Austronesia Empire, Inside The Exclusive Economic Zone, In The Ocean, Below The Ocean, Inside A Nuclear Submarine.

YNA 1, Friday, 1st Week, Month Of Noah

The sun is about to set, which is a perfect time for the nuclear submarines carrying the special operation forces to move into their intended locations.

Based on preliminary calculation, it could take days or even weeks to arrive at their destination. Once there, the teams would only have a few weeks to gather intelligence, as the rations they have would not last long enough. Furthermore, they must hide as much as possible, and if the situation calls for it, then it is good to open fire.

Each piece of equipment they possessed had a backup system that could trigger an explosion if activated by the user or remotely by central headquarters. A lot of faith and trust are being laid out on the table by the special operations soldiers.

In case of both failure by the central headquarters and the user, then there is also a backup button for each set of equipment in the main headquarters, which was the military high-command back in the Austronesian People's Empire.

One of these nuclear submarines was heading for the Iron Kingdom of the Dwarves, one of the many kingdoms by the dwarven people.

They chose this dwarven kingdom as it is not only one of the strongest nations in the Third Civilization Zone beside the Kingdom of High Tarxan, but it is also one of the nearest against the People's Empire.

The dwarves are known for their metallurgy, a unique type of magical ability that allowed them to craft superior military equipment and sell the defects or unsatisfactoriness to trade with. However, even if it was a defect or unsatisfactory, many other kingdoms widely sought it, as these pieces of equipment have strong magical affinities to help themselves.

Another one of these nuclear submarines was heading to the lands of the Orcs, and they are one of the cursed races of the world they were on.

According to legends, the Orcs originated from beyond this world and, upon their arrival thousands of years ago, they immediately wreaked havoc across the Third Civilization Zone, spreading like fungus that destroyed kingdom after kingdom with their numbers and devastating weapons.

The most dangerous aspect of the Orcs was not their numbers or weapons, but their strange form of reality-warping magic and rapid reproduction, despite lacking male sex organs.

Acknowledging this threat, several nations from the Second Civilization Zone sent out a few individuals that were blessed by their respective Gods and Goddesses to push the Orcs back. Additionally, the Orcs' reproduction rate decreased significantly in areas with higher mana density, preventing them from reaching other Civilization Zones.

Over the centuries, the Orc population slowly dwindled as the spores they released upon death became less and less due to increasing magic density in the air.

Noticing the changes, the Orcs have to find other ways to reproduce.

Fortunately for them, when more time had passed, the Orcs' biology slowly changed and adapted to this world, such as developing male sex organs in their bodies.

With this, they have more ways to reproduce, and what is a better thing to use their 'new weapon' for reproduction?

Simple... woman.

Therefore, Orcs became the highest pest in every kingdom. Killing and plundering is a problem for them, but now they began kidnapping women. Furthermore, a significant problem arose for each kingdom as the Orcs' population increased dramatically once more. They formed entire hordes, and have now taken down multiple kingdoms on their path, killing men, and enslaving women for reproduction.
