Chapter 241 Are You the Regent’s Man?
When the coalition forces found that the "tofu" in front of them was not only unbreakable, but also would attack people, the situation had actually begun to get out of their control.
Obviously, these defense companies and private military companies have never fought such a hard battle.
And they can only fight a favorable battle. Even if it is a "security battle" with mobs and rebels, as long as the intensity of the battle is slightly higher, they will be a little bit overwhelmed.
At present, the troops with relatively better organization can still organize defense on the spot and delay the attack of the imperial army with the support of rear firepower.
But many battalion-level units showed signs of collapse shortly after the combat contact.
According to Amber, these companies may not have figured out the definition of synthesis until now, but just made a framework according to the organization of the Federal Army, and they were completely disorganized when they really fought.
On the enemy and our situation map, Amber saw more than one company put the light synthetic battalion, which was mainly mobile infantry, ahead of the heavy synthetic battalion.
There was even a firepower battalion that followed the side and rear of a heavy synthetic battalion when the battle started, and did not even have time to build a temporary position.
As a result, several HCPs that were inserted from the "sieve defense line" were smashed into a pile of scrap metal in a short time.
Continuous exchanges of fire and explosions sounded throughout the entire front line.
From time to time, the white light of heavy particle cannons could be seen, sweeping between the battle areas of the two sides and causing a new round of explosions at the end of the beam.
High-energy lasers and charged particle beams kept flashing across the sky, detonating one after another of the accompanying unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the air.
After the initial half an hour of chaos, the coalition front gradually stabilized, after all, the advantage in numbers was there.
No matter how powerful the imperial forces were, they still had to attack the HCPs and main battle tanks on the coalition side one by one.
But even so, the coalition formation was changed from a huge semi-arc encirclement to an "anti-arc" with multiple protrusions.
These ‘salients’ are basically the units that stabilized the front and started to counterattack.
The Atlas mixed synthetic brigade is the largest salient on the front.
Thanks to Amber’s failure to expand the battle formation of the troops too wide, the mutual support between several battalion-level units is still relatively timely.
In addition, the two heavy synthetic battalions at the front each have an HCP company (10 HCPs), and they are led by Murat and Louis who have experienced many battles.
So from the perspective of the combat effectiveness ratio of battalion-level units alone, Atlas’ heavy synthetic battalion is the most powerful among the many battalion-level units of the coalition.
But from the information presented in the current battlefield situation map, the coalition has turned this encirclement and annihilation battle into a defensive battle.
Obviously, becoming a ‘salient’ in a defensive battle is definitely not good news.
“How long will it take for the ‘Observer’ to arrive?”
In the temporary brigade headquarters located on a hidden reverse slope, Amber stared at the enemy situation map in front of him with a serious expression, and asked without looking back.
"We will be able to reach the airspace above the war zone in 10 minutes, sir."
"Notify the rear operators to conduct penetrating reconnaissance directly. We must confirm whether all the imperial forces on the opposite side have come up."
Amber opened the tactical map, drew a straight line across the entire war zone, and then asked the staff to send it to the rear.
The technical soldiers responsible for the operation and course planning of the 'Observer' will set up detailed routes based on this general direction.
"How long will it take for the satellite to fly over the top for reconnaissance? And when will the orbital attack ships be in place?"
"Report to the sir! The one with the best path will fly over the top in 40 minutes!
Some of the orbital attack ships have gone to support the battles on the other two continents, so there are only two of them above our heads at present. According to the news just sent by the coalition headquarters, they will enter the strike orbit in 20 minutes!"
'Wolf-headed man' Hogg replied while looking at his personal terminal. He was basically assisting Amber in commanding today's battle.
Like other Roma, Hogg will 'awaken' the warlike gene deep in his blood after entering the combat state.
However, most of the other Roma showed their individual strengths such as strength, agility, and pain tolerance.
Hogg showed his strength with his brain.
After entering the battle, this "wolf-headed man" swept away his slightly clumsy image before, his mind turned quickly, and he even made several good suggestions that were adopted by Amber.
It can be said that Amber looked at him with new eyes.
"Very good, help me connect to the coalition headquarters. Since these guys don't have the ability to guide orbital attacks, why don't we do it!"
Just when Amber led his troops to fight to the death on Rubion V, the Atlas headquarters far away on the Peony Star of the Thousand Star Empire attracted a guest from the Empire.
The meticulously combed hair, the exquisite beard that has been popular in the upper circles of the Empire recently, the low-key style but extremely exquisite clothes, plus the private spacecraft docked in the spaceport
all indicate that this guest from afar is an imperial noble.
"Hello, Mr. Perseus. We have communicated remotely several times before. You agreed to come here today to discuss further, right?"
The receptionist at Babel Manor is a female Roma who has learned the universal language of mankind.
Her voice is very sweet, and her clothes are also the uniform professional clothes of Atlas civil servants.
The well-tailored clothes vividly outline the young Roma's muscular body.
If this were another male Roma, or a male employee of Atlas, he would probably not be able to bear to look at him more than once.
But what surprised the receptionist was that the middle-aged man in front of him kept smiling politely and showed no 'failure' behavior at all.
"That's right, I'm here today just to have an interview with your person in charge and talk about in-depth cooperation. Please believe that I'm here with sincerity."
"Don't worry, we are also sincere about this cooperation. I will take you to meet with the person in charge. She has been waiting for a long time~ Sir, this way please"
The receptionist made a gesture of invitation, then led the way two people ahead, and quickly brought Mr. Perseus to a reception room.
When Perseus sat down on the sofa in the reception room, he looked at the female elf sitting on the sofa opposite the tea table and frowned slightly.
"I just said that I come here with sincerity this time. As far as I know, the actual controller of Atlas should be a human male, not a female elf, right?"
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Perseus."
Shikodi, who has officially become the assistant to the chairman of Atlas Group, said in a slightly apologetic tone:
"Mr. Amber is actually looking forward to this meeting, but he is currently attending a very important 'business event' and may not be able to make it back in a while, so he has given me full authority to contact you, Mr. Perseus. "
After hearing Shikodi's words, Perseus's expression did not relax.
After all, what he wanted to communicate with Amber and the real initiator of this cooperation could not be put on the table casually.
So in his plan, this meeting should be in a relatively private environment, communicating with Amber in person.
Shikodi, who has strong observation skills, quickly noticed that this imperial noble seemed to be in a tangle.
Thinking of Amber's instructions before leaving, she smiled and said:
"Mr. Perseus, you can trust me. Just like His Excellency the Prince Regent trusts you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Perseus's whole demeanor changed.
Shikodi felt like a poisonous snake coiling its body alertly.
"It seems that Mr. Amber knows more than I thought. Now that you know who the person behind me is, I will tell you."
Perseus' tone made Shikodi unable to guess the inner thoughts of this imperial nobleman for a while.
"I hope to talk to Mr. Amber directly. Don't worry, I am very leisurely on weekdays. I can wait here until he comes back. Of course, if you find it convenient, taking me to see him directly is the most appropriate choice."
Hearing what Perseus said, Shikodi adjusted his glasses and said with a smile:
"It's not that I can't take you to see Mr. Amber, but the distance may be farther than you think."
"It doesn't matter."
