StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

This newly completed settlement consists of 10,000 modular single-storey prefabricated houses and functional houses with more than two floors. It is located in the dense jungle of Beisher. A power station powered by a ship's fusion reactor powers these buildings. supplies the required energy.

Residential houses are distributed in a colonial grid from south to north, leaving a wide four-lane asphalt road and an airport for parking transport aircraft in the middle. From the air, it looks like a blue and white grid.

The cube-shaped house components were cast from concrete and lightweight alloys at Korhal IV's factory. The metal shells were painted with blue and white primer and sprayed with whip-grip rings. The gold and red logo, the wolf head of the Mengsk family and the red gold star flag of the Korhal Dominion are flying on the command center, which is the tallest building.

The perimeter of the gathering place is a Presteel fortification wall more than 10 feet high. The jungle outside the wall has been flattened by plasma flamethrowers and forklifts, clearing the view for the soldiers standing guard on the protective wall.

To this day, residents in the settlement are still skeptical about the effectiveness of this defensive wall. Rumors and scary stories began to spread among the uneasy colonists. They believe that those weird alien creatures seem to only need You can jump over high walls with a single leap and walk through walls like a ghost.

This colonial settlement, which was once prosperous a month ago, was once full of hope. People temporarily forgot about the sadness of leaving their hometown and focused on building a new home.

Byshir is an excellent world for colonization, without even having to go through the lengthy process of terraforming to make it habitable. This will become the first new home of the wandering Korhal people, who will inherit the tenacious conduct of their ancestors to open up this primitive world.

That's how it should be.

Next to the command center are the military camp square and dispatch square, which are also made of prefabricated panels. There is about a battalion of revolutionary army soldiers in red power armor and nearly 3,000 people in dark gray military uniforms holding C-13 Gauss rifles at waist level. The poles stood upright in the dispatch square, and parked next to them were light reconnaissance vehicles produced by Keha Military Factory and armored heavy tanks equipped with a heavy machine gun on the roof.

The flag bearer held a bright red flag, and every soldier had a solemn expression on his face. All soldiers know very well that in this crisis-ridden world, they are the only wall between their families.

The ratio of military personnel among the Korkha people is close to an astonishing five to one. Except for the disabled and those working in special positions, men and women aged 16 to 50 are required to receive professional military training as a reserve force that can replenish frontline troops at any time.

The composition of these soldiers, especially the personnel in the colonial fleet, is very complex. Among them are working-class people from the main city of Stillling, the capital, and fishermen from the ocean city.

"Calm down and stand at attention." Rick Kidd used the speaker inside his commander's power armor.

"We encountered strange creatures that we have never seen before. Those monsters are the most terrifying enemies that humans have ever encountered." Rick lectured in less than a minute.

"On this planet eight thousand light years away from Korhal, there are two highly evolved intelligent races living at the same time. This is a race that is full of malice towards us and refuses to understand and all peaceful communication. So what awaits us is life and death. war." He was only in his early twenties, but he already behaved like a majestic general.

The war and the cold killing as a sniper made Rick the coldest warrior among the demons in heaven. He would never allow himself to betray Augustus's trust or let him down. For this reason, all enemies standing in front of him All will be eradicated resolutely and without hesitation.

"No matter how long the battle lasts, there is only one final result. Either we completely kill these monsters, or we are exterminated by them. Gentlemen, tough guys of Korhal IV, let those arrogant monsters see what human beings are like Courage." His voice floated over the dispatch square.

"When you return in triumph, they will greet you like heroes."

"Fight for Korhal, we are the sons of Korhal," the soldiers immediately shouted in unison in response to Rick.

In the eyes of the Korhal people, the Sons of Korhal are not the name of a terrorist organization. Virtually every Korhal who warned themselves to remember the events of Korhal's Fall proudly called themselves a son of Korhal.

Tyranid Confederacy investigators will find that there is no information about the terrorist organization Sons of Korhal among the exiled Korhal, or that all Korhal are Sons of Korhal.

"Order all troops to set off from Alpha Gate, with tanks and Spitfire troops in front." Rick continued to order: "Let the bombers take off and prepare to drop incendiary bombs."

