Chapter 12: The Fall of the Tyranid Federation (3)
Char Planet is one of the thirteen core planets of the Federation, and although it is remote, it is still one of the core planets of the Federation.
At first, it was thought to be an uninhabitable planet, with volcanoes and lava in its interior and a thick dust in the air. Even so, it is valued by the Federation, as it has been tested to be rich in minerals and energy required by the Federation, and is much purer than other places. The abundance of minerals led to an increase in manpower, which was also coveted by all parties, and eventually became the fuse of the guild wars. Here, the warring sides are bombarded with nuclear weapons, making it even more difficult to survive in an already hostile environment. After the war technology, the planet gradually declined, but there are still federal troops here.
However, now Char, but not even a single figure can be seen, the entire planet except for the lava eruption and tumbling place, all covered by the fungus of insects, with obvious insects style buildings one after another, everywhere, as for insects, there are more, dense, people look at it, the scalp is numb.
When the equiparticle brainwave of Kerrigana strengthened by the transmitter came, it attracted the attention of the Juggernaut due to its different signal strength from the past, you know, although there were human signals before, most of them were a few levels weaker than this time, which means that the other party's spiritual energy may have reached the limit of the current race. "Perhaps, this is an interesting attempt", after thinking, it ordered that the number of swarms sent this time would be twice as large as before. The order was passed down, the brain worm listened to the order, and the dense Leviathan and the hive marched towards the place where the signal was transmitted.
At this time, the main star of Antiga
After waiting for a short time, the transport ship of Mengsk arrived, in addition to picking up Kerrigan and them, the rebels who had defected to Mengsk and the federal army collected by Duke also arrived one after another, and by the time everyone boarded the ship, another few hours had passed. At this time, the forces of the Zeg tribe in the sky had begun to appear, and more and more, and after the docking of the transport ship and the Hyperion, all the personnel were dispersed and transferred to the latter, and the transport ship was abandoned and crashed.
Now is the time to escape, and the ship should reduce the load as much as possible in order to increase its speed. The Federation's armies are now on their own, and the Zeg only attack the ships that block their path, and unfortunately, the Federation's ships are in these lanes, so they are surrounded and destroyed by the overwhelming Zeg. The Hyperion left in the midst of the chaos, and the Zeg didn't care about it, for they had enough prey left behind to digest it.
Mike: They were finally safe, and he and Kerrigan looked at each other with a look of relief.
"Hey guys, you two did a great job, I don't know what you did, but it looks like you're leading the Zeg away... Renault came out of nowhere and congratulated the two.
Kerrigan jerked his head up, his eyes filled with anger and shame that even Renault could tell. But the mood was fleeting, and all she felt was tiredness and collapse.
Renault suddenly stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder with concern, "Are you okay?" What's uncomfortable? Mike was amazed, it was the first time he cared so deeply about her
Kai Ruigan's mood has calmed down at this time, and he is concerned that he will be infected, "I'm fine, I'm just tired, just rest."
Mike suddenly felt a little redundant, "What about Monsk?" He asked, and he decided to talk to him.
"On the bridge, watching the battle there, I just came out of there, and to be honest, I can't stand it anymore."
After Mike heard this, he said to Kerrigan, "You can do it here, I'll report by myself"
Kerrigan seemed to be a little stunned, his body a little unsteady due to his weakness and forced to get up. Renault next to him held him up, "Ms. Lieutenant, it seems that you need to rest, let's go over there to chat, you should relax, how about it" Kerry Gan came back to his senses, the corners of his mouth curled up in a nice arc, "Okay, I accept your invitation, it would be better if I could have a cup of coffee..." ”
Mike really can't stand it, he's still single, okay, anyway, it's surprising how their progress is suddenly so fast.
