406. Space Dogs and Space Cats
At this point, they needed to buy food from elsewhere and they had only two viable options; the Dragon Empire, or Xiao Yan’s world. Since the war started and the Dragon Empire went on an all-out campaign to conquer the whole world, food prices there had skyrocketed and generally been comandeered for the army. Prices in Xiao Yan’s world, however, remained stable and cheap compared to cultivation resources. A few million Black should be enough to fill up all those airships with rice and beans. The difficult part would be getting the food through the Portal, which wasn’t large enough for airships. They’d have to cart it all through. Poor Mindy was going to have a shock when the bulk of the Navigators suddenly arrived through the Dragon Capital Portal. Remian and company watched as most of the functional airships left at Craggy Falls took off and headed east. Their mission was simple; get food, get back, fast. George went along with them. The guy always did have a heart

407. Sneaky Business
[Such fools.] Dark Forest twitched, his nose unable to keep still despite his years of stealth training as one of the Saeki Nin. Under his face shroud that covered all on his face except a narrow slit around his eyes, the Meorin Ninja Captain slowly stroked a sharp claw against a mark on a map that indicated his prey. [Come, Captain Three Paws. Come closer into our net, our bait has been waiting for such a long time...] Dark Forest purred. Captain Three Paws was ranked 3rd on the Sorrel Star System Most Wanted List, a list which contained the most valuable targets for assassination among the Woofers and their allies. 2nd on that list was Colonel White Whiskers, commander of the Woofers Moon Howlers Expeditionary Fleet, the very battle fleet that currently orbited Sorrel II. As for the top spot... number one on the Most Wanted List was Remian Vin, High Level Psionic. Of course, Dark Forest wasn’t stupid or greedy enough to

408. When Cats And Dogs Fight
The Meorin had somehow landed heavy infantry units on Sorrel II. There were at least two hundred space cats running around in advanced power armor, shooting plasma weapons at anything that moved. When they first pounced on Kara-Goth, George and his crew were celebrating the cease-fire with the Wind Emperor while trying to confirm the death of Remian Vin. They waited until the Wind Emperor wandered away in regret over Remian’s death. Then they started firing. George was one of the first to be shot at. A certain girl in an Armored Frame noticed as the barrage began and threw herself in the way. She was blasted directly in her back, and sent flying. George didn’t see the first part, only seeing the girl coming at him rapidly. Half-stunned and his mind whizzing over completely unrelated issues, he securely caught her and momentarily wondered if he was dreaming, with her in his arms and... Spewing blood over his shoulder. Eww. Rather than say something romantic, w

409. Rescue Teams
“Here they come.” Remian released earth magic and stopped his tunneling when he sensed at least ten Meorin minds closing in from above. They too had some sort of tunneling equipment and were making a beeline for his position with a whole lot of hostile intent. At first, he tried to dissuade them with psionics. He wasn’t entirely confident in his illusion abilities, but this was the perfect time to use them. Unfortunately, the Meorin had some sort of psi-defenses. Sensing them wasn’t hard; trying to affect them, however, was like trying to push through glass. Remian gave up on trickery. Gathering his psionic powers into a powerful blow, he hammered at the nearest one in an assault with direct force. He felt the Meorin’s psi-shield crack, and there was fear in the cat’s mind, but it didn’t deter them from burrowing closer and closer. On top of that, he sensed two other Meorin teams tunneling toward him from separate directions. “Okay, that’s eno

410. Conflict in the tunnels
Remian’s warning was the first indication Tim got that somehow, something had gone wrong. “Wasn’t I sneaky enough?” Tim protested. Mikai shrugged and shook his head helplessly. And then the cats were upon them. Three ninja cats pounced from the shadows, claws glittering in the dark. Tim ducked, spinning low a knife appearing in either hand as he swiped at his attackers. Claws and blades met with brief clashes and sparks, and then Tim leapt back while lynxmice lunged into the fray. Another shadow-cat dropped down from above. Tim raised his knives only to have them tangled with the latest attacker’s claws. Their weapons tangled as the cat itself crashed upon Tim, both of them tumbling onto the floor while more yowls, squeaks, shrieks and hisses filled the tunnels. Mikai jumped onto Tim’s attacker, clawing and biting at its neck in a flurry. Blood and fur flew as the cat hissed, trying to tug its foreclaws free from the tangle with Tim’s

