Chapter 573 — Eastern Blackotia Kingdom's Urgent Meeting

Eastern Blackotia Kingdom's Urgent Meeting

Swuuushhh! Swuuusshhh!

"..." Ishikyy and many other soldier units in every Frigate and Destroyer hurried from the Carrier and Battleships to the shore, moving below the destroyed beach stronghold's structure above the sea and their shields could only protect them from debris, and not from the entire thing going down on them. But these Frigates were really fast, and the Destroyers couldn't be any worse off, at least in speed terms.

Hundreds and hundreds of Frigates rapidly arrived before the shore while the Third fleet continued raining destruction everywhere. The amphibious navy force was unstoppable, and their actions were impossible to delay, as there was a massive difference between both Region’s navies, and they were already on the losing end with the sea in the Blauw Empire’s hands. Their largest stronghold was done with, and tens of thousands of Imperial Guards and citizen soldier units disembarked every several seconds.

In under 3 minutes, the Fourth fleet could be seen from the shore as it destroyed one enemy sea stronghold after another. Their speed was fantastic, and the enemy’s protective barriers were targeted with their array formations’ core struck by every machine gun from the Flotilla dispatched to destroy it. The enemy was prepared for a defense in the long term, not for one where their possible enemy was invited right into their doors.

The Blauw Empire’s Third and Fourth fleets kept raining utter destruction everywhere they went, as they practically took control of the beach without exerting extra effort. The Third fleet remained in one spot, making it vulnerable, even as they moved a little in the water to improve their aim and firing lines. However, they had to do this, or the amphibious forces would suffer a devastating counterattack by the enemy, already sending millions of cultivators towards them.

Naturally, the enemy wouldn’t send all these capable cultivators against the Third fleet, and the Third fleet wasn’t expecting that either. Meanwhile, the Fourth fleet gradually closed in on the beach after opening a wide path from the free territory to the Eyeseeking Region’s ocean. On the other hand, eventually, over 15 million troops were setting foot on the enemy’s shore for the first time since the war on 2 fronts started.

There were too many Frigates, and while most of these thousands were Offensive type, a good portion of them were Defensive, with up to 13,000 soldier units in it, without counting auxiliary units. Destroyers had 40,000 soldier units instead, and they were hundreds, making for even more as the dozens of Cruisers were rapidly dismantled and turned into storage in several high-ranked officials’ Covert space bags within it before entering deeper into the sand.

At this moment, from such a vast army that the Blauw Empire had never employed before inland, the Empire sent at least 3 Generals who would take care of them and all special forces. Earlier, it could be seen how hundreds of draconic Fauna helped a few Destroyers and Cruisers become a little more nimble with underwater support. And now, as this insanely long line of troops moved forward, forming a vanguard of at least 15 kilometers, they stopped after venturing a few tens of kilometers into the enemy’s inland territory. They spent about 40 minutes to accomplish this, with most of the time away due to the citizens preparing their armored vehicles and forming up.

The Third and Fourth fleets used that time to eradicate all enemy forces in their sea territory, humiliating the Eyeseeking Region as their docks and even public shipyards became debris and rubble, slowly sinking underwater. At this moment, the Generals who stopped their army with the vanguard line holding a temporary front with its tanks forming a diminutive protective barrier at the front and helicopters above, ready to destroy any incoming enemy missiles or fire back against their machine guns or artillery guns.

“... It’s time, let’s go. I will take the east, you west, and you will remain here for the time being. Make sure to welcome the vassals without anyone noticing. We’ll move under the fish hunters’ fire.” One of the Generals said as he looked back and forth at the other 2 Generals. They nodded at him, repeating what they had already accorded, and walked away to their different groups. The General who spoke went to the right wing and took more than 7 million troops with him as they departed to the right, deviating from a direct march towards the Eyeseeking Region’s ruling organization’s individual territory.

