From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 592 The Secret of the Foundation
Amber never thought that this trip to the Pioneer Research Institute would bring her such explosive and shocking news.

Unexpectedly, the Star Dragon Empire's Royal Silencers appeared in the Truth Seeking Foundation's team—and they were not ordinary Royal Silencers.

As far as Amber knows, there is only one Royal Silencer who actually possesses level six psychic power at this point in time.

That is the "number one thug" among the Royal Silencer of the Star Dragon Empire, the personal guard of the old emperor Frederico Rosa Leon.
"No, why is this guy here? Is the old emperor here too?"

An absurd idea flashed through Amber's mind, but her hands did not stop moving. The psychic blade formed by her fingers turning into a knife continued to stab towards the chest of the Royal Silencer, whose middle door was already wide open, without stopping at all.

No player can resist the temptation to kill a level 6 psychic by himself.
Whether it is a game or reality.

Not to mention that the psychic in front of him, who has a broken hand, is also a Royal Silencer whose individual combat power ranks T1 under the same psychic strength. It is even very likely that the opponent is the internal guard of the old Emperor Frederico.

If it were in the game before, Amber would have already opened the game's built-in recording software and uploaded the first-person video of SOLO Royal Silencer to the forum.

The Royal Silencer in front of Amber also had a strong fighting will. Even with one hand broken, he suppressed the stress response in his body and then used his only remaining hand to gather spiritual energy to block Amber's attack.

At the same time, the Royal Silencer's left knee also hit hard at this moment.

Although there were no special effects, just a plain knee strike, Amber still didn't dare to take it head-on, because he knew that he was facing a fighting machine without any emotions, and a pure "numerical monster" - the kind that could take on anti-equipment attacks with its physical body.

So Amber didn't dare to slack off at all, and decisively defended herself to block the attack.

The Royal Silencer's combat prowess is not simply reflected in their psychic strength and mastery of psychic skills.

The bodies of these Star Dragon Empire's inner guards have been nourished by psychic energy for a long time, and the fighting skills engraved in their bones through rigorous training make them an elite fighting unit that ordinary people cannot contend with even without using psychic energy.

However, his defense and retreat immediately gave the Royal Silencer on the opposite side an opportunity.

The Royal Silencer, who had already put the storage box on his back and completely freed his right hand, immediately rushed forward after Amber blocked the knee attack.

With the help of his own muscles and combat uniform, his only remaining right hand rained down on various vital parts of Amber's body.

Amber only felt that a sea of ​​"fists" suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Although his dynamic vision at this time had reached a level that ordinary people could hardly imagine, high-level psychics were originally beyond the imagination of ordinary people, so he could only barely distinguish the opponent's attack line and try his best to push away these fists that were powerful enough to smash a person.

However, this round of fierce attack by the Royal Silencer was just a cover. When Amber completely turned to the defensive under the violent attack, the emperor's guard did not hesitate at all. He punched Amber back and then threw two plasma grenades.

He quickly distanced himself from Amber with his combat uniform cloak almost sticking to the expanding plasma fireball, and then used his psychic power to cover himself and go into stealth again.

"Oh no, this guy is trying to run away!"

The moment the other party disappeared into the shadows, Amber realized that the Royal Silencer was not looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on her, but was planning to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the battle.

Because the opponent obviously attached great importance to the storage box he got from the research institute. He kept the storage box firmly behind him during the battle, and moved the storage box in front of him the moment he disappeared into the shadows, using his body to firmly protect it - and this action was obviously not a preparatory action for attack.
Amber had already concluded that the other party must have found something in this research institute, so she didn't want to let this "elite monster" leave.

However, just as Amber loudly warned Salih and suddenly accelerated to chase the Royal Silencer, a large number of Foundation combat puppets suddenly rushed out and blocked Amber and the Royal Silencer like a tide.

"'Puppeteer'?!"

Amber suddenly pulled out a blue psychic blade light with her right hand, cutting the several puppet soldiers gathered in front into two pieces, and then glanced in the direction of the "puppet master", only to see that the latter had basically escaped from the influence of Salih's "hard control" and began to control the puppet soldiers again to attack Amber and the others.