411. Raining Dogs
A merry chase started in which one Darian Vin went running around the tunnels beneath Kara-Goth yelping with no less than eight metal tigers snapping at his heels. *** Meanwhile, Gary managed to slip around the combat zone and meet up with the lynxmice trying to drag Tim to safety. He ended up giving them a hand and following them through all sorts of secret passages to goodness-knows-where for safety. He thought they were leading him back to Craggy Falls. He was wrong. “Where are we?” Gary asked, looking around a large storage room dumbfoundedly. [Cheese storage #112.] Mikai explained. [I had to bribe the others with extra cheese to get them to stay with us all this way. They refused extra work without payment up front.] [How do you know they won’t just up and leave us once they have their cheese?] [Because we have total monopoly over all the cheese in the Wildlands and most of the Empire. A lynxmouse won’t be able to get chee

412. Dragons Move
Alani stood dumbstruck in the very, very empty storehouses of her people. “Everything. They took everything.” she couldn’t believe it. The last time she checked, this storehouse counted her clan’s supplies in tons. Now... she couldn’t even find a single kilogram of their goods left. “Totally emptied?” Gary asked. “Yeah, the Sand People’s too.” [Full report?] Remian requested over the distance. [Precious metals, all gone.] Jun reported. [Raw ores, completely taken away.] Jamie sent in. [Grain and fruit, nothing left.] Gary added. [They took all the fish.] Alani put in glumly. [Didn’t leave so much as an anchovy.] Remian paused. Then, [Mana storage was cleared out too. They’ve taken all our mana.] [All the Frames materials are gone. Most of the lighter industrial machinery’s been taken. Only a few of the oldest, heaviest machines are left.] [Armory’s been cleared out. They even took the ballistas.]

413. After the Dogs And Cats Fought
On Sorrel II, humans and Woofers fought against humans and Meorin while the Quarin tried to run away with stolen mana, but in the end, the true beneficiaries of the conflicts were the Dragons. The Dras Clan and to a lesser extent, the Ris Clan raked in mana, frozen food, and stockpiles of valuable metal (including salvageable Meorin wrecks) already brought into orbit and easily stuck onto the Draconian Dominion Nest Ships when they arrived. It was as if all the others were doing their work for them. As for the others... entire human countries were wiped out. The Meorin were wiped out. The Quarin were wiped out. The Woofers took some losses, while Remian had to pay them for their services. Despite that, Remian did not complain. In fact... “I was actually hoping to buy more from you.” [What else did you want?] Just A Dog asked. [Autoforges!] [The fleets can’t spare any.] [Your Robotics Coding Library!] [ABSOLUTELY NO WAY!] <

414. Developments in Xiao Yan World
George sat down in front of a pile of rubble that used to be Kara-Goth. “What do you plan to do?” Xiao Yan asked. “I still haven’t turned the Pit into the Grand Arena yet.” “You can go ahead.” George shook his head. “Right now, I just... I just want to remember the Kara-Goth that we all worked so hard to build.” Xiao Yan snorted. “It wasn’t going to last. Once the Mitigok come, it’s all going up in smoke. This just happened a bit earlier that’s all. Besides, we were planning massive renovations anyway.” “Not like this. Not without all our tools and machinery. Now...” George sighed. “The only ones here with advanced gear are the Woofers, and in extension, the wolfcats. All our human workers can just sit around twiddling their thumbs while we wait for the canines to do all the work.” “You may as well send them fishing with Alani.” Xiao Yan sniffed. “Or ask Mindy to send some basic tools over from that world. Besides, isn’t Ermine working to get

415. Sudden Downfall
“Actually, putting herbs aside, what I found even more appealing are their pills. I half-think we should kidnap an alchemist and bring him back with us to make pills.” Mindy mused. “Pills?” “Like the Green Jade Vitality Pill. Those things kept Remian alive until now. They actually have even better pills than that.” Mindy tapped her lips. “I haven’t been able to buy any, no matter how much money I offered, but if I can just get in contact with a higher-ranking alchemist, it should be possible.” “They’re here!” Ling Yun dashed in from the side. “Who?” George blinked. “The Alchemist Guild! And... they brought friends.” Ling Yun gulped. “What sort of friends?” “Very Important Friends! One of them is the son of the Alchemist Guild Grand Master!” “That does sound important.” George admitted. “What does the Grand Master do, exactly?” “It’s their chief of chiefs.” Mindy explained. “They have Masters working as branch le