At this time, Antiga's main outer orbit subspace, Gancui Lock
Tassadar, who had been chasing the insects all the way, looked at the planet in front of him that had been parasitized by the insects for a long time, and the order from the Supreme Council had been known, and everyone was looking at this respected executive officer, waiting for him to give the final order. Because of the disobedience to the order last time, although the Marsala was finally destroyed, the council's magistrates were still unhappy, if this time... Massar didn't dare to think any further, he stared at Tassadar, and finally reminded him, "Your Excellency, there is not much time left, the insects are coming, whether we want to bomb from high altitude or... In short, all have to hurry up and arrange"
Tassadar turned his head, "You're right, adjutant, there's no time to hesitate, but, they're all living creatures, I can't bear to watch them destroy with the insects", he looked at the map of the forces of all parties displayed on the screen, as well as the scanned ground situation, and made up his mind, "Send the first detachment, the second detachment, and the third detachment to the main star of Antiga, all the Templars except for the necessary personnel will turn around, and the rest of the fleet will be on standby, we, go to the ground and fight the bugs" After speaking, he turned and walked out of the bridge.
Marsal nodded helplessly, then turned to arrange the matter, which was extremely cumbersome, and to ensure that all the Templars returned safely in the event of a crisis, he needed to take care of everything himself to avoid mistakes.
Outside, with an order, the Star Spirit Fleet began to move, only to see a strong light flashing, in the sky of the main star of Antiga, three aircraft carriers suddenly appeared, surrounded by dense wingmen, in the high-speed march, the naval guns aimed at all the insects on the route, and the pieces of insect mothers and flying units were swept away. On the ground, with the appearance of crystal towers one by one, with sufficient functions, the leap was completed in an instant, and a large number of Templars stepped out of the light curtain and began to attack the insects on the ground, and look for possible survivors, and the addition of the star spirits made the situation of this war even more complicated.
Mike found Monsk in the observation room on the bridge, watching the war on the wall screen with chess with flags stacked on the table, and a bottle of whiskey. He turned his head, "Our warriors are back, you have achieved good results, and lo and behold, through your efforts and Sarah's, we have escaped the round-up of the Federation, and now, they are not able to protect themselves"
"You deliberately tricked me into going, didn't you?" Mike reached out and poured himself a glass of wine
Mengsk was a little apprehensive, "I didn't mean that, but I'm glad you went"
Well, even if it was pretended, this was the first time he saw Mengsk, and his heart was much calmer. He looked at the screen, which was dense enough to make a dense phobia want to commit suicide, but the tried and tested two people could still tell the difference, the yellow one was the Federation, the red one was the Zeg tribe, and so on, why did three blue ones suddenly pop up? He and Mengsk glanced at each other, and the blue dot of light gradually changed from one point to a small patch on the ground.
"Could it be the Protos? They're really haunted," Mike said uncertainly.
"It seems that they are right, it seems that this fight is getting more and more interesting, and I am a little excited"
"Are you going to kill a horse pistol?"
"Don't make fun of me, the important characters have already appeared, all we have to do is watch the play and see how this big show will end...
"Commander, unknown signal accessing... An electronic synthesized sound came out of nowhere
A Protos appeared on the screen, this was the first time Mike had seen them, the dark blue skin was full of energy, and the gold and white armor perfectly outlined their athletic strength, "Hello Commander of the Humans, this is the Gancui Lock, I am Tassadar, I have no intention of interfering in your fight, I have tracked the Worms here just to destroy them, and now it seems that you and your enemies are under threat from the Worms, I will send ground troops to fight them, and the accompanying search work... ”
Mike could see that Mengsk was unprepared for this, no, he might have had a hunch that the Protos would come, but unlike before, this time they actually took the initiative to talk to us.
The other party obviously didn't care whether Mengsk replied or not, and hung up the connection on his own.
"Wait, they will send ground forces? In other words, they are confident that they can defeat the Zeg? Think about it another way, isn't it the path of planetary destruction? ”
"Wake up, reporter, the Sara system is empty, and of course it will be destroyed faster than the battle, and besides, you can see that although their combat effectiveness is high, the difficulties caused by the Zeg clan are not small," Mengsk seemed to explain
"Then you brought in the Zeg to eliminate the Federation Army, and then you brought in the Protos to eliminate the Zeg, it's really a link! What else you cannot sacrifice or which day ... Mike suddenly couldn't speak
"Yes, in your opinion, I am a politician who will do whatever it takes to achieve the end, I do not deny this, and even I can sacrifice for the sake of the final success."
Mike suddenly felt tired, the conversation could not continue, he needed to rest, and Mengsk, the conversation did not affect his mood in the slightest, he still watched the live broadcast with great interest. Even though the Hyperion was already some distance away from the main star of Antiga, Mengsk enhanced the computer display in order to see clearly.
