StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

A few days later, there was a sudden heavy rain in the Cactus Canyon where Augustus was located, creating thousands of fleeting, short-lived lakes and ponds in the low-lying areas between the canyons, as clear as a shimmering surface sparkling mirror.The downpour was as unusual as anything happening on Phaethon, for the canyon had received very little since records began.

A local old man who insisted on staying to provide guide work for the imperial army told Augustus that the meaning of water in Phaethon was equivalent to hope, and he was the one who brought hope.

Augustus says he just brought an army and tons of cannonballs, maybe the meaning of bringing hope is to blow the fuck up.But the pious old man insisted on linking this with the ancient prophecy of Phaeton, and believed that the emperor was the savior.

There is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth, Augustus has heard too many words from a dark templar elder, and he doesn't believe it at all.

Perhaps hope is something that can be seen but cannot be touched. The lakes and ponds left by the heavy rain in the cactus canyon were quickly evaporated by the hot sun of Phaeton.The weather was cool for a while, and then it became unbearably hot again.

Imperial soldiers from places like Tarsonis, Haven, and Helsern were uncomfortable with the Phaethon environment, but fortunately for the marines, their comfortable power armor was like a second home.

While waiting for more imperial fleets from various worlds to arrive in Phaethon, the frequency of fierce battles on the planet is also decreasing day by day.Sass, the leader of the Gamm swarm, has always been cautious. After losing the battles in the orbit of the planet and on the surface, it retreated into the underground of Phaeton to avoid confrontation with the main force of the empire.

But that doesn't mean the Swarm has given up on Phaeton.In fact, the galaxy where this planet is located has turned into a huge vortex, and multiple imperial fleets and swarm armies are rushing here at the same time.

Half of the Koprulu star sector has heard the news, and there are too many imperial fleets and swarm fleets that have met and fought on the way.

"Kanta (tar), Scoria (Scoria), Marles Guard 4 (mehlus iv). Even Dalam protoss who are fighting Narsi (h) and Vanass (vanass) The life-and-death Kukulkan swarms are rushing to Phaethon." In the command center, Prince Arcturus Mengsk was handing a cigar to Olympian who was propping his hands on the hologram table. Gustus.

"It's lively. It's lively." Augustus took a cigar, put it in his mouth and lit it with a lighter.After a long time, he let out a long breath, but his eyes were still on the ever-changing star map.

In the fluorescent green light curtain, the sky full of stars is jumping on it.The Koprulu star region is located on a spiral arm at the edge of the Milky Way. Compared with the center of the Milky Way, the stars here are sparse, but looking at the starry sky, there are tens of billions of stars.

On the star map, the territory represented by red and the territory of the swarm overlapped in a dog-tooth manner, and some abandoned colonies and sentry worlds of the Dharam Protoss could be seen on the edge.

"Where's Aiur's swarm?" Augustus straightened up, standing shoulder to shoulder with Arcturus.Both were dressed in dark brown wool coats with gold buttons. …

"You're kidding." Arcturus looked like his brother had told a silly joke: "It's too far from Phaethon, if they want to come, they have to go across the entire Koprulu planet Area."

"No, I mean, as long as they don't make any noise." Augustus stared into Arcturus' eyes: "Four years have passed since the Battle of Aiur, and the old Ministry of the Juggernaut is still guarding it The place where he died—even though the body of the ruler has long been evaporated by the two mutually repelling powers of void power and purification power, there is not even a single residue left."

This swarm is always a threat to the team.The Aiur swarm is almost comparable to the Char swarm in power, and most of them are the old divisions of the first generation of Master Crusade Aiur.

After the protoss fled Aiur for Sacoolas, there were still a large number of zerg left on that planet, and they seemed to have begun to multiply according to their instincts.It now appears that the Aiur Swarm is a nobody.But Augustus knew that Amon's hybrid could also control the zerg on Aiur.

