"Good evening to all the viewers in front of the TV! This is Hero Federation National Television. I am Janna, the female anchor that everyone loves. Welcome to the UHL studio!"
"Today is a good day to complete the construction of the City of Hope, the capital city of our Federation of Heroes on the planet Haven, and to issue an administrative declaration of founding in the Koprulu Sector! At the same time, today is also the first day of broadcasting in our UHL studio! Next, please watch the impromptu speech by the Supreme Head of our Hero Federation, Her Excellency Anne Hastur!"
Today, within the Koprulu sector, whether it is the territory of the Tyranid Empire, the sphere of influence of the protoss, or even the camps where various refugees from the Zerg-ravaged sector are lingering, they all received a strange person. The TV broadcast signal, the other party and forcibly occupied the channels of other TV stations: a UHL studio said to be the National TV Station of the Federation of Heroes?
Obviously, this so-called Hero Federation TV must have used some illegal means to forcefully cover all TV signals.
Then, the audience discovered that what appeared on the TV screen was a plump blonde host with gold-rimmed glasses, who suddenly appeared on all TV channels without warning.
Except for a few humans and protoss who have heard of the Federation of Heroes she spoke of, the rest have no clue at all!
They have no idea which human force the Federation of Heroes is? What kind of third-rate TV station is UHL studio?
A force that I have never heard of, an anchor and a TV station that I have never seen, dare to occupy the channels of legitimate TV stations and issue a declaration of the founding of the country at the same time? Are you afraid that you have lost your mind and gone crazy?
"Eh? It's all recorded now? Well, why didn't you remind me earlier?!"
After the beautiful female anchor switched the interface, a cute little girl with a mouth full of grease and a roasted hind leg of an animal appeared on the TV.
Then, when she realized that the camera had been pointed at her and had already started recording, she hurriedly hid the barbecue behind her, and at the same time used her other free hand to wipe her oily vagina casually. Mouth.
"Um... hello everyone? I am the head of the Federation of Heroes. You can call me Annie!"
"Then, from today on, our Federation of Heroes is officially established! From now on, the planet Haiwen Planet will be the capital administrative planet of our Federation of Heroes! The surrounding area and several nearby planets are all ours Our sphere of influence, if you are fine, don’t come and cause trouble! Otherwise, I will definitely beat you all over the head!"
The little girl on the TV raised her little fist and threatened.
Then, when she found that her raised fist was still holding the roasted hind leg of the Haiwen star animal, she quickly retracted it and replaced it with her other free little hand, which was also full of The greasy little fist threatened fiercely.
"Our planet is very good! They asked me to tell you that if anyone wants to settle here, we will welcome you! Then, I can also take you hunting and barbecue! The wild animals on this planet are very It’s delicious, just like this big six-legged thing in my hand now, we spent a lot of effort to catch it..."
beep……
Soon, the little girl head of state's increasingly biased speech was promptly cut off and switched to the beautiful host's interface.
"Haha... everyone should have seen it, right? The above... is the declaration of our federation..."
"Our head of state is still so funny! However, there is no doubt about her ability. Under the leadership of our great head of state Anne, our people got rid of the worms and came to Haven Star and began to live and work in peace and contentment. We live a happy life and our days are getting better day by day!"
While hurriedly explaining to the live camera, Janna was also secretly dissatisfied with the staff responsible for recording the head of state's speech.
They had been preparing for a month, but now they have recorded such a messy video? Can't such a grand and formal speech be a little more serious?
"Welcome everyone to settle on our planet Haiwen! We welcome any free immigrants or unemployed people to settle on our planet and become legal citizens of our country! There is only one premise: as long as you are willing to abide by our laws!"
“We have very generous benefits and very low taxes!”
"For all those who come to settle on Haiwen Star as a family unit, our federation will send hard-working SCV engineers to build a three-story villa with a courtyard and a garage for you, and provide you with suitable jobs and high-performance hover vehicles. One unit, free of charge!”
"How's it going? Are you excited? What are you still hesitating about? Hurry up and immigrate to our Haiwen planet! Here, you will find that the beautiful Haiwen planet is about to become a paradise for human settlement..."
"Please remember our TV channel: FM 666.233! We will broadcast interesting TV programs and news for you every day..."
Countless humans or protoss in front of the TV looked at each other in disbelief at the female anchor who was bragging vigorously on the TV.
The audience, who are still confused, don’t even know what the Federation of Heroes is, and have never even heard of it!
In this case, most people even thought that this was just a joke made by some malicious people! At the same time, they also felt a little confused: What is the point of the other party illegally occupying the communication channels of regular TV stations and publishing such speeches and TV programs? !
