Mom always said: Killing is sinful, because all life is given by God. Therefore, everyone is a brother, and brothers will not fight each other with swords.
Private Ardo Melnikov, who grew up on the imperial colony planet Bountiful, always believed in the knowledge he learned in the seminary, but now Ardo has wavered.
.
If the life of the zerg is also given by God, then who is he releasing these demons to punish?
This hysterical shouting drew Ado back to the battlefield. He put his finger on the trigger of the C-14 Gauss gun, and then remembered that the enemy had already retreated.
"Hold him down! Hold this guy down damn fast!"
A soldier in a black khaki military uniform was running between trenches and fortifications, followed closely by several army doctors who threw him down into the muddy trench pit like tigers.
"It's over! It's all over!" Their shouts echoed clearly audibly on the battlefield filled with alloy steel bunkers and solid bunker clusters.
"Only resocialization can save him."
Like other Imperial soldiers around him, Hodor just watched silently from behind the helmet visor of his power armor as the crying soldier was carried back to the combat medical center.
The soldiers who were witnessing all this all made prayer gestures in unison, their eyes filled with sadness.
The soldier was their comrade. He once witnessed a ferocious primitive tyrannosaurus tearing apart many of his comrades alive. Since then, he has suffered from mental problems. The field hospital cannot treat this disease and can only be sent to a distance.
It's closer to Melichs.
"It's all over." Ado whispered to himself, looking past his comrades and looking at the position: ".Amen."
This is the Tasha front line. The 664th and 665th Imperial Marine Divisions who were ordered to station here have built an impregnable defense line around thousands of islands and reefs.
On the early morning of Easter, April 14, thick fog was covering the undulating sea.
Huge fortifications cover the entire coast of Zephyr Cove. This island was once a tourist resort in Tasha. It is warm as spring all year round. The abundant rainfall and temperature create an idyllic and poetic scene.
of heaven on earth.
The poetic natural environment has naturally nurtured the poetic Tasha people. The science, education and humanities here are unique even among the vast interstellar empires of the Tyranids.
But now, this once paradise on earth has been transformed into a battlefield.
From flat beaches to steep cliffs, there are fortifications built with concrete and alloy steel everywhere. Dozens of miles of underground facilities connect countless planetary fortresses. Bunker clusters and erection are powered by the Draken cannon.
giant turret.
Countless bunkers and firepower points set up on high ground guard the city of Belfalt on the edge of Zephyr Bay. They stretch endlessly. The interlocking fortifications and solid defense support points extend along the once quiet and clear bay. Countless cluster rocket launchers and
The super railgun locks the sky and the sea. Countless cannons and countless flags are engraved with the iron ambition of the Tyranid Empire.
Hodor has seen the scene of these giant guns firing. They are truly prepared for destruction and war. It is no exaggeration to say that the size of some giant guns is not exaggerated even if they are used to deal with battlecruisers.
When the artillery fire roared, each several-ton shell set off a doomsday-like plume of smoke and dust, and the laser cannon burned the ocean and the land, shaking the mountains in an instant, and everything was wiped out.
And those dangerous black jungles composed of electrified barbed wire, spider booby traps and widow mines were littered with countless corpses of primitive zerg, which were proof of this terrible war. Some of the skeletons alone were hundreds of yards long, which was
A giant beast that only exists in mythology.
At this time, multiple large excavators were rumbling on the battlefield splattered with thick blood, cleaning up mountains of corpses, as if they were moving on the ground paved with broken bones and flesh.
Without real personal experience, it would be difficult for anyone to believe what kind of enemies and wars Ado faced.
In the past nearly four weeks, the primitive zerg swarm launched a full-scale attack on Tasha. At that time, all the sky that could be seen with the eyes was covered with primitive zerg with vibrating wings, and everything that could be heard was deafening and terrifying.
The roar touches death and blood.
As far as the eye can see, there are corpses of humans and zerg. The poisonous and thick blood of the original zerg polluted the water source, turning Tasha's ocean into a dark crimson for a time.
In the air of Tasha, the content of primitive zerg is even much higher than the content of oxygen.
The defenders suffered unimaginable casualties. At the most difficult moment, the Zephyr Bay position was almost completely occupied. The surviving imperial warriors were trapped in various isolated fortresses and bunker clusters, resisting until they ran out of ammunition or
Detonate a nuclear device and kill your enemies together.
