From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 158: Exciting Opening

During the jump of the huge fleet of the Yuge family, Amber and Isabel also simulated various emergencies that might be encountered.

After 15 days of jump, the fleet finally arrived at a material distribution spaceport in the Star Dragon Empire.

The fleet will unload and carry out basic supplies here, while waiting for the materials that need to be transported back to the Thousand Star Empire to be loaded.

Amber and Isabel transferred to another small cargo ship in the fleet and went to the planet where Isabel's family is located.

Isabel's full name is Isabel Ains, and the Ains family has always had trade relations with the Thousand Star Empire because of the relationship between Isabel and Alanita.

So according to Alanita's arrangement, this cargo ship is loaded with a batch of elven luxury goods customized by the Ains family, and this trip is to deliver this batch of goods.

The cargo ship entered the jump again with the follow-up of two escort armed ships, and Alanita also personally sat on the bridge to suppress the ship.

As Isabel's best friend and Amber's "financial sponsor", she certainly knew that the two of them were going to take risks.

Even the information sent back to the Thousand Star Empire at that time was transmitted through Alanita's channel.

During the ship's jump, the female elf also called Amber to the cargo hold.

"I know that your journey is somewhat dangerous, so I came here in person, but my protection for you is limited to this ship. There is not much I can do when you go to the surface of the planet."

In front of a cargo box somewhere, Alanita said to Amber beside her:

"You are going through customs through formal channels, and you certainly cannot carry weapons, but things like this should be of some help to your subsequent actions."

Alanita pulled out a small suitcase from the cargo box. The overall light green appearance of the suitcase and the complicated patterns of the elves made it look like a gift box.

"An elf gift box?"

"Yes, it is an elf gift box~"

Alanita smiled, then opened the gift box and took out a pure white jumpsuit with elf patterns of the Thousand Star Empire and a mask with complicated decorations.

It looked like some kind of party costume.

"Okay, I won't keep you in suspense. The gift box is just for your convenience. This dress is the protagonist."

"Hiss, you are really generous, Ms. Yuge"

Amber took a breath. He knew this thing.

He carefully took the dress and mask, feeling the fabric that was similar to the skin of some reptiles, and then slightly stimulated a spiritual energy.

The next moment, the surface of the jumpsuit and the mask seemed to be stimulated, and countless scaly patterns flashed. When it was reshaped again, it had become some kind of low-visibility combat clothing.

"The psychic combat uniform of the Elf King's Soul Gathering Inner Guard? I dare not ask how you got this thing."

"Haha, our family also participated in the development of this combat uniform. This is just a defective product."

The female elf covered her mouth and chuckled. This action caused the peaks of her chest to rise and fall, and Amber couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Of course, it is called a defective product only because the patterns in some areas are a little flawed in the normal state. If Mr. Amber uses it for "secret infiltration", it will not be affected at all~"

The normal state mentioned by Alanita refers to the state of the combat uniform when it is not activated by psychic energy, and it presents the state of the elf dress.

And this dress is also the uniform of the internal waiters of the Elf King's Court.

The Soul Gathering Inner Guards usually wear combat uniforms and mix with the waiters. They will only activate into combat mode when they need to fight.

It is precisely because of this slightly ghostly and perverted setting that these Soul Gathering Inner Guards are also nicknamed "perverted masks" by players.

After all, wearing a jumpsuit and a mask all day, patrolling in the royal court, does sound a bit perverted.

And Amber is still curious, will it be inconvenient to go to the toilet if you wear a jumpsuit for a long time?

"This psychic combat suit is adaptive in size. After being activated by psychic power, it can be switched between the three modes of 'protection', 'attack' and 'stealth'."

Alanita took out a booklet from the box and handed it to Amber. This is the instruction manual for the combat suit.

"Mr. Amber should use the 'stealth' mode the most. In this mode, you can completely disappear from the optical and infrared detection equipment you humans call. At the same time, while maintaining high-intensity psychic blessing, it can also offset your radar wave detection and psychic detection."

