"The alarm is sounding, and no one is allowed to leave. As sentries, don't you know that?"

"We have an important mission that we need to carry out," the sentry captain said in a deep voice.

The executive officer's eyes were full of doubt. How could there be a mission that needed to be carried out during such a crisis?

The sentries behind them gripped their weapons tightly, seemingly ready to retaliate at any moment.

"Show me the task sheet," the executive officer asked with some suspicion.

The sentry captain walked forward step by step, and the sentries behind him became increasingly nervous.

They don't have any task list; it would be terrible if that were discovered.

Just then, another patrol returned.

"Captain Zhao?"

"Captain Liu."

The sentry captain was clearly taken aback when he saw the person returning, and put the gun he had just drawn back down.

He had a good relationship with Captain Zhao of the patrol team and didn't want him to get hurt.

"If you're not keeping watch up there, what are you doing down here?" Captain Zhao jumped off the camel and walked over curiously to ask.

“I…we have an urgent mission and need to go out to carry it out,” the sentry captain explained.

The two men exchanged a glance, and the patrol captain then looked at the sentry behind the other, whose expression was tense and seemed a bit off.

Having served in the patrol team for many years, he immediately understood everything.

However, the patrol captain didn't remind the others; instead, he turned to the officer beside him and said:

"Let them pass."

The executive officer hesitated for a moment: "But there are orders from above not to go out."

"Don't you know it's an emergency mission? Let them through!" the patrol captain raised his voice.

After all, he was newly appointed and did not want to offend both captains at the same time.

Thinking this, the executive had no choice but to step aside and make way for the door, shouting loudly:

"Emergency mission, proceed with clearance!"
