Formica galaxy, the assembly point of the imperial fleet.
"Captain Frederick requests boarding."
The door of Port F of the Hyperion was opened by the hydraulic turbine. A G-226 transport ship sprayed with blue and white optical camouflage landed on the flight deck under the command of the landing commander. Several security guards in orange uniforms
Inspectors immediately went up to inspect the damage to the spacecraft.
"I want to see His Majesty!" Captain Frederick is an imperial officer stationed in Formiga. He was sent by Major Mortier, the supreme commander of the place, to report on the current situation of the planet.
Affected by the Zerg invasion, Formica's communications were temporarily interrupted.
When he walked down the gangway, Frederick was still wearing power armor, and there was still mud and condensed white ammonia nitrogen on his spiked boots. He was not wearing a helmet, and his square, obelisk-like face was upright and solemn.
When there were not enough experienced non-commissioned officers, Frederick served as an instructor in the Marine Corps Recruit Battalion. To the Imperial soldiers he led through the recruit camp, he was a stern and patient teacher. He had the look of a lion.
With his disheveled blond hair and broad nose, he was a powerful Korhal warrior.
The troops sent to the fringe world during the Zerg invasion were all the mainstays of the Imperial Army rather than new recruits. Only the army that has been tempered by war can withstand the pressure of going deep into the fringe world alone and possibly being trapped by the zerg siege.
"Welcome back, Captain." Not far away, Commander Faraday of the Royal Guards had been waiting with his people for a long time.
The royal supervisor was wearing the uniform of a guard commander, with his hands clasped behind his back. The guard soldiers on the left and right wearing gold and red heavy armor were all the best of the best.
Faraday immediately came up to shake hands with Frederick and led him to the ship's vertical elevator: "His Majesty has sent reinforcements to Formica, and the situation is still under our control."
"I'm afraid that no matter how many troops we invest, we won't be able to recapture Formiga. Sir, you don't understand what's going on down there." Frederick followed Faraday into the elevator and said as he walked.
"The Griffin swarm has deployed thousands of main nests, hatcheries and venomophages on Formiga, and millions of infected humans are flocking to the last fortress. Carlos's swarm has a large number of
The unclean scorpions spread the plague virus that there is no cure for yet!" He said:
"We have done everything we can to save the world. The last option is to evacuate everyone and use nuclear bombs to cleanse Formica."
Frederick didn't know much about this royal supervisor. He only knew that he was an excellent commander and that the safety of the emperor and the palace depended on him. After all, he was at least a general.
"Evacuate?" Faraday shook his head: "The emperor has ordered a decisive battle in Formiga. The empire will not abandon this planet."
"...The main fleet has arrived?" Frederick lit a cigarette, and his bloodshot blue eyes seemed to light up.
"New weapons." Faraday shrugged.
"What new weapon can be worth a thousand troops?" Frederick was refreshed.
New weapons are enough to change the future of war, and psionic launchers and psionic disruptors came into being under the background of the times.
However, the Zerg also has its own unique technological route. It constantly makes up for its shortcomings and becomes more and more powerful with every war. After the king insects of the Zerg swarm generally evolved more powerful psychic organs, the current psychic
Jammers are no longer of much use.
"You'll be surprised soon." Faraday didn't mind telling the truth, because he actually didn't know much about psychic crushers.
"I hope it was not a scare. However, His Majesty has never deceived us." Frederick did not pursue and fight. Emperor Augustus must have had a good idea before giving the order.
Frederick was also an old revolutionary soldier. He had been an officer since Augustus rose up in Korhal. It took him a long time to change the title of Marshal Augustus to His Majesty, and there were many people in the army.
It's still the old name.
After arriving on the upper deck, Frederick and Faraday met several engineers with suitcases as soon as they stepped out of the staircase. On the wide bridge with scattered stars, Emperor Augustus, wearing a golden and red cloak, was facing him.
Looking out the porthole to the planet Formica.
Standing next to the emperor were familiar figures, Queen Sarah Louise Kerrigan, the emperor's hyena Tychus Finlay and an artificial-looking old man with a gray beard.
