Chapter 405 The Missing Old Emperor
Amber didn’t know that the Federation was targeting Lilith and himself. After all, he was not a prophet who could predict everything.
Although he knows the direction of the plot in the game, to be honest, at this stage, many plots have changed, and the golden finger of "knowing the plot" is getting weaker and weaker as time goes by.
So he must deduce the future situation based on his own experience and with the assistance of Lilith to make decisions on the development of Atlas.
During this period of time, he also felt what it means to be in vain. Four months passed in almost a blink of an eye, and Atlas continued to deliver troops on the Para 4. Finally, It has reached nearly 80,000 people, which is the currently sustainable limit of the 'group army'.
Such a large-scale recruitment of Roma people directly hit the front pages of major media outlets in the Thousand Star Empire. The egalitarian faction among the elves celebrated, claiming that this was the greatest victory they had ever achieved since fighting for equal rights for the Roma people.
The conservatives were as angry as if Amber had dug up their ancestral graves. Several major leaders jointly stated that they would boycott Atlas and their partner in the Thousand Planets Empire, which is Ellenita. The Yuge family behind it.
Of course, this kind of resistance is quite nonsense, not to mention that Atlas is now in the Thousand Stars Empire and has no other business dealings except hiring soldiers. The Yuge family has been at the top for a long time. The three chaebols simply disdained this resistance.
As for the Lying Ping faction headed by the Elf Royal Court, they continued to remain Lying Ping.
Their attitude even made Amber 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.
Except for the two main brigades, the other 10 brigades are all new troops participating in the war for the first time. This time they were put on the Para IV just to train their troops in battle.
Although many of the 10 newly formed brigades are not yet completely full, and combat vehicles are still being added one after another, the ability to explode so many troops in four months is already enough in Amber's opinion. It's pretty fast.
After all, these combined brigades were built from scratch. The personnel were slowly trained recently, and the equipment was urgently produced by Atlas Industries, so the overall combat level is not even close to that. Something wrong.
The various stragglers, warlords, and thugs on the Para 4 were just used for them to practice, and various types, compositions, and sizes of enemies were collected at once.
Of course, we did encounter various problems at the beginning. For example, the firepower battalion under a certain brigade got lost during the transfer maneuver. If the brigade headquarters, which had been monitoring the troop maneuvers, had not discovered something was wrong in time, maybe these twenty-odd people would have lost their way. The Taiwan 155 self-propelled artillery plunged into the kill zone of a remnant federal soldier.
For another example, during an attack by a combined battalion under a certain brigade, the battalion headquarters was disconnected from the main force, and the armored command vehicle where the battalion commander was located directly got stuck in the quagmire.
Then the Minotaur battalion commander left a few people guarding the equipment and waited for friendly forces who were following up to help recover it, and then directly led the people from the battalion headquarters to pursue the troops on foot
The general of the ground forces After the commander, the wolf-headed man Hogg learned about the incident through various reports, he was so angry on the spot that he shouted in the command cabin, "I want to eat beef tonight!"
Such big and small problems can be said to have happened every day in the past four months, and Amber has gradually become more and more calm from the "daily anger" at the beginning.
As long as the troops learn from these incidents and don't make the same mistakes again in the future, that can be considered a good thing.
After all, the intensity of the battle on Para 4 was not high, so in the eyes of Amber and the commanders, it was more like a ‘training ground’ in a fully realistic environment than a battlefield.
“Bleed more in peacetime, but save your life in wartime.” It soon became the consensus of the commanders of all armies.
In the end, with the support of the fleet, 12 combined brigades dispersed and attacked, and it took four months to sweep the entire Para IV.
Except for some stubborn enemies who hid in the deep mountains and old forests, all the remaining soldiers, whether they were imperial or federal soldiers, surrendered and died in battle.
As for the imperial noble who owned a fief on Para IV, Amber did not directly ask the troops to knock him down. After all, it was a legal fief granted by the imperial royal family. However, under the pressure of the army, the imperial noble quickly lifted the blockade and martial law in the territory, allowing civilians under his rule to enter and exit freely.
As a result, on the day the blockade was lifted, Almost all the civilians fled with their families and families, which shows how many extraordinary things this nobleman did during this period
In the end, because there were too many refugees fleeing, Atlas A temporary refugee camp had to be built nearby to accommodate them.
In short, without the Federation and the Empire coming to 'disturb', Amber can be said to have completed a major training exercise on the Para 4 with peace of mind. After controlling all the key areas, At the same time, basic production activities on the planet were restored as quickly as possible.
At the same time, in these three months, places other than Para 4 were also 'unceasingly exciting'.——
"So the old emperor has been critically ill for so long, and the result is that he is still in critical condition?"< br>
During the routine intelligence communication meeting, listening to Isabel’s report, Amber suddenly asked.
When Isabel heard this, the water she just drank to soothe her throat almost spurted out. .
"Amber, although I am yours now, I was also an imperial noble before"
"Ahem, I'll pay attention next time."
Amber scratched his head in embarrassment. He also realized what he had just said, as if he had asked the princes and nobles in the late Qing Dynasty, "Is your Emperor Guangxu dead?" It's just as outrageous.
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 question, Amber. Ever 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, No other news came out.
Her Highness Agnes and the Regent are also in charge of all affairs of the empire, including the general mobilization order of the empire."< br>
"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 situation of the war between the Federation and the Empire, and ultimately allowed the regent to temporarily postpone the coup, but in any case, it would not bring the old man down. Will the emperor's life be restored?
Amber searched carefully in his memory palace, hoping to find some information that he had missed.
However, 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 battle was not only against Duke Sauron and the 'Old Saint' who came to 'King Qin' Saunière, Zhengxing Longqi's, there is another unknown enemy
For this 'enemy', the description in the novel is also very vague, and it does not use 'a large army' or 'a group of elite soldiers' Such an adjective is used instead of '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 came one after another. Died in the flames of war, this mysterious 'enemy' has become a mystery in history.
But now, Amber suddenly felt that this mysterious 'enemy' might have something to do with the old emperor Frederico.
