About one hundred and thirty CF/A-17G Wraith fighters from the 12th and 14th Imperial Air Regiments participated in the siege of the Alexander. This altitude was above the floating clouds, and the sun was like a halo above.
Hundreds of golden-red Wraith fighter planes rose from under the clouds with a fierce force. The enemy also flew out more than sixty Wraith fighter planes covered with tendons, tentacles and tumor-like hyperplasia tissue, which was equivalent to a full squadron. Number of UED Expeditionary Force Fighter Air Wings.
The Imperial fleet was in a stealth state, but they were still exposed to the Alexander's detection system. The battle reached a climax while engaging the enemy, and both formations experienced attrition in almost the first minute.
A fleet of Imperial Wraith aircraft approached the port side of the Alexander with wonderful flying skills, almost flying close to it. The commander of the squadron took the lead in sending two binary missiles into the exposed bridge of the Alexander, and then pulled up the aircraft. He raised his head high and clung to the wide upper deck of the sampan, using the laser cannon mounted on the fighter plane to bombard it fiercely.
The Wraith fighters that followed followed suit, leaving multiple wounds on the Alexander's rusty hull.
In response to these attacks, multiple flesh-colored tentacles surged out from the cracked armor and broken portholes of the Alexander, swaying like spider threads in the wind. One tentacle whipped towards the leading aircraft with howling wind. The Wraith Fighter was dodged by the Wraith Fighter with its astonishing reaction speed and maneuverability, but it hit the one at the back and turned it into scattered bright fireworks.
Another Wraith was pierced through the cabin cover, and the pilot was pinned to the high-speed fighter plane. Then, the fighter plane was dragged by the tentacle and continued flying, like Alexander's lift. String puppets.
"All fleets, follow my instructions. Lock the target and fire freely."
Beneath the Tyran Empire's flagship Hyperion, Augustus had a panoramic view of the fierce battlefield. Several unparalleled steel giants approached Megaton, and the radio channels immediately became denser.
The brave Imperial Wraith fighter formation immediately received strong fire support from the fleet. Large fireballs rose from the fleet and hit the target accurately. More fighters took off from the hangar of the battlecruiser, and the dock repaired The factory is also ready to repair damaged fighter jets.
The Imperial fleet quickly surrounded the Alexander that appeared and launched a fierce attack. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In the past, this former UED flagship disappeared into the vast universe like a ghost, spreading in areas beyond the reach of the Empire. Plagues and disasters.
The Alexander must be found and destroyed, otherwise the Terran Empire will really have trouble sleeping and eating.
Augustus looked at the Alexander outside the bridge window and couldn't help but sigh. He realized that he could no longer see the majestic UED flagship from what it once looked like. However, speaking of it, it still looks like it does today. He looked more familiar.
"She wasn't that big before. Our fighter planes are still much inferior in comparison. Only heavier and more powerful missiles can hurt this steel behemoth," he said.
Augustus left his elder brother, Prince Arcturus, to sit in the palace at Korhal, and handed over all government affairs to him, asking him to govern the empire in his absence, while he personally led the fleet to resist the enemy.
Prince Arcturus knew the government affairs well, and he quickly figured out what to do. His methods may not be as gentle as Augustus, but in this special period, he was able to calm the hearts of those in the new empire.
Floating forces.
It would be difficult for Augustus' men to find a politician as capable and absolutely loyal as Arcturus. If you let Reno become prime minister, it would be better to let him die.
"The Alexander was Dugar's flagship and was originally a large battleship. Your Majesty, it is obvious that Carlos's organic transformation transformed it into the life form of a zerg. In other words, the Alexander is now 'alive'
." As the royal alien biologist and xel'naga research expert who has been increasingly favored by Emperor Augustus recently, Dr. Narud has been very proud of himself recently.
Narud had no intention of getting around Augustus, but only by doing so could he dispel the suspicious emperor's suspicions. It must be said that this young emperor was one of the most difficult human beings Narud had ever encountered.
"Let's take a look at the current Alexander, Lieutenant General Stukov. Let's take a look." Augustus turned his head and looked back, his eyes skipping over Kerrigan with a serious expression and Tychus who was scratching his butt in boredom.