Amber nodded. Just as Alanita said, it would be best to use only the 'stealth' mode on this journey.

If you are forced to use the 'protection' and 'attack' modes, it means that Amber has already fought with the enemy.

Isolated and helpless on a planet, facing the encirclement and attack of all forces on the planet.

This is the difficulty level of the Hard raid in the late game.

Amber didn't want this to happen from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you, Ms. Yuge, this psychic combat suit is really helpful."

Amber expressed his gratitude sincerely. After all, on this journey home with Isabel, he didn't bring any weapons and equipment except an emergency HCP left on the freighter, so he was ready to sneak naked from the beginning.

"It's just a little effort. After all, Isa is my best friend, and Mr. Amber is also my investment target. No matter what happens to any of you, it will be a huge loss to me and my family, not to mention that I am still here. You have invested so many psychic points in me, and I don’t want to get nothing~”

Ellenita smiled and shook her head, then looked into Amber's eyes and said seriously:

"Please, Mr. Amber, please take more care of Isa."

"Don't worry, it's your job."

After another three-day jump, the cargo ship and the two escort armed ships broke away from the jump and arrived at the planet Weiminster, the fiefdom of the Irons family.

This kind of terrestrial planet, which is a noble fiefdom, generally has relatively good scenery and has some unique landscapes, so it is often a tourist attraction.

The ticket fees and various consumption incurred by tourists coming and going when visiting the planet, as well as the share given by the interstellar travel agency, are also an additional income for these nobles.

When the cargo ship docked at the space port, Amber and Isabel, dressed in casual clothes, said goodbye to Ellenita and arrived at the customs entrance like a couple on a honeymoon trip.

In the game, Amber rarely enters the planet in such a serious way.

More often than not, they reach the surface by airborne orbit, or by driving a later HCP stand-alone aircraft into the atmosphere.

But this time Amber didn't want to make any noise, because this was a covert operation with Isabel, so it was impossible to make an orbital airdrop directly from the cargo ship.

He and Isabel chose the most normal way - taking an aerospace passenger plane to the surface of the planet openly.

"Lilith, you can go out to 'fight in the wild' separately."

"As you command, Master!"

Before entering the gate, Amber gave instructions to the upgraded Lilith.

Although there is definitely no problem with the identities prepared by Ellenita for them, Amber still doesn't want to leave traces of herself and Isabel here just to be on the safe side.

Human beings in this world have fully popularized automation and information equipment, and the Internet of Everything has long been realized in the Star Dragon Empire and the Federation.

This also allows Lilith to enter the entire network and swim freely through any electronic device at the entrance.

In front of the fully upgraded Lilith, the firewall of the border inspection system was as weak as a piece of paper, and Lilith hacked in without even triggering any warning.

Then it took over all key systems including security inspection systems, personnel databases, and monitoring.

The identities of Amber and Isabel successfully passed the unmanned window test, and what was displayed in the background were 'Mr. Rebel' and 'Mrs. Rebel', and even their faces and biometrics were changed to other people's data.

But the psychic combat suit he carried still confused the security robot.

"Sorry, Mr. Rebel, we need to check this... clothes again."

The staff member who came over said with a strange expression, and Amber did not stop him and extended his hand to signal.

"It's okay, please do~"

However, after various tests, the staff still found no abnormalities in this dress, and Amber also explained that this is a precious work of art from the Thousand Stars Empire, and it is normal for you bumpkins to not understand it.

In the end, they could only decide that Amber might have some special hobbies and let them in.

Biopsionic technology is shocking.

"Did it go so smoothly?"

Isabelle asked, nuzzling Amber's ear.

"Bah, bah, bah, don't say such things."

Amber frowned. How could he say such flagrant words at such a critical moment?

The two people who successfully entered the customs cuddled together and walked to the bustling space passenger terminal. This is one of the few areas in the entire space port that has artificial gravity.

