StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

After capturing Typhon, Augustus did not take advantage of the situation to take down the Sigmar Quadrant, the last territory of the Taldarin protoss. Instead, he chose to let the soldiers of the empire take a rest in the occupied area, and the fleet changed from offensive to defensive.

During this period, the most busy ones were the medical workers accompanying the army, who had to spend all day treating the wounded.Even so, many fighters still died of their injuries, and their remains were sent to their hometowns for burial on the transport ship returning to Korhal.

In previous foreign wars, no one was undead.Just so, Augustus never liked war, but he had to end it with war.

The Imperial Fleet, which is resting, must be on guard against possible retaliatory attacks from Tadalin at any time, so the soldiers must remain vigilant while resting.

In this way, when Christmas came, the soldiers of the empire had to have fun.Fortunately, although Typhon is barren, there are also forests and jungles among the canyons and high cliffs in the middle latitudes. It is good to decorate a few Christmas trees.

In addition to not drinking alcohol, they can only use black tea and coffee instead. During the festival, warriors can still enjoy hearty food, and they can also take the local creatures they hunt for extra meals.Emperor Augustus has no plans to establish a colony in Typhon at all, and has not introduced any measures to protect local resources and wild animals for the time being.

A few days after Christmas, Augustus finally received an ultimatum from the Tal'darin executive Neon.

Naion didn't seem to have given much thought to why the Tyranid humans attacked them, or even tried to figure it out, and just dismissed Augustus and his warriors as blasphemous heretics.

From this point of view, Niang has indeed fallen into a state of insanity, he can't listen to any words, and has no plans to talk to Augustus.The communication ended with the executive scolding and cursing the emperor. Naion claimed that he would hunt down Augustus to the ends of the earth and let him die [-] times.

It can be seen that the executive officer Niang is probably really crazy.

(Alarak has a voice line: Do you know a fate worse than death? I will let you collect terrazine and you will go crazy like Niorn.)
Of course, Augustus was extremely vigilant against such an unstable factor on the border of the empire.

But the expected revenge did not come. For more than ten days, Augustus did not even see a shadow of Tadalin.

Augustus didn't figure out Naion's plan, maybe he expected that the humans of the Tyrann Empire would definitely attack his base camp, so he was waiting for work.

Combined with the words of Naiang's captured subordinates, the insane Naiang is not popular, and he can control these tadarins only because he is a real strong man.Even though Niorn once had allies on his home planet Slane, they are now kept at a respectful distance because of his crazy appearance.

Tal'darin's society is known for its cruelty, power is paramount, and no one will miss old love.

If Niorn didn't lose his mind, he could use the terrazine resources in his hands or play tricks to gather allies in Slane, but it is obviously impossible now.

Since this was the case, then Augustus predicted that Naion would not be able to wait for reinforcements at all, and his reinforcements were already on the way, and they were almost here.

When the new year is approaching, this day is just about to go to sunset.

Typhon's blue main-sequence star was still shining. It looked like just a star in the sky, but it shone brighter than all the stars. The light and heat it released still made the weather here extremely hot.

On the open reddish-brown land, clusters of Kedarin crystals around the Sarnaga Temple, which the emperor used as a residence, stand out and emit blue and purple flashes when the night is approaching.As the sun gradually set, a blue-green crescent rose above the clouds, its light rippling like a moon in water.

This is a very different alien world, and the sadness of the red desert blows over us, as if the earth had just passed the Ice Age.Lonely mysterious altars and minarets stand among the bright mountains, peaceful and harmonious.

The Sarnaga Temple, which stood here at least a few million years ago, still stands under the moonlight. The wind and rain will not collapse. The spiral wall and the huge arc-shaped steps are shrouded in dark green light. In the middle, it seems to be covered with moss and vines.

Although Typhon is also a place of bitter cold, it also has its own charm.Perhaps this is also the charm of this cruel universe.

Surrounding the temples of the Xel'Naga are also hideous buildings of the dark gothic style of the Tal'darin protoss, and the blood shard crystals in them still exude the powerful and turbulent energy of the past.It's just that the crystal towers in it have collapsed, and these Tadarim buildings have also been paralyzed.

There are also bases of the Imperial Army scattered around, mostly square-shaped silver and gray buildings.The base, lit by wired beacons, is populated by soldiers, scientists, archaeologists and technicians.

