The Master of All Tactical Transformations
Outside the porthole is a gorgeous scene of intertwined light and darkness, with the Norad II's air and ground laser cannons and the electromagnetic cannon on the bow maintaining full firepower.
The naval guns poured out death barrages composed of orange-red laser beams at the giant shipyards and foundries surrounding the ship and several miles below. The electromagnetically accelerated kinetic energy shells triggered shocking explosions one after another.
Amidst the roar of the gun crew, there was no difference in anything. Whether it was the automatic defense cannon made of fine steel or the Confederacy soldiers who tried to use the Gauss Rifle and rocket launchers in their hands to shoot down a Confederacy flagship, whether they were steel, iron or mortal flesh, they all melted and burned under the impact of laser weapons.
Dylarian The orbital shipyard's inner ring dock space is open, like a giant cave made of steel frames and alloy decks. Each tunnel entrance on the spherical wall leads to a large dock or a docking port for warships. Each entrance is guided by a signal light. It looks like the entrance to the densely spaced but regularly spaced nests of cave birds.
From time to time, a plane speeds past Norad II and heads into the distance. Korhal Revolutionary Army Fleets fighter planes and Confederacy fighter planes chase each other inside the orbital shipyard, like dancing blades.
Bright light spots accompanied by the roar of violent explosions, huge light spots and dark brown scratches can also be clearly seen on the spherical inner wall of the orbital shipyard with a dark gray coating.
"Lieutenant Colonel Raynor has occupied the main facilities of Port B, and our navigators have taken over six Behemoth-class Battlecruisers," the Umojan military adviser of Augustus reported.
"Warfield Colonel's Steel Justice met Confederacy The interception of the Wraith fleet." The consultant spoke very fast but was able to ensure that others clearly understood every word and sentence he said, "But his men forcibly landed at the D port dock, and the progress is going smoothly. The garrison in the Dylarian orbital shipyard is vulnerable."
"Tell the commanders to fight quickly. Seize as many available warships as possible, and the rest, even the ships that have just left the factory, must be destroyed immediately." Augustus ordered.
"Before that, let's destroy and plunder wantonly. Don't leave any usable weapons to our enemies, otherwise Confederacy will use them on your relatives!" He said, "Remember my order, you are not allowed to fire on workers and civilians unless necessary."
Augustus's voice was always so calm. In the past, you could hear some joy, anger, sorrow, and joy in his words, but now the subordinates around him can only feel the same emotion contained in his words-firmness. Everyone should know that Augustus·Mengsk's orders cannot be doubted.
Only Ghost operative Sarah·Kerrigan next to Augustus could feel the other emotions beneath the strong appearance. The ghost with fiery red hair wanted to reach out and hold Augustus's hand and squeeze his fingers, but she gave up in the end and just intertwined her slender hands.
Below the Norad II, the Revolutionary Army troops that landed on the dock were fighting against the hastily assembled defense forces.
Only one-third of the elite troops under Augustus are wearing Power Armor. Even if their enemies are just a group of Confederacy Fleets soldiers who are undergoing training in the shipyard, the battle scene is still extremely bloody.
Accelerated electromagnetically to several times the speed of sound, the spikes Spike Bullet and hollow-point bullets turned the entire battlefield into a bloody slaughterhouse, with flesh and blood flying everywhere and organs flowing across the battlefield.
Every ten minutes or so, one or even several Confederacy and Wraith fleets sail out from the tunnel that connects the entire orbital shipyard, including many large destroyers and interceptors.
There were explosions, cannons and the roar of Electromagnetic Rifle everywhere. The Norad II's optics and sensors locked onto the Behemoth-class Battlecruiser and giant troop carriers lying in the dock one after another. These unfinished warships either collapsed from the middle or became a pile of scrap metal in a chain reaction-like explosion.
It is foreseeable that the Confederacy Navy would spend unimaginable money even if it wanted to repair these ships.
