Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　The unparalleled firepower and overwhelming number of carrier-based aircraft made the members of the Firemoth Council realize that having an airborne fleet would greatly enhance the Firemoth's combat capabilities and strategic mobility.

　Therefore, even though building airships requires a huge investment of manpower and resources, the members of the Firemoth Council are still determined to create their own airship fleet.

　The glorious victory of the Fire Moth not only instilled unprecedented confidence in human society on this planet, but its proclaiming of its own power also caused ambitious individuals to completely abandon their awe of the Honkai.

　With the Moth of Fire as their backing, these ambitious forces no longer need to worry about the situation spiraling out of control.

　In that case, the Honkai becomes an excellent tool for them to pursue personal gain and expand their power.

　Admittedly, the equipment for refining Honkai crystals is expensive and difficult to obtain, making it an unattainable luxury for most ambitious individuals.

　However, if they choose to lower their goals and only pursue Honkai energy condensate, then the difficulty of achieving it will be greatly reduced, almost exponentially.

　For ordinary humans who lack Honkai energy resistance, the difference between Honkai crystals and Honkai energy condensate is not significant.

　The main difference between them is that the latter takes much longer to accumulate enough Honkai energy to cause Honkai disease in ordinary people.

　As long as ambitious individuals can accurately manage their time and properly plan, the problems are actually quite easy to solve.

　Using the remains of Honkai Beasts and zombies circulating on the black market, combined with the technology of this era, it is not difficult to extract low-concentration Honkai energy condensate.

　Never underestimate the hands-on abilities of ordinary people; the genius teenager in the US who handcrafted a nuclear reactor in his garage has already proven this point.

　The involvement of ambitious individuals has made the process of refining Honkai energy condensate much easier.

　As bottle after bottle of purple Honkai energy condensate was successfully extracted, the situation facing the Fire Moth became increasingly complex and severe.

　Of course, before the first attack using Honkai as a weapon occurs, Moth of the Flame doesn't need to worry about this issue for the time being.

　In a small town in Texas, North America.

　Inside an ordinary three-story building, a dozen or so people dressed in various styles gathered together.

　They sat around a round table, discussing an important topic in hushed tones.

　"Everyone, the current situation is very clear."

　Looking around at his companions, one of them said in a deep voice.

　"Our reserves of Honkai energy condensate have reached the expected standards."

　As he finished speaking, the other person seemed to be touched by some deep-seated memory, and a barely perceptible hesitation flashed in his eyes.

　“Fayk, we understand what you’ve said very well, but do we really need to go this far?”

　Upon hearing this, Faik's expression turned serious, and he looked directly at the companion who had asked the question.

　"At this point, do we have any other options?"

　His words struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

　Yes, now they have no way out.

Chapter 291 The Honkai Force in the Human Civil War

　"Have our partners' goods arrived on schedule?"

　A burly man with a thick beard anxiously inquired of his adjutant.

　"Yes, General."

　The adjutant's voice revealed a hint of excitement.

　"They are as trustworthy as ever, and the quality of their goods is impeccable."

　This is also the fundamental reason why Faik said they had no way out.

　The Honkai Energy Condensate, being a crucial commodity, has been fully delivered to the partners, and now all they can do is wait.

　After listening to the adjutant's report, the burly man with a thick beard named Diego unfolded a military map.

　In this turbulent land, anyone who holds an army can call themselves a general.

　However, to stand out among the many "generals," Diego knew he had to break with convention and find a unique path.

　It was at this time that a mysterious underground organization from the north contacted him.

　In exchange for a stable supply of weapons, funds, and local specialties, General Diego received valuable resources—Honkai energy condensate—given by Fayk's organization.

　Are those wild beasts ready?

　While sketching something on a military map and rapidly calculating various data in his notebook, General Diego asked his adjutant without looking up.

　"Yes, General, they are in excellent condition and full of energy."

　"very good."

　General Diego nodded in satisfaction.

　"Later, you will personally oversee the injection of Honkai energy into those beasts. We will use these modified monsters to destroy government forces..."

　Yes, that was General Diego's plan.

　By injecting Honkai energy condensate into the bodies of pre-captured beasts, beast-type Honkai Beasts are artificially created.

