37: Rice Shan's Perfect Plan

The Terran Commonwealth and its successor, the Tyranid Empire, did not control the colonies in the same way.

After the former defeated Moriath (the predecessor of the Kemorian Consortium) in the "Guild War" and became the leader of the Terrans in the Koplu Star District, the rapidly expanding colonies exceeded their control.

So the "old family" who ruled the Tyranid Federation came up with a brilliant idea.

That is, the colonies were allowed to be self-governing and even retain force, but they were required to obey the command of the Commonwealth and pay the taxes required by the Commonwealth on time.

If not, it's the fleet's face...... The federal officials who came up with this method are definitely from the Tarkin family, exactly the same as the Tarkinism in Star Wars.

And then in the same way, the Tyranid Federation also suffered from the same problems as the Galactic Empire in Star Wars, when there was no external trouble, it hated paying too many taxes and the colonies set off all kinds of riots.

In response, the Tyranid Federation used the Apocalypse nuclear bomb to burn the most fiercely resisted planet "Keha" to make an example of the monkeys.

It's a pity that this smart monkey didn't set an example, but instead contributed to the birth of the son of Keha.

Akturos, who led the son of Keha to kill the Tyranid Federation and establish the Tyranid Empire, deeply learned the lessons of the original Tyranid Federation.

Some obedient colonies, such as some agrarian worlds, give a great deal of freedom, and use these worlds as propaganda slogans to prove that the Empire and the Confederation are different.

And some of the concentration of die-hard and stubborn dangerous elements, the mineral world or the nest world, which will make their own weapons, directly send troops to station.

Mar Lhasa, the mineral world on the edge of the Human Empire's control area in the Koplu Star Sector was deliberately targeted.

Because it was once invaded by the insect swarm and burned by the star spirit, the current inhabitants are not one in the hundredth compared to before, and the Tyranid Federation does not have too many troops stationed here.

…… Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that Arcturos, who is chasing Jim Reynor all over the universe, does not know that his target is now on the planet Mar Sarah.

If you knew, it is estimated that the fleet will ride in the face the next day.

However, although Arcturus did not know, Mar Sara still ushered in the fleet...... The fleet did not ride its face, but remained quietly outside the exploration range of the Mar Sala colony, staring at the fringe colony with a strong onlooker.

On the bridge of the "King's Army", Mi Shan said after the welcome ceremony to the brain worm:

"Comrades, I have a perfect plan......"

Hearing Mi Shan's words, and that inexplicable title, except for Greenhill and the brain worm who didn't know what was going on, put on a serious expression.

The other game characters, including Shepard, who is usually very serious about what he does, all have a "boss and demon again" expression.

"I'm serious!" Mishan sensed the attitude of the characters and repeated.

"What is the plan? Father. Mi Indica was the first to respond: "Your will is our destiny." ”

In other words, Mi Indica is ready to execute Mi Shan's "Perfect Plan".

From this point of view, the game characters other than Greenhill are not enlightened enough...... Well, it's not enough, the main thing is that everyone hopes that Boss Mishan can put his mind on business, such as rolling with his daughters...... Ahem, 404.

"Ahem, haven't we been planning to rob Tadarin's fleet all along?" Mi Shan said with a little embarrassment: "The biggest problem with this plan at the moment is that it is difficult for us to find out where Tadarin is. ”

The Koplu Star Sector is very large, and it is a waste of time to find Tadarin's fleet accurately when some off-board technology cannot be used.

Although Mishan knows from the game that Tadarin's home planet is called "Srayne", the star map that General Gerard Dugall has passed to the United Earth Council does not have the coordinates of this planet.

After all, Tadarin's setting has been eaten by Blizzard several times, and during the Battle of the Brood, the UED Expeditionary Force did not communicate with Tadarin...... Even if there were, it was impossible to find the other party's hometown.

"We can find a node to hack into this world's intelligence network." Yone-Sakura said.

"But that's only for the Tyranid Empire's intelligence network." Mishan said.

"There must be information about the Star Spirit in the Tyranid Empire's intelligence network, right?" Yonezakura wasn't quite sure.

"From the reaction of the little prince, it can be seen that Arcturus still has a good control over secrets." Mishan said, "And if you really want to do that, you might as well send a few ghost agents to infiltrate Keha." ”

Hearing Misr mention the ghost agent again, Shepard's expression moved slightly.

"I'm talking about the ghost agents of this world...... Not a ghost agent of the Mass Effect world. Mishan explained.

"Yes, sir." Shepard nodded, and mentally made a plan to capture a few of the world's ghost agents to study it.

