Chapter 322 Misdirection and Surprise

　　…

　　The assassination was not carried out immediately. After all, it takes time to gather troops. Moreover, although the androids have moved their headquarters to the ground, the base in orbit is still in operation. The androids with the orbital base are well aware of any movements on the ground. Large-scale mobilization of mechanical life will definitely attract the attention of the androids, so N2 made a more careful plan this time.

　　She gathered ground troops and launched continuous suicidal attacks on the androids from several directions, trying to give the androids the illusion that mechanical life still chose to fight head-on.

　　Then secretly gather all the air forces that can be assembled and deploy them in batches around the artificial defense line, but do not let them participate in the battle. Just let them disguise as ground troops and mix with the ground troops.

　　This seems to be a more reliable deception plan, but if their opponents are still just androids, they may be deceived. After all, androids are sometimes stubborn and prone to misjudgment, which has been reflected many times in the original plot.

　　However, things are different now. The androids have humans. Although Shen Ye does not participate in the command, he still reads the battle reports. Moreover, as someone who has received military training and attended many military-related lectures, he keenly noticed something wrong when he watched the battle report a few days later...

　　…

　　Inside Hope City Headquarters.

　　After reading the battle report sent from the front line, Shen Ye fell into deep thought. He tapped the table lightly with his index finger and frowned.

　　It was the first time that the surrounding androids saw their commander with such an expression during this period of time. They all looked at him quietly. In the huge headquarters, besides the occasional beeping sound from the main control system, the only sound was the sound of Shen Ye knocking on the table.

　　After an unknown amount of time, the androids gradually became confused, but they did not dare to ask. They just looked at White at the same time. Everyone knew that White was their commander's guest. While they were envious, they also knew that she was the most appropriate person to ask at the moment.

　　Just when White couldn't help but want to speak, Shen Ye spoke first. He looked at the three-dimensional sand table projection in front of him and asked, "Did the satellite detect any other abnormal movements of the mechanical life?"

　　"Nothing more than the number of people assembled was greater than ever before," White said.

　　Then she hesitated for a moment and continued, "However, the battle report from the front said that although the number of mechanical life forms has increased, our casualties are smaller than before."

　　"Of course!" Shen Ye let out a long breath, then looked at White: "Don't you notice something is wrong?"

　　White and other senior executives of the artificial humans looked at each other and nodded, "Yes, a little bit, but I can't figure out what's wrong."

　　The androids had been at a disadvantage for so many years, and this was the first time they had an advantage. They really couldn't figure out what was wrong.

　　What they don't understand is that the casualties in their own camp have decreased. Shouldn't they be happy? Why do they feel something is wrong? Is it right that more androids have been sacrificed?

　　Of course, they didn't dare to ask such questions out loud, not even White.

　　"Go check the frequency of the mechanical life forms' air support in the past few days. Hurry up. I think they are going to make a big move." Seeing that White and the others still didn't understand, Shen Ye said it straightforwardly.

　　"Yes!" White was still very serious in front of Shen Ye when he was working, and immediately stood at attention.

　　As soon as White left, other senior android executives also started to get busy with their own things.

　　Not long after, White came back and brought a report that Shen Ye expected.

　　"In the past few days, the mechanical lifeforms have not provided any air support."

　　After saying this, White immediately said, "Commander, I understand what you were trying to say. The mechanical lifeforms must be preparing for a big move. Their air units have not moved, but they have gathered a large number of troops to fight us head-on. This is not in line with common sense."

　　If she still can't figure it out now, there's no need for the commander to continue. She should just be Shen Ye's personal maid, although this would probably fulfill her wish.

　　"So what big move do you think they are going to make?" Shen Ye asked.

　　White lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Are they trying to concentrate their air power to decapitate us? Are you their target?"

　　"It's possible, but it shouldn't be that simple." Shen Ye nodded slightly. He thought so at first, but he always felt that it was not that simple.

　　Now, the Hope City where Shen Ye is located has been completely turned into a fortress. Not only are there a large number of YoRHa-model androids stationed here, but there are also a large number of air defense equipment deployed to deal with air raids by mechanical life forms.

　　N2, who possess intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans, definitely could not have failed to think of this, so they must have other purposes.

　　"So, what exactly do they want to do?" Shen Ye continued to knock on the table, his eyes unconsciously scanning around the command center.

　　Suddenly, his eyes stopped on the headquarters' main control system, and the memory fragment about the destruction of the bunker in the game emerged in his mind.

　　"A classic feint, mislead them in one direction, then hit where they're unprepared?" Shen Ye's brows relaxed, he understood.

　　…

　　Now that he had guessed what N2 might do, Shen Ye naturally had to start making deployments.

　　He immediately ordered White to send someone to copy a new master control system and database. Of course, this did not mean that the data uploaded by the android would be transferred back into it, but it was a trap specially built for N2. So he reminded White that the copied master control system and database could only actively transmit data, but not actively export data, turning it into a cage.

　　Although this thing may not be able to lock up N2, it can at least restrict her for a period of time and cut off her connection with the mechanical life network on the planet. As long as her connection with the mechanical life network is cut off, she can be eliminated inside.

　　Secondly, Shen Ye also asked White to strengthen the defense of Hope City and withdraw several artificial human legions stationed nearby to move into Hope City. No matter what, his own safety is still the most important. Although he knows that the opponent's feint to the east and attack in the west is almost impossible to hurt him, it is better to be careful.

　　As for this, White agreed very quickly. He immediately sent people to mobilize personnel after receiving the order, and then sent people to copy a new master control system and database.
