This Terra is a little weird.

"We have taken over the B-3 area. The mine is here."

“It’s probably been flooded.”

"The mineral deposits inside won't run away. The second group should be here soon. Let's keep moving forward."

The squadron leader gestured to the squire knights, then ordered the Chimera armored vehicle to continue moving forward, with the Space Marine squads standing at the Chimera's external machine gun positions.

An hour after the Second Corps launched its attack, the attack on the first line of defense also began.

But what no one expected was that a severe storm emerged from the ocean, and heavy rains swept across Iberia, also affecting REM Billiton.

Huge storms arose on the sea surface and volcanoes on the sea floor erupted.

The sudden disaster caught everyone off guard.

"Report! The concentration of Originium in the air exceeds the standard. A natural disaster is about to happen!" the staff officer said to the Patriot.

"Where? Isn't this area very stable?"

"Not anymore. The Scourge will break out in the southern part of RemBitto and the first and second Iberian defense lines, and..."

"what?"

"The tsunami is really coming."

"..."

Chapter 213 Disaster

"Don't take those damn baggage with you! Get everyone on the plane and evacuate immediately!"

Luo Chen walked through group of people, standing on a high place with a loudspeaker and giving orders continuously.

"Never mind those damned Chimeras and Lemanus! Take all the men away! We don't have time to keep these chariots running around!"

Cables were tied to the bodies of the Thunder Eagle gunboat and the Storm fuselage, connected to simply welded fence stations. They could carry a lot of people at a time, and combined with those in the cabin, they could transport a lot of people at a time.

The Astra Militarum Command was in a state of chaos at this time, and once the evacuation order was issued, everything was in complete disarray.

Central Iberia needed to be evacuated, soldiers on the front line needed to be evacuated, and even civilians in the rear needed to be evacuated.

"Tell me practically, how big is the disaster-stricken area?" Patriot asked the technician.

"The tsunami and natural disasters will arrive almost at the same time, and the disaster area will cover most of Iberia. Perhaps we need to retreat to northern Iberia."

"The south and the center will be lost? A tsunami? Even the southern part of RIM will be lost, are you sure?"

"I don't want to be sure. Originally, this kind of disaster was impossible to happen in Iberia and Rem Billiton. Even if Bolivar was flooded, Iberia would not have this kind of disaster. But the problem now is that it has really come, and it is accompanied by natural disasters. We must retreat."

The Patriot turned around: "Evacuation work?!"

"It's already 20 percent done."

"too slow."

The technician said, "We only have a little over fifty minutes."

The Patriot made a decision in an instant: "The Thunderhawks, Storm Crows and all available aircraft of the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth Corps are to be launched into the air. Abandon any rescue operations of heavy equipment and supplies. Abandon all settlements and factories on the ground. Tell civilians not to carry any items and evacuate immediately. Those who violate the rules will be shot on the spot."

"Yes!"

The soldiers in the first line of defense were evacuating quickly. Heavy rain carrying Originium particles was pouring down. Everyone wore gas masks and armor tightly to prevent any skin from being exposed. They put on raincoats and quickly boarded the Thunderhawks to evacuate.

But there were too many people in the entire Third Corps, so everyone could only go to the nearest mobile warship and evacuate together.

Fortunately, the mobile battleship was nearby, and a large number of tanks and armored vehicles boarded the mobile battleship, but there was almost no time to dismantle the fixed artillery. Only those positions close to the battleship and the mobile city had the large artillery such as the earth-shaking cannon removed. The rest of the positions could only take away some light mortars, and almost all the ammunition was still on the positions.

The first line of defense completed the evacuation within forty minutes, but they left behind a large number of heavy weapons and had no time to take away the ammunition. The communication stations, medical stations and warehouses were all destroyed.

The Linguang family drove the knight mecha to push the mobile battleship and accelerated towards the north of Iberia, but they encountered many civilian settlements on the way. The pilots had no time to rest and went back and forth between the mobile battleship and the settlements.

On the way they also encountered a moving city that was moving even slower. The Knight Mech had to turn around and push it forward, but they still hadn't left the area where the disaster occurred.

Since the second line of defense in central Iberia had not been built, the Fourth and Fifth Corps were quickly evacuated and used their remaining resources to help evacuate the central cities. Many settlements had no time to rescue them. Everyone was equipped with a radio, but the Astra Militarum could only notify these settlements that had no time to attend to and told them to run as far as they could.

The Astra Militarum couldn't even take care of itself. Many armored vehicles were abandoned. The top forces, the Lemanus and super heavy armored companies, as well as some lightweight armored companies, boarded mobile battleships or mobile cities.

Compared with the situation in Iberia, the situation in RemBitto was quite bad. During the offensive, the Chimera and Lemanus tanks that penetrated deep into the south had no time to drive away. The crew and drivers were picked up by Thunder Eagles. These precious armored forces were stuck in the mud waiting for the tsunami to come.

