Chapter 105: The Past of the Tyranid Empire
Why did the Tyranid Empire appear?
In the traditional sense, the imperial form of government is to sublimate the power of the emperor to the extreme, while the federal form of government is to divide the power equally among everyone. And why did the Tyranids transfer the power that originally belonged to them to the emperor of the empire, when they were accustomed to the cooking days when all the rights were shared equally during the old federal period?
It all starts at the very beginning.
In the old federal period, although the constitution clearly stated that the rights of the state belonged to the people, it was because of the emergence of business supergiants and the rampant use of politicians. Merchants rely on the money in their hands and the public opinion tightly held in their hands, and politicians maintain their superior lives by fooling the common people - the dawn of the dish boil does not shine on the citizens of the Federation at all, and even most people cannot enjoy the blessing of the boil. Only business magnates and politicians are the only ones who benefit from the glory of the Federation.
Because some people maintained their superiority by plundering the wealth of others, soon, some people were dissatisfied.
Among them, the sons of Keha, led by Mengsk, began to challenge the rotten rule of the Federation.
Despite the decay and incompetence of the Confederacy, the waves of revolution have come one after the other, and they have shown the momentum of sparks. But the huge fleet they had amassed during the hundred years of their reign was still an unattainable peak for the sons of Keha.
The process of revolution was slow due to the sheer size of the federal government, but at this time, two large races outside the federation appeared before the Tyranids.
The first thing that appeared was the ugly and hideous alien worm. They are outnumbered and adept at using infections against humans. In the face of a sudden and unfamiliar enemy, the Federation fleet showed an incomparable vulnerability and weakness.
The insects infect one planet after another, killing countless humans, while the Federation's most powerful fleet is destroyed by the acidic spores and sharp claws and teeth of the insects in the process of stubbornly resisting the insects.
Then a second terrifying race emerged, the astral spirits with huge ships and unimaginable technology.
The huge warship can be used to burn the planet to remove the insect infection from the planet, the psionic shield that can be used on any item of the star spirit, and the ability to release the spiritual energy like magic itself, all give the star spirit a veil of mystery.
If two never-before-seen races had fought side by side against humans who didn't know the depth of their enemies, the people of the Tyranid Federation would not have survived to this day—but thankfully, these two terrible races were enemies of each other. They fight as soon as they meet, and wherever the insects appear, the Star Spirits with more powerful ships will appear and destroy them.
And the human feeling of the star spirit is completely different from the feeling of the human being to the alien worm. In the eyes of the Tyranid Federation, the astral spirit is the absolute standard insecticide, no matter where the insect appears and which planet it infects, the astral fleets will appear and purify the entire planet with lasers and flames.
The astral spirits are mysterious but arrogant, they do not have much contact with humans, and they often kill humans indiscriminately while destroying all the insects on a planet.
And the human feeling towards alien insects is much worse. The first is because civilizations are not similar. Alien insects reproduce by hatching nests and are keen to kill and infect. Humans, on the other hand, are viviparous and use mechanical warfare. In general, humans have more similarities to the astral spirits, so humans generally have more favorable feelings or lower dislike towards the astral spirits.
But alien insects are different.
In addition to the different directions of civilization, the Alien Worm itself is also one of the reasons for its disgust, and they have a penchant for killing - and this human antipathy to the Alien Worm reached its peak in the Battle of Tassanis.
Tasanis, the capital of the Tyranid Federation, the pride of the galaxy in the eyes of the Tyrannics, a huge fleet guards the first planet of the Tyranid Federation, and a perfect orbital defense system can make the rebels of the entire sector return without the help of the fleet. But under the large-scale attack of the insects without warning, this planet with military capabilities and economic and political peaks fell in an instant.
The returning Federation fleet was annihilated and the capital fell. In the eyes of countless Tyrannics, the incomparably rich political and economic center has become a purgatory on earth in an instant.
Countless people died in Tassanis, and this war also engraved the terrible imprint of the insect in the minds of countless people.
Later, due to the fall of the Tyranid Federation, the Son of Keha succeeded in establishing power and adopted Acturus Monsk as Emperor of the Tyranid Empire.
When Mengsk ascended the throne, the attacks of the insects were still there, the ships of the old Federation defected, and the star spirits turned a blind eye to the coup d'état in the human world.
The nascent Tyranid Empire has naturally been challenged innumerably, and on the human side, the families of the Old Federation have lost their rights due to the establishment of the Tyranid Empire, and they are unwilling to accept the disappearance of their rights, and they have used their past influence to cause great trouble for the new Tyranid Empire. The insects still showed absolute unstoppability. The fleet of the Tyranid Empire is still weak in the face of these alien creatures.
But with the onslaught of the insects weakening in an instant, and the old opposition being uprooted one by one, after gaining a rare stable life, people are shocked to find that the emperor who had surrendered his rights to the Tyranid Empire can be truly safe.
So they willingly handed over their share, which they had never enjoyed during the old federation, and enshrined Monsk as emperor.
So the empire survived firmly for four years.
So people were unknowingly ruled by the empire for four years.
After all, the reason why the Tyranids enshrined Monsk as king was because in the Battle of Tassanis, the insects showed overwhelming strength to the humans. And in that battle, which shocked everyone in the Koplu Star Zone, the military weakness brought about by the federal system and the backwardness of humanity itself were fully revealed.
People believe and can only trust that the Empire can protect them, and willingly accept the Empire's brutal rule.
If none of them knew the truth of the matter.
Knowing the truth of all this, Matt and Jim hope to uncover this shocking plot to shake the firm rule of Monsk. And Zhao Yi, who also knew the truth, chose to follow Matt and Jim Renault's plan and continue to walk down.
