A generation of heroes, conquerors, greats, and friends of the stars are ten times more derogatory and evil names. Reciting the title of Augustus the Great is like naming a dish, but few people can see his playful face.
time, it can be seen that he is really quite good now.
However, considering that he is the master who can joke about himself in private as the "Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Mighty God, the Mighty God, and the Ming Deng Emperor", he probably is not a serious person in his heart.
Hearing this, Arcturus couldn't help showing a speechless expression, and just drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
When he was young, Arcturus often exchanged letters with his brothers and sisters in the military camp. Augustus was still influenced by him in this regard. But one thing was common: they never wrote letters to their father.
The relationship between Arcturus and Valerian cannot be said to be good, nor can it be said to be bad. He strives to give his son the best education and the best resources, but he does not care much about other aspects.
This is Arcturus Mengsk. He should be the kind of person who is used to imposing his will on others, so he hates the weakness that Valerian showed when he was young.
Arcturus told his brother Augustus that he must teach a deer to hunt and eat meat by raising a lion. The Mengsk family is a wolf and cannot be a sissy.
Augustus said that there is actually nothing wrong with being the little Huihui of the Wolf family. It is good to eat grass, and you will not starve to death if you eat grass. But his brother really doesn't understand this old joke.
Augustus always played a very important role in Valerian's growth. Although the emperor was busy with affairs and was either fighting or on the road to fighting in the first half of his life, he was very concerned about his eldest nephew.
For example, Valerian always receives a gift on his birthday. Sometimes it is an out-of-print digital book left on the super colonial mothership. It may be the poems of Keats, Byron and Shelley, or it may be Sun Tzu's Art of War or Lao Tzu's Tao.
Sutra, sometimes it will be a gorgeous protoss ax or an electromagnetic rifle with the emblem of the Mengsk family.
Augustus obviously had a lot of private goods with him, and he was able to produce something like a teacher's watch.
When the young Valerian cried because of his father's disgust, Augustus told him that he was almost exactly like himself when he was a child, just as weak and looking like a girl.
But the family will not educate him as a girl because of this, and no one will dare to tell him that you are actually a girl and should learn those poems, sketches and harps that the patriarchal families of the old federation have deemed suitable for aristocratic women. Your father may be too much.
Yes, but who made him a bad character?
But what Augustus didn't say is that when he was a child, he was a will-o'-the-wisp boy. He was pretty and easy to play, but his fighting ability was as strong as a Saiyan. He jumped up and down, was never afraid of getting into trouble, never lost a fight, and caused enough trouble for him.
The scumbag dad followed behind with boxes of toilet paper to wipe his butt.
Such a person suddenly gained enlightenment at the age of eighteen and became a hero against the old federation almost overnight.
Based on the pathos of heroism, many people, including those who make a living by studying anecdotes about the life of Augustus the Great, believe that it was his experience in the Union Marine Corps and the destruction of Korhal that changed the former Augustus Mongolian.
Sk, which put him on the road to revolution.
A few people claim that the real Augustus has died long ago and was replaced by a clone with transplanted memories. This clone is a member of a secretive ancient Earth organization. The real name of its organization is the Priory of Sion.
This organization is closely related to the fate of mankind, and has secretly controlled a series of events including the collapse of the earth's order, genetic purification, and the yaw and crash of the colonial mothership.
Some people even published a series of books about this, and the words were as conclusive as what really happened, which made the Dog Emperor very happy.
However, no matter how much the current imperial historians whitewash the dark history before Emperor Augustus launched his army, and wish they could use phrases such as "the great ancestor killed the white snake and rose up", these cannot be erased.
In the writings of some shameless inventors of imperial history, the emperor had obviously shown his great qualities of not fearing power and not caring about worldly views when he was young. In the 26th century, these people still believe in the theory of blood and believe that Augustus ascended the throne.
The Emperor is destined, and the Mengsk family rules over everyone else because everyone else deserves to be ruled over.
It is impossible to study the details of this period of history in detail. Some folk unofficial histories retain the part where Augustus wore skirts when he was a child, claiming that no one forced him to wear skirts. He only wore skirts because he was weird to keep cool, and his crotch leaked out quickly.
For Valerian, he undoubtedly loved his uncle very much and regarded him as someone to confide in. When he was still studying at Stillling College, he often told Augustus what he saw and felt. To Valerian
After he really started to participate in the frontline battles and became a soldier, he still used letters to his uncle to relieve the dual torture of the war on his body and soul.
Valerian's mother must not have been able to accept that her son was in such a dangerous situation, and he never thought of sending a letter to his father.
Augustus often replied to letters, but he read every letter. He didn't know until recently that Arcturus had never received a letter, which slightly satisfied some inexplicable desire to win in his heart.
At this moment, while Augustus was secretly proud, Arcturus had surprisingly drained half the bottle of brandy.
"I didn't know he had been writing to you." Arcturus said frankly: "I have neglected Valerian."
Augustus believed that Arcturus loved his family in his own way. If Arcturus's family members were unfortunately killed, don't expect this cruel man to shed a tear, he would only become more angry.
Engage in the cause of revenge.
