Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The tone of the commander was full of anxiety. It was apparent that this commander, who used to be an academic advisor, could not maintain a calm attitude when he was in a ruthless actual battle.

Upon hearing his order, the adjutant froze and asked hesitantly, “All of the soldiers who are not participating in the war? Including the defense forces on the wall sir?”

“Of course, Dubin!” After letting out a roar, Bowie’s mood had somewhat become more stable. After pondering for a while, he answered, “No! Leave half of the defense forces on the wall. Go, pass my command now!”

“Yes, Sir!” The adjutant stood up and saluted before leaving the command room. A few minutes later, the army forces on the wall of the gathering place had been deployed to the streets as reinforcement.

Just when the US army did not spare the extra force to wipe out the natives who launched the terrorist attacks, when the battleships anchored near the port had most of their attention on the battle on the land, hundreds of ocean spiritual monsters hidden under the seabed casted their sorcery together, causing the tides to surge and launch an attack on the steel ship on the sea.

Under the effect of the spell, raging waves were set off at the harbor as gushes of giant cyclones shook the five warships intensely. If it was not for the fact that they had already been anchored, they would have most likely had to start the engine to stabilize the hull.

Even so, the captains, who were in peace for a long time, did not realize that they had been attacked by the enemy until a large raging wave swept up from the bottom of the sea and two giant octopus-like sea monsters that were 30 to 40 meters long suddenly leapt out of the waves and landed on the deck of two warships. Only then did they realize that they were in trouble.

“Communication Officer, contact the patrolling submarine and ask where those idiots are. Didn’t their sonar notice that such huge sea monsters have already swam up to the port?” From the steering cabin, the captain of the destroyer ‘Apollo’ could see a soft-bodied sea monster waving its ten tentacles around, grabbing the screaming sailors and put it into its mouth on the deck of his compatriot’s ship, prompting him to shout loudly.

“S-Sir, the Parrot answered. Those sea monsters suddenly grew bigger at the waters near the gathering place, so they’re working with Egret now to use the torpedoes to wipe out the compatriots of those monsters in the seabed!” the young communications officer wearing mic on his head reported loudly after a series of nervous communication.

“Those sea monsters suddenly grew bigger? Aha! If those merchants breeding seafood know that Shrimp World No. 2 actually has such...” The captain, who looked as though he was only in his thirties, who was still young and vigorous, cursed sarcastically as he unbuttoned the first button on his military uniform collar. Before he could finish his words, his body went stiff right away. “Launch the torpedo? The Parrot has launched a torpedo? What an idiot! Don’t they know that if they launch torpedoes at such a close distance from the port, in order to avoid excessive heat to mislead the torpedo, we wouldn’t be able to start the engine and leave the port urgently!”

“Sir, but our two engines have already started according to your orders.” A realization suddenly dawned on the first mate, prompting him to blurt out.

“Quick! Shut it off! F*ck! It’s one hell of a night tonight!” The captain’s face was completely red as he screamed hoarsely. Then, he saw that the battleship parked next to it berth was already drowning amidst the raging fire ignited by the sea monster. From time to time, deafening explosions would resonate from it.

“Leave the port! Let’s leave the port!” Under the illumination of the fire, the captain shouted loudly with a distorted face.

“But we’ve just shut our engine, Sir!”

“Restart it! The Big Bear is going to blow up into pieces soon. We’ll only go to hell with it if we continue to stay by its side...”The captain said as he watched more and more flames blaring on the deck of his compatriot ship. All of a sudden, the only intact missile launcher left on the Teng Shan compatriot ship fired a Tomahawk missile.

After the missile was launched, the dazzling flame drew a beautiful arc in the air, directly hitting the sea monster that was frenziedly waving its tentacles on the deck of the ‘Big Bear’, transforming it into a huge fireball together with the entire battleship. Not only that, it was also accompanied by the Apollo by its side who could not leave the port in time.

Just like this, under this raid that seemed more like a sneak attack, the US fleet squadron stationed on Shrimp B1 Island began to explode and sink one by one before it could exert its due combat power.

After the destruction of all of the outlander’s steel vessels, only then did the surviving sea monsters creep out of the sea surface and charge towards the thick city wall of the human gathering place while placing themselves under the attack of the helicopter gunships and chariots.

The first spiritual monster that went close to the city wall swam in the air as though it swam in the sea, it had a shape resembling a white shark and was more than five meters long.

It was so powerful that when the bullets fired by the helicopter’s heavy machine guns reached its body, the air began to fluctuate in ripples. Just like this, the bullets that were as thick as three fingers put together were blocked and fell to the ground one by one.

When it slammed its body onto the city wall violently, the city wall that was being slammed also began to fluctuate in ripples. Soon, tiny cracks began to form.

Faced with the attack of sea spiritual monsters from the inside, the tracking missile launched by the defense guards of the city wall, and the fire attack of the gunships and chariots in the gathering place, had caused an opposite effect several times in the face of the sea spiritual monster’s strange sorcery. Due to the reason that the distance was almost zero, not only did the missiles and artillery shells not harm the enemy, it collided onto the city wall instead.

