Jim Renault has been in a really good mood these past two days.
Their actions in the past few days were shocking!
Not only did he successfully raid the Imperial Weapons Research Institute on the planet Valhalla, but he also successfully concealed it from everyone and secretly obtained Odin, the giant robot in the Thor Project.
Subsequently, the huge war weapon Odin was transported to the capital Xingkha by the imperial army who was kept in the dark for an exhibition in order to demonstrate the illustrious martial arts of their Emperor Mengsk!
But what the other party never expected was that the Odin robot planned by Thor, the terrifying weapon they were proud of, would be controlled by Tychus who was working with Renault?
Then, naturally, the street orders started to go crazy and Odin went on a rampage, leaving the Empire's capital guards to reap the consequences. They were defeated in their own territory by the war weapons they made...
In the end, Renault and others finally succeeded in taking over the UNN TV station and spread all the evidence of Mengsk's crimes.
In the next few days, Renault and the others saw everything they wanted to see: under the ironclad evidence, Emperor Mengsk was overwhelmed and speechless to argue!
The angry imperial people also began to take to the streets to protest against the atrocities committed by Emperor Mengsk!
There are also some colonial administrative stars that are affiliated with the empire and have begun to openly declare their independence from the empire's jurisdiction and complete autonomy!
What's more, those soldiers and fleets whose relatives died at the poisonous mouth of the Tarsonis swarm have raised the banner of rebellion, and let the war against Mengsk begin in Mengsk. The territory of the newly created Tyranid Empire started to burn...
"So, Matt, do you still want to continue attacking Mengsk?"
In the bridge, after just reading a report about the riots in the capital of Korhar and Mengsk's distress, Renault turned to Matt with interest and asked.
"No! Sir! We can take a break first. Now, we should start focusing on the bug problem!"
Matt feels that everything must be reversed, and haste makes waste!
Now, they had just given Mengsk a heart-wrenching punch. After the raid on Korhal, they should have been quiet for a while and let the content they sent out continue to ferment. This was better than continuing to do anything else. Comes much more efficiently!
If the Ranger forces of the Hyperion continue to get involved in this muddy water at this juncture and attack or embarrass Mengsk again, they may very well give others a chance. They may really be spreading rumors to slander the other party. And people who do everything possible.
In this case, it may have a very bad impact on their career!
"That's right, Matt!"
"Compared to Mengsk, the swarms are our biggest enemy! If one day Kerrigan's swarms kill us all, then the freedom we fight for will become meaningless. !”
Nodding, Renault was very satisfied with the clear head of Matt, the captain and friend. He would definitely be able to become a good leader in the future.
Yes, Mengsk is really worried now and putting out fires everywhere, but Renault still feels that the biggest threat to mankind should be the swarms that are eyeing the swarm. It is Kerrigan who was transformed into the swarm blade queen and conquered human planets everywhere. !
If humans are busy fighting among themselves and neglect to monitor those bugs, it is very likely that when any of the parties they fight wins the final victory, the threat of genocide from the bug swarms to humans will also follow!
At that time, no matter who it is, the victory they get will be nothing more than a moon in the water or a flower in the mist, and everything they get will become meaningless!
drop! drop!
"Well?"
Just when Renault was about to ask Matt what he and others should do next, he found that the communicator on the bridge suddenly rang at this time.
"Sir! This is a communication request from the medium-sized fast cruiser that I was entrusted with. Do you need to connect it now?"
After looking at the channel-specific identification code on the communication console, Matt couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Why is it Tuo Xu again? Isn't he still dead?"
After discovering that the other party might be Tuo Xu, not only Matt was surprised, but even Renault himself was shocked!
Calculating the time, it stands to reason that at this time, the eagle dog of the Mengsk Empire and the ace Nova of the ghost agent should have raided Tosh's Avnos base and killed Tosh, right?
Could it be that the other party missed again and Tuo Xu ran away again?
Or maybe that Nova simply didn't succeed and let Tuo Xu kill her directly? !
"Now things are getting a little bad..."
No matter what the outcome was, it was not what Renault wanted to see.