"The reconnaissance plane has arrived in the sky where the Vulture Company sent a request for help. It is twelve miles away from us and covered with dense virgin forest. In the complex ground environment, the radar equipment cannot function at all, and the thermal imaging equipment of the reconnaissance plane Only captured warriors can be detected," his adjutant replied.

"Other than that, we did not detect any enemy forces."

Rick's adjutant is named Alan Philip. Like many officers of ordinary origins in the Revolutionary Army, Philip is just the son of a construction worker. When he was a student, he won a full-year scholarship to the Stillling Artillery Academy with his excellent grades, and when the Korhal War of Independence began, he joined the Korhal Revolutionary Army as soon as he graduated.

Just like this, Rick's officers had a variety of careers before joining the army. Some were pastry chefs or chefs, and there were many people from all walks of life, including primary school teachers, taxi drivers, art students, and reporters.

The chief speaker of the Korhal Council, Angus Mengsk, once declared to his supporters that no matter they were nobles or ruffians, they were willing to defend their homeland and country. This was the great and united Korhal nation.

"They are waiting for help." Rick said: "They use the lives of their compatriots to force us to send rescue troops, and they try to provoke us, just to get us out of the city and into the jungle."

"Then, what awaits us is the brutal hunting of aliens." He said: "Just like the hunters on Korhal, they set traps, wait for deer or wild boars to walk into the trap, and shoot them one by one."

"That's good, I've been waiting for this opportunity. Our warriors urgently need to engage in a sword and fire battle, facing off against real enemies instead of shadows or fears. Otherwise, even if these damn monsters don't kill us all Commanders, isolated cities will slowly collapse."

"We became prey." Rick's adjutant Philip said: "Finally one day, humans became prey again."

"Let's go." Rick said as he took the boatswain's sniper rifle from his adjutant that had been with him since the days of the Federal Marines. This sniper rifle has been well maintained and shiny.

Worried that the enemy has the ability to destroy the human air force, Rick does not dare to let the soldiers march on transport planes.

Rick rode a Kailian war-era Saber command vehicle at the front of the marching column. The infantry lined up in three columns and marched at a speed of three miles per hour in the jungle with complex terrain. There was a coalition above their heads. The team's Avenger fighter jets and five Phantom fighter jets provided air support.

The first six miles were low and flat jungle, and the Revolutionary Army troops had been marching at a faster speed. When they got deeper into the jungle, as taller and denser vegetation appeared, Rick had to order the soldiers to abandon the cars they were riding in. Heading through the jungle with only supplies.

This is a green jungle world full of orchids, ferns and early angiosperms. In the corners covered by plants, there are ancient ruins that have been buried by time.

Those grass-gray buildings with weathered traces are engraved with mysterious and ancient symbols and characters. In the dark, these characters will shine with a fluorescent green mysterious light similar to fireflies.

Relics older than the entire history of mankind are buried in dense forests with lush foliage. Those majestic rectangular buildings seem to be the Mayan pyramids in Central America on earth, and the circular altar seems to be related to some kind of cruel and bloody sacrificial activities. .

In the distance, the terrazine gas springs that permeate the vast primeval forests and grasslands are like plumes of smoke rising straight upward, rendering the blue sky of Beisher into a magnificent purple.

If they pay attention to the sky, they will find that in the purple clouds and mist, they will occasionally find huge oar-shaped fins and the outline of a huge whale emerging from it, as if there is a group of floating whales swimming in the air.

To this day, humans have not discovered that strange life still exists in some peach orchard-like corners of Beisher.

As the forward troops of the Revolutionary Army gradually penetrated into the jungle, Rick also led a company equipped with power armor to advance on foot in the dense jungle of Baishel.

The dense canopy of broadleaf vegetation gradually blocked the sunlight above them, casting a dark shadow across the woodland. The silence in the jungle of Baishel is eerily silent. There are no sounds of birds and beasts, only primitive insects buzzing on the flowers.

The diamond-shaped leaves of the shrubs were still covered with a layer of wet moisture, and the uniforms of the Revolutionary Army soldiers gradually became damp and sticky. As the forward troops led by Rick get closer and closer to their destination, there is almost no path to follow in the dense forest.

