Marshal Augustus Mengsk's breakfast today was a few slices of toasted bread, with sliced butter and jam. At the same time, there were some eggs, bacon and cheese on the marshal's table, as well as a cup of hot
coffee.
These all come from the Besgaden Farm, less than two miles outside the city of New Babylon. The owner there personally drove them here, hoping that the respected Marshal of the Revolutionary Army would accept his products.
As usual, this was prepared by the family cook brought over from Korhal 4 by Arcturus Mengsk, who had some objections to Augustus's minimalist cuisine.
However, no one knew that Augustus still missed the simple soy milk fried dough sticks.
"Good morning. How do you like it?"
Sarah Kerrigan walked in from the open airlock door of the command center. She was dressed in a blue-gray military uniform, with red hair shawl, and a heroic appearance.
Since Augustus first met Kerrigan, this arrogant girl has completely transformed into a sexy and mature woman, as sweet and fragrant as a ripe peach.
Studying and training at the Tarsonis Ghost Academy shaped Kerrigan's strong and calm character, and the tempering of the war made her temperament even more attractive.
Today, Sarah Kerrigan is an extremely outstanding Revolutionary Army soldier. She can complete a difficult mission alone or take over a war on behalf of the commander.
"Very good." For Augustus, what he had in front of him was just a mediocre breakfast, which had no value other than filling his stomach and continuing to work. Augustus would not complain about the basic necessities of life during the war.
Over time he got used to the crooked clothes and bad food.
Augustus did not care whether his life was as hard and monotonous as that of an ascetic, because this was not the time to raise higher demands for it. He believed that he must set an example among the officers in the revolutionary army and remind those who came from civilians.
The backbone of the army who were promoted from non-nobles were strict with themselves.
In Arcturus Mengsk's view, his brother would always forget his status as a noble and put himself on the same level as a commoner. This is precisely one of Augustus's outstanding qualities.
The noble character of a rebel leader.
But to be fair, Arcturus didn't want Augustus to really forget this matter and the fact that he was once a great nobleman of Korhal.
"Duplicity." Kerrigan rolled her eyes at Augustus and put away all the dishes on the table.
When Kerrigan turned around and walked past Augustus, he found that this woman was becoming more and more attractive. Kerrigan had grown taller, became more feminine, and was much more confident.
Augustus had to admit that he felt quite safe standing next to Kerrigan.
"Then, let's get to work after eating. Accepting the administration of Crusader 3 is only the beginning, and reports on the latest developments in UED must be submitted to your desk immediately." Kerrigan said to O
Gusto took away the empty plate.
"I'm going to take stock of the newly arrived supplies in the command center warehouse, including some parts for maintenance facilities. See you later."
"It's so reliable, dear Sarah." Augustus shook his head, stretched his arms, and slowly turned on the holographic projector next to him. Before that, he opened the sunshade roller blinds on the huge windows of the command center, and gently
The sunlight made Augustus feel comfortable and warm.
Even at this height, azure flowers bloom on the mountain peaks, and this family of plants can be found almost everywhere in the Crusaders.
"Of course, I can't imagine what I would do if you left?"
This command center was built on a ridge three thousand feet high and originally belonged to the federal garrison of Crusader Guard 3. It is now used as the marshal's headquarters of the Revolutionary Army.
Compared with the flat old command center during the guild wars, the one where Augustus is located has more components, a stronger reinforced frame and fine steel plate armor, so the general appearance also appears more square and looks like
Like a bulging apple.
The large booster and support arm are firmly mounted on the steep mountain. The ablation-plated outer shell sparkles in the sun. Just the lower support frame is as high as three stories. There are also other facilities in the command center.
It has a complete production line of T-280 space engineering vehicles, which can automatically smelt crystal ore and build machinery.
To the north of the command center is a steep mountain range, and on the other side is a pure blue lake. The city of New Babylon is located under the mountain peaks, and its densely packed buildings are as majestic as the Gasos Mountains next to it.
This inch of sky in the Koprulu Star District is also as clear and pure as blue sky.
