#518 - Chapter 518 The Vortex of Power
“That's right!”
“It is because of this reason that all those in the Human Empire who dare to side with the Night King will be mercilessly annihilated by the Human Empire.”
“The existence of the Night King is a complete and utter hidden danger to the entire Human Empire!”
“Before...”
Han Xuan sighed and, after hesitating, said:
“The reasons I gave you students before were all false.”
“The so-called剿灭叛变领主(encirclement and suppression of rebellious lords) is just a smokescreen.”
“A mere rebellious lord does not require the War College to mobilize so grandly.”
“Because from the very beginning, the order issued by the Empire was to use the hatred between the Night King and our War College to lure the Night King over and then severely injure him.”
“I see...”
Wu Wei nodded.
As expected, he had always felt that this war seemed a bit off, and now he finally had a reasonable explanation.
After all, an ordinary war to剿灭叛变领主(encircle and suppress a rebellious lord) had become so complicated, involving so many forces. Even if Wu Wei was thick-skinned, he would still feel that something was wrong.
But now, after listening to Han Xuan's explanation, he immediately understood everything.
“What are you thinking about?”
Seeing Wu Wei pondering, Han Xuan asked.
“It's nothing, I'm just thinking...”
“Ordinary human lords have the motivation to become Ascended species.”
“So, Principal Han Xuan, do you think lords at a higher level have the motivation to become Ascended species?”
“Higher level?”
Han Xuan frowned.
“What do you mean by high, how high?”
“Families!”
Wu Wei looked at Han Xuan and said decisively.
“Could the existence of certain families also be involved in the Night King's conspiracy?”
“No!”
“The level of families is not high enough.”
“My real thought is, princes!”
“Could the princes of the Human Empire, like these ordinary lords, be involved in the Night King's ambitions and conspiracies?”
“Of course, the princes of the Human Empire probably wouldn't come forward themselves, but would use various frontmen to achieve their goals!”
Faced with Wu Wei's question, Han Xuan, as the principal of the War College, was first shocked, and then silent.
In his solitary silence, he pondered the possibilities that Wu Wei had mentioned.
After a while, Han Xuan raised his head and looked at Wu Wei with a pair of extremely sharp eyes.
This time, his eyes were filled with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
“Tell me, Wu Wei, you...”
“Do you have evidence of a prince colluding with the enemy?”
“Or do you have evidence that a certain family is trading with the Night King?!”
Looking at Han Xuan's surprised and uncertain expression, Wu Wei appeared extremely relaxed.
He waved his hand and said with a smile.
“Of course not!”
“How could I have such evidence?”
“I'm just guessing, just guessing!”
“Damn it...”
But unfortunately, Wu Wei was not a very qualified liar.
At least, he didn't perform very well in front of Han Xuan.
“Wu Wei, who did you come into contact with before participating in this battlefield mission?”
“Ninth Princess, or Fifth Prince?”
“As for the family you mentioned, did you come into contact with the Liu family, or the Li family?”
“Did they send you here to silence someone, or to do something else?”
“Heavens, I really shouldn't have let you participate in the battlefield mission so early!”
“I was too impatient!”
Before Wu Wei could explain anything, Han Xuan, the principal of the War College, had already begun to blame himself.
“That, what I did was just a transaction, a simple exchange of money for services.”
“It's not that serious?”
Seeing Wu Wei's “naivety”, Han Xuan was even more speechless.
“Wu Wei, I must admit that you have a strong talent for war.”
“But you can't deny that you are a complete idiot when it comes to power struggles!”
“You think you are making a transaction.”
“But in reality, that's not the case at all!”
“Because when you participate in this transaction, your information has already been marked by the enemies of your trading partner.”
“This mark will follow you for life.”
“In other words, you have already been drawn into the vortex of power struggles!”
“Sigh...”
Han Xuan took a deep breath.
“Forget it, it's too late for me to say all this now.”
“Instead of regretting the previous decision, we should first think of a way to solve the existing problem.”
After speaking, Han Xuan glanced at the core plane in the distance.
“No matter who you made a deal with, or what kind of deal you made.”
“What we should do now is to kill Zhou Li and her cronies together!”
