Chapter 441: Up and Down Parties
During this period, the dispersal of the black fog continued several rounds, and its offensive began with the bombardment of 12 potential energy bombs, and then the bombardment of dozens of high-explosive bombs of various types as an interlude, and finally ended with dozens of pre-stored transcendent attacks, setting off a power that should not be underestimated in just 2 to 3 elf lanterns.
In fact, each batch of attacks in several rounds can be said to cover all areas of the city in terms of the scope of destruction;
And it is true that in the overlapping layers of time periods, most of the urban areas here are full of successive injuries, so that this depraved but prosperous city is almost completely reduced to ruins, and the buildings that extend upwards through the black fog have all disappeared, and the survivors inside have been annihilated by more than eighty percent after the end of these waves.
By this time, most of the mirage-like Fog Castle had disappeared, and only the isolated island under the protection of the monsters was still strong after the end of such an offensive.
~~~~~~
As far as you can see from the air, more than a dozen long columns, long cubes, and long cones full of fine cracks are breaking through the sea of fog in the middle of the isolated island, standing under the sky like before, and they are shining with dazzling glow in the oblique light of the sunset.
When the fog-roofed buildings in the wider surrounding area disappear, this isolated island with a radius of hundreds of meters is really like a strange cloud city, but its base is not a snow-colored cloud as white as cotton, but a black cloud brewing with endless thunder and torrential rain;
Although it looks a little ominous, although the dreaminess of Cloudsdale is more inclined to the direction of nightmares, but under the protection of monsters, the attack on the isolated island was all deflected or shattered, when 8% of the intelligent beings in the city were wiped out without any scruples, this is the area with the highest concentration of survivors, and those intelligent beings who were imprisoned here or after were lucky to survive several rounds of attacks that were enough to destroy the city.
The identities of these survivors are diverse, ranging from old customers who have committed heinous crimes, to first-time customers who have just been lured by the abyss, to caregivers who have no clear view of good and evil due to lack of education, to victims who have some flaws but most of them are not dead.
At this moment, no matter what identity they retained, no matter what they had done, they could only struggle to survive in this area hundreds of meters in diameter, and always pay attention to the increase in the height of the fog, so that they could move their feet to the higher floors in time to dodge.
Because after several rounds of dispersal and bombardment, the fog between the upper and lower cities has indeed become much sparser, and the coverage area and height have shrunk and decreased significantly;
Although the recovery is rapid, it will take some time to reach the previous state and expand again into areas that have not been reached before, so as to effectively affect the survivors;
So it's good to say for now, after all, there is enough height cushioning for them to use, and there is no risk of fog overflowing the building in a short time;
As long as the monsters don't mess around. In other words, as long as the planet masters don't mess around again, the isolated island survivors will be safe for a while.
At the same time, the survivors of the previous rounds of attacks from the direction of the orbit also saw clearly from the tall building, and thus extinguished the initial hope that the operator would rescue them, and began to pray in their hearts for the continued favor of luck.
But in any case, the unscrupulousness of the planet's operators frightened them, and they felt that the chances of continuing to survive were quite slim.
Among them, the customers hate the operator even more than the monster at the moment, and secretly vow to find a way to take revenge if they have a chance to live;
For this reason, they even did not hesitate to reveal their identities to form an alliance with the rest of the customers, preparing to keep in touch after escaping and ascending to heaven, and each of them contributed resources in their respective forces, striving to promote the investigation and encirclement of the operators behind it.
Of course, this may be more of a self-consolation in despair, at least not in the slightest fear of the high-level approach;
Presumably, if you don't care about the integration of the power and resources of the remnants in the city at all, you are confident that none of them can get out, and at the same time, you can also ensure that the public opinion of the dark world is inclined to you, and you will not let this place lose its source of customers and money because of this operation.
In all of these situations, the Operations Command was aware of the monster's protection of the island, but was not sure if it was acting on instinct, or if it was actually planning something in it and consciously avoiding its destruction.
It's actually a good thing to confirm.
