Let Tarsonis Burn

The propellers of the Norad II spewed hot orange plasma flames, and the long wake reflected the armor surface of the Fleets behind it orange. Behind the majestic and wide hull of the Norad II were six iron-gray Behemoth-class Battlecruisers. These seven battlecruisers, led by Norad II, formed a perfect cutting-edge sharp knife formation.

On the lower left and lower right are the Hyperion and Steel Justice Fleets running neck and neck respectively. Twenty-six steel giants, including Warfield's seven Leviathan class battlecruisers, are heading towards the Tarsonis main star in the silence of the electronic communication channel.

The small and medium-sized battleships and starfighters escorting the Fleets battleship formation accompanied the Fleets in sailing. From time to time, several fighters left Fleets to expel the Confederacy Scout that was rapidly approaching its own Fleets.

The slowly rotating turrets, armor printed with white letters and numbers, and smooth portholes of these battlecruisers are all brand new. Each battlecruiser is a majestic ship, capable of raining death on any rebellious colonial world. Orbital bombardment using nuclear weapons can flatten mountains and rivers, evaporate rivers and seas, and turn a garden world suitable for human habitation into a charred wasteland.

There are no communication signals between battleships, and all channels remain silent. It seems that what is heading towards Tarsonis is not a large-scale Fleets but a cold and speechless steel body. Coffin. Terran Confederacy The government did its best to pass on the economic recession caused by the war to every citizen of Confederacy, and accumulated the funds to build these battlecruisers through heavy taxation and plunder.

And now, these battleships are being used by the Mengsk Family's Revolutionary Army against themselves.

"We are still 32 million miles away from the main star Tarsonis in a straight line, and the Tarsonis galaxy Fleets is directly in front of us."

"The dock of the Norad II has been opened and the Avenger fighter jets and the Wraith formation are being ejected. The Umojan unmanned interceptor fleet has passed the final safety test and can be put into combat immediately."

"Revolutionary Army 321 Marines and the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Airborne Division are on standby on the first, fourth and fifth decks. Call the bridge from the lower deck, and we can deliver landing troops to Tarsonis at any time."

"The energy is full and the shield can be turned on."

There were about thirty or forty officers and technicians talking loudly on the bridge of the Norad II, but the scene did not appear too chaotic because of this. Everyone had a clear division of labor and knew what they should do and when and where they should speak.

The center of these soldiers and crew members is Augustus·Mengsk wearing a dark gray military coat. He is the backbone of the entire bridge and the Norad II. Just standing there can make people feel at ease, and those Revolutionary Army soldiers who admire Augustus will ignite their fighting spirit just by looking at him.

At this time, the Tarsonis main star was getting closer and closer to the Norad II. The green planet was shrouded in bright starlight. Some of the light spots amplified by the sensor on the main screen of the bridge represented the Confederacy Fleets.

"They must have been caught off guard." Sarah·Kerrigan, standing behind Augustus, said, "Even those who were startled should feel panicked."

"Let's wait and see." Augustus said to another adjutant beside him, "Connect to the Confederacy communication channel that has been intercepted and deciphered."

The reason why Augustus's Revolutionary Army Fleets has the ability to intercept and decipher the encrypted communications of the Confederacy army is due to the powerful deciphering technology of Umojan and the confidential information of Confederacy communication codes obtained by Umojan Protectorate agents. This was all used to help Revolutionary Army establish their own intelligence network, and a large number of sophisticated and cutting-edge monitoring equipment and technicians were sent to Korhal IV.

As early as seventy years ago or even more, when Terran Confederacy first proposed the establishment of a coalition government to unify the three Koprulu Sector Human Regime, the governments of Umojan and Moria were aware of the ambition hidden under the ridiculous reason of human unity.

The former spent a lot of time building a spy intelligence network that penetrated the Tarsonis power network, while the latter did not think that it was possible for the Tarsonis sissy to defeat the fierce miners.

To this day, as there have only been a few minor border conflicts with no casualties, Terran Confederacy still does not know that Umojan has deciphered the encryption mode of their communication channel, and is very likely to openly monitor the love conversations between Major Confederacy and his newlywed wife while occupying the command center communication network.

The outcome of the Moria people can be imagined. Not only did they lose the war, they were completely defeated.

"This is Haisenlan Outpost. They have nineteen Behemoth-class Battlecruiser and seven Leviathan class ships, and more than a thousand Avenger fighters." Several monitored sound signals of the Confederacy communication channel sounded on the bridge of the Norad II at the same time.

"I am the First Orbital Defense Platform Command Center, who are they?"

