Camerion's twin-engine jet fighter followed the dark black Apod-46 transport ship Little Devil, and the orange laser beam passed by the side. The spacecraft driven by Jack was in danger after several difficult evasive maneuvers.
And narrowly dodged the attack.
The black-gray spaceship flew close to the same-colored land as Meinhof, passing over rugged rocky beaches and dry canyon river beds, while the Cerberus fighter planes with golden-red stripes followed closely behind and above, as if they were a
A falcon hovering just above its prey.
"This is transport ship AP-404, calling the escort formation, requesting support!" Augustus could hear the pilot's voice on the contact channel.
Jack's call for help was quickly answered. A CF/17 Wraith fighter turned from high altitude and locked onto the Cerberus fighter chasing the little devil. Two Gemini air-to-air missiles popped out of the missile bay under the wing.
, dragging long plasma flames and white vapor trails towards the enemy aircraft.
Amidst the cheers of the demons in heaven, the hellhound that followed them like a death-seeking god exploded.
The little devil turned again and flew towards the designated landing point, flying all the way through the dark brown wasteland and cinders without any green. The hills piled up by the slag looked like patches of termite nests on the African continent of the earth.
Some cranes and smaller trucks, which looked like toy models from this height, were parked beside these hills. Workers on the ground had long abandoned their tools and ran away. A tower was used to point the way for vehicles in the event of a storm.
The signal tower stands alone among the hills.
Beyond this group of hills, a looming group of deep black buildings suddenly appeared on Augustus' HUD display. The dense spiers and arched windows looked like conches and glowing shells on the beach in the sunlight.
Different from the grid-like town buildings and domed cubic houses of the Tyranid Federation colonies, the buildings of the Kemorians are more distinctive. They use cut marble and simple but beautiful cubic stone pillars to build their castle-like buildings.
family residence.
The buildings close together have extremely high domes and many small windows. Brick courtyards separate the large clans. Miles of high walls separate the entire New Apollovin community from the wind, sand and wild beasts of the outside world.
Isolated from the outside, the two black satellite communication spiers are like two tentacles on the horizon, and several Camorian spacecraft are taking off or landing, looking like black spots rising and falling in the distance.
"Old Jack, drive more slowly, don't be in a hurry." Renault complained on the transport ship's internal channel: "To be honest, I almost vomited."
"How about you come?" Jack said slowly.
"That shouldn't be difficult. I've driven the ship in the holographic projection simulation cabin of the Iron Justice, and my score has always been the highest." Renault was eager to try: "This is what you said, I will be the one to drive the ship next time.
Go back. I bet I’m only one earth-shattering, god-level maneuver away from getting my pilot’s license!”
"Oh, I'm afraid you have to sail back alone, Jim, because no one dares to sit on it." Tychus teased.
"It's about to land, get ready, boys." Jack laughed loudly: "The butt is about to land!"
The Kemorians in the New Apollon town community apparently discovered the approaching transport ship through their radar. The anti-aircraft missiles were already in the air, and the little devil had to find a depression two miles away from this Kemorian residential community.
landed in.
Driven by the hydraulic device, the ramp slowly unfolded. Augustus was the first to get off the spacecraft. He held the electromagnetic rifle in his hand and observed the surrounding terrain. The demons of heaven in black and gray power armor came from behind him.
File down.
"I think the little devil should be equipped with a stealth module." Augustus said while instructing others to cover the spacecraft with a simulated bad environment curtain for camouflage: "In this way, at least today we will never be caught by that...
Targeted by annoying hellhounds."
"Do you think fourth-class Marines are still qualified to enjoy this kind of treatment? They are worthy of taxpayers' money by not letting us wear crotchless pants to fight." Tychus poured cold water on Augustus.
After a month of getting along with each other, Tychus Finley gradually gained Augustus's trust and gradually integrated into this special tactical force. The hooded skull tattoo of the Heavenly Demon brought everyone together.
connected together.
Of course, that is the opinion of others. To veteran oilman Tychus, these people are just another group of passers-by in his casual military career, a group of not-so-stupid comrades.
In the past, Tychus was not so keen on integrating into the group. He was always used to being a lone ranger. Tychus had few friends because he could not trust other people. Even when "doing business", Tychus would try his best.
Make money through the most convenient channels with the fewest people.
The more people cooperate, the more money is shared.
The reason why Tychus Finley is happy to hang out with the demons in heaven and occasionally chat about everything is because their boss, Augustus Mengsk, is a money-maker.
The most important thing is that Augustus was quite generous to his own people. Tychus had never seen a gangster or a smuggler who would give so much money to his subordinates and only take a small part of it.
It's almost like he doesn't care about money at all.
To Tychus, such people are like elegant nobles in the slums or saints in the brothels, who cannot exist in this world.
This kind of person is worthy of Tychus to follow. No "real man" with blood and backbone like him would have trouble with money.
Generally speaking, Tychus always likes to work alone, and only does jobs that pay quickly. If he is asked to carry a bag to work, it is better to let him serve as a maid or serve dishes elegantly in a backless evening dress.
Cake. Tychus rarely treats everyone with all his heart, but the boss who is loyal enough and willing to put money in his pocket is an exception.
Augustus seemed to understand what Tychus wanted.
Recalling the scene when he first met Augustus, Tychus always felt a little strange. Augustus seemed to see through what kind of person Tychus was at a glance and liked him.
Tychus was sure that he had never met Augustus, but the kind of person who could see through the other person with just one glance did not exist in reality. He should only appear in electronics or in the biographies of great people with exaggerated words. inside.
Tychus knew that successful generals or financial giants would ask writers to write autobiographies in their later years, and he firmly believed that Augustus would not remain unknown throughout his life.
How will the biographers of Augustus, long in the future, describe the first meeting between the great robber Tychus Finley and him?
"Sooner or later I will find someone to modify it. Our power armor technology, Mr. Fick, is not good at modifying things other than armor and weapons." Augustus nailed the bad environment simulation curtain to the wall with dozens of inches of thick nails. In the hard soil of Meinhof.
The Demon of Heaven, who had followed Augustus for a short time, knew that he would never give up before completing this matter. Harnack lacked patience and persistence in most things, while Augustus was exactly the same. on the contrary.
