Within the territory of the United States of Yumoyang.
A year and a half has passed since the Korhal Fall incident, which brought heavy trauma to the people of Korhal IV. More than 23 million Korhal people living in Umoyan have used tears and sweat to water the barren land under their feet.
And in the mountainous land, wasteland was reclaimed and cities were built.
This generation of Korhal people are gradually taking root in a foreign land far away from their homeland. When a new generation of children is born, they can only recall the mercury city and lush greenery of Korhal IV from their parents’ memories of the past and beautiful songs.
of primeval forest.
Surrounded by mountains, the main city of New Stillling still has some shadow of the glory of the old capital of Korhal. The city center is densely populated with buildings. The height of the white and silver buildings is dominated by the city hall tower in the center, the Korhal Parliament.
The round chamber and the Supreme Court of the Dominion gradually decrease toward the residential and industrial buildings on the outskirts of the city, just like the concentric ripples caused by a drop of water dripping into a river.
Unlike those cities in Korhal IV that arose from colonial-era settlements, New Stirling does not have the inner city walls or complex urban transportation network that bear traces of the old era.
The urban layout of New Stillling follows strict and detailed planning. Landmark buildings, roads, residential buildings and every brick have been planned before they are laid. The transportation network of the entire New Stillling city is like a clear-cut, angular network.
The overlapping grids and diagonal lines on the borders make it a city that is regular and symmetrical but slightly lacking in agility.
Due to Umoyan's changeable climate, extreme weather such as hurricanes and storms makes areas with stable environments and suitable climates extremely valuable. Even as a planet with many plains, Umoyan's land resources are quite scarce. Humans must
After racking their brains to utilize precious land, residential areas with high-rise residential buildings replaced the residential communities and livestock cooperatives that the Keha people were accustomed to, becoming the basis for their residence and daily life.
It was early morning local time, and the rising sun created a magnificent scene. The long-wavelength light refracted in the atmosphere left lines like citrus veins in the bright orange sky of Yumoyang.
Thin red-orange lines, like the cross-section of a blood orange. From time to time, the meteor shower flashes past, like fireworks that flicker.
In the beautiful background, the silver-white high-rise buildings of the world reflect the bright orange-red light, like a transparent crystal city, with the spires of the high-rise buildings forming a jagged horizon.
At the end of the city is a crystal ore processing factory, a gas refinery and a heavy factory composed of square glass and steel buildings. It uses Umoyan anti-gravity technology to float above the city and connect to the interstellar space to connect non-stop routes from the surface of the planet to the space orbit.
, the thousands-foot-long hauling barges are also like black dots on the distant horizon.
It seems that the colorful city and the orange sky are still, as beautiful as a painting by an impressionist painter.
Augustus stood in the center of a huge circular square paved with square stone bricks, flanked by revolutionary soldiers with flying ribbons. This square is located in the center of New Stirling, at the heart of the city.
Between the three landmark buildings, a tall red city wall surrounds the entire square.
This central square covering one-fifth of the city center follows the name of Stillling City Square and is named after Augustus' grandfather. At the same time, this square is not empty. It has restored
The Senate House of Khar and the cemetery that were originally used to bury many Mengsk and noble nobles are now buried here where tens of millions of sacrificed Revolutionary Army soldiers are buried.
In the center of the square stands a brass statue of Augustus's grandfather. This stern-faced man with short hair is wearing a robe. At his feet lie two steely wolves with wide eyes. Looking past this statue, you can see
Seeing tens of thousands of black tombstones with crosses engraved on the top, there is a bouquet of flowers in front of each tombstone.
A tall monument is engraved with a sentence from the earth for hundreds of years: Your names are unknown to everyone, but your achievements will last forever.
This cemetery is where soldiers who died in the Battle of Korhal, the Battle of Dalarian, the Battle of Tarsonis, and Mar Sara are buried. Some of the remains of the soldiers were not recovered, and their bodies are buried here.
A suicide note, a relic, or a sealed gun.