Another General took the left wing, another more than 7 million troops with him, and marched to the left, where the Undermudmusk Region was busy fighting and keeping the Empire’s navy off their shores. Lastly, the other General remained behind, with more than 100,000 soldier units to his disposition, who rapidly started forming a base. However, this wasn’t just a base. It would be mobile, and one that could work for this war and more…

As the General left in the middle and his troops watched their comrades take the vanguard and invade the enemy’s land territory, they saluted a little longer before getting to work. No structure would build itself, even if they were experienced veterans from the ground forces. They quickly got to work and left their thoughts and desires to join the battle for later. There would be many opportunities to fight for their Empire later.

“... Lieutenant Ishikyy! Take your Blue Force and guide the Yellow, Green, and Sand Forces into the enemy’s 3 strongest organizations’ territories! Start the fire to warm the rest of us up! You are allowed to cause as much disruption and damage as possible. These people caused many casualties in our brothers and sisters defending our home. Today, we begin this payback!” The General in charge of the army sent to the Undermudmusk Region ordered Ishikyy before talking into the global communication channel in everyone’s medallion.

“Huaa!!” The soldier units surged in acquiescence and thrill. Even the citizens shouted despite not having medallions and continued operating their armored vehicles while keeping up with the Imperial Guards. And thus, Ishikyy’s Blue Force, already at the vanguard, with her people also acting as Scouts for any possible enemy’s hidden force. Started coming out of the vanguard’s rear and rushed forward with some armored vehicles painted savagely with a regular blue color tagging along.

“...” Ishikyy didn’t say anything, but under her helmet and black uniform with barely visible blue stripes at the sides of her torso and one in the middle of her back, from her collar to her tailbone, and nodded before bringing her people away with an array formation glowing above their backs. On the other hand, the armored vehicles came closer to one another and activated an array formation, extending over hundreds of meters before gaining more speed and mobility when they moved as a whole.

Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp! Vvrrooooom! Whoooeeiiiishhh~!

The Yellow, Green, and Sand Forces followed suit, forming a long trail, becoming the Blue Force’s tail, almost like a snake. As the General and his troops watched this, they slowly advanced forward, sending more scouts everywhere and keeping their armored vehicles at the sides and vanguard. Then, they waited for a couple hours, and when the General gave the order, the Imperial Guards began circulating and accumulating Neutral Energy in their bodies while the citizens changed their mindset and became prepared to move out.

… whiiiisstleeeeeeee~~~! Booooooom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

“Now!! Move out, move!!” The General shouted into his medallion, making every soldier unit’s skin tremble and ripple before their widened eyes focused, and their movements started sowing on the field. Hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of armored vehicles rushed in 3 different directions, each with some smoke already drifting up into the sky but now with more smoke and some red, flaming clouds forming from afar.

Everyone had their array formation activated, advancing like a crazed Fauna stampede aiming for 3 different organizations’ individual territories, whose might in the Undermudmusk Region was at the top. But these were only in the east and were usually in charge of keeping the Eyeseeking Region at bay. Now, although they were receiving another attack from the same direction, their opponent was different, and their resolve to win or win and kill and be killed quickly spread throughout the Undermudmusk Region’s east.

First, their scouts, sent by their Fleet commander, caught the sight of a foreign force moving towards them, and very rapidly. They rapidly returned and sent information back to their superiors, but while they were running, the ‘new’ foreign force flashed blue and annihilated them, delaying the spreading of this information but not stopping it. Then, as the blue-striped enemy force attacked their Undermudmusk Region, they were identified when attacking the defenses of one of their strongest organizations in the east.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Their attack was ephemeral, but it rapidly sent whatever little soldier units they wanted to end out and chase down the enemy and kill them! However, their soldier units weren’t well-versed in speedy array formations, while the Blue Force was using them to speed up their marching, and the Yellow, Green, and Sand Forces did the same under her command. Of course, she wasn’t ‘above’ the other Forces’ commanders she was working with, but she was temporarily in charge of this special army unit.

