The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

If you were to ask who Xilai values ​​most, everyone in the main tower would know without a doubt that it's 011, one of Xilai's three most trusted generals. It's all thanks to them that Xilai has secured his position as the leader of this district.

011 is a very standard individual soldier. He joined Xilai's team after the team was established. Not only is he excellent in his own abilities, but he is also very stable in all aspects, including his style. Since then, he has been highly valued by Xilai.

As Xi Lai has said before, he's the kind of person who's arrogant and out of touch with reality. If you don't know him and are unconvinced by him, it's easy to develop a lot of opinions about him after getting to know him closely. This has been verified; the team has been able to find quite a few people who have made such statements.

But as a strong-willed and ambitious leader, he naturally attracts ambitious individuals like himself.

For the latter, although they lose a lot of freedom by serving under such a leader, they also gain more opportunities, which is much better than working under a mediocre person.

Especially for a power-oriented fanatic like 011, it is very important whether their philosophies and styles align during cooperation.

After all, while ability and potential are important, the former can be compensated for and the latter can be changed. Only one's beliefs... commonly known as one's values ​​and worldview, are useless if they are wrong.

The saying "It is easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature" has been universally true from ancient times to the present.

Normal people, especially those with stable personalities and a love of peace, tend to admire leaders with stable personalities. However, there are also quite a few people in this world who pursue excitement and the pinnacle and thus go to extremes.

People like this can't achieve their ideas through conventional methods or by following conventional people, so they seek out leaders with more extreme ideologies that are more in line with and closer to their own.

011 was just that kind of person, and Xilaiqia was the kind of leader he was looking for. The two hit it off immediately and cooperated well.

Building a team of this size in less than 24 weeks of unified recruitment is no small feat. Xi Lai has the courage and ambition, and equally indispensable are capable assistants like 011.

Since Xilai took command of more than a dozen base towers, he has been living high above the main tower and no longer travels around. Instead, he manages the various smaller towers through the overall management of a few trusted confidants.

011 was naturally his most capable subordinate. He managed several key intermediate-level towers occupied by Xilai, and when connected in a line, they formed the main defensive line of defense for the safety of Xilai's territory.

Each point in this "defense line" is composed of heavily fortified towers and fortified towns meticulously arranged by Xi Lai and infiltrated with numerous hidden fortifications. It has received a great deal of manpower, material resources, and manpower from him, and it cannot be lost. It is not something that just anyone can easily breach.

It can be said that under the control of the other party, no matter what changes occur, as long as the defense line remains unbroken, Xilai will be in an absolutely invincible position.

But now... the situation has changed—

Theoretically, no matter what happened, Xi Lai shouldn't have touched this trump card. He doesn't only have this one force at his disposal. Logically speaking, the "A Lang" in the east is the force he should use most, and it's the most suitable for him.

But for some reason, Xi Lai, after much deliberation, revealed his trump card, directly throwing his opponent into the game. This was no small matter, as it would trigger a series of changes in the situation and power dynamics.

And there's no doubt this operation will inevitably lead to chaos. A well-executed operation could potentially double the power of the Western forces and allow for unprecedented territorial expansion, but a poorly executed one... would turn a winning hand into a losing one—a complete failure. However, the player holding the cards clearly couldn't afford to consider this anymore. Whether he genuinely had other plans or was blinded by defeat—Yara's existence was a thorn in his side, and this sense of crisis drove him to act irrationally. After some further consideration, he ordered 011 to go to the front lines in his place and take down Yara, this tough nut to crack.

Regardless of what the others in Xilai's camp thought, or how ecstatic the other person who was promoted to take over the security line was, Xilai and 011 themselves remained remarkably calm.

After a private conversation with his direct commander, 011 soon left the main tower, leading a group of people towards the incident site, which was over a hundred miles away from the main tower. As for the location and suitability he had secured, there was no need to worry; others would take care of that—Xi Lai's subordinates were never short of capable assistants.

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

Upon learning that Xilai was preparing to send an important figure to personally lead the campaign, Jiang Hui was not in a hurry. She roughly counted the number of people and planned to make some preparations before the person arrived.

Jiang Hui had previously blocked Xiao A's senses, but she could still receive some messages. She took a moment to give instructions to Xiao A and reply to the others before turning back to the people and things in front of her.

"Come on, let's have a meeting, a short one, everyone come in—"

Jiang Hui seemed completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere in the room, waving for the person in charge of the outpost and his deputy to come over.

This was originally a temporary outpost with a small number of people. Including the branch command, there were only forty-three people, so Jiang Hui could control them effortlessly.

Originally, if Xi Lai hadn't contacted him, Jiang Hui planned to take over the other outpost before contacting the main tower to stabilize the situation. However, now that they've sent people directly, the plans have to change.

Jiang Hui brought three teams, totaling over a dozen people. Adding this to the original forty-odd people, that made a total of sixty, which looked quite "spectacular" when gathered together. However, they all looked stiff as zombies, hardly lively at all…

Jiang Hui understood and didn't care about that. He just urged everyone to gather together quickly, since the matter was urgent and needed to be explained clearly.

Those who had followed Jiang Hui realized that this person was not the new commander's parachuted confidant they had assumed, but the Great Demon King himself, the new commander.

No, what exactly is this person trying to do by sneaking in?! And they haven't even noticed... If they have any ulterior motives, given the other side's methods, wouldn't they be wiped out without even knowing who did it?!

Thinking about this, some people who already had some ideas broke out in a cold sweat.

Jiang Hui had no idea what these people were imagining, but she did know that some of them suddenly became inexplicably panicked, which was quite strange.

She doesn't have the time for all this scheming right now. She calculated the timeline and realized things were happening too fast; everything might clash at once. Although she was confident she could control the pace, there was no guarantee against unexpected events. Therefore, in her current planning and preparation, she needed to consider all possible changes and unforeseen circumstances to avoid being caught off guard.