Hodor and his comrades have fallen into the quagmire of despair and failure time and time again. They relied on mechanical fighting to survive through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. As Prince Arcturus said: You will become the spokesperson of death.
Desire for a fight. A gun is just a tool, a heart of stone is a weapon.
In this massive all-out war, individual ingenuity and will play no big role. The ultimate survival of Hodor and his friends depends on good enough luck.
Finally, fortunately, General Pryor arrived on horseback on the emperor's order and solved the siege of Tasha.
Now, the primitive zerg have finally evacuated Tasha. Although this once picturesque planet has long been devastated, she has finally been saved. The primitive zerg are gone, leaving only trauma and suffering in this world.
But as an ordinary soldier, Ado didn't know why the primitive zerg desperately wanted to capture Tasha and suddenly left without interest. Just like, Ado couldn't figure out why they came.
Same.
"Melnikov, Ado Melnikov." Platoon leader Lieutenant Sheffield walked out of the bunker on the other side. The man with a big nose and flat eyes had to lower his head to get out of the low bunker exit.
Since a large amount of communication equipment, logistical support equipment and ammunition depots must be installed in the bunker, the space left for the Imperial Marines is much smaller, so much so that a squad of soldiers inside can't even get half a stool.
"Lieutenant." Ado immediately walked towards Sheffield: "What's the matter?"
"You have been promoted." Sheffield waved to Ado: "Now you are the corporal squad leader of your class, and you also received a gold star badge with your appointment."
Ado nodded, not surprised by this, because he was one of the last two people in his class alive. In some units with particularly serious attrition, some people were even promoted to captains during the war, and he was above
All the officers, including the platoon commander, company commander and battalion commander were dead.
This is the front line, and the emperor can only choose his outstanding commanders from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Although the Imperial Army's structure and armaments have been comprehensively optimized since Emperor Augustus Mengsk ascended the throne in Korhal, with more and more new power armor, mechas and tanks being prepared for the entire army, the original alien
Insects are, after all, extremely formidable enemies.
The primitive zerg race has spent endless years in their homeland of Zerus, and the entire race has evolved infinitely for the purpose of killing. If the army of the old Federation era encountered them, there would be little chance of victory.
However, Ado's division still managed to survive a lot of people, and some of the brothers' troops were unable to gather the number of people for a headquarters in the end.
"The order has arrived, and our division will immediately move back to the rear to rest. The transport ship will arrive in half an hour. They are always on time, and the people who fly the spacecraft don't like to wait for people." Lieutenant Sheffield continued:
"After that, newly arrived troops will take over from us."
I am talking about rest and reorganization, but in fact the most important thing is to retain the establishment and wait for the re-establishment of the army, because the two divisions stationed in Tasha and the more than 20 divisions that were later reinforced suffered heavy losses. In most stages of this battle, Tasha
Shadu is the main battlefield.
The empire's commanders obviously did not expect this at the beginning, so the elite main force initially stationed in Tasha was not there.
"Where can I rest? I don't know how far it is from Fenfeng." A Duo wanted to go home and take a look, because he might lose his life next time.
It’s not just Ado, there are too many people who go on the battlefield without hesitation, fearing to miss home when the smoke clears.
Fenfeng is not close to the front line, but it can be reached in less than a week by a spaceship equipped with the latest warp engine. For Ado, he doesn't know whether this is good news or bad news.
"This is not something I can know, kid. But I promise, you will have a chance." Sheffield walked past Ado's soldiers and said in a low voice:
"Now go to the airport to report. You don't have to be in a hurry. There is more than enough time. I don't think there are enough seats on the spacecraft."
Hodor is only nineteen years old this year. He is really just a child to Sheffield. His youngest children are older than this young boy.
"Yes, sir." Ado said.
Lieutenant Sheffield said before leaving: "In the name of God, you are now a veteran. Remember, it is the son of a bitch's war that makes you a real man."
"Let's go. Since he said so." At this time, Will Voronov was walking out of another bunker. The order to evacuate to the airport was given by the command channel in the power armor, but he just heard
Arriving in Sheffield.
