The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Not long ago, Yara's men attacked one of the serai outposts and almost reached the nearby bastion tower.

Fortunately, the people under Xilai were not to be trifled with; they immediately discovered them, drove them away, and gave chase.

Unfortunately, Yara's men had planned this all along, and seemed to have come specifically to harass them. They ran away very quickly, and apart from the few who were initially used as bait, the rest escaped in an instant, leaving only the furious guards of the base tower and the furious Silai who had learned the news.

Unfortunately, the area around Xilai Shita was precisely where their power was weakest. Although there used to be a medium-sized Jiwei Tower here, compared to the other Jiwei Towers under Xilai's control, there were no naturally surrounding subsidiary towers.

Of the dozen or so base towers under Xilai's rule, only this one is a standalone intermediate tower among the four intermediate towers. The other three intermediate towers each have two or three lower towers that support each other, forming a network that also has its own system, so it is naturally not so easy to break through.

However, the one lost in the west was a true exception. Although it was a mid-level tower, it was in the worst geographical location, isolated from all sides and difficult to defend. The terrain was flat and offered no special cover; in short, it was an "obvious hot potato," one that would be considered too hot to handle even if given away for free.

In fact, its first owner was not Xilai. Its previous owner had already invaded the inner perimeter and left with his men long ago. The tower became an abandoned tower, and since Xilai's territory was roughly located nearby, he simply claimed this place as his "territory".

After all, although it's not very easy to use... it's still a rare mid-level tower, and it might even be used for scoring. Xilai doesn't pay attention to such details and accepts anything that comes his way.

However, after some time, he realized that it was no wonder the people in front of him gave up without hesitation. Could this place be any good?

There wasn't a single secondary tower around it; it was completely isolated, an "island." Moreover, its existence was remarkably peaceful. Whether it was a garrisoned force or an enemy wanting to attack, everything was laid bare before them, making any attempt at intrigue impossible. The deployment of those stationed there was also problematic; there was no backup, and if anything went wrong, it would be a major disaster, utterly beyond saving…

However, the people had already been deployed, and it would be difficult to arrange them if they were brought back. Moreover, the area bordering this intermediate tower was a high-risk zone for attacks. For various reasons, Xilai eventually sent people to surround the area, but not to send too many people there.

But no one expected that Yara would exploit this weakness, and they were caught off guard and attacked. The tower was lost, and they couldn't get it back no matter what they did... No wonder Xilai was so angry.

Now the two sides are facing off, and an extremely long tug-of-war has begun, with this intermediate tower as their base.

The people of Yara hid in the reclaimed intermediate tower, responding to each move as it came, while the people from the west concentrated in a relatively nearby lower tower and two temporary outposts.

Yara attacked one of the outposts, and between the attacks, he also coveted the nearby jib tower. If the West hadn't discovered this in time, another outpost would have fallen.

Although both sides were determined to tear off a large chunk of the other's flesh, or even devour it whole, they lacked sufficient strength and were hampered by unfavorable circumstances, resulting in a stalemate.

It's anyone's guess who will win this farce in the end...

The stolen Kivita
In fact, it could no longer be called a tower. Xilai was furious when he learned that his garrison had been taken over by his former comrade-in-arms, Yara. He was not one to be trifled with, and he couldn't wait to slowly reclaim the place; he went straight for the ruthless. He thought that this place was never very useful to begin with. When it was in his hands, it was not only useless but also a hindrance, and now it had become a disgrace to him... This place could no longer be kept.

Leaving useless things in the other party's hands would only aid the enemy, and aiding the enemy is impossible; I would never do that in this lifetime, so it's better to just destroy them.

Since the other side had seized this place and could not take it back in time, they simply decided to blow up the tower. So Xilai simply sent people to destroy the base tower at any cost.

God knows how shocked and how much hatred Yara's men must have felt when they discovered their intention to blow up the bastion tower...

After several encounters, Yara's team realized that the people from the West really didn't care at all, treating this intermediate tower as a useless piece. Although they wanted to protect it, the West's tactics were completely barbaric, and since the West didn't care, they figured there was no need for them to care either.

Anyway, this place is really useless, especially for stationing troops. Compared to a mid-level tower of the same level, you need twice the number of people here to see any effect. And then...

This once passable intermediate tower has become almost worse than ruins, with one corner severely collapsed. While not exactly crumbling, it's drafty and has limited load-bearing capacity. Now, besides the command staff who must remain up there, there are only a limited number of reconnaissance personnel.

Yara assigned a single soldier named Kashi to suppress the situation. Although she didn't have a control panel like the command-oriented candidates, she possessed extremely strong combat abilities, a good overall perspective, and decision-making power, and was adept at making good use of every opportunity.

The swift capture of this intermediate tower was not only due to Yara's strategy, but also to this man's wisdom and strategic deployment. If we were to compare the events that occurred to a "battle," then this individual soldier named Kas was clearly a highly capable general.

Xi Lai's anger was clearly not only reflected in his attack on the tower he regarded as a disgrace; he was starting to get serious. It is estimated that he withdrew a large number of manpower from the various sub-towers to this place, built a new outpost with a speed of two or three times faster than before, and began to set up without any concealment, openly intending to have a decisive battle with Kas.

This is no joke... This place is always closer to the Westerners' encampment, although farther than the other sub-towers, it's still closer than their main base. If they really have to drag things out with them, they definitely can't outlast these lunatics.

Worried about the other party's next move, Kass reported this speculation to Yara, hoping she could give him some advice.

What was Yara thinking? She and Ciri were indeed kindred spirits and allies who worked together very well, and she could be said to have a keen understanding of each other's mindset.

Yara knew... that if it were someone else, he could indeed outsmart them and proceed gradually. But now that it was Silai, once you attacked Silai, you had to keep going without stopping until the outcome was clear, otherwise the inevitable result would be being devoured by a wild beast.

Yara's orders were "fight as much as you want," and she dispatched two elite teams, each reportedly capable of taking on ten men. She hoped for a swift victory—
