When the Durham Stars left, the black tea in the silver tea set was still warm, and the ripples of the spiritual energy in the tea had not dissipated. Governor Harry, who had just recovered from the conversation between the leaders of the two sides, thought:
When someone had to tidy up the living room again, they found that the cups and dishes were still as they were before the guests arrived, and the red carpet on the floor had not even fallen dust.
"The Protoss is also in a state of distress right now. I originally thought we had enough messes on our hands." As Renault spoke, he was taking out a cigarette and lighter from the pocket of his long military coat. It could be seen from the look on his face when he lit the cigarette.
It can be seen that he is very worried. It seems that the protoss has brought a lot of bad news.
Some time ago, something went wrong when the Dallam protoss recaptured the Aiur moon Sharok, which affected Tassadar's reputation.
Now, the evil Dark Archon Orega, who has made a comeback, has brought an army of dark templars, El zerg swarms and human pirate mercenaries to invade the protoss world outside of Sagulas.
At the same time, there are still many conflicts within the Dalam Protoss. The Sagulath protoss who originally accepted the Aiel Protoss refugees are increasingly aware that distant relatives whose population is far greater than theirs are trying to occupy their homeland.
the trend of.
Archbishop Durham must take into account the differences and estrangements between the two nations and coordinate the internal conflicts. A slight deviation will very likely trigger a new conflict - especially in the extreme planet Sagulath.
The spiritualist Orega is still causing a lot of tragedies.
Therefore, strict and even harsh compliance with the policy of equality between the El Protoss and Sagulath has become rigid and inhumane, and has probably evolved into a politically correct tendency. It cannot be said that there are many factions among the Dalam Protoss, but
Conservatives and radicals are at odds with each other.
If this were the case, Tassadar would not need to seek help from the Tyranid Empire. The Dalam protoss were indifferent to matters outside of Sagulath, and the people had no intention of consolidating or strengthening cooperative relations with humans.
The Protoss Empire, which was severely weakened after the fall of Aiur, has never recovered, and now it is just clearing the way for itself. However, the executive officer Moyo who was captured by the human pirates was still missing on the human border, and is probably now
Hidden somewhere in the core area of the human empire.
Considering the safety of Mojo and other captured protoss, Archbishop Tassadar of Dallam, who valued his people and compatriots, immediately thought of his human friend Emperor Augustus Mengsk.
"When is this less important, Jimmy." Augustus raised his eyes: "In the past, when we were still young, we thought that any question would be answered and any problem could be solved once and for all."
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. I never thought that one day I would have to stand in the position of a human being and have a lot of trouble." Reno was originally just a farm boy in Shiloh, but now he has to intervene in military and national affairs for an emperor.
"You should think better. When you stand high, you have to see far." The emperor looked at Governor Harry who was sitting obediently next to him: "Harry, in the name of the imperial government and the royal family, please put these fruits on the table.
and cakes were taken and distributed to the refugee children who came to Jiggins. I ask that all refugees who come to Brocas Hull can live in comfortable and safe resettlement houses. They do not have to worry about food, clothing and medical care.
.However meager, their children deserve candy for Christmas.”
Augustus was even more convinced that he had sent Tychus away before meeting Tassadar, otherwise the scene on the table would not be much more beautiful than a pig trough.
"Brocas Hull is like spring all year round, and this winter this year will be very warm." Governor Harry immediately obeyed, and there was really wind under his feet when he walked out resolutely. He still had an expression of relief on his face, it seemed that
It's really stressful to stay by the emperor's side.
Although Augustus showed signs of growing conceitedness, he did not become an autocratic emperor, but always received advice from his court ministers and marshals.
However, once Emperor Augustus believed that something had to be done, most people could only play the role of listening, no doubt.
All imperial officials knew that although Emperor Augustus was friendly, teasing or neglecting him was like sticking your head into the mouth of a crocodile. In the eyes of his subordinates, Governor Harry was like a lion that was difficult to please and approach.
