StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 49 The Seago Dragon Legion

On July 7, heavy snow fell from early morning to evening.

Eight inches of snow piled up on the road leading to the parking platform in Fort Howe. Augustus was wearing a thick winter suit and drove a snowplow to clear the road. In the light of the headlights, there were scattered snowflakes indistinctly. .

At this time, the snow was getting smaller and smaller, and there were only a few snowplows driven by soldiers from Augustus's class on the road.The street lights on both sides of the road have been turned on, and the pure white world is shining with dazzling and dazzling snow-colored light.

Augustus's snow plow is driving slowly on the road. In the cockpit, a high-precision wooden retro phonograph that was just sent from Keha IV Steeling last week is playing blue music. Next to the dashboard There is a cup of coffee that is still steaming.

Today is another ordinary day, working hard in the fortress, fishing appropriately, but there is no war filled with gunpowder, no need to kill people, and no comrades in arms will die by their side.thought Augustus.

"Praise peace!"

Thinking about it, Augustus picked up the coffee, took a sip, and his whole body immediately warmed up. The caffeine lifted his spirits.

Suddenly, something caught Augustus' eyes. In front of him on the left were two plow-type snow plows that were driving fast.In the front car, there are two swinging red-haired and blond boys sitting on the co-pilot and co-pilot respectively.Even though it was still snowing, their car windows were open, and loud rock music beat Augustus' eardrums.

"Harnack and Josephine are two bad boys, they're loud and loud, but girls like them" they sang loudly, laughing.

Just as Augustus was about to turn on the radio horn and scold them, Harnack whizzed past him in a snowplow, and a snow thrower that opened to the left threw all the broken snow into Augustus. on the car window.

Augustus's good humor sank a little.

"Accelerate! Wuhu!" That was Lei Nuo's voice: "I am the man who chases the wind!"

Within seconds, another, larger snowplow drove past him, throwing more snow onto Augustus' windows, forcing him to turn on the wipers.

The coffee in his hand splashed onto the white windbreaker, and Augustus' anger was soaring.

"Hi! Little wolf cub of the Mengsk family, is it convenient for me to take a ride?" Augustus opened the car window and looked around. A hundred yards in front of his car was a man wearing a silver-gray windbreaker. The man with the long-brimmed hood was waving at him.

Augustus drove the car over slowly, and after it stopped, he opened the door on the right side: "Captain, I heard that you are about to be promoted?"

The company commander of the first company, Warfield, climbed up step by step with the ladder and sat down in the cab, leaning comfortably on the co-pilot's seat: "Hurry up, do you have coffee, kid?"

"There is instant coffee, but you still have to make it yourself." Augustus turned the steering wheel and prepared to turn: "Where are you going, I just want to drive back."

"The command center of Fort Howe, you know, I just flew to the oak forest to make a report, and before I could stand still, the chameleon of Vanderspump rushed me to see him." Warfield said in A cup and a hot water bottle were rummaged in a storage box behind the seat.

"We don't belong to him." Augustus' car turned a corner and drove in the same direction as it came and went.

Lieutenant Colonel Javier Vanderspoop is the acting lieutenant colonel of Fort Howe. Originally, all the soldiers and personnel of the fort including the [-]th Battalion of the [-]nd Marine Corps were under his management, but as Augustus said In that way, Warfield's company really should not belong to him.

"I agree with you [-] points." Warfield chuckled, and focused on how to make coffee in a moving snowplow: "But let me tell you last time Vanderspump always wants to step on our heads to shit and piss like that. I don't like that hypocritical guy who stays in the impenetrable fort all year round and always puts on airs and takes military ranks without fighting a few tough battles oppression."

"Yesterday, he deliberately went to the headquarters of the [-]th Brigade at Hobo Pass, saying that the internal defense of Fort Howe is empty, so while the [-]st company is stationed in the fortress, this company must be temporarily allocated to him to command." "He came to me to show me off about it," Field said.

