Chapter 316 A Battle Between Two Sides: Who Will Win?

You mean, she single-handedly wiped out your carefully trained army?

A mechanical voice, altered by technology, echoed in the room.

Nick stood in front of a screen that was as big as an entire wall, bowing slightly respectfully, not daring to look directly at it, even though all he could see was darkness on the other side.

As the leader of the rebels, Drowell has always been mysterious and unpredictable, and few people have ever seen his true face. He doesn't even show his confidants his face when reporting to them.

[Yes, leader. Liang He's abilities are indeed astonishing. It seems that Ace and the others' deaths at her hands were not unjustified.]

Nick had always thought that the Federation's protection was too good, which was why Valken and Ace kept failing, but he never expected...

If that's the case, why was she arrested?

Drovell instantly realized the key point, and Nick, jolted awake, broke out in a cold sweat, his back trembling, and stared at the black screen with dread.

[Could she have done it on purpose? No…impossible! Rick approached her under a false identity, and had planned this for a long time; she couldn't possibly have become suspicious.]

Even if Liang He later figured out the key point, it was only after Rick's identity was exposed. Before that, how should she plan her strategy?

[When Rick found an opportunity to take Liang He away from Skalan, she did not have any further private contact with anyone during this time, nor was it possible for her to pass on any messages.]

In the eerie sea, Liang He's every move was clearly observed, and if anything unusual happened, Rick would definitely report it.

After Liang He was arrested, all of his communication devices were confiscated, and even Elius was no exception.

To contact his men, one could only do so under the surveillance of Cher and others; even the communication tools were provided by the rebels.

If you can't figure it out, then don't bother thinking about it anymore.

Drowell, as expected of the man who single-handedly created the rebel army, remained calm and composed in the face of adversity, unlike Nick, who was terrified and feared he had fallen into Liang He's trap.

If suspicion arises, take precautions early.

Even if Liang He was deliberately captured, and regardless of her purpose in infiltrating the headquarters, now that she's here, she shouldn't expect to leave easily.

As for whether there's a conspiracy involved, what does it matter? He'll just play along with her.

[To fight a thousand men single-handedly—ha, that sounds impressive, but don't forget what our real strength lies in.]

They might not be able to defeat Liang He with their bare hands, but if they were equipped with weapons and aided by ferocious beasts, could Liang He really escape so easily?
After being enlightened by Drewell, Nick immediately realized his mistake and was quite annoyed at his overreaction.

The leader is right; his subordinates were momentarily misled by her and that's why they panicked.

Nick looked up at the black screen with utmost reverence, and even though he couldn't see where Drowell was, it didn't stop him from flattering her.

[Thankfully, our leader is very shrewd; otherwise, I wouldn't have even realized I'd fallen into Liang He's trap.]

Whether Nick's compliments were genuine or not, Droville seemed to enjoy them.

He chuckled twice and began instructing Nick on the next steps, especially the banquet two days later.

[Your subordinate understands. I will take precautions for the next two days to welcome the leader back. I guarantee that not even a mosquito will be able to fly in or escape!]

As Nick made his confident declaration, the video was cut off by Drogwell. About a minute later, Nick looked up again.

At this moment, his face no longer showed the fear and trepidation he had shown before, but only the smugness that came after scheming and calculating.

Concealing one's shortcomings is the best long-term strategy.

No matter who it is, no matter how capable they are, they will be wary of subordinates who are more capable than themselves. Nick kept this in mind and never dared to overstep his bounds.

"Chel, come in." Chel, who was assigned to guard the door, immediately pushed the door open and entered after hearing the instruction, standing respectfully in front of Nick.

At this moment, it seemed as if Nick and DeRowell had switched places, and Cher was the same person he had just been.

"Commander."

"The leaders will arrive at headquarters two days from now, before the banquet begins. Keep a close eye on things these two days, especially anything unusual around headquarters, no matter how small, and report it all."

If Liang He really is working with the Federation, they will likely take action in the next couple of days, as the banquet in two days will be an excellent opportunity to make their move.

"Yes!"

Cher accepted the order and withdrew. He immediately found Asha and told her to keep a close eye on Liang He and not to cause any trouble in front of the leader, or she would lose her life.

Yasha wholeheartedly agreed with Cher's kind reminder and immediately revealed that she now brings Lianghe sleep-aid drinks every night to ensure she can get a 'good night's sleep.

"I just delivered tonight's, and I saw her drink it with my own eyes. There won't be any problems."

"That's good. It's inconvenient for you to keep an eye on her at night. She's sleeping soundly, so there's no need to worry."

Seeing that Asha had finally figured it out, Cher was much relieved and went about her own business.

Meanwhile, after drinking milk laced with sleeping pills, Liang He lay in bed, hiding under the covers, secretly contacting Hao Ni Du and the others, while Dark Night Wolf King kept watch.

Are you really not planning to leave before they get back?

Staring at the encrypted message sent in Huo An's name, Liang He didn't actually know who was asking her that question.

In fact, if she were alone, she could leave anytime and anywhere, but if she wanted to bring her family along, it wouldn't be so simple.

She, Elius, the Night Wolf King, Number Two, and the Spirit Deer Beastman...

The more people there are, the bigger the target becomes, making it impossible to leave quietly.

"Yes, I've made up my mind."

Since we can't leave quietly, let's throw a grand and unique banquet and make a high-profile exit.

The main reason is that she has been unhappy with the rebels for a long time, and she's happy to have the chance to slap them in the face.
However, I still need your help.

Liang He has absolute confidence in her abilities, but she is not an arrogant person. She is not embarrassed at all when she needs to ask for help.

No problem, we're all here. Just tell us.

These words were spoken by Landon, but unfortunately Liang He was unaware that Cedril and Landon were among the people on the other side.

Perhaps out of a desire not to distract or worry her, or perhaps to save the surprise for when they met, they both tacitly refrained from asking any further questions.

Okay, I'll do it today...

Liang He briefly told them what had happened that day, and then got to the point.

It's likely that Droville and his men have already become suspicious of her and will be on high alert. If Hoan and his group continue to approach, they will definitely notice and send more people, or even clear out and deploy defenses in advance.

My plan is simple: to use a counter-plan, a plan within a plan.

Only someone as shrewd as you could possibly understand her intentions with those words. With his explanation, Liang He doesn't need to worry about Huo An and the others not understanding.

As for the specific implementation plan, Liang He did not tell them everything, but only arranged what they needed to do.

As for the rebels stationed at headquarters, I'll handle that.
