Chapter 4: A Fateful Encounter
"Hmmm... We can attack Antiga Main with the main fleet," Warfield said
"This galactic federation cannot afford to be lost, but for us, it is a hot potato, and there is a flood of aliens, so we don't need to send them to death," a big boss raised doubts
Mengsk glanced at the person asking the question, and silently marked this idiot in his heart, planning which war to send this guy to death. He is much better now than he was when he first started the uprising, and there is no need to keep everyone.
"Of course not, our main purpose is only a feint, the purpose is to attract the attention of the neighboring Imperial Army, and according to the distribution of surrounding forces, the only one who comes to support is the Alpha fleet, the Imperial Tasannis fleet is too busy to take care of itself, and the Sara system is just a gradually abandoned frontier system, what to do is self-evident, next...
"Next, Lieutenant Kerrigan, lead your secret service team into Marsala to conduct reconnaissance and amicable retrieval of our payment, and we will send a part of the fleet to meet when Duke comes to Antiga to support, and by the way, accept the colonists who have not yet been swallowed by the aliens" Mengsk directly said the final arrangement
"Alright, guys, let's do it"
"Yes" × N
Marsala, the temporary office of the Governor of the Colony in the Plains Evacuation
"Damn the Federation, why lock up the militia elite, the only remaining militia to protect the colonists is obviously lacking in combat effectiveness, I hope we can survive to the rescue of Mengsk," the governor said hatefully.
"Your Excellency the Governor, is Edmund Duke just sitting idly by, after all, we are the eighth colony planet of the Federation", an official-looking man asked
"That's just the past, his Alpha fleet is now more concerned with the Antiga system, and we are dispensable, if it weren't for the Federation's laboratory here, he probably wouldn't have shown up. James Reynolds, that idiot won't be locked up either. ”
"But we are so directly appealing to the people of Mengsk ... You know, there are still some of Duke's people who have been left behind in Marsala, and when the Federation knows about it, will there be anything... Another official hesitated
"Hey, Federal. . . Don't mention the Federation to me, we don't care if we live or die, we don't have any use in their eyes, since those aliens have begun to proliferate, why bother to save us. What's more, no one knows if the tragedy of Josara will be repeated. The governor said grimly, "Besides, if there is really an enemy, they will only flee for their lives, and they don't care about our life or death, the Chimera base has long fallen, it is the hardest hit area, relying on the backwater base alone, hehe, when the time comes, I can't say what will happen."
The people around him were awe-inspiring, and at the same time felt a little lucky, after all, no one wanted to die.
"Now, militia, hurry up and be on alert, we have no danger to defend now, how many disgusting aliens are there in Marsala, haven't they all been wiped out by James Renault...
"Newspaper. . . Notice, report, Governor, alien figures are beginning to appear all around" A militiaman ran over in a panic
"Militia, militia, hurry up and defend the colonists, the people, everyone who can shoot will go together to resist the aliens, once the defense line is broken, everyone will be finished"
At this time, the orbit over the backwater base
"Guys, according to the latest ground scans, the aliens have begun to attack, we expect to land at the backwater base, according to the intelligence of the local colonial governor, there are a small number of federal soldiers left here, kill them, and search the entire base, second lieutenant, you take a few people to support the colonial team, if the situation is not right, just bring the governor back, we don't need the others." Kerrigan didn't have any compassion, her purpose was clear from the beginning, "Alright, ready to land"
Surface
"Hey, I don't know when the general will let us return to the fleet, the planet is no longer safe," said one of the machine gunners
"yes, I still want to go on that date with the Medic."
"Date, man, are you sure you don't end up in bed... Belch. Before he could finish speaking, he was shot in the head and fell, and the machine gunner on the opposite side was about to sound the alarm, but as soon as he moved, he heard a thud, and then he also fell.
"Bah, miscellaneous" Kerrigan stepped over the two corpses, "Now, let's start according to the original plan" "Yes"
Over the orbit of the planet Marsala, the Gancui lock number
"Executive, by order of the Supreme Council, we need to immediately incinerate the entire planet, this...
"Adjutant, I understand what I'm doing, the Star Spirit of the Supreme Council doesn't know anything about the situation here, and besides, there are signs of human activity on the ground, I can't sit idly by with them"
"But..." Massar wanted to give another admonition
"Nothing, have you forgotten what the principles we have always adhered to? Helping the weak is the foundation of our Templars, and the credo we swore to abide by on our first day as Templars, that we exist to protect us. I will personally lead the team to the surface, and you, Adjutant, you need to defend the Gancui Lock, if something happens to me, destroy the planet immediately, and then continue the expeditionary force's mission, carry out the order"
"Yes. . . Executive" Marsal looked deeply at his beloved Executive, and because of this, it was worthy of his follow, "I will defend your glory" He secretly made up his mind in his heart.
Backwater base, an hour after the Kerrigan landing
"Report sir, we have found a group of militia in the underground prison below the Backwater base, and their commander is the local planetary chief James Reynolds," an agent reported
"Oh? What surprise will it bring him to me, the chief of a planet?"
Renault was a little dazed at this time, and when he was worried about the cell, there was a sudden violent tremor, and then a big opening opened in the wall, and then some invisible ghost agents came in, and brought him out without saying a word, during which he asked the person next to him how was outside, but the other party refused to answer, and when he was almost crazy, he was brought to a beautiful and abnormal woman, of course, it looked like a prickly poisonous rose.
"Your name is James Renault? The total length of the planet? How could he be imprisoned in a prison cell, it couldn't be that he did something unseemly, right? ”
"Damn it, please don't insult me, if leading the people to defend their homeland is also what you call an unsightly deed, then we are speechless" Renault was furious, his face flushed.
"Oh? It seems that you have offended someone who should not be offended" The corners of Kerrigan's mouth went up, and for some reason, it seemed interesting to see him go crazy.
"Enough, you didn't call me here to make fun of me, my brothers are still in their cells, I want to rescue them, and the safety of the people of the colony is not guaranteed."
"Introduce myself, I'm Lieutenant of the Special Operations Team of the Sons of Keha, Sarah Kerrigan, and we are here to rescue at the request of the Colonial Governor of Marsala," Kerrigan said
"Son of Keha? A group of rebels? Oh, I'm sorry, I don't mean to belittle you, I've done something similar. However, he actually asked you for help, has the situation come to this point?"
"Why, you don't seem surprised? Shouldn't it be Edmund Duke's scum who appears here? Kerrigan was a little surprised, but also a little surprised.
"Of course not, Duke. Hehe, he doesn't care if we live or die, okay, don't talk nonsense, let's go rescue our people first, ghost agent, are you going to come with us" After saying that, Renaud didn't care whether Kerrigan answered or not, turned around and walked out, ready to gather his men and horses to gallop to the aid of the colonists in the plains and wilderness.
Kerrigan looked at the back of the man who seemed to have a story, he seemed to be unkind to herself, her unusual spiritual senses could clearly sense his fluctuations, it seemed to reveal a little sadness, she was really a little curious about him。。。。。
