The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 744 Tacit understanding
Outsiders only see the results, but the process is something that Jiang Hui, the person involved, has to worry about.

Jiang Hui had already made up her mind that no matter who won or lost between her and Clarence, it would not affect the overall situation of the battle between the two armies.

Well, it's impossible for it not to have an impact, since as commanders-in-chief of their respective armies, it's already quite extraordinary for them to engage in battle. Regardless of who ultimately loses, it will be a devastating blow to the other side.

But who wins and who loses is a struggle and a choice between them. At the same time, she also wants to do her best to arrange things for her subordinates so that they can get the points they deserve under the unified enrollment rules.

After all, she hadn't forgotten the nature of this unified recruitment; it was still a talent selection competition. For her, it might be over once it was over, but for some people who saw it as their only chance, if they failed here, it would truly be the end for them.

She can't be so willful.

One cannot selfishly treat this place as one's personal stage or a playground for personal training and experimentation.

When she agreed to become the leader of the team, she took on the responsibility of leading everyone to victory and helping herself to achieve the greatest benefit.

Therefore, even in the most critical moment, Jiang Hui still managed to edit and arrange the team normally, trying his best to guide the team to gain the upper hand in the battle against Clarence.

However, the leader is the soul of the team, and no matter how well Jiang Hui arranges things, her actions will still have a significant impact on the battle.

Clarence gained the upper hand, which threw Jiang Hui's side into disarray, but she eventually managed to bring them under control.

Of course, the opponent was no pushover either. Having gained the advantage, they were bound to make a move and almost broke through Jiang Hui's defenses several times. Fortunately, 556 led his men to stabilize the formation.

During their battle, the entire battlefield was constantly in conflict. Relying on the leader's vague instructions, the two sides went back and forth, and for the time being, neither side could gain the upper hand.

However, just as Jiang Hui predicted, Clarence was strategic and his overall ability was no less than any of his friends, but his ability to be alert and adaptable was indeed slightly lacking.

—Or perhaps it should be said that this is inherently limited by his personality. He always seems to lack attention to detail. When things are going well, the big picture is not apparent, but once things unfold, it naturally becomes clear.

In an effort to gain the initiative, he also adopted an arch-shaped battle formation, which was difficult to control.

Before the disadvantages became truly apparent in the later stages, the formation changed, and the team members scattered completely, no longer forming a group but scattered in small, fragmented groups.

Jiang Hui had made arrangements in advance, and 556, as her agent, was quite capable, so the team maintained good overall cohesion. Furthermore, while Jiang Hui was engaged in a tug-of-war with Clarence, 556, following Jiang Hui's instructions, started from the B route, using the central route as a pivot, further disorganizing the already scattered enemy forces and gradually chipping away at their strength.

Therefore, long before Jiang Hui and Clarence were determined to win, Jiang Hui's side had already subtly gained the upper hand with a slightly superior formation. This was also Jiang Hui's last safeguard for everyone; regardless of whether she ultimately won or not, she hoped that those who had seriously participated in this great battle would at least reap some rewards.

When Jiang Hui's counterattack completely crushed Clarence, the troops behind him were further encouraged and quickly took control of the battle, directly breaking through the enemy's center line. Clarence's side, already extremely scattered and leaderless, was powerless to turn the tide.

"Keep pushing forward, don't let your guard down. Report any developments to me immediately." Jiang Hui briefly answered the 556 communication call, adjusted her closing strategy slightly after assessing the battle situation, and then looked at the motionless mech lying at the edge of the battle zone. From the outside, she probably appeared to be admiring the fruits of her victory—her spoils of war.

But in reality, Jiang Hui was observing, thinking, and carefully considering whether this special enemy had truly lost its fighting ability.

It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like only a short while had gone by—

After a long while, she finally maneuvered the aircraft forward.

In this light, the system's corrective rebound force is indeed a terrifying mutual force. The S-class mech piloted by Clarence is incredibly strong and durable. Although it is essentially just a data link, its performance and characteristics are still about 60-70% accurate.

But looking at this fire-attribute S-class mecha now, its legs were severed by chains from the calf to just above the knee joint, the turbines on the outside of the legs were damaged, the front and rear wheel discs of the hip were misaligned, and one arm was crushed into fragments during the collision. Moreover, even the rear support pillar seemed to show signs of bending and breakage. In this state, the mecha could be considered completely useless. That's why Jiang Hui felt safe to approach. As for what she was going to do there?
—Only she herself probably knows the answer.

The "chain battle" just now not only destroyed Clarence's mecha, but Jiang Hui's mecha was also badly damaged, especially the side of her arm that was bound by chains, which had deep marks and misaligned internal structures, making it impossible to operate it precisely with that arm. Fortunately, she didn't have much time left in the tournament, and there were almost no occasions when she needed to use this mecha, so its destruction was no big deal.

Jiang Hui reluctantly switched to his other hand, bending slightly to touch the S-class cripple lying on the ground.

Just then, an unexpected event occurred.

The mech that was initially thought to be incapacitated and limp on the ground suddenly attacked Jiang Hui directly above him with lightning speed—using its only remaining intact arm.

The opponent's movements were too fast, heavy, and urgent. The punch carried billowing flames and violent energy, suggesting that this strike gathered all the remaining energy of the entire machine. If this attack were to land, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, it was too late for Jiang Hui to remember or lean back at this point. The massive machine was not like a human body, which could be precisely controlled or even manipulated to a certain degree.

As this final, resentful blow, imbued with the last of its power, was about to strike Jiang Hui's face, the hearts of those watching the commotion were in their throats.

But things didn't go as they expected.

Jiang Hui didn't dodge at all. She only slightly tilted the mecha's head, and at that subtle angle, the fist grazed her ear and she dodged it. At the same time, she also used her other arm, the only one that could move freely, and slammed it down vertically, smashing it into the ear of the mecha below.

"bump--"

The mecha was directly connected to her senses. Although she couldn't actually hear the sounds outside the mecha with her own ears, the sounds materialized by energy exploded in her ears instantly, accompanied by the hissing of flames. It was a truly indescribable experience.

A hush fell over the scene; everyone seemed momentarily stunned by the sight. Why did their actions seem so strangely synchronized?
