426: Reis's next move
Dam Zero.
"Damn it, late again!"
"Has Hafke lost his mind? Is he really going to start a large-scale war?"
Kai Silva looked at Dam Zero, which had been reduced to ruins, and punched the air in frustration.
Seeing this, Mai Xiaowen sighed as well.
"After what Reis did at the new mandel brick press conference... it's hard to expect Jacob and Demulan to do nothing about Asara."
"Unless we hadn't saved them back then..."
"But that was Reis's doing! What does that have to do with the other Asara people?"
Kai Silva turned around and spread his hands.
After saying this, he helplessly held his forehead and paced back and forth.
Deep Blue stepped forward and patted Kai Silva on the shoulder.
"Alright, Red Wolf, the urgent priority now is to stop those two sides from fighting."
"Once this kind of large-scale war begins... the death toll might not just be in the hundreds of thousands."
Hearing this, Kai Silva's brows furrowed even deeper.
"Stop them? I don't even know how to do that anymore."
"The only place left intact was Dam Zero, and we just got here, and they've already finished."
"Besides, how many people do we even have?"
"Counting all levels, we only have twenty or thirty thousand people, right?"
"And even then, hundreds of them don't know what's important and went off to find Liu Yan!"
Kai Silva became angrier as he spoke, almost on the verge of exploding.
"I just don't understand what that idiot Commander is thinking!"
Just as Kai Silva was about to explode, Golden Luna walked up.
"Alright, alright, don't be so hard on yourself. Let's stop talking about this for now and listen to the Instructor."
"Let's analyze Hafke and Reis's next moves first."
Kai Silva, who originally wanted to vent some more to cool off, looked at Golden Luna and forced himself to hold it in.
It wasn't that Kai Silva had a bad temper.
Currently, Mighty Dragon was seriously injured and unconscious, David Ferrer had sacrificed himself, Roy was missing, and Liu Yan was facing pursuit by some GTI Operators.
With all these troubles piling up, Hafke was also unleashing a crazy retaliation against Asara.
And in the end, he hadn't managed to handle any of these things well.
He wasn't angry at the Commander, nor at Hafke, nor at Asara.
He was angry at himself.
After Kai Silva calmed down, Deep Blue began the analysis.
"Looking at Hafke's current situation, their next move will definitely be to find Reis's location."
"So, we need to stand in Reis's perspective."
"As long as we know where Reis is, we'll know where Hafke will appear."
Hearing Deep Blue finish, many Operators in the line rolled their eyes.
"Instructor, the problem is we don't know where Reis is right now."
"Instructor, what you said is as good as saying nothing."
Facing the skepticism, Deep Blue wasn't annoyed but raised a hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Quiet, let me finish."
"From the news, it's not hard to see that Reis wants the hearts of the Asara people."
"But Hafke's thunderous tactics make many people unable to even believe the news is real."
"This has left many Asara people in the dark."
"After all, the Asara people in Longbow Stream Valley and Bakshi are all dead, including the current situation at Dam Zero, information is blocked."
"So, if Reis wants to stir up the emotions of the asara people and win their hearts..."
"He is very likely to take those people to see the tragic state of Longbow Stream Valley or Bakshi."
"Wait." Zoya raised a hand to interrupt Deep Blue's analysis.
"So you mean Reis will appear at Longbow Stream Valley or Bakshi?"
"Yes." Deep Blue nodded.
"Does that mean they will eventually fight at one of these two places?"
"In that case, we won't be able to get there before they start fighting, right?"
After Zoya finished speaking, Deep Blue shook his head.
"No."
"I can guess that Reis will return to Longbow Stream Valley or Bakshi, and Hafke can guess it too."
"And Reis isn't stupid; he must also be able to guess that even without SkyNet, Hafke will predict his next move."
"So, he will definitely not stay at Longbow Stream Valley or Bakshi for too long."
"If Reis has the ambition to defeat Hafke, he certainly won't choose such an open combat environment..."
"He will choose the place with the most people..."
Analyzing this far, Deep Blue suddenly looked up, frowning.
"The place with the most civilians..."
Beside him, Kai Silva and the others also widened their eyes, realizing suddenly:
"Holy crap!"
"Reis is forcing us to help him?!"
Deep Blue also let out a long sigh.
He hadn't thought of it at first either; it was something he suddenly realized while analyzing Reis's behavior.
Even if Reis won over all the asara people, could they really be a match for the technologically advanced Hafke?
Certainly not.
You have to realize, Hafke wiped out three Asara regions in succession in just five days.
Therefore, after winning over the people, bringing everyone to a city or street densely populated with civilians is the safest strategy.
That way, if Hafke wants to fight Asara to the death, he would have to kill the civilians as well.
But in this situation, could GTI not step in?
"Santorinoya..."
"Yes, Santorinoya!"
"That place has the most population, civilians, and dignitaries!"
"Reis will definitely go there!"
"Everyone, get in the vehicle! Mai Xiaowen, contact headquarters and call for helicopter reinforcements."
"We must arrive before Reis. If he gets there first and takes control of the civilians, it'll be too late!"
Hearing the words "Santorinoya," Kai Silva looked surprised.
"Wait..."
"Why does that sound so familiar..."
Seeing this, Golden Luna patted Red Wolf on the shoulder.
"There's a hotel over there called the Santorinoya Royal Luxury Noble Exclusive Hotel, it's so famous."
Kai Silva shook his head.
"I know that, of course, that's not what I meant by familiar..."
"I remember hearing a few people talking about going to the Santorinoya Hotel yesterday for something."
"Forget it, never mind, let's just get going."
...
"Oh my god!"
In the infantry fighting vehicle, Mai Xiaowen looked at her tablet in disbelief.
Seeing Mai Xiaowen's shocked expression, the others couldn't help but be curious.
"What's wrong?"
"Look at this!" Mai Xiaowen handed over her tablet.
The people in the vehicle leaned in and saw the content on the tablet.
It was a news report.
Santorinoya Royal Luxury Noble Exclusive Hotel Massacre Incident...
Breaking news, just moments ago.
"This time, Liu Yan alone... killed nearly 200 GTI Operators..."
"Isn't this even worse than last time with Lone Dragon and the others? Won't that idiot Commander fight him to the bitter end?"
"Keep reading!"
"..."
"The Hafke Garrison of the Santorinoya District arrived at the scene immediately."
"The criminal has now been taken into custody..."
"Sent to Tidal Prison immediately?!"
Kai Silva couldn't believe his eyes.
According to the news, in less than ten minutes, Liu Yan had wiped out nearly 200 Operators.
You have to know that those who went to find Liu Yan were definitely not below Black Hawk rank.
Although he didn't want Liu Yan to die, he hadn't expected it to be so damn exaggerated!
Even more ridiculous was...
Liu Yan, whom these GTI Operators couldn't take down.
Was taken down by a mere garrison unit, not even the Hafke army?
A garrison unit, isn't that just like city management officers?!
Also, Tidal Prison... once locked in there, can anyone come out alive...
"Red Wolf, I know what you're thinking right now..."
"But, compared to Liu Yan, what's more important right now are those innocent civilians."
"Going to Santorinoya this time, there is a high probability that it will be a tug-of-war..."
"As the captain, I hope you can keep your priorities straight."
Just then, Deep Blue, who hadn't spoken for a long time, reminded him from the side.
After Deep Blue finished speaking, Mai Xiaowen also weakly reminded him from the side:
"Red Wolf, don't crush my tablet..."
With Mai Xiaowen's reminder, Kai Silva returned the tablet.
"I know what to do."
"It's just... I'm a bit surprised, that's all..."
