Many years have passed since the Protoss fleet destroyed Cha Sara. The entire planet's surface was turned to glass, cities were reduced to ashes, mountains were flattened, and only molten scars were left in the mountains, lakes and seas, and all life forms were wiped out.
.
A lush, vibrant and beautiful world has since turned into a wasteland, crumbling and never recovered.
Life is tenacious, and in the following years some vegetation grew in Cha Sala, but it was sparse and thin, far less vigorous than in the past, like a young man who once had thick hair and went bald at a young age.
Cha Sara was once green, but after that, she became another mediocre and desolate planet among the thousands of worlds in the Imperial Star Territory, just a dim eyeball on the navigation map.
But that was all before the "overnight miracle" happened.
""
"It feels really good to be back here as the unparalleled hero who saved the entire universe, hmm~ You think so, Jimmy."
Tychus Finley's outfit is no different from the common country folk in the border world of the Empire. Wear-resistant trousers, a weather-beaten jacket, a life-threatening old-fashioned revolver and a car that has been handed over countless times.
vulture car.
Even if this man were to become a prince and become prime minister, he would not be willing to wear suits and ties all day long, not to mention that he was currently working as a part-time job at the Imperial Marine Corps Headquarters, and when he finally thought about clocking in for work, he still looked slovenly.
Usually Emperor Augustus called this a wild boar that couldn't eat fine chaff and said he looked like a savage.
But today is different. Today Tychus is regarded as the emperor's plainclothes bodyguard in Cha Sara. This is a "private visit incognito".
"As long as they don't come to evacuate refugees when the insect swarm invades, that's fine. I've fought too many battles. I'm tired of life and death, and good people suffering." Jim Raynor was dressed in a typical Masala cowboy, leaning on his vulture.
Smoking a cigar by the car. He was once a born space cowboy, bohemian and free-spirited, and now he is the father of three children.
If the emperor hadn't been so lazy that he refused to let his ministers retire, crying, making trouble, and hanging himself, he would have gone back to his hometown to farm.
While they were talking, a gust of wind carrying the refreshing fragrance of flowers blew by, bringing with it the sound of swaying trees and the ringing of church bells in the distance.
It is the time when life is revived and all things are renewed.
There is strong vitality everywhere, and the thick trees are covered with vines. The bushes are like huge, green grain piles, with flowers of thousands of colors scattered among them. The lively river is like a blue ribbon, reflecting
Under the golden light of the sky, they sang like birds, gurgling across the quiet plains towards the fertile valleys.
"The nearest town and tavern are not far away. You two, come up quickly!" Augustus drove a Vulture from behind and overtook Tychus and Renault with a single acceleration.
The wake of the ion thruster pushed out a long road among the dense grass, and small animals, reptiles and birds fled in all directions.
"Don't you suddenly want to stay and look at the scenery? I don't know what the mountains and the water are so good." Tychus cursed and quickly got into the car and followed, for fear that the current saint would disappear while driving.
"That's so beautiful." Augustus just said: "The person who ran to town at the end paid for the drink!"
"Hey, you bastard!" Reno, who was not in any hurry to follow Augustus, jumped up now.
Driving a vulture car across the vast wilderness was an experience that made Augustus extremely happy. After all, governing a country was not a pleasure. Even an energetic person like him would often feel physically and mentally exhausted and unable to do his job.
As far as Augustus could see, the land was green and full of life. These were absolutely good lands, large tracts of good land, suitable for farming, and crops could grow well without any effort.
A few weeks ago, this place was still lonely, with no vegetation at all, and only a handful of places growing with lichen and moss. It was so barren that even the insects were so thin.
But in this short period of time, Cha Sara's wildly growing forest alone has become comparable to a centuries-old virgin forest.
The so-called one-night miracle is an official statement spread in other imperial worlds. In Cha Sara, it is called a miracle.
Not only Cha Sara, Mar Sara, Veridia, Aedion and other planets that had been destroyed in the past wars restored their former vitality almost overnight, but many barren worlds also regained their former vitality.