"Captain Frederick, thank you for your hard work." Emperor Augustus turned around, and Frederick immediately held on to the reinforced armor on his knees, put his hand on his right chest and knelt down on one knee.
"Fight for the Empire." Captain Frederick said to Augustus:
"Your Majesty, in accordance with your order, the 147th Marine Brigade of the former Korhal Corps has held Formica for two standard weeks and successfully evacuated more than 4.7 million civilians," he said:
"As long as you give the order again, the 147th Marine Brigade can still hold on to the last soldier."
The 147th Marine Brigade is also a force with a long history. In the Battle of Tarsonis, this army lost most of its soldiers and almost had its designation revoked. It was not until the eve of the Battle of Aiur that it was replenished and reorganized.
The brigade's emblem is a Korhal eagle with a golden crown. This extinct prehistoric creature has long become a mythical monster.
"The Imperial 4th Army will take over the front line, and the 147th Marine Brigade will shift to support and evacuation tasks." Augustus motioned to Frederick to stand up: "I have received reports that the Griffin insect swarm has evolved a new variant.
...To understand these terrifying monsters, it’s not enough to read reports. Tell us, what do they look like on the battlefield?”
The 4th Legion was part of the original Port of the Dead Legion, and to this day, the city located on the garbage dump is still the main recruiting ground for the legion.
The order in the Port of the Dead is even worse than that part of the fringe world controlled by pirates. There are more gangsters, drug dealers, lawless people and other scum than there are rats there. It is also one of the poorest worlds.
.
People in Port of the Dead are willing to serve as soldiers in order to earn some money, make a name for themselves, or simply want to escape from hell.
"The main mutations come from the Queens and Defilers, which appear in the Griffin Swarm. Queens not only abnormally abandon their instinct to guard the nest and appear on the battlefield, but also become smarter and more deadly. Griffin Queens will
Deadly parasite eggs are injected into the victim's body, and once they mature, the parasites will burst out of the body." Frederick seemed to still be recalling the horrific scenes on the battlefield.

"Griffin scorpions are not only larger, have more toxins and are more deadly, but they also have very high intelligence. Moreover, we have discovered a monster that is even more terrifying than them..."
"Infected people..." Dr. Narud said for Frederick:
"They should not be variants of scorpions, but come from another species that carries deadly germs. Currently there are only sighting reports, and there are no samples of this species that can be used for research." He said:
"The known characteristic is that the infected person can release a terrible vicious infectious fluid, and also has the habit of storing infected humans in a huge abdominal pouch in the body - which can be vomited out when necessary."
"Carlos is an expert in infection. The main thing is that if he is still alive, new variants will emerge in endlessly." Augustus nodded, looked at Frederick and asked:
"Do the soldiers and people on the ground still have the determination to fight the Zerg to the death, and what about their morale?"
"After learning that you personally led the fleet to Formica, the soldiers were very motivated." Frederick had given up the idea of persuading Augustus to withdraw his troops. He could see that the emperor did not want to give up Formica.
.
Formiga is indeed a rare Feng Shui treasure land with a beautiful environment and rich resources, and wood is by no means the only resource here. She is the only planet in this galaxy, and the main mass of this galaxy comes from stars and ice on the edge of the galaxy.
A huge asteroid belt of material and rock.
In these small star belts, all the planets that once belonged to the Formica galaxy, massive amounts of broken crystal mines and high-energy gases are scattered in the form of giant asteroids and gases. It is estimated that the resources here can be mined for five years.
Ten years is equivalent to the total reserves of the red stone star, and it is easy to mine and the risk is lower.
Although the Formica system was of great value, Frederick had no idea how much the Empire would pay to keep it.
"Very good." Augustus wanted to ask some more questions, but his eyes were immediately attracted by the bright light outside the porthole.
At this time, the Hyperion's radar detector scanned a fleet of zerg attacking from Formiga. The Griffin swarm and the Jormungandr swarm have similar purple carapace, but the color is darker.
