StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

"Ah?"

This conversation ended with our Emperor Connie's "Ah?", and the other party just left a sentence "Brother is going to create" and never appeared again.

This is just like a conversation between comedians.

Oh, this is the most popular trend in Augustgrad nowadays. Probably every few hundred years, humans will dig out the popular elements of the past, refurbish, repackage, and resell them.

Emperor Augustus called this crosstalk. It is said that there has never been a touching opera epic in the Royal Opera House, only the emperor's endless jokes and the laughter of his old friends.

As mentioned earlier, others think that this conversation comes from Augustus VIII's delusion, which is obvious: he just lost his father, was overly sad, and was mentally ill. Also because no one except himself can prove that this conversation really existed, and in the end we don't know who the brain worm is.

It is said that the brain worm is immortal. If it really exists, who left this vicious and terrible monster in Khar.

(Remember, this brainworm was rudely interrupted before it finished announcing its name. Based on its way of speaking, I guess there will be other more sensational titles in the future, such as dog brainworm, Lanling laughing bug, and beautiful bug king)

In short, the clerk who recorded these conversations of Augustus VIII was very serious at first, and chose a page of good paper with gold leaf for written records so as to seal and preserve them.

Speaking of which, our dear Emperor Connie did not need to be so vivid when retelling, and he had to imitate the high-pitched eunuch voice of the brainworm. The clerk put down his pen from time to time, touched his head, and pulled his hair, as if a zombie had just visited his brain.

The poor imperial official had an extremely wonderful expression at the time, as if he heard the emperor reciting love poems to him.

Writing this, I found that I actually wrote a large section about the story of Augustus VIII in my homework. Well, who made me like him? My dog ​​is called Connie.

Professor An won't mind. She never looks at homework after class.

Many people don't know much about Augustus VIII, even though he is well-known, even though he is the founder of our third Mengsk dynasty, and even though he conquered the largest territory in the history of the Terran Empire.

Not only the enemy fears him, but even our own people are afraid of him. The people of the empire would rather talk about the tyrant Juan than the great-grandfather of our current emperor.

If anyone really sees this, I want to ask you a question in confusion: Augustus VIII, how did Connie Mengsk escape from the palace and establish a dynasty?

Here's a hint. The answer is among Augustus VIII's many titles: Insect Summoner, Insect Rider, Lord of Darkness.

Although we still don't know the name of the brainworm that day, the brainworm Sass does exist. It is an extremely ancient and powerful brainworm, one of the smartest known brainworms.

The swarm guards the country's gate, and the brainworm dies for the country.

On that day, in Korhal, the Zerg that had disappeared from the Milky Way for more than a thousand years returned again, and humans once again recalled their fear of them.

They came from a place that had never been noticed, the ocean of Korhal.

In addition, my classmate Lila always said that if you shoot a gun into the sky, the bullet will hit a Korhal person accurately.

But just over four hundred years ago, Korhal's cities and population were far less than they are now. It once had six continents and two oceans. It is said that even longer ago, standing at the highest point of the old town of Stilling, you can see the blue coastline, where the summer home of the Mengsk family is located. This beautiful white marble building is where Emperor Augustus was born. Now all Mengsks call it the ancestral home or the old house.

Of course, the real ancestral home has long been destroyed, and the current one is just an emperor's palace that has been expanded four times.

The Zerg appeared from the largest ocean on Korhal. Compared with it, the Fairy Lake, the largest artificial lake in Augustgrad, is just a small puddle with frogs.

This vast ocean was once vaporized by the apocalypse-class nuclear bomb of the old Federation, and then filled up again with wastewater full of radioactive dust.

It was not until many years later that the land and the ocean regained vitality. In order to commemorate the ocean in his childhood memories, the emperor established the largest ocean as a protected area, prohibiting any commercial development.

According to some urban legends at that time, children who often picked up shells on the beach could sometimes encounter huge alloy blades covered with blue patterns like Damascus knives, and some others were so big that they could be used to cut off armored vehicles.

Sometimes, fishermen who went deep into the ocean would catch some strange creatures that were ugly like monkfish and the size of calves. After research, it was clearly a highly aquatic subspecies of alien insects, but basically the next day, the Imperial Security Department and Ogbo agents who learned the news would come to take away the illegally captured "protected animals".

Of course, these trivial matters did not cause any big disturbances at the time. Normally, if UNN saw a rooster that laid eggs, they would be excited and cluck, as if it was its offspring. However, the pictures of alien monsters that were big news at any time were buried in the sea as soon as they entered the submission mailbox.

Now some people may think that hiding alien zerg at home is to invite tigers to defend themselves, but they are precisely the last army of Korhal willing to fight for the Empire.

On this day, 10 million have evolved with giant eyes, porous epidermis, light -emitting organs, poisonous spiny, and multi -pairs of fins.

Then there are hundreds of millions of flying worms that can fly. They come from the incubation pool in the deep sea. The skin is humid but extremely hard. Most of them are like sea monsters depicted by navigators, deep, terrible, and big as mountains. Some of them are like giant sea snakes, some are like big fish or flying dragons full of stinging fish, and the biggest ones are giant whales like swallowing the freighter.

The finale is Lvatin -the size is more than two or three times more than the end of the war. It is difficult to imagine how rich Kha's ocean is to raise so many behemoths.

Many years later, the empire scientist found the answer from the specimen of a aquatic worm: part of its genome was highly consistent with the remains of Salnaga in Urner. Sas admitted that "they" had gained the gift of God, and "they" had spiritual power.

On this day, the observation stations set up on the Coca and the planet's orbit were in a mad hysteria. On the control panel of each biomain, motion detector, and sensor, the red light spots made of alien life signals converge are like the bubbles in the beer bottle.

All artificial intelligence computer databases are awakened by the parts of the insects. They send a warning sound like a machine screaming loudly because of fear.

The soldiers who were on duty were called and jumped, and shouted, "It's a strange worm! It's an insect! Call the fleet! Call the fleet!"

But the fleet was panicked as they were.

We haven't understood it until now. If the Empire had such a killer, why did they have to wait until Kaha had fallen for many years, and they couldn't always forget this matter.

The Earth's largest and best warships are now in the Galaxy. They have a large resident fleet in Kha: 6,000 designable J -star warships that can destroy the colonies on a single ship, and there are 40,000 to 50,000 motherships. With countless warships, there are countless auxiliary vessels. Even the smallest warships can easily kill the most imperial warships in the era of Augustus as like wiping off the dust on the shoes. Essence

Except for the Dalam Star, there was no known non -earth federal fleet at that time to compete with it.

Kha was once known as the most stronger fortress of the Tyron Empire, but after Alexander Dugal won it without a soldier, all the empire fleets who tried to recapture their capital world never could never cross across the way Step by the shield of the sky.