In the plan of Emon and Narud, the El swarm left a trap for the Dharam protoss, so it will not be easily exposed, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will change their minds.

Augustus heard that as the great golden fleet had begun to take shape, the archbishop of Durham had recently found it increasingly difficult to suppress the internal calls to recover Aiur, and decided to first recover the mother planet Aiur's satellite Shalock.Although a warning had been given to suspend the recovery plan for Tassadar, after all, the Dharam Protoss was furious and the public opinion was hard to disobey.

In the original historical track, the campaign to recover the satellite Shalok was just a small episode before the restoration of Aiur. It was originally intended to take back Sharok as the base for the final attack on Aiur.Later, the protoss postponed the plan due to the setback of the campaign, and the recovery of Aiur was postponed for another two years.

But in contrast, the protoss in this timeline have retained a lot of power and are stronger, so it is hard to guarantee that they will not hit Ayer in one go.If Emon is pushed into a hurry, there is no guarantee that he will not hack Kara first, and then he will have a lot of fun.

And Augustus is worried that if he will be involved in the war of the Protoss Empire to restore Aiur, he will inevitably face enemies on both sides.Therefore, he has been keeping a close eye on movements in the direction of Al.

"Since Aiur is the territory of the protoss, let them have their own headaches. Don't these self-important protoss have to let humans clean up the mess." Arcturus's feelings for the protoss are very complicated. Not only admire the power and honor of this race, but also fear the power of the ancient Protoss Empire.He'd rather destroy the Protoss than befriend them if he could.Now with Xing Lingxu and the snake, but still can't fight.

"Guys, you would never have imagined——I have received news that the Tiamat swarms from Cavir are coming here. If Tiamat starts to move, it means that the Overlord will not be too far away Far away." At this moment, Imperial Marshal Jim Raynor came in from the open door.He wears the gray power armor of the Devil of Heaven, and the scratched rattlesnake skull on the armor shows that he has just endured a rough battle not long ago.

The officers of the Imperial General Staff in the command center all stood up and saluted Raynor, waiting for the other party to nod before sitting down. …

"The Tiamat swarm. Haven't they been in Gavill for several months?" Augustus looked at Raynor.

"That's right, I thought that at least until the end of the year, the Tiamat swarm would no longer move their nests, but things went against our wishes." Renault said as he walked, and the heavy iron boots of the power armor made a clanging sound:

"And, they came out in force."

"So Garvir doesn't have many Zergs anymore." Arcturus opened the star map and found Garvir's coordinates: "We should find a chance to capture Garvir and destroy the main lair of Tiamat above."

The supply and transportation lines are the lifelines of the Tyranid army. They also need weapons, ammunition and soldiers from the colonies, and the brood world is also the lifeblood of the swarm.If a Hive World of a Swarm can be destroyed, their efficiency at hatching eggs will be greatly reduced for a period of time.

When fighting the swarm, you don't have to worry about moral issues, whether it's cleaning the zerg brood world with nuclear bombs, or using inhumane biological and chemical weapons on a large scale.

The navy is also playing smart, cleaning out important brood worlds at every opportunity.

Since I can't live, then don't live.

"Well said, Arcturus, which fleet is the closest to Garvir?" Augustus asked.

"Admiral Prior's fleet," replied Arcturus.

"Then let him go," Augustus said immediately.

"Then there is no doubt about it any longer," said Arcturus, nodding.

This General Prior is a ruthless man, one of the few characters who can drive the swarm around.Pryor is also an imperial general capable of writing and fighting, and he has a good way of governing the empire's territory.

"Help me, give me one." Lei Nuo never put on airs as a marshal, and he was very close friends with the emperor and the prince, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

"Don't worry, this is a cigar from the territory of Umoyan Venus. One bite is a sack of credits." Arcturus grabbed a handful and gave it to Renault.

"Anyway, it sounds good." Renault lit a cigar and looked around: "Where are the Tychus people?"