All the remaining settlements and factories in the southern part of Rembiti became extremely chaotic, causing great trouble to the Second Corps and the Combined Corps during their rescue operations.

They even had to shoot some troublemakers before they could take away all the civilians. Factories, facilities and mines worth tens of millions of dollars were left empty, waiting to be swallowed up by disaster.

An hour later, a huge black and red storm first descended on central Iberia. Huge Originium fell from the sky, smashing trenches, residential buildings and factories into powder. A huge amount of Originium dust floated in the air. The super-magnitude natural disaster storm turned the area of ​​hundreds of kilometers into a death zone.

The mobile battleships and mobile cities were encompassed by the natural disaster before they could escape from central Iberia.

Originium crystals continued to smash into the warships and the city. A raging fire broke out in the city. People's cries and screams resounded throughout the city. Originium dust entered their bodies through their mouths and noses, turning them into infected people.

The city's law enforcers and inquisition personnel worked hard to rescue the people and evacuate them into the middle area of ​​the city, but there were simply too many people. Furthermore, as huge Originium crystals fell from the sky, the middle deck was pierced by the sharp Originium crystals, and there was no safe place in the mobile city.

A huge crystal hit the adamantium armor of a Ranger Knight squarely, shattering the Originium crystal and splashing a huge amount of Originium dust, which drifted into the city with the wind.

"Maria!" Ma Enna Lin Guang called his niece anxiously. The Originium dust enveloped the Ranger Knight Mech driven by Maria Lin Guang. She could not see what was going on, but the opponent's machine signal was still there.

"I'm fine!"

The huge chainsaw sword split open the mist made of slate dust, and the other three people felt relieved.

Seeing that they couldn't leave for the time being, Ma Enna said, "Remove the limiter, increase the energy output to the maximum, and activate the void shield!"

A layer of lavender shield rose up and covered the knight mecha. The enhanced power also increased the output power of the knight mecha. They pushed the mobile city to speed up the escape from the disaster-affected area.

The Patriot sat on the Thunderhawk and stared at the huge storm in the distance. The center of the storm was like a huge eye, overlooking the earth.

"How many people haven't left yet?!"

"There are still three mobile battleships that have not left the affected area. One of them has been destroyed by the Originium crystal. The people on it are probably already... Then, there is another mobile city that is being evacuated. The Linguang family is driving a knight mecha to push it away."

"Tell them to speed up! The tsunami is coming soon."

As soon as the patriot finished speaking, on the sea, a curtain of water so huge that it broke through the sky came straight towards the land. No one saw that doomsday scene.

The tsunami swept across the entire beach in an instant and did not collapse until it reached the land. The huge amount of sea water, carrying countless terrifying fish, quickly flooded the entire south and then poured into the central region.

The cannons firmly fixed on the defense line were pulled up by the sea and rushed into the central area along with the extremely fast-flowing sea water.

A few minutes later, the tsunami also arrived in RimBitol. Like Iberia, the entire south had turned into a lake, and it only slowed down after being blocked by tall mountains in the middle.

Luo Chen stood on the Thunder Eagle and watched the raging sea through the machine gun position.

"How is such a disaster possible? Are we really fighting against the entire ocean?"

A few hours later, the Linguang family finally pushed the mobile city into the northern area. They did not dare to look at the situation inside the city. Seawater was pouring into it, and the city was riddled with holes from the Originium. Even if there were survivors, they would most likely be severely infected.

The disaster has stopped, but the human losses are incalculable.

The Patriots wanted to see the situation of the retreating personnel. The large number of wounded piled up on the city roads blocked the way forward. Many areas of the mobile city were marked with boundary bars and turned into infected areas.

The Patriot asked the Chief of Staff, Cashaw, beside him: "How many people have returned?"

"You really want to listen, Mr. Patriot? As an old friend, I still..."

"Go ahead, Kashaw. As the commander, I need to be clear."

"...The Astra Militarum and Iberian Armed Forces, deployed in the south and central regions, total 850,000 people, more than 200,000 missing, and the central region's civilian population is approximately 20 million, so 8 million people are missing."

"Eight million?"

"The mobile city that was pushed back to the north by the Linguang family...there were almost no survivors. In addition, many settlements and ground cities did not have time to evacuate. The missing...is just a nice way of saying it."

The patriot stared at the sun in the sky, which was shrouded by thick fog. It was dim... The patriot felt only dim...

Ka Xiao continued: "Do you want to listen to the report sent by Luo Chen? Your Excellency Patriot..."

"Rem Billiton, just tell me about the loss."

"Very big, very big..."

Luo Chen was standing in the command center, and the conversation between him and the commander of the Second Corps was almost an argument.

