The carrier-based transport aircraft of the Norad 2 jumped out of the dock like a stray swarm. They, the Hyperion and the landing fleet on the Iron Justice respectively flew to Tarsonis under the escort of the fighter group.
At this time, the situation of the fleet battle has become clear. The hastily assembled Tyranid Federation fleet was defeated. Five of the nine battlecruisers were destroyed and two were severely damaged. The last two Behemoth-class battlecruisers dragged the scarred
The body drove into the shadow between the orbital defense platform and the planet.
Just as the Little Devil transport ship Tychus was riding began to speed up, in the short distance between the space distortion in the hyperspace channel and the vortex caused by the absorption of light, two behemoth-class battleships with iron-gray armored shells appeared.
The cruiser jumped within 300 feet of a heavily damaged Federation Leviathan and opened fire.
The Leviathan-class battlecruiser's backward armor could not withstand the fierce artillery fire, and finally exploded in a bright flash. The main body of the ship was pushed towards Tarsonis by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and was pushed by the planet's gravity.
Caught, falling to the earth.
Even so, Tarsonis's three orbital defense platforms are still a barrier between the Revolutionary Fleet and Tarsonis. Its air defense firepower network covers most of the orbit around the star, and the powerful Draken 2
The pulse railgun can even shoot down battlecruisers, enough to block a fleet.
Augustus has no intention of seizing these orbital platforms. Even when the returning Federation fleet arrives in the Tarsonis system, it is impossible for the Revolutionary fleet to capture all the platforms, and currently there is no substantial significance in doing so.
The goal of Augustus was to attack the mainland of Tarsonis. Even if he could not catch a few members of the Creation Family, he had to panic them. Even for this reason, Augustus still successfully delivered several members to the orbital platform.
A nuclear bomb is used to destroy its main anti-aircraft fire network and provide opportunities for more landing troops to successfully reach the surface of the planet.
Tychus's fleet was among the first to enter the atmosphere. From the perspective of the transport ship pilot, he could see a dense barrage of pulse cannons, anti-aircraft guns and missiles piercing the sky every moment.
The revolutionary army's transport ship was shot down.
But Tychus has become accustomed to it. This is the fate of the airborne troops. Most of the casualties occur before landing.
At this time, Tychus could hear the breathing in the communication channel becoming obviously heavier, and many people turned off the HUD display inside the armor. Even the elite Stirling wolf hunters would be scared, and many
No one has even been in space before, and there have been many incidents where people vomited all over the inside of their powered armor due to seasickness.
"Listen up, I know that all my men are top-notch heroes." Tychus calmed down. He always has a lot of weird things to say, but when he should be serious, he is still quite reliable: "The next thing
It will be much easier to handle.”
"Gentlemen, war is calling us. Maybe old Mengsk said that we are fighting for freedom, justice, democracy or other things that cannot be seen or eaten, but in the final analysis, we are killing people." Tychus
Hehehe smiled.
Tychus's words did not receive much response. If this were during the Demon of Heaven, Augustus would not need to say anything. Harnack and Josephine would have already started bragging and shouting in the communication channel. Sometimes Tychus also stood up.
I miss the past days - of course, I only think about it occasionally.
"But this is what we are best at, killing and stealing, and men should do what men should do." When several Stirling wolf hunters looked at Tychus, he was trying to take out the power armor's supply unit.
A new cigar.
"If you want revenge, you have to show some of the ferocity with which your ancestors hunted wolves. If the Terran Federation fleet really dropped so many nuclear bombs on Korhal 4, then the forests of the wolf hunting territory would be destroyed.
Not even the scum is left."
Tychus could see several Stirling wolf hunters clenching their gauss rifles and gritting their teeth, but still did not say a word.
"It's so boring." Seeing that no one else responded, Tychus couldn't help but miss the past days. To be honest, recruiting a group of villains is much more interesting than leading these silent soldiers. At least those guys usually talk more.
.
Having said that, if we really want to fight side by side and leave our backs to our comrades, these determined revolutionary soldiers are definitely the most trustworthy.
"Sir, the mission briefing shows that our destination is the main city of Tarsonis, but the central area is a densely populated commercial area." A lieutenant finally took over Tychus's words.
"Yes, we will have a street battle with the Tarsonis defense forces there." Tychus said: "As long as those Tarsonis are not crazy, they will either hide at home or run away after a few hours.
If they accidentally injure civilians... then they can only consider themselves unlucky."
"Where there are few civilians, there are fortresses and military fortresses."
"..." The soldiers could not remain calm when the transport ship they were on could be shot down at any time and destroy the ship and kill everyone.
"This is just a small scene for the Demon of Heaven. If you want me to have those glorious years when I fought side by side with Augustus Mengsk, then old Tychus will have to say that." Tychus looked around.
, chatting and laughing: "When we were in Turasis 2, the scene was ten times more dangerous than it is now."
This somewhat attracted the attention of the Revolutionary Army soldiers. In their view, the Demon of Heaven was undoubtedly a living legend.
While Tychus was bragging, the Imp had already arrived over the city of Tarsonis. At this time, the city was still in the dark. A dense anti-aircraft firepower network obscured the space, and the rate of fire was hundreds of rounds per second.
The machine guns poured out bullets as if they were free.
The Little Devil transport ship and three other transport ships shuttled between high-rise buildings like a steel forest, avoiding anti-aircraft fire while looking for opportunities to land.
Even though the Korhal Revolutionary Army had no previous signs of sending landing troops, the central area of Tarsonis City had actually built defenses, fortifications, roadblocks, artillery positions, and arc tank groups in less than two hours.
The Marines and the Tarsonis Army have formed a tight defensive position in the central city.
Put the founding family, the federal parliament and the people in the wealthy areas under "comprehensive", "strict" and "caring" protection.
In the end, Tychus's landing force could only land inside a research station outside the central city. His troops eliminated the scattered resistance among the researchers with three strikes, five strikes and two strikes, and inserted a side of Korhal.
Flag of the revolutionary army.
Before leaving, he lit a fire that quickly went out.
Near the research station is the unloading platform of a trading star port. As usual, Tychus picked up a lot of good things while transcribing the experimental data of the research station. Tychus found a lot of old antiques in a container sent to New Sydney in the edge system.
Including an old record player and an antique revolver.
"Tsk - an old-fashioned revolver. Mengsk will like these gadgets. I heard that his collection room is filled with antiques and cold weapons from hundreds of years ago, and he also likes to give them to officers who are valued by him.
Distribution gun." On the way to a Terran Federation command center, Tychus fumbled for the exquisitely crafted revolver with patterns in his hands.
This is a Colt military single-action revolver, an antique from hundreds of years ago, and the bullets are extremely precious. The power of this model of revolver cannot be underestimated, and it can easily open the skull of a bison.
But then Tychus thought again, he had never given a gift to anyone other than a woman in his life.
