From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 481 Return to Rubion

"Conservative? Aren't you all too radical?"

There was a sense of both laughter and tears in Amber's words. At this moment, if nothing else, he at least felt what Zhao Kuangyin felt when he was "crowned with a yellow robe" by someone.

It's just that Zhao Kuangyin pretended to have just woken up from drunkenness, and then pretended to be forced to "receive the order from heaven", and he Amber was really embarrassed at this time.

He had to admit that the "great cause" that Saleh and Lilith talked about, which was to sweep across thousands of stars and unify humans and elves, did sound very attractive. No man could resist the temptation of such an ambitious cause.

What's more, Amber has always liked playing some grand strategy games, and she especially enjoys watching the map being filled with the colors that symbolize her.

But reality is not a game, and true ambitions are not as simple as a "coloring game". There are too many things involved behind sweeping across the stars. Even with the assistance of Lilith and a group of "professionals", Amber dare not guarantee success.

Sometimes he actually feels that he is already satisfied. If he were to retire at this time and live the rest of his life in peace and prosperity with his beautiful wife, it would actually be in line with his wishes.

However, both he and Atlas are attracting too much attention at the moment, and they are still the "thorns in the eyes" of many people. If they choose to retreat at the height of their career, perhaps tomorrow some enemy will pop up out of nowhere and show up at their doorstep.

Lilith quickly guessed what Amber was thinking - as she and Amber were "bound" for longer and longer periods of time, she now had a better grasp of some of Amber's inner thoughts.

"Master, now that it has come to this, don't think about leaving the stage so easily. If you don't fully utilize the 'power' you have now, it will only make the pearl obscured. Just like Sister Saleh said just now, since you have come this far, why don't you just go a little further?"

Hearing Lilith's words, Amber smiled and asked, "Then tell me what to do next?"

"Master, you already have a plan in mind, right?"

Lilith curled her lips in displeasure, obviously dissatisfied with Amber's behavior, but she continued to speak:
"Forget it, let me tell you what I want to say. The most suitable target for the next step is actually the Rubion Galaxy. We have already laid a sufficient foundation here. Moreover, with a series of 'operations' by the Galaxy Autonomous Government and local enterprises, the public's favorability towards Atlas is still rising.

According to my monitoring of public opinion in the Rubion galaxy during this period, most people miss the period when the galaxy and Atlas had in-depth cooperation, and many of the forces currently engaged in "armed rebellion" are using this to gain more supporters.

For example, statements like 'once the rebellion succeeds, the Atlas Group will be invited to return to the Rubion system' are key. Such statements are indeed likely to gain more supporters. Many people who participate in the 'armed rebellion' expect to be able to return to their previous lives after success."

Listening to Lilith talking about the recent situation in the Rubion galaxy, Amber suddenly asked curiously, "Since Atlas has such a high reputation among the people of Rubion, is there anyone who acts directly under our banner? Wouldn't it be easier to gain a large number of supporters this way?"

"Of course there is such a 'great wisdom'~" Lilith nodded.

"However, the forces that raised this banner basically did not last more than a week before being destroyed."

"why?"

Lilith shrugged and said naturally, "Our strength is far inferior to that of the real Atlas, and it is more likely to be attacked by the government forces of the Rubion Galaxy if we use this banner. As far as I know, since the expansion of this rebellion, the government forces have wiped out at least 8 "rebels" under the banner of our Atlas." "Why are there so many?" Amber suddenly felt a little amused. "Won't this make the general public in the Rubion Galaxy mistakenly believe that our Atlas is not as strong as they think?"

"No, except for those who are not very discerning, most people are suspicious of these 'rebels' under our banner."

"Really? Everyone's ability to distinguish is so strong?" Amber asked with some confusion.

"After all, the pure white paint and advanced equipment of the Atlas combat troops are too deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the Roma soldiers have become a direct 'anti-counterfeiting certification'."

"That's true." Amber shook his head. He himself didn't expect that his action at that time would become one of the symbols of the Atlas combat force.

"So now is actually a good time for us to have the opportunity to return to Rubion." Lilith said seriously:
"The two mobile fortresses lost by the Federation in the 'strategic decisive battle' with the Empire, as well as the millions of casualties, have now become the biggest 'weapons' used by the civil opposition to attack the federal government.

The Rubion galaxy is no exception. If most of the people had previously taken the path of "armed rebellion" actively or passively because they were oppressed, now they have almost completely lost confidence in the federal government and the galaxy's autonomous government.

This has also led to the recent expansion of many rebel forces in the Rubion system, including Mr. Franklin, whom you are following. He has also formed a large team, and there are signs that he will take the top spot in the popular support of the people in the Rubion system."

"Oh? Is there anything else?"

Amber's eyes lit up when she heard the familiar name.

Abraham Franklin, although Amber rejected his request for help twice, in fact, this young man has become Amber's most important "investment target" at present.

After all, this important character in the game will become the president of the New Federation in the future. If you start investing in it early on, it will definitely be a profitable business.

Although Atlas did not support him overtly, it certainly provided him with a lot of help in secret, especially during the period when he had just entered politics, the public relations department of the Atlas Group did a lot of secret work for him.

Even now, the Polaris is waiting near Rubion V with a shipload of Immortals, ready to dash into low orbit and drop a bunch of tough guys to do the work.

At Amber's questioning, Lilith also gave a brief description of Franklin's recent movements and how he had assembled a not-so-small team under such circumstances.

"But from the news we received two days ago, Mr. Franklin might have run into some minor troubles~" Lilith added after she finished telling the relevant information.

"Little trouble, do you mean it's time to help someone in need?"