The battle continued, and at 15:36 standard time, a Behemoth-class Battlecruiser, a Confederacy, finally got rid of the interception of the Korhal Revolutionary Army Fleets fighter group and jumped into Port A where the Norad II was located.
The two battleships immediately began to bombard each other, and the barrage intertwined, but for a while neither one could do anything to the other, and the laser cannon team was unable to penetrate the armor of the enemy ship in a short period of time. In this era when Yamato Cannon has not yet been installed with Fleets, the confrontation between battlecruisers and battlecruisers is far from reaching the level where a fatal blow is possible.
"Assault team, Tychus, report your position immediately." Augustus said in the communication channel with the landing force, "Let those warships take off as soon as possible."
"This is the first team of Sterling Strikers. We are heading towards the bridge and central control room of a Behemoth-class Battlecruiser. So far we have not encountered any blocking force." Corporal Faraday said.
"Following orders, we did not shoot at those workers in the shipyard."
"Very good." Augustus was very satisfied with Faraday's efficiency. Although he understood that Confederacy would definitely portray the rebels as butchers who caused massacres, Revolutionary Army was not a terrorist after all.
"I've kicked this piece of scrap metal's ass hard, and it will start to move soon." Tychus cursed and said, "Quickly move, you loser!"
Augustus could hear the sound of steel clashing in the Tychus communication channel, and he could already imagine Tychus kicking the console hard while operating the control system.
Tychus is not a brainless idiot. He is actually very smart. It is not difficult for him to drive various mechas and spaceships. After receiving systematic training, Tychus can even drive Hyperion for a spin.
When the battlecruiser driven by Tychus slowly lifted off into the air crookedly but without losing momentum, Augustus could clearly hear the rampant laughter of Finley.
"Haha--old Tychus also drove the big guy--"
Immediately afterwards, Augustus saw two more Behemoth-class Battlecruiser slowly taking off, and only then did a slight smile appear on his face. The armor of these battleships had just been installed, and the assembly numbers were still left on them. No color or printing was added to the painting, and the surface was still the cold gray of stainless steel alloy.
Not long after, Raynor and Warfield also received good news.
Warfield was somewhat unlucky. There were only two Behemoth-class Battlecruisers in the dock where he was, but his people discovered nine Leviathan-class battlecruisers that were being dismantled and successfully launched seven of them into the sky.
On the battlefield, Raynor's luck was as good as ever. He captured eight Behemoth-class Battlecruisers and at the same time took away more than a hundred Wraiths parked in the hangar.
With the arrival of the battlecruiser, the problem of the crew was also solved. The batch of recruits recruited by Augustus at Deadman's Port were immediately put to use. A total of four recruitments recruited about 80,000 physically strong soldiers.
These people have been proven by Kerrigan that they are not spies of Terran Confederacy. In addition, villains and people with hidden anti-social personalities have also been eliminated. Although the revolutionary consciousness of the remaining people is not very high, they are still quite enthusiastic about the revolution Confederacy.
"Notify Fleets." Augustus said after all the battlecruisers took off, "Get rid of your enemies immediately and jump to the coordinates sent by Norad II."
At this time, the unknown transition signals in Dylar System suddenly increased significantly, and the Confederacy navy responded immediately in less than two hours. The Dylarian orbital shipyard is not far from the border area where Terran Confederacy and Kel-Morian Combine confront each other, and Fleets, which is cruising in the edge galaxy, will soon be able to transition there.
If this is not the case, then Augustus will definitely occupy this shipyard for a period of time at all costs instead of just grabbing it and running away.
At this moment, the Norad II was still entangled by the Confederacy battlecruiser and was unable to escape. It was Tychus who came to the rescue. He and another battlecruiser came to support the Norad II, forcing the Confederacy battleship back and forcing it to retreat.
Suddenly, with a burst of electrical noise in the communication, the distress signal from the ground forces was connected to the bridge of the Norad II.
"Team 7 called Norad II, our transport ship was shot down"
"Team 4 calls for backup, we are trapped on the ground."
"There is a seriously injured person here. Please, someone come and save him."
