In the office of Administrative Officer Dorian, Sarah Kerrigan, deputy marshal of the Korhal Revolutionary Army, was gathering the documents on the maple leaf desk into a safe, and then she put several gold-plated copies of The Prince, Koprulu
Geography and particle physics were placed in another suitcase that he carried with him. These were Augustus' personal belongings.
After the riot in the immigration settlement on the mainland, Augustus went to inspect the troops and wounded soldiers who had just been withdrawn from the front line. In the past few years, the revolutionary army was either fighting or on the way to fight. The soldiers
They have a strong will to fight based on their faith, but they are still mortal bodies, and Augustus' encouragement is crucial.
"We have been in Helsinn for some days." Augustus concentrated on the holographic projection star map projected on the wall, which showed the planets, satellites and asteroid belts of the Helsinn system.
"In the past few days, together with the protoss warriors, we have killed and driven out countless Gamu zerg, reestablished the order of Helsain that was on the verge of collapse, and millions of people have been saved because of our arrival." He
explain.
"Half of the cities and factories can resume operation, and some areas in the northern hemisphere have also entered the autumn harvest stage."
"It's time to retire." Kerrigan knew what Augustus was thinking, even if she didn't use telepathy to read his thoughts.
"The swarms will not stop invading the Koprulu sector, nor will they stop their thirst for genes and evolution, but at least we have stopped them in places like Altera, Vadona, and Helzen." Ao
Gustus said.
"More worlds have heard about our righteous deeds of saving lives, helping the poor, and our heroic feats of confronting the swarm head-on to defend humanity. More innocent people who can't stand the oppression of the Federation have heard our voices for the first time."
"Even after the revolutionary army leaves Hylsene, the people here will remember our efforts on this planet to abolish the corrupt regime and make people live a better life. When the Terran Federation regains Hylsene
After we gain control, the oppressed people will think of us again," he said.
"It will no longer be the rulers and plutocrats of the Federation Council who control the fate of ordinary people. The people of the Koprulu Sector must be able to decide their own future."
"Well said, the truth will be revealed to the world one day." Kerrigan took over Augustus' words and said: "You haven't eaten for twenty hours, so you want some toast with Halcyon raspberries.
How about mushroom sauce? The kitchen also has Antiga yak and Terrador caviar.”
"I'll just take some No. 10 rations and water." Augustus said casually: "Leave those for the wounded. I'm not one of those nobles."
"But you are just a noble, a noble from Korhal IV." Kerrigan said: "I think only you can be called a true noble. The nobles in Tarsonis can't even compare to one of your toes.
"
"They are just the remnants of the old era that ruled this world. The dust must be swept away." Augustus turned around and reached out to close the wooden holographic projector placed on the table.
When Augustus put away the projector and handed it to Kerrigan, he kissed the other person's smooth forehead and took his soft but rough hand: "Your hands and feet are cold, my dear. You shouldn't always
You are focusing on me and neglecting yourself."
Augustus didn't realize that his words had made Kerrigan's eyes red. Maybe this woman was more in need of love than he thought.
"Marshal, the spaceship is ready." Corporal Faraday's voice sounded at this time, followed by the huge roar of the transport ship's engine.
The spaceship landed directly on the lawn outside the city hall, and Augustus didn't care whether the transport ship's speed reducer would blacken the grass on the lawn and the entire block of moiré marble. This was all
It is an issue that the next senior local governor should be concerned about, and based on fiscal revenue alone, maintaining this city hall complex, which looks like a wealthy mansion, still requires considerable funds.
Augustus put down the hand that was caressing Kerrigan's cheek, pushed past the office, and saw the captain of the guard, Corporal Faraday, wearing power armor.
"Tell the soldiers to pack up everything and take it with them when they evacuate, including federal government documents, tax records and other useful things." Augustus told Corporal Faraday.
"If possible, I really want to take away all those luxury cars in the underground garage. I heard that some of them are produced in the luxury car factory in Moria. The freight alone is enough for us to build a dozen new cars in Antiga."
Residential building."