Just come in a few rounds early, but be careful not to spread the attack throughout the city as before, but to concentrate it in the isolated island area as much as possible;
Under the stacking of density, there is always an attack to break through the monster's protection and explode on the ground, and then complete a temporary fog removal in physical or transcendent effects;
In this way, the surface below and the underground area within a certain depth will be within the observation range of the instrument and even the naked eye before the fog returns, and it is very likely that the arrangement of the monster will be clear, or even destroyed, and it is even possible to disperse the monster itself.
However, when an agency similar to the Joint Staff reported the plan, this policy, which had a high degree of implementation, was rejected by the top management
~~~~~~~
The 12 new garrisons are the highest status in the base at the moment, and the original command structure has undergone a reorganization since their arrival.
The six 'military ranks' who remained silent in the meeting were actually not general-type units in charge of military command, but thug-type powerhouses known for their individual combat power;
In anticipation, when the garrison arrives, they will be responsible for pinning down the front, cooperating with the individual former and the newly arrived garrison forces on the second line, encircling, killing, and capturing the former here.
The remaining six 'civilians' actually held the respective military power of the six forces here, and the size of the new garrison that came with them was nearly ten times the total number of the old garrison;
The top supervisors of the six parties who were originally stationed here are not even as good as many of the senior cadres in the new garrison, which has also led to the need to restructure the command system, and then the new garrison directors have taken over the military power and formed a joint staff organization.
Therefore, the command of the base is in the hands of the 12 new high-ranking officers, who are responsible for stationing here in an eventful time and looking for opportunities to capture the garrison, but in fact they still have a series of ideas of 'wanting this and avoiding it'.
Broadly speaking, they want to perpetuate the existence of the monster and make some unique mechanism work on unknown principles, thus attracting the arrival of the Pan-Universe Guards, giving them the opportunity to be the first to engage them and complete the capture mission.
At the same time, they also want to grasp the preparations that the monster is making under the cover of the black fog, trying to avoid the possibility of some kind of plot that may exist under the black fog to cause greater damage in the future;
But at the same time, I don't want the monster to take more intense actions due to excitement, so as to avoid the risk of expanding the growth of the damaged area and the damaged surface area, it is best to limit the battlefield to the area of the first battle from beginning to end, that is, the city that has been destroyed at the foot of the monster at this moment.
The main reason for this is that they want to reduce the loss of financial resources as much as possible while making meritorious contributions, so as to make their own contributions here more valuable, so as to win the satisfaction of the higher forces behind them.
But they are very desperate for their lives, and they are not willing to go into battle in person before the situation is clear, and pull the attention of the monster on the front line;
If they are willing to go into battle to pull the monster, and cooperate with the fire suppression from the orbit in the attack and defense, they may be able to limit the range of action and damage of the monster, or they may be able to achieve their purpose relatively easily;
But they are absolutely unwilling, because in the eyes of the garrison, the monster seems to have a deep interaction with the spirit world, and even according to the garrison department, it is a projection of the negative aggregation of the spirit world in reality;
The spirit world is strange and powerful, and the transcendents who use psionic energy are known for their diversity, and there is no shortage of those who are so powerful that they are almost uncontrollable, not to mention this monster that is suspected to have been conceived by the spirit world;
As a result, the garrisons did not go to the front line out of reserve and inertia, and on the other hand, they did fear that they would fall into the hands of the strangers.
Against this backdrop, the newly formed Joint Staff is not very easy to carry out its work, because the strategy and tactics they can formulate are actually quite limited based on the thoughts and thoughts of the core high-level members of the garrison, and both the intensity of attack and the choice of exploration methods seem to be wearing layers of shackles
Faced with the half-demands of the high-level who want everything but are very desperate, they need to make a plan that has a certain meaning and can be implemented while catering to the wishes of the top.
