The Orkian War
Chapter Nine - Hair Raising Fun

Chapter Nine - Hair Raising Fun

After hearing about orkian minefields, I my people produce ninty milimeter heavy mortar that fire seismic rounds. These explode below the minefield and sends out a destructive pulse that detonates mines in a thirty meter radius with lessor effect up to fifty meters. It a fairly amazing sight on slow moe as the expanding seismic shockwave cause mines to detonate.

The Shockwave Mortar is enhance by a gravity press restriction that crushes the mines that survive the shockwave. With this dual attack, clearing minefields with magical means is a piece of cake. I had it designed to fit into any heavy flatbed truck and shipped thirty of the heavy mortars with a hundred round each to help blow openings in the orkian minefields.

Mobile missile defense droids were created to provide air support before the trade towers arrived in ukraine. It a simple all terrain buggy with a twin micro missile launcher turret with nine micro missiles each. The turret is roughly a cubit meter in size, making the droid buggy rather small lightly armored vehicle. Remote controlled, they sneak forward to provide anti air defenses for the frontline troops.

The mobile missile defense droids can even link up with ukrainian air defense command and simply shows up as additional remote forward batteries with a thirty mile range.

Using a soul technique to trap a fragment of a soul before it enters the reincarnation cycle. Then installing them into vehicles make them ideal ai like operators for my drone army. For example, scarabs have phantom wolves souls from the forty six floor. It's inherent creature advantage of night vision allows it to night as if it was day. A flashbang bomb would be like a flash from a camera to them, might cause them to blink a few times, but that about it. After all, it is a form of magical vision that make high energy light burst an invisible spectrum.

One of the earliest scarab raid was an underwater adventure with a squad of nine scarab traveling on sea floor around the one to two thousand meter depths. Their black plasmetal design more than capable of handling the pressure close to three thousand meters. By traveling the narrow strip south of crimea, the nine scarab unit scuttle their way toward southern coast of crimea, while a unit of three headed for Novorossiysk and the two nearby airfields.

With a six scarabs spread out along the Crimea southern coast, they crabbed their way underwater until they near the beaches and use their thirty mile range of their micro missile launchers and began a simutaneous three minute bombardment on orkian military bases in southern crimean and the Novorossiysk naval yard.

The madman of orkia was not happy with my stunning results. Every naval asset was sunk and the entire port was up in flames. Every southern base in crimea was hit was several volleys micro missiles, every plane and vehicles was a burning scrap pile. As drones spotted for the micro missiles, along with satalite support. Any military vehicle within thirty miles of the shore was a possible target.

With nine scarabs were launching eighty one micro missiles from their nine micro launchers with a three second rate of fire. However, big ticket items such as airplanes, tanks, anti air and radar systems all get a pair of missiles as the traditional double tap to confirm the kill. Orkians nicknamed the micro missiles as whistling death, as the wind powered missiles create a low whistling sound in flight.

Remembering the The Incredible Mr. Limpet, I decide to catch a pod of dolphins and train them for military use. Then creating a underwater harness where three limpid mines was stack together with a magic spell to trigger a magnetic spell to attach the mine to a metal ship's hull. With charm spells and communicate with animal spells, it was easy to train the dolphins to deliver the limpid mines to one side of a ships hull to cause maximum damage.

The limpid mines had one cubic meter of high explosives in a shape charge exploding upwards. With an armor penetrating restriction with a boost to double the explosive might. I planned a night raid on Novarossiysk, an hour before dawn, the pod of dolphins delivered their payload.

Satalites showed a nightscape as various light sources dot the dark planet earth. As the planet rotates below the the observing satalites in orbit, explosive flashes can be seen at a distance. Catching the satalite operators attention and zooming in to see what the flashes were. Immediately two massive fireballs can be spotted raising into the air from the remains of ships while many smaller fires were burning.

As the the darken earth rotates more, a clear image of western bay was completely bathed in fire as what appears to be the remains of fully loaded oil tanker sinking. A hundred meters south of the burning oil spill was the remains a freighter that was loaded with military supplies that were still cooking off. A spectacular explosion is viewed as the freighter mid section exploded tearing it in half and the prow of the freighter quickly sinks below the waves.

Both the oil tanker and freighter sink below the waves, but they dying exulatations filled the harbor with a sea of flames while falling munitions turned the warf into expanding inferno. The underworld satalite operation immediately sent the live stream into the news stream of paying subscribers. Many quickly made diligently pixelated copies to post so the cheap real worlders can get updated.