In the dead of night, sensors and sentry soldiers are still monitoring the ancient temple and the desert in the distance.In the moonlight, patrols in squads of ten walked on floors cut from solid rock and lava, with the clatter of steel boots.

In a corner that others can't notice, many small spider-shaped robots are loyally guarding the sleeping people.This is the family created by Victor Kaczynski, which so far includes spider mines, widow mines, and black widows mines.

Among them, the black widow mine can detect the wave of psionic energy. Once an invading psionic creature is detected, it will swarm up and be detonated. It is specially designed to guard against the invisible warrior blood hunters of the Tadarin Protoss and the ghost agents of the Federation.Of course, there was some kind of flaw in Black Widow Ray's IFF system, and more than once she attempted to attack her own Dark Templar.

Regarding this matter, Victor was kept in the dark until the emperor specially summoned him.

At this moment, it is already midnight.

The emperor's room is located in an empty room in the Sarnaga Temple. There is only a wire bed in the room. The set of sun-wood tables and chairs was brought in by Augustus from the previous Governor Cha Sara. , is still in use.

Augustus didn't have much interest in those luxuries inlaid with gold and silver, and his brothers and sisters were responsible for the layout of the palace.However, the electronic equipment in this room is top-notch, because the emperor must ensure that he can communicate with his army at all times.

If necessary, Augustus could meet his ministers and generals at any time and place, even when he was ready to sleep.

Augustus is still dealing with the government affairs from Keha, mostly related to the appointment, promotion and transfer of the imperial ministers, or which world announced today to completely secede from the federation to join the empire, which world turned its back on its promise and needed to mobilize troops to suppress the rebellion.
In any case, after dealing with these matters, Augustus always asked him to appoint a new governor.Augustus couldn't just appoint a general as the governor to prevent the expansion of the army's power out of control, so he had to find a new candidate.

These viceroys only represent the emperor's right to rule the various territories and colonies of the empire, because the emperor of the empire is the governor of all imperial planets in name, and this honor is also counted in his title.

Fortunately, administrative talents can be discovered from core worlds such as Tarsonis, and whether it is his father Angus or his elder brother is fully competent in this regard.Augustus does not need to select these people's loyalty, he has his own high-level psykers to investigate and review.

Augustus favored the hardworking and capable over the powerful and influential.People who were depressed in the federal era could make great progress in the empire, so the voices praising the emperor's wisdom became more and more powerful.

Of course, there were endless chaos in the newly established empire. Many federal rebel organizations and individuals committed crimes in the name of eradicating the remnants of the federal aristocrats, and even committed many sensational atrocities.There are many cases where noble families who used to be attached to the creation family were massacred. Except for instigators with ulterior motives, the murderers were civilians who had never killed anyone in the past.

Augustus could only order these nobles to be imprisoned to temporarily protect them, quell the incited public anger, and then punish the murderer, emphasizing that sinners should be punished, but only law enforcement can do so.

At the same time, although the strong-willed people in the Pan-Tayran Party and the army still account for the vast majority, the revolutionary fighters from the fringe world are often corrupted by money and fame after seeing the prosperous Tarsonis, and some officials from the fringe world can't wait to abuse it. The emperor gave him the power to collect bribes and oppress the people, thinking that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so he will not find himself.
These things are always one after another, emerging in endlessly.If it weren't for Augustus's father and brother's ability, he would not have been able to come to the army to expedition to the frontier.

The only thing that bothered Augustus so much was that his sister, Dorothy, seemed ready to go into politics too.

Dorothy Mengsk is 20 years old this year. She has beautiful long gray hair and gray eyes. She is outstanding in appearance and intelligence.She has shown the potential of a leader since she was very young. She is eloquent and quick thinking. She has learned political and business knowledge from her father since she was a child, and now she has shown abilities that are not inferior to her father and brother.

For this younger sister, Augustus was of course very distressed, after all, he only had such a younger sister.Thinking of it this way, Augustus can only let Dorothy serve as the governor of the main star of Veridia to test the waters first, and let Arcturus assist in it.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to lie down." Thinking of this, a soft touch came from behind Augustus, and the fragrance of shampoo rushed over his face.

