StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

"Today, we will retake Tarsonis, and the final victory of this revolution is coming. I am Marshal Augustus Mengsk, and I wish you all success."

The war began while everyone in Tarsonis was asleep.

Gray-collar workers living in high-rise buildings can see a spectacular sight. An inverted meteor shower fell from the sky, and dozens of shining new stars appeared in the deep blue night sky. Their brightness and size soon exceeded the three moons of Tarsonis.

This is not the first time that people in Tarsonis City have seen this scene. The people of Tarsonis who have experienced that disaster will never forget the war a month ago.

About two million innocent civilians were killed in the invasion war launched by the UED expeditionary force, and ten times that number were left with varying degrees of trauma. Some urban areas of Tarsonis are still covered in reinforced concrete and thick glass dust, leaving corpses buried deep beneath to rot.

The offensive of the Korhal Revolutionary Army was stronger and faster than this.

The battle between the Revolutionary Army fleet and the UED fleet in the synchronous orbit of Tarsonis lasted for several hours. Countless debris fell into the planet's atmosphere, forming a large rain of fire.

The war was about to break out, but the UED's command communication channel remained unusually silent, as if the huge command center had completely disappeared from the command channel. The UED officers were unable to receive any instructions from their Lieutenant General Stukov, and could only rely on experience and independent judgment to command their troops.

With thunderous momentum, the Revolutionary Army battlecruiser occupying the high-altitude orbit of Tarsonis used Yamato cannons to launch a large-scale orbital bombardment.

Bright orange fire broke through the clouds and fell from the sky, and the concentrated plasma beam instantly engulfed the UED expeditionary force's military facilities on the surface of Tarsonis. Following bursts of roars that destroyed the heaven and earth, multiple shining points of light bloomed in the darkness.

Facilities such as the armory, engineering station, science station, physics laboratory, and orbiting satellite base station located near Tarsonis City have all been hit hard. Air defense firepower has been severely damaged, and orbital defenses have tended to collapse.

Yamato cannon fire shook the surface of Tarsonis, and the electromagnetic railgun aimed at its intended target. In the violent roar, the impact point was quickly ignited by a nuclear explosion, and the air hit was immediately heated to an extremely terrifying temperature, and all buildings were reduced to ashes in the roar of the plasma flow.

The spread of the shock wave shattered the windows of all buildings for miles, killing countless people. Tarsonis burned with shudders, and the bright spots of the explosion created huge burning pits and vast areas of ruins.

Amidst the piercing sirens, a heavy rain fell over the city of Tarsonis. Tens of thousands of transport ships, landing craft, and airdrop pods fell into the atmosphere of Tarsonis, densely packed like a storm.

The UED expeditionary force's Tarsonis garrison was in chaos. The Earth-born troops of the expeditionary force are still holding on to the front, but the Tyranid troops they recruited from the local area have been slow to respond.

The huge vacancy in the command of the UED was also exposed at this time. Including the current core figure of the expeditionary force, Alexey Stokov, and a large number of senior officers suddenly disappeared. The remaining UED commanders had to Accept the possibility that the command center has been completely destroyed by the revolutionary army.

The front-line UED officers were all seeking orders from higher-level officers, but got nothing but to hold on and hold on because they were also calling their superiors. It is true that for those commanders at the division level, they are more responsible only for the troops to which they belong.

The most direct consequence of the chaos in command is that each unit can only fight on its own positions.

In the middle of the night, dozens of bright orange beams from the Yamato cannons of the Revolutionary Army fleet were clearly visible, piercing the sky and the earth. They were destroying military targets with surgical precision, trying to avoid affecting residential areas and buildings as much as possible. Every Yamato cannon was able to destroy At least one city block in size.

Thick smoke rose from the once majestic skyscrapers, turning into piles of rubble like collapsed stone monuments, raising large clouds of dust over the city.

This horrific scene inevitably caused chaos among the UED defenders on the ground. Thousands of soldiers were burned to ashes, and charred corpses piled up in mountains. It has nothing to do with bravery and experience. It is only luck that determines whether they will die tragically like their comrades.

The UED defense force in Tarsonis City has approximately 300 divisions and more than 7 million people, of which the number of original UED soldiers is only about 200,000. The troops mainly formed by the Tyranids were generally weak in fighting will, and they were in chaos under this offensive. There were not a few who took advantage of the chaos and became deserters.

