Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Escapers

But Mengsk is not without resistance, the nuclear bomb launch cluster on the ground is in full swing, as Stukov said, in order to resist the expeditionary force, Mengsk will not hesitate to let Keha fall into a nuclear crisis again, only to see countless nuclear warheads into the trajectory, straight to the major outposts of the UED.

"Prepare to intercept!"

Hundreds of nuclear bombs poured into the trajectory, and although the UED tried almost all their best to intercept these nuclear bombs, there were still many outposts destroyed by nuclear bombs, but fortunately, they already knew that Mengsk would obstruct it at any cost, and a large number of forward bases were scattered.

But even so, UED's troops will not stop the pace of attack.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! ”

The commander of the ground forces of an expeditionary force shouted hysterically, and the ground troops were assembled and were heading to the front line as fast as possible, that is, the imperial capital of Augustograd. The Commander's gaze was cast into the sky behind him, and a skyrocketing mushroom cloud appeared in shock, and in that large rear was their forward base. He just glanced at it, then resolutely turned and followed the tide of the army.

Imperial capital of Augustograd.

Mengsk sat on the throne without saying a word, and the mountains of front-line battle reports listed in front of him were almost all bad news, and no one knew what the emperor was thinking at the moment.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Edmund. Admiral Duke sent a request for communication. "In the quiet and spacious office, the voice of artificial intelligence sounds.

"Your Majesty the Emperor." Duke saw Monsk, who was silent, and saluted respectfully.

"Duke! Are we defeated? Mengsk looked at the admiral in the picture and said suddenly.

Duke was silent, both of them were well aware of the fact that the Imperial army, which had been defeated in the face of the expeditionary force, had now arrived at Keha at lightning speed, and that Keha was now about to fall.

"My Honorable Imperial Majesty. Compared to the 'Sons of Keha', our existing power is too strong, but the Federation is still destroyed, and it has become a stepping stone to the top of the Empire. Duggall said: "The current defeat is only temporary, as long as the green mountains are left without worrying about the lack of firewood, one day the empire will fight back, just like the destruction of the Federation, in my eyes, Duggal is just entering the star sector as an upstart, and his biggest weakness is arrogance." One day he will die at this, I am convinced of that. ”

Mengsk chose to remain silent, and although Duke did not speak out, the other party's words made it obvious that he chose to escape. The silent Emperor was in pain, unwilling to leave behind the empire he had built, and even decided to live and die with it.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, it's not like we're out of a place to turn over, and I think it's incredibly easy to defeat Dugle." Seeing that Monsk was unmoved, Duke suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Mengsk's eyes lit up. Stared intently at the admiral.

At this moment, Edmund's face was dense with a fierce light, with bloodlust and coldness, "His Majesty the Emperor is forgetful. Remember how the Commonwealth fell? We just need to let the Federal's script repeat itself on this nouveau riche! ”

Mengsk stood upright from his throne with a "whoosh", and he stared at Edmund in silence, and for a long time, the emperor's frustration suddenly disappeared. He laughed insolently, then looked at Duke: "Admiral! Preserve the Empire's vital forces as much as possible and prepare for the withdrawal. You're right. We didn't lose, the final victory is ours! ”

Edmund smiled, and he nodded slightly, "The 'Nord Three' will personally come to meet His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Bridge of the "Alexander".

"General!" Stukov appeared on the flagship, and he said with a happy face: "This is the latest newsletter, the Imperial forces have shown a rout, and the battle is expected to end in an hour." ”

With a faint smile, Duggall naturally took out a Cuban cigarette and lit it for himself, "In the end, the Tyranid Dynasty will succumb to the incomparably powerful force of the expeditionary force, and it seems that our second strategic plan will also be put on the agenda." ”

"That's true." Stukov smiled and nodded.

When the two were talking leisurely, another text message came to the bridge, Stukov skillfully opened it, and after looking at it, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at Duggall with a smile, "Ha~ General!" You must be interested in this news. ”

"Oh?" Dougall looked at him curiously.

"Our reconnaissance team tracked down a flagship of the Royal Guard of the Tyranid Empire in low-altitude orbit, Edmund Brown. Duke's 'Nord III', intelligence pointed out that this flagship rushed to the imperial capital of Keha, and it seems that the Emperor Mengsk wanted to escape! Stukov added: "Not only that, but a large number of Imperial troops chose to abandon resistance and fled in a hurry. ”

"Mengsk takes it for granted." Duggall sneered, "Even if you go through the entire galaxy, you have to arrest him." ”

"Signal Receiving"

The unfamiliar band intervention caused the two to look at each other, and then the two eyes fixed on the podium.

A frequency band immediately jumped out of the video message, and Duggall was stunned for a moment, looking at the person in the projection, "Mengsk? ”

"I am Arcturus, Emperor of the Tyranid Dynasty. Mengsk I the Great, which of you is Dugal? Mengsk in the video said calmly.

"Oh! Who should I be? Duggall puffed out a puff of smoke and looked at the projection in the video, "It turned out to be Arcturus. Mengsk, you escaper? Emperor I of the Empire, the name is loud enough, but it doesn't seem to match the facts, and the title of Mengsk the Escaper is more suitable for you. ”

Duggall extinguished the ashes, fiddled with his clothes, and after thinking that he was official, he looked at the other party again, and said, "I also hope that I have always wanted to be able to talk to you before the end of the expeditionary force's mission, just in time!" I'm Gerald. Admiral Dugle, Supreme Commander of the United Earth Council Expeditionary Force. I must praise you, Mengsk. I didn't expect you to resist our troops for so long, and you are indeed a respectable opponent. ”

However, this was a kind of ironic retort to Mengsk's ears, but such a sarcasm obviously did no harm to the old Mengsk, "Then I need to thank you for your praise." Mengsk smiled self-deprecatingly, his gaze flickered, and he stared coldly, "Actually, but you have to know that your victory here is insignificant to me. You may be able to stop me for a while, but I will eventually be able to overcome this series of obstacles, just as I destroyed the Old Federation, and I will get rid of you as well as I destroyed the Old Federation. ”

"That's almost impossible, keep it in your head as a thought and use it once in a while, Mengsk." Duggall was unimpressed and glanced at him, "You and your other officers will soon be publicly executed. ”

"You don't have that kind of courage and ability." Mengsk looked directly at him.

"Hah!" Dougall suddenly smiled, then abruptly stopped, ignoring the other party, "How dare a man who keeps the crown on his head and then claims to be the emperor dare to talk to me about courage? Don't forget that you are an escapist now"
