StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

The Augustegrad Palace originated from the ambitions of the imperial people.

From the moment it stood in Korha, the spire of the imperial palace ruled the skyline of Augustgrad. She is the symbol and logo of the Tyrannical revival spirit of this era.

Millions of tons of concrete, steel, cast iron, marble, granite, tiles, nickel, chrome, new alloys and glass have been used to construct the palace so far.This pyramid-shaped super-giant building can be called an unprecedented miracle in the history of human architecture. It is rumored that its height alone is enough to affect the direction of airflow, and its weight is enough to indirectly cause earthquakes.

The Imperial Palace is known as another monument in the world, and her very existence is a eulogy and praise to human creativity, wisdom and strength.

It was a cloudless night, and even from a few miles away, people could see the brilliant golden light of the palace, as if it was really a pyramid made of tons and tons of gold.

Not only that, for this meaningful day, the grand occasion from the downtown of Augustgrad to the area still under construction hundreds of miles away can no longer be described simply as "decorated with lights".All buildings, streets and roads are brilliantly illuminated to welcome the coming royal family, and even government buildings, barracks and ports are shrouded in bright light.

Ten thousand dazzling anti-gravity crystal chandeliers lit up Stirling Square outside the Augustegrad Palace, and all the fountains were illuminated by crimson lights at the bottom.

People in the entire Augustgrad, the entire Korhal galaxy, and the entire Tyrannian Empire are waiting for the birth of this child with royal blood.

The closer you get to the palace, the more crowded the streets will be.The crowd is so dense that people are almost stuck together, forming an impenetrable wall.Standing in the crowd, even an hour can't move a few yards, and you can only see the small golden and red flag of the Tyrannian Empire from your raised hands.

As for the flying cars and private airships in the sky, there are countless, firmly occupying the best position where you can have a glimpse of the palace in the non-no-fly zone.On the Tram and Skytrain tracks around August Grad, suspended trains decorated with lights and flowers circle August Grad over and over again.

The whole of Augustgrad has come to a standstill, and even the newly sensible children are following their families to join in the fun in an ignorant gesture.

The busiest thing today is the police department in Augustegrad, but even if they have three heads and six arms, they are not enough to deal with the situation, and the emperor can only send troops to maintain order.

Different from this lively and grand scene, the surroundings of the Augustegrad Palace are heavily guarded. Imperial soldiers in power armor can be seen everywhere, and Goliath armed robots can only be seen in celebrations and military parades in the past. Occupying every gate of the palace.

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty."

Augustus, who was dressed in a golden red luxurious robe, nodded to the two sergeants of the royal guard guarding the gate of the palace as he walked, and frequently greeted the guards who kept their eyes on him.

Everyone had serious and tense expressions on their faces, even Corporal Tychus Finley, who was usually not a good person, appeared extraordinarily solemn.Anyone who was close to Augustus knew how much the emperor attached importance to this day and could not tolerate any accidents.

The emperor was seldom angry, but his truly terrifying appearance was beyond the description of a raging lion or a roaring dragon.The last time the emperor was furious, it was the day when a colonial world that decided to join the empire was destroyed by the fleet of the Federation's defeated army. All the ministers in the palace trembled and kept silent.

Every step Augustus takes, he can feel the sight from everywhere and the glimmer of the sensor camera.The Royal Palace is not only a symbol of the imperial power of the Tyrannian Empire, but also the strongest barrier of Keha.

The palace has installed the most advanced life safety and maintenance system, with a complex flame-retardant barrier structure, biochemical filtration system and ion shield force field. It is equipped with pressurized elevators, fire stairs and elevator platforms to ensure the deployment of personnel All fast enough to be foolproof.The basement of the palace is more than 100 meters deep, which is enough to ensure safety in the threat of nuclear strikes.

Even the palace's communication lines, exhaust ventilation shafts, electrical appliances and water storage pipes are under strict monitoring, and the entire control network is controlled by a computer system.The core and some of the components of the computer come from the built-in supercomputer Atlas of the flagship of the colonial mothership Najerfa. Although it has been a technology for more than 200 years, it has not been surpassed until now.

