46: Bagelgous

The Mobius Foundation gave Jim Renaud and his rangers the first mission to collect the Sarnagar artifact through Tykes, on a planet called "Monrais".

According to known information, there are only a few Star Spirits guarding the artifact......

Renault's eyes, who heard Tykes's introduction, condensed slightly, feeling that things were not so simple.

Just when Jim Reynaud was thinking about whether to break the fee and let the mercenaries of Mishan do a favor and deal with some unexpected situations.

A distress signal from the colony of Agria was picked up by Hyperion.

The colony of Agria is an ecological planet labeled as an "agricultural world", and has always been used by the Tyranid Empire of Arcturus as a colonial role model promoter.

According to all the propaganda of the Imperial media, the colonies should be like the planet Agrea, and they don't have to waste too much money and energy on worrying about their own safety, and the Empire will protect everyone.

The inhabitants of Agrea thought the same thing, entrusting all security work to the Imperial Fleet except for some security forces, so when the swarm invaded, the Agrea colony, which had been decisively abandoned by the Imperial Fleet, fell into panic and anger.

Enraged, the leader of the Agria colony, scientist Dr. Ariel Hansen, sent out a distress signal directly through the public channel.

Faced with two choices, Jim Reynolds thought about it for a while and chose to assist Dr. Hansen in the Agria colony first...... This is not because Commander Jim Renault is not oblivious, but because the Hubelion is still carrying tens of thousands of Mar Sarah's refugees on board.

In addition, it is only a mission to escort the evacuee, so there should be no need to ask mercenaries for help.

It was true that as Jim Reynolds had judged, the number of insects that had invaded the colony of Agria was small.

The recruits who had just become veterans after the baptism of blood and fire in Mar Sarah were more than enough to cope with the task.

The light-hearted and enjoyable Jim Reynolds not only earned the gratitude of the colonists of Agrea, but also helped the Ranger scientist Aygon Stetelman obtain several valuable samples of the insects.

Although the latter was complained by Dr. Arielle Hansen, who was on board with Jim Reynolds, that he was a scumbag who didn't graduate from elementary school.

Dr. Hansen also came to the Hyperion because the colonial fleet needed a fleet escort before they could find a new place to live, and because he wanted to thank Jim Reynolds for his help in the best of his ability.

With the help of the Hercules transports in the colony of Agrea, the Rangers were finally able to sleep in the aisles again.

Not to mention sleeping standing up before, I'm about to sleep on top of Arhats.

For his own commander who went out and came back with a girl, Captain Matt had a happy expression on his face.

Jim Renault, who forcibly ignored Matt's attitude, noticed that there was one person missing from the bridge...... No, it's a couple of people missing.

"Where's Tykes? And what about the mercenaries? Jim Reynolds asked.

"That's right, sir." Matt gave a little talk about the relationship between Misr and Hill, a mercenary broker in the Port of the Dead.

"What? I remember Hill wasn't that kind of person. Hearing that Misr Shan was going to let his subordinates "fight" with Ciel's mercenaries, Jim Renaud was very confused.

Just as Hill knew that mercenaries rarely do it when they don't have money, Jim Renault, who is a frequent visitor to the Port of the Dead, is also very aware of this.

In the four years since the end of the Brood War, Reynolds' Rangers have been doing what mercenaries would do, earning military money to keep the organization running.

Essentially, the task of helping the Mobius Foundation to find the Sarnagar artifact is also equivalent to a mercenary mission.

Until he knew what those Sarnagar artifacts were, Jim Renaud didn't want to have anything to do with them.

There are actually quite a few mercenary organizations like the Rangers who have a clear banner against the Tyranid Empire, but most of the others are just slogans, and only Jim Reynolds is really going to fight Arcturus in the ring.

"Surveillance records show that it was the Angry Chief's Rice Shan who forced Hill to do this." Captain Matt seemed to remember something, and said with a sigh.

