Arknights? Colonization Ark!

It was a sudden destruction. The country's top leaders and the army suffered unprecedented heavy losses. The tsunami almost destroyed everything in its path. As the greatest symbol of the power of Terran humans, the 100 billion ton mobile city faced the disaster head-on. The hundreds of meters high city walls became the last line of defense for the Iberians.

Many people survived, but at the cost of everything in the past. The city was paralyzed, the grassroots of the country was in chaos, and people were struggling to survive in the chaos. The past glory of Iberia was like a fortress on the beach, which was washed away by the waves and left only a mess.

Iberia, which had lost most of its industrial capacity, had no ability to repair the mobile city. The Iron Guardian that had protected people's lives eventually quietly became a corpse on the beach, leaving the survivors to dismantle everything usable from it. In the end, even its name was changed to Saltwind City.

The huge metal keels, rusted by the sea breeze, are like the ribs of a giant's corpse. They are the last symbol of Corvado's existence. When the ocean disaster strikes again, it is now unable to resist and can only allow the traces of the sea to gradually climb up the houses on the edge of the city.

Hai Si began to search aimlessly for anything that might exist. The city buildings built of white stones were silent under the sunlight, with only the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the cracks. The messy rooms were empty, and the relatively wide roads were littered with luggage. At the other end of the city, panicked crowds were fleeing, and the soldiers of the Punishment Army were doing their best to maintain order but to no avail.

On the dragon bone city wall not far away, there were also people watching the sea descendants crawling in the city where they once lived.

"Kal'tsit, I wish you could lie just once."

The old man standing on the high wall is like a steel statue. Just looking at his strong back, you can't imagine that he is an old man with white hair and beard. His eyes are full of fatigue, and it can be seen that he has suffered tremendous pressure and frustration in the past few days.

Behind him, Kal'tsit was still wearing the same white coat that she had worn for thousands of years. Standing with her were two judges from the Inquisition.

"Lies may make you feel at ease, but this land will always use the most real pain to remind everyone who lives there. Anyone who tries to avoid reality will eventually drown in his or her own beautiful dream, or will the long time make your will begin to oxidize and rust along with these dragon bones."

With a forced march, it took the expeditionary force more than ten days to reach Iberia from Kazdel. Now, nearly a hundred trucks were stationed at the border of Iberia, confronting the punitive troops of the Inquisition.

Even though Iberia has had less contact with the outside world in the past few decades, it does not mean that they will allow foreign troops to enter the country at will, even if you are under the banner of fighting against the Haisi, especially the notorious Sarkaz.

This is why Kal'tsit came along. Currently, she is the only one with enough face to negotiate with the Iberian officials. Apart from Kal'tsit, even if Theresa came in person, the friction between the two sides would only escalate.

After all, if a bandit and murderer who has been a bandit for thousands of years suddenly comes to your door and asks for help, let alone opening the door, the Inquisition Court's greatest tolerance is not to start a war directly.

Knowing that Kal'tsit never joked, Carmen withstood the tremendous pressure, mobilized all the forces of Iberia, and began to forcibly relocate cities near the coastline.

Only Carmen had such prestige in Iberia. If it was Fedor who ordered the nobles to abandon their property and move, he might have died the next day because of falling into the lake while boating.

But if Hai Si does not come ashore in a short time, it will be a huge blow to both Carmen and the Inquisition, and may even directly destroy the foundation that has been hard-earned over the years.

To put it simply, if you win the bet, you get nothing, but just lose less. If you lose the bet, you have to start over from scratch. If you don't gamble, there is a certain possibility that you will not lose money, but there is a greater possibility that your whole family will go bankrupt.

In fact, even now, there are still a large number of people who do not cooperate with the transfer. This is related to the past style of the Tribunal. Anyone suspected of having secret communications with the Shendinghai Church will be taken away immediately. They do not explain to the residents at all. The gap formed between the two sides for a long time has directly led to the huge difficulties in the current transfer operation.

