Chapter 817: Chapter 14: The Art of War—Punishing in Heaven’s Stead
Li Fei did not have any intelligence network in the Northern Territory, especially within the Military Supply Headquarters.
The reason he could grasp so many details was entirely due to the ‘Dream Realm’.
In the past two days, it seemed he stayed in the camp, not going anywhere.
In fact, that was just a clone he intentionally left behind.
He himself deployed the Sword State·Invisible, quietly infiltrated Shaman City, entered the Military Supply Headquarters, then entered the Dream Realm, penetrating into the subconscious of Zhang Anwu and others.
If the content was bound by the Oath Technique, or it was a deeply hidden secret in the person’s heart, Li Fei would not be able to obtain information from the subconscious without alerting the person.
But the private hoarding of Replenishing Essence Elixirs had happened only in the last few days, moreover, such matters were already routine operations for Zhang Anwu and others, not considered secrets at all.
Thus, Li Fei easily extracted the information he wanted from their subconscious.
However, what was still lacking were the key human and physical evidences.
Today, he forcefully stormed the Military Supply Headquarters with more than three thousand martial artists.
Intimidate with power.
Then he found the hidden Replenishing Essence Elixirs.
Next, he chose Tang Congxue, whose subconscious defenses were weakest among the confidants, as the breakthrough, exposing the crime process. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel_fіre.net
Attack the enemy’s weakness.
Finally, he used verbal hints to make these people feel there was still a glimmer of hope for survival.
Surround on all sides but leave one side open.
Step by step, Li Fei successfully broke through the psychological defenses of Tang Congxue and others, making them fall into the illusion that he possessed an unimaginable intelligence network and held even more of their incriminating evidence.
The art of war forges the mind!
Li Fei no longer looked at the ashen-faced Zhang Anwu, raising his head to look at Zhao Hongcai:
“What is the crime for embezzling military supplies?”
Zhao Hongcai glanced at Zhang Anwu, his expression solemn:
“It depends on the quantity, value, and urgency of the supplies.”
Li Fei pointed to the more than a hundred opened boxes in the empty lot:
“How about calculating his embezzlement of this batch of Replenishing Essence Elixirs?”
Zhao Hongcai hesitated for a moment: “I am only responsible for military supplies, it’s better to hand this matter over to the Military Court for handling.”
A glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of Zhang Anwu, who was kneeling on the ground.
He was Luo Xu’s son-in-law; even if he entered the Military Court, he still had a chance to survive!
But upon hearing these words, Li Fei sneered coldly:
“Military law? As I said earlier, today I am executing the king’s law in my capacity as a Blue Patrol Envoy!”
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Anwu:
“You embezzled the Replenishing Essence Elixirs needed for the training of more than three thousand martial artists, and your technique is so practiced, it is evident that you have done similar things countless times. As the head of the Military Supply Headquarters, you are responsible for the logistics of over a hundred thousand Border Army soldiers at the frontline. While the soldiers are fighting desperately at the front, you are being a parasite at the back.
For this alone, you should be executed immediately!”
Zhang Anwu’s face changed dramatically, just about to speak, but was silenced by a glance from Li Fei.
Without seeing any movement from Li Fei, Zhang Anwu suddenly ‘shot up from the ground’, soaring into the air.
“I am entrusted with great trust by Your Majesty, representing the court to inspect the world. Seeing such a national parasite like you, if I don’t execute you, I would fail both the Emperor and the more than a hundred thousand Border Army soldiers risking their lives at the frontline!”
Li Fei was saying this while ascending into the air, flying in front of Zhang Anwu.
With a sudden draw, he unsheathed the long-untouched Ghost Slash Blade:
“Today, I act as the Emperor’s agent to administer punishment, to let parasites like you know — above military law, there is the king’s law!”
Just as he finished speaking, a thunderous roar came from a distance:
But Li Fei turned a deaf ear, without the slightest hesitation, the Ghost Slash Blade sliced through Zhang Anwu’s neck in an instant.
