Chapter 3: Departure

Maite. Horner made an indelible contribution to the logistical supply of the entire "Son of Keha" at the Battle of Tasanis, and he had recently learned the latest news of the Battle of Tasanis while resupplying the flagship "Hyperion" in Monsk. When he knew that Monsk had abandoned the entire Hardcore Force and Kellygan, he couldn't believe it was true.

Maite. Born into the family of a small businessman on Terrador IX, Horner's second son grew up longing to break out of the monotony and peace of life. On one occasion, he heard the story of an evil empire from an out-of-town merchant whose inhabitants, young and old, rose up in revolt and tried to overthrow the decaying and declining rule. The merchant is actually from the "Son of Keha", and he is actively recruiting new members. Matt happens to be the perfect fit: young, smart, idealistic, but most importantly, he's not comfortable with the boring life of the moment.

The "Son of Keha" took Maite and encouraged him to join the military training of the Federation fleet, and soon he became an excellent pilot, and after graduating with excellent grades, he left the Federation and officially joined the "Son of Keha", where he was soon recognized as one of the most intelligent, reliable, and driven lieutenants.

Matt never harms the innocent, and it is precisely because of this principle that he joined the "Son of Keha" in the first place. He couldn't help but feel sick when he learned that Monsk had left his former subordinates to fend for themselves in Tasanis. In his opinion, this revolution, led by the "Son of Keha", is nothing more than allowing the brutal Monsk to replace the previous Federation, and even more trouble.

When he learned that the Renault Rangers had rebelled because of this, he made a decision to become a follower of Renault, because he felt true justice, loyalty, and bravery from him, and he believed that the Rangers were the place where he could achieve his ideals. To this end, he began to secretly organize another mutiny. He and Renaud were not the only ones in the "Son of Keha" who were angry at Mengsk's actions, so he began to woo these people, and then came to his current form

Maite. Horner walked straight to the main console and said, "Take over the ship now!" The control zhì station prepares for the subspace jump. Immediately release the news that we are accusing the 'Hyperion'. ”

It is worthy of the young, intelligent and capable Matt. Horner, as his order was given, the bridge was soon taken into custody by his men, and Duke and his men were all placed under house arrest.

"Mait. Horner! What are you doing? "Edmund. Duke is like a cannibal. Matt looked at the other person calmly, a familiar face with a square chin, thick eyebrows, pointed head, and silver hair.

But I heard Frank's harsh words, "What's wrong with you pug?" Did you know about the mutiny? Haven't you done this before? ”

"Shut up, you stinking shit!" Edmund. Duke roared.

"Take them down!" Maite. Horner said.

"You can't do that!" Edmund was still growling, and the two Marines indifferently dragged him away from the main console.

The whole scene has been completely controlled by Horner. He then turned his gaze to Frank, who was still in communication. I saw him salute and say, "Sir! We're ready to leave Monsk, we're all willing to follow the Rangers, please let us follow you! Although Matt knew that the man on screen was smaller than himself, he was well aware of this man's abilities and had great respect for their rebellion against Monsk.

"Welcome aboard!" Frank laughed.

At this moment, another picture appeared on the main console, it was Renault, but he seemed a little excited. "I can't believe it, Horner! I didn't think you would make such a choice, I remember you followed Mengsk for a long time! ”

Matt: "So what? I really can't imagine that our leader is such a person, and what difference is his brutality from the Federation? ”

"Brutality is no longer enough to describe him. Do you know why we left in indignation? What you know is part of it, and the other part you would never think about is that he planted a ghost energy transmitter on the planet, and this qiē was all planned by him. Use the Zerg to destroy the Federation," Renault said with a sneer.

Maite. Horner was a little stunned when he heard this, "Oh my God! I always thought the Zerg were themselves! He actually managed to do it? Eight billion people died innocently."

"That's it! You two don't talk about these troublesome things, we're not out of danger yet! Frank reluctantly interrupted them.

Hear the words. Both of them were stunned, and immediately thought of their current situation.

Maite. Horner asked, "What are we going to do?" ”

At this time, Renault swept away the previous bad luck and said, "Maite! Your presence is so crucial. The most important thing is that you control the Hyperion and the old Duke guy. Saying this, Renault's eyes lit up and he said, "It seems that we have to meet the ugly face of Arcturus." ”

Hearing this, Frank and Horner both nodded in agreement, and Horner said: "Exactly what I thought, we now have enough leverage, and negotiating with Mengsk is obviously the best choice!" ”

"Connect him!" Frank said.

