StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 635 The Imperial Prince
The main console was activated again, shaking and projecting the flickering imperial emblem, and the flickering light reflected the magnificent and wide bridge and a compelling face.

The man's well-trimmed and groomed brown hair and beard flickered under the bright lights of the bridge, his majestic face was as intricately carved as a Greek statue, and a lot of white hair could be seen on his head, but Still not old.

He was wearing a gray-black double-breasted military uniform with a wide collar, a golden wolf head badge pinned to his chest, broad bronze epaulettes outlining the silhouette of his shoulders, and a poor worker's pistol and sword pinned to his waist.

"It's Arcturus Mengsk!" Compared to the calm-faced Grace, Tavis Cole couldn't help but panic when he saw this sculpture-like motionless face, even though he felt the reaction in his heart. Remind yourself over and over again.Even if Augustus Mengsk is here, he is a mortal after all, not much different from himself.

Prince Arcturus was one of the powerful figures in the Tyrann Empire who held great power, one of the few who stood at the apex of the Koprulu sector, and this power did not only come from his brother who had ruled the world.

Manipulating hearts and politics as he pleases, Arcturus Mengsk was a born statesman and leader.

The Mengsks of Korha have built an empire of war, conquest, and bloodshed, and ruled it with politics, ambition, and an iron fist. This family has risen from the fire by more than empty talk or begging for the mercy of its enemies.They are fatalists, but they only believe in the destiny they created.

The Tyrann Empire rose from the ruins of countless worlds and the sea of ​​corpses and blood. Sitting on the throne, Augustus the Great looked down on his empire with cold eyes. He and his brothers and sisters had blood on their hands.

"He brought an imperial fleet." Grace's beautiful face was instantly illuminated by the flash of a Kel-Morian pirate plundering ship's explosion, and she looked extremely pale and gloomy, as if she was just a A ghost that can disappear in the sun at any moment.

More and more imperial warships appeared on the radar scanning charts, and the bright light of the stars shone on the magnificent armored belts of the battleships painted iron gray. The deep dark space could not be seen at a glance, only the lights ahead brilliant.

A formidable line of battlecruisers lined up, followed by escorting Valkyrie frigates, science ships and Viking fleets.

Another newer type of warship, the Liberator, also appeared in this starry sky. This new type of warship was built on the basis of the Valkyrie as a new type of gunboat-class warship. It dispelled doubts from all walks of life about this new type of warship, and soon became an indispensable support force for the main fleets of the major empires.

A flame symbol on these Imperial warships represents their belonging to the Prometheus Legion, a legion that has burned far more worlds than the Protoss.In contrast, the Imperial Crimson Firebats are even more humane than the Prometheus Legion, because at least they don't sprinkle food on charred corpses.

Arcturus Mengsk's flagship, the Bucephalus, stood at the forefront of the Imperial fleet, its majestic bridge lights flashing.It is said to be a Gorgon-class battlecruiser.

She is also the largest warship ever built by the Tyranid Empire, and is without a doubt the brightest star in the Imperial fleet, although this number will soon be unsurprisingly surpassed by the new Imperial flagships White Star and Royal Princess to break.

Led by the Bucephalus, the imperial wolves showed their fangs and mercilessly launched a devastating attack on the panicked pirates. The precise and orderly barrage of the imperial fleet searched for every deserted place like a god of death. The escaped pirate warship.

Without any mercy or hesitation, one pirate warship after another was destroyed without any suspense, and buried into the cold space.

After the initial shock, bewilderment and loss, the pirate warships, which lacked a unified command, just fought on their own, not to mention that the two pirates were fighting to the death just a few minutes ago.

The powerful pirate fleet is no match for the more powerful imperial fleet, and they also lack the courage to fight the empire here.

The group of mercenaries were the first to be shaken. Obviously, the commission of the Chimera pirates was not enough for these profit-seeking interstellar mercenaries to confront the mighty empire.

