From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

The rumbling walking devices crushed the gravel on the ground, and the huge army crossed the border and headed towards the East Country.

As a great country, Yan State naturally has high-speed land ships, and [Loutai] is one of the best.

These [towers] are different from the ordinary high-speed land ships equipped with artillery by the Terran countries. They are covered with a large number of Originium technology amplification pipelines, which can be called mobile warlock positions. The combat method is to use the [towers] themselves to provide defense. The heavenly masters stationed on the warships cooperate with the position amplification to bring thunder powerful enough to flatten mountains to the world.

Under the planning of Taiwei and Wang, five [Towers] will be equipped with the vanguard army to bombard the territory of the East Country head-on. At the same time, the secret guards responsible for information warfare will also infiltrate the East Country, striving for internal and external cooperation to take over the entire East Country in one wave.

In front of the Wutai Tower was the Big Radish land-based ship that Si Ye used as the vanguard and backup. Although many soldiers had some complaints about an unarmed land-based ship taking the lead, it was Si Ye's True Dragon flagship after all, so some privileges were deserved.

The East Country was divided into the North and South governments. Dayan used Wenyue's identity to create a declaration of war document and sent it only to the North Court government. By the time the North Court government shared the information with the South Court because it was confused, Dayan's main force had already arrived near the South Court mobile city Yuji.

It seemed that the victory over Ursus had given the East Kingdom courage, or perhaps the superstitious priests in the South Court of the East Kingdom had worshipped the gods so much that they did not question the reason for the imminent arrival of the Great Yan army, but instead shouted.

“…the other party had no intention of communicating normally and even insulted us.”

The general holding the communicator had a subtle expression. The ridiculous documents in the court made him think that this operation would not go smoothly, but he did not expect that before the documents could be used, the South Court of the East Country would come up with other excuses.

"Your Majesty's decision is truly wise. There is no benefit in keeping such a chaotic neighbor."

In the distant Yuji City, the alarm has sounded because of the approaching army. The access gates are closing and the city defense cannons are gradually rising, as if they are ready to take action first.

"That person... said that His Majesty's land-based ship, the Radish, would fire the first shot, and asked us to prepare to cooperate."

The messenger brought instructions from the second brother Wang to the general.

"Ah, doesn't your Majesty's land-speeder have any weapons?"

When the Big Radish and the Tower met together, many soldiers and generals marveled at the extraordinary speed of this land ship. It was a pity that this land ship with super speed was not equipped with large weapons, otherwise it would have the title of the best land ship in the world.

Now we suddenly know that the Big Radish will fire the first shot and will not use ship-borne defensive weapons. Isn't that a bit undignified and unceremonious?

But orders are orders, and the general could only order the ship's celestial master to prepare, and power began to be injected into the amplification pipeline.

"Wang, why are you like this again?"

Standing on the front deck of the Big Radish, Zhongyue was no longer wearing his usual martial arts robe, but a military uniform made by Ji himself, with a small sword with the word "Shuo" hanging on the tail tip, making him look like a solemn and awe-inspiring general.

Second brother Wang walked out of the bridge, and for some reason he had that dull and lifeless expression again. He had obviously become much more normal these days because of the Sui Beast incident and Jie's resurrection, so why did he become like this again?

“…I just feel like I’m a little behind the times. Maybe I should go back to when I first set foot on this land and start learning again.”

Looking at the Yuji City in the distance which was on combat alert, his expression was very subtle.

In the past, during the honeymoon period with Yan State, Wang had been responsible for the deployment of troops in the northern border of Great Yan. He considered himself proficient in military strategies. Now that he was in command of the frontal troops in the war with the Eastern State, Wang was naturally eager to take part.

Wang, who had once split into hundreds of pieces, had already figured out the parameters of Yan Country's [Tower], but he was not clear about the capabilities of Si Ye's unusual-looking land-based ship.

In order to give better command, Wang asked the synth for some information. Since Si Ye had given more authorizations when he sent the land ship, many of the land ship's equipment were unlocked. So Wang's understanding of it made him emo.

“…It’s good to study. Having new goals will keep you from getting lost.”

The disaster of the Year Beast is over, and how the agents of eternal life find the meaning of their own existence has become the most important thing. Seeing that there is nothing wrong with the emotions, Chongyue has no intention of delving into it.

"It's just this matter of war. It would be better if there were less of it."

