Opinions

The Intellect were having a lively discussion, expressing different opinions based on their own styles and perspectives. However, the topic seemed to circle back to the starting point: the problem that was giving Rowan a headache.

If the situation of "Ying" is not disseminated, it will be difficult for the Star Sea Alliance's alien races, who cannot truly feel the crisis, to reach a consensus.

"Actually, I feel that even if those foreign races in the Star Sea Alliance knew about Ying's situation, it wouldn't be of much use. Their civilizations and relationships are too complex, and their distribution is too vast, making it impossible for them to unite effectively."

"That's right, those foreign tribes are not trustworthy at all. If Yingzhen really comes to our gates, we only need to offer a little something. Given the choice between the possibility of annihilating our tribe in the future and annihilating it immediately, you can imagine their choice."

"From this perspective, their goodwill and the Alliance seem somewhat cheap."

"That's true. In fact, their combat strength isn't that strong. If the Epoch Clan and those Inner-Ring Civilizations hadn't intervened, we would be facing our limit right now."

"That's true. The Coalition Army at the front lines include the Lashudia Clan, which is known as the number one civilization in the Central Circle, as well as several other top-ranking Mid-Ring Civilizations. Even if their fighting strength were increased several times over, it wouldn't amount to much."

"We must not be careless. Their combat strength is still very strong. If the Overlord does not want to unlock new tactics and troop types, we may not be able to defeat them."

"However, their value is not as great as we imagined. Our current enemy is confirmed to be Ying, and the combat power of these middle and Outer-Ring Civilizations is dispensable in this level of combat."

"I think instead of going to great lengths to spread information about Ying, we should just let things take their course and cripple those foreign tribes. After all, Ying is using us to buy time. And what we lack is time. To some extent, we and Ying can reach an agreement on short-term strategic goals."

"That makes sense. Since they aren't very valuable, we shouldn't worry about future the Alliance and relationships; we should just go for it. Our Swarm doesn't need vassals, let alone allies, and they probably wouldn't agree to be vassals anyway."

The discussion among the Intellect started with the doves speaking, but gradually the hardliners gained the upper hand and took the initiative.

Since Rowan established branch bases in other star systems, the hardliners, now free from worries, have become increasingly arrogant. They see all weaklings as simply targets, deeming any further words a waste of time and energy.

However, there is some truth to what these guys are saying. In the early days of the Swarm, when they first discovered the Star Sea Alliance, any one of its members was a behemoth to the Swarm.

Even a super weak race like the Duoqi Race could inflict huge losses on the Swarm with just a small mobile fleet. If it weren't for their home advantage and faster reinforcements, the losses in that war would probably have been even greater.

Therefore, to the Swarm, the Star Sea Alliance was a behemoth, and the other races were also numerous and powerful. At that time, Rowan did not yet have the ability to establish branch bases in other star systems, and the Star Sea Alliance truly had the ability to completely annihilate the Swarm.

Therefore, Rowan was extremely cautious, walking on thin ice with every step, worried about provoking enemies he shouldn't and attracting a large army. That period put considerable pressure on Rowan and had a significant impact on Rowan, to the point that even now, when dealing with certain situations, Rowan hasn't quite shaken off that mindset.

But the Intellect are different. Not to mention those Intellect from the Rat-folk and the Riken Race, as the Swarm and the Star Sea Alliance began to make contact, the old infiltration methods, coupled with the erosion of Life-Extending Serum and the like, were used.

The number of races from which the Intellect originate is also increasing, and in the eyes of these races, the Swarm is powerful. Especially as time goes by, the more advanced the Intellect become, the more powerful their original forms' impressions of the Swarm become.

Therefore, these Intellect who did not experience the period when the Swarm was weak were actually better able to White Grub Swarm's current position and see its strength than Rowan.

However, after hearing these guys' comments, Rowan, who had been silently watching everything, finally realized that if they wanted to expose "Luminous's" situation, relying solely on the Star Sea Alliance's own system, the chances of success were almost zero.

To achieve this, Rowan believes the most reliable approach is to find the organizations behind the scenes and leverage their existing information dissemination systems to expose the matter.

However, this is quite difficult. First, finding them is a major challenge. Second, there needs to be some evidence to prove that Rowan's claims about "Luminous" are true. After all, you can't just let them risk their lives based on empty words. After all, "Luminous" is not someone to be trifled with. Moreover, the Star Sea Alliance and the Swarm are still at war.

If no evidence is provided, the other races will surely believe this is a counter-espionage plot by the Swarm. But evidence is not so easy to provide. Regarding the "Luminous," everything is just Rowan's deduction; there is no conclusive evidence whatsoever. Moreover, the location where the evidence was found is thousands of light-years away from the Swarm territory.

For the Swarm to discover anything in such a place, it must possess its own intelligence system. So how does the Swarm's intelligence system infiltrate such areas?

The crux of the matter is chilling to contemplate. This self-exposure might not only fail to achieve its original purpose but could also have the opposite effect. In the end, instead of achieving the goal for the "Luminous" The Alliance, it could escalate the insect war to several levels.

Moreover, their communication system might be successful in small-scale, clandestine exchanges. But once they start publicizing, it will inevitably expose some people. "Ying" has the means to switch "insiders," and once it catches a few, the consequences will be unimaginable if it follows the trail.

Cecil's previous exposure implicated countless individuals and revealed the extent of the damage done to that organization. If they suffer significant losses, they will undoubtedly become more cautious. Even if the Swarm provides the necessary evidence, the likelihood of achieving cooperation is extremely slim.

At that time, the Swarm, as the initiating party, might even be subjected to some unreasonable demands, so what's the point?

However, if they don't rely on the Star Sea Alliance's own resistance organizations and instead rely solely on the Swarm to complete the propaganda mission, Rowan's only idea is to utilize the relationships between Intellect to spread the message on a large scale simultaneously.

However, doing so would inevitably expose a large number of Intellect, and if any of them were damaged, the losses would be far greater than the gains.
