Chapter 714 Tyrann Movie King

When Augustus returned to the Augustgrad Palace, it was already evening.

As if unaffected by the disaster, the outside was still brightly lit and colorful. Various flying cars, propaganda airships, and advertising airships passed through the towering skyscrapers, like fish swimming in the river.

When the Terran Empire was first established, Khar was still a ruin. The protracted war destroyed many originally prosperous planets. The local government was faced with a mess left by the old federation. A large amount of public debt could not be repaid. Government agencies could not pay a single salary. Prices soared and society was in turmoil.

The revival of this vast interstellar empire was inseparable from Augustus's governance.

The emperor of the Terran Empire and his fleet had been traveling between the stars for several months. When he returned to the palace, he had no time to rest and immediately picked up the affairs of state that he had put down for a long time. When the battleship enters the jump state, the concept of time and space becomes very vague. Sometimes it feels like a year even though it has only been a week.

In one night, so many officials were summoned to the palace, which was half of the empire's political circles. They were ordered around by Augustus, and they still felt it was natural.

Augustus had to admit that this job would never give him a break, but he hoped it was worth it.

The enemies of the empire never seemed to need a break. The Zerg had returned, and even their once undoubted Protoss allies had become tools for the dark god to destroy the world. What's more, since Amon had completely controlled the Protoss and the Zerg, he could create his own hybrid army more unscrupulously.

The advantage was too great, and Amon didn't know how to lose.

Unfortunately, since the Golden Fleet lost contact, Augustus has never heard from his old friend Tassadar. Augustus still believes that this respected Protoss hero can still turn danger into safety as in the past, but no matter what, the situation is not optimistic.

The Daram Protoss not only lost their proud huge fleet, but also their most important spiritual leader. In addition to Augustus, even Artanis himself had doubts about whether he could take over Tassadar's mission.

Now on the star map of the Terran Empire centered on Korhal, the Zerg army is pressing forward from the south and the east, and the Protoss's Golden Fleet has leaped into the empire from another direction, burning all the life planets they can find.

The stars are burning.

Every day, the latest intelligence from all directions outside Korhal comes in like snowflakes, bringing news of the continuous advancement of Amon's army. The empire's territory is vast, spanning hundreds and thousands of star systems, and even the fastest news from the border comes from a few weeks ago.

On the way back to Korhal from Shakuras, Augustus's fleet almost collided head-on with a huge Sky Hive Fleet that jumped through the wormhole space.

Judging from the direction of this Hive Fleet's advance, their target can be clearly seen as the Terran Empire's Sharpsburg colony, which is a very prosperous world with developed heavy industry, and the residents above have lived here for many generations.

At that time, Augustus was surrounded by not only the Imperial Fleet with Alpha Squadron as the main force, but also the Purifiers of Clolarion, the Spear of Adun of Artanis, and all the warships and fighters of the Nerazim Protoss.

Just when the people of Sharpsburg were not aware of the crisis, a war broke out in this star field a few light years away from the world. The interstellar cemetery left after this interstellar war can still be found now. The huge battlefield is full of unparalleled warship wreckage and insect corpses.

There is only one thing to be thankful for. Even though Amon already has a large army of Protoss, Zerg and hybrids, his army is only obsessed with destroying every planet along the way on the way to attack the Koprulu sector, truly slaughtering all life, leaving no one alive.

However, this will inevitably slow down the attack speed of Amon's army. They spent too much time razing every planet over and over again. Some planets even have only an outpost of the Terran Empire or the Darram Protoss, while other planets under attack even have relatively primitive life forms.

It is clear that Amon wants to kill humans in the process of destroying the world, rather than first hit the Terran Empire and force them to withdraw from the next war.

From a tactical perspective, they should prioritize attacking the important worlds with the largest population or the most resources and industrial areas in the Empire. The Golden Fleet should march straight to Korhal, and no Imperial fleet can stop them.

Although Amon did launch an attack on Korhal, it seems that this is all. Augustus hurried back to Korhal partly to show weakness to the enemy, and partly because he was really afraid that Amon would take Korhal regardless of everything.

