"You're saying they've been intercepted around here and wiped out?" General Aurelia, who was speeding to the scene in a guide chariot and asked the adjutant on the side, completely ignored the eager eyes of the carload of people, and said to himself.

"Hmm...... That's true in the report, but you ...... "the adjutant rolled in his belly," can you drive a little slower...... Your driving skills are really ......"

"If it's too late, maybe those traces will be gone...... You'll have to take a look. Aurelia said, "I have a hunch...... I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as imagined. The report didn't provide what I was looking for in sufficient detail, and I couldn't be at ease if I didn't see it for myself. Just ask you to do your best, and we'll be there in a moment. ”

Several people glanced at each other, and each showed a helpless expression - that's it, anyway, the general's temperament is like this, and it's not a day or two.

————————————————————————————————

Soon, Aurelia drove to the location of the incident, which seemed to have happened according to the coordinates provided by the follow-up troops of the later noble army.

When she heard the news, she immediately sensed that there was definitely something wrong with this, which the reconnaissance unit that provided the report was not aware of. The sudden disappearance of an elite patrol armed to the teeth without any movement was enough to attract her attention. Therefore, although the officers on the side of the noble army were very surprised by Aurelia's reaction to this matter, only Brigadier General Vores understood her intentions.

The patrol was equipped with an entire infantry company, plus several mechs, and the latest communications equipment used by the aristocratic army. In the event of an encounter with the patrol soldiers of the 6th and 7th Mecha Divisions, Aurelia is absolutely confident that they will not be completely annihilated. Either find a way to break out of the encirclement, or occupy a favorable terrain to hold on, and then ask the headquarters for help. However, the force suddenly disappeared silently, and by the time Aurelia got the news through the layers of reports, it was already the afternoon of the second day after the incident.

Aurelia didn't even bother to read the report, but only roughly inquired about the possible location of the incident, and immediately called her lieutenant and the two captains of the scouts, and drove here together. Of course, theoretically, this is also the forward position where the regular army and the noble army may fight, and it is not without danger that Aurelia brought such a few people over, but these three people have nothing to say about this matter - after all, General Aurelia is extremely powerful, and the possibility of an accident is not very likely.

"You two, take a closer look at this place." Aurelia pointed to a spot in the jungle, "I've always felt something weird here. ”

The two Scout Captains heard this and began their search. It is worthy of the elite of the aristocratic army, and it is also worthy of the "Golden Rakshasa" with the same precision and intuition as when a beast meets its prey. It was only a few minutes after the two of them began to search before they each found an important clue.

"Your Excellency, there are very strange scratches on the trunk of the tree here...... Or rather, it was as if I had been hit by something. The bark is torn, and there are deep windows...... There is some scorching blackness in the vicinity. "One of them noticed a strange phenomenon in the jungle.

"There are some charred rubber parts on the ground...... In my judgment, it should be an integral part of the base of our portable force communicator. No metal parts were found. The other lifted a small piece of rubber, which had been deformed by the heat, and said in a loud voice.

"I've noticed it a little bit too...... There are several trees in the jungle around here that seem to have this problem. "From where we are, within about twenty centimeters of the surrounding area...... There are more or less signs of this. And ......"

"Also, the density of trees here is much sparser than in the surrounding area. After the start of the civil war, the lumberjacks should have been inactive...... Therefore, this should be considered a relatively empty part of the woodland. If that force were stationed around here, it would have chosen this as a base point for establishing communications...... "Aurelia understood, "and judging by the traces of the surrounding trees, this should be a shock attack that can directly cover a large area...... It seems that this attack directly neutralized the communications troops. Moreover, the other party has a scanning device similar to a sapper demining device, and when cleaning up the traces, it took away all the metal parts that could be found nearby, but it was not cleaned up, and we found the reason...... This is probably where the attack took place. ”

"But...... If the Ministry of Communications is here, then where will the main members of this force, as well as the mechs, be? The adjutant wondered, "And, what could be this weapon that can directly neutralize such a large area of communication formations?" ”

"I'm thinking about that too...... If it's a device like a guide gun, it shouldn't be possible to do it anyway. What's more, since there are no traces of fighting nearby, only a few trees, this means that this may not be the first battlefield, and the main force will hurriedly do something else after putting the communications department here...... If not, then the answer is slightly scary. ”

"That means ......"

"That means that there are people who can be directly here, and at the same time, they can quickly suppress and eliminate all the patrol soldiers while instantly defeating the communications department. We've been fighting the sixth and seventh soldiers for a long time, and they definitely don't have the ability to do that...... His Royal Highness and His Excellency Fandel, as good as they were, could not have done it to this extent. There must be some powerful helper. ”

"That'...... Who could it be? "Formation" seems to be on our side......" the adjutant said uncertainly.

"I don't know...... Maybe they didn't look carefully at the time, and the real battlefield where the battle took place was not here, but somewhere else nearby. Even if the communications department is placed here for special purposes, the main forces should not go far. Aurelia looked up at the horizon—the sun was almost at the end of the horizon, "I'm sorry, I'll have you to stay with me a little longer." ”

As she spoke, Aurelia took out four pairs of night-vision military multi-purpose helmets and said to the three people around her.

"Understood." At this point, the deputies gradually realized the seriousness of the matter and no longer shirked it.

The group's search continues.