"There is no time, Carmen. The weakened Iberia does not have enough power to defend every coastline. Once these sea heirs infiltrate, even I will be powerless."

This is not alarmist. The sea snakes are not coming ashore for Iberia. Once they are allowed to enter the freshwater ecosystem or even adapt to the terrestrial ecosystem, the entire Terra will face an unprecedented huge threat.

While Kal'tsit was speaking, Hai Si had already come into contact with the defense line set up by the Punishment Army.

"Kelsey, answer my last question, what did you see?"

Carmen's heart was bleeding as he watched everything happen. Decades of hard work were now going to be destroyed. How would he explain this to his deceased companions?

As half a living history, Carmen is quite familiar with the Sarkaz. He does not question the motives of Kal'tsit and the Sarkaz for coming to support, because the Cyclops did the same thing back then.

Kal'tsit rarely continued to talk at length, and said bluntly

"I saw an opportunity to put an end to all the suffering."

Chapter 139: The Elegant Blood Demon Lord

"A chance to end it all? It's so rare to hear such brief words coming out of your mouth."

The scabbard in Carmen's hand knocked the ground twice. The two inquisitors moved at the sound and jumped down from the high wall in front of them to support the battlefield.

Even if these words came from Kal'tsit's mouth, he would not quite believe it. In the thousands of years of Terra's history, there are many capable people, and the only one who can be considered to have achieved something is Nightmare Khan.

But none of this matters now. Iberia must survive first, and only those who are alive are qualified to discuss what happens next.

"Let your people in, Kal'tsit, but these Sarkaz had better not have any evil intentions, otherwise the Inquisition will let them know that the glory of Iberia has never disappeared."

There was no emotion in Carmen's voice, but Kal'tsit knew that this was the last stubbornness of the old man in front of her. Iberia was now unable to hold out for too long under Hai Si's attack.

She immediately took out the communicator, spoke a few words, and then handed it to Carmen.

"Dario, let them in, and you take the Punishment Army to support Granfaro."

The low sound turned into neutrino signals. These particles would hit the neutrino receiving screen of Longmen across a distance of thousands of miles at nearly the speed of light, and then be sent back to the communicator in Bozhukas' hand to be converted into sound wave signals.

Neutrinos are extremely small among particles, and they can easily pass through the gaps between atoms. These operations are completed in an instant.

Dario, who was far away at the border, immediately recognized that it was the voice of his teacher. Standing with him were two other great inquisitors, and sitting opposite him was the tall and strong Bodrakast. The four of them had been in the center of the confrontation between the two armies for some time. After communicating, they found that the Sarkaz in front of them were unexpectedly peaceful, so there was not much hostility.

After repeatedly checking the secret code with Carmen to confirm that it was correct, the three of them immediately began to evacuate with the Punishment Army.

The Saints' decision was unquestionable; Haisi's attack was imminent and they had no time to waste here.

At the same time as the Punishment Army left, the Expeditionary Force also began to move. Hundreds of heavy trucks were divided into three teams. The missile troops would be stationed on the spot to provide long-range firepower strikes, and some logistics troops would disperse to survey the Iberian terrain.

It's not that they have any bad intentions, it's just that they are too far away from Kazdel, and the battle against Hai Si will take a long time. It is definitely unrealistic to obtain a large amount of resource supplies from the Inquisition, so they can only find a way themselves.

Providing logistical supplies to the defenders is not something that anyone can do. They are already the highest level technical personnel outside of the research institute. They then have to find suitable locations to set up logistical supply stations, build production lines, power stations, hospitals, purification stations, and even undertake certain scientific research work.

These hundreds of trucks carry complete basic equipment. If there is enough time, they can even build a steel defense line in Iberia.

After returning to his side, Bozhukas took off the huge helmet and handed it to the logistics department. Sitting in the car with him were Tracys and the Blood Demon Lord Bella Lugosi.