They don't want to have to worry about the double assassination of a ghost agent and a ghost agent while they are concentrating on dealing with bugs or Mengsk. In that case, even the lives of Renault will not be enough!
"Sir?!"
Matt looked at the hesitant Renault, and then at the communication signal that was constantly ringing with urging, and had no choice but to ask again.
"Forget it, Matt, just take it over..."
Now that things are messed up, what else can be done? Then we can only face it bravely!
Sizzling...
After the communication channel was connected, the pop-up holographic screen flickered for a moment, and then clearly showed the scene on the other side.
"Hi! How are you? Middle-aged uncle, we meet again!"
To the surprise of Reynold, Matt and Tychus in the bridge: what appeared in front of the communication screen was not the hateful and vicious head of Tuo Xu, but a blond and blue-eyed little loli?
This, is actually the little girl head of the Federation of Heroes whom they had a chance encounter with? That scary little girl who grabbed a battleship with her bare hands and let a bear tear apart an archon? !
Moreover, what surprised them even more was: the two brothers, Tuo Xu and Nova, who wanted to kill each other, were standing side by side behind the little girl's chair with expressionless faces.
Is there something wrong with this style of painting? !
"..."
Renault didn't bother to greet the little girl Head of State. He first turned his head and looked at the equally shocked Matt next to him, and then looked at the communication interface again.
"Okay, okay, hello to you... Your Excellency, Head of State Anne! Can I take the liberty of asking first, who are the two people behind you...?"
After the initial shock, Renault frowned and awkwardly asked Anne about the two cold-blooded killers who were squinting behind her and glaring at him at the same time.
One of them is the leader of the ghost gang, the most powerful cosmic bandit; and the other is Mengsk's henchman, the super ace among the ghost agents!
Unfortunately, Renault happened to offend these two people at the same time!
And, the most important thing is: None of these two people have died until now? No matter what happened, he was still standing side by side behind Anne, the little head of state? What happened to them both?
Could it be that they had settled their differences and made peace with each other? Stop making such jokes!
"Eh...were you just talking about the two of them?"
After looking at the two subordinates behind her who were also glaring at the communication interface, Anne blinked and probably understood something.
"They are all my subordinates who were captured recently. Look, am I super powerful?"
As soon as she talked about this, little Annie felt particularly happy.
Who allows those bastards Galen to say that they, the most powerful ghost agent of the Hope, are the polished commanders?
Look! Now, she doesn't have to bother cultivating and training herself, she can easily get the most powerful ghost agent, the most powerful ghost agent and a large group of ghost subordinates!
Little Annie is the best at this kind of business of catching coolies and recruiting young men with nothing to show for it!
"Catch, captured men?!"
Renault was a little puzzled. Can such a thing as his subordinates be captured and used at will?
He looked carefully at the two people standing behind little Annie. They all had rifles and sharp knives on their waists and behind their backs. Is this little girl so big-hearted? Can the subordinates who have just been captured be so confident in using them like this?
Isn't she afraid that the other party will suddenly rebel and shoot her from behind? Or, simply use it hard and directly insert the white knife into the red knife or something like that?
"Your Excellency, Head of State Anne, I think it would be better for you to be more cautious in your handling of the two of them, if possible?"
"Both of them are villains who kill without blinking an eye, executioners! I think it's better for you to put them in prison and train them slowly? After all, these two people are really too dangerous!"
Anyway, they had offended the other party severely, so Renault didn't hide it, spoke ill of the other party directly in front of the other party, and directly suggested that the little head of the Hero Federation lock up those two people.
Of course, it would be even better if they were executed directly and given a bullet to each of them, so that they could be eliminated once and for all!
As for the gnawing glances directed at him by the two people opposite him, who wished he could be eaten alive, he didn't mind at all. After all, the two sides were still countless light years apart.
"Oh...you don't have to worry about such a small thing!"
"The Lun family is particularly good at persuading others to submit! Now they have to do whatever I ask them to do, and they will never dare to be petty!"
After roughly understanding the general meaning of the unruly bearded man opposite, Anne waved her little hand without any concern.
"Is he really that powerful? You can actually convince them to submit to you? Are you still submissive?"
