From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 794 Good morning, Your Majesty
As the affairs of the New Federation came to an end, Amber was also preparing to leave for the Star Dragon Empire, which was also in a state of disrepair after a huge battle.

So after leaving a group of capable personnel to work in the office and having Lilith set up a dedicated line to contact the New Federation at any time, Amber also took Isabel and others and entered the jump on the Crown Fortress.

This trip to the Star Dragon Empire, in addition to responding to Agnes' request to allow the Crown Fortress to be publicly exposed to stabilize the situation, the most important thing is to promote the various plans there to facilitate the deployment of the key project "Atlas Intelligent Management System" in the empire in the future.

There is basically no problem in advancing the project on the New Federation side. After learning about Amber's "big plan", Franklin was extremely shocked, but he also expressed that he would "exercise his power as the President of the New Federation" to advance the project.

Therefore, Lilith's next iteration and upgrade is imminent.
Amber's current plan is to transform the A.Bava.Ku Fortress directly into the data core of the Atlas Group. According to Lilith, after continuous iterations and upgrades, she will no longer need to stack server arrays to increase computing power.

Theoretically, an area about half the size of the A.Bava.Ku Fortress would be enough.

However, Amber decided to convert the remaining half of the space into Lilith's "computer room" as a system redundancy.

All the areas and facilities in the original A.Bawa.Ku Fortress, including the Zhongsi Academy, will be moved to the Mianluo Fortress.

After all, this is an artificial celestial fortress with a diameter of 450 kilometers and capable of accommodating 180 million people. It is more than enough to be used as the current mobile "main base" of the Atlas Group.

As for Agnes's opinion?
Ah, this isn't particularly important.
By the way, the current headquarters building of Atlas Group on Rubion V is more of a symbolic creation.

Core areas such as the R&D center, intelligence department, Zhongsi Academy, training center, etc. are actually all located in the A.Bava.Ku asteroid fortress.

Lilith had previously spent some time deleting all information about this asteroid belt from the Federation and Empire's navigation databases, as well as from the Internet. This also meant that other than the Atlas Group's ships, other forces couldn't even find this area at the moment.

After A-Bawa-Ku is completely transformed into Lilith's 'mother nest', all navigation information about this place within the Atlas Group will be cleansed, and only the highest-level people will be qualified to obtain the relevant navigation coordinates.

It also means that a "big hand" will completely "erase" A. Bawa. Ku from the human world.
-
The jump drive array of the Coronet Fortress is an old model that has not been improved by Salih, so the time to jump from the capital of the New Federation to the capital of the Star Dragon Empire, Saint-Saunière, is quite long.

But Amber was not bored during this journey.

Especially when the real commander of the Crown Fortress, the bionic man LLS943823, was sitting opposite him in the conference room, staring at him with a curious and slightly shy expression.

Currently, Lilith's body has been left in the data center of A Bawa Ku, where she is secluded to carry out preparations before the iterative upgrade and has temporarily cut off contact with the outside world.

The one currently in charge of the operation of the entire management system is a clone she left behind who is dedicated to maintaining system operations and network monitoring. This clone is obviously unable to follow Amber.

Therefore, the bionic man LLS943823 will replace Lilith and follow Amber during this period.

Although according to Lilith, the other person and herself are one.

Looking at this android who had been staring at her curiously since she boarded the fortress, Amber asked in confusion, "So are you Lilith, or LLS943823?"

"Master, I have completed the data exchange with LLS943823. This also means that I am Lilith, but this unique 'jungle' sample is also rare, so I have retained some of LLS943823's personality traits so that you can have a different experience~"

LLS943823 or Lilith smiled, then lowered her head shyly, her hands still nervously twisting her long hair that fell to her waist.

It can be said that the character of this bionic commander has indeed changed a lot compared to when they first met. Although he can still maintain an extremely strong aura in front of outsiders, he does have a bit of Lilith's "little bird-like" nature in front of Amber.

