Chapter 692 - 382: Target, Royal Treasury! (Part 2)
No matter where the Emperor is, he can clearly know everything inside the treasure vault, and he can even manipulate it at will.In general, attempting to seize something from this treasure vault is no different than trying to take directly from the hands of the Great Wind Emperor.
If someone could achieve this, they could even plunder the entire Great Wind Empire.
Then, this treasure vault would be of no importance.
However, this only applies to normal circumstances.
Since the Association has the Gray Mist Space, it certainly isn’t a normal situation.
"First, we have two challenges that must be solved using the Gray Mist," interstellar world Shen Yu said, "The first is temporarily cutting off the Great Wind Emperor’s perception or control of this world; otherwise, even if our power surpasses the Great Wind Emperor’s, we cannot fight within the opponent’s small world, let alone preserve or even seize resources."
Everyone nodded slightly.
This is indeed necessary.
Moreover, it can only be done through Gray Mist, even if the Association possesses related technology, given the opponent’s level and power, the consumption will be absolutely non-trivial.
Of course, it won’t be excessively high either.
This represents the difference between placing it in one’s own created small world and directly placing it on oneself.
"The second is the opponent’s various arrangements in the small world," interstellar world Shen Yu continued, "These arrangements are certainly not weak; various necessary defenses, especially at the level of Law, are essential. After all, there are often Marquises allowed to enter the treasure vault to choose gifts. Without strong defenses, it would damage the Holy Emperor’s prestige, making it seem like small movements are trivial. Considering time, it’s best to use Gray Mist to ignore these arrangements in one step."
Yes, this is also necessary.
And the consumption won’t be much.
Although these arrangements are set up by the Great Wind Emperor, even pooling the entire Great Wind Empire’s power.
But after all, it’s just a facade.
Under normal circumstances, no one would be able to sneak in without the Holy Emperor noticing and steal these resources without being discovered.
Hence, the actual strength isn’t that frightening.
"Apart from these two points which must be completed using Gray Mist, what else do we need to do?" someone asked.
"Also two points," interstellar world Shen Yu indeed had a systematic plan; he directly elaborated, "First, we need to lure the Emperor and, at the start of the mission, hold off the Holy Emperor — after all, cutting off the connection between the Holy Emperor and the treasure vault doesn’t mean it won’t be detected. If we want it to be unnoticed, the consumption of Gray Mist would be far more significant."
It’s just a temporary cut in control, which is indeed different from being completely imperceptible.
It’s akin to the difficulty between someone cutting off surveillance footage in an era devoid of magic and replacing it discreetly with fake footage.
Impossible to compare.
Given the Association’s current power, temporarily stalling the opponent is entirely possible.
Thus, naturally saving Gray Mist wherever possible.
Ultimately, being able to use it in more critical situations later.
"Second, there’s finding a way to infiltrate the treasure vault," interstellar world Shen Yu continued, "After all, the vault itself is located in the Imperial Palace, and given the protection level of the entire palace, infiltrating is highly challenging, and for this, I have two solutions. The first naturally doesn’t need much explanation; directly using Gray Mist for pinpoint teleportation is highly consuming, possibly not less than cutting the connection. The second is exposing this incarnation—this incarnation breaks through to the Twelfth Realm, becoming a Marquis, and inherently qualifies to enter the treasure vault to choose a resource or treasure."
The two choices left the other Shen Yu deep in thought.
The first requires consuming Gray Mist, while the second, evidently, interstellar world Shen Yu’s incarnation would inevitably be exposed afterward.
It can only be swiftly brought into the Gray Mist Space to possibly preserve it.
In other words, using a Duke Level spy to exchange for part of the Gray Mist.
This trade-off...
"Since you didn’t mention the consumption of this part of the Gray Mist earlier," Shen Yu looked at interstellar world Shen Yu, speaking in a deep voice, "It suggests you actually prefer the second option?"
"Yes." interstellar world Shen Yu nodded slightly, "Frankly, this incarnation cannot lurk for too long."
These words made the brows of other Shen Yu slightly furrow.
Such a spy embedded within the opponent’s high ranks has unspoken potential.
If lost, the Association’s frontline battlefield might face even greater issues.
Nevertheless, interstellar world Shen Yu provided an explanation.
"Some earlier intelligence I obtained actually exposed certain aspects; at the minimum, the opponent knows there might be a traitor among the Marquises, and naturally, we recent entrants have become key subjects of attention."
What interstellar world Shen Yu mentioned, other Shen Yus actually knew long ago.
Previously, suddenly occupying the Resource World disrupted the opponent’s investigation rhythm concerning spies, but that merely slowed down the investigation rhythm for lower to mid-level spies.
Facing a spy possibly at the Marquis level is impossible to relax vigilance.
Therefore, during this period, Great Wind Empire never abandoned their investigation on them.
interstellar world Shen Yu’s incarnation had been examined numerous times.
"But didn’t you use the Gray Mist?" a Shen Yu couldn’t help but ask.
Indeed, with so many examinations yet remaining undiscovered, naturally due to interstellar world Shen Yu employing Gray Mist.
Ultimately, this level of examination boils down to some extraordinary means.
Even non-extraordinary means can be smoothly passed using the universal properties of Gray Mist.
"This is what I want to say." interstellar world Shen Yu looked at the other Shen Yus, lightly sighing, "Gray Mist indeed helps me safely navigate the examinations, but this requires sufficient Gray Mist. Currently, Great Wind Empire’s examination intensity is increasingly stringent. Without the success of previous endeavors, now various means are synchronized, even those involving Law, causal methods, and with significant effort to reduce the importance of intelligence each Marquis individually possesses. Gray Mist consumption has reached an unwarranted stage."
Yes, it’s not about lacking Gray Mist but its worthiness.
Using these Gray Mist can directly obtain more accurate intelligence.
More valuable than a guarded Marquis spy.
This left other Shen Yu somewhat enlightened.
"In this situation, I think it better to have this spy identity play its biggest role at the end, rather than being dragged like this," interstellar world Shen Yu emphasized his opinion, "Moreover, if we could indeed sweep the entire treasure vault, along with Gray Mist, the positive strength of our entire Association would be vastly enhanced. At that moment, there’s no need to consider espionage-like methods anymore, directly pushing on the front lines, and using Gray Mist to shield from leaks, firmly enough to secure victory in this war!"
Hearing this, many Shen Yu nodded slightly.
Evidently persuaded.
If the resource vault can truly be seized, the remaining part is merely ensuring no major mistakes to secure victory!
"Then it’s decided." Shen Yu saw no one raising issues or doubts anymore, directly finalizing the combat plan.
Subsequently, they discussed some details.
Until the meeting ended, the other Shen Yu left individually, while the presidium members stayed for a small meeting.
"The core of this plan lies in you." Shen Yu looked at interstellar world Shen Yu.
"Don’t worry." interstellar world Shen Yu smiled slightly, appearing very confident.
