[The so-called 'life field detector' is installed in the aircraft... a simple and crude design.]

"Through that device, we can detect whether there is a life field on the surface of the planet to determine whether the opponent can survive such a global destruction strike."

"Once the life field is discovered, it means that the enemy still exists. With the decisive style of the alien fleet, the next wave of attacks will inevitably come unambiguously. What's more, the power is probably even more terrifying than the previous wave.

.”

The aliens used the brains of collectors to make "life field detectors", which made Hogu, who decided to take responsibility for the collectors, very angry. However, it was still annoyed because it still knew the overall situation was the most important thing.

At present, what it is mainly thinking about is how to maximize its own interests - even if it loses, it must not lose to the point of breaking the bones.

【Huogu, what should we do next? 】

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

Ming's worry is understandable. There are only two people in their camp that can fight now, one is it and the other is Hogu. However, in a head-on battle, Ming and Hogu both have different weaknesses, which makes them unable to defeat the alien fleet.

.

So I can only hide and fight as I am now, for fear that the aliens will realize my true form.

To win this battle, you must follow the plan. The purpose of fighting is to surprise the opponent, but the plan cannot keep up with changes. The behavior of the aliens cannot be controlled by them. The current battlefield situation has already been predicted when the plan was made.

One of the most terrible situations.

To be honest, after living for so long, Ming has never had such a frustrating 'fight', and he never thought that those 'little things' that he has always despised can exert such great energy, although this energy is still

It cannot threaten its life safety, but the aliens did not say that this is their most powerful attack method. Who can guarantee that the fleet will not use more destructive attack methods.

Is this the power of ‘civilization’ that Huogu mentioned before? - Ming observed the aliens’ fourth fleet and could vaguely sense Huogu’s solemn intention to warn it.

"Ming, haven't we anticipated this situation before? We have also formulated corresponding countermeasures. What is there to panic about?"

[Do you think the alien’s mind, which seems to have insight into our plan, has a success rate as a way to deal with the current situation by pretending to die? 】

"No, Ming, you are wrong."

"The reason why we are so passive now is because the initiative in the battle was not on our side from the beginning. Compared to us, the aliens' advantage is so great that it is almost one-sided. They have the ability to move freely in the universe.

A huge spaceship, and what about us? We have nothing.”

"Our strategic goal is to seize the initiative in the battle from the aliens and firmly hold the initiative. This is why the 'plan' came into being."

[...Okay, Huo Gu, what do you want to explain? 】

"I want to explain that the initiative in the fake-death plan lies with us."

【Uh-huh?!】

Ming, who was just about to respond out of habit, suddenly became suspicious. At the same time, a strong curiosity arose deep in his heart. It was obvious that Huogu's remarks really scared him.

Hearing the "initiative" explained by Huo Gu just now, Ming is not a fool, but it is still hard to believe, or can't understand - why the initiative in the previous plan was still in the hands of the aliens, but after changing the plan, the initiative was gone

Are they coming here?

Huo Gu knew that Ming was confused and responded.

"The aliens don't know our true identity, let alone whether we were killed by the attack just now, so they send 'life field detectors' to every corner of the planet's surface to conduct blanket detection."

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

[...In other words, we are still not 100% sure. Hogu, you cannot guarantee that the aliens will not launch another offensive that can destroy the planet. ]

"I don't think they have that ability. If they did, they should have done that in the previous offensive, right?"

【That’s because you don’t know this yet.】

With that said, Ming delivered the information about the alien colonies still existing on the surface to Hogu.

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

Due to the wave of cleaning of the surface and shallow underground, Huogu did not know the specific situation of the alien colony now, but according to his subjective opinion, it should have been destroyed. The behavior of the alien fleet had already shown that.

Give up these 'hostages'?

However, Hogu ignored it, that is, the giant structure it built before - the ring metal mountain, and the predecessor of the alien shelter - the colonial spaceship. With these two points, plus the power calculation of the Fourth Fleet AI

, surviving that kind of planet baptism offensive is a matter of course.

The information that "alien colonies still exist" is also Ming's refutation of Huo Gu - there is a possibility of holding back the alien fleet's offensive, and the previous offensive cannot be used as the most powerful means of attacking the alien fleet.

This also means that the risk of the fake-death plan increases. Hogu cannot guarantee whether the alien fleet will launch the most powerful offensive on the planet after taking away the colonial population as hostages.

The prerequisite for the initiative in the pretend-death plan is that the aliens cannot destroy the planet Ming. If the aliens' offensive power can reach the level of planet annihilation, the initiative in the pretend-death plan will still be with the alien fleet.

Huo Gu was silent for a while. He chewed on the information he got from Ming and began to readjust his judgment.

The survival of the colony should not be said to have been calculated long ago...

Suddenly, a fleeting flash appeared in Huo Gu's mind, like thunder and lightning piercing the sky on a summer night.

"Ming, it seems we can't be said to be at an absolute disadvantage."

【How to say this sentence?】

"The plan has changed. The plan of pretending to be dead is not a good choice. We must take the initiative this time and turn passivity into initiative."

"But I need you to cooperate with me. My strength alone is not risky enough."

Huo Gu conveyed his thoughts to Ming.

Fourth Fleet Flagship Bridge

The battle is over now, at least the Fourth Fleet and most of the aliens in the colony think so. After all, the tragic situation of the planet is there, no one would think that any enemy can survive.

The ships of the Fourth Fleet were still at their posts because they had not yet received orders, but they had relaxed some of their tense nerves. The shelter was gradually filled with joy, including the joy of winning the battle for the Imperial Fleet.

, there is also the joy of surviving the disaster.

"Maven, what are the results of the search for life fields on the surface?"

"The probe has been launched, and the current progress is one-third."

Bocall glanced at the message prompt sent to him by the home star empire, and then urged Maven again.

"Can you speed up the progress? I remember that the speed of the detector should be faster."

"This is already the fastest speed in the atmospheric environment currently."

Maven shook his head slightly and replied angrily.

"Thanks to someone, the structure of the planet's atmosphere has fundamentally changed. A large number of solid particles are floating in space. It's good that the detector can still be used."

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