"So what's the difference between this, uh, android clone, and your real body? If I need your support in a battle or some activities like before, can this clone do it?"

"Of course, Master~"

LLS943823 nodded confidently, and then continued:

"The biggest difference between this bionic clone and the original body is that it has a physical entity in the material world. In addition to the conventional electronic warfare support, information query, network monitoring and other capabilities, this body also has extremely strong combat capabilities to protect you, Master."

At this point, LLS943823 also stood up and demonstrated the capabilities of this top-level combat body, including the single-molecule wires hidden in the arms, melee weapons such as thermal sabers, and a large number of interfaces that can connect to other external weapons.

Then the style of the painting suddenly changed, and he began to pose, showing Amber the "beauty" of this body, while giving a commentary that sounded very Lilith-style.

"In addition to what I just mentioned, the appearance features, body proportions and other data of this bionic man are all set according to your XP, Master. It even includes a complete set of XX organs, which will definitely bring you a different experience."

"Okay, stop talking. The only person who can suddenly make such a statement is you, Lilith."

Amber righteously stopped LLS943823 from making the next bolder move.

It was not because of his strong self-control, but because Isabel would come to him soon.
"Then I'll be relying on you to provide support during this period, but it shouldn't be a big problem. By the way, do you want me to call you Lilith or LLS943823?"

"It's all up to you, Master~"

"Then I'd better call her Lilith. There's something wrong with calling her LLS943823."
-
When the Coronet Fortress arrived in the orbit of Saint-Saunière, Amber also took the royal plane directly to the ground.

Since the Grand Palace was basically destroyed in the previous battle, it is still being rebuilt by subsidiaries of the Atlas Group and several local builders in the Empire.

As for the newly built Grand Palace, it was still designed by Master Jin Duoxi.

Agnes was currently living in a temporary palace on another continent on the planet. When Amber arrived, it would still be some time before Agnes could get up.

As she was not sleepy, after bothering the maids in the temporary palace to inform the empress as soon as she woke up, Amber went straight to the reception room of the temporary palace, waiting while checking many reports that had been missed.

Although the operation of the Atlas Group, as well as the training and combat of the fleet and combat units, are now under the charge of dedicated personnel, instead of being entirely decided by Amber herself as in the "grassroots team" period.

However, some regular reports and projects that require him to make final decisions have not decreased at all as the group has gradually expanded.
When Agnes woke up from a rare peaceful sleep and was told that Amber was waiting in the reception room, she was stunned for a moment.

As the former princess of the empire and now the newly crowned empress, she had long been accustomed to everything being carried out according to strict etiquette.

Although she had known that Amber would come to see her today, it was obvious that in the past, even her most trusted people would not choose such a time to meet her.
Amber's sudden visit broke this routine, but what made her more embarrassed was that she had just gotten up and had not finished dressing.

"Does Mr. Amber look anxious? Is there something important you want to discuss with me?" Agnes asked dazedly as she sat down on the bed. "Your Majesty, Mr. Amber doesn't look anxious. He didn't tell us he had something important to discuss. He has been resting in the reception room," the maid replied carefully.

Agnes took a deep breath and looked at herself in the mirror, looking a little disheveled. "Ask Mr. Amber to wait for a moment. I'll go see him when I'm done with my makeup."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The maid bowed and was about to leave to inform Amber when she was suddenly stopped by Agnes.

"Wait. I won't put on makeup anymore. I'm going to meet him now."

Agnes seemed to have thought of something. She quickly walked to the bathroom, rinsed her mouth and wiped her face, then walked towards the door in her pajamas.

Her action shocked the maids who were about to serve her.

The leading personal maid didn't know where she got the courage from, but she walked straight to Agnes.

"Your Majesty, it is against the interests of the royal family for you to meet Mr. Amber like this. It is absolutely inappropriate! If the news gets out, those guys who are not afraid of losing their heads will probably exaggerate and make up rumors."

"Then let the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Supervision Department quickly find these people and execute them!"