Augustus's adjutant and Umojan's military adviser looked at him at the same time, waiting for his order.
Revolutionary Army sent fifteen teams including pilots, engineers and escorting soldiers to Dylarian Shipyards. Each team had about 120 people, in order to ensure that they could seize the battlecruiser as quickly as possible and keep the ship's systems running at a minimum.
However, in the actual situation, several teams suffered heavy losses as soon as they landed. Only a few teams successfully completed their missions, and hundreds of the Revolutionary Army fighters were still trapped on the ground.
However, every extra minute spent in Dylarian Shipyards means that the risk of being surrounded by Confederacy Fleets increases. The combat effectiveness of the captured battlecruiser is still very limited for the time being. Directly fighting Confederacy Fleets will put oneself in a very disadvantageous position.
"Locate all units, locate them immediately!"
"This is the bridge of the Norad II, cancel the jump order." Augustus made the decision in one breath. "Send out a new transport ship and let all our Avenger and Wraith provide cover for the soldiers on the ground to ensure that everyone can evacuate safely."
"We will not leave any soldier behind!" Augustus's voice echoed on the bridge.
These words made the Revolutionary Army officers and soldiers stand in awe, but they were not greatly shocked. Because in the eyes of these Revolutionary Army soldiers, this was the order that Augustus would issue.
They never think that the people they follow will abandon their loyal warriors.
Augustus waited until around 17:00 standard time to confirm that all Revolutionary Army soldiers waiting for rescue had been picked up on the ship, and Norad II and other warships sailed out of At Dylarian Shipyards, Warfield and Fleets of Raynor had already jumped away from Dylar System under the command given again by Augustus.
When exiting the tunnel, the bright starlight appeared in front of Augustus accompanied by a group of Confederacy Fleets that was waiting for battle. However, this group of Fleets only had three battlecruisers. Their commander obviously lacked confidence when facing the seven battlecruisers of Augustus and did not dare to get close.
At the same time, behind the Norad II, fire waves poured out from the tunnel entrance, which was a reflection of the fire in the shipyard.
"Ignore them." Augustus said, "Fight back and execute the jump command at the same time."
A Confederacy Wraith that dived towards the bridge of the Norad II was suddenly torn into pieces by a beam of laser. More than a dozen Wraith surrounded the battlecruiser that once served as the flagship of Alpha Squadron for Confederacy, avoiding the attack of the rotating turret on the battleship.
These brave pilots flew fighter planes with only light armor around the huge steel battleship, dodging the hot laser beams that followed them and sending anti-air missiles out of the launch bay one after another.
The attack from Wraith caused some vibrations in the Defensive Matrix force field of Norad II, but it was insignificant.
Ignoring Confederacy Fleets's attack, Augustus's Fleets began to jump into the hyperspace channel.
Augustus stood with his hands behind his hands, as if the fierce battle outside the porthole had nothing to do with him. "Korhal, is there any news?"
"In the direction of Korhal IV, there is silence."
After a brief silence, Augustus said, "We must be prepared to fight a protracted war. The suffering of the people of Confederacy and Korhal will be reflected in every order we and Commander Confederacy give."
All of them carry uncontrollable anger and sadness in their hearts. They are not telepaths, but they all feel the same for each other.
"Both the Korhal and Confederacy governments have made some mistakes. No complete and thorough revolution can be achieved overnight." Augustus said, "Korhal people have nothing, but Confederacy has personally shaped our common ideals."
"The war has just begun, and Terran Confederacy will never have peace. Confederate Congress and Old Families destroyed Korhal IV, but created a group of Avenger with their own hands."
"What should we do next?" Augustus's adjutant asked him, "Now return to Korhal, maybe we can..."
"No!"
"Let's go to Tarsonis." Augustus said without hesitation, "The new recruits will be trained on our newly acquired battleship. I don't require them to become elite warriors, as long as they follow my orders to fire."
The battle continued. By 18:23, the last battlecruiser completed the jump command, leaving Dylarian Shipyards in a sea of fire.
Thanks for the tip!!!
