446. We have a problem
That was an advantage the Tau never had and could never have. Their wanton exploitation, for all its efficiency and wastelessness, had already built a huge vendetta between them and those of their neighbors who loved nature, like the Tuskans and the Elves. But if they did this right, the Sorrelians wouldn’t have that problem. Given their friendship with Wilds, and the way they treated nature, Remian’s people at least should have no such issues with those same neighbors. The Tuskans, certainly, seemed willing to let their kids play together. To Remian, this said a lot. As long as the children played nice, he felt reasonably sure that a great deal of trade opportunities would be on the table. As for the Elves? Elenath Edhellen might even offer them sanctuary. For a while, at least. In any case, given their current relations with the Woofers, Reiman intended to bring his people to the Galactic South regions of Tau space, neighboring the Woofers. Since th

447. Mass Evac
Lt. General Chuan had seen all sorts of hypothetical situations including massive emergencies that threaten the entire Empire, but never in all his textbooks and case studies had he ever seen something as severe as the scenario Bol’khan brought him to. After all, every case study usually had a solution and a theoretical way to win, or at least gain the upper hand. But looking at the map now, Chuan saw no hope of anything even resembling victory. The best he could hope for was to save what they could and abandon all else. “Everyone, the Lt. General is in charge now. Just... just listen to him.” Bol’khan made his escape and disappeared from the scene. Chuan didn’t say anything for a moment, but then he said, “What is our current political situation like? Do we have any allies? Anyone we can call for help?” “Not really. We’ve already attacked and conquered most of our neighbors. Most of the Midlands is hostile to us. The Sea People are cordial, but they

448. Mass Deployment
Around that time, five modified Sky Galleons were taking on advanced forces from the Order of Light, the Order of Steel, the Order of Sand and the Adventurers Guild. Darian, Tim, George, Mindy and Alani were in command of one ship each, leaving the Tournament entirely for the sake of the greater cause.They weren’t the only ones to abandon the Tournament. Darian’s entire Adventurer Squad had joined him and the Order of Light on his ship. Mindy had brought Raven and Raven’s siblings were with her, Alani had the entire Class 2 and Tang Yin, both their ships loaded with squads of Adventurers.Ermine, Eriane, and Remian himself were preparing the main forces for the long journey. The bulk of the Three Orders and the Adventurers, a contingent from the Zhao and Xue clans, and eight helicopter gunships were being prepared on board a mixed mash of Deutero, Draconian and Mindy’s airships.“Ermine, what have you got for us?” Remian aske

449. Harder Job
As the main forces completed hasty preparations and the troops were boarding, Remian contacted Zor’khan-dras one last time. [You know, you really should make a move. Your people half-expect the Great Dragons to swoop down from the skies to save them.] [That’s not going to happen. If we go back now, we waste all our efforts adapting to starlight. Neither I nor any of my brothers would give up all the effort we’ve put in all this time just to save a bunch of humans. They were nice to play with while we were there, but it’s over now, we’re going home, and the ones I want to bring home are almost all in the Wildlands with you. As for the rest, they’re all doomed when the Mitigok arrive anyway. My son might complain, but there are other worlds, other toys he can play with in the future.] Just like that, the Great Dragon that the citizens of the Empire worshipped as a god casually abandoned his playthings to destruction. [But if we don’t defeat the Infestat

450. An Offer They Can’t Refuse
Meanwhile Alani called down, [Tim, are you sure you’re going to be okay?] [No problem. Just leave it to me!] Tim flashed them a thumbs-up, and then stomped his foot. Instantly, the ground responded with a rising wall of dirt twenty feet high before him, stretching out to either side of Tim for five hundred meters. Tim already had a thing for earth magic early on, and on top of that, there was a reason why people swore on Khar’al-dras and the ‘sand’. While Darian and Kor’ag had a thing for wood, Mindy and Chirpy had a thing for fire, and Alani and Reef had a thing for water, Tim and Khar’al had a thing for dirt. “He’s going to be fine.” George concluded, and left him to it, rushing onwards to meet Commander Chuan. *** Meanwhile, down on the ground with his troops in the airship slowly descending to follow him, Tim called out to the refugees. “Don’t be afraid! I’m here now!” A sweaty man stumbling along with his family paused and turned

