"So this is the strategy of the Colonel and the NMWA..." Jocelyne smiled. "If he didn't put the country and humanity at risk, I could almost praise them"
Odaria's new president sat in her study, listening to Al's words. The allosaurus had explained to them everything Snock and Rambo had discovered.
The two were not alone in the room. All the people most loyal to Jocelyne were gathered there with them. There was Jackson, the new foreign minister, who had returned promptly given the emergency situation; there was Abe, the defense minister, who obviously couldn't miss a meeting like that; there was Malcolm, the interior minister, and there was his friend Dreyfus, the new chief judge; obviously there were her parents and there were some collaborators with him.
“We did well to put so much pressure on the NMWA and to speed up the peace projects so much” Jocelyne murmured. “If we hadn't, the Colonel could have recruited many more people and fomented a
"... and that's all I discovered""I see I see. Thank you my friend. Are you sure that's all we need to know?""There is certainly nothing more in this world. This is what I know and so far I have no reason to believe that there is more satisfied"Snock and Rambo were gathered in the usual shed. The rhamphorhynchus was carefully explaining to the giganotosaurus everything he had discovered about the location of the outposts.Once all the information had been obtained, Snock's mind had already begun to act. “If the Colonel wants to divide his army in this way, then each outpost cannot contain more than a hundred soldiers. A single team of four or five dinosaurs will be more than enough to deal with it""Are you sure? I remind you that they will have many powerful weapons"“If I were in the Colonel, I would have the most powerful weapons for myself. While the weapons in the hands of the outposts will be strong, they won't be as des
"The fleet is three hundred kilometers from the target""Optimal. No signs of retaliation from the dinosaurs?" Quaritch murmured, chewing his own saliva. "It is now impossible that they have not spotted us"“It is probable, but they still do not act. Not even the marine reptiles are doing anything: our submarines confirm that there are no signs of life underwater" replied the man on the radio. "It seems they want to use our ultimatum to the last"Quaritch sighed deeply. “Keep your eyes open. Don't be fooled: they are around there somewhere”. He stared intently at the screens in front of him. “Let's move on to phase one. Let all the jets take off and bomb the coast"As soon as his command reached the fleet, a flock of planes rose from the aircraft carriers. At least 150,000 jets lifted off the ships' decks and set off for the coast.Three hundred kilometers was not a huge amount for jets that could fly at supersonic speeds. M
As soon as he received the approval from the NMWA, the Colonel immediately set to work. He knew he didn't have much time: he had to act immediately and take over the Eternal Palace as soon as possible.The Colonel was in no doubt that after the NMWA's attack, the dinosaurs would show their true nature as brutal killers and attack Beleriard. Even if the NMWA's fleet could keep them busy, even a small handful of those monsters could have exterminated tens of thousands of people. The nation had to rely on NMWA protection right away, before the dinosaurs made any move.The Colonel gathered his soldiers in his base and made his speech: “Brothers! Today is the big day! We will finally get rid of this plague. Today we will conquer the Eternal Palace and bring the nation back on track. There will be no more room for dinosaur sympathizers; the country will once again take sides with the species to which we belong, humanity! Because humans are the only ones who have the ri
The Colonel looked at the man who had appeared in front of him. "What a surprise... Abraham, the new minister of defense" he laughed. “Or rather, a security guard playing minister of defense. But I imagine that being close to the president has the advantages of her "Abe didn't give in to the provocation. "It's over, McCullough!" he said. “You have already lost. We know all about your plan and all the intrigues the NMWA has set up. Let's avoid further bloodshed. Give up now and cooperate, and maybe the law will be kind to you""Tsk!" The Colonel wasn't intimidated. "Do you think I'm falling for it? I have studied my strategy for a long time. You may know something, but it is impossible for you to know everything. And even if that were the case, you can't hope to stop us. You are too few and we have the best weapons"“Even if you manage to reach the Eternal Palace, how do you think you can rule the nation? With the support of the NMWA?" Abe aske
Hoskin Bay was quiet that day; there was no wind and the sea was calm. The sky was clear and nothing suggested a worsening of the atmospheric conditions. Logically, nothing could have disturbed the tranquility that the ocean enjoyed that day.Yet suddenly the sea began to boil. It happened for a few seconds, then a giant metal box emerged. Small waves formed around it and the fish fled as it passed. The submarine was more than 170 meters long, like the Typhoon-class ones on Earth.Other submarines emerged one after the other. Very quickly at least fifty submarines were making their way to the coast. Then they became a hundred. Eventually, two hundred submarines could be seen in Hoskin Bay.When they docked Colonel Wainfleet was the first to get out. Behind him came hundreds and hundreds of soldiers equipped with the best technologies. Very soon more than ten thousand soldiers were gathered on the ground."Hurry! In line for three, and in combat gear! Kill
"President, Abe has announced that he has completed his assignment" Jackson said as he entered the room. "The NMWA's army is defeated"“I was already aware of that. Al informed me”Jocelyne replied. The girl was talking to the allosaurus, who was quickly explaining what had happened. "How many losses have we suffered?""About two hundred, plus a few dinosaurs" Jackson replied."We dinosaurs have suffered eight casualties" Al completed.Jackson lowered his head. "Yes. Excuse me, Mr. Ambassador""I understand" Jocelyne murmured. “I will immediately announce the results of the battle live nationally. In the next few days we will have a monument built at the site of the battle to commemorate those who fell on this day""Sounds like a sensible choice" Jackson said. "Abe asks to know what he can do with the seized weapons"“Tell him he can keep them all. As defense minister he will know how to make them pay better tha
As soon as Sobek gave him the green light, Buck had teleported with the entire assault legion to the center of the fleet. The ships were literally overrun in a second by hundreds of heavily armed dinosaurs.Since it was the first infantry, Sobek had provided each member of the assault legion with armor and a weapon; that had drained his reserve of bonus money, but he didn't care as he was sure to receive more once the war was won.When the dinosaurs teleported to the deck, the large animals forcefully launched themselves at the humans using their bodies as weapons, while on their backs the smaller dinosaurs used machine guns, rifles, bazookas and other heavy weapons to take out the humans from a distance.The humans were completely unprepared for that lightning attack; before they actually realized what was happening, thousands of soldiers were already dead. And even when they realized the event, their recovery was slow: the chaos in which the fleet was pouring
The explosions and roars were so loud they could be heard even from the center of the forest.To prevent the weaker ones from getting involved, Sobek had ordered Old Li to bring elders, puppies and all those not fit to fight in the thick of the forest, in the fortification erected by Eema. Together the triceratops and the ankylosaurus had brought everyone to safety and were now waiting for the noises to stop."This mess gives me chills" Eema murmured as she listened to the distant explosions."You don't have to worry" Old Li replied."How can you be so calm?"“I am not at all. But I know that by worrying I would get nothing but make things worse. So it's better to get distracted and wait for news"Eema sighed, then agreed that the ankylosaurus was right. "Yes, okay" she said, nibbling again on a blade of grass.Shortly thereafter, however, the explosions ceased. Eema and Old Li raised their heads in the direction of battle, foll
