The planet Mistav IV is the main weapons and industrial distribution center of the Tyranids, and it is also the most important military and heavy industrial area.
This planet is a professional heavy industrial park, mainly responsible for the production of various types of heavy equipment required by the Tyranids: such as various types of tanks, large war robots, heavy siege tanks, military transport ships, various types of fighters, battleships and even For main battleships, heavy battlecruisers, etc.
It can be said that the planet Mistav IV is one of the most important military locations of the Tyranid Empire!
Because of this, a mixed garrison fleet consisting of a main Behemoth-class battleship as the flagship and dozens of various large, medium and small battleships is stationed here all year round. It is led by a member of the Mistav family who was born on this planet. The Vice-Admiral serves as the planetary defense officer and fleet commander.
This can be said to be one of the areas Mengsk focuses on. Almost all the important generals at the top are his direct descendants! Even now, when almost most of the star regions are experiencing some degree of turmoil, here, it is still as stable as a mountain, and there will never be the slightest mistake!
Anyway, this is what Emperor Mengsk and the high-ranking empire officials in the Korhal capital sector have always thought?
"Lieutenant General Mistav..."
"You are a veteran of the empire. Emperor Mengsk treats you well, right? I just don't understand. Why did you join that group of rebels to rebel? What kind of benefits can they give you? Is it worth your life to work for them? ?!”
In the space military port of Mistav, on a huge square used to stack supplies, a pale-faced major general and a group of more than a hundred military police marines were being occupied by a large number of troops at the moment. They were surrounded in the middle of the square.
However, they still hid behind simple bunkers made of metal boxes containing supplies and resisted.
Not far ahead, the holographic projection of Lieutenant General Mistav, the military commander, appeared and persuaded them to surrender. Among the surrounded people, the officer with the rank of major general finally felt desperate.
"I did not rebel against the empire, nor did I receive any benefits!"
"The military flag belonging to the Terran Empire is still flying here on Planet Mistav 4. Therefore, Major General Lance! I think you must have misunderstood something? Or, if you put down your weapons now, I can face you face to face. Let’s have a good talk?”
"Soldiers! Please believe me. As long as you hand over your weapons and surrender, everything can be discussed! Now, the matter is far from being as serious as you think. You must not be deceived by those who are interested!"
Lieutenant General Mistav, who was in the holographic projection state, looked calmly at the young general not far away opposite him, with a smile on his lips, and sincerely looked at the military police and the military police hiding behind the bunker. The major general said together.
"Shut up! Mistav!"
"At this point, you still want to deceive us soldiers who have been engaged in secret work for many years?!"
When Mistav wanted to continue to persuade, the major general roughly interrupted the other party's words using the speaker in his armored power combat suit, and secretly gave some instructions to the Marine military police behind him with gestures. .
"Bah! Don't think that I don't know, I have investigated it! The reason why you traitors who have joined forces have not rebelled immediately is that you must be waiting for someone or a common signal to act. Right? That professional manager named Tosh?!"
As soon as he talked about this, the major general named Lance looked sad and angry!
He regrets it now. He only regrets that it was too late when he received the intelligence and started to react...
This happened a few days ago. A group of merchandise salesmen from the Terrador Chamber of Commerce came to the planet Mistav IV and began to promote the magical red energy newly discovered by their chamber of commerce among the military and industrial zone executives. crystal.
Moreover, they also preached everywhere, saying how efficient they were and how rich and powerful the energy they contained was. They also deliberately released and disappeared, saying that they also had some special effects? !
Because the other party used the usual tricks of merchants, and the planet Mistav IV has actually always had business dealings with this large chamber of commerce in the Terrador sector, there are also various attempts to acquire the other party from time to time. Ore or refined metal, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, and of course he didn't take it to heart.
But how could he have imagined that he would receive a secret report two days later, saying that many high-ranking officers were conspiring to rebel and suppress lower-level officers who disobeyed orders? And they are all more or less related to the new sales manager of the chamber of commerce named Tuo Xu?
It's a pity that he didn't take it too seriously at the time, and he didn't quite believe that there would be so many high-level officers on Planet Mistav IV colluding with a businessman to conspire. After all, those officers were high-level officers and had the right to have How could money be messed up with some businessmen?
Therefore, he delayed it for another two days before quietly starting to investigate, and then the investigation turned out to be incredible!
