"Your family has been brought to shame because of you, Governor Richard. Look what stupid things you have done. Your people wore the latest power armor and used Confederate Marine vehicles, but in the end they were taken."

The rebels, who were armed with burning fire sticks and driving motorcycles, were defeated steadily, and in less than a week, they lost most of Ma Sara.

"There is no cure, it is a complete failure."

Edmund Duke and Governor Mar Sara have obviously known each other for a long time, and their friendship can be traced back to the youth of these two nobles. Of course, this does not affect their dislike for each other in any way.

"The territory of the Federation covers the entire Koprulu Sector, but in the end the Council sent pigs, donkeys and scale insects to manage a colony just because they are nobles."

Duke held his head high, arrogantly, and looked down at the tearful face of Governor Mar Sara. Because he knew that Richard could no longer keep his position, and the Lyon family behind him would come to thank Du.

The Grams retained their property in Mar Sara.

When the nobles hear about the suffering of the people at the bottom, they will probably squeeze out a few tears because of their praised compassion, but when their own life and death are at stake, they are often unable to hold back the tears.

When selecting successors, the founding families of Tarsonis require them to have outstanding abilities that can inherit their family's power, but they cannot always require every family member to be outstanding enough.

"Colonel..." Behind Governor Mar Sara is a nickel-plated alloy wall, and on the right is a heavy lead door with rivets. Standing next to him are fully armed soldiers instead of his suit and leather shoes.

staff and drunken staff.

This shows that the Governor is hiding in the underground shelter of the Governor's Palace at this moment. At this moment, artillery fire is raging all over Ma Sala, but the secret room is covered with expensive silk carpets, decorated with gold and silver utensils, and jewels.

"We are about to be unable to withstand it. The rebel fighter planes are bombing our positions indiscriminately. Once Augustus Mengsk's men launch a general attack, we will be completely finished." The governor stopped crying as fast as

He burst into tears as fast as he burst into tears.

"How many are there?" Duke looked like a dangerous and venomous snake when he narrowed his triangular eyes.

"At least two hundred thousand people." The governor's sausage-like thick lips trembled.

"Unmanned reconnaissance drones photographed the insignias of at least ten divisions of the rebels. They also have a large number of armored units and mobile units. They are not a group of armed Korhal 4 farmers at all, but a real army."

"Nonsense." Although Duke didn't believe what Governor Mar Sara said at all, it was still used as evidence. Duke estimated that there should be about five to five rebels on the surface of Mar Sara.

About 100,000.

"It is impossible for the rebels to have so many people." Duke said, "Unless all the locals have joined the rebels, but your people should not be unaware of this."

Considering that the rebels have a certain amount of CMC powered armor, they cannot be treated as ordinary rebels. Usually, only a federal marine force of about two hundred people can easily quell the rebellion in a city. A battalion can easily quell the rebellion in a city.

Marines are enough to defend a fringe colony.

Ever since Angus Mengsk and his ambitious sons started the rebellion, rebellions in a region are no longer something that the region's Marines can easily suppress.

"Colonel Duke, no matter what, let your Alpha Squadron land in Mar Sara." Governor Mar Sara gradually lost his patience. He was worried that Duke would stand by and watch the capital area fall.

"Otherwise you are at least half responsible for the fall of Mar Sara, and I will truthfully report your indifferent behavior of standing by and watching."

"Richard, I always say you are an imbecile, and that's right." Duke's arrogance reached its peak: "The fox has fallen into the hunter's trap, and now he threatens those who are ready to help him.

."

"You poisonous snake, Mar Sara is about to fall, and you are still yelling here!" Governor Mar Sara became angry.

"Then let me see who is responsible for this." Duke said and ordered the adjutant to close the communication connection.

Amidst the governor's hysterical roar, Duke began to think calmly, and a new combat plan was being conceived in his sharp-edged head. Alpha Squadron carried many small tactical nuclear bombs with a yield of 20 million, enough to level a whole building.

