StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 476 Rosa Morales

After boarding one of the Vagoray missile frigates, Renault appeared very satisfied. He immediately ordered that the Revolutionary Army's own Vagory pilots and related crew members be trained as soon as possible to integrate them into the combat order of the Char fleet, and...

"What belongs to the people on earth is high-end - but it belongs to us now." When walking down the gangway, Renault announced:

"Captain Hall, please find someone to paint these ships in our colors quickly. The UED emblem looks really annoying."

"As you wish." The Revolutionary Army captain named Jessica Hall was a woman with light gray pupils and short brown hair. She was wearing a blue and black cardigan navy uniform with a heroic appearance.

Augustus has recruited many people over the years, from all over Koprulu. Most of them are people like Hall, who are young, motivated and ideal.

At the same time, Renault noticed that more shuttles and transport ships were landing on the tarmac of the Fearless Fortress, and many dejected UED soldiers walked out of them, followed by Revolutionary Army officers and soldiers escorting prisoners.

The military uniforms of the UED Expeditionary Force are mostly khaki and dark brown. The materials are comfortable and breathable. They wear an eagle emblem and a golden five-star on their shoulders, making them easy to identify. They were filing away from the transport ship in several lines with their hands raised high. Most of them were injured, either lame or needed help from their comrades to walk.

These UED soldiers were all survivors scattered on the Chal battlefield, and they really survived only after a narrow escape.

Some people fell into the abandoned tunnel of the Nydus Worm and lay there for three days before encountering the Revolutionary Army motorcycle team patrolling the red wasteland of Char. Some people escaped the zerg but ended up living in the wilderness, almost dying of heat and starvation. When he died, he happened to encounter the protoss army.

The revolutionary army treated these earthlings quite well, at least they did not abuse them.

"It seems that these Earthlings are not convinced yet." Charles raised his head slightly while looking at the Earthlings, breathing out his nostrils.

Many UED soldiers were very uncooperative. Even when someone pointed a gun at them, they still held their heads high and refused to take off their hats with silver wing emblems.

"They think they were defeated by the protoss rather than us." Raynor's view of the Earthlings is better than Charles's: "The Earthlings are here to be conquerors, not prisoners."

"Don't worry about them. If there are hundreds of thousands more people to eat, we will have a headache." He patted Charles on the shoulder: "We are teachers of benevolence, and we cannot let these people starve to death."

"But someone has to go to the war crimes tribunal."

"Let's go." Renault left the apron and walked towards the core area of ​​the Fearless Fortress.

There is a newly built hospital inside the Fearless Fortress, which is probably the most welcoming corner of Char, the purgatory-like world of death.

The main body of the hospital is made of modular steel frames, and the floor is paved with stamped synthetic wooden boards. The parking ports are full of shuttles, and many engineers are driving unloading trucks and space engineering vehicles to transport supplies.

The outermost ones are rows of gray and black tents, used to store supplies, unpacked medical equipment, bandages, surgical tools, or piles of various canned fruits and synthetic protein rations.

On each tent stood a fluttering gold-red Revolutionary Army flag, which was as reassuring as the red cross worn by doctors, nurses and soldiers.

The tent was full of busy medical workers and wounded people, and the smell of disinfectant and chemicals was quite strong.

The outermost tent was used to accommodate soldiers with minor injuries. Some people were sleeping deeply, snoring loudly due to poor breathing. People who are still awake are whispering, or quietly reading e-books, putting on headphones and listening to music stored in personal terminals.

Every moment someone was moaning and crying out of pain.

The situation in the innermost operating room and intensive care unit was much worse. On average, stretchers carrying several seriously injured patients were sent in every two minutes.

There was a gunnery sergeant who lost the feeling in his legs because he was infected with the scorpion toxin. He was crying and struggling to wake them up. The doctor and his comrades had to hold him down with all their strength.

Scorpion venom is extremely deadly, with just a few milligrams of it paralyzing a person. If the treatment is not timely enough, the toxins will quickly spread throughout the body and cause the body to fester.

