41: The swarm invades Mar Sarah
Although a large number of insect reactions were detected, Mi Indica did not move under Mi Shan's orders, and continued to maintain the entire fleet in a state of concealment.
Not aware of the fleet, and the army of insects in the same solar system, Wu rushed to the colony of Mar Sarah.
Compared to the hidden Human-Revolution fleet, it wasn't until the insects began to smash their sporangia onto the planet's surface, and the rangers who had gathered up their spoils and planned to flash the insects didn't notice them.
As the commander of the rangers, Jim Reynolds immediately turned his questioning gaze to his good brother Tykes:
"I knew it! Tykes, it's never good to follow you. ”
"Hey, dude, what does this have to do with me." Tykes spread his hands and said innocently, "I was still helping you squat in the room when there was a bug plague outside." ”
"......" Jim Renaud stared at Tykes very seriously, and after realizing that the other party was indeed not lying, he moved his gaze to Mishan, who was packing his things.
Mishan, who noticed Jim Reno's eyes, smiled and said, "Some things will attract humans, they will also attract insects, and they will also attract star spirits. ”
"It's just that humans and astral spirits will make a deal with you, but insects won't."
“…… Why do you speak so much like the astral spirit? Jim Renaud was choked by Mishan's words, and he didn't catch his breath.
"It's about Zhu Zhechi, Tasada and I are old friends." Mishan said with a smile.
"It's strange why Tasada never mentioned you to me......," Jim Renault said, shaking his head.
"Man, I don't think it's the time to talk about this, let's get out of the way before we get flooded with bugs." Tykes put his arm on Jim Reynolds and said, "I looked at their transport plane, and it was just enough to hold that artifact we had." ”
Tykaes's words made Greenhill's brow raise slightly, when did this guy get close to the transport plane?
"No, we can't leave anyone else behind." Jim Renault shook his head and said, "They are willing to join the Rangers, and I can't abandon them." ”
Jim Reynolds is referring to the locals of Mar Sara, who defected to the Rangers after destroying the Backwater Base.
"Then may I ask our messenger of justice, Sheriff Jim Reynolds, how are you going not to abandon them? Let them drive to the universe in small cars? Tykes said with a headache on his face.
"I've contacted the transport, they arrive quickly, never late, we just have to hold on until they come." Jim Renaud said.
"You even have a hand?" Tykes was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
"I've always been prepared, Tykes, and you don't know it." Jim Renaud said.
In addition to being full of self-confidence, Jim Renault, who was also very good at managing the army, soon set up a defensive formation like an iron bucket centered on the temporary base where Sarnaga was placed.
Due to the fact that Emperor ** destroyed a large number of baggage after the loss of the backwater base...... This was to prevent the equipment of the colonial garrison from falling into the hands of the rebels.
There are very few heavy weapons that Jim Renault can use, such as shock tanks.
But the combination of bunkers and rocket towers alone laid a very strong line of defense.
The three characters under Yoneshan's command have the following to say about this line of defense:
Nursery: Half an hour, Greenhill: forty minutes, Shepard: thirty minutes to two hours.
"Are you sure you only need to defend for thirty minutes? Instead of planning to fight a protracted war with these bugs? Tykes, who was also taken aback by Jim Reno's handiwork, asked.
"You haven't seen any insects, and you'll never know how terrible they are." Jim Renault, who forcibly pretended not to hear Mishan's comment, said: "I don't know how many soldiers will die for these thirty minutes." ”
"It's their choice, man." Tykes, who saw Jim Reynolds starting to be kind again, said.
"I know, I don't need you to remind me, if I didn't know that Ci is not in charge, I would have died a long time ago, Tykes." Jim Renaud looked at Marun, who had lined up into the bunker, and said, "It's a pity she's gone...... Alas. ”
"She? That ghost in the photo? Tykes asked with a sudden interest.
"No, the other one, a companion who has been with me for a long time." Jim Renaud said: "But she chose the Monsk ...... in the end"
The words of Jim Reynolds and Tykes reached the ears of Misr and the group, and Greenhill whispered, "Is that her?" My lord? ”
"Well, it should be her, the end of the Terran battle is the time when Kerigan was caught by the worm, and it should be that time after parting ways with Jim Renaud."
In fact, from the last battle of the Brood Battle mentioned by the Rice Worm Worm, in the information of the two Terran commanders at the same time, Mi Shan already knew that the Terran commander in the main story must have not left with the rangers, but joined Mengsk.
Mi Shan didn't plan to evaluate whether the character who died in the final battle of the brood was right or wrong, the road was walked by people, and it was a big deal to complain after being resurrected.
…… Maybe it's because of identity? Unlike Jim Reno, a river thief, the Terran commander of the Star 1 story is set to be a federal magistrate with a red seedling.
It is also understandable to part ways on such a major choice.
However, judging from the fact that the commander helped Jim Renault dismantle the anti-aircraft turret and let them escape in the final level, she is not too ruthless.
It seems that the sad matter has been revealed by the buddy again, and Jim Renaud, who doesn't want to say too much, walked up to Mishan and asked:
"Hey guys, what I want to know is, what does Tasada want you to do under the contract you have to hire you?"
"He told us to follow you." Mishan said, "As for why he followed you, Tasada didn't say much. ”
"Follow me?" Jim Renold's first reaction was that this was a contract of employment, but considering that the hirer was a star spirit like Tasada, it seemed understandable that the mouthless race always liked to engage in these god-like things.
The biggest reason why Jim Renault will become friends with Phoenix is that Phoenix is different from other star spirits, and belongs to the kind of outspoken and big-hearted ...... Therefore, there will be cases where you forget to charge the Psionic Light Blade when you go out, and the car overturns.
"Well, maybe he wishes we could protect you." Mishan said.
"Protect me? What do I have to protect? "Jim Renault didn't feel that he needed protection, and even Arcturus, who hated him the most, couldn't have sent assassins to kill him, that would only make him a martyr, and there would be a bunch of people rebelling against him under the banner of Jim Reno.
"Maybe it's because of your girlfriend's problem?" Mi Shan said with a smile.
"......" Jim Reynolds once again held his breath in his throat and did not catch his breath.
"Race isn't an issue, but I guess the biggest problem for you is that she probably won't show mercy to you." Mishan found out that after teasing Valenlian, she awakened some bad habits.
"It's not a joke, man." Jim Renaud said with a sigh.
"Hehe" Mi Shan showed a divine expression and forcibly changed the topic and asked, "So Commander Jim Reno, is there anything you need help with?" ”
“…… Hmm," said Jim Reno, who remembered that he had indeed come to find Mishan in trouble, "There are some residents nearby who did not enter the shelter when the insects came, and there are some Imperial soldiers among them, I hope you can help rescue them." ”
After saying that, Jim Renaud added: "This is not a very difficult task until the large-scale invasion of the biters, and I can't spare people on my side for the time being. ”
"Side quests......" After saying something that Jim Reynolds didn't understand, Misr said, "No problem. ”
From some points of view, this is really a task that I really want to arrange for mercenaries, in the spirit of disguised professionalism, Mi Shan also added by the way: "I will keep the account of labor expenses, and the invoice is personal or what?" ”
"Then no...... Jim Renaud wondered who he could call for an account even if he got the invoice, the foundation or something?
-----------------
PS: The third chapter is delayed, continue to play StarCraft, some settings have been pushed back and restarted, and even the entire plot has to be rearranged...... Anyway, according to the current outline, 100 chapters can be written in Wings of Freedom alone, and it seems that the plot needs to be compressed a little.