Arcturus didn't think he was at fault in this matter, and he didn't know how to continue this topic. He could only ask bluntly: "What has he written?"
"Information, some complaints, sometimes lengthy complaints." Augustus said seriously: "Okay, he will also share good news. After all, in the early stages of the Doomsday War, we also fought many small-scale attacks.
The battle was won, and Valerian was lucky not to appear among the death lists from other battlefields."
He said: "Valerian did not know that he was so lucky only because his father bypassed the emperor's cabinet, the imperial high command and formal procedures to move his troops to planets where fierce battles were unlikely to occur.
domain."
"I am lucky because he is my son." Arcturus said: "You have guessed that I would do that, but I would not send him to battlefields like Ayr and Antica just for this matter.
, because it will definitely kill him."
Arcturus did this not for the reason of "not to make his mother sad", but simply because he had no other heirs except Valerian, and he did not intend to have a second child.
In contrast, Renault and Elizabeth just gave birth to their second boy this year and are planning to have a third child. The eldest John is also considered sensible. When he reaches adulthood, he will work in a department such as the Imperial Security Agency's Psychic Department, which has a promising future.
bright.
Their marriage is very happy.
"But the initial battle almost killed him." When Augustus said this, Arcturus couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The valuable thing is that Valerian is not crooked. Apart from being a little pretentious, he has not contracted any bad habits, and he is not a squeamish noble son. He can do very well in politics, social situations and studies.
Valerian is not an upright or almost rigid person like Matt Horner. He has some evil things in his heart, but as long as he is not a saint, he will have emotions and desires, and desires are also the ladder of progress.
Compared to his father Arcturus, Valerian undoubtedly has a good heart, and some of his traits almost certainly come from his mother and have nothing to do with his father.
Augustus preferred to call these qualities virtues.
"You and I have both experienced battles of one kind or another. It should be said that we have both crawled out of the dead." Arcturus said: "I did not support him going to the front line, but since he went, I should accept it.
The murderer will also be killed."
"I was already prepared that he would run back in despair after the first battle, but the fact that he survived until now not only shows that he is lucky, but also proves his ability."
"This boy looks like me," Augustus said.
Augustus' life could really be called a contented one, although he attributed all of this to his own foresight and surprisingly good luck, and even had to ask why it was him.
Although the Mengsk family cannot be said to be in love with each other, at least everyone is still there. That is to say, his sister Dorothy cannot get married, but since she is not in a hurry, Augustus has no reason to rush her.
"He really looks like you." Arcturus did not deny this.
"Well, I think you should really read these letters, just like I wrote to you in the past." As Augustus said this, he was pushing the holographic imager on his desk towards Acker.
Tours.
Augustus was a nostalgic person, and this holographic imager was still the one given to him by Arcturus.
When Arcturus was hesitating to take a look, an imperial official knocked on the door of the war room and brought his bill on new labor laws and civil rights. This bill will help ease employment within the empire.
Nervous question.
This official's political party mainly represents the interests of the blue-collar working class in the empire in the Imperial Parliament, and he himself is by no means a boastful speculator. He was not even an imperialist before, but just an aboriginal of the Red Stone Star. When the empire will
This planet was included in the territory and was forced to become an Imperial citizen.
Augustus' Tyran Empire tried as much as possible to give everyone a chance to display their talents, regardless of their high or low birth.
While Augustus was busy with official duties, Arcturus opened the mailbox in the holographic projector.
Arcturus was surprised to find that these letters had accumulated to hundreds, which meant that Valerian wrote a letter to Augustus almost every two days. He realized that his son must have
A lot of free time is spent on this.
October 31st, Dominion Day, is a day worth remembering.
I wrote this down because I thought I would definitely die in the next unexpected battle. If I die, please be the Imperial who picked up this personal terminal - if not, I hope it will be us fighting against each other.
Amon and his other zerg comrades, my uncle calls them comrades.
No matter who you are, please download these and send them to my family. The Khamensk family will be deeply grateful, as always:
This is the first time I have participated in a battle. It is different from the knowledge taught in any textbooks and different from any scene in the holographic simulation.
Holographic projection can simulate a living creature 100%, but it cannot simulate the hot and humid breathing of a zerg.
I estimated that the enemy was ten times more numerous than us, and it was later proven that this was indeed the case.
The zerg are such creatures. The zerg are not those Korhal dogs that can only muster up the courage to attack humans when they are in groups. But when they start to attack, both protoss and humans will be attacked without exception.
Find yourself at an absolute disadvantage in numbers.
General Duke told me that the zerg do not fight unprepared battles. These damn beasts have a few more eyes than humans and can see ten steps at a time.
He may be a lot smarter than he lets on.
The field manual issued by the Marine Corps Command states that the insect swarm wins with numbers, and this is indeed the case.
I think the zerg just adopted the most effective way to win. Various cases show that the zerg swarms are accustomed to winning with numbers, but sometimes they will take decapitation actions or pollute the water supply system of the entire city, and they will surrender without a fight.
Soldiers of men.
This depends on the personality and on-the-spot judgment of each Cerebrate, but in most cases these swarm masters are extremely rational creatures, and they almost never make mistakes.
