Abyss Solo

"That's good."

Yang Ming snapped his fingers and quickly typed on his network terminal:

"My leader is very concerned about face, and he's rather thin-skinned. If he appears directly, it might be troublesome.

"I mean, I might have some trouble.

"But if the beautiful Ms. Po Suo shows her face, I can go and ask them... hold on... it's approved."

Yang Ming placed the network terminal in front of Duoduo Moduo, and a popup appeared with the image of a girl inside.

The girl was intently fiddling with a toy robot.

Duoduo Moduo asked softly, "Oh, this... can let her show off her skills a bit..."

As he spoke, the girl seemed to hear something and turned her head towards the lens.

Though separated by an unknown distance, the girl seemed to see Duoduo Moduo, and he felt an inexplicable stir, as if his heart had been gripped hard.

"This is fine!"

Yang Ming immediately closed the popup, smiling: "She's easier to persuade."

"Oh, heavens."

Duoduo Moduo leaned back on the sofa, slightly panting, with cold sweat continuously seeping from his forehead.

Clearly, his metabolism was rapidly increasing.

"Trust between us is very important," Yang Ming smiled and said, "Chief of the General Staff."

"Yes, indeed, our trust is extremely important."

Duoduo Moduo murmured:

"I can share with you some information gathered by our agents inside the Empire. Of course, you might already know this, but it's also a way to express our stance.

"First, the Empire is about to take certain military coercion towards Wind.

"About seven Galaxy Days from now, the Empire will summon all the Vassal Emperors to attend a meeting in the Emperor Star Circle, and the Empire will take the opportunity to initiate a blood-sucking mode, draining these vassal states until they're emptied, then reconstructing the vassal states.

"The Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Empire predicts Wind will refuse to attend, so they will immediately deploy five thousand to eight thousand Empire main fleet ships at the border of the Luofeng Empire, right where Wind is closest to Sherman Empire.

"They will coordinate publicity campaigns and exert pressure on other member states of the Wind Alliance..."

"They won't achieve these things."

Yang Ming interrupted Duoduo Moduo with a smile:

"I've already obtained this plan before. You don't need to worry, we can handle it easily.

"I'm more interested in other intelligence."

"Is that so? Then I'm all ears."

Duoduo Moduo smiled:

"There are a few other pieces of information that I think are related to your faction."

"First, the Empire is about to promulgate a few laws to silence the entire network;

"Second, the Empire has already mobilized all Transformed Soldiers from the Heavenly Fury Fortress, along with border troops and some noble private armies, to carry out extermination operations against several active resistance organizations near the Empire's borders.

"Third, Emperor Guard System 2.0 has completed a new iteration cycle, becoming even more powerful. It is said to now have the ability to control the entire Empire's network within the Emperor Star Circle, and these capabilities are continuing to grow, which will be a problem for us."

Yang Ming nodded, actively asking: "Any intelligence regarding the New Federation?"

"New Federation? Their internal power is in turmoil, but overall changes won't be significant. Because they've endured enormous external pressure, they've become more united internally."

Duoduo Moduo smiled:

"Last time you said you'd teach No. 2 a lesson for me, but in the end, No. 2 left unscathed."

Yang Ming shrugged:

"I originally intended to beat him up.

"But my leader said not to distract the New Federation for now, let No. 2 quickly return to the New Federation to help resist the Empire, ensuring the Empire doesn't gain too much advantage over the New Federation.

"Compared to our strategic plan, some personal grudges must be set aside for now, but I assure you, I will definitely fulfill my promise."

"You're a man of your word, I believe in that."

Duoduo Moduo raised his glass:

"I wish you success in your next action. We've prepared twelve regular fleet groups for Wind, including three Dreadnought support forces, but we can't reach Wind before war breaks out."

Yang Ming:...

His subsequent actions won't be smooth sailing.

Clink.

Yang Ming and Duoduo Moduo gently clinked glasses.

"Rest assured, Wind has sufficient countermeasures."
