Chapter 641: End of Days – Southern Plains (4)

Verni used to be my assistant, now shes my proudest creation. She is the first seven-star wraith created by my hands in this world.

In order to raise her, I expanded an inordinate amount of effort and resources. Its about time she pays me back.

From Karlstons Diaries

Federation War Room:

General! A horde of strange beasts have been sighted in Southern Plains. The tallest amongst them is estimated to be around twenty meters

I can see for myself.

Rodenas curtly interrupted the messengers report. Even through the holographic, that messenger could already sense the simmering anger in this superior of his, famously known as the Raging Bear of the Federation..

Not too long ago, Rodenas had seen for himself the footage of a skeletal legless newt burrowing its way into the police headquarters of Southern Plains. In just a couple of minutes, that towering skyscraper was reduced to rubble.

Even the surrounding buildings were caught in the aftershock

Send out the order. I want Nalan to devote all his forces into suppressing that monster. I want the city cleaned out right away. As for Life Unbound hmph I doubt those idiots are alive at this point have Nalan send out a squad of commandos to investigate the situation there. Send the word to the commanders of the nearby cities as well. I want each of them to dispatch two brigades of soldiers to guard the exits of Southern Plains. Without my orders, I do not want even a fly to leave that city!

Primal beasts are the overlords of the planet, Primal. The planet was named Primal precisely because of these beasts.

If human beings are the evolution of intellect, then these Primal beasts are the evolution of the body, taken to the extreme.

Within the Primal beasts, there exists a strict hierarchy. Those of a higher class could easily dominate those of a lower class.

These classes from lowest to highest are as follows: Larvae-class, coming in at roughly the size of a bull. Beast-class, coming in at roughly the size of a hover car. Mammoth-class, coming in at more than four meters tall. Calamity-class, coming in at more than ten meters tall. Disaster-class, coming in at more than fifteen meters tall. Ancient-class, coming in between twenty and thirty meters, thirty being the largest Primal beast found to date.

The last categorization is the Primordial-class, a category that only exists in theory and does not have a size range attached to it yet.

Piloting a mobile armor was actually a rather simple task. The moment a pilot verified his identity, his psyche would link up with the machine. On a mental level, the limbs of the pilot were the same as the limbs of the machine. Completely different from the more ancient models where a pilot had to operate the machine via complex actions. Naturally, the agility afforded by such a change was drastic. It was like the difference between moving a puppet and just moving your own limbs.

Valiant soldiers of Southern Plains. Nalan addressed the troops gathered before him. Our city has reached a crisis point, life or death is about to be decided, but Im sure you already know that. I would like to say more, but time is not our side. Fifth Brigade, I want you all to stay behind. First and Third, come with me. May victory smile on our city today!

Victory!!! The troops responded with a deafening bellow.

Because the Second and Fourth Brigade had already been deployed to handle the crisis, Nalan only had the First and Third Brigade to rely on now.

In other words, Nalan now had in his command 80(?) mobile armors and 1000 mechanized exosuits.

If this was still an era of bullets and guns, such a force could have easily wiped out an entire planet. Too bad they were dealing with enemies that exceeded their wildest expectations

At this point, the city had been thoroughly ransacked by the skeletal beasts. Their numbers, including those from the Larvae-class to Disaster-class, was over three thousand!

Unfortunately, the police in charge of protecting the city did not possess powerful weapons such as mobile armors. However, that wasnt an oversight, but rather by design. These were actual weapons of war that normally required special clearance in order to bring into a city.

And now that the giant sirenidae destroyed their headquarters, the police forces were also lacking command. Like a headless snake, they stumbled about in their isolated battles before finally being torn apart by the skeletal Primal beasts.

By the time Nalan arrived with his troops, the police forces and the Second and Fourth Brigade were completely overrun.

Other than that giant sirenidae, there were two other Disaster-class beasts running amok in the city, along with more Mammoth-class beasts, and even Calamity-class beasts.

These reanimated beasts were stronger in death than they were in life. They did not tire. They did not fear. And they did not feel. They were born only to kill.

However, the first sight these new arrivals were treated to wasnt that of a gigantic skeleton but rather something else entirely. Something unusual.

An incorporeal-looking lady, dressed in what was undoubtedly a secretary uniform, stood atop a thirty meter tall building, arrogantly looking down on the incoming troops, all the while glowing with an unearthly greyish-white light.

Above her was an equally incorporeal-looking umbrella that sheltered her from the sunlight while a skeletal scorpid laid next to her, wagging its tail like a dog
