Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

The Terrans' long-standing fear of natural disasters was ignited on the battlefield. Even when officers forced them with bayonets, no one was willing to stay in a place that could be destroyed by a new natural disaster caused by the enemy at any time and continue to resist.

Thirty thousand pigs would take the Kazdel people several weeks to prepare, but thirty thousand people with warships, permanent bunkers, and ample supplies surrendered en masse in less than five days.

Thanks to the good permanent bunkers and the protection of the warships, their casualties were actually not high. It was only after the subsequent bombings, which allowed the thunderstorms to rage for a longer period of time, that serious damage and casualties began to occur, when some of the external equipment of the warships were burned.

Having lost an entire squadron, the Leitanians' offensive went from a stalemate to a retreat, and then to a massive rout. Rumors spread that the enemy could trigger natural disasters on the battlefield.

Even though military police and officers forbade talking about it, it couldn't stop more frontline soldiers from realizing this.

Terra's past propaganda has been that natural disasters are calamities that are beyond human control; otherwise, why would there be a structure like a mobile city?

To put it bluntly, if they can't hold out, they have no choice but to run. Even cities have to be moved on wheels to escape, so it's inevitable that their own rudimentary defensive fortifications will also fail and they will have to run away.

When one person starts to flee, the situation can be resolved by the supervisory team. When there are more than ten people, suppression is needed. When a hundred or a thousand people start to abandon their positions and are not prepared to wait to die in the place where natural disaster is about to hit, no matter how skilled the general is, he cannot prevent his army from turning into a disorganized mess overnight.

The retreat turned into a flight, the flight into a rout, and finally into a marathon race of 100,000 people. Kazdel's army didn't even pursue them much. Fear itself became the most terrifying pursuer, forcing everyone to run for their lives.

All supplies, weapons, and equipment were abandoned. Some of the reinforcements from the rear didn't even realize what was happening; they only saw people in front of them running away as if they had been terrified.

Under these circumstances, the already demoralized Leitanian reinforcements naturally followed suit and fled.

Even as some of the more elite units managed to stop some of the deserters and prepare for defense on the spot, news of the enemy using natural disasters as weapons to bombard the positions also spread at the same time.

After passing through countless hands, the news had become extremely horrifying. When only one or two people said it, the officers could actually try to verify it.

However, if every friendly force you encounter says the same thing, noble officers, by their very nature, will absolutely not take the risk. They will order their troops to retreat a distance, especially their personal guards and themselves.

The problem is that, in this time of widespread panic, once this order was given, the unit quickly joined the marathon race.

The Sarkaz mountain division and air force division that followed behind seemed to be on a picnic, and every now and then they would pick up prisoners by the roadside who were too tired to run or who had lost all their supplies and were hungry and cold.

"Man-made natural disaster? What a joke! There's a limit to how much you can disregard science!" When this news reached Letania, all the councilors and senior military officials had expressions that said, "Are you kidding me?"

A weapon capable of triggering massive man-made natural disasters (rumored to be upgraded) anywhere, and the enemy isn't using it as a decisive weapon or a superweapon, but rather equipping it to a group of light infantry units for widespread deployment (rumored to be upgraded) – is that still Kazdel? Or have you idiots gone to the wrong place and ended up getting hammered by the Great Yan?

If you say Victoria or Da Yan have it, people might still be skeptical, but if you say Kazdel has it?

Hmm? A group of slaves who have only recently started farming and are no longer entirely dependent on the weather, have artificial disaster triggers?

If it were just this, people wouldn't panic. After all, there are many ancient ruins in Kazdel. What if they unearth some strange ancient super weapon?

But to say that they can be deployed at any time and deployed to the front lines... that's a huge exaggeration!

These days, almost everyone has one or two of these advanced superweapons. However, they're either heavily limited, difficult to repair, or disposable. You're suddenly telling me the enemy has tons of these and is carelessly dumping them on the battlefield? Are you insulting the Council's intelligence?

The problem was that with the constant stream of news from the front lines, and photos of the thunderstorm bombing site taken by a small group of special forces who still retained some loyalty, Parliament was forced to believe that the enemy possessed such a thing.