"The rebels - the rebels' Fleets. If it weren't for the rebels, I would boil Aunt Meili's leather boots and swallow a whole Fleets, which is equivalent to one and a half squadrons. God, if I hadn't drank more cocktails, I would have been blind. Goodbye, sir, we must retreat."

"I understand. Stay at your post, or I will send you to a military court."

Amid a harsh electrical noise, a distorted shout could be heard on another channel, "Rebels, they are Korhal people. I recognize the markings on those battleships."

"Damn it, this must be a boring April Fool's Day joke. Now I'm going to take a nap. I spent the night with that bitch in the weightless cabin yesterday. You should try that feeling. Daniel, I'll let her come to you so that you won't be surprised."

Then there was a clang and a confused scream. Augustus believed that the drunk orbit monitoring station radar monitor had received a good beating from his boss.

Then there is another communication channel, and the access source shows that they are two Leviathan-class battlecruisers in the Tarsonis system that cruise between the exosystem and the main star according to fixed routes. The two Leviathan The -class battlecruiser was far behind the modern Behemoth-class Battlecruiser due to its age. The technicians under Augustus quickly deciphered the encrypted communication codes between them.

"Ah, there are rebels everywhere, what a ghost." A captain of a Confederacy Leviathan-class battlecruiser said, "But where is our Fleets?"

"Stop them. We can't let those Korhal people do evil in the Tarsonis galaxy. They should go back to their remote hometowns."

The communication between the two Leviathan-class battlecruisers disappeared again. Apparently, the artificial intelligence on the ship changed the identification code of the encrypted communication channel according to fixed operating procedures, and it would take a certain amount of time for the technical soldiers under Augustus to decipher it again.

"Have you not intercepted the rally signal sent by Tarsonis to other Fleets?"

"No, sir." A technical soldier replied, "We have not intercepted such encrypted signals. The constantly changing communication passwords are hidden among millions of codes, but it is possible that we missed it."

"It's impossible to miss it." Augustus said, "If Confederate Congress is already anxious, then they will definitely send distress signals non-stop. Always monitor Tarsonis's communication channel and don't miss any communication that may have a major impact on the battle situation."

Augustus listened to a few more pieces of communication from the Tarsonis galaxy outpost and the habitation stations of several planets in orbit. He soon realized that Confederate Congress did not expect that Revolutionary Army Fleets would rush to Tarsonis immediately after raiding Dylarian Shipyards.

But as long as there is any general in the Confederacy army who has a clear head and even a little bit of strategic foresight, he should realize that the Tarsonis system lacks both barriers and defenses, and the obvious and terrifying emptiness appears on the star map.

The monitored channels of the Tarsonis planetary orbital defense force, space station and orbital defense platform showed that the Confederacy army that was supposed to defend Tarsonis was in chaos. Thousands of The signal transmitting source outside the Army and Fleets system called the Confederacy Navy Command to ask what happened. The confused navy generals were scolded bloody by the dignitaries of various systems and families.

"Andrea·Tagore and her Confederate Congress are really calm. She should know that Tarsonis now even lacks a marshal who can command the entire army - unless those retired old people are pushed to the front." Augustus shook his head and closed all monitoring channels, but asked the monitors to pay attention and report key information at any time.

At this time, as Revolutionary Army Fleets headed by Norad II is getting closer and closer to the main star Tarsonis, Confederacy composed of nine Confederacy battlecruisers can be detected on the bridge radar scanning map Fleets. The Fleets battleships on both sides are about ten miles apart. At such a long distance, missiles and space torpedoes rushed out of the cabin first, followed by laser beam barrages all over the sky.

This is obviously the majority of battleships that Tarsonis can use in a short period of time, because most of the Leviathan-class battlecruisers that should have been sent to scrap iron recycling and casting plants or displayed in museums and naval officers' schools have also been pulled out.

The Confederacy Fleets flagship is the famous Leviathan class battlecruiser Hete. It is widely praised for destroying two Kel-Morian Combine battlecruisers and an interceptor Mothership.

However, after suffering two heavy losses, the Hete had to return to the Bennett orbital shipyard of Tarsonis for repairs. With the end of Guild Wars, the large-scale delivery of Behemoth-class Battlecruiser to Fleets, and several upgrades, the warship that once made Kel-Morian people fearful could not escape the fate of being eliminated.

Korhal Revolutionary Army Fleets and Confederacy Fleets opened fire while accelerating their approach. Between the interlaced barrages of both sides were countless star fighters that quickly shuttled between them. At the same time, there were more Confederacy fighters that left the space dock and Revolutionary Army battleships that jumped out of the hyperspace channel to join the battlefield.