At best, the barracks can only provide ultrasonic baths, but Typhon has abundant underground water resources, so a hot bath is still enough.

"You stinging bee." Augustus wrapped Kerrigan in his arms, feeling the curve of his hand.

Honestly, Augustus isn't very interested right now, but Kerrigan seems to be getting more and more determined to have a baby.Neither of them had any problems, but they couldn't get pregnant.

If the empire has a clear successor, princes, ministers, marshals and generals will not have to waver in the struggle for power, and the regime will be more stable.

But Augustus didn't really care, and he hoped Kerrigan would understand.They were still young and had time, and if not, Augustus would choose a successor from among his siblings or their descendants.

Kerrigan huddled in Augustus' arms, waiting for the oncoming storm, but in a moment she sat up irritably in the Emperor's lap.

"It's really not the right time." Kerrigan frowned, and the blurred look faded from his green eyes.

A female Royal Guard soldier knocked gently on the door, and then brought news of the arrival of Artanis, the protoss executive of Durham.

"Faraday! Tychus!" cried Augustus.

Augustus hurriedly got up and changed his clothes, and rushed to Typhon Star Port, where the royal guards outside immediately arranged vehicles.Although Kerrigan's face was full of displeasure, she also distinguished the severity. Anyway, she had plenty of time to get close to Augustus, and she had a lot of cards to play, so she just had to be wary of unruly people.

The captain of the guard, Faraday, will arrive soon, and the deputy captain, Tychus, has been procrastinating, but he has caught up in time.

Tychus has nothing to fish for, and there is no romantic place, so Tychus put his mind on the cultural relics, appreciating their value vigorously in the middle of the night.

Soon, Augustus met Artanis, the protoss executive of Dharam, Phoenix, the grand consul, and the daughter of the dark templar matriarch at the pressurized port of Typhon star port.

Artanis brought new news from within the Protoss of Durham, that is, after rescuing Razagal, the frightened matriarch Razagal decided not to serve as Archbishop of Durham, but to be executed by the original high-level Officer Tassadar continues to take over.

Due to Tassadar's wise leadership in the defense of Sacoolas and his closeness to the Dark Templar, this did not cause much shock.To a templar who respects and is willing to learn the traditions and skills of the dark templar, the dark templar returns the same reverence.

In this way, Artanis, a student of Tassadar, took over the position of the mentor and became the new high-level executive.Yet the position was more stress than joy for the young Artanis.

Augustus was sincerely happy for his old friend Tassadar, but also worried about the health of the old Dark Templar patriarch Razagal.Even by human eyes, she is a virtuous and respectable lady.

Many dark templars reluctantly accepted the templar just because of the patriarch's affection. If the patriarch passed away, it would indeed be a big earthquake.

The Dalam Protoss are staunch allies of the Tyranid Empire, and Augustus does not want them to fall into civil war.

But according to Vorazun, the matriarch's body is very healthy. For a character who can talk to the Prince of Blades with a mother-like majesty for several months, this thrilling trip to capture is not worth mentioning. Nothing to scare.

Razagal was a stronger warrior than Vorazun when he was young, and he has seen countless ups and downs.Apparently, she was just making an excuse to step aside.

But Vorazun was less than satisfied.

"Tadalin, Tadalin is full of lies and shameless." Upon seeing Augustus, the true-tempered Phoenix yelled:

"Die, Tadalin! Where are they? I must give these despicable kidnappers and thieves a little color - no, I want Tadalin's blood to splatter three feet!"

"Phoenix, brother, they're not here," Augustus said to Phoenix.

"You'll be able to do that soon, champion," said Kerrigan, her hair still wet, with her hips akimbo.

"Your Majesty Augustus, phase engineer Karax saw the Tadarin weapon you sent, and found that it was almost a replica of Carlisle Technology, and there was almost no difference except for the material." Artanis said to Augustus Stu used human honorifics, which seemed to him that the emperor was a position similar to that of the archbishop.

"I really don't know how they did it. In other words, there is an explanation for where the lost fleet went. Tens of thousands of people were enslaved and mutilated by Tadalin. Horrible atrocities!"

"Protoss kills protoss according to the law of Dawu, such crimes as Tadarin must be severely punished." Phoenix said:

"This crime deserves punishment."
