A month passed quickly, and the day was approaching when the patrol team would set off again.

Welling received a new rookie message from Master Yujin.

Wu Xian, forty-three years old, originally served in the militia regiment during the reserve, his performance was mediocre, he was not selected into the Western Wilderness Army, returned to the third floor, worked as a mechanic in an ordnance factory, got married and had children.

Now I reapplied to return to the militia regiment to take care of my son, Yun Zhou, who was serving as a regular soldier.

Yun Zhou, 18 years old, joined the militia as a trainee member for the first time.

As soon as Wan Tong heard that Yun Zhou had joined the team, he was happy:

"Cloud axis, I've known him since I was a child, a little younger than me, that kid is stupid."

"Haha, stupid, you don't necessarily have to be smart."

After staying together for so long, they have become very familiar with each other, and now Welling occasionally jokes with Wan Tong.

"Hehe, I'm definitely not as smart as Brother Welling, but, that guy from Yunxi, it's really different from me, I'm just a little sloppy and impatient......"

Wan Tong was a little sneering.

"Then you have to take care of the cloud axis more in the future."

Welling has a big head, and he is a rookie, Wan Tong is not necessarily very sophisticated, and he also has a "stupid and stupid" cloud axis, this time the pressure is a bit big.

……

Not surprisingly, the day before leaving, Wu Wu took the cloud axis to Ginkgo Street to visit Welling.

"The members of the Fifth Patrol Squad of the 13th Regiment of the Iasi County Militia are safe (Cloud Axis) report to Captain Welling!"

"Haha, you're welcome, the two of you are teammates who will face the task and life and death together in the future...... Come in! ”

Welling ushered the two into the living room.

Wuxian's face is a little older than his actual age, and his sideburns even have a few traces of gray hair, but he walks and sits relatively indifferently.

The cloud axis is just as Wan Tong said, with thick lips and round face, more wooden and silent, and he looks at the troublefree behavior of advancing and retreating.

Welling remained silent, but he kept suppressing the idea that he was using magic to find out if this unlucky child was really stupid.

Now, Welling and the children's homes naturally have tea, drinks, and pastries to serve guests.

Nanxing, Shang Lu, and Jinu, the three little children, quickly spread tea on the somewhat cramped Wuwu and Yunzhou, and hid to the side to peep and watch their eldest brother receive guests.

Accidentally Yun Zhou and Ji Nu looked at each other, Yun Zhou hurriedly turned his gaze away, and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

When he wiped his sweat, he revealed a small shiny black stone bead in his hand.

It seems that Yun Zhou has been playing with this small stone in his hand to share attention and relieve pressure.

Welling couldn't help but laugh dumbly:

"Brother Wuwu, oh, no, I'll call you uncle...... You have served in the militia regiment before, and you must have the corresponding military qualities, and I am not worried at all...... But I myself, I can say that I am really a rookie, and I will ask my uncle for advice in the future. ”

"Hehe, the captain is too modest, and if he can be appointed as the captain after only one mission, he must have something extraordinary...... I myself belong to the kind of person with mediocre qualifications, and I can't rest assured that my son Yunzhou is selfish, so I am selfish and cheeky to join, if there is anything inappropriate in the future, please take care of it! ”

Welling nodded with a smile, and then dropped the packet to the cloud axis:

"Yun Axis, you know Wan Tong, he said that he is quite familiar with you, this is better, only people who are familiar with each other, and then if there is a change in the task, there will be more tacit understanding."

Yun Axis didn't reply to the message, and Mu Ne nodded.

"By the way, Uncle Wuxian, Yun Axis, what are you good at, I need to get to know each other in advance."

Welling's question seemed to make Wuxian a little embarrassed:

"Captain Welling, I'm a person, I don't like to be a sergeant, and I don't like to fight wars and other things, and I didn't enter the regiment after the militia regiment served that year.

If you want to talk about ability, it is more balanced, but it is not outstanding.

