1169, Legacy of the Void (twenty-three)

 ——TR.81.2.3——

"Heavenly Demon" advances to the base mining area.

"Damn it! Uncle Finley is going to fight alongside the Angels! Instead of protecting some SCVs full of oil—!"

Da da da da da—!

The clone engineers driving heavy construction machinery seemed very angry at Tychus's words, but their anger was quickly extinguished by the miniguns in his hands that kept spitting out flames, and they turned to complete their own work.

"Is it here? So it's here!"

After Tychus poured firepower on the location marked by Reno for a long time, it had no effect at all. Then he discovered that Reno had changed the location of the mark, so he turned to the new target location and continued to fire, but still found nothing.

"Jim! Are you okay?" He impatiently connected to the communication with the command center: "There are no invisible enemies at all, right?"

"[The enemy is indeed there, but it keeps moving,]" Renault's voice also sounded helpless: "[When I sent the mark, she had already moved to another location.]"

"Huh? Her?" Tychus's focus was obviously elsewhere.

"[Yes, based on the range of air disturbance caused by the enemy on my side, as well as the movement pattern and the power of the firearm, it should be a "ghost" from the Minmatar side, and only women are suitable for "ghosts".

]" Renault responded.

"Really? That would be worth capturing alive." Tychus chuckled.

"[...]" Renault did not respond to these words, which were very malicious when he thought about it carefully. He continued to update him on the enemy's location while disconnecting the communication.

Click, click, click.

The minigun that continued to fire at the new target suddenly jammed, probably because it ran out of bullets or the muzzle was overheated.

"Jim, what you built doesn't work very well." Tychus mocked, threw away the minigun, and took off two bolters from his back.

Just like clones can be competent drivers of vultures and siege tanks in addition to Ma Run depending on the knowledge they instill, ordinary people can become all infantrymen except medics by simply changing into power armor with different functions.

Troops, such as the firebat with a flamethrower as its weapon, the Marauder with a jetpack that can fly briefly, and the Reaper with thick armor and powerful firepower, but cannot attack the air.

At this time, Tychus is using the "Reaper" armor. Like the minigun, its secondary weapon bolt gun is also good at range attacks. If the invisible enemy does not fight back, the possibility of being hit by his stray bullets will increase.

getting bigger.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Click buzz!

Before Tychus could fire his fourth shot, the enemy counterattacked.

"Huh? Uh-huh?!" Tychus operated in the power armor, but the armor shrouded in a strange electromagnetic net remained motionless.

"Don't bother, it can even lock a battlecruiser for a short while." Accompanied by a clear and slightly arrogant female voice, the air fluctuated, revealing a slim figure carrying a huge sniper rifle and wearing silver armor.

.

Her platinum-blonde hair is combed into a single ponytail at the back of her head, her ice-blue eyes are playful, her high nose, thin lips, and oval face so white that it's almost transparent form a natural, aloof temperament.

"Strange, I seem to have seen this face somewhere before?" While Tychus was struggling, he looked at the newly appeared "ghost" with slightly doubtful eyes.

"[What is the relationship between the Terran Senator of the Tyranid Federation and you?]" Raynor's voice came from the speaker of Tychus' armor.

"Oh? Are you asking about the older one, or the younger one?" The ghost seemed to have no intention of keeping it secret at all and replied: "One is my grandfather and the other is my father."

"Oh! Let me just say, this hair color, eye color and face shape are often seen on the news," Tychus interjected, and then he was stunned: "But that's not right, why did the Tyranid Federation attack its own troops?"

"Haha, who said that the Tyranid Federation is going to attack its own troops?" Ghost chuckled, and then said: "They just plan to attack all the Minmatar troops on Turasis II together with a small fortress.

It was all blown to ashes."

"..."

"[...]"

"Don't look at me like that. Although the ghost can indeed guide nuclear bombs, they are all low-yield tactical nuclear bombs. One of them can only kill SCVs and supply depots, not even the barracks," the ghost said in a very relaxed tone:

"A job like this to destroy an entire fortress requires ten strategic-level bases."

Being betrayed by his superior, even with Tychus' rough nerves, he was shocked and speechless for a moment.

"[I understand,]" Renault reacted first: "[Howe Fortress's approach of blocking the Minmatar fleet at the border is not in line with the Federation's plan.]"

"Bingo~" The ghost put his index finger and middle finger together to make a shooting gesture, and then put it to his mouth and blew: "The Federation has never put your 'breakable in one attack' fortress on the table.

The plan for the Minmatar fleet has been arranged in the Amarr star field behind, and it will be launched as soon as you are breached, but..."

"[Oh, is this a plan to take away all the wealth of the Minmatar border planets first and then blame it on the Minmatar fleet?]" Renault sneered.

"It's roughly true," Ghost said, "but that's because the Minmatar fleet was unable to attack for a long time, so it became angry because of the heavy losses and used strategic nuclear bombs to completely destroy them." After all, nuclear bombs are not effective against fleets in the universe.

."

"Have those guys from the Federation robbed the nuclear bomb wholesale market?" Tychus stared.

"Who knows?" The ghost shrugged: "After all, even I have a share of ten 'Revelations'."

"[Then, why did you come to remind us? With the power and accuracy of your weapon, it would be easy to kill an SCV with continuous shooting, but you only attack the intact SCV that cannot be destroyed by one shot. This

It only means that you plan to talk to us.]"

"Of course it's because your tactics are very interesting," Ghost pointed at the base defense line that was surrounded by gunfire. "Even with mass-produced consumables like clone troopers, you want to reduce losses as much as possible, even if

While talking to me, he didn't stop pulling on all the fronts. This is not something that a mere sergeant can care about. Therefore, I plan to give you a chance to escape before the strategic nuclear bomb falls.

, even if you bear the name of a 'deserter', it is still better than being killed by a 'Mimatar side' nuclear bomb, isn't it?"

"[Thank you for your advice, madam,]" Renault seemed to have made up his mind: "[I wonder if I am lucky enough to know your name?]"

"Hmm? My previous identity has been so obvious. Just check it... Oh, do you want to meet me formally?" The ghost smiled: "I am Nova, Nova Terra. I wish you all the best."

Good luck to you, Commander Raynor."

As the last words fell, Nova's figure swayed like a reflection in the water, and then disappeared into the air.