"No problem." Corporal Faraday nodded and said, taking several locked portable safety boxes from Kerrigan's hand: "We found a transport ship said to be from the Guild War era in the hangar of the federal military base.
Enough to transport valuables."
As Farah spoke, he solemnly handed the box in his hand to several guardsmen around him - although it might only contain a few books or other gadgets that the marshal liked.
To this day, Augustus still writes letters to his mother, sister Dorothy and nephew Valerian, so a portable personal terminal is indispensable. Arcturus occasionally receives letters from his brother
What made him feel comfortable was that his father Angus had never received a letter from Augustus. He was only a marginal figure and man who was occasionally mentioned.
"Any good thing that falls into the hands of the Federation will be taken from nature." Augustus put his hands on his hips and said: "For the first time, I felt that this bastard Tychus was right, even though at that time he just wanted to
To find an excuse for taking stuff from the federal armory."
"How do you know he hasn't been able to get some from our warehouses?" Kerrigan said to Augustus: "He will also say that only old Tychus will use the materials to support the revolution on the right path.
"
"Tychus always wanted to make a fortune and retire, but when I was still sitting in the revolutionary army and staring at him, this guy didn't dare to do anything." Augustus shook his head and said: "
You can't expect Tychus to have a conscience."
"So I always told him, look, we are all poor as pants. If I find that a bag of flour and a cigarette are missing from the warehouse, then I will definitely blame it on you. Because there is no such thing in the warehouse of the Revolutionary Army.
Rats and thieves," he said.
"If I find out where a gun is missing, I'll rip your head off."
When Augustus was talking, he, Kerrigan and Faraday had already walked to the lawn outside, and took off on an ordinary transport ship painted in gold and red.
In the observation window of the transport ship, the once prosperous urban area of Dorian Administrative District is gradually getting further and further away, and the once empty roads are gradually filled with an endless stream of vehicles. Refugee camps outside the city are also being built by the Revolutionary Army.
Thanks to the efforts of the group, it was filled with homeless people.
When the revolutionary army left, they also took away the local militiamen and their families who had supported them in the past to prevent them from being persecuted when the Terran Federation launched an army to investigate.
The people of the Dorian Region did not bid farewell to the departing revolutionary army, because Augustus never said when they would leave Hirsain. When leaving, the revolutionary army still left two weeks for the people in the refugee camp.
Food and water were enough to last them until federal troops arrived.
Even if the Federation doesn't care about the life and death of these people, as long as they are willing to take action, Hailsene, which is full of farmland, will not starve to death due to lack of supplies like the desolate colonial world.
The transport ship carrying Augustus, Kerrigan and others rose vertically into the air and entered the massive and tightly arrayed Revolutionary Fleet. The number of the Revolutionary Fleet was still expanding. Every time it reached a planet surrounded by worms,
There are always new refugee ships and caravans joining them, praying for the protection of this huge fleet.
At the same time, a small number of Wraith fighters and small spaceships can also be produced in the docks of the Revolutionary Army fleet battlecruisers. Only if a large amount of resources can be invested, the mobile base given to Augustus by the Umoyan Protectorate Army can also produce frigates and
Transport ship.
In the observation window in front of the transport ship, the revolutionary fleet lined up in a row almost blocked the light among the stars. The fleet in the synchronous orbit was always traveling at high speed, and the lights of a total of twenty battlecruisers and thousands of fighter planes seemed to
The lights in the city day and night.
Compared with the mountainous and majestic hull of Norad II, the transport ship seemed unusually small. When Augustus stepped onto the dock deck of Norad, he had served as the governor of the Federation Mar Sara and was now the revolutionary governor.
Lieutenant Colonel Pryor, commander of the Army 051 Division, was waiting for him there.
In the Revolutionary Army, those with higher numbers are all units that were formed during the Korhal War of Independence. They can now be called a battle-tested division. Pryor's division is composed entirely of Cha Sara and Ma Sara.
This is a newly formed division composed of La people, but its combat effectiveness is no longer that of the divisions originally formed by the Korhal people.
The people of Ma Sara are a nation that advocates the spirit of cowboys and warriors. Their ancestors were the first soldiers and miners to mine minerals on this planet, while Cha Sara is the descendant of prisoners and early colonists.
