Chapter 498 Franklin, Confused for the Second Time

As the armies of the Renaissance Alliance gradually gained the upper hand in the battle, the battle situation began to become increasingly clear.

When the troops under General Lampard formed a siege around the area controlled by the Renaissance Alliance, the main positions mainly relied on high-mobility units such as HCP troops and light and medium synthetic troops to support each other.

It has to be said that these staff officers under General Lampard are still very capable. Although in some emergencies, their reactions and adaptations are a bit slow, but if it is a steady and formulaic battle, their performance is still remarkable. Delicious.

A position group composed of multiple tactical nodes serving as horns to each other, and then a large front composed of multiple position groups serving as horns to each other, forms a "small ring within a large ring" situation.

Coupled with high-mobility units as quick reaction forces to provide support at various tactical nodes and position groups, they successfully achieved the 'feat' of tightly restricting the Renaissance Alliance with a relatively small number of troops.

This, of course, has something to do with the lack of talent in the Renaissance Alliance's combat troops, but it is undeniable that General Lampard's staff can use the "routines" they learned from the Atlas combat troops. The level is already quite good.

However, as Banninger, Memphis and others commented, these staffs lack flexible arrangements in practical applications. It is okay to face opponents such as the Renaissance Alliance, but as long as some emergencies arise-such as the orbit of the Immortal Legion, Airdropping to the 'enemy situation' in the hinterland will cause big problems.

The final result also confirmed Banninger's judgment. Except for the front area where General Lampard was located, other key areas fell under the large-scale offensive of the Renaissance Alliance. The troops originally stationed fled to death. It will be difficult to gather these units again within a short period of time.

At this moment, the report Franklin heard in the headquarters also confirmed that the Renaissance Alliance had completely controlled two large-scale industrial areas and a satellite city.

Of course, there were also some industrial parks that were 'enclosed' within the control of the Renaissance Alliance during this process and were also 'liberated' during this battle.

Although it will take some time for these areas, which were previously under the control of General Lampard's forces and were almost a state of military slavery, to resume production, the food crisis encountered by Franklin and others will gradually ease in a short period of time.

Franklin, who was a little uneasy because of the wreckage he and Eleanor saw, finally listened to the last part of the report of the armed forces commander and staff.

They suggested pursuing the victory and encircling General Lampard with a greater force advantage than before, and taking the opportunity to completely eliminate this "big trouble".

Franklin naturally had no objection to this. He knew that his military talents were definitely not as good as these professionals, so as long as the general direction was correct, he would generally not directly interfere with the command like last night.

After the meeting, Franklin returned to the door of his room in the camp. Eleanor, who was following him, saw that he was a little distracted and couldn't help but ask:

"Franklin, are you okay? I feel like you're not feeling right. Are you too tired? Do you want me to give you a massage to soothe you?"

"I'm fine, Eleanor."

Franklin looked back at the girl following him, couldn't help but touch her head, and then put a smile on his face:

"You should go back to your room and rest quickly. You have been exhausted these past two days. After a good rest, we will probably be busy again."

After hearing Franklin's words, Eleanor didn't say much.

There would be many people in the camp, and the single room Franklin lived in was right next to other people's rooms, so it really wasn't appropriate for her to follow Franklin into the room.

"Then you have a good rest, I'll go back first~"

Having said that, Eleanor left quickly without staying any longer.

Watching her back disappear into the distance, Franklin also turned around and walked into the room and closed the door.

After a moment, he took out something the size of a lighter from his arms, pressed a button and placed it on the table in the room.

This is a gadget he obtained some time ago, which can temporarily interfere with or directly block possible monitoring equipment.

After confirming that the red light on the device turned into green, which represented 'safety', Franklin took out a small communicator.

This was a 'little gift' he suddenly received not long after his last phone call with Amber.

This communicator has only one function, and that is to directly contact the headquarters of the Atlas Group through quantum entanglement communication technology.

Taking a deep breath, Franklin pressed the 'initiate communication request' button on the screen as if he was about to complete some arduous mission.

——

On the other side, Amber is staying with Lilith in the virtual space called 'Valhalla', watching Baninger and others return one by one.

When a sudden stream of data gradually turned into the last immortal to participate in the operation, Amber finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he knew that the situation he was worried about would basically not happen, he still didn't want these immortals to go wrong again like the 'last battle' in their lifetimes after they were transformed into 'digital beings'.

It's enough to hit him once for this kind of thing.

Amber was about to say something when Lilith suddenly spoke to him:

"Master, Mr. Franklin is here as you expected. Do you need me to help you transfer? If not, I will ask the AI ​​customer service to help you~"

"Turn in, this chat will have some results."

As Amber spoke, she informed Baninger and then switched to another encrypted virtual space.

Soon, Franklin's communication was also connected.

"Hey, Mr. Franklin, it's been a while since the last call. How are you doing lately? How is your 'career' going?"

Amber's voice sounded very enthusiastic, like talking to an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time.

But Lilith next to him couldn't help but pursed her lips, because she knew that when Amber usually communicated with other people in such a slightly exaggerated tone, it was often time to make something happen.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rebel, I just noticed your time there. Is it too late to disturb you?"

"Nothing, I happen to be busy with other things, I'll be in great spirits~"

Hearing that Amber's tone was still so enthusiastic, Franklin paused, and finally slowly and briefly described what happened from last night to now in a simple and clear manner.

Amber: "Hey, Mr. Franklin is really amazing. You have assembled such a large team in such a short period of time. Congratulations on solving the current crisis. But you are telling me these things to an outsider. It's really... Is it appropriate?”

After hearing the word 'outsider', Franklin was silent for a moment, and then asked:

"Mr. Rebel, are the four teams dropped by air last night really not sent by you to help?"

"Does the wreckage you found have markings from Atlas on it?"

"Uh no."

"Then you found current employees of Atlas?"

"No, they are all unmanned units."

"Is there a single part, a wire, or a chip that comes out of an Atlas factory?"

“It really doesn’t”

"Then why do you think I sent someone to help?"
