This Terra is a little weird.

"We are nearby. If you need us to pick you up, press the emergency button on the communicator in advance. It will send a special message and will not be blocked. According to the speed of the shuttle, we should be able to arrive when you rise to the surface of the sea."

"Ok."

The co-pilot nodded, then closed the hatch, and the Thunder Eagle took off and flew towards the land.

The doctor then closed the shuttle's hatch, and the shuttle quickly descended into the ocean, with the deep-sea hunters following around the shuttle.

To be honest, the Doctor also felt a little regretful about his decision. To look for Skadi in such a vast ocean was literally like fishing in a haystack.

But now that he's here, the doctor won't go back without any results.

But sometimes, the target will find themselves, and the Doctor encountered this situation. He met Skadi or Ishamara on the seabed of the shallow sea.

She was surrounded by terrifying fish, as if she were a real god, surrounded by these creatures.

But the doctor believes that God is illusory. If gods really exist in the world, they will not come into contact with living things.

Gods, they are great because we cannot see them, we cannot touch them, that is why they are gods.

And Ishamara, the so-called God of the Sea, is actually just a living organism with flesh and blood. She can only be a powerful individual that the Sea Heirs are pursuing together.

The Doctor believes in Luo Chen. His weapon will destroy Hai Si and Ishamara, but not Skadi. The Doctor wants to save her, just like he helped other operators.

After putting on diving equipment, the Doctor and others came to Ishamara. Goretia stopped the Doctor and insisted that she keep a distance from the individual in front of her.

"Are you Skadi or Ishamara?"

The person on the other side smiled slightly: "Doctor, long time no see."

"Can you answer my question?"

"I am Skadi and Ishamara. You are here to see me, right? Thank you. Do you remember the agreement? Doctor, you can go back now. I will not leave the group."

"why?"

"Why? I don't know. If everything in the world has to have a reason, it would be too absurd. I am Skadi and Ishamara. I want to return to the herd, that's all. Now, Doctor, you should leave quickly. My relatives want to devour your flesh and blood."

"Skadi..."

"Goodbye, Doctor. I want to fight for the chance of survival for the swarm. Either humans die, or the swarm dies."

"...You won't stand a chance, Skadi. Come with me and don't pursue that illusory opportunity."

"Haha, Doctor, are you qualified to criticize me? You knew clearly that it was impossible for me to go back, but you still came here. What's the difference between you and me?"

The terrifying fish gradually surrounded the Rhodes Island team.

Goretia protected the Doctor behind her: "Doctor, let's go, it's over."

"..."

Goretia grabbed the safety rope on the doctor and pulled her back to the shuttle. The people from Rhodes Island also quickly boarded the shuttle, and the deep-sea hunters pushed the shuttle towards the sea surface.

The operator took the communicator from the doctor, pressed the emergency button, and notified the Thunderhawk gunship.

As soon as the shuttle emerged from the sea, the Thunder Eagle arrived above. The deep-sea hunters fastened the cable buckle to the shuttle, and the Thunder Eagle gunboat immediately took off and left the ocean.

The terrifying fish beside Ishamara worshipped her, and she raised her staff: "Let's... go ashore."

The doctor sat in the shuttle for a long time without saying a word. Only when she arrived at Rhodes Island did she pick up the phone and call Luo Chen. The other party answered the phone. Listening to the loud noise coming from the phone, it could be judged that there was indeed something huge moving on Luo Chen's side.

"......"

"Hiss... No one's talking on the phone, eh? This number, it's the Doctor, right? What's wrong?"

"I...failed to bring Skadi back."

"Well, I see."

"Are you...going to kill her?"

"I've already told you, I don't want to get involved in Skadi's affairs. She can do whatever she wants now. In my eyes, she is a heretic who has betrayed humanity. The Space Marines still have to fight against the evil in the north. They don't have time to argue with Ishamara, and I don't want to send them there either."

"Your war machine will kill her, right?"

"You already know the answer to this question, so I won't say any more. That's it. I need to train my employees."

Luo Chen hung up the phone. The doctor leaned on the railing, the breeze blowing her hair. Her expression was full of loneliness but then became firm.

Kal'tsit came over with the document and stuffed it into the doctor's arms: "This document needs to be processed urgently."

"Kal'tsit..."

"Even if you fail to bring Skadi back and your bad mood will affect your work, this file is really important..."

"Kal'tsit, can Rhodes Island provide any help to the Earth and the Astra Militarum?"

"You want to officially join the war?"

"Kazdel, the Sarkaz arrived at the front yesterday. Since my efforts have been fruitless, I will not ask for more. For the sake of the earth, let's join the war."

"...I hope you have considered it carefully, Doctor. We can only provide our elite squad to the Astra Militarum, and there is a high probability that they will not be of much use. The battlefield in Iberia is too large. Perhaps our medical operators will be of the greatest use."

