Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

What were the higher-ups thinking that they would consider such an action that would harm the enemy a thousand while also damaging themselves eight hundred?

Are we just going to let this P46, this protection order envoy, take over command? Does this young man even understand large-scale fleet operations? Is he really just here to gain experience and qualifications?

However... the guardians can indeed do whatever they want until a major problem arises.

Therefore, both the conservative officers in the fleet and the high-ranking officers who favored Oswaldo reached a rare consensus at this moment.

In this operation, they decided to put aside past grievances, not interfere or ask questions, and resolutely carry out Lin Yuan's orders, making sure everything was documented so that if anything went wrong, they wouldn't be held responsible.

Therefore, with Lin Yuan speaking and no one objecting, the plan was implemented and deployed by the General Staff.

Soon, the sentinel array reported that the specific star sector coordinates had been locked.

At Lin Yuan's command, the Third Fleet slowly set sail from the dock and began to assemble in formation in the starry sky.

........

As we left the situation room, Bronson leaned in and whispered:

"Captain Lin, those guys seemed a bit perfunctory. They didn't say anything, but they seemed to look down on us... Maybe..."

Bronson made a gesture.

"Remove them all and replace them with some obedient ones?"

"There's no need for that," Lin Yuan said with a faint smile.

"Changing commanders mid-battle will affect the fleet's combat effectiveness. As long as they can carry out orders, that's fine. Don't worry, no one is foolish enough to cause trouble at this time. We'll talk about everything later, but—"

Lin Yuan shook his head, somewhat wistfully:

"So why did I launch this operation? Of the two remaining Guardian Commanders within the company, Taravan has already demonstrated the power of a Commander over a long period of time. Diamond also has the record of clearing out an entire sector of Zerg swarms."

As for me, I've just established myself in the company, but if I want to advance further and truly gain the respect of everyone, I need to choose a suitable target to showcase my abilities.

Seeing Bronson's sudden realization, Lin Yuan hadn't finished speaking.

According to his observation, this Third Fleet wasn't just comprised of people from the market development department. Other departments and the board of directors were also watching.

This operation was also a formal test for him, the newly appointed commander, by the board of directors.

Throughout the company, countless people in the know are preparing to watch the spectacle unfold.

"Since you all want to see it, then let me show you."

Lin Yuan showed no sign of tension. After the battle with Huanlong, he had long wanted to test his strength.

........

"Whether or not your world has the concept of day and night, I wish you all a good morning, noon, and evening."

As Lin Yuan turned a corner in the corridor, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from not far away.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people dressed in different clothes holding various devices and recording videos.

In the center of the frame, a human figure... no, a bird figure, is excitedly talking into a microphone.

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. Those snow-white feathers, yellow eyes, and the top hat on its head—wasn't that a Gimmick?

He showed interest and slowly walked forward.

After recording a segment, Jimi breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes, and took a glass of water from his assistant to clear his throat.

"Are you guys filming a program?" Lin Yuan's voice suddenly came.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the field equipment they were carrying suddenly issued a warning: the young man in front of them was actually a P46-level executive!

Then, a fawning, anthropomorphic smile appeared on the snowy owl's face. It rubbed its wings back and forth, its eyes narrowed, and its face was full of obsequiousness.

"Boss, you're absolutely right. We're the team from Interstellar Peace Broadcasting sent to record this company parade. You can call me Jimi!"

As he spoke, Jimi picked up his top hat and bowed, his smile growing even warmer.

"parade?"

A look of surprise flashed across Lin Yuan's eyes, but then he suddenly understood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Jimi? I know you. I watched your program at this year's Tech Saddle Motorball Tournament. You did a good job. Keep up the good work."

Hearing the young man's words, Jimi's face showed a flattered expression. It quickly let out a hearty bird laugh:

"Hehehe, boss, I'm truly honored! I, Little Jimi, will definitely continue to work hard and contribute to the company!"

Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled and patted the other person on the shoulder as encouragement—to be honest, the bird feathers felt really nice.

"Hehehe, sir, please wait a moment."

Seeing Lin Yuan about to leave, Jimi suddenly called out to him. It lowered its voice and asked cautiously:

"Boss, could you give me some details about this military parade? It would help me write my report. When they sent us here, they only said it was a secret operation, and they didn't tell me any details."

