StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 638 Primal Split Pool

Augustgrad, the gates of the Imperial Palace.

Officials from various ministries of the empire, wearing gray flannel suits and uniforms, left the palace one after another, and boarded the government-issued flying car with serious expressions.The Minister of Justice of the Empire, Frederick, looked particularly ugly. He was sprayed for a long time by Emperor Augustus holding his tie at the imperial meeting just now, but now the saliva on his face had dried up long ago.

Walking down the granite steps at the gate of the palace, Frederick touched his neck with lingering fear, secretly glad that he survived.

Emperor Augustus was not the kind of monarch whose face was always covered with clouds and anger, so the ministers who were familiar with him knew how serious the situation was when he grinned and gnashed his teeth.

Comparing the emperor to a lion, he just roared in front of the chicken coop, and the little chickens froze, only a cerebrate was watching and grinning from behind.

To Imperial dignitaries, the enraged Emperor is even more terrifying than the Zerg.Even outside the palace, trembling important officials of the empire did not dare to gather in twos and threes to speak.To be precise, this was not a meeting where the emperor listened to ministers' work reports and opinions, but a meeting for criticism.

Undoubtedly, Emperor Augustus was disappointed with the ability of these courtiers.Despite the emergence of corrupt elements and anti-imperialists within the government, wartime insurgencies, terrorist attacks, demonstrations and strikes by workers were expected to continue, no matter how incipient.

The Empire has fleets and cannons to deal with any enemy from without, but it is corruption from within that it should fear most.

What really angered Augustus was that maybe he had lived a stable life for a long time, and there were more and more people who were overstaffed. The imperial government became gradually bloated and inefficient, and people who lacked ability and courage crowded out vital position. In the long run, the empire will become just another federation.

If the emperor is not satisfied with the highly centralized whole of the Tyrannian Empire, then he will prove that no one in the entire imperial government is indispensable.

The power of the empire is highly concentrated in the government, and the power of the government is highly concentrated in the emperor, and the cabinet is only a tool for him to rule the empire. It is used to convey his own will, and no one dares to violate it.

No one in the Tyrannian Empire can question the authority of Augustus Mengsk, and his word is the law.In the current situation, this is the most suitable system for the empire.

The weather in Augustgrad this season turned cold, and the parks and boulevards between the Royal Palace and the Imperial Parliament Building were full of people and few lights.Frederick straightened his tie habitually, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he was ready to go back and summon the chiefs of the subordinate bureaus to convey the emperor's anger.

"General Jacques Bennett, long time no see." At this moment, Frederick noticed a man in the uniform of the Imperial Navy walking under the escort of the guards.

General Jacques Bennett was once a member of the Demon Squad of Heaven. He had a very high status in the empire founded by the military.General Bennett was not interested in politics, but that was the kind of people politicians were most willing to approach.

The army belonged to the emperor, and the wise politician always avoided dealing with high-ranking officers as much as possible.

"Well, I went on a long trip." Although Jacques Bennett was born in a noble family, he was not a handsome and handsome nobleman, and he could talk to anyone.

"Wars are everywhere now, and the frontline is tense. Not only Zerg, but also pirates and rebel organizations are taking the opportunity to threaten the central channel and the fringe world." As the Minister of Justice, Frederick naturally knows how turbulent the core world is.

In the past two days, Arcturus has escorted tens of thousands of pirates to Keha's resocialization factory, and it is said that this is only the first batch.

"Hey, Frederick, I haven't seen you for a while." Behind Bennett was a red-haired man in a Marine Corps uniform, with a chic ponytail and golden skull earrings on his ears.This somewhat frivolous man is covered with battle scars, but to him it is just a badge of honor.

Frederick recognized who he was early on, but just wanted nothing to do with him as much as possible.

This is General Harnack Hank, also the old subordinate of Emperor Augustus in the Demon of Heaven.The tempering of the war has turned this former street gangster into a real soldier, but his bad character still cannot be ignored.

