"I never expected that it would be you who are here... from the Revolutionary Army! Sons of Korhal!"
Duke's Alpha Squadron moved forward and soon dispersed the Garmu Swarm Springtails near Norman Town, opening a way for Augustus to lead to the town.
Not long after, Augustus met the Sheriff of Northam outside an old gas refining plant outside the town.
The local police chief was wearing an old-fashioned CMC-200 alloy steel power armor with flecks of lavender paint. He was wearing a P-180 pistol and an old shotgun on his shoulder.
"We happened to be nearby. Officer, what happened here, where are the federal marines?" Augustus, followed by Kerrigan and others, walked towards the conscientious town sheriff and asked a knowledgeable man
The locals helped Augustus figure out what was really going on here.
At this time, behind Augustus stood a row of guard soldiers with crimson power armor and gold badges. A huge Goliath armed robot stood next to it, and the cannon under the cockpit rotated with the servo system.
Sweeping through the purple-red bushes swaying in the wind on the reddish-brown land. The bushes here are still blooming with small light yellow flowers, but the bushes on the land that have been covered by fungi have withered.
"The mayor of Ansadar mobilized all the troops here to guard the city... They left us to those monsters and left the people of Norman Town to fend for themselves." The Sheriff was opening the phone.
A sigh came from under the mask. A face with a bald head and long gray beard appeared in front of Augustus.
"We tried to escape into the city, but the monsters came too quickly. One day we just heard that some monsters with insect eyes attacked a self-operated mine, and the next day monsters rushed into the town and overturned trash cans and
Oil barrel." He looked very old, probably older than Augustus' grandfather.
"The police officers heard that a big dog had knocked down a child, so I rushed over with my men... I have lived for more than sixty years, and I have seen a woman dismember her husband.
I have seen man-eating demons in the northern city-state of Antiga, but I have never seen such a half-eaten corpse full of worms."
"We all know how scary that is...Zergs will eat people, maybe not because of hunger, but just to satisfy their primitive hunting desire." Augustus handed over a hand as he spoke.
The Sheriff has a Federal Marine No. 4 Ration - a tasteless energy bar, but it is good at replenishing energy quickly.
The most important thing is that this number of military rations is quite hungry.
Behind the old law enforcement officer were the Alpha Squadron soldiers and militiamen who were retreating from the Norman town. Behind the tall soldiers were hundreds of town residents, some of whom could no longer run with their backs on their backs.
of children.
When the soldiers of Alpha Squadron passed by Augustus, the dazed eyes of the rescued children hurt him deeply, which made Augustus convinced that he was doing the right thing.
"Can you still keep up with us, Sheriff?" Augustus said to the old man.
"Join us, Sheriff. Every time you kill a zerg, someone may be rescued. The Federation does not care about the life and death of the people of Antiga, and we have Augustus Mengsk's revolutionary army." Raynor smiled.
, making it clear that the person in front of him was the marshal of the Korhal Revolutionary Army.
"What could be more fun than killing bugs?"
"We are joined by good people and freedom fighters..." Kerrigan added.
"Of course, we have long had enough of the oppression of those federal people. As long as you give the order, Commander Mengsk, most of Antiga will rise up." The Antiga Sheriff did not eat Augustus for him.
Instead, he handed the energy bar to a child walking by.
"Ever since you last defeated Alpha Squadron in Mar Sara and brought shame to the reputation of the Duke family, many people here have been looking forward to your coming to Antiga one day. Now all the Antiga people are looking forward to it.
I hope someone can rebuild a new order and fulfill the promises that the Terran Federation has not fulfilled." He said with a smile.
"I have a bucket of red paint at home, but unfortunately I couldn't bring it out." The Sheriff pointed to the soldiers behind Augustus, and then took out a poster from the storage unit on his power armor, which read
: Augustus Mengsk, the greatest demon in Heaven, the hero of Korhal, the savior of the Tyranids!