A communications soldier in charge of radio equipment was blindfolded and his hands were cut off at the roots. He cried uncontrollably, not because of pain, but because he was asking about the whereabouts of his company.

This nearly collapsed Revolutionary Army soldier actually knew the truth clearly. A dozen of the terrifying Tiamat Hunter-Slayer Hydralisks killed everyone in an extremely cruel way, cutting off the limbs and digging out the heart (the zerg did Will dig out the heart) to ensure that these people will not stand up and threaten the insect swarm again

Thousands of people are fighting for their lives, and medical equipment can only improve their chances of survival as much as possible. The people here are both heroes and tragic sufferers.

After just standing outside and watching for a while, Renault saw a dozen body bags being loaded into trucks. Inside were young men and women with pale faces, some of whom had faces that could even be called immature children.

And Renault simply couldn't imagine how sad the parents of these children must be when they see such a scene. Whenever he thinks of his mother's sad appearance, his chest hurts and his nose becomes sore.

Trucks loaded with corpses drove toward the crematorium at a cold, mechanical pace without making any stops. In Char, if corpses are not cremated as soon as possible, it is only a small matter to breed infectious diseases and plagues. Zerg virus spores scattered in the air can quickly turn them into abominable monsters.

Renault knew that he could not help the surgeon at all except causing trouble. He could only go into the lightly wounded and look at them.

When Renault and Charles walked into one of the tents, several bandaged Revolutionary Army soldiers were still reading letters from their parents and relatives, all of which were sent with the supply fleet from the distant Antiga star port. of.

The supply fleets promised by Marshal Augustus will continue to arrive. While bringing in scarce supplies of troops and various supplies, they will also bring in revolutionary soldiers who can no longer fight or want to escape from Char. go back.

There was also a young female doctor in the tent. She wore an ill-fitting white coat and had her light brown hair tied back.

"Where does it hurt? I heard that someone needs a doctor." Her voice was very gentle, sweet and soft. No need for anesthesia, the soldiers softened upon hearing this sound.

But this gentle voice was immediately interrupted by the excited cheers of the wounded. Jim Raynor was very popular among his troops, and the soldiers loved him as much as a marshal.

"General!"

"General Reno—"

"Hats off to you."

"Brothers, it's me who should pay tribute." Renault gestured to these soldiers who were eager to get up to lie back on their beds. He couldn't help but sigh that he once read the letters from his family with joy like them, and did not let go of the contents. Every word.

"Are you reading the letter that just came from the rear?" he asked one of the soldiers, whose face was bandaged.

"Yes, it was sent by Mayor Atticus Gordon. He is probably the last person who still remembers me." The soldier's face, which was still extremely pale due to pain, was so sad, but he still had a smile. .

"We all remember you, brother." Renault's nose twitched and he hugged the soldiers one by one: "You all did a good job."

"Thank you for taking care of them, doctor." He finally turned to the doctor.

Raynor noticed the doctor's ID tag, Lieutenant Rosa Morales, which indicated that she was a UED medic with special clearance.

"Earthling?" Charles almost jumped up: "How can we let such a person take care of our soldiers? She will poison the needles and bottles."

"General, my duty is to protect other people, whether it is a Tyranid or an Earthling." The UED medic named Moralis responded:

"This has always been the case. You are responsible for killing people, and we are responsible for saving people."

“The water in the well does not offend the water in the river.”

"Don't be too eager to be a villain, Charles. The hospital's manpower is simply not enough. The UED's medical equipment can save many people, and they are the only ones who know how to use it best." Renault couldn't help but shook his head: "We also treat people from Earth here. More chivalrous than Earthlings - the Tyranids work according to the 'Geneva Convention'."

"But I don't know, where did they find you?"

"We lost too many comrades on Char. After successfully breaking through, we encountered one of your light motorcycle companies." Morales waved her hand and replied: "My people and I finally had to surrender to them. .”

"I'm deeply sorry, but this place is full of people who have just lost their comrades, and I can't help you." Renault said to Moralis regretfully: "They found a good doctor, maybe an angel."

"The Angel of Gospel and the Angel of Death are also angels," Morales said.