"A fleet?" Tavis' face became even uglier: "In the past two years, the empire has only deployed fleets near the main shipping lanes, and has never wiped out pirates on a large scale, let alone when the swarms are invading." when."

Even if it is the imperial fleet that is no longer popular, the capital ship is a genuine Minotaur-class battlecruiser, and these few pirate ships cannot touch porcelain.Even a mid-level Imperial Navy squadron is enough for the pirates in this galaxy to drink a pot.

"This is a trap." At this time, he finally fully understood: "If it hadn't been prepared, the empire would not deploy an entire fleet in a remote star field. Damn it, the Chimera pirates probably got the empire's intentional leak. news out."

"The old Commonwealth technology center on that moon was just bait, and we're a school of fish trapped in a stagnant pool."

"Arcturs Mengsk!" Tavis looked directly at the illusory light and shadow in the holographic projection, clenched his fists and shouted: "You can't arrest a Ke Morian who hasn't committed any crimes, you can't do that Do!"

But the man in the holographic image just moved his neck slightly, the expression on his face was as hard as steel, and his sharp outline was outlined by the dancing flames of the naval gun outside the porthole.

Occasionally, the prince would nod his head in a certain direction, as if he had already decided the death penalty for a certain pirate warship at this time.

"This is an all-channel broadcast, he can't hear what we're talking about." Grace said calmly, and waved her hand: "I advise you to save your energy."

"Tell him now that we are just passing by and are not interested in the old federal technology here, will he believe it?" Tavis languished like a deflated ball, sighing uncontrollably.

The Imperial Navy Fleet is a symbol of the Empire's military power, and it is also the reliance on maintaining the Empire's hegemony. Pirates are absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the Imperial Fleet.This fleet may have just been transferred back from the frontiers of the Empire. They have just finished beating the Zerg, and dealing with a bunch of pirates is nothing more than beating up children.

"It's like saying that a thief can get away with money." Grace shook her head, as if she was amused by Tavis, "You shouldn't beg for mercy from the Mengsk family, because they won't show mercy to anyone."

"No, no, I'm not a pirate, and I shouldn't die in the hands of the empire." Tavis looked at the approaching imperial fleet outside the porthole of the bridge, and gritted his teeth, "We should surrender, we should surrender!"

"Your father can redeem people with money, and including me, all the pirates on this ship will be hanged by the empire. Even if they risk their lives, they will not surrender to the empire." Grace smiled, Throw the pot to Travis again:

"Of course, if your father's people had been more cautious, we wouldn't have done this trip. If Captain Alfred came back at this time, he would have torn you to pieces."

"What's the use of hindsight? I've made it clear earlier, and I'm still standing here." Tavis understood the situation clearly.

"If it weren't for the zerg infection and plague that broke out in your father's mine, making ends meet, and capital turnover problems, you wouldn't have taken the risk." Grace seemed to have seen everything through, but she didn't make it clear until now.

"That's why I hate telepaths." Tavis snorted, "But now is not the time to quarrel, the top priority is to find a lifeboat to escape. Anyone can see that this gang of mobs can't be an opponent of the regular army. "

At this moment, Tavis was really seeing the Yamato guns of Arcturus Mengsk's flagship Bucephalus firing, and the surging flames engulfed the ship shrouded in the shield position in an instant. Chimera battlecruiser.The aura of energy storage and launch is extremely shocking. Compared with the old Yamato guns equipped by pirate warships, they are just match guns.

Several pirate battleships turned their bows to block the Bucephalus' advance, but all their artillery fire just fell on the raised green shield force field, like a punch on cotton.However, the Bucephalus' counterattack was a fatal blow. Her firepower completely overwhelmed any pirate ship. Even the most magnificent pirate battleship was extremely vulnerable in front of this imperial flagship.

At this moment, the battleship under Tavis's feet had already been completely paralyzed, and most of the systems stopped operating.Captain Alfred's pirate capital ship has been defeated in a thrilling "pistol shooting distance" contest with the Chimera.