Falling behind was the former commander of the UED expeditionary force Alexei Stokov.
The Alexander's air-to-air broadsides have been covered by exoskeleton carapace or wriggling organs and insect eyes. That does not mean that her nearside firepower is very weak and cannot expel the flexible Wraith fighters. At the same time, this ship is completely covered by
Warships corrupted by the zerg possess weapons that they did not possess in the past.
What was ejected from the rusty muzzle was not metal ammunition and lasers, but explosive infected bodies with deadly acid stored in their stomachs and giant tentacles capable of breaking fighter planes.
Thousands of humans with deformed bodies were ejected from the Alexander. These humans with deformed bodies were continuously thrown towards the incoming Imperial fighter planes. If they missed a hit, they would fall from the sky tens of thousands of feet high. Once these living bombs fell,
It will cause terrible damage and pollution to the environment and water sources on the ground that are difficult to eradicate, and both the military and facilities will also suffer a devastating blow.
Countless tentacles danced, like stinging sea anemones or my own octopus. It was a weird, weird mixture of steel deck cannons and biological tissue, even in the most absurd fantasy novels.
The writer cannot describe this scene that makes people feel chilled all over.
Stukov's thin cheeks looked even shriveled, and his cheeks were fluttering as if he were holding something in his mouth. He was a man with a strong will, even if the ghost agents of Nova Squadron threatened to knock out all his thoughts.
No fear at all.
But now, Stukov really seemed to be crying.
When it set off from Tarsonis, there were about 8,000 people on board the Alexander, who came from many colonies on Earth, but they all believed that they were fighting for humanity. Perhaps the United Earth Council's claim to defend the Earth and humanity is just to achieve their hegemony goal.
An excuse, but it is undeniable that these soldiers have lofty ideals.
However, by the time Stukov saw them, these soldiers had turned into twisted monsters, retaining humanity only deep in their hearts enslaved by the mind of the swarm master hive.
So many people died and became part of the zerg. That was the way of the swarm, either they were devoured and became part of themselves, or they perished.
"The Indestructible Lord of the Dazhai"
"It's my fault. It was my plan that led to this tragic defeat. For Dugar and those soldiers, death may be just the beginning of tragedy." Stukov was still wearing his dark brown military coat.
But his hands and feet were not tied.
Under the watchful eye of the royal guards, no matter how talented Stukov was, he could not hurt the emperor or turn around and run away.
The unwillingness to surrender to Augustus was only a small part of the reason why Stokov remained imprisoned to this day. In fact, Augustus respected principled enemy officers and commanders, but Stokov
The husband deliberately provoked a conflict between the Tal'darin and the Terran humans and activated the psychic transmitter.
This means that even if Stukov finds favorable evidence and arguments to excuse his actions, he must still be responsible for the destruction of those planets.
He is a hero of the Earth people, but he is also just a war criminal of the Tyranids.
Of course, Stukov didn't care at all. At the last moment, he could only choose to fight to the death, sacrificing some Tyranids to save the earth and the wider world after that. He could only choose one of the two. This is indeed very difficult.
It's hard to make up his mind. After all, he is not a cold-blooded person.
Stukov never thought that a powerful Tyranid regime might become a barrier to the earth.
"This is retribution, you know?" The beautiful uniform of the deputy captain of the Royal Guards, embroidered with gold thread, looked out of place on Tychus, making him look like a bear and a blowfly in a formal dress.
"God knows what you did."
However, from Tychus's own point of view, his current appearance is naturally suave. During this period, he was really doing well. He drove the big guy out for a ride every day. What a Wolf Warrior, and the Draken laser tank was just a Tychus.
Exhibits in Case's garage.
Augustus also accidentally mentioned that Tychus would be able to drive bigger guys in the future. In any case, Tychus was looking forward to it.
"Can you get a communication link with the Alexander?" Augustus asked his adjutant.
"Your Majesty, the reactor of that ship may have stopped spinning a long time ago. Now, what drives it is no longer electricity but the bioenergy of the Zerg tissue movement." The adjutant is a young man with blond hair. He can reach Huber.
