Chapter 1176: Infiltrating the Feng Qi Xing Alliance

"Next, we need to display evidence of 'treating prisoners well' to the outside world."

Gamma-7 understood.

"You want other assassins to disguise themselves as prisoners released after being 'treated well' by us, and return to the Feng Qi Xing Alliance?"

"Not exactly. I want them to disguise themselves as prisoners who were 'reformed by the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance and are cooperating voluntarily.' Take our 'evidence of humane treatment' back and propagate the 'magnanimity and benevolence' of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance."

Kailuosi Jin frowned.

"But my Lord, we do not actually treat prisoners well. On the contrary, most Fengqi prisoners of war are in forced labor at mines or factories, and the mortality rate..."

"That is why we need to manufacture evidence."

Yingzhou interrupted him.

"Clean hospital wards, sufficient food, medical care, and even 'cultural exchange activities'—all of it filmed."

"When they return to the Feng Qi Xing Alliance, this footage will become the best propaganda material."

Kailuosi Jin's eyes brightened.

"Psychological warfare. Make the Fengqi soldiers doubt their own commanders: why are the Humans so benevolent to prisoners, while our own generals treat us as cannon fodder?"

"Exactly," Yingzhou said, "but this requires a large number of assassins. I need at least one hundred assassins, disguised as Fengqi officers of different ranks and family backgrounds. They need to 'escape back' or 'be released back' to the Feng Qi Xing Alliance in batches, carrying stories that are consistent but each with a different focus."

"That requires at least one hundred memory samples. It requires one hundred Fengqi officer prisoners."

Yingzhou looked at Kailuosi Jin.

"How many do we have?"

"Among our prisoners, there are over three hundred Aliens who have survived and meet the background requirements of the Saladin Family or other important factions."

"Use two hundred. I need redundancy in case some samples are of insufficient quality."

"My Lord,"

Kailuosi Jin said cautiously.

"Such a large-scale operation, once exposed, will trigger serious diplomatic and moral issues. Even for Aliens, this behavior will be felt by some forces to be..."

"It will not be exposed. I trust the Callidus Assassin Company will not be exposed."

Yingzhou walked to the center of the room, psionic energy surging around him, forming a faint halo.

"My responsibility is not to keep my hands clean, but to ensure that while Human Civilization continues, my hands look clean."

Gamma-7 knelt on one knee.

"Obeying your will."

Kailuosi Jin also lowered his noble head.

"The Adeptus Custodes will execute your orders, no matter where they lead."

The system interface unfolded in Yingzhou's consciousness.

Yingzhou did not hesitate.

"Summon the Callidus Assassin Company, full strength of one hundred."

【Confirm summoning: Callidus Assassin Company (100 personnel)】

【Consumption: Equivalent Imperial Psionic Reserve】

【Detected that you have sufficient psionic reserve, continue?】

"Continue."

In an instant, Yingzhou felt the psionic energy within his body pour out like a sluice gate opening.

It was an indescribable feeling, as if a part of his entire soul had been hollowed out and injected into some bottomless Shenyuan.

The air between the shadows began to distort.

Soon, one hundred Callidus assassins stood in the room.

They wore the same dark gray combat suits as Gamma-7, but a close look revealed tiny differences: some had extra equipment attachment points on their suits, some had different patterns on their masks, and some had standing postures that indicated different professional tendencies.

One hundred pairs of eyes looked at Yingzhou simultaneously.

There was no sound, no movement, but that silent pressure made the gravity of the entire room feel as if it had increased.

Then, they knelt on one knee simultaneously.

The movement was uniform and synchronized.

"Callidus, paying respects to the Emperor." An assassin standing in the front row spoke.

"I am the Company Commander, codename Alpha-1. Callidus 100 personnel, standing by."

Yingzhou took a deep breath.

"Rise."

One hundred assassins stood up simultaneously, their movements still synchronized.

"Alpha-1, I need your company to execute a long-term infiltration Task."

"The target is the Feng Qi Xing Alliance. Disguise yourselves as officers 'released after being treated well' after capture, infiltrate all levels of their society, collect intelligence, create division, and conduct targeted eliminations when necessary."

"We need samples. High-quality memory samples are required for perfect disguise."

"They are already prepared."

Yingzhou looked at Kailuosi Jin.

"The Adeptus Custodes will provide two hundred Fengqi officer prisoners for you to extract memories from. I need you to complete the memory analysis and disguise preparations within one week, then 'escape back' to the Feng Qi Xing Alliance in batches."

"Two hundred samples... Understood."

Yingzhou turned to the empty space: "Selina."

The female holographic image appeared instantly.

"Your Majesty, I have monitored the entire process. An area has already been cordoned off as a memory extraction center."

"Good, and announce to the outside world: we are conducting 'prisoner psychological research'."

"Understood. The modification will take twenty-four hours. At the same time, I will prepare fake evidence materials for 'preferential treatment of prisoners': medical records, nutritional menus, footage of cultural activities..."

"Very good."

Yingzhou looked at the one hundred assassins.

"A-1, you and the first platoon are responsible for the most critical roles: core members of the Saladin Family, high-ranking military officers, and senior government officials. Gamma-7 already has a target—Alan Saladin Weike, a collateral military officer of the Saladin Family. But she needs an upgrade: not only to disguise herself as Alan, but to 'be promoted' and gain a higher status."

"How to be promoted?"

Gamma-7 asked.

"Return with important 'intelligence.' You will become a hero who exposes Valken's 'treason,' gaining the trust and rewards of the Saladin Family. We will prepare a complete 'chain of evidence' for you."

"What about the other assassins?"

"The second through fifth platoons will be assigned roles based on their specialties."

Yingzhou pondered.

"I need people in Valken's command headquarters, people in the Saladin Family's enterprises, people in the border forces, people in scientific research institutions... covering every key node of Fengqi society."

A-1 nodded.

The plan was gradually taking shape.

One hundred assassins, one hundred identities, one hundred stories, woven into a net of infiltration covering the entire Feng Qi Xing Alliance.

Yingzhou said to Kailuosi Jin.

"Kailuosi Jin, take A-1 and his company to the prisoner camp. Let them select samples. Remember, prioritize those with intelligence value and diverse backgrounds."

"Understood, my master. Assassins, follow me."

One hundred Kalidusi assassins silently followed Kailuosi Jin out of the Shadow Chamber.
