Chapter 905

You're back.

Inside the Yujin Building at night, Helena, who was flipping through a photo album, glanced at the window, where a figure suddenly stood—it was Feilong, who had mentioned leaving during the day in the office.

"Hmm." Feilong nodded, sat opposite Helena, and asked, "How's the commander?"

"How else could it be?" Helena put the album away, saying, "Under the joint efforts of Hermes and Typhon, with their communication methods, there definitely won't be any gains."

Gangqu's current fixed strategy is defensive counterattack, launching a multi-faction cooperative surveillance network; they will not act proactively before discovering the enemy's purpose.

But what's going on over there? How did Executors suddenly appear here? Isn't there still more than half a year before the attack time? Could something have changed over there?

Feilong sighed, "What could happen? It's just that the Dream Weaver, while checking the Laplace Demon's calculations, discovered that the optimal attack time had been pushed back, and thus judged that our Gangqu had become a bit lax, so she had Hermes and Tianparansi join forces to pull this off."

Hai Lun Na smiled, "Just that?"

"Just that, and when I asked the Dream Weaver at that time, her deadpan expression really left me speechless. Actually I feel our Gangqu's strengthening speed is still quite fast, even faster than before, but why do they say the attack time should be delayed?" Feilong said helplessly.

Hai Lun Na thought, "Perhaps the biggest reason is that our front line is stretched too long now?"

"Impossible, the commander's leadership of the other factions in this world is already in the plan; the Laplace Demon would certainly not overlook this. It must be due to other causes, though I asked the Dream Weaver, and she also doesn't know the specific reason."

"But she told me, our commander and that person from before are of the same kind, cannot be summarized by common sense. However, to keep the plan proceeding normally, we can only do it that way." Feilong said.

"Yeah, there are too many variables, even the Laplace Demon's calculations can't predict them." Hai Lun Na narrowed her eyes, "So will such things happen again in the future? We can't possibly let the commander become a startled bird, right? If that were the case, then our Yujin's reputation would be meaningless."

"No, but to cooperate with the performance, they will erect a stronghold in the southeast direction and station two Executors there." Feilong said.

"Heh, really putting on a full show, even planning the retreat." Hai Lun Na said.

"Yeah, doing this can dispel the commander's worries and also serve as a warning and stimulus." Feilong said.

"Alright, let's arrange it like that, and notify the commander tomorrow." Hai Lun Na said.

"Okay."

The next day in the office, Qin Ge listened to Hai Lun Na and Feilong's report and nodded involuntarily, "Thank you for your hard work, Feilong. Can we confirm that the Executors who came yesterday were at that stronghold?"

"Yes, I've already detected it; the Executors' aura inside that stronghold matches the aura left by the Executors in yesterday's sea area, so we can determine that the Executors who invaded the sea yesterday are exactly those inside that stronghold." Feilong said.

"So there are only two Executors in that stronghold? Is the hidden Arbiter who controls the Executors not present?" Qin Ge asked.

"No, and I found that some devices left by Hermes and Tianparansi remain in that stronghold, so we can determine that the Arbiter has not appeared in this world, and the Executors are operating using the devices they left behind."

"The opportunity for them to carry this out might perhaps be due to an order sent from the Arbiter." Feilong said, his expression unchanged.

Qin Ge nodded, "Perhaps only this can explain it for now, but leaving that stronghold there is also unsuitable, to avoid similar incidents happening again in the future."

"What do you think—if I order the destruction of that stronghold, would it draw the Arbiter over?"

"I don't think so." Hai Lun Na said.

"Currently, no trace of the Arbiter has been found in this world; we can judge that the Arbiter is tangled up in another world, which is why it is harassing us in this way."

"Moreover, our Gangqu is also one of the Arbiter's absolute targets; in the end there will inevitably be a battle, so we need not worry about provoking the Arbiter's anger."

"Taking out their eyes in this world will also benefit our later development; then, when they come to this world, we can strike them unawares." Feilong said.

Qin Ge nodded, "Indeed, but since we are facing Executors this time, we temporarily don't need you to go out; I can arrange people to go."

"The commander is being too distant; otherwise we could do this—we'll scout nearby to avoid any unexpected situations." Hai Lun Na said.

Qin Ge smiled, "Then you can just stand by as a reserve; this can serve as a training opportunity. Although Executors and Arbiters differ greatly, their attacks are equally sharp, allowing those who have never faced Executors to also experience this kind of combat."

"That's actually a very good idea; I suggest we bring all the newly summoned research vessels this time, as they are excellent combat power and should be honed." Hai Lun Na suggested.

"Um, okay." Qin Ge nodded, turned to look at Wei Xi beside him, "Wei Xi, notify White Dragon, Egil, Plymouth, Drake, Brest, My Wife, and the other newly summoned research vessel girls, plus Tianying, Rome, Jiyin, Tuzuo, Fog City, Ingraham, Perseus, Albion, Luzuofu, Prince Albert, Ying Rui, Yixian, Volga, Soviet Belaros, Horrible, Rosy Flight."

"Have them prepare supplies, get ready for battle, and assemble at the port."

"Yes, Commander." Wei Xi quickly turned and went to prepare.

"Using so many ships to deal with a single stronghold, isn't the commander making a mountain out of a molehill?" Feilong said, "Although our Gangqu indeed lacks no supply resources, but isn't this a waste of combat power?"

Qin Ge smiled, "When it's necessary to waste, we have to waste a bit; they are the backbone of our Gangqu, and will inevitably be the frontline attackers. The purpose of letting them participate in this battle is not simply to destroy the stronghold."

More importantly, it lets them get used to how the Executor attacks, as well as how we fight. So, as long as we keep absolute safety, only wasting a bit of resources, it's really a very cost-effective deal.

"Alright, when calculated like that, it's indeed more cost-effective." Feilong nodded.

Qin Ge laughed and stood up, "Then this time I'll have to trouble you."

"No problem, this is Gangqu's operation; we are participants too." Hai Lun Na laughed.

"Then shall we go to the harbor together?" Qin Ge said.

"Yes, Commander!"
