Chapter 16: Augustograd

Perhaps, outsiders should come to "Keha IV" in person to completely change their perception of this planet, and Frank, who has stepped into Keha IV again, knows this very well, he vaguely remembers the last time he joined the "Children of Keha", this planet is far from being as prosperous as it is today, and in fact, how long has it been?

The city on "Keha IV" is not like the old Federation era of Tassanis, with towers thousands of meters high on the surface, and the tallest building on the planet has never exceeded a thousand meters. With the alien creatures in the universe coming into the human eye, people have given up on the idea of building towering buildings, and in the face of nightmarish flying insects in the sky, people are obviously more secure about the ground, and if there is a builder to build a super skyscraper, then he will inevitably lose all his money.

In addition to the reason for the bugs, there is another crucial factor in the absence of supertall buildings on the "Keha IV", which is that the amount of radiation in the upper atmosphere is much stronger than that on the ground, and this is not an ethereal threat of bugs, but the fact that it actually exists above their heads.

Frank walked alone on the "Augustograd Royal Square", probably the largest square he had ever seen, with a crowd of pedestrians, surrounded by buildings up to twenty stories high, with six main roads and fifteen small junctions leading to the square.

Frank was in the middle of it, and no one would know that one of them, a seemingly inconspicuous passerby, would be one of the most powerful ghost agents in all of humanity.

In the largest square in the whole star area, the most striking thing on the empty field is undoubtedly the huge statue that is almost completed, and Frank, who is three thousand meters away, looks at the head of the sculpture, and the face is somewhat like that of Actulus. Mengsk, he's not too sure, it could be Arcturus or his father Augustus, as a councilor of the old federation of Keha, Augustus's reputation was spread far and wide on this planet. The councillor was held in high esteem, and many resented him after his assassination.

The statue is 128 meters tall and towers above the square, where he stands like a god looking down on everything in the world, which in Frank's view is precisely a symbol of power, and the buildings around the statue are like the people under Mengsk, who looks down on all beings from above.

But for Frank, what impressed him the most was another thing. Something that hasn't happened before, but it's very likely. He couldn't help but think of the scene in his mind, the Blade Empress Carey and her endless swarm of insects pouring into Keha IV on that day, which was also the end of Mengsk, and the last of the resistance of the Tyranid Empire gathered under the Royal Square, in front of the 128-meter-tall sculpture.

Endless swarms of insects poured in from all sides of the Royal Square, flying insects and airdrop bags poured down from the sky, and the tunnels under the ground almost hollowed out Augustograd, and Mengsk's last resistance came to an end with the collapse of the most striking sculpture, and he could not forget the figure standing on the collapsed sculpture. The impression is so profound.

Frank's gaze moved to the other end, and the object he was looking for was very striking, and in the distance behind the sculpture, the most extensive building was in the column, the Augustograd Palace.

The pyramid-like structure is undoubtedly a symbol of power. Everyone who saw this building knew that at the top of the pyramid lived the most powerful and undisputed figure in the entire empire, Actulus. Mengsk the Great, Emperor of the Tyranid Dynasty.

Frank's gaze stared at the top of the imperial capital, his eyes as if to penetrate the space, through the thick palace buildings, and look directly at Monsk. His gaze locked on the palace. While walking towards it with a steady pace. Perhaps it was his eyes so focused on the palace that he didn't notice the pedestrians on the road, and his right shoulder accidentally bumped into a stranger.

The moment he was hit in the right shoulder brought him back to his senses. At the moment when the two sides passed by, the afterglow of the two eyes squinted at each other, and the two eyes converged on the same line at that moment. Frank continued to move at the same pace, he remained silent, he never apologized to him or asked him for an apology, he remained indifferent to the affairs of the outside world.

Frank was still walking, but the man stopped, it was a black man, his black hair braided into braids like a broken thorn spine draped over his head, his eyes were white, as if they had no pupils, and they were terrifying when they were opened.

His name is Gabriel. Tosh, a powerful ghost agent.

When Frank saw Tosh's face, although he didn't have any emotions on the surface, he was surprised inside, and he recognized it at first glance, as the leading brother of the "Ghost Order" who would rebel against Monsk in the future, the famous Gabriel. Tosh, how could he not know. He was slightly glad that the other party didn't know him, but now Tosh was serving Mengsk, and as for why he rebelled against the Empire, no one but himself knew why, and Frank didn't have any interest in it.

Tosh stood in place, staring at the figure in the distance, the passing of the house just now made him think, there was nothing suspicious about the back of the road in front of him that was gradually moving away, he was just like the other passers-by who walked silently and alone in the square, the difference was that he and he only had an unexpected brief contact, but Tosh always felt that there was something wrong with this person.

"You go first!" Tosh spoke to a few of his ghost agents in civilian clothes.

He quickly followed, Tosh had always been extremely confident in his instincts, even unbelievable, if he had to choose between the cold data displayed by the instrument and his intuition, Tosh would not hesitate to choose the latter, he was such a person, and in fact his instincts never deceived him, not even once.

Apparently, Frank retouched his portrait, otherwise Tosh couldn't have been unrecognizable to him, Frank. Hiss's name, facial features, and even DNA genetic information are all exposed, and as long as there is a little power in the Empire, even civilians who often follow the Empire's movements know that there are two most wanted criminals who have always been at the top of the Empire's highest bounty list, and Frank is second only to the Ranger leader Renault.

Frank kept moving at a steady pace, but he could already sense the shadow behind him, and a pair of eyes from the darkness were always locked on his back. It was so intense for him with a keen sense of smell, but he didn't panic, on the contrary, the corners of his mouth showed a slight upward arc. The speed that had been unchanged suddenly accelerated, and Tosh suddenly quickened his pace when he saw it, and the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger, and his intuition became stronger and stronger, and he told himself that there was something wrong with this person, something big.

Frank finally reached the end of the square, and in front of him was a dense complex of buildings, which led in all directions, and he did not hesitate to penetrate the complex......

At the same time, the Antiga front.

With the death of Colonel Bell in the Imperial Air Force in space, the air power that hindered the UED Transport Group was completely eliminated, and the ground forces successfully completed the forced landing, and nearly 2,700 ground troops composed of infantry mobile units and infantry mechanized units were responsible for covering the pilots who had stolen the battle cruisers to arrive at the dock.

The ground defenses laid out on the dockyard were completely destroyed by nuclear bombs, and the rushed Imperial troops were not only outnumbered but also did not set up temporary defensive base stations in time, and the UED army crushed them all the way.

Both sides were trying to get the battle cruisers docked at the dock as fast as they could.

Just after the UED side stole nearly two-thirds of the dockyard's battle cruisers, a violent jump signal appeared on the battlefield, and immediately after, a fleet arrived here.

The "Alpha Fleet" arrived in a successful jump.

"Who's messing around here?"

Duke, who was on the flagship of the Alpha fleet, the Nord III, immediately sent an audio signal to the enemy. Meanwhile, Duke's fleet sailed to the dockyard and ordered the first assault on the stealers.

Bridge of the "Alexander".

"Oh! It must have been the so-called Imperial reinforcements mentioned by Lieutenant Duran. When Duggall received the signal from Nord III, he looked sideways at his old partner Stukov with a smile.

"Captain!" Dugger immediately contacted the commander in the dockyard, "Prepare our new fleet, destroy them with their warships, and prepare to fight them to the death!" ”
