StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Outside the porthole is a gorgeous scene of light and darkness, with the Norad II's air and ground laser cannons and the electromagnetic cannon on the bow maintaining full firepower.

The naval guns poured out death barrages composed of orange-red laser beams at the giant shipyards and foundries surrounding the ship and a few miles below. The electromagnetically accelerated kinetic energy shells triggered shocking explosions one after another.

Amidst the roar of the artillery batteries, nothing made any difference. Whether it is the automatic defense cannon made of fine steel or the federal soldiers trying to use the Gauss rifles and rocket launchers in their hands to shoot down a federal flagship, whether they are steel and iron or mortal flesh, they are all under the attack of laser weapons. Melt and burn.

The inner ring dock space of the Dalarian Orbital Shipyard is open, like a giant cave made of steel frames and alloy decks. Each tunnel entrance on the spherical wall leads to a large dock or a docking port for battleships. Each entrance There are signal lights to guide them, and they look like the entrances to nests of densely packed but regularly spaced nests of cave birds.

From time to time, one aircraft accelerated past the Norad II and headed into the distance. The fighter planes of the Korhal Revolutionary Army fleet and the federal fighter planes chased each other inside the orbital shipyard, like dancing blades.

Bright light spots are accompanied by the roar of violent explosions. Huge light spots and dark brown scratches can also be clearly seen on the spherical inner wall of the orbital shipyard with a dark gray coating.

"Lieutenant Colonel Renault has occupied the main facilities of Port B, and our navigators have taken over six Behemoth-class battlecruisers," Augustus' Umoyan military adviser reported.

"Colonel Warfield's Iron Justice was intercepted by a fleet of Federal Wraith fighter jets." The consultant spoke very fast but was able to ensure that others clearly understood every word and sentence he said: "But his men We have forcibly landed at the D-port dock, and the progress is going smoothly. The garrison in the Dalarian Orbital Shipyard is vulnerable."

"Tell the commanders to fight quickly. Seize as many available warships as possible, and the rest, even the ships that have just left the factory, must be destroyed immediately." Augustus ordered.

"Before this, wanton destruction, wanton plundering. Do not leave any usable weapons to our enemies, otherwise the Federation will use them on your relatives!" He said: "Remember my order, if not necessary Opening fire on workers and civilians will not be allowed."

Augustus's voice was always so calm. In the past, you could hear some emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy in his words, but now the subordinates around him could only feel the same emotion contained in his words-firmness. Everyone should know that Augustus Mengsk's orders cannot be questioned.

Only Sarah Kerrigan, the ghost agent next to Augustus, could feel the other emotions beneath that exterior toughness. The ghost with fiery red hair wanted to reach out and hold Augustus's hand and squeeze his fingers, but she finally gave up and just intertwined her slender hands.

Below the Norad II, the revolutionary army troops that landed on the dock were fighting with the hastily assembled defense forces.

Only one-third of the elite troops under Augustus were wearing power armor. Even if their enemies were just a group of federal fleet soldiers undergoing training in the shipyard, the battle scene was still extremely bloody.

The spiked bullets and hollow-point bullets accelerated by electromagnetism to several times the speed of sound turned the entire battlefield into a bloody slaughterhouse, with flesh and blood flying everywhere and organs flowing everywhere.

Every ten minutes or so, one or even several fleets of the Federation's Wraith fighter jets drive out from the tunnel that connects the entire orbital shipyard, including many large destroyers and interceptors.

There were explosions, the roar of machine guns and electromagnetic rifles everywhere. The Norad II's optics and sensors locked onto the Behemoth-class battlecruisers and giant troop carriers lying in the dock one after another. These unfinished battleships were either Collapse from the middle or become a pile of scrap metal in a chain reaction-like explosion.

It is foreseeable that the funds spent by the Federal Navy to repair these ships are unimaginable.

The battle continued, and at 15:36 standard time, a Federation Behemoth-class battlecruiser finally got rid of the interception of the Korhal Revolutionary Army fleet fighter group and jumped into Port A where the Norad II was located.

