From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 515 Can you perform that again?
After Johnny Riding returned to the hangar in dejection for the second time, his mentality changed.

The reason why he had achieved an 'undefeated' record during training was simply because those stronger people did not take action.

And when these people were really willing to fight with him, Johnny Riding finally realized that his "talent" might be really strong in the eyes of others, but it was nothing in the eyes of some truly strong people.

At the same time, the 'genius boy' was also very curious about how Murat, who was said to have no talent in HCP driving and was a rookie who could only hide and shoot from a distance two years ago, had grown to his current level.

If Murat, who was walking in front of Johnny Riding, heard this question, he might generously tell this "genius boy" to follow Amber in actual combat for two years, and then have 1V1 with this real "monster" whenever he had time. In this way, he would only grow faster and more thoroughly than himself.

Soon, the two returned to the crowd, and Murat soon saw Amber staring at him with a smile. He immediately stepped forward, stood at attention and saluted, and his "careless" temperament disappeared in an instant.

Instead, there is a serious temperament like a "veteran soldier".

"Boss, why are you here too?"

"I just happened to need to find you guys for something, and then I heard that you were all here, so I just followed along to see what was going on~" Amber walked to Murat, looked at him and smiled, then turned to look at Johnny Riding on the other side.

"Are you the 'genius pilot'?"

After being called by Amber, Johnny Riding subconsciously trembled, then immediately stood at attention. Although the man in front of him, who looked young, had a harmless smile on his face, Johnny Riding still felt a sense of pressure from him.

If he guessed correctly, this should be the "psychic pressure" that psychics possess.

"Hello!"

"Don't be so reserved. You are our Atlas customers. Relax a little~"

Amber said as she looked around at the Rubion trainees around her.

The Renaissance Alliance really wants to seriously build up its talent pool this time, and the trainees sent here are all relatively young, basically young people between the ages of 18 and 22. At this age, their learning abilities have not completely degenerated, and there is still time for them to undergo body modification or strengthening surgery.

This shows that Franklin is not joking, but is really thinking about the future of the Renaissance Alliance. He also realizes the importance of these professional fighters. After training several batches through the Atlas Group, they can also start to make some attempts to cultivate talents.

Looking at these young men and women who might very well fall on the "Road to Rise" of the Renaissance Alliance in the future, Amber sighed imperceptibly, and then said to them seriously:

"The Renaissance Alliance has chosen you, which means you are all the most promising talents in the alliance. I also hope that you can take the training seriously. If you have any questions, just ask the instructors directly. It is better to suffer now than to lose your life on the battlefield in the future.

And you are not just doing this for yourselves, you are also doing this to protect your family, friends, and other ordinary people in the Renaissance Alliance in the future.
So, try your best in this last training session, and don’t let down the expectations of so many people behind you~"

After saying these polite words of encouragement, Amber prepared to let the others resume their training, and he could also discuss with Murat and the others about the possible next trip to the Rubion galaxy.

But at this moment, Johnny Riding, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly plucked up the courage to look up at Amber, and then asked nervously:

"Mr. Rebir, can an HCP pilot really change the situation in a battle?"

"Good question. If you want me to ask, of course I will say yes."

Johnny Riding: "Are those rumors about your 'one-man fleet' true?"

Although she didn't know why the young pilot suddenly asked this question, Amber nodded and replied: "There may be some artistic processing, but it is indeed true~"

Hearing this, Murat, who had just been promoted to the 'Atlas Idea King', his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said at the same time:
"The atmosphere has been set to such an extent, how about you teach these trainees a lesson, Boss?"

"This is not appropriate, or people will say I'm bullying." Amber hesitated. It wasn't that he looked down on these trainees, but the difference in strength between the two sides was indeed a bit large. "You can be the 'imaginary enemy' and conduct a single-plane assault fleet exercise, and let these trainees be the defenders. Besides, the only training subject for this small mobile fleet is 'air defense operations'~"

Murat's words were instantly supported by everyone present, and everyone looked at Amber with expectant eyes.

After all, whether it is the ordinary crew members of the Atlas combat fleet or the trainees from the Rubion galaxy, they usually don’t have the opportunity to witness the HCP breaking the formation alone.

Not to mention being the one who is 'broken through' and experiencing it for yourself.

In the end, Amber did not disappoint everyone's expectations. Just like Murat said, the atmosphere had been set to this point, and it seemed a bit inappropriate for him to refuse.

Moreover, after the last defense of the A.Bava.Ku Fortress, Amber had not conducted high-intensity exercises for a long time, except for some routine training to maintain her condition. In other words, she was "itchy".

As Amber nodded and walked towards the room to change into heavy hydraulic anti-gravity suits, everyone cheered and took action.

Of course, not everyone is happy at this event.

The captain of the heavy cruiser under Amber's feet and the commander of this small mobile fleet was not so happy.

As he watched a fully equipped 'Sacred Shield' that had been completed and repaired rush out from the electromagnetic catapult track and accelerate away into the deep space in front of the fleet, he said to his adjutant somewhat helplessly:
"No, no one told me that the 'air defense operation' exercise subject is that the boss will directly serve as the 'imaginary enemy'?"

"What a coincidence, Captain, I just found out that the person sitting inside is the Boss."

"."

"Fight-Fight-Alarm!"
-
As the 'imaginary enemy', Amber did not drive the 'ATLAS' heavy HCP specially designed to break the formation this time, but directly found a fully equipped 'Holy Shield' that had been completed and repaired in the ship and ejected it.

After all, the target of the confrontation is only a small mobile fleet, not a full-strength fleet like before. If the 'ATLAS' is really launched, this mobile fleet and the Rubion trainees will only feel 'very bad experience'.

It is very likely that before it can capture the target, it will be hit by the heavy weapons on the 'ATLAS' at a very long distance.

As for the final outcome of this exercise, there was actually not much suspense. Although Amber was only driving an ordinary HCP, she still killed a large number of HCP pilots, including Johnny Ridden, as well as 5 light cruisers and several destroyers.

Before all the ammunition was used up, he successfully paralyzed the power unit of the heavy cruiser that served as the flagship. Finally, under the desperate gaze of the captain, he pierced the heavy sword, which was already at the end of its strength, through the armor layer and inserted it into the bridge.

Of course, these damage assessments were all determined by the combat system, and Amber couldn't really stab the heavy sword in, but only gestured a few times on the deck directly above the bridge.

However, if the heavy cruiser's power unit was paralyzed and its bridge was destroyed in actual combat, it would basically lose the ability to continue fighting, and the remaining survivors would have to abandon the ship and escape.
From Amber's point of view, in the confrontation exercise just now, the pressure given to him by the Rubion trainees was almost zero. Apart from Johnny Riding blocking him for a few seconds, the only thing that left an impression on him was the heavy combat boat squadron commanded by Manfred.

I don't know if it's because the name really has some kind of bonus, but this "Red Baron" insisted on using this unit, which is currently used more for anti-ship operations, to engage in a fight with the HCP.

As for the other trainees, Amber could only say that their presence might not be as strong as the fixed anti-aircraft firepower of the warships.
"We need to practice more!" After leaving these words to the instructors, Amber took Murat and others out of the hangar.

Only the instructors who began to quickly think of "intensive training" in their minds and the Rubion trainees who felt a chill on their backs were left.

After Amber, Murat and the others returned to the asteroid fortress and found a vacant meeting room, Amber did not keep the topic in suspense and went straight to the point.

"Be prepared. There may be some activity in the Rubion system recently and you may need to go on an errand."