Yun Axis, tell the captain about your situation. ”

Cloud axis scratches its head, muffled packet loss:

"Captain, my dad told him about his situation, and I'm pretty much the same.

I used to like control, but after testing, my theoretical knowledge and judgment can only be average, so I am not suitable for controlling large armed equipment.

The physical fitness is okay, but the nerve reaction speed is also very ordinary, and it is not good to engage in fighting as an armed fighter.

The sniper talent is also mediocre, the observation ability is relatively weak, and the ability to analyze environmental information is poor.

In terms of theatrical performances, the evaluation results are dull, and there is no specialty.

My biggest specialty is that I can sit in one place in a daze, think about everything, and never leave all day.

I told Wan Tong that there were ghosts in the depths of the earth, many, many, but he didn't believe it, hehe.

Anyway, I don't know what I like or what I can do.

Anyway, what do you say, captain, I'll do it......"

Before Welling could be surprised, Wuwu had already slapped him on the thigh.

Welling couldn't laugh or cry, this is what Wan Tong said about the stupid cloud axis.

It's not stupid, but as he said, he's just the most ordinary, healthy big kid.

In fact, there is no need for such a person to join the reserves, so he can only stay in the rear honestly and peacefully, and do the ordinary work of ordinary people for the rest of his life.

However, due to the laws of the Empire, all young men were required to serve in the reserves, and the child had to go through the militia regiment, and the fear of no trouble was understandable.

"The two of you don't have to worry too much, the militia group is just carrying out some basic patrol and reconnaissance tasks, learning some basic military knowledge, and it is difficult to encounter particularly dangerous things.

Uncle Wu should have experience...... You are all ready, apply for the right exoskeleton armament, and wait for departure at the west gate of the county town at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning! ”

The two bowed their heads and then took their leave.

"Big brother, the abilities of these two people feel unreliable, you have to pay attention to safety."

Nanxing threw the message in a sullen manner.

……

Welling thought twice and still didn't apply for an armed exoskeleton.

After all, he is a warlock-type combatant, and having an armed exoskeleton may not increase his combat effectiveness, but may affect his agility, and it will be a mistake when encountering enemies of the same kind.

As for the communication, farsightedness, scanning, detection, and long-range sniping capabilities that the armed exoskeleton can provide, anyway, Shougong, Wantong and others in their team can do it, and they can share data at the right time when the time comes.

The next day, Welling arrived near the Chengmen Cave at the scheduled time, and met Wantong, Wuwu, Yunxi, and Shougong who were standing there in full gear.

Knowing the past of Shougong and facing this platform again, Welling's mood was a little complicated, but he didn't show anything unusual:

"Guarding the palace, are the supplies ready according to the predetermined plan?"

The eight legs of the palace guard sank down slightly, as if to give Welling a salute:

"Captain Welling, everything is in order...... Thank you Captain for the gift! ”

"It's okay, let's go."

Welling was the first to walk out of the city gates, followed by several people.

In March, the spring is strong, and the whole plain area is full of plants and trees, exuding a strong fragrance of flowers and plants.

The mountains in the distance also seem to become more dense.

Welling's patrol path is almost identical to the way it was last time, but slightly offset.

Now at the forefront was Wan Tong, a tall armed man with a slight hissing sound, walking very cheerfully.

Now clearing those tall trees that randomly appear in the field of vision, is free from trouble and cloud axis.

Three tall "Bobcat Type IV" arms, in the shape of a pinzig, inadvertently protected Welling in the middle, and the palace guard was still the queen of the palace.

The group slowly marched towards the distant mountains, casually throwing bags and communicating, which felt comfortable.

A few days later, both Wuwu and Cloud Axis seemed to have eliminated their strangeness with Welling, and at the same time, they were more familiar with the patrol detection process, and the whole team became much more tacit.

Entering the mountains, Wei Ling and Wan Tong also took the time to pick a lot of mountain spring tea, which was carried by the palace.

When camping at night, the spring tea is roasted over a charcoal fire, kneaded repeatedly, and then sealed and preserved.