Since the last time I tried to recapture the Empire Navy Marshal, the Marshal of the Empire Navy has been sinking here and breaking off the final Imperial Fleet. This galaxy has not erupted a decent large -scale naval battle for more than 30 years. Never set off.

Therefore, although Kha's earth army does not neglect his duties, it is inevitable to take it lightly.

At that time, three -quarters of the Earth fleet were stationed in the port anchor on the Kazakhstan space orbit, and a quarter was cruised around the Kha galaxy. The farthest one was half -light year.

This is understandable. Since a large number of fleets are alerting peripherals and the largest rail defense facilities ever as a barrier, the Earth people do not have to let all warships in the port always keep their staff and ample supplies.

At the same time, the numbers on the paper are only on the paper. A considerable part of the warships in this stationed fleet are undergoing maintenance, repair and weapons upgrades. The number of soldiers left behind in the warships has not been in dock workers.

In this regard, the Tyrone and the fleet soldiers of the Earth are the same. As long as there is a chance, even if there are urban entertainment facilities in their warships, these people would rather run on the land to drink inferior wine, and the air contaminated by breathing will not wait on the deck even for a minute.

As mentioned earlier, Kha hasn't fought for 30 years. For soldiers who have been here for a long time, this is a peaceful time of 30 years. This time was enough to have a 20 -year -old fleet soldier since he was a child to become old -fashioned fritters, and the veteran who participated in the last Kha battle had retired.

That day, as usual, the occupation soldiers who took a holiday were drunk in the bar in Augustradler, not saving personnel, and those who woke up were busy robbery and prostitutes. Enjoy feasts in luxury hotels and top clubs, and fight with girls in the local upper society, and eyebrows.

According to historical records, when the commanders of the same bare buttocks pushed their subordinates from the bed of the imperial army widow, these people called louder than women. Not to mention other more embarrassing things, some imperial people may not like to listen.

According to the memories of a senior staff of the Earth Navy, more than 10,000 warships were neatly stopped in the port. There were too few people on top of the port and lacked combatants. It is enough for our enemies to concentrate the firepower and kill them like wearing the meat on the skewers. At that time, as long as one of each of the three warships could immediately invest in the battle, it was God's grace. It was already defeated.

They never dreamed that the enemy would attack from the inside of the planet, directly below them.

If the enemy attacked from the front of Sky Shield, they would only see a super interstellar fortress armed to the teeth with countless point defense arrays, space-time fragmentation devices, high-energy cannons and missile nests. Every corner you can see is densely interwoven with impregnable defense lines. Sky Shield's void shield is enough to withstand the power that can destroy the planet. If a warship is to be armed with such a configuration, it must be at least as large as Korhal.

But if you attack from the bottom of Sky Shield, it will be much simpler. How do you deal with a hedgehog or a turtle? The best way is to turn it over and attack the relatively vulnerable abdomen.

In most cases, this is impossible. No matter how fast the ship is, it is impossible to avoid the terrible firepower of Sky Shield and go around to the back.

The entire galaxy is full of super-time and space interference devices set up by the earthlings, so the possibility of launching a surprise attack through short-distance jumps is also locked.

But whether it was a coincidence or premeditated, the Zerg avoided the dense defensive firepower of the Sky Shield and ruthlessly crushed all the human troops who tried to resist them.

At that time, the commander of this fleet was not Dugal Alexander, but another marshal under him, Melvin Porter, but no commander could do better than Porter in this situation.

Porter was getting up and putting on socks when the war just started. Three and a half minutes later, he began to issue orders in the fleet-wide channel, but by then they had already lost.

Porter ordered every ship in the port to be driven away as much as possible, and recalled all the fleets outside to regroup the troops and launch a counterattack.

But at this time, the super-time and space interference device was more of a hindrance. The warships scattered in various anchorages could only rely on their thrusters to slowly "crawl" to the assembly point, and the patrol fleet that hurried back to Korhal was encircled by the Zerg one after another and was then eaten up.

The hastily assembled Earth fleet was divided, defeated, and slaughtered without suspense like pigs waiting to be slaughtered. The Earth warships parked in the port exploded one after another and turned into burning scrap metal.

As Walter G. Green wrote in the book: The Earthlings screamed all night until they bled dry. After the Zerg left, the sun was able to rise again from the Sky Shield, and there was a purgatory under the sun.

When the Zerg ran over the Sky Shield and an entire Earth fleet like a truck ran over the bugs, another equally large ground nest was attacking Augustgrad - but this was not a war at all. It was actually a one-sided massacre, a real carpet massacre.

There were quite a few regular troops in Augustgrad, but more than half of them were sleeping. When the rest tried to resist, they found that most of the weapons of mass destruction that could really threaten the Zerg were still locked in the armory.

On the contrary, the local security forces and the Earth's puppet army organized some effective resistance, but they only made a small splash in the tide of the Zerg, which was not noticeable at all.

Let's talk about our Emperor Connie Mengsk. When the Zerg arrived, he was as frightened as everyone else, not knowing that it was actually his own Zerg that came. The guard at the door ran away after saying that the Zerg were coming, and the poor prisoners who were still locked up were all scared and screaming.

Most people should have escaped in the chaos at this time, but Connie was still lying on the bed waiting to die. Don't forget, this guy is the most powerful psyker in more than two thousand years except Queen Sarah Kerrigan. If he wants, he can tear a 20-foot thick wall like tearing paper.

But Connie doesn't know how powerful he is. All the education he has received is just to restrain his power and not let it hurt others around him.

The power of this family is so strong that its founder Patrick is more worried that his descendants will abuse it too much. If Patrick wanted a person's head to explode, to break his limbs, to break him apart like a rotten tomato crushed by a car, he could do it immediately with just a thought.

Connie's father, Ulysses, could actually fly.

Ulysses could rise into the air like a light feather on the heat of a furnace, but the greatest thing he ever did with this ability was to send a baby bird home after it fell from its nest.

No one had yet taught Connie how to shape his terrible psychic power into a form that could cut a skyscraper in half or boil an entire lake. Furthermore, the upper limit of psychic power was enough to split a warship and boil the blood of tens of thousands of people like boiling milk.

In short, Connie had the power of space and time but didn't know how to use it. He just wanted to see Emperor Augustus as soon as possible. He swore in his heart that if his ancestors had pity on him, they would take him away quickly, otherwise they would give him the power to subvert the world.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Augustus did not accept his unfilial descendants, and slapped back the damn thing that was trying to cheat his ancestors.

However, unexpectedly, the first people who came to rescue him were not the brainworm Sass's troops, but an imperial princess holding a key.

This princess was the only daughter of Angus VIII and his first queen. Since her mother died, she has been neglected. Not only was she deliberately ignored by her family, but even the prison guards who guarded the royal family allowed her to walk around in the palace.

I have to say, why no cute princess rescued me from this cage -like college life.