"Nian said that Si Ye wanted to unify the entire Terra continent. Once unified, there would naturally be no more wars. Since Big Brother can't stand war, you should do more to make Si Ye's idea come true as soon as possible."

The countries of Terra continent have risen together. The most effective way to prevent conflicts and wars is naturally unification. A moment of blood can be exchanged for eternal peace. Chongyue naturally understands this.

"To stop war, one must use force, and then use force to stop war. I naturally understand this principle."

Zhongyue flexed his knuckles. Although his mission was to stop the possible giant beast agents or beast masters in the East Country, he didn't mind directly intervening in the war process if the East Country resisted too stubbornly.

"The mobile city across the way seems to be preparing to open fire. Would you mind taking command?"

"...Oh, I just came to remind you, brother, that you are standing on the gun platform of the landship."

As soon as Wang finished speaking, Zhongyue felt a tremor under his feet. He quickly retreated to Wang's side. Where he had just stood, on the front deck that originally seemed to have no gaps, a huge bulge was rapidly rising and deforming.

Along with the sound of metal machinery deforming, a huge turret composed of three thick metal structures appeared on the deck, and the crackling sound of energy accumulation continued to intensify.

"Warning, main gun charging, waste energy released. All personnel on the foredeck who are not involved, please seek shelter immediately..."

"Warning, main gun charging, waste energy released. All personnel on the foredeck who are not involved, please seek shelter immediately..."

Chapter 152: East Country: Fleeting

"Are these Yan people crazy? They want us to surrender without declaring war?"

The Eastern Kingdom did defeat an army of Ursus... and it was won at the cost of their lives. They used the whole country's strength to fight against the Ursus Sixth Army and both sides suffered heavy losses. However, due to the serious illness of the Ursus Emperor Vladimir Ivanovich, the battle ended with the Ursus withdrawing and the Eastern Kingdom winning a tragic victory.

Because of this battle, the East Country took advantage of the victory to achieve the feat of ceasefire and cooperative development between the North and the South. The rapidly developing bubble economy gave them an inexplicable confidence, making them believe that they had stood on the stage shoulder to shoulder with the Terra countries.

This is also the reason why they chose to directly retaliate against Yan State’s declaration of war instead of negotiating.

After the alarm sounded, Walper, the male guardian of the shrine, operated a drone to observe the movements of the Great Yan army, while urging the soldiers to take up their posts and activate the city defense cannons on the outer walls of the mobile city.

"Hurry up, hurry up, open fire when the coastal defense artillery is ready. We have already defeated those stupid Ursus bears, and this time the arrogant Yan people will end up like this!!!"

The main gun of the city defense artillery has a huge caliber and can often paralyze the running device of a land ship or destroy the outer armor of a land ship in one shot. Therefore, usually for mobile cities with city defense artillery, high-speed battleships will choose to use heavy artillery to bombard them from a distance, but this time, Yan Country's [Tower] directly entered the range of the city defense artillery.

The guardian believed that this was the arrogance of Yan State, just like the arrogance of the Ursus Sixth Army. Since they did not pay attention to Dong State, let Dong State teach these arrogant Yan people a lesson with practical actions!

"Fire!!!"

After receiving the order from the guardian, the city defense artillery in the front was the first to complete the loading. The huge roar was deafening. The majestic source stone energy pushed the huge source stone etched shells to fly out and hit the Big Radish that was leading the charge.

Seeing this scene, the generals of the Yan State's vanguard army were already thinking about whether to let the Heavenly Master conduct a saturation interception. After all, it would be a shameful thing if the real dragon's vehicle was damaged.

But my response is still: be patient.

The Originium-etched shells hit the Radish.

Normally, the etched shells would smash into the deck and explode. The huge impact would push the entire landship down, causing the running gear to bend and break, and the entire landship would be temporarily paralyzed.

But that didn't happen.

When the etched shell was about to hit the land ship, it first hit a hexagonal grating like a curtain. The rigidity of the shield triggered the collision fuse of the shell.

boom!

The huge explosion flames rose above the grating, but could not shake the grating shield in the slightest.

Before the defenders on the Yuji City Wall had time to react, the Big Radish's counterattack began.

Orange-yellow beams of light streaked across the sky, accurately hitting every key point on the Imperial City Wall.

There was no explosion, only a huge hole left where the beam hit.

The fission cannon, which uses high-energy jets to directly weaken and destroy the molecular bonds between atoms, has long been eliminated in the empire. Seeing that there are still some left in the inventory, Si Ye picked up one at random and installed it on the land ship.

