"This concludes today's report." Bismark informed as she look at Rosaline, the duo being in her office as she listened to the latest reconnaissance of her kansens that usually observe the Fog movements or eliminate siren fleets in the inner sea.

They couldn't allow disruption with the remaining sea routes that are used by the shipping industry to carry out what is essentially the only safe waters their cargo ship can cross without being sunk by the Fog fleet or by some siren's Fleets.

The latter being the major problem than the former, the Fogs are at least predictable since they usually stay close to the shroud walls and never leave it, a trait that was noted across other waters.

It wasn't just limited to America as other continents also had seen that the fog did not let its fleet move beyond the Shroud Walls... though sometimes there could be Fog ships that sail beyond their walls.

Though their numbers are few being in one digit and not increasing pass that level as the Fog ships that were noted to be outside the Shroud wall were either reconnaissance ship or fast attack ships.

Meaning the lowest of the lowest ship of the Fog, yet... it's also insulting because despite of the fogs ships seemingly small and seemingly small armed appearance, some naval officers underestimate them.

Which... leads to them launching attacks against such supposedly weak ship with the hope to sink, gain its technology and also gain recognition to be the first to sink a fog ship, but as one would expect.

These rash decision, did not end well for those who executed such orders to their fleet as they ended up knowing, why the Fogs was the unbeatable and dangerous foe that haunted mankind for a century.

Fleets set out hoping to even score a kill would soon realize the nightmare that a single Fog ship could do regardless of its rank, especially when Fog ships are sent beyond the Shroud Walls... for scouting.

Well... the Fleets ended being destroyed, the reconnaissance and fast attack ships that were usually the most common type of ship sent out beyond their walls were a nightmare as many have realize.

Moving at speed that no ship could even match, equip with weapons that seemed small... only to realize that they weren't what they thought them out to be, small Fog ships killing entire fleets in minutes.

Small inch size caliber guns that had the power to cause entire battleships to be punctured in half and swarms of missile leaving warships ten times it's size reduce to rubble or molten slag of metal.

Torpedoes that eviscerated squadrons of ships within a single blast, mortar shells made up of pure neutron star energy crushing everything underneath its own weight before imploding to nothingness.

Once these incidents happened, many in their chain of command were furious and had to reprimand or would outright punished severely regardless of their rank, since ships are precious resources.

To have it all destroyed because of some self belief that they could defeat the fog with their measly weapons were pitiful and downright stupendous knowing the Fogs were far superior to them in every field of technology that mankind wields.

They likely even have a plethora of tech that were far beyond what humanity possesses or understand, Fog technology is incomprehensible due to the cognitive hazard that it causes to those who tried to reverse engineer the Fog's technology.

Why is that? It's because Rosaline saw it happen just days ago when one of her more radical scientist that served under had tried to force his way with Akula's ship... the result did not go well for him.