Imagine that the princess was really beautiful, with the gray -haired gray eyes of the Mosque family. She looked at you helplessly while holding the keys to the guard, and wiped tears in fear, shaking like a puppy in the water.

This is Rachel Mosque. The Montansk family is a wolf family and a group of lions, but Rachel is a white woman like a lamb. She is the queen of the third dynasty of Mosch in the future.

(I have to say that more than a thousand years have passed, and these two families are rarely marrying. Their relationship is actually far away. The people in this big book are purely found to find faults)

However, the princess did not make a special trip to save Connie. The Emperor Connie hadn't had such a big face, and the other party didn't know him at all.

In addition to Connie, there are also princess relatives who are not safe enough (just these people rushed to escape, not even grateful, ironic that they did not survive later). In the end, the only person who was rescued was a polite.

"Thank you, but do you know how we can escape?" Connie thought she had any way, such as a shuttle that could take them away from Kha.

There are really shuttles, but they have been drove away. If Princess Rachel did not come to save these people, she may be able to grab a position.

Just as the Emperor August VIII wrote it on her tombstone: The first -class stupid woman of the Galaxy, the first good woman in the galaxy.

"Wait for death." Connie rushed to both hands.

"Ah?" The stupid woman just "ah?".

The Emperor Connie did not wait to die. The Emperor was just used to being frightened, but it didn't mean that he would really confess his fate. He was the kind of people who shouted our army to defeat and chopped the enemy to defeat the army.

However, some people who are born lazy think that they can solve everything as long as they start to work, but they are often not satisfactory. Unfortunately, Connie was such a person. He led Princess Rachel for a long time in the palace. He failed to find anything that could fly other than flies. In the end, he could only admit that he was an idiot without a brain.

Fortunately, the insects were originally sent by Sas to save him.

These unicorn and feet on their feet can easily tear the throat of a group of guards, but in Connie, they are as docile as loyal dogs. He took a step, and all the worms were on the ground, for the Lord of the Darkness, the future monarch of the Tyron Empire.

The emperor later recalled: Sas, a dog, could have notified me in advance, but it wanted to give me a horse, and it was best to scare me.

It almost succeeded, the ancestors blessed, I hung up in the crotch.

Go through the relevant files that have been decrypted and find a part of the brain insect Sas, you will see such a sentence: Sas, the second personality of the Tyron Empire.

Sas is a bad temper. It looks like the mentor who is looking for your stubble. He kept pointed at a moment, and his mother was like a nagging, as if he could do better with your buttocks.

Coincidentally, Connie is not a master who can swallow the voices. These two encounters together as a pair of perfect match, chess everywhere.

In the memoir of Lieutenant General Paul (once served as the deputy of Augustus VIII), a similar dialogue is common to visible:

"Augustus is a great victory. If you don't mind, I have to point out the 120 mistakes you commit in this battle to avoid re -committing in the future."

"Sorry, you don't deserve to point out my mistake."

"His Majesty, unintentionally offended, maybe I should let Abash transform you well, increase muscle density, and expand brain tissue structure. Or, the brain with a large walnut is enough to humans."

"I think you are a maggot, you are going to the sky."

"It's gratifying, my Majesty, congratulations, if I couldn't stop the anti -material bomb in time, you already died worthless like a plastic pork in the dung pit."

"You save me, Sas, thank you, your mother lives (from the 14th of the" Augustus Emperor "quotation)."

"Connie, if she is a strange worm, then Abbas can resurrect her with her essence. But unfortunately, she is not. "" "

"No, that's it, that's it."

"Sas, my father told me that Augustus took away the soul of all his friends and relatives -they lived in a world of heaven. Since then, all the upright and kind Mosque will reach the realm of the void after his death. My mother is there, and our family will be reunited there.

"I haven't heard of this kind of thing. The door of the void has been closed for more than a thousand years. This kind of thing may be, it is like a legend of dwarfs, fairy and dragons."

Which pot does not open, but many people believe that this conversation is to promote the Galaxy Empire that Augustus VIII is established and find a childhood illusion that does not exist at all.

The book is positively.

Connie was finally taken to a Levitan in Sasas, oh, Princess Rachel was also taken away.

This story is quite cliché, the story of the last descendant of the dynasty who bore the hatred of his father's murder and the princess who carried the hatred of the loss of her country saving each other.

However, the person who saved the princess was not riding a white horse, but a Zerg.

After taking down the Sky Shield without any suspense, the Zerg swarm of Sass left, leaving the frightened Earthlings to gather the remnants and sneak out of Korhal in disgrace.

A few days later, another Earth fleet that came to reinforce recaptured the completely undefended Korhal, because the original defenders were so scared that they refused to step into Korhal again.

I believe that many people have heard of the story after this. After escaping from death, Augustus VIII seemed to have become a different person, becoming strong and reliable. He finally raised the banner of the Mengsk royal family, recruited soldiers, and raised an army of rebels.

Of course, at the beginning, Connie's men were not even a mob, and were even worse than the group of people in his father's living room. He had all kinds of people under his command, including pirates who wanted to whitewash themselves, unemployed miners, students who had given up their studies and joined the army, and former imperial veterans over fifty years old.

At the beginning, Connie had no money to pay these people's wages, until a ghost gold merchant named Frank Santo saw that he was a big shot and funded a small sum of money.

This was the most cost-effective investment since the establishment of the Second Dynasty by the Reconqueror Arcturus.

When Connie gradually gained some reputation (the news of the return of the Zerg could not fail to cause a sensation), more and more capable and righteous people came to him, including General Charles Wells and Prime Minister Duval Williams mentioned earlier.

However, these people also brought some bad news.

Azura Terra is dead. You may not have much impression of this girl. Let me say that she is probably Connie's childhood sweetheart. In Connie's eyes, Azura is definitely different from others, but he may never understand what this feeling is in his life.

The Terra family is a huge family with influence throughout the empire. The successive patriarchs of this family were staunch supporters of the emperor of the empire, but in the generation of Angus VIII, the Terra family surrendered to the Earth Federation to save themselves.

This was not considered a betrayal in the eyes of people at that time. After all, even the emperor surrendered. Did they have to die for the empire of the Mengsk family?

However, no matter what the purpose was, there were still some people in the Terra family who were loyal to the empire. Azura's parents were one of them. This family had been rooted in Korhal for hundreds of years and was the most powerful branch family at that time except for the main family of Tarsonis.

Later, when the new dynasty liquidated the Terra family, they almost uprooted them, but spared this branch of Korhal.

I have never met Azura, but I know that she is a very smart girl with black hair and black eyes, very different from Connie. She is the so-called natural leader.

Azura is only two or three years older than Connie, but she has already started to manage the family business for her father, and she has done better than him.

This is probably what happened. Azura was in Augustgrad when the Zerg attacked the city. She contacted a group of ghost agents who were still loyal to the Empire in the name of her father (strictly speaking, this cannot be considered a betrayal), and spent a great deal of money and risk to transport these people into the city so that they could go to the palace to break out of the prison.