In addition, Will is also a chaplain. Out of respect for the religious culture of Fenfeng, the 417th Marine Battalion is one of the few imperial troops with chaplains. Although there are less than 12% of Fenfeng people in this unit,
But he graduated from the boot camp there.
Fenfeng is a religious colony that was established in the 24th century. The people who established this colony are all members of religious groups, and they are all saints and pilgrims who have wandered here.
In the past, Kangfeng refused to join the old Terran Federation, but was later incorporated into the newly established Terran Empire. During that turbulent period, Kangfeng originally launched an uprising against the rule of the Terran Empire, because he lived there
People in the country did not understand this new regime and thought it was no different from the domineering federation in the past.
Until one day, what the people of Kangfeng didn't expect was that the emperor of the Tyran Empire came to Kangfeng in person. Emperor Augustus stood among his people and declared that he would give the people here the freedom to legally practice religion.
, he was so charismatic and his firm voice so convincing that no one suspected he was lying.
Will was Hodor's childhood friend. It was a miracle that they survived. I don't know how many times the two soldiers thought they had seen heaven.
They are both the same age. They grew up together and were as close to each other as brothers. However, several of their friends who grew up with them have died. Some died in Tasha, and some died in
Some of the Colonial Warrant VIs of the Kemerian Federation were buried in space together with the battleships.
Many people can't go back.
Along with Will, Ado summoned his comrades in the same platoon to go to the airport. The airport in Zephyr Bay is very large, and there are huge spaceships at all times. Among them, you can see fully armed imperial troops lining up neatly towards the transport ship.
These newly arrived troops have bright armor, obviously because they have enough time to maintain and maintain it. Another group of imperial soldiers came to Tasha, and Ado didn't know what was waiting for them.
There are rumors that Tasha will give up soon, because even if the original zerg leave, the overlord swarms that follow are even more terrifying.
But the high command obviously doesn't want to think otherwise. They seem to have a secret weapon to deal with the Overlord.
There is a huge Odin mecha parked in the airport, and I heard it is at the prototype level and is even more powerful than the average Odin.
Ever since Ado had seen that towering steel giant being thrown onto the battlefield from thousands of feet in the air by a Hercules-class transport ship, creating a huge bloody pit among the tens of thousands of primitive zerg, he had never thought about it again.
There was no doubt about the power of this war weapon.
At this moment, several engineers were driving T-280 space engineering vehicles to perform maintenance and repair work on the damaged Odin, using plasma welding guns to weld pieces of battlecruiser-level electroplated ceramic composite steel plates.
Will was madly in love with this steel giant and was walking around it. But Ado just found a secluded corner and took out the photos from the armored storage unit to look at it.
It was a blond girl with blue eyes. Her hair was like the abundant wheat fields in autumn and her eyes were like the sea in winter.
Maybe, every boy of this age has such a girl in his heart.
Aduoduo wants to see her again.
"Borrow me a fire, buddy." A tall man walked over from behind with a cigarette in his mouth. His face was covered with flesh and scars, as if he had walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
A corporal, just looking at this, Ado is probably about the same as him.
Ado threw the laser lighter to him, and the other party lit a cigarette and looked at the photo.
"What's her name?" the man said.
"Melani Bradlaw," Addo replied.
"Have you had sex?" The other party is an old gangster.
"No." Ado was stunned for a moment, then emphasized: "Of course not."
"Phew - she is the driving force that keeps you alive."
"Stay alive until the end of the war." Tychus exhaled a puff of smoke: "I have seen too many widows. Even if they receive pensions, most of them will get married in the end."
This is Tychus Finlay's unique form of comfort.
"Goodbye, little brat." Tychus shouted to the engineers setting up the construction trucks before leaving: "Guys, keep my baby fully lubricated, I'll need it later!"
The scrolling subtitles below the UNN news after the hidden level of the Wings of Liberty campaign ended mentioned the news that the settlers of Bountiful Star declared independence, and there were also guest appearances in subsequent battles.
This planet was originally going to be included in the world destruction mechanism of Heart of the Swarm, but later this very good mechanism was abandoned. We had the opportunity to see more unique StarCraft planets and experience them in the campaign.
It’s such a pity that the characters are as unique as Star Wars.
The popular science video of upDNvader on Station B is very good. It is one of the few ups that has been carefully researched. If you have time, you can check out his videos. In comparison, those marketing accounts are really misleading.