Therefore, not long after watching this new TV station, more humans and protoss in the star area switched channels one after another and stopped paying more attention to it...
————
At the same time, on the Hyperion...
About three weeks ago, Jim Raynor's Rangers successfully raided the Imperial excavation site in Tarsonis and intercepted several trains and seized a lot of supplies. After that, they were frantically pursued by several Imperial squadrons.
It wasn't until they slipped around the Koprulu sector several times and jumped to several places, which took them nearly a month, that they finally managed to get rid of the empire's pursuers.
"Ha! This is really interesting... It seems that that bastard Mengsk may not have to pay attention to us for a while?"
In the bridge of the Hyperion, Renault, Captain Matt, Tychus and others were watching the replay of the TV program that had just been received.
This had happened a few days ago, and now, when they were free and watched it, Reno immediately became happy.
When he thought about it, the Federation of Heroes actually publicly issued such a declaration of independence in the Koprulu Sector. This must have seriously provoked the Tyranids' bottom line, right?
As the other party is the only unified human country in the Koprulu Star Region, they probably will not sit back and watch the development and growth of Haiwen Star, right? Not to mention that the other party is now using the TV station's signal to issue declarations and openly poach people for immigration and other activities!
Renault can already predict what his old enemy Mengsk will do next: Is nothing more than to refute rumors, block news, block the opponent's TV station signal, and then block the opponent economically and militarily at the same time?
As for sending troops to attack Haven Star, Renault thought it was unlikely.
After all, Star Haven was just a remote and inhospitable planet, not the territory of his Mengsk Empire. The other party's location was next to the territory of the protoss, which was too sensitive.
As long as the Federation of Heroes of Haven Star doesn't seek death and go to the territory of Mengsk's Tyranid Empire to cause trouble or poach powerful astrological orbs, he will not be too embarrassed, right?
"By the way, Matt, that old robot adjutant from the Autonomous Alliance era, how is it cracked now? Does it still refuse to say anything?"
After watching the TV show, Reno remembered that damn shabby robot lieutenant.
A few days ago, they made a big deal: they raided the abandoned planet of Tarsonis and intercepted many Terran Empire military trains. After they finally intercepted one of the most heavily defended trains, they Obtained a seemingly worthless special gadget - an old robot adjutant from the Autonomous Alliance era? !
It is precisely because of this that the Hyperion was frantically pursued by the imperial warships for a long time...
Renault felt at that time that the empire had gone to such great lengths to pursue him crazily, and the defense was so tight that even the carriages were equipped with anti-scanning devices. There must be some special secret hidden in it?
Therefore, Renault decided to find out for himself at that time!
At that time, after they retrieved the old adjutant, they placed it in the laboratory to recharge. Later, when Renault went in to interrogate it, the other party refused to answer?
Because, in its database, Renault's identity is still a criminal! And criminals have no human rights! Therefore, the artificial head of that garbage robot refused to say anything valuable to Renault until it was cracked! If it were anyone else, they would also be refused to answer because of permission issues.
Therefore, this matter has been dragged down by Mengsk's imperial warships until now.
"I'm sorry, sir, with our current deciphering capabilities, there's nothing we can do about it! Unless we are willing to take the risk of completely demolishing it, otherwise..."
Matt shrugged, looked at Renault and replied helplessly.
They have everyone on board the Hyperion, but there are no experts in cracking electronic devices! Therefore, there is really no way to deal with the former Autonomous Alliance machine adjutant who refuses to take hard or soft orders and only follows logical calculations!
"Hey! Guys... I think we can actually try our luck at the Port of the Dead? Where, as long as you have money, you can find someone to help you with anything!"
After seeing that Renault and Matt were helpless, Tychus thought for a while and told what he knew.
"That's right! That's right! Tychus, your words reminded me!"
Matt seemed to suddenly remember something. He thought that there seemed to be an old mercenary specializing in electronics in the Port of the Dead.
"I know there is a man named Colonel Olan. He is an expert in cracking federal codes! We should be able to find him in the Port of the Dead, known as the mercenary paradise. Although he is not very trustworthy, this is the best option at the moment. ”
Apart from these mercenaries who could sell everything for money, Matt really couldn't think of anyone else who would help them, the most wanted criminals in the empire?
Moreover, when you go to the Port of the Dead, you can also take advantage of the stolen goods that have been accumulated in the warehouse and looted from the Tarsonis excavation site?
"Okay, okay, then, let's take action now! Matt, you can give the order to set off now! We finally got rid of those annoying imperial lackeys!"
