StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

When the dawn comes, the sky in Auguste Grad is turquoise, and the fog brought about by industrial production and construction is like a gray lens.Considering that the natural environment of Keha IV is already riddled with holes, such pollution is not worth mentioning at all.

Outside the air port of Auguste Grad, tens of thousands of people cheered on both sides of the broad triumphal avenue with side guards.They held high the golden and red flag of the Tyrannian Empire and a stand with slogans on it, and shouted the emperor's name and his series of titles that could last two minutes.

In the front of the line of guarding the Emperor was the vulture car of the Imperial Alpha Squadron.Then came the Imperial Navy officer formation of about 400 people, each wearing red CMC-300 power armor, followed by the Marauders and Wolf Mechs of the Royal Guard.

These giant armors and mechas greatly shocked the people present. There is no doubt that these are powerful weapons of the new era.

The emperor's armored car was in the line, and he was responding to the enthusiasm of the people with gestures behind polarized bulletproof glass windows.At this time, the remnants of the federation within the empire have not been wiped out, and there are many people who want to restore the Tyrannian federation by assassinating the emperor of the empire.

The love of the people is by no means fake and pretentious, because the lives of them or their family members are improved because of the emperor and the empire.These people accounted for most of the population of the original Tyrann Federation, and they were the cornerstone of the empire.

And even among these enthusiastic people, there are not a few who harbor malicious intentions and look on coldly.But they also put on an eager look, trying to stretch their heads to catch a glimpse of the handsome and extraordinary emperor.

But they don't have to kneel, worship, or kiss the emperor's boots.

The current Augustegrad is still under construction, rising from the ruins, and she is a city of miracles in itself.

The airport was built in the central urban area of ​​Augustograd, and the buildings here were mostly tall buildings over [-] feet and giant skyscrapers comparable to the Sky Tower.The buildings in August Grad are all under construction, and the bronze-colored steel frames and concrete seem to be the skeleton of the city.

The city center is connected by a maze of viaducts, high-speed train tracks, trams and subways, with parking lots, escalators and bridges to and from skyscrapers and subway platforms.

The pyramid-shaped alloy frame of the palace is like a mountain in the distance, surrounded by a number of silver towering minarets, which are the undisputed landmarks of Auguste Grad.She is not only the largest and tallest building in Auguste Grad, but also the most majestic building in human history.

This majestic and magnificent building did not use every cent of the credits in the treasury, all of which came from the private property of Prince Arcturus Mengsk, and the question of the emperor's large-scale construction and extravagance was untenable.

Augustus noticed that all the construction workers gathered here were construction workers from Auguste Leary, merchants selling small commodities, and some government office servants in formal clothes.This is also the main demographic structure of Korha IV. There are not as many rich people and nobles as in Tarsonis, and they are mainly blue-collar workers.

There are no nobles in Keha, because the nobles of the old federation wish to stay as far away from the emperor as they fear the devil.

This situation may continue for quite a long time, Korhal will be the industrial hub and political center of the Tyranid Empire, and Tarsonis, which is the financial and commercial center, will still be the richest world.

The triumphal ceremony soon ended with a salute of guns, and Augustus announced that to celebrate this victory, everyone could have a paid day off on this day.In this way, the cheering onlookers walked into bars and restaurants to share what they had just seen.

Busy August Grad has calmed down, except for the city government's AI-controlled automatic sprinklers that are still working.There are almost no pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and no luxury yachts in Tarsonis can be seen. The road is wide and all the way forward.

The wall outside the palace gradually appeared in front of my eyes, it was just a high wall surrounded by fences and electric grids.At this time, the palace has just completed the foundation construction, and there are some temporary buildings on it.The construction was very dusty and noisy, and it would take four years at the fastest to be completed for the royal family to live in.

The royal family mainly lives in another completed skyscraper, sharing the royal guards and palace guards.