"I came up with a really good idea to save time." Mi Shan said: "That is to follow the protagonist, there are monsters everywhere~"

"......" Mi Shan's words caused the bridge of the King's Army to fall silent for a while.

This time, even Greenhill turned his gaze to the others, but the brainworm after plastic surgery didn't know what Mishan was talking about.

"If my memory is correct, when the Wings of Freedom plot began, Lei Ritian was carrying sparks and electricity all the way, except for the battle when he was educating Celandis, who was considered his junior, how to be a star spirit, the rest of the time was beating Tadarin."

Regardless of the attitudes of the characters, Yeather continued to talk about his plan: "As long as you follow him, you won't have to worry about not meeting Tadarin's fleet." ”

"The question is how do we keep the plot going without surprises? Father, we have caught the attention of Actulus. Mi Indica asked curiously.

"Don't worry, with my understanding of Arcturus, he won't let anyone know about the existence of the UED unless our fleet appears directly over Keha." Mishan explained.

"Isn't he going to do anything about it?" Yone-Sakura asked.

"Will his preparation have any effect?" Mi Shan asked rhetorically with a "smile".

"......" Mi Indica has already made it clear what kind of tasks the fleet needs to perform.

"Your Excellency, do you mean to send someone to follow Jim Renault and keep the normal flow of the game's story, while the fleet follows behind the fleet that captures Tadarin?" Greenhill summed up Misr Shan's plan in a few words.

"That's pretty much it, but you don't have to strictly maintain the normal flow of the game's story, you don't need to worry about some side quests, just keep Jim Renaud able to drive Hyperion around collecting Sarnagar artifacts like in the game."

Mi Shan said...... All of the Tadarin enemies encountered in the game were encountered while collecting the Sarnagar artifact.

"Why don't we find it ourselves?" Yone-Sakura said strangely.

"Because...... The exact location of those artifact fragments is known only to Naruud. Mishan said.

In the game, Narud used Prince Valenlian to collect artifact fragments with the help of Jim Reynolds' rangers.

As for why you want to make such a big bend, you still have to invest in the enemy by the way...... You'll have to ask the Blizzard screenwriters, and according to Misrance's understanding, maybe Narud didn't want to let Arcturus notice about it before the artifact completed its "mission".

"So who to send on this mission? Shepard? Greenhill immediately thought of the role that would be best suited for this kind of task.

"Of course, you have to come to this kind of show yourself!" Mi Shan said with a "smile".

"......" was silent again.

"This is your true intention, boss!" Yonezakura said loudly.

"Hang her up, and she won't have her share this time." Yoneshan said, although he didn't plan to take Yone's troublemaker with him.

"What about the entourage?" Greenhill asked.

"You, Baiji, Shepard, just form a team of four." Mishan said.

“…… If the Lord allows the fleet to follow from a safe distance......" Greenhill said after a moment's thought.

"Of course, remember to start the live broadcast throughout the whole process, and my ranking has fallen to third recently." Mishan said.

"My lord, I'm going to lock up the first and second place." Greenhill's decisive words made the beautiful sheep guarding the door tremble, she is currently the second most popular in the live broadcast of this expeditionary force.

"That's not necessary, and the first one is you." Misr said to Greenhill.

“??” Greenhill was puzzled, she usually prayed when she was resting, how could she have time to do a live broadcast.

"That's me, boss!" Mi Sakura said with an embarrassed face.

The most popular of all the live broadcast rooms is "The Daily Life of the Battle Commander", although it is often not hung up on the screen, but its popularity has never decreased.

“…… Ahem, to get down to the point, Shepard plays the ghost agent, Baiji plays the medics, and Greenhill you ...... Well...... Let's be a driver. Misr thought about it for a long time, not thinking about what to let Greenhill play.

"Yes, sir." Shepard immediately saluted.

Baiji, who had not intervened all the time, and was concentrating on being a guard, also nodded and said, "Okay, Childe." ”

"I have a question." The brain worm whispered, "My lord, aren't you a star spirit now?" Will Commander Jim Renault really believe you? ”

“…… This problem has been solved......" Mi Shan, who had finally waited for this problem, turned his head sideways and said to Jiajia, "It's up to you." ”

"That's good, boss." Jiajia raised her staff and waved it at Mi Shan as she answered, and the aura of the arcane flashed, and Mi Shan's appearance turned into a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

Although it was only a vision, Mi Shan, who finally felt the presence in his mouth, stuffed the cigar he had prepared long ago into his mouth and said:

"It's time for the show!"