While satalites for various nation began posting their images of the sudden crisis in the orkian port. Though only underworld satalite had recorded the first explosion for viewer pleasure. Though a few were able to backtrack their recording to show the first explosion, none could match the crystal clearity of restriction panels.

Of the six military ships burning, two had capsized and now showing their undamage hull sides. One listing so badly that it would soon capsized. The remaining three warship were burning in their docks. Orkian milboggers began crying for revenge, while the rest of the world congratulated ukraine for the surprise attack.

Ukraine was silient about the attack, as they scambled to find who the heroes were before making an official statement. In the end, I decided to send an envoy to secretly tell zelensky and donated six shark drones my people created. They did not like the idea of using living dolphins, nor did I, but I was interested in experimenting and dolphins did their job beautifully. After feeding the pod their fill of their favorite food enhanced with spiritual cooking, I let the pod go free with my thanks.

The pod was happy to work for more food, but I gathered enough info for using dolphins as shark drone operators. Bad on you for thinking I was sending the dolphins into real danger. But using the smart animals to operate the new underwater drones was an interesting experiment. The pod was more than happy to help after getting a taste of my spiritual cooking. Besides, they found piloting the underwater drones from odessa a novelty.

Zelensky issued a statement stating the new shark drone was a collaboration project to produce the underwater drones. Then showed a video of the new shark shaped drone deploy detachable limpid mines. After that, many western militaries wanted to check out the shark drone. Zelensky was more than happy to recieve new military deliveries for the cost of two shark drones with my suggestion. Nato was more than happy, getting an advance jump into underwater drone research. Especially one that can deliver a payload and escape.

Ukraine recieved a much need shipment of additionial air defense systems and more long range artillery and plenty of munitions for their their new long range toys. Also new bradleys and mine clearing vehicles and of course more ammo of various types. The ukrainian people was more than happy about the moral boost of the new drones. They were more than happy to ridicule the orkian milbloggers on ukrainian vitural turf.

Of course the madmen launch an all out missile and drone attack. With nearly fifty missiles and over sixty drones headed into ukraine next night in retaliation. But they were all shot down by unknown means, as anti air radars picked up the incoming threats. Only just before launching anti air missiles, the incoming targets were destroy before they came into range. Causing the ukrainian anti air crews to scratch their heads in astonishment.

The ukrainian military was in shock after recieving a report that all missiles and drones have been shot down before entering ukrainian air space and not a single anti air missile was fired. While the ukrainian high command scratch their heads, a video was posted about the weird strange light flashes never seen before on top of the kyiv trade tower that night as the warning sirens shook the sleeping cities awake.

It did not take long to put the two together and nato and ukraine was knocking politely asking if the strange flashes of light had anything to do with destroying the orkian missile and drone attack. In the end, I sent replied that each trade tower is equip with a defense energy cannon that automatically target any threat heading their way. For civilian protection, the energy beam was calibrated to a non visible spectrum to avoid damaging civilian eyes. The flash of light was just a security feature to tell the crew that the energy cannon had fired.

The world was shock while ukraine went into estatic mode and celebrated the unexpected but and seriously good new air protection and promptly move air defense systems to the eastern and southern fronts with my promise to protect both cities with the three hundred mile defense range. I was not going to tell them the trade towers were using about five percent power output. That at full power, I could shoot pass twice lunar maximum orbit.

Stolen story; please report.

Of course the world went bonkers and grew envious of western nations with a underworld trade tower sitting next to their capital. Ambassadorial lands were promptly offer from western nations still negotiating for a trade tower, as it was the first requirment for a trade tower to be built. Since underworld corporation is now headquarter on a magically inscripted raised island in the south pacific and have been acknowledge my many nations as a sovereign nation.

Getting free nuclear deterrant suddenly became the number one priority for nations still without a underworld trade tower. Especially the madman's nuclear saber rattling in recent months. The nato nations realize a underworld trade tower is a godsend to have. As such, many nation began recognizing underworld corporation island as a sovereign nation to get on my good side.

Orkian high command threw fits after finding out underworld trade towers were responsible in taking down one hundred percent of the missiles and drones that night. They even demanded I remove the trade towers, but I just replied with a laugh my ass off video of my favorite underworld anime characters laughing. Which cause the whole world to smile at my antics. Since I never ever reply properly to orkian demands, and just sent videos or pics on how I felt about their demands. Which only sends the rest of the world into fits of laughter on just how disrespectful I was to the orkian federation and it's delusional madman of a leader.