"Do you know what we did?" Hanak put his arms around Frederick's neck and laughed: "I didn't do anything, I just took people to the depths of the galaxy, and put the monsters in the home of the Zerg. There was a fire."

"Happy! Happy!"

Harnack is not bragging, they really led an imperial fleet to Zerus, the birthplace of the Zerg.

It is indeed as dangerous as Char, the dense jungle is full of dangers, and there are zerg and primordial zerg fighting each other everywhere.But Hanak is not an ordinary person. Augustus asked him to set fire to Zerus, and he really set fire to the mountain.

Then, according to Augustus' instructions, the Dark Templars of the Tyranid Empire and the Dark Patriarch packed up and brought back the original split pool of Zerus.

With Harnack's intelligence, it's hard to understand why they went so far to Zerus to move a pool back, and it can't be used for bathing.

Of course, Augustus must have his reasons for doing this, he was always right.

With a dark face, Frederick tried his best to break away from the other party's arms: "You let me go!"

The powerful Attorney General was distinguished and distinguished in appearance, with eagle-like piercing blue eyes and a crescent-shaped nose.Frederick always gave people a ruthless impression, and he would only be ashamed when facing General Harnack.

Relying on being the emperor's eldest brother, Harnack was untouchable in the empire.

Foolish people have foolish blessings. Somehow, Harnack was favored by the current patriarch of the Bennett family, Tara Bennett, who is the sister of Jacques Bennett, and was actually engaged.

"You mean the Zerg's home planet?" Frederick struggled to break free from Harnack's warm embrace.

It's no secret that the zerg were not born in Char, but in a warm but dangerous place.Of course, the zerg of today are far from their ancestors, more like swarming insects than reptiles.

The imperial fleet has actually hit the Zerg's home planet. This incident is bound to cause an uproar among the people.It can be expected that the empire's media propaganda machine can use this to improve the confidence of the empire's names in the war.

"Yeah, I've been walking on the light road for more than half a year. If it weren't for the hibernation cabin, I would be bored to death." Harnack yawned, and he was always talkative: "By the way, I also brought some there. The special products are back, do you want to go to my house to have a look?"

"No, no, no, I still have things to do." Frederick waved his hands again and again, thinking that I don't have time to mess around with you.

"It's a pity, you should really go and see the original Ultralisk skull I brought back, it's about that big!" Hanak gestured and left, seeing that the other party was expressionless, and finally lost contact with Frey Derek's flaunting interest was almost as eye-catching as he was flirting with an old woman wrapped in a torn sheet.

"It's boring, I went to find the boss."

Frederick shook off the sweat on his face, and watched the two imperial generals enter the palace, still a little excited in his heart.To have a fleet full of warriors go deep into the galaxy to raid a Zerg homeworld is a thrill.

Compared with the mighty imperial fleet, Augustegler's bureaucracy is really embarrassing to use, no wonder the emperor was furious.

Frederick shook his head and walked to his flying car. The assistant waiting beside him told him that the Camerian ambassador just asked to see him, and wanted him to rescue a group of Camerians who were mistakenly imprisoned by the imperial army as pirates. sailor.

"No, under the censorship system presided over by telepaths, no criminal will be innocent, and no one will be wronged." He just dropped this sentence and signaled his assistant to refuse visitors: " Unless his memory has been tampered with, unless his perception of his identity has been skewed."

It would be better to have less dealings with the Kel-Morians.

"Are you familiar with this Frederick from the Ministry of Justice?" Jacques Bennett stepped into the ornately decorated main hall of the palace, nodding to the soldiers of the Royal Guard who were saluting along the way.

Auguste Gallery is resplendent and magnificent, displaying all kinds of precious works of art, and even planting exotic flowers and plants in the aisles.

There are still many important officials of the empire in the palace, but their appearance is very strange in the eyes of Jacques and Harnack.Most of the veterans of the revolutionary army are in the imperial army, and they are incompatible with these elites in suits and leather shoes.

