StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 552 Stilling Memorial Military Academy
That night, Easter bid farewell to the friends he had just met, and boarded a military shuttle that took off from the Hyperion.This is General Matt Horner's special plane, and he himself changed to the APOD transport ship and went straight to the palace.

It's hard to tell whether this is a trick by General Matt to get rid of the shell.

The driver of the shuttle, Easter, knew him. His name was Imsher. He was born on Marlowe and grew up in a poor community there.

Irmscher now often brings up times when he graduated from high school with no hope for the future, waking up each day with no expectations for the next day.

The end of the Tyrann Federation was an era of chaos, darkness, and despair.

At that time, Marlowe was in social turmoil under the influence of the Great Depression of the old federal economy, and the unemployment rate was rising steadily. Imschel could only knock on doors with leaflets and do the work of selling black market telephones.

Like the young people in this class, Imsel spends all the money he earns except paying the rent in underground bars that provide stimulants and enhancers, which is completely different from the life of the Marlow star elite. world.

One day, several revolutionary troops came to Marlowe, and they brought with them a revolutionary theory that was never heard of by Marlowe people, calling for the establishment of freedom and democracy, and the return of rights to the people.Imsher didn't know much about the so-called revolution, but he just followed the golden and red flag.

Imsher that year, like Easter Fosse.

"When I was your age, I knew as much as a hair on your leg. You know? Four years ago, I was busy singing and dancing with a lot of girls, and now I'm getting married soon. Imscher was sitting in the main driver's seat of the shuttle, and his friend Easter was in the passenger seat next to him.

"I remember her name is Mary Lou, and you showed me the photos." Easter looked out through the cockpit glass at various types of ships passing by like fleeting shadows, and expressed his gratitude for the prosperity of the Keha Channel. repressed.These fixed routes are like endless highways, with all kinds of spaceships passing by every moment.

He could make out some Container ships and Space trucks, each bearing the badge and tags of the shipping company it belonged to.

Korhal IV is a prosperous industrial planet with a permanent population of 29 billion, only slightly lower than Tarsonis.

Since large tracts of land are covered by dangerous and desolate radiation deserts, Korhal's fresh vegetables, meat and pure water are all dependent on imports, and cargo ships full of food, live animals and crystal mines sail to Korha every day , leaving ships loaded with high-tech products, engineering components and military products.

Tens of millions of people work in jobs related to this route, which is closely connected with the livelihood of hundreds of millions of people.

There is no doubt that Keha is the political, economic and cultural center of the Tyrannian Empire, and the people of the Tyrannian Empire regard her as a symbol of imperial power and destiny.

Farther away, Easter can vaguely see some huge shadows, which are likely to be part of the Sky Shield orbital defense platform.

"Mary is a beautiful girl. She has naturally curly blond hair and sea-like eyes. I can't believe she chose me in the end." Imschel couldn't remember how many times he mentioned this matter, Anyway, he couldn't stop talking about it:
"I miss her every day in the past, and write to her whenever I have time, and wait until it is safe to send it."

"Yes, you've probably told me this a hundred times. My opinion has never changed: Anyway, Imshel, you have to have some confidence in yourself." Easter could almost Guessing what his friend was going to say next, he took out the photo of the blonde girl when he was free, and said that he could survive those difficult years because he could go back to his hometown and marry her.

Imscher is not just an ordinary pilot who drives a shuttle, he is a genuine captain of the Imperial Navy, and he is the full-time driver of General Matt Horner on weekdays, and he also served as a substitute for Augustus Montgomery during the Battle of Ayr. The Emperor Sk has sailed.

He is also an empire double silver star battle hero, only more than 1000 empire soldiers have won this honor in previous battles, and many of them have already died.

The blond Mary Lou might be a child of a wealthy family on Marlow. In the past, it was almost impossible for a poor boy like Imsher to gain the approval of the other's parents, but now it is different.

As an officer in the Revolutionary Army, Imscher owned two properties in the center of Augustgrad in Keha. His family enjoys the family treatment and subsidies of imperial officers, and his children can study in military academies. He is recommended to Well-known military academies have even more opportunities.

In any case, Imscher succeeded in the end.I heard that Imsher went through many twists and turns when he returned to Marlowe to get engaged to Mary. At first he was kicked out as a fraudulent thief, and later he drove the imperial general's special car when he went back.

"You're right, Easter, I hope you can come when I get married," said Imshel.

"Definitely." Easter actually wasn't sure if he could ask for leave at that time, because the management of the Stilling Military Academy was very strict.

At this time, Easter finally saw Keha outside the window and was attracted by the dreamy picture—it was a beautiful planet shrouded in hazy purple flashes, and the dark side facing away from the sun was shining countless Colorful lights.

"That's Keha, that's Keha!" Imsher next to these words said it twice, each time with a different tone.Keha is more than just a character. To mention Keha is to mention the great Tyrannian Empire.

Heroic Keha!She is a microcosm of the Tyranids' resistance to the tyranny of the old Federation and their pursuit of freedom. The history of Keha is the history of the fall of the Federation and the rise of the Empire.

Korhal, once utterly destroyed by the old Federation, still stands tall.

In a world like Helsingne, someone who speaks of Kehanar is probably referring to the Empire.

"That's Keha." Easter repeated.It was the first time he had seen Keha in full.

Four years ago, war almost completely destroyed Istrel's hometown of Helsern.Affected by Keha's preferential immigration policy, Easter's sister also joined Keha's army of immigrants.His older sister studied while working, and later entered the city hall of Augustgrad as a civil servant.

Easter was basically brought up by her sister.

"I've never really been to the Korha before the nukes, and I won't have the opportunity to do so again," Imsher said. Things, I should really show you what Keha is today, Augustgrad is now."