They can be distinguished by the proportion of scorpions among them.
The imperial fleet immediately entered combat mode, with large dense orange-red barrages sweeping through the black space, and the light when the shields were raised illuminated the bridge.
"This guy can't sit still," Tychus said.
"Griffin lacks a large air force and fleet, and this shortcoming is even more obvious without the help of other Cerebrate clans," Kerrigan said:
"However, the Griffins have never been a clan accustomed to defeating their enemies on the frontal battlefield. Disease is their weapon."
Griffin has been using viruses to deal with the human fleet. This is also the trick used by Carlos the brainworm - quietly injecting viruses and parasites into the bodies of the human fleet and marines, and then awakening them after they return to the spaceship and battleship.
these viruses.
At this point, all the soldiers and warships have become Carlos's possession. The virus is difficult to prevent, so Carlos has tried every time.
The Imperial Army once suffered a big loss. A Behemoth-class battlecruiser named Gray met an extremely tragic end because it took over several friendly transport ships while performing a search and rescue mission.
No one thought that these transport ships, which were fully capable of matching security codes, passwords and gene locks, were actually filled with infected humans and zerg.
But after Augustus vigorously promoted the production of nano-serum, Carlos' virus became ineffective. The protoss scientists hired by the empire continued to improve the serum based on zerg virus samples, which can be said to have helped Augustus a lot.
busy.
The protoss of Dallam are now led by Tassadar. He is not only a benevolent and enlightened protoss leader, but also a good friend of Augustus.
"No wonder Carlos can't sit still." Augustus said: "Bring up the map of Formica."
A map of Formiga immediately appeared on the tactical console. Using Formica Fortress as a shield, the 147th Imperial Marine Brigade established a 7-mile-deep defense line to resist the endless army of infected.
More than 3/4 of the residents of Formica took up arms and stood with the imperial army to defend their homeland. Although Augustus could only get a glimpse of the events in Formica in the past two weeks through Major Motier's report.
The brutality of the battlefield saw Formiga's determination to defend his homeland even if he lost a million young workers, but he could also imagine what those soldiers and suffering people had gone through.
The Swarm does not accept surrender, and they have no human values.
However, Carlos once used this to take over a fringe world with a population of more than 10 million and a large number of militiamen, just a dozen parsecs away from the Formiga system.
The bewildered Federation Governor was so frightened that he surrendered to the Zerg, and Carlos took advantage of this to plunge the planet's defenders into civil war and fall apart, defeating the world without any effort.
"Carlos' insect nest was mainly hit near the main city of Formiga in the past, which is more than four hundred miles away from our fortress." Augustus said:
"The cunning Carlos will definitely not stay in such an obvious enemy, but we must also capture this place as a breakthrough to defeat the Griffin swarm.
Now, Formica's former cities have fallen and lost their strategic value.
"Connect to Mira Han's communication channel." He said.
"Your Majesty, Mira's raiders are ready." A female general with bright pink short hair appeared on the other end of the communication. One of her eyes has been replaced with a blue Star Spirit mechanical prosthetic eye, which looks pretty good.
Just like ordinary people, some burn marks can be seen in the corners of his eyes.
But this time, Mira replaced her own eyes with mechanical prosthetic eyes, because this eye allowed her to see things that she could not see in the past.
"Bring the psychic crusher and set off immediately. Nova Squadron will provide you with fire support."
"Okay, boss, ask Matthew (Matt's name is Matthew "Matt" D. Horner) for me, why he never uses the channel codes I gave him to contact me." Mira looked around and saw nothing.
The man no longer maintained his serious posture and blew a kiss to Augustus.
"This is really sad."
As we all know, Matt Horner lost to Mira Han in a card game and was forced to marry her, and he vowed that he would never touch cards again in his life.
"I will." Augustus glared at her and defended Matt: "Now is not the time for romance."
Then, the emperor looked at his queen: "I have always regarded her as my sister."
"What do you explain?" The queen was confused.
"Okay, boys. Get ready to land, the angels are with us."
