StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Garden, Villa Pasteur.

There are more than a thousand species of alien plants planted in the garden of Villa Pasteur. It is a beautiful world with birds singing and flowers fragrant, the air is fresh and the environment is beautiful. The average lifespan of Umoyan is much higher than that of Tyranids and Kaimorians, which is due to the overall protection of the environment and advanced medical technology.

During the few days Augustus stayed at Villa Pasteur, he increasingly felt the positive impact of Umoyan's beautiful environment on people's physical, mental and health.

Compared with Tarsonis or Korhal IV, Umoyan was not a garden world suitable for human habitation at the beginning. Extreme bad weather invaded human homes from time to time, making the planet's land resources extremely scarce. This has been significantly improved with the advancement of technology and breakthroughs in anti-gravity technology.

"I'm sorry, uncle." Valerian, who was only seven years old, gasped, with sweat on his forehead. He was wearing a white training suit with a black belt around his waist, holding a handful in his trembling hands. A small wooden sword.

At this time, Valerian was very thin. He was so slender that he could be called skinny. He didn't have much muscle in his hands and legs. He looked as delicate as a little girl. Valerian's skin was as fair and tender as tofu in water or condensed milk, and his already feminine face turned red due to strenuous exercise.

Augustus saw his own shadow in Valerian, not his father Arcturus who had been good at jumping and chasing the butler around since he was a child.

"Grasp your sword again, Xiaowa. This is your own choice. If you are determined to follow in the footsteps of your fathers, then you must build a strong body before doing so." Augustus called his nephew's nickname, Catherine sometimes called Augustus by his nickname.

"When you come of age, the Koprulu sector will usher in the most chaotic period in countless eras. You will fight against the enemies of humanity. You will travel between galaxies. You will fight side by side with your friends. You will Die for what you love and for those who love you.”

"What should I do?" Valerian held the wooden sword in his hand tightly and looked into his uncle's cold gray eyes that were almost identical to his own.

Valerian adored the man.

His biological uncle, Augustus Mengsk, was a soldier, a brave and selfless warrior with ideals beyond all the stars Valerian had ever seen in the night sky.

Augustus lets Valerian make his own choice, whether to continue living carefree under his mother's wings or to work hard for his dreams. It would have been impatient and even irresponsible for a child of such a young age to make decisions about his life's destiny, but Augustus was convinced that his nephew was special.

Exploring the starry sky is far less romantic than in the anthology of starry sky poetry. Whether it is the harsh natural environment of alien planets, wild beasts, or terrifying and dangerous cosmic anomalies, an exploration fleet may become a metal wreckage floating in the universe.

Adventurers need both a smart mind and the skills to fight unknown enemies and dangers. Reality made Valerian understand that he just had to always protect his abilities.

Valerian liked and was fascinated by the mysterious knowledge of aliens, and his uncle told him that sometimes alien ruins and valuable knowledge must be snatched or defended by force. The real starry sky is cruel, but human beings who are content in a corner just happen to live in a comfortable garden world.

A true adventurer is both a knowledgeable scholar and a brave warrior.

"Do I want to kill those aliens?" Valerian knew that his uncle was one of the few people who truly believed in the existence of aliens.

In the past, due to his mother's education, Valerian did not even know the meaning of death or war. He only read books on history, geography and literature, and believed that the starry sky was a beautiful, pure and fantasy world.

"We will take the world with war, but remember that the means to the end is not just war." Augustus said: "Use your wisdom and cunning, make alliances with friends, and fight to the death with your enemies."

As Augustus spoke, he swung the wooden sword in his hand towards Valerian. The sword in the latter's hand turned dexterously with his wrist and blocked the blow in a horizontal position, but the powerful force still hit him. Valerian, who fell to the ground with his face flushed, suddenly looked ashamed.

"You have done a good job." Augustus put down the sword in his hand, helped Valerian up, and comforted him: "You are very sensitive and can quickly master the skills of swordsmanship, just like yours." Like dad, you have great talent. Now all you need is a strong body."

"But I couldn't do anything well." Valerian said: "I couldn't even hold the wooden sword steady at first. I couldn't run fast. I was out of breath after just a short distance. I was too like a girl, and other people were attracted by it. Look down on me because I like to read, and others think I’m a nerd who just reads.”

"No, you are very good." At this time, Augustus picked up Valerian and put it on his shoulders - Valerian was very light, so Augustus could still hold him like a hug at this time. Picking him up like a baby: "As long as you are serious, you can do well in everything."

"If you can't hold your sword or swing it powerfully, swing it ten thousand times. If you run every day, you will get faster and faster. Reading is to enrich your knowledge, Improve your wisdom," Augustus said gently.

"If anyone calls you a sissy or a girl, knock them all down."

"Oh, but this is too rude. Grandma and mother don't like me fighting with others." Valerian nodded in understanding.

"What if it was my father who said that?"

"." Augustus was walking in the garden with Valerian on his back, and suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought: "Maybe you are not his opponent yet, but you can wait until you grow up, until one day you can defeat him. "

"Oh" In just a few days, Augustus had become Valerian's idol.

This sometimes harsh and sometimes gentle elder almost matched little Valerian's best imagination of his father. Augustus had high demands on Valerian, but he never forced him to do things he didn't like.

Augustus was so patient that he would even stay by Valerian's side and play childish games with him, leading him through Umoyan's beautiful countryside and pastures with livestock, staying with him all day long. .

This period was Valerian's happiest time, and he truly loved his uncle.

Valerian didn't even look forward to seeing his father.

The uncle and nephew were talking and walking in the garden until noon. Just as they were about to return to Pasteur's mansion for dinner, a Umoyan Protector stationed here found Augustus.

The words of the Umoyan soldier wearing white power armor, with light blue light emitting from the joints of the armor plates and the helmet, made Augustus ecstatic:

A Tyranid Federation Behemoth-class battlecruiser has just crashed on a hot planet close to Umoyan due to a navigation system failure. The Protectorate Army is deploying ships to that planet.

This is great news, as neither Korhal nor Umoyan currently have the complete technology to build a battlecruiser.