While feeling the strong popularity of the 'popular tourist destination', Amber and Isabel found that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"Amber, at two o'clock, the two people standing together chatting seem to be agents of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Isabel, the spy, seemed a bit weak in Amber's opinion, but her basic professionalism and acumen were still there.

"Well, I also discovered that there are couples at nine o'clock and a few young people with big bags and small bags at five o'clock. There should be more than that..."

Amber also discovered the agents around him. His identity as a psyker and his training as an imperial spy and a federal psionic agent gave him the same acumen.

When he turned on his psychic vision, although these agents of the Empire's Ministry of Internal Affairs had undergone professional training in lurking disguises, in Amber's eyes they were still somewhat out of tune with the people around them.

"Is this a trap?"

"Don't panic, follow me"

After realizing that something was wrong, the two of them were ready to fight. Amber had even planned the fastest escape route to the ship docking area in her mind.

If Ellenita's ship had left the port in an emergency and then forced a jump, it probably wouldn't have been intercepted.

The garrison fleets on the periphery of these planets are basically the family fleets of local nobles.

Except for a few elites, most of the training conditions are not very good, and they can barely keep up with the training level of the second and third line fleets of the Imperial Royal Navy.

At this moment, the agents of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, who were disguised and lurking in the terminal, began to take action.

Amber took Isabel to an exit without making a sound, but found that the encirclement of these Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs agents was not coming towards this side.

"Wait, it seems that they are not coming towards us."

Amber walked to a decorative green plant, and then hugged Isabel in her arms, just like many couples in love in the terminal.

However, Amber kept glancing at the direction of the agents' actions while whispering.

"The encirclement has narrowed, it seems that the target is that middle-aged man."

"Middle-aged man? Let me see!"

Isabel was about to turn around when she was kissed by Amber.

After a moment, Amber raised her head and looked at Isabel's blushing face.

"Be professional, have you forgotten what the Naval Intelligence Department taught you?"

"Humph"

Isabel stopped talking, buried her head in Amber's arms, and looked at the middle-aged man Amber mentioned as the two of them adjusted their steps slightly.

Although this person looked panicked, judging from his clothes, he was not an ordinary person.

"I think I know this guy."

"How come you know everyone?"

"Is it not good to have a good memory? When I was a kid, my family had many guests, and I still remember some of the people who came often."

Isabel rubbed her face in Amber's arms, greedily inhaled his scent, and then continued:

"This middle-aged man is the former chief attendant, equivalent to the royal minister of the interior. He is also a member of the princess party."

"How could such a person appear here and seem to be fleeing?"

Amber looked at the middle-aged man who was surrounded with some confusion.

When the agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs surrounded him, the middle-aged man finally found something wrong, but it was too late.

The two closest agents rushed over directly, and they didn't know what they did. The middle-aged man immediately lost consciousness and fainted.

The other agents took out handcuffs and shackles and put them on the middle-aged man, and put on a hood.

Although their actions of rushing people were skilled and neat, and the battle ended quickly.

But there were so many people in the terminal hall after all, so it still caused some commotion.

However, the security personnel who arrived soon dispersed the crowd in a few moves. At the same time, an agent took out an instrument and swung it, and all the images just recorded in the electronic devices in the hands of the surrounding people were cleared.

"These guys from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are still doing the same thing?"

Isabel looked at the actions of these people and couldn't help complaining.

"Won't they be complained for doing this? I remember that the Ministry of Internal Affairs mainly targeted the nobles, right?"

Amber watched these agents escort the middle-aged man away, and after a few calm glances, she retracted her gaze.

"That was the former Ministry of Internal Affairs. Since they were controlled by the Regent, these guys have long been lawless."

"Similar to the Jinyiwei or Gestapo in ancient times?"

"Let me think about it, Amber, your brain is pretty fast."

The turmoil of the Ministry of Internal Affairs arresting people quickly subsided, and the waiting hall quickly returned to calm.

There was no more turmoil afterwards. After the two successfully boarded the plane, they landed smoothly at the airport on the surface.
