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
If anyone had decided to pass near the South Sea that day, they would have witnessed an unprecedented sight. The sea water had turned red, so dark that you couldn't look under it. Thousands of corpses of huge ships lay in the water; most of them were submerged, but some protruded from the ocean since the seabed was so covered with wrecks that it was impossible to descend further. Fish and other sea creatures moved frantically through that graveyard of ships, devouring the remains of all the humans who had been aboard. And out of the water some aquatic dinosaurs wandered among the remains of the ships not yet submerged, looking for any survivors.That place would in the future be remembered as the Naval Cemetery and would become a historical place. A monument would have been erected on the nearby cliff, consisting of dozens of tombstones bearing the names of all the soldiers who died that day, or at least those whose identity was known. Treasure hunters would often venture amo
Sobek's announcement was broadcast around the world within minutes. The whole of humanity was waiting to know the results of the war campaign, and as soon as the video was put online it went viral. The media did not hesitate to broadcast it on all their platforms and within half a day there was not a single human being on the planet who had not seen it.The first reaction was panic. When people saw the first few minutes of the video showing the destroyed fleet, they were terrified. Many had not even finished watching the video and had fled to the shelters expecting an attack by the dinosaurs at any moment.But the moment of panic did not last long, and was immediately followed by the most total despair. There were many families who had lost at least one family member in the war. Inside the fleet there were parents, uncles, grandparents, brothers and children, and now they were all dead and did not even have a grave. The families did not even have the opportunity to ret
Of course, Al wasn't really resting. He had simply taken leave to use [Teleportation] to bring himself in front of Sobek. The meeting place was the seashore just in front of the ship cemetery.When he arrived the others were already there.There was Buck, the commander of the assault legion. Al had heard that he had been badly wounded during the battle, but he had fully recovered.There was Carnopo, the army commander. Proud and annoyed as ever, not a single movement could be glimpsed on his face.There was Mazu, the commander of the navy. The huge marine reptile had come close to them thanks to a deep crack carved into the rock and protruded its head from the water to be able to listen.There was Old Li, Sobek's councilor and second-in-command. The ankylosaurus had not participated in the battle, but his advice had been invaluable.There was Rambo, the intelligence commander. The tiny pterosaur was barely visible among those giants and perc
