StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 88 Family
The Mengsk family's majestic and vast castle complex is located on a steep cliff by the sea, and the deep blue waves crash against the golden sand and reefs under the cliff.The scenery here is beautiful and the climate is pleasant, as if you are in the mythical Nordic coast.

This building, as old as the colony, has traditionally been the summer retreat of the leader of the Mengsk family, four miles from the capital city of Steeling, the capital city of Keha, the nearest city to the north, far away from the arrogant and extravagant new aristocracy and corruption. center of government.

Standing on the top of the cliff, the White Castle is a medieval castle-like building surrounded by high white walls.All the high walls and pointed three-dimensional towers are made of pure white marble ashlar masonry, and the tall pointed towers stand among the lingering mist.

This magnificent pure white fortress stood among the clouds and winds as early as the era of colonial pioneers, when the brave and fearless colonists of Tarsonis came to the distant Korhal galaxy in the second generation of warp speed ships, Finally chose to build a new home on the fourth planet with a pleasant climate in this galaxy. The Mengsk family was the original leader of this group of colonists.

Only a ring road between dense forests can reach the castle of the Mengsk family, and the masters and their servants there often travel in small private airships.

The security work here is even stricter than the Sky Tower of the Mengsk family in Stilling. Only the most reliable servants will be sent here, vowing to guard the mistress and her children of the Mengsk family with their own lives. .

The convoy escorting Augustus did not change aircraft, but drove all the way through the ring road with many checkpoints.

Augustus recorded every checkpoint he encountered, and found that the security personnel in black uniforms here were all holding electromagnetic rifles, wearing simple combat uniforms with power armor, and wearing infrared goggles.However, he didn't think these people could stop the three ghost agents, and the other party would definitely designate an infiltration plan based on intelligence, or even mix in with the security personnel.

"Field, how many security forces are there?" As the convoy drove on the winding road around the mountain, Augustus frowned, which indicated his inner worries.

"Including those inside the White Castle, there are about 200 people." Acton said: "A third of these people are retired soldiers from the Korha Civil Defense Force and the Planetary Defense Force, and the others are thousands of people. Chosen Korhal Warrior."

"It's hard to say, people's thoughts are unpredictable. I still prefer to hire Umoyans. Umoyans are a world that is rarely infiltrated by federal agents." Augustus said: "Umoyans Because they are proficient in using their advanced technology to complete infiltration and reverse osmosis work, and most importantly, Umoyan has actually always supported his father's career behind his back."

"It's rare, it's rare to hear the word father from your mouth. In fact, Angus sometimes wonders if there is something wrong with the way he raises his children, but Dorothy is always sensible and well-behaved." Ake Dun joked a few words and said.

"Your father thought about your suggestion seriously, and felt that those are all achievable. We are currently recruiting people in Umoyan. The young people there are very enthusiastic about this. Due to the media publicity, Kymerian of Umoyan There are many sympathizers, but they are full of enthusiasm but have nowhere to vent."

"How much?" asked Augustus.

"There are so many Umoyan volunteers formed by the non-government." Acton smiled on his serious face: "They are willing to fight for Korha's independence from the control of the Tyrannian Federation."

"This is the best news I've heard these days except for the victory of the war." Augustus nodded: "If we can drag Umoyan into the War of Independence, that would be great."

"Yes, there will be a battle between Keha and the Federation, but it is almost impossible for Umoyan to intervene in the war except for providing volunteers and military supplies." Acton said: "If they are willing to do that, Kel Morian will not It will be a mess."

"That's because the federation hasn't pushed them to the point where they can't bear it anymore, and Umoyan's desire to expand is not as strong as that of the Kymerian federation, and there aren't too many conflicts with the Tyrann federation." Augustus said coldly. Eyes calmly watching the shade of trees beside the road around the mountain.

"But as long as the Tyrann Federation is convinced that they have wiped out all threats except Umoyan, the war that the Umoyan people have tried their best to avoid will come soon."

"Unfortunately, the next thing the federal government will deal with is Keha." Acton cast an inexplicable look at Augustus: "This is not like you."

"Augustus, you love war and hate politics. In the past, you were always indifferent to what your father did."

"When you are used to seeing death and blood, and young lives like flowers passing away in front of your eyes, you can't agree with my original view on war. War is not beautiful. Compared with it, the epic of galactic heroes is just a children's drama ’ said Augustus.

"You have grown a lot." At this time, the convoy had resisted the Mengsk Castle outside the summer manor, and the security captain Acton Field, who was in charge of the security of the members of the Mengsk family and all factories and industries, was in the armored vehicle. Said while gradually stopping in the garden inside the castle.

"I don't know if it's good or bad for you."

Augustus didn't answer Acton, because a silver-haired girl in a white dress was running towards the armored vehicle where Augustus was, just like a jumping bird.Mrs. Mengsk, wearing an elegant cornflower dress, was standing at the door of the castle with Roman columns, looking at him.

"Augustus!" My younger sister Dorothy threw herself into Augustus's arms, knocking Augustus who was about to get off the car back to the seat.

"You're back."

Holding Dorothy in his arms, Augustus realized that she was his motivation to keep fighting.Augustus tries to pick Dorothy up like he did when he was a child but fails: "You're getting fat again."

"What? Well—you've just put on weight!" Dorothy hugged Augustus angrily.

Augustus almost dragged Dorothy, who was stuck on his body, to his mother. The beautiful woman who always treats others with grace shed tears again when she saw her little son, and hugged her son tightly. .

"We all miss you, Augustus. It's been more than six months. You are a strong boy now, and you are more mature than before." Catherine said: "Mom is so happy for you."

Looking at his mother's tearful face, Augustus felt a pang in his heart.He suddenly thought of a terrible scene. The head of his father Angus was cut off, and his mother and sister were lying in a pool of blood, with hideous wounds on his chest and temples.

No, this must not happen.