The building is also heavily guarded by Imperial Ghosts, given that the Tyranid Federation government once dispatched Ghost agents to assassinate family members of the Mengsk family.According to a conservative estimate, at least 1200 former federal ghost agents chose to be loyal to the new imperial government, and about 150 became imperial ghosts directly under the emperor.

In the court of the Tyrannian Empire, there are no ladies and ladies wearing gold and silver belts or clown jesters, only soldiers with sabers and silent ghosts.

These protective measures are extremely necessary. Since the founding of the country, the crazy supporters of the old federation have been trying to assassinate members of the royal family and high-ranking officials of the empire.

When Augustus arrived at the building where the royal family lived, the royal guards who guarded the makeshift court saluted him.They were all wearing gold and red powered armor, with ceremonial blue ribbons hanging from their shoulders.

The royal guard is only loyal to the emperor and the royal family, and they are ready to sacrifice their lives to protect the royal family at any time.

Although it is only used as a temporary imperial palace, of course there must be something that should be there.The halls and aisles of the building are decorated with magnificent decorations, including marble pedestals covered with star maps, exquisite mechanical clocks, three-branched candlesticks with reflectors and flat flower tapestries, and slender tall glasses filled with with apple blossoms and roses.

Even the delicate tables and chairs are gilded, and countless brass-colored mirrors and crystal clear crystals adorn the walls.

Even so, what Augustus was most satisfied with was that he didn't spend a penny for it, because all these extravagant ornaments were obtained from the mansion of the founding family of Tarsonis without exception.

Two ladies in sky-blue dresses and black velvet shawls were waiting for him, and beside him was a little boy with blond hair.It was Augustus' mother, Catherine Mengsk, Princess Juliana and Prince Valerian, while Augustus' father, Angus, who was both Secretary of the Exchequer and Prime Minister, was at work.

The Mengsk women were all beautiful, with elegant features and graceful figures.The little prince also inherited this noble face from his mother, he is so handsome, and his blond hair is so soft.

Valerian Mengsk, the son of Arcturus Mengsk and Julienne Pasteur, is the favorite of many.

Augustus hugged his family members one by one, as he has done every separation or reunion in the past.

"Go, that's your uncle." The princess said to Prince Valerian, who was holding her hand.

Princess Julianna is still as beautiful as ever, but even the best cosmetic surgery can't hide the subtle wrinkles.She's still young, but she looks like she's aging fast.

The marriage between the princess and Prince Arcturus was not happy. This seemingly humble, courteous and ambitious man was actually an extremely selfish person. He had long since lost interest in this woman, and he did not have much tenderness in his heart.

In fact, Julianna is a very gentle woman, an elegant Umoyan nobleman, a perfect marriage partner.She was supposed to be a haven for her husband to rest when he was tired and injured. Unexpectedly, Arcturus was such a hard-hearted man.

Arcturus is not the kind of person who will be bound to a woman and a family. He is an eagle, and neither heaven nor earth can bind him.He never gets hurt and gets up again and again even when he gets beaten.

"Your Majesty, you have already defeated the Protoss and Zerg. There is no one in this world who is more qualified to be called a hero than you." When Valerian walked in front of Augustus, the latter was also watching he.

Valerian was only fourteen, but already tall and strong.By continually honing himself, Valerian had become the heir his father expected him to be: knowledgeable, quick-witted, and graceful and quick in manner.

"Your mother taught you this?" Augustus looked at his nephew with a smile.

Augustus was surprised to find that Valerian had grown into a reliable man when he hadn't noticed it.When he was a child, his body was weak, his arms and legs were as thin as chopsticks, but now his whole body is full of strong muscles.

In addition to receiving family education, Valerian is also studying politics and economics at the same time, and can skillfully use various firearms.This is partly due to his Arcturus upbringing and partly due to his dream of going out and making a living.

Valerian expected to be a hero like his uncle Augustus.