Especially Lugosi, he is now very impatient

"They actually left? I wanted to see if the blood of the Iberians was as hard as their mouths."

The blood demon's arrogance will not disappear just because he suffered a defeat in the civil war. If it weren't for Tracys's suppression, the two sides would probably have fought directly when Dario and others blocked their way.

Bored, I want to see rivers of blood!

This statement is a true portrayal of the vast majority of blood demons, except for a few shameful ones.

"Lugosi, this is not Kazdel."

Tracy's voice was still flat. His injuries had almost healed. In fact, most of the Sarkaz thought that they were exiles when they came to Iberia this time.

But with Theresis around, and since it was Theresia's order, most people didn't have any ideas.

Lugosi snorted indifferently. The sun here was too strong, the ultraviolet rays made his skin very uncomfortable, and the salty and humid sea breeze made him feel uncomfortable all over.

As one of the Ten Kings of the Sarkaz, Lord Blood Demon still paid great attention to his aristocratic style and was too lazy to continue chatting with Tracys. In fact, he was not very happy to come to Iberia, and he didn't like Bozhukas to replace this guy who ran away and came back.

But the food these people have is really good. I elegantly took today's afternoon tea from the side, a cup of blood tea with lemon fruit. Although it uses their artificial plasma, it tastes much better than the blood of the Terrans.

Genuine! Pure!

After drinking too much of this stuff, Lugosi began to worry that he would not be able to bear the smell of the Terran people's stinking blood in the future. After taking a small sip, he picked up a purple-red cube from the bowl next to him and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly.

Delicious~

They, the blood demons, usually drink fresh human blood. Blood will rot and deteriorate if it is out of the human body for a long time. If it is put in a freezer and then taken out, it will have a stale and decayed taste. However, the expeditionary force's frozen blood bank not only maintains the activity of the plasma, but also has a unique flavor after processing.

Seeing the Blood Demon Lord like this, Tracys's face remained calm. When Lugosi was first ordered by Theresa to come to Iberia, he looked reluctant and said that he came for Tracys' sake. After getting in the car, he never stopped talking and made sarcastic remarks to Bozhukas, like a two-faced person.

As a result, Bozhukas took a few bags of plasma from the blood bank and blocked his mouth. The blood demons who came with him changed their faces faster than turning pages of a book, and insisted on following the blood bank truck.

For Bozhukasti, using artificial blood cultivated from these cloned stem cells to shut the mouth of the Blood Demon Lord is more cost-effective than anything else. After all, there are only a few dozen mouths, and they can't eat up a truck of blood and a large amount of nutrient solution.

The huge convoy sped across the border of Iberia. The roads were uneven and dilapidated, but it did not affect Tracys and his men's military preparations at all, because they were going to fight a tough battle.

In front of the three of them was a transparent map. Iberia was fine, but the sphere of influence of Agor further south in the ocean was quite vague. This was all drawn by Kal'tsit based on memory, and the logistics team had to redraw it.

"According to the information provided by the doctor, the current Hai Si should be in a state of chaos. Without the command of the newborn, they have no organization and act entirely on instinct. However, the Iberian coastline is too long. Even if the Inquisition and we are combined, we cannot take care of it all. So we have to find a way to concentrate the targets of the Hai Si in one location and fight a war of annihilation. As long as all the Hai Si near the coast are eliminated, Iberia will be temporarily safe."

Chapter 140: The Iberian War

Haisi's body is very strong and flexible. Unlike carbon-based creatures such as the Terrans, Haisi is not a purely carbon-based life form.

You can find signs of carbon-based, sulfur-based, amino-based and even silicon-based life in them, which is why the shapes of sea urchins are so varied.

They can update and iterate themselves according to the different environments in which life currently exists. If the environment is extreme, they will evolve into sulfur-based or boron-based organisms. If there is no water or atmosphere and they need to travel in the universe in the flesh, they will evolve into silicon-based life, and so on.