　Although this type of Honkai Beast is the weakest among the Honkai Beasts, it is not worth mentioning to the regular army of a powerful nation equipped with Honkai energy weapons.

　However, on this land, these beast-like Honkai Beasts are undoubtedly a great threat to the government forces, whose equipment is not superior to that of these resistance fighters.

　Moreover, since these Honkai Beasts are relatively weak, General Diego is confident that he can completely control them and does not need to worry about being devoured by these monsters.

　After eliminating those government troops, there should be very few of these monsters left...

　General Diego secretly plotted and confidently devised a grand plan to become the overlord of this region by leveraging the power of beast-type Honkai Beasts.

　Everything went quite smoothly.

　According to data provided by allies, Diego's forces successfully deployed the beast-type Honkai Beasts, transformed from Honkai energy condensate, to a key node on the government forces' marching route.

　In this chaotic and barren land, far too many people are willing to risk their lives for the greenbacks of the US dollar.

　Even though they knew that releasing beast-type Honkai Beasts was an extremely dangerous thing, General Diego still had no shortage of soldiers under his command who were attracted by the high bounty and were willing to take on this dangerous mission.

　As they were clearly informed of the risks before carrying out the mission.

　As the devices binding the Honkai monsters were removed one by one, hundreds of beast-type Honkai beasts broke free of their cages like wild horses.

　Immediately afterwards, these enormous and varied Honkai monsters pounced on the soldiers closest to them.

　Faced with such a terrifying scene, the soldiers who were originally responsible for releasing them were immediately filled with fear, and their courage to fight vanished in an instant.

　They could only do their utmost to struggle desperately in the surging tide of Honkai Beasts, searching for a glimmer of hope to escape this catastrophe.

　Unfortunately, apart from a few soldiers who successfully seized vehicles and were lucky enough to avoid being surrounded by Honkai beasts, most of the other soldiers who carried out this mission became prey for these Honkai beasts and were cruelly torn to pieces by them.

　General Diego kept his promise to those lucky ones who struggled on the brink of death and ultimately escaped by sheer luck.

　He generously rewarded them, demonstrating his credibility and commitment as a leader.

　General Diego's ambitions extended far beyond being a minor warlord; he longed to establish his own kingdom in this chaotic land.

　And credibility and prestige are the indispensable cornerstones for him to realize this grand blueprint.

　Getting back to the main point, since General Diego's troops were unable to withstand the horde of those beast-type Honkai Beasts, the government forces dispatched by the local government to besiege him were naturally unable to easily cope with this challenge either.

　As night fell, the government troops marched through the dim light...

　Moving slowly under the moonlight.

　Poor treatment and meager rations that barely sustain them led to low morale and a lack of fighting spirit within the team.

　However, this is considered the norm in this area.

　However, the frustration and exhaustion of humans are meaningless to the Honkai Beasts.

　As government troops entered the range of these beast-like Honkai Beasts, pairs of crimson eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness.

　"Roar!"

　A deafening roar echoed through the night sky as the beast-type Honkai Beasts surged wildly out of the darkness, like a nightmare awakened from its slumber.

　The government army's marching column was thrown into chaos by the sudden terrorist attack.

　The soldiers panicked and tried to find a way to escape in the darkness, but all their struggles seemed so futile in the face of the endless horde of beasts.

　The Honkai Beasts charged toward the crowd at an astonishing speed, their sharp claws and fangs gleaming deadly in the pale moonlight.

　"Bang bang bang..."

　Driven by their survival instincts, government soldiers frantically pulled the triggers, trying to stop the frenzied attack of the beast-type Honkai Beasts with firepower.

　However, those small-caliber assault rifles designed for human civil wars are not really that effective against these mutated Honkai monsters.

　While these firearms can inflict some damage on the beast-type Honkai Beasts, they cannot completely defeat them in a short period of time.

　When the first Honkai Beast broke through the defenses and charged into the soldiers' ranks, tragedy was already inevitable.

　The soldiers watched helplessly as these monsters frantically tore their comrades apart, cruelly ripping them to pieces one by one.

　Blood splattered everywhere, and cries of agony and screams rose and fell, filling the entire battlefield with an atmosphere of death and despair.

