From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 344 Prophecy
"Battlefield Angel? Are you sure that's what those people said?"

In the conference room on the Hermes, Amber's brows immediately furrowed after hearing Hogg's report.

"Yes, Boss. The first batch of infantrymen who landed have been sent back from the main perspective. Among the refugees near the ten airdrop zones, there are religious believers who call us 'Battlefield Angels'."

Hogg answered seriously. Having shown his talent for command in the last battle of Rubion V, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the ground operation this time, coordinating the combat dispatch of the armed forces in the ten airdrop zones.

Seeing that Amber was listening to his report carefully, he glanced at the document he had prepared in advance and continued:

"Based on our ground forces' contact with these fellow villagers."

"Puff folks"

Hearing this familiar name, Amber couldn't hold back his excitement. He even had the illusion that a red star rose behind Hogg.

"Boss?"

"Ahem, sorry for losing my composure just now. Please continue." Amber knew that she was not being serious at all, so she immediately adjusted her mood.

"After contacting fellow villagers, we found that those who called themselves "Battlefield Angels" all believed in the same ancient religion. The colleagues in the Intelligence Analysis Center (upgraded from a small group) are already collecting detailed information about this religion.
According to the information we have collected from the locals, this ancient religion has always had a prophecy that when the world falls apart and humanity falls into inevitable chaos, armed angels in white armor will appear on the battlefield and bring order and stability. "

At this point, Hogg's tone became a little strange. He glanced at Amber and continued.

"According to the prophecy, these battlefield armed angels are not human, but from other races. However, the true God on the throne is a living saint who transcends reality and illusion."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became a little strange. Everyone, including Isabel and Cleves, couldn't help but look at Amber.

Even Randall and others who were attending the meeting via remote video mode on the screen couldn't help but look at Amber sitting in the main seat.

After noticing everyone's gazes, Amber was speechless for a moment.

"No, why are you all looking at me? Do I look like a real God or a living saint?"

"It's true. If he were a real god, he would have fulfilled my wish of spending the night with the fairy model."

Randall, who is good at playing the supporting role, spoke up, and it can be seen that he has a lot of resentment towards the 'elf model'.

Because of his words, the strange atmosphere in the conference room disappeared, and was replaced by a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

"Alright, alright, stop laughing." Amber raised her hand and pressed it lightly, interrupting everyone's laughter, and then continued:

"As for the issue of this prophecy, let our colleagues at the Intelligence Analysis Center continue to follow up and clarify the situation of this prophecy and this religion. For the time being, the frontline troops should not make any changes due to this prophecy and should just maintain normal communication with the refugees."

If this happened in the world where Amber lived in her previous life, most people would probably just laugh it off and not pay too much attention to it if something like this happened on the battlefield.

But in this world where the power of "idealism" does exist, the way of dealing with things is somewhat different. And for Amber, who has experienced the power of "prophecy" in "Starry Sky OL", he will indeed be more cautious in dealing with these things.

Because in the world of "Starry Sky OL", the word "prophecy" does have a certain meaning, and it is not just a sentence in the plot background or setting. Most of the ancient "prophecies" are basically confirmed one by one in the game.

Add to that the words 'battlefield angel', 'true God on the Holy Throne', and 'living saint who transcends the void', and it would be impossible to say that Amber had no ideas.

However, the most important task at present is to handle the "humanitarian aid" mission on Pella IV and fire the most critical first shot of Atlas.

While sorting out the priorities in her mind, Amber continued:

"The combat environment, complexity of the rules of engagement, and the enemy's combat intensity are far higher than those we have experienced before, so I hope everyone can take it seriously. At the same time, you can use this mission to test various new equipment and promptly report any problems you encounter to the equipment R&D center."

Having said that, Amber also looked at Hogg, who was in charge of ground command.

"Hogg, after the various camps are stabilized, you can try to negotiate with the command of the Federation and the Empire to improve the relationship, and then try to have a small team identify themselves and go deep into the war zone to search for the civilians trapped in the war zone."

As Amber deployed the instructions one by one, all the Atlas personnel involved in the mission also started to move. The fleet continued to cruise in orbit, protecting the ships that were carrying out airdrop operations and the aerospace transport aircraft that broke into the atmosphere.

Large amounts of supplies, building materials and equipment were also continuously transported to the ground. While filling up the material reserves in various camps, the ten deployed combined battalions also replenished their vehicles and mechanical units.

Under the watchful eyes of many parties, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner——
When the war breaks out, different people have different perceptions of the speed of time.

In non-war zones, especially those galaxies that have not yet been affected by the war, people there still lead a peaceful and prosperous daily life.

In their view, the biggest impact of the war is rising prices and the reduction in the length of daily prime-time entertainment programs, with the extra time being used to report on war activities at the front.

Apart from that, their pace of life doesn't seem to be affected.

So in the perception of these people, the days are still passing as fast as before, and it feels like more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

But for those in the war zone, even the days passing by seem like years.

Amid the rumbling sounds of cannons and explosions, every second felt like an eternity, which was their true perception of the speed of time.

The same thing happened to the ground forces deployed by Atlas on Pyra IV. As they maintained the camp operations, gathered refugees, and guarded against the armies of the Federation and the Empire, they discovered that time passed so slowly.

Except for the troops that had already fought a battle on Rubion V, half of the troops deployed to Pella IV this time were newly formed units that had not yet been tempered by battle.

When the initial excitement passed, these Roma people who once lived their own lives in the Thousand Star Empire finally realized why war is always said to be cruel.

This is especially true for those team members who go deep into the war zone to search and rescue refugees.