As soon as he entered the palace, Augustus' sight also fell on the wide corridor and the royal guards stationed on both sides.The emperor's affirmation made all the guards stand upright, holding the AGR-17 (AGR-17 rifle) rifle in their hands again and again.

The interior of the palace is a crisp and cool combination of metal and glass. The steel and glass dome is connected with layers of domes until the starry sky.The exquisite steel skeleton, shining glass curtain wall and bluish ion force field create an open and transparent interior space.This is a combination of modern Tailun human art and ancient new era architectural style, which is extremely simple and technologically beautiful.

What the architects are most proud of is the slender and tough nanowires used to support the glass curtain wall, making the entire palace look like a column-and-beam Greek temple made of crystals.With the rapid development of nanotechnology, more and more technologies can be used in construction, medical treatment and military affairs, and also expand various fields to previously unimaginable prospects.

Looking past these loyal warriors, Augustus thanked the soldiers softly.He didn't have time to stay longer, but he took every step leisurely.

Through a straight staircase operated by anti-gravity technology (Anti-gravity), Augustus and Tychus went straight to the top floor of the palace.

The top floor is a huge garden, sitting room and dining room, which is planted with exotic flowers and plants from many imperial territories-this is not an extravagant move, for those colonies that are on the verge of bankruptcy due to war or are just starting In the world, tax collectors will only symbolically bring back a few random flowers and their seeds from that land in lieu of taxation.These vegetations are all planted on the top floor of the palace, and become more and more prosperous as time goes by.

As if the emperor was with the people of these worlds.

The gardens were also used for meetings with envoys from the Kel-Morian Commonwealth and the Umoyan United States, and sometimes emperors hosted court ministers, members of the Imperial Council and generals here.

The queen loved the garden too, and she loved the beauty from a very young age - although she often had nightmare memories of the past.

"Your Majesty." As soon as he entered the garden on the top floor, Augustus saw his father's former security captain, Achton Feld.Acton had aged a lot, but the majesty between his brows was still the same as before.

Acton had watched Augustus and his sister Dorothy grow up, and now saw the birth of his child.

Right behind this loyal guardian of the Mengsk family, many familiar figures can be seen. They are all ministers in the court and generals in the army. Each of them has amazing power in the empire.

Friends of the Mengsk family were also invited, including the families of ministers and generals, as well as many members of the former founding family who were closely related to the Mengsk family, including the Terra family and the Hult family.There are about a hundred people in the entire garden, but compared to the huge area, they are only sparse.

Nova Tella is also on this list. She is 13 years old, and this delicate girl is gradually starting to develop.It won't be long before even Augustus is amazed at Nova's beauty.

The Terran family has the closest relationship with the Mengsk family. This family did not decline due to the destruction of the Tyrann Federation, but became more prosperous.As the youngest child in the family, Nova also saw the emperor from time to time.

And Nova was more in awe of Augustus, and she had to keep a close eye on her mother and sister who always wanted to be the emperor's future child mother, lest they be chopped off by the angry queen.

"Your Majesty Augustus." Like the others, Nova also bowed in salute.She was wearing a white silk dress and pure white gloves, and her etiquette was perfect.

Augustus looked at them and nodded slightly.He walked through the crowd to his relatives and friends.

"Augustus, I've been through this too. Believe me, don't be so nervous. My mother said that auspicious people have their own destiny." Jim Raynor said that I am familiar with this.

Reynolds also wore a black gown, which was also surprisingly fitting.If he hadn't joined the army on the spur of the moment, Lei Nuo might still be farming at home now, or go to that police station as a small police officer.

"I'm not nervous." Augustus replied.

"You always clenched your fists when you're nervous, just like you look up at the ceiling when you're lying." Prince Arcturus nodded, "Now you can kill people with one punch."

"Augustus, Sarah will get through this." Mother Catherine held Augustus in her arms.