　The hastily constructed defensive line of the government forces collapsed at an alarming rate under the onslaught of Honkai Beasts, and soldiers fell one after another.

　Despite the commanders' best efforts to organize a counterattack, their efforts seemed utterly futile in the face of the Honkai Beasts' overwhelming power.

　As time went on, the government forces were gradually compressed into a small area.

　The soldiers stood back to back, using their last ounce of strength to fight a desperate battle against the Honkai Beasts.

　But in this battle where the odds are stacked against them, they are destined to be unable to withstand the onslaught of Honkai Beasts.

　When the last soldier fell in a pool of blood, only the roars of the Honkai Beasts and the blood-red battlefield under the moonlight remained on the battlefield.

　This bloody massacre not only marked the defeat of the government forces, but also revealed to those with a keen eye the vast potential of turning Honkai into weapons.

Chapter 292 Attitude towards the weaponization of Honkai

　General Diego used artificially created beast-like Honkai Beasts to destroy and annihilate the government forces that attacked his territory. This is just one example among many real-world applications of Honkai weapons in human civil wars.

　While such large-scale applications of Honkai as weapons are rare, he is not the only one.

　The fire-chasing moth is not entirely unaware of this.

　However, within the Moth of Fire's council, there is fierce debate about how to properly handle such incidents.

　So far, most of the countries that have been attacked by Honkai weapons are small, weak nations that have little say within the Firemoth.

　For major powers with influence, allowing ambitious forces to test Honkai weapons on the land of smaller countries seems to be a strategic choice.

　These powerful nations confidently believed that, in the face of their regular forces, which were already equipped with second-generation Honkai energy weapons, neither the suicide soldiers nor the beast-type Honkai beasts were any more than vulnerable enemies.

　Therefore, they are not worried that these ambitious people's experiments will get out of control; on the contrary, they are happy to use them to test the effectiveness of the Honkai weapons.

　Once the time is right, these powerful nations will, in the name of upholding justice, decisively send troops to seize these advanced weapons and technologies, thereby further consolidating their international status and influence.

　In this situation, they certainly wouldn't let the fire-chasing moths disrupt their plans.

　Upon receiving explicit instructions from their respective nations, the members of parliament representing their national interests swiftly took action within the Moth Chaser Parliament to ensure that the Moth Chaser would not become an obstacle to their national interests.

　It is well known that in a parliamentary system, a few key members can easily bring an issue to a standstill by making a small move.

　The current Moth Chaser is not the same Moth Chaser after the Ninth Great Collapse.

　Before the continent of Mu is swallowed by the artificial black hole of the Ninth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Rock, the decisions and actions of the Fire Moth will inevitably be influenced and interfered with by the will of the major powers.

　In fact, the vast majority of the Moths of the Fire Chaser Parliament members, including Senators Eugene, Wang, and Vincent, have backgrounds and origins closely linked to these powerful nations.

　Their status and power largely depend on the support and protection of these countries.

　For many members of parliament, without the unwavering support of these nations, their position in the Firemoth Parliament would be precarious, or even jeopardized.

　They lost their seats.

　Therefore, in situations where their own interests are not directly involved, they often choose to avoid getting involved in disputes to prevent unnecessary trouble for themselves.

　With some deliberately stirring up trouble and others standing by indifferently, the voices of the few members of parliament who genuinely cared about the well-being of people in war-torn regions were naturally drowned out by the infighting within parliament.

　Of course, in order to reap the sweet fruits of ambition, watered with blood and death, under the guise of justice in the future, those powerful nations did not manipulate the representatives in the Moth Chaser Council to directly veto or interfere with proposals related to relevant matters.

　Moros was aware of the escalating man-made collapse disasters on the planet.

　At least MP William is a legitimate member of parliament who is a moth to a flame.

　On issues not involving necromancers, he was still able to obtain the same accurate and detailed information as other members of parliament through the official channels of the Firemoth.

　Thanks to Councilor William's report, the necromancer was also able to glimpse the various farces unfolding within the Moth Chaser Council.

　Yes, Moros's assessment of these man-made Honkai disasters and the actions of the Fire Moths was that it was a farce.
