From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 521 Change of plan
"Did the Empire take action?"

Amber hesitated after hearing this speculation: "Is this reasonable?"

"That makes sense, Master!"

Lilith, who was originally sitting on a small data cube in the void, suddenly pounced in front of Amber, and then took the opportunity to "legally" sit on Amber's waist.

"The Empire has the motivation and ability to do it, and I personally voted for the Regent. In my opinion, this matter is very likely his work!"

Amber, who failed to dodge, finally accepted the fact that Lilith was sitting on his waist and discussing important matters with him. Then he nodded and asked, "From an objective point of view, there is nothing wrong with it, but how do you connect the whole logic? And why is it the Regent instead of the Imperial Princess?"

"Of course I am logical, Master! Let me explain it to you in detail~"

Lilith rubbed Amber's waist, changed to a more comfortable position and continued:
“First of all, with what’s happening now, the Regent is definitely one of the beneficiaries because the Federation will definitely take action against the Rubion Galaxy under this circumstance—regardless of whether the target is the autonomous government or other rebels, it is bound to happen.

This will only lead to two results. One is that the Federation successfully solves the problem of the Rubion galaxy, and then the federal government will definitely take advantage of the situation to continue to quell the civil unrest in other galaxies.
The other possibility is that the Federation fails again in the Rubion galaxy, which will cause people in other galaxies who are watching to realize that the federal government is not as strong as they imagined, and will inevitably set off a larger-scale wave of rebellion.

In any case, these two situations will make it impossible for the Federation to pose a threat to the Star Dragon Empire in the short term."

Amber continued Lilith's words: "Then the Regent can take this opportunity to focus all his energy on the 'party struggles' within the empire."

"That's it, Master!" Lilith patted Amber on the shoulder excitedly.
"Haven't we analyzed before that the Regent is in a very dangerous state and is likely to take military risks?

So he needs an environment without the threat of the Federation, so that he can act with peace of mind! After all, he doesn't want the Federation to take advantage of the empire after it falls into civil war."

Amber raised her hand and stroked her chin, and fell into thought following Lilith's words: "If you say so, then Norton II does have a motive to do this."

Lilith nodded obediently, and then continued to speak of her guess:
"As for whether the Regent has the ability to do this. Regarding this question, Master, you can think about it. Are you the only 'deeply hidden spy' of the Star Dragon Empire on the Federation side?

Since they are capable of arranging a spy-turned-psychic agent and placing him in a military base on a border planet, then it would be even easier to lurk a few spies on Rubion V, right?"

Hearing this, Amber honestly began to doubt whether the incident that just happened was really the work of the Regent.

After all, considering that the Federation was as leaky as a sieve before the war, it was not surprising that the Empire had planted some deep-lying spies or even an action team on Rubion V.

However, he still looked up at Lilith and asked one last question:
"Why is it the Regent and not the Imperial Princess?"

"Because Princess Agnes is no longer in such a passive position after the change in the balance of power within the empire, she can sit back and wait for the regent to reveal a flaw.

And from the 'character portrait' I drew based on the information I collected over the past year, Agnes is better at 'defensive counterattacks', rather than creating a good 'output environment' for herself and then taking the initiative to attack like she is now." Amber had to admit that Lilith's description was indeed very possible, and he believed that the other party definitely did not draw the conclusion based on the reasons just mentioned, but added a lot of information obtained from other channels to support her judgment.

This is why Amber now often asks Lilith for her opinion, because in some cases, this strong artificial intelligence is often the one who can see the situation most clearly.

Thinking of this, Amber couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and a look of distress appeared on her face.

"If this is true, then doesn't it mean that something big is coming from the Star Dragon Empire?"

Lilith: "It is very possible, Master. According to the information I have collected so far, although the surface of the water in the empire seems relatively calm, the undercurrent has long been surging."

Thinking carefully about the scenario described by Lilith and some things that might happen in the future, Amber suddenly realized that if the situation really developed in this way, Pyla IV, which was currently controlled by Atlas, would not seem to be disturbed for a while.

The situation of this planet or the entire Pella galaxy has entered a very delicate state after the end of the "strategic decisive battle" between the Federation and the Empire.

The entire galaxy is located at the border of the Empire and the Federation's 'actual control zone', but both sides have tacitly not deployed fleets in the galaxy, and it seems that neither side intends to intervene.

By the way, the imperial noble on Pyra IV is still hiding in his core territory, keeping to himself and Atlas' ground forces.

However, he still proposed a request to contact the imperial officials, so in Baron Bass's agenda for his visit to Atlas this time, there was a special session to discuss how to deal with this imperial nobleman.

Judging from the information currently revealed by Baron BASF, Princess Agnes seems to be planning to take this imperial nobleman and his "property" away.

This move seems a bit playful.
Combined with the current situation that Lilith had just analyzed, Amber found that she might be able to withdraw some of the heavy troops deployed in the Pella galaxy?
Even if the ground forces remain stationary, most of the combat fleet can be mobilized back.

In addition to the output of the major shipyards during this period, there are also three unmanned fleets resting in the A.Bava.Ku asteroid fortress.

Amber realized that the size of the fleet she had had had two manned fleets and three unmanned fleets.

This will undoubtedly give him more confidence and more flexible room for maneuver when facing the upcoming changes.

Thinking of this, Amber immediately made a decision:

"There's a change of plan. Lilith, have an unmanned fleet set off immediately to the Pella system to replace Cleves in defense. The other two unmanned fleets will also set off immediately, heading for the Rubion system."
