With Augustus' cautious character of making decisions before taking action and thinking carefully before taking action, if he had commanded Norad III, he would never have rushed forward so recklessly.
The protoss fleet has an absolute advantage in terms of firepower and numbers. Apart from Duke, there is probably no other general in the human race who is as ready to act recklessly as he is at any time.
Duke is rough and arrogant, and he will never look back if he looks in one direction. If Alpha Squadron is facing a piece of tofu, then of course they can smash everything in front of them. If the front is an iron plate with steel nails, then Duke will also fight
Everyone is destroyed.
This old nobleman of Tarsonis with a terrible temper seemed to have no idea what fear was.
As the commander of Duke, he must have the ability to control a strong horse and point it in the right direction.
"As you can see, Marshal, we are going to stop them!" This man, who was called a viper by Renault and others, had a resolute expression at the moment and a burning gaze. Whether he was stupid or ignorant, he really had a sense of fearlessness in him.
courage.
Duke, a disgusting old aristocrat, didn't care much about whether there were millions of lives on Mar Sara waiting for him to save. He only fought for merit and other things related to personal interests.
Like Reno, who truly loves the people he wants to protect, Duke only loves himself and he only cares about himself.
"These protoss warships have just destroyed a planet. Their warships must have exhausted their energy and do not have the ability to fight us." Duke analyzed calmly and came to the conclusion.
"No ship will challenge a huge fleet alone without support. They will definitely think that our support fleet will arrive soon, and they can only retreat at that time."
"Then have you ever thought that they don't care at all whether we have a supporting fleet or have not considered this matter at all?" Augustus was furious: "You idiot."
Although if Augustus guessed correctly, the protoss executive commanding this protoss fleet is very likely to be the future protoss hero Tassadar, and this executive at least does not have any ill will towards humans.
He would kill humans at will, but Augustus couldn't gamble on anything uncertain.
While Augustus was angrily scolding Duke, Norad III had been heading towards the protoss fleet in the orbit of Mar Sara as quickly as possible. Even though Augustus ordered Duke to retreat, Norad III
He still plunged into the attack range of the protoss fleet.
Before Augustus had time to say a few more words to Duke, a technician's shout came from the bridge of the Norad III.
"General, the protoss fleet has disappeared."
"Take the picture immediately," said Augustus.
The Norad III was already very close to the protoss fleet at this time. The huge protoss fleet was like a magnificent golden city floating in the deep black sky. This was an extremely shocking scene, as if humanity was heading towards a lost world.
Floating city.
While the technicians were talking, the protoss fleet battleships on the screen disappeared one after another in the distorted light and shadow.
"The Star Spirits have retreated." Augustus was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled: "They helped us a lot."
Originally, the situation in the Sara galaxy was quite chaotic. Neither the Jormungandr swarm nor the Federation Navy's Omega Squadron could be easily defeated by the revolutionary army. They wanted to evacuate the Mar Sara refugees on a large scale between the two.
It's almost impossible.
Now that the Jörmungandr swarm has suffered heavy losses from the protoss fleet, Augustus is under much less pressure. But the protoss fleet is still a threat, because Augustus doesn't know when they will suddenly jump.
Go to the Sara galaxy and burn Ma Sara again. After all, the protoss is really elusive.
"Hahaha, they are scared." Duke reacted in a very short period of time and accepted the reality of the hasty retreat of the Star Spirits. He laughed loudly: "They are vulnerable to a single blow, whether it is the golden Star Spirit or the Star Spirit.
Tal'darim protoss are all the same."
"As long as they face an enemy who can fight back, the protoss will immediately run away." He said proudly, smiling uncontrollably, as if he had never been so proud in his life.
"Well done, Duke, the facts prove that your decision is correct." Augustus first praised Duke: "I will give you a medal."
"Yes, a new style, a new badge and a new name. It is still shiny and golden. It is definitely different from the hundreds of medals you have. At the same time, I will consider granting you the rank of major general after this battle. Ma Sara
The people were saved thanks to you, but I didn’t expect that you were the one who saved Ma Sara.”
"General, have the protoss still not responded to our call?"
Augustus did not remain happy for long, and his keen mind soon turned to more important things.
"...No." Duke originally thought that Augustus would praise him a few more words to satisfy his vanity, but he didn't care. The important thing is that the power in his hands has increased. This is
The thing that Duke is most addicted to.
"Let me see, those arrogant pointed heads don't even bother to talk to us. In their eyes, we are just monkeys and savages." Duke said, "But it doesn't matter. In my eyes, they are not even comparable to monkeys."
, it’s just a big pile of dung.”
"...We don't know whether they will come back again, and whether they will destroy Mar Sara when they come back." Augustus walked around in the central command room of the revolutionary army fortress.
.
"General Duke, you are the only battleship still in the Sala system." He stopped and thought for a moment before saying.
"I need Alpha Squadron to land in Mar Sara immediately to complete the preparations before evacuating the refugees - the guerrillas we left there will pick you up." Augustus said.
"Then you have to get in touch with the refugees in various parts of Mar Sara and ask them to go to the expected landing point of the transport ship to prepare for evacuation. At the same time, you also have to deal with some of the Jörmungandr swarm troops that have invaded Mar Sara and the forces that are currently in the process of evacuating.
Control the Omega Squadron Marines there and protect the refugees who follow us."
"Why do we have to do this kind of thing? I don't understand how saving so many people will help us overthrow the Federation." Duke frowned, but did not want to disobey Augustus's order: "The federal government never
We will allocate funds to save some refugees, let alone save an entire planet. Often, such things must rely on voluntary donations from non-governmental organizations."
"I know very well what those people in the Federation are like. Of course, I am not nobler than them."
Duke is not a person with a long-term vision. Most of the time, his attention is between the eyes.
"It is precisely because the federation won't do it that we have to do it." Augustus said.
"We never claim to be saviors and saviors, but no one else will do this except us. And the people of the Tyranids will eventually remember everything we have done, and remember that the Revolutionary Army is a benevolent army.
