"The work of cleaning the battlefield, recovering spaceships, and detaining prisoners of war has been basically completed. Only a few Federation battlecruiser scraps that cannot be towed back to the dock are still floating on the battlefield in Sigmaris synchronous orbit.
In the corridor inside Hyperion's long and narrow T-shaped ship, Sarah Kerrigan caught up with Augustus who was walking out of the crew cabin where the soldiers lived.
At this time, Kerrigan was wearing a slim-fitting dark blue navy gown and a military suit, with a waist-cinching design that perfectly outlined her slender figure. Her long fiery red hair was tied high behind her head, and her cheeks were
The two strands of hair are braided into a braid and intertwined back at the top of the bun.
The hair in front of Kerrigan's forehead was also neatly combed to one side, which further accentuated her jewel-like green eyes.
"In addition to the six captured Federation battleships that have newly joined our fleet after simple repairs, the other three severely damaged battlecruisers are heading to the Umoyan Fortress starport closest to the Sigmaris system.
It's a year-long restoration effort," Kerrigan said.
"The crew members of these former federal warships were dispersed to various transport ships and supply ships. As for those who would rather die than join the revolutionary army, they were temporarily detained in temporary prisons on the Valhalla satellite."
"How is the reconstruction work on Valhalla completed?" Augustus had just arrived at Hyperion to see the soldiers in the crew cabin. The young soldiers who had entrusted their lives to the revolution expressed their admiration.
shy.
The Hyperion has left the Sigmaris system a week ago and is in a stable state of hyperspace navigation. It is extremely difficult to sleep in this state. In addition to endlessly analyzing star maps and guessing the war intentions of the UED and the Federation, Augustus
He simply spent more time patrolling his precious battleship.
After the Battle of Sigmaris, the captured federal warships and soldiers greatly made up for the losses of the Revolutionary Fleet in this battle. Under the command of Augustus, this fleet still has extremely powerful combat effectiveness and deterrence.
However, the Hyperion's internal facilities were severely damaged in this battle, and even most of the wiring was burned. The energy released from the sun's core during the battle almost melted the entire engine room of the Hyperion, and its internal temperature
At one point it reached nearly a thousand degrees Celsius, evaporating four cooling tower facilities at once.
This almost caused the Hyperion to completely lose power and had to activate backup transmission lines.
"Following your order, Major Marcus has urgently appointed a large number of shipboard engineers and federal engineering groups from the former Federal Delta Squadron, Beta Squadron and Sigma Squadron. At the current rate, the newly established Waha will be completed by next month at the latest.
By opening the weapons lab, we can get back to developing new weapons," Kerrigan told the Augustus Report.
"Wahala Prototype Weapon Laboratory, which will become the cradle of new technology."
"I'm very satisfied." Augustus has already envisioned the appearance of the Odin Thor and the Minotaur-class Gorgon-class battlecruisers. What he has to do after that is to continuously deliver supplies to the Valhalla Laboratory.
Personnel and funding.
"As long as new weapons become more and more powerful, our soldiers will no longer have to make as big sacrifices as in the past to achieve final victory.'
"Good evening, Marshal." At this time, two Revolutionary Army engineers carrying coils of cables on their shoulders walked past Augustus and Kerrigan.
"Lieutenant Kerrigan, you are becoming more and more charming." Annabelle Thatcher said.
"Oh, cutie," Kerrigan said to Annabelle, blinking her bright green eyes.
"Good evening, Otto, where are you going?" Augustus put his hands on his waist.
"It's the cold storage room, sir. If you insist on asking why, I have to tell you that you broke it. Thanks to you, we have been eating canned food for a week." Otto is a tall man with dark brown skin.
Man, this skin color is natural and comes from the strong sunshine in his hometown of Meinhof.
"Besides, after we finish, we have to go to the security control room and the dock control room to clean up the mess. It's a mess there." "It's all my fault, good brother." Augustus coughed lightly: "Wait until the battle is over.
