StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

According to the scheduled combat deployment, Augustus's Heavenly Demons special tactics platoon hid the spacecraft and headed to the assembly point in the mission briefing on foot, leaving the two Heavenly Demons and the pilot Jack to guard the spacecraft.

The hemisphere of Meinhof is as desolate as the moon, with strong winds mixed with sand and gravel eroding rocks with severe weathering marks on the surface.

At this latitude, the changes in the seasons are not obvious. The nights are dry and cold, and fragile skin tends to dry out and crack. When the sun rises, the temperature rises too high and too fast, so the houses here emphasize airtight insulation.

The original modular prefabricated building was soon replaced by Meinhof's characteristic stone construction.

Unobstructed vast plains that can be seen to the end at a glance are not common here. High mountains, low hills and relatively small highlands, as well as the depressions and valleys between them, form the main part of this area. landforms.

The CMC-300 powered armor that the Augustus troops replaced half a month ago can easily cope with this complex terrain. The altitude, temperature, air pressure and other data on the HUD display on the helmet visor are constantly beating. Green dots on a slowly rotating three-dimensional terrain map represent friendly forces that have landed.

The black and gray armor of the Heaven Demon is a very good protective color on the Meinhof. It is difficult for the Kemorian fighters in the sky to notice the small forces moving thousands of feet below.

Augustus was not the first to arrive at the assembly point; a resocialization platoon was already waiting there.

It would be foolish to swarm together in a fight against the Kaimorion, when warplanes and missiles could destroy a large massed army with precision from miles away. After a brief exchange with the commander of the resocialization troops, Augustus distanced himself and ordered his men to spread out and crawl among the depressions and rocks.

Warfield, who had been fighting side by side with the devil in heaven, did not disembark and go to the front lines in person. His overall responsibility required him to remain on board.

Since the commander of the 33rd Ground Assault Division and many senior officers suddenly retired before the start of this battle, a group of officers like Warfield, who fought bravely and achieved military merit, were continuously promoted within a month.

Now he is a lieutenant colonel and serves as the deputy captain of the battlecruiser Iron Justice. He has a newly built Marine brigade under his command. The soldiers are mainly from edge worlds such as Antiga Prime and the Sara System.

——In mid-October 2488, it became clear that the outcome of the War of Kaimorians was that the Kaimorians had lost control of their once huge and arrogant mining empire, and the Terran Federation was winning the war.

The campaigns launched by the Kemorian on many planets failed. These battles, which lasted for several years, all ended with the victory of the Terran Federation forces.

A large number of Kaimorian's troops were organized and annihilated, and the remaining troops retreated to the core territory of the Commonwealth. The Tyranid Federation has recovered almost all the lost land, and the subsequent fierce counterattack has erased the last remaining dignity of the union government. Several planets with a population of more than one million have been destroyed by nuclear bombs, and more marginal mining planets have fallen.

Although the sudden retirement of a group of senior officers at this time is indeed very surprising, there are many people who are overjoyed. Some officers who are from aristocratic backgrounds but showed extreme incompetence in the war are gloating out of jealousy, while others are thinking about whether You should take this opportunity to make up more meritorious deeds to share the extra cake.

After a series of reviews by the Federal Central Security Agency, the Federal Intelligence Agency headquarters, and the Tarsonis secret police, Arcturus and his followers retired smoothly without too many twists and turns.

Augustus speculated that the application of a number of technologies, such as the full deployment of CMC-250 and CMC-300 power armor, the large-scale production and service of Wraith fighter aircraft, a new round of transformation and invincibility of arc-light main battle tanks, The entire brigade of resocialized soldiers who were afraid of death was an important reason for the defeat of Kemorion.

The main reason is the difference in size. The Tyranid Federation has far more colonies and population than the Kemorian Federation, and it is at an advantage both economically and militarily. If it hadn't been for the early days of the war, the old aristocratic officer class of the Federation, which had never experienced a war, was caught off guard by the strong and decisive offensive of Camorion. In addition, most of the Camorians were brave and good at fighting, and the battle of Kaimorian should not have been so long. Long.

When another company of the 33rd Ground Assault Division arrived, Augustus went with them to a Kemerian Industrial Park that the fleet command had preset to capture.

They climbed up to a high ground in front of the assembly point and ran about a mile south. A huge cluster of industrial buildings and towering furnaces built against the mountain suddenly appeared in Augustus' eyes.

Different from residential buildings, the factory buildings in Kemorian are mostly geometric buildings with simple lines, rectangular industrial factories and cylindrical condensation towers made of cold gray steel plates. Geometric buildings of different heights are stacked on the hillside, and the outermost wall is covered with electrified barbed wire.

Large pieces of crystal mined from nearby mines will be transported to the industrial area via mine rails. After cutting, the Adien crystal will finally be loaded onto trucks and transported to the ground launch port in Meinhof.

Before these three forces launched the attack, the Terran Federation's bomber formations had destroyed the few bunkers and defensive facilities in the industrial complex. According to the intelligence, there are no Camorian defenders here, and the workers must have been evacuated in advance. Therefore, Augustus and others only need to occupy an uncontrolled factory.

It sounds simple, but based on past experience, all commanders at the platoon level and above believed that they would definitely encounter resistance. After discussing with several other lieutenants, Augustus decided to abandon the original battle plan, bypass the main entrance of the industrial park, and instead directly blow up the wall to attack from the other two directions.

Augustus's Demons of Paradise launched an attack from the south. After Zander used explosives to blow down a section of the wall, the first squadron broke in as the vanguard. But it turned out that the intelligence this time was quite reliable. Not only were there no resistance troops, there were no human beings inside.

Before disembarking, they heard that the Camorians would fight to the death when their homeland was invaded, and it often happened that an entire family of men died in battle. But now they have given up the entire industrial park.

"Are these prairie dogs who only hide in potholes and pull crystals scared?" Josephine said with disdain, standing next to a centrifuge room.

"I'm afraid. Things are more complicated than you think." Renault pointed to the wall behind him.

Josephine turned around and saw a holographic projection screen on the wall that was playing a certain video on repeat. The video has no sound, only a scrolling subtitle:

After discussions between the Workers' Federation of Moria and the independent government, they unanimously decided to agree to the comprehensive ceasefire agreement of the Tyranids that will take effect at 8 a.m. on October 30. This will be the first ceasefire agreement since 2485. The agreement will last for one standard Earth month, all

"Damn it, it seems I said it too early, we can go home next month!" Renault shook his head.

"The war is over?" Tychus was disappointed as his chances of making a fortune were greatly reduced.

"Cheer up, Tychus." Augustus said, looking at the sparkling Adeen crystals inside the factory that had not yet been transported away.

"We are now an occupying force."
