Chapter 442 Rupture
In the following days, the clouds of war grew thicker and thicker over the Comossos Islands, and people with a little bit of financial resources fled the islands that were about to be submerged in war. Tickets for airships and cruise ships were hard to come by, and in a short period of time, this world-famous tourist destination became very deserted.

In contrast to the ordinary people who were scrambling to leave the archipelago, ships of weapons and mercenaries arrived. They used the industrial park as their base and controlled most of the inhabited islands in the Comosso Archipelago.

The Comosa Biological Research Association continues to strengthen its industrial parks, stockpiling supplies as much as possible, turning them into indestructible fortresses, and showing an attitude of fighting a protracted war.

They had never ceded territory or paid compensation without going through a war, and even though they knew it would be very difficult to fight the undead without logistical support, the Comossa Biological Research Association had never considered surrendering without a fight. They hoped that their military deterrence would force the Glory Oath Empire to make concessions, and they also hoped that a protracted war would trigger conflicts within the empire.

A week later, the fleet of the Mass Theocracy arrived at the Comoss Islands, and an elite marine corps carrying heavy weapons retook the Miracle Island.

That evening, the Empire's Third and Fourth Fleets, led by Grand Prince Stefano, arrived at the Comosso Islands.

The Imperial Army took control of Funabashi Island.

Except for some small islands and reefs near Sail Island which have observation posts of the Imperial Army, all other islands are under the control of the Comosso Biological Research Association.

At this point, the armies of both sides have basically arrived.

Helot met the eldest prince of the empire for the first time in the Governor's Palace.

He is already middle-aged and looks very similar to Emperor Bradley. He wears the uniform of an Imperial Navy admiral and his left eye has been removed due to an injury and replaced with a mechanical eye.

When Emperor Bradley decided to appoint the second prince Aresta as the crown prince, the eldest prince Stefano was sent to serve in the navy. The purpose was of course to not affect the smooth handover of the imperial power, but no one expected Aresta to die young.

The crown prince whom he had carefully cultivated died in vain. At that time, Emperor Bradley looked upon everyone as the murderer.

Especially Stefano, logically speaking, he should be the biggest beneficiary after the death of the Crown Prince.

Therefore, Emperor Bradley never summoned Stefano back to the Covenant City, and Stefano never proposed to go back. He always led an imperial navy to maintain the empire's overseas colonies.

Years of military life have given the eldest prince a very strong military temperament, and he stands straight wherever he goes.

The army he trained and commanded was also in high spirits, and every soldier was energetic and murderous.

When he met Helot in the Governor's Mansion, Stefano did not act like a prince of the Empire, but saluted in a very standard military posture: "Governor Clauland, the commander of the 3rd and 4th mixed fleets of the Imperial Royal Navy, Stefano Bradley, salutes you. I am leading the fleet to support you by order of the Emperor of the Empire, and I will do my best to cooperate with your military operations in the Comosso Islands."

"Your Highness Stefano!" Helot saluted Stefano in return: "With your fleet's protection at sea, I can expel the empire's enemies more quickly."

Through the windows you can see the large fleet anchored on the sea.

The Imperial Royal Third and Fourth Fleets have six main battleships, ten battlecruisers, and fifty-four other types of ships including cruisers, destroyers, frigates, submarines, supply ships, wizard ships, etc.

There were more than thirty armed airships parked in the sky.

In order to support the war in the Comoss Islands, the Empire also requisitioned merchant ships to form a supply fleet dedicated to this war, and several other escort fleets to protect the supply routes.

Although the empire has been waging foreign wars continuously over the years, they have all been small-scale security wars and jurisdictional disputes over overseas colonies. It has been a long time since a large-scale war has been fought.

In this battle in the Comossos Islands, the Imperial Army, under the order of Emperor Bradley, made very large moves, which felt like using a butcher knife to kill a fly.

Although the eldest prince Stefano is not by Emperor Bradley's side, he is probably the one who knows him best.

