Chapter 20: Infiltration

"Keha-IV.", on the eve of the UED offensive.

The main force of the United Earth Council is in full swing towards the Keha system, but the unresponsive Tyranid Empire has apparently not yet realized that the news is imminent. And Frank, who is in the imperial capital, has begun to prepare to infiltrate the Augusto palace to steal information.

At this moment, Frank was in a high-rise building on the periphery of the palace, he looked down on the entire perimeter of the palace, which was several times more heavily fortified than he had imagined, and he even saw a lot of ghost agents in it. Seeing such a tight defense, he immediately gave up his plan to infiltrate the palace by stealth means, the entire palace was so tightly guarded that not even a single unauthorized insect could fly in, even if it was stealth, once it entered the core defense point, it would be illuminated, and Frank would never doubt this.

He could imagine that if he did so, he would be exposed to the perimeter before entering the palace gates, and then be ruthlessly set up by the defenders, and even Frank could not be sure that he would escape in the face of such a tight defense.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to enter the palace.

I saw him standing in the dark corner of the building, but his body looked lifeless, and he couldn't feel any breath of life in the dark corner, and Frank's figure loomed, and with a touch of fresh wind, his figure was blown to pieces.

It was nothing more than an afterimage of him in physical phenomena, and the real Frank had entered the palace in the last few seconds. Mastering the skill of "mirror displacement", the tight defense of the Imperial Palace is useless, and Frank enters the palace without causing any abnormal movements, without any alarm, as if nothing has happened, and everyone and every device in the palace is routinely operating normally

Imperial War Conference.

"The latest briefing from the front."

"The fighting on the Antiga front has subsided, we have lost the Antiga system, and Admiral Duke is leading the Imperial Royal Guard to defend against the invaders. However, it still failed to stop the pace of the Earth Expeditionary Force's attack, and the Admiral reluctantly led his defeated subordinates and local defenders to fully evacuate the main planet of Antiga, and there was no contact for the time being. ”

"Earth Expeditionary Force?"

"Intelligence shows that the invaders are fighting in the Kpru Star Sector in the name of the United Earth Council, and are waging an all-out war against the Empire in the name of taking over the Star Sector, without declaring war."

"Earth? Oh~~ I almost forgot that human beings originated from the earth, and our colonial world has nothing to do with the earth, what are they going to do? ”

"Conquest!"

"Ladies and gentlemen." This calm, deep voice seemed to have a natural majesty, and its appearance brought the voices of the meeting to an abrupt end. One by one, their eyes focused on the source of the sound.

Imperial Führer Arcturus. Mengsk the Great, his opening made all the people in the war council look at him, the founder of the Tyranid dynasty, the first emperor of the empire glanced at the high-ranking people in the war council led by Warfield, "Now that the empire has been established, we have ushered in a new era, our dynasty must not only rely on power and iron hand, but the dynasty of thousands of years must also be maintained by the noble elegance of art and the unfathomable profundity of science. ”

Everyone in the meeting listened silently to Monsk's own words, and everyone here knew very well the emperor they admired. They could all clearly feel that their emperor's words were hidden under the smiling face of the evil intention to take people's lives without hesitation, and to describe it in the words of blood, as he said, - iron and blood, the ruins of Tasanis are still vivid. Only an informed figure like Duke knew that the innocent deaths of those eight billion people had a lot to do with their leaders.

Winners are never clean, and anyone who can do it knows that.

"The empire was first established, and now the major stars are stabilizing, but a new threat is looming. How do we respond to an expeditionary force from Earth?"

The war ended abruptly after less than an hour, although Mengsk did not express any displeasure. But beneath that calm face was a deep anger. At that moment, how he wished Duke was right in front of him, with Edmund. Duke, by contrast, even wanted to lash out at the incompetent people in the conference room, and for nearly an hour or so none of the plans satisfied Mengsk, even though his dissatisfaction with the status quo was well disguised.

However, to Mengsk's great satisfaction, this group of people, although they seem incompetent in his eyes, are still very good, and they all have one of the greatest strengths, and Mengsk's favorite, that is, unwavering supporters of the Empire, his supporters. That's enough, one or two great strategists like Duke are enough in the Empire, Duke and himself. Too many great subordinates can make him feel uneasy

The interior of the Augusto Palace does not feel any ultra-modern technology, this palace is more like a castle in the Middle Ages, the passages and the carved textures on the walls all show a retro charm, the elegant warm color lamps illuminate the corridors, the quiet atmosphere and the not bright environment in the palace even give people a breath of invisible oppression, as long as you enter the palace, you can feel the majesty of the face, which makes ordinary people feel awe without thinking.

The impromptu war meeting did not produce the desired results, and he returned to his office with a sullen look, at a time when no one would offend the mood of the Emperor, and those who were attentive would find that discontent and anger were hidden under his unwavering countenance.

Along the way, there was only the sound of orderly steps on the floor, when the door valve opened by itself, the emperor paused in front of the door, and his original unwavering face was silent, he stopped in front of the door and frowned, when the sound of the door's air valve disappeared, the background sound of light music came from the quiet surroundings, and the source of the sound was from the office.

Monsk's brow tightened, he didn't seem to remember that he had a hobby of listening to this style of music, or that the retro disc jukebox in his office had never been turned on.

Although there are some doubts in his heart, he may also have forgotten, you must know that he has always been busy at the beginning of the empire, old Mengsk resolutely walked in, this is the Augusto Imperial Palace, if it is not safe here, then the whole universe will have no place, thinking about it suddenly dawned.