There were signs of life, flowers were blooming, and the fragrance was fragrant.
However, among these planets, Cha Sara is indeed the last one to undergo changes.
Today, humans and protoss within and outside the Koprulu sector are working on rebuilding and restoring their homes, turning swords into plowshares, and recuperating.
In the Tyran Empire and other humans, new immigrants are dragging their families and families from the increasingly crowded core world to escape poverty and suffering, either returning to these resurrected planets, or walking
Go further, to the rumored beautiful and rich new world.
Just in the original territory of the empire, new livable planets are discovered every day, and every surprise means a newly opened shipping lane.
As soon as the colonial ships landed, the seeds they brought immediately found nutrients and began to grow wildly. The livestock also became fat and strong, and they thrived vigorously. In the new settlements, people's houses were like those after the rain.
Mushrooms grew like clumps of mushrooms, and children and their puppies ran barefoot along the path next to the cabbage patch, through orchards, fields and corrals, and spent leisurely time in the market next to the star port.
All afternoon.
Merchant ships were constantly coming and going, bringing industrial necessities to the colonists in the New World, as well as high-quality meat, vegetables, furs and raw materials.
Even the protoss began to free up their hands to re-incorporate the former temple worlds and colonies into the scope of the El psychic matrix.
"This is it. This town looks nice. It reminds me of the days when we fought on this planet." Augustus passed by a sign with the words "Ghost Town" written on it, a picture about Cha Sara.
A street sign with the words "StarCraft 1 Map".
After the Protoss bombed Cha Sara, every inhabited town became a true ghost town.
Judging from the establishment time of the town on the road sign, most of the residents here are miners and some aborigines who have returned to their hometowns long ago. They rely on working in the mines and related industries to make a living, and agriculture is highly dependent on government subsidies.
and hydroponic farms.
This can be seen at a glance. A large number of towns rebuilt under the revival plan after the final battle are prefabricated buildings with uniform standards. In the past, many engineering teams who still built roads, military camps and fortifications for the imperial army followed their instructions.
Using the same working method to build cities, cities that are several light years apart may have the same architectural layout, color matching, and even the location of street lights.
This town is more like the manors of Helsain and Haven. People used to build houses with stones and steel that were blown up by the protoss. Now they use all kinds of local wood that can be harvested at an alarming rate. Every family has one.
An astonishingly large courtyard, the backyard is planted with Saran pepper, McCallister lettuce, which is extremely expensive in the core world, and rows of Sul fruit trees.
There are not many people in the town, but you can still see a prosperous scene. Almost everyone is busy with their own things, and many people are repairing their houses and fences to deal with the small animals that eat their crops.
The agricultural machines of this era are by no means comparable to those of the old Federation era. They are larger and more efficient, and are technological products derived from the Xel'Naga structure.
Most of the people here are immersed in their own work and are not surprised at all by outsiders. The sergeant of the small town police station is a seven-year veteran of the Marine Corps. He is leaning out the window to repeatedly confirm that Augustus
Then he went back to call and report with a confused look on his face.
"Let's have a couple of drinks." Augustus parked the car in front of a bar called Bloody Mary.
There are anywhere from 10,000 to 8,000 Bloody Mary bars in the empire, and most of them are opened by people with military backgrounds. The most widely circulated theory is that when Emperor Augustus was in the old federal army, he served in Turasis
In the Bloody Mary Bar in II, he led his marines to fight with fleet soldiers.
Because this incident is so old and most of the people who experienced it have died in the war, there are many versions among the people.
The most widely circulated version is that Emperor Augustus was ambitious and had long been dissatisfied with the corrupt rule of the Federation, so he planned and led this righteous fight, and killed eight fleet soldiers by himself.
Good player.
After Augustus heard about it, he never understood the inevitable connection between the fight between a bunch of bastards and his dissatisfaction with the Federation, but he was satisfied with his statement that he had killed eight of them.
