StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

"The Federal Assembly passed Bill No. 4 submitted by the Senate, declaring you the number one public enemy of mankind. The bounty on Augustus Mengsk has been increased to 2.5 billion credit coins, of which 500 million are additionally provided by the Darbanville family. They claim it's all about justice being served."

In the office of the Immigration Governor in Grand City, Sarah Kerrigan was standing in front of Augustus' desk.

This office has elegant interior furnishings. The desks, chairs, counters, wine cabinets and even the golden-red silk carpets on the floor are all made by protoss craftsmen based on human culture. Cabinet windows, vases, water glasses, etc. They are all hand-cut from pure crystal, with a gem-like beauty.

The wine cabinet has its own defense matrix, which can not only isolate it from the prying eyes of any villains who covet Augustus's collection of fine wines, but also eliminate the possibility of any unscrupulous person trying to poison the food and water consumed by the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

A prismatic green Ihem crystal hangs at the end of a canvas hanging on the wall. According to Zeratul, the Dark Priest who presented the crystal, this crystal can reproduce the user's past memories.

The value of these various precious collections is astonishing. Not to mention that they are all made by the most famous master craftsman of Kalai in the Protoss Empire. Even the artistic value itself is enough to make any human who sees them fall in love at first sight.

"The wealth of the d'Arbanville Family is astonishing." Augustus leaned back on the armchair lined with Albangaras cheetah leather, his hands interlocked and flat on his chest.

"This is a mysterious founding family that has always kept a low profile. The public knows very little about their industry. What have I done to make them hate me so much?"

"Perhaps some of your and your father's political opinions have touched the interests of the Darbanville family, or perhaps they are firm supporters of federal sovereignty and aristocratic politics." Kerrigan referred to the founding family of the Tyrann Federation. One of the d'Arbanville family records was placed on the table in front of Augustus.

"Christina D'Arbanville, a rising star in the business world." Augustus picked up a photo of an intellectual woman with long reddish-brown braids.

"Does it look good?" Kerrigan asked.

"It's not very pretty." Augustus mused.

"Are you talking about the redhead?" Kerrigan pulled out another stack of papers from her portfolio.

"I think red hair is the most beautiful hair color." Augustus sat up.

"Nonsense, you obviously like blond hair." Kerrigan crossed her arms on her chest.

"As a Mengsk, there's nothing wrong with liking blond hair," Augustus argued. "Angus Mengsk's genes are to blame."

"Well, it's all your father's fault, so your ancestors should be somewhat responsible." Kerrigan said with her hands on her hips.

"Mengsk has always had gray hair and brown hair, but when it came to my nephew Valerian, it was all over." Augustus liked Valerian very much, but that didn't stop him from teasing his incompetent nephew.

"This shows that the bloodline of the Umoyan Pasteur family is as good as the Mengsk family." Kerrigan said to Augustus.

"Bloodline should be honored by the achievements of nobles. Apart from that, it is nothing." Augustus shrugged and changed the subject: "What other news comes from the Tyranid Federation. The first total war After it’s over, the world will finally be a lot more peaceful.”

"I already know the main recent policies of the Federation, including the cliche ones that emphasize that we are traitors, dissidents, subversives and terrorists. The Federation High Command announced that their fleet will be sailing to Thailand again soon. In the fringe world of the Lun Federation, any traitors, pirates, and young people who want to take advantage of the fire will be punished immediately——"

"Why were they never so strong-willed when the zerg invaded in large numbers? Now both the protoss and the zerg are hurt. After retreating to their own world, the Federation can't wait to jump out again, for fear that people will forget about them." Gustus said.

"Telling about recent events, I am happy to hear about the scandals of the federal nobles."

"Assassinations against high-ranking federal officials, political leaders, and especially military leaders have increased exponentially. Major General Frederick Duke, a member of the Duke family, was also found dead in the bathtub of his home. His charming fiancée announced that he would join the federal navy. The Marines have their revenge." Kerrigan handed over a photo of Fredo Duke.

He was a young, handsome, and suave Chief of Staff of the Federation Navy. He had no impressive record, but he had a share of military exploits in every battle.

"It was not our people, nor the Sons of Korhal who did it." Augustus said after looking at it for a few seconds.

"We don't have that many manpower to assassinate these people, and" he took the document and looked at it carefully: "Moreover, some of them are supporters of the Revolutionary Party, and others, as far as I know, are still among the few in the corrupt federal system. One of the many good men who enforces the law impartially."

