"Snort!"
After the guards left, Abaddon's face immediately darkened. He tossed Hill aside and began to ponder and analyze the situation.
Great Han!
The Great Tang!
These two factions have such similar names that it's impossible for them to have no connection, but the question is, what exactly is their relationship?
Furthermore, he was concerned about the attitudes of these two countries towards the Great West Empire, and whether they could become potential allies.
He had previously tried to negotiate with the Land of the Far West, but to his surprise, they rejected his offer of cooperation, which annoyed him considerably.
Although he had temporarily repelled Abide Leier, it was only due to his numerical superiority; the enemy could return at any time.
To his utter surprise, before this matter was even resolved, two more forces appeared, both seemingly quite powerful, which made him somewhat uneasy.
It seems the West has lost control at some point.
" Delin!"
On a whim, he summoned his trusted intelligence operative.
A figure emerged from the shadows; clearly, he had been secretly guarding the emperor all along.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
" Delin, does the intelligence department have any information about this Great Han, or Xue Rengui? Are the two sides in contact?"
Abaddon didn't keep his confidants in suspense and asked his trusted confidant directly.
Delin was one of the heads of his intelligence department. He usually stayed by his side to protect him, but he also had access to a large amount of intelligence information.
"Your Majesty, this Great Han's origins are mysterious; there's no detailed information about him, and he seems to have appeared out of nowhere."
"However, the intelligence department does have a little-known fact about Xue Rengui of the Great Tang, but it's still being verified!" Delin said with a wry smile.
He felt very ashamed, but there was nothing he could do.
It's not that their intelligence department isn't working hard; it's just that these two forces are too mysterious, as if they appeared out of thin air. It's simply impossible to trace them; they can only rely on leaked information to make inferences and investigate.
However, intelligence agencies generally dare not report information unless they have confirmed it, since their intelligence is related to national policy and no one dares to be careless.
"Under verification?"
Abaddon frowned slightly, but didn't blame him; he just hadn't expected these two forces to be so mysterious.
He said in a deep voice, "What rumors? Tell me directly."
"Your Majesty, it is said that Xue Rengui once claimed that they came from the Land of the Far West!" Delin hesitated for a moment, then whispered.
puff!
Upon hearing this, Abaddon couldn't help but spit out his drink, stunned by the news, and immediately stood up.
"What? This Great Tang also comes from the Land of the Far West?" His heart pounded. If that were true, it was definitely not good news.
The Great Tang was located in the Land of the Far West, so this Great Tang with a similar name is probably similar as well. Adding to this the previous Abide Leier, wouldn't there already be three forces in the Land of the Far West?
Damn it!
When did this place become the stronghold of the Land of the Far West? This is putting so much pressure on me!
This is equivalent to having three bandits around; it's incredibly dangerous. You might end up being surrounded by the Land of the Far West.
Delin frowned. The news did indeed come from within the Great Tang, but he felt there was something wrong with it, so he didn't report it.
He said with a strange expression, "Your Majesty, I think that's unlikely. After all, the names Xue Rengui and Abide Leier don't sound like they're from the same organization!"
It's less like the Land of the Far West and more like the Great Liang.
Their weapons, equipment, and military style are completely different; otherwise, I would have thought they were from the Great Liang!
The name Xue Rengui is completely different from what Abide Leier says; they're totally incompatible. It just feels like a scam!
" Great Liang?"
Abaddon shook his head slightly. Although the names were somewhat similar, it didn't mean anything.
The equipment of the Great Liang is now standardized, meaning it has a unified style. It is completely different from these styles, so there is no reason for the Great Liang to create a new batch of weapons.
The cost of this is simply too high. Great Liang has no reason to do this, since their strength is already enough to shake the Frostwest Empire, so why bother with these things?
Moreover, most of the Great Liang army was stationed on the Frostwest and Zhennan borders of Shuangxi, so it was impossible for them all to have arrived in their own northern territory at once; that would be illogical.
Besides, a name doesn't tell the whole story. What if some weirdo chose such a name?
This shouldn't be used as a standard to measure power. Perhaps I can test Abide Leier, and then I'll naturally find out the truth.
The attitude of this Great Han is very important. He is situated between the Great West Empire and the Frostwest Empire, which means he could attack us at any time.
The opponent was able to sweep through the Black Skull Army and the northern kingdoms, so their strength is probably not to be underestimated. They are at least stronger than the Black Skull Army, which is a huge threat.
He pondered for a long time before finally making his decision!
Remember these three points!
"First, the intelligence department should intensify its investigation into their origins, and also send people to infiltrate their ranks. I need to know their whereabouts!"
"Secondly, inform Uncle Adolf to personally guard the border and prevent the Great Han from attacking our country!"
"Thirdly, keep a close eye on the situation in Frostwest. Report any significant weaknesses immediately; this could be our opportunity!"
That's right, he's got his eye on the Frostwest Empire!
Although this is somewhat dangerous, it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Now, the Frostwest Empire not only faces potential sanctions from the Great Liang at any time, but is also threatened by the Great Tang and the Great Han. This can be said to be its weakest point.
Furthermore, the temporary retreat of the Land of the Far West undoubtedly provided him with an opportunity to make his move.
If he misses this opportunity, he might have to wait a long time before he has a chance to turn his life around.
After all, the actual strength of the Great West Empire is not as great as that of the Frostwest, and the Land of the Far West is always ready to make a comeback, so the opportunity is fleeting.
Adolf was the pillar of the Great West and also his uncle, who controlled a large army, making him undoubtedly the best candidate to go there.
He is a strong-willed man, shrewd and decisive in his actions, and capable of making the right decisions in rapidly changing situations.
"Understood!" Delin nodded, memorizing the three points.
However, he sighed inwardly. The emperor's move was probably also to weaken his uncle Adolf, after all, he was just too powerful.
Because of the emperor's lack of offspring, Adolf forcibly interfered in the emperor's marriage, which greatly displeased the emperor, so he sought out his old lover to vent his frustration.
Unfortunately, Princess Anne already belongs to the Emperor of Great Liang; His Majesty has been rather irrational.
Although Ximu is not good-looking, and even somewhat unpleasant to look at, she is the legitimate daughter of a top-tier family. The Emperor can simply tolerate her.
