Char, orbital defense platform.

“…… Shortly after the building was reduced to rubble, we received orders from above. The evacuation went well, and the bugs were probably busy searching the rubble, so we safely evacuated to the evacuation point and boarded the waiting transport plane. The Ranger veteran lying in his hospital bed finally wrapped up his story, "The mission was accomplished, everyone was happy, the employer ensured that the data was destroyed, and we were paid what we needed." ”

"What about the casualties? Do you have any statistics? Lal asked with some concern.

"I don't have the skills to go to the captain and ask for data, Imperial brat." The Ranger scoffed, "But there must have been quite a few people buried in that damn ruin, and my company had thirty brothers who had fallen there, and the rest of the companies should have suffered more or less casualties, and it is said that the special engineers in charge of the demolition were slaughtered several by the bugs in the ambush in the building." ”

"Tsk, it's a shame I didn't go with you then-"

"You're lucky you didn't have that kind of thing, Keha boy." The veteran glared at Miles, "Do you really think that city battles are the same thing as fighting on the ground right now?" I've seen a dozen fools like you die in the city with no teeth—"

"Alright, old fellow, everyone knows you're experienced." Ral quickly interrupted the veteran's tirade, "Miles' interests may not be what you think. He...... He is only interested in sample collection in urban environments. ”

"That can't be—"

"Ral!" The door of the ward was pushed open forcefully, and Douglas's voice interrupted the veteran's words again, "The command is looking for us, and the independent officers above the platoon level are going to go, you pack up and come over quickly." Urgent gathering! ”

Outside the newly built command center on the orbital defense platform, several officers of the 17th Separate Company arrived from various parts of the platform in a matter of minutes. They were originally on the platform for rotation, and they fought continuously and intensively on the surface for three hours, and after suffering heavy casualties, they were replaced, and returned to the platform to rest, only to be urgently called up again before they could rest for long. Lal came to the ward to listen to the veteran's story, the platoon leader of platoon A, Nelson, had just been pulled out of bed, the platoon commander of platoon C had been killed by bugs on the surface, and the deputy platoon commander was being online with the rest of the platoon when he was called, and was reluctantly interrupted by the good time.

After entering the command center, they were guided outside the command room, and the sound of the quarrel in the command room could be faintly heard just by walking outside the door. Douglas, the company commander who took the lead, glanced at the Marine guarding the door to the command room, and the Marine shrugged at him, then turned and rang the doorbell in the command room. Soon, Yang Yi's voice that seemed to be slightly hurried came from the loudspeaker.

"Who?"

"Commander, the person you want to see has arrived."

“…… I know. Let them in. ”

As the security door opened, several officers walked into the command room. There was no one else in the command room except Yang Yi, Yang Yi stood next to the tactical sand table in the middle, and the other side of the command room was facing the sand table, which seemed to be a communication screen, and several of Yang Yi's ship girls seemed to be in the channel, probably they were arguing with Yang Yi.

"Find a place to sit first." Yang Yi waved his hand, signaling them to be casual.

"The 17th Separate Company? Commander, are you going to take only one company with you on this mission?! A1 could see Douglas's company at a glance, "The main nest area of the insect is full of dangers, a company-"

"One company is enough, but if you bring too many people, the target is too big, and it is easy to expose the target. The purpose of this mission is to save people, not to slaughter Kerrigan, as long as you bring enough men-"

"But one company is not enough at all!" Several ship ladies interrupted him in unison, and then began to eagerly begin to dissuade Yang Yi.

"The number of insects in the main nest area is conservatively estimated to be more than one billion, and one company is simply not enough to complete this task!"

"Even if you have level 10 psionic energy, you don't have the same physical fitness and combat skills as us, which is simply not enough to support your safe activities in the main hive area of the insect!"

"You should think twice about it, even if it's for the sake of the fleet, we can-"

"Enough!" Probably tired of such seemingly endless quarrels, Yang Yi suddenly roared angrily, startling several officers who had just found a place to sit next to him, "Is there enough noise?!" Are you commanders or am I commanders?! ”

"In the main nest area, the people who had me are missing! Isn't that enough?! They're my captains, they're my people! In terms of the overall situation, they are responsible for controlling the ships, and they also have strong combat effectiveness, and they are the backbone of Char's battle; Personally, they are my men, my men, my people have disappeared on the surface, am I not responsible for finding them?! ”

"You're going? Are you going to do it?! The space battlefield is gone, is it?! What if you went one second and lost your orbit the next?! I'm the only one in the entire fleet command right now, who will go if I don't go?! What if you go and the network goes down?! Will the gourd babies save their grandfathers one by one?! ”

"That's it! This is a coercive order from above, there is no room for manoeuvre, and just like that, the meeting is adjourned. After that, he didn't wait for a few shipwives to say anything, he directly turned off the communication channel.

After a long silence on the tactical sandbox, he recovered from his excitement, and when he looked up and saw several officers who were visibly restless, he remembered what he had called them for. He rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile: "Let you see the joke, come on, come here, I have a task to ask you to summon you urgently." ”

Several officers looked at each other, but they still got up honestly and gathered around the sand table.

What Yang Yi quarreled with several ship mothers was the rescue plan for his two star spirit ship mothers. He can't sit idly by and watch the disappearance of the two shipgirls, he must think of ways to rescue his two shipgirls, at least establish contact with them. He assumed that the command network used to communicate with the ship's mother was blocked by some kind of shielding device, just like the radio signal, then this shielding device should have a range, otherwise the connection between himself and the wind seeker should also be blocked.

He knew he didn't have the skills to solve a problem that even Talis and Santila couldn't solve. The reasons he brought this company with him, in addition to protecting himself, included carrying the Kaedalin Crystal. He would give each person a crystal large enough to hold up a small field of energy, which was inspired by the crystal from Miles before. As soon as he finds Shantila or Talis and they are in danger, he activates the crystal directly, and an entire Astral Force is on standby near the teleportation area.

As for why not use the Star Spirit Troops...... Because Dalam's psionic abilities are too striking on Char to be used for infiltration missions, they still have to rely on traditional human infantry units.

It would be easier to retreat, those energy fields were the best way to retreat, as long as the ship's mother was rescued, they would immediately jump back to the ship to escape. I have to say that Xingling's folding technology is really easy to use.