The people working on the Lean were all the best people in the Imperial Navy, and they were not like some civilians who bowed to Augustus when they saw him.
"That's it. The zerg can also communicate with us directly through psychic translation of electronic signals, just like the protoss. I think Admiral Dugar may not be in the mood to accept your questions right now." Dr. Narud chuckled.
, showing a perceptible slight amount of compassion for this former boss.
"If Dugar had remained sane, he would not have destroyed this planet." Stukov shook his head.
"Further research is needed. If Marshal Dugar is willing to come to my laboratory and have a look, that would be easy, right?" Narud's words made Stukov furious.
Stukov angrily shouted to Narud: "Traitor, aren't you ashamed of what you have done?"
"Yes, today Narud can betray you, tomorrow he can betray us, and the day after tomorrow it will be all mankind." Tychus snorted, and his two violent blue eyes did not look at anyone.
Tychus knew that he was an uneducated rough man and a martial artist, but he still had some respect for doctors and scholars.
But Dr. Narud is not welcome here in Tychus.
This poor guy has no money to conduct experiments, so he comes to the empire to beg for food.
"The fish will follow its instinct and jump into deeper water, otherwise it will be scorched to death by the sun on the drying foreshore." Narud smiled. This wily guy couldn't help but compliment Augustus and said that he
It’s just that I was born at the wrong time and didn’t meet the Lord, but my heart is still Tai Lun’s heart:
"I once thought that the UED could overthrow the tyranny of the Terran Federation, but later I realized that they are a group of tyrants."
At this moment, the assembled Imperial fleet had replaced the Wraith fleet that had previously dragged Alexander to perform the main attack mission. Amidst the roar, the bright orange barrage broke through the clouds and mist, tearing the enemy ships to pieces.
Amidst the roar of three successive Yamato cannons, the giant fireball tore through the clouds like the rising sun, and the nuclear explosion bound by the magnetic field bombarded the Alexander and the other two ships at the same time.
A battlecruiser on the lower left side of the Alexander suffered the first fatal salvo. The side that was hit frontally tilted downward at a large angle due to the impact of the explosion and lost its horizontal balance. Large pieces of tentacle limbs and metal
The fragments spattered like blood, like a torn stomach bag.
A magnetically bound particle main cannon from the Hyperion announced the final demise of the infected battlecruiser. With a violent roar, the battlecruiser was split into two from the middle, with burning steel fragments
It was fluttering like catkins in the wind, and was clearly visible in the fierce wind in the sky.
And Augustus could see that the cracked battlecruiser was riddled with holes inside, like a lung that had been damaged by nicotine for hundreds of years. The battlecruiser had thousands of holes of different sizes.
The cabin was filled with all kinds of twisted tissues and organs and rows of eggs. The corpses of the deceased were piled up in the cabin and warehouse in random order. At this moment, they were burned to ashes with the destruction of the battleship.
This was more like a large zerg being killed than a human steel battleship, and its crew all met a tragic ending.
However, in the enemy fleet line, the Alexander, which had withstood multiple Yamato artillery bombardments, remained impregnable and motionless.
But Alexander seemed to be about to retreat. She came without any warning, and no one knew the reason for her retreat.
"Alexander is about to run away. I bet there must be some bigger monster waiting to pick him up." Tychus said.
"Mechanical Adjutant, activate the Hyperion's overload state." Augustus' eyes seemed to have light: "We must catch up with Alexander."
Perhaps, the Tyran Empire historians who will record this battle in the future will use epic words to describe this scene, but they will never be able to guess what Emperor Augustus was thinking at this moment.
"Instructions from whom?"
"Augustus Mengsk." Augustus said.
The voice of the mechanical adjutant was very cold, and then his tone changed, as if ten thousand Swans were roaring at the same time in Augustus's ears.
"You bad guy, think about it again."
"20% overload." Augustus changed his words.
"Just a little bit of overload."
The huge and majestic hull of the Hyperion is bathed in the radiance of the solar core, like Apollo's golden carriage holding the sun, exuding golden energy and heat, its brightness and full shield force field rising steadily.
