From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

Chapter 80 We will fight until the end

At this point in the meeting, Amber finally understood why the attendees were all brigade officers, but she was the only one invited to the meeting.

"You're going to give me a job."

The bad memories of being a laborer in her previous life were recalled by Amber.

The next moment, Lieutenant Colonel Dallas' words confirmed Amber's suspicion.

"Warrant Officer Amber, you are currently the only psychic agent in the team. I hope you will lead this operation."

"Obey, sir! Promise to complete the mission!"

Amber ‘Snap! ’ He stood up and saluted, and at the same time replied loudly in a firm tone.

Although he was unwilling in his heart, he could only agree with his heart at this time.

After all, this is the military, not a company.

Have you ever seen a soldier who dared to disobey an order given by his superior? Especially in wartime situations.

Even if Amber never regarded herself as a true federal soldier, she even planned to run away immediately after finding a way to leave Robert Four.

But in this situation, he had to obey orders like a real soldier.

Naturally, Lieutenant Colonel Dallas didn't know the fierce struggle in Amber's heart, and he nodded approvingly at Amber's reaction.

"This operation will be carried out in the form of a small team. You can select people from the reconnaissance battalion directly under the brigade headquarters. If you have any requests, feel free to put them forward."

"Just one question, sir." Amber thought for a moment and then said:

"My combat uniform and exoskeleton were scrapped in previous battles. I wonder if the brigade headquarters still has them in stock?"

"Well, I'll let the quartermaster look for this."

Ultimately, the Quartermaster failed to find the psionic agent's combat suit and exoskeleton.

After all, this thing is really not that common.

In the past, only the tactical support team under the Combat Intelligence Center in the entire Yasin Base could use this thing, and the inventory was not large.

As for the four psychic agents in the tactical support team, except Amber, they all died in the base on the night when the empire launched the attack.

So when Lieutenant Colonel Dallas led the team to break out, he never thought of bringing two pieces with him.

Although Amber's own team's transport truck does have a set of 'Breaker 2' exoskeleton.

But this thing can't be invisible, and if you really have to go back and get it, it will be more than a hundred kilometers away.

Since we don’t know when the empire will complete the communication blockade again, Lieutenant Colonel Dallas means that the sooner the team sets off, the better.

In this case, Amber ended up wearing a special exoskeleton for the reconnaissance battalion.

Like the ones used by the motorized infantry, the reconnaissance battalion actually wears the 'Sabertooth Tiger Type 3'.

The only difference is that the power pack has been noise-reduced and an electromagnetic buffer device has been installed on the feet.

Soon, he connected his communication relay vehicle, allowing Major Randall to temporarily take over the command of the motorized infantry platoon, and continued to march according to the planned plan.

Amber and the commander of the brigade reconnaissance battalion selected 16 infantrymen of the reconnaissance battalion, then boarded the vehicle and set off.

Their target is a large communication station 146 kilometers away, where the large communication array can transmit information within the galaxy.

Amber's plan is to find a way to use a communications array to find a deep-space relay satellite, and then use this satellite to convey the message to the Federation fleet.

Of course, according to Lieutenant Colonel Dallas, this information will also be sent through the public channel so that the empire can also receive it.

Therefore, Amber finally prepared a very simple and crude combat plan for the reconnaissance battalion commander who was accompanying him.

The first step is to arrive at the predetermined area and investigate the situation.

The second step is to kill Imperial troops if they are found.

The third step is to obtain control of the communication array.

Step 4: Send the message and call it a day.

Naturally, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion had no objections to this combat plan, which was so simple that even an old woman could understand it.

In his opinion, Amber, a psychic agent, is very professional in this area, so just trust him and that's it. When the team arrived about 10 kilometers away from the communication station after two hours of journey, an armored vehicle released a reconnaissance drone.

Then got bad news and good news.

The bad news is that there are actually traces of imperial troops in this civilian communication station.

In Amber's vision, this kind of civilian communication station is basically not among the attack targets of the imperial forces because it does not have the ability to communicate across galaxies.

Moreover, after the imperial fleet completed the communication blockade of the planet, even military communication stations were rarely targeted.

So Amber was still a little surprised by the news of imperial troops appearing in this communication station.

But the good news is that the number of this imperial force is not large. There are only two orbital paratrooper squads maneuvered by all-terrain vehicles and a 'Holy Spirit' multi-legged tank.

Judging from the ruts discovered by the reconnaissance drone, they came from the opposite direction to Amber and the others.

In other words, if this team continues to move forward without changing its direction, it may hit the brigade headquarters.

"Feels like an outpost?"

The commander of the reconnaissance battalion looked at the footage from the drone and made a guess.

"It's very possible that behind your large army, aren't there a few imperial pursuit troops? This is probably one of them."

Amber pointed in the direction the other party came from.

"Look, this is obviously heading towards the brigade headquarters."

"No, we have to notify the brigade headquarters and ask them to transfer in advance."

"No problem." Amber nodded, and then continued:

"You now notify the brigade headquarters and ask them to start the transfer in advance. After the communication is completed, we will launch the attack."

There is no need to say more about the battle that follows.

For Amber and the others, who brought two 'Lantula Kai' light multi-legged combat vehicles, three 'Mongoose 4' armored vehicles and an ultra-short wave reconnaissance and interference vehicle, these imperial vanguard troops in the communication station were like a plate. vegetable.

After being promoted to a fourth-level psyker, Amber's psychic powers were greatly enhanced.

After these days of rest, he has returned to his peak condition.

Then, the commander and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion saw what a humanoid monster was.

After the team reached a location about two kilometers away from the communication station.

Amber, who had no intention of approaching covertly, simply rushed past in the sunshine.

It wasn't until the Imperial soldiers discovered him and started shooting that Amber activated the psychic shield, and then continued to rush past without slowing down.

At this time, the imperial soldiers finally remembered to ask for support.

But under the battlefield cover of the ultra-short wave reconnaissance and interference vehicle, they were completely unable to send out any information.

After the 'Holy Spirit' multi-legged chariot that came forward to support the infantry was destroyed by the concentrated fire of two 'Lantula Kai' that had been ambushing in the distance, the battle had completely lost its suspense.

The remaining federal soldiers, led by the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, quickly rushed into the communication station from the other direction, went around behind the imperial soldiers who were completely attracted by Amber, and launched a surprise attack.

When the commander of the reconnaissance battalion pulled out the fighting spike from the last imperial soldier who fell to the ground and reloaded it with a 'click'.

Amber has arrived at the control room of the communication station and connected the back of her neck to the main terminal in the control room through a data cable.

"Lilith, it's up to you!"

"When you need someone, you scream sweetly. When you don't need someone, you just ignore them."

Although she was quite resentful towards Amber for treating her as a 'tool', Lilith, who said 'no, no, no, but still very honest', quickly completed the invasion and controlled the large-scale communications of this communication station. The array deployed its antennas.

"We have found several communication satellites in orbit that are still functioning. We can use them as springboards to send information to deep space relay satellites~"

"Very good, use the public channel directly, no encryption required."

"What's the content of the message?"

"Well, just one sentence: We will fight to the end."
