When the ship sails in the hyperspace channel, people who grew up on the planet will often feel tired when they are in it. Waking up from nightmares is a rare and common thing, probably only for nervous people like Harnak and Josephine.
Only then can you sleep soundly without any influence.
In the past, Augustus always attributed the bizarre scenes in his nightmares to his past memories, but now he knew that it was because he thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night.
"Ever since you left the Dalarian Shipyard, you have been having nightmares." Lieutenant Sarah Kerrigan was wearing a three-dimensional and close-fitting dark gray officer uniform of the Revolutionary Army. The Mengsk golden wolf pattern on the belt and epaulettes meant
She could enter and leave the captain's quarters of the Norad 2 at will without incurring the anger of Corporal Faraday, captain of the Augustus Guards.
These days, Kerrigan has deliberately combed her eye-catching long fiery red hair. After becoming Augustus's personal guard, this former federal ghost agent with terrifying psychic powers always wears a neat and neat shawl.
She may have a single ponytail, but today she gives people a very different feeling.
Compared with more than four months ago, Kerrigan looked very different. Her long, fiery red hair hung down to her slender waist. Kerrigan's smooth hair on her forehead was separated into two braided locks.
The braid was formed into a ring from around the head to the back of the head, like a crown. The long and smooth hair trembled slightly as she wiped the sweat from Augustus' face with a cotton handkerchief.
Under the soft light blue light of the captain's cabin, Kerrigan's fire-like long hair seemed to be shrouded in a veil.
Although some people always said that Augustus's too much trust in a former Confederate Assassin would lead to bad luck, these rumors only fell into deaf ears when they reached the ears of the leaders of the Revolutionary Army.
Soon another voice appeared. Augustus Mengsk himself admired the ghost agent's ability very much. He trusted in people and immediately entrusted him with important tasks. There was no need to worry about the leader's safety, because he was never right.
The jackal confides in his heart.
However, Jurgen Shawshank, a fleet correspondent for the Kohal Dominion Pravda newspaper, believes that the truth is not that simple. He is more willing to believe that our wise and mighty great leader Augustus also has seven emotions and six desires.
After capturing the ghost agent Sarah Kerrigan, Augustus immediately transferred the Umoyan Shadow Guards who protected him to his father Angus and appointed Kerrigan to work full-time
If no one can prove that nothing ever happened between General Augustus and his beautiful young personal guard, then of course it is true.
"Do you know what I dreamed about?" Augustus was still wearing his military shirt when he sat up. To this day, he still maintains the same sleeping habits as a marine in Turasis. All the clothes, guns and
The bullets were placed within easy reach. When necessary, Augustus would sleep in his clothes. He is still a soldier who can get up, run, and shoot at any time.
However, perhaps he had just woken up from a nightmare, or perhaps he was wary of a psyker peering into his thoughts, but the cold gray eyes of Augustus staring at Kerrigan really looked like a real bird.
The real Steele is as aggressive as a wolf.
This did not scare Kerrigan, she just said calmly: "Same as three days ago, in your dream there is a huge planet that has turned into a radiation wasteland. I am sure that it is Korhal 4. Sometimes, radiation
There is nothing in the wasteland, but sometimes it turns into a huge megacity. There are many people living there, but none of them are Korhal."
"Oh -" Augustus rubbed his temples and felt a sting coming towards him: "If I didn't do anything, that's what Korhal 4 should have become... I'm just like this
I mean, you know I always like to think the worst about something."
"No, you are not such a person." Kerrigan just shook her head and said nothing next: "You never imagined me as a bad guy or a killer."
"...It's time for me to get up." Augustus said nothing more. When he put on his coat, he casually mentioned: "Have I dreamed of you? My dear."
Augustus never imagined what the future queen of the swarm, Queen of Blades, would look like, in order to avoid causing Kerrigan to make some unfounded guesses.