Although he was extremely angry about the behavior of "selling out teammates" and wanted to twist the other party's head off, the "puppet master" still knew what was more important.

The other party's identity was obviously not someone he could afford to offend. Even if he didn't know the other party's true identity, the 'puppet master' knew that if he let the other party really fall here, he would definitely not have a good ending.

Before connecting with this mysterious psychic, the Puppet Master had actually guessed through various clues that the other party should be someone from the Star Dragon Empire, and was likely related to the secret investor behind the foundation.
So in this situation, no matter what the 'Puppet Master' thought of the psychic, he had to find a way to get him to evacuate safely.

On the other side, the Royal Silencer, who had already escaped into the shadows, naturally would not waste the opportunity created by the 'Puppet Master'. Taking advantage of the Foundation's puppet soldiers' interference with Amber, he quickly escaped from his lock.

In addition, Salih was now entangled by the puppet soldiers who had come back, and for a while, neither of them could find the psychic master who had entered the 'stealth' state.

"Okay, okay, if I can't catch this Royal Silencer, then why can't I catch you?"

Amber was completely furious after being obstructed one after another. Since the Royal Silencer had already fled and could not be stopped for the time being, she did not have to worry about being attacked by surprise.

Immediately, a series of psychic lightning started from Amber and radiated towards the surroundings like countless electric snakes.

Along the path of the psychic lightning, the control devices implanted in the heads of the Foundation's puppet soldiers were overloaded under the attack of the psychic lightning, emitting a series of sparks.

The puppeteer only had time to notice that the puppet soldiers in front of him turned black in an instant, and then an angry figure appeared in front of him. The psychic energy in the opponent's right hand was brewing and hit his face directly without any pause.

This mental shock was like an invisible sharp blade, piercing directly into the mind of the Puppet Master. The latter only felt a sharp pain in his head, as if thousands of needles were piercing his brain. The pain almost made him lose consciousness.

The spiritual energy gathered in the nerve bundle behind his brain also instantly went out of control, and the "threads" controlling a large number of combat puppets dissipated like fireworks, turning into spots of spiritual energy light, gradually extinguishing in the darkness.

"what!!!"

The 'Puppeteer' knelt on one knee, holding his head with both hands, breathing heavily, his vision became blurry, as if a thick fog covered his eyes.

Amber took the opportunity to activate telekinesis and gathered the surrounding metal fragments and wreckage. These metal fragments and wreckage seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and quickly gathered in the air to form a huge metal ball.

He injected spiritual energy into the metal ball, and the metal ball was instantly enveloped by spiritual energy, emitting a dazzling light. "Take my Wanxiang Tianyin!!!"

The huge metal ball smashed towards the 'Puppeteer'. The latter wanted to dodge, but Saleh, who had been connected to the 'control chain', restricted his movements with psychic power.

The metal ball hit him heavily with a dull thud. He groaned and his body fell to the ground. The blood spurting out of his mouth splattered all over the inside of his tactical visor.

However, the "Puppeteer" did not have to worry about his visor being covered in blood and unable to see the surrounding environment, because his tactical visor was forcibly pulled off by Amber in the next second.

At the same time, Amber, who had already grasped the opponent's nerve cord behind the head, did not hesitate at all. She used her right hand to crush the nerve cord she was holding, and then sent a highly aggressive spiritual energy along the remaining nerve cord directly into the opponent's brain.

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

The Puppet Master let out an inhuman scream and collapsed completely. However, because his nerve cords were firmly grasped by Amber, he could only slap the latter's arms in vain.

The Foundation puppet soldiers who had gathered nearby to "rescue" also completely lost control the moment their nerve cords were crushed, and the control devices implanted in their heads were also triggered as "safety" at this moment.

As the head of a Foundation puppet soldier closest to the 'puppet master' suddenly exploded, as if a chain reaction had been started, the heads of all the puppet soldiers controlled by the 'puppet master' in the institute also exploded one after another.

Compared to the artistic treatment in games or film and television works, the "brain fireworks" that appeared in front of Amber were not so beautiful and absurd.

