The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 673 The visitor is evil

"Wow, they're here! Look over there!"

"Hurry up, don't block the way. What are you standing there for? Everything down below is in chaos. Take advantage of this moment... hurry up and go check it out, otherwise—oh well, I'm off."

A guard was bumped into by a group of his colleagues and stared blankly at the empty corridor. How come all of a sudden... no one needs to patrol anymore?!
As he panted heavily and rushed up the only relatively intact top floor of this bastion tower, which was commensurate with the mid-level tower, before he could even squeeze into the crowd to see what had happened, he felt a tremor beneath his feet.

This was not the usual sound that floats on the surface, but a violent sound that seemed to come from the roots, a huge, booming sound.

The tremor didn't last long; it passed in the blink of an eye. But just when everyone thought the commotion was about to end, an even louder sound accompanied by a tremor in the earth's crust caused the dilapidated tower to appear somewhat shaky.

The man staggered, then used all his strength to squeeze into the crowd.

Such a dense crowd is impossible to squeeze through normally. People at the front are probably stunned and don't know what to do, and before you know it, someone has darted ahead to the front.

Once they reached the front, the person who arrived later understood why everyone was scrambling to the top, creating chaos, instead of doing their work or patrolling... because—

A powerful enemy is coming.

The news that Xilai had sent men to attack had already spread throughout the outpost. After all, nothing stays secret forever, and they hadn't deliberately kept it a secret. Moreover, the tense and urgent atmosphere within the ranks made it hard not to overthink things... In addition, Kashi, who was always traveling, had brought his men over. Everything made people think of the phrase, "A storm is brewing."

They had considered when the enemy would arrive, and also considered that the enemy's strength might be superior to theirs. If that happened, it would be difficult for them to defend such a dilapidated fortified tower, almost equivalent to being abandoned by Yara.

But if they wanted to run, where could they run to? Yara's leadership style has always been to gather small forces and fight alone, focusing on being small but elite.

Even if they escaped to another place, their situation would be the same, so it's better to stay where they are. At least the companions here are people he has gotten to know before.

Moreover, if you were to escape from here, unless you were absolutely determined not to return to Yara's command and were confident that you could escape completely without being caught... it would not be advisable to do such a thing, because if you were caught or discovered to be a deserter, you would be punished.

Yes, punishment. Don't be fooled by the fact that everyone here seems to be playing a sandbox strategy game or online game. It can't be compared to a real army or battle, but the rules they follow are essentially the same.

To better manage the teams, each team has set corresponding rules, and anyone who violates the rules or openly provokes others will be subject to corresponding "punishment".

Of course, this kind of punishment is not physical. After all, everyone is a test taker and is in the same camp. How can you fight your own people? You might even lose points yourself—that's not worth it.

However, it is still easy to detain people, prevent them from participating in the next unified enrollment, or restrict or deprive them of the means or scope to obtain resources.

Don't even think about not going back and becoming a deserter; the higher-ups can't do anything to them... In fact, when joining the team, everyone already chose to be associated with their own team and commander, and then the branch commanders were controlled by the overall commander—with this layered management, it's clear who belongs to whom and which team. So-called deserters have nowhere to run. If they're caught or discovered, they won't be punished. At best, they'll be eliminated on the spot; if they're really unlucky, they might suffer some physical pain before being eliminated. So they can only stay here, and they can only stay here.

That was a mech, a mech almost as tall as their base tower.

The unified recruitment has now exceeded 24 star-hours, roughly equivalent to one-third of the total length. This weapon, capable of traversing interstellar battlefields and representing humanity's most versatile means of self-enhancement, has finally arrived amidst much anticipation.

And it comes with a powerful move right from the start.

In reality, when these hard-core weapons were first introduced to the unified examination venue, less than five stars had been allocated, and everyone had only recently acquired them, so no one knew each other's hand. Therefore, no one dared to use them rashly, and everyone was just guessing how many such winning weapons others held.

011 is one of the few people who openly revealed it, and immediately brought out three platforms.

Three mechs! Xilai only had a few dozen mechs under his command, which required about two thousand men to share. But in order to prove himself, he deployed three mechs and three or four hundred men in one go. He really went to great lengths to reclaim his territory and drive Yara out of it.

How can human flesh and blood stand against mechs? If it were purely human, even thousands of people might not be able to stop a single mech. A single movement could crush a large number of people. It is clearly irrational for humans to try to resist mechs with their flesh and blood.

However, a war between mechs can only be fought with mechs.

So if it were another team without mechs, they wouldn't even need to fight; they could just send one person to surrender.

Fortunately, this team is somewhat special; they also have two mechs, one less than the other three, but it's not impossible for them to fight back with all their might.

Actually, if this group had arrived earlier, the others would have been even more overwhelmed, because at that time they only had one mech at most. So why do they have two now? Because their party branch command. 2856 has one, and Kas also has one.

This is why Kas was able to share power with Yara. No matter when or where, he always positioned himself in a superior position, giving him leverage in negotiations, making him someone no one could easily control.

It's worth noting that many of the smaller factions trapped inside don't even own a single mech. Even if they do, they're usually shared by several factions within the same group or operated collectively. Yet, Kashi possesses an entire mech, with complete and exclusive control over its operation. It's hard to say whether treating subordinates like this is due to his own skill or Yara's exceptionally broad-mindedness as commander.

But putting aside the matter of two or three planes, the problem now is that a fight is about to break out, and there is no room for maneuver.

The 011 that led three mechs came with great force; it's impossible that they just wanted to visit for a short time or use them to intimidate enemy forces. That would be a huge waste of their potential.

As for Yara's followers under the leadership of 2856, they simply lacked the confidence to compete head-on with the other side. However, they were clearly in a difficult position and had no choice but to act.
