From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 802: Dragon Lady Development Process

"Oh haha."

Amber was surprised by Agnes' sudden attack. After all, this was obviously not something a empress of noble status could do. This also gave him a different experience.

After a while, in order to divert her attention and not lose face in front of Agnes, Amber slowly said, "Okay, I won't hide it anymore. The fleet that set out early was going to investigate a clue that might be related to the prophecy of the Thousand Star Empire."

Agnes, who was busy, had a flash of surprise in her eyes when she heard Amber's words. She subconsciously wanted to look up and ask Amber for details, but how could the latter let her stop working at this critical moment?

So naturally, the driver's big hands grasped the steering wheel and controlled the out-of-control vehicle.

"Eh"

Amidst a series of meaningless sounds, Agnes finally raised her head in a somewhat embarrassed manner, staring at Amber with obvious anger in her eyes.

As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. In order to catch Amber, the "wolf", Agnes can be said to have regarded herself as one of the "chips". This is also the biggest gamble she has made in her life so far.

And Amber had never expected that the ruler of the Star Dragon Empire could do this.

"Your Majesty, are you hungry?

Amber spoke tentatively, trying to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Amber
Seeing that Agnes' tone became a little unfriendly, Amber immediately handed over a tissue and a wine glass, then sat aside obediently, looking like a "gentleman".

"So what is the prophecy? Mr. Amber, you can't fool me now, can you?"

"Of course not, Your Majesty, I will tell you everything I know. This is an ancient prophecy about 'darkness is coming, and the guide of the stars will appear'. This prophecy may be related to some kind of threat we are about to face."

Amber's eyes became deep, and he quickly told Agnes all the information he knew after eliminating the sensitive content.

In order to make the ruler of the empire take it seriously, Amber added some details to the information, emphasizing the dangers that might be encountered in the future.

Agnes's expression changed from "that's it" at the beginning, to disbelief, then to gradually seriousness, and finally she became visibly uneasy.

"Mr. Amber, are you sure you're not kidding me?"

"Of course not. Your Majesty's content and conclusion just mentioned are my biggest concerns at the moment. It is precisely because I need to integrate enough forces that I choose to share information with you."

"Why didn't you tell me such important information earlier?"

"Because we still have too little information, I don't want to cause unnecessary panic without solid evidence."

Agnes pondered for a moment, then approached Amber again, this time she leaned directly into his arms: "Is there anything else you haven't told me, Mr. Amber?"

Amber could feel her body temperature and smell her unique scent, all of which made his mind a little hazy.

At this moment, he had to admit that Agnes's strategy was indeed effective, especially for him - sometimes physical intimacy could bring people closer and lower their defenses better than words.

But since these contents were meant to be shared, let's just consider it as the 'fee' paid in advance for Agnes' 'Kill with Death'.

"Your Majesty, some things really should not be revealed too early, but I promise you that once there is accurate information, you will be the first person to know."

Agnes's lips curled up into a smile, and she gently traced Amber's jawline with her fingers: "I trust you, Mr. Amber, but please remember that as a partner and such a close friend, I hope to gain more of your trust in the future."

Just as the atmosphere became more ambiguous, Amber's personal terminal suddenly vibrated and projected a message from Isabel, saying that the intelligence exchange meeting seemed to be ending early and she was on her way back.

Agnes smiled softly after seeing the message: "It seems our time is up."

Then, she stood up gracefully and adjusted her dress. "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Amber, and for this pleasant conversation."

Amber stood up as well, bowing slightly to her while pulling up her pants. "It's my pleasure, Your Majesty."

Agnes walked towards the door, but before leaving, she looked back at Amber with a complex emotion in her eyes that was difficult to read: "The rumors about that engagement may not be as ridiculous as you think."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Amber standing alone in the middle of the room. Behind her was the sofa where she had just sat, still retaining her body temperature and fragrance.

"What a dangerous woman."

Amber muttered to herself before walking back to the bar and pouring herself a glass of warm water.

He looked back at the somewhat messy sofa and the marks on the carpet, then added:

"Turn on the air freshener function. Well, the robot will clean the room at the same time."
-
A hyperspace jump of more than half a month might be long and difficult for ordinary people, but it was not difficult for the members of the Crown Fortress. The spacious interior space of the fortress often did not make them think that they were actually traveling in deep space.

For Amber, the past half month seemed like a blink of an eye.

This was not because of his special physique as a psychic, nor was it because he was accustomed to the loneliness of space travel.

It was because during this journey, Agnes, who had tasted the sweetness, looked for opportunities to be alone with him almost every day in various ways, leaving him no time to feel the passage of time.

Whenever Isabel was distracted by various unexpected "meetings", the Queen of the Star Dragon Empire would always arrive as promised and knock on Amber's door.

"Mr. Amber, I suggest you eat more fruits and vegetables. The taste has been a bit strange these days. It must be that you have consumed too much meat recently."

"???puff."

Amber almost choked on the food in her mouth at Agnes's words.

Over the past half month, there have indeed been subtle changes in the relationship between him and Agnes. After that night, the boundary between the two seemed to be broken, and Agnes no longer concealed her affection and possessiveness for him.

"Your Majesty, where did you read this? Who told you that you can change the taste?"

"That's what Amber is talking about, don't you understand~" Agnes raised her head proudly, shook her finger and continued, "If you eat more fruits and vegetables, it can effectively adjust the taste, especially those acidic fruits, which can produce a slight sweetness."

"."

However, these "interactions" with Agnes were more like small episodes in this journey. Amber was more concerned about what changes the trip to the Thousand Star Empire would bring, and how the exploration mission on Saleh's side was progressing.