"No, I can be a staff officer for the Astra Militarum. Moreover, our research on Hai Si is more in-depth than that of Rhine Life and Cadia. We can help them."

"Well, Doctor... perhaps, we can try to cooperate with Cardia to hunt down the remaining members of the Black Bloods. Their leader has not been caught yet."

"I thought they were destroyed in the previous Black Sun Operation."

"Obviously, even if Luo Chen led half of the company, he would not be able to wipe them out. According to the confession records of the Black Blood captured in Sargon before, their real purpose and the reason for their birth are very strange."

"What about the black blood?"

"Executed by the Sun Guard."

"Execution? This is a word used in ancient times, and they are like this..."

"No matter what Cardia does to deal with Black Blood, it is not illegal. Luo Chen just talked to me on the phone. He hopes that our two companies will cooperate again on this matter."

"That's it, Kelsey."

Chapter 217: Both Ends

"Cart fifty-six, car fifty-seven, car fifty-eight, car fifty-nine..." The quartermaster counted the ammunition supplies that were delivered. There were ammunition for automatic rifles and lumberjacks, as well as energy magazines and many artillery shells. They were driven into the mobile warships one after another, and many of them went to other mobile warships or mobile cities.

The Patriot felt confident as he watched the convoy and armored forces in the distance slowly approaching the mobile city.

Ka Xiao took a large writing board and calculated the data: "Okay, this time Luo Chen has replenished our blood. With so many weapons and equipment, we can try to retake the north."

"Kashaw, do you remember how we fought before?"

"Before? Oh, you mean originally? I have forgotten. Or maybe because of the change in equipment, we no longer need that kind of combat method."

"Ah."

"Why? Do you miss the past?"

“Sometimes, but sometimes not.”

"Forget it. The patrol team has been fighting with the terrifying fish recently. Coupled with the strange phenomenon that appeared in the ocean before, I think the next attack of Haisi is coming soon. Maybe we really need to retake the north immediately and have more buffer zones. The Iberians will not retreat again, and the governments of Lateran and Sargon will not allow it. What's more, we now have more than a dozen legions. There is no reason to retreat."

"Let the scouts continue to explore the situation, and then we will attack the area near Mount Bearnis and capture it."

Kasha scratched his head and said, "You are interested in the terrain there? You want to use it as a sharp knife hanging over the enemy's head when they attack."

"Well, even these ** should know not to put a whole group of highly mobile troops on the offensive path. They are not weak in intelligence."

"That's easy. Let the First Corps attack and the Seventeenth Corps defend. These seafood will definitely be disgusted to death."

"Domidian's troops?"

"Yes, that old man. If we give him enough ammunition, he can bring us impossible miracles."

"Okay, let the First Corps get ready, and the Seventeenth Corps get ready to take over. But first, let's rely on the actual intelligence brought by the scouts and aerial photography."

"clear."

In northeastern Iberia, on the great plain outside the Birnis Mountains, an armored vehicle was speeding along, and a reconnaissance squad belonging to the First Corps was carrying out activities. Since the enemy was not human, their activities could be very bold, and their main purpose was to scout the number of enemy forces.

"Sergeant, we have passed the western part of the Bilnis Mountains. Should we continue?" asked the driver.

"Keep going. We still have enough fuel. We need to gather as much intelligence as possible and bring it back."

"Something's happening." The co-pilot saw a blue shadow crawling on the plain.

The machine gunner saw it more clearly than him. It was a large group of terrifying fish heading towards the river.

"Go around the side and kill them."

The order was given, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the armored vehicle quickly drove towards the terrifying fish. The roar of the machine startled these creatures, and they sped up and rushed towards the river. A large group of them rushed towards the armored vehicle.

The driver was very skilled. He turned a corner to avoid the pounce of the fish and caught up with the fleeing school of fish, giving the machine gunner and co-pilot space to shoot.

The heavy logging rifles and automatic rifles fired at the leading fish, killing it. Then the machine gunner operated the logging rifle to continue shooting at the fleeing fish.

"Sputterer!"

The team warlock immediately used the Originium technique to cover the vehicle body, and the splasher's attack hit the shield formed by the Originium technique without directly damaging the vehicle body.

The squad leader shot at these splashers. The laser gun was very accurate. After a few shots, half of the splashers were vaporized by the high temperature and collapsed on the ground with their tentacles twitching continuously.

The gunfire soon stopped, as all the terrifying fish had been killed. The scouts did not rush towards the river in the direction the terrifying fish had escaped. They knew very well that there must be nests built by these creatures there. It was estimated that the rivers in northern Iberia had been occupied by these terrifying fish for some time.

So the scouts chose to return to the corps headquarters immediately to report, as they already had enough data.

"Report, Reconnaissance Company 2, Squad 4, report to the Corps Commander, we have completed the mission you assigned us."