Renault felt that this matter was very unreliable just by hearing it!
One is a ghost agent leader who does all kinds of evil and is proficient in burning, killing, looting and looting; the other is a ghost agent who kills people profusely and only obeys Mengsk's orders, what a bastard!
No need to use equipment to test, he Renault can know: those two guys must be some strong-minded people, and will never be easily shaken by anyone's verbal persuasion or punishment to their own beliefs!
This is just like Renault himself. If someone wants to convince himself to submit to Mengsk, not to rebel, and to go back to his hometown early to marry a wife and have children, do you think he will directly pull out the large-caliber guy from his waist and hit the other person's body with a blow? shuttle?
"That's right! The Lun family is so disgusting!"
Waving her little fist happily, Annie looked proud.
Her persuasion skills are SS+ level! Her eloquence is unparalleled in the world. If she wanted to, she could easily capture a large number of subordinates for her own use!
(…)
(My little master, if you had not directly extracted their souls to forcefully sign a magic contract when persuading them, what you just said would definitely be more convincing...
——Sighing somewhat sympathetically, Tibbers exposed his master's shortcomings mercilessly in private. Would he not know things that others didn't know?
At that time, whether it was "persuading" the promise or "persuading" the Nova, its owner was too lazy to say a word, but he just took out other people's souls and then forcibly Those who stamped their seals on the magic contract were not even given the slightest chance to choose! )
"..."
Sensing that her little bear seemed to be speaking ill of herself, Annie lowered her head slightly and glanced at it pretending to be casual.
(…)
"Hmm... I don't know what method you used to make them obedient like this? But since you are not worried about their rebellion, then I won't say anything more!"
After once again looking at the two agents standing behind the little girl who were still glaring at him, and then at the confident little girl Head of State, Renault nodded and stopped entangled in the matter.
He had seen a little bit of this little girl's abilities on Haven Star, and she did have some weird tricks. From this point of view, maybe he should pay more attention to her and stay away from her in the future?
Is it best to try not to have close contact with the other person directly face to face?
"Okay, let's get down to business now! Dear Head of State Anne, do you have anything important to do when you come to us this time?"
Now Renault doesn't want to care about what method the other party used to deal with the two ghosts so obediently. He just wants to know: At this time, when the little girl head of the Federation of Heroes found him, what on earth did she do? What do you want to do?
Is it a military technology transaction? !
But it seems that there is nothing worthy of the other party's peeps here, right?
Whether it was some military equipment or the Hyperion's sensitive technology, as long as it was sellable, the other party was interested in it, or it didn't exist, he sold them all when he was on Haiwen Star! There should be nothing that the other party deserves to buy again, right?
No, it seems... there seems to be something new on my side that the other party may be interested in!
"Could it be that you are interested in Odin, which we just obtained a while ago, and want to buy its production technology? You are really well-informed!"
If this is really the case, Renault feels that it does not mean that it cannot be sold, but the price must be carefully discussed before discussing?
As for energy, they are not in short supply right now! The other party still owes me a batch of 3,000 units of crystals!
And if it's money, then this Federation of Heroes, which has just arrived in the Koprulu Star District, can't afford much money, right? Therefore, this one is also PASS!
Not to mention other supplies, Renault would not be so stupid as to trade military technology for some daily necessities or ordinary mineral supplies that can be replenished anywhere!
Tsk! It seems that we still need to discuss this matter with Matt when we have time...
"What Odin? What is that? I don't care about this! If you want to sell something, go find Adjutant Doug and the others! I'm looking for you now because I have another more important thing!"
Little Annie never cared about trivial matters such as buying and selling things or trading technology.
Therefore, when she heard the other party talking about these boring things, she waved her hands impatiently. She didn't sneak out this time for these insignificant chores.
"Please tell me!"
Renault nodded, indicating that the other party could continue.
If some technical drawings that are useless to him can be exchanged for everything he wants, there is nothing more cost-effective than this. If necessary, he does not need to find this little girl, Renault will definitely contact Shanghai Wenxing.