451. Colonels
A few hours passed during which Tim’s job got harder and harder. Holding a few hundred meters of line against pursuing zombies was easy. Holding a few kilometers was not. As for holding a few hundred kilometers...? Even Tim was having trouble coping as the day went by. He’d already received early reinforcements from Fal’Herim and deployed them on the ground, sending back shipload after shipload of his new servants and workers. His forces on the battle front already numbered in the thousands. But even so they were having a hard time keeping up as the front kept expanding along with the numbers of zombies randomly headed their way or in pursuit of fleeing refugees. They retreated every so often, trying to keep their combat arena within manageable bounds, but the zombies were just too many, and covered far too much territory, and the spread was just too quick. This was the situation that Remian found Tim in by the time the main forces arrived at the scene. By that time,

452. The Siblings Su
The sister in question, previously Lieutenant Su Jing, and recently, Captain, was in fact on board Mindy’s airship along with Ling Yun (previously Corporal, but currently, Sergeant) and the rest of the Century under her command. Incidentally, Yang Feng (previously Captain, now Major) and the rest of the Cohort under his command were with Remian in the main fleet. (For reference: Cohort = around 1000 troops under command of a Major, Century = around 100 troops under command of a Captain, Company = 30-60 troops under a Lieutenant, Squad = 8-12 troops under a Sergeant.) The fact that Yang Feng was not on board the same ship made Su Jing somewhat moody, so all her troops and subordinates preferred to steer clear of her, leaving her all by herself on the prow of the airship. Feeling the distance somewhat, she’d contacted her brother and assured him help was on the way. Sure enough, Mindy’s airship and the rest of the advance forces from the Wildlands were making a

453. What? Why?!
“Four positions, four airships... we can position ourselves like in the Wildlands. Alani to the North, Darian to the East, Mindy to the South. George stays with central command.” George raised a hand. “I object.” “What? Why?” Alani asked. “I’ll take the south.” George said. “What?! Why?” Mindy asked. “Because I can do most good there.” “What? Why?!” Darian asked. “It’s because we’re the Order of Steel.” George said softly. “In terms of fast advance and large scale logistics, do you think any of the other Orders can compare?” “What are you even talking about?” Mindy asked. “I’m talking about being able to set up big orderly camps very, very fast.” George explained. “That’s easy enough. Just put up whatever as fast as you can.” Mindy mentioned. Darian chuckled. “Mindy, you’re making his point for him. Okay, George, I’ll openly agree that Adventurer camps aren’t as neat or orderly as those from the

454. Fifteen Lines
To be fair, a Banshee was an entire Tier stronger than an armored skeleton. While a skeleton was comparable to a Tier 6 Lord Challenger, a fully fledged Banshee was comparable to a Tier 7 King Challenger. This particular sample was highly developed, easily able to succeed as a Lord, and would eventually reach the level of a Death Knight, but based on the way Su Jing beat the stuffing out of it, this one wasn’t nearly there yet. As for Su Jing… based on what he could see and sense, Su Jin estimated his sister to be somewhere in the upper Innate Qi stages, very close to breaking through to Earth Qi. In Wildlands terms, upper Tier 6, almost but not quite Tier 7. An equivalent of a Lord of the Wilds, but not yet ready to be a King Challenger. In other words, not as strong as the Banshee. “Leave this one to me.” Su Jin sighed. Among everyone here, only he had the kind of power to handle this. Having had a little bit of rest and a good chuckle, Su Jin got to his fe

455. Sixteen Days
The skies rained fire on either side of the exodus streaming into the temporary shelter city. George and Darian had their airships stationed to the left and right dropping Tau cluster bombs to cover the evacuees’ route to the city. These explosives tore apart every zombie or blood hound in their vicinity and carpeted the entire horizon in fire, incinerating all the bits and pieces left by the Undead. Within the city, two hundred members of the Order of Steel were scrambling around setting up emergency shelters and repairing whatever structures seemed most easily made habitable. Six thousand volunteers ran around with them helping them wherever they could or otherwise getting in the way in the attempt. They might not have the strength to fight Undead, but they were willing to pitch in for safer jobs like construction and repair. Already a million evacuees had made it into the city limits safely behind military lines, and almost fifteen million more were on the way. No
