From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 391 Saleh’s Warning
Just as Lilith continued to try to get Baninger to support her plan so that Amber would not be so ruthless when she caused trouble in the future, Amber, who had just finished the "bathroom meeting" with Alanita, also received another remote meeting request.

"What happened, Ms. Saleh? It must be late at night there, right?"

Amber asked as she looked at the Jeram man who appeared on the other side of the desk under the operation of the holographic projection device.

Saleh came over suddenly at this time, obviously not to chat.

"It is indeed an important matter." Salih said, with hesitation in her eyes, and the soft foot-like tentacles behind her head twisted anxiously.

"Actually, I wanted to look for you before, Mr. Amber, but the battle over there hasn't ended yet, so I didn't want to disturb you. Now I heard that things have calmed down for the time being, so I don't care what time it is now."

After hearing what Saleh said, Amber also became serious. After putting mental shackles on Saleh, he could feel Saleh's anxious mood.

"What happened?"

"The timeline has changed, Amber."

"what?"

Saleh's incoherent words confused Amber.

"timeline?"

"I can't tell you too much, otherwise there will be additional variables."

"No, you are not a riddle man." Amber was completely confused. He never expected that this 'old frozen meat' would come to him and tell him this in the middle of the night.

Looking at Amber's puzzled expression, Salih sighed helplessly. She knew that her words were incoherent and difficult to understand, but she really couldn't explain it clearly.

"I know you can use the power of 'mental shackles' to force me to speak out, but I must remind you that this will have very terrible consequences. All intelligent life in this universe may suffer a great disaster because of it."

Saleh explained the negative consequences as tactfully as possible, and her attitude also stopped Amber from using the mental shackles to directly interrogate her. The Jeram man guessed correctly, he was indeed planning to do so.

"Is it that serious? But you can't say it out loud, aren't you kidding me?"

The expression on Amber's face became a little funny. Although he is not a cat and does not have that much curiosity, he is the only "survival" left by a civilization that disappeared millions of years ago. After talking to him in a mysterious way for a long time, it would be a lie to say that he is not curious.

"Is there any other way to express it?"

“Well, let me put it this way. For this universe, I am an observer, so my every move will not cause any problem as long as it does not affect the natives of this universe.

But Amber, you are a native of this universe. From my perspective, you are an 'observer', so anything you do and any decision you make will have an impact on this universe, and the same is true for other people in this universe. The actions of all of you ultimately drive the timeline of this universe forward through one fork in the road after another."

Saleh said what she wanted to express in a way that tried not to cross the "red line", and Amber seemed to be thinking about something after listening to her words.

"I think I understand what you mean."

Amber's eyes lit up, and she snapped her fingers and said:
"So what you mean by timeline change is that the development of this universe has deviated from what you expected?"

"I do not know."

"Before you talked to me today, did something happen that caused the 'script' of this universe to change?"

"I can't say."

“Is this change good or bad?” “Not very good”

".What can you say about this?"

Amber curled his lips in annoyance. He felt that today's conversation with this "old frozen meat" was really a bit too brain-intensive.

"sorry."

"?"

Amber couldn't be bothered by Saleh's sudden apology. In fact, he had already realized that there were some things that Saleh really couldn't say, and he could understand that.

After all, after the "soul travel" incident, Amber still had a little bit of awe for these mysterious things, so he did not blame Saleh for being a riddler here.

"Is there any solution? Or do you have any suggestions for my next course of action?"

"I don't know either." Salih lowered her head, a helpless expression appearing on her face.

"Aren't you the think tank deacon? How come you can't even say this?"

Amber stared at the other person, his gaze seemed to have crossed countless light years and swept directly onto Saleh.

"I remember that those with the word 'think tank' in their job title are supposed to be well-informed and omniscient, right? And they are also very strong in combat, such as think tank curator, think tank director, and so on."

"I'm sorry that I don't know much about the past and present, and I'm not very strong in combat."

After that, Amber tried to knock on the side again, but unfortunately, apart from coming to the conclusion that "this is not good news, I may need to take some time to study it", she basically gained nothing.
-
After the conflict between Atlas and the Federation on Pyla IV came to an end, the entire galaxy entered a rare period of calm.

Although the Federation had two lieutenant generals in Atlas' hands, the entire planet's forces were out of command, not to mention that three unmanned fleets had inexplicably lost contact.

But the Federation seems to be planning to take a cold approach on this matter.

After issuing a statement expressing regret for the incident on Parabellum IV, no further comments were made through official channels, and the incident suddenly ceased to be discussed in major media and on social media platforms.

What's even more outrageous is that apart from some Federation long-range reconnaissance ships discovered on the edge of the Pella galaxy, Atlas has not discovered any other Federation naval units.

However, Amber roughly guessed the reason for this situation.

First of all, the Star Dragon Empire’s fleet will definitely not appear for a while, unless they break through the front line maintained by the Federal Navy in one go and try to capture this planet with no special output at all costs.

The reason why the federal government wants to handle the matter coldly is not difficult to understand. If you, as an adult, were slapped in the face by a child and several teeth were knocked out, would you publicize the incident and tell everyone you met, "A child slapped me and two teeth were knocked out"?

As for the reason why the Federal Navy did not dare to act rashly, it was even simpler, that was the three unmanned fleets that had lost contact.

Although the Federal Central Intelligence Agency currently has no evidence that the loss of contact with the unmanned fleet is directly related to Atlas, if we consider the worst-case scenario, Atlas will have three more unmanned fleets in this galaxy.
Due to the emergency withdrawal and sealing of other unmanned fleets, the Federal Navy, which was somewhat short of manpower on the front line, was now busy dealing with the Star Dragon Empire's counterattack and naturally had no time to "recover lost ground".

So for Atlas, a rare opportunity to drive a 'second nail' between the Empire and the Federation emerged.

As for the "first nail" that was driven in before - the Rubion Galaxy, its recent developments are also developing in the direction Amber expected, and the day when the entire galaxy will be "plucked" by Atlas is getting closer and closer.
