The soft milky white halo is gently refracted on the silvery white wall, and the reflection of the luminous walls makes the whole room full of reassuring light with only a small amount of energy consumption.

Qi Xing, who had just finished showering, was sitting on the edge of the bed wrapped in a large bath towel, elegantly processing his wet hair with another towel.

"Dut...... Honk...... Toot ......"

"Drop~"

Qi Xing's bracelet on the bedside table was automatically connected after prompting a communication request for more than ten seconds, and Qi Xing frowned

"Your Excellency, it is not a good habit to disturb others enjoying their private time"

The only one who can forcibly connect his communications is the consul who controls the entire ship

"I'm sorry, but there's something I have to tell you. Your Excellency the Defense Officer, Horus has disappeared from our battle sequence! ”

Hearing such shocking news, Qi Xing stopped what he was doing

"Gone?"

"Yes, gone! Horus has a complete recovery device on it, and even if it has an irreversible failure, it will send us its own signal every once in a while to facilitate our location and refresh the time of the system. And his disappearance from the battle sequence means that Horus has not sent any signal back for more than 12 hours."

"This represents two possibilities: first, our driver has defected and dismantled the positioning signal"

"It's not funny at all, I'll choose second"

Qi Xing was a little angry, was the archon accusing her of not being strict with her when he said this? Not to mention whether the Archon has a position to accuse her (the Archon has no power to propose, only to decide), and she doesn't think that the members of the team she have carefully trained will betray her, even though it is not the original Guardian who pilots Horus, but a human descendant of the Outer World.

"Second, Horus has been completely destroyed! I suggest you ask the humans, as Anubis and Sobek are also in the hinterland of the biters! If you lose three Custom Mechs at once, you should understand how much damage it will do to the entire defense force. ”

At this time, Qi Xing couldn't sit still, pulled the bath towel and quickly put on his combat uniform, and hurriedly walked out of his room......

In the Antarctic command center that humans have built on the surface of the earth, everyone is already in a mess

"According to the plan, the general offensive will begin tomorrow, should we inform all the troops to prepare for the attack?"

"No! Not to mention that Lieutenant General Chang, as the commander-in-chief, did not come back, before the communication was cut off, Lieutenant General Chang sent a warning message, telling us that the Zerg had set a trap and was waiting for us to be fooled, and I was against a hasty attack before the situation was completely clear! ”

"Then we can't just sit here and wait, shouldn't we send someone to pick them up?"

"We don't even know where they are now, how can we pick them up?"

……

The generals expressed their opinions, making the entire command center lively like a vegetable market. After a long heated discussion, they failed to persuade each other to agree on their opinions and come up with a practical plan, and time was wasted meaninglessly.

"Bang~"

The door of the command center was pushed open from the outside, and a cold wind mixed with snowflakes poured in. Everyone in the room shuddered at the same time.

Qi Xing, who had a thin layer of snowflakes piled up on his body at the door, stared at James who was sitting on the side with a grim face

"Tell me, why are Anubis and Sobek in the Zerg hinterland?"

Since the communication was disrupted, James had expected that Qi Xing would definitely come to him to ask him for the guilt, after all, it was three special custom machines that were now lost in the enemy formation, not some mass production models that could be replenished at any time.

James smiled bitterly and explained the cause and effect of the incident in detail, and Qi Xing's face became a little softer

"Looks like this commander still has some brains. But, James, those three custom planes all belong to the defense of the Styx, and you have no right to send them out on a mission without my consent, you have already broken the rules! Do you know? Horus is destroyed! ”

James' hand shook and knocked over the teacup in front of him

"Little Fu, he's dead?"

"I should have died in battle"

Qi Xing sat down at the conference table, his eyes staring at the tactical map, and his fingers tapping regularly on the table

"The trap of the swarm? Communications were tactically cut off, and Horus was killed...... I understand! ”

Qi Xing stood up and was about to walk outside

"I used to wonder how the swarm was still the same for more than 100 years, and it was still the idea of fighting that holy seed! Then it makes sense that they are fighting a war of attrition with us every time they are in the range of battleship support, it turns out that they have been studying our defenses and looking for weak points in the firepower of battleships. Okay Jeffes, this time I have found out the reality of the swarm, and I won't care about the task of sending out privately, but there will be no next time! ”

"Wait, Your Excellency the Officer! Why don't you stay and discuss with them the plan for the rescue? ”

James saw that Qi Xing was leaving, and stood up anxiously and shouted to stay

"And them?"

Qi Xing swept over the people in the command center with contempt

"Forget it, the swarm is far more powerful than you know! At least I don't see any hope for now, and I won't send my team members to death easily! ”

"Bang!"

The door to the command center was slammed shut again, and the remaining few people looked at each other

"What to do? Even they are not optimistic about this operation......"

A staff officer of a major general asked questions.

Originally, he was a member of the group who advocated acting according to the plan, but after Qi Xing's tossing like this, his heart was bottomless. You must know how strong the Styx escort is, but they have seen it not long ago, and the alliance's mechs are not half a star different from them. However, their commander was not optimistic about this operation at all, and if only his own people launched a general attack, it would undoubtedly be a snack for the swarm.

"It's better to report to the top of the alliance, they shouldn't want to fight a war of attrition with huge losses. You've heard the captain's words, and if he hadn't exaggerated, he might have to gather the strength of the entire alliance to win this war, and that's not something we can decide. ”

Another middle-aged man as a deputy commander-in-chief made a conclusion.

If one wrong order continues, thousands of outstanding soldiers will die, and this kind of thing must be done with caution.

"And what about Lieutenant General Chang? What should Lieutenant General Chang do with him? He went behind enemy lines to find out valuable information for us, should we just abandon him? ”

Among so many people, only Lieutenant General Chang Shengshi saw the cattiness of the Zerg, and his battlefield intuition was first-class. It's a pity that such an excellent general is going to die young!

The deputy commander-in-chief sighed

"Lieutenant General Chang was ready to sacrifice for the alliance before he set off. Now he has completed his mission and saved thousands of comrades-in-arms. I don't think even if there is any accident, Old Man Chang will not blame us......"

In fact, he also knew very well in his heart that when he encountered this situation, the alliance would most likely want to give up this promising lieutenant general, just like when he gave up the entire commando team.

Let us pray from the bottom of our hearts for him, hoping that a miracle will happen and that this hero will return safely......