According to the mission time, Saleh's fleet has theoretically exited the jump and started trying to approach the mysterious observatory.

"Countdown to exit hyperspace begins: ten, nine, eight"

The voice of the Crown Fortress's control personality rang out throughout the command center. Amber stood in front of the simulated panoramic porthole in the core command room, with Agnes and Isabel beside her.

In the various deployment bays of the Crown Fortress, the accompanying fleet has also completed its preparations, waiting to leave the port as soon as possible after leaving the jump.

".Three, two, one, hyperspace jump terminated."

As the controlling personality's voice fell, the hyperspace tunnel in front of Amber suddenly disappeared in a twist, and was replaced by a magnificent starry sky.

And in the center of the starry sky, a planet surrounded by a blue-green halo is rotating quietly - this is the capital planet of the Thousand Star Empire, Eldaram.

What is even more eye-catching is the fleet arranged in a specific formation in the planet's orbit. They are not cold warships made of metal and alloys, but a series of huge creatures shaped like living things - the biological warships of the elves.

They look like a hybrid of giant marine life and plants, with glowing patterns covering their surface. They slowly "cruise" in space, demonstrating a biotechnology system that is completely different from human technology.

"Looking at it this way, it's still so spectacular." Amber couldn't help but comment in a low voice. The last time he saw the elves' organized fleet was in the game.

"It's really amazing." Isabel couldn't help but admire, "The elves' biotechnology is really well-deserved."

Agnes on the other side keenly caught the key part of Amber's words, "Or? It seems that Mr. Amber has seen the elves' fleet before?"

"Hahaha, of course I've seen it through the holographic image~" Amber replied quickly and changed the subject.

Soon, a communication request from the Thousand Star Empire was connected to the system of the Crown Fortress, and a tall, delicate-looking elf man appeared in the holographic projection.

"Welcome to Eldaram, dear human friends."

The voice of an elven male is as clear as flowing water, and carries the unique temperament of the elves.

"I am Orion, the chief attendant of the great Phoenix King. I am here to guide you on the orders of my king. Please accept the guidance of our welcoming fleet. Go to the designated berth."

Amber and Agnes, the two "leader-level" figures, briefly expressed their gratitude, and then ordered the Crown Fortress to release the accompanying fleet and advance according to the guidance of the elven fleet.

Soon, they discovered the New Federation's fleet in orbit, as well as the Truth-class battleship 'Freedom Dawn' purchased from the Atlas Group - which was also the flagship of the New Federation Navy.

According to the planned schedule, the Crown Fortress and the accompanying fleet will stay at a specific berth in high orbit, while delegations from all parties will go to the ground for a formal meeting.

So Amber, Agnes, Isabel and others quickly boarded the shuttle to reunite with Franklin. The president of the New Federation had actually arrived two days ago, but he did not go alone. Instead, he stayed in the fleet waiting to reunite with Amber.

"Mr President."

Amber was the first to greet Franklin, and the two shook hands symbolically. Because of the presence of Agnes, an "outsider" who didn't know the details of the situation, Amber was not as casual as usual.

Franklin nodded in response, then turned his gaze to Agnes: "Your Majesty Agnes, I have heard of your name for a long time. I am glad that we can meet here."

Agnes nodded gracefully. "Mr. President is also very impressive, and younger than I thought. Our Star Dragon Empire has always been paying attention to the development of the Renaissance Alliance, or the New Federation, under your leadership."

The rulers of the two major human kingdoms began an exchange full of diplomatic rhetoric, discussing peace, cooperation and common development, their words full of the caution and courtesy unique to politicians.

Amber stood aside, watching the scene quietly, and felt that this kind of courtesy was a bit boring. However, it wasn't long before Franklin brought her into the conversation.

"Mr. Amber's Atlas Group is the most important and steadfast ally of our New Federation!"

Franklin smiled and said to Agnes: "Without the help of Mr. Amber and the Atlas Group, the New Federation would not have been able to rebuild from the war so quickly."

Agnes nodded in agreement, then glanced at Amber meaningfully: "Mr. Amber is indeed a visionary leader, and the strength of the Atlas Group is indeed unprecedented. Otherwise, our Star Dragon Empire would not have such a magnificent Crown Fortress, right, Mr. Amber?"

"Haha, this is all due to the hard work of the empire's scientific research and military personnel. I dare not take all the credit for it."

Of course Amber knew that Agnes was taking this opportunity to complain about him taking the Crown Fortress by surprise. Although he still maintained a decent smile on the surface, he was already thinking that the next time he interacted with Agnes, he might still need some "small punishment".

After Amber joined the conversation, the two heads of state became noticeably more relaxed and the conversation became less restrained.

Soon after, the shuttle arrived at a spaceport above the planet. The Phoenix King's chief aide-de-camp, Orian, formally met with everyone and prepared to lead them to the ground.

They were led to a huge biological structure - the heaven-earth transportation system called 'Xian Teng' by the elves.

It was a thick vine-like structure that extended from the spaceport to the ground, or in other words, the spaceport actually grew out from the end of the 'fairy vine'.

The surface of the 'Immortal Vine' is covered with glowing patterns, and in orbit it looks like a mythical tree that reaches the sky.

"This technology is incredible." Franklin couldn't help but sigh quietly. For him and most of the humans who were accompanying him, this was undoubtedly some kind of spectacle.

"What's even more 'incredible' is yet to come. The elves' advanced technology is far more advanced than we could ever imagine," Amber replied calmly.

Agnes glanced at Amber again, and the meaning in her eyes became more profound: "Mr. Amber, it seems that you know much more about the elves than we do. Sometimes I am really curious about how many secrets you have in your mind that we don't know about."

“This is also a secret~”