, but in front of Emperor Augustus he was just a cat with a belly turned over.
"There are enough supplies stored in Brocas Hull. It will not be a problem for the refugees who come here to avoid having to eat and drink. But what should we do next? They can't live here forever." Renault sighed:
"Diversion to other worlds and uncultivated habitable planets is a good idea, but not everyone is willing to start from scratch in a strange world."
"If there is a better choice. Yes, we don't have to let our people rebuild their homes in pain and blood." Augustus leaned on his chair. Those who suffered and those who died are still there.
It bothered him and tortured him.
The southern star field of the Tyran Empire has been almost destroyed, and some worlds have even completely turned into a world of ashes and a world of death, which cannot be rebuilt at all. Even on those planets that are not seriously damaged, if you want to
Restoring the past order also requires the support and time of the imperial government.
"In this cold and dark universe, the Tyranids have been defeated time and time again, but have rebuilt everything on the ruins again and again." He told Renault:
"It's time to open up a new home and a new world."
Considering that most of the worlds in the Terran Empire are vast and sparsely populated, they lack infrastructure and educational resources, and some places are still undeveloped and dangerous wilderness.
The imperial government has spent a lot of resources relocating refugees from war zones and ensuring their minimum living needs, and the acclimatization and public security problems caused by relocation are difficult to avoid.
But staying alive is the most important thing. The vast Terran Empire will never have too many people. Opening up new colonies can effectively calm the internal resource shortage problem and add new sources of raw materials to the empire.
"Many virgin lands have been discovered in the Sigma sector, but if we develop there, we will inevitably have conflicts with the Tadarin stars there." Renault nodded:
"Remember those Tal'darins? Even if you touch a hair on the Altar of the Protoss, they will rush up and fight you to the death."
"Then use artillery fire to bargain with them." As Augustus said, a clerk in the Governor's Palace of Brocas Hull presented a holographic projector. This holographic projector was similar to Brocas.
·Hull's government network is connected and can retrieve data on the administrative regions and population of the empire.
As you can see from the above, Brocas Hel originally only had a population of more than three million, but now it has increased by about twenty times in a few months. Brocas was originally a country with a large amount of supplies.
world, so it is the best choice to resettle nearby refugees.
"The most critical thing now is to ensure the safety of new colonies and transportation routes." Renault agreed with Augustus's words. Among these imperial generals, none of them are ruthless. Some use space stations to hit people, and some use nuclear bombs to embarrass people.
, I have never been timid.
"We are still fighting bugs at the border and cannot spare so many manpower to protect the waterways, so these pirate bastards have begun to take advantage of the opportunity to grow and develop," he said to Augustus.
The Tyranid Empire is the main force fighting the swarm, and even the scale of the mobilized army is unprecedented.
The war was so tragic that the situation has changed. Now those who were so traumatized in the war with the swarms that they cannot take care of themselves are beginning to demand resocialization in order to forget the pain and seek "eternity."
of tranquility”.
"That Alan Schezar and his scavenger pirates were little more than interstellar smugglers when he started out on some unknown world on the frontier. You know, the kind of guys who will do anything for money.
"Augustus found the information he wanted from the control panel under the holographic projector:
"The rumors about Alan Shezar are shrouded in mystery. Some people say that he was already active in the edge world of the Tyranid Federation before the UED invasion. In their heyday, these vicious scavenger pirates even controlled
More than one planet, becoming the de facto ruler of those worlds."
The Kaimorian pirates are from the Kaimorian Federation, the Chimera seems to be related to Umoyan, and the latest scavenger is a force that is causing trouble for the Tyranid Empire.
The Scavenger Pirates are not pirates in the traditional sense. They are a large and well-organized super criminal group. At first they only stole, modified and sold spaceships, and then the Scavenger Pirates began to engage in kidnapping, plunder and assassination for wealthy companies.
Homes and interstellar merchants sell force.