Later, when he was about to order an in-depth investigation and immediately report the garrison commander, Lieutenant General Mistav, whom he considered the most trustworthy in the empire, he was brutally suppressed by the other party? Not only were most of his men framed and arrested on suspicion of rebellion, but even he, a major general, was restricted from going out and communicating with the outside world?
Therefore, after knowing that he was caught in a huge vortex of conspiracy, he had no choice but to forcefully lead the more than 200 military police troops that he could still control and forcibly raided the Mistav Space Station. Military port, prepare to rob a warship and escape from here, and look for opportunities to report the matter to the military police headquarters in the imperial capital!
Originally, his plan was very good and almost succeeded...
But how could he have imagined that the military police force directly under the military police, which he had always thought was very loyal and reliable, would actually be secretly betrayed by many people by those rebels?
So, when he reached the final step of raiding the military port, he was helplessly blocked by the well-prepared military...
"Major General! You don't have to worry anymore..."
"Here, as early as several days ago, the most stringent signal blocking was implemented! All signal reception and transmission are handled by dedicated personnel and intelligent brains. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for you to secretly send signals for help. possible!"
Lieutenant General Mistav, who was observing the situation from far away in his office, saw through the opponent's little trick at a glance.
This group of people actually want to delay time and try to use small communication equipment to send signals to the outside world? Don't they know that the entire planet Mistav IV has long been under the strictest signal military control in the name of exercises?
Any communication that does not go through the information center can never be transmitted, let alone the portable low-power equipment they have!
"So, surrender quickly, this is your last chance..."
After saying that, Mistav could only shake his head and waved to the troops behind his holographic projection.
Then, the imperial troops surrounding the enemy opened passages one after another, allowing several heavy siege tanks from behind to drive up and use their double-barreled 80mm plasma cannons against them. Target Major General Lance, the military police and others who were still trying to resist in the middle of the square.
"You underestimate us, Mistav! We are people who value honor above all else!"
After saying that, the major general led his men and began to fire at the armies on the opposite side, causing countless electromagnetic bullets to rub against the thick armor of the siege tanks, hitting everyone who was also wearing the imperial uniform. Marines in combat uniforms.
"Okay, then I will do as you wish..."
Sighing and looking at the metal bullets flying in front and behind him, Lieutenant General Mistav seemed to understand something. After nodding, he said nothing more.
However, when his holographic projection disappeared, the muzzles of the siege tanks let out explosive roars, and then, the flames of the electromagnetic gun shells exploded and completely flooded the supply square. The pile of simple fortifications made of metal boxes in the middle...
And when Tosh secretly regained the important Mistav weapons distribution center of the Terran Empire, on a desolate planet in the outermost part of the Terrador system, the magic battleship Head of State defeated Hyperion. After that, the medium-sized warship chasing Narud came to the planet's synchronous orbit.
"Uh... Lord Fuhrer? What should we do now? Do we need to send marines to land on the planet and capture the guy named Narud?"
Looking at the Moebius Foundation warship on the planet that had to forcefully land on the gravel dunes, Captain Plank secretly took a sip of wine, then approached his head of state and asked in a low voice.
Now their ship, the Führer, was chasing after them and was flying on the track above the opponent's landing point, closely watching every move of the battleship below.
"Capture Narud? Why do you want to capture it? It's really baffling!"
Anne glared at the old man who loved drinking angrily, then looked thoughtfully at a dark corner of the bridge, and then ordered with a smile:
"Turn on magic detection! Lock on that Narud's life signal, and then fire directly to blow them up!"
Anyway, those people below are all infected or corrupted bad guys. Anne is too lazy to catch them or kill them one by one. She can just bomb them with battleships from orbit!
Here, this desolate planet has no atmosphere, which does not affect the power of particle laser weapons or electromagnetic artillery shells, and can carry out ultra-long-distance bombing attacks in orbit without restraint.
"Okay! Your Majesty the Head of State, just take a look!"
After hearing that there was no need to land but direct artillery bombing, Gangplank's eyes lit up!
Since the Führer battleship was refitted, it has not had a chance to fire at full power! Now is the perfect time to use the fallen battleship below for actual combat training?
"Every artillery team is ready! Attention air-to-ground laser cannon team, air-to-ground plasma rapid-fire cannon team! Aim at enemy warships and any movable targets, and fire rapidly in three minutes! Prepare...fire!!!"