At this time, in the command room of the US military underground base, Bowie stared with his mouth agape at the situation that was gradually spiraling out of control in just a span of 20 to 30 minutes. Finally, he realized that his future was destined to end up in military court, just the same with the previous commander. He was clear that at this rate, the situation would only continue to worsen.

“D-Dubin, we’re facing a long-planned terrorist attack. All of the natives on Shrimp B1 Island are conspirators. D-Dispatch all unmanned reconnaissance planes in the base to report to the Ministry of National Defense. We need reinforcements, a large number of reinforcements! Tell them that there are too many redundant sacrifices because we had to protect the new immigrants and tourists in the gathering place. We need backup...”

The adjutant, whose heart was anxiously burning like charcoal but had no choice but to stay solemn and patient as he listened to Bowie’s slightly incoherent words, reminded with a tone of inquiry, “Sir, do you want me to mention the number of civilian casualties in the report? ”

“Yes! We must mention the number of civilian casualties so that the damn bureaucrats of the Ministry of Defense will pay more attention to this!” Bowie thought for a moment. “Let’s just say that it’s impossible for us to calculate the detailed figures now but it’s estimated that 2500 civilians have been killed and more than 7000 have been injured.”

“Yes, General!” Dubin hastily turned and scurried away. Bowie turned his head again to look at the projection on the wall and just in time to see a strange monster, that had a head resembling a blue reef, smash its head onto the gathering place’s city wall and create a large hole that was the size of half a human.

With the emergence of such a crack, a large area of the city wall soon crumbled, allowing the forest spiritual monsters and the indigenous army that had long been lurking in the jungle to enter the stone tribe of the outlanders unimpeded.

From afar, Tulumi, who had one hand being broken by the US soldiers using rifles, saw the tribal guardian spiritual monsters and the Hellfire warriors gushing in through the gap ceaselessly. Grasping and wielding the neck of an outlander female, whose one arm was lying severed on the ground as she kneeled on the ground pleading continuously, he licked the thick fresh blood spurting towards his face and bared his teeth as he roared, “Victory! Victory! Victory!”

With his roar, the aborigines in this life-and-death battle in the gathering place seemed to understand that victory was at their fingertips, prompting them to roar wildly one by one.

However, at this moment, countless black giant spiders stretched out their long legs and galloped to appear in the gathering place.

Then, a shadow as huge as a mountain showed half of its face outside the city wall and smiled strangely as it clicked its tongue, sweeping a cold glance at the gathering place, before interrupting the aborigines’ cheers. “Lomando, Bugadonik, Blue Reef. I can’t believe that so many of my old friends are actually all here. Looks like I’m not destined to return empty-handed this time.”

“Giant Rock, the guardian spiritual monsters and the main combat forces of the 17 tribes which are also comprised of Samru, Pelungia and Eruya are all here in the outlander’s stone tribe. If you want to trigger a full-scale war between us and the Kamando and then let the Tudenans capture the entire island, you can stay here and continue to provoke. If you don’t want to, immediately bring the believers of the King of the Sierras and scram back to Kamando!” The giant spiritual monster that had a huge head made from blue reefs, who first used his head to break the city wall, stared into the eyes of the shadowed sinister eyes and answered without fear.

“Of course I won’t do such a stupid thing as to let that changeable Raider of Tudenan take advantage of this. Blue Reef, I believe that all of you will never do that too!” Upon hearing this, the black shadow’s tone changed right away. The sarcasm in his voice was retracted and was replaced by solemness. “However, if I were to go back to the tribe just like this, His Excellency King of the Sierras will definitely drive me out of Kamando. I came here under His Excellency’s order and if I were to leave, I’d have to take half of the spoils from the outlanders’ stone tribe with me too.”

Now that the victory was approaching and the sly Kamando people suddenly appeared with their guardian spiritual monsters wanting to get their hands on half of the spoils by force, the guardian spiritual monsters of the 17 tribes from the central part of the island howled in unison, despite the fear they had towards the King of the Sierras. “Impossible!”

“The Mountain Kings told me that if all of you disagree, reduce the number of spoils to one-third and help all of you to round off the remaining battle. HIs Excellency’s order is the baseline of the Kamando tribe. If this condition is rejected again, then we can only enter a war with each other.” After being rejected, Giant Rock smiled ferociously and announced the real conditions.

Knowing the great power and the madness of the Mountain Kings, when the 17 tribe coalition led by Samru, Pelungia and Eruya heard the second condition announced by Giant Rock, in order to avoid the conquest of the outlander’s tribe from evolving into a confrontation between the two internal forces on the island, they finally chose to give in.

For this reason, the Kamando warriors and its tribal guardian spiritual monsters managed to obtain the right to one-third of the spoils in exchange for rounding off the remaining battle and sending the tribe into the quagmire of destruction.