The youngest among the victims was only sixteen years old, and the oldest was fifty-five. Many of them never thought that they would pick up a gun one day before joining the revolutionary army. Some even
I never saw a gun or a beaten body.
They have many identities, including fathers, sons, husbands, wives... patriots, enthusiastic soldiers who join the army with fearless dedication, or simply social dregs who are infected by the atmosphere and want to make a comeback.
opportunists. But now, these people all have the same identity.
Augustus was wearing the dark gray cloak that had been with him in Korhal, Port of the Dead and Mar Sara, looking up at the sky and city outside the square walls.
The silver city in the mountains, the pure crystal city, the refuge of the Korhal people, the last place of purity.
After Augustus led the revolutionary fleet into deep space without hesitation, Angus and his staff worked diligently to rebuild a shelter that could protect their people from wind and rain.
Korhal's skilled craftsmen, the most cutting-edge scholars in various industries, and the foundation of a nation - the most ordinary people were saved from being destroyed along with their home planet. They quickly used their own hands and wisdom to reshape the dignity of the Korhal people.
.The industry and real economy recovered in just over a year. The shame and hatred made the people of Korhal start to work hard even if they had no hope of revenge.
The Korhal people of Umoyan pursue their almost paranoid creed, which is to take back everything that originally belonged to them from the Terran Federation.
The breeze blew through the square with green bricks and red walls, and there was a strange fragrance unique to Umoyan in the air. This refreshing fragrance has the effect of relieving tension, which is why the Umoyan people are far less grumpy than the Camorian people.
The people here are neither arrogant nor indifferent, they always treat others with a smile.
Far away there was a train track suspended in mid-air, and a train with a speed of more than three hundred miles per hour passed by.
Augustus knew that the train was full of Revolutionary Fleet soldiers rushing back to their families. For these soldiers who had followed Augustus to fight and sail in the universe for so long, they must have brought them with them.
Returning to his family with the joy of surviving the disaster.
The unchanging training on the battleship and the depressing atmosphere without seeing the sun have caused psychological problems and various diseases caused by the alien environment in the fleet to always accompany these brave warriors, which lasted for months or even a year in the dark.
Time and space navigation is a test for anyone's will.
Now, under the arrangements of Augustus and Warfield, the Korkha soldiers in the revolutionary army can land in Yumoyan in batches to reunite with their families. Even the Port of the Dead, Mar Sara and even the resocialized soldiers
Everyone got their own vacation.
Compared with the soldiers buried in Auguste Square, the Revolutionary Army soldiers on the train could return to their families with the glory they wanted to achieve. When they got off the train, they were enthusiastic Umoyan Protector Army officers.
Greeted by beautiful girls holding flowers, everyone can get a kiss from a young girl.
Augustus withdrew his gaze from the passing suspended train, and finally looked at Rick Kidd, who was standing in front of the tombstone. He had just buried his adjutant who died in Beisher and the man who died for him.
Protect your own soldiers.
Lundstein stood silently in front of the graves of his two uncles, four nephews and his father. Harnack was holding the tombstone of Kurt Josephine and crying loudly, probably remembering the memory of him and her in Tula.
The past of fighting for food during the Sith II boot camp.
In addition to them, there is also a Heavenly Demon named Henry Lane buried here. Like all members of the Heavenly Demon platoon, Henry soon became a senior officer of the Revolutionary Army, leading an elite paratroopers
force.
Of course Augustus still remembered the devil from heaven who had saved him.
Henry's death had nothing to do with courage or cowardice, it was just because the battlecruiser he was on was unfortunately destroyed by the Federation Navy during the Battle of Tarsonis.
Thousands of soldiers died over time like sand in an hourglass. Most of the soldiers were fused in an instant in a plasma that was enough to melt the steel plates of a battlecruiser, because the destroyed battleship was between the warring parties.
, lack of support. The surviving soldiers continued to fight until the last man died a long and painful death due to lack of oxygen and hypothermia a few hours later.
In the long silence, Augustus always stood upright, like a statue. Kerrigan and the other guards beside Augustus were silent until a man with the same dark gray hair color as Augustus and
The man with bright eyes walked slowly from the other side of the square.
