StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 699 Crazy
During his tenure as the deputy captain of the Fury in the Northern Fleet of the Empire, Colonel Roberto Lamas (Roberto Lamas) always pointed out the omissions in the work of his colleagues and subordinates mercilessly because of his strong personality, and asked him to immediately A correction unpopular with many, but no one can deny his eminence in matters of warship management.

And since Roberto was transferred to build the new Minotaur battleship Mobius Ring after 2502 and officially served as the captain of the ship, his excellent judgment and amazing courage made him in August His superiors in the Admiralty of Geller confirmed that this was a wonderful appointment, and that he was distinguished and of good character.

The Ring of Moebius is a fully designed new warship equipped with a shield force field, a missile launch chamber and a "Y" Yamato cannon. It is equipped with a nuclear arsenal to launch a planet-level extermination war.There are thousands of warships like this that the empire has completed and launched into service.

From the Keha Uprising to the establishment of the Tyrannian Empire, from the enthronement of Augustus the Great to the expansion of the empire for eight consecutive years.

The span of more than ten years has tempered a large number of high-quality officers and soldiers for the empire, and many excellent commanders have also been selected from previous large-scale all-out wars.And before that, they may have been nothing more than farmers and miners in a remote place.

Although many of the troops of the Tyrann Empire were well-known figures in the old federal era, most of them were the new generation of generals who grew up slowly. Like Jim Raynor, who grew up there, Roberto was as unknown.

In the era of the Tyrannian Empire created by Emperor Augustus, the dangers faced by human beings are far greater than ever before, but for capable people, this also means more opportunities.

At present, the Tyrann Empire needs more warships and warriors to deal with threats from protoss, zerg and even more terrifying enemies.This means that those who appear to be inexperienced because they are too young can also be promoted exceptionally.

After the end of the Second Total War, the Ring of Mobius was assigned to the Mobius Legion under construction, and the name of the ship was also determined at that time.The Ring of Moebius is considered to be an infinite cycle and a symbol of endlessness. Its existence is both extremely miraculous and implies the fear that those caught in it will never be able to step out of the endless cycle.

During its service, the Ring of Mobis shuttled among the remote and dangerous star fields on the edge of the Koprulu star sector, and after a lot of tempering, it is capable of any job assigned by Keha Augustegler.

Roberto Lamas and his admirals, like all Imperial warriors who fought for Emperor Augustus, were proud of their majestic warships and believed they were doing something unparalleled The great cause of defending the people of the Tyranid Empire from internal rebels and alien forces.

as always.

At this moment, under the orders of Roberto Lamas, the Ring of Moebius is once again ready for battle.

Today, before the Ring of Mobius escaped from the hyperspace transition state as scheduled, Roberto still inspected his battleship as usual.

Walking through the criss-crossing aisles of the battleship, Roberto passed through several airlock doors in turn, and inspected the cabin behind the turret deck of the ring of Moebius's laser gun group, the ammunition depot, and the engine room on the bottom deck. .

At every moment, Roberto felt a heavy responsibility. Since he was appointed as the captain of the Ring of Moebius, it meant that Emperor Augustus entrusted this outstanding warship to his hands.

A captain is the head of a ship, and Imperial Navy regulations dictate that he must do his utmost to lead his ship into battle, and personally inspire his junior officers and soldiers to join the battle bravely.As long as he gave an order, the huge weapon system of a battlecruiser and the many officers and soldiers serving him would respond immediately.

The deputy captain's more responsibility is to manage all aspects of the battleship, ensuring that she can be handed over to the captain in the best condition under any form of wartime.

Roberto could clearly feel that the Moebius Ring was deserted. This was because the number of crew members on this battleship was less than half of the required number, and many positions, such as engineers, ordnance technicians, and engine technicians, were even fewer than before. much.

This made the interior of the Möbis Loop seem unmaintained, dirty and disorganized both inside and out, with dried blood and other inexplicable stains on the deck's paintwork.There are a large number of weapon boxes and parts boxes piled up in a mess in the armory, but only a few people are sorting them out.

A gust of cold wind blew through the rows of soldiers' rest cabins on the lower floor, which were covered with triple-layered boards, making Roberto instinctively feel a chill that went straight to the sky.