Stukov's force was indeed an elite division, composed of well-trained soldiers of the Sol Empire. They were stationed in defensive positions and were one of the few who immediately launched a counterattack and attempted to shoot down the landing after the devastating orbital bombardment of the Revolutionary fleet. Of ships.

Those who caused the greatest casualties to the Revolutionary Army's landing troops were the few who escaped the orbital bombardment of the UED orbital electromagnetic pulse cannon positions. The terrifying electromagnetic pulse wave destroyed the electronic systems of hundreds of landing craft and shuttles, causing them to plummet in helpless violent jolts. These were the first batch of Revolutionary soldiers to die in the Tarsonis landing battle.

The ship, dragging thick smoke, crashed into the city of Tarsonis, inevitably causing a raging fire at the landing site. The city under curfew was lit up by flames. The roar of anti-aircraft cannons, the roar of missiles, and the clicking sound of large mechas striding forward have never stopped since the first landing craft landed in the city.

As more and more Revolutionary landing ships landed in Tarsonis, the two armies exchanged fire with each other throughout the city.

At this moment, in the center of the main city of Tarsonis, even though the buildings have long been deserted, the magnificent Sky Tower building of the past Creation Family still stands, like a silent tombstone telling the past power of its owners. .

Surrounded by more than a dozen sky towers were more skyscrapers and prosperous neighborhoods, but now the place is dead.

Stationed here is the Atlas Wing of the UED Expeditionary Force, Lieutenant General Stukov's elite guard. They are equipped with a large number of giant Goliath armed robots and armored vehicles, and carry powerful individual cluster rocket launchers. This regiment has a long history. These Earth soldiers wearing gray power armor have fearlessly defended the security and stability of the Earth Federation.

In the early morning, the Atlas Wing in the center of Tarsonis encountered the "Sons of Korhal" Revolutionary Guards of the Korhal Revolutionary Army. Its predecessor was once regarded as an extremely evil terrorist organization by the Tyranid Federation. Today, the Sons of Korhal are among the most fervent warriors in the Revolutionary Army, and they fight with a fearlessness comparable to the resocialized soldiers of Omega Squadron.

Amidst the roar of the heavy anti-aircraft cannons and Goliath armed robot artillery of the 17th Marine Brigade of the Atlas Wing, grizzly strategic bombers flew over the sky above the center of Tarsonis City, fully occupying air superiority. Launch a violent bombardment of the enemy positions below.

Huge craters appeared on the lawns of what was once the city's central park, kicking up large swaths of soil. In the flickering light of artillery fire, the glass of the skyscraper shattered with a bang.

An Atlas Wing major who is driving a Goliath armed robot is shuttled on the long night road, next to the towering Terra Sky Tower and Bennett Sky Tower.

He is a soldier of Tau Ceti system (a single star system in the constellation Ceti). He was born on a comet farm on the planet Typhon and grew up in a difficult environment. The parents who raised him both disappeared during an interstellar journey. It is said that they lost their way near a pulsar.

Major Valias was only sixteen when he joined the army. He lied about his age just to leave his hometown. Now, he is sent to this extremely distant chaotic galaxy under the orders of the reorganized United Earth Council.

The major has served for 14 years, during which time he has piloted the Goliath armed robot to fight Centaur rebels, dangerous intelligent alien races and other absurd and bizarre alien monsters. The medal on his body represents With the honors he has achieved.

Like many UED soldiers, Valias has a family of his own. He once had two wives, but neither marriage lasted long. His only concern was the daughter left behind by his first wife.

Valias still remembered that today was the day when his daughter was about to enter high school, but unfortunately he had already realized that he would never be able to return to her again.

The reliable Goliath armed robot stepped on the devastated land. It was really like a giant walking on the earth, and the Goliath of the Koprulu sector could only be regarded as a dwarf in front of it.

The fighting conditions here are more dangerous than the battlefields Major Wallias has experienced. All his subordinates and comrades-in-arms have died in this foreign country. This 2.3-kilometer-wide stretch was filled with mecha wreckage and soldier corpses. Gray and gold-red power armor flickered in and out under the light of artillery fire.

Destroying this elite force of Atlas were the Sons of Korhal, warriors clad in red-gold power armor who proudly adorned their armor with the Golden Wolf symbol and as many gold stars as they likely had related to military rank or service time.

