The next morning, without any accidents, the fleet led by the Fifth and Eighth Divisions slowly set off under the eyes of Dongfang Canglong, and this was the first time that Ji Yuehua really came to the sea.

The bright sun is shining from the sky, standing on the deck, the sea breeze is blowing in your face, I have to say, it is a very comfortable environment, which makes people want to be lazy from the bones.

The radar for searching for the enemy is automatic, and the work of piloting the ship is also carried out by specialized crews.

Since the technology of the Technology Development Bureau is not yet powerful enough to explore unknown areas out of thin air, Ji Yuehua, the nominal advisor, actually has nothing to do until the island is discovered.

In addition to talking to Tachibana Yukino, he fought with Kong Ciren in the training ground, and then he was beaten hard. Only at night, Ji Yuehua would go to different ships, roughly check whether the equipment on the ship was working properly, and input the sailing route and overview recorded by the staff into the "Divine Metaphor System" through the remote operation processor she carried.

In this way, the boring sailing life lasted for about twenty days.

Finally, on the twenty-third day of the voyage, in the foggy early morning, Ji Yuehua and the others saw a hazy huge shadow on the sea level. As the ship approached cautiously, the shadows became clearer, and in just a few minutes, it was already confirmed that it was the unknown island they had been looking for for a long time.

Although it was unknown whether there was a "mythical crystal" hidden on the island, the crowd cheered happily.

It's always better to find something than to sail aimlessly! Isn't that so?

"Idiots, don't get so excited!"

Of course, Kong Ciren was not naïve enough to order everyone to rush to the island to explore.

The first discovery of the island. In other words, everything is unknown. In addition to the terrain and resources, this unknown also includes whether there are enemies on the island, and how many enemies there are.

In the end, the number of men in the flotilla had been reduced to half because of the hasty departure, and they were only the advance troops.

The total number of personnel is about 200 people. The Fifth and Eighth Divisions together had only 60 to 70 combatants, a number that was not necessarily even a third of the total.

The number of combatants is already insufficient, and given the need to leave enough men to protect ships and non-combatants, and even fewer who can be dispatched, it would be as if they were to be sent to their deaths in uncharted territory.

For safety, Kong Ciren immediately asked Ji Yuehua, "Adjutant Yuehua, can you detect any traces of enemies on the island?"

"It's a pity. The enemy's radar is locked on the ship's body, and it is impossible for the radar to advance half a minute when the ship is docked here, and in terms of the coverage area of the radar, it is completely impossible to find out the whole picture of the island without going ashore. Moreover, although the radar is not blocked by obstacles such as trees and rock walls, it will be disturbed by the energy emitted by the "Divine Crystal", and I don't know if it is good news. From the very beginning, I have been trying to use radar to explore the situation near the shore. The result was that there was no reaction, Senior Kong Ciren, do you know what I mean?"

"You're saying that this island may contain a "mythical crystal"?"

did not answer Kong Ciren's question positively. Ji Yuehua just nodded.

It was not long before I left the house that I found my goal, and in a way, it was a good thing. However, on the other hand, it also means that Kong has to make a choice here.

False positives will not be tolerated unless you are in danger. Otherwise, they would never have been able to ask the commander-in-chief for reinforcements until they had confirmed the existence of the "Divine Crystal" with their own eyes, which meant that "sending a small number of people to explore the environment on the island" was unavoidable.

Although he had thought about this question before leaving, when he actually encountered it, Kong Ciren couldn't help but fall into silence.

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Fifth Division. Please allow me to make my own comments. ”

"Master Kenneth, it's okay for you to say it."

"Since there are not many people who can be dispatched, but the problem of manpower cannot be solved, then only a small number of elites can be selected to be responsible for this operation, isn't that the case?"

"What do you mean?"

"My adjutant Lewis, Adjutant Tachibana, plus Adjutant Kohime, with these three people at the head, and then elect some capable people to accompany them, that's all it can be."

“!!!!!!”

was touched by Kenneth's proposal, however, after thinking about it, the other party's proposal was really reasonable, and Kong Ciren had to suppress the urge in his heart to veto it immediately.

The area under the real control of the military department, except for the Republic of Sounivia itself, is only a small number of islands off the coast, and the rest of the places are "controlled by the Calamity Beast".

The exploratory operation is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.

However, as the division commander and the commander of the trip, it was naturally impossible for him and Kenneth to leave the ship rashly.

Ji Yuehua is the equivalent of a consultant, another matter, and Ji Yuehua himself also has a certain degree of strength, through the test in the past few days, Kong Ciren estimated that the strength of this former boss's disciple should be about the level of being able to kill the B-Rank "Calamity Beast" alone.

After excluding himself and Kenneth, the strongest person on the ship is their lieutenant, no matter what, Tachibana Yukino can't escape this appointment.

"Divisional commander, please give the order."

As if sensing Kong Ciren's inner struggle, Tachibana Yukino took a step forward and said, "The commander of the Eighth Division is reasonable, please let me and Adjutant Lewis be the candidates for exploration." ”

"Hmm"

was asked by Tachibana Yukino himself, and the hesitation on Kong Ciren's face was even more obvious.

"Can you listen to me?"

Just when everyone was waiting for Kong Ciren's answer, Ji Yuehua on the side asked weakly. Then, everyone's eyes instantly changed to focus on him.

"Actually, in order to prevent the dispatch of personnel to explore the unknown island, Sister Yonglin prepared a bracelet for me that can erase the breath and reflect the light"

"Wow! He really deserves to be the head of the Eight Meanings! Yuehuajun, you are too unkind, why didn't you say it earlier? I've hesitated for so long. ”

Hearing the news, Kong Ciren breathed a sigh of relief, and almost wanted to hug Ji Yuehua and kiss him.

"But the effective distance of that bracelet is only about fifty to seventy centimeters in radius, including me."

Then, after a second, there was a petrified silence. After a long time, Kong Ciren finally squeezed out a sentence.

"Why don't you increase the effective distance a little more?"

"Please don't ask me, I also received a message from Sister Yonglin after I came to the ship, and when I opened the inventory, I found out that this thing exists"
