Chapter 1442: Chapter 932: Changes (2)

Although it’s their squad’s precious rotation rest period now, under normal circumstances, they must maintain the most basic, optimal combat status.

Therefore, high-intensity training is a common occurrence for them.

The datafication of the power system has long been ingrained into them, like instinct.

Thus, even on ordinary training days, its intensity is often quite high.

At this moment, a slight energy ripple suddenly appeared on the Magic Barrier at the entrance of the training ground, accompanied by a distant, low, and power-packed wind pressure roar, along with the Flying Dragon’s distinctively strong piercing screech.

Although because this is a busy floating zone.

Therefore, various flying creatures and mounts come and go incessantly, but each building area has its unique energy markings.

Their fortress belongs to a private exclusive area.

Thus, there are not many who would come to visit without invitation or notification.

At this moment, five figures riding agile Flying Dragons were rapidly flying toward their fortress, skillfully and stably piloting the dragons to land on the exclusive landing platform below the fortress.

A Flying Dragon, a powerful and rare mount, generally speaking, is only eligible and capable of being allocated to elite squads of the Soul Guardian level.

The main reason is that the growth cycle of the Flying Dragon is exceedingly long, even with the most professional beast tamers inside Night Watchers conducting meticulous training and nurturing, the speed remains slow.

The number is extremely scarce, the cultivation process slow and arduous, yet its powerful combat ability and mobility are enough to become an important support on the battlefield.

Thus, the Flying Dragon naturally becomes a flight mount desired by many Soul Guardian Squads.

Younger brother Vane leads his "Stardust Watcher" squad members, dust-ridden, jumping agilely down from their now-tame Flying Dragon mounts, striding energetically into the bustling training ground.

Their sudden appearance immediately drew the attention of the "Silver Radiance Blade" members who were undergoing training, causing the originally tight training tempo to slow down.

"Vane?"

Arya halted her fierce attack, casually wiped the sparkling sweat from her forehead, her bold eyebrows slightly furrowed, looking at her brother with apparent confusion.

"Why are you back at this time? I recall your squad’s rotation period at the Eastern Outpost should have at least a month and a half before ending?"

The Night Watcher’s high-level combat reserve has always been limited.

Hence, the Soul Guardian Squad’s operational task pressure is likewise not small.

Under typical circumstances, they would not return from rotation prematurely, and even during some emergency times, they have to actively work overtime.

Vane swiftly removed his slightly dust-laden helmet, revealing a distinctly contoured face similar to his sister’s, but slightly younger and more spirited.

Facing his sister’s query, he was equally filled with perplexity.

"We were wondering too, Arya. We had just switched defenses and settled down when we suddenly received a direct order from the command, instructing us to pause the current rotation task and immediately return to the South City base for rest and standby."

"The order was extremely brief, with the core content being ’temporary strategic adjustment, execute immediately.’ I figured it’s never bad to have a month of rest back, so I didn’t ask much and directly led the team back by flight."

The members behind him also nodded in agreement, clearly confused about the reason for this early return.

"Maybe they called us back for standby. Perhaps the command has some new major plan, arranging personnel back at headquarters to avoid chaos when officially assigning tasks later."

A calm Shield Warrior member murmured, which was a reasonable guess fitting the Night Watchers’ operational style.

The others nodded in agreement, recognizing this typical arrangement of prioritizing order and efficiency by the Night Watchers.

However, not everyone thought the same; some members were more informed.

Within the "Silver Radiance Blade" team, a tall and slender Elf Mage Lina set down the heavy spell tome, speaking thoughtfully with a crisp and melodious voice.

"Calling back the entire Soul Guardian Squad a whole month early... that’s indeed quite rare. Your return is timely; a peculiar event happened at the command center a few days ago. The central hub suddenly called almost all core Night Watcher department ministers for a secret high-level meeting that lasted a full three days and nights!"

Her words were like stones cast into calm waters, instantly drawing the full attention of everyone present.

Lina was considered the most well-informed individual in their squad.

Their capacity was mainly reflected in that extensive, intricate list of communication channels including many hidden personal information networks.

The Night Watchers’ channel communication system, after so many years of development and refinement, has been well-structured with distinct levels.

The largest public world channel contained vast, surging information, updating crazily almost every moment.

Thus, it’s not suitable for receiving precise intelligence, more often used by members for exchanging experiences or leisurely chats (known colloquially as gossiping).

However, when major regional emergency events occurred, the world channel’s information dissemination speed was the fastest, with news and discussions spreading instantly onver the world channel the moment events occur.
