When Outcast and ACE returned to Kanna's room, they saw Kanna sitting in front of the projector, holding sunflower seeds in her left hand, a soda in front of her, and her right hand constantly writing something on the table, while her eyes were fixed on the screen in front of her.
"Where did you get all this stuff?" Outcast asked, her brow slightly furrowed, after walking up to Kanna.
However, in consideration of the thick stack of freshly written notes beside her, the slightly neat-freakish Outcast endured and didn't touch the items in front of Kanna.
"Grandma Outcast, do you know who is the easiest to talk to on Rhodes Island?" Kanna, her eyes still on the screen, didn't answer Outcast's question. Instead, she threw a question back.
"Amiya?" ACE beside her said with certainty, after all, who didn't know that Amiya was the most warm-hearted little donkey on all of Rhodes Island.
"Amiya counts too, I guess, but she has a lot of her own things to do, so generally, you wouldn't ask her for help with something like this... So, wrong answer!" As she spoke, Kanna grabbed her soda and began chugging it down.
"You haven't left the room?" Outcast looked at the ground and found no footprints. Moreover, Kanna had been sitting there before they left, and her position hadn't shifted when they returned.
"Of course! Because there were so many videos to watch, I didn't have much time, so I asked her to help place them in front of me!"
After hearing Kanna's words, both of them were a bit confused. After all, the absence of footprints on the ground proved that either the person could fly or was a master of stealth. But if they were talking about someone good-tempered enough to bring food to Kanna and even hand it to her, then there was only one answer.
"Rosmontis? Shouldn't she be in the Medical Department for a physical check-up?"
"What? Rosmontis is having another check-up? No wonder I haven't heard from her since morning..." ACE had originally been quite confident that her answer couldn't be wrong, but she didn't expect Kanna to seem even more surprised than herself after she gave the answer.
It wasn't Amiya, nor was it Rosmontis, and they left no footprints and had to be good-tempered... This stumped the two of them. When did Rhodes Island get another mysterious expert?
"She's been in the room the whole time!" Kanna suddenly said.
"What!" Hearing this, the two couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end. They had been in the room for about four or five minutes, yet they hadn't even realized there was a fourth person in the room.
Just as the two were suspiciously looking around, trying to find a fourth person in the not-so-large room, Kanna sighed.
"That's why I say, you're looking too high. Haven't you considered looking down...? Miss Lancet-2, please serve a juice soda to each of these two adults, thank you!"
Following Kanna's words, the robot that had been parked in the corner suddenly lit up. "Command accepted. Medical Robot Lancet-2 is at your service. May I ask if the two officers require a medium, large, or extra-large soda?"
Seeing Lancet-2 move, the two nervous Elite Operators couldn't help but look annoyed, feeling as if they had been tricked by Kanna, the little brat.
"A medium will be fine. The same for this lady, please... By the way, why is Lancet-2 here? Normally, the only places you see her are the Medical Department and the Engineering Department, right?" After receiving the soda delivered by the medical cart, ACE asked doubtfully.
"Beep! This room has a built-in charging station for engineering vehicles, so in situations where power is insufficient to return to the Engineering Department, it will choose to come here for emergency charging." After hearing Lancet-2's words, the two suddenly understood.
"Alright then, you go ahead and continue charging. We won't disturb you..." Even though it was just an intelligent robot, since Kanna treated it as a "person," ACE was very polite when speaking.
"Beep! Mission complete. Continuing power replenishment." Hearing ACE's words, Lancet-2 turned and returned to the corner.
Outcast reached out and gently flicked Kanna's forehead. "Well, well, you can even make friends with an engineering vehicle. It seems I underestimated you."
As she withdrew her hand, Outcast picked up a set of notes and began reading. The more she read, the more astonished she became. Although some of the ideas were naive and the style overly aggressive, there was no doubt that the content pointed out in the notes was extremely incisive.
"Let's pause for a moment. Did you write this notebook yourself based on the first combat record?" Outcast shook the notebook in her hand and then handed it to ACE.
"Of course! I haven't moved from this room, so it's not like I could find the answers to copy them!" As a top keyboard warrior, Kanna adhered to the saying, "a giant in thought, a dwarf in action." From the very beginning of reading the combat record, she criticized its contents with a very picky eye. So, rather than calling what Outcast held a summary, it was more like a ranting record composed of five parts criticism and five parts nitpicking.
ACE quickly scanned the summary in his hand. Although this summary could be described as very venomous, its contents criticized both sides of the battle as utterly useless. However, familiar with the content, he recalled the scenes from the combat record and was surprised to find that Kanna's summary actually made five or six points of sense.
"Then let me ask, right here, if you were the defending side, what decision would you make?" Outcast pointed to a section and asked.
Kanna looked at it. This section described how the defending Victoria army learned that the rebel rioters had appeared not far in front of them. In the record, the Victoria commander felt that his regular army fighting a group of farmers with hoes was a simple matter of a frontal assault, requiring no special tactics. So, they didn't conduct any reconnaissance, and as a result, they were lured deep into an ambush by the rebels and surrounded. If not for the timely arrival of support troops from the rear, this regular army would have likely been completely swallowed by the rebels. Even so, their losses were heavy.
After reading, Kanna sat up straight, looking confident. "This is actually very simple. If you follow normal thinking, a regular army facing rebels has an unparalleled advantage in equipment. So, with a sorcerer's reconnaissance drone leading the way, the team would advance slowly in three groups—front, middle, and rear. Any group under attack would receive support from the others. Steadily pushing forward would guarantee victory."