Meanwhile, as Ishikyy neared the second organization on the list, their pursuers relentlessly chased but could barely send a few energy attacks that nearly touched their rear. All the enemy could see was flashing blue and undersized, followed by the more considerable yellow, green, and sand-ish colors. In their black uniforms, under their armor, or on their armored vehicles as they flew and drove to the second and third organizations.

Like the first enemy organization, the second’s individual territory suffered some sudden, unexpected casualties and had part of its walls destroyed by sudden, combined strategy attacks from massive weapons and Neutral Energy. Thus, they also sent as many soldier units as possible to chase down the enemy and erase it from existence before news of this humiliation spread further than their Region’s east.

However, after noticing their comrade’s group and joined them, they became aware of the difficulties of chasing this Blauw Empire’s force of not even more than a few tens of thousands. However, they didn’t give up and continued chasing, doing their best to… end up meeting with the third organization’s soldier units who went all-out to destroy this annoying and ‘cowardly’ Blauw Empire’s force.

Thus, the start of a cat-and-mouse chase was given place. At one point, sometime later, they were close to assaulting this enemy. But just when they were landing some energy attacks on their Empire’s tanks, which suddenly moved to the rear for whatever reason, they received warnings from their organizations about an enormous force coming towards them. Then, they understood. Those had to be their organization’s radars and detection through array formations, but it was too late. They had been baited for too long and wanted nothing more but to take down this Empire’s small force.

… Pum! Pum! Pum! Pum!- Pshift, pshift, pshift, pshift!

But while their intentions were noble, to a certain point, wanting and being able to do something were different. And as these enemy forces chased the Blauw Empire’s Blue, Yellow, Green, and Sand Forces and watched millions of the Empire’s soldier units appear from afar, they also barely realized whom they’d been chasing. Yet, by that time, the Empire’s tanks opened fire.

Under the Empire’s heavy assault, and as their ears caught sounds that induced fear into their chests and Souls, such as their ears trembling whenever another whistling noise passed over their heads, and a big ‘ka-boom’ went off, and explosive waves’ warmth reached them from so far away, they faltered in under 3 minutes despite placing blood essence to their heart’s content in the energy barriers from their Neutral Energy. It was simply a useless endeavor.

What came next was unavoidable. The Empire’s ground forces drilled into the enemy’s strongest organizations in the east. Tumbling down their walls in less than half an hour and massacring the enemy cultivators in even less. Tanks could be seen jumping in the air and boosting through it to reach locations riddled with fallen buildings and debris or corpses, not wanting to step on them.

The Empire’s soldier units had been trained far too much and too strictly, so when the new troops started besieging and entering the enemy’s individual territories, they skillfully dispatched any non-obviously dead enemy and proportioned a path and clear coms for the other Teams, Squads, Platoons, and so on to continue advancing as their army unit kept things in order.

On the other hand, seeing the situation, proud of her people’s capabilities and even more of Heian Ciemnosc’s training regimens, Ishikyy requested to freely move between the battles in each enemy's individual territory. After the General in charge of invading the Undermudmusk Region from inland accepted, her Blue Force actually managed to travel from the first enemy organization’s territory to another, participating in each until she saw the army could deal with the rest effortlessly and rushed towards the next.

Like this, during the night and as the morning lights came, the first part of the Undermudmusk Region and the Eyeseeking Region were taken under just one enemy, the Far East Region: the Blauw Empire!

***

Indomitable Heartspree Region, 3 days after the Blauw Empire declared war on the Undermudmusk Region, followed by initiating another with the Eyeseeking Region.

It was during the daytime, and the most formidable Region from the Eastern Regions nearest to the ocean was in the far east from the Far East Region. It was many times closer than the northern Regions but less closer than the southerners. However, its individual territory blazed with the luster of richness, honor, and mightiness. In their central building, just one of many other tall structures around. A meeting was about to start.

“Huff, huff…” Outside the meeting room, before the doors, a man in a tuxedo halted his steps before entering the room and tried to calm down. However, it was a rare thing for the northern Regions in this ocean to meet the easterners, let alone the southerners who were too damn far away from his home. He was sweating, although not that much, but his pale face struggled to gain color but managed to recuperate.