Admittedly, Renault noticed that this Earth woman did have an almost angelic face.

Most of the medical soldiers in the UED expeditionary force are women like this, with beautiful voices and sweet voices. In any case, Renault believes that those who treat illnesses and save people should look like this. Compared to demons, they must look more like angels.

In a military camp full of young men, ladies in skirts are always welcome. In times of scarcity, just seeing them was enough to boost morale.

Renault didn't even dare to comment on Moralis' appearance because it was difficult for him not to let his imagination run wild.

"Whether it's good or bad, the one who can save people is a good angel." Reno changed a sentence Augustus once said:

"We are in need of talents like you here." The sense of identification and belonging to the revolutionary army made Renault involuntarily begin to recruit talents for Augustus:

"Marshal Augustus Mengsk needs people like you to train him a standard medical soldier like UED. If everything goes well, you will see him soon." Renault was just hinting at the unit commanded by Stukov. UED forces will soon fail:

"I believe the marshal will be very satisfied."

"It doesn't sound like a good thing." To Morales, it sounded more like slang in remote areas.

Morales didn't know anything about Augustus Mengsk, but the version that circulated was either terrible or too perfect to be a true human being.

"There are enough women around the marshal." Charles pointed out cautiously.

"Charles, what are you thinking about, you old turtle?" Renault was stunned for a while, and then he yelled angrily.

"General, Protoss Executive Tassadar has an urgent communication that requires you immediately." At this moment, one of Renault's adjutants came in holding an information panel in his hand.

"Come in," Charles said immediately.

"En Taro Adun, General James Raynor, we must now leave Char and return to Thagurath." In a holographic image that unfolded, Protoss Executor Tassadar appeared, with a golden crest behind his ornate crest. Blue executive robe windless automatic.

"I can understand." Renault nodded and said:

"But why so suddenly?"

"Sagurath was invaded by Zerg - the actual situation is more complicated. Some Dark Templar believe that the traitor Orega is also among them." Tassadar's words surprised Raynor.

"It sounds like the situation is not good," Raynor said. "Has Zeratul not caught the traitor yet?"

"No." There was no expression on Tasadar's face, but his usually calm voice became much more urgent.

"Friends, I'm sorry we have to leave. May the light of Adun shine upon you."

"Goodbye, friend." Renault also said.

"The Protoss fleet left Char's high-altitude orbit, and they disappeared from our radar scans." Ten minutes later, Renault's adjutant said.

An unspeakable uneasiness surged into everyone's hearts.

If Sagurath is attacked, it means that it will be difficult for the protoss to spare any effort to help humans. Not only that, as the sworn enemy of the Zerg, it would not be a good thing if the protoss' power was greatly damaged again.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the huge bloody sun on the horizon was setting. That is the irregular variable star in the Char binary star system, which means that its size and brightness are not stable, and sometimes it becomes abnormally bright and sometimes its brightness suddenly decreases.

"Commander, several outposts have reported sightings of tens of thousands of Zerg-infected humans from multiple directions outside of Dreadnaught Fortress," the adjutant reported.

"Damn it, why won't these bugs let them go?" A distracted Renault looked at the holographic screen on the control panel.

Under the bloody afterglow of the setting sun, the shambling infected people appeared in the distance of the horizon in twos and threes. They were all members of the UED expeditionary force or revolutionary army, and there may have been some early colonists of Char among them.

"Oh - God!" Morales, the UED medic next to her, exclaimed, feeling sad about this. Most of them are Moralis' former comrades and compatriots. They came here to defend the earth, but they did not expect that they would turn into such hateful monsters.

"I'd heard before that infections were scary, but this was too scary."

"Before the long-awaited antidote to the Zerg virus is actually developed, killing these poor people and bringing them relief is the last thing we can do." Raynor quickly issued the order:

"Send in firebats and armored units to clear out these infected - I'll lead them myself."

"It's terrible." Charles hummed, frowning: "Now that the master has left Charles, who is controlling these monsters?"

"Where did that bastard go?"

Orega's attack on Sagurath is part of the Dark Revenge campaign in Star Gaiden, and is also an officially recognized content.