Then they calculated, based on the lowest values ​​of the destructive power and coverage of natural disasters in Terra's history, how many rounds could Letania withstand based on the current deployment of Kazdel and the theoretically required number of weapons in stock—in the end, everyone was numb—"enough to nuke you three times and still have some left over."

In reality, there weren't that many, that wide a range, or that much power.

Moreover, the production capacity simply cannot keep up. The main reason is that the production cycle of pig brains, which is the main raw material, is different from that of other raw materials. It is produced monthly, and the doctor has already lost all the ammunition he had accumulated in a year.

However, that's how intelligence warfare works. Without knowing the specifics of Kazdel and the parameters of its weapons, they could only convert the parameters based on those of the Cataclysm on Terra, and then refer to the exaggerated claims from the front lines—ultimately arriving at a horrifying conclusion.

[PS]

The reason Kazdel's research and development speed is so astonishing is not because they are smarter than others, or because scientists in other countries are incompetent—

Rather, their bombs and related weapons and power technologies are actually integrations of technologies that Terra already possesses, or even outdated low-end technologies.

Other countries had considered this before, but they couldn't find eight hundred sorcerers to fit into bullet casings and fire them.

However, Lao Xia can selectively breed a pig-brain version of a targeted sorcerer, stuff it into a bullet casing, and fire it.

Essentially, it's like Kazdel sending thousands of warlocks to their deaths on the front lines, creating miniature natural disasters in the affected areas.

It's not that their technology is actually more advanced than that of other countries, or that their research and development speed is as if it were completed in an instant with the flick of a finger; rather, it's because... well, they've piled up low-end technology.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Sunbathing

Chapter 32

The Leitanians have almost reverted to their state at the start of the war. However, Kazdel has also failed to reclaim the lost border farmland, a vast plain that the reorganized Leitanian fleet firmly guards, making it difficult for them to attack.

Dropping charge bombs requires extremely large bombers, and both the transport of the aircraft and the speed of the warlocks' relocation are slow. The front-line troops only have basic weapons and equipment and are unable to launch any attacks.

Not to mention, the raw materials for this bomb have been exhausted, and it will be at least several months before a second batch can be produced. The bomb core trigger, which is composed of brain chips, artificial Terra blood, artificial neural networks and Originium neural networks, has a limited shelf life and needs to be replaced at most once a year. It is also impossible to store more.

With the enemy not triggering another man-made miniature natural disaster, and with their own land fleet gradually regrouping, and if they couldn't withstand the natural disaster but could at least escape, the Leitanians successfully regrouped in a sense.

At the very least, those routed soldiers knew that they couldn't outrun a natural disaster on foot, and that only by boarding a land-based ship could they have a chance to escape, so they slowly stopped walking.

However, these terrified soldiers, lacking equipment, supplies, and baggage, were clearly no longer fit to be sent to the front lines.

At least from this perspective, Letania's forces are still sufficient, successfully intimidating the other side and preventing the Sarkaz from continuing their attack.

Fighting a land fleet on the plains is a foolish thing to do, even with charge bombs. Those things take a considerable amount of time to build up, and by the time they reach the trigger threshold, the target has long since left the damage zone.

The first time it was used, it might have given them an intelligence advantage. Now that everyone knows, when they see those bombs falling, the land-based ships won't foolishly stay still. Instead, they will decisively evade and move out of the border zone.

If the damage cannot be accumulated to a certain threshold, it cannot trigger a large-scale destructive effect, and the power of a single bomb is really negligible.

The question now facing all Leitanians is how to end this war gracefully. Or, to determine whether the enemy has any stockpiles of Cataclysmic weapons capable of destroying Leitania.

Of course, the news was quickly relayed to Victoria and Kazimierz, and Ursus also received the information to some extent.

The reactions from all sides were quite different. Victoria, on the one hand, called for the punishment of the Kazdel people who created the weapon, and further elevated their original demonic status to the point of portraying them as the culprits of all the disasters in Terra. On the other hand, she contracted the frontline fleet, preparing each fleet to relocate and deal with possible natural disaster bombing.

Clearly, Victoria's strategy was to shout slogans, send others to their deaths, observe for a while, and then reap the rewards.

Ursus, on the other hand, swiftly requested Kazdel to provide prototypes of the Cataclysmic Weapons as a partner.

