Chapter 554: Tychus Finlay, a model among imperial heroes
Surian Square is located in the prosperous city of Auguste Gras Surian. It is a huge octagonal square with eight wide, rounded gravel-paved pedestrian paths corresponding to the eight corners of the square.
The green belt within it is planted with towering silver fir trees, and deep and mysterious paths under the dense shade of the trees wind to the elegant arc-shaped building like a silver moon.
Sufficiently large and abundant public spaces are the main difference between Augustgrad and the main city of Tarsonis. This miracle city built of steel and glass has an astonishingly high proportion of green space, and every part is magnificent.
The perfect combination of human architecture and nature.
On this day, Surian Square was in a festive atmosphere with bright lights and colorful decorations. Many bright hot air balloons and promotional yachts hung high in the sky above the square, and colorful lights and imperial flags were lit everywhere.
Ister and his brother-in-law Kalten came before dawn, but they could barely squeeze into the square. This time, Ister experienced what it means to be surrounded by a real sea of people. They took advantage of their height and length.
Advantages, it was hard to squeeze in.
Members of the Augustgrad Police Department had to set up cordons to divert the crowd to avoid a stampede.
You know, in order to facilitate management, Sulian Square needs to pre-purchase tickets worth 6 credit coins one week in advance to enter, and the number of places is limited. But as soon as I heard that the emperor would also attend, even those who did not grab the tickets gathered in Sulian Square.
Outside Lyon Square, we can see how popular Emperor Augustus was among the people of Augustgrad.
Augustus Grad is so tolerant of people from all origins and territories, and there are so many people living here that there are even gray-skinned protoss scholars who have traveled here living in the city. It is rumored that these people who are allowed to enter
The aliens came here to study human sociology.
At this time, clever vendors begin to sell some ice cream, fruits or dried flowers to the excited people, and children can buy enough candy or a dozen balloons to fill their pockets with a few coins. Old
Children born at the end of the Federation probably do not remember the difficult years when their parents were exiled to Augustgrad, but only remember the flag of the Empire and the sweetness in their pockets.
Easter bought a paper travel newspaper introducing Augustgrad and a photo album of actress Keira Velez from the newsstand at the entrance of the square, and stuffed them into his brother-in-law Kalten's backpack.
.
After entering Surian Square, there were fewer people, but it still looked crowded. The Imperial Defense Force (Dominion Defense Force, DDF, which has an affiliated fleet) wearing crimson power armor guarded the central area of the square.
Audiences can climb onto the circular stands temporarily built with modular steel components to have a glance at the central exhibition area.
"Where are the prototype weapons on display? Why is there nothing there?" Kalten climbed onto the stand and pointed to the empty center of the square.
As Kalten said, there are only a few beautiful fountains in the center of the square paved with colorful bricks. Other than that, there is nothing else except some imperial soldiers and the UNN camera crew.
"Odin may need to be transported from the Prototype Weapons Laboratory." Ister looked at the various exits of Surian Square: "It should be transported by air."
"No matter how you look at it, this can't be just a new plasma rifle."
At this time, Ister could hear the Dominion Center for State Security broadcasting the latest developments regarding the Odin exhibition event with the latest prototype weapon. Everyone could clearly hear General Horace Warfield.
the sound of:
"I am General Horace Warfield. The unveiling ceremony of the new weapon 'Odin' will proceed as expected and is on its way to Surian Square. After the exhibition, as planned, Odin will walk onto Korhal's palace.
The streets were inspected by the people of the Empire, and we assigned a great Imperial hero, Lieutenant Tychus Finley, to pilot this unprecedented giant siege machine."
"Odin is a mecha." Kalten put his backpack aside and sat down on the chosen seat with Ister.
Although Kalten has not been engaged in military-related industries, he still often pays attention to relevant news on weekdays. The people of the empire are sincerely proud of the emergence of new weapons, rather than worrying that they will be used against them.
Kalten and his family are people who have experienced those difficult times, first the four-year guild war, and then the invasion of zerg and protoss. The fear of alien creatures is rooted in the hearts of this entire generation.
"Siege mecha? This word is not simple." Ister had already expected it, but he was still overjoyed: "What kind of mecha can be used to siege cities? It should, no, must carry a super cannon!"
No one can resist a super mecha.