There are a few lines of small print below, which are words that Augustus once said, such as the fire of revolution can start a prairie fire, and other words that even he himself is not sure whether he said.
"This seems to be a propaganda poster drawn by people from the Pan-Terran Revolutionary Party, and was secretly printed by the OGB in various fringe sectors. You are a celebrity now, Augustus." Reno pointed to the poster.
"The painting is really good - the shadow in the back seems to be me, and those faceless marines must be Tychus, Hank and Lundstein."
"This is also what the people of Arcturus have been doing...My brother believes that achieving a great victory is only the first step to success. The most important thing is to publicize this matter.
." Augustus took the poster from the hands of the magistrate.
"The founding family of Tarsonis controls all mainstream media, and we can only use this stupid method to promote our revolutionary ideals."
"He really loves you, Augustus." Reno was envious.
"I have a good brother." Augustus shrugged.
"As long as we occupy the broadcasting tower in Ansadar, everyone in Antiga will know that we are coming," he said.
"It would be easy to overthrow the federal government here, but I'm afraid we can't hold it."
When Augustus arrived in the Sara system, Cha Sara had almost completely fallen, and the underground of Mar Sara was almost hollowed out by the Jormungandr swarm. The zerg had just invaded Anti.
Not long after joining, although the federal army was almost completely wiped out, it was still delayed for a while.
"No matter what, if we see the situation is not right, we will leave immediately," Renault said.
"Go to Ansadar first. Let's take over the city first. Only by building defenses on buildings can we save more people." Augustus said, "This time is different. The stars will help us."
"...Hey...can you hear me? I am Tychus. You have to be careful, Marshal~ We encountered the armored troops of the federal army. It seems that we are not the only ones here.
army."
"We are already outside the west city of Ansadar, but... they don't seem to welcome us." At this time, Tychus's voice came from Augustus' helmet.
"I am Augustus Mengsk." Augustus turned his head and waved to the troops behind him, and the soldiers in formation immediately turned to the distant city of Ansadar.
"Tychus, it sounds like you're in trouble."
"There was a bastard who shot at me just now. According to the rules, that means I can fight back?" The sound of a laser lighter being turned on came from the other end of Tychus.
"I didn't say you can't do that." Augustus followed his team, while Renault walked with the Sheriff of Norman Town to ask him what methods he had used to deal with the zerg these days.
"Kill them."
"I just like your crisp style - ah - follow me and beat them until they surrender." Immediately from the other side of the communication came Tychus's roar and chaotic gunfire, sharp and tragic.
The scream and the collision of heavy objects exploded in Augustus' ears, which forced him to shut down the communication with Tychus.
At this time, the revolutionary army was less than a mile away from Ansadar City. They could already see the airships hovering over the city and the rising flares. The thunderous rumbling of cannons heralded the arrival of Tychus.
troops have begun to exchange fire with federal troops guarding the entrance to the city.
Attacking with Tychus this time were Harnak Hank's Red Devil Flametroopers and the Sara system militia of Mar Sara Archon Pryor, whom Augustus had just recruited. Although these commanders
Their personalities are different, but their attacks are all known for their swiftness and speed.
As he got closer to the city, some huge biological fossils appeared in Augustus' eyes. The bones of these sea creatures were originally buried deep in the ground, but they were recently dug up by the zerg.
"Advance, capture Ansadar, and occupy the governor's palace." Augustus walked through a huge rib skeleton of an ancient Antican sea creature and stood a few hundred yards away from an outpost.
Next to the outpost is a wide road that leads directly to the center of Ansadar. Bunkers and fortifications are now built at the entrance, and barbed wire and minefields are laid.
In the other direction of the city, Tychus' troops had already invaded the city's neighborhoods, which obviously caused considerable chaos in the city.
"If they couldn't even deal with Tychus and the Governor's people, how could they hold on to Ansadar City for so long." Raynor said.
