The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

On the other hand, Jiang Hui was unaware that someone was using her as a figurehead, almost dragging her into the "backstabbing" between majors. Although it was harmless, it would obviously cause some trouble for her as she was about to enroll.

However, the controversy quickly faded away, and no one except the parties involved knew what had happened. Jiang Hui in the video was still busy with her own things.

She couldn't stop for a moment. After gathering more than a hundred people, she moved even faster, almost unable to wait for a careful plan.

When there are few people, Jiang Hui can still find ways to take advantage of the situation, but when there are many people, he becomes too conspicuous. If he doesn't settle things properly, he will be discovered sooner or later. Now that there is still room for maneuver, it is not the time to stop.

The hundred-plus people Jiang Hui currently has are all people recruited through "irregular means." He can't just take them all back; that would be making it public knowledge.

So she had to find a way and a pretext to put these people back in their proper places, while also making her plans easier.

If she wanted them to stay here, it would be difficult to integrate them together; they would be too conspicuous and easily discovered. If she separated them, her raid would become meaningless.

Jiang Hui still needed to find a fixed foothold, a base that could conceal her integration of personnel from both sides. She set her sights on a medium-sized fortified tower not far from here. It was the fortified tower that Xi Lai had initially lost, and although it was now in ruins, it still had an advantageous geographical location.

Moreover, it's currently a battleground between two sides. If we take it, the movement won't be noticeable no matter which side we deploy... Well, things are still noticeable in this kind of place, but it would be perfectly reasonable to take action here. She could easily handle four or five hundred people, let alone a hundred, without anyone noticing.

It's versatile, offering both offensive and defensive advantages, and it's also convenient for acting... Jiang Hui had no reason not to be tempted.

Without hesitation, she summoned several key members of the team to prepare for action.

-------------

Far away in the dilapidated Kivita, the relatively intact top floor was crowded with people. The room, which was originally intended for command use, was now occupied by dozens of people.

Don't underestimate these few dozen people; they all possess powerful auras, and their intense and flamboyant spiritual energy resonates within the small space. The dozens of powerful forces intertwine, making even the top floor feel cramped.

These people are all leaders of a squad. Normally, two or three of them together are already quite formidable. Now, with dozens of them gathered together, even those with slightly weaker mental strength might find it difficult to withstand them.

These men were drawn from the surrounding garrison. Aside from a few teams left to maintain basic order, the junior commanders of the rest were summoned here. The purpose, naturally, was to devise a plan to further advance the battle line and seize the positions belonging to the Western Front.

Their composed demeanor and effortless manner suggested this wasn't the first time; they had clearly done this many times before. Yara's repeated ability to gain the upper hand in their battles against Xilai was not only due to Kashi's unexpected attacks, but also undoubtedly to the efforts of these backup personnel.

It can be said that Yara's subordinates are almost all people who are good at using their wits to achieve the greatest benefit with the least amount of effort. Even a small team of six can independently carry out a certain plan.

This reveals the criteria Arah and Silai used for selecting people. The latter accepted all comers, as long as the number was large and he didn't care about anyone. The former, on the other hand, was very picky and could not tolerate useless or stupid people.

This resulted in the westward-bound team being a mixed bag, with few capable individuals emerging at crucial moments, and also prone to being mixed in with ulterior motives, such as Jiang Hui now.

Yara, on the other hand, represented the other extreme. Her forces were slightly smaller, and the territory she controlled appeared to be less than that of Sira. However, her forces included many intelligent and capable individuals, a fact that became evident in battle, as intelligent people are generally less troublesome to deal with.

This is why Yara was able to repeatedly push back the Xilai front. Despite Xilai's superior overall strength, they suffered repeated defeats; Xilai was simply too inexperienced in the details. Jiang Hui exploited this weakness, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to make her move. Xilai's arrogance and blind faith, and Yara's excessive focus, were the reasons she had reached this point.

Back at the base tower, this group of people had actually gathered once before, so this was a temporary mobilization.

The reason for summoning these people again was that they had also received news that Xilai was going to send a large army to "conquer" them.

Don't be fooled by their success in encroaching on Xilai's territory; they are actually quite wary of their opponent.

The Western forces are powerful, well-equipped, and have a tough style. It would be no good to confront them head-on; it's definitely not comparable to the previous skirmishes.

If the other party were to abandon the main tower and come in person, even Yara, their leader, would likely be unable to withstand it. After all, he is a ruthless individual who has quickly built up his own faction and is certainly capable of much more than this.

They only benefited from the fact that the other party couldn't come here in person, and that they were managing such a large operation.

But I heard that the other party is from 011... who is no pushover either.

The people here are naturally not as skilled as Kas, nor can they manage just a few dozen people in the "suicide squad" like Kas. There are two hundred or so people here, and they are all important matters. If something goes wrong, they can't just leave and be done with it.

The lone soldier codenamed 011 operated in a style similar to Xi Lai's, even more ruthless, leaving no survivors in his wake. Xi Lai sent him with the intention of eliminating them completely, so he would undoubtedly have brought a significant number of men with him.

After Yara sent the message, they fell silent, offering no instructions or clear directions, seemingly observing from the sidelines. But if they were being used as pawns… then why were they meticulously inquiring about their plans? It seemed as if they had some scheme in mind.

This naturally made the people stationed here very uneasy and even a little irritable.

"What are your thoughts now?" The person sitting in the high position crossed his arms and looked indifferently at the crowd stamping their feet on the ground.

"What can we do? We'll just have to deal with whatever comes our way..."

"Don't make it sound so easy. I've heard of that 011. If you fall into his hands, you won't even be able to surrender. He'll wipe you out. I heard that because of him, none of Xilai's men dare to defect."

"What's there to be afraid of? We're all the same, every team has its extremists, isn't there one of us outside right now..."

"Kas is just combative, but he's actually easy to talk to."

"By the way, I heard from the patrolmen that Kass is no longer at the temporary post, nor at the other two locations... Could he have been so reckless as to rush over there after hearing that 011 was coming?"