Now that there is a way to crack the broken robot hanging in the laboratory for charging, Renault is not willing to waste time here anymore. It is better to solve this matter as soon as possible.
He wanted to take a closer look. What important information was there in that robot's brain that was worthy of Mengsk's big fanfare of sealing off the planet and excavating the ruins to find it? And because of this, the intensity of hunting him has been greatly enhanced?
You know, in the past few days, they have been chased by the opponent's warships. If they hadn't reserved enough energy, they might have been caught by the opponent long ago, right?
Tsk! Fortunately, they made a small profit on Haiwen Star a month ago! Now they lack everything, but they don't lack energy!
"Okay, sir!"
"..."
After receiving the order, Matt turned around and walked to his captain's position, preparing to give orders about the jump. On the side, Tychus clutched the metal chair with a pale face. Trapped in this special armored power combat suit, he had never been able to adapt to the teleportation method of warping.
"Very good! Then you get ready first, and then start jumping directly. Now, let me go back and have a drink."
After Renault looked at Tychus who was looking unhappy in the bridge, he smiled and turned around to leave.
He has decided that it is worth going to the bar to have a few drinks to celebrate after finally escaping from the pursuit of Mengsk's thugs? The ban on alcohol these days has really made him hungry!
"..."
"Huh? Who is this? It's actually Matt who transferred from the bridge?!"
Renault, who was wandering towards the bar in the battleship corridor, suddenly found that the communicator in his hand lit up at this moment.
After thinking about it for a while, Renault pressed the receive button while feeling a little puzzled.
"Is it you? Tuoshi...you came to me at this time. Is there anything important? I remember clearly that our deal has been completed, right? I don't owe you anything!"
As soon as he saw the holographic image of the cold-blooded killer illuminated by the communicator on his arm, Renault frowned unnaturally.
He doesn't like dealing with such unscrupulous people all day long. The few times he cooperated with the other party before, it was just out of necessity... Renault thinks that this promise, the other party has no bottom line in what he does, and it is not in line with him, Chief Inspector Lei. style of!
You know, Renault is now a freedom fighter, fighting for freedom and resisting Mengsk's tyranny. Isn't he a cruel and vicious interstellar thief like the rumors outside?
Although the Hyperion occasionally engages in piracy and robs supplies and transport ships of the imperial military, it is also an act of last resort! There is an essential difference from thugs like Tuo Xu, who are purely for robbery, destruction and killing.
"Hey, man! Don't be so nervous. Didn't we have a great time working together before?"
Seeing the unhappy expression on Renault's face, Tuosh smiled nonchalantly.
"Tell me, you came to me at this time, what's going on?!"
Renault, who was unwilling to give in to the other party, asked straight to the point.
With such a person who doesn't speculate, Renault can't have too much friendship with the other party. The previous cooperation was just mutual use. Presumably, the other party must think so too, right?
"Okay, then I'll just tell you the truth?"
After noticing the impatience on Renault's face, Yu Yuzhi was unwilling to waste any more time and got to the point directly.
"It's like this: I just received a tip and discovered a big deal! Are you interested in joining forces with me again? I guarantee that we will make a fortune this time!!!"
Tuo Xu in the communication interface mysteriously approached the camera and whispered.
"Ha! What kind of big deal is it again? Why don't you tell us about it first?!"
After laughing, Renault asked noncommittally.
Now, they had just robbed the imperial military train and made a small fortune. They were not very short of money, and they had not found a chance to get rid of the excavated objects until now...
Therefore, they are planning to go to the Port of the Dead. On the one hand, while getting rid of the stolen goods, they also need to find someone to help decipher the stubborn old robot adjutant from the Autonomous Alliance period to see why that thing deserves so much attention from old Mengsk. nervous?
Therefore, Renault and the others really don't have time to accompany this ghost villain to make a big deal! But if you just want to listen, that's okay.
"I swear, this will definitely be a big deal: You must have seen the news TV station and the UHL TV broadcast of the Federation of Heroes not long ago, right?"
After seeing that the other party neither refused nor agreed, Tuo Xu felt that there might be a way to do this?
In fact, if he could do this business alone, he would never find Renault to cooperate! If he could eat alone, how could he find someone to share it with?
It's a pity that the target's power seems to be a little stronger this time, maybe it will be a bit tricky?
Therefore, after much thought, he reluctantly approached Renault again. In Tosh's opinion, Renault, a wanted criminal in the empire, was relatively reliable and trustworthy, and he was not very likely to take advantage of others. That's why he planned to join forces again and do this together!
"The Federation of Heroes..."