The Second Corps lost an entire armored company, more than a dozen Lemanus and more than twenty Chimera armored vehicles, as well as many mechas and sentinels, which was almost equivalent to scrapping one leg of the Second Corps.

Since its establishment, it has never suffered such a huge loss.

The number of missing persons reports in RIM Billiton was less than that in Iberia, but still considerable. More than 800,000 military and civilians were missing, and countless production facilities were destroyed by the sea.

The two people finally parted unhappily, and the rescue plan was hastily finalized.

The most important thing now is the wounded and the infected. Everyone’s actions are very clear: those who need to be isolated should be isolated, and those who need to be treated should be treated.

But Luo Chen thought of one thing. In the current situation, it seems that humans cannot hold on to Iberia. The losses caused by the two disasters are almost incalculable. The terrifying fish are also likely to take advantage of the situation to attack. They will not give up this great opportunity.

But it is difficult to retreat in the current situation, unless we abandon all the wounded and run with those who have arms and legs. But if we leave tens of thousands of people to escape at once, the earth that has been held together with great difficulty will break in an instant.

Disasters are beyond human control, but abandoning the wounded and running away proves the incompetence of the Astra Militarum. Since the Astra Militarum is incompetent, it cannot protect everyone, so it is better to use the resources on themselves.

Therefore, in order to maintain this fragile situation, Luo Chen had to transfer the entire Terra Guard Regiment to Iberia, with a small number coming to Rem Billiton.

They were carrying out a very important mission before, sending troops deep into the north to check the movements of the evil spirits.

But it takes a lot of time to run from the northernmost part of the earth to the southern part. It takes at least a week for the Thunder Eagle to transport the entire regiment.

Luo Chen had no other choice. The Second Corps had no time to take care of others. They also needed to defend Rembilt. The only one that could support Iberia was the First Corps in Sargon.

Transporting troops is also a big problem. The railway from Sargon to northern Iberia has not been completed yet. It requires vehicles and mobile cities, which also takes seven days.

Luo Chen sat on the glove box and looked at the chaotic scene in the mobile city, but he was not panicked, nor did he think there was anything worth panicking about.

Having seen far more desperate scenes than this, these are minor scenes.

Trazyn floated over and asked, "Are you sure about the current situation?"

"I thought you were in R&D."

"I came here with your spouse. She said I could contribute to the reconstruction. Does that mean I should build a tomb world?"

"That's not necessary, but we do need a large cemetery to bury the dead. In the next few days, many people will die, die from wounds, die from diseases, die from mineral sickness, Trazyn, the situation is very bad."

"I just asked you, are you sure?"

"Haha, a great flood, a terrible storm, is not enough to break my will. You have seen it, right? The fall of Cadia. Is there anything in this world more despairing than a huge fortress world being blown into powder?"

"Young man, there are many hopeless things, but you have not seen them, and you have not answered my question."

"I'm not sure, Trazyn."

"Even with all those Space Marines?"

"They are short of supplies. When they run out of bullets, they can't stop all the sea monsters. When these monsters have eaten the earth, what can the Space Marines do? Will they run to the deep sea to seek revenge?"

"You need support now, Luo Chen. Those huge machines are your way out now. Use them to defeat the enemy with one force. No matter how many marine creatures there are, they can't withstand the Titans' fire. Your humankind's divine machines, all prototypes, will only be more powerful than anything you've ever seen."

Luo Chen answered the phone, and Alina said anxiously: "Achen! How are you guys doing? Tallulah has brought people over there, you..."

"Alina, I'm fine. Talulah and W are doing... endless work right now. I have to go down and help them later."

"Achen, Skadi... is gone, and the Space Marines haven't seen her either. There is no trace of her..."

"......." After a long silence, Luo Chen said: "I understand, Alina, you take a good rest and take care of the company's affairs. I will take care of things here."

"Achen..."

"Bye."

Luo Chen put away the phone: "Taraxin, do you still have energy?"

"you want?"

"Open the Titan hangar. By the way, I need to shut down the Lateran obelisk."

Taraxin floated in front of Luo Chen, the camera flashing.

"Turning off the obelisk? Are you crazy? The being in the High Heavens has never stopped watching. It's you! It will lock onto this place in an instant."

"I need to welcome the Emperor back. I need my psychic power. I have lost my patience. No matter what greed or influence is involved, winning this war for humanity is the real thing."

".......Maybe you are really crazy, Luo Chen, but...come with me to the library."

Chapter 214 Engine Operation

Three days after the disaster, reports of fish-scare sightings were increasing.

In Rembil, the soldiers observed that two different groups of sea creatures were acting together, which had never happened before. Faintly, rumors began to spread among the soldiers that the sea creature god had returned to the ocean. In the current situation, this rumor seemed very credible.