Of course, the condition was to get Connie Mengsk out at the same time, which was a trivial matter.

In Connie's impression, Azura was extremely smart, but this time she made a stupid mistake. When Augustgrad was in chaos, Azura immediately sent out the ghosts. There was no doubt that this was a great opportunity to rush into the palace. Normally, no matter how many people there were, they would die.

When Korhal just fell, people who tried to rush into the palace to rescue the emperor died in large numbers, but no one succeeded. Later, there were fewer and fewer such people, so much so that there is still a proverb in Augustgrad that if you want to die, go to the palace.

No one will ever know what Azula was thinking, but it is certain that she spent ten times more effort than defeating a hostile family to find out that Connie was still alive, and she must be the only person in the world who was desperate to save him.

In short, the people she kept around were definitely not enough to protect herself.

Connie never mentioned Azula, and did not allow anyone to mention it. Nothing hurt him so deeply.

This was not Connie's fault, and of course it had nothing to do with Sass.

Sass swore that it would never attack civilians, and if it did, it would be sucked dry by the Xel'Naga artifact (although it is not clear, but it must be a great oath for the brain worm).

But it was too chaotic at the time, and Azula did not choose to leave by private shuttle. This was a wise decision, because most of the private aircraft that crashed that day were shot down by their own anti-aircraft firepower.

The problem was with the family guards who protected Azula, and it was not their fault. Even the most well-trained soldiers would find it difficult to resist shooting when a large group of insects approached. What will a girl do when she sees a cockroach? Either scream or kill it. This is the human instinct to deal with fear.

If you have a younger brother, it would be better, but the swarm is not a cockroach, and it is useless to ask for help outside the field.

At this point, there is actually room for recovery. The swarm is known for its efficient killing, and SARS is the best at this. It usually doesn't waste time slaughtering civilians unless they are recklessly blocking the swarm's way.

However, by chance, there was a group of Earth troops who were being killed by the Zerg nearby. When they saw someone in the Terra Sky Tower "reaching out to help", they immediately rushed over like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

Confusedly, Azura and his men suddenly began to resist the Zerg's attack with the Earthlings, just like you jumped onto a sinking ship.

(This is not surprising. The Zerg attacked Augustgrad, not Rome and Venice. You would naturally regard the Zerg invading your home as an enemy and the Earthlings as allies.)

The tragedy happened. Azura did not die at the hands of the Zerg. She was hit by a stray bullet. Of course, the Zerg do not use bullets. This was a friendly fire - a family guard missed the target when shooting, or simply said that he was too far away, and it was not his fault. This man was loyal and brave, willing to block the bullet for Azura, but he was scared by the Zerg and peed his pants at that time, and his hands were shaking badly.

The Zerg do not use bullets.

This is the battlefield. Even a gunshot is not so accurate. People die in all kinds of strange ways.

The bullet that hit Azula hit her head, cut off her nose, and smashed half of her face. Imagine cutting her photo in half along the diagonal line.

Have you heard of this thing? It is said that many casualties of the Marines are not from the enemy, but from the accidental injuries of siege tanks. Of course, the Empire has not used siege tanks for many, many years. We have much better things, but as long as the shells are fired, they may still hit our own people.

Anyway, in the end, those ghosts didn't save anyone. They all died in the palace. Azula died too, but Angus VIII and Connie were still alive.

For Connie personally, Azula's death was undoubtedly a huge blow, but there was something that hit his career even harder.

On the first night, five or six million people died in Augustgrad. When people dug out countless corpses from the collapsed buildings and pieced them together, and when the seriously injured who survived the first night died in the following days, the number increased dozens of times.

As mentioned earlier, there were too many people in Korhal.

The Zerg should bear the blame, but I still have to say that as long as someone is willing to look through some of the information at that time, they can find that most of the dead have no traces of Zerg bites or acid corrosion on their bodies. Their direct cause of death was a large number of accidental attacks, fires that burned for several days and nights in the city, and fusion warheads that accidentally fell in densely populated areas.

Needless to say, the earthlings attributed all the deaths and injuries to the Zerg. After all, it was the Zerg who started it first. After all, no one would have thought that the Zerg started the war just for a kid locked in the palace. After all, the Zerg would not argue.

Later, everyone knew that the Zerg reappeared in response to Connie's call, and he was the only one in the world who could control the Zerg.

There is no doubt that he is a scourge, a disaster, and a damned avenger.

Thirty years ago, the Earthlings killed more Imperial soldiers, but in comparison, the Imperials were still more afraid of the Zerg.

Well, the bad reputation started from here, and this may not be a bad thing for a conqueror.

Every monarch must want people to praise him for his kindness rather than condemn him for his cruelty. Although Caesar Borgia was considered cruel, he unified Romagna with cruelty.

It is best for a great monarch to be loved and respected by people, and Augustus the Great did this.

Some people say that you have to reach the level of Augustus the Great to be honored as the Great Emperor, but it is too difficult to do both at the same time. Being able to do one of them is enough to be recorded in history.

It is easy to lower the standard. Either be a good person all your life, or do bad things, or make people love you, or make people fear you to death.

If you are loved, people who are grateful will naturally be willing to bleed for you. But think about it, we humans are like this, with a large number and a short lifespan, so most of them are short-sighted, indecisive, and ungrateful.

In the eyes of these people, those who are loved are mostly kind, and another meaning of kindness is weakness, which means that you can betray at will.

No one doesn't want to be loved, but it is indeed difficult to do. Relatively speaking, it is much easier to make people fear you, and you can take the initiative in your own hands instead of hoping that people will be grateful.

There are many ways to buy people's hearts. It is not necessary to talk about ideals. Promising benefits is the most direct and effective. At the same time, you must make them fear you and consider the cost of betrayal. Secondly, it is best to make your enemies tremble when they hear your name, and unconsciously fear the outcome of defeat.

The swarm is the embodiment of fear. For Connie, he has no way not to make people afraid, and he can only go all the way.

For conquering the world, loyalty gained by fear is very fragile, but he just needs to keep winning and win to the end.

As the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of the shod. Anyway, since Connie really raised a decent army and had the support of the Zerg, he used the fleet as a base to attack the scattered Earth Federation fleets everywhere. They attacked cities, looted supplies, and ran away after the fight, never staying for long.

The Earth fleet that came to put out the fire basically came up empty-handed every time. Those who could catch up could not beat them, and those who could beat them could not catch up.

Connie didn't know how to control the strength at the beginning, but later he became more skilled, even taking off his pants and running for his life.

Later, the rebels' days became better and better, just like advertising, as long as the name is loud enough, there will always be people willing to buy it.

Although the identity of the descendants of Emperor Augustus and Queen Sarah Kerrigan is no longer as popular as before, it is still more effective than any other claim. In addition, Connie still has Princess Rachel as a card to play - the only free former royal family member.