I don’t know why, people always like to exaggerate Augustus’ achievements. If Augustus had killed a hundred people, others would say that he was invincible. And the famous novelist Mr. Brainworm A
When writing "The Love Affair of Augustus the Great", I always liked to double the number of the emperor's confidantes.
This is the most famous pornographic book in the empire.
Augustus sat down at the bar of the bar and ordered a few bottles of Tarsonis No. 8 whiskey in a brisk tone.
The bar owner is a strong man with gray hair. The wrinkles on his face are filled with the marks of time. One of his hands has been replaced by a flexible metal prosthetic limb, which was used in Cerberus Zerg mechanical modification and neural connection technology.
It is now being used to help people who have lost limbs in war.
"They look really alike, even the voice is the same, but how is this possible?" The boss stared at Augustus for a while before taking out the wine and murmuring: "Is there really a clone of the emperor?
"
"Is that you? Your Majesty?"
The emperor is coming to Cha Sara? Why haven't I heard about it? It can't be true. If this really happened, the planet would be boiling for several days.
"I am who I am." Augustus looked at the veteran a few more times and noticed that his other leg had also been replaced with a prosthetic limb. These prostheses were undoubtedly high-end military goods. In addition to soldiers injured in the war, other channels currently have
It's hard to get the goods.
The style of the bar can be seen at a glance as that of a military barracks. It uses local materials and is simple and practical.
After the war, a large number of soldiers took off their military uniforms and returned to their families. These people either returned to their old careers or entered positions arranged by the government. As part of the recovery plan, many people were also able to receive a large amount of land in the New World as compensation for their retirement.
Since returning to Korhal, Emperor Augustus has been committed to improving people's livelihood and has implemented a large number of policies to restore the economy. A large number of the latest technologies have been used in extensive people's livelihood construction and production. Even Augustus and
None of his ministers expected that prosperity would come so quickly.
In two years, the average personal disposable income of residents of the core world has doubled, and assembly line workers can invest in stocks while owning private hover cars.
After the war, people's income not only increased, but their desire for consumption also increased. The strong demand for consumer goods further stimulated market prosperity, and the huge factories that the empire put back into civilian use were fully able to meet this bottomless pit-like demand. And if someone
If you want to leave the highly competitive core world, hundreds of new colonies under construction are a better choice.
This was a good era that the common people at the end of the old Federation could not imagine. Before that, the residents of the empire were even afraid of the invasion of the zerg and hybrid armies.
"It's really a hell." But the other party obviously didn't believe it, thinking how could Emperor Augustus come to this remote country to drink inferior wine when he was busy with everything. All the time, the emperor was either ruling the empire from the throne or leading troops on an expedition.
.
"This place is nice." Renault had already stepped in first, followed closely by Tychus.
Tychus was obviously unhappy that he had to pay for his drinks.
The bar owner was completely shocked: "Admiral Reno?"
The fact that Tychus Finley spawned in the bar was nothing to make a fuss about.
Check out the correct version one by one!
"Hello." Renault chuckled: "This is what it's like to be a celebrity. It's really hard to be a low-key person."
"Is cloning technology so advanced now? After all, I hear every day that new gadgets have appeared on Kohal." The boss was already thinking about it, wondering if there were rebels who secretly cloned the leader of the empire and were preparing to cause trouble.
Still from UED.
When you think something is wrong, it's the Earthlings.
"Clone?" Tychus sat down: "Yes, that's right, it's what you think, hahahaha."
"Are you an imperial veteran?" Augustus also smiled.
"Yes, it used to be, until a year ago." The boss was still hesitant, but he still proudly stated his identity.
"I want to pay tribute to you, warrior, then you must have participated in the final battle." Augustus personally opened wine to Renault and Tychus: "You must not forget that we once passed through the void of Urna.
Open the door and face endless void creatures and insects."
"Many, many people died before we finally killed the Void Evil God."
"I will never forget that day, but I will never regret following the Emperor." The boss showed deep fear on his face, and he said almost to himself: "I have always been with Wade and
Fergis's parents said that they died heroically and died in battle, but that was not the case. They died at the hands of one of their own, a transport pilot who was driven crazy by the hybrid."