"I watched Keha gradually become what he is today."

While speaking, the outer window glass of the driver's cab was gradually covered by a layer of silver heat shield, and the outside light slowly dissipated.When the shuttle entered Korha's atmosphere, it circled down from the sunlit side, and the sun's rays would burn those in it.

"It should be dawn when we arrive at Bennett Air Port. If you are lucky, you will have a chance to see the sunrise over August Grad. I can guarantee that it is the best sunrise."

The shuttle landed in Korha's atmosphere, the cabin filled with the steady hum of the hull rubbing against the atmosphere.This shuttle is really a good ship, and all the shuttles that Easter has been on in the past between space and the ground are inferior to it.Compared to the rumbling noise of those old shuttles entering the atmosphere, it was a disaster.

When Korhal's gravity completely replaced the artificial gravity inside the shuttle, Easter knew the ship had come to rest in its anchorage at Bennett Aerospace.When the heat shield outside the window was opened, a landing platform full of voices suddenly appeared in front of him.

Bennett Airport has a vast area, consisting of thousands of apron platforms of different heights, straight electromagnetic launch tracks and signal towers, all of which are shrouded in a thin light blue shield due to ionization. Field interior.

At the other end of the apron is the unloading platform of many Korhalian freighters, which are full of high-rise containers, and towering cranes and electric unloading engineering vehicles are moving the cargo.

A Bennett Industries four-engine heavy transport plane was taking off, her voice like an angry humpback.

This is the Bennett 3 apron. Looking up, you can see the sky of August Grad at dawn. From this position under the shield force field, the sun is indigo blue, which is extraordinarily beautiful.

The sky is filled with all kinds of container ships, shuttles and yachts, eventually converging into a winding, upward spaceship belt, as if hanging on the horizon.When has Easter seen such a scene before, he couldn't help admiring it.

"Follow the instructions, and after you find the high-altitude rail train platform, you can go where you want to go." Imsher followed Easter and got off the shuttle.

"Goodbye, my friend." Easter said goodbye to his friend.

"Maybe there will be a day when we can fight side by side." When Imsher waved his hand, he was still holding a few bunches of red flowers, which were a kind of flower from Ayer.Imsher's former comrades-in-arms are buried in Stilling Cemetery in Augustgrad, and their spirits still remain in Ayr.

Stilling Cemetery is also the burial place for Union soldiers who died in the war against the Swarm invasion.At that time, most of the recruits were young people from left and right, and they were often the ones who bleed the most.These young people are still young and full of innocence. They have only received a short training and know nothing about the ferocity of the Zerg.

Easter said goodbye to his friends and headed to the train platform via a vertical elevator and a downward ramp.On the way, he was able to see many advertisements about cutting-edge technology products and a poster of a certain politician running for the administration of the empire. One of the movie advertisements occupied the largest space on the billboard.

Keira Veles' new work, this brain worm is not too cold - α Films. Mr. Alpha is a lone killer whose codename is Cerebral because it is as powerful and deadly as the Zerg Cerebrate.Until one day, a little girl knocked on the door of his house.
"It's beautiful." Easter knew this actress, and there was such a vicious speculation in the bar in Helsinger that Keira Veles was simply taken by the godfather of the film industry in Augustgrad. With such resources, in order to get ahead, she did not hesitate to call him foster father, and...
People in worlds far from the throne think that Augustgrad is not as glamorous as it looks, after all, Tarsonis used to be.

When they got to the rail train platform in the airport, Easter found out her sister's address again.

At this time, there were already many people standing on the platform, and the voices were noisy, discussing prices and the latest news.Some people whispered about the recent political situation, while others talked loudly, saying that the Kel-Morian Consortium must be secretly supporting the remnants of the Federation, and that the Imperial Navy should strike hard immediately.

Easter was amazed by the self-confidence of the Augusteglers. In their view, Umoyan and Ke Morian were no longer a threat.

This kind of argument is tenable, the current Tyranid Empire controls most of the Koprulu star region, and the United States and the Commonwealth seem to be separated by a few sparse points at both ends.

The people of Augustegler are not surprised by outsiders like Easter. This newly rising city is full of immigrants from other planets.If it's Tarsonis, it's going to tell the country folks that they're begging in Tarsonis again.

While paying attention to what the people in Augustgrad were talking about, Easter stepped on a high-altitude rail train that circled the city.

The train tracks are supported by numerous elevated and steel pillars, which seem to float above August Grad.When the train was in motion, Easter could easily look out of the window at the center of Augustgrad.

The magnificent cityscape of Auguste Grad opened Istr's eyes, and the train moved at high speed in the vast square and countless high-rise buildings stretching into the sky.The incomparable royal palace, the grand city hall, the city square with gushing fountains and the pedestrian island surrounded by greenery among the roads together create a shocking sense of art.

These geometrically huge squares and staggered checkerboard-like streets are like straight straight lines stretching out to the distant horizon, dividing residential areas, large buildings and industrial areas into regular rectangles along the broad main lines Space, every part of Auguste Grad fully embodies the regularity and harmony of the precision of modern urban industrial gears.

Easter saw the Stilling Memorial Military Academy located outside the palace, saw the walls and gates made of white marble and steel, and the wide walkway surrounded the military academy campus densely planted with tall fir trees.

The fir tree is a symbol of Auguste Grad. Whether it is silver fir or snow fir, this kind of fir, which is as tall and straight as the point of a knight's spear, stands in every corner of the city, and they symbolize the unyielding will of the empire.

A huge monument can be seen even from this location in Istres:
Join the Imperial Marines, we can't win without you. —General James Eugene Raynor.
