From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

Chapter 99 Old acquaintance

Lieutenant Colonel Dallas' question suddenly made Amber's heart skip a beat.

He guessed that maybe the contact with Isabel during the day and her 'elf friend' was discovered?

After learning that the federal main fleet had arrived and was about to start a decisive battle with the imperial fleet.

Amber and Isabel, two guys who had been determined to escape Robert IV from the beginning, realized that the opportunity they had been waiting for had arrived.

So during the day, Amber took the opportunity to go out for reconnaissance and approached the base area of ​​the space elevator.

Then with the help of Lilith, the communication module of the space elevator was successfully hacked.

After many battles, Lilith's electronic warfare and invasion capabilities have improved almost exponentially.

Although the space elevator's space shuttle car module is locked, the communication module is actually in a dormant state.

So Amber successfully used the space elevator's intra-galactic communication array and based on the information provided by Isabel, found a concealed conventional and psychic dual-purpose communication tower deployed by the Thousand Planet Empire on the edge of Robert's galaxy.

And finally used this communication tower to send a message to Isabel's elf friends.

Thinking of this, Amber stabilized her expression and looked at Lieutenant Colonel Dallas next to her.

"Lieutenant Colonel."

"Hahaha! I guessed it! You don't have to panic. I delayed telling you this until now, and I didn't intend to stop you."

Lieutenant Colonel Dallas smiled and patted Amber's shoulder hard.

"Don't ask me why I guessed it right. It's just intuition. My intuition tells me that you can't stay on this planet waiting to die."

"When did you notice it?"

Since the lieutenant colonel said so, Amber simply stopped pretending.

"From the time you uploaded the combat report, I guessed that you had this plan. After all, with your true identity, you definitely don't want to let go of this golden opportunity to break away from the control of the Federation and the Empire."

"It seems you know more than I thought."

Amber turned to look at Lieutenant Colonel Dallas. The appearance of this macho man would indeed confuse people, thinking that he was just a tough guy with well-developed limbs.

"Are you curious how I, a person who is not in charge of intelligence, knew this secret?"

"One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed."

The smile on Lieutenant Colonel Dallas' face faded, he crossed his arms across his chest and said in a calm tone:

"Remember your cheap boss, Major Mars from the Combat Intelligence Center?"

Amber nodded. Although the contact time was not long, the process of communicating with this superior in charge of intelligence was still very explosive when I think about it now.

"We were classmates in the same command department when we were in the First Federal Military Academy. In the year we graduated, he was the chief and I was the second in command."

A classmate from the First Military Academy?

Chief and second in command?

And now both are on a frontier farming planet?

One of them even switched to intelligence work?

Amber suddenly felt that there might be some complicated story behind Lieutenant Colonel Dallas's short sentence.

"As you thought, there is a long story behind the appearance of our two first and second officers from the First Military Academy. If we have a chance to meet in the future, I can tell you about it, but forget it today, let's talk about yours. Let’s do it.”

Lieutenant Colonel Dallas raised his eyebrows and then said:

"On the night of Army Day, I suddenly received a message from a secret line, which was sent by Mars.

According to the description at the beginning of the message, this is a scheduled message that Mars set up just in case.

Normally, he would cancel sending the message after completing something.

The content of the information is about your identity, the identity of Captain Margaret, and the intelligence about the empire’s upcoming raid.”

Hearing this, Amber suddenly felt scared. She was indeed no match for these professional intelligence personnel in this regard.

Moreover, he had to admit that Lieutenant Colonel Dallas was really good at acting.

"Since this message was successfully sent to you, Lieutenant Colonel, it means that Major Mars did not complete the 'something' you said, right?"

"That's right, 'something' means that he went to report to Commander Adam alone." Lieutenant Colonel Dallas seemed to be thinking of his old classmate, and his voice sounded a little disappointed at this moment.

"After receiving this message, I rushed to this guy's dormitory. Speaking of which, it is also Mars' fault. He often habitually locked himself in the officer's dormitory for several days, so Army Day I hadn't seen him in the past two days, and I wasn't surprised at that time.

After breaking the door and entering, I saw him sitting at his desk, his body already stiff.

I asked my confidant to check the surveillance and found that he went to see Commander Adam after meeting you first, and finally returned to the room himself. "

"Level 4 psykers are capable of 'mind control'."

Amber suddenly spoke.

"In addition to me, there should be a psyker lurking in the empire in the base at that time."

At this point, Amber was too lazy to hide it anymore, and told Lieutenant Colonel Dallas what happened next, including sending out a distress signal before blowing up the core communication terminal.

After listening to Amber's account, the lieutenant colonel squatted down and sat on the edge of the roof of the command vehicle, and then took a long drag on his cigarette.

"I see. I'm just wondering why the support fleet arrived so quickly. Amber, the thousands of us here really have to thank you."

"Thanks is nothing."

Amber also sat down.

"As you said, my ultimate goal is to escape from this planet and escape the control of both parties. If I don't follow the large army, it will be difficult for me to get to the space elevator."

"Huh, Amber, you're quite a bachelor."

"You already know so much, there's no need for me to pretend anymore, right?"

Lieutenant Colonel Dallas was silent for a while, and then suddenly said:

"Amber, you know, I just had the idea of ​​letting you take everyone here away."

"It's not impossible if there is a large transport ship in the space port." Amber answered seriously.

"It's useless. Even if there is a way to leave here, we can't escape. Although it's a bit offensive, I still have to say that we are not as carefree as you."

Lieutenant Colonel Dallas sighed and looked up at the stars. His eyes seemed to be able to travel across physical distances and see a certain planet that fascinated him.

“If we people run away, we will be deserters from the federation. Not only will our families have all their subsidies taken back, but we will also be cast aside by the people around us.

There are only two destinations for the Federation's border guards. Either they serve until retirement age and return home, or they die on the planet where they are stationed. "

That night, Lieutenant Colonel Dallas complained bitterly to Amber and made various politically incorrect remarks.

If this was placed in the capital galaxy, it might have been invited to tea.

And Amber could never forget the last words this macho lieutenant colonel said to him with an expression of envy and hope:

"Warrant Officer Amber, you still have a long and exciting road ahead, so live well."

Early the next morning, the federal and imperial troops who had been immersed all night came to life again.

Both sides deployed their respective positions and began to move towards the final decisive battle - the base area of ​​the space elevator.

Since both sides are wary of orbital strikes, this battle will be a pure land battle.

Just as Amber and others began to move towards the planned attack area.

The empire suddenly began broadcasting over a wide area without any restrictions through public channels.

For a moment, everyone received the broadcast signal and heard the familiar voice coming from the public channel.

"Brothers of the Federal Army, I am Commander Adam, the commander of Yassin Base."

"Here, as a compatriot, I advise everyone to lay down their weapons, stop resisting, and stop paying unnecessary sacrifices for the Federation."

"Your fight is meaningless. Continuing to attack will only step into the trap set by the great Star Dragon Empire!"

"Because in your team, the psychic agent Warrant Officer Amber has already surrendered to our great empire!"

"So I hope that everyone can be like him, those who understand the current affairs are heroes, and bask in the glory of the empire as soon as possible!"
