The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

1006 thinks he's probably the commander who's been most severely constrained by the unified recruitment system so far.

He often felt that he was just a little bit unlucky. It was one thing that he didn't get the upper hand at the beginning, but after all, his debating skills were far inferior to those of top talents like Xilai, a fact he had already come to realize.

From the moment he failed to gain the upper hand and was forced to take a subordinate position, his career plummeted. Because he couldn't win the favor of the West, he couldn't even secure a place in the government, let alone be given a high position. He was quickly ousted from the center of power. Then, somehow, he was assigned to this remote place, which truly frustrated Wu Shi immensely.

However, he was not the competitive type. Since things had come to this, it was not unreasonable for him to put aside his ambitions and wait for an opportunity while guarding the No. 759 base. However, before he encountered a suitable opportunity, he ran into Jiang Hui, the great demon king.

The other party is practically cheating, not only ignoring the "rules of the game" but also taking advantage of certain aspects of those rules to perform certain maneuvers.

Given his misunderstanding, Wu Shi had almost no chance of turning the tables. Unless he had the guts to smash the plate... But he simply put the plate away, not knowing which way it was, and maintained tight control.

However, Wu Shi was unaware that he had fallen into a trap. After finishing his conversation with Xi Lai, he heard someone knocking on the door and paused to ask them to bring the person in.

This was the first time 733 had seen the division commander in such a situation. He had seen him before during a migration and once in a crowd.

To be honest, as a junior commander of a branch, 1002 did what he could: quickly but calmly and methodically. He handled everything very well. However, he was too distant from his team members, so much so that they didn't know much about him.

It's not that a commander has to be approachable or lead by example, but having leadership skills is fundamental. You need to win people's hearts and minds to be able to command troops effectively.

Top-level commanders generally possess extremely strong cohesion for their troops, and their soldiers are even willing to follow their orders and risk their lives. This kind of cohesion and command is not necessary, but it is the realm that all commanders dream of achieving.

However, in 1002, he was young and impulsive, and the knowledge he had gained from school was still very shallow. He also couldn't understand the mysteries of human nature, and he couldn't handle the interpersonal relationships under his command, even with just a few hundred people. Of course, even his direct superior, Xilai, couldn't do well in this regard, so it was understandable.

All he could do was replicate the knowledge he gained at school and try to systematically organize his team. However, this initial attempt naturally had some oversights, which Jiang Hui then exploited.

Of course, now is not the time to think about that. Sensing the sharp gaze directed at him, 733 immediately straightened up, displaying the same nervousness one would show when meeting a direct superior. After all, if he didn't say anything, who would know if he was nervous because he saw orders from above or because he was guilty of being an undercover agent?

After they came in, 1002 didn't immediately pay attention to them, but leaned against the edge of the sand table, not caring at all about their feelings.

Some of the people in 733 looked at each other, unsure of what the other party was up to. However, Jiang Hui had given them instructions: no matter what the other party did or said, they shouldn't panic or pay attention. He had his own methods.

If it were anyone else, the people of 733 might not believe it, and would likely be somewhat panicked at this moment. But the person who said this was Jiang Hui, the one who appeared out of nowhere and controlled them in the blink of an eye... They had all experienced her abilities, and they truly believed that she had a way.

So even though the group was escorted to the top of the tower representing supreme command, they weren't actually that panicked, just instinctively uncomfortable in front of their superiors. "Knock knock—"

It was the sound of someone tapping on the edge of the sand table, seemingly deep in thought, when suddenly they said, "The main tower has sent a secret report..."

You actually told us this secret... Do you really not consider us outsiders? Or is this a clear indication that 'you won't be able to leave alive, even if you hear some secrets, you can't tell anyone'?

The opposing side didn't need 733's people to speak: "...New forces poured in, a large number of mechs entered the field, and a medium-sized base tower extending northeast from the main tower was lost. According to the vanguard, the one who captured this base tower was a commander known as 'Yara'."

"It was the dead of night, and a week after the invasion of the base tower, the branch command of that base tower completely lost contact with Xilai. It wasn't until a man named Yara sent a message to the Xilai commander-in-chief of the main tower that the matter was settled."

"The commander-in-chief is currently planning to transfer some personnel from the three main towers of Linzhoulin to recapture the lost towers. Do you think... this plan can succeed?"

Huh? Xi Lai's house was raided too?! Who raided Xi Lai's house even faster than them? That guy is not easy to deal with. 733 was stunned for a moment.

Perhaps he himself was unaware that he had unknowingly accepted the reality that he had become an undercover agent, and even began to spontaneously put himself in the shoes of the enemy who had captured him.

The deployment of the mechs has finally taken effect.

It's been only a little over a week since they acquired the mechs and entered the inner circle, and things have already changed drastically. It seems that more changes will follow. It remains to be seen whether they will be the ones stirring things up, or whether they will be the ones making the situation even more chaotic.

And what they're asking for their opinion on, which is theoretically a confidential report, is absurd. Why are they doing this? Why not just kill them? Are they expecting them to know the truth before they're killed? This guy seems pretty nice.

Indeed, there's a hidden meaning in their words, isn't there? They're telling them that one of the newly built watchtowers was captured by the attackers, and that the raid was launched in the middle of the night. Saying that to them is like telling them, "I know what you're up to, so don't make any rash moves," and so on.

But they were using a night raid, and they've already been discovered... A night raid is impossible, and they seem to be driven into a corner with no way out.

Is there really no way out? Yes, perhaps for ordinary people, but for 733 and others, it's a different story—