At present, Amon seems to believe that he can take Korhal through an invasion from the void like he took down Shakuras, without having to use the Protoss and Zerg armies.

But Amon obviously failed, he may not be angry, maybe just amused.

Alarak once instigated a Rak'shir ritual in the Chain of Ascension, which was participated by thousands of Ascended, resulting in the death of a large number of powerful Tal'darim army leaders, while he himself reaped the benefits.

Such a large number of casualties among the top leaders caused a large-scale chaos in the Tal'darim army. The fleet was leaderless, which delayed Amon's plan, but Amon didn't care.

It has long been known that Amon looked down on humans. At the same time, he was overconfident and even arrogant, otherwise he would not have told Artanis that I had created an evil god host in Aiur, and it was about to come to reality, so you should come and fight.

As a Xel'Naga, Amon was not stupid. He just thought he had a sure win from the beginning, and looked down on all living things with the mentality of a creator and a looker. He claimed to be a god, but he was not omniscient and omnipotent. Perhaps he had deceived himself over time.

Facts have proved that Augustus's move to continuously expand the empire's territory is now extremely correct. The Terran Empire may have only established a few mining stations on an extremely remote and desolate planet or asteroid belt. These mining stations may not even have names, only a series of numbers, but they are still counted as part of the empire's territory.

Amon's army spent a lot of time razing these mining stations and the surrounding world to the ground, but the people inside had actually evacuated long ago, or there was no one at all.

There were many such areas during the expansion stage of the Terran Empire, and they were prepared by Augustus to confuse Amon. Of course, if you decide to destroy all the inferior creations of Xel'Naga, then why not kill them all? Burning a bunch of bugs may take time, but how can it be compared with the countless years of dormancy in the void?

Even so, the situation is not optimistic, which can be seen on the star map of the Terran Empire. The dense red dots almost blocked the entire border, and the light spots symbolizing the empire's territory kept going out.

In the short time since returning to Augustgrad, Augustus has appointed a large number of imperial front-line commanders who have been granted the right to make independent combat decisions, and ordered them to lead troops that can achieve rapid response and mobility between star zones, and use all means to slow down the advancement of the Protoss Golden Fleet and the Overlord Swarm on the periphery of the Terran Empire's marginal worlds, so as to buy time for the main fleet to complete the defense circle in the empire.

On the other hand, Zurwen, the lord of the original zerg, has formed an alliance with the Tyranid Empire and is in a stalemate with the invading Tal'darim Death Fleet in the western border of the empire.

Augustus originally planned that if Zurwen refused to form an alliance because of fear of Amon's power, he would have to treat the original Zerg as a potential enemy and help Dehaka unify the original Zerg, because they are not without the possibility of defection.

It must be said that even if Zurwen is just a primitive Zerg, he is a primitive Zerg that has lived for many years and is old and sophisticated. Facts have proved that the original Zerg fears losing their freedom more than Amon.

As Dehaka said, if Amon destroys the entire universe, they will no longer have essence to plunder.

The original Zerg is a very special group. The pursuit of essence drives them to hunt and collect. The more powerful the ancient primitive Zerg like Zurwen is, the more they worry about being enslaved by Amon like the Overmind.

Arcturus has been complaining to Augustus about him sending diplomats to the original Zerg, but there should still be a sense of ceremony.

The Imperial diplomat who was entrusted with the important task went to a planet where the primitive Zerg now settled under the protection of a legendary Imperial Ghost Agent, and met the Zerg Zurwen in the primitive swamp of the planet.

Its legendary level can almost be compared with the trip to the giant country in Gulliver's Travels. There is no diplomatic etiquette and treatment, no good wine and meat to drink and talk happily, only a bunch of violent primitive creatures who treat you as meat. Opposite is the most powerful primitive Zerg in history. You have to raise your neck and speak to the sky to see its huge eyes looking down at the ground from the clouds.

Fortunately, this diplomat is also a capable and ambitious person. Speaking of Augustus's tactics of forming alliances and making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby countries, he also has a set of tricks. Zurwen is an intelligent creature after all, who knows how to judge the situation and of course does not care about his two taels of meat.