"Ansadar has never been fully attacked by those monsters." The Sheriff of Norman Town said: "The mayor may have claimed that the city is under siege when asking for help from the outside world, but we all know the facts.
That’s not the case.”
"This is normal. We should not have excessive expectations from these fools." Augustus said.
"General Duke, order our artillery to prepare to fire." Augustus said to Edmund Duke beside him.
However, just when Augustus ordered the attack, a white flag suddenly rose in the bunker.
"We surrender!" a tired voice came from the loudspeaker in the federal fortifications.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of federal soldiers walked out of bunkers, forts and tanks, raised their hands and surrendered to Augustus' troops. As long as they saw the uniforms and weapons of these veteran soldiers, both Augustus and Reno were able to
Understand why they did not fight to the death like resocialized soldiers.
Some of the militiamen did not even have decent powered armor, and many of them were even policemen in black cloth uniforms from the colonial police station, and there were also some citizens of Ansadar who volunteered to assist in the defense.
"They all surrendered sincerely." Kerrigan said to Augustus: "We should accept their surrender."
For a long time, the red-haired female ghost Sarah Kerrigan has been tasked with the more than twenty ghost agents in the Revolutionary Army to screen the loyalty of recruits for the recruitment department, the Revolutionary Party and the OGB. These
Among the ghosts are seven ghost agents from Victor V, as well as a dozen psykers from Alpha Squadron.
Prior to this, the Federation regarded psykers as killers and humanoid weapons, and would not allow them to be exposed to political and religious review work in the government and the military, because federal officials believed that this was unnecessary and did not trust those who had been brainwashed or
Powerful psykers who work for them only under duress.
Augustus was the first to do this. But among them, only Kerrigan was trusted by Augustus the most.
"After taking over this position, continue to advance until you capture all the federal officials," Augustus said.
When Augustus gave the order, the Guards Division rushed into the neighborhood after running at full speed. Unsurprisingly, these soldiers surrendered as soon as they saw the flag of the Korhar Revolutionary Army. Because they had long been hostile to Antioch.
Canada's federal government is dissatisfied.
A red Revolutionary Army flag followed a Revolutionary Army Vulture car heading into the city, and the hastily organized federal troops fled upon hearing the news.
"Isn't it a little too smooth?" Renault said: "I always feel that things are not that simple."
"Maybe it's just that the enemies we face are far less capable of fighting than Alpha Squadron and Omega Squadron." Augustus said, and under the protection of Kerrigan and others, he walked towards the bunker group built by the Federation on the road and found the military rank here.
The highest-ranking federal officer - a second lieutenant who had just graduated from the military academy.
"We are looking forward to your coming day and night. The people of Antiga have endured too much oppression." The federal second lieutenant grabbed Augustus' hand.
"Marshal, I have read the book you wrote. The words in it deeply affected me: If we must do this, we can only re-establish a new order and law on the ruins of the Tyranid Federation. If
The ruler of the Federation has forgotten everything he promised to the joined colonies, and it is up to me, Augustus Mengsk, to complete it."
"I'm really happy that these words can help you..." Augustus looked at Kerrigan next to him. The meaning of his eyes was obviously: I have an impression of this sentence, but what is the specific meaning?
When was it said?
"Yes, this comes from your last speech at the graduation ceremony of the Revolutionary Army's third recruit training camp." Kerrigan nodded.
"Oh my god, you guys really didn't write everything Augustus said into the brochure." Reynold's reaction was similar to what Augustus was thinking.
"Every word of the Marshal is a wise saying." As a staunch Augustus fan, Kerrigan said with certainty.
At this moment, Augustus' power armor suddenly received a communication signal from an unknown source.
"Listen, rebels on the ground, I am General Jackson Howler of the Terran Federation Nova Squadron. Put down your weapons and surrender immediately, otherwise you will have to pay the price for destroying the federal military base."
"Damn it, if it weren't for us, the infection would definitely spread to the entire Ansadar. If you didn't come here slowly, there would be no need for us!" Renault yelled.
