StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

"Who are you?"

Augustus blinked, clasped his hands behind his back, and murmured in his heart, Narud, what tricks are you, a thief, playing?

His thick brows were knitted together, as if he couldn't remember who the person in front of him was.

"Oh, I am Dr. Emil Narud. When the UED invaders were still in Blackxis, I had the honor to watch from the sidelines while you were communicating with Gerald Dugar."

Dr. Narud wears a set of spotless white overalls and wears a badge with a bright green swirl pattern on his right chest. This is an elegant old man. His sideburns and beard are already gray, but his skin is well maintained and there is no sign of aging.

Augustus could see that Dr. Narud seemed to be very panicked and uneasy, and sometimes turned to the assistant and console next to him, as if a group of UED soldiers would suddenly rush out there.

"It turns out to be Dr. Narud." Augustus suddenly realized:

"What are you doing?"

"Listen to me, Stukov is planning a huge conspiracy." Dr. Narud's face was sweating, and the next moment he dropped a bombshell that made Augustus and others pay attention. :

"Stukov sent two fleets, one to deploy psychic launchers to attract the Zerg, and the other to attack the protoss to provoke a war between humans and them." His face was full of righteous determination:

"If the Koprulu sector cannot be conquered, based on the position of the United Earth Council, they must hope that the chaos here will be as chaotic as possible, so that the earth can be peaceful and stable for a long time. But as a Tyranid human, I will never allow the life in my homeland to be devastated."

"Is he really going to do this?" Augustus felt a sense of urgency after hearing the news, but then calmed down.

Augustus was suspicious of Narud's every word and cautious. However, the smart thing about Narud is that when he deceives, he always comes up with real bait and a bunch of fake baits that are fake, and he cannot ignore the information he gives.

On the bridge, Arcturus and Kerrigan's expressions changed, and even Tychus realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Yes, Stokov trusts me very much." Seeing that Augustus believed what he said, Narud breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued: "Because I helped Stokov Kove perfected Confederate psychic weapons and hybrid research and knew where they intended to take them."

"What he said is true. A psychic transmitter was indeed discovered on Bronte Prime." Arcturus looked serious.

"How many psychic transmitters did Stukov's people take away?" Kerrigan crossed her arms in front of her chest, and the tall fiery red horse followed her movements and landed on her neck as white as suet.

"A lot." Narud's hesitant answer made everyone feel heavy.

"Marshal Augustus, I overcame all the difficulties to get in touch with you." When there was noise around him, Dr. Narud almost gasped:

"If this lunatic Stukov is not stopped, he will definitely take the Koprulu sector and bury him with him, so that the protoss and zerg who start war again will not be able to threaten the earth again in a short period of time." He said:

"When the UED first arrived in Blackxis, I helped them to overthrow the tyranny of the Tyranid Federation. I didn't expect it!"

Dr. Narud punched the air hard and almost fell to the ground. His regret and pain were naturally revealed: "When I learned about Stukov's plan, I no longer had any interest in him. Don’t have any expectations.”

"Oh, I didn't see it." Tychus blew a puff of cold air from his nostrils: "But are you waiting to abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Now is the time. Everyone can see that UED is about to be finished. Doctor, we don't need to Work hard for the people of Earth."

"I can't watch Tarsonis be destroyed." Dr. Narud showed firm determination and said shockingly:

"Marshal, I can help you capture Tarsonis at the minimum cost. I do this for the four billion Tarsonis people, who are innocent."

"What are you going to do?" Augustus looked into Narud's dark brown eyes.

This guy knows what I want.

"Help us seize Dr. Narud of Tarsonis, I hope you are more than just saying that." Arcturus glanced at Augustus next to him: "When the UED attacked Tarsonis, they relied on electromagnetic pulse weapons and Invading and destroying federal security networks is a classic battle that is difficult to replicate."

"Although you say that you are deeply trusted by Alexei Stokov, you are only a scientific researcher."

"Yes, I'm just a weak old man who only manages a few scientific stations and laboratories, but a person like me who has half his feet in the ground still has the passion to protect the country and the country." Na Na Rudd still had a lot of time to express his ambition to serve the country:

"Stukov's rule in Tarsonis is not stable. Although he purged a large number of nobles and entrepreneurs, he is still not loved by the Tarsonis people." He continued:

"As far as I know, there are probably less than 200,000 UED soldiers on Tarsonis, and the rest are federal troops recruited by Stukov. Not only that, but their fleet is now very few."

At this moment, Narud has completely transformed from a traitor who defected to the people of Earth to a patriot. If he really helped Augustus liberate Tarsonis at the minimum cost as he said, it would not only be a great achievement, but he would also become a real hero.

Since Narud is a Terran scientist with a conscience, it is impossible for him to continue to help others at this time. In this way, Narud's move cannot be called a shameful betrayal for the revolutionary army.

"With just such a small number of people, it is impossible to ensure that the defense of Tarsonis is foolproof, which means that we can send out infiltration troops for invasion." Arcturus said: "Only people like Stukov can do this in this situation. I have to take control of Tarsonis, but even a good general cannot fight without troops."

"Except for the UED troops led by Stukov, the Tarsonis are very resistant to orders to stand firm." Narud said:

"In addition, Stukov is almost determined to have his own way, and there is a lot of internal opposition. If he falls, Tarsonis's army will fall apart in an instant."

"Assassination?" Kerrigan nodded: "This is a good idea, but we don't know where Stukov is."

"I know." Dr. Narud's face kept changing, and quickly turned into a determination as if he was about to die generously: "He stayed in his headquarters and monitored Tarsonis's defense network through the command and control system."