"That bastard drove the ship into the opening void rift. I saw this with my own eyes."
Although the war has only subsided for two years, various protoss forces have signed long-term peace treaties with the empire, and the zerg, the nightmare of generations, has disappeared, and even the sighting reports are pitiful.
However, the war seems like yesterday.
"What a nightmare," Reno said.
"I don't want to mention those things in the void, but they are all in the past." Tychus said with a rare seriousness: "Those of us who can come back alive are just lucky enough. Who knows which ship Eamon smashed.
But as long as you step into the void, you are a complete hero."
"Is their family doing well?" Augustus' eyes became sharp. If the other person's answer was no, then someone must be in bad luck.
"Oh, good. I mean, it's very difficult to get over the pain, but they have all been well cared for by the Military Council." As he said this, the man stood up and gave Augustus a military salute.
"Andre Madrid, retired with the rank of Major, Your Majesty."
Andrei had met Augustus with his own eyes. He believed that such a unique leadership temperament could not be imitated by clones. This is a very mysterious feeling. When the emperor really speaks a few words to you, you will
I don't think there can be another person like him in this world.
Now he thinks he is so ridiculously stupid for believing in such nonsense as human cloning.
"And the subsidies and pensions I received are enough for me to live richly until I die. Opening a bar is just to pass the time." It's amazing to say that, but when standing next to the emperor, it seems that when I recall the cruel scene of the final battle, I also feel sad.
No more fear:
"At that time we thought we were doomed, there were enemies everywhere, endless. Some said the emperor's flagship had crashed, and the soldiers were in panic, until the queen"
Andre suddenly stopped talking.
Not many people actually saw Kerrigan transform into a xel'naga, but that's what almost everyone said.
The Queen became a god in the void and killed the evil Eamon, but after she sent everyone out of the void, she never appeared again.
Many people thought Queen Kerrigan was dead. Lady Lisa is now the administrator of the palace, but no one has become the new queen, and the position has always been vacant.
Emperor Augustus never talked about it. No one dared to say that the queen was really dead, but they all felt sad about it. The people knew nothing about it, and in these people's eyes, the queen just became
I just live in seclusion and no longer participate in public activities.
Only the soldiers who had experienced the final battle were quietly holding mourning activities, thinking that His Majesty was just too sad to admit it.
"You mean Sarah." Augustus said, "I am waiting for her here. What a coincidence, this is a ghost town, and we are waiting for a ghost."
After Kerrigan killed Aemon, she also gained control of the void as the controller of endless reincarnation. She closed all entrances to the present world, trapping all zerg and void creations inside.
After that, for the rest of the time, Kerrigan carried out endless killings and exterminations alone in the void, while purifying and corrupting them to ensure that all creatures that came into contact with the void would no longer be affected by evil thoughts.
When Kerrigan completed all this, she returned to the present world and traveled to countless planets to spread the seeds of life, and Cha Sara happened to be her final destination.
"The family can't live without her." Augustus said: "They say I am only qualified to teach my daughter how to wear skirts."
"Hahahaha." Tychus laughed, but just in the middle of his laughter, he was frightened by Augustus's light eyes, which made him burp.
"Really?" Andre was happy at first, but then he felt puzzled. He couldn't figure out where the queen had been in the past two years and why she appeared here again.
Suddenly, a slim figure walked in.
She has red hair and emerald eyes, white skin, young and beautiful, just like Sarah Kerrigan when Augustus first met her.
"Cowboys, long time no see," Kerrigan said.
Tychus whistled: "You look really good. You look like a little girl. Have you rejuvenated your youth? It seems like someone here has to go to jail."
"You should really go see my little daughter. She has grown up while you were gone." Renault said with a smile: "Liddy insists on naming our next girl after you, no matter how I tell her
It’s useless to say you’re not dead at all.”
"Guys, she is so beautiful." Augustus said with a smile: "I must have fallen in love with her at first sight."
