Chapter 175: Miscalculation

[The so-called 'Life Field Probe' was installed in the aircraft...... Simple and brutal design. 】

"It is a device that detects the presence of a life field on the surface of a planet to determine whether an adversary can survive such a global killing."

"Once the life field is discovered, it means that the enemy still exists, and with the resolute style of the alien fleet, the next wave of blows will inevitably come unequivocally, and even more, the power will be even more terrifying than the previous wave."

The aliens' use of the gatherer's brain to create a 'life field probe' annoys Hogu, who decides to be responsible for the gatherers, but the annoyance is annoyed, and it still knows the big picture.

At present, its main thinking now is how to maximize the interests of its side - even if it loses, it must not lose to the point of breaking its bones.

[Hogu, what should I do next? 】

[The aliens have done what we consider to be the worst, and in terms of the force they have shown, once they notice our weakness, they can only be beaten passively, and we have no ability to fight back.] 】

Twilight's concern is understandable, now there are only two of them that their camp can fight, one is it, and the other is Hogu, but in a head-to-head battle, Twilight and Hogu have their own different weaknesses, resulting in the inability to defeat the alien fleet.

So I can only hide and fight like now, for fear that the aliens will realize their true body.

If you want to win this battle, you have to follow the plan, the fight is to give the opponent a surprise, but the plan can't catch up with the changes, the aliens' behavior is not something they can remotely control, and the current battlefield situation is already one of the extremely bad situations that were predicted when the plan was made before.

To tell the truth, after living for so long, Twilight has never fought such a humiliating 'fight', let alone thought that those 'little things' that have always been despised by it can exert such great energy, although this energy is still not up to the level of threatening its life, but the aliens did not say that this is their most powerful means of attack, who can guarantee that the fleet will not come up with a more destructive means of attack.

This is the power of 'civilization' that Hogu had spoken of before? - Twilight observed the alien Fourth Fleet, and it could already vaguely sense the intention of Hogu to warn it solemnly.

"Twilight, didn't we expect this situation before? And the corresponding countermeasures have been developed, what is there to be alarmed? ”

[What do you think is the success rate of the aliens' minds that seem to have insight into our plans, as a plan to play dead in the current situation?] 】

"No, twilight, you're wrong."

"The reason why we are so passive now is because the initiative of the battle was not on our side in the first place, compared to us, the advantage of the aliens is too great, almost one-sided, they have huge spaceships that can come and go freely in space, and what about us? Nothing. ”

"Our strategic goal is to seize the initiative in the battle from the aliens, and firmly hold the initiative, and the 'plan' was born as a result."

【…… Okay, Hogu, what do you want to illustrate? 】

"I want to make it clear that the initiative in the game of dead plan is on our side."

[Hmm...... Well?! 】

Twilight, who had just wanted to respond habitually, suddenly became suspicious, and at the same time, a strong curiosity rose in his heart, and it was obvious that Huogu's remarks had really frightened it.

Hearing the 'initiative' that Huo Gu explained just now, Twilight is not a fool, but it is still hard to believe, or I can't figure it out—why is the initiative still in the hands of the aliens in the previous plan, and after changing the plan, the initiative will come to their side?

Huo Gu knew that Twilight was puzzled and replied.

"The aliens don't know our body, and they don't know if we are dead under the blow just now, so they will send the 'Life Field Probe' to all corners of the planet's surface for carpet detection."

"As long as we don't show up and wait for the end of the life field exploration, the aliens will definitely think that we are dead as 'enemies'."

【…… That said, there's still no 100% certainty, and you can't guarantee that the aliens won't come back with another wave of attacks that could destroy the planet. 】

"I don't think they have that ability, and if they had, they should have done that, did they?"

[That's what you don't know yet.] 】

As he spoke, Twilight delivered the information to Hogu about the alien colony that still existed on the surface.

"Why are they still alive? This is impossible, obviously the surface rhizome network is completely destroyed! ”

Due to the wave of cleaning of the surface and shallow underground, Hogu does not know what the current situation of the alien colony is, but according to its subjective idea, it should have been destroyed, and the behavior of the alien fleet has already indicated the abandonment of these 'hostages'?

However, Hogu ignored that it had previously built a giant structure, the Ring Metal Mountain, and the predecessor of the Alien Shelter, the Colony Ship, which had these two points, coupled with the power calculations of the Fourth Fleet's AI, and it was only natural that it would survive that kind of planetary baptism attack.

And the message 'the alien colony still exists' is also Twilight's rebuttal to Hogu - there is a possibility that the alien fleet's offensive will be spared, and the previous offensive cannot be used as the most powerful means of the alien fleet's attack.

This also means that the risk of the put-the-death plan increases, and Hogu cannot guarantee that the alien fleet will not make up for the most powerful offensive on the planet after taking the colony population as hostages.

The premise of the initiative guarantee of the play-to-death plan is that the aliens cannot destroy the planet, and if the power of the aliens' offensive can reach the level of star destroyer, then the initiative of the play-to-death plan will still be on the side of the alien fleet.

Hogu was silent for a moment, chewing on the information it had received from Twilight and began to readjust its judgment.

The colony survived, it should not be said that it had been calculated long ago......

Suddenly, a fleeting flash of light appeared in Huogu's thoughts, like thunder and lightning piercing the sky on a summer night.

"Twilight, it seems that we can't be said to be an absolute disadvantage."

[How do you say this?] 】

"The plan is changed, and the plan of playing dead is not a very good choice, we have to take the initiative this time and turn the passive into the active."

"But I need you to cooperate with me, and my strength alone is not enough risk."

Hogu delivers his thoughts to Twilight.

The flagship bridge of the Fourth Fleet

Now that the battle is over, at least the Fourth Fleet and even the vast majority of the aliens in the colonies think so, after all, the planet's miserable situation is there, and no one thinks that any enemy will survive.

The ships of the Fourth Fleet were still at their posts because they had not yet received orders, but they had slackened some of their tense nerves, and the refuge had begun to gradually rejoice, both the joy of winning the battle for the Imperial fleet and the joy of the rest of their lives.

"Marven, how did the search for life on the surface result?"

"The probe has already been launched, and the current progress is a third of the way."

Bocaure glanced at the message sent to him by the Empire of the Home Star, and then urged Marven again.

"Can you speed things up? I remember that the probe should have been faster. ”

"This is already the fastest speed in the atmosphere at the moment."

Marven shook his head slightly, and at the same time replied angrily.

"Thanks to someone, the structure of the planet's atmosphere has changed radically, and a large number of solid particles are floating in space, and it is good that the probe can still be used."

"I'm sorry, sir, the Empire is also urging me, and I guess some people at the top can't wait to take advantage of this incident to bring me down."

Bocauer pursed his lips with a disdainful sneer.