"Someone told me that you have been staying here these days, burying dead soldiers with your own hands, and you are exhausted and unwilling to stop."
Augustus looked around and saw Arcturus's face with neat moustache and thick eyebrows. Arcturus Mengsk looked at his brother with a sincere look that made everyone's attention.
There is no doubt that he loves his brother deeply.
Even though he has not become a politician or a soldier, Arcturus, as a mine owner, pays great attention to his image. He is wearing a black coat and matching trousers, with a belt tied around his waist.
An electromagnetic pistol and a sharp sword. The finely crafted spindle buttons on the coat and the emblem of the Mengsk family complement this outfit perfectly. The bright red whip ring emblem of the Son of Korhal adds to his cold temperament.
.
Regardless of any status that can show his nobility, Arcturus can show his upright majesty and power just by wearing a black coat instead of a solemn cloak.
Everyone in the Arcturus family is a natural leader, and they always have a calm temperament and a demeanor that is unfazed by favors and humiliations. If Augustus is Korhal's eagle and wolf, then Arcturus is undoubtedly
A lion of the plains.
Arcturus, which means the brightest star in the constellation Boötes, is also one of the brightest stars in the sky on earth, and he is the person named after this, he is the most shining
Star.
The name Augustus comes from the title of Octavian Caesar, the title of the Russian Tsar and Holy Roman Emperor, while Valerian is the name of an ancient Roman emperor.
"All of us are very sad." Augustus looked at his brother and said: "We have experienced too many life and death, and we will experience more in the future."
"No matter what, it's great to see you again."
"There is no need for me to tell you that there is no point in wallowing in sadness. Augustus, we have too many things to do and there is no time to be sad." Arcturus walked towards Augustus with powerful steps.
He was accompanied only by Sons of Korhal agents.
The Sons of Korhal's symbol comes from the Revolutionary Army emblem designed by Augustus himself, with bloody serrations added to the whip. This organization that terrifies Tarsonis nobles and Federation officials has never concealed that it is a populist terror.
organization, their clear and only goal is to take revenge on the founding family and politicians who signed the motion and decree to destroy Korhal IV.
It only took the founder of this organization a year to shape it into a collection of the darkest and most deranged terrorists in the eyes of the Terran Federation. Arcturus Mengsk is fully capable of leading an army or
It is a larger organization, but for now, he is only focusing on opening up new mines and finding a new home for Korhal.
After all, Arcturus is not alone. Strictly speaking, the development of New Stirling and the Revolutionary Army depends on his achievements in the mining industry.
In the past, Arcturus learned the knowledge of the mining industry purely based on his hobbies, but now he has other responsibilities that he can never shirk - to protect his people.
Augustus was leading the battle, while Arcturus almost single-handedly reshaped Stillling and the already collapsed economy. Arcturus' goal was far beyond that, and he forged ahead.
Okay, just want to build an unparalleled fleet for Augustus and revive Korhal.
"I know." Augustus agreed with his brother's words.
Arcturus put his hand on Augustus's shoulder: "I heard about the victory you achieved. If it weren't for the mines and New Stillling, maybe I would have led the army to the front line."
"You don't have to worry about our people becoming refugees. Everything is fine in New Stirling." Arcturus said to his brother: "Don't worry about completing what you should do. Finally one day we will overthrow the tyranny."
The rule of the ruler and justice.”
"And the Tagore family of Tarsonis will pay the price soon. Andrea Tagore destroyed Korhal, and I will cut off her descendants. For a long time, more than three members of the Creation family have died at the hands of Korhal's sons.
ten people."
"This is not enough," said Augustus.
"Haha——" Arcturus smiled: "Of course not enough, far from enough."
"I have received reliable information. After repeated confirmations from the Sons of Korhal, the August National Security Council, and Umoyan agents, we can confirm that the founding families of Tarsonis are transferring the heirs of their families and the younger families.
Members transferred to Terrador IX——" he said.
"Since the establishment of the Terrador settlement, the undeveloped tourist planet has been the back garden of the founding families, and they own many industries and properties there."