Renault, who had never expected this to happen, was a little surprised.
How dare you ask yourself this question about this promise? Doesn't the other party know that their Hyperion was on the planet Haven a month ago? Does he really not know that he has some relationship with the Federation of Heroes?
So, you might as well listen and see what the hell this bastard is planning? !
"You're talking about that news... We just watched the replay, but so what? Does this have anything to do with me?"
Renault pretended to be indifferent and asked the other party with a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Just watch it!"
Since the other party knows about this, it saves him the trouble of asking for permission.
"Because, I just received a piece of information! A piece of information that an Aglian secretly sold to me: The Federation of Heroes, they have a large amount of high-energy crystals and high-energy gas on the planet Haiwen! That amount is simply too much Beyond your imagination! Brother, I think you should also know that those things, those crystals, they are money! A lot of money! Countless money!"
Tosh whispered to Renault in a trembling tone while making exaggerated gestures with his hands.
This piece of information was contacted by a money-hungry Aglia man today and sold to him. There are pictures and the truth! The Federation of Heroes has established several large storage warehouses on the ground of Star Haven, which is definitely worth the risk!
Once he succeeds and steals part of the high-energy crystals and gases, he can be guaranteed to enjoy wealth for tens or even hundreds of years! There simply is no better deal and more profitable deals than this!
"Okay... Can I take the liberty to ask, do you know what our Hyperion did a month ago?"
Renault was a little curious. Did the other party really not know that he had a fight with the protoss on Star Haven a month ago and had friendship with those Federation of Heroes? Coupled with Dr. Hansen’s reputation, it’s impossible for him to raid Haiwen Star, right?
Therefore, he was very puzzled, how could this promise dare to talk to him about this kind of robbery? Why did he dare to come to him for partnership? !
"Your Hyperion? A month ago?!"
Tuoshi didn't know why Renault mentioned this matter at this time.
"A month ago... Oh! You mean, that shit where you robbed a military train on the Imperial planet Tarsonis and were hunted down? Hey! Man! What's that shit worth?"
"Please believe me, Brother Renault, as long as you and I work together to do this, it will be enough for you to eat and drink for several years!"
Tosh suddenly remembered a piece of information that had been circulated recently: Renault and the others raided the broken planet of Santanis and robbed some of the excavations transported by Mengsk's military train. Later, it was said that they were also captured by the Terran Empire military fleet Crazy pursuit for a long time?
Now, the other party has probably just gotten rid of the entanglement of the imperial army, right? This Renault is really good. The more he goes back, the more he goes back, and he even ends up trying to grab some excavated garbage...
"Very good! It seems you also know..."
Hearing the other party's reaction, Renault suddenly understood. It seemed that he didn't know that he had been to Haven Star?
Thinking about it, besides the person involved, it seems that not many people knew about the fight with the protoss in Haiwen Star? At that time, the protoss fleet blocked all external communications from Haiwen Star!
As for the Aglian who sold information to Tuosh, if the bastard didn't specifically talk about it, is it really possible that Tuosh didn't know about it?
"To be honest, Tuosh... I don't think it would be a good idea to attack the capital administrative star of a force! Even if it is just a newly emerged force..."
After knowing that the other party had this idea, Renault finally understood what the big deal the other party was talking about was.
He actually wants to raid Hawen Star and steal the energy stocks of the Federation of Heroes? This is really interesting...
Moreover, what’s even more interesting is: the other party doesn’t even know that he has a relationship with the Federation of Heroes on Star Haven? This is really interesting...
From this point of view, the second and fifth son of the Aglia who sold the information to Entrust probably did not tell in the intelligence that he was on the planet Haiwen at that time and fought side by side with the Federation of Heroes against the protoss, right?
"Of course I know this is not a good idea! However, as far as I know, the opponent's space fleet only has five old-model heavy battlecruisers! Moreover, they also have to patrol a star field in Nuoda. , there will definitely be a lot of loopholes! If my ghost men cooperate with your Hyperion, then we will have a great chance of success!"
Soon, after Tuosh saw Renault's expression that seemed to be moving, he told his general plan.
He planned to let Renault's Hyperion, which has the ability to jump in battle, to attract and entangle the five old battlecruisers in three days. Then, his ghost troops would take a transport ship and a A medium-sized fast cruiser directly forcibly raided Haiwen Star, grabbed enough energy crystals and gas warehouses before the opponent's battleships returned to defense, and then ran away!
Tuosh believed that as long as Renault could help him entangle the five battleships for twenty minutes or even ten minutes, then they would be able to obtain huge wealth that they could never imagine in their lifetimes!
