StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

July 25th at 14:00.

Augustus wore a white double-layered silk parka that reached his knees and was clearing the snow at the entrance of Supply Station No. 7. Next to him was Renault, who was similarly dressed. A circle of fluff was embedded on the edge of the hood of the coat to keep him going. Constant sneezing.

On this day, Howe Fortress was as lively as ever. Every few minutes, an army bus full of workers or a huge space engineering construction vehicle drove past the supply depot, rushing to repair the damage caused by the Hygo Dragon Legion. defense facilities and buildings, or fill in the roads full of bomb craters, and find all the wreckage of tanks and corpses of marines.

Knowing that they could not defend the fortress, the Seagoron Legion wreaked havoc, which forced the workers to work for another week to repair the fortress.

Most of these workers came from the two small towns surrounding Fortress Howe and the nearest city, and the Marines who made great contributions to guarding the fortress got a few days of rare leave. Therefore, the idle soldiers either played cards all day in the barracks dormitory, or went to the bar district near the fortress to indulge themselves.

Only one of Augustus's men was injured in this battle. The unlucky man was Harnak, who suffered burns on his hands due to his careless use of the hellfire flamethrower.

In the fortress that afternoon, the wind was freezing. At 15:00, Augustus and Renault put down their brooms and boarded a fortress bus leading to the command center. Warfield had just opened Augustus' personal terminal and asked them to go to the command center to find him.

Along the way, Augustus saw many workers laying lines and repairing roads. On the night of the 18th, Fortress Howe suffered heavy losses, and the military had to recruit additional workers.

There was still an engineering battalion in the fortress at that time, but only a few people survived the catastrophe. Under Vanderspu's order, all civilian personnel, engineers and mechanics were forced to take up arms. But they only delayed the attack speed of Hai Gelong Legion.

When the bus arrived at the entrance of the command center, Augustus discovered that the soldiers standing guard had been replaced by two marines from the third platoon of the first company. On seeing Augustus, they immediately saluted him to show their respect.

Does that guy Vanderspup want to catch up with us? On the way to the top of the command center, Renault was in a pretty good mood. In nearly a month, he finally got over the haze of losing Tom Ormo.

For a few days, Renault learned to drink to drown his sorrows, and Augustus ordered everyone to supervise Renaud and not allow him to drink excessively. For this reason, the two had a small conflict, but Renault soon regretted this and decided not to let decadence swallow him up easily in the future.

Then we have to go to the prison to find him. Augustus also smiled.

In the command center, Augustus didn't even see a few marines or civilian personnel, which can also explain why Warfield had to do everything personally.

Vanderspup's office is now Warfield.

Have you been promoted? As soon as he entered, Augustus noticed the rank badge worn by Warfield: Major Warfield.

Yes, this is just a natural thing. I should have got this golden flower. Most of the time, Warfield is a serious person, but in normal times, he doesn't mind talking to himself in private. The subordinates were joking.

So, this fortress is now under your control? Augustus and Renault sat down on the fur sofa in the office: Where is that arrogant Major Duke.

Edmund has returned to his fleet in synchronous orbit. The people of the Seagoron Legion have long since escaped, but he thinks he has won the battle and is still complacent. Warfield said: Well, Howie The fort is in my charge for now - until they send another lieutenant colonel to take my place.

Then that shows what they found out. I want to know what Vanderspup thinks? Augustus asked.

He is completely asking for trouble. Warfield shook his head and said, He recruited all the federal 'secret police' using only a few tricks.

The arms warehouse of Fortress Howe is filled with the most expensive batch of arms in the entire northern hemisphere war zone. The upgrade parts of weapons and power armor alone are worth eight million credit coins. This amount of money is enough for Vanderspup to fly in some remote colonies. He will live out the rest of his life comfortably, but he is not sure he could steal a documented batch of military supplies without anyone noticing.

So he found the Kaimorians? Renault said: If this batch of supplies was stolen, no one will know its origin.

Vanderspup's abacus was very good: in his plan, the Seagoron Army will send an assault team of about 200 people to attack the Howe Fortress with his support. They must attack the Howe Fortress in the shortest possible time. Transferred a batch of military supplies. Finally, he led the federal troops to 'drive them out'.

The abacus was good. Augustus smiled: Then he made a wrong calculation on that step.

The Camorians won't give him any credit. They sent two elite assault teams and an Ice Rangers. Warfield: They want to evacuate the entire Howe Fortress, and take Vander by the way. Go and claim the reward on Si Pu’s head.”

When things got completely out of Vanderspu's control, he knew he was finished, he said.

But as long as Vanderspu transports a truck full of CMC-300 reactor cores to a private airport built by smugglers and gangsters, he can make a fortune.

This means that our contribution is actually much greater than we imagined? Renault asked.

This is why I came to you. Warfield said, You have made great contributions.

Can I also be an official? Reno seemed very happy. He didn't know what merit he had made. Most of the time, he obeyed Augustus's orders.

Now you are a lance sergeant, responsible for commanding the first squad. Warfield said: As for Augustus, he has been promoted to staff sergeant. At the same time, he will also receive a Silver Cross and a Navy Marine Corps Anchor Badge of Honor.”

As he spoke, Warfield opened the drawer of his desk and accurately threw a few badges into the hands of Augustus and Renault: Manpower is tight, so the investiture ceremony will be omitted.

The First Company suffered heavy losses. Except for the third platoon, the establishment of the other three platoons was almost cancelled. At this point, Warfield showed a somewhat sad look on his face: The new batch of recruits arrived yesterday. Just arrived at the fortress. Now, I need Reagan to command the first platoon, and the third platoon will be temporarily left to Augustus to command.

After you are promoted to lieutenant, I will transfer you to another platoon.

The third row is very good. Augustus put the badge away: Why are the soldiers replenished so quickly this time?

Because most of them are resocialized soldiers. Warfield said: I heard that resocialization factories are being built in full swing on many planets within the Federation territory.

Soon, there won't be enough criminals.