The empire developed in line with the trend of the times, and its national strength reached its peak in history. However, due to its rapid development, domestic conflicts became increasingly intensified. Some people reaped the benefits of the times, while others failed to keep up with the pace of the times. Some became the new elite, while others were left out.

Because Stefano is far away from the political stage of the empire, he can see things more clearly.

The Bloody Rebellion hundreds of years ago became the fuse for the civil strife in the empire. Some people may not know what happened at that time, but they are willing to take the opportunity to reshuffle the empire.

At this time, Emperor Bradley decided to make a big move in the Comossos Islands, thinking that this war to conquer the territory would be used as a trigger to complete the national war preparations. After all, mobilizing for war without any reason would definitely cause social unrest. With the warm-up of the Comossos Islands war, the psychological impact on the people once the civil war started would not be so great.

The army also completed the transition from peacetime to wartime.

"I will obey your command, Governor. The empire is in urgent need of a great victory to let those who have their eyes covered see clearly that the current empire is not something they can shake."

Helot: "I know that the civil war in the empire... has begun! I have notified the representatives of the Comossa Biological Research Association to come to the Governor's Mansion for the final consultation. Your Highness, please attend."

"Honored!"

A new round of consultations was held again in the inquiry room of the Governor's Palace of the Comoss Islands.

Unlike the last time when Helot was alone, this time he was sitting on one side with Melinda, the representative of the Sea Island Group, and on the other side was the Imperial Crown Prince Stefano. There were not only undead in the room, but also an elite Imperial soldier and several genetically mutants.

Although the representatives of the Comossa Biological Research Association knew that the Sea Island Group had betrayed them, they still couldn't help showing anger when they saw Melinda sitting next to Helot. This was not just a betrayal by a biopharmaceutical group, but it also brought more uncertainty to the already disunited Comossa Biological Research Association.

No one knows whether the person sitting on one side will sit on the other side next time.

Damon sat opposite Helot, who was now the head of the Comossa Biological Research Association's fight against the Imperial Army, because the other representatives did not want to be too conspicuous in this meeting.

If they fail, they will still have to deal with the Glory Oath Empire.

This is why, even though they occupied many islands and even surrounded Sail Island in the middle, they still put themselves in a defensive position.

But the support that should be given to Damon still needs to be given.

What if the Mass Theocracy wins?
Damon certainly understood his current situation, but the complete failure of the "Angel Descends to Earth" experiment made the Pope extremely angry. Moreover, all the priests in charge of these projects were not in the industrial park for various reasons, so all the responsibilities fell on himself who had no background to rely on.

Only by defeating the Empire of the Oath of Honor and obtaining territories and compensation can the Pope's anger be appeased.

But it was really tiring to fight with such a group of teammates. Fortunately, the arrival of the Church Army gave Damon enough confidence.

"Governor Clauland, I think you have clearly seen the difficulties you are facing. You only have one Sail Island now, and the supplies on the island are not enough to supply the fleet commanded by His Highness Stefano. The supplies we have can meet all the consumption of the army. We can produce weapons and medicines by ourselves, and we can continuously create genetic mutants.

Your undead cannot be infinite, but our resources are infinite. This is a war you have no chance of winning. Once you lose... our demands will not be just that little."

Damon was threatening Helot and also cheering for the representatives of the Comosa Biological Research Association.

Helot could see that the representatives of the Comosa Biological Research Association were playing both sides. This final negotiation was not for peace at all, but to shock them again. The support of the Comosa Biological Research Association to the Mass Theocracy would determine how long it would take to end the war.

Helot didn't want to fight a protracted war in the Comoss Islands.

"If I had just arrived at the Comosso Islands, I might have been deceived by your lies. The resources of the islands simply cannot meet the needs of large-scale industrial production. I believe you can produce medicines, but I absolutely do not believe you can mass-produce weapons.

The idea of ​​the Undead War is to fight with consumption, consume the enemy's supplies, consume the enemy's magic power, and consume the enemy's spirit. No matter how advanced the weapons in your hands are, or how powerful they are, I will only use the tide of skeletons to advance. Let's see who will be consumed first, your weapons or my undead.