After receiving the order from Chief Anne, Plank laughed and walked aside, using his rough voice to directly give the order to the bombardment commander in the bridge.
Then, the moment he finished speaking, a large number of large-caliber plasma rapid-fire cannon turrets dragging red rays of light and beams of blue-white high-energy laser cannons headed downwards. Not long after they had just made an emergency landing on the ground, they were probably still there. The enemy ship, which had not recovered from the impact when landing, poured out a large amount of artillery fire!
When the high-energy laser beams of those laser cannons that were as fast as the speed of light instantly irradiated onto the enemy's hull armor, exploding and melting red holes of different sizes, the electromagnetic artillery shells that followed behind were like Like a violent storm, it hit the head directly!
In an instant, the medium-sized warship, which was the size of two football fields, was directly engulfed in flames, thick smoke, and countless dust exploded from the ground...
However, this is not the end yet, it is only the beginning!
Because the order just issued by Captain Planck was for three minutes of saturation and rapid fire!
Therefore, even when the artillery crew members thought that the enemy had been almost wiped out, they were still faithfully executing the orders and continuing to bomb the ground regardless!
Under the offensive of dozens of rapid-fire turrets of different sizes, countless electromagnetic artillery shells with red trajectories and blue-white laser beams were still attacking frantically from various gun emplacements on the belly of the Führer magic battleship for free.
Thick smoke, explosion flames, countless blown-up warship fragments, human flesh and blood, and dust all over the sky directly toss the ground of this planet as if there are waves of twelve-level storms, and even, Even the optical detection instruments on the Führer can no longer see the details of the ground and the surroundings of the battleship...
However, the situation quickly improved. After three minutes passed, the gun crew members, who were very addicted, reluctantly stopped the turrets whose muzzles were a little overloaded.
"Radar chief! Detect the situation on the ground immediately. Is Narud's life signal still there?"
Soon, since there is no atmosphere on the planet, there is no carrier or buoyancy for the dust and smoke to float in the air for a long time.
Therefore, shortly after the battleship Führer stopped attacking, the smoke, dust, powder and other substances that obscured the sight that had lost power gradually fell to the surface of the earth under the influence of the planet's own gravity, allowing those on the Führer to Everyone was able to see the current situation of the Moebius battleship.
In other words, there are no warships left on the ground.
At this moment, whether it is the optical detection instrument of the Fuhrer or the Hyperion watching the battle in the distance, they can only find a bunch of barely recognizable outlines of battleship skeletons on the surface of the planet... And its original Those armors, bulkheads and other facilities had long been completely destroyed by the horrific bombing, and were scattered scattered over an area several kilometers around the battleship...
"Eh? He's not dead yet?!"
"Is he the bad guy named Narud? A... weird old man with glowing red eyes?!"
Soon, Anne in the bridge couldn't help but exclaimed.
Because, from her own perception, she had captured the other party's life signal. It was still so strong and dazzling, and there was no trace of him looking like he was about to die!
"..."
Later, when the holographic projection of the bridge enlarged the optical image screen, other people on the bridge also discovered: above the ground, not far from the wreckage of the broken battleship, a man was covering his injured shoulder. The old man with a white beard, his eyes glowing red, was looking up at the Führer in the sky, gnashing his teeth and glaring.
"Sure enough, he's really not dead yet!"
Darius and Galen were both shocked. Under such a bombing, even they might not survive for ten seconds, right? And the old man below has such strong vitality?
Moreover, look at the opponent's body, there seems to be a faint red shield? Is this another being with extraordinary power? Is it psionic energy? Or something else?
"Sir! A high-energy reaction has been detected on the opponent's body. The intensity is equivalent to... at least eleven levels of psionic energy? Extremely dangerous!"
At this time, a radar soldier responsible for detecting energy reactions exclaimed!
After the Federation of Heroes gradually integrated with the human world in the Koprulu Sector, they gradually began to use similar equipment and the same energy detection system as the humans here.
And just now, the radar detector detected a psi energy reaction exceeding level 10 on the Narud on the ground?
"..."
After hearing this, Galen and Darius looked at each other and quickly retreated.
Just now, they originally planned to ask for orders and volunteer to teleport down to the planet, preparing to capture or chop the opponent alive! But now, when they knew that the other party turned out to be a being with at least eleven levels of psionic energy, they decisively gave in...
You know, even if Galen has the highest energy level now, in front of the human-standard energy detection equipment in the Keprulu Star District, when he explodes with all his strength, he can only exceed level eight and less than level nine at most!