After the swarms and protoss completely destroyed the Sara Twin Planet, the people on the planet vowed revenge. Under the leadership of the wise and courageous former Governor of Mar Sara, Pryor, this division did not take much time.
It became a very cohesive, brave and capable army.
However, this army hates the protoss even more than the zerg. They always believe that the protoss destroyed their homeland, and this view has not changed at all because of Tassadar's friendliness to the human revolutionary army.
"Governor, you're safe." Augustus walked down the gangway of the transport ship, surrounded by Kerrigan and Faraday.
"I learned that your troops performed bravely in Altera, Vadona and Hellsain." He smiled and said to Pryor, who stood with his hands behind his back as straight as pine trees.
To this day, almost everyone in the Revolutionary Army admits that Pryor's military talents are quite excellent and he is outstanding among the army that can produce many generals. However, Pryor himself always believes that his administrative talents are better than others.
Much better than commanding an army, his persistence in this aspect is unimaginable.
"Someone reported to me that Pryor's division killed several times more insects than other divisions, and only the Guards Division and the Second Division could catch up with them." Augustus continued: "He has never seen it before
Such a person was actually able to refuse the help of the protoss and destroy an entire secondary main hive before friendly forces arrived."
"Your military rank is all earned by your meritorious service."
"I thought you didn't like our behavior of rejecting the protoss friendly forces." Pryor spread his hands and said, "It's just that it's very difficult for me to restrain my soldiers from shooting at the protoss army."
"The Ma Sara people are better off. The Cha Sara people who don't know the truth saw their lush and beautiful homeland burned to ashes by the protoss fleet. Even now, the trauma from that time is still tormenting those there.
people."
Prior was not a native of Mar Sara, and he only served as governor for a few days, but he still regarded them as his own people.
"Revenge - yes, how can we not take revenge." Augustus nodded after a moment of silence: "Hate can inspire fighting spirit and turn cowards into roaring warriors."
"One day, mankind will stand among the stars, and all the enemies who have harmed us will have to pay with blood."
"The one who ordered the destruction of Cha Sara and Mal Sara was the Supreme Council of the Protoss Empire, and Tassadar was just the executor of this order." Kerrigan said at this time.
"If it hadn't been for Tassadar, Antiga would have been the next victim."
"I think I can understand." Pryor's dark eyes reflected the lights in the dock: "The war between the stars is not changed by one person's will, and the destruction of the planet is not entirely the fault of the person who gave the order.
, we are all insignificant, as humble as ants."
"I will tell my men that they should seek revenge from the Protoss Conclave."
"They don't understand what the Supreme Council of Stars is." Augustus said.
"This is not difficult to understand. People in the Revolutionary Army all know that the Federation Council deserves death, and the Supreme Council is the same." Pryor said: "You may not know how much the people of the Sara System hate the protoss, except
In addition to killing a few more bugs, they spent the whole day thinking about how to drop a nuclear bomb on the protoss planet."
"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth," he said to Augustus, "this is what you said."
"Put what you have learned into practice." Augustus shrugged.
“But it’s best not to do it—unless absolutely necessary.”
"The Federation fleet jumped in... It's Red Squadron and Gamma Squadron. They have about seventeen battlecruisers." At this time, an alarm sounded in Augustus' ears.
"They're finally here," Pryor said.
"Our reputation is really great." Augustus sighed.
"Augustus, what are your instructions?" came the voice of Lieutenant General Jim Raynor.
"Avoid war." Augustus said: "Jimmy, let's rescue him immediately, so that our old friends in the Federation will not have to think hard about how to entertain us."
"Oh my god, the Federation people opened fire. They bombarded a space station full of refugees!" Renault, who was on the bridge of the Hyperion, suddenly punched the control panel.
"They are still attacking refugee and supply ships!"
"Tell them, they are all civilians up there." Augustus's expression suddenly turned grim.
"It doesn't work," said Renault.
"My father said that they would rather kill a thousand people than let one go. They suspect that they are our people - or in other words, they don't care about the lives of civilians at all!"
