Attack of the Traitor

"Sir, the initial communication has been completed."

Adjutant Myron's tone contained concern. "Six reconnaissance teams, including the Weapon Chief, have lost contact. We've tried three times, but they haven't responded."

Sir Taize's expression was as calm as water as he marked the areas where they had lost contact on the temporary map on the shelf.

The earliest bad news was discovered by a reconnaissance team.

They discovered a problem in their regular contact with the surrounding teams and discovered rising black smoke from a bird's eye view. In the end, they discovered the corpses of their allies that had already been charred by the flames. They could not tell the cause of death or how many enemies there were.

They reported this news. Sir Taize was experienced and knew that the situation was bad. He immediately ordered his adjutant to release the signal and conduct a large-scale call count of the entire island's investigation team.