"I think so." Valerian's eyes seemed to be shining: "I heard from my father that you fought against aliens, and that was never mentioned in myths or epics. False Protoss And the ravenous zerg are the enemies of humanity!"

"This world is not only black and white. Children, if you want to be a king, you have to rely on your own judgment to distinguish between friends and enemies, turn enemies into friends, or kill with a knife." Augustus said to his nephew.

"No, I want to become an adventurer and an archaeologist, and go to alien planets to discover alien relics and rare mines." Valerian stood shyly and humbly like a child, but immediately because of Augustus All amiable and relaxed.

"What's so good about aliens and mines? As a member of the Mengsk family, you are born to engage in a great career!" Arcturus on the other side frowned and shouted "Nie Zi".He has been wise and powerful all his life, and somehow he gave birth to such a thing.

"Don't you think so at your age?" Augustus smiled.

"He has to go to Stilling Military Academy, and now is the right time." Arcturus has always been arbitrary and decides the future of his children based on his own ideas, which is exactly the same as his father.Before he knew it, Arcturus had become the very man he had fought so hard to rebel against in his youth.

The Stilling Military Academy is the first military academy in the empire. The academies here come from various empire territories, and most of the imperial officers choose to send their children to this school.This means that if Valerian can successfully complete his studies, he will be able to make friends with future imperial generals.

As a member of the royal family, Valerian can inherit his father's title in the future.Even though he is not yet an adult, he has obtained a fief of his own.

"Arcturs, you idiot! Valerian should decide his own future path!" the princess said angrily.

Arcturus immediately showed an angry expression, but he didn't have much confidence in the face of the rare woman in the world who dared to slap him in the face.He and Juliana always quarreled about their son, and the relationship was very bad.

"Enough, Arcturus, Augustus just came back, this is a day worth celebrating." As soon as Catherine spoke, Arcturus didn't dare to say anything more.If it was his father who said this, at least he would never admit defeat, and his mother was the person Arcturus respected most in this world.

Catherine is proud of her children's achievements, but she is constantly worried about their safety.Because she was too worried about Augustus, worried that he would die in battle, and my mother was getting older and older because of worrying.

"Have you any plans of your own?" Augustus asked Valerian softly.

"I'm going to finish my studies at the Stilling Military Academy first, then join the Imperial Marine Corps, and then go on an adventure after retiring." Valerian replied.

Arcturus raised his chin, showing a triumphant expression.

It can be seen that Valerian is following the example of his uncle, and wants to walk the path that Augustus once walked.

"Then do this." Augustus patted his nephew on the shoulder, and suddenly thought of something: "Where's Dorothy?"

"You just appointed her as the governor of Viridia's main planet, and you just set off a few days ago." Catherine also sighed.

As their youngest child, Dorothy, grew older, she grew more beautiful and stronger.Like her older brothers, Dorothy was charismatic, quick-witted, and good at following her men.

Dorothy is not like a noble lady, rather, she is a queen-like person wherever she goes.

"Well, I almost forgot about it." Augustus put his hand on his forehead: "I was always worried that Dorothy would be hurt, but then I realized that I couldn't protect her all my life. The essence In fact, the Mengsk family all have similar personalities."

"But as far as I remember, she's still that little one. Dorothy, she really grew up while I wasn't paying attention." He said, "I should have a daughter."

With that said, Augustus took Kerrigan's hand and walked in.

After a long time, Augustus once again had dinner with his family.

Keha's high-radiation environment is not suitable for growing crops and raising livestock. Only hydroponic farms and food factories can provide synthetic food.Fresh food must rely on chilled imports, which are extremely expensive in Augustegrad.

To set an example, the royal family ate nothing more than soup with dried mushrooms, mixed lettuce and sausages.Augustus did not care for modest food, and he could not have eaten much worse in the army.

Augustus was still very happy. This kind of family atmosphere that was not harmonious but still warm was what he wanted to protect. He really hoped that thousands of imperial families could sit together like this when they returned home.