The mutiny on board the "Hyperion" has spread, and for a time the battlefield has entered a strong fire and is in a stalemate stage. Duke's detention made the "Son of Keha" feel helpless for a while, and he didn't know what to do. The news reached Arcturus as soon as possible. Mengsk there.

He had betrayed another promising young man from his side again, and no matter how calm Mengsk was, he couldn't help but want to roar, it was so hateful, and the enraged Arcturus wanted to tear them to pieces at once. But he held back because Edmund. Duke is still in their hands, and this person can't be fine.

In the end, Mengsk had to negotiate with them.

On the bridge of the battle cruiser "Hyperion".

"You've let me down so much, Matt!" After the image of Mengsk appeared, the first thing he focused on was the young Horner, and he said in disappointment.

"You've let me down, Commander! I always thought you could lead us humanity to a better future. But I found out I was wrong, and I was wrong. "Mait. Horner's tone was very regretful, even a little sad and helpless. The dream that he had been holding on to for many years had become shattered in the blink of an eye, which showed how hard it hit him. He joined the "Sons of Keha" because he believed that this organization could lead the people to overthrow the corrupt and incompetent federal government.

He continued, his tone becoming cold this time: "Lieutenant Kellygan and the Hardbones Troop have any reason for you to abandon it. And the eight billion people of Tassanis, don't you have a little humanity to speak of, or is the qiē you expressed before just a mask? Now that the goal has been achieved, has the true nature finally been revealed? What is the difference between the new regime you have established and the Federation with such brutality? Even more so."

"Enough! You're not qualified yet! Mengsk coldly interrupted him and said, "Say your terms!" ”

Matt saw his cold face and knew that this man was a tyrant, and there was no mercy or humanity in him.

"Duke and his command will give us the life of the warband, and we will get out of here safely." Renault said.

"Good!" Mengsk agreed without even thinking about it.

Then he said, "James. Renault! Don't think you'll get away with it, I'll destroy you soon, and it won't be too long. You wait. ”

Renault: "Always with you!" He turned off the communicator, and he didn't want to see that ugly face for a moment.

At this moment, the "Hyperion" battle cruiser and four other capital ships have converged, and it is clear that the "Hyperion" will not become the flagship of Mengsk.

The main guns on the platform were all recharged, and locked onto their five main battle cruisers, which were bound to be sunk at the slightest order. Not only that, but the fleet of the "Sons of Keha" has already arrived here and surrounded them. All laser crews locked on to these five battle cruisers, and they could be blasted to smithereens with a single command.

The artificial adjutant on the five battle cruisers successively sent reports: "Commander! The subspace jump is ready! ”

"Let go!" Frank said.

I saw a small transport ship slowly sailing out of the "Hyperion", and after a while, it moved away at high speed, but it was still locked by the laser cannon crew on the "Hyperion". All it takes is one command to blow up this transport.

Reynolds: "Everybody listen to me!" Jump! ”

I saw five white lights flickering almost at the same time, and the next moment, the five battle cruisers were stretched like noodles, and then disappeared.

The Rangers managed to leave Tasanis in this way. And took away five battle cruisers from Mengsk, including his flagship "Hyperion".

Soon, several squadrons began to go to meet Duke's transport ship.

Twenty minutes later. On the battle cruiser "Nord III".

Duke: "Leader! I"

In front of his eyes was a simulated image of Mengsk, and it has to be said that Mengsk has an excellent side of him, even if he is hit by betrayal one after another, he is still as usual. It is no accident that he has been able to achieve such an achievement, Acturs. Mengsk is regarded as a rebel hero, or a murderer, and in any case he fits the title of qiē that includes between these two extremes. But there was only one word that was never used for him, and that was "ordinary people."

"It's not your fault. Checkmate! I still have the confidence to distinguish between right and wrong. Mengsk said with a smile, and then began to speak loudly, "General! A new era has arrived, and we will be the founders of this new era."

Duke was shocked when he heard this, Mengsk's ambition was really not small, and it could be heard from his tone that the nascent regime turned out to be an autocratic dynasty? But is it possible?

"Leader! Our polity is," Duke said in an uncertain tone.

"Tyranid Dynasty!" Mengsk said without thinking.

"Just! The people probably will not support the imperial power. "Edmund. Duke said.

When Mengsk heard this, his eyes shot a sharp cold light, but he didn't look at anyone, only to see him say word by word: "Obedience is safety!" ”

Edmund. When Duke heard this, he immediately changed his tone: "Yes! My Honorable Emperor! ”
