Counterfeit Hero

Tian Xingjian was busy to death, a steady stream of battle plans was sent into the 6th Research Room, and everyone, including intern Carl, was assigned a massive amount of calculation tasks. Those advisors who initially just watched the fun were now too busy to pick out mistakes; they even hoped that Fatty could spot the flaws in their plans. After all, this battle was too important. If Kato was lost, the Federation would completely lose its strategic initiative.

The meeting at the forward command had been going on for four hours without any sign of stopping. Frontline battle reports kept coming back one after another, and everyone in the battle plan department was giving their all. The Imperial Army’s offensive was too fierce. The frontline defenders were almost exhausted, yet the enemy showed no sign of stopping, with their attacks coming in waves.

Where did they get their troops?

Fatty stared at the computer data for the calculations while desperately thinking. The Empire’s offensive clearly wasn’t normal. According to the simulations and known intelligence, the Imperial Army’s gathered forces were not enough to sustain such a high-intensity offensive in the Jialuo Mountain Battlefield! As the attacking side, their losses were much greater than the defending Federation Army, who had the high ground advantage. Until now, this level of attack had not ceased for a moment. Where did they get their troops from? Why launch such an apparently unprofitable attack on the tough nut of Jialuo Mountain? And their commander was a renowned military strategist in human society, known for his calm mind and cunning, varied tactics!

For the first time, Fatty felt that his brain, which usually burst with countless inspirations when his life was threatened, was not enough. Overthinking made his head hurt badly.

Another frontline battle report arrived. The 16th Armored Division, originally stationed behind Katos Canyon, had also been pulled to the frontlines. This was one of the main reserves of the Jialuo Mountain front! It was unclear if the Special Reconnaissance Group had been pulled up as well. In such frontal battles, special soldiers did not hold much advantage over ordinary soldiers; it was a complete waste.

The Mythical Army appeared again. Since the start of the Empire’s main offensive, this monster’s presence was seen on several high points of Jialuo Mountain—this time at Hill D1. If the 16th Armored Division hadn’t reinforced quickly, a battalion of [Demon Tiger] forces would have almost taken the position.

The Empire now resembled a fierce boxer, continuously attacking the opponent with left jabs, while its hidden right hand, set to deliver the heaviest hook punch to knock the opponent down, was still unpredictable.
