A few days passed as Rui continued gathering as much data as possible. Although the first day more or less gave him everything he wanted, it was still better to get a sense of the routine before he made his move. He had evaluated all possible ans of entry and had segregated them by the probability of success.
The least viable solutions were forceful entry either via brute force or stealth. He explored all possibilities, and it just didn't work.
Falsifying authorization was also too murky. He would need to sohow gain authentic docuntation and security clearance. Furthermore, if they had any rigorous verification protocols, he would be screwed. Fooling those protocols was above his pay grade and far too removed from his capabilities as a Martial Artist.
He also considered kidnapping soone who would know what it is and interrogating them. However, it was quite likely that the military followed a need-to-know basis, there were probably very few people that had access to such intelligence if the transaction was that important. Furthermore, if the information disseminated, then the Floating Sect would have probably learned of the information by itself
Thus, he had settled on disguised infiltration as his ans of infiltration after considering all his options, he did not want to bother with trying to interrogate people. It was quite likely that the only people who knew were heavily guarded, and it would probably take him force to kidnap them, and he had already decided against that.
That left him with infiltrating as a coachman, however, that would probably require a bit of authorization falsification to a small degree, albeit nothing major.
('But before I can even focus on all of that, I'll need to verify that my Mind Mask is not detectable by any of the Martial Squires on carriage vetting duty,') Rui noted.
If they could see through the Mind Mask, then there would be no point in trying to even attempt the operation.
He got up, leaving the bar he was in near the G49 military complex. His way of testing their senses was actually quite easy. He simply approached the front gate straightforwardly.
The Martial Squire guards imdiately focused on him as he approached them. They were fully on alert, maintaining a sharp watch on their surroundings. They tensed up a little as Rui approached them straightforwardly, drawing their attention.
He did that on purpose, of course, he needed to test their senses while they were paying attention to him, otherwise, it wasn't reliable, it was possible that he could slip their senses when they weren't paying attention, but couldn't do that when they were.
In that case, when he did actually pose as a coachman, he would be instantly seen through. That was the problem with his current approach.
"This is a restricted area," One of the growled.
"Ah, I am aware," Rui smiled. "I'm not a threat to Martial Artists, I just wanted to inquire which way the local post office was."
"It's right around the corner near….."
Rui nodded his head as looked the man in the eyes, gauging his reaction and studying his every expression fra by fra.
A minute later, he walked away with a smile. ('Worked like a charm.')
While they were alert, it was simply the default standard alertness that they had as guards at the front gate of a military complex. They certainly did not act as though they were standing before a powerful Martial Squire, he was not a threat in their eyes.
This ant that they could not sense his power past the Mind Mask technique.
The reason for that was because of Rui's powerful mind more than the grade of the technique. Although the grade of the technique was not too high, it was sothing that was boosted by his mind. It would take powerful senses to sense him despite the technique, not even a Martial Senior had been able to gauge his true strength, although the Martial Seniors of Vilun Island were not the most well-rounded Martial Seniors.
He had verified that his plan was feasible, now all he had to do was ensure that he could fake being a coachman.
He also needed to find a good carriage to be the coachman of.
('Unfortunately, I can't be the coachman of a private carriage,') Rui sighed. Those coachn were privately hired by their employers, and even if he knocked them out and took their place he would be recognized in a heartbeat.
Instead what he needed to do was to take the place of a delivery carriage supplying shipnts to the military complex.
('I can intercept the carriage midway en route to the military complex and then pose as the coachman after I take his place. Though I will need a fake license,') Rui mused.
He had paid a lot of attention to the coachn that entered the complex, and the only thing that they needed to show was the shipnt docuntation, that the one he would be knocking out and replacing would have, and a license that showed them that they were indeed the designated coachman.
He already knew that there were designated locations and provisions for coachn that were required to wait for their employers to return, they were probably strictly prohibited from stepping out of their carriages.
However, as a delivery coachman, Rui did not intend to stick around after supplying the shipnts.
('For now, I need to find the next shipnt to the military base and get a fake coachman license. The Floating Sect can probably help with this.') Rui mused.
Neither was too hard to get as long as one had a basic intelligence network set up in the Graheria Kingdom, unlike the details of the package that the Graheria Kingdom purchased from Frigga Industries.
He quickly left the Graheria Kingdom as he made his way back to the Floating Sect through the tedious route before finally returning back to Ajanta Island. A familiar imnse sense of heaviness and pressure pressed on him the second he stepped back onto the island.