Although I don't care about it, by the way, I gave the same answer to Professor Adam's Zerg Strategy and Tactics course assignment, and he only gave me a B+, and I never got anything less than an A.
evaluate.
I don't know what's wrong with him.
They may have never even seen a brain worm, but there is one in the palace. Its existence completely proves that the gap between brain worms is as big as the gap between species.
Appropriately speaking, Alpha is a wolf raised by dogs, and our brainworm really knows how to bark.
Well, I am talking about so many things that have nothing to do with this battle, but I am ashamed to admit to you, my uncle, I was indeed scared. Although it was only for a short period of time, I estimate it would not exceed ten seconds.
But usually, one second is enough to be fatal. If the enemy is a protoss, their reaction will be faster than this.
We encountered the Zerg in the Rhine Valley. This is a small and unknown place, so small that our commander named it just two hours ago because it resembles his hometown.
Usually our adjutant AI will just randomly extract the name of the hero from its database to piece together the place name. If you are lucky, it will be the Backwater Policewoman, Matt's Battle Flag, and the worst one I have ever seen is called Tychus.
nipples.
As my teacher Adam assigned me, I had to write the situation concisely.
The 101st Marine Battalion landed in the Rhine Valley and was immediately ambushed. Seven Ultralisks, hundreds of Destroyers, and three thousand other zerg species.
We know that there used to be a secondary main nest here, but it had already been destroyed by Delta Squadron. The mission of the 101st Marines was just to finish up and clear out a few fish that might have slipped through the net. Because sooner or later the Empire will rebuild a colony here,
Even the slightest bit of news about the zerg would scare the colonists away.
And as long as one Cerebrate or Queen is left behind, the swarm will soon resurge on this planet.
Baby-level tasks.
Our boss must have thought so. It was obvious that he was either as stupid as a donkey or a pig.
We were fooled.
The commander died on the spot, followed by his adjutant, and then a swarm of shouting soldiers, the disgusting bile of the saboteur clinging to their bodies like fire.
According to combat regulations, the transfer of frontline military command should be completed instantly. If the battalion commander dies, then his deputy battalion commander will take over. If the deputy battalion commander dies, the next level will be taken, and so on.
Unfortunately, that's me.
You must have learned about it later, because it caused quite a fuss, probably not just because there were members of the royal family in the unit.
I handled it pretty well. I was really panicked at first, but others were even more panicked than me.
Most of these people are new recruits. You would say that the new recruits perform novice tasks, and the babies have baby buses.
So I became the calmest one.
I soon discovered that we were not defeated in an instant as we thought. At least no matter how terrible the enemy was, it was impossible to wipe out hundreds of fully armed marines and powerful imperial mechas in an instant.
Because we have siege tanks and Wolf Warriors, and the people driving them are not new recruits - even though most of these heavy machines were destroyed by a volley of acidic bile from the saboteurs at the beginning of the battle.
I knew I had to use this heavy firepower. In this damn place, we had to have something that could at least be called a position to hold until support arrived. If not, I had to get my men on the communications channel.
Thinking that we have a position in the Rhine Valley, we can use the mecha as a temporary bunker if necessary.
Anywhere will do.
So I ordered everyone to gather towards me. Surprisingly, those soldiers who were originally panicked immediately regained their fighting strength after receiving the order - at least getting a direction to move forward.
Because the commander died at the beginning, no one gave them any decent orders. Everyone was affected by the shouting and crying on the channel, thinking that we had been completely defeated, and had no idea what to do.
I was lucky because more than half of the battalion had escaped the initial massacre and made it to the hastily established assembly point. I was also lucky because right above our heads was the tank we landed in.
The battlecruiser did not even need to move its main guns, but used its ground-attack laser cannons to burn these zerg to ashes.
Just like you said.
A lone wolf dies and a pack of wolves lives.
November 2nd.
The journey was extremely difficult, and no one had ever told me that the winter rain on Turasis II was so unpleasant.
While we were resting here, Korhal sent over two thousand new recruits, so from that point on we were all veterans. I became an officer because the guys who were older than me were either dead or transferred.
Other severely damaged troops serve as the backbone for reconstruction.
This is the Marine Corps.
I am secretly happy to be promoted because of this. I am really not a human being.
November 3rd.
Everyone in my camp was very happy about my exceptional promotion and thought it was a matter of course.
My father told me that you were born to achieve great things.
I later learned that these words were originally used to describe Caesar - the founder of the ancient Roman Empire on earth and the dictator of the former republic, and his successor Octavian Augustus was the first emperor of this empire.
One man emperor.
And this sentence has almost become the family motto of the Mengsk family, which is an amazing coincidence. But it can also be explained in this way. Human beings like to name their descendants after great people.
Perhaps the evolution of our world really follows mechanically precise laws. Zeratul's Dark Templar believe in destiny. I dare not say now that they are terribly wrong.
But we are human beings after all, and man can conquer nature.
November 7th.
For D-44 rations, they called those whole canned peaches, peeled and sealed, the emperor's butt. This disrespectful name lingers in my mind.
