Dark plans

General Dimitri Ahen stood proudly atop the center giga fortress on the blue sun and seven suns territory border. Behind him was an airfield so large the 234,000 Bombers only took up a fifth of its area. Soon this airfield would be full, the Imperium was going to war once again. Unlike The first Raknid war the majority of the army this time was made up of Zavalla soldiers. The zavalla empire was large and took up all of the blue sun Territory north of where hathan and Koryak were. The borders of the Dark elves, orks and dwarves were relatively peaceful as trade between species flourished at border cities. At least until a week ago when an entire legion of Dark elves marched close to the border. They set up camp across the Great blue the river that ran across the entire bluesun and seven suns border. It was a very wide river, infact it made the width of most rivers back home look like creaks. The water was faster and stronger so it acted as an amazing natural barrier. The wall that separated the seven sun's and blue sun Territories didn't run along the blue trees border. Plans were put in to build such a wall but the royal court chose not to build one and instead focus on the east not the north.

If the Elves were to invade they would only need to gain passage through the blue trees Territory from the Orks. If such a thing were to occur it was very likely that the overwhelmingly strong ork Empires to the west and north would invade as well through more empty land. In such a case humanity would fall quickly, they just don't have enough troops or powerful Cultivators to withstand any Full on attacks.

Thankfully the Elves didn't make ant moves towards the empire. Instead they sent scouts further into the seven sun's territory. When the scouts returned they brought back had hordes or raknids following behind them. When they came into contact with the Elven Army it was a Slaughter. Each Elf easily dispatched dozens of Raknids in only a couple moves. After an hour of Slaughter the Raknids wised up and stopped advancing and dragged anything they could back with them.

After the battle the Elves left out of sight but General Dimitri was still alert. He was used to fighting Raknids along this border, it was very rare that an Elven army would be sighted. Ork armies were a common sight but they just traveled into the Dead hills to raid Dwarven mining settlements. However in the past 2 years the Ork armies weren't sighted at all. He figured the Raknids were responsible and wondered what trouble the region would face in the future.

Over the next 6 months forces continued to arrive in the region and over 217 million Zavalla soldiers set up camp inside the Fortresses dotting along the wall.

Another 100 million were dispatched to forts along the north and west borders. These forts didn't have any Imperium tech or weaponry like the ones stationed at the Eastern wall owned and operated by the Imperium. They operated with the might of Zavalla alone.

The north and west lands of the empire were supporters of the current Emperor, They called themselves the Loyalist Sons. The nobles in the south and east under Julian's influence supported Prince Ryan Eldest son of Venerable Alex. The brother and sister were both cultivation nerds so Julian managed to buy the throne from under Ryan. In exchange for the resources and skill books offered by Julian Prince Ryan agreed to ceede the Throne to Julian when the time to strike came. This was all under the nose of Venerable Alex who was was busy monitoring the borders.

Although the Great curse placed upon humanity sucked for the most part. The fact that men born under it became easier to bribe as they were more corruptible was a surprising bonus to Julian's money swaying ways.

While he enjoyed exploiting this side effect he also worried about how his enemies could make use of this.

A week passed by in the blink of an eye to Julian and a Raknid army was reported near the Border wall. The Defensive Weapons started up and waited for the enemy to come within range.

The troops were briefed on the battle tactics of the enemy and they were all ready to act on a moments notice.

The horde began to move towards the wall but the guards realized it was a small scouting horde. The Real horde hid behind the mountains to South near the Seven Lakes of Vashota. Here they created a Hive made of flesh and bone spread across the mountian range like a plague. Disease festered in this hive but was kept down by the constant recycling of Bio matter.

Their intelligence was rapidly increasing over the years and they began to build base camps before attacking anything they deemed important. New variations of monsters were developed and now the raknids were the true rulers of the seven sun's territory.

The day was quiet when out of nowhere alarms sprang into action from the southern giga fortress #17. The army and the wall sprang to action and began to attack an oncoming horde of rakinds numbering a few hundred million. This overwhelming number baffled the General, the reports of the region didn't show this many Raknids in this area.

' Were they hiding underground? '

Now was not the time to think so Dimitri quickly gave out dozens of commands to his officers. The vast Bomber fleet gathered under the Imperium began to take to the skies. The hordes of robotic killing machines stationed within the Walls themselves activated and began to suicide charge into the enemy horde. The raknids were not the only ones that could make and recycle weapons of war efficiently. Over the years Julian silently developed more efficient melee machines. They possessed blades made of a special kosk alloy that secreted poison when exposed to blood. They were much smaller than the Raknid soldiers but a single scratch from their blades was capable of killing a Raknid in seconds.

A War of Annihilation was fought between the two sides. One controlled bio matter while the other controlled all types of matter.

The Hive mind of the horde learned from their mistakes and knew that a prolonged fight would result in their defeat so they attacked with such force the Elves, dwarves, orks and even the Draconians took notice.

Dimitri set a 5 minute timer on his small wrist watch and made sure the deployment of everything was going to plan. The radar showed an innumerable amount of red dots advancing across the border line and his heart tightened.

The empire declared martial law In the north eastern region of the Empire and the Army moved into battle formations. The sky lit up with millions of ranged attacks from the cultivators on the wall. Annihilation Arrays under both empires came alive and took aim on the oncoming horde. The second War of Armageddon against the Raknids had begun.

After being alerted of the battle by Ted and his copies, Julian stood in the sky cloaked by electricity. Blood swirled in his palm and he patiently waited for the horde to spread out more over the plains.

The battle was truly a one sided massacre, The weak blood and bone organisms made by the collected Biomass stood no chance against the spiritual weapons wielded by the two empires.

" General Dimitri activate the Extermination protocol, show these beasts the power of humanity! "

The telepathic order from Julian resounded in Dimitries mind and without a second thought he pushed pulled out a key and inserted it next to a large red button covered by a glass cage. As he turned the key the button was revealed and he slammed his fist onto it with no hesitation. Missile tech was available to the Imperium but it was only installed in isvan city as it was costly and time consuming to create.

A single Bomber lifted off from the center of the Giga fortress #18 and began to fly directly into the Hive city constructed by the Raknids. The plane was fast but the distance was far so the fierce battle continued for an hour before the plane was close to its destination.

With master level engineering he had access to the advanced American bombers but had yet to unlock the amazing stealth Bomber known as The B2 spirit. The current bomber used to carry this special payload was the Boeing B52 Stratofortress. The majority of the Bomber fleet was made of B17s as the advancement to master engineering was just made in the prior years.

The cargo in this specific plane was an experimental Atom bomb produced in a secret lab in the depths of Isvan by the 4 machine lord's. The learning speed of the 4 lord's was truly fascinating, thanks to their powerful minds they could take in an entire books worth of knowledge easily. With plenty of time these past 10 years their mechanical knowledge rivaled Julian's as he taught them everything he knew.

During this second War Julian expected to rank up his mechanical Rank once again. he was currently at roughly 34 million dead humans and only needed about 66 million more to advance. With an infinite lifespan he could easily rank up over time as mortals reproduced and died but he grew greedy. The desire to advance quickly took over his mind for the most part and he became crueler. This was all happening in his subconscious without him realizing it.

" Ted how many casualties do you expect this battle to incur on the Zavalla empire? "

" More than 100 million my lord! "

" 100 million! Hmmm seems like operation Reclaimer is working as intended. Soon the entirety of the western half of the Raknid horde will decend upon the wall. After many of the cultivators die it will be my opportunity to jump in and save the rest. "

Julian watched the Bomber fly into the horizon and a smile appeared on his face.