In this case, Rick and his warriors had to use spurs to chop down small trees and the tough vines entangled between the trees. Because soldiers' vision was obscured by the surrounding environment in the dense jungle, Revolutionary Army officers had to use radio equipment to repeatedly confirm the position of their troops.

Nearly 3,500 soldiers were scattered in the dense jungle, advancing in a search formation. The distance between soldiers was three to five meters. Every ten minutes, the revolutionary army's marching column would briefly stop and close up. Team, the officer will report to the commander whether there is any unexplained disappearance in his unit.

Soldiers wearing crimson power armor walked on the outermost edge as the backbone of the team, while more soldiers wearing ordinary cotton uniforms carried Gauss rifles, gas flamethrowers and heavy machine guns to provide fire cover.

When he was less than a mile away from his destination, Rick sent out another team of elite scouts, but that team of scouts quickly lost contact with him after more than ten minutes.

Rick and his men immediately realize that the enemy is nearby.

At this moment, the breeze was blowing the plants under the feet of the Revolutionary Army soldiers, and the leaves rustled. Unknowingly, sweat began to break out on Rick's face and body.

"There is still no news from Sergeant Noed. The positioning device in their power armor shows that it has not moved for more than twelve minutes." When Rick's power boots stepped on the slippery grass, his helmet A captain's report came from inside, and a dozen adjutants and guards in power armor stood nearby, walking forward step by step.

The soldiers glanced left and right, using thermal imaging devices in their power armor visors to watch for signs of movement in the jungle. As Rick's most elite troops, their masks are equipped with sophisticated anti-stealth equipment.

Since the human army of the Tyranid Federation does not have large-scale cloaking equipment, it is neither necessary nor costly to equip a large number of anti-cloaking equipment. If Augustus had not provided his battalion-level and above headquarters in order to deal with the Federation's ghost agents, They are all equipped with anti-stealth tactical eyepieces, so for today's colonists, invisible enemies are almost invincible.

The limited function of this detection equipment allows Rick's soldiers to only observe enemies within the field of view with the naked eye, which has a fatal blind spot.

Holding the boatswain's sniper rifle, Rick seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat. He couldn't help but think of the first time he held this gun - he was a human psyker with level five psionic powers. When he concentrates, the passage of time slows down.

In Rick's eyes, even the shaking of the leaves slowed down, but his thinking was still clear. He listened to the rustling branches swaying, and from time to time rustling sounds came from the grass in the dense forest.

Rick has been thinking about where he would attack if it were him——

Suddenly, Rick suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, and suddenly found a vague figure standing on a tree that looked like a banyan tree in front of him to the right, judging from his long dreadlocks and sparkling scarlet eyes. Look, this should be the same creature as the monster they killed before.

He (it) is using a strong arm to wrap around the leaning branch, and the other hand is holding a scarlet light blade about five feet long, with both feet propped up on the thick trunk, as if it were a tree. Just prepare the eagle that is descending in a swooping attitude.

"Pay attention to the tree at ten o'clock, on the treetop!" Rick shouted immediately.

Sensing that Rick had spotted him, the creature jumped from the tree, its crimson cape whirring behind it.

The surrounding Revolutionary Army soldiers immediately opened fire on him, but the nail bullets that could easily tear apart an adult bounced away as soon as they landed on him. A circular shield prevented him from all damage.

He advanced with graceful steps amidst the rattling gunfire. While running, he easily beheaded a revolutionary soldier who was closest to him, and then cut off a lieutenant in the waist with a horizontal blow. The red The blood immediately fell from the sky like rain.

Powered armor is as fragile as a block of tofu.

With absolute calmness, Rick used his highly decorated sniper rifle to aim at the opponent's head and fire one shot after another, while his loyal men ran forward desperately, firing while blocking the enemy's head. among his own commanders.

The alien monster walked all the way, chopped down twelve Revolutionary Army soldiers in power armor, and cut the adjutant Philip in front of Rick into two with a knife. He was nearly unstoppable until a grenade hit him, causing him to stumble to the ground.

He obviously underestimated the power of human weapons and believed too much in his own shield.

When the alien creature roared in a strange language, Rick could only guess that the other person was talking dirty words from the perspective of judging others.

At the same time, Rick shot the opponent's face one after another until he stopped moving.

"Can you speak English?" he said to the dying creature in a tone filled with hatred.