Only blood remains.

Blood, brain tissue, body fluids, skull and muscle fragments were smeared everywhere in the explosion. The research institute, which was originally filled with the cold and mysterious style of the pioneers, suddenly turned into a bloody slaughterhouse.

In the virtual space 'Valhalla', Baninger and his companions, with Amber's authorization, watched the entire scene broadcast from the camera of the psychic combat suit. When they saw the 'blooming' heads in the first-person perspective, several veterans who had fought out of Robert IV - especially those who were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield when they first met Amber, felt that the memories of the dead began to attack them again.

"The Horror Headhunter is back"
-
Seeing that the 'Puppeteer' had been captured and those Foundation puppet soldiers no longer posed a threat, Amber immediately asked Saleh to try to search for the escaped Royal Silencer.

However, after using up his remaining spiritual energy to scan it carefully, the latter frowned and shook his head.

"He is a battle master. He concealed his 'psychic signature' very well, leaving no trace."

There was a rare hint of admiration in Saleh's tone. Since she woke up, this tone was usually only used towards Amber.

"I thought you were a special case, Amber, but it seems that Homo sapiens two million years later are much better at using psychic energy than before."

"Such a high rating? This is not your style~"

Amber glanced at Saleh with some surprise, then controlled the 'Puppet Master' and injected some first aid medicine into him to keep him alive, while accessing the communication channel of the 'Red Hand' strike team.

"Ramos, how is the battle outside going? I need you to intercept the ships that are trying to escape!"

"Boss, I was just about to report to you, but it has been showing that the fleet deployed by the Foundation near this ruins has basically completed the suppression in the battle. There are still some warships left to make the final resistance, but it is only a matter of time to deal with them."

Ramos hesitated for a moment, then continued:

"But now there is bad news. Another fleet has just broken away from the jump 27 kilometers away. The number is close to two-thirds of the main fleet. The destroyer sent out to try to get close to reconnaissance has just sent back news that this fleet seems to be the Star Dragon Empire Royal Navy."

"Imperial Fleet?"

"Yes, the Imperial Fleet has already reached combat speed and is heading straight for us!"

Amber was stunned for a moment, and then thinking of the Royal Silencer who had just escaped with the storage box on his back, he suddenly realized that the mysterious force that provided self-funding to the Truth Seeking Foundation was most likely the royal family of the Star Dragon Empire.

Taking into account the special identity of the Royal Silent Guard, the actual controller behind the Truth Seeking Foundation is most likely the old Emperor Frederico.

The Royal Silencer seemed to know the situation of this research institute very well, and his purpose was very clear. So Amber concluded that he was also aiming for the research results of "eternal life".

"Could it be that you want to extend the life of the old emperor? But there is no such plot in the previous life game."

The sudden connection between the Truth Seeking Foundation and the Star Dragon Empire royal family was something that Amber had not expected.

And because the "Back to History" plot line of the Star Dragon Empire was overhauled due to "copyright issues" before it was officially launched, many plots or side quests, including the final plot ending, became very unclear, so Amber now has no idea what the old emperor wanted to do after getting this "thing" in the research institute.

Judging from the fact that the other party disappeared in future plots, Amber estimated that the old emperor might have indeed done something at this point in time, but he still failed in the end.

Thinking of this, Amber made a decision in her heart.

At present, the 'Strong Luck' strike team has not arrived yet. It is obvious that the ships of the 'Red Hand' strike team alone cannot compete with the incoming Imperial Navy.

After all, the strike team consists of only conventional warships. If one of the two super flagships, the 'Infinity' or the 'Dawn', is present, Amber will definitely try to perform 'extreme operations'. But unfortunately, he doesn't even have the capital for 'extreme operations' now, so he can only give up.

"Ramos, prepare to end the battle and help us evacuate. We don't have many ships with us, so we won't fight the Imperial Navy head-on."

After talking to Ramos, Amber turned her head and looked at Saleh who was walking up to her.

"Salih, no matter what method you use, download all the information in this research institute as quickly as possible, and then see if there is anything worth taking away from the core area. We don't have much time!"