The medium-sized city reduced an area of ​​about thirty square miles to scorched earth.

However, according to the image of the southern hemisphere capital area taken by the Mar Sara orbiting satellite on the main screen of the Norad 3 bridge, it can be found that the rebel positions have overlapped with the Governor's Planetary Defense Force and organized militia forces.

It looks like tree roots entwined together.

Orbital bombing will inevitably cause accidental damage, and precise targeted strikes cannot destroy the constantly moving rebels. To regain Mar Sara, Duke must send his Alpha Squadron to descend to low-Earth orbit on a landing craft and defeat Ogu.

Rebels in Stuttgart.

The complete destruction of the entire Capital District meant that Duke had to bear moral condemnation. He had to be responsible for the deaths of nearly half a million Masala civilians and tens of thousands of federal soldiers in the Capital District - even though Duke didn't care at all.

After all, Duke can find 10,000 reasons to excuse himself without being sent to a military court. For example, the brutal rebels released a terrible virus in the capital area, everyone has been infected, and Alpha Squadron had to decontaminate

This infected land.

But at least for now, Duke does not have the authority to activate nuclear weapons at will. Duke is actually not very happy to earn a reputation as a butcher for himself. Killing civilians will bring more troubles to his already bumpy road to promotion.

Troublesome, and in many cases he prefers to charge into battle himself to prove his courage.

"Adjutant, in addition to those battlecruisers, are there other rebel fleets in the Sara system?" At this time, Duke looked at the orange-brown Mar Sara star outside the bridge window. The tower six months ago

During the Battle of Sannis, there were twenty-six recorded rebel warships, and fourteen more were able to successfully jump away in the end.

This is extremely inconsistent with the number of rebel warships in the Sara system, unless the rebel fleet has been dispersed into several relatively small fleets.

"Sir, our reconnaissance force and radar still have not detected any more rebel fleets in the Sara system." the adjutant replied.

"Judging from the extremely increasing energy index, they are preparing to leap away."

"We can't let them leave." Duke said after a few seconds of silence: "The fleet moves forward and stops the rebel fleet."

At this time, the main screen of the bridge lit up again.

"A communication request from the Mar Sara Marine Division Command Center. The person commanding this division is..." Before the adjutant could finish speaking, Duke interrupted him.

"Connect." Duke stood upright, having already envisioned a certain possibility in his mind.

"Duke...the last time we met was in the Soyan galaxy, and even longer ago in Turasis." The long line on the main screen of the Norad 3 bridge is Augustus.

.

Due to various electromagnetic interference bands during the war, the picture was not very stable, and snowflake-like garbled characters occasionally appeared on the holographic projection screen. Even so, Augustus's iconic Mengsk family's gray hair and gray eyes and

His statue-like three-dimensional face was still deeply engraved in the eyes of every Civilian Alpha Squadron soldier present.

On the screen, Augustus was wearing a dark gray military coat and a wide-brimmed military hat with the logo of the Revolutionary Army, sitting on a single sofa. The brim of the military hat blocked the view from the window.

The light that penetrated made half of Augustus's eyes covered in shadow.

Behind him stood Corporal Faraday and Sarah Kerrigan. Revolutionary Army soldiers wearing Revolutionary Army uniforms were running back and forth on the wide command island.

Rebel leader Augustus Mengsk, after the Battle of Kailian, he has become synonymous with rebellion. He creates riots, provokes wars, and brings black fear to every week.

Augustus was obviously in the circular command island at the top of the command center at this time. The walls of the command island were made of light-transmitting tempered glass. The federal commander could sit on the command island and overlook the entire federal military camp. The command center of the Tyranid Federation

It is a nearly square giant building made of steel and refined crystal ore. The outer wall is made of sloping Presteel steel plates, which is enough to withstand artillery fire and even small nuclear bombs.

For a long time, the commanders of the Tyranid Federation have remotely monitored barracks, military bases and operations departments at all levels through consoles in the command island command center raised on the top of the command center. The fact that Augustus is sitting in it proves that

One thing is that Mar Sara's Marine Division had already been defeated by the rebels.