"He was on a rescue mission, and a small town a hundred miles away found survivors." Arcturus replied, "There are wild beasts there, we can only use Odin."

"Brutal beast?"

"Even Phaethon? This is not good news. For a while, we had to use orbital strikes to destroy this monster." Renault frowned.

"The Zerg is also constantly evolving, but we can always learn new things from those new and different species." Augustus said: "Over the years we have not only learned from the Protoss, but also from the Zerg. Get inspired."

A few Brutal and Kingbeasts have been captured and sent back to Korhal, hoping that Dr. Egon Stetman will use these zerg to develop new technologies as he promised.Everyone but Stetman himself, though, knew he liked to brag.

"Jim, what's going on in the high-altitude orbit?" Augustus asked again.

"Not before I came down from above," Raynor said, shaking his head.

"Alarm, the swarm fleet has jumped in." As soon as the words fell, the alarm sounded.A light screen lit up on the star chart table sent back the pictures taken by the Imperial fleet and orbiting satellites in the high-altitude orbit of Phaethon. …

In the picture, huge Leviathans jumped out of the wormhole.As soon as these space behemoths lingering in purple light appeared, they attacked the imperial army on the Phaeton orbit, and countless zerg flying creatures jumped out of the chambers in their bodies.

"Oh, damn it, it's Yemengarde's swarm!" Lei Nuo cursed, "Cao Cao Cao Cao is here."

"This is the Hyperion, I'm Matt Horner, the swarm is coming." On the other side is the image of Imperial Admiral Matt Horner.

"Tell me about the situation above, Matt." Augustus's calm expression immediately calmed Matt down.

"At least twenty Leviathans have appeared in the Phaethon galaxy, and the number is still increasing." Matt reported to Augustus: "The one who leads them is a Queen Leviathan."

"What is your order?"

"According to the plan, use all the guys." Augustus ordered: "Let them see our determination to stick to Phaeton."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Matt's image then disappeared.

"Come to Europe." Augustus then called out the name of another person in the command system.

Appearing on the screen was a young boy with a shiny bald head.He called Leo Travski, a cadet at the Usa Ghost Academy.Lai Ou's telepathic power is not outstanding, but he has a special ability called teopathy.

Based on this ability, Lai Ou can communicate with computers, which is a talent that ordinary people cannot match.With the help of Laiou, the hidden dangers of information network security can be alleviated.

Leo Travsky himself is also part of the firewall of the data network, and almost all the mechanical adjutants of the empire are controlled by him.

"Your Majesty." The bald boy immediately looked at Augustus.

"Activate all automatic weapons and earthquake detectors in the fortress, and pay attention to every move of the zerg network." Augustus ordered.

"Understood." Leo replied.

"All Phaeton troops, prepare for battle immediately." Finally, Augustus ordered in the command channel: "Soldiers, I am Emperor Augustus Mengsk, and I am in Phaeton. It is about the fate of the entire human race. We will help each other and tide over the difficulties together."

He had been struggling to resist the ferocious attack of the swarm before, buying time for the citizens of the Empire to evacuate the war zone, but now that the people have evacuated, Augustus has now decided to fight the Overlord at Phaethon.

"What is it that makes them so crazy, is the Emperor's allure really that great, God, you're not even a telepath," Raynor said.

"It looks like this." Augustus looked at the star map.

"I knew that your charm is not only transgender, but also transspecies." Renault's next words made Augustus unhappy, although the latter knew that the other party had no malicious intentions at such a critical moment.

It's true, both Zerg and Protoss love Augustus.

"In fact, this is mostly due to the Xel'Naga artifact." Arcturus replied on behalf of the emperor.

Dr. Narud has tweaked the Xel'Naga artifact so that it now has the equivalent of a thousand psionic launchers to the swarm.

"I have to return to the fleet immediately." Renault nodded.

"It's up to you, Jimmy," said the Emperor.

"It's a good show," said Prince Arcturus, clapping his hands.