Not only that, many areas of this warship have caught fire, and the spreading fire is too large to be extinguished. The raging fire illuminates the riddled hull, and the scene is spectacular and frightening.

And the condition of the Chimera is much better. Since the moment the imperial fleet appeared, she has already left the boarding battle and prepared to flee.

At this time, the Kel-Morian pirate capital ship, which was dying, was floating powerlessly in the deep space, unable to resist or escape, and it would be silent after a few rounds of concentrated fire from the imperial fleet.

"Escape?" Grace didn't seem afraid at all.

"It's not escaping, it's surrender." Tavis emphasized: "I'm just a businessman who was unfortunately captured by pirates, and the diplomatic ambassador of the Kelmorian Federation in Augustograd will definitely try his best to get the money from the imperial government." Rescue the unfortunate captured natives in his hands."

In the blink of an eye, Tavis had already figured out a way out, he didn't need to live and die with a group of despicable pirates.Since the appearance of the imperial fleet, Tavis did not think that his side had any chance of victory.

The reason why Tavis told Grace this was because she believed that in her capacity, she would be able to get the best lifeboat at such a critical moment.He had to get as far away as possible, because being captured by storming Imperial Marines on the bridge of a pirate ship was another thing entirely.

"Then run away." Grace glanced at him and said mockingly, "But I still have to stay here."

"Are you crazy?" Travis asked in surprise.

"There are still two lifeboats in Port G, you need to hurry up." Grace ignored him.

"The Cole family will never forget your kindness." Tavis glanced at her and realized that he couldn't get any help from this mysterious woman, but it was enough.

Tavis took a few steps and was about to rush out of the wailing bridge, when the holographic image of the imperial prince Arcturus finally started to speak.

Along comes the tune "I, Mengsk" (I, Mengsk, Wings of Liberty cutscene heir music), which is said to have been composed by a Tarsonian musician to commemorate the fourth anniversary of Augustus the Great's enthronement , impassioned, shocking.

"My brothers don't have time to pay attention to you wolves." Prince Mengsk family's iconic cold gray eyes couldn't see a trace of warmth, cold and hard, as if he was talking to a group of dead people.

As Arcturus Mengsk spoke, the Bucephalus opened fire again, a deadly laser battery blast that completely pierced the armor of a Kel-Morian pirate capital ship.

Like an egg shell smashed by a heavy hammer, this mighty pirate warship stopped moving after a shocking explosion, and was finally buried by a huge space torpedo, leaning and burning like Buildings engulfed in flames.

It was like a scene in hell, no pirate ship could stop a salvo from the Bucephalus, and no amount of resistance from the pirates could shake her in the slightest.

The entire starry sky turned into a furnace of horror, full of horrible explosions and burning metal, full of tragic wreckage and sad corpses, these steel behemoths were tossed around like fragile rag dolls in the Imperial fleet go.

As rumored, this is a ruthless character who was truly killed from the sea of ​​corpses and blood in the war. When dealing with his enemies, Arcturus Mengsk has never been soft-hearted.

Tavis only felt his hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't make any sound from his throat.In the icy sky, he couldn't hear the deafening roar of those battleships at all, but watching the battleships go silent one by one was a more terrifying pantomime.

He saw a Chimera pirate warship converted from a Behemoth-class battlecruiser, desperately trying to avoid the Bucephalus's barrage salvo, mistakenly preparing to force a jump state, but the other two Imperial Mi The Notau caught up with her and caught her.

Like a bundle of firewood being ignited, the Chimera pirate warship sank with a roar.

"I only give you bastards one chance to choose, surrender and not kill." Prince Arcturus paused for a moment, as if waiting for an answer.Immediately, he spoke again:
"Do it, General Blazer."

After finishing speaking, Prince Arcturus left, replaced by an imperial general whose face was covered under a heavy power armor helmet.

"Burn them," said General Blazer.

　I have a little cold, the quality of sleep is very poor, and my nose is bleeding...