A company of revolutionary army recruits undergoing climbing training was crossing the steep rocky path outside the command center. Carrying firearms and green rucksacks for storing ammunition, they advanced breathlessly in a single file. The sergeant at the front of the team held the hand of the soldier.
Holding a flag and constantly cheering for the exhausted recruits.
"When was it that I was like them, knowing nothing about my future, but still full of energy?" When Augustus said this, his eyes seemed to fall through the steep mountains into the distance.
Between the vast plains of New Babylon. It is a desolate and dangerous land, where a terrible insect race called carrion worms rule.
Crusas Guard 3 is not a unique planet in the territory of the Tyranid Federation. In order to survive, the early settlers had to contend with the ferocious wild animal groups on it.
Up to now, the residents of Crusaus 3 have established a self-sufficient society, and the majestic city and the residential area based on the city have begun to take shape. The technology and level on this planet are maintained at an extremely high level.
, belongs to a planet that has been flourishing under the rule of the Federation.
The Crusas people have also forged a tenacious and tenacious quality in their struggle for survival, and their nature seems to have a strange kind of Tyran nationalism and a plot of great unity, thinking that they have unity and unity.
The mission of humanity in the Koprulu Sector, which also made Crusas Guard 3 provide a considerable source of troops for the Federation in the Guild War.
In this huge war that affected the entire territory of the Tyranid Federation, Crusas Guard 3 sided with the Revolutionary Army almost without hesitation.
Just as it was confirmed that the Revolutionary Army was about to arrive on Crusas, local Federation officers launched a military coup to overthrow the planet's federal government, and its governor Alex Stanto was tied to an arc tank to meet Augustus.
·Mengsk.
This was something Augustus had not expected. Crusaus 3 was not a planet that was keen on rebellion in the past. In other words, this planet has always made the Tyranid Federation quite reassured because it has
Many senior officers of the federal army came from here.
Augustus captured Crusader Guard 3 effortlessly, not only avoiding excessive losses and casualties, but also obtaining tanks produced by the Crusa Guard factory and more than 200,000 armored infantry, mountain infantry and
Excellent pilot.
Not only that, the Revolutionary Army's recruitment department easily recruited 100,000 recruits in a matter of weeks.
The soldiers that Augustus is looking at now are the young men from Crusas Guard 3. They are determined to help the Korhal Revolutionary Army defeat the brutal and corrupt Tyranid Federation and the cruel Earth invaders. The Crusas people
They are descendants of the Tarsonis, and the iron-blooded side of their ancestors is vividly displayed in this nation in the corner of Koprulu.
And with Augustus's style of doing things, he will definitely not let these planets that supported him at critical moments regret this act of providing help in times of crisis.
When the team of new recruits gradually faded away, Augustus withdrew his gaze and looked at the dark green star map interface on the holographic screen and the information compiled and uploaded by the intelligence department.
Augustus, the internal government affairs of Crusus Guard 3, has been handed over to Arcturus to manage. In addition, he has not actually arrested or dismissed many key federal government officials. He has only reduced the overly bloated administrative system.
The government and departments that ate empty wages were removed, as if they were removing the withered branches and leaving only the best.
Considering that the governor-general government of Crusas is relatively clean, the assets that need to be seized and recovered will not cause Arcturus's subordinates to be in a hurry. Moreover, Arcturus's political toughness is inconsistent with his gentle approach.
His father was completely different, and Augustus admired his talent in this area.
As for the ongoing war on the main planet of Tarsonis, Augustus is most concerned about it right now. Centered on the federal capital planet of Tarsonis, the core world has become a mess.
The reason why the Crusans sided with Augustus so quickly was mainly because of the invasion of the United Earth Council. They completely regarded the people of Earth as more cruel perpetrators and tyrants.
After a few centuries, the people on Earth once again wanted to rule their long-lost colonies without any effort. It was not that easy.
The first thing Augustus read was the information that his subordinates considered to be the most urgent. Among them, the latest battle situation in Tarsonis was undoubtedly the top priority.
Tarsonis has completely become the main battlefield between the Federation Army and the UED Expeditionary Force. In contrast, the rest of the Federation core worlds have not suffered large-scale military invasions, because the commander of the expeditionary force, Gerald Du
Garr obviously put all his military power on Tarsonis and had no time to worry about other planets.