The shipping giant Angel Family was the second to bet on the new emperor. They sent Connie a large number of cargo ships filled with a full set of materials that could transform these ships into raiders. Then Grayson and Hobart Group moved several obsolete civilian production lines to quickly transform the looted resources into armor and mecha. The Umoyan people hoped to establish an independent country, so they also invested a large sum of money.

You may ask, at this time, what about the famous Alexander Dugar, who was the one who destroyed the Terran Empire thirty years ago.

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one bar!

This brings up the relationship between Earthlings and us Terrans. Humans, a great and stupid race.

At that time, Dugar had actually retired for many years, and many of his capable subordinates had also retired, either retreating to the second line or disappearing from the world. Instead, the most mediocre people under his command at that time were in control of the army.

In the power struggle, there was no strong enemy outside, so they fought each other internally, fighting to the death. Anyway, it was impossible for them to work together.

If Dugar had not been highly respected in the army and the people, he would have been finished like the people behind him.

When the various factions in the Earth United Council could unite because of a common enemy, they could ignore identity prejudices and class status, and put the real heroes on the stage. When the dust settled, they would kick him away like a drowned dog without hesitation.

In fact, Dugar was only 69 years old. People in high positions have many ways to prolong their lives, and his brain is far from being old and dim.

Oh, Emperor Augustus said that thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, don't bully the young and poor, now thirty years have passed, and it's our enemy's turn to be stupid.

The courage and glory of humans can make the Protoss feel ashamed, but they are also very stupid.

At this time, the generals of the Earth Federation have been replaced several times, and the council is full of new faces.

In fact, if you have to say it, the Earthlings always feel that we Terrans are taking history backwards and want to establish feudal monarchy in the interstellar era. If they are all wise monarchs, it's fine, but if there are tyrants, it's all over. I don't deny this.

However, the fact that the elephants drowned does not mean that the donkeys will definitely swim. The people as a group may not necessarily not make mistakes, and the leaders they elect may not all be better than tyrants.

Most of the people around me are good people, or not too bad. At least they have all experienced compulsory education in the empire. Using this set of people to form a team should be enough to manage an immigrant community, but most of them don't really care about politics. Some people don't even recognize all the candidates for parliament in their constituencies. The people they elect may not be able to take care of a public toilet.

Of course, this is a personal opinion. My family is considered a royal family, and my butt is crooked.

In other words, the United Earth Council has changed a group of people on the surface, but the real power holders are still the same people from thirty years ago. They once defeated the Empire (of course, they have to take credit for it. Without them, Dugar would still be a farmer, and the swordsman would still be a human), and now they will not make a fuss about this little thing.

Well, the Zerg may be a big trouble, but their number is not large. Compared with the Zerg in its heyday, the Zerg of Sass is just a small branch nest.

The disastrous defeat of Korhal should be attributed to the lax military discipline and the dereliction of duty of the generals, which is also the final conclusion of the Council. The enemy succeeded by sneak attack, so let the Earth fleet make full preparations and set up a head-on confrontation. The outcome is still unknown.

And they have at least fifty such fleets, one-third of which are stationed in the homeland, one-third in the Empire, and the rest are almost the maximum mobile forces that can be mobilized, enough to deal with a few buzzing bugs.

War means military merit. No matter what, Augustus Constance Mengsk did give the Earth Federation a wake-up call. The first one to ride in a sedan chair (said by Emperor Augustus, don't ask me what a sedan chair is).

Without Dugar, can't their generals and marshals accomplish anything?

The generals who commanded the fleet all felt that they were no worse than Dugar. Everyone was eager to make merit and vowed to avenge Korhal. If these people still couldn't solve the problem, then they would invite Dugar back.

If the situation was really urgent, the most powerful person in the Council would personally visit and apologize, even kneeling down.

But it definitely couldn't be now.

Unfortunately, the generals of the Earth Federation were definitely not all useless, but judging from their battle records, we can only conclude that few of them were normal people.

The second major defeat of the Earth Federation occurred a year after the Battle of Korhal, when Connie Mengsk was 15 years old.

In Eta Ursa Minor, the Earth Federation Navy assembled an invincible fleet, which was five times the size of the garrison of Korhal. The commander of this fleet was Maurice Cecil. When Alexander Dugar invaded Korhal, he was just a combat staff officer who was temporarily inserted until the last minute.

There is a long-standing consensus on Maurice Cecil's military level. It is generally acknowledged that he is barely a qualified fleet commander. In peacetime, such a person can complete all orders from above, but when it comes to making decisions, he will make many mistakes.

Another view is that Cecil's talent has been seriously underestimated. In hindsight, his judgment of the situation was very accurate, and the orders he issued were completely correct and reasonable at the time, and there would not even be any better options.

In fact, after realizing that his side was about to be surrounded and annihilated and there was no hope of breaking out, Cecil immediately ordered to cut off the tail and survive. This word is not quite accurate, it should be a fight to the death.

This method was Cecil's own idea and has never appeared in any military academy textbook. Simply put, Cecil ordered the fleet to charge desperately, ready to detonate the antimatter engine as soon as it rushed into the insect swarm and perish with the enemy.

The Zerg's encirclement was almost impenetrable, and although the Zerg were all flesh and blood, they were harder and more reliable than steel. As long as they could block and eat this human army, they would rather use their bodies to fill the gun holes than give in.

However, they gave in at that moment anyway, because the brain worm Sass made a shrewd calculation in one thousandth of the time. Anyway, these people would not survive, so there was no need to sacrifice the Zerg that they had accumulated with great effort. They could just wait for them to explode.

So the Zerg, which was originally tightly packed and dense, dispersed, and the encirclement became weak. The remaining Earth fleet rushed out with great effort, and used all their strength to shake off a large part of the enemy and warp away from the battlefield.

Cecil almost succeeded. During the Battle of Korhal, an Earth warship used this trick to destroy the engine switch. The person who designed this thing was either a psychopath or a lunatic. As a soldier, you definitely don't want to serve on a warship with a self-destruction program, so only the captain and a few of his men know about this, and the verification process for turning it on is more complicated than applying to destroy a colony.

But Sass definitely didn't know that this thing can be turned on and off, and it turns out that you can hold back your shit when you're halfway through.

However, just when Cecil's flagship was about to escape the battlefield, a man led a group of soldiers who were as crazy as him and hated the earthlings as much as he rushed in on a boarding boat. It's incredible, just like the close combat between the ancient Greeks and Persians in the Battle of Salamis thousands of years ago.

Sass was about to go crazy.

Imagine a fat worm jumping back and forth like a fish on the shore. This action is not easy for a brain worm with excessive physiological degeneration.

It screamed madly: Legends are not true. Maybe Jim Raynor would do such a thing, but Augustus Mengsk never did that. The dog emperor did not charge into battle. He wore power armor when fighting with others. He moved his hands like a gangster, and was proficient in spreading lime, stepping on toes and poking eyes.

