Moirai is the goddess of fate in Greek mythology, so the Throne Hall is also called the Hall of Destiny. The name comes from a sentence said by Arcturus Mengsk: The things that interest the Mengsk family most are
It is to create your own destiny with your own hands.
The Hall of Destiny was the place where Emperor Augustus met with his cabinet. It was also the pinnacle of power of the Tyranids. After all, only a few people could meet under the throne. Surrounding the entire hall, a thousand flags representing each empire's territory stood high.
Hanging down, guarding the central throne.
The throne is backed by staggered statues of eagle heads and wolf heads. They are made of pure gold and have silver crystals on their eyes. This symbol represents the destiny of the emperor and the divine right of kings. The red silk carpet under the throne is made of gold.
The two characters of order and law are embroidered on the thread. There is no doubt that this is the handiwork of Prince Arcturus. Of course he does not believe that there is really such a thing as God in the world, but this is to strengthen the emperor's authority and consolidate
Customary means of inheritance.
The great Emperor Augustus I of the Tyranid Empire sat on this throne and ruled the largest empire in the Koprulu Sector. He was the head of the empire. Once his signature was placed on the legal document, it became law. If it was finalized
, then no one can question his authority.
This is also the White Hall. The four walls and magnificent pilasters are all cut and carved from pure white Luria marble. The inner walls are inlaid with gorgeous carved scrolls, which depict the Great Emperor's army from Korhar, conquering various worlds and finally establishing Thailand.
Many major events in the Lun Empire. This is a magnificent picture scroll. It took hundreds of highly skilled Kalai master craftsmen from the Protoss Frignax tribe to carve it for a year. Its exquisiteness and level of detail are rarely seen in the world.
, the scene depicted is as sacred and solemn as a myth.
Gorgeous curtains of silk and velvet were fluttering in the wind, and the Augustgrad midday sun was pouring down from the huge windows. The bright light shone on the gilded stucco and gold leaf tassels on the walls.
The clear sky outside the window is as clear as water, and the jagged skyline of Augustgrad city buildings can be vaguely seen in the distance.
Today, most areas on Korhal are habitable, but some restricted areas are still very dangerous. Whenever Augustus thinks back on all this, he will be impressed by what he and his friends have achieved.
And feel proud.
But in order to reach this point, too many people have been buried in foreign lands. Augustus still remembers the warriors who fell into the lava lake of Char and lost their lives in the underground cave temple of El.
Even ghosts are now accompanying and correcting the emperor who has passed his thirtieth year.
Augustus stood alone under the billowing curtains, gazing at the hexagonal green borders of the palace gardens and the towering silver lighthouse of the Royal Naval Academy.
He thought about the square gate of Augustgrad that was not yet visible at the moment. Vehicles, spaceships and pedestrians from the suburbs and other imperial worlds were converging into black streams pouring into the glorious and magnificent imperial capital. In the sky, those who were
The slowly falling metal is the cargo ship that travels between Korhal and the surrounding systems. Although it looks only a little bit big, it weighs at least several thousand tons. These unparalleled giant cargo ships will fly from Redstone Star and Cha Sara
From such a world, high-purity crystal blocks are transported back, and then the industrial products such as vehicles and spaceships are transported to various parts of the empire.
Thousands of ships of various types gather on the central channel of the empire across the Koprulu sector, carrying countless goods and the hopes of hundreds of millions of people in the empire. The prosperous channel network accelerates the exchange process and population flow among the empire's various territories.
, causing those originally closed and backward worlds to increasingly be shrouded in the glory of the empire. On planets where people have reproduced for several or even more than a dozen generations in the edge world, people have a deep understanding of Tarsonis, the birthplace of the Tyranids, and even the human home planet.
The impression of the earth may have been blurred for a long time, but it was the New Empire that once again brought the glory and glory of mankind to these distant places.
At this time in 2500 AD, there may still be people who do not know Augustus Mengsk, but they have definitely witnessed the banner of the Empire and the influence it exerts.
Those subjects who have never met each other are repeating their daily lives under the protection of the empire. Most people will not think about who is guarding their stable and peaceful days, but the threats of zerg and protoss will remind them.
Just as Augustus was reminiscing about the past, two Royal Guard soldiers stationed at the entrance of the Hall of Destiny opened the majestic door, and an imperial government official wearing a gray tweed suit and a red tie walked in quickly.
This is a middle-aged man with a thin cheek, a clean shaven mustache, and a head of neglected blond hair that is always slightly raised disobediently. Although he is obviously not the kind of person who will spend two hours in a meeting.
