1281, Heart of the Swarm (1)

——TR.82.9.22——

Cthulhu Sector, Gallente Sector, Meinhof Frontier.

Theoretically, there is no so-called "border" in the universe, but the positions between galaxies and the routes between star gates may form a shape on the star map that can be seen as a "border" at a glance.

The Meinhof boundary is such a "cosmic boundary". It is between the Mein cluster and the Hof cluster, two star clusters with many galaxy clusters, but it does not have any galaxies in itself, nor does it exist between the two star clusters.

Any star gate connection passing through here will look like a strange "crack" in the starry sky on the star map, and this crack is also the natural border between the Gallente Star Territory and the Minmatar Star Territory.

However, this peculiar traffic environment directly leads to the fact that the closer the galaxy is to the Meinhof boundary, the less valuable it is to develop, unless rare minerals are produced there.

squeak——squeak——

In a remote galaxy with only two planets that is quite close to the "border", the only star gate is constantly flashing with blue thunder and lightning, as if something super massive is passing through.

If it were a normal stargate, the patrol fleet responsible for guarding the stargate would immediately evacuate the ships in the transmission area. However, at this time, not only were there no ships at the location where the "supermassive object" was about to arrive, but the entire stargate area was empty.

Buzz——!

A completely black "Gorgon" class battlecruiser passed through the star gate and arrived proudly.

What is not quite commensurate with its appearance is that its logo is a cute little toy-like spaceship with the word "COK" marked on it.

It represents the Children of Korhal, the most radical of all the nations and organizations that are enemies of the Tyranid Federation.

You know, even the Minmatar Republic, which is fighting on multiple fronts with the Tyranid Federation, has communication channels with the Tyranid Federation, but the "children of Korhal" have none.

It attacks different facilities of the Tyranid Federation in different galaxies without any rules, does not accept negotiations and communication, and has no intention of separatist parties. It is like a lone wolf that has strayed from the pack. Even if it cannot compete with the lions, it cannot compete with the lions.

Do not prevent it from finding opportunities to attack and kill lone individuals.

The Tyranid Federation defined the "Children of Korhal" as a terrorist organization and issued an astronomically high bounty on its leader Arcturus Mengsk, but in exchange for "Children of Korhal" being more severe

It has no effect except revenge.

There is no other reason. If a person's home planet has been bombed by 10,000 nuclear bombs, then no one except the murderer can accuse his revenge of being unjust. Before any other country wants to arrest him, he must first think about himself.

Will you receive the same treatment?

Hyperion, special care unit.

"Sir, we have arrived in the Moria system, please give us instructions."

The adjutant's voice came from outside the door. He deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of scaring anyone.

"Inform the captain of the combat team to go to the conference room. I will be there soon." A low and hoarse male voice sounded.

"Yes, sir." The adjutant at the door responded and left quickly.

In the room, Arcturus Mengsk, wearing a gold and red captain's uniform with a serious face, was sitting at the table, holding his chin with the back of his hand, looking intently at Emil Meng, who was lying quietly in the medical cabin.

Sk, when talking to the adjutant, he only raised his eyebrows slightly.

Compared with two years ago, Arcturus's appearance has not changed much. His face has become more weathered, and he has grown a slight beard, but his eyes are very deep, and occasionally a bright light flashes, like a blade.

sharp.

Arcturus's steady, capable, and thoughtful expression only relaxed slightly when he looked at Emil's little face, which seemed to be sleeping, with a slight smile. But what emerged the next moment was deep pain.

and hatred.

Emil's appearance has not changed much. She still looks like a small, blond, blue-eyed literary girl, as if she really just fell asleep. But the problem is that at her age, the biggest problem is that she has not grown at all in the past two years.

abnormal.

Two years ago, Emile activated the "Psychic Shield" of the "Pioneer Ute" and single-handedly blocked the bombing of 10,000 Apocalypse-level strategic nuclear bombs on Kohal, but at the cost of her brain waves completely

disappear.

In grief, Governor Angus immediately organized and assembled Korhal's army to prepare for the attack of the Tyranid Federation. However, he was surprised to find that the "psionic shield" showed no sign of disappearing at all, and not only could enemy warships from outside not be able to enter.

, one's own ships can't get out either.

After many inspections and tests by the so-called "psionic experts", it was discovered that Emil had established a close connection with the "psionic shield" covering the entire Korhal IV, and only the ship she was traveling on could pass through it.

In this way, no matter how reluctant the Mengsk family is, they must take her with them every time they go out.

In order to prevent Emile from suffering from turbulence, Arcturus recruited all the battleship designers, medical experts and medical device manufacturing experts he could find to build a special intensive care unit for her on the battlecruiser.

and a fully functional medical cabin.

However, even with the carrying capacity of the "Gorgon" class battlecruiser, it is impossible for the entire Korhal IV to maintain the consumption level before it was "blocked".

Therefore, in the first half year of the emergence of the protective shield, Governor Angus had been transforming the economy based on the current situation, while Arcturus was responsible for evading the blockade of the Tyranid Federation and delivering needed supplies to Korhal IV.

Finally, when the economic cycle of Korhal IV was on the right track, Arcturus officially reorganized the "War Porcupine" into the "Children of Korhal" and renamed the Gorgon-class battlecruiser "Hugh"

Borian", dedicated to combating the Terran Federation.

Relying on various technologies that Emil activated before he fell into coma, although the "Children of Korhal" cannot win every battle, they have no problems with intelligence and escape, and they can guarantee that the target of their attack must be the Tyranid Federation.

evil minions.

Most people thought that the "Children of Korhal" had no foundation, but they never imagined that Korhal IV, which was rumored to be in ruins, was actually still prosperous, and most of their targets were the resources Korhal IV lacked.

And this mining galaxy called Moria is the next target of the "Children of Korhal". Although its mineral reserves are not high, they are very rich in types. This kind of minerals is very troublesome for normal mining companies.

The composite mineral vein is just right for Kehal IV, which has many needs but a small total amount.

The most important thing is that the minerals mined here are a private company under the [Mobius Foundation] that is rumored to have sold the Terran Federation nuclear bombs. According to intelligence, they are inhumanely exploiting clones in the mines, so they attacked this place.

This planet has no psychological burden at all.

Arcturus raised his hand, patted the transparent cover of the medical cabin gently, then stood up and walked out the door.
