StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 98 The Wish of Augustus

Lieutenant Colonel Warfield's flagship Iron Justice, on the interior corridor from the crew compartment to the midspine deck, January 2489, 1.

For Augustus, who was worried about the fate of Korha IV, he had no way to communicate with the Korha Revolutionary Army, which was light-years away, on a battlecruiser where all signals might be intercepted and monitored.

Fortunately, Augustus didn't have to stay in the army for too long.Warfield promised Augustus that within two weeks at the latest, he would be able to slap his ass and leave as he wished, and bluntly said that this was the same as Arcturus's style of retiring before the victory of the war.

Augustus, Reynolds, Harnack, and Rick Kidd, the best sniper of the Demons of Heaven, were walking to the ship's bar in brown tweed uniforms. Clothes are very different in terms of material and color.

Neither side gave each other any good looks, but due to the stricter soldier regulations in the ship, they would not fight like before after drinking a little wine.

Compared with the Marine Corps and Planetary Surface Army, the proportion of resocialized soldiers in fleet soldiers is much higher.If before being reformed, these resocialized soldiers were devil-like criminals, but after undergoing internal surgical reform, they became docile sheep, law-abiding, upright and pure.

The combative Harnack found it difficult to irritate these resocialized soldiers, even though the opponents also showed expressions including confusion and anger, their restraint was quite amazing.

The Marine Corps is different from the fleet soldiers stationed inside the battleship. They don't stay inside the battleship for too long, and they mostly use the spare ships in the fleet to perform combat missions.

During the Battle of Kailian, it happened more than once that the battlecruiser kicked off the temporary marines on the battleship when performing emergency missions, leaving the fourth-class Ma Run to stay on a planet or small Some hapless squads were "forgotten" forever as they waited for the next flight on the planet.

After Augustus greeted several smiling resocialized soldiers, they walked into the small and simple bar of the Iron Justice, ordered a few glasses of beer and fried chicken to kill the boring and long day.

This was the third day after Augustus returned to Meinhof New Apollo, and a government official from Tarsonis took over the New Apollo mine with a group of civilian staff.The Demons of Heaven have returned to their fleet in planetary synchronous orbit, ready for their next mission.

This means that the days of the Demons of Heaven reselling Ardian crystals for extra income at the mines are over, however, when Augustus received it from Tychus for a month to sell the crystals When paying for goods, even if it is a quarter of the total amount, there are nearly 8000 million credit coins.

While the rest of the Heavenly Devils got half of it, Tychus Finlay got a quarter for his contacts and work he didn't sleep.Even so, Renault and others have become rich people. They no longer worry about money, but they also keep in mind who gave them everything.

This amount of money is enough for Augustus to become a rich man. If he were an ordinary person, he might choose to spend 300 million to 500 million to buy a private interstellar yacht and fly to Tyrador VIII.

Augustus would then pay for a construction crew to build a beautiful estate in the warm and charming near-equatorial rainforest above, marry a tender wife, have a couple of kids, and start a football team.

It’s just that Augustus knew that even if he really did that, such a happy life in the Koprulu sector, where the war was about to start, would not last long.Federation, Zerg, Protoss, UED, who can guarantee that the planet where Augustus lives will not suddenly become a scorched silicon crystal or a hotbed covered with creeps and nourishing alien freaks.

If he wants to live a stable life, Augustus must eliminate all threats to mankind and establish a unified regime——

As far as Augustus's revolutionary cause was concerned, this was only a small amount of money, which could only arm a small army, and it was only drizzled on the fleet.

Augustus's time in the army is running out, and there are still a few places on his itinerary, in addition to Tarsonis, and Raynor's hometown of Shiloh.While making arrangements for Renault's family, Augustus is also planning to visit Omo's family, because he heard that Omo is the only child in the family.

At this time, Renault's parents were still alive, but by 2499, when the StarCraft I plot began, he was already alone.Augustus didn't know what happened to Renault's parents. They were still young, and the truth might be closer to starvation and disease.

For Augustus at this time, since he has the ability to prevent all this from happening, he doesn't mind spending time and energy to help his friend Reynolds.

"It seems that my parents didn't use the money I gave them." Renault sighed as usual today, very frustrated.

"The last time I made a video call with my dad, I found that he became thinner than before. First, the bonus, then the batch of arms we sold last time and the money we got from selling crystals in New Apollon, a total of three times, They must have spent nothing."

"They certainly didn't use that 'unknown' money to buy at least some food," he said.

"Your father and mother are queer, Jim. They're starving, and who cares if the money comes from nowhere," Harnack said.

"My parents taught me when I was very young that a person should use his hard-earned money to support himself. Getting something for nothing is ill-gotten wealth." Renault said dejectedly: "I should have known earlier, halfway through The reason for picking up money is simply untenable."

"Hell, how can you listen to the idiot Harnack." Rick Kidd said angrily.

"Jim must have been drunk when he sent the money." Augustus shook his head: "Remember what I told you? Someone in Tarsonis is going to invite me to an old lady's birthday party. Above I must have received some notice and directly approved me a two-week vacation."

"It is estimated that before I go to Tarsonis, they will not let me retire easily." Augustus said: "I told Warfield that I would take a squad of Heavenly Demons to Tarsonis , and he agreed."

"It takes half a sector to go from Meinhof to Tarsonis, and we can spend a day in Shiloh," he said.

"Shiloh is not a good place. They can move to Keha or Umoyan, and I'll get them a job."

"No, Keha can't go." Renault immediately shook his head and vetoed.

"You know it's going to be the epicenter of the war."