One of the most dangerous weapons I develope was the Meteor Storm satalite cluster munitions. Brain storming off the Project Thor idea, by adding a magical barrier to protect the rods from reentry problems and a havoc enchantment to replicate and strike up to thirty targets. These rods from heaven proved interesting, so each underworld satalite has a void storage for twenty seven enchanted tungsten rods.

Since the rods were more than large enough for a second enchantment, I used wind movement with homing enchants to make these rod highly accurate. For the third enchantment I added invisibility and heavy mass enchantments to hide their launch and make them more lethal.

For restriction I added gravity press restriction to increase their speed and crushing power. A second layer for explosive power times three. For ease of mind, I add a stealth restriction to ensure they are not detectable. Then three power layers to boost the explosive restriction even further. This is what I used to destroy the orkian trenchlines.

Seeing the my friendly ukrainians lack air support, I ask for two hundred ukrainian volunteers to train for pilot training. It was the same time I had ask the world for f-sixteen pilots for a mercenary volunteer air wing. I took the ukrainians down to the tenth floor and created a new atmospheric subspace for them to train on my modified f-sixteen specters.

Training at ten hours to one real world hours, the ukrainian volunteer pilots became experts in record time. Instead of the mercenary plasmetal aircraft, my people had converted it to greymetal and offered the design to the ukrainian to produce. I even provided them with graymetal production refinery to jump start their greymetal reserves while they begin building a pair specter factories.

I even had kyiv trade tower transit mine a cavern system in the mountains north of Novomalyn so it can not be bombed. Since it was built in the relatively safety of western ukraine and protected by mountains. I even had my people install a wide area illusion barrier so spy satalites would be useless. I had even donated nine magic turbines to power the greymetal refinery and pair of specter factories with seven magic turbines to spare. I figure my friendly ukrainians could use the extra power during winter.

Even though much of the factories are automated, it took time to train the people who would work the refinery and factories. My people also began producing greymetal specters as training was faster than the ukrainians could build. After all it only took a month to train the first batch of ukrainian pilots to near expert level with ten months of subspace advance training.

Since I could not let the fresh pilots sit out while waiting of the factories to produce the needed spectors. I had my people build one hundred greymetal ones, so the ukrainians can take shifts flying sorties. Along with the volunteer air wing, orkian air assets became a thing of the past. Ukraine gain total air superiority as they now had one hundred of fifty new specters in the air.

As they had decide to rotate their new pilots into shifts of six hours. The eager new pilots push their stamina in order to spank any orkian air asset out of the sky. Planes, missiles and drones were being destroyed before reaching ukrainians lines. My ukrainian battle brothers and sisters cheered at the new ukrainian owned skies.

Orkish armor took a beating, most were destroyed before reaching the range of ukrainian artillery. They pilots were kind enough to let a few get though so the artillery crew could have some action. The artillery commander complained that he has nothing to shoot but orkish infantry and getting bored. So ukrainian airforce commander sent down an order to let a few though so the boys on the ground can have some fun.

It was decided to let about ten percent though, which the mercenaries complained for allowing money to escape. Then I gave the volunteers a mission, let exactly ten percent though, we will have your battle computers to shut down your weapon systems when you get close to ten percent. Then randomly select pilots to get to exactly ten percent you all get your max kills in.

Then I will give you all ten percent of the share I am getting from the artillery commander. It should come to about roughly even, so no loss to you but I score an acceptable bonus. The volunteers all cheered for the guy who hired them for the cushiest job ever. They were totally onboard to help their new employee out.

They were in flying shielded tanks and felt it impossibly safe, despite flying combat mission daily. Any thing that gets pass the shields barely put a dent in the specter they were flying. One specter even had six dents after the first day. It became status symbol, any one who flies it must earn three dents in a single mission to join a special club of dare devil pilots.

Of course they did not mean they did not practice three dents within six hours cultology, but soon spread amoung the volunteers. But soon realize it was hard to do as ground collusions did not count. They soon realize they had to enter orkian airspace to get those dents. Volunteers began crossing the border when they ask if they could. I said yes, since I had officially declared war only a week ago. I see no reason holding back.

