StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 116 Independence Day

April 1, 2489, was a bright and sunny day in the city of Kehal IV Stillling. It was not a good day, but revolution is not about good times.

The marble road from the battlefield to the Palatine Council is called the Procession of the Senators. Augustus's ancestors walked on this road in heavy red robes to the seat of justice and retrospective reason.

At that time, the honest and upright MPs were wearing the same red robes as their father Angus, and they were red-faced arguing over the implementation of laws in the chamber, and the audience in the audience was their people. But now, the people listening to the speeches of the congressmen have already become richly dressed dignitaries.

Augustus transferred a new army battalion originally belonging to the Korhal Defense Force to maintain order. After being instigated by the revolutionaries, these young soldiers turned to obey his orders. Soldiers holding Gauss rifles and wearing brown military uniforms stood on both sides of the parliamentary procession to form a human wall to block the surging crowds.

Supporters of Angus even traveled halfway across the planet to come here. The fanatical crowd carried banners with slogans such as "Let Korhal IV be independent!" "Angus Mengsk: Hero of the People!" and people waved red backgrounds. The golden wolf head flag is the emblem of the Mengsk family.

At this time, Augustus was standing a dozen yards away from his father, following him closely. He was now wearing a dark gray militia officer uniform, with golden wheat ears on his broad shoulder straps. Revolutionary Army Colonel Acton Field was standing beside him, his sharp eagle eyes scanning the dense crowd from time to time.

"Get out of the way and let me stand among my people!" Angus Mengsk showed a sincere and warm smile, and his voice came through the loudspeakers of dozens of Umoyan armed drones in the sky. In the ears of everyone present.

The mad people cheered even louder, and Augustus had to send more soldiers to hold back the crowd.

"He is much more popular than any superstar." Augustus looked at the tall buildings farther away from the road to the parliament.

"This is the prestige of a politician. If the federal government hadn't continued to squeeze the people of Kehal, and its chaotic and corrupt government had gradually lost everyone's trust, the call for reform would not have been so high." Acton "The federal government has created its own enemies," he said.

"There are very few MPs here today." The mini headset in Augustus's ear was constantly transmitting reports from various monitoring points and the secretly assembled commanders of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the Revolutionary Army. .

"Lennox Cavan is one of them, and he is standing ready in the chamber of the Palatine House. Only thirty-seven of the one hundred senators came, and eleven of them supported Angus. "He said.

“The House of Councilors is not guarded, no sentinels are stationed there—it was the rule of the original legislators as pioneers that soldiers should not come between them and the people.”

At this moment, Angus walked up to the steps of the Palatine Chamber, which were paved with black gold-patterned marble, faced the crowd looking at him, and began his impassioned speech with ease.

"The rulers of Tarsonis have oppressed Korhal for too long. This is a world opened by our forefathers! It belongs to every Korhal and their descendants!"

"In southern federal cities, corruption has eaten away at the bones like maggots. The Senate's new law has been deliberately misinterpreted, and the position of a civil servant or chief executive is clearly priced!"

"The nobles and their relatives controlled the local senator's election. Rich businessmen obtained 90% of the construction rights of infrastructure by bribing officials and using illegal bidding methods. Safety accidents caused by cutting corners caused hundreds of deaths or It’s a disability!”

“In Balik, the number of illegal mines is much higher than what has been registered. Those mines lack safety facilities and have poor conditions. The mine owners only pay meager salaries and hire illegally extradited refugees to enter at any time. In a mine that may have collapsed. I want to know, who is responsible for this?"

"Which penny of the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes levied by the Federation on Korhal IV is spent on the people? If each of us works hard just to make the already nobles richer, even if we work hard, it will not be enough to support ourselves. Child, then we should stand up and resist!"

"I only believe in one thing, that is, even if the geometric axioms and inviolable mathematical laws go against the interests of the people, they must be overturned!" Angus raised his two hands under his bright red robe. On his chest, he suddenly seemed to be grasping something tightly, or holding a sword that was stabbing him. His three-dimensional face with a thick beard, which looked like a Greek statue and had been cut with a knife and axe, appeared in excitement. Normal flushing.

"We always believe that neither the government nor individuals, nor the founding family of Tarsonis, have any right to treat others unfairly. Democracy and law should not be a piece of paper. Corrupt officials should be punished as they deserve! "

"Human beings are born equal, and the Creator has given us inalienable rights. It is to protect these rights that the people elect their governments. And if the government uses abuse of power and plunder to put the people under its autocratic rule , then the people have sufficient qualifications and reasons to overturn it!"

"The history of Tarsonis and its colonial government is a history of tyranny and plunder. Their delusion to establish a tyranny in a free land like Korhal would make even the most generous hearts outrage."

"Compatriots of Korhal, comrades in the revolutionary army, and followers gathered around me! I want you to solemnly declare that at this moment, Korhal IV is independent! This vast land will belong to us again! "

"The Korhal Dominion was established today!"

"I swear on my honor and that of the Mengsk family that the purposes of the Dominion's constitution were formulated by Korhal's original pioneers, governed by the will of the public, and will never violate democracy and justice."

"If the federal government of Tarsonis intends to use force to force us into submission, then unleash the terrible evil of war!"

"Long live Korhal!" Finally, Angus made a gesture that seemed very exaggerated to Augustus, raising his clenched right hand high.

"Long live Korhal! Long live the Dominion! Long live the Immortal People!"

Suddenly, the sea of ​​cheers brought a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. People hugged and called, crying with joy.

"Lundstein, take your guards and follow me." Augustus commanded his troops through the headset.

"The Palatine Chamber is ours now. If those senators want to resist, let there be a river of blood there."