But in the final analysis, the imperial government is much more down-to-earth than the old federation, at least there are no contemptible nobles here.

Jacques was once a nobleman, but he never considered himself one of them.In his view, Augustus Mengsk is the same kind of person.

"Who told me I'm popular." Harnack considered himself a popular person.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, talk about other things." Jacques thought for a while: "Since you are back in Augustegrad, why don't you dare to see my sister?"

"Don't dare?" Harnack grinned, "I don't dare."

"It seems that you really didn't go to her." Jacques said.

"Just no time," Harnack corrected.

"You're afraid of her." Jaco said with a blank expression, "For a scum like you who doesn't care about meat and vegetables, this is really strange. Anyway, she is also very beautiful, and she is one of the few remaining creation families. leader."

".I can't deal with smart women. Your sister always plays with me." Harnack sighed as he spoke, "You should be able to understand my situation to some extent."

"No matter what I think, I don't understand what charm you have?" Jacques sighed deeply.

This world is really wonderful. It turns out that the heir of a founding family will not have any connection with a soldier.

Time has passed, and among the bad boys in Demon of Heaven who have survived until now, all of them have become big shots, the peasant boy has become the marshal of the empire, and the street gangsters are also well-known generals.

Jacques could imagine that if he hadn't met Augustus, the rabble who came out of the boot camp would either have died in the war, or they would have gone their separate ways after retiring.Except perhaps Augustus, no one at the time could have imagined that they would achieve great things in the future.

If that wasn't the case, Harnack would have died from the flames ignited by his firebat armor, and Tychus might have dragged Raynor to become a train robber,

"I'd rather be with the boss than with her." Harnack dismissed it.

"He doesn't have that much time to stay with us anymore." Yaco shook his head: "He is the emperor of the Tyrannian Empire, and there are many things we can't help him at all."

Just as he was talking, Harnack saw the Royal Guard Captain Faraday and Tychus approaching.

"I haven't seen you for a while, where did you go fooling around." Tychus asked when they met.

"Light a fire on Zerus," Harnack said.

"You have done a great thing." Tychus laughed: "And then?"

"We brought back the original split pool of Zerus, God knows what's the use of it." Hanak spread his hands: "The pool is full of catalytic fluid, which is said to strengthen the body and accelerate evolution, but most people can't bear it Stop, if you jump in, there will be no bones left."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Tychus asked again.

"Are you asking me?" Harnack waved his hand, "I don't know what I'm talking about either."

"Where's the boss?" Harnack asked.

"Who knows." Tychus shrugged.

"Aren't you from the Royal Guard?" Jacques said.

"It's fired now, not long ago." Tychus' tone was a little proud.

"What's wrong with you again?" Harnack asked.

"It doesn't matter if you don't go to prison." Tychus is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and he didn't plan to be promoted to a noble.

"Faraday, the Emperor is looking for us, but where is he now?"

"I'll take you there." Faraday waved his hand and led Jaco and the others to a palace elevator.

At last they came to a hall facing the sun, in which stood statues of heroes of old, and whose walls were framed with mirrors in gold.

"What's the deal with this tapered golden wolf statue?" As soon as he entered, Jaco noticed a strange statue at the door.

The statue of the Golden Wolf can be seen in many places in Augustegrad. This heavy bronze statue is undoubtedly to show the royal authority to the people of the empire.But this one is very strange, because it is covered with white tape, and the method is very bad, like a mummy covered with bandages.

Next to it sits a cerebrum working on how to fix a statue, its forehead covered in big bumps, and it's more silent than ever.

Hanak Hank thought it was dead, so he kicked the cerebrate lightly, and the cerebrate immediately clamped down on his boot.

"...Leave that cerebrum alone, Hank."

Augustus the Great is seated on the throne, his head propped on one hand, while Queen Sarah sits sideways on his right leg.
