Chapter 401: Some are happy and some are sad
“Okay, it seems you are right, Van Fleet.”
Guterres on the side also said in a daze, Although he does not know that much about land warfare, he can still understand battlefield situation diagrams.
Obviously, Atlas's attack force is like water seeping into paper at this time. It cannot be effectively blocked at all, and it continues 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 at this time. Help them 'fight foreign enemies'.
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 have been eaten away little by little."
Van Fleet leaned back on his chair with his arms crossed. The Army General knew very well that there was no suspense in this battle, and a new doubt arose in his heart.
“You said Atlas is not hiding anything, why are you showing these to our two ‘captives’?”
“Why do I feel like they want us to know about them? 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.” Guterre Si spoke, thinking of the fleet battles 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. We even built that 'super flagship'. I'm sure that's not the last one."
Guterres' words silenced Van Fleet, and he couldn't help but recall himself. The previous battle on the Para IV.
"So this is really flexing muscles for us. What if you really want to recruit us?" Under Guterres' inspiration, the federal army lieutenant general's mind became more active. And I feel more and more that the latter makes 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 inappropriate. I have been targeted by the federation when I run here. It’s you who came to work in the company. Didn’t you praise Atlas’s ground troops just now?”
“Praise is a compliment, but it doesn’t mean that I am really so easy to be recruited!”
Van Fleet wanted to say a few more words, but the hatch that suddenly slid open interrupted him.
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 him, he really needed to think about it carefully.
"Two generals, come back. The federal ship 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, 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 of them, Shikodi continued to smile and said: "We agreed to the federal government's request and will safely send back a group of senior officers, including the two of them. Within the Commonwealth.”
"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, other people's handling methods were not mentioned."
Shikodi's tone was slightly apologetic. At the same time, he also looked at Guterres, and after some 'inner struggle', he slowly said: "General Guterres, your channels for obtaining external information have been temporarily closed during this period. I have something to ask you." Maybe I don’t know yet.” “What’s the matter?”
"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 He skillfully floated to Amber and sat directly on the latter's lap.
At this moment, the 20-day Battle of Garibal has ended. After clearing out more than 3 brigades of enemies, the remaining imperial garrison of Garibal collapsed and surrendered.
However, for a group of imperial troops led by the 'Emperor of Garibol' - 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.
With 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, whose crimes would not lead to death, were sent to labor camps to assist in the reconstruction of Gallipol.
Amber had just finished presiding over the execution. After returning to the command cabin and resting in the car, Amber 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.
"Yes, it's been a long time since I've been here. I didn't have time to come in on the Infinity some time ago."
Amber took a deep breath, and then lay down on the He landed on a water mat that appeared out of thin air, and Lilith, who was pulling on him, followed suit and lay down. In the virtual space, Amber didn't care about any image issues, she could lie down however she wanted as long as it was comfortable enough.
"Master, you are here today not just to look at me, right?"
Lilith showed a smile, and at the same time stretched out her index finger to slowly follow the outline of Amber's jaw. Crossed.
"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."
Hearing this, Lilith immediately Amber climbed up and sat astride his abdomen, saying angrily.
“Huh, I knew it.”
“By the way. I said it was by the way!”
Regarding Amber’s quibble, Lilith raised her eyebrows and said nothing more. What, he just sat down hard in a vindictive manner, and the simulated nerve signals emitted by the advanced access equipment immediately made Amber feel a pain in an unexplainable part.
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 Staring at Lilith's eyes carefully,
"How did you do it?"