"Hmph, labor hasn't started yet. What's the hurry?" The old father Angus hid aside, not wanting to admit that he was also in a hurry.

"Listen to me, there's nothing to worry about. There are the best midwifery doctors and the most sophisticated equipment in the entire empire." General Duke always had an inexplicable self-confidence. on other people.

Although General Duke is generally regarded as a man of blood and heartlessness at his core, he had done a good job of teaching the future heir to the throne to march and fight.

"I swear, the princess will be educated in the art of war as soon as she is born." The general raised his nose triumphantly: "Haha~hahahaha~"

Duke is like a wayward child, he is very angry when he is angry, and he wants to put a flower on his face when he is happy.

"Come on, you." Mira Han was wearing a cook's black clothes, a white apron around her body, and her pink hair tied into double ponytails. She looked pure and lovely even though she was a big sister.

"Are you going to teach the princess how to defeat a battle? You shameless old bastard."

"You you you" Duke blushed with anger.

"If only my daughter is still alive." Connor Ward sighed, both happy and sad.

"That's enough, don't say depressing words." Renault shook his head.Connor has not yet come out of the shadow of losing his family, and he refuses to start a family for the second time.

"It's better for you to say a few words less." Xander Marx said.

"When can we see the baby?" Hanak Hank was extremely eye-catching there, this time he even dressed himself as a plush little yellow duck, ready to make the newborn child laugh.

This adorable duck has a bellyband filled with baby bottles, small clothes and other cute little things.

Really macho tears.

"That human cub will be born safely." A bloated figure in a clergyman's costume with a cross ornament on his body let out a childish and sharp scream:

"Ah—God bless my Tyrannian Empire."

"Marshal Alpha, be careful, my illusion is not stable yet, so don't say a few words, so as not to expose your secrets." Sacco Angelini, the headmaster of the Ghost Military Academy of the Tyranid Empire, was wearing a military school uniform with a black background and red trouser line, nervous So that even his golden hair flickered:

"Since when did you believe in God?"

"I heard that this is a standard procedure and that existence is valuable. How do you know if there are real gods in this world? Gods taste pretty good." The brain worm seemed not to care how much attention his weird appearance attracted, and even It was rumored that the emperor hired a wizard because he was too worried about the queen's safety.

"Principal, move me to the left, this position. Thank you." It announced: "I want some Coca-Cola to calm my surprise, and I want a bag of French fries...It needs to be fried thoroughly, with ketchup."

Augustus wrenched himself free from his mother's arms, a little dizzy from the chaos around him.Somehow, Rory Swan suddenly appeared.

"Your Majesty, I know you're nervous. I'm sorry. Although I've been married several times, I don't have any children yet and I don't have much experience." Swan thought for a while and said, "But I can help this child make a cradle and toys."

"Or you want me to forge a sword that belongs to the imperial power, that's fine too. I heard that Arcturus likes to do this."

"No, thank you." Augustus immediately refused.

At this time, another royal guard announced the news of the new guest, and Augustus was overjoyed.

Not long after, Dalam Protoss Archbishop Tassadar, CEO Artanis, Archon Phoenix, and Executive Officer Mojo walked in through the dedicated passage.These protoss in golden armor caused everyone's surprise and tension, but they all knew the friendship between the protoss and the emperor.

This is not a secret that cannot be disclosed.

"One year is just an ordinary moment in the life of the protoss, but it may mean marriage, the birth of a child and other important things for humans. As a close friend, this cannot be missed." Tassadar walked by Augustus.

"I knew that you would definitely come by writing a letter." Augustus said happily.

Suddenly, a moving shadow came in front of Augustus, and the elder dark templar walking out of it aroused the tension of the guards present.

"Zeratul is my mentor, we are like brothers." Augustus said immediately.

"I brought it." Zeratul was still dressed in rags, but the geometric cube in his hand was very exquisite.He looked at Augustus, his green eyes slightly curved upwards, revealing a humorous outpouring of emotion:
"A Gift."
