StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 1 Augustus Mengsk

"Thanks for begging, I can't travel to a plane in the Koprulu sector, thank you brother!"

This was the last sentence He Shuhan heard before his eyes went dark.When he opened his eyes again, the computer was gone along with the desk and other furniture in the room.In its place was a round table of mahogany with pewter service and engraved idyllic scenes and hunting scenes on horseback, and two golden chandeliers complemented the light from a crystal chandelier.

He Shuhan sat on a well-crafted upholstered chair, and on the table in front of him were folded white tablecloths, a glass of sparkling rose wine and mushroom risotto.On the dinner plate are sliced, char-grilled steaks drenched in sauce and a small poultry cooked to a shiny oil. On hand is a lavender cake with lime juice.

"Augustus, you know how much your mother put in for this dinner, don't ruin it."

The stern male voice brought He Shuhan back to reality from his trance. He looked up at the opposite side of the dining table, and the person speaking was a middle-aged man with dark gray hair, white sideburns and beard.

His temples turned white, and he spoke with a weird accent, but he didn't look twisted. He Shuhan quickly realized that this was not Chinese but English, but suddenly, English was like his mother tongue. Generally familiar.

He Shuhan just glanced at it, then immediately lowered his head, picked up the knife and fork, and naturally dealt with the delicious food on the plate. Obviously, in the eyes of others, he must have been in a daze for a long time just now.

Feeling the fragrance in his mouth, He Shuhan knew that if all of this was true, then thanks to a mouthful of poisoned milk from a certain Xudong old fairy, he really traveled to the Kopulu star area.So far, this looks like a decent middle-class family at least.

When bowing his head to enjoy the food, He Shuhan behaved gracefully and self-restraint, and the movements of holding the knife and fork were skillful and correct.He didn't look at the other family members sitting at the dining table out of the corner of his eye, but tried his best to recall the memory of this body after time travel.Fortunately, although it was not complete, he found some buried memories in a short time and had a basic understanding of his current identity.

Augustus Mengsk.

A member of the Mengsk family, the elder family on Keha IV, one of the thirteen core planets in the territory of the Tyrann Federation.This is an ancient and prominent family. The founder and several generations of ancestors of the family have led the first colonists to build their homes in this beautiful world for hundreds of years.Augustus was the second son in the family and took his name from his grandfather.

Augustus's father, Angus Mengsk, is the current owner of various properties of the Mengsk family. He is also a member of the Keha Council. He enjoys high prestige in the political arena and has millions of steadfast support among the people. followers.

His mother is a strong and beautiful Keha woman. Like other wives of nobles and upper-class people on Keha IV, Catherine Mengsk is good at housework, likes cooking and researching recipes, and she is also a multi- Major funders of charitable causes.

Augustus was not the only child in the family.Augustus has an older brother, Arcturus Mengsk, who is the commander of the 33rd Ground Assault Division of the Federal Marine Corps, and a 16-year-old younger sister, Dorothy Mengsk. Augustus just returned from Keha this year Ⅳ Graduated from the Stilling College of Higher Education in the capital city, just after graduation, at the age of youth and frivolity.

Compared to his wonderful older brother and lovely younger sister, Augustus was a source of dismay for his parents, and he had a poor record at Stilling College.

Skipping classes, teasing the old-fashioned grade director, beating the principal who beats selfishness and fraud, holding a magnetic levitation two-wheeled motorcycle competition in the college, modifying the IAA advertising robot at the school gate in violation of regulations, and gathering a crowd for a barbecue at the graduation ceremony. All reveal a disregard for secular rules and authority.

"Augustus. We have been fighting Kelmorian for two years, and the situation is still unclear. The federal government of Tarsonis has lowered the minimum age for conscription several times, and the UNN controlled by those corrupt federal founding families and global news networks are ambiguous about casualty figures, while trumpeting honor and sacrifice."

The voice of his father Angus once again awakened Augustus from his memory, and he seemed to be trying to create some topics with his rebellious son.

The atmosphere of today's family dinner is very different from those family dinners that paid attention to etiquette but were equally warm and harmonious in the memory of Augustus in the past. In the past, Angus would never bring political and business matters to the dinner table, because the little one in the family Dorothy always had something to say.

At this time, even Augustus, who is always restless, will patiently listen to her telling her friends at school and the imaginative fairy tales she has woven.

Augustus sensed something was wrong, and as he looked up into his father's eyes as if listening to him, he noticed that his mother and sister were also unhappy.

In Augustus's memory, he almost never saw his mother cry, and that was usually when life and death were parted.Augustus immediately searched his mind for information about the war his father mentioned, and he was acutely aware that this matter should be related to him.

This is an all-out war between the Tyranid Federation and the Kel-Morian Consortium, a human regime of the same origin in the Koprulu sector. The two sides are fighting for precious crystal mineral resources and colonies.So far, the war has affected hundreds of millions of people in more than a dozen marginal colonies, and millions of soldiers, miners and civilians have died as a result.

Total War shows no signs of coming to an end, with both the Tyranid Federation and Kel-Morian declaring that they are in absolute favor.

Only high-ranking federal officials like Angus know that the two sides will win or lose. It can be said that the two sides are evenly matched. The war has evolved from the initial exchange of fire in local areas to the mutual bombardment between fleets, even using nuclear weapons.To win, the federal government is sending unsuspecting young people to a meat grinder.

As a politician, Angus's blatant outrage comes only when he criticizes corruption and argues for the interests of potential vote holders.The reason he was so out of sorts today was that his second son was desperate to join the Union Marines like his older brother, and tomorrow was Augustus' departure for boot camp.

The Mengsk family has been trying to free Korhal from the rule of the Tyranid Federation and achieve independence as an independent dominion rather than a colony.As a result, the Mengsk family had irreconcilable conflicts with the federal government, and Augustus's move to join the federal army was undoubtedly a betrayal of his father's cause.

The boot camp is in a remote colony a few light-years away from Korha, at least a distant world that can only be reached by a spaceship equipped with a warp drive and capable of long-distance jumps.Angus' second son will also leave him. It's not just that he may lose his heir, he loves every one of his children deeply.

"This is the last time I'll tell you how cruel war is. It's not one of those childish games you play. Pity your family. Your mother nearly cried herself to death when you made such a callous decision." Die!" Just as Augustus recalled all this, Angus continued.

"Beyond the walls we've erected for you is a cruel world, and the battlefield is hell in a cruel world. All because you're used to the good life, to do whatever you want, to do whatever you want. God, I wish you could Show even the slightest bit of remorse!"

Augustus was startled.Crazy, let the rich and unrestrained life of the noble son, but, what the hell do you want to be a good brother of 50 yuan?
