Chapter 1539: Chapter 578: Scheming Against Each Other

Sena smiled faintly, "Typically, there is a natural information barrier between the Empire and the Ascendants. Nanxiang Marquis, are you aware of this?"

Liu An nodded firmly, "I once served as the Chief Officer at the Nanxiang Military and Political Center. How could I not know such common knowledge? But precisely because of this, the budget for the counterintelligence department under the Military and Political Center is low, and the scale is small. To compensate for this shortfall, I funded the establishment of the Special Service Bureau within the Earl Mansion out of my own pocket. I particularly value biotechnology, attempting to use my own strength to create a bridge for the Empire, but alas, I was ultimately ineffective. However, my loyalty to the Empire is genuine."

"No need for pleasantries in front of the wise," Sena Romanov mocked, "Who in the Nanxiang Star Cluster doesn’t know about the horrors of your spies, Liu An? Outwardly a sham, but internally it’s suppression that’s the reality. Stop flattering yourself; it’s meaningless. What I need to tell you is that what you can’t achieve, there are those in the Empire who can. Although espionage activities of the Empire within the Ascendants are arduous, they have yielded some results. Meanwhile, the Ascendants have never relaxed their infiltration of the Empire. Unluckily for them, a line was pulled out by us. The one responsible for this is none other than Duke Wenle."

"Right now, the Ascendants remain unaware, believing this line is still operational, unaware that their spy has been turned into a double agent by the Duke. According to the original plan, this line was supposed to be used during combat to transmit false intelligence to the enemy, seeking an opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the opposition’s forces. However, the Duke believes that to catch big fish, one must first feed the Ascendants some bait, commonly known as a knife bearer. Do you understand?"

Liu An pondered for a moment and queried, "So during combat, a part of the Empire’s forces will inevitably be sacrificed?"

Sena: "Of course! Are you trying to avenge them?"

Liu An quickly shook his head, "Where is the injustice in that? Serving the Empire and sacrificing for the Emperor is their fortune."

Sena Romanov laughed again, "Exactly, so Earl Red Blade will also enjoy this fortune."

At that moment, Liu An suddenly understood.

Initially, with Ren Zhong’s status as a Sequence Chosen One, it was impossible for him to be chosen as a knife bearer.

But since the person directly responsible for this is Duke Wenle.

Others may be knife bearers, but using a Sequence Chosen One is certainly a superior choice.

Offering a relatively valued potential individual as a sacrificial pawn will surely make the line in Duke Wenle’s hands more reliable, allowing it to play a more significant role.

This matter, if spoken out, also makes sense.

In reality, Duke Wenle’s strategy is not sophisticated, even somewhat crude and lacking, not worth mentioning.

What Ivan Romanov relies on is very simple: his status as a Duke with real power and the information asymmetry he controls, nothing more.

But it is certain that this is a deadly plan, Ren Zhong has no chance of survival.

Liu An thought again, when the Empire and Ascendants reignite their war, he must keep a distance from Ren Zhong to avoid being implicated when Ren Zhong gets his "divine punishment."

Thinking of this, he subconsciously fantasized about when the two armies confront each other, Ren Zhong, relying on his Fold Jump Battleship, assuming invincibility, being overly aggressive, and ending up crashing headlong into the trap that Duke Wenle, through the Ascendants, prepared for him.

Hehehe... Hehehehe...

At this moment, Sena Romanov suddenly hunched over and, like performing a trick, pulled out a finger-sized black box, placing it in Liu An’s hand.

Sena laughed, "Nanxiang Marquis, it’s crucial for you to hold onto this."

Liu An was taken aback, "What is this?"

Sena: "It’s the communication identification code for the double agent line. Insert this into the communicator, enabling secret transmission of intelligence. The Duke wants me to authorize you with this intelligence network so that you can act at your discretion when the time comes."

"Huh?" Liu An held the item, somewhat dumbfounded.

After all this, Duke Wenle doesn’t plan to let me hitch a ride easily.

Turns out I am the one who has to carry this burden, taking the greatest risk as the knife bearer?

Sena Romanov shrugged again, "Since I said act at your discretion, it’s up to you to decide. Whether to make a move or not is your choice. Well, this matter ends here. Next, I’ll represent the Duke to get cozy with Earl Red Blade."

After speaking, Sena swayed her flirtatious body, quickly exiting the freezing room as if nothing had happened, leaving Liu An in chaos amidst the wind.