An old federal official looks in the mirror, but at least as an imperial official, there is absolutely no fault in his appearance.
Among Tarsonis's social-minded upper-class nobility, this look would undoubtedly associate them with alien bumpkins, but in a group of revolutionaries founded by a series of local nobles, sons and illegitimate sons of farmers and café owners,
In the Terran Empire, this outfit may be just right.
"Your Holy Majesty, God-blessed Emperor, Augustus Mengsk the Great, Mike Liberty comes to see you." As soon as he came up, this man used a series of exaggerated titles to attract Augustus to turn away from the window.
Then, he bowed slightly towards the emperor and did not straighten up until he received a reply.
Standing in front of this all-powerful emperor, even an imperial official like Liberty who is accustomed to grand scenes will inevitably be overwhelmed by the aura of power. Such people are often used to giving orders and speaking to others.
The whole line seems condescending.
Simply speaking, Liberty knew that Emperor Augustus was not this kind of person. This imperial emperor was like a civilian leader, without the arrogance and indifference common among the old federal aristocrats.
"Mike, who taught you to call me that?" Augustus chuckled: "You are still so humorous, but I will not allow others to imitate you."
Speaking of which, the first time Augustus knew of Mike Liberty was in a UNN news column. In a news report that angrily accused the Korhal Revolutionary Army of rape, robbery, and disregard of human life, Liberty
The articles reporting on the corruption case of Tarsonis city government officials were a breath of fresh air.
Of course, that was all in the past, and since Augustus put Liberty into the cabinet in anger, they had become quite familiar with each other now.
In fact, Augustus also admired Liberty, but that did not mean that he liked this person. When he was still the marshal of the Revolutionary Army, it was cool to hear Liberty criticize the old federal government for clearing the grievances of the Revolutionary Army, but when he criticized
It's another thing if the object becomes you.
"I just quoted the eulogy that editor Donny Vermillion sang in praise of you." Liberty admired Augustus and was sincerely grateful for his contribution to saving human civilization, but that did not mean that he would become
Willingly licking the dog: "In recent times, I have memorized several quotations from the Great Emperor."
However, Doni Vermillion is a bit special. He did not make rainbow farts on the UNN channel just to win the emperor's favor, but he was a loyal fan of Emperor Augustus.
Fortunately, in the current Tyran Empire, fanatical personality worship that does not distinguish between right and wrong is not the mainstream.
"To be honest, I never tire of hearing nice words." Augustus admitted that he was a layman: "But let's put aside the quotations of the emperor - eight out of ten of them were not said by me, or
The author directly attributes the words of the First Emperor, Caesar, Rudolf, Richelieu, and Bismarck to me."
In other words, this is just bullying of the Terran Empire country folk who haven't read enough books on Earth. And, leaving aside the plagiarism, the original parts look like the diary of a late-stage chuunibyou patient.
Augustus almost regarded these quotations from the emperor as black history, and would even tremble with shame every time he saw them. But he was so immortal that Faraday, the captain of the royal guard, still couldn't understand the emperor's eyes that suggested desperate efforts.
He promoted this "the greatest work of humankind in Tyrone since the 26th century" in the palace, leaving Augustus speechless.
"Many imperial territories have listed the Emperor's Quotations as required reading for primary school students." Liberty said to Augustus: "Whenever someone in the Secretary of State's office makes a mistake, I have to punish them to copy the Emperor's Quotations twenty times. Your Majesty
, guess what, someone is looking for it."
Liberty is not the kind of old revolutionary army who followed Augustus in all directions a long time ago, because the emperor also needed people with both management skills and experience to assist him in ruling the empire, and many people in the revolutionary army only knew
fight.
Although Liberty had a good relationship with the old backbones of the Revolutionary Army, they were not of the same status after all. Some sharp-tongued news writers would occasionally refer to the group of people surrounding the emperor as the new
Meritorious nobles, they are the generals who have risen to the top of the empire by virtue of their military exploits.
"Please don't do that." Augustus changed the subject: "Let's get down to business. In an hour, I have to go to the Usa Ghost Military Academy."
"Minister Dunn has confirmed that the Imperial Department of Transportation has opened the waterway to the Sigma sector." Liberty said to Augustus: "The new voyage starts from the Raydin III and goes directly to Calud.
Charybdis, multiple outposts have been established in the system along the way to ensure the safety of the route, and the new batch of colonial fleets are ready to set off."