"Could it be an improved version of the Goliath armed robot? The giants brought by the people on earth are already taller than a building." Kalten had seen Goliath on the streets of Augustgrad.
Those two-legged steel giants were often used to maintain order in the past, but now they are no longer used.
Every street in Augustgrad is equipped with surveillance cameras, with turbine drones patrolling back and forth. Once there is a car accident or criminal case, surveillance can be called out immediately. The number of psykers with profiling capabilities in the Imperial Investigation Bureau has greatly increased.
The success rate of solving crimes and pursuits.
"We'll just have to wait and see," Easter said to Kalten.
"Yeah." Kalten trusted Easter's judgment, not just because he was a cadet at the Stillling Military Academy. This young man had a unique set of views on the world, and he was always able to hit the nail on the head.
"It's Your Majesty!" Suddenly, like a pot of boiling water hitting the lid of a pressure cooker, the entire Surian Square boiled. People waved flags in their hands, and fathers raised their children above their heads.
, chanting the emperor’s name.
"Where is he!"
Ister immediately looked over and saw that the emperor had arrived at the stand not far away where the royal guards were guarding.
The emperor is only twenty-seven years old this year, but he seems to have ruled this empire for many years. He wears a gold-trimmed satin dress and a sword at his waist. It is said that this dress was given to the Tyranid Empire by the Dallam star spirit.
The Emperor's, crafted from the finest silk fibers by nine of the finest Kalai master craftsmen over two years, is able to withstand the rude prying eyes of telepaths.
People are fascinated by this man, not just because of his supreme authority.
He could recognize that the person beside the emperor was the beautiful and charming queen, who had become even more charming since giving birth to Princess Louise. There was a woman with long ginger hair walking behind with Princess Louise in her arms, and Easter thought she should
She is a noble lady or head maid who is deeply trusted by the royal family.
Princess Louise is one year old, and she is always drowsy like other children in this world. The Kedarin crystal amulet given by the star spirit can protect the child's mind, otherwise her overly powerful telepathic ability will not be affected.
Controlledly accept the thoughts of more than 100,000 people present.
"It's Admiral Reno!" Easter saw the man with short dark brown hair behind the emperor at a glance. He was none other than Jim Reno, the first principal of the Stillling Military Academy.
Raynor himself was a naval general, but was later counted as an army general. In short, he was the supreme leader of the Imperial Marines, while Lundstein, another army general, was the commander of the Imperial Defense Forces.
Commander.
"No one in the empire does not know his name." Kalten also said: "Admiral Renault was born in Shiloh, which is an agricultural world like Halsain. In time, you will definitely become as great a general as him.
"
"Definitely." Easter said: "Jim Raynor is my idol."
When the emperor waved to the people, the cheers were louder than the waves, which was deafening.
Ister knew the reason why the Emperor of the Empire had such a reputation. Four years ago, most of the world in the Federation was in turmoil. Starvation was everywhere, the unemployed population surged, prices soared, and more than 10 billion people did not have enough to eat.
Emperor Augustus brought peace, established a new order, and most importantly gave thousands of people jobs, giving them money to support their families and children. In contrast, the old Terran Confederacy
Even when the nobles are about to perish, they are always trying their best to suck out the bones and marrow from the people.
Amid the cheers of the people, Emperor Augustus sat down gently on his seat. Before the shouts subsided, a huge Hercules-class transport ship was slowly descending through the clouds towards Surian Square.
At this time, there was no need to wait for the cover covering the new mecha to be lifted. Ister could just raise his head and see Odin's whole face.
In an instant, one word popped into Ister's mind: great.
Underneath the Hercules transport ship are hundreds of silver iron chains and steel cables made of new alloys and fine steel catalysts, each of which is thicker than an adult male's waist. If such chains were not restraining a terrifying super thunder beast,
That is the unparalleled steel behemoth.
It was truly a behemoth, bigger than any walking machine in human history. Admittedly, it seemed difficult for the huge Hercules-class transport ship to tow the steel behemoth.
The giant Goliath robot of Spartan Company is more than twenty feet tall, but it is not even one-third the size of the giant steel foot. If the parts on both sides of the mecha are regarded as arms, then its arms themselves
They are two unparalleled super cannons.
There are four huge cannons on Odin's back, and each cannon seems to have been directly transplanted from a battlecruiser. The pitch-black muzzles are so thick that it is terrifying.