The lands where the warriors who died here were born were tens of thousands of light years apart. They were not enemies who hated each other. They were even indifferent to each other's thoughts and opinions. They just fought to the death for their different positions.

Passing through an obstacle composed of a bunker and an alloy steel wall, Major Valias drove the Goliath robot forward.

This is the center of the war zone, and a large number of electromagnetic interference weapons have also affected the communication system of Valias's mecha. He can't figure out how many people are still alive in the army he originally belonged to.

They were routed, scattered, and routed by the Sons of Korhal. It is not that the UED soldiers have never seen rebels who are ignorantly superstitious or religiously fanatical, but it is the soldiers who firmly believe that they will win that scare their enemies the most.

Those fanatical revolutionary soldiers died on the eve of dawn, but it seemed that this was exactly what they were pursuing.

Valias actually didn't care how many revolutionary troops he had to kill. He had no deep hatred against the natives of the Koprulu Sector.

Suddenly, a giant bipedal mecha appeared in front. Compared with the Goliath armed robot, it was more like a Tarsonis space engineering construction vehicle with railguns and giant alloy steel shields installed on its two mechanical arms.

However, in places like Tarsonis, space engineering vehicles can be seen everywhere, but steel giants like this are rare.

Without any hesitation, Major Valias activated the heavy cannons on both arms of the Goliath robot. The slanted bullets were enough to turn a man wearing a modern body armor into a puddle of flesh, but the bullets that hit him were The mecha just made a clashing sound of gold and iron.

Tyranid weaponry advanced rapidly in the war against the zerg and protoss, faster than they had accomplished in the previous century of peace.

The bipedal mecha is undoubtedly more suitable for street fighting in cities like Tarsonis. It can easily pass through anti-tank trenches and reap the lives of any enemy like a god of death.

Amidst the hum of the servo system and the roar of the engine, the mecha on the opposite side quickly rushed towards Valias' Goliath after a burst of acceleration. It was a true giant, standing more than twenty feet tall when standing upright, and running with unstoppable momentum.

As Goliath's computer continued to calculate, a long list of data appeared in front of Valias - reinforced stainless steel armor, electromagnetic rail gun, and ram shield. This was a real war machine, The generator set that charges the electromagnetic railgun makes its bulging tower-shaped back more like a mechanical monster full of violent aesthetics.

"This is a lunatic." Valias' Goliath was battered and bruised, his alarm flashing. Even if this were not the case, Goliath was no match for this monster in a close-range conflict. Even so, the opponent's pilot still chose a close-range collision.

Goliath's 35mm cannon is completely useless against this heavy mecha, and its missile bay is already empty. Goliath's servo system is not enough to support it to fight like a flexible human being, and turning around and escaping is just a replacement. A cowardly way to die.

In an instant, the word "Warhound" on the mecha, the sexy pink-haired girl and the golden wolf logo on the girl's crotch were the last images Valias saw after he was knocked down: "I can come back again." To Earth?"

"Wow~ wow~ the protagonist always makes his final appearance."

Tychus Finley smashed the cockpit of the Goliath robot opposite him with the mechanical claws of the wolf, and had no time to worry about the life and death of the pilot - unless old Tychus lost his hand, no one would be able to get in touch with him. Standing still after a heavy blow from a Wolf Warrior.

"Occupy the former federal parliament building immediately, and move quickly." General Arcturus appeared from behind the wolf warriors. He waved his hand, and Kohal, wearing a gold-red power armor helmet with a wolf head emblem on his helmet, walked out from both sides. Son of a warrior.

"Fire at will, leaving no survivors."

The battle in this area is not over yet. There are still a large number of UED Atlas soldiers approaching here and preparing to retake the lost Port Aleksander. It does not look like there is no high-level commander to mobilize command.

"Didn't you say that Stukov has been caught? Why, who is commanding the Kronos and Atlas forces now?" Tychus asked Ah in the communication channel. cried Cturth.

"It's definitely not Stukov, but someone else." Arcturus said:

"This man is most likely the UED general who took down Braxis, the Dalarian Shipyards, and Tarsonis. It was he who regrouped the remaining Tarsonis defense forces and brought us the distant Exceeding expected casualties," he ordered.

"But the Son of Korhar will defeat him."

It turns out that the air conditioner drain pipe is blocked, emmmm