"You don't need to guess, I know what the result will be." Augustus chuckled lightly.

"All in all, we're going to be in bad luck." Warfield snorted, "Just wait and see, when I stand in front of Vanderspie, that monkey is going to jump up and down in our faces. "

"You just said he was a chameleon," Augustus said.

"That's the monkey that changes color." Warfield took a sip of hot coffee: "I never give people nicknames, but Vanderspump is an exception."

"We all know that even in the Federal Marine Corps, there are many soldiers who have been corrupted by money and power, enriched their own pockets, and there are countless scum who play power." The front line is much more difficult, so they quickly turn their attention to other areas - for example, how to use the power at hand to make their life better and more nourishing."

"Vanderspoop has always been hiding it very well, but I can guarantee that his assets are far more than his salary. The acting lieutenant colonel of Howe Fortress, this is a lucrative position."

"Let's just treat him as a clown in a circus." Augustus said with a smile.

"Thinking about it this way, I feel much more at ease." Warfield nodded, and then he looked at his watch: "Hehe, we have to hurry up. Clown Fan asked me to arrive at the command center within 10 minutes."

Augustus's snow removal vehicle gradually picked up speed, and quickly caught up with Hanack, Renault and the others in front, and flung snow onto their faces at an even faster speed.Harnack and Josephine, who had the car windows open, were immediately chilled, and the happy singing stopped abruptly.

The snow plow drove fast and finally stopped at the door of the only command center in Fort Howe. Warfield and Augustus got out of the car together.There were two resocialized soldiers standing at the door. When they saw them, they immediately stood up and saluted.

"Vanderspoop's subordinates are all resocialized soldiers. I don't think he likes thinking soldiers. He only wants robots who obey orders." Warfield said to August when he walked into the command center. Stu said, "Don't stand there, come in with me and have a look."

The command center during the Battle of Kailian was a large multi-storey building. Augustus and Warfield had to use an elevator to climb up to the observation platform surrounded by huge glass on the upper level of the command center, and walk through the corridors hung with oil paintings to the vanguard. Lieutenant Colonel Desp's office.

The door of the office was tightly shut, which meant that even though Warfield was reluctant, he still had to knock on the door and get permission from the owner of the office to enter.

It was the first time for Augustus to see Vanderspoop. Hearing Warfield's description, he originally thought that he was a middle-aged man who was always in the office with a sluggish look.But Vanderspump's first impression is that he is a handsome man. He has a clean and tidy uniform and a brand-new long-brimmed military cap. The precipitation of the years on his face makes him more charming than a mature man. temperament.

"Please forgive me, as the commander of this place, I have to go back and forth between Hobbo Pass and Howe Fortress almost every day, commanding the frontline troops to drive the Kel Morians back and forth like rabbits." As he was speaking, Van der Stey's face suddenly changed: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, Lieutenant Colonel, we suddenly thought of something funny." Augustus said blankly.

"." Vanderspoop glanced at Augustus: "Captain Warfield, I need you to send a force to Fort Wett to scout the enemy. The scouts from the Zulu outpost and the fort's scout planes were there. A small team of the Higoron Legion has been found in the area."

"Now? How many people are there? I can only send one more platoon at most." Warfield immediately became serious: "If the enemy attacks the fort at this time, you can't let a group of engineers and mechanics carry guns to fight. "

"Right now. One platoon will suffice, the Higoron Legion is nothing more than a rabble of beggars and robbers. But send your best troops, as the area is not currently under our control. Waite Fish and dragons are mixed up in the castle, and your subordinates must be careful." Vanderspump's face was full of confident smiles.

"No one knows the Kel-Morian bastards better than me. They are just a bunch of cowardly rats. Even if there are only women and children left in Fort Howe, the Kel-Morians will be ashamed if they see the machine guns on the walls of the fortress." Hug your head and run away."