Precisely because they knew how powerful their enemies were, the doctor and his colleagues basically piled up everything they could imagine and directly created a multi-ground state life form. As for whether it was successful in the end, perhaps only those researchers who have already integrated into the large group know.

But the result of them piling up so much Haisi material was that not long after the clash between Haisi and the Punishment Army began, the human side fell into a disadvantage.

Even the unprotected flesh exposed outside the shell has a hardness close to that of ordinary alloys. Add to that the sticky gelatinous mucus, and if you are not a well-trained soldier and use the wrong force, the sword may slip when it is chopped.

Only the compound crossbow can cause direct damage to Hai Si. One arrow can basically penetrate the target within fifty meters. But the problem is that it is difficult for a Hai Si to be directly paralyzed or killed by a penetrating wound. To kill a Hai Si, at least three to four arrows are needed, or more expensive explosive arrows and grenade launchers can be used. However, the warlocks' various Originium spells have a good effect on Hai Si.

Hai Si poses a great threat to the soldiers. His strong tentacles can easily break a person's thigh bone. The armor equipped by the punitive soldiers does not provide much protection against Hai Si's teeth. At most, the protective ceramics and composite fibers installed inside will be bitten through in a few seconds. The damage caused by Hai Si will also cause symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, and vomiting to the wounded. According to the wounded's statement, when they were hit by Hai Si, it was like being hit on the head with a hammer.

However, the Inquisitor's participation in the battle slowed down the rate of retreat of the defense line.

Miguel roamed the battlefield with his agile body, and easily pierced the flexible skin of the sea creature in front of him with the long sword in his hand, and crushed its brain. The sea creature didn't even have time to cry out when it died. Then he drew out the long sword and swung it casually, spilling blood, flesh and brain matter all over the ground.

This was a gift given to him by his teacher, Grand Inquisitor Brochero, on the day he became an Inquisitor.

But now is not the time to cherish weapons. After quickly chopping up two or three sea snakes, the surrounding sea snakes seemed to be stimulated by something and rushed here frantically. They waved their tentacles, twisted their bodies strangely, and kept making indescribable hissing sounds from their mouthparts. The sound was sharp and piercing, as if it wanted to tear your scalp and drill into it.

But when that strange power approached Miguel, it was blocked by another inexplicable force. It was the lantern on his waist. The special source stone lamp oil was emitting a faint light that seemed to be going out at any time. But in fact, no matter how vigorously Miguel moved, the light never went out.

Seeing that more and more sea creatures were surrounding him, he swung his sword with one hand to cut off a few chitinous spikes, and quickly raised his other hand. Fire spurted out from the muzzle of a pistol similar to the Lateran firearm. The explosive fire that was completely unrelated to the muzzle blew away all four or five sea creatures that were about to get close to him. Then he reached out to the syllable box hanging on his waist, which contained the Bible of the Inquisition.

That is, a highly potent Originium explosive with rows of scriptures engraved on it.

With a throw, several cylindrical Bibles fell into the advancing group of Hai Si. The next moment, fierce flames enveloped the entire street. After all, Hai Si's body was not made of steel. The soft internal organs were eroded by the shock wave, and the skin was roasted black and crispy by the flames. The broken body kept twisting under the stimulation of the remaining nerve potential difference.

The huge casualties instead stimulated the herd of sea snakes, and they rushed towards the culprit that caused everything even more ferociously, and the entire street was almost filled with their bodies.

When the sea creatures here are attacked, the sea creatures from other places will quickly know about it and swarm in. From Kal'tsit's perspective, the entire side of Saltwind City facing the sea has almost turned blue-black. The Sea Mark is growing slowly under the sun, and countless sea creatures are crawling on it. They are like waves, tirelessly attacking the defense line. Although the Punishment Army has slowed them down, it is only a matter of time before the city defenses are submerged.

