Chapter 952 Revision Plan
Bai Pu's words made Gallius frown:
"You'd better make this clear, Dior. Lying about military intelligence is a very serious accusation."

Bai Pu nodded: "I already knew about the intelligence you just mentioned yesterday afternoon. But do you know why I didn't rush to report it to you?"

Gallius narrowed his eyes: "You guessed that this intelligence was fake?"

Bai Pu nodded.

"Impossible. This is a military meeting of the Naga high command, a decision reached by many Naga generals in command of the troops. It is by no means a child's play."

Gallius said in a deep voice, "There is evidence from the recording crystal. As everyone knows, the images recorded by the recording crystal cannot be faked; they must be real events."

“What if Naga is acting?” Bai Pu asked.

Gallius laughed: "You mean the first informant betrayed me and was able to persuade the Naga high command to play along and deceive the Imperial Legion?"

"No, that's not it. To be honest, he just happened to be there at the right time and was a little too eager."

Bai Pu opened his palm, and in his palm lay a recording crystal. "This recording crystal is a record from last night. Would you like to take a look?"

……

Fast forward to last night.

Late at night, "General Vorenzo" quietly visited the Naga commander and "purified" Lady Serendra.

At this moment, Lady Serendra was resting in a shallow pool.

This is the deepest pool in the entire underground cavern, making it the ideal bedroom for the Naga.

To match the identity of the Naga commander, the pool was decorated with sparkling things such as seashells, pearls, and magic crystals, and sixteen whip-like seaweeds were transplanted in the very center.

Sixteen dinoflagellates supported each other, forming a circular bed on the seabed, where Ms. Serendra sat.

Because General Vorenzo had important military intelligence, the Naga guards did not stop him, but instead took the initiative to wake Lady Serendra.

"General Vorenzo, what important military information do you have that you're seeking me out so late at night?"

Lady Serendra has recently developed a strong dislike for General Vorenzo, the reason being the disastrous battle fought against humans a few days ago, which resulted in the loss of a hundred elite Naga soldiers and the death of a "chosen one" named Shalin.

However, General Vorenzo's first words made Ms. Serendra sit up straight.

"Does Lady Serendra want to become a prisoner of the Empire?"

—This is the rhetoric Bai Pu taught at the meeting where the Source Lord descended. Bai Pu and Navia had already simulated this meeting many times.

It's not just about how to start with a surprising statement to grab the other party's attention, but also about clearly understanding the possible branches of each line of dialogue, that is, how to respond to each sentence.

"What makes you say that?" Ms. Serendra asked calmly, without anger or surprise.

—The calm reaction indicates that he had anticipated this, suggesting that this person is not unintelligent and possesses considerable insight.

“Please dismiss these guards and check your surroundings carefully, being wary of eavesdropping,” Navia—also known as General Vorenzo—said, following the instructions given to her by Bai Pu.

Lady Serendra was confident and waved for the other guards to leave.

"I've already set up a soundproof barrier. Can you speak now?"

"Alright." General Vorenzo didn't keep them in suspense and went straight to the point:

“Ms. Serendra, it is highly inappropriate for you to discuss and disclose such highly classified information as the marching route and ambush locations in public!”

"There are too many people at today's military meeting, hundreds of Naga generals and their personal guards are present. Can you really guarantee the loyalty of these people? You know, the last battle on the eastern front proved that the enemy has an extremely despicable brainwashing ability, which even the not-so-weak Naga personal guards could not resist!"

Ms. Serendra listened quietly until General Vorenzo finished speaking, at which point she nodded.

"So, what's your suggestion?"

General Vorenzo shouted, "I suggest we revise the marching route and ambush locations! The daytime plan will remain the open plan to mislead the enemy! The real plan will be decided tonight..."

Ms. Serendra smiled slightly.

"General Vorenzo, I'm truly impressed with you. I initially thought you were just a brute with no substance after the defeat on the Eastern Front. Now it seems you have a real chance of becoming the corps commander..."

"You're right. The military meeting held during the day cannot be considered a final plan; the possibility of a leak is too high."

“I was also planning to revise the plan, and it just so happens that you came to me. Great minds think alike.”

Next, the two discussed how to modify the marching route and ambush locations.

This scene was faithfully recorded by a photographic crystal that had been placed in the dark beforehand.

……

"Lord Gallius, to be honest, my servant Navia is fluent in the Naga language and can also read lips. After seeing this photograph, she deciphered the content of their conversation..."

Bai Pu told a lie here.

General Vorenzo is the person Navia transformed into. Navia told Bai Pu about the process of modifying the plan herself, not through lip reading.

The reason for telling this lie was actually to avoid revealing the truth that "Vorrenzo is Navia".

If Gallius were to learn the truth, he would think that Bai Pu disregarded the bigger picture and, in order to undermine his rivals, actually reminded the Naga to revise the war plan—this would definitely be quite displeasing and might even affect the outcome of the final step of the series of missions.

Bai Pu translated the conversation into the Imperial Common Language for Gallius to watch.

While Gallius was watching, Bai Pu replayed the image from the photographic crystal.

This is equivalent to letting Gallius watch foreign films with subtitles to make it easier for him to understand.

After Gallius finished reading, Bai Pu continued, "If you don't trust it, you can send an expert who understands the Naga language and lip reading to verify this footage at any time."

"No need."

After finishing his breakfast, Gallius stood up and said, "Dio, I will postpone your commendation for now. Similarly, I will not commend the other two who performed the same task! Everything will have to wait until the dust settles down."

"I will wait until the Naga monsters are reduced to ashes under the firepower of the Imperial battleships before deciding on the final distribution of merits based on your intelligence!"

Bai Pu smiled, patted his chest, and bowed, saying, "Sir, you are fair in your dealings, and that is only right. However, my words will be proven true tomorrow: the Naga army's marching route will not follow the edge of the Rift Valley waterway, but will instead take the dry route inside the Anemone Forest!"