"Pay attention, he has eyes on his body!"
"He is still able to survive without protective gear on a planet without an atmosphere, and his eyes are still glowing red? He is indeed a monster mixed with humans..."
"Plasma torpedo preparation, three standard ammunition, lock on the monster... launch!!!"
After seeing that the Narud was not dead, Plank frowned and ordered again, asking the Führer to launch three plasma torpedoes dedicated to the ship at the strange Narud on the ground.
This kind of plasma torpedo not only has the ability to kill with high explosions and fragments, but also has the ability to break through defenses with particle energy storms. It is most suitable for sneak attacks on large warships with shields!
And now, if he uses three of them to attack this monster with a shield, it will definitely work, right?
"Asshole! Damn humans! I, Narud, swear that one day, I will avenge all the humiliation you have inflicted on me!"
At this moment, Narud on the ground is desperate!
He had just survived a wave of bombings, and when he saw the huge battleship in the sky launching three large anti-ship torpedoes again, he could only open his mouth and curse in grief and anger.
Right now, on this desolate planet with only small rocks and sand, everywhere he looked, except for the large and small craters, there was not even a cave or crack where he could hide, so he could only Can passively stay on the ground and get bombed!
Against torpedoes that track and have super high speeds, escaping has no effect other than trying to forcibly shoot them down! And now, he didn't want to waste energy using long-range attacks, so he could only put a tough psionic shield on himself again and just watch the three incoming plasma torpedoes. Stare.
"Reporting to the commander, all three torpedoes hit!"
Soon, three ultra-high-speed penetration plasma torpedoes trailing blue tail flames hit Dr. Narud on the ground who wanted to run but had nowhere to run in less than half a minute! And at the same time, three violent plasma flame storms were exploded, directly submerging the opponent.
"Ha! This monster must die now, right?"
After seeing all the plasma torpedoes hit, Plank nodded with satisfaction, took out his bottle of wine again, and took two big sips out of joy.
It's a pity that Captain Plank was not happy for long before he was disappointed again...
When the energy storm and dust from the torpedo explosion dissipated, that Narud seemed to be alive and well! Moreover, he also turned into a twisted humanoid monster? While it was still staring viciously at the Führer in the sky with its red-gleaming and crazy eyes, it was also using its ferocious and terrifying face to open its mouth and roar silently into the sky!
Although it had successfully used its own powerful energy to save its life under the protection of the psionic shield just now, it still suffered a lot of injuries and consumed a large part of it under the terrifying plasma torpedo attack. energy of.
"Hmph! How dare you attack me?!"
Anne has noticed that the other party's spirit seems to be locked on her? It must be scolding itself, right? It must be, then, we can’t spare it!
"Plank! Do the fusion bombs and plasma torpedoes on our battleship all look the same?"
Looking at the monster that still refused to give in and dared to target her and curse her, Annie decided to give it a good look!
Then, she suddenly remembered the three torpedoes she had just launched. They seemed to be almost the same as those big firecrackers she had played with on the JNO.3 planet?
"Hmm... It seems so, right? They all use the same style of high-speed penetration rockets. It's just that the warheads and ranges are different."
In fact, all the missile weapons of the Federation of Heroes are basically the same style. The only difference is the size or the filling of the warhead?
"Master Führer, do you think...you want to use those strategic nuclear bombs to blow up this monster? This is unnecessary, right? This is too wasteful...How about we continue to attack it with plasma cannons?"
After understanding the thoughts of his little head of state, Plank swallowed in embarrassment.
There are indeed three strategic-level high-yield fusion bombs on their battleship Head of State! However, Planck never thought of using them to bomb such a monster on such a desolate planet. This was really too wasteful.
Strategic nuclear bombs should be used to deal with important places such as the enemy's large military fortresses or industrial cities! Instead of just throwing it here casually!
Furthermore, Gangplank also saw that the monster named Narud on the planet below was seriously injured and probably wouldn't last long. A few more attacks would be enough. There was no need at all. Use a strategic nuclear bomb capable of blowing up an entire piece of land on Earth to attack a single target!
"Order! Prepare three plasma torpedoes, and then launch a nuclear bomb behind them. After a countdown of twenty seconds, you must blow it up for me!"
After glancing at Gangplank, Anne ignored his suggestion at all and instead spoke directly to the adjutant responsible for delivering the attack order.