As their power grew, these scavenger pirates began to get involved in the drug trade. At first they only produced drugs, but later they controlled all businesses related to manufacturing, transportation and sales, and then extended their hands to gambling, prostitution, arms, and fortification.
drugs and illegally implanted prosthetics.
When the Tyranid Federation was weak, the Scavengers once controlled several planets and monopolized all criminal activities on the planets. From the planetary governor's mansion to the parts factory, from officials to ordinary workers, everyone was closely related to the Scavengers' industry.
While working hard to fill the scavengers' pockets, the people of these planets became addicted to local competitions involving drugs, enhancers, and bloody racing.
When Augustus Mengsk overthrew the Tyranid Federation and the UED to establish the Tyranid Empire, the Imperial fleet that was ordered to take back the distant world once eliminated and cleared these pirates. At that time, these pirates were nothing more than nothing in the eyes of the Imperial Emperor.
He is a group clown.
But when the insect swarm invaded again, the scavenger pirates once again took advantage of the situation.
"This is no longer an ordinary pirate force." Renault lit another cigar and raised his eyes: "They have touched the bottom line."
"The scavenger pirates won't be able to escape for much longer." Augustus raised his eyebrows: "Shezar once created his criminal empire, and now he will watch its destruction with his own eyes."
In the old Federation era, the Kehal Revolutionary Army was the most vicious anti-government armed force in the Koprulu Star, and even the most powerful pirate fleet had to take a detour.
In the era of the Tyran Empire, the empire's armed forces were far stronger than in the past. Over the years, more pirates were hanged by Augustus than there were bacon hanging on the wall.
Augustus was not afraid of pirates taking over the throne in any small world. If they just relied on the speed of their warships to cause mischief in the territory of the Tyranids, it would give him a huge headache.
"Who was asked to come over?" Renault asked.
"Mira Han, she knows how to deal with these criminals best." Augustus said.
Mira Han leads the most brutal and brutal army in the Tyranid Empire's armed forces. These war-hardened veterans come from the Port of the Dead and the harshest slums in the universe. Nowadays, they have long stopped engaging in gray area industries.
However, the violent behavior has been passed down.
"Mila? I heard that her method of treating criminals is not very humane." Renault thought for a while: "I have heard something."
"It's just tying the pirates to a chariot of evil fire." Augustus shook his head: "You just don't know the more cruel methods."
"I've never been against justice," Leno said.
"In the final analysis, they are just a group of pirates who formed a shabby scavenger fleet with outdated weapons and ships plundered from the federal arsenal. How did Moyo get captured by a group of pirates?"
Augustus said:
"Tassadar refused to say."
Thinking about it, the Dalam Protoss still needs to be embarrassed. A dignified executive was caught by a second-rate pirate recorded in the Tyran Empire's records. This is not something to be publicized.
"I heard about it from Artanis." Renault said: "When the Golander swarm invaded Besifal, it was Mojo's fleet that arrived and attracted the swarm's attention.
As for why they ended up in the hands of Alan Scherzal, that is unknown."
"So, we owe Moyo a favor." Augustus nodded.
"Shezar's scavenger pirates are not weak. I heard that there are ghost agents working for Sherzar." Renault said to Augustus: "What else can I say?"
"I thought no one in the world would believe in a mind-reading telepath except you and me."
"Believing and using are two different things. The Federation has also used psychic suppressors to control ghost agents." Augustus said:
"The most troublesome part is that Shezar is getting involved with the Dark Archon Orega. I thought that protoss would not trust anyone other than the protoss of Sagulas."
"You also said that there are two different things." Renault said: "I'm worried that Mira may not bring enough people."
"Don't worry, it's definitely enough."
At this time, the holographic projector next to it flashed, and a fleet of scientific ships located on the edge of the Koprulu sector sent back a report, showing that the Duram protoss was constantly adding troops to an ocean planet called Gracius.
"Glacius, do we want to intervene?" Renault blew out a puff of smoke.
"Next to our territory," Augustus said, "the empire must intervene."