"I heard about it. Aren't you going to oppose Mengsk's Tyranid Empire? We are also preparing to deal with them! Otherwise, how about we work together?"
After learning how big the Mengsk Empire was and how many planets there were, little Annie, who was extremely bored, took the promise she had captured and prepared to go out and subvert the Mengsk Empire.
And a few days ago, when she saw people like Renault easily causing huge turmoil to the opponent's huge empire, she hurriedly came to the door, planning to take advantage of the opponent.
"Oh? If we are going to deal with Mengsk, I have no reason to object! Because, I can't wait to stuff my pistol into his vagina and pull the trigger hard!"
"However, I am here and I must first ask a few things clearly: Why do you, the Federation of Heroes, do this? What is your purpose? What good plan do you have?"
Although he said he didn't mind, Renault was secretly wary.
The thing he least wanted to see happened now...
Look, when people like me took action to make Mengsk's regime that had just been established a few years ago begin to become unstable, at this perfect time, this Federation of Heroes, this foreign human force, they were also preparing to attack Mengsk. The Tyranid Empire of Skok is plotting to seize power?
And until now, Kerrigan's swarm of insects are still raging everywhere, and both humans and protoss are suffering terribly. If one thing goes wrong, the Koprulu Sector will most likely be doomed!
Therefore, Renault is not opposed to more people rising up to resist the tyrant Mengsk. However, she hopes to control the degree of resistance within a certain range and not to cause too much damage to human power!
Renault is still cautious about this newly emerged Federation of Heroes. If it is a normal transaction, he will definitely be fine! But if they wanted to unite to overthrow the Mengsk Empire, he would be a little embarrassed.
Who knows if they are the same as Mengsk? But don’t just drive away a hungry wolf with your front legs, but a more ferocious tiger comes from behind, then you will have great fun!
"Why do we do this? Of course it's because it's fun!"
Without thinking, little Annie spoke her mind directly.
When she thought about how she had gone from being the head of a small human force on the planet Haven to being the head of a large country with hundreds of billions of people in the entire Krupp sector, and directly ruling countless colonial planets, she just thought about it, It’s just a little bit exciting!
(…)
(Tibbers, who was in Anne's arms, suddenly felt that with this sentence alone, he would probably fail to persuade Renault to cooperate!)
"As for the goal... that is, I want to be the head of the entire Koprulu sector! This goal must be achieved! Whoever dares to disobey my orders, I will beat him up! Whoever dares to oppose me, I will burn him!"
(…)
(Tibbers suddenly had the urge to cover his face again. Why did this terrible mistress of his own family say everything that should and should not be said? Very good! Now, as long as the Renault opposite is not a brain If you get pinched by the door panel, this matter will definitely be a no-brainer!)
"As for the plans... there are already one or two, but if you don't cooperate with me, I will never tell you! What do you think? Do you want to cooperate with us?"
"Of course, as long as you obey, I won't treat you badly!"
I don't know if she realized that she had made a mistake in the previous two sentences, or maybe she felt the resentment coming from Tibbers. At this time, Anne kept an eye on it and didn't say anything.
As for the plan, after she caught which Nova and knew that the other person was the ace of the Mengsk Empire's ghost troops and a senior agent with very high authority, she had two less mature plans.
One of them requires the cooperation of the bearded uncle Reno across the street. She has not yet figured out how to implement it.
The other one is much simpler and more brutal, and it will be very effective! However, this will require the use of this ghost agent who is controlled by himself and is absolutely loyal to him - Nova! Of course, this also involves Tuo Xu and his ghosts.
"..."
Reno didn't answer immediately. He just looked at the little girl opposite the head of state in silence.
The other party's words just now made him feel that this little girl seemed to be on the same road as Mengsk? !
And burn anyone who dares to object?
I guess even that bastard old Mengsk wouldn't dare to say this directly, right?
When that old bastard wants to eliminate dissidents, he will use some subtle methods or send ghost agents to assassinate them to make them disappear, and he never dares to show it openly!
Moreover, judging from the behavior of this head of state Anne, the other party is just a little girl whose thoughts are not fully mature. Renault even vaguely feels that if it is really this little girl who rules the entire Pruk sector. , taking the opponent will definitely make this star area a mess, right?