In Augustus's view, this was an obvious gamble. Because once Dugar was defeated in Tarsonis, or failed to defeat the main force of the Federation fleet and capture the planet as soon as possible, those who came from other Federation colonies would
Reinforcements will surround them.
In fact, all in all, Augustus helped Dugar a lot. The chaos brought by the revolutionary army in the federal world was quite beneficial to Ued's attack tactics.
But if the ued invasion had not brought huge pressure to the federation, Augustus would not have had the opportunity to avoid the main force of the federation and seize so many federation worlds. It is difficult to say clearly who gained more benefits in this process.
big.
Not counting the worlds conquered by Augustus himself, there are a total of 23 planets in the hands of the revolutionary army, most of which are those with stronger economic strength. Such a fast speed of conquest has brought many problems, even if it is to maintain these
The control of the planet has also exhausted Augustus, who is short of manpower.
With the support of these planets, Augustus's army is expanding rapidly. Arcturus Mengsk is indeed the figure who overthrew the Tyranid Federation and established the Tyranid Empire. At least his strong recruiting ability has attracted the attention of Augustus.
Stuart's men are unparalleled.
Augustus read the information on the holographic screen over and over again, his brows sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing.
Even forty-eight hours after the UED launched its attack on Tarsonis, the war was still spreading in the planet's outer space orbit and on the surface. Tarsonis was unsurprisingly the most powerful overall force in the Tyranid Federation.
That one has a population larger than one-tenth of the federal immigration areas combined, and its economy is unparalleled.
Judging from the latest intelligence, agents of the UED expeditionary force had infiltrated the Tarsonis battle long before the outbreak. Not only did they pass the sentries and checkpoints, they did not arouse the vigilance of the Tarsonis federal government.
The ued invaded the federal security data network and completely destroyed the communication equipment of the federal army, causing the sentry turrets and orbital defense artillery fire of the defense platform to be aimed at its own troops. This is probably because the federal technology is based on the super weapon in the colonial mothership.
It was created by computers and has the same origin as the earth, so it is not completely impossible for people on earth to crack it.
In this way, the UED's previous military operations were just delaying time to gain time to crack the federal security network - if the federal fleet had not been stronger than expected, the people on earth would have completely lost control after seizing the battlecruiser at the Dalarian Shipyard.
You can take Tarsonis directly with the strength of your fleet.
Having said that, it was just Augustus's guess, and he still couldn't figure out ued's strategy.
Lieutenant General Alexei Stokov is obviously the mastermind of these plans, because Augustus believes that Gerald may not have such a brain. If so, Narud may also be making suggestions for the people of Earth.
"Hybrid!" But what Augustus didn't expect the most was the hybrid monster that appeared in Tarsonis.
Augustus will never forget the extremely evil image on the holographic screen. They are by no means monsters that humans can easily deal with. A powerful hybrid can easily defeat an entire Tyran company.
They appeared too early, ten years too early. I didn't expect Narud to let these things appear on the frontal battlefield so quickly - this is unreasonable.
Is it possible that Narud wants to promote a terrifying weapon like the hybrid, or is he trying to force the protoss to deal with the ued?
"Report from the asteroid sentry in the L220 system, the Terra family ship they mentioned in the mission briefing on the discovery of Crusaus 8." At this time, the holographic projection cut to the screen of the staff of the command center.
"It's them." Augustus thought for a while and remembered this matter.
A few days ago, a man named Zebediah Terra contacted Augustus using his father Constantine's dedicated communication channel. He said that he had just escaped from Tarsonis and was preparing to join the revolutionary army.
Regardless of the strength of the Terra family and the importance of their support to the revolutionary army, it is impossible for Augustus not to accept Zebediah. After all, the relationship between Augustus and Constantine was so good that he could treat him as uncle and nephew.
proportionate.
Constantine originally wanted Augustus to "worship him as his eldest brother", but the latter refused to agree.
"Adjutant, contact the Bravo Wraith Squadron of Sons of Korhal stationed at the central star port of Crusas and ask them to escort the distinguished guests from afar."