However, there are also many factions within the primitive Zerg, and even Zurwen cannot rule all the tribes. Putting these aside, Zurwen will sooner or later become a big worry, and Augustus will kill it sooner or later.

Alarak is also a dangerous person, but Augustus doesn't mind cooperating with them temporarily. Even if it is the Earthling Solar Empire, Augustus is willing to put aside the past, but there has been no new news in the direction of the Orion Arm for a long time.

"I know Amon will not let Korhal go, just like he did to the Shakuras of the Daram Protoss."

Augustus was in the throne room of the Augustgrad Palace not long ago to accept the audience of the imperial ministers. He has too many things to report to these people and too many things to solve, and these things can't always be thrown to others.

Of course, Angus, Arcturus and their staff have been doing a good job before. They have done a lot of work and made a lot of efforts to maintain an efficient bureaucratic government. Without them, Augustus would not be able to leave Augustgrad without scruples, and there would be no need to worry about Korhal messing up when he was away.

"But Amon must have overestimated the power of the void creatures and underestimated the strength of our defenses in Korhal." Augustus walked to the throne and said to Arcturus and Kerrigan below.

"No matter what Amon wants to do, everyone in the empire is now worried that Amon will launch a second attack on Korhal and Augustgrad. Not only Korhal, but other worlds may also be involved in Amon. "I don't care what people think, but I think there are concerns among our troops because their families and property may be being destroyed," Arcturus said. under danger."

"We should have had more resocialized troops, because the hybrids can control normal people with their psychic powers, but they are helpless against 'robots.'"

"If Aemon is coming, let him come, and we will greet him with more artillery fire." Augustus looked at Arcturus and said: "This is the way of hospitality of the Tyranids. "

"You know that not everything can be made public. What we really have to do next is not to defend, but to attack. We must first recapture the golden fleet, and then fight into the void in one go."

"Crazy battle plan." Arcturus said: "But if it's not crazy enough, how can you break the rules and turn defeat into victory?"

"Karax said he had made a breakthrough in his research on the Xel'Naga artifact, if indeed it could be used to briefly contain Aemon's will, thus driving him out of Kara."

"After that, we will convince the protoss to cut off the nerve bundles." Augustus said: "After experiencing the pain of being corrupted, this should not be so difficult for them. Furthermore, we will find Artanis convinced his people."

"Tell Karax he's a genius."

"I said."

"I remember, wasn't that what you reminded him of?" Kerrigan said, "You were still thinking that he was really stupid."

"You have an excellent memory," said Augustus.

"Your Majesty, Dr. Narud has arrived outside the palace." At this time, a royal guard soldier came in and said to Augustus.

Dr. Emil Narud is also the scientific and technological advisor to Emperor Augustus. After he lived up to expectations and repaired the Xel'Naga world ship, there was no other achievement that could compare with it. Augustus could not fail to do it. make any expression.

As official business, Augustus first commended Dr. Emil Narud for his outstanding contributions to the Tyran Empire, and then invited him to the palace to discuss important matters.

But this time, something is different.

Augustus asked Vorazun and Artanis for three Shadow Guards. The Dark Templar warriors among them were also top masters in the Nerazim tribe. They were also allowed to merge into the forbidden darkness at the most critical moment. A consul remains unchanged in the face of all changes.

As long as Augustus throws the cup as a signal, the Shadow Guard will immediately show up to capture the rebels.

Narud may be the only one of Aemon's men who is still racking his brains to realize his master's grand cause and is focused on digging a hole for Augustus.

In the past, the Tyranids had benefited so much from Narud that Augustus felt a little regretful when he had to get rid of him. He wondered if he could find a cryogenic chamber to cann Narud. Save it and squeeze it out of value.

"I don't know how you saw that Narud intended to rebel." Arcturus said: "If he really did this, he must have done it in a flawless and flawless manner."

"It doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not," Augustus said. "What matters is that I think he betrayed me."

"If someone calls you a tyrant in the future," Arcturus said, "I wouldn't be surprised."

"I am," said Augustus.

Qidian has a new word correction function. I saw in the backend that someone had already corrected my mistake. Although I couldn’t see who it was, I was really grateful.
