Upon hearing this, the other person remained silent, only staring at her for a while with those standard model-like pupils, as if scrutinizing something.

Yara, who was usually very shrewd and diplomatic, felt uneasy under such a gaze. Her hair stood on end, as if a ferocious beast in the wilderness had bitten her neck, and she was enveloped by an inexplicable and immense terror.

Yara began to doubt whether coming here was a good choice, and whether she would end up walking into a trap.

But the arrow was already on the bowstring, and there was no choice but to release it. Even knowing that this move was tantamount to seeking help from a tiger, they still had to head towards the tiger's den.

To some extent, Yara and Serai did get along very well. No wonder they used to travel together. They both had a crazy gambler's nature deep down, only one was in the open and the other in the dark.

"Do you think I'd be short of someone like that?" the other person finally asked after a long silence.

There's hope. Despite being such a flippant question, Yara's spirits lifted.

If it were the other person's attitude just now, she really wouldn't be confident, but what she meant was—giving her room to explain? Okay, okay, she was just afraid the other person wouldn't want to listen.

“You don’t lack men, but you probably lack a way to break into the south,” the cunning lone soldier probed.

This answer seemed ambiguous but was clever, hitting the nail on the head immediately.

This time, the other person's gaze became even sharper, making it easy to imagine what a capable and efficient person this person must be in real life.

Although the other party remained silent and expressionless, Yara was able to accurately discern the other party's intentions from the unusual atmosphere.

Sure enough, the fact that this person risked showing up as soon as they received the signal had a certain purpose—wouldn't it be better if they simply ignored her or even captured this "prey" who had walked right into their trap? However, the other party chose to stay and engage in a completely unequal dialogue with her.
Although Yara was reluctant to admit it, it seemed that the other party was indeed very interested in the enemy who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Of course, that's fine too, as long as they're interested. This way, they have a common "enemy" or, to put it another way, a common goal.

but--

Yara found this person to be quite difficult to communicate with. Compared to Xilai's intermittent mania or the few defeated opponents she had briefly met before, this person was genuinely aloof. Even though he didn't talk much, he was very intimidating, and his eyes were quite frightening. Of course, it was also because Yara was currently in a completely inferior position and could only bow her head, so the process of waiting to communicate with him was naturally extremely difficult.

Just when Yara thought she had guessed his thoughts, the other party fell into a silent state again.

The meeting room was eerily quiet, so quiet you could almost hear your own heartbeat, thumping softly. As for why it wasn't the other person, it was frightening. The more you looked at this person, the less they seemed like a living person. How could someone's emotions be so stable? Was this a robot?

"Go back and consolidate your forces. My men will join you in about a week, and then we'll head straight for the heartland." After a period of agonizing waiting that Yara had endured, the other party finally spoke.

Does this mean they've accepted her surrender?! This is truly a test of mental fortitude. But what does "directly attacking the heartland" mean?
What is the hinterland? Naturally, it is the very center of the land. The hinterland of the examination hall is the inner circle, the hinterland of the inner circle is the central region, and the hinterland of the southwest is... So the other party is not pointing to the one from the west, but to the newly emerged one!
Yara was indeed forced to seek another path because of G's relentless pressure. She was unwilling to be devoured like this, so she turned to L.

When asked why she didn't just eliminate G and take over, instead joining L's side, wouldn't that be being subservient to someone else? Of course, it's because she couldn't beat him.

That guy appeared out of nowhere, like a sudden, powerful gust of wind sweeping away everything around him like autumn leaves, catching them completely off guard.

They had considered retaliating and reclaiming their territory, but the difference in strength was something that strategy and tactics couldn't bridge. They couldn't even defeat Xilai, let alone the much stronger and more powerful G.

Moreover, that person didn't give them any buffer time at all, and directly and violently pushed forward, leaving them with nowhere to go.

Xilai was slightly better off, as he had a stronger foundation. Yara, however, was not so fortunate. Her strength was inherently inferior to Xilai's, and she relied on strategy, employing guerrilla tactics and trickery against him. However, it was clear that—

This new neighbor is no easier to fool than Xilai.

Yara probed the enemy briefly and realized they weren't going to leave them any way out. Even if they were, given the enemy's aggressive stance, surrendering would likely leave them with little, and there was no guarantee G wouldn't back down. Therefore, Yara decided to take a risk and try a different path—the best option at the moment was to find a powerful backer.

The power distribution in the south is quite simple. Aside from the immediate enemy near Yara and the east, where information is scarce, there's only one route left: L. There really aren't many other options.

After a series of roundabout communications, the two stood on this land.

In fact, Yara was quite uneasy until just now, because she had no other choice—choosing L was a last resort, and she wasn't sure if the other party needed them to add flowers to the flowers.

Fortunately, she guessed correctly. The other party was indeed very interested in G, even more so than in Xilai, with whom she had been fighting for so long. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come knocking on her door so soon after unifying the central region and before she had even settled into her position.

I know you're very interested in G. But wait, buddy, can you calm down a bit and not just come knocking on their door?! The other side is a ruthless guy who's been lurking for over ten stars and just came up and cornered him and Xilai.

It's not that Yara is trying to boost the morale of others while belittling her own; this is simply the reality of what she's experienced over the past few weeks. Yara has personally witnessed this "neighbor" who suddenly appeared, codenamed G, and he truly kills without shedding blood; often, you lose to him without even knowing why.

For example, her independent and elusive style, which allowed her to easily fall into the hands of her opponent, was easily countered by her former subordinate, and Xi Lai also lost a 011 in the same way. It's just that most of them hadn't seen it with their own eyes before, so their understanding wasn't very clear.

After several more losses, they realized that no matter how many they threw at the enemy, they would be taken without hesitation, like a ruthless predator. Only then did they truly understand what a terrifying enemy G was.

Oh? No way! She didn't want to get caught up in the mess, so she found herself a backer. But now this new backer seems eager to pounce on G and fight him head-on. As for those of them caught in the middle, their situation seems to have become even more dangerous.