"Even if Hill is forced, those mercenaries are not so easy to be fooled." Jim Renaud knew very well that Hill, as the most famous mercenary broker in the Port of the Dead, relied on his face, not those mercenaries who listened to him.

At present, the most powerful mercenaries in the Port of the Dead are some of the remnants of the UED Expeditionary Force who were left behind in the Koplu Star District after the Battle of the Brood, or those elites who are dissatisfied with the treatment of the emperor.

These troops don't listen to anyone casually.

"To be precise, Captain Mishan is forcing all the mercenary groups." Knowing that Jim Reynolds would be this reaction, Captain Matt clicked on the bar video recording a few hours before.

I only saw a wine table, Mi Shan smiled enthusiastically, and said to the personal terminal in front of him:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting any of you, I mean, all of you are rubbish."

The video was short, but sufficient, for it once again convinced Jim Renaud that Mishan and the others were not mercenaries, and that the last mercenary who had dared to do so had been dragged away by Matt's wife, Mira Han, with a brick overturned.

(Matt: Sir, I state again, I'm not Mira Han's wife!) Oh no, not Mila Han's husband)

"And then?" Jim Renaud turned his slightly dazed gaze to Matt.

"They're on satellite three nearby." Matt Horner said, "The prisoner was there too. ”

"Of course, how can this kind of thing be without Tykes, prepare a transport ship for me, and I'll go and see it too." Jim Renaud said.

"With all due respect, Commander, this kind of thing is not for us to participate in." Captain Matt spoke up again.

"Tykes must have opened the market, will you come along?" Jim Renaud didn't take Matt's "outspokenness" seriously.

“…… I'll arrange it in a moment, Commander. Captain Matt thought for about five seconds, then decided to go down with his own head officer.

Ten minutes later, a special transport plane piloted by Captain Matt himself landed on Satellite 3 with Jim Renault on board.

This satellite is an ordinary rock satellite, with no atmosphere and no special landforms, which is very suitable as an area for armies to fight each other head-on.

Before the transport plane landed, Jim Reynaud noticed an unseen battlecruiser docked in orbit with the satellite.

Stylistically, it looks like the old Behemoth-class battlecruiser like Hyperion, but with some special DIY components, Jim Reynolds is sure that this is the first time he has seen this cruiser.

But I don't know why, looking at this strange cruiser, Jim Renaud always has a feeling that this ship is very familiar.

"That ship is the Scaled, the flagship of the Rage." Captain Matt, who noticed Jim Reno's confusion, explained.

For a mercenary group to have its own battlecruiser as its own flagship, it is a relatively normal situation in the Koplu Star Zone.

Some of the more powerful mercenary groups even have several battlecruisers, but most of them are second-hand third-hand or even a dozen near-scrapped items.

The Rangers' Hyperion, which had been stolen as Arcturus' flagship, was more than a fraction of the battlecruisers of the other mercenary regiments.

"I just feel familiar, as if I've seen this ship." Jim Renault said suspiciously.

Mi Shan, who was in a command center below, saw Jim Reynolds' transport plane landing on the satellite, and asked Mi Indica next to him, "Is there no problem?" ”

"Father, you have to believe that the engineers of the Human Revolutionary Federation, even if the builders of Busephalos came in person, they would not recognize this ship." Changed into a uniform similar to that worn by Matt Horner, which belonged to the uniform of the captain of the StarCraft World Battlecruiser, Mi Indica said.

That's right, this Behemoth-class battlecruiser, named "Scaly Dragon" by Rice Shan, is the flagship "Busephalos" captured from Prince Valenlian

Whether the ship's fate was "borrowed" by Prince Valenlian, as in the game, or if it was changed by Misr like it is now, to the extent that even its parents didn't know it.

Arcturus Mengsk, the founder of the StarCraft world Tyranid Empire, can't get rid of the setting of "the flagship will be lost 100%" in himself.

Tykes joins the cooperative mission to fight Ai Mengmeng together, and this time the Wings of Freedom is completely in vain