As for other places, even if Kal'tsit hadn't seen them, she knew clearly that they were not much different from here. The power of the Iberian Inquisition was not weak. There were thirty-seven Grand Inquisitors alone, and two hundred ordinary Inquisitors like Miguel. There were also hundreds of thousands of Punishment Troops, not to mention the remaining Golden Fleet.

If a real fight breaks out, even Victoria would have half a leg broken.

But even so, it is still not good enough in front of Hai Si.

To be precise, they are the sea heirs in the offshore area, and their number is probably more than a hundred times that of the Inquisition.

Every fallen soldier of the Punishment Army is a real loss, but Hai Si's death is insignificant. His corpse will be recycled into the large group to feed his compatriots. In their eyes, devouring their own kind has no moral burden at all.

They have no morals.

On the other side, the crowded crowd was still moving slowly, their faces were full of numbness, their clothes were tattered, and their faces were pale and thin. The people of Yanfeng City didn't know what Haisi was, but they knew that things in the sea could be traded. This was what the bishop of the church told them, and those who had nothing could only trade themselves.

So they would sacrifice one person to the sea creatures for a limited time in exchange for food, some shells and fish.

The officer who maintained order looked at the slow movement speed anxiously, and he was almost exhausted. The brothers in the city would be injured or killed every minute and every second. If this continued, even if all the punitive soldiers were killed, the refugees would not be able to get more than a few dozen miles away.

boom!

Flames shot up into the sky in the city, with a noise as loud as thunder. It was the large amount of explosives pre-buried by the Punishment Army. The huge noise caused a riot among the crowd, and they finally quickened their pace.

Several explosions occurred shortly afterwards, and the explosives that were detonated one after another almost set the city on fire. Even Minghen was blown out with a large hole. The Haisi in the city suffered heavy losses, but then the Haisi outside the city rushed in like a tide, and the mutilated corpses were quickly eaten by them, and then they screamed and pounced on the Punishment Army, who had no time to rest for a while.

"Is there no end to this shit?"

Chapter 141: I have a little doubt about whether your legend is true

The explosives buried in advance razed half of the city to the ground. The light blue blood of the sea creatures almost washed the gray city from inside to outside. The two judges and the punitive army tried their best and killed almost twice as many sea creatures as themselves, but it was still useless. Such a huge price only bought less than half an hour. The sea creatures behind came like waves, and because of the collapse of a large number of houses, there was no obstacle to their advance. Their reinforcements were faster and in larger numbers this time.

Faced with the sea of ​​enemies that was surrounding them again with no end in sight, despair spread within everyone. When Miguel reached into his phylactery to take out the explosives, he touched nothing. He was shocked and looked back, only to find that all the explosives had been used up.

He quickly shouted to his companions in the distance.

"Hernan! I'm out of explosives, you guys..."

Before he could finish his words, Miguel saw the other party swinging the syllable box like a meteor hammer and smashing it on the head of a Haisi. The Haisi was hammered into a pulp, and his muscular biceps was as big as Miguel's head.

He had forgotten that Hernan and his mentor, Cervantes, were the same in that they preferred solid phylacteries rather than filling them with explosives.

[There is no more merciful salvation than carving scriptures on the face of your enemy]

Hernan, who was almost dyed blue, turned around and replied to Milger after hammering over another piece of sea. He didn't realize how hideous his bloody face was at the moment.

"what did you just say?"

The sound of his voice was as recognizable as his body. Miguel choked and returned to

"No...nothing..."

Just as he was thinking about whether to go back to the rear for supplies, he heard Hernan shouting

"Miguel! Look, Haisi is retreating!"

Retreat? How is that possible?

Could it be that Hai Si felt that the casualties were too heavy and so he retreated?

Miguel jumped onto the platform and looked into the distance, and found that Haisi's actions had indeed changed, but he did not retreat, but changed direction.

The tide of Haisi that was originally rushing towards Yanfeng City seemed to be inspired by something. They simply abandoned the piles of Haisi corpses on the spot and ignored even the enemies who were still fighting. They all moved in one direction.