"Stukov is waiting for the good news from the fleet he sent, thinking that as long as the protoss and zerg attack again, everything will be fine." He left for a few seconds, and when he reappeared, he took out a display The electronic terminal showed the location coordinates of the UED headquarters and the defense map: "I have the high-level security key of the Stukov headquarters, so infiltrating it is not a problem."

"So, should I believe you?" Augustus spoke from his heart, but it meant another meaning to Narud's ears.

"Who knows if this is another conspiracy of Stukov. Unfortunately, doctor, I can't rashly launch an attack based on just a few words from you."

"I know your concerns." In Narud's view, this just proved that Augustus was about to make a decision.

Narud had studied Augustus a long time ago and knew that this man would care about the lives of ordinary people in everything he did. Judging from the current situation in Koprulu, with powerful enemies surrounding him and the old Tyran Federation party eyeing him, it is impossible for Augustus to refuse Narud's surrender.

"Just sending a few powerful ghost agents can avoid a terrible battle that will cause millions of casualties. I believe you will not ignore it." He said:

"Tarthonis's orbital defense network is not foolproof. It can be easily done by taking advantage of the obvious loopholes in it to send a few small spacecraft to the surface of the planet in a covert manner."

"If Stukov can be killed, the troops will be able to capture Tarsonis immediately." Arcturus has always been worried about the existence of ghost agents, but that does not mean that he cannot see his role as a super soldier and The value of humanoid weapons.

Augustus had many powerful psychics at his command, some of whom were willing to sacrifice themselves for Augustus and the revolution.

"Stukov doesn't trust Tyranid ghost agents - of course. He only entrusts Earth soldiers to protect the headquarters, but these Earthlings have very limited resistance to psychic energy." Dr. Narud said:

"I believe you already know something about hybrids. The origin of this creature is still unknown, but their psychic power is like gods in front of humans. I have control over many UED hybrids, and they will be used by the Revolutionary Army soldiers. Play a key role when it comes to action.”

With the help of the UED, as an unprecedented biological weapon, the hybrid has demonstrated its value and terrifying war potential in front of the humans of Tarsonis and Char on Tyranid.

If this was a tender for new weapons, then the hybrid would undoubtedly have performed perfectly after many appearances.

And with human beings' short lifespan and superficial understanding of the universe, it is impossible for them to realize the doomsday truth behind the hybrid. Narud was convinced of this. ——Even an outstanding human leader like Augustus Mengsk is no exception. Due to the limitations of his own race, his long-term vision is ultimately limited.

"Let Jackson Holler's Nova Squadron carry out this mission. They are experts in special operations and beheading missions." After a few seconds of silence that made Narud's breath stagnant, Augustus clicked. nod.

"In this case, I hope this assassination mission will begin immediately."

"I'm sending you the coordinates," Dr. Narud said. "Just waiting for detailed plans - I will always be your biggest supporter."

"After this, you can contact me through the following channels. The UED is closely monitoring the laboratory, and I must interrupt this communication."

As soon as Dr. Narud finished speaking, the scene was quickly interrupted.

"Should I believe him?" Tychus asked: "I think this guy is very cunning, and he must not be a good person."

"Augustus must believe him." Kerrigan knew Augustus's thoughts well: "Compared with the peaceful liberation of Tarsonis, the risk is completely negligible."

"This Dr. Narud"

"We can no longer afford the losses caused by a tragic victory." When Augustus turned to leave the bridge, Kerrigan thoughtfully put on the golden-red cloak for him, like a good wife at home. .

"Pass the order, the entire fleet is on alert. We will attack Tarsonis at any time."

"What should we do with the two fleets sent out by Stukov? If they really pissed off the bugs and pointy heads, those aliens won't care which skin you humans are wearing." Tai Case rarely expressed concern about the military operations of the Revolutionary Army.

This was not just because of the sense of justice in Tychus's heart, but because he saw the beautiful life after capturing Tarsonis.

As long as he thought that he could roam freely in the beautiful Tarsonis as a liberator and revolutionary hero, old Tychus could simply clap his hands and dance like a butterfly.

"Do you think this is really of any use?" Arcturus laughed it off: "The Protoss Empire is now our staunch ally, and the main force of the zerg is no longer in the Koprulu sector. Stukov is just wasting his efforts. time."

"We can't take it lightly. The protoss and zerg are more than just the protoss empire and the char swarm." The facial expressions with Narud were not entirely the reason why Augustus felt tired. He just slept too little and worked too long. .

In any case, Narud is a real helper in times of need.

Augustus had already guessed Narud's purpose - UED had lost its use value to Narud, and he urgently needed to find the next buyer for his hybrid.

There is no doubt that Augustus's revolutionary army will unify the territory of the old Terran Federation. And Narud needs the funds and manpower of the New Tyranid Empire to help him complete the next series of plans.

Narud must have thought that Augustus knew nothing about his plan to destroy the world.

"Border planets must be on heightened alert." Augustus said as he walked towards the bridge ladder of the Hyperion:

"Take Tarsonis before Stukov turns the entire Koprulu sector upside down."

"Let me lead the team." Kerrigan knew how much Augustus valued this matter: "That should be more certain."

"You" Augustus paused.

"No, I can't leave you."

An hour later, three special operations teams composed of eight ghost agents of the Revolutionary Army rode Wraith fighter planes equipped with stealth modules towards the heavily guarded Tarsonis.

Most of these ghost agents are from the Nova Squadron. In addition, the commander of the squadron, Jackson Holler, decided to personally lead the team to carry out the assassination mission. He is a powerful level 8 psychic agent himself, and is even more proficient in commanding special operations missions.

Before the special forces set off, Augustus personally met with these warriors who volunteered to perform this task and praised their noble character.