Kerrigan can read minds. Although Augustus explicitly prohibits her from delving deeply into her inner world, it is still possible for her to capture some sudden thoughts.
Judging from the fact that Kerrigan still knew nothing about Augustus' dark history, she strictly followed this even out of respect and trust for Augustus himself.
"You should ask yourself." Kerrigan seemed to be frightened. She had always respected Augustus very much and couldn't help but temporarily forget that a soldier could not yell at his commander:
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Nothing, I just said it was time to get up." Augustus observed Kerrigan's expression and found that instead of feeling offended, she felt that this was what a sixteen-year-old girl should do.
Ashamed and annoyed.
Augustus might have thought this was cute in normal times, but he was worried about Korhal, his father, and the soldiers who were still fighting against the federal army, and most of what he said was random and unintentional.
.
When Augustus buttoned his coat, he was still thinking: If Korhal 4 has not sent coordinates and encrypted information according to the agreed period, the Federation fleet must have arrived in the Korhal system - then
Much faster than I expected.
Then, the Tyranid Federation should be prepared to be bombed into the sky.
"Even if you haven't slept for three days and two nights before sleeping for four hours today, do you still want to continue working?" Kerrigan wanted to put a hat on Augustus, but she didn't until he was pushed away.
Only then did she realize that she was not Augustus' personal maid.
Augustus had never needed servants. Although he never mentioned this, Kerrigan knew that he had no sense of identification with the aristocratic system that gave him status and rights. This was unlike his father and brother.
same.
"You should sleep a little longer." Kerrigan said to Augustus: "The bridge tells me that the fleet will have two hours to jump out of the hyperspace lane and arrive in the Tarsonis system."
"Then I shouldn't sleep." Augustus opened his eyes a little wider, and he immediately said: "My warriors need me."
"But your health smart assistant shows that you are very tired now, and I can also feel that your mental state is not very good." Kerrigan grabbed Augustus's wrist and said: "You are very sad, you are not as good as them
You can see how strong he is."
"I will not fall," Augustus said as he arranged his appearance in a mirror, "Never."
When Kerrigan wanted to say something else, Augustus' determined expression made her give in.
"I know what you want to say." Kerrigan said, holding her forehead: "After all, I am not your mother, right? Even if Lady Catherine is standing here, would you still say that?"
"This is a false proposition." Augustus chuckled, as humorous and natural as he always was: "It is impossible for her to appear here, and I will not allow this to happen."
However, Augustus's heart became heavy again, and he couldn't help but began to worry about his mother and sister. A week ago, with the transfer of a huge sum of money into Augustus's account at the Umoyan National Bank, his
The news that his brother Arcturus Mengsk had arrived at the Pasteur Manor in Umoyan and met with Julianna and his son was also conveyed to the Hyperion.
It has now been nearly a month since this message was sent, and Augustus has no way of knowing whether Arcturus was able to get back together with Juliana after such a long time, or whether he just stayed for more than a week and left in a hurry.
Return to your comfort zone in the mine.
No way of knowing.
From Arcturus's sincere but actually full of complaints, Augustus learned that his brother was not satisfied with his nephew.
But because Augustus had already taught Valerian what a real Mengsk man should be like, and Valerian had not relaxed his demands on himself after his uncle left, and he practiced swordsmanship and exercised hard, Aktu
Else would never call his son a sissy and a nerd like he did in the original timeline.
Although Arcturus used many words to describe Valerian as far less intelligent and tenacious than Augustus when he was a child, and complained about his mother, sister and Juliana dressing up their son as a little princess, this still did not help bridge the gap.
The rift between father and son caused by the long separation has had quite a positive impact.
With Catherine present, Arcturus could at least feel the warmth of the family, and became less angry when he complained about Juliana hiding him. In addition, Augustus only hoped that his brother could get married and start a business, and then
If not, you should build up some affection with your nephew. A family will feel torn apart if anyone is missing.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned them," Kerrigan said apologetically.