The steel giant, whose whole body was covered with heavy steel module armor, was slowly falling to a building in front of everyone. It was so majestic, towering like a mountain, and awe-inspiring.
Easter couldn't help but think that the genius imperial weapons engineers had really built a steel giant that could travel on the ground, a mobile steel fortress. In that case, such a steel giant should be mounted on the battle line.
The multiple cannons on the cruiser should not be eye-catching either.
"Odin, a new generation of heavy weapons, an unparalleled magical weapon. The person who built Odin was another giant in the engineering community of the Tyranids - Rory Swann." General Warfield is happy to do it for people.
Narrator:
"Odin is carried on the most stable chassis, and what drives it is the most advanced nuclear reactor. Odin is equipped with two T800 cannons, a set of Hellfire anti-aircraft missile bays and four 330mm barrage cannons.
The firepower is enough to level a city," he said:
"Odin can be used as a mobile planetary fortress to provide massive fire support for the Imperial Army, and can also be used as a nuclear weapons launch platform. All this will change the history of war."
When Warfield finished speaking, Odin had just landed in the center of Surian Square. It seemed to just step lightly on the ground, and the floor tiles cracked open, causing a burst of flying dust.
There is no doubt that no place in Augustgrad can withstand the weight of this behemoth.
Rumor has it that this prototype alone cost several million empire credits (The project cost millions of credits came from interviews with developers). It was an astronomical sum.
If cost is not considered, there should be no technical barriers to the Empire's manufacturing of Odin Units II and III.
At that time, the empire could throw Odin into the war zone.
Tychus Finley, the much-anticipated imperial hero, walked under the auditorium and walked straight towards Odin in Surian Square. As the saying goes, a sword matches a hero, and only such a hero is worthy of Odin.
Ister had heard of Tychus Finlay, who was known as the Lion of Mar Sara, the Scourge of the Empire, and the bearer of the Emperor's sword.
Putting it this way, it's really incredible that he is still just a lieutenant. He probably has some regrettable secret.
The anger seemed to stay on that square and serious face forever, and those resolute blue eyes made Easter couldn't help but feel in awe.
Those scars, those are the marks of the imperial hero's military exploits, the scars of honor - those eyes looking into the distance, how determined! How sharp! On ordinary people, those blurred eyes are more like being in a daze, but if Tai
Keith Finlay, that is the enemy of the Empire!
Tychus Finlay!
That look looked so untamed and arrogant, as if there was no one else in the world worth looking up to except himself. But that was Tychus Finley, not Jim Raynor.
He walked firmly towards the elevator in front of Odin's cockpit, walking like flying as if he was really about to fly.
Ister hopes that he is the one driving Odin, but considering the school he applied for, this must be a bit difficult.
But now he feels that he no longer has to watch the navy's battleships become sour.
When Odin raised his head and moved its two giant fortress-like feet, the earth actually trembled. People cheered again, shouting long live the emperor.
There is no need to prove the capability of this weapon to the people. Just by appearing here, Odin must be an epoch-making mecha.
Easter's eyes moved along the mecha. No matter how much he looked up, he could not see the full view of the skyscraper-like mecha. He had no doubt that if the pilot was a madman, the entire square would be razed.
For flat ground.
"Odin pilot Tychus Finley is a true hero. He has been fighting for the Emperor for ten years. Now, the radio station will carry his speech."
Amidst the thunderous cheers of the people, the warm music came to mind in Sulian Square at the right time, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a higher climax.
New Folsom Blues - Murloc Mia Rhapsody - Minotaur Death Rock
Easter was stunned. He thought it was the song of the Imperial Marines or the Navy. It took him a while to realize that it was the music coming from Odin.
Emperor Augustus on the other side also tilted his head, as if he was asking the person next to him when Tychus got a stereo.
It seems that there may be something wrong with Odin's communication system. This is a prototype weapon after all, and flaws are inevitable.
But it should be harmless.
"——These nerds are so thoughtful that they actually built a toilet. I'm so happy that I really want to drain the toilet right now——"
"-Aha, look what I found, a Tarsonian ginger beer - now I can make a home in it. That short guy from Meinhof should put in another refrigerator and fill it with cold beer
——And of course No. 8 whiskey, Jimmy loves to drink it.”