The two warships immediately began to bombard each other, and the barrage intertwined, but for a while neither one could do anything to the other, and the laser cannon team was unable to penetrate the armor of the enemy ship in a short period of time. In this era when the Yamato cannon has not yet been commissioned into the fleet, the battle between battlecruisers is far from reaching the level where a single blow is fatal.

"Assault team, Tychus, report your position immediately." Augustus said in the communication channel with the landing force: "Let those warships take off as soon as possible."

"This is the first team of Steelling Strikers. We are heading towards the bridge and central control room of a Behemoth-class battlecruiser. So far we have not encountered any blocking force." Corporal Faraday said.

"Following orders, we did not shoot at those workers in the shipyard."

"Very good." Augustus was very satisfied with Faraday's efficiency, and although he understood that the Federation would definitely portray the rebels as butchers who caused massacres, the revolutionary army was not terrorists after all.

"I've kicked this piece of scrap metal's ass so hard that it will start moving soon." Tychus cursed and said, "Move quickly, you loser!"

Augustus could hear the sound of steel clashing in Tychus' communication channel, and he could already imagine Tychus kicking the console while operating the control system.

Tychus is not a mindless idiot. He is actually very smart. It is not difficult for him to pilot various mechas and spaceships. After receiving systematic training, Tychus was even able to drive the Hyperion for a spin.

When the battlecruiser driven by Tychus slowly rose into the air, crookedly but unabated, Augustus could clearly hear Mr. Finley's manic laughter.

"Haha - old Tychus also drove the big guy -"

Immediately afterwards, Augustus saw two Behemoth-class battlecruisers slowly taking off, and only then did a slight smile appear on his face. The armor of these warships has even just been installed, and the assembly numbers are still left on them. No color or printing has been added to the painting, and the surface is still the cold gray of stainless steel alloy.

Not long after, Renault and Warfield also reported good news.

Warfield was somewhat unlucky. There were only two Behemoth-class battlecruisers in the dockyard where he was located, but his men discovered nine Leviathan-class battlecruisers being dismantled and successfully sailed seven of them. Up to heaven.

On the battlefield, Renault's luck was as good as ever. He captured eight Behemoth-class battlecruisers and at the same time took away more than a hundred Wraith fighter jets parked in the hangar.

With the arrival of the battlecruiser, the problem of the crew has also been solved. The new recruits Augustus recruited at the Port of the Dead were immediately put to use. A total of four conscriptions raised about 80,000 strong soldiers.

Kerrigan proved that these people were not spies of the Tyranid Federation. In addition, villains and people with hidden anti-social personalities were also eliminated. Although the remaining people were not very high in revolutionary consciousness, they were very interested in revolution. The Federation is still very keen on life.

"Notify the fleet." Augustus said after all the battlecruisers took off: "Immediately throw away your enemies and jump to the coordinates sent by Norad II."

At this time, the unknown transition signals in the Daila galaxy suddenly increased significantly, and the Federation Navy responded immediately in less than two hours. The Dalarian Orbital Shipyard is not far from the border area where the Terran Federation and the Kaimorian Consortium confront each other, and fleets cruising in the edge systems will soon be able to jump there.

If this were not the case, then Augustus would have occupied the shipyard for a period of time at all costs, rather than just grabbing it and running away.

At this moment, the Norad II was still entangled by the Federation battlecruiser and was unable to escape. It was Tychus who came to the rescue. He and another battlecruiser rushed to support the Norad II and forced him to retreat. Federal battleships, forcing them to retreat.

Suddenly, with a burst of electrical noise in the communication, the distress signal from the ground forces was connected to the bridge of the Norad II.

"Team 7 calls Norad II, our transport ship has been shot down."

"Team 4 calls for backup, we're trapped on the ground."

"There is a seriously injured person here. Please, someone come and save him."

Augustus' adjutants and Umoyan military advisors looked at him at the same time, waiting for his orders.