(That's probably what it meant. The original text was much more serious, but I don't have ready-made information. You know, Sass never said a joke, but it must have said damn Augustus, son of a bitch Augustus, fuck Augustus, what the hell are you doing, I'm going to feed you to Abathur)

What is the most maddening thing: The bastard who knows your embarrassing things can live like a thousand-year-old bastard.

But Augustus Constance Mengsk is really as brave and fearless as the Emperor Augustus in novels, biographies and mythological operas, kicking tanks with his feet and tearing Vikings with his hands.

On Cecil's flagship, Connie killed hundreds of Earth soldiers by himself. Some say it was thousands or tens of thousands. That's not right. It's too scary. Are they still human? Or they are just acting in a movie. These people are wearing armor, and one person can deal with the entire history department of the Imperial University.

In some versions that circulated later, the death of Maurice Cecil was portrayed as extremely romantic. The playwright said that at the last moment, Augustus VIII and Cecil stood on a mountain of corpses of each other's soldiers, facing each other, exchanged swords, saluted, and recited eight long poems before the winner was decided.

In fact, it's not that complicated. First of all, Cecil has no psychic power, let alone being powerful. Secondly, he died very carelessly.

This move even has an official name, called Crushing Grip. Connie used psychic power to crush several Earth soldiers who rushed towards him together with the iron jaws on their heavy armor, just like using pliers to crush walnuts - Cecil was among them. He wore a helmet and did not give his name as soon as he opened his mouth like in the play.

Afterwards, Sass shut up. He reluctantly admitted that Connie did a good job and told him not to do such a stupid thing next time.

We all know it, but Connie didn't listen.

Judging from the results, Cecil dealt a heavy blow to the Zerg, so much so that they did not appear again for eight months after the battle. Moreover, he saved a considerable number of warships, which is no exaggeration to say that it was millions of lives and millions of families after that. But the Council only needs victory, not to stop losses in time.

They don't accept failure.

It's hard for an outsider like me to explain this kind of thing clearly. Some people insist that he should have walked into that damn trap from the beginning (they think that fighting is like hopscotch, the enemy draws a circle on the ground, and then our people jump in), which is enough to negate everything.

That's right, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, and the loser is only worthy of being criticized by us, the future generations who know nothing.

If the Council needed a hero and a martyr to boost morale at that time, they would have declared Cecil the reincarnation of a saint.

But unfortunately, almost no one knew about this battle at that time. The Federation Navy treated this incident as if it did not exist. The families of the dead soldiers always thought that their husbands, sons, brothers and sisters were still alive. Some people did not realize that something had happened until the enemy had reached their doorsteps (this is easy to guess. The Federation fleet was winning victory after victory, but the battle line was running all the way to the solar system).

This homework is too long, and I am definitely not good at telling stories. I forgot to mention how Cecil was surrounded by the Zerg in η Ursa Minor.

During the Battle of the Brood - the era of Emperor Augustus, it sounds long enough. At that time, the Earthlings fought against the Zerg, but their expeditionary force did not send back any useful news after the defeat. After more than a thousand years, the Earth has never dealt with the Zerg again.

Inexperience.

Let's put it this way, the Earthlings trusted their own detection methods too much and hastily concluded that the Zerg would not rack their brains to interfere like the Imperials did. The person who discovered this was a soldier, a communications soldier, named Arthur J. Madrid. There are only so many records about this person, and no one knows his fate later.

A little detail, people say, details determine success or failure.

Later, things were easier to handle. Connie told this idea to Sass, and Sass handed the matter over to Abathur, and Abathur did it properly. Soon, the Zerg swarm had a new variant that could create a cloud of microorganisms that adhered to other Zerg. This cloud could make a large group of Zerg look smaller and fewer in number on human detectors.

Simple, but effective.

I forgot to say who Abathur was. Abathur, the evolutionary master of the Zerg swarm, a unique existence among the Zerg, and a self-contained entity in the classification subject. It is obsessed with the study of the genetic structure of the Zerg, and is dedicated to creating excellent genes. Its lifelong pursuit runs through it all - to make the Zerg perfect.

It may be difficult to understand. For example, God created the world, created various animals, including fish and birds, as well as livestock, insects and beasts, and then created humans to make the world a little more difficult.

Abathur is the god of the swarm.

No one knows how Abathur came about. Legend has it that he was created by the Overmind, but later on, no one knows what happened. Anyway, Abathur's master is now Sass.

In other words, Sass is God's master, and God's master's master is Connie Mengsk.

I'm getting off topic again.

With new weapons, the war is easy to fight. The one who gave Connie advice was the future Imperial Prince Valerian Jupiter Mengsk, a distant branch of Prince Valerian's lineage, a distant relative of distant relatives. By Jupiter's generation, their family had long lost their titles, and the previous generations were all doing business, and no one mentioned the glorious days of their ancestors.

In Eta Ursa Minoris, Maurice Cecil's fleet captured a swarm of millions of swarms (of course, this swarm did not use microbial swarms, so they were still the same on the probe). Since the Battle of Korhal, all the soldiers on Earth have been eager to avenge their previous humiliation. As the saying goes, if the generals and commanders are of one mind, the three armies will fight for their lives. They did a good job of encircling and annihilating the Zerg.

Cecil's soldiers were really happy for a while. No one did not want to pursue the victory.

The Earthlings soon got what they wanted. Not long after, the second group of Zerg came to take revenge. There were many of them, and they seemed evenly matched, but as long as they had courage and determination, no enemy could not be defeated.

This would be a direct confrontation that the Council wanted, which was fair.

But in fact, the enemies who came this time were much more than they thought, and they were as vast as the sea of ​​​​clouds. The terrible thing was that it was too late when they discovered this.

The third major defeat of the Earth Federation was in Pisces Rho. At that time, Connie was 19 years old and had already become a great leader. He had fought hundreds of battles in fragments and had never lost. He was called the Red-haired Augustus, the Bug Emperor, and the Uncivilized Beast by his enemies, either fearfully or contemptuously. It was rumored that he liked to tear people apart alive and eat their hearts and livers.

It was also during this period that the Council watched Connie's troops grow stronger over the four years. They had never expected that the bandit army would become stronger and stronger, from a mob to a well-trained armed thug, from a large group of thugs to a regular imperial army using standard armor and orthodox warships.

To be honest, although the empire had been destroyed for many years, many of the good things she left behind were still there:

I may have said that the administrative efficiency of the empire at that time was already quite low, and smart and capable people were ordered by rubbish to do stupid things. Every position in the government was crowded with people, but there were fewer people who really did things than lice on a fish. Bloated, corrupt, and the most serious problem was extravagance and waste, and unrestrained squandering of productivity and taxation.