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that Tuo Xu feels that this transaction, in which the risk is proportional to the income, is well worth their while!
"I'm very sorry! Man... We on the Hyperion have more important things to do now and need to go to the Port of the Dead, so... I don't want to get involved in this big deal of yours..."
Renault pretended to think about it seriously, and then declined the other party with a look of regret.
"Furthermore, as you know, we just did a job on the planet Tarsonis not long ago. We have been able to make ends meet lately, we are not short of money, and we don't want to conflict with other forces. So, we I want to avoid the limelight for a while..."
Renault knew that he was talking about this, and he believed that this promise would wink and give up.
"That's it...that's really a pity! It seems that I can only do this good business by myself! Originally, you could also make a lot of money from it..."
Come here with good fortune and return with bad news!
I originally promised a win-win cooperation that I thought would be a sure win, but I didn't expect it to end like this? If Tuo Xu doesn't feel disappointed in his heart, that's absolutely impossible!
"I'm really sorry. We have more important things to do now and go to the Port of the Dead, so I wish you good luck?"
After saying that, Renault directly turned off the other party's communication without waiting for the other party's reply.
"hehe……"
This is really interesting...
For this entrustment, the intelligence work was not done well, so he hurriedly wanted to cooperate with him. What big deal did he want to do? ! He must be crazy, right? You actually want to find trouble with that Federation of Heroes?
Don't they know that, strictly speaking, even the arrogant Star Spirits and the opposing team's Golden Fleet have been scared away by the Federation of Heroes?
As for the fact that the Hero Federation has a lot of energy crystals in stock, Renault knows better than anyone else! Now in the warehouse on his Hyperion, the high-energy crystals and gases that are enough for them to use for several years were obtained from transactions with the other party!
However, Renault has never thought of trying to trick the other party!
Think about the opponent's weird and powerful melee marines, and then think about the incredible means of attacking the protoss mothership, the strange bear that tore apart the protoss archon, and the technology that also has individual teleportation?
So, in general, Renault, who knows the details of the other party, definitely doesn't want to go into this muddy water with that bastard Tosh...
Furthermore, thinking about Dr. Hansen, the beautiful academic who had a crush on him and failed to confess her love, Renault felt that at that time, although he clearly rejected her, he was not scumbag enough to turn around. He turned his back on others and committed bandit behavior such as raiding Haiwen Planet and robbing other people's planets, right?
Therefore, after walking a few steps in the corridor of the battleship and thinking for a while, Renault simply took out his communicator again and used an encrypted channel to directly send a message to Ariel Han who was far away in Haven Star. Sen, sent a message requesting a confidential call.
"..."
"Hello? Doctor? Yes! It's me, Jim Raynor... No, no, no! Don't misunderstand me. I actually have other more important things to ask you..."
"Yes! Here's the thing. I just got a very important piece of information here: a group of interstellar bandits who do all kinds of evil and have no conscience. They plan to raid your planet Haiwen in the next three or two days! That's right! The enemy is a group of invisible ghosts!"
"You should remember that promise, right? That's right! It's the bad guy who used to wander around and hide in the Hyperion all day long! So, you'd better try to inform the top brass of the Federation of Heroes. Let them be prepared in advance..."
"Hahaha...Dear doctor, you know me better!"
"That's right! I'll price this piece of information at one thousand now... No! I want three thousand standard units of high-energy crystal! You ask their group to prepare the goods first. Next time, if I pass by Haiwen Star, I will Just stop by and get it! Yes, that’s it!”
"Okay, okay...I know"
"Next time, when I go to Haiwen Star, I will definitely remember to pay a special visit to you! Okay, then it's settled..."
"If nothing happens, then I'll hang up first? Okay, okay... Goodbye!"
No matter what, Renault felt that he and that Tuo Xu were definitely not the same person!
So, Renault didn't feel any burden at all when it came to tipping off former teammates!
Which girl is closer to me, Tosh or Ariel Hansen? You can know this with your toes, right?
Look, how good it is now? He could easily earn 3,000 standard units of high-energy crystals without having to send a single soldier or offend the untouchable Federation of Heroes. Where could he find such a good deal?
"Haha... In this case, things will definitely be more interesting, right?"
After turning off the communicator, Renault's mood suddenly became more comfortable.
It seems that he can go to the bar and drink a few glasses of fine wine, and then take a comfortable nap? As for that promise... Anyway, he has long disliked the other party. Now that he has the opportunity to trick the other party, why not do it?
It would be even better if the opponent fell directly on Haiwen Star and lost his life!
