StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Noon on August 8th.

About a week ago, the cold wave originating from the Permafrost Ocean passed through the Thorny Plains where Howe Fortress is located and headed south. The temperature dropped sharply, the rivers froze, and there was heavy wind and snow. Howe Fortress has not seen the sun for days, and its Victorian peaked windows are always covered with a layer of ice.

But this day changed from the previous haze and the weather was sunny. The sun of the Turasis galaxy is like a yellowish ball of light in the sky, with warm sunlight.

On the landing platform of Fortress Howe, hundreds of aircrew and ground crew members were running in all directions at the same time. One after another, the Avengers took off, screaming through the air and engines as they passed through the clouds and sank into them.

The soldiers of the third platoon of the first company lined up on the right side of an APOD-34 atmospheric transport aircraft. Their silver-gray CMC-250/EX power armor had a mercury-like luster in the sunlight.

Augustus stood in front of the line, facing his men, proud of the orderly line and the silence that awaited them. His platoon was the most elite unit in the fortress.

"It is now twelve o'clock sharp. In ten minutes, we will board the plane and set off to check your weapons again..." Augustus said.

"Hey, Sergeant Mengsk, look here!" A discordant voice interrupted Augustus, but even though he was very dissatisfied, he still looked in that direction.

Two cameras were pointed at Augustus. At least ten members of the UNN documentary crew were carrying stands to move the camera position and adjust the angle. A microphone fixed on a long pole was placed in front of him.

"I am frontline reporter Max Pierce, announcer for UNN Radio. I am reporting for you from Howe Fortress in Turasis." A man in white power armor staggered to Augustus in front, awkwardly holding his shoulders and pointing at the camera.

"This is Staff Sergeant Augustus Mengsk, an elite role model in the Marine Corps. His wisdom and conduct are worthy of the title of a hero."

This frontline reporter has a clean and tidy face, a mustache on his upper lip, and a bright smile: "Sergeant Mengsk, the expression you have now is very good. Soldiers should be so serious and cold. That's great, you He looks as if he's about to snap the heads of a hundred Camorians right now."

"This is not a live broadcast, Peggy. Remember to cut this part. The background music should be "The Eternal Glory of the Federation"."

"You are about to carry out a great and glorious mission - to rescue the unfortunately captured federal soldiers. Sergeant Mengsk, what do you have to say about this?" The reporter took out a piece of manuscript paper from nowhere: "Follow this. Just read it and it’ll be fine.”

"Tychus!" Augustus raised his eyebrows.

"What?" The reporter was at a loss: "Oh - you don't have to say it that way, just open your mouth and we will re-synthesize a speech..."

Before the frontline reporter finished speaking, a huge shadow enveloped him. Immediately afterwards, a huge hand stretched out from above the reporter's head and grasped the helmet. A strong force knocked him to the ground. Tychus Finley pulled his helmet away from Augustus. .

"We're going to beat up the Camorians right away, crush their butts and drive them back to the mud pits of Moria." Tychus said while dragging the horrified frontline reporters: "My boss is a little uncomfortable right now. I’m so happy, now I have to ask you to get out.”

"If you weren't wearing a suit of iron armor, I would have picked up the collar on the back of your neck like a chicken, kicked your butt and thrown you out."

A group of photographers and uniformed men followed the frontline reporter who was dragged along, but no one dared to pull him back from Tychus's grasp. Amidst the scraping sounds of the power armor and the ground, the bewildered reporter was dragged several hundred yards away.

"Before we complete the mission, if you run up to Sergeant Mengsk again and jump around like a monkey, I will chain you to the landing gear of the transport plane. Do you understand?" Tychus's The sound is smooth and powerful.

Seeing Max nod, Tychus turned and walked towards his platoon. At this time, Tychus suddenly began to think about a question, and that was why Augustus just shouted and he stood up immediately.

This isn't quite right.

In the past, Tychus, without exception, thought his commanders were a bunch of idiots. But Augustus was different. He was almost a natural leader, brave, wise, and very independent.

Augustus's men loved him and followed his back as if chasing light. Even Tychus had to admit that Augustus had many qualities that even a villain like him admired.

This is a good thing, maybe Augustus will become a hero, or even a general, and of course his old subordinates will also be promoted. The most important thing is that the Mengsk family is very rich.

Tychus tried to convince himself that he only obeyed Augustus because of his rank and greed for the Mengsk family wealth.

"Form up and board," Augustus ordered after Tychus returned to the ranks.

Augustus was having a headache because of the UNN reporter. Hobas was right, UNN was indeed preparing to interview him. Part of this was due to Augustus' repeated military exploits, but more of it was due to political considerations.

Although Senator Angus Mengsk, well-regarded among Korhal's populace, was a reactionary who caused headaches for the federal government, his son was a Marine combat hero. He is loyal to the Federation and will certainly fight any separatist forces to the end.

Since arriving at Fortress Howe last weekend, frontline reporter Max Pierce has followed Augustus like a follower, saying he wants to shoot a documentary depicting the frontline and heroes. Marx said that a large number of authors hired by the UNN were preparing to write books and biographies based on Augustus, but Augustus could only perfunctoryly say that it was too early.

When the transport ship's engine had started to start, and when Augustus looked at the troops that made him feel truly proud, this matter was quickly forgotten by him.

The leader is Jim Raynor, the squad leader of the first squad. He and the Marines behind him were once just recruits in boot camp, like an unbeaten raw material. But now, the war is gradually shaping them into shape. Whether it is a sharp sword or a heavy hammer, it all depends on their own circumstances and abilities.

The newest medic, Lisa Cassidy, who was incorporated into the third platoon, walked at the end. There was a red cross on each of the shoulder pads of her silver-gray power armor.

By perusing the medic's resume, Augustus learned that Lisa had served much longer than he had imagined. Long before the Battle of Kailian began, Lisa, a graduate of Tarsonis University, was already an experienced field medic.

Other records are much more shocking. In a canyon encounter, Lisa was injected with an overdose of adrenaline or drugs. In a state of extreme excitement, she slapped the Kaimorian Sky Wolf to death with just one slap. s face.

Augustus was still observing the medical soldier's condition. Lisa Kesidi's stimulant addiction symptoms were much more serious than he thought. The withdrawal reaction of drug withdrawal made her often listless and listless.

In the original timeline, the Heavenly Demon Team was destroyed because of Lisa's betrayal. Because a person with a deep drug addiction cannot control himself at all during an attack, and the enemy takes advantage of this.

Augustus still recognized Lisa's talent, which was why he was willing to save her. But if this person is ultimately confirmed to be hopeless, then we can only ask her to get out.

At present, Augustus has cut off Lisa's supply of stimulants and banned her from leaving the fortress. He must do this, otherwise no one can guarantee whether she will tear open the mouths of his own people next time. Despite this, he still felt that such a method was too mild.

Seeing Augustus looking at her, Lisa lowered her helmet, smiled gently at him, and blinked her big light blue eyes.

Lisa is a very smart woman—much smarter than she lets on. This beautiful woman is trying to curry favor with Augustus in the hope that he will allow her to obtain drugs from other sources.

Augustus knew this very well.
