Shut up, young man! Used well by monsters!
Just when Ajid was about to scold the branch leader who had lost his composure, a different alarm sounded on the bridge.
This is an alarm indicating the presence of a familiar intruder.
"Your reaction! The number...there are twenty in the area????︎"
There were so many reactions at the same time that Aki was speechless for a moment.
"Wait a minute! Isn't there a mistake in those twenty bodies?︎"
"No! There are 20 medium-sized reactions! They keep appearing from each reaction...now there are 70! Still increasing!"
It reaches 70 in a few seconds, and if it is still increasing now, it will definitely exceed 100.
The scale may exceed what happened on the seventh artificial island.
Because the reaction positions are all concentrated on the battlefield where we just fought, it is fortunate that it is far away from the "fog" road leading to the base.
"Is someone calling me?︎"
A livid Misty mentioned the possibility.
Indeed, judging from the unusual scale and timing, it is possible that someone deliberately created it.
"...I think the possibility is very low."
It was neither Xion nor Anna, it was Gao Yang who denied Misty's prediction.
"Why do you protect others?"
"But, you attack the light beam very hard..."
After listening to Gao Yang's words, he used the monitor to check the area around the light pillar and found that many people gathered there to attack.
Compared to the human army, the invaders must have focused more on the light pillar.
Judging from this scene, the possibility of Gray 1 taking Anion and others is indeed very low.
"Captain! Don't worry about things in this area. Please rush to the base! If this area becomes like this, the base and the city will be in a very bad situation!"
Xion yelled at the panicked Aki and others. She was alone to calm down, realizing that Theon might have anticipated this situation on some level.
Xiaojing was about to ask what happened, but was interrupted by a scream through the communication line.
Yes, the reaction to the appearance of the intruder inside the ship! Most of the small and medium-sized intruders are inside the ship!
Reports that make people doubt their own ears occurred on the bridge of "Gladys".
The other side seemed to have forgotten that there was still communication, and only reported to this side that the branch chief and the crew on the bridge were busy dealing with the intruders and others who invaded the ship.
"Medium-sized dark ghosts have invaded the agency! This cannot continue!"
Just after this sad report, "Gladius" exploded internally and scattered instantly.
"...'Gladius', lose the signal. The agency was probably destroyed by intruders, from the inside..."
Whether it is a battleship or a mobile armor, once the organs are seriously damaged, they will not be immune to blows.
If it crashed due to an internal explosion during the voyage, the survival of the crew would be desperate.
"...Hey, wait. If there is a foul inside the ship, there is nothing we can do.︎"
Just like Lambda said, if the same situation as the "Gradius" occurs, the "Mist" will certainly be a dangerous battleship.
In that case, Xiaojing and the others would also be dead.
"no problem."
"You said it's okay, what's the guarantee?"
"Leaving aside other warships, the 'Mist' will never happen."
"You mean... you have already taken countermeasures?"
Faced with Ajid's question, Xion nodded silently.
"I won't let this ship fall before my eyes are black. ... Compared to this, we should hurry up seriously. There is more luck than I thought."
"……In the end what happened?"
When the question was finally raised, Xion's expression turned serious.
"What we are taking action this time is the existence of the land god in the barrier that prevents dark ghosts from approaching this area. Therefore, the barrier is limited to a small area, and the dark ghosts flow in here."
Theon's explanation proved that Ajid's prediction was true. I'm afraid that light pillar is the concentrated barrier.
However, this is also different from the sub-epoch prediction.
"Gray 1 - I heard that the target this time appeared three years ago. Before that, there were very few dark clouds in this area. If the barrier just disappears, the number of them shouldn't increase, right?"
"...What would happen if the captain was unusual and starved without eating, and had a feast enclosed in a hard glass case in front of him?"
Although this metaphor is too abrupt, it should have some meaning in this situation.
Think for a moment and give your answer.
"...Anyway, since it's blocked by the glass cabinet and I can't take it out, what can I do?"
"What should I do if the glass cabinet suddenly disappears?"
"……So this is ah!"
In Xiaojing's mind, the status quo and the metaphor are connected.
Hungry Aki is the benefactor of darkness, the barrier is the glass cabinet, and the food is the creatures including the humans living there.
Intruders are beings that devour the souls of living beings.
If they suddenly take action against something they didn't dare to take action before, it wouldn't be surprising if they gather together.
It would be even more obvious if it was Anixiong who were wilder than humans.
"The invaders who appeared in this area basically targeted Gray 1, which has stronger magic power in its soul. Although it caused some losses to the human army, they should not pursue it."
After the fall of "Gradius", the remaining battleships targeted the base like the "Mistoltain".
Just like Theon said, the invaders didn't seem to be catching up.
"The situation this time is that the base within the barrier and the surrounding cities are the worst. 'Mist' seems to have no problem... I will also go with 'Asahi' first."
After Xion finished speaking, without waiting for Ajid to reply, he disappeared into the magic circle just as he appeared.
After only a few dozen seconds, "Misterdin" flew past.
Watching her off, Akira held his head gently.
(This is just self-inflicted)
They had no idea how protected they were, and instead threatened the lives of the guards.
Akit, in particular, should be in a position that is close to reality in a way.
Even so, I couldn't stop anyway, so I gave up thinking.
The result is now.
This is not caused by Gray 1.
It was no one else but the disaster caused by Xiaojing and others.
The Gray 1 crusade failed. The resulting widespread dark cloud mass occurred four hours later.
The human military base facing Suruga Bay finally regained peace.
Not only was the first wave that initially surrounded the surroundings, but a fourth wave also appeared later, and the battle with the invaders and others ended just an hour ago.
Since then, he has been vigilant until he just judged that a similar situation would not happen again.
While the battle that was finally over made people feel relieved, the air floating in the base was also heavy. The same goes for Ajid and the rest of the Mist crew.
The estimated death toll in this battle was 20,000... There are also an equal number of seriously injured people, but most of them are not soldiers but civilians.
This area was not accustomed to the presence of invaders, and this was especially true since more than half of the combat power was allocated to the Gray 1 crusade.
When I think about the many lives that were not protected, I cannot be happy that this is over.
"…………"
"...Aki, what did the senior management say?"
Argento returned to the bridge of "Mistolstan" from the command room of the base. Anna greeted him and asked lightly.
Aki also replied calmly.
"...There were too many unexpected things this time. They did a good job under the harsh conditions where the branch chief passed away and the chain of command was chaotic."
Judging from the results, "Mistolstan" stood at the forefront of the crusade against the invaders, so Ajit reported the whole story to his superiors on behalf of the deceased branch chief, and his superiors' reaction was sympathetic.
Considering the sacrifices made, it is not surprising to be held accountable and punished accordingly.
Despite this, instead of being punished, she was tortured. This result made Xiaojing's guilt continue to grow.
"...We have done the best we can and there is nothing we can do beyond that."
"I know, but..."
He didn't know that it would be so painful to feel guilty but not be condemned by anyone.
There are no words like what she said to the silent Xiaojing.
