From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 465 A Final Battle

Although Lilith was a little curious about Amber's previous words, she gave up her intention to ask after discovering that Amber had no intention of going into details.

Having been with Amber for a long time, she had long discovered that Amber actually had many secrets, and he had never mentioned these secrets to anyone, including her.

Lilith, who has figured out Amber's temperament, knows that if this guy has something he doesn't want to say, he will definitely hold it in his heart until death, so she has never thought of exploring these secrets.

This time is no exception.

However, in order to continue the current conversation, Lilith still asked: "Does Master know about the situation of this 'Cloak Society'?"

Regarding this issue, Amber had no plans to hide it. Except for the "game"-related information, he revealed all the other information he knew.

"Well, I don't know. I can only say that I have heard some rumors. Anyway, it is a secret organization full of stereotypes established by a group of old nobles in the Star Dragon Empire who were half-dishonored.

If you have to say it, it’s a bit like the ‘benchmark product’ of the federal military-industrial complex in the Star Dragon Empire? But unlike the situation where the military-industrial complex has a close relationship with the federal government, there is no royal family from the Star Dragon Empire in the 'Cloak Society', they are all hereditary nobles."

"But if these nobles formed a clique for personal gain, if they were discovered by the royal family, wouldn't it be a capital crime?" Lilith asked curiously.

"Of course it's a capital crime, so no one has ever known which nobles are in the 'Cloak Society'. Even with your incredible information gathering ability like Lilith, you only know that Arthas Sevo is suspected to be related to this group. It’s just contact.”

When Amber thought that this incident actually involved this organization, she felt that this 'unexpected surprise' was indeed a bit too unexpected.

"But since the 'Cloak Society' is related to this matter, we can actually guess which nobles are in this organization."

Thinking of this, Amber's mind immediately started to change. He quickly absorbed and organized the information in his mind, and at the same time said to Lilith:

"Check the records of previous attacks by the 'Lightless Ones', focusing on those attacks against big nobles, and whether there are any 'beneficiaries' from these attacks."

"I understand, Master~"

Lilith nodded and began to search for relevant information in the virtual space. At the same time, she asked: "Master, don't you need to look at the attack on the royal family?"

“Well, those who don’t have to look at the ‘Lightless One’s’ attack on the royal family are dead hands~”

Lilith: "."

Because there is so much information about the "Lightless Ones" attack on the Internet, and after obtaining the target information, it is necessary to extend it to obtain other additional information. Some of the information even comes from some non-public secret networks. , Lilith needs to move a little bit to get it.

So Lilith's search this time was longer than before, and she stopped after almost a minute.

"Master, there are a total of 42 large-scale attacks that the 'Lightless Ones' have been able to verify before. From the information I can obtain, the circumstances and results of 21 of them are very different from this one against Dominic Servo. The attacks are very similar.

The heirs of these attacked nobles were all found to have signs of contact with the 'Cloak Society'. As for the other 14 attacks with surviving 'heirs', it is impossible to determine whether they are related to the 'Cloak Society' due to the lack of relevant information to support them."

"It's okay, that's enough," Amber said:

"At least we know that the Cloak Society is most likely behind the attack, and we can basically identify the Cloak Society as the mysterious force behind the Lightless Ones.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I really didn’t expect to be able to follow the clues and get so much information. "

"Then what should we do next? Do you plan to reveal this news to the Prince Regent or Her Royal Highness the Princess? This should be a good opportunity to get acquainted with each other and gain favor."

Lilith looked at Amber. Privately, this man knew more about all aspects of the Star Dragon Empire than anyone imagined. It could be said that it was completely inconsistent with the 'experience' that his age could have.

But after carefully thinking about the things this man had done, Lilith suddenly felt that it was not worth being surprised.

"No need to tell anyone, we just need to know it ourselves, and Norton II is not a fool. Although he does not have as strong an information collection capability as you, I estimate that it will only take a week or two at most for the regent to discover this." There's something fishy about it.

As for the royal family, there is no need to reveal it for the time being, just keep it in your hands as a bargaining chip, maybe it will be used in the future~"

Amber thought for a moment, made a decision, and finally said:

"Lilith, archive the intelligence collected and compiled today, and raise the confidentiality level to the highest level. If others want to access it, they need my authorization."

"Understood, Master, archiving and permission settings have been completed~"

——

Although the impact of emergencies in the Star Dragon Empire is not as great as the friction between the federal military-industrial complex and Atlas on the battlefield and financial markets, domestic public opinion and the relationship between different camps are still It has a certain impact.

In particular, for the first time, there were public and large-scale doubts within the 'Regent Party'.

Many nobles who joined the "Regent Party" halfway began to doubt whether Norton II wanted to use this method to crack down on disobedient people. At the same time, more and more nobles were worried that their interests would be greatly affected after Norton II's "success".

Everyone was waiting for the Regent to respond to this incident, and wanted to see how he would operate when he suddenly encountered a headwind.

While the "Princess Party" headed by Agnes was concerned about the attacked Sevo family, they said that the imperial family would never tolerate such armed attacks and asked the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs to conduct a thorough investigation of the matter.

As for the black hand behind the scenes, he continued to hide his identity, secretly expecting whether Norton II would make a decision to "give in" under pressure from within the camp.

As problems began to arise one after another within the Empire and the Federation, the "decisive battle" that both sides had been preparing for for a long time finally came to the night before the outbreak.

The explosive military capacity of both sides under the "general mobilization order" turned into a massive fleet arriving at the front line at this moment, and the huge "sphere" that appeared on the federal navy front also boosted the morale of the navy soldiers.

Although they may not know the difference between the "mobile fortress" and the "artificial celestial fortress", in their opinion, at least they have similar strategic weapons, and the shadow brought by the empire's "artificial celestial fortress" in the previous battle has also been dispelled for the most part.

At the same time, for both sides who are facing the same dilemma and pressure from all sides, this decisive battle will also be a "fight to the death".

If they win, they can reverse the decline in the war situation, stabilize the domestic situation, and obtain a window period for transferring pressure.

But if they lose, then the series of chain reactions that follow will completely detonate the long-accumulated contradictions.