Take the Imperial military for example, their favorite thing to do is to spend a lot of military funds to buy useless garbage, and sell the best military products at garbage prices. Stupid, right? But it's okay, no matter how much military funds are, they are public funds, and what's in your pocket is yours.

Let me tell you a trick that the top officials of the Imperial military are good at, they buy things based on kickbacks, it doesn't matter if the things are good or not, as long as they are good enough to fool the civil service system of Korhal (it's easy to be such a bad guy, steal the walking stick of the blind, cheat the money of the deaf, and these bureaucrats happen to be deaf and blind).

Of course, it is usually sub -products and waste, or the waste, or the equipment has been announced behind a generation as soon as the equipment was bought. However, the other party does not support the return. Well, let's save things, and sooner or later, we will use it. Then these things were forgotten. Until the people who watched the warehouse found Connie and said, "You guess what, no one pays me salary for thirty years. Let's, your surname is Monc. "

Of course, there are no good goods in it. At least the earth people must not be able to see it, but it is enough to kill and set fire.

For example, the previous generation of power armor that is not used (CMC2000, an old antique or older, there may be a three -digit number of cultural relics) -the is full of countless warehouses, oh, these warehouses originally have other names, such as unused planets Fortress, Star Fortress, Military Rail Space Station.

They have to use the firepower at the level of the fleet to be bombarded. Most of the locations are very remote. They are so remote that they are unwilling to patronize even if they pick up trash, so like the treasures sinking into the bottom of the sea, waiting for Kangnie This happens to have the permissions to open the safe to open the safe.

Sometimes, you will feel that the people of the military are also very cute. They are the kind of little squirrel that buried pine fruit everywhere. It works diligently and keeps buried. How many pine cones have been buried, but it doesn't matter. In the future, these forgotten fruits will always take root and germinate.

One day the little squirrel died, the enemy dug out the pine cones he remembered according to its confession, and found the most conspicuous, but some of them were still forgotten by everyone.

For another example, a whole whole -ended abandoned rail shipyard that has been forgotten in countless imperial file files may be lying in tens of thousands of retired warships that have been scrapped but have not yet sold. War equipment.

If you have heard Tayes Finili (It is said that this person is injured and it is difficult to change the bad habits, but the one who lives the longest in heaven is the one who lives the longest. God is not long -lasting, why are good people short -lived and bad guys long -lived), and they must know that he is a giant super -mech Odin, but he is just a little baby compared with these Audin. But these golden swallowing beasts are just mascots burning money in the peaceful age, and there are no enemies worth using such war weapons.

For a while, ten years ago when the Earth Federation restarted the war, it was almost when Angus VIII was ascended. Many people think that human beings will never fight, and then some of the proud ghosts of the imperial bureaucrat borrowing the donkey borrowed the donkey and locked these expensive toys into the warehouse.

Of course, this is not enough. The development of the next -generation main battleships can also be stopped. What the provinces say what deliberately provoked the war end. Now that the navy has no new toys, your army has gathered together, and new equipment does not need to think about it.

Sometimes you think that this group of people is finished.

When the Tyron Empire is the same as the Earth Federation, everything must be tattooed. Earth people are delicious and sweet. Essence

Sometimes the peaceful age can last for several generations, and it can make people forget the war for a long time, but the war always comes. At that time, a group of young people will span tens of thousands of light years and only enter the heart of another stranger for the knife.

Continue to talk about the battle of Pisces, there are not many records about this battle. I only know that both sides have invested amazing strength and detonated one of the two in the double star system.

If there are planets there, nothing will be left now.

(We do the same now. We have warships that are used to destroy rock -quality planets, and some models can destroy smaller stars. As warships, they are all incredible. But if you want to ask why we have to spend so much more The energy is used to destroy things. What benefits do you have to do so? Is it okay to benefit the world with such full energy? Believe me, human beings will explode the universe sooner or later)

(In addition, Xingling has much more useful destruction weapons than us, and keeps pace with the times. Do you understand? In the end of the first dynasty, there was a separatist regime that inherited half of the vast territory of the Empire, named Kaimorian United Union. For, of course, they have nothing to do with the past Kaimorian people, but they just have a large number of Kelmorian clan named Royce Ramzi. . The combination has been prosperous for decades until they tried to drive the unable to the unable to drive into El.

According to records, the war was very fierce, and the huge star domain that included hundreds of scholars was beaten.

The council has completely lost his patience and was anxious to save his face, so he forced the highest commander of the time to find the opportunity to fight against the rebels and cleaned these bugs in one fell swoop.

Some people are compared with General Farian Sprog with Thomas Renault. At most, he is at most a unsatisfactory unlucky egg.

At that time, the initiative of the war was still in the hands of the rebels. If the Earth Federation wanted to fight a decent battle, it had to find the real main force of the enemy first. Therefore, Connie was the one who decided whether to fight, when and where to fight.

Then, knowing that the enemy was eager to fight (it was impossible not to know this, first, the fleet's departure and military deployment were all seen by the Zerg's eyes, and second, all the media controlled by the Earth government were promoting such a statement, Augustus, if you are a man, come and fight), the best choice is to leave them alone, play them around, wait until these people lose their minds, and then you can choose the most favorable place for you to fight, and fight to decide the outcome.

According to the art of war: the right time, the right place, and the right people.

Larry used this routine to lure men, of course, she would sooner or later bring disaster upon herself. I advised her many times, but it was useless.

At that time, Connie had two armies in his hands, and the main force was still the Zerg, but no one knew that his rarely seen human army was actually very powerful. You know, Emperor Augustus would call this a trump card.

At the same time, Connie may also be the first person to drive the Zerg to fight with human thinking. He/or some of his men have certain qualities that the Zerg lacks, such as the foresight and clear purpose of the Overmind.

In short, Connie, Sass, Jupiter and others finally chose the decisive battle site in Pisces Rho. Their advantages are as follows: the violent stellar winds and a large amount of high-energy radiation in the galaxy will damage the shields of Earth warships, but the Zerg adapts well and will hardly be affected. Secondly, they have an advantage in numbers and strength. Finally, they take the initiative and have a retreat, while the enemy does not (in hindsight, this is not actually an advantage. A hungry wolf at the end of its rope is better than a well-fed lion. A truly good army that is desperate is better than a million lions).

This battle was still much more difficult than expected, and the casualties on both sides were jaw-dropping.

More people died than Connie expected. As before, his main force was still the Zerg, but Admiral Sprague's fleet was indeed a tough nut to crack. It can even be said that the strength of that fleet can be ranked in the top three in the entire history of mankind. They fought all the Zerg, forcing Connie to go into battle personally.

This was an overtime game. The enemy-to-us ratio was one to ten. For every wounded warship on the enemy side, we had ten warships that had just joined the battlefield. At that time, Sprague had been killed in the battle. He was replaced by an unknown figure named Cole Gregory, who was just a little bit away from reversing history and leaving his name in history.

