"Is it Xiao Dong? What's the matter at such a late hour?" Zhao Tianlong came back to his senses in three seconds, and then got dressed and got up, Captain Xiao Dong was one of the nine captains of the Yecheng City Defense Force, and he was considered Zhao Tianlong's direct subordinate, so he naturally knew that Xiao Dong would not bother him in the middle of the night for no reason, unless he really encountered any emergency!

Generally speaking, captain-level officers are enough to deal with general things, take Yecheng as an example, the city defense force is headed by Major Zhao Tianlong, with three captains, nine captains, and lieutenants and lieutenants are uncertain, with Zhao Tianlong and three captains and nine captains to form the decision-making level of the Yecheng city defense force, generally speaking, ordinary small things do not need to work Zhao Tianlong personally came forward, after all, there are too many things to deal with in the entire Yecheng, and Zhao Tianlong cannot be exhaustive, and appropriate delegation of power is necessary!

"Major, something may have happened, three days ago, our city defense force cooperated with 200 secret students from Yecheng Academy to carry out an E-level detective mission for a period of three days, but almost an hour has passed so far, but no one has returned to Yecheng, including our 20 alliance lieutenants, I'm afraid they are in trouble in the Yexi jungle!"

Captain Xiao Dong said urgently, this matter can be big or small, if nothing happens, it will naturally be the best, but if something happens, I'm afraid no one can get out of it, a simple E-level mission, if there is really something wrong, what damage will be caused to these 200 secret students, even if it is him Zhao Tianlong, I am afraid he will not be able to get out of it!

Zhao Tianlong's spirit was shocked, and he was still a little confused, but he was completely perked up at this moment: "Are you saying that no one has come back until now, not even a single person who has reported the news, have you sent troops to search!"

"Not yet, but I have ordered the city defense troops to pay close attention, and report to us as soon as anyone comes back, but it seems that there is no news yet!" Captain Xiao Dong shook his head, if there was really news, he would not speculate here, a battle without intelligence is the most difficult to fight, because there is no knowledge of what forces are on the other side!

"I'm just afraid that it's not good, in this way, this exploration force is really in some trouble, and the order is to order the first squadron, the second squadron, and the fourth squadron of the second brigade to be dispatched, and the armored team convoy will set off at the same time, search against the current, and be sure to find them!"

These 20 exploration teams are also a big force for Ye Cheng, and when those 200 secret students grow up, they will be 200 second lieutenant-level officers, not to mention that there are 20 second lieutenant officers and 200 alliance soldiers in these 20 exploration teams at this moment!

The military strength dispatched by Zhao Tianlong this time is also powerful, the first squadron, the second squadron and the fourth squadron, a total of 3,000 alliance soldiers, and although the number of armored teams and combat teams is only 300, but they control the sword mantis chariot, the strength is stronger than the combat effectiveness of a squadron, plus a captain squadron leader, as well as 10 lieutenants and 30 second lieutenant officers, a total of 3,600 rescue teams, which is already one-tenth of the strength of the Yecheng city defense force, which can also be seen that Zhao Tianlong attaches great importance to this incident!

The city defense troops moved quickly, the 124th squadron that got the order, the armored team and the combat convoy were all assembled in less than an hour, Zhao Tianlong sat on the steel wall and did not make a move, this matter can be big or small Zhao Tianlong, as the supreme commander of the city defense force, naturally has to focus on the overall situation, but in order to properly command, Zhao Tianlong also ordered Captain Xu Hua to be the captain of the rescue team, with the armored team and the combat team as the vanguard, the first and second squadrons searched along the left and right sides of Yexi respectively, and the fourth squadron was in the center to respond, and it was necessary to find effective clues within the next day to complete the rescue mission！

A full 100 sword mantis chariots were quickly gathered, and the rescue team of 3,600 people was divided into 5 parts to advance, and this time they carried out only one key point of the rescue mission, that is, they must rescue all personnel as soon as possible, so the armored team and the combat team played a great role!

The 100 sword mantis chariots under the steel city wall were neatly arranged, and a huge roar sounded, like 100 terrifying ninth-level star beasts, rumbling towards the depths of the Yexi jungle, after the rescue team advanced for 50 miles, each chariot would come down with an alliance warrior for search and rescue, and then the chariot continued to advance, leaving a hundred-person team every 20 miles for search and rescue,

But soon the rescue team found that there was something abnormal, a hundred sword mantis chariots rushed forward, just like 100 ninth-level star beasts crisscrossing the jungle there is no strength to resist 100 sword mantis chariots, unless there is a commander-level star beast appears, but the rescue force that stayed behind quickly issued a danger alarm, so far, the rescue team has not moved more than a hundred miles, fifty miles began to leave a search team, up to now, there have been 4 hundred teams to search!

But according to the news from the intelligence, the 4 centuriens were attacked by star beasts in the rear, and the losses were huge, in a short period of time, they had lost the strength of a centenarian, which was impossible to happen in the past, and such a terrifying casualty rate had reached 25% in the rescue team Since the Battle of the Galaxy, the Human Alliance has established the status of the main civilization of the galaxy, and it is rare to have such a terrifying casualty rate, whether it is in the local troops or the interstellar conquest troops, the casualty rate rarely exceeds 20%, and it is generally below 10%, which is a relatively tragic operation, but this time the damage of the rescue team reached 25%, and the horror of the casualty rate was second only to the Orange Continent Star Beast Riot eight years ago

Captain Xu Hua sat in the fourth squadron, and after getting the terrifying casualty rate transmitted back by the rescue team, Xu Hua's brows were also tightly furrowed, as one of the only three captains in the Yecheng City Defense Force, Xu Hua had outstanding combat achievements and was an elite veteran of the alliance, if it weren't for the fact that his cultivation level only reached the peak of foundation building and did not step into the real person level, Xu Hua would never be a captain, but cultivation is like this, even if the analysis method is detailed, it is impossible to train everyone to become a Jindan-level Xiuzhen!

"The order goes down, the rescue team urgently assembles to form a squadron, and searches within a hundred miles, the sword mantis chariot continues to advance, divided into ten chariots, each chariot is divided into three squads, each squad, advances with three chariots and finishes the word, scatters to search, be sure to ensure their own safety, I personally lead a chariot to the source of Yexi to probe, and set off!"
