Chapter 22: The Emperor Flees
There were many reasons why the UED forces conquered Keha, and one of the main reasons was that the military strength of the UED forces and the Imperial army garrisoned by Keha was very unbalanced at that time.
The establishment of the Tyranid Empire in Mengsk coincided with the demise of the old Tyranid Empire, and the Monsk Empire inherited most of the legacy of the Old Federation, but the empire did not begin with large-scale integration and acceptance.
And this consequence is that in the early stage of the Mengsk Empire, it was the weakest time for the Tyranid Empire, and it happened to meet the star spirit duel dominating the insect swarm, and the three forces in the Koplu Star Region entered a weak state at the same time, and the comprehensive strength of the entire Koplu Star Zone fell to the lowest point in history, and it was this lowest point that became an opportunity for the United Earth Council to successfully sweep most of the Koplu Star Zone.
Akturos Mengsk the Great transferred most of his army to various parts of the empire to garrison and integrate the order, so as to establish a complete ruling system, the result of this move is the extreme emptiness of the Keha garrison, because the empire has not yet entered the new army into service, most of the army is the original Keha rebel army and the old federal rebel army, the acceptance of the old federation has not been completely ended, the Mengsk Empire does not completely control the legacy of the old federation, so it has caused today's four-sided siege situation.
And this situation is a godsend for the UED, the United Earth Council Army.
Vice Admiral Stukov and Admiral Dugar analyzed the current situation in the Koplu star sector and decisively made a bold military move to directly attack Keha, while Lin Yidong Mantefield also provided various problems and suggestions for the development of the expeditionary fleet, which was not paid attention to by the UED in the original timeline, so that the UED fleet could easily break Keha.
And now, the Kkhawei Corps completely collapsed under the suppression of the combined ground and air fire three-dimensional strikes of the UED, and the command center in Mengsk was destroyed by the "East Wind".
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, the Alexander jumped into the sky over Keha, and at the same time, the Alexander with a group of battlecruisers surrounded the Norad III on three sides, Duke's flagship, and the battlecruiser where Mengsk was located.
"I want to see your rotating commander! I am the Emperor of the Tyranid Empire, Arcturus Munsk. ”
The adjutant received a message from Norad III.
"Oh, hello, Your Majesty Arcturus Monsk."
Lin Yidong took the first step to cut into the channel and Mengsk dialogue.
"You are the Legion Commander of the Ten Temples Legion, Lieutenant Colonel Lin Yidong Mantefield?"
Mengsk couldn't help but look surprised when he saw Lin Yidong's image appear on the screen.
"Yes, let me introduce myself, I am the Commander of the Tenth Hall Legion of the Main Fleet of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet of the United Earth Council, Lieutenant Colonel Lin Yidong Mantefield. Your Majesty, I admire you very much, it is really a miracle that you have been able to hold up for so long under the combined three-dimensional strike of our fleet. ”
Admiral Dugar cut into the channel and interrupted Lin Yidong's words: "Lieutenant Colonel, go do your thing." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Lin Yidong bowed slightly, and the moment before closing the communication, Lin Yidong squinted and glanced at Mengsk.
Through the video images, the careful and cunning Mengsk saw Lin Yidong's meaningful eyes, and his mind was lively at the moment, and his brain immediately ran rapidly, and then Dugal spoke: "Oh, Arcturos Mengsk, who has no end in sight, has appeared." I've wanted to meet you long ago before we finish our occupation. To introduce myself, I am Admiral Gerald Dugar, Commander-in-Chief of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet of the United Earth Council. I have to salute you, you did everything you could to stop us and you are an adversary to be admired. ”
Mengsk was not impressed by Dugal's false politeness: "Yes, thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency, but you must also know that your victory is only a small setback for me. I was able to overthrow the rule of the Old Union, and I was able to overthrow yours in the same way. ”
Dugar sneered: "Really? It seems unlikely that you and your people will be publicly executed by us. ”
Monsk was outraged by Dugal's undisguised threat of death: "How dare you do this to me! ”
"Ridiculous!"
Dugar did not hesitate to mock Mengsk: "Do you dare to say that you dare? A guy who proclaimed himself emperor still dares to say to me, do you dare? You expect too much from your own reputation, citizen Arcturos Monsk! Alexey, be ready to take Monsk into custody. ”
Just as the UED fleet of fighters was preparing to rush towards the encirclement and landing of Norad III, several signal transmissions were connected to the open channel.
"Gentlemen, if you want to get rid of Mengsk like this here, I think you'll have to postpone it."
With a violent wave of time and space, a huge battlecruiser broke into the war zone and came to the side of the Norad III, and near the battlecruiser, there were some Star Spirit fighters and small ships.
"Your Excellency, the flagship of the Reynolds Ranger of the Mengsk Empire's Resistance Army, the Hyperion, and a small fleet of Star Spirit have broken into the war zone."
The adjutant promptly informed Dugar of the news, and Dugal was taken aback: "Where did these guys come from?" ”
Mengsk was also inexplicable: "Jim Renault? What are you doing here? ”
Renault glared at Arcturos Monsk on the screen angrily: "I'm going to drag you bastard out of the fire pit." Arcturos, shut your mouth and stay still, don't act rashly, we still have accounts to settle between us, but there are some acquaintances who want to help you make a way out, so that your ship is ready to make a space jump. ”
And then a surprising scene appeared, only to see a few more strange energy storm balls out of thin air, and after the energy storm balls flashed, the Norad III and Hyperion in front of them and the small fleet of astral spirits disappeared in plain sight.
"It's lawless!"
Dugar roared angrily: "Track their location for me, catch them for me, and capture them back!" ”
Lin Yidong frowned and looked at the change of things, obviously, this is the activation of the cause and effect line, Mengsk was still taken away by Renault, if nothing else, they should jump back to the El, open the portal left in the El, and escape through the portal space-time channel of the El, and this escape will make them get rid of the tracking of the UED, and lay the groundwork for them to hide in the shadows in the future to help Kerrigan regain the swarm.
Take back the swarm?
Lin Yidong found out what he should do next at this time.
I have to go to Chast, and I must not let the swarm completely fall into the control of Kerrigan, and I still expect to cultivate a group of swarm troops.
After making up their minds, Lin Yidong and Stukov submitted an application to lead the Ten Palace Guards fleet to Char for reconnaissance first.
Stukov thought about it and agreed to Lin Yidong's application: "Since this is the case, then you ten palace guards will go to Char to check the situation first, and prepare for our next step to capture the master of the swarm, and Dugal and I will lead the main fleet to El to hunt down Akturos Monsk." ”
"Oh yes, General Stukov, where is that psionic launcher and research team?"
"Well, at the research base of the planet Blacksis."
Lin Yidong's eyes widened: "General Stukov, I have a reluctant request. ”
"You say."
"I want ultimate command of a worst-case scenario."