The revolutionary army sent fifteen teams, including pilots, engineers and escort soldiers, to the Dalarian Shipyard. Each team had about 120 people, in order to ensure that they could move as quickly as possible. Within the time required to seize the battlecruiser and keep the ship's systems operating at a minimum.

However, in actual conditions, several teams suffered heavy losses as soon as they landed. Only a few teams successfully completed their missions, and hundreds of Revolutionary Army soldiers were still trapped on the ground.

However, every extra minute spent in the Dalarian Shipyard means that the risk of being surrounded by the Federation fleet increases. The battlecruisers snatched have very limited combat effectiveness for the time being. Fighting directly with the Federation fleet will Putting oneself in a rather disadvantageous position.

"Locate all units, locate them immediately!"

"This is the bridge of Norad II, cancel the jump order." Augustus made the decision in one breath: "Send out a new transport ship and let all our Avengers and Wraith fighters Provide cover for fighters on the ground and ensure everyone can safely evacuate."

"We will not leave any warrior behind!" Augustus's voice echoed on the bridge.

These words made the officers and soldiers of the Revolutionary Army stand in awe, but they did not shock them greatly. Because in the eyes of these revolutionary soldiers, this should be the order issued by Augustus.

They never think that the people they follow will abandon their loyal warriors.

…

Augustus waited until around 17:00 standard time to confirm that all the Revolutionary Army soldiers waiting for rescue had been picked up on the ship. When the Norad II and other warships sailed out of the Delarian Shipyard, Warfield and Renault's fleet It had already jumped out of the Dela system under the order given by Augustus again.

When exiting the tunnel, the bright stars appeared in front of Augustus accompanied by a federal fleet that was waiting for them. However, this fleet only had three battlecruisers, and their commander obviously lacked confidence when facing Augustus' seven battlecruisers and did not dare to approach.

At the same time, behind Norad II, fire waves poured out from the tunnel entrance, which was a reflection of the fire in the shipyard.

"Ignore them." Augustus said. "Fight back and execute the jump command at the same time."

A Federation Wraith fighter jet swooping towards the bridge of Norad II was suddenly torn into pieces by a beam of laser. More than a dozen Wraith fighter jets surrounded the battlecruiser that once served the Federation as the flagship of Alpha Squadron. , avoiding the attack of the rotating turret on the battleship.

These brave pilots flew fighter planes with only light armor around the huge steel battleship, dodging the hot laser beams that followed and sending anti-air missiles out of the launch bay.

The attack from the Wraith fighter caused some vibrations in the Norad II defense matrix force field, but it was insignificant.

Ignoring the attack of the federal fleet, Augustus' fleet began to jump into the hyperspace channel.

Augustus stood with his hands behind his hands, as if the fierce battle outside the porthole had nothing to do with him: "Is there any news from Keha?"

"There is silence in the direction of Korhal IV."

After a brief silence, Augustus spoke: "We must be prepared to fight a protracted war. The suffering of the Federation and the people of Korhal will be reflected in every order we and the Federation commanders make."

All of them carry uncontrollable anger and sadness in their hearts. They are not telepaths, but they all feel the same for each other.

"Both Korhal and the federal government have made some mistakes. No complete and thorough revolution can be achieved overnight." Augustus said: "The Korhal people have nothing, but the federation has personally shaped our common ideals."

"The war has just begun, and the Tyranid Federation will never have peace. The Federation Council and the Creation Family destroyed Korhal IV, but they personally created a group of Avengers."

"What should we do next?" Augustus' adjutant asked him: "Now return to Korhal, maybe we can..."

"No!"

"Let's go to Tarsonis." Augustus said without hesitation: "The new recruits will be trained on our newly acquired battleships. I don't require them to become elite warriors, as long as they do it when I order them to fire. ”

The battle continues. By 18:23, the last battlecruiser completed the jump order, leaving the Dellarian Shipyard in a sea of ​​fire.
