Chapter 364 - War!!!
Once the chief councilor gave his verdict, it was final!
"Let the Anemone Domain go to war!"
The Anemone Domain was unlike anything that Sebastian had encountered in this world before. Unlike Leroy's quack clan where Sebastian spent his first days in Oceania and Old Mak's clan, this settlement was like a beast nation!
Of course, the Anemone Domain did not have the numbers to justify them being a beast nation, but their military might was more than enough.
Also, their policies were modeled systematically like a nation's.
Throughout since the commotion of the Orca Revolution took everywhere by storm, and the subsequent full-scale invasion of the Snake Kingdom, the Anemone Domain was only resisting passively.
But for the first time since all the chaos started, the Anemone Domain received the go-ahead from their chief councilor to abandon staying passive.
For the first time, they actively engaged in this war.
Once the councilor gave the order, the whole Anemone Domain felt it in only a few minutes. The whole clown city came under a state of lockdown as the internal clown police mobilized in full force.
This war was not normal. To the clownfish, this war against their archenemies was akin to a world war so they responded appropriately.
The first response was trimming down on all the visitors in the city.
The clownfish police swept across all the major zones of the city like the plague, arresting the visitors and dissecting every single hidden secret about them to arrive at the truth.
This was all in a quest to fish out any spies.
Unlike the Snake Kingdom which was a high-grade rural settlement exclusive to only snakes, the Anemone Domain was a more open rural settlement.
The clownfish were aware of this shortcoming which was they struct hard at it first. All the visitors including Sebastian were taken into custody as a wartime investigation began to determine their real identity and motives.
While this happened and was left in the hands of the clownfish police, the clownfish army finally mobilized in its full force for the first time in over a decade.
Unlike the Snake Kingdom army, the clownfish army was more heterogeneous and was more focused on technology than individual strength.
One advantage of technology was that it never became obsolete.
Even back on earth, a version of a technological gadget never lasted too long, Android version 1 quickly became obsolete, giving space to higher versions to version 10 and beyond. This was an advantage that the clownfish army had.
In this past decade of peace, the snakes evolved, increased their strength which was expected but the clownfish were confident that they evolved more.
Compared to a decade ago, virtually all their military-grade technological weapons and gadgets were completely different.
This became apparent once the floodgates of the zone of transition were opened, connecting the factory zone to the working-class zone which was the more direct route for mobilizing the clownfish army.
Before the clownfish army was officially mobilized, all the investigations and checks were completed. This included the milder investigation operation that was targeted towards clownfish that may have been corrupted.
Any visiting predator with a default was executed on the spot, defaulting clownfish were detained, while the others reunited with the clownfish who were all put under a state of clownfish martial law order.
The clownfish martial law order started that in war periods, every beast who was not part of the army all had their movements restricted and were all to be taken to the underground shelter holds.
In this period, they had no will of their own, they were like probationary soldiers of the Anemone Domain and were expected to listen to any and every order of the leading clownfish Commanders.
With this done, all the zones of the Anemone Domain became vacant for the massive clownfish army to pass through.
Clang!
The clownfish army finally emerged!
The clownfish army consisted of thousands of military-grade shuttles that were far more advanced than the ones allocated to patrol teams.
Not only shuttles, but the army's emergence was also followed by the emergence of massive machines that looked like submarines. This was the new advanced deep-Sea warship that was developed by the clownfish engineers.
Underwater tank-like mini-shuttles with long-range missile payloads, ultra-range seamount destroyers, hypersonic positron beam launchers, and even more hidden weapons were part of the entourage of the massive army.
All these technological marvels were not the main ones that stole the show though, what stole the show was the iconic machines of the clownfish army, the mechs that they were proud of and had achieved massive success with.
Tens of thousands of mechs in different shapes and sizes swarmed after the larger mechanical vessels of mass destruction.
This was the clownfish army!
The clownfish showed no hesitation. They were the extension of the almighty chief councilor, and they were willing and prepared to deliver his verdict to the arrogant snakes.
Once the army passed through all the zones of the Anemone Domain and arrived outside, they boarded the military-grade shuttles and left.
Before they left, the defense of the Anemone Domain was already set. The Giant Sea Anemones that originally seemed gentle already rose to the challenge.
Their originally bright and colorful tentacles now showed an ominous purple, revealing lethal poison, with giant sharp spikes jutting out of the tentacles as the Sea Anemones formed the first line of defense of the Anemone Domain.
With their assurance, the army could finally go to war unbridled. The army only had to travel for 3 hours before they met the first enemy force, and they were sure to unleash destruction.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The clash of the snakes and the clownfish was legendary!
Snakes clashed with the mechs that were piloted by the clownfish, military-grade shuttles collided with military-grade shuttles, war machines clashed with war machines as they ruthlessly unleashed all their payloads without restraint.historical
Once the war between these 2-hegemon high-grade rural settlements began, it was like the world itself in this region was coming to an end.
Even the microscopic organisms in this region were not spared from the danger. Ameoba, Spirogyras, were all affected by the destruction wrought by these 2 powers as lives were lost at dizzying rates.
The real entry of the clownfish army into this war was nothing short of bombastic. Of course, the soldiers did not fail to deliver the message of their chief councilor to the leading hibernating elder of the snakes.
With this, the stakes in this war became higher again.
The bombastic charge of the clownfish enabled them to start erecting bombardment outposts around the periphery of their territory to prepare for the possible invasion-press of the snakes.
While they did this, even more, clownfish mechs surged outwards to hunt down more snakes. The war already reached a peak once it started.
One thing was for sure, and that was that this peak would last since none of these 2 high-grade rural settlements was going down so easily. This was going to be an exciting and long-drawn-out battle.
The only question was, who was going to emerge victorious in the end?
..
With his fellow anatomists, Sebastian was in an underground shelter in the clown city that was more luxurious than the one other visitor predators stayed in.
In here, Sebastian could do nothing more than to analyze the battle situation through his doppelgangers that he already sent out beforehand.
While everyone in here was tense and afraid, Sebastian's brain was as calculative as a supercomputer as he compared different scenarios in his head, trying to determine the exact time for him to start his operation.
It took him a long time, but he decided to lay low for now.
"The time is not ripe yet, let it escalate further".