From now on, I will definitely treat you to a big dinner
"Okay, okay, my son has always wanted to try Tarsonis' flat raspberry pastry and cream cheese." Otto said before turning a corner: "Wait until I finish my work.
I think it will probably take another year."
"You can do whatever you want," Augustus said.
"How about it? Don't forget to buy the beautiful woman a drink, gentleman?" Even though Annabelle was wearing heavy work clothes and smelled of sweat and engine oil, she couldn't stop the girl's youthful vitality and natural beauty.
"You have to thank us properly, don't you?'
"It's a deal." Augustus promised, swearing that he would remember this.
Augustus was not always stern. He was kind and respectful, but still majestic. In any case, as long as the revolutionary army dared to say a few words to Augustus, they would find that the marshal was not at all
horrible.
He was neither a moody person nor a self-assertive teacher. If he had not joined the revolution, Augustus might now be the owner of a manor in a remote and unknown beautiful world. It must be interesting and exciting.
Dear man.
As Arcturus, he was also approachable and amiable, and everyone who met him was deeply impressed by him. Most of the Mengsk family were like this, but Arcturus was more profound than Augustus.
Much colder, at least he would never be in the mood to chat with his subordinates.
"The engineering team complained a lot about you, and the Hyperion almost fell apart due to your efforts." Kerrigan said with a smile.
"I can only say that I hope they live a fulfilling life." Augustus sighed, knowing that if he waited for the Hyperion to be repaired, he would still do what he did last time if he had the chance.
Engineers wearing outdoor environment work clothes occasionally passed by in the corridor, running hurriedly to the cabin where the chief engineer of the engineering team, Rory Swann, asked them to rush to repair the pipelines and electronic systems damaged by the overload of the solar core.
This has always been a huge project, and all the engineers have been made gray and exhausted by the heavy work during this period. Because almost the entire ship of the Hyperion is now full of problems, if not for the jump engine that has not been affected.
, even completing a conventional time and space jump is problematic.
That's it, the engineers still have to worry all the time that this old ship, which has been tortured and is almost falling apart, will not have any other problems.
Only thanks to the miraculous Revolutionary Army Engineering Corps, Augustus was able to maintain such a huge fleet.
In response to this, the angry Rory Swann and Victor Kaczynski did not jump up and slap Augustus in the face, although in the words of the former, it was - my people and I handed over this baby.
It was nice when I gave it to you, with nice curves and a sound as sweet as a whistle. You idiot! You screwed up the whole thing!
But that's where Swann's dirty talk ends. He has no time to complain about his lavish boss. There is still a lot of work waiting for him to do. It is true that Augustus paid a lot of money to recruit Swann and
His men work for themselves, but the value they create is ten times or hundreds of times their salary.
Swann is a grumpy boss who is willing to work hard. Since immersing himself in machinery and working non-stop is Swann's hobby, he almost never stops.
"Thank God, Swann understands my difficulties." Augustus spread his hands and said, "That's why I say that Swann is the best engineer in this century, bar none.
"As long as you praise him like this, Swann will stop complaining immediately." Kerrigan said: "Tychus is right, the boss who understands people's hearts is the most terrifying."
"Is it time?" Augustus raised his hand and looked at his watch at this time.
"It's time to open the sub-space channel. Let's go to the bridge." He opened the Hyperion's internal communication channel. "The 9th and 11th Battalions of the Guards Division are dispatching on the lower deck of the Hyperion.
Assemble in the cabin and check your power armor and Gauss rifle for the last time. That is your second life.'
"Damn it, where's the Tychus? I haven't seen him in twenty hours. Where's he hanging out?'
Twenty minutes later, the Hyperion jumped out of the sub-space channel, and more than forty-five Revolutionary Army battlecruisers followed closely behind, forming a neat formation to defend the flagship in the center.
These unparalleled behemoths are lined with the red light of lights and sensor arrays. Countless portholes are flashing with little lights. Thousands of escort fleets and fighter planes leap out of the iris of the exit of the sub-time and space channel one after another, in a distorted space.