For the first wave of attack, I am going to deploy one million skeletons. There is no need for a ferry. They can walk from the bottom of the sea to the island where you are..."

A million skeletons!

No island is big enough to hold it.

Moreover, the ocean barrier surrounding the island is equivalent to non-existence to the undead.

Representatives of the Comosa Biological Research Association could already imagine the scene of a million skeletons walking out of the sea and landing. At this time, the sea surface between the islands became an obstacle to their mutual support. Any industrial park facing an impact of this scale would only end up being destroyed.

Do the mercenaries they hired have the courage to fight to the death in the face of the undead's war mode?
Traditional undead wars have no fancy tactics, and they even dare to tell you openly what I am going to do next.

The representatives of the Comosa Biological Research Association had a shadow over their hearts.

All living things fear death.

But death cannot threaten the undead.

The pressure was put on Damon. If he could not fight back against Helot at the negotiating table, it would directly affect the support of the Comosa Biological Research Association.

Damon stared at Helot: "If you die, your undead army will be no threat."

Helot looked at Damon coldly: "I'll wait for you here!"

……

The last negotiation ended with both sides exchanging harsh words.

Negotiations broke down and the war in the Comossos Islands officially began.

The eldest prince returned to the flagship and commanded the fleet to protect the coastal waters of Sail Island. Helot mobilized a large number of undead from the family cemetery and filled all the visible coasts with skeletons. The navy sent frogmen to survey the seabed topography and select underwater roads suitable for the undead to pass through.

Representatives of the Comosa Biological Research Association moved to Miracle Island to hold a war mobilization meeting.

At the conference table, everyone had their own expression, and they were all secretly observing the expressions of others, trying to guess what their teammates were trying to do.

Knight Damon sat at the head of the group in half-armor, his face extremely serious. “I can see that you are all frightened by the undead army of the Claulund family. I admit that I was frightened too. After all, it’s the first time for you to face an army mainly composed of undead.

But the weakness of the undead army is also very clear, that is Helot Claulund.

According to the intelligence department of the Church of Christ, Claulund's strength is probably between the first and second level of the Transcendental, and definitely not the third level of the Transcendental. As long as I can break through his guard network, I can kill him."

"But how to break through his guard network?" A representative said pessimistically: "In the battle to encircle the Deep Prison, he used three Transcendent Level 3 at a time to deal with the Bone King, who had reached the Transcendent Level 4. Now the Island Group has joined him. I heard that the Island Group gave him a Transcendent Level 3 genetic mutant to command.

He has at least four Level 3 Transcendents and even more Level 2 Transcendents around him. How many Level 3 Transcendents do you have that can break through his guard net?"

The Komosas Biological Research Association has sent several waves of assassins to assassinate Helot, but all of them were killed in vain. Living beings simply cannot get into the Governor's Mansion full of undead, and even getting close will be discovered.

Therefore, if one wants to kill Helot, one can only concentrate the top military forces to storm the Governor's Mansion.

When facing four Level 3 Transcendents, don't even think about a surprise attack unless you have at least five Level 3 Transcendents.

Damon said: "The Mass Theocracy can send three Level 3 Transcendents including me as commandos. To be on the safe side, I need four more Level 3 Transcendents. I think you should be able to get them all."

The representatives of the Comosa Biological Research Association looked away and pretended not to hear.

The Extraordinary Level 3 can only be developed by super-large biomedical groups, and it is a force deterrent they can rely on. If there is no more than 90% chance of winning, they will never take out their Extraordinary Level 3.

Seeing the attitude of the representatives of the Comossa Biological Research Association, Damon said angrily: "While I fight for the Theocracy, I also fight for the interests of the Comossa Biological Research Association. If you don't kill Helot, you can only watch the undead flatten your industrial parks one by one.

This is a war of life and death, are you still thinking of reconciling with the Empire?"

Representatives of the Comosa Biological Research Association certainly wanted to keep a way out of reconciliation with the Empire.

Then the meeting room fell into a long silence.

Until a woman suddenly walked into the conference room: "We can provide two Level 3 Transcendents as a force to raid the Governor's Mansion."