Their wars with Columbia and Casimir were going poorly, and Letania's declaration of war dealt a heavy blow to Ursus. The entire Ursus army was divided into three parts, fighting bitterly on three battlefields.

It was almost entirely thanks to the arrival of winter and the harsh weather in Ursus that they were able to barely withstand the attack, and the young emperor's military reforms were beginning to show results.

However, unexpectedly, Letania and Casimir declared war, resulting in the weakening of the only modern army and heavy casualties, with signs of a resurgence of noble warlords.

While maintaining a consistent diplomatic stance with Victoria, Kazimir was also making various attempts to communicate with Kazdel behind the scenes, seemingly trying to please both sides without offending either.

As for Rembitox, they were the first to jump out and demand sanctions and military action. In their propaganda, they almost portrayed the Doctor and his companions as demon kings from hell, destined to slaughter and enslave all of Terra.

It's understandable that they're in such a hurry. If Kazdel really rises to power, the geopolitical environment of Rembiton and the Eastern Kingdom will be no different.

To the east lies the sea and the invasion of the sea creatures. The other three directions are Kazdel, Iberia, and the Great Yan. The Great Yan has always kept its borders closed and has no say in the matter. The open port of Lungmen has been blocked by Kazdel. So Rembiton is essentially sitting in a cage. It's no wonder they're anxious.

Although Rembitox did not directly participate in the war, they also had their own problems, namely the start of the workers' movement.

The main reason is that after the previous engineering cooperation with Kazdel was ordered to end, the Rembit workers who had enjoyed the labor protection provided by Lao Xia spontaneously demanded that Rembit increase wages, adjust vacation time, improve labor protection, and especially increase the list of affordable treatment drugs for Oripathy.

This absurd demand was naturally rejected by Rembitox's entrepreneurs; they could barely negotiate on affordable treatments.

After all, being infected means losing a portion of the workforce, and even with high insurance deductions, the burden on businesses is still somewhat heavy.

If they can import those cheap inhibitors from Kazdel, they wouldn't mind making a little less money from it and selling them at cost. After all, making less money is better than not making any or even losing money, right?

However, salary increases and more vacation time were out of the question, let alone more comprehensive labor protections. Under these circumstances, Rembitox's own domestic problems also came to the fore.

Most importantly, the entrepreneurs never expected that the returning Carters would be so full of fighting spirit that the crackdown, which has caused chaos, has actually made them more united.

Rembitox therefore accused Kazdel of funding these individuals and shipping weapons and equipment into their country.

However, in reality, this was done by the Iberians and Agorians, whose original purpose was to launch the previous Haisi attack. The eastern side of Rembito is also a coastline, so a considerable amount of armed force was needed.

However, Rembitox's official corporate forces are unreliable; they can only try to train some more determined troops.

Otherwise, no matter where the Haisi broke through, it would be a disaster for everyone. Under these circumstances, the Agor people provided equipment and military training to a group of Rembitos on the border.

In short, the entire eastern continent of Terra is now in complete chaos. Sea creatures and humans, humans and humans, workers and businesses, nations and nations are all locked in fierce battles, creating a scene of utter disorder.

The Great Yan, on the outer defense line of the capital, Hai Si launched an attack in three lines and has already crossed the mountain pass defense line. The densely watered Jiangnan region has provided them with ample supply points and routes to advance along the waterways.

With multiple sluice gates of the Great Yan breached, the Hai Si on the northern front bypassed the Northern Legion's defenses and surged towards the capital along the North River. Meanwhile, in the central region, the troops that the Great Yan had painstakingly assembled were engaged in fierce battles with the sea monsters in Ziwu Town, and the southern front collapsed at the first sign of trouble. It seemed that the capital was about to be surrounded on all sides.

Some have suggested relocating the capital to break through the siege and move to Shangshu, using the natural defenses of the three mountains and eighteen peaks to fight against Hai Si.

The sea monster has cut off most of the external routes of the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the order to come to the aid of the emperor has been issued.

Although there were responses from all sides, most of them were too far away to help in the immediate crisis. Moreover, many places were willing but unable to do so, as they themselves were facing attacks from Hai Si and simply could not spare any manpower.