At some point, Roberto was on the verge of a fit of rage. His eyes were sharp enough to count every speck of dust that fell on the dial, and he could spot a careless and unkempt sailor at a glance.An efficient warship should be ready to mobilize at any time and immediately join the battle. She should be an elegant lady, not a drunken alcoholic.

How could Roberto allow such a serious problem with his battleship.

However, Roberto's anger was fleeting.

Because this scene is normal and there is nothing wrong with it.

In general, there is a shortage of people everywhere on the Moebius Ring, and in some systems, one person has to take on several roles, but Roberto still has enough confidence in this battleship.Even if the number of crew members is insufficient, the crew under Roberto's command still maintain the normal operation of the warship with ten times the work enthusiasm before, just like the parts that never stop.

Large-scale non-combat attrition rarely occurs in a huge battlecruiser, unless they encounter terrible infectious diseases or unknown disasters among the stars.

Although Roberto and his crew couldn't figure out what happened on the Moebius Ring, it was obviously just a small thing that was not worth worrying about.

Even in this case, the Ring of Moebius will continue its duties.

When Roberto approached the engine room, a smell of blood came over his face, making him frown slightly.

Rows of corpses were neatly stacked on the rear deck of the Ring of Moebius, like firewood bundled and piled high, as if a fire could be ignited.

The death conditions of these corpses are very miserable and chilling. Almost none of them are complete, either beyond recognition or broken.Something had skinned them so that muscles, tendons, and blood vessels were clearly visible. Blood flowed from under these corpses, converging on the cold floor into a strange pattern with many limbs and slender bodies.

The scene in front of me looks like a place where a cult sacrifices life and blood to the evil god. The sacrifices are hundreds of crew members of the Ring of Moebius.

Many twisted words were written in blood on the floor, ceiling and walls:
"Send them to hell."

"We shall be born again in blood and fire."

"All will adore or be silent."

"."

The whereabouts of those missing crew members has been answered, and most of them died by suicide rather than internal armed conflict.

Roberto frowned, but he didn't think there was anything wrong. If someone told him that the engine room didn't accumulate so many corpses, it would be abnormal.

Apart from him, there is no living person here.

"." Roberto looked away from the miserable corpses, and turned to the door of the engine room.

Suddenly, a gigantic monster with a ferocious face was standing there, staring at Roberto coldly with those extremely deep and extremely dark eyes.It has the characteristics of both protoss and zerg. It is tall and burly, its head is covered with an armor-like carapace crown, and it has the aura of a ruler. It has a strange and unique image.

In those dark eyes, Roberto seemed to see his blue and white face like a ghost, but his own skin became transparent and thin, and he could see the thin and dense blood vessels underneath.

As he gazed at the monster, Roberto felt a violent headache, as if a voice inside him was growling to make him draw his pistol and shoot at the monster, to defy the cruel tyrant.

But Roberto couldn't do it.

Roberto had resisted the will of the monster, but he had both overestimated himself and missed his chance to kill himself at the last moment.

Just like the rest of the crew on the Ring of Moebius.

They shouldn't have brought that evil alien relic aboard the ship.

However, Roberto now has no regrets.He bowed his head towards the monster, passed it by, walked out of the engine room, and continued his work of inspecting the battleship.

In the various cabins of the Ring of Mobius, those who are still alive still live and work as before, and even have normal conversations.In their cognition, they are still loyal to the Tyrannian Empire, so in the initial stage of degeneration, the Imperial Navy Headquarters could not even find the mutation on this battleship.

"I will obey," he said.

Today, the Ring of Mobius will continue to fight as always to complete her mission. For this, they are willing to destroy everyone, including themselves.

This moment is coming soon.

An hour later, Roberto returned to the bridge of the Moebius Ring again, and at this time the huge warship had completed its transition.Not only this battleship, but also more than a dozen battleships of the Moebius Legion with some weird black symbols around it.

Under the highlight of the cosmic starlight, these battlecruisers lined up behind the Ring of Moebius shone with a cool, iron-black light, setting off these shockingly huge starships.

Below the Ring of Moebius is a pure green planet without any natural satellites.

J'larre.