"Mengsk, if you are here to catch up with me, then we have nothing to talk about." Duke did not intend to hide his dislike for Augustus.

"For a traitor like you, I will only give you a bullet."

"Haha..." A smile appeared on Augustus's handsome face, and he pointed at the screen: "I thought you should be at least a lieutenant general now, why are you still wearing the rank of colonel?"

"Are you reluctant to part with your old clothes?"

Veins suddenly appeared on Duke's forehead. He wanted to retort but was speechless for a moment, because this was indeed the truth. After a moment of silence, the anger in Duke's heart suddenly became stronger.

"Arctorus was already a colonel before he retired, and he served almost three times as long. Of course, we all know that such promotions in the Marine Corps are still too slow."

"You don't need to worry about it." Duke wanted to close the communication, but this undoubtedly showed that he was guilty, which made him even more unable to swallow this breath.

In the past, Duke had always ridiculed others and bossed around, but it was Augustus's turn to ridicule others.

"What do you think you are now? A lost dog! Korhal has been destroyed. Do you still want to cause the people of Mar Sara to suffer the same fate?"

"Edmund Duke." Augustus did not answer Duke's words directly. He was obviously deliberately steering the conversation in a direction that was beneficial to himself.

"Look at you, your talent is not appreciated and you are suppressed." He sighed and said: "It is obvious that your talents cannot be limited to a small colonel."

"In the Federal Navy, even if you are promoted to captain, that may be it. But here, I will not only make you a general, but you will also have a place in the new cabinet in the future."

"At that time, you will be the elder of the New Tyranid Federation and its minister."

"I wonder if lunatics like you like to daydream." Duke squeezed out a wisp of cold wind from his cracked teeth: "The Federation Navy has a thousand battlecruisers and more planets, but you are just

Poor bastards running around."

"I am a member of the Duke family, the founding family of Tarsonis, and the Mengsk family are just the owners of a small planet."

"Take your Alpha Squadron and be loyal to me." Augustus didn't seem to hear what Duke was saying, he just talked to himself.

"And I will give you everything you want but can't get. Or are you willing to be a colonel for the rest of your life and be laughed at by the rest of the Duke family?"

"Humph..." Duke laughed angrily. In a sense, Augustus' words really stung him. Not being able to become a general, and furthermore, this was the eternal pain in Duke's heart.

But Duke calmed down quickly. He stared at the screen and said: "Why are you deliberately irritating me? To delay time so that your army and fleet can evacuate in time-"

"This is just a holographic image that you deliberately recorded, and the real you must be somewhere in Mar Sara - no, for a cunning person like you, you may be on a fleet in synchronous orbit, at any time

leave."

"No, this is not a holographic image recorded in advance." Augustus replied.

"I just think what you said is stupid and unnecessary to talk about." He said: "The promise I gave you will always count."

"Join us and you will no longer be just the Edmund Duke of the Duke family. People will not think of the Duke family until they talk about you first."

"Do you think I would believe..." Before Duke could finish his words, Augustus' face disappeared from the screen.

"Locate the coordinates of that command center!" Duke trembled with anger.

"We are not sure whether this is a pre-recorded image, and we are not sure whether even this position is fake." The adjutant said: "It is not a secret that you were not promoted to general, because you were newly promoted after the Battle of Kailian.

All generals are publicly awarded..."

"Shut up..." Duke spat out two cold words.

"Look, we don't know if Augustus Mengsk is in that command center or in the fleet in geosynchronous orbit, but it doesn't matter."

"I will defeat all of Augustus Mengsk's armies until I find him!"

"But it's probably a trap," the adjutant said.

"Fuck the traps." Duke roared in anger: "There are traps everywhere, should I be afraid of them because of this?"

"Send my order and prepare the landing module. I will personally defeat Augustus's rebels at Mar Sara!"
