About a week ago, the cold wave originating from the Permafrost Ocean passed through the Thorny Plains where the Howe Fortress is located and headed south. The temperature dropped sharply, the rivers froze, and there was heavy wind and snow. The Howe Fortress had not seen the sun for several days in a row, and its Victoria
There is always a layer of ice condensed on the pointed windows.
But that day changed from the previous haze, and the weather was sunny. The sun of Turasis Galaxy was like a yellowish ball of light in the sky, and the sunlight was warm.
On the landing platform of Fortress Howe, hundreds of aircrews and ground crews were running in all directions at the same time. The Avengers took off one after another. Amidst the screams of the air and engines, the fleet passed through the clouds and sank into the air.
in.
The soldiers of the third platoon of the first company lined up on the right side of an APOD-34 atmospheric transport aircraft. Their silver-gray CMC-250/EX power armor had a mercury-like luster in the sunlight.
Augustus stood in front of the queue, facing his men, proud of the neat queue and the silence that awaited them. His platoon was the most elite unit in the fortress.
"It is now twelve o'clock sharp. In ten minutes, we will board the plane and set off to check your weapons again..." Augustus said.
"Hey, Sergeant Mengsk, look here!" A discordant voice interrupted Augustus, but even though he was very dissatisfied, he still looked in that direction.
Two cameras were pointed at Augustus. At least ten members of the UNN documentary crew carried stands to move the cameras and adjust their angles. A microphone fixed on a long pole was placed in front of him.
"I'm frontline reporter Max Pierce, announcer for UNN Radio. I'm reporting for you from Howe Fortress in Turasis." A man in white power armor staggered up to Augustus.
Du stood in front of him, awkwardly holding his shoulders and pointing at the camera.
"This is Staff Sergeant Augustus Mengsk, an elite model of the Marine Corps. His wisdom and conduct are worthy of the title of a hero."
This frontline reporter has a clean and tidy face, a mustache on his upper lip, and a bright smile: "Sergeant Mengsk, the expression you have now is very good. Soldiers should be so serious and cold. That's great, you are
His expression now looks as if he is going to snap the heads of a hundred Camorians at once."
"This is not a live broadcast, Peggy. Remember to cut this part. The background music should be "The Eternal Glory of the Federation"."
"You are about to carry out a great and glorious mission - to rescue the unfortunately captured federal soldiers. Sergeant Mengsk, what do you have to say about this?" The reporter took out a piece of manuscript paper from nowhere and said: "Follow this.
Just read it and it will be fine.”
"Tychus!" Augustus raised his eyebrows.
"What?" The reporter was at a loss: "Oh - you don't have to say it that way, just open your mouth and we will re-synthesize a speech..."
Before the frontline reporter finished speaking, a huge shadow enveloped him. Immediately afterwards, a huge hand stretched out from above the reporter's head and grasped the helmet, and a strong force knocked him to the ground. Tychus
?Finlay pulled him away from Augustus by his helmet.
"We'll beat up the Camorians immediately, crush their butts and drive them back to the mud pits of Moria." Tychus said while dragging the frightened frontline reporters: "My boss is a little unhappy now.
, now, I have to ask you to get out."
"If you weren't wearing a suit of iron armor, I would have grabbed your collar by the back of your neck, kicked your butt and thrown you out."
A group of photographers and uniformed men followed the frontline reporter who was dragged along, but no one dared to pull him back from Tychus's hand. Amidst the scraping sound of the power armor and the ground,
, the bewildered reporter was dragged several hundred yards away.
"Before we complete the mission, if you run up to Sergeant Mengsk again and jump around like a monkey, I will chain you to the landing gear of the transport plane. Do you understand?" Tychus's
The sound is smooth and powerful.
Seeing Marx nod, Tychus turned around and walked towards his platoon. At this moment, Tychus suddenly began to think about a question, which was why Augustus just shouted and he stood up immediately.
This isn't quite right.
In the past, Tychus, without exception, felt that his superiors were a bunch of idiots. But Augustus was different. He was almost a natural leader, brave, full of wisdom, and decisive.
Augustus's men loved him and followed his back as if chasing the light. Even Tychus had to admit that there were many things in Augustus that even a villain like him admired.
quality.
This is a good thing, maybe Augustus will become a hero, or even a general, and of course his old subordinates will also be promoted. The most important thing is that the Mengsk family is very rich.
Tychus tried to convince himself that he only obeyed Augustus because of his rank and greed for the Mengsk family wealth.
"Form up and board," Augustus ordered after Tychus returned to the ranks.
Augustus is having a headache with UNN reporters. Hobas is right, UNN is indeed preparing to interview him. Part of this is because Augustus has repeatedly made military exploits, but more of it is because of a political situation.
Consider.
Although Senator Angus Mengsk, well-regarded among the people of Korhal, was a reactionary who caused headaches for the federal government, his son was a Marine combat hero. He was loyal to the Federation and would certainly break away from any
The forces of communism will fight to the end.
Since arriving at Fortress Hawe last weekend, frontline reporter Max Pierce has followed Augustus like a follower, saying that he wants to shoot a documentary depicting the frontline and heroes. Marx has a large number of writers hired by UNN who are preparing to use Augustus as a follower.
Stuart wrote a book and biography as a prototype, but Augustus could only perfunctoryly say that it was too early.
When the transport ship's engine had started to start, and Augustus looked at the troops that he was truly proud of, this matter was quickly forgotten by him.
The leader is the squad leader of the first squad, Jim Reno. He and the Marines behind him were once just recruits in the boot camp, like an unbeaten raw material. Now, the war is gradually shaping them.
Whether it is a sharp sword or a heavy hammer, it all depends on their own circumstances and abilities.
Lisa Cassidy, the newest medic who was incorporated into the third platoon, walked at the end. There was a red cross on each of the shoulder pads of her silver-gray power armor.
By perusing the medic's resume, Augustus learned that Lisa had served much longer than he thought. Long before the union war began, Lisa, who graduated from Tarsonis University, had
He is an experienced field medic.
Other records are much more shocking. In a canyon encounter, Lisa was injected with an overdose of adrenaline or drugs. In a state of extreme excitement, she smashed the Kaimorian sky with just one slap.
Wolf's face.
Augustus was still observing the medical soldier's condition. Lisa Kesidi's stimulant addiction symptoms were much more serious than he thought. The withdrawal reaction of drug withdrawal made her often listless and listless.
At present, Augustus has cut off Lisa's supply of stimulants and banned her from leaving the fortress. He must do this, otherwise no one can guarantee whether she will tear his own people's mouths apart next time. Despite this, he still feels
This method is too mild.
Seeing Augustus looking at her, Lisa lowered her helmet, smiled gently at him, and blinked her big light blue eyes.
Lisa was a very smart woman - much smarter than she let on. This beautiful woman was trying to curry favor with Augustus in the hope that he would allow her to obtain drugs from other sources.
