From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 661 Favor
Although Amber was very curious about why the commander sent by Her Royal Highness Princess Agnes of the Empire would be such a wooden man who was not good at speaking, the ups and downs of the business world during this period of time made him recover quickly, and then he said with a smile:

"Then we can have a drink next time, Baron Essex~"

"Okay, it's a deal, Your Excellency Amber. I'll take my leave now. I will convey your thanks and regards to His Highness."

Baron Essex nodded and cut off the communication. At the same time, the Imperial fleet near the Eternity accelerated and entered the jump, leaving only a flash of light.

"I thought that everyone around Her Royal Highness was as eloquent as you, Viscount Basf."

As Amber spoke, she looked at a virtual screen on the other side, on which was the smiling 'Princess Envoy'.

Looking out through the panoramic porthole behind the virtual screen, Viscount BASF's private armed cruise ship "Schcherbiech" also removed its optical camouflage and approached the "Eternity".

Viscount Basf, the "Princess's Special Envoy", also took the risk this time, and ambushed here with the Imperial Fleet on his own private armed yacht. Even when the two sides were fighting just now, he did not jump away, but let the armed yacht hide aside with optical camouflage.

"Hahahaha, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Amber. Baron Essex has this kind of personality. I've worked with Her Royal Highness the Princess for so long, and I'm often irritated by him. Please don't take it to heart."

Viscount Basf chatted with Amber in a familiar manner. Putting aside the increasing cooperation between the two forces, Amber and the Baron were actually very compatible in daily interactions. As both businessmen, they had a very good personal relationship. Even the Baroness had established a good relationship with Isabel during this period.

"It's okay~"

Amber shook his head. He naturally wouldn't have any thoughts about this matter. He had seen many more evil spirits who were even more dumb than this one in his previous life.

However, thinking of the other party's identity, he still asked curiously:
"I remember that someone who can sit in the position of fleet commander should be smart, if not very good at dealing with people. However, Baron Essex looks full of a 'classical' temperament."

"He is just a bit old-fashioned and serious. Mr. Amber doesn't need to be so tactful." Viscount Bassof smiled and continued to explain, "Baron Essex's family and their allies have always been loyal to Her Highness Agnes. In addition, he is absolutely strong in fleet command and is a leader among the young generals of the empire. Therefore, he was recommended by Her Highness the Princess during this large-scale promotion by the imperial military."

"Oh? So it seems that Her Highness the Princess is really good to her own people?"

"That's natural, just like our cooperation this time. After learning about your request for assistance, Mr. Amber, His Highness agreed without hesitation. The speed was so fast that I was a little slow to react at the time."

Amber: "So I said before that I must visit you in person someday to thank Her Royal Highness for your timely help."

"Hahahahaha, to be honest, Her Royal Highness has always hoped to meet with Mr. Amber for a detailed discussion. She is very optimistic about the future cooperation between the two sides and is also very concerned about it."

"Then please ask your Lord Baron to come and help with the matchmaking later." Amber said with a smile.

"It's my honor~" Viscount Basf also responded with a hearty smile.

In the Star Dragon Empire, the fief of Princess Agnes, the planet of Palavira. "Your Highness, is it really worth it for you to help the Atlas Group?"

The Imperial Princess was in the bedroom on the planet. The head of the Royal Guard Natalia handed the teacup to Agnes and said:
"The 22nd Strike Fleet's long absence from the defense zone has attracted attacks from the Regent. Although the Duke of Hastings and a group of naval officers on our side have been explaining that this is a practical long-distance combat exercise, it has still been criticized, especially at this critical juncture when you are about to ascend the throne."

Agnes took the cup of tea handed to her, took a sip and said:

"It is certainly worth it to make Mr. Amber or the Atlas Group owe us such a big favor. Besides, we can also take the opportunity to destroy the remaining manpower of the Federation Navy. Why not do it?

You are right, Lady Natalia, this is indeed a critical moment.

It is at this critical moment that I even hope that Mr. Amber can owe us a few more favors, because when they grow up, they may not have this opportunity~"

Natalia smiled after hearing this: "Your Highness, you are really optimistic about the Atlas Group~"

"I am optimistic about their potential. Judging from the current situation, my original judgment was even a bit conservative. And this time Mr. Amber came to me for help mainly because their Atlas Group's current production capacity has not yet reached its peak, and the number of fleets is still a bit insufficient in the short term, so he hopes that we can help act as a thug."

Having said this, Agnes paused for a moment, then looked at the captain of the guard beside her and continued:

"Sir Natalia, believe it or not, if Mr. Amber had a little more troops under his command, he would not think of owing us this favor. Moreover, according to Viscount Bass's observations and the information collected by the intelligence agencies, the Atlas Group's leading military technology is enough to support them to do this."

"I understand."

Natalia suddenly understood something.

"No wonder Your Highness does not need the large amount of free business provided by the Atlas Group, but instead proposes to provide free military assistance of equal or greater scale in the future."

Agnes nodded after hearing this. "Of course, the free ones are the most expensive. If we really choose the free services, we will have to bleed in the future. But free military aid is different. Although it is only once, if it can be used well and in key positions, with the 'elite' armed forces construction ideas demonstrated by the Atlas Group, it will definitely be a key move in the chess game."

"Although what you said makes a lot of sense, Your Highness, I still have to remind you." Natalia suddenly said seriously, "This 'key move' has the risk of backlash against us."

Agnes: "Of course I know that, and I admit that there is a gambling element in it. But sometimes we have to enter the game and place bets."