At present, it seems that this effect of directly disintegrating and destroying the target is a bit too good, and it fails to produce the desired deterrent effect.

"Can we increase the power a bit more? We can directly destroy the largest gate of this mobile city, along with the city defense cannons on it."

Wang stood on the bridge and asked the synths

"Authorization approved... Energy allocation in progress, target locked."

"what!"

The guardian on the city wall was filled with fear. He gave up controlling the drone and rushed towards the elevator leaving the city wall, but the next disintegration cannon hit him again, and the orange-yellow light filled his eyes...

"Alas...it's garbage time."

Looking at the mobile city gate that looked like it had been wiped out by an eraser, Wang sighed in boredom.

Attacking ten times is the best tactic in military strategy, but this pure crushing made Wang regret it. He might as well have helped Jie Paopao recover his thinking in Baizao.

Just as Wang said, the city of Yuji was in chaos after being attacked by such unimaginable weapons. Except for the Yuji First City Defense Corps that participated in the Ursus War and the nobles' warrior guards, most of the city defense soldiers had fallen into panic, and a large number of city defense equipment had lost their effectiveness in both passive and active ways.

[Tower] Easily approaching the mobile city, the celestial master stationed on the ship poured thunder and fire on the few soldiers who still had the will to resist, covering the elite vanguard army to attack Huanglong.

The First City Defense Corps of the Imperial Aircraft Army did organize a defensive line, but what they had to face were the elite troops of the North who were on high alert for battle, as well as the troublesome guards who had sneaked in at some point in time.

With most of the city's defense weapons now ineffective, the First City Defense Corps' persistence earned them only a single comment from the vanguard general while he was sharpening his sword:

"The fighting spirit is good, but it's a pity that he is too weak."

Compared with the city defense corps that is only enough for warm-up, the private soldiers of the four nobles in the city appear to be more troublesome.

These nobles, who were born from samurai families, were not daimyo but more powerful than daimyo. The wealth and status brought by the political and economic complex made their private soldiers fearless and their weapons and equipment the best. Coupled with the assistance of shrine priests, they indeed slowed down the advance of the vanguard army.

...

The quiet and profound shrine enshrines the great god worshipped by the Eastern Country priest family for generations. The great priest hurriedly walked in here, and the noise he brought made the originally wispy smoke even thicker.

"What's the matter?"

A huge snow-white fox emerged from the smoke. Its nine huge tails could cover half of the sky, and a slightly irritable neutral sound came from its mouth.

"Yan Country is harassing us. We beg the Great God to help save Dong Country from disaster."

The big fox turned into smoke and rushed straight to the high priest. Its ferocious eyes stared at the other party and slowly uttered a few words.

"This is just once, and the offering will be doubled from now on."

"Of course, of course. With the Great God displaying his divine power, it's only natural that offerings would increase."

The high priest nodded in agreement quickly. After all, the offerings were originally paid by the common people. At worst, he could just take less in the future and free up his share.

"over there!"

As the beast master of Wolper, the Great God is naturally aware of the High Priest's private affairs, but it likes quietness by nature, unlike those local dogs running on the wilderness, who like to play games like "fangs" and fighting crickets, so it can stay quietly in one place for a long time and will never move.

Having been worshipped by the shrine for a hundred years, Omikami felt that a symbolic move would be enough, so he locked onto the location of the riot in the city and planned to display his divine power.

But before the Great God could display the divine power of the beast master that could swallow clouds and spit out mist to captivate the mind, a fist wrapped in a dark yellow glow slammed heavily on it. The huge fox body fell from the sky and landed heavily in the center of the battlefield, plunging both sides into silence.

"Da…Daimin?"

Some samurai also worshipped Omikami. Seeing such a scene, their faith almost collapsed and they almost committed seppuku on the battlefield.

“…The giant beast from Yan Country?”

The beast master is immortal, so the injuries caused by the sneak attack are nothing, but falling straight into the city and making a fool of himself in front of his believers is something that the Great God cannot accept.

"I am immortal, do you want to wage an eternal war with me?"

Zhongyue landed from the air with a serious expression. If it was an ordinary giant beast, Zhongyue was confident that he could defeat it after getting back Shuo's body.

But the beast master has become a bit troublesome. This kind of monster-like existence is immortal. If the other party is really determined to cause trouble, it will be really annoying.
