StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Augustus's class was a full class, with a total of twelve people. In wartime, a fully integrated Terran Federation Marine Corps squad will have three fire teams of four, and more elite units will be equipped with manned shoulder-launched rockets and plasma flamethrowers to provide the necessary heavy firepower. Fire support serves as a powerful battlefield fulcrum.

At a time when military resources and medical personnel were abundant, the Federation Space Marine Corps Command believed that a standard Federation fire support squad should be equipped with an additional medic or professional medical personnel. However, during the Kailian War, this situation was quite rare.

I am Augustus Mengsk, and my hometown is Korhal IV, a garden like a fairyland in a dream. Augustus stretched out his hand and shook Reno's somewhat rough hand.

Welcome to my home in Korhal.

Unlike the rebel commander Jim Reno in Augustus' memory, this Reno was full of youthful vigor and energy, which was why he couldn't recognize him at first.

The beard and sideburns of Raynor in the game are neatly trimmed, and his forehead is full of knife-like forehead lines. He is weathered and wrinkled. At that time, Jim Raynor was the core of the Rangers.

Most of the time, Renault is always positive, but sometimes, depression and despair will occupy his heart.

Augustus wrote down the name of each person in his class along with their corresponding appearance and place of birth.

Four of these 11 people were of Korkha descent, two of whom had played cards with Augustus on the transport ship Dove of Peace, and the other two were his high school classmates. This should of course be attributed to Augustus's consistent good luck. A prominent family background is undoubtedly crucial for travelers.

There is no need to confront me. The recruit sergeant is not a dormitory administrator, and I will not use military rules and discipline to restrict your freedom. Then Augustus looked at Hanak Hank who looked like he was causing trouble before. .

I am Augustus Mengsk. I am only responsible for leading the second platoon and the first class to win in all training subjects during the twelve weeks of the boot camp. If necessary, I will lead you to kick the instructor's ass hard. .”

Everyone unconsciously looked at Augustus, shocked by his confidence. Obviously, this Mengsk is someone who knows exactly what he wants and what he should do, and will put it into practice without hesitation.

Then, under the slightly awed gaze of all the recruits, Augustus skillfully took out several decks of playing cards from his backpack.

It's still early, do you want to play cards?

To everyone's expectation, after hearing these words, Hanak Hank, who was always aggressive and wanted to start a fight, completely forgot what he had said and jumped up immediately.

Yeah! I like playing cards!

...

The card game lasted until nearly twelve o'clock. Harnack, who was penniless and had lost all his clothes, had already lost his third pair of underwear and was clutching the last pair in his hands. Reno and Augustus each had a pair of lace pants in front of them.

Young people from all the main star worlds and colonies of the Federation were sitting on beds and chairs playing cards. The dormitory of Class 2 and Class 1 was filled with cheers, boos and Harnak's wails.

It's not that Augustus and Reno were very good at cards, it was just that Harnack's cards were always terrible, and he was an unlucky man.

Harnak soon lost the pair of underwear he had on hand, so he unbuckled his belt and prepared to take off the pair he was wearing.

For the first time, a look of horror appeared on Renault's face. Augustus's expression was unprecedentedly solemn. He immediately stood up and tried to stop the red-haired recruit who was taking off his pants.

But at this moment, the seemingly indestructible platinum steel wall behind him suddenly burst open, and a group of human soldiers wearing dark black armor and holding electromagnetic rifles rushed in, raising their guns and pointing them at the confused people. The new recruits.

Hey! Hanak lifted up his underwear in horror, even so, half of his buttocks was still exposed.

What are you looking at! You perverts!

Compared with Hanak, the reactions of other people were more normal. Most people were so scared that they collapsed on the ground or stood stunned, like frozen hairtails. Others instinctively lay on the ground to find cover. .

Although he was really startled, Augustus still sat with his expression unchanged. At the first moment, Augustus recognized the guild badge on these black-armored soldiers - Tovey Industries, a dark green ring with a six-pointed star symbol engraved in the center.

This is the Kaimorian Ripper unit, composed of the strongest and bravest warriors in the union. Its position on the battlefield is equivalent to the most ordinary marines in the Federation Marine Corps. It is the most solid union group army. Cornerstone.

It was simply a fantasy that they could appear in the boot camp at this time. As far as Augustus knew, the Tulasis Main Base where he was located was one of the strongest military fortresses in the Tyranid Federation. Home to the largest known underground airport on the planet.

In addition to the recruits and engineering corps, there are also two main battalions and a Gloria armed robot company stationed inside the fortress. Tens of thousands of engineers, mechanics and other logistics personnel maintain the operation of this huge fortress.

If Kemerian wants to capture this fortress, he must mobilize at least the main division-level troops and a large number of artillery regiments, armored brigades, and air forces to cooperate with the attack, and the mobilization of forces on this scale cannot be silent.

To put it bluntly, even if the commander of Kaimorian uses unpredictable means to allow his troops to evade orbiting probes, thermal imaging sensors, ground vibration sensors, as well as scouts and outposts, when the real fight begins , the main force of the Federation that they fought against was also the main force on the periphery of the fortress, and could not be the recruit training camp at the center.

The most obvious loophole is the way they appear. It is absolutely impossible to smash the wall of Presteel with a single soldier's electromagnetic gun. Not to mention, the opposite side of the wall was actually the second class dormitory right next to them, and when Augustus looked out through the crack in the wall, he only saw a bright red desert.

This is a holographic projection, guys. Augustus said calmly to the panicked recruits almost at the same time that the Kaimorian Ripper appeared.

Highly realistic holographic projections are expensive luxuries among the civilian class, but in the Mengsk family, they are just a common part of daily life.

Augustus' intuition told him that when something is so absurd that it is completely contrary to reality, then he must construct the truth himself through known clues.

Everyone sit down and let's continue playing cards.

These two sentences immediately calmed down the recruits in the class. At this time, most of them had not been able to react, but at this moment they had the illusion that Augustus was definitely not wrong.

As soon as he finished speaking, the muzzle of the union-standard electromagnetic rifle in the hands of the Camorian soldiers emitted ice-blue flames. Augustus seemed to be able to feel the bullet passing through his chest, but this was obviously not true.

Recruit Tom O'Mo was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. Hanak turned his head and looked at him, as if to see if he was so scared that he wet his pants.

After that, these Kemorian soldiers did not continue to shoot, but suddenly turned into black data points and condensed into a uniformed non-commissioned officer. This noncommissioned officer's face may have been deliberately synthesized by artificial intelligence. It is ordinary and featureless.

I am Mechanical Sergeant Tavis. Starting today, I will help you train. Remember, the enemy will appear in front of you at any time and anywhere. Even at the rear base, you must always remain vigilant. That The holographic projection portrait said.

Don't let me catch you, you piece of shit! Hanak looked at him and made an undisguised gesture of disdain. Then he himself felt that it was not enough, and made another middle finger - from the earth A “cultural heritage” that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Recruit Hanak Hank, your name has been recorded by the Central Security Bureau. This is the first warning. You should maintain due respect for your superiors. The face of the holographic projection was expressionless in every sense of the word. Face said.

Careful, Renault, they must have installed such advanced projectors in every corner. Augustus looked at Jim Renault who was sitting next to him when Hanak cursed in a low voice: This must have cost the taxpayers A lot of money.”

I'm sure my farm also has a share of this money. Renault chuckled.