Agnes glared and spoke unhappily, but she did not slow down her pace at all.

At this time, even her personal maid did not dare to stop him. She could only watch the supreme ruler of the empire walk out of the room in his loose nightgown.

The helpless maid could only do at this moment to completely seal the temporary palace to prevent any rumors from spreading.

When Amber in the reception room saw Agnes in her nightgown and sleepy face appear in front of her, he was also stunned for a moment - his fire control radar locked onto the pair of large mines dangling under the nightgown with Agnes' steps in the first second.

Agnes naturally noticed Amber's slightly rude "little action", but she didn't say anything. Instead, she raised a smug smile at the corner of her mouth.

Others don’t know that the new empress has been catching up on some relevant knowledge through a federal emotional program depicting relationships between men and women called “So What If I’m a Little Scheming.”

This "trick" of appearing in front of the opposite sex without any defense is also something she has learned recently.

After losing the first round of battle with Isabel, Agnes realized that she couldn't snatch Amber away by simply "robbing".

Obviously, the imperial etiquette officer would not teach her how to get along with the opposite sex. After all, in the eyes of these old-fashioned people, no one could get along with this empress on an equal footing.
On the other side, Amber quickly turned away her 'rude' gaze after being stunned, and bowed slightly to Agnes.

"Good morning, Your Majesty. I hope my unwarranted visit did not disturb you."

"Mr. Amber always plays by his own rules, but given the relationship between us, there's no need for so much etiquette to constrain us~"

After the two exchanged a few simple pleasantries, Agnes immediately changed the subject, "Since Mr. Amber is here now, does that mean that the matter of the Federation or the New Federation has come to an end?"

Amber nodded. "Yes, Franklin has been inaugurated as the president of the New Federation and has taken the lead in launching comprehensive cooperation with the Atlas Group. The unstable factors within the Renaissance Alliance have also been eliminated. The New Federation is currently moving forward steadily according to plan."

Agnes raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Amber makes it sound easy, but from what I heard, a pretty thorough 'cleansing' was carried out."

"It's just removing some rotten branches and leaves so that new buds can grow better."

Amber spoke calmly, as if she was talking about a trivial matter. "And unlike the traditional 'Great Purge', there was no bloodshed."

Agnes chuckled. "That does sound reassuring."

"Compared to those, I am more concerned about the situation in the Empire."

Amber stopped wasting time and got straight to the point.

"In the next period of time, I will shift my focus to the Star Dragon Empire. The Atlas Group has sufficient technology and resources to help your Majesty consolidate your rule."

Agnes' eyes flashed with joy, but she soon regained her composure. "I am very grateful for your support, Mr. Amber. This is definitely a timely relief for me. In fact, since I ascended the throne, I have been trying to promote reforms, but the resistance from the older generation of nobles is greater than I expected."

"Those diehards are always like this. They would rather watch the empire decline than give up any vested interests." Amber shook his head slightly. After many exchanges with Norton II, he knew the nature of these old nobles too well.

"That's true, but even with the support of the Atlas Group, I have to proceed step by step. Otherwise, who knows if those nobles will use the excuse that 'the empress is controlled by outsiders' to cause chaos. You know, there have been a lot of rumors about Mr. Amber in the empire recently~"

"Oh? What kind of rumors?"

"For example, the discussion about whether Mr. Amber is a 'King-killer' or a 'King-servant'"

Amber was speechless: "These old nobles are all quite idle."

"Hahahaha~"

Agnes covered her mouth and chuckled, and this action activated Amber's fire control radar again.

"Let's not talk about this for now. There is another important matter. I received an invitation from the Phoenix King of the Thousand Star Empire. He hopes that I, as the newly crowned empress of the Star Dragon Empire, will make an official visit to the kingdom of elves."

"Oh? Isn't this a coincidence?"

Amber raised her eyebrows slightly: "Before I left the New Federation, Franklin, who had just taken office as president, also received an invitation from the Phoenix King. Even I was invited as the actual controller of the Atlas Group~"