The volunteer understood where the dents come from. Orkian fortress along their borders and their very big guns. Presenting themselves as targets was hair raising fun. Being hit by such big shells was instinctly suicidal for the volunteers. But the daredevil pilots club cursed the inacurate shells. They are flying slowly as permitted to the orks down below a better chance to hit.

One of the volunteers cursed the auto micro missile defenses. But quickly informed by their battle comupter that the warheads of the incoming missile not enough to scratch the hull of the specter. Therefore, the auto battery fire is clear their vision as much as possiple. Giving them the best chance to steer your way for a collision with one the massive shells the orks were throwing up into the sky hoping to hit a specter.

It did not take long for orks to fear flying any where near their own borders. As every ork pilot that flew to assist a border fortress had been shot down by an high explosive missile that tore apart any ork air asset into pieces. Anti air micro missiles are designed to punch into the fusilage and detonated inside. The high explosives is more than enough blow the any orkian aircraft in half, more likely in pieces for the smaller aircraft.

The orks stupidly reinforce and repaired their border fortresses. They had two within range of ukraine, so the volunteers were pulling in a lot of bonus money with their weekly raids.

The first group of orkian backed terrorists was frozen in place as security field drop over them and sealed them in place by a barrier one inch from the skin locking them in place. The guns and explosives they carried was detected early on, allowed to wonder free unless they try to enter the main gates. Anyone armed or carrying explosives would be contained for questioning. After all, since underworld trade towers is in ambassadorial lands, bringing weapons of any kind would question your sanity .

But battle computers quickly interview the bystanders before finally letting them go. I've been trying to break by the book mentally the battle computers have.

Since I had a chance to modify a Mark forty eight torpedo, I sent the blueprint and ask to make drone using the torpedo as a base. They cut down on the size, as fuel cell tech reduce the fuel tank the size of a forearm. With five times the explosive power, the Barracuda torpedo drone with a nine hundred mile range turn the black sea into a death trap for orkian ships.

With it's ninty thousand price tag, ukraine purchase enough to sink the entire black sea fleet. Then ended up using ten barracudas to sink three defending ships of the crimean bridge and take out six support columns. Though only three of the column had completely collapse, while the other three was so badly damage, they would need to be completely replaced.

The railway had lost one support column causing the two adjacent rail spans to collapse into the sea. While the bridge suffer the loss of two columns, causing four bridge spans to collapse as well. I heard the madman of orkian fainted when the news hit him and when he woke up, ranted for the rest of the day and rattle the nuclear sabre for a few days.

After the ranting, nato up it security level to it's highest level to counter threaten the madman. The madman's nuclear threats for the past few day had violated everyone's bottem line. Since ukraine purchase the barracudas secretly, the madman could only blame nato for supplying the drones. I even sold ukraine a small torpedo drone making factory that can churn out one drone every month.

With my suggestion, ukraine produce a video of their new drone torpedo factory hidden somewhere in western ukraine. This finally ended the nuclear sabre rattling and made the orkian navy flee north of the crimean bridge. However, I gave a six hundred mile version with the normal twenty one feet length and ukraine name their version the Mosasaur torpedo drone after a particularily dangerous underwater dinosaur that lived in the black sea after learning I liked dinosaurs.

With about four hundred fifty miles from odessa to novorossiysk, the mosasaur torpedo drone had plenty of maneuver room to play with. Though it lack the stealth restriction that the barracuda has, the Mosasaur could dive up to a three hundred meters and cruise at around one hundred and twenty miles per hour. It was so easy to pilot the drone once they reach it's destination, that zelensky was viraled guiding their first mosasaur into a damage support column on the crimean bridge and drop another two spans of railroad.

Since I never put the barracuda drones on underworld arms market, the world naturally assume it was the brainchild of the ukrainians. I even congratulated the ukrainians for using the first torpedo drones, as I already have far too many stalkers after my tech. Zelenski was more than happy to keep it a secret, after all I been sending them highly effective weapons that were much cheaper than western arms.

Ukaine was more than happy to have renamed mosasaurs drone for future sales and never mention underworld corporation's help. I was already starting to withdraw from the ground war with the orks. Three months of fighting for revenge had coming to an end and my people wanted me back to work on research and developed the several new breakthoughs that I have waiting for. But more importantly, I been feeling the boundary to stage seven is creepy ever closer. So I needed to go into close door cultivation soon.