What was in front of Augustus was a magnificent scene. This was the collision between Fleets and Fleets. Artillery shells and laser weapons burst out thousands of hot and bright fires on the armor of the battleship. Each point of light from the explosion of the fighter plane seemed like a short-lived supernova on the main screen of Norad II.

After a moment of dazzling brilliance, Confederacy Fleets's flagship Hete was hit by a round of concentrated fire from the Revolutionary Army Fleets. This ship once destroyed a Kel-Morian Combine Outer Colonies's battlecruiser, the famous ship that left nightmare memories to Kel-Morian people, burned in the sky-high flames, and turned into tens of thousands of torn apart steel fragments in the incandescent light that illuminated the entire Norad II bridge in a few seconds.

About one thousand to two thousand five hundred Confederacy Fleets soldiers became the smoke of the past in an instant, dying in pain that was not short-lived.

The two Fleets collided fourteen minutes after they fired at each other. The surrounding battleships and fighter planes overlapped. Each battlecruiser's earth-shattering explosion was accompanied by bright light and blue electrical pulses.

After kicking the fourth Confederacy battlecruiser out of the battlefield, the monitor on board Norad II accessed a level-3 encrypted communication channel that Augustus had long awaited.

"Terran Confederacy soldiers, I am Confederate Congress Chief Speaker Benson Tagore, Tarsonis is being attacked by the rebels, defend Fleets has suffered a blow. In accordance with Confederate Congress Agreement No. 99, I ask you on behalf of Confederate Congress and the Confederacy people he represents."

"All Fleets, return Tarsonis immediately!"

"Do a good job, Speaker Benson." Augustus laughed, and many people on the bridge could hear his hearty laughter.

"Korhal IV is saved." Kerrigan, who was looking at Augustus, also smiled. Although she didn't have much hope that Korhal IV could persist for so many days, it was too late to relieve Korhal at this time.

"It's not over yet." Augustus pulled down the brim of his wide-brimmed military hat. The expression on his face looked like a villain rather than a leader Revolutionary Army: "It's not over yet, Andrea·Tagore."

"The superiors of those soldiers did not tell them that Dylarian Shipyards was attacked by us and a large number of warships were stolen." He stopped smiling, "Someone must have blocked the news, but Confederate Congress must have been informed of what happened to Dylar System."

"But they don't know where we will go next." He faced the brilliant starlight outside the porthole window. "No one dares to say which galaxy the rebel Fleets will go to next. Maybe some people believe that we will attack Tarsonis, but he did not prepare the people of Tarsonis for a war."

"Regardless of whether anyone has suggested that Tarsonis's defense should be strengthened, if Confederacy is recalling his Fleets in all Koprulu Sector to strengthen the local defense force, that is exactly the result we want. If they haven't reacted until now, then I will burn Tarsonis to the ground."

"Mengsk, I can't wait." At this time, Tychus·Finley appeared on a main screen next to Augustus. Tychus was wearing Power Armor, and behind him stood fully armed sergeants Revolutionary Army.

"Tychus is about to appear. And it's time for those Tarsonis bastards to run away."

"Don't lose your head." Augustus scolded him and said, "Do you still remember what the order is?"

"Landing." Tychus said, "Doing this while the three Tarsonis orbital platforms and the ground orbital anti-aircraft gun firepower network are still operating is undoubtedly asking for death. Only about 20% to 30% of the troops can reach the surface."

"But this is our mission. We want the Tarsonis people to know that Revolutionary Army has arrived at their doorstep." Tychus didn't seem to be frightened at all by what he just said, "In this way, the nobles and bureaucrats will be more urgent to ask Fleets to return Tarsonis's aid."

"The target is the military facilities and scientific research stations in Tarsonis City, and to seize Confederacy's armed manufacturing plans. In addition, we must destroy the starport and suspended train tracks on the surface of Tarsonis as much as possible, so that Confederacy cannot quickly deliver troops." Tychus said.

"If possible, we will rush into the city and snatch some noble ladies."

"The last sentence is not what I said." Augustus turned around and his eyes fell on Tychus: "As long as you don't accidentally injure civilians, then I don't mind what you do. But no one can skip me to give you this order, do you understand?"

"You didn't say that." Tychus lit a cigar. "But I'm thinking, if I were you, I would do this."

"Those nobles, I'm afraid they haven't been beaten by their Tychus father since they were children." He chewed the cigar in his mouth and closed the mask and said.

"Let Tarsonis burn!"

It's too late, send it first and change it later