‘Fuuu, here we go. Nothing’s wrong. This should be my Region’s stage. We are just meeting acquaintances.’ The man thought to himself before accommodating his tie, collar, and waist before finally pushing open the doors. When he entered, the man, only younger than middle-aged, with very short black hair and looking decent and elegant with his suit, looked at a bunch of bored, annoyed, and long faces staring back at him.

“Where the hell were you? It’s been some time since your people waited for their spokesperson.” A rough, buffy man with a couple of twisted, slim, but potent horns raised his voice, questioning the man in a tuxedo. The man felt his mentality crumble, nearly kneeling down to apologize, but managed to somehow keep his cool and bowed deeply instead. “I apologize. I was revising some matters that are happening in my invaded Region. Please forgive my tardiness.”

The man then walked to his seat, far ‘below’ the buffy man with horns, who sat the farthest away from the entrance and in one of the extremes of the long, rectangular table. On the other extreme was the famous monumental blonde beauty, whose appearance cannot be contended by anyone. The man courteously inclined his head and greeted her silently before facing everyone and bowing again in respect. He then walked to his seat, where people from his Eyeseeking Region were giving him death stares for arriving late, despite everyone knowing he was outside just now.

“What happened over here? Why is the Undermudmusk Region’s seat empty, and no people from their Region? Are they coming in later?” When passed by the other Regions seats, the man noticed their ‘fellow’ neighbor was missing, with none from there participating as of yet. At the same time, everyone could feel the hidden excitement in his voice but limited themselves to staying quiet. Only the buffy man, with red hair and a rough face, said with his left eyebrows raised and his face turning a little more angry.

“They were intercepted before leaving their aerial territory. None were allowed outside their little cage. And after their north was taken, how could they escape by land? Dig holes through the massive mountains to the west and get lost in defeat?”

“I… s-s- sorry… but,” the man started sweating. And this time, it didn’t look like it would only be temporary. He looked at everyone, trying to garner courage from looking at the other Regions’ spokespeople or ruling leaders, but only gained some when looking at the majestic beauty at the other end of the long table. He looked back at the buffy fella and said, “But I went out after the Undermudmusk Region. Me and my people set off later. Why were we not in any danger?”

“Do you really need to ask?” A gentle voice that sounded yet not gentle rang inside the meeting room. Everyone fell silent. Even their silence quieted down. They turned their heads to the extreme opposite of the bulky man and looked at the blonde whose sitting posture was normal, somewhat improper for such a beauty even. She smiled lightly, appearing polite but still ravishingly soul-stirring, and said. “Do you really need a comparison between the Region that stabbed another from the back as it faced off a terrible civil war? Or will it be enough to remember how a foreign force was allowed into someone’s territory?”

The majestic blonde continued smiling but now looked directly into the man’s eyes and added, “This has shown the world the incompetency of our eastern Regions. We were known as peaceful, but knowing how to fight. And even in our worst times, our ancestors always brought us back on the right track. However, now we actually invited someone into our territory and let them do as they wished.”

“Letting such an obvious intent pass by our noses, suffering enormous defeats, and losing the lives of our Region’s people… I don’t think there’s a need for that, do we? Especially since the Far East Region has always been part of our circle. We just decided to gain pocket money in exchange for our credibility and face, no?” The blonde, majestic beauty said. Her eyes darted up before looking down at a few individuals and the people sitting behind them, still politely smiling.

Only 2 people in this meeting room didn’t have a single person behind their seats. She and the bulky man. The latter interjected, blatantly saying in a casual manner, “It is not the time to talk about such matters yet. Let’s let the convening Region’s people speak first. They are the ones who arranged this meeting in the first place.”

“Hm,” the blonde hummed, not agreeing or disagreeing. Meanwhile, the others in the room seemed to agree with the blonde, while some were blushing their faces off like crazy.
