The battle continued until near dawn, when all of Augustgrad was finally returned to the hands of Mengsk, and he became the veritable Emperor of the Tyranid Empire.

The shouting finally stopped, and the soldiers dragged their tired bodies to clean up the battlefield, and the streets were full of ruins, and the newly built buildings were in ruins.

Renault could no longer take care of this, he was too sleepy, and the long battle had exhausted his strength, so he gathered his team and returned to the camp that had just been built, ready to rest, and let the Hyperion finish its replenishment by the way. Keha had already been recaptured, but he couldn't stay here long to prevent the moths from appearing, and Phoenix agreed with him, suggesting that the Templars could patrol and warn them. After all, the stamina of their star spirits is much better than that of humans, even if they are tired, they can meditate on the spot.

"Okay, dude, thank you for your kindness, I'm so sleepy", Renault turned on the communicator, "Mark, do you have anything to eat, you can put some down, the battle is over"

"Okay, Commander, it's no surprise to hear your request, I'm ready"

"You've won my heart," Renault laughed, "how long will it take to get resupplyed", and I hope tomorrow, no, today is safe

"It's up to the Monsk side, but actually, we can borrow fuel first, presumably they won't mind", well, after staying with Renault for a long time, the always upright little pony brother will inevitably develop this habit.

"I'm surprised to hear you say that," the commander teased in a rare way, "I thought you'd say you'd go head-to-head."

"Extraordinary times should be treated very well, I have always known how to be flexible", Xiao Ma explained seriously

"Okay", Renault, who saw the airdrop flying here, ended the call, "After eating, I'm going to take a break, who knows what else awaits us?" Unexpectedly, the words became a prophecy.

"Duran, it's time to go to the chaff, now that the council's ceremonial base on this planet has been destroyed, only their forces on Char can pose a significant threat to me", Kerrigan was in a happy mood at this time, in Leviathan, she was in a will-to-will link with Duran, and it could be seen that she couldn't wait, "It's time to enter the second phase of the plan"

"What do you mean? So, what are your allies on the planet Keha going to do? To be honest, I admire them", Duran said sadly

"But who told them to be ignorant!" Kerrigan had an empathetic expression, "They are of no use to me anymore, although they do have some use, but keeping them alive may be more threatening to me"

"But they don't seem to be easy to deal with," Duran worried, "and if one doesn't cause a counterattack, then... ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, they are indeed very smart, especially Renault and Phoenix, but sometimes it is not good to be too smart", Kerry Gan Zhizhu held it, "Now is the time when they are most sleepy, and it is also the most relaxed time, take advantage of this time to attack, they will not think of it"

"Queen, you are really wise", Duran praised from the heart, as a mortal race, Kerrigan behaved worthy of her role, "While they are sleeping, no one notices, we can tear their defenses apart with relative ease"

"Well, though, don't underestimate our opponents, even if we take them by surprise, we obviously don't have the ability to hit them at the same time, I think, we can take that idiot Duke first"

"And we have an inner response," Duke continued, "you are prescient, Queen"

"Okay, no more praise, let's get started"

"As you wish, my Queen"

Duke's barracks is located in a square west of the center of Augustgrad, this used to be a parade square, the place is empty, this time is just used to camp, Mengsk is still collecting news from all sides on the Nord III at this time, he is going to wait until noon before entering the Imperial Hub, after all, we all know that it is not safe to get dark, and you will encounter ghosts if you walk more at night.

Several machine gunners patrolled outside the camp gates, and since the defense was not fully established, there were no other defenses except for a few batteries. However, the patrolling soldiers were listless, after all, after a fierce offensive and defensive battle, even if the Earth Army abandoned the planet in the end, the resistance still made it more difficult for Duke.

"Hey, is there any smoke? Bring me one, it's too sleepy," one soldier began

"I just have one left. Okay, here you go", the companion helplessly, "hold on a little longer, it'll be dawn soon"

"Hiss", he took a hard breath, revealing a comfortable expression, "You say, why do we always feel panicked when we cooperate with those bugs?" ”

"It's something that the big guys think about, I... Wait, what people? ”

"Sir, we were sent by His Majesty the Emperor... , the other party directly revealed his identity and approached

"What did Your Majesty send you for?" , The other side breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, but he still didn't let down his guard, which made Duran nod secretly, it seems that Duke is not so straw, but a few stinging snakes suddenly drilled out of the ground behind the guards, and when they reacted, they had already spit out the stinging snakes and died instantly.

"It's only your bad life", Duran made a mourning, typical crocodile tears, "destroy it for me"

The attack of the insects was sudden and rapid, and the entire camp was completely defenseless, and there was chaos in an instant, but the alarm sounded immediately, which woke Duke from his sleep.

"Adjutant, what's going on?" He kept his composure, "Why is there an alarm?" ”

"Commander, according to the detectors, an alien army has attacked us, and your army is currently retreating from the enchantment."

"Damn bitch, I knew you weren't kind", Duke had long been wary of Kerrigan, but he didn't expect her to really dare to attack directly at the risk of the world's condemnation, the key is that this time is too deadly, and integrity is the most relaxed time for them.

"Damn, give me all the channels, I want to...

"You don't have that time", Duran's voice sounded from behind the door, and with a bang, the door was blasted open from the outside, and Duke knocked down his chair in the violent air current, and the soldiers around him were blown around, but he couldn't care anymore

"Duke, you're done", Kerrigan's figure appeared from behind, her body was densely covered with insects, "How is it, General Duke, what else is there to say?" The appearance of the Queen of Blades made the whole scene tense, and the soldiers of the Duke side pointed their guns at her, but their slightly trembling hands still showed their unease.

"Yo Yo Yo, isn't this Kerrigan?" Duke seemed to have given up resistance, and the whole person returned to his former calm and arrogance, "I knew we would meet again, but you have a lot to explain, little girl"

"General Duke, you know I've always wanted to kill you, I'm actually quite excited"

"Then do it, little girl, you can't kill me without a few brushes", after speaking, he took out his gun and aimed it directly at Kerrigan in front of him, but someone was faster than him, and it was his ghost agent, "You... Duke looked down at the wound in his chest, where a special bullet pierced his heart.

"Didn't you expect to forget the infected soldiers you accepted?"

Duke seemed to understand something, and a smile reappeared on his face, but it was a mocking meaning, "Hehehe, you, Mengsk, haha, it's hard to say who won, don't be happy... Early.. The man, who had been a major general in the army from the Federal era to the Imperial era, finally realized at the last moment that his fate was almost doomed, starting from the time Mengsk asked him to receive those infected soldiers, hehe, all stupid people, "I will wait for you in hell"
