Chapter 401 Some Are Happy, some Are Sad

"Okay, it seems you are right, Van Fleet."

Guterres on the side also said in a daze. Although he did not know that much about land warfare, he could still understand the battlefield situation map.

It was obvious that Atlas's attack force was like water seeping into paper at this time. It could not be effectively blocked at all, and it continued to seep deeper.

The morale of the imperial defenders in Gallipol is extremely low, and under their usual high-pressure control or 'slavery' control of civilians, no civilians are willing to stand up and help them 'fight against foreign enemies' at this time. .

This also means that Atlas's combat troops do not need to worry too much about accidentally injuring civilians during urban street fighting, nor do they need to control the intensity of the firefight.

"According to the current momentum, it is estimated that the defenders of these five brigades will be eaten away little by little."

Van Fleet hugged his arms and leaned back on the chair. As an army general, he knew that there was no suspense in this battle, and a new doubt arose in his heart.

"You said Atlas didn't hide it, so why are you showing these to our two 'captives'?"

"Why do I feel like they want us to know their strength and then 'incorporate' us two?" Guterres said thoughtfully.

"Isn't this funny? A private company recruits a general from the regular army? How can he be so brave?" Van Fleet shook his head and expressed disapproval of Guterres's words.

"Didn't you just say that this company's troops are on par with the federal army in terms of equipment, combat level, and combat thinking, and even far exceed them in many aspects." Guterres said, thinking in his mind He also thought of the fleet battle he had experienced before,

"The same goes for the navy. Although Atlas's fleet is not large enough, they obviously have the ability to build capital ships, and they even built the 'super flagship'. I'm sure that will not be the last one."

Guterres' words silenced Van Fleet, and he couldn't help but recall his previous battle on Pyla 4.

"So this is really flexing their muscles to us. What if they really want to recruit us?" Under Guterres' inspiration, the federal army lieutenant general's mind became more active, and he became more and more aware of the future. What the author said seems to make some sense.

"That's something you need to consider, haha~" Guterres suddenly laughed,

"No matter what I do, I won't leave a good lieutenant general inappropriately. It's you who came to serve in this company that has been targeted by the federation. Didn't you just praise Atlas's ground forces?"

"Praise is praise, but it doesn't mean that I am really so easy to be included!"

Van Fleet wanted to say a few more words, but the hatch that suddenly slid open interrupted his words.

I saw a female elf walking in accompanied by two guards. After getting along with each other for these days, the two generals had already gotten to know this elf named Shikodi.

At this moment, Van Fleet found that he was really entangled in his heart. If the other party proposed to recruit, he really needed to think carefully.

"Two generals, the ship back to the Federation is ready." Shikodi said with a smile, and there was nothing wrong with the professional smile on his face.

The corners of Van Fleet's eyes twitched involuntarily. He was almost ready to say something like, 'Thank you for the invitation, but I, as a federal soldier, I cannot accept this invitation.'

Guterres also looked at the elf in front of him with some surprise. Although "recruiting" was just a joking term, he really didn't expect that the other party was going to release him so soon.

Seemingly seeing the doubts of the two, Shikodi continued to smile and said: "We agreed to the federal government's request and will safely return a group of senior officers, including the two of them, to the federal territory."

"Where are the others? Where are there so many surviving crew members of the Thirteenth Fleet?" Guterres asked anxiously.

"Yes, there are still so many ground troops on the Para 4?!" Van Fleet also came to his senses immediately and asked with the same confusion.

"Sorry, two generals, during the negotiations between the federal government and our company, there was no mention of other people's handling methods."

Shikodi's tone was slightly apologetic, and at the same time he looked at Guterres, and after some 'inner struggle', he slowly said: "General Guterres, you are temporarily closed during this period. A channel for obtaining information from the outside world, there is something you may not know yet.”

"What's up?"

"The designation of the Thirteenth Fleet has been cancelled."

——

"Master, you finally have time to visit me."

In the virtual space, after seeing Amber connected to the network, Lilith skillfully floated to Amber and sat directly on the latter's lap.

At this time, the 20-day Battle of Garibal was over. After clearing out more than 3 brigades of enemies, the remaining Imperial garrison in Garibal was in disarray and surrendered.

However, for a group of imperial troops led by the 'Emperor of Gallibol' - the commander of the imperial garrison, it would be better for them to simply collapse.

Because after Atlas completed control of the city, he directly began a public trial of the atrocities committed by the defenders.

Due to the battlefield recorders that were not destroyed in time and the complaints of many refugees, the surrendered soldiers who committed serious crimes such as rape and torture of civilians were shot on the spot.

The remaining accomplices, who were not willing to die for their crimes, were sent to labor camps to assist in the reconstruction of Gallipol.

Amber had just finished presiding over the execution, and after returning to the command cabin to rest, she finally took the time to come to Lilith to ask about the unmanned fleet.

Having three more unmanned fleets at his disposal was a complete surprise for Amber. He had thought that with Lilith's ability, he might be able to hack into the unmanned fleets, but he really didn't expect that this guy would directly control Lived the unmanned fleet.

"Yeah, it's been a long time since I've been here. I didn't have time to come in on the Endless some time ago."

Amber took a deep breath, and then lay down on a water cushion that appeared out of thin air. Lilith, who was pulling on him, also lay down. In the virtual space, Amber didn't care about any image issues. You can lie down however you want as long as it's comfortable enough.

"Master, you didn't just come here today just to see me, right?"

Lilith smiled and stretched out her index finger to slowly trace along the outline of Amber's jaw.

"Ahem. By the way, I want to ask about the unmanned fleet. I wanted to ask about it before on the battlefield, but the environment at that time was really not suitable."

Upon hearing this, Lilith immediately climbed up from Amber, straddling his lower abdomen, and said angrily.

"Humph, I knew it."

"By the way. I said it was by the way!"

In response to Amber's quibbling, Lilith raised her eyebrows and said nothing more. She just sat down hard in a vengeful manner. The simulated nerve signals emitted by the advanced access equipment immediately made Amber feel an unexplainable part of her body. It hurts.

Fortunately, Lilith also knew the seriousness of the matter and did not continue to 'retaliate'.

"I'll let you go for now, Master, what do you want to know now?"

"The current specific situation of the unmanned fleet, whether it has combat capabilities, and" Amber stared at Lilith's eyes seriously,

"How on earth did you do it?"