There is a sparkling beauty in blue light that complements each other.
The sky was full of starlight pouring on the flagship of the Hyperion. This strange but beautiful starry sky suddenly appeared in front of Augustus. A light cyan planet seemed to suddenly jump out, and it was shrouded in another
In the unparalleled brilliance of the huge deep yellow giant gas planet, the volume of that gas planet is more than a thousand times that of the earth.
The star of the Norris Galaxy is a bright and dazzling light point, and its distorted temperature can be felt even at this distance. This is a young main sequence star with a bad temper, and it no longer releases bright light to the outside world all the time.
of light, heat and terrible radiation.
It was so bright that it looked dangerous and dazzling.
Norris VI is one of its many moons, with a thin atmosphere and cold, dark oceans covering its surface.
This satellite is even larger than the Earth. It has a cold climate and strange monsters living in the dark ocean. Towering mountains stand on its only continent. Those towering mountains are invisible even in outer space orbit.
You can see that these mountains are so high that a person without any equipment would die from lack of oxygen when climbing halfway up the mountain.
Among the many planets of the Tyranid Federation, Norris vi is not a planet that was included in its territory due to colonization. Since it entered the table of the Federation Parliament, it has been used as the main base for the resocialized soldier program.
.
According to expectations, the soldiers produced by Norris Guards are not only enough to make up for the huge losses of the Terran Federation in the first total war, but also can provide a "very large number of refugees" who are homeless and causing riots in the core world of the Federation.
"OK" is taken out.
In the icy blue flash of Norris, a huge top-shaped star port located in its synchronous orbit had an astonishing throughput. When the Revolutionary Fleet arrived, there were many federal transport ships in its vast docking port.
Ups and downs.
Just after jumping into this galaxy, the Revolutionary Army fleet was attacked by a federal navy fleet. The space station and sentry turrets located in the galaxy fired rows of orange-red barrages into space, like the bright red fangs spit out by poisonous snakes.
.
A thrilling war ensued, and the federal garrison there had apparently received news of Delta Squadron's defeat in the Sigmaris system.
More than sixteen Terran Federation warships guard Norris Guard VI, equivalent to a full squadron.
A series of missiles attacked the revolutionary army fleet, and the shining laser cannons densely woven the starry sky. From time to time, the revolutionary army ships were hit and turned into a ball of fire.
"Attack," Augustus ordered.
Large numbers of revolutionary warships speeded towards Norris Guardsvi, like thousands of arrows being fired, and the flames of the giant cannons turned the entire starry sky into a sea of light.
"What's going on? I heard that we can't get off the ship until tomorrow." Tychus Finlay was wearing a suit of power armor, and the pattern on his shoulder armor had been replaced by a woman wearing black stockings and beautiful red lips.
"You are mistaken," Augustus replied.
Arcturus Mengsk and Harnak Hank walked up from the other side of the bridge. Their crimson power armors both had golden wolf head logos, and Harnak's Heavenly Demon emblem showed that
of his special relationship with Augustus.
"The Federation's defense force in this galaxy is unusually strong." Arcturus carried an AGR-14 rifle on his back. This reliable weapon came from one of his deceased comrades.
"I suspect that there are many ugly inside stories in Norris's resocialization factory that the federation is unwilling to reveal. It is no secret to us that the federation is transforming innocent federal citizens instead of death row prisoners into soldiers, but
Suffering from the lack of substantial evidence.'
"You're right." Augustus nodded.
"The Federation is unwilling to give up Norris not only because there are factories here that can produce thousands of early socialized soldiers. They brainwashed people who knew nothing about their tragic fate and turned them into killing machines.
.No one with conscience and morality will accept this approach."
"Only we can save the people here." Arcturus said.
"Warfield." When Augustus said, Warfield's serious face had already appeared on the Hyperion's main screen.
"We have an absolute advantage in the number of warships. I order you to defeat Norris's federal fleet as quickly as possible. Attack immediately and show no mercy." He said.