The cost is also relatively huge, because the half-hung plan formed by the half-hung idea has led to the loss of tens of thousands of rapid reaction troops on the front line of the battlefield, and has caused eighty percent of the intelligent lives in the city to become victims;
The former were either confirmed dead in the city, or declared missing due to disappearance after the black fog cleared, and those who had lost contact with the department were also believed to have been killed or injured after several previous rounds of attacks;
The vast majority of the latter, in fact, have been in a state of de facto neglect from the start, and have been truly abandoned in previous rounds of dispersal attempts, resulting in the island beneath the monster's feet being the only known surviving settlement;
There is some irony, full of ominous Cloudsdale and the monster that was the origin of the incident, at this time, it has become the only shelter of life.

"Damn. This black fog is starting to emerge again, is there no way to dispel it at all? ”
Outside the city, a squad leader overlooking the ruins said
After tossing and turning, the conclusion reached by Shang Feng did not change in the slightest, and he decided to send a small solid force into the black fog, check in the range, try to enter the core area of the isolated island, and return with the information.
After attacking in various permitted ways for a long time, the team of soldiers who were sent to the front line due to the failure of their own representatives to draw lots did not escape the fate of entering the black fog in person after all.
"But it's also a lot lighter, and it seems that it will take some time to get back to the previous form, if there are no new changes in the middle. Since you have to go in and go through, use this mechanism to better ensure survival, after all, no amount of complaining can change the established facts. ”
"The goal is that messa, but what is the monster trying to do, is it deliberately guarding that area, or is it just a coincidence?"
"I don't know, but trust me, everyone hopes it was just an accident, that it just wanted to sleep there for a while, and that the missile that destroyed us was just protecting the bed."
"Hehe, you're so humorous. Let's start checking your equipment, the armor will turn on the maximum power of Psychic Resistance, Interference Resistance, and carry three units of psionic dispel bombs"
"The upper peak is urging, the command has given a direct route to the central area, there are thirty points on it that will be attacked at a predetermined time, and after clearing the fog again, those places will become our safe houses, all the way to the edge of the isolated island area."
"Understood, it seems like a good way, so how do we go after we go in, do we want to be together? Maybe there will be a response to some extent. ”
"It's not clear that it might be better together, but previous information shows that there was an internal scuffle between the security forces, so in order to prevent us from being killed by our own people, we should not get too close, but we can't completely enter alone. The weapon is locked, set to a mode where it cannot attack its own people, and then it moves forward in five or five component areas. ”
"That's it, the signal condition of the drone is very poor, and the signal strength is still decreasing, and it has been determined that we will lose contact with the command."
"The more you drag, the more troublesome it is, 3,000 standard steps from the first safe zone, the attack landing time is after 12 standard minutes, the expected dispersal duration is 3 standard minutes, and strive to reach the first destination smoothly at 12 minutes."
~~~~~~~~~
Through the extension of her perception, Cynthia was aware of the new group of forty outsiders early on, and watched them all the way as they called to disperse the attack and then walked into the black fog.
So at this time, in order to avoid the orbiter to take more radical measures, she also chose to deal conservatively before the temporary base was built.
When the new troops entered the fog, she did not let the negative aura directly erode the center, but as if they were barely guarded by the armor generals, allowing them to move towards the target area in the black fog in fear when they could be breached at any time.
At the same time, there were not only ruins and broken walls among the ruins hidden in the black mist, but there was a slight movement under the urging of the aura effect, and holes in various areas, large or small, intact or damaged, were opened, and one head came out of it with the helmet of the security team and watched around.
There were thousands of security warriors who did not escape, and who later entered the exploration, and under the influence of the Warlock power transformed into the form of body inscriptions, they became more or less a soldier-like unit under Cynthia's control;
Of course, Cynthia is not a warlock herself, but only uses the body inscription to exert the corresponding effect, so she cannot make these abilities show their original strength, but can only achieve overall control of the range in the area covered by the aura;
What can be adjusted is the intensity and range of the aura, and in this way, it can change the area of effect and the intensity of the effect, and can give a command for them to find a way to execute, but cannot directly control an individual in the area, and make fine action control that meets her own expectations.
At this time, as a supplement to the spiritual power hidden under the black fog, these aura puppets with a living state of life took up weapons, either on foot or on their skyboats, exerting a certain degree of subjective initiative to stop the attack, just like a normal army.