"What is the actual number of enemy troops?"

"There's a lot more to it than what the aerial photos show." The reconnaissance squad leader opened his notebook, which contained the sketches he had drawn.

"There are some well-developed caves in the Bilnis Mountains, which are occupied by a large number of leopard fish. In addition, the rivers flowing on the plains outside the mountains should be much worse than what the aerial photos show. There are probably more than 40,000 sea urchins in the Bilnis Mountains and the surrounding sea urchins, and no giant beast units have been seen yet."

"Got it, you guys go back and rest."

The regiment commander held the table, and his adjutant placed the coffee in front of him: "Drink some."

"They were so fast that within a few days of us withdrawing from Iberia, they came ashore on the southern beaches. Within a few days, there were more than 40,000 of them in the northeast."

"We can only mobilize 5,000 frontline troops now, and many soldiers still need to be adjusted. However, we can dispatch four companies of armored forces. If we want to fight, it's best to fight now. Once we have more soldiers available, it will probably be more difficult to fight them."

"This afternoon, have the soldiers get ready. We will march at night and launch the attack in the morning. The Valkyries and Storm Crows will provide support at any time."

"Okay, I'll go notify you now."

The hibernation period of sea bass is very short. They only need a few hours a day to maintain good mobility, but early morning is the time when they often fall asleep.

There are almost no records of tilapia attacking in the early morning, and research data also shows that early morning is also one of the dormant times for tilapia.

At least this time, when the First Regiment of the First Corps launched the attack, most of the sea breams were still in a dormant state. They were defenseless and did not notice the neurotoxins released into the river by humans. As a result, all the terrifying fish living in the river were killed by the deadly toxins.

The purpose of the first regiment was to deprive the terrifying fish crowded in the damp caves in the Bilnis Mountains of any troop support.

The first group did not use conventional means to attack. They released chemical agents into the cave, killing a large number of ichthyosaurs and forcing the remaining individuals to run out of the cave. They then burned them to death with flamethrowers.

In this way, the entire mountain range can be occupied without wasting a single soldier. Chemical weapons are cheaper than conventional weapons, and biological weapons are cheaper than chemical weapons. However, for highly adaptable creatures like Haisi, biological weapons may be assimilated and utilized in reverse.

General chemical weapons may also produce resistance, so the nerve agents invented by Cardea and some chemical agents are 100% lethal.

There are no archive records of these weapons. They are made as they are used and have no production numbers. However, there are strict control measures. Once the war is over, Cadia will not acknowledge the existence of such weapons.

The clearing of enemy forces in rivers and caves was smooth, but it would be stupid to spread poison to enemies on the plains. The fish already knew that humans had poison, and the reason they still stayed in water or moist places was simply that most individuals could not completely get rid of water.

The battle on the plain was quite chaotic, with humans, sea creatures and local creatures caught in a three-way melee. Originally, the terror fish was fighting with various local creatures such as the rock crabs and sand beasts, and now human tanks and soldiers had also entered the plains.

The local creatures are naturally violent and don't care whether you are seafood or a piece of iron. As long as you enter their territory, they will kill you. So a ridiculous three-way melee broke out on the plain.

The outcome of the battle was obvious. The humans with tanks were naturally the winners of this melee. Even though the rock crabs were huge, they could not push the Lemanus tanks, which were inconsistent with their weight and appearance. Their armor was like paper in front of the tank's main gun.

If it were in the sea, the winner would naturally be the Terrorfish, but on the plains, the Tank is the top predator, and a random swing of its huge body would easily crush a whole school of sea urchins.

The northeastern part of Iberia was quickly captured by the First Corps, and then the Seventeenth Corps quickly took over the Birnis Mountains and quickly built a temporary defense line. Two mobile warships were then deployed here, and four companies of armored forces were under the command of the Seventeenth Corps.

The Patriots not only attacked the northeast, but also the northwest, and ordered the Eighth Corps, which was good at defense, to set up defense lines and mobile warships, making the Astra Militarum's deployment at this time like a pocket, waiting for the Haisi army to get in.

At the same time, in order to prevent Hai Si from bypassing Rembilt, the Patriots reinforced this place with four corps, all stationed in the narrow passage in the south. Although the narrow terrain is flat, the numerical advantage of the terrifying fish cannot be exerted. They can only rush through the defense line built by the Star Army in waves.

The patriots wanted to wait until the enemy's offensive weakened, then march south to retake Iberia and confine the Haisi to the beach. Now it all depended on when the Haisi would launch their attack.

As the situation in the southern part of the land gradually escalates, the situation in the northern part is not optimistic either.

The evil demons finally attacked the ice defense line. Compared with Hai Si, the main forces of the evil demons were much smaller in number, but they were very powerful. On the icy and snowy tundra, they were extremely conspicuous in their pitch-black glory.