Since Prince Arcturus led the imperial fleet to sweep away the pirate forces entrenched in the Tyranid Empire, all large-scale pirate fleets have been wiped out, and the Kaimorian pirates and Chimaera pirates can only retreat to Kaimorian
Within the sphere of influence of the Federation and the United States of Umoyan. Currently, there are only two or two small privateering pirate fleets still harassing slow-moving merchant ships.
Facts have also proven that the rampant proliferation of pirates has threatened the Tyranids' control of various territories. Because once normal interstellar trade is affected, it will be difficult to transport necessary supplies and necessities to distant border worlds, and even if they are delivered,
The price will immediately rise three or four times because of the availability of rare goods, which will be unbearable for the people and the fragile economic system will easily collapse.
Some lawless pirates will even attack small worlds with weak defenses and plunder populations and resources, which will undoubtedly weaken the empire's people's confidence in the emperor and government.
No matter what, for the current Tyran Empire, it is always right to fight against pirates.
"Very good, very good." Augustus said two very good words in a row.
The Sigma Sector is adjacent to the Koprulu Sector. This distant and dark star region may be deeper and wider than the Koprulu Sector. The stars there are sparse, and it is a land of ice and chaos. But in such a vast world, a suitable human being can be found after all.
The inhabited planet brings valuable resources for the further development of the empire.
Due to the impact of the insect invasion, it was difficult for the Tyranid Empire to expand to the east and south. Therefore, the plan to develop the Sigma sector was gradually put on the agenda by the ministers entrusted with important tasks by Augustus.
"However, one thing you must know is that traces of Taldarin protoss have also been discovered in the Sigma sector." Liberty poured cold water on Augustus: "Our scientific ship team that went deep into the Sigma sector once discovered
But these weird protoss are carrying out sacrificial activities on their colonial planet full of temples."
"No matter what, the object of their sacrifice must be an evil god."
"These Tal'darim are nothing to be afraid of." Augustus said: "But in the early days of colonization, we still have to try to avoid conflicts with them. Now we can't fight on two fronts. I know the people hope that we can free up our hands to deal with the protoss.
, but this is just a pipe dream.”
"It's always easy to talk about war on paper, but that's just using black and white words to describe a distant and abstract war." Liberty paused, hesitating to speak.
Augustus paused: "Is there anything else?"
"The Navy has submitted a new budget. Admiral Warfield believes that twenty new Gorgon-class battlecruisers are urgently needed to deal with the new threat posed by the insect swarm in the eastern border of the empire in the past year," Liberty said.
.
"He thought the Gorgon was a cabbage, and he said that you can only make it." Augustus gave a sharp comment: "This kind of person will not cherish the hard-won Gorgon battlecruiser. I can be sure.
."
With the current financial resources of the empire, it is enough to maintain such a large fleet, but if the Minotaur is converted into a Gorgon, that is another matter. This is not a battleship of the same magnitude at all. Every Gorgon is
Ergon can be regarded as the flagship of any current imperial fleet.
"." Liberty was silent for a moment: "Do you know the requirements of the Marine Corps? They need two million sets of the latest CMC-400 power armor, and a thousand Thors and Thunderbolts. Here is a list for you to review."
Mike Liberty holds a special position in the Terran Empire government. He is responsible for diplomatic work, coordinating work between various empire ministries, and supervising the emperor's ministers. At certain times, he also has to act as a mediator.
"No money." Augustus took the list from Liberty, his face clouded: "Let them go."
"No, tell them to meet me here now!"
The Hall of Destiny was actually not just a place where Emperor Augustus met with his ministers. He was not very particular about the original purpose of the many halls and suites in the palace. Occasionally, the emperor would also summon senior generals of the Imperial Navy and Imperial Marine Corps here.
, to reduce their various conflicts over military expenditures, so as to prevent these rough guys from fighting in public again.
The Marines and the Navy in the empire are two independent services. If you want to earn more resources, you will inevitably quarrel. After all, the generals all know that only those who cry can get milk.
This is not the first time this has happened. In order to compete for military spending, the Navy represented by Edmund Duke and the Marine Corps led by Jim Raynor had a fight last time.
These two famous imperial generals are not ordinary people. When fighting, they pulled their hair, picked their nostrils, poked their eyes and sprinkled lime. When the passing royal brainworm joined the battle, General Duke's gray hair
Almost almost bald.
When the day came for the server to be shut down, I stood in front of the computer waiting for everything to settle, and found that I was more sad than I expected. In the end, this is indeed a very sad thing.