Before I knew it, I had collected and made several large bags.

Welling has not dared to relax in the slightest, but fortunately he has not encountered a situation, which is the most desired result.

It wasn't until they went deep into the mountains, close to the edge of the information barrier support, that Welling's brows furrowed.

According to the information received, a patrol team found that not far from the periphery of the boundary of the enchantment, there were images of a large number of hunters in the Western Xuan Wilderness, but the other party did not infiltrate for the time being.

Notably, there seems to be more Xixuan Sergeants among these Revenants, as well as a small smart weapon that has not been encountered before.

This small intelligent weapon, which looks like a mechanical locust, is about three meters in length, and travels by bouncing in anti-joints, its bounce ability is amazing, and its combat effectiveness and lethality are unknown.

Judging from the intelligence images, the number of this mechanical locust is quite large, mixed among those strange-shaped wilderness hunters, and they move quickly and suddenly.

The current intelligence interpretation is that the actions of the Xixuan Federation are different from usual, and the county is worried that Xixuan may resume the war.

The enchantment system warns each outgoing squad to pay attention to detection, and once an enemy squad infiltrates is found, it is immediately reported to call for support, and it is not recommended to rashly try to annihilate it.

Welling analyzed the various details of the mechanical locust from the footage and predicted how it would fight, feeling a little uneasy.

He always had a gut feeling that his squad would encounter such an enemy.

This is a more subtle feeling, there is no reason, there is no basis, it is just a feeling.

In ancient times, it is said that there were monks who cultivated their own Taoism and spiritual consciousness to a certain extent, and there would be a legendary "whim", which seems to be the case.

Welling didn't read these things too much into the team, but in the next step he made the daily itinerary shorter, preferring to go out longer than to venture a little more.

Every time you walk a distance, you will arrange for the palace guards to conduct long-distance over-the-top scanning, and then proceed after confirming that it is safe.

This undoubtedly hindered their speed greatly, but due to the caution in the new situation, everyone strictly followed suit.

After a few days, they reached the far end of the enchantment support system, and after normally heading some distance south, they turned around and headed back east.

Standing on a hill, Welling looks out over the green mountains.

The mountains in the west are crisscrossed, and countless large mountain ranges stretch far into the sky.

From here, you can see several huge mountain ranges running side by side to the southwest.

The four mountain ranges of Gaoli Bosu Mountains, Shennu Mountains, Mangyun Mountains, and Qubiaru Mountains extend from here to the distance, and this section is just the gentle area where these mountains meet.

The Mengshui River, the Langlan River, and the Tongtian River, three turbulent rivers, are sandwiched between these mountain ranges, winding and undulating, and moving forward.

Looking at the West from afar, Welling was silent for a long time.

The air of this era is no longer hazy and heavily polluted, and the blue mountains in the distance are very transparent.

"Raise the drone, 500 meters at an elevation, over-the-horizon scanning once."

Welling gave instructions to the palace guard.

Take a closer look at Welling's moves, and there are no complaints about guarding the palace.

The armor behind the intelligent platform opened, and a small rotary-wing aircraft swooped into the air.

The image of the distance was instantly shared with everyone with the support of the palace.

Several people were stunned at once.

Just behind the farthest mountain range in the distance, there is a medium-sized camp under construction.

Many service-oriented intelligent machines are busy under the command of dozens of Western Wilderness Hunters.

Countless small armoured boxes covered with mountain camouflage stripes have been assembled into makeshift camps, and a large number of surface-to-air weapons have been arranged.

Many mechanical locusts with greenish-gray and dark brown stripes jumped around the perimeter of the camp, each beating at a height of tens of meters, and even more than 100 meters away.

There were also numerous small black dots hovering over the camp, scanning and monitoring the perimeter.

The sudden discovery made several people's hearts beat violently and they were frightened.

Welling issued a command:

"Instantly send coordinate locations and imagery to the enchantment system!"

"Immediately conceal, disguise the environment, and wait for system commands!"

"Maintain altitude and continue to follow up and detect!"