"So who did this?"

"The timing of assassinations suddenly increased over a period of time, and the methods were very sophisticated. The assassins were even old people who had been in the victim's family for decades and were treated like family members." Kerrigan explain.

"This must come from a sophisticated and powerful organization that, as far as we know, only the Umoyan intelligence and espionage networks are capable of."

"Unless Umoyan is crazy, he would think of using the spy network they built at great cost at this time." Augustus said and shook his head: "Look at all the people they assassinated - —Reputable political and military leaders."

"It looks like another federal resistance organization that we don't know about." Augustus thought in his mind: Is it Duran?

But there is no need for Duran to do that, or is weakening the Tyranid Federation part of his plan to resurrect Amon? The destructible federation would not be of any benefit to Duran, and he would most likely have to rely on financial support from the plutocrats in the federation to build a hybrid factory.

"Not only assassinations, but also attacks on federal military facilities and factories have continued one after another." Kerrigan continued: "Coupled with those parts that were concealed by the federal military, the scope and intensity of this attack are far beyond our imagination. .”

"Have you seen the UNN news?"

"I rarely watch clowns' performances and liars' talk shows now." Augustus shrugged.

"The Tarsonis Police Department captured some people who were accused of being assassins and terrorists. They claimed to be instructed and funded by the Mengsk family and the Sons of Korhal." Kerrigan spread her hands.

"They are really good at looking for ideas for me," said Augustus.

"Actually, our agents and Umoyan allies must have gotten the exact information, or in other words, the Terra family and the Holt family must know something."

"Eva Hot and Constantine Terra were also assassinated, and they received some news - the assassin claimed that human orthodoxy was about to return to Koprulu," Kerrigan said.

"Earth?" Augustus said after a moment of silence.

"I don't know, huh, these people all belong to an ancient organization called the Earth Return Faction. They believe that people on earth will one day take back their colonies on the edge of the galaxy. But everyone regards them as crazy. The earth is six miles away from us. Tens of thousands of light years away, people on Earth may not even know that four colony ships crashed in the corner of the Horn," Kerrigan said.

"All in all, these organizations, which may have existed a century or more ago, are doing their best to cause destruction in the territory of the Terran Confederation," she said.

"Who knows whether the Earth's government has survived to this day and maintained control over the colonies in their solar system. It is likely that it has been torn apart internally."

"Well, if the people of Earth are determined to take over the Koprulu sector, then the Tyranid Federation is indeed one of their biggest obstacles at the moment." Augustus said.

"Do you really believe that the people on Earth are about to return?" Kerrigan obviously didn't believe this rumor: "No one in the entire Tyranid Federation, except those lunatics, would believe such nonsense."

"There is a reason for everything," Augustus said. "You can't say that the people in this organization suddenly went crazy."

"However, if the earth's army really marches into the Koprulu sector, the Terran Federation will definitely be the first to be unlucky." He gave instructions.

"Pay close attention to the movements of this organization, and if possible, I hope to get in touch with the leader of this organization."

"The Federation wants to know more than we do." Kerrigan nodded.

"Tell all my agents, tell Arcturus the son of Korhal. This is a top priority and cannot be done casually." Augustus was thinking a lot for a moment, and he gradually realized that this was very possible. It is an opportunity to completely overthrow the Terran Federation. But what followed was another more powerful enemy.

Augustus thought that he was the only one who knew that the UED was coming. If these terrorist attacks are just a small, easily overlooked prelude to an Earth military expedition, then judging from the time it takes for the United Earth Council fleet to set off and arrive in the Koprulu sector, it can take anywhere from a few months to more. In a year and a half, they will be in Koprulu.

It’s just that Augustus has no idea whether the Earth Expeditionary Force is preparing to set off or has already set sail.

If the Earth Expeditionary Force is really prepared to intervene in the war in the Koprulu sector in advance, it will be difficult for them to transport supplies from Earth, which is tens of millions of light years away.

This is Augustus's advantage, and he is thinking about how to use this, calculating how to become the final winner when the UED expeditionary force beats the Tyranid Federation.

Augustus knew what was going on in the world and what might happen in the future. He just figured out the exact time, because something had already fundamentally changed.

