Chapter 405 The Missing Old Emperor

Amber didn't know that the Federation had set its sights on Lilith and himself. After all, he was not a prophet who could predict everything.

Although he knew the direction of the plot in the game, to be honest, at this stage, many plots had changed, and the golden finger of "knowing the plot" was becoming weaker and weaker with the passage of time.

So he had to deduce the future situation based on his own experience, with the help of Lilith, and make decisions on the development of Atlas.

And this period of time also made him feel what "time flies by". Four months passed almost in the blink of an eye. Atlas also continued to deploy troops on Pyra IV, eventually reaching nearly 80,000 people, which is the current maximum sustainable scale of the "army group".

And such a large-scale recruitment of Roma people directly rushed to the front page headlines of major media in the Thousand Star Empire. The equal rights faction among the elves celebrated and claimed that this was the biggest victory since the fight for equal rights for Roma people.

The conservatives were so angry that it seemed as if Amber had dug up their ancestral graves. Several leaders jointly expressed their intention to boycott Atlas and their partners in the Thousand Star Empire, that is, the Yuge family behind Alanita.

Of course, this boycott is also nonsense. Not to mention that Atlas now has no other business dealings in the Thousand Star Empire except for hiring soldiers, the Yuge family has long been ranked among the top three chaebols and does not care about this boycott at all.

As for the lying flat faction headed by the Elf King Court, well, they continue to lie flat.

Their attitude even made Amber a little curious. Where is the "red line" of these guys?

This ground force, known as the "Atlas First Army", consists of a total of 12 combined brigades.

In addition to the two main brigades, the other 10 brigades are new troops participating in the war for the first time. This time they were deployed on the Pella IV just to train soldiers in battle.

Although many of the 10 newly formed combined brigades are not fully staffed and combat vehicles are still being replenished, it is quite fast to have so many soldiers in four months in Amber's opinion.

After all, these combined brigades are formed from scratch, the personnel are trained slowly in recent times, and the equipment is produced by Atlas Industries in an expedited manner, so it is not a problem that the overall combat level is still a little bit worse.

The various stragglers, warlords, and thugs on the Para IV are just right for them to practice, and they can also gather enemies of various types, compositions and sizes at one time.

Of course, they did encounter various problems at the beginning, such as the firepower battalion under a certain brigade got lost during the transfer and maneuver. If the brigade headquarters that had been monitoring the maneuver of the troops had not discovered something wrong in time, these twenty or so 155 self-propelled artillery might have plunged into the killing zone of a federal remnant.

For example, during the attack of a combined battalion under a certain brigade, the battalion headquarters was out of touch with the main force, and the armored command vehicle where the battalion commander was located was directly stuck in the quagmire.

Then, the Minotaur battalion commander left a few people to guard the equipment and wait for the friendly forces that followed to help recover it, and then he led the people in the battalion to pursue the troops on foot.

After the ground force commander, Wolf-headed Hogg, learned about this incident through reports from various levels, he was so angry that he shouted in the command cabin vehicle, "I want to eat beef tonight!", which later became a "classic quote" in the future.

Such problems, big and small, can be said to have occurred every day in the past four months, and Amber has gradually become calmer from the "daily explosion" at the beginning.

As long as the troops can learn lessons from these accidents and not make the same mistakes again in the future, it can be regarded as a good thing.

After all, the intensity of the battle on Pella IV is not high, so in the eyes of Amber and a group of commanders, it is more like a "training ground" in a real environment than a battlefield.

"Bleed more in peacetime, save your life in wartime." It soon became the consensus of the commanders of various troops.

In the end, with the support of the fleet, 12 synthetic brigades attacked in a dispersed manner and swept the entire Pella IV in four months.

Except for some enemies who resisted stubbornly and hid in the deep mountains and forests, the rest of the remnants of the Empire and the Federation surrendered or died in battle.

As for the imperial noble who had a fiefdom on Pyra IV, Amber did not directly send troops to take him down, after all, it was a legal fiefdom granted by the imperial family.

However, under the pressure of the army, the imperial noble quickly lifted the blockade and martial law of the territory, allowing the civilians under his rule to enter and exit freely.

As a result, on the day of lifting the blockade, the civilians in the territory almost fled with their families, which shows how many inhuman things the noble had done during this period.

In the end, because there were too many refugees fleeing, Atlas had to temporarily set up a refugee camp nearby to accommodate them.

In short, without the Federation and the Empire coming to "disturb", Amber can be said to have completed a large-scale military training on Pyra IV with peace of mind. While controlling all key areas, it also restored basic production activities on the planet at the fastest speed.

At the same time, during these three months, places other than Pyla IV were also "exciting". ——

"So the old emperor has been critically ill for so long, and he is still in critical condition?"

At the routine intelligence communication meeting, Amber suddenly asked while listening to Isabel's report.

When Isabel heard this, she almost spit out the water she had just drunk to moisten her throat. .

"Amber, although I am yours now, I was still an imperial noble before."

"Ahem, I'll pay attention next time."

Amber scratched his head in embarrassment. He also realized that what he just said was as outrageous as asking the princes and nobles in the late Qing Dynasty, 'Is your Emperor Guangxu dead?'

However, after staying with Amber for so long, Isabel has long lost the habits of the imperial nobles, and her words just now were half a joke and one half angry.

"I'm kidding~ But our Intelligence Analysis Center has paid attention to your problem, Amber. Since the Star Dragon Empire royal family officially announced that the old emperor was critically ill and was transferred to the underground of the Grand Palace for treatment, there has been no other news. Out.

All affairs of the empire are also presided over by Her Highness Agnes and the Prince Regent, including the empire's general mobilization order, which was also signed by Her Highness Agnes. "

“This is a bit strange”

Amber rubbed her chin and thought, her brows wrinkled unconsciously.

In his memory, the old emperor Frederico should have died not long after he was declared critically ill, and the regent also took advantage of this opportunity to launch a coup.

Although the appearance of himself and Atlas changed the war situation between the Federation and the Empire, and finally allowed the regent to temporarily postpone the coup, it would not bring back the old emperor's life anyway. Bar?

Amber rummaged through her memory palace carefully, hoping to find some information that she had missed.

But since this plot happened before the player entered the game, no one has actually experienced it. Only the background setting of the game and the official prequel novel mentioned this period of history.

Then, a plot I once saw while reading the official novel all night was recalled.

It was mentioned in this plot that the Regent's army had experienced a great battle in the Empire's capital system, and the targets of the battle were not just Duke Sauron who came to 'King Qin' and 'Old Saint-Saunière Zhengxing Longqi' 'We, there is another unknown enemy

For this 'enemy', the description in the novel is also very vague. It does not use adjectives such as 'a large army' or 'a team of elite soldiers', but 'an enemy'.

But after the battle, all the forces in the history of this "Capital War" were unwilling to mention it, so the various details of the battle were not clear to begin with. In addition, the soldiers who participated in the battle also died one after another in the subsequent war. This mystery The 'enemy' has also become a historical mystery.

But now, Amber suddenly felt that this mysterious 'enemy' might have something to do with the old emperor Frederico.
