Jufeng had a remarkable ability to see far, not because of good eyesight, but because of a deep understanding within.
It was like the web at the last moment; if each mech was a Button, then Jufeng was the one threading the needle.
Only a skilled tailor could weave a beautiful layout, just like in today’s battle, which was painted with a perfect strategy.
All the Fleet had gathered near a planet to rest. The dust from the battlefield swirled around, and any tourists passing by in the future would likely find themselves caught up in a dramatic tale.
In this battle, both the Dragon Breaker Army and the Suihuan Army suffered minimal damage, primarily from a few artillery strikes during their entrapment and the chaotic skirmishes that ensued. However, this battle tested the resolve of everyone involved.
There were two close calls where both the Dragon Breaker Army and the Hurricane Army nearly faced annihilation.
This wasn’t exactly a post-battle summary; it was just a group discussing the thrilling skirmish in a temporary shelter on the planet.
Of course, before diving into discussions, everyone needed to introduce themselves first.
The attendees from the Dragon Breaker Army included Senior Management, with Jufeng and Ouyang Changqi, along with Chen Tan Hua, Tian Feng, and Sisi. On the side of the Hurricane Army, there were Ikeda Kenji, Tong Bailong, Five Manners, and Gou Hongbo Chang Guo Hong, while Zhu Yao accompanied Flower Snow Moon.
This gathering represented all of Jufeng’s resources, showcasing an impressive array of talent. Additionally, there was a leader of Mid-Level Red Rank present.
Among those here, there were five at the Crimson Rank, two at Tenth Rank, and others were all skilled practitioners at the upper and middle levels of Azure Level.
Moreover, both Ikeda Kenji and Gou Hongbo had considerable expertise in commanding a Battleship. The individuals in this room stood at the pinnacle of the entire Cosmos.
“I never expected that Cao Ke’s deployment would be so cunning. Not only did he set us up in an inescapable predicament, but he also prepared backup plans. If it weren’t for Brother Jufeng’s timely intervention, we wouldn’t know what kind of mess we’d be in!”
Using planets as bombs didn’t require elaborate explosives but did take some time to set up. It was clear that Cao Ke’s arrangement of planetary bombs complemented that of the Local Disruption Network.
“Indeed, what you said makes perfect sense, Tong Bailong. Such individuals are common in the assassin world; I didn’t expect that Cao Ke would be so adept at applying it to military tactics.”
Everyone wholeheartedly agreed with Tong Bailong. This situation revealed just how meticulous Cao Ke’s strategies were—his military ingenuity was astonishing. Who would have thought there would be another surprise after such clever tactics?
That local network was supposed to be foolproof. The appearance of the Dragon Breaker Army was truly unexpected. Yet even so, Cao Ke remained cautious and planted bombs along his escape route. Such meticulousness was indeed frightening.
Listening to everyone’s discussion, Ikeda Kenji turned to the silent figure of Jufeng, saying, “I’m genuinely curious—how did you notice it back then? That kind of thing wouldn’t even be specifically checked by a passing Battleship, yet you saw right through it.”
While praising Cao Ke, they were actually offering their highest compliments to Jufeng. No matter how cunning Cao Ke was, he ultimately fell short against Jufeng, who saw through his schemes and took action to resolve them.
Ikeda Kenji's question brought to light many concerns that had been lingering in the minds of the crowd. Everyone turned their gaze toward Jufeng.
Suddenly receiving the attention of the group, Jufeng, who had been lost in thought, felt a bit awkward. He scratched his head and smiled, "It was just a lucky guess."
Silence fell over the crowd as they continued to look at Jufeng.
The smile on Jufeng's face froze for a moment before he continued, "Well, to be honest, it was mostly speculation. When I briefly interacted with Cao Ke, I noticed he didn't go for the kill. That’s quite alarming. A person who should have attacked you but held back makes you think twice. If civilization were here, perhaps they would have realized this even sooner than I did."
Jufeng's latter explanation clearly gained everyone's approval; it made sense because only by knowing oneself and one’s enemy can one emerge victorious in every battle. Among those present, Jufeng was the most familiar with Cao Ke.
Seeing that a question had been answered, Ouyang Chang posed the most practical inquiry: "So what do we do next? The appearance of the Hurricane Army clearly caught Cao Ke off guard. I doubt he will take any more risks now; after all, facing these two armies, his chances of winning decisively are slim."
Ouyang Chang's statement served as an affirmation of the Hurricane Army and reflected his own sentiments. Especially after encountering those Red-Class Mecha Pilots, Ouyang Chang's admiration for Jufeng deepened significantly.
Politeness, with his hands in his pockets, added, "No matter how powerful he is, he's still a lone commander; he should be heading home with his tail between his legs."
Jufeng had been lost in thought precisely about this issue—what Cao Ke planned to do next. However, his conclusion differed from what Ouyang Chang and Politeness had in mind.
"I believe Cao Ke will not simply leave like that. While we ponder over him, we might as well delve deeper into the person behind him."
Ikeda Kenji looked at Jufeng thoughtfully and asked, "You mean Shangguan Wangyu?"
"That's right." Jufeng stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the desolate landscape outside the planet. "Shangguan Wangyu is an ambitious individual. Since he has bribed spies to allow Cao Ke to lead his army into the Star System, his intentions must be far from simple. I suspect he will take further action."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Chang flipped through recent reports from the border and said to everyone, "There seem to have been significant personnel changes along the border of the Large Magellanic Cloud recently. The Scorpion Army has been moved to a frontline opposing the First Army while other troops appear to have pulled back."
This seemed reasonable at first glance; after all, Cao Ke had already led his forces into the Magellan Star System, and there were fewer troops at the Suihuan Army's border. Thus, deploying the Scorpion Army against the First Army while tightening their defenses would prevent any intervention from the Cosmic Police.
However, Jufeng did not share this view.
He stated, "Cao Ke gives me the impression that he has everything under control as if everything is going according to his plan—even Chen Ziping's death seems to be part of it."
"Have we considered that perhaps Cao Ke's ultimate goal isn't our United Nations but rather the military—the Dragon Head Army?"
The crowd gasped at this revelation; such a possibility concealed too many implications.
"You mean," Ikeda Kenji asked uncertainly, "Cao Ke's true objective is to eliminate Xiao Hu Army?"
But why does Cao Ke want to eliminate the Xiao Hu Army? Isn't the long-distance raid meant for the United Nations?
"Does that mean the First Army is in danger now?" Ouyang Chang said anxiously.
Jufeng remained silent, as according to his own speculation, things should develop in this way. However, for some reason, he still felt an unsettling factor within him.
During the previous battle, he thought it was due to the Local Disruption Network issues, and once that was over, he would be fine.
But now that they were safe, he still couldn't shake off the feelings inside him, leaving him confused about his own thoughts.
After a moment of silence, Jufeng said, "We can't be sure for now; we need to take a look. Flowering Talent, please contact Ganwen for me. I have something I need his help with."