This is a jungle planet with a peaceful climate, and there are few extreme weather and terrible natural disasters. Compared with Char, where terrible lava flows from the sky and the ground, Jela is simply a paradise for human survival and development.

Among the many worlds of the Tyrannian Empire, such a paradise on earth is rare, and the only ones that can be compared with it are probably only planets like Agria and Haven.

The fertile land of Gera can easily support the colonists from all over the Tyrannian Empire, and its stable continental plate also has a large amount of crystal ore and gas resources, which is enough to support its development.

Soon, within ten years of the world, Gera quickly emerged as an important fulcrum world for the Tyrann Empire's outward expansion.Now, this fertile world has a population of more than 500 million people, and the largest city, Maya, is the commercial and cultural center of seven nearby colonized galaxies.

In the plan of Emperor Augustus, Gera will become an important core world of the Tyrannian Empire in the future, serving as the fulcrum for the empire to continue to expand to the center of the galaxy.

Most of its population comes from colonization, but due to the advancement of food production technology and medical technology and the opening of cloning technology in recent years, the population growth rate of Gela is exploding like many emerging empire worlds that are undergoing rapid development.

This planet is still as quiet as before, without any signs of being infected by Zerg or invaded by Protoss, and there is no large-scale interstellar pirate fleet in this area.In fact, ever since Emperor Augustus vigorously eradicated the pirate forces in the Koprulu sector, even on the edge of the galaxy, the rampant pirates in the past have been difficult to achieve.

If it was before, Roberto would never have imagined what they were doing to this important world of the Tyrann Empire.

Because it was recognized by Gera's space defense platform as its own force, the Mobis Legion fleet with the Mobis Ring as its flagship quickly occupied the high-altitude orbit of the planet with little effort.

Immediately afterwards, these battleships of the Mobius Legion dropped orbital strikes on the main settlement of Gera. Flames fell from the sky, and a burst of fire quickly engulfed the cities and continuous fields on the surface of Gera like a wind. The burning sky Scream in the tear of the hurricane.

After this, the Moebius Legion fleet dropped a large number of drop pods to those town coordinates that survived because they were outside the main settlements, in order to wipe out all life on the planet.

After entering the atmosphere, these airdrop pods scattered like fire and rain are making devil-like screams.

Roberto knew that there should have been an imperial fleet stationed here, and even if there wasn't, once the world was attacked, the surrounding fleets would come immediately.

Considering that the Juggernaut Swarm, the Golden Fleet, the Mobis Legion, and the Tadarin Fleet are invading the Koprulu sector from all directions, the limited imperial fleet is really out of its wits.However, Emperor Augustus' plan to build a large warship proved to be an absolutely wise choice. Even if Amon took away part of the Moebius Legion fleet, he still had a fleet.

They will soon be surrounded, and the angry Imperial fleet will not hesitate to crush the rebels.

But Roberto doesn't care because his master doesn't.

However, Roberto's eyes became moist when he saw Gela melt into the flames and millions of people died.

Roberto still remembers this planet called Gela, and the warm wind and rain there.

Because that is his hometown.

When he was a child, Roberto was very afraid of the dark starry sky, thinking that those shining stars were just pairs of scary and strange eyes.As for why he became the captain of an interstellar battleship, it is really a trick of fate.

At that time, the main Mayan city was just a small town built by the colonists with scraps of materials, and Roberto lived with his parents in a modified rudimentary caravan.At first their life was very difficult, and they even had to receive relief from the imperial government, but Roberto remembered that his childhood was still very happy, because his parents gave him selfless love.

One year, a Tyrannian warship docked here, and for the first time, Roberto saw a well-dressed and decorated imperial general...

what are we doing
Why is this happening?

Like Roberto, someone on the Moebius Circle started tearing up.

At this moment, someone noticed the frantically jumping signal of the Tyrannian Empire warship on the radar scanning chart, but they behaved extremely calmly.

In the turbulent space fluctuations, the first to jump out was the flagship Huberian of the Imperial Marshal Jim Raynor and the Gorgon-class battlecruiser Judgment Day, followed by the Solar Storm and Absolute Dominion
With thunder and fury, the Gorgon battlecruiser Stormcaller opened fire on a Mobis Minotaur battleship to the left of the Mobis Ring, and the flames instantly engulfed the entire deck.