"I know you said that for my sake." Augustus left Kerrigan with a relaxed smile and said, "You are a telepath. You know what I am thinking and feel the same way."
When the heavy airlock door of the Norad 2 captain's room opened, Corporal Faraday in an officer's uniform was already waiting for Augustus. Behind him stood four Steellings wearing CMC-300 power armor.
Striker.
Corporal Faraday is a man with a stern face. He is a standard Korhal man, with a wide chin, a high bridge of nose and deep eye sockets. A few months ago, Faraday was an ordinary federal citizen, and now he has become
The red man next to the rebel leader.
Corporal Faraday was absolutely loyal to this. He never believed that he had the talents worthy of his current position. In order to repay Augustus's appreciation and decisive promotion, this young revolutionary soldier from Korhal
He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Korhal Revolution and the protection of Augustus himself.
Augustus Mengsk never missed a person. In order to prove that Augustus still had the same eye for recognizing and choosing people, Corporal Faridi treated every job Augustus assigned to him rigorously and seriously.
Whether he was fetching a piece of toast or commanding an army, or even Augustus leaving him alone to guard Korhal, Corporal Faridi was motivated to do his best.
Unable to contact other battlecruisers while the ship was in a hyperspace jump state, Augustus walked straight to the corridor leading to the lower deck and bottom cabin. Augustus first spent some time to go to Norad
2's armory, which was run by a cousin of Rory Swann's own race, replacing the Alpha Squadron engineer.
Swann's brothers all look quite similar to each other, but the difference is that Swann's cousin lost a leg in a mine accident in the New Apollon community and had to be replaced with an alloy prosthesis.
"Good morning, sir, if this time can be considered morning." Thorin Swann, a tall Mrs. Mainho, said in a deep voice: "Is there anything I can do for you? I've already put in my spare time.
The optional ship weapons, armor, and shield upgrade projects are listed on the control panel. You can choose the future upgrade direction and projects of Norad 2, and then tell me..."
"Then you will upgrade this battlecruiser according to my requirements?" Augustus asked.
"Of course, provided..." Thorin was interrupted by Augustus, who rarely interrupted what others were saying - unless he couldn't help it.
"The premise is that you have money." Augustus spread his hands, as if there were ten thousand game announcers telling him, 'You don't have enough crystal mines', 'You don't have enough military spending.'
"Well, I have good news for you. I have money now."
Thanks to his brother Arcturus, Augustus had a large amount of money at his disposal.
The only thing Augustus needs to consider is how to turn the money into real revolutionary capital. He does not need to be too frugal, because as long as Arcturus still holds the extremely rich mine, Augustus will pay Augustus every month.
There will be a series of "0"s on Stu's account, and they are all currencies such as Umo Yang Citizen Points that are not easily devalued and can be directly linked to crystal mines.
In addition to the Kemerian Consortium and Umoyan, Augustus must also purchase weapons, ammunition and warships from the black market in the edge areas of the Koprulu Sector. At the same time, Augustus must overcome the high reliance on procurement and
The unfavorable situation of relying on the support of Yumo Yang's national defense army.
The Korhal Revolutionary Army needed a new base, and Augustus pinned his hopes on dozens of Korhal colonial motherships flying to distant galaxies.
After that, Augustus went to the lower deck to review the already armed and waiting soldiers of the Korhal Revolutionary Army, and made an impassioned speech to the officers and soldiers, as part of the general mobilization on the battlefield.
Only when Norad 2 and a fleet of more than twenty Behemoth-class battlecruisers jumped out of the hyperspace jump channel did Augustus arrive at the bridge.
On the star map, Tarsonis is rotating at a rotational speed, and the jump signal of the Federation ship, which is much lower than expected, shows that the Tarsonis garrison did not notice that a huge fleet was rapidly approaching.
Since Tarsonis became the beacon of Terran Federation civilization, it has never experienced the baptism of war.
