The skirmish had lasted for more than 24 hours.
The current situation on the battlefield is slightly in favor of the Tianyi Mercenary Group.
After almost 24 hours of fighting, both fleets simultaneously sent out truce request flares.
Then, both sides simultaneously sent out signal flares to accept each other's request for a truce.
Under international war treaties, there is 48 hours during a truce to clean up the battlefield and carry out rescue activities.
During the 48-hour rescue period, neither side can launch any attacks. Even if the search and rescue teams of the two sides meet, there can be no conflict.
If during a rescue operation, it is discovered that there are still surviving enemy soldiers, they must not be harmed and can be captured as prisoners, but they must be provided with humanitarian assistance.
The Tianyi Mercenary Group is supposed to be a private armed organization and is not required to abide by international war treaties.
However, before the two sides went to war, the Dion Empire sent envoys to the Tianyi Mercenary Group to ask both sides to abide by the international war treaty and the treaty that belonged only to them.
After discussing with the generals, Long Fei and Li Jiaming agreed to the other party's request and the two sides signed the treaty.
Now that the ceasefire has lasted for 48 hours, both sides have sent out their own search and rescue teams to see if there are any surviving colleagues.
In addition to sending out rescue troops, the Tianyi Mercenary Group also sent out steel ball work ships and steel ball search and rescue medical ships.
The Steel Ball work boat took away the wreckage on the battlefield, and the Steel Ball search and rescue medical ship cooperated with the rescue team to find survivors.
All war correspondents also rushed into the battlefield, which was currently under truce, to broadcast live.
The steel balls on the steel ball work ship are recovering the wreckage. Once the detector finds any signs of life, it will immediately notify the nearest rescue team or the steel ball search and rescue medical ship.
Many war correspondents filmed that if the rescue forces of the two sides were to confront each other, they would mark out their own areas in one place for search and rescue, and there would be no overlap in the search and rescue areas of the two forces.
Because both rescue teams will release their special devices to show the scope of their search and rescue.
Of course, war correspondents can enter their search and rescue range to take pictures, but they must keep a distance from these search and rescue teams.
Local reporters also filmed that when the two armies were conducting search and rescue operations and rescued enemy soldiers, the injured were temporarily treated, while the uninjured were directly handcuffed.
Then make a one-for-one exchange with the enemy and get your own people back.
The Dion Army will first request to exchange back the native Dion Imperial Army, especially the new humans and adjusters, who are the first people they want to exchange back.
If the number of people to be exchanged between the two parties is unequal, the party with more people will go to another place to exchange.
The way the two sides exchanged prisoners was somewhat surprising to the war correspondents.
Even the people watching the live broadcast were surprised that prisoners could be exchanged directly in this way.
However, many war correspondents filmed the exchange of prisoners between the two sides. Some of the prisoners captured by Dion's army looked like children or teenagers (this was mainly done in outer space, so it was impossible to see the appearance of these smaller people clearly).
Then, some war reporters obtained the consent of the Tianyi Mercenary Group and entered the Steel Ball Search and Rescue Medical Ship to conduct live broadcasts.
In addition to filming the medical staff, Haro and the machines and instruments he operated, the war correspondent's camera also captured Dion's army receiving treatment for their injuries.
Among these wounded prisoners there were teenagers and even children.
This scene caused an uproar throughout the world.
They had never imagined that even children would be sent to the battlefield, and some of these injured children looked to be under 12 years old.
For a time, all the countries in the world were cursing the Dion Empire, especially the so-called human rights organizations, which were even more critical of the Dion Empire.
Although the leaders of various countries in the world strongly condemned the Dion Empire, they were actually very happy in their hearts.
Sending children to the battlefield indirectly proves that there are no soldiers available in the Dion Empire.
Many young soldiers or child soldiers who receive treatment are directly treated with therapeutic gel as long as their injuries are not very serious, and then these children are arranged to stay in separate rooms.
When exchanging prisoners, the Dion Army always gave priority to these child soldiers.
The Tianyi mercenaries also discovered that these child soldiers were either new humans or adjusted humans.
During the prisoner exchange between the two sides, a group of human rights organizations posted on the official website of the Tianyi Mercenary Group, demanding that the Tianyi Mercenary Group should not use child soldiers when exchanging prisoners with the Dion Army.
The Tianyi Mercenary Group paid no heed to the appeals of human rights organizations. Even if these child soldiers were handed over to the Dion Army, they would be sent back to the battlefield.
The Tianyi Mercenary Group didn't want to pay attention to such things, they just wanted to exchange their colleagues back.
As for whether these child soldiers would be sent to the battlefield and die in the next war, the Tianyi Mercenary Group did not want to care at all. As long as they were on the battlefield, no matter who they were, whether they were the old, the weak, women or children, anyone who took up arms was an enemy.
Many members of human rights organizations watched the live broadcast as the Tianyi mercenaries sent the young child soldiers who had just recovered from their injuries onto the airship in exchange for their captured colleagues.
This angered human rights organizations, and they cursed the Tianyi Mercenary Group on its website for not caring about the safety of the child soldiers.
Many human rights organizations gathered their members to demonstrate in front of the Tianyi Mercenary Group's base, accusing the Tianyi Mercenary Group of being unwilling to rescue those child soldiers.
The official website of the Tianyi Mercenary Corps issued a statement, saying that the Dion Empire pushed young children onto the battlefield to fight, and it is they who should be blamed, not our Tianyi Mercenary Corps. Replacing those child soldiers would only mean exchanging our colleagues. As for whether those child soldiers will be deployed in the next battlefield, that is the business of the Dion Empire and has nothing to do with us. As for if the human rights organizations can't stand it, they don't have to protest to us or demonstrate in front of our base. It's better for them to go to the battlefield themselves. After defeating the Dion Empire, you can take care of those child soldiers. Don't use the moral high ground like a saintly bitch to accuse us. You don't deserve it, and we won't buy it.
On the other hand, in terms of the number of prisoners captured by both sides, the Tianyi Mercenary Group captured more prisoners, almost more than twice as many as the Dion Army.
If they are native Dion soldiers, the Tianyi Mercenary Group will make special arrangements to send them to their detention center and settle them together with the earlier Dion soldiers.
If the person is from the original colonial circle, the Tianyi Mercenary Group will hand him over to the United Army for arrangement.
The Tianyi Mercenary Group can compare the identities of prisoners, mainly by obtaining identity information provided by the United Army.
On the other hand, if a body is found during a search and rescue operation, if it is an enemy soldier's body, it will be immediately returned to the enemy.
Many war correspondents also photographed the bodies of many child soldiers, and some child soldiers died during the search and rescue process.
After the medical staff failed to rescue these child soldiers, expressions of regret, helplessness and heartache appeared on their faces.
