Rea and Agata finally met up after the meeting. Agata didn't mention anything about Rea's sacrifice since the latter also didn't want to talk about it.
Rea did it for the sake of victory, so blaming or stopping her would just dishonor her sacrifice.
So, Agata talked about their current problem instead of the sacrifice.
"Take a look at this, we have adjusted the plan for the time being. However, I notice a few weak points in this arrangement." Agata pointed at Ava's defense area as well as the Griffith Family's. "See who comes with these two?"
"Yeah…" Rea nodded with a serious expression. "Uncle Ray's defense area is filled with a bunch of fighters. They might be good at taking the full brunt, but they're lacking firepower. Still, the fighters are good at maneuvering, so I think it's fine to just warn him about the situation. As for the firepower…"
"Should we focus our air support on this place? It will remove the weakness unless the monsters put everything they have to pass through here."
Rea shook her head helplessly. "It's better if they put everything they have. With our current number, we can still hold them back for a bit. During that time, all the people from the defense points could reinforce them, allowing us to win the battle pretty easily.
"But if they use the monsters to stop all of us, creating an illusion that they're attacking with full force… I'm afraid we will be in deep trouble when the main force arrives.
Agata looked down for a moment, contemplating.
Meanwhile, Rea was staring at Ava's defense point and realized she didn't have a balanced group.
Because she was a monster, not many wanted to fight with her. However, it didn't change the fact that Ava was the strongest Transcendent Level Expert in the base, so it wouldn't be weird if she managed to hold on even with herself.
But it didn't change the fact that Ava couldn't do everything by herself.
"Ava doesn't have a lot of fighters. She may have the firepower needed, but it's not going to work if the frontline can't stop the enemies. If we could have an equal exchange between her firepower and Uncle Ray's fighters, we would have solved this problem, but…
"Yeah." Agata nodded helplessly. That was why it was considered a problem. They had openly allowed them to change, so it wouldn't be good to change their location again. They might lose the trust of these people as well.
Agata and Rea exchanged looks as if asking each other whether they had a good idea or not.
Rea clenched her fists. "Don't forget that Teacher has been with us this whole time. I think most people think we're unable to function without Teacher.
"In other words, we are useless without him. I don't wish to show such a weakness because Teacher has chosen us because of our expertise.
"Even without him, we have to show the world that we are still functioning perfectly fine."
Agata obviously understood her concern. She and the others also had the same principle.
Agata had learned a lot about management so that she could take care of Theo's businesses. She knew her talent wasn't enough to keep chasing after Theo, but she wanted to learn many things so that she wouldn't be known as a decoration to Theo's prestige.
Maya was the same. Though, she already had that ambition before even joining the group.
The others from this group also had one goal, like Christopher, who wanted to create a music world, Coline, who aspired to be the best chef in the world, and so on.
That was why even without Theo, they were still useful.
And Agata, the one who had learned the most from Theo, was racking her brain to ensure that they didn't show any weakness.
To her surprise, the inspiration came from Rea's reminder.
"Wait a minute… We are not useless…" Agata muttered with a serious expression.
"Huh? What are you talking about? We are not useless, yes… But why do you say it again?"
"No, no. You misunderstand me. We might not be the best and a lot of our weaknesses could be seen through after some research. However, doesn't this mean our enemy will strike at our weaknesses?"
"Huh?" Agata wanted to say something but suddenly stopped as if she had understood the meaning. "So, you're saying that it's fine to expose these weak points?"
"Yes. We still have a spy in our base. So, the spy might be telling those monsters about the situation and attack these two points."
"Are you insane? Are you going to use them as traps? Ava and Uncle Ray are…" Rea wanted to stop her, but she couldn't find any other way to take advantage of the weakness or even cover it up.
And if they wanted to use this weakness, they would have to use Felix to deliver a killing blow to turn around the situation.
This was probably the tactic Theo always used. He allowed the enemies to think they had the upper hand only to shoot them down. The hit was so hard that the enemies couldn't do anything.
Rea pinched the bridge of her nose. On the one hand, she couldn't really agree with this plan. On the other hand, it made people think Theo was controlling the battlefield.
"There is also another reason why I suggest this plan. We want to measure the enemies' intelligence and the spy's understanding of Theo's tactics. If they don't attack these two points, it means the spy has understood Theo's tactic. Knowing it will allow us to create a plan to counter that knowledge."
Rea was completely speechless with this plan. Still, it would risk a lot of lives if they didn't plan it carefully.
"It seems that we have to rely on the government a lot, especially their air support."
"Yeah. Though, we can't forget about their nukes. For now, we have to make sure they don't use their nukes for various reasons."
"We'll let Akbar take care of the government. We should focus on the battle plan first."
