The more Zhao Qingcang listened, the brighter his deep, tiger-like eyes became.

" That being the case, this is actually the best time for us to sneak into Sakura Country and fish in troubled waters! "

A strategist's light flashed in the old man's eyes.

" We can even fan the flames in secret and find a way to guide these two major Clan to trigger a frontal clash ahead of time. "

" By then, Sakura Country will be too busy to care for itself, which will also be the best time for us to snatch back the Pendulum of Life! "

Wei Liao pushed the black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose and nodded calmly.

" Brilliant move, Marshal. This is precisely what I am considering. "

Speaking up to this point, his tone shifted, and his expression turned solemn once more.

" However, there are still two very tricky problems lying before us currently. "

Wei Liao extended his first finger.

" First, following the Pendulum of Life being sent into the Ise Grand Shrine in Tokyo City. "

" The alert Level of the entire Tokyo City has now been raised to the highest level in history. "

" Our scouts' activities within the city have become restricted, and the risk and difficulty of gathering intelligence each time have increased by several tiers compared to before. "

" Not to mention pulling small tricks inside Sakura Country; once exposed, there is almost no possibility of survival. "

He raised his second finger, his voice growing increasingly deep.

" Second, the strength of our Great Xia inside Sakura Country is limited after all. "

" Wanting to rely on them to rush into the Ise Grand Shrine and snatch the Pendulum of Life is no different from throwing eggs at a rock, which would only result in a vain sacrifice. "

" But if we want to dispatch more Advanced powerhouses from the domestic front to sneak into Tokyo, the difficulty is similarly immense. "

A trace of helplessness appeared on Wei Liao's face.

" Tokyo City has now implemented the strictest controls on all entrances and exits. "

" Every entering and exiting personnel must undergo multiple verifications of identity information, class Level, and even Qi fluctuations. "

" Once any suspicious points are discovered, they will be directly arrested and sent into the ' Divine Penalty Office ' to undergo the harshest interrogation. "

" Just a few days ago, the three A-Level scouts we just sent over, without exception, all lost contact. "

" I am still trying to figure out a way to see if we can rescue them. "

Hearing this, Zhao Qingcang's brows knitted into a knot.

It seemed that that group of people in Sakura Country had long anticipated that we would take advantage of the void to enter, laying out an inescapable net in advance.

Zhou Huai, currently controlling Gandalf, spoke after pondering slightly.

" I remember there seems to be a type of equipment on the market that possesses disguising effects. "

" Can we rely on this type of equipment to impersonate residents within Tokyo City and sneak in? "

Hearing this, Wei Liao instead smiled bitterly and shook his head.

" We tried this plan of yours long ago, sir. "

" Although these types of disguise props currently circulating on the market can change the user's appearance and body shape, they cannot change their class characteristics and Qi. "

He sighed.

" Over on Sakura Country's side, there are special methods dedicated to detecting the target's class and Level. "

" No matter how well our people disguise themselves, as long as the class is different, or the Level discrepancies with the original owner exist, they will be seen through in an instant. "

Hearing this, Zhou Huai could not help but feel a bit of a headache.

Each of his Avatar was an SS-Level unique hidden class.

Looking across the entire world, not a second person similar to their class could be found.

If this were investigated, they would be exposed one hundred percent.

How on earth could they sneak into Tokyo City?

Moria could easily sneak in relying on shadow abilities.

But other Avatar did not have this ability.

Even the SSS-Level class Caesar could not do it.

And this time going to Tokyo City, Caesar's role was crucial; he had to go.

Just as Zhou Huai fell into deep thought.

Zhao Qingcang on the side seemed to suddenly think of something, looking intently at Wei Liao.

" I remember there seems to be such an item in our Military Department's treasury. "

" It can disguise into someone else one hundred percent, and even imitate the class and Qi together. "

A flash of surprise crossed Wei Liao's eyes, followed by a knowing nod.

" Is the Marshal speaking of that 【 token of the faceless 】? "

An expression of heartache appeared on his face.

" Inside the Military Department's treasury, there indeed is such a piece of equipment. "

" However, that is a true Legendary-tier equipment, extremely rare. "

" Throughout our entire Great Xia Military Department, there is only this one piece. "

Hearing this, Zhou Huai's eyes suddenly lit up.

He immediately controlled Gandalf, a trace of eagerness in his tone.

" Can you bring it over for me to see? "

" This... "

Obvious hesitation surfaced on Wei Liao's face, instinctively looking towards Zhao Qingcang.

Zhao Qingcang did not speak, only nodding in tacit agreement.

Seeing this, Wei Liao hesitated no longer.

" Alright, I will go bring it over right now. "

Finished speaking, he turned and strode out of the office.

Silence fell into the office once more.

Zhao Qingcang looked at Gandalf before him, his gaze complex.

He did not know whether handing this national treasure of great weight to the other party was right or wrong.

But this was perhaps the only way to break the deadlock for Great Xia Nation currently.

Soon, Wei Liao returned to the Marshal's office once more.

This time, there was an exquisite wooden box crafted from red sandalwood in his hands.

Inscribed upon the wooden box were complex Formation patterns, emitting faint energy fluctuations.

He walked up to Gandalf, his expression solemn.

" The item has been brought. "

Saying this, he carefully opened the wooden box.

An unspeakable mysterious aura instantly permeated from within the box.

Zhou Huai controlled Gandalf, casting his gaze into the box.

Only to see a palm-sized badge quietly lying upon the soft red silk.

That badge was crafted from an unknown silver-white metal, its entire body presenting a warm and smooth luster.

The main body of the badge was a mask.

A blank mask without any facial features, smooth as a mirror.

Yet when Zhou Huai gazed at it, he felt as though that mask possessed life.

It seemed capable of reflecting the countless faces of the world, unpredictable and incomparably mysterious.

On the edges of the mask were carved countless complex and smooth runes; those runes slowly flowed across the surface of the badge like living things, emitting heart-palpitating soul fluctuations.

Zhou Huai's consciousness probed into it, and the attribute panel of the badge instantly unfolded before his eyes.