At that time, the remaining Earth fleet must have been very desperate. They had just defeated the Zerg at an extremely heavy price, and before they could celebrate their victory, they saw the huge fleet of the Rebellion.

Cole Gregory was indeed a hero. He integrated all the remaining warships in a very short time and made the captains from different fleets support his decision without reservation.

Gregory could tell at a glance that although the rebels had many warships, their models were uneven. There were both the most advanced star destroyers and old battlecruisers from centuries ago. In addition to armor, speed and firepower, the most obvious difference between them was the generation gap in jump engines.

These warships were able to conduct fleet coordinated jumps, but the time to re-prepare the engines was different each time, while the warships on Earth were completely updated with unified standards.

Very good, then there was a solution. After two short jumps, in order to keep up with the Earth fleet, the most backward ships of the rebels were left behind. After the fourth jump, a local outnumbered situation was formed.

By the time Connie realized this, Gregory had already rushed up with his men, and the gap in strength between the two sides was almost completely eliminated, while his bulky ships would take at least several hours to arrive.

Caught off guard, the rebel fleet was fiercely suppressed. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Connie began his tried-and-tested tactics again - boarding Gregory's flagship and using his psychic power to solve the problem.

However, when Gregory learned that a god-like psychic was killing people in his warship (this had happened many times before), he was unusually calm. Gregory's first order was to abandon the ship, the second was to order nearby warships to focus on his flagship, and the third was to hand over his command to another captain.

The moment Gregory's flagship was destroyed, the senior generals of the rebels panicked and the chain of command was in chaos. If the Earth captain who took over the command had not misjudged the situation and ordered a retreat, they would have been wiped out before the reinforcement fleet arrived.

Of course, Connie survived by chance with his unparalleled psychic power, otherwise he would not have become the future emperor of the Terran Empire, but all the soldiers who followed him died.

Cole Gregory also survived like a legend. The escape pod he was riding was not destroyed, but landed on a nearby planet. Finally, it was discovered by a scavenger ship and returned to the Earth Federation world after a long journey.

Gregory should have been Connie's greatest enemy, but he was court-martialed as soon as he returned to Earth, and was sentenced to death as soon as the trial was over, on charges of cowardice, mismanagement, and disregard for human life.

The Battle of Pisces Rho had caused great damage to the Earth Federation - almost all of its mobile fleets, half of its fleet stationed in the Empire, and its elite fleets in the homeland. At this point, the Council had lost its powerful fleet that it had relied on to deter all parties. Without a fleet, it could no longer maintain its rule over the occupied areas.

From this point on, the galaxy was in chaos. The worlds of the former Terran Empire either rose up or stood on their own sides and destroyed each other.

However, the Council was already in a difficult situation. Once they suffered too many defeats, even their own off-world colonies began to become restless, so they had to recall all their fleets to defend their homeland and abandon large tracts of conquered land. Later, the Imperial Prime Minister Duval Williams (Ingens, a branch of the Khar people, was born in poverty. It is said that Williams was almost sold by his parents for money) suggested that Connie send people to take advantage of the situation to fan the flames. Sure enough, it didn't take much time to make the Earth Federation's backyard catch fire and the world in chaos.

The fire was urgent, and the Council finally agreed to invite Alexander Dugar back.

But by the time they had the nerve to ask for help, Dugar had been drowned in the toilet by two ghost agents (some say they were several mimic larvae with high intelligence).

This death was so miserable that the Council had to announce that Marshal Dugar died of a heart attack.

The year after Dugar's death, Connie summoned various rebel forces to march towards the solar system.

Maybe someone in the Council had a flash of inspiration, or maybe someone came up with a good idea. The Federation's propaganda machine began to publicize the evil of Connie and the Zerg, slaughtering every conquered world, hoping that they would resist desperately out of fear, buying time for assembling a fleet to protect the Earth.

But this was a bit too much, or the people below were too damn good at executing it.

As a result, wherever Connie's army went, they all surrendered.

The Earth is 60,000 light years away from the Koprulu Sector, which is about one-third to one-half of the diameter of the Milky Way. This is a very long distance.

In the past, it was considered impossible to strike the Earth with lightning, but Connie did it.

In fact, this method is very simple. Take the path that Alexander DuGal took when conquering Korhal: bring the fastest and best ships, make the most of the Xel'Naga portals and the star gates copied from them to shorten the journey, ignore everything, and use all the time to rush.

History is always surprisingly similar. When Connie's fleet appeared in the sky above the earth, the Council made the same judgment as the top leaders of the Empire thirty years ago-hold on and wait for the fleet reinforcements from the outer world.

Earth, the mother planet, the cradle, the spiritual home of all mankind, we in the Koprulu sector also call it Old Earth. No matter what it is called, it is definitely the planet that humans have operated for the longest time, and of course it has the most defense facilities and garrison fleets.

Connie took over the earth a little faster than DuGal took over Korhal.

Do you know how people on earth now scold Connie? As far as I know, the best word is a bastard who made peace with the Zerg.

The idea of ​​solving the problem is to use plague, the most terrible plague in history.

It is said that this terrible Zerg virus can kill the Xel'Naga.

The plague was brought back by an Earth fleet that rushed back to Earth to assist in the defense. In the first week after that, the god of death was unprecedentedly generous, and four billion people died on Earth in one week. The Council surrendered before the death toll reached 15 billion, and it was only four days into the second week.

Connie had his reasons, and he never regretted it. The more people they (Earth) died, the fewer my people died.

On the day the Council surrendered, Augustus Constance Mengsk ascended the throne on Earth and became Augustus VIII, the Conqueror of the Solar System.

I had a long paragraph to write, but I found that the homework paper was too small to write, so I'll make it short.

In the following 25 years, Augustus VIII conquered and established a galactic empire that spanned the Milky Way and ruled it with fear.

Augustus VIII and Queen Rachel had only one child, Emperor Ulysses I. The queen had been in poor health since giving birth to her son. Her husband was willing to exchange an empire for her health, but the queen was unwilling to rely on life extension technology to survive.

When the queen died, the people of Earth celebrated for seven days and nights, believing that this was retribution.

Augustus VIII raised his only son alone until he reached adulthood, and when Ulysses Mengsk proved that he was capable of taking over the throne, he officially announced his abdication.

Just as the Zerg suddenly returned, Augustus VIII also suddenly took them away, just like King Arthur who went to the utopia, to find the legendary void.

After receiving the news, Earth immediately declared independence and the war broke out again.

Ulysses I argued with his parliament for a full twelve days, and finally he rejected all objections, gave up his claim to the Earth Federation World, and retreated to the original empire.

This is the current Third Dynasty of the Terran Empire.

Since then, peace between Korhal and Earth has lasted for four hundred years.

It is said that before Augustus VIII disappeared, he left the same words as his ancestor Augustus the Great: "I forgive my enemies." (End of this chapter)