That is certain and certain, right?
"I'm sorry, dear Head of State Anne. We, the Hyperion, are now going to investigate the threat related to insects. There is really no way to cooperate with you anymore. I am very sorry for this..."
After thinking about a few key points, Renault felt that the little girl was unreliable, so he politely rejected the other party's request for cooperation.
On the one hand, it's because this little girl always makes him feel unreliable and not like a wise king; on the other hand, even if the two sides really want to cooperate, it should be the other party's mature and prudent alliance executives who will cooperate with him. Negotiation, right?
If it is this little girl, there are many words that he would not be comfortable saying. Even if he does say them, I am afraid that the other party may not understand them...
"Hmph! It's so boring! If you don't want to, just pull him down!"
After saying a lot of words, she didn't expect to get such a result, which made little Annie angry.
So, she stood up from the chair angrily. Under the astonished eyes of the other party, she didn't say any more polite words. She directly stretched out her little hand, slapped it hard on the console and at the same time Communication between both parties was turned off.
"..."
"..."
On the Hyperion opposite the communication, Renault and Matt looked at each other again and suddenly felt that it would be a wise choice for them not to cooperate with the head of the Federation of Heroes?
Look at the other party's current behavior of falling out at the slightest disagreement. If they really cooperate, they might cause some trouble!
"Alright, Matt! Let's get ready to sail!"
Now, Renault's mood suddenly improved again.
In any case, he had given Mengsk a hard blow, and at the same time, he also eliminated the assassination threats from Tosh and Nova?
————
The next day, still at the Avnos base, in this small port of Tosh's old nest, two battleships were moored. The larger one was the one where Nova was originally captured by Galen and the others. The warship is now equipped with enough crew members and is ready to sail!
The other one, which appeared to be slightly smaller, was the medium-sized fast cruiser entrusted to him.
Now, Tosh is sending off Nova, who has been gloomy since she regained all her memories.
Both Nova and his entrustment have now accepted the assignment from the Head of State Anne and are ready to carry out the overthrow of the Mengsk regime personally formulated by the Head of State!
As for the Head of State Anne and her twenty elite Head of State Guards, they are no longer in the small Avnos base at this moment. They all passed through something said to be a magic teleporter. In an instant Just returned to Haiwen Star...
When I think of the scene when the portal was opened, two places separated by countless light years were connected by a small door made by a little girl without any equipment. This kind of god-like method made me realize on the spot. The spectators Tosh and Nova felt a deep despair.
Maybe, he and Nova will never be able to escape each other's control from now on?
The so-called soul magic contract that is imprinted in their souls is, no matter what, much more terrifying than Mengsk's memory-cleaning device...
"Nova?"
Looking at Nova who was silent and preparing to board his battleship, Tuosh was a little hesitant to speak, but he didn't know what to say specifically.
"..."
When Tosh thought that Nova would definitely leave here without saying a word, what surprised him was that the other party stood still at the hatch.
"Toshi...you should have killed me right then..."
"You should also know that I would rather be manipulated by Mengsk than have all my memories restored..."
After saying these two sentences, Nova stopped saying anything and walked straight along the ladder to her battleship.
As the metal hatch slowly closed, the large warship finally started its engine and slowly turned. After leaving the port for a while, it suddenly "swish" and began to jump, disappearing in this area in an instant. within the cosmic region.
"Believe me, Nova! I will find a way to help you, I will definitely..."
Looking up at the empty starry sky where the other party disappeared, Tuosh took a deep breath and walked resolutely to his ship.
Now, after seeing off Nova who had become his comrade-in-arms again, he promised to set off to carry out the instructions given to him yesterday by that little girl, the Head of State, who they could not disobey.
The mission he entrusted to Xu and Nova is crucial to the federation's follow-up plan, and there is no room for any surprises!
"Mengsk..."
I really never expected that I would take revenge on your empire in this way?
While silently thinking about various things, and letting the hatch behind him close, Tosh and his fast cruiser quickly disappeared into the star field of the Avnos base where there were not many defenders. .
