The Martial Unity

RUMBLE…

A large number of whales gathered at the edge of a rocky coast, sending tremors across the entirety of both land and sea. Their artificial blubber touched the rocky coasts as platforms extended from within the seaport system, connecting to the many whales gathered in an array across the entire coast as far as the eye could see.

“Activating directional pathing.”

“Monitoring beast vitals.”

“Commencing beast boarding.”

From within the coast, a large number of giant bio-engineered beasts and monsters began slowly emerging from land, following controlled paths that led them directly into the titanic whales waiting for them in the sea, before ’boarding’ the whales.

The whalic vessels, as the therianthropes called them, were bio-engineered vessels that functioned as ships and submarines for most non-aquatic clans.

The whales above sea were shaped exactly like one might expect a ship to be. They had a skeletal structure that made for accessible innards and a pocket of helium within their gut that ensured that they remained afloat despite their great biomass and all the powerful systems within their body.

The submarine whalic vessels were closer to their natural counterparts, simply being more hollowed out on the inside to allow for the accommodation of a large number of beasts and monsters.

RUMBLE…

Tremors passed through the world as the beasts and monsters of the therianthropes rapidly boarded the many vessels prepared for their deployment in the darkness of the night.

An eerie chill hung in the air as countless whallic vessels were sprawled across the eastern seaboard of the Continent of Kiriket as the therianthropes went all out with mobilization.

Countless animals of countless species and genera emerged from within the continent at a rapid pace as they mobilized into the whallic vessels owned by many of the Pasupati Clans of Kiriket. Lord Vakratunda had managed to collectivize it to a certain extent by promising a share of the negatron matter in return for a quick sale, and other benefits for a permanent lease.

This streamlined the mobilization process of an extremely diverse army.

Out of all seven hominid species in the true world, the therianthropes had the most diversity among them. No other civilization could boast as much sheer differentiation between its individual groups within its civilization.

The advantages of this were that there were very few universal solutions against the therianthropes. Authority of Alpha, which was generally restricted to therianthropes, save for Rui, and the fact that therianthropes were weak outside of their beasts.

Aside from that, each group within the therianthrope army was vastly different from the other, making it impossible for any enemy to create solutions that were broadly effective against the therianthropes.

Another advantage that the therianthropes had in war was that they always had an intelligence-gathering advantage against their opponents. Gathering intelligence on an enemy could often have great impacts on war due to its strategic implications.

With the therianthropes, however, the information was too diversified and too different from group to group. Which meant that gathering intelligence on the therianthropes as a whole was an absolute nightmare. The intelligence communities around the true world truly dreaded the day that they would be required to carry out community assessments or intel-gathering operations on the therianthropes because it was almost entirely hopeless.

Naturally, the disadvantages of their militaristic diversity were equally high.

Mobilization became a nightmare, as was currently being experienced. For the reasons that Rui’s Yggdrasil System and Tree of Life Enlightenment were so effective, the beasts and monsters were sensitive to the environment, and that made transporting them highly challenging compared to other pathwalkers, who were much more convenient. Even with biomass compressing implosion technology, it was difficult to reduce the size of these creatures, meaning that their vessels needed to be extra large, which made mobilization take longer than other civilizations would need.

Yet, when they were finally ready, the seemingly endless whales containing what were effectively weapons of mass destruction would send a chill across anybody who beheld them.

RUMBLE…

The oceans quivered as the whales fired up their antimatter energy systems, preparing for dispatch. Even in the darkness of night, one could distinctly spot the countless whale-like ships and submarines sprawled across the eastern seaboard of the Continent of Kiriket.

“All preparations complete. Commence Dispatch.”

“Commencing Dispatch.”

RUMBLE!

The world shook as whales shot forth through the water at an alarming speed, charging straight east at a high velocity.

Normally, such high speeds for such massive and heavy vessels would not last very long, but it didn’t need to in the case of their destination.

The Acherialis Continent was extremely close to the Continent of Kiriket at many points. The two continents bordered each other and came as close as within ten thousand kilometers in some cases, which was a very small distance in the true world.

RUMBLE!

A titanic tsunami formed by the charging army of whales and their astronomical momentum, bolstering a larger and larger wave of water that only grew stronger with each passing moment as they charged east at alarming speeds despite their volume and mass.

From outer space, it would have resembled a dark wave emerging from the eastern coast of the Kiriket Continent and slamming into the western seaboard of the Acherialis Continent.

The movement was not missed by any party in the true world as alarms across the entire world began ringing off at the belligerence of the therianthropes of Kiriket attacking Greater Tekvoria.

Many of the nations on islands and smaller island-continents nearby began panicking as they realized that they could easily become collateral damage if the two continents waged war against each other. Just the tsunami caused by the approach of the whalic vessels was enough to potentially destroy their entire nations.

What was essentially a splash of water caused by a superpower in the true world was nothing short of an apocalypse to weaker nations and smaller forces in the true world.

Of course, the most direct impact on this would fall on none other than Greater Tekvoria, which was soon to experience a belligerent attack on its territory.
