Chapter 3: The Son of Keha
Arcturos Monsk hadn't rested for a long time, and whenever he closed his eyes, his family always came to mind: a fanatical politician father, a gentle and generous mother, a passionate brother, a mischievous sister, and their figures haunted him like nightmares. He knew, he knew what he couldn't do, the damned Federation was still alive, and he vowed to overthrow and eradicate the executioners.
He sometimes thinks back to his passionate years, when he had a great dream of becoming the Federation's greatest adventurer, and he fantasized about one day being able to sail a spaceship on his own to explore the alien zone, as he has been doing since he retired from the Union Army. However, a message shattered all illusions so abruptly. When he received the news of his family's doom, his first feeling was that it was an April Fool's joke, but whether it was a calendar or reality, it didn't seem to be related, and his father's phone call a while ago also swore that Keha had become independent, and the Federation had succumbed, but within a few days, he was dismembered, his family was gone, and he fell from heaven to hell.
So, he returned to Planet Keha 4, contacted his father's old ministry, and together they formed the Sons of Keha, and publicly raised the anti-flag. He dreamed of overthrowing the Commonwealth, torturing the executioners of his family's murder with the cruelest punishment in the world. When he learns that the ghost agent who attacked his family has survivors, he makes an unexpected decision. Sarah Kerrigan, a beautiful flower, is also a thorny rose. The direct killer of his family, he left her behind and helped her remove the psionic suppressor and free herself from the Federation's control, and he smiled madly when he said to the dissidents, "What could be funr than stabbing an enemy to death with an enemy's knife?" There is a deeper reason why he left this person, he is afraid of her, or afraid of her spiritual energy, he wants to use her to stimulate him at all times, give him motivation, let him remember this hatred, some dirty work, unsightly work can be done by her when she has use value, as for the future, do you need to do it later...
"Akturos, what's next?" said Kerrigan by his name, as always, as she thought would show her gratitude to him, yes, she was full of gratitude and guilt for him, and the other party rescued her, after she had participated in the killing of the other person's relatives. Even if the other party has other intentions, it is no less than giving her a new life, so she originally intended to give everything for her revolution, and she has always done so, loyal, capable, and trusted.
"Kerrigan, don't be impatient, wait for the others to come"
"Well, you're always playing tricks"
For a moment, the Sons of Keha sat on either side of the conference room waiting for the meeting to begin, and Mengsk put his hands on the table, patted the table, and signaled to begin.
"Lieutenant Kerrigan, please, report on the Antiga reconnaissance," he commanded
"At present, the alien has invaded Planet 6 of the Antiga system, and there are traces of expansion, this alien is good at collective combat, its body fluids are highly corrosive, violent, aggressive, and ugly; Based on the current situation, if Antiga 6 is lost, it may threaten the main star of Antiga... Kerrigan reported in as much detail as she could, she couldn't have imagined that this thing was something she had seen in a lab at the beginning, and she had tried to communicate with them as before, but it had attracted more violent attacks, and she almost couldn't come back.
"What do you think now?"
"I don't think it's the time to start a full-scale war with the Federation army, so it's better to take advantage of the Federation to deal with this alien crisis, and we will secretly do our best to accumulate strength and wait for the future... It was his old buddy, Warfield, who spoke, a black charcoal head.
"What do the others suggest?" asked Mengsk quietly
"I agree with General Warfield's suggestion, at present, our strength is not enough to compete with the Federation, the Federation's military strength and technology are ahead of us in an all-round way, once we lose, the consequences are unpredictable, I suggest, we can secretly develop our strength in places where the Federation does not care" A big man from the Yumoyan Protector Army also agreed.
After the others had no viable suggestions, Mengsk fell silent. In fact, he didn't approve of these step-by-step routines, his adventurous spirit in his bones, and the strong hatred that almost consumed him, he didn't have that much patience, but their concerns were indisputable, especially after the Federation suddenly launched an apocalypse nuclear bomb when he was allied with Yumoyan, attacked his lair, Keha 4, and burned everything.
In the dreary atmosphere, Warfield looked at his old friend, he knew that his old friend was not satisfied with his advice, it could be seen from his lack of a word, but the sudden attack on Keha 4 was too great a blow to the son of Keha, and it was not easy for Mengsk to persist from nothing to now, although the road ahead is uncertain, but he will accompany him to go down, even if he goes to hell.
"Commander, there's an unfamiliar signal coming in," the synthesized adjutant's voice came
"Pick it in," Mengsk replied
"Arcturos Monsk, son of Keha, I am Malik, the governor of Marsala, and I really don't want to have anything to do with you, but our planet is now under attack by aliens, and the army of the Federation has no time to manage us, please come and save us"
"Are you sure you're doing what you're doing? You're asking for help from the rebels of the federal government, are you serious? ”
“。。。。 Yes, I know what I'm doing, damn it, you don't have to worry about it, if you can come, I'll give you a gift you can't refuse. ”
"Tell me about it," Monsk raised an eyebrow
"The latest technology of the Federal Research Institute, as well as the research report on the alien, how about it?"
"What, what you said is true!?" After receiving an affirmative reply from the other party, Mengsk immediately made a decision, "Okay, I understand, we need to discuss the decision to send troops, I promise, you will be rescued, but, you must promise, give me those things"
"Hopefully, please hurry, or you'll have to ask for my ghost."
After ending the call, Mengsk knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come
He slowly stood up and said loudly to everyone in the room, his backbone, "Guys, here's our chance."
"But, Arcturos, our team Marsala doesn't know anything, and there is also Edmunduk's Alpha fleet nearby, do we have a chance... Kerrigan was worried.
"General, it's time to play your part" Mengsk smiled and looked at his loyal companion, and Warfield also seemed confident at the moment.