This is only the year 2493, and they came too early. Since the Overlord Insect Swarm invaded the Koprulu Sector ahead of schedule, the entire timeline has begun to accelerate.

However, big events never change.

"I see." Kerrigan realized this was something worth highlighting.

"Anything else to mention."

"This is the greatest challenge our intelligence community has faced since its inception," Augustus said.

"That's probably no harder than having some idiot try to get the protoss to talk." Kerrigan turned the page.

"There is one more thing. The Umoyan people hope that you can go to the main star of Umoyan. This is related to strengthening more military and economic cooperation. You know, this kind of thing is not easy to shirk. All the time, They are all helping us digest the output of the colonies - the federal territories are too afraid to contact the rebels, and the Kaimorian Commonwealth is too poor."

"Okay, I think I understand." Augustus knew that some things could not be solved by asking his father and brother to sell their butts. As the leader of the revolutionary army, he still had to step forward in this situation.

The real purpose of the United Umoyan Republic is just to weaken the dominance of the Terran Federation in order to preserve themselves. They spare no effort to help Korhal and the Revolutionary Army just because it is beneficial to them. ——It is conceivable that after Augustus's revolutionary army became stronger and stronger and the federation gradually weakened, Umoyan's goals were also achieved.

If the new regime established after Augustus overthrew the Federation also posed a huge threat to Umoyan, then Umoyan would definitely turn his back on him.

"There is also some news about the Umoyan Judgment Council. They have relaxed the policy of restricting the entry of refugees from the Terran Federation, provided that these people swear loyalty to the United States. At the same time, the Council has increased military funding for the Protectorate. To build their 'unrivaled' high-tech fleet to deal with the zerg threat." Kerrigan went on to talk about events within Umoyan.

"——On the 14th, Minister Jorgensen gave a speech at Umoyan University under the protection of the Umoyan Shadow Guard, denounced the Terran Federation as a false regime controlled by plutocrats and oligarchs."

"Minister Jorgensen is a capable person." Augustus said: "I have seen some new ship types in the Umoyan Protectorate Fleet, and I can actually see the shadow of the Protoss warship on them."

"It seems that I have to arrange a trip to Umoyan. I haven't seen my mother and sister for a long time." He said.

"What's going on with the Kemerian Commonwealth?"

"There is no movement. There is still open and covert fighting in the board of directors of the consortium. Today either the CEO had a car accident, or the president of a company accidentally slipped and fell into the warp speed engine of the battleship for some reason," Kerrigan replied.

"Compared to the Federation, the homeworld of the Zerg is much more lively. According to the news returned by the fleet monitoring the Char system, a terrible civil war broke out among the Zerg in Char. But now this civil war has subsided. Down, most likely because Dagos, the most powerful brain worm in the swarm, returned to Char," she said.

"The zerg's desire to expand in the universe has obviously declined, and now they will only attack ships that rashly invade their territory."

"This is good news for the people who are suffering from the ravages of the zerg, but I believe that the zerg swarm will regain its strength sooner or later. As long as a new master appears, the cerebrates will be united again." Augustus commented explain.

"Order our science ship to keep a close eye on Char and pay attention to every move of the swarm." He said: "Be alert for another swarm counterattack."

"The enemy must not be allowed to destroy the home we have built with our own hands."

"As you said." Kerrigan's green eyes blinked.

"As for the protoss, Sagulath also needs you to go there. Tassadar, the executive of the El Protoss, and Rashagar, the matriarch of the protoss of Sagulas, decided to form a group called Dallam. Protoss: United)'s new government, you are the only human invited to witness that moment."

"Maybe the Protoss will invite me to be an official." Augustus joked.

"But I am more concerned about who has the final say in this government, Tassadar or Rashagal? Their status among their respective tribes is unshakable." He asked Kerrigan:

"Where's Zeratul? I haven't seen him for a while. The last time I saw Zeratul, he vowed to hunt down the fallen Dark Templar Orega and bring Sagulath back for trial."

"No one has seen Zeratul again." Kerrigan brushed the red hair from her cheek, as if remembering something.

"The protoss of Aiur say that Zeratul has lost himself in the void, and the protoss of Sagurath say that their patriarch is chasing the phantom of Orega and the fragments of the Xel'Naga prophecy."

"Don't worry about Zeratul." Augustus smiled.

"Zeratul always appears when we need him most. He is a knowledgeable and wise elder, and he will never abandon his people and friends."