The relatively well-equipped Shuofang Army was barely able to maintain control of the area it controlled, and they sent a reinforcement force of 4000 men to help. However, facing attacks from both northern demons and sea monsters, it was difficult to spare more men.

This reinforcement force, however, was blocked outside the city walls of the capital to prevent the sea monster from infiltrating, and could only try to set up camp in the low-lying areas outside the city and the surrounding slums.

Even now, the high-ranking officials in the court are still wary of the rise of the military. What if this elite force enters the capital and seizes the city in a coup?

There were precedents for this in the history of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the emperor had no choice but to agree to the arrangement.

Old Chen and Sister Gui were assigned to patrol the Great Yan capital's defense line. Why are they here?

Because they had to stay here, as hostages in a sense. With the capital about to be besieged, whether the emperor held out to the death or moved the capital to Shangshu, he worried that Wei might simply ascend the throne at Longmen. Similarly, there was a precedent for this in the history of the Great Yan Dynasty. [Emperor Suzong of Tang did exactly that.]

After all, if the emperor is on the run or trapped in a siege and unable to perform his duties, it is only natural for a prince or crown prince to ascend the throne early and continue the war. Even moralists couldn't call him a traitor; they might even praise him. [Emperor Qinzong of Song did the same.]

Indeed, there are countless examples; you could find seven or eight just by flipping through a book. Therefore, the emperor dared not run away, nor could he. Sitting in the grand palace of the capital, he was the emperor; if he ran, he would no longer be—

But there's no difference if he doesn't run away. Once the siege begins, the city will be isolated from the outside world. What can he do if Wei declares himself independent?

Is he supposed to just sit and wait to die, and then have his uncle lead his men to successfully quell the rebellion, shed a few crocodile tears over his own corpse, and then sit in that position?

While it's true that Lao Wei probably doesn't have that idea, the key is not whether he wants to or not, but whether he can actually do it. After all, ideas can change at any time, but whether one can actually do it is not so easy to change.

Therefore, the emperor had to take precautions, which meant bringing Old Chen and Sister Gui to the capital. If Old Wei thought he really didn't know Chen Huijie's bloodline and identity, that would be too insulting. It can only be said that everyone had to maintain a "decent" facade before, so they pretended not to know.

Now, in order to maintain a "decent" appearance for everyone, he, as the older cousin, naturally wanted to find his younger cousin to meet her, let her stay in the capital for a couple of days, sit for a while, and then release her—it was just a pity that they encountered a siege.

If Old Wei maintains a dignified appearance from beginning to end, then the Emperor of Great Yan will allow his entire family to return home with dignity. If he doesn't maintain a dignified appearance, then the Emperor of Great Yan will also have no choice but to become dignified.

“I think this place is doomed…” Old Chen looked despairing after inspecting the area. “How did the Great Yan become like this?” Back home, her view of the Great Yan capital and its military was: like that of a god!

Even when she was studying at the Victoria Guard Academy, she held the same view. Her teachers and classmates described the military strength of the Great Yan Dynasty as: "like gods!"

Then, now standing atop the city wall, which is theoretically the most heavily fortified city in Great Yan, overlooking the defenses and outposts outside the city, only four words came to mind: It's doomed!

Can you believe that the "elite" troops selected by the Lungmen Guard Bureau, who are mostly corrupt and lazy in Lungmen, are actually an elite force on this section of the city wall?

First, these people all had the Tiger Bee submachine guns they had previously purchased. The first batch of equipment made by Lao Xia combined wet components with Star Alliance technology was very effective against the Sea Monsters. The high rate of fire could quickly destroy the sea monsters, and the high temperature would evaporate their body fluids and prevent them from healing.

Secondly, sniper operators also have the Snow Rabbit rifle, which uses turreted rounds and can basically eliminate "Fun Eggs" in two shots each, preventing Sea Siege from transporting biomass and retrieving corpses, and also destroying positions.

Furthermore, the molten sword, a melee weapon, is also very useful. In combat, it can easily slice Hai Zi into pieces and bury him.

Ultimately, whether those police mechs are effective in war is another matter. But at least they look imposing and powerful.

Hai Si had never fought these members of the Guard Bureau, but he had fought against various criminals, and most importantly, he had fought against the mercenaries who attacked Rhine Life before, so he had a bit of a murderous aura about him.