Seeing the inquisitive look in the snowy owl's yellow eyes, Lin Yuan nodded with pleasure:

"Oh, it is indeed a military parade to showcase military strength, and it is indeed classified. I can tell you, but you'd better think it over—once you know, you must abide by the confidentiality regulations for the operation."

"Hehehe, definitely, definitely!"

The little bird nodded its head like it was pecking at rice, its face full of anticipation.

"This time, we are going to fight against the Great Monarch of Annihilation, Xingxiao."

Lin Yuan said softly.

In an instant, the white snowy owl in front of me suddenly seemed to turn even paler, and its lively expression abruptly froze.

"Boss, you must be joking with me, right?"

In a daze, Jimi murmured something.

"Is it right?"

In the silence, Lin Yuan simply watched it quietly.

Before she could speak, tears streamed down her face. Two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks.

"Please, can I apply to go back?"

"Yes, according to the confidentiality regulations for this operation, we can send you back to face a military court."

Lin Yuan said with a smile.

Chapter 269: Engage the Enemy

In the end, Jimi stayed. But when it left, it seemed somewhat lost in thought.

Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head. This little episode added a bit of fun to the tense pre-battle atmosphere.

He looked through the viewing window in the corridor at the lights that kept appearing in the starry sky—the warships of the Third Fleet were gathering.

"It's time."

Lin Yuan didn't linger and turned to leave.

Soon, the once empty starry sky was filled with warships of various types.

The powerful task force, consisting of hundreds of ships including frigates, destroyers, cruisers, battleships, and the colossal Titan flagship in the center, finally revealed its full form.

In the flagship's command center, Lin Yuan gazed at the fleet on the star map, feeling the power to control the stars, and couldn't help but recall that saying:

"Our fleet blots out the sky, no matter how many suns there are in the sky."

"Set off."

He spoke softly, and the order to depart at full speed was issued from the flagship.

The Third Fleet set sail from here.

........

In the desolate universe, coldness and loneliness are the main themes.

On a scale spanning thousands of light-years, the emergence of life is like a miracle, a touch of warmth adorning this cold universe.

But at this moment, the planet that nurtured life has been reduced to shattered fragments, returning to its deathly state.

Hundreds of system times ago, the antimatter legion descended.

When this civilization, which had been ravaged by the Star Core Disaster and hadn't even managed to leave its home planet, encountered an overwhelming army, its fate was predictable.

The planet was transformed into a fiery inferno, and billions of intelligent beings were reduced to phantom soldiers in the crucible, replenishing the legion's ranks.

After a magnificent destruction, the entire planet shattered and was ultimately used as fuel to power the legion's conquest of the next world.

But if you observe more closely, you can discover—

Whether it's the doomsday beasts flying in space, the legion warships moving through them, or the densely packed virtual soldiers surrounding them.

Their actions are all imbued with a certain harmonious beauty; their silent destruction is filled with a harmonious aesthetic of destruction.

At this moment, it is as if there is an artist behind the scenes, using the legion to paint across the universe, completing his own unique aesthetic masterpiece.

They have been carrying out this mission for a long time. Nothing in the universe seems to be able to stop the legion's advance, as if destruction is the universe's destiny—inescapable, unavoidable.

.......

But today marks the beginning of the Amber Period 2158.

The power from the company suddenly erected a high wall that blocked the legion's next advance.

In the deathly silence of space, countless virtual soldiers are crossing the imaginary tidal zone.

The contamination of the star core will hinder star orbits and routes, but it has little effect on the Starscream legions. They can even use it to move rapidly among the stars.

After destroying two planets and their civilizations, the legion did not stop for a moment. Under some covert command, it rushed toward its next target.

But all of this came to an abrupt end before that moment of dazzling light.

The beam of light that could burn everything slowly dissipated, and countless phantom soldiers along with the legion's warships were wiped out by this shot.

As the light dimmed, the company's massive fleet came into view in space.

When they met on a narrow path, there was no warmth or hesitation whatsoever.

The star-destroying cannons on the flagship began recharging, and the other warships prepared to fire simultaneously.
