Counterfeit Hero

Chapter 1605: Chapter 63: Possibility

When Fatty saw the flash of unguarded confusion in Margaret’s eyes that resembled an enchanted forest, he knew he had guessed correctly.

The surprise and confusion over this battle report were not only his own, but Hastings’s as well!

He turned his head, locked eyes with the little kid on the screen, and they both stared blankly at each other.

Both of them felt their minds struggling to comprehend the situation for a moment.

”What’s going on?” Margaret’s long eyelashes fluttered. She realized that things were not as simple as she had imagined. In the eyes of her grandfather and Fatty Pipi, Leefer’s sudden attack on the Bentley Duke Star System had implications beyond just affecting public opinion on both sides.

She didn’t know what they had discovered, but to her, any battle report that puzzled her grandfather, Fatty, and the little kid at the same time must have issues!

Grandfather Hastings was a generation’s Military God, unparalleled in strategic military expertise.

And Fatty was personally chosen as his successor, a series of miraculous victories from the Leray Federation to Chuckna had already proven his abilities. Not to mention, when it comes to quick and precise deduction, cunning and varied tactics, discovering opponents’ intentions, and actual command, few are the match of the creatively unbridled Fatty!

There was also the little kid, the Artificial Intelligence with a fully independent personality, humanity’s greatest masterpiece!

With the little kid’s help, the bandit army was developing and expanding with tenfold efficiency in utilizing funds and resources, their intelligence system supported strategic tactics execution beyond their competitors’ capabilities, and they were allocating combat power, transport capacity, weapons, energy, food, and medical supplies in the most economical and precise way.

Even the bandit army’s Staff Department was leveraging its power. Those complex calculations and allocations of materials, personnel, forces, intelligence screening, communication guarantees were no longer the main tasks of the staff.

In front of the console computer of the SkyNet, they could easily complete a series of complex and difficult tasks within a few minutes using nearly foolproof operating procedures. They could also easily turn their genius ideas into practical battle plans through calculations of hundreds of trillions per second.

Margaret couldn’t fathom what was so mysterious about the battle report, capable of surprising and confusing the three of them?! She stared at Fatty, her enchanting green eyes filled with questions.

Fatty, who usually wore a simple and honest expression, was unusually deep in thought, furrowing his brows tightly. After a while, he made a gesture to the little kid. The little kid nodded, and a battle schematic about Catalonia and its surrounding Star Systems quickly appeared on the computer’s virtual light screen.

The computer light screen rapidly expanded in Margaret’s gaze. Tiny stars, planets, and nebulae unfolded before her eyes and swiftly enveloped Fatty and Margaret.

Hundreds of warships from both sides seemed so close. Straight and curved cluster attack arrows crisscrossed in this virtual space, and above each fleet and in every area where battles erupted, there were extremely detailed data.

”Where did this come from?” Margaret spun around, asking in surprise. She didn’t expect Fatty to possess a schematic of Catalonia. And moreover, so detailed. It might even be as good as the most confidential schematic from Leefer’s Staff Department.

”I made it!” The little kid on the screen flashed half an eyebrow mischievously at Margaret, looking very deserving of a beating.

Margaret ignored the little kid, her lively eyes twirled around, biting her lip, she watched Fatty with a half-smile and sidelong glance. Seeing Fatty’s unaffected appearance, she lightly pursed her lips, feeling an inexplicable joy and sweet happiness in her heart.

Intelligent as she was, it was easy to understand the origin of this schematic. With Hastings’s authorization and the calculative power of the little kid, creating such a schematic was not an impossible task. Even far from the Ryan Battlefield, Pipi could use allied Ryan Battlefield directives, document reports, SkyNet data, and communication records to recreate everything in the computer.

Although this schematic couldn’t completely grasp the core of Leefer, it lagged somewhat in timeliness. However, it was already sufficient for observing and analyzing the situation at the Ryan Battlefield.

Margaret did not care about how the schematic was made; she cared about why Fatty would secretly make such a schematic.

This was a very trivial question, but it was very important to Margaret.

Perhaps because she had followed Hastings from an early age and was accustomed to the deceit and intrigue around her. Before she met Fatty, Margaret had never considered finding someone she loved as a companion for her future. In her view, being born into the Hastings family already doomed her life to be unlike those of naive little girls, possessing a wonderful prince dream.

Few people know how heavy the burden was on this girl. Although her status as the Hastings family heir and twenty years of being taught by the Military God was enough to make people insanely envious, for this girl who also had a tender heart, being born into the Hastings family and being feared was not such a blissful thing.