You know, she is the head of the Federation of Heroes, this battleship belongs to her, and of course the weapons on it also belong to her! She can use her own things whenever she wants, so how can she control so much?
"Yes! Sir!"
Here, the most powerful person must be Little Anne, the head of state! Therefore, the adjutant did not dare to say anything, and directly issued the latest instructions from the head of state to the missile troops at the combat positions without expression.
After everyone in the bridge was silent for twenty seconds, three plasma torpedoes were launched first, and then, they were followed by another one that looked exactly the same...
"Here we go again, these damn humans!"
Before he had time to think of a solution, he was planning to dig a hole to hide Narud. After just withstanding the three torpedoes from the previous wave, he now discovered that the damn battleship was actually launching towards him again. Four torpedoes?
This is really a rhythm that must punish him to death...
Therefore, he was forced to have no choice but to put on a psionic shield on one side, and at the same time, his hands began to gather red energy balls, and then when the torpedo flew down towards him at high speed, he suddenly pulled out the The energy group pushed up towards the sky.
If there were four torpedoes, he might not be able to withstand it! But if you knock off one or two, maybe you can survive for a while?
Soon, the red energy ball directly collided with the two torpedoes in front of them, one in front of the other, and successfully melted them!
However, he did not have the time or energy to deal with the two pieces at the back, so he could only strengthen his shield again and prepare to bear it...
Narud felt that he had to find a way to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise, sooner or later, he would be killed by the battleship above!
Now, he has not completed the mission of his master Eamon and has not resurrected a usable body in the material world for his master, so he must not die! At least, you can't die here yet!
etc! what is that?
After Narud had just withstood a plasma torpedo that exploded outside his psionic shield, before he had time to think about it, he saw another torpedo burst out with a strange and dazzling white light, and then, in the next second, He doesn't know anything anymore...
…
"..."
Renault suddenly didn't know what to say. He just felt that in the future, no matter what, he must never offend that little girl again...
"Sir..."
"I think that Dr. Narud must owe the Federation of Heroes a lot of money, and he probably doesn't want to pay it back?"
After a moment of silence, Matt suddenly spoke to Renault, who was also silent next to him.
Far away in the planet's orbit, in the bridge of the Hyperion, where the SCV engineering vehicle has been used for space operations and the partially melted armor on its back has been repaired, Matt and Renault are watching in stunned silence as they calmly turn around and leap away. The Führer battleship, and, on the surface of this unknown planet, the huge incandescent fireball covering almost half of the planet...
Matt thinks, this is just to kill one person, is it necessary to use a nuclear bomb?
Well, even if Dr. Narud is not a human being, he is a monster! But even if it is a monster, there is no need to drop a strategic fusion bomb with the equivalent of at least hundreds of millions of tons of TNT, right? !
"Alright, Matt! Let's get ready to sail!"
"At least we have two pieces of news now! One good and one bad. Do you want to hear which one first?"
After taking one last look at the huge black-red mushroom cloud that was gradually expanding on the planet, Renault pretended to be relaxed.
"Let's talk together, sir!"
Matt was clearly in no mood for jokes right now.
"The bad news is: our buyer of artifact fragments is finished! And the good news is... we have captured several unowned transport spaceships!"
Renault smiled bitterly, then turned his head and looked with piercing eyes at the transport spacecraft parked not far behind them on the other side! The crew members on those ships had already been abandoned by the Fuhrer just now, right?
Now that the business of digging up artifacts and selling them for money has fallen through, and the buyer has been killed to death without even leaving any scum, he will not stop doing anything, and simply hacks these ships of the Moebius Foundation. Forget about the giant civilian transport spacecraft!
"So, Matt! Send the crew to take over those spaceships quickly! Before their people come back..."
Hopefully, there will be something valuable on those spaceships, right?
Fumbling his chin, Renault looked at the spaceships and murmured a little in his heart. Was he afraid that his artifact business, which had lasted for several months, would end up losing all his money?
If that's the case, there will definitely be a big problem...
"Sir, this is really good news!"
After nodding, Matt also thought Renault's idea was a good one, so he quickly walked aside and began to dispatch the transport ships and related crews, intending to land on those transport ships and drive away from them!
Matt has already thought about it. If there are no valuable belongings on those ships, then they will take the spaceships and sell them on the black market! By then, I guess I can get a lot of money back?
