From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 573 Loyalty and Mind Control

As the captain of the "Guidance Operation Ship - Lighthouse", Federal Navy Colonel Smith realized what this killer wanted to do after Amber completed the boarding and rushed straight to the bridge.

If he simply wanted to stop the Lighthouse from continuing its guidance operations, he could have directly attacked the cabin where the guidance unit was located - judging from his swift and direct actions just now, he was very familiar with the cabin structure of the Lighthouse, so it was impossible for him not to know the location of the guidance unit.

Since he was now rushing directly towards the bridge, especially at this time when the battle between the two armies was the most intense, his purpose was actually very clear.

Seeing that the psychic whose face could not be seen clearly floating in the air in front of him stopped moving, Captain Smith couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that he had guessed the other party's purpose. The Atlas Group, or the man in front of him who was most likely the "Boss", was not thinking of stopping the proton annihilation bomb attack, but wanted to use it to attack the federal fleet.
Thinking of this, Captain Smith immediately decided to delay for a while.

Because the guidance beacon has entered the final analysis process at this moment, as long as it is delayed for a few more minutes, the beacon will take effect. At that time, the proton annihilation bombs deployed in other universes will be launched immediately, entering an irreversible attack process.

As long as he could hold out for these few minutes, Captain Smith, who had served in the Federal Navy for many years, would have no regrets even if he died afterwards.

Captain Smith, who thought he had taken the initiative, calmed himself down and prepared to delay for a while with words.

"Your Excellency should be."

But before he could finish his words, he felt a sudden force clinging to his right hand holding the gun.

Captain Smith reacted and was about to pull the trigger without any hesitation, but he found that his entire right hand had been fixed by this force, and under the guidance of the mysterious force, the muzzle of the gun slowly moved away from his jaw.

Seeing that his deterrence was about to fail, Captain Smith shouted to the people around him without thinking: "Quick! Shoot me to death! Don't let the rebels succeed!"

The bridge officers and crew members scattered around had just recovered from the shock and were still a little dazed after hearing the order from the captain.

However, the deputy captain of the "Lighthouse" was aware of something. He reacted quickly, kicked the bulkhead with his foot, and floated forward while grabbing a PDW floating nearby. Then he raised his gun and aimed in the direction of Captain Smith.

However, he was still a step too slow. A psychic lightning was released again with Amber as the center, and instantly entangled everyone in the bridge except Captain Smith.

As everyone turned into charred corpses floating in the air like other parts of the battleship in an instant, Captain Smith saw that Amber was already in front of him.

Thinking of something, he subconsciously wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but he lost consciousness after Amber's right hand silently touched his temple.

"Phew, I almost flipped over. I didn't expect that there are still officers like this in the Federation now."

Looking at Captain Smith, who had become dazed after being subjected to "mind control", Amber finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally thought that after the strategic decisive battle between the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire, all the brave and responsible officers of the Federation Navy had been lost, but he did not expect that the captain of this guidance ship was so brave.
"From his resume, he is a battleship captain transferred from the Fourth Fleet and a direct descendant of Marshal Trafalgar."

Lilith's voice came from her ear. After she completed the hacking of the 'Lighthouse', she had obtained the captain's information from the crew database.

After several optimization iterations, even without additional server computing power support, single-ship hacking is as easy for Lilith as eating and drinking.

She doesn't need to eat or drink water though.
"Are they going to transfer the captains of the battleships from the Fourth Fleet? It seems that our speculation is correct. Most of the reliable officers of the Federation Navy have been buried in the star sea forever. Otherwise, they would not have specially transferred their own officers to be responsible for leading the command of the operation ships."

Amber nodded and continued:
"Lilith, have you completed the control of all permissions? Can we modify the induction beacon next? We don't have much time." "It's done, Master, you can make the modification~"

Lilith responded, activating a separate device near the captain's seat.

Soon, a prompt sounded from the device that the captain was directly responsible for:

"Terminating the beacon parsing job. Completed!"

"The modification of the guidance beacon is in progress. Please ask the relevant authorized person to verify the identity."

Upon hearing this prompt, Amber immediately controlled Captain Smith to come to the side of the device like controlling a puppet.

Under his control, Captain Smith first passed the biometrics, and then during the voiceprint recognition process he reported a string of passwords that only he knew - this was why Amber wanted to 'capture' him alive, if he was killed directly he wouldn't be able to pass these verifications.

Although Lilith has completed other verifications in the same link, including the 'authorization code', the verification of the relevant authorized persons is independent and cannot be cracked by hacking.

And if it was a simple capture, judging from Captain Smith's performance, the other party would definitely not cooperate with the identity verification, so Amber could only choose to control the mind of this loyal captain.

"Authorization verification passed, please re-enter the induction beacon parameters"

After hearing this prompt, Amber immediately input the new parameters into the device with the help of Lilith. The location of this new induction beacon was exactly the core position of the formation of the Federal Fleet.

"Lilith, connect the equipment to assist in solving the problem! Speed ​​up the process!"

At Amber's command, Lilith immediately connected to the control equipment guiding the operation and began to assist in the solution.

With her help, the settlement speed of the entire induction beacon became incredibly fast, and the progress bar was filled up quickly visibly to the naked eye.

"Got it, Master!"

Lilith's voice sounded somewhat excited. Since Atlas had been growing stronger, she hadn't done such exciting actions with Amber for a long time, so she was also excited at this moment.

"Where's the proton annihilation bomb?"

"It's activated! Judging from the console here, the jump engine has captured the induction beacon and started, and has now entered an irreversible attack program!"

"finally."

Amber let out a long breath, then floated towards the bridge door without hesitation.

"Then the next question is how to evacuate from this battleship!"
