The so-called C7 Zone is not a district defined by Polar Industrial City itself, but rather a part of the combat areas designated by the Alliance Staff Departnt when formulating operational plans, based on the maps of Polar Industrial City procured by the nuns in early stages, in line with their own combat habits.
In terms of the industrial city itself, this should be the location of a raw material storage area of Polar Industries.
anwhile, this C7 Zone was also an area of focus during the preliminary investigations conducted by the nuns of the Holy rcy Lily.
According to the intelligence obtained earlier, there might be a secret underground space beneath this area.
The nuns are fairly confident that this is the headquarters of the Primordial Wrath Owl Sect.
These cultists played a trick by concealing their headquarters right underneath the storage center of Polar Industries.
Clearly, they had deeply infiltrated Polar Industries. This space had remained hidden for so long that even Pierre, the CEO of the group, was unaware of its existence.
The nuns managed to uncover this information through the high-ranking mbers of the Primordial Wrath Owl Sect they had captured on nurous occasions at the periphery.
Even so, there were still many areas of doubt, and it was not entirely certain that it was this C7 Zone.
However, in the current surprise attack on Polar Industrial City, the resistance in C7 Zone is particularly staunch.
This determination remained unchanged even after Pierre, as the CEO, had given orders.
That was very strange indeed.
After gradually overcoming the resistance in other areas, Georgette's thirty Battle Nuns split off to briefly investigate the four areas they had also suspected to be the underground headquarters of the Primordial Wrath Owl Sect, but they made no particular discoveries.
Indeed, there were traces of cultist activity in those places and quite a few live captives were taken.
However, in terms of size, these places absolutely didn't fit the bill for a 'headquarters' and were probably just a few areas set up to create confusion, in addition to serving as so connection points.
To be honest, their ability to hide was very strong, so much so that even after almost a year of investigation, the Battle Nuns could only identify five suspect areas and dared not confirm any one location as the true one.
However... what's the use of hiding so well?
All the Primordial Wrath Owl Sect's thods of concealing themselves probably never anticipated a day when the table would be flipped over.
Who has the ti to investigate which of those five possible areas is real and which is false? Breaking one might be feared to cause the others to scatter like startled snakes.
Simply take down the entire Polar Industrial City, and take it swiftly before anyone can react. Block the paths of leaving the city to relocate bases, then have the regular military attack all five areas at the sa ti.
Caught off guard and unable to run, nor wanting to be decimated in one fell swoop, the cultists, who had always been very secretive, finally could not hide at all.
C7 Zone, as the headquarters, has been exposed.
They even destroyed their own chances, with so cultists possessing special abilities openly donning blue robes, using rudintary but sufficiently effective Storm Sorcery to hold off the assaults of the Alliance soldiers.
If it weren't for those in blue robes, the 31st Airborne Division wouldn't have been so helpless against this place and wouldn't have left behind more than two hundred corpses, which infuriated Colonel Derek and made him even consider taking this place down himself.
Of course, Tadeusz, as the overall commander, persuaded him otherwise.
The 31st Airborne Division could possibly handle it, but even with air force assistance, the complex indoor environnt underground still required soldiers to explore.
When facing cultists with sorcery abilities, there was no need to waste the lives of soldiers unnecessarily.
Now, within Polar Industrial City, there were teams more specialized to deal with this kind of situation.
At this mont, at the blockade line of C7 Zone, four teams had gathered.
Only one belonged to the Alliance forces: the special forces elite of the 10th Brigade.
This ti they brought over five hundred n.
That's almost half of the entire 10th Brigade.
The other half was incorporated into the Expeditionary Force, which by now has probably already reached Heijian Star.
As for the remaining three squads, strictly speaking, none of them belonged to the Alliance forces.
There's no need to ntion the Battle Nuns; they can't even be considered part of the Alliance.
Twelve Phoenix Interstellar Warriors arrived.
Apart from four century-old veterans who had gone through the Rite of Atonent, there were eight others, all new blood of the battle group.
At present, there were actually more than thirty Phoenix Newbloods in total. However, these new bloods were all discovered and grood by the governor successively over ti. The later batches were not yet 'mature,' with their superhuman organs still growing inside of them. Enjoy more content from empire
Even for the first three batches, totaling twelve individuals, half a year had passed since they were implanted with the gene seeds, but only eight had completed the growth of all their superhuman organs.
Especially the 'black carapace,' which is usually the last of the nineteen superhuman organs to develop. The black carapace generates nerve bundles inward, connecting to the brain and many different organs; outward, it forms nurous insertion points on the surface of the body, which can connect to the power armor.
This is also why the interstellar warriors' power armors are referred to as their second skin. In a sense, the power armor really does grow together with the interstellar warrior.
They control the power armor as if it were a part of their own limbs. And without the assistance of the black carapace, the power armor of an interstellar warrior is almost entirely useless.
