"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing. I just think... regardless of your plan, attempting to steal the Gem of Desire shows remarkable courage."

Sigurd sincerely commented, raising his glass as if to toast, expressing admiration.

Brolon chuckled, quite satisfied with Sigurd's attitude.

"I won't beat around the bush. The Schicksal Oceania Branch has applied for the Herrscher core experiment project, which has been approved by the headquarters. The transfer of the Gem of Desire will take place in two weeks."

"The transfer process starts from the Oceania Branch. They will dispatch an elite Valkyrie unit to the headquarters as an escort for receiving the gem. At the headquarters, another Valkyrie unit will be co-escorting, waiting for their arrival with the Gem of Desire."

"After the two units converge at the headquarters and confirm the handover, both Valkyrie units will jointly escort the gem back to the Oceania Branch. The Valkyries from the headquarters will return to Otto for debriefing only after ensuring that the gem is properly secured in the Oceania Branch. This completes the handover."

"The lists of Valkyries on both sides are highly confidential. The handover will be conducted through internal network information and secret codes. Even the Valkyries themselves won't know who they're facing on the other side to prevent internal spies from exploiting the situation. The entire escort will proceed without any stops, and the route will be kept secret. The day of departure will be designated by Otto himself... in short, there aren't many opportunities to strike."

Brolon explained in detail, but he seemed to dismiss this meticulous plan with an air of indifference.

After pondering for a moment, Sigurd asked:

"You emphasized the handover process. Are you suggesting that the opportunity lies there?"

"Talking to intelligent people sure is convenient. Yes, you should also know that I used to have a good relationship with Schicksal, having many old friends in there... Let me put it this way, I have a way to intercept the Oceania escort unit and replace it with my people. However, discreetly altering both sides' handover information and obtaining the secret code are two challenges."

"Hacking into Schicksal's system, altering the information of the Oceania Branch escort team, and investigating the secret code... you want to entrust me with this task?"

"Exactly."

Brolon stared at Sigurd with intense eyes, seemingly confident that Sigurd would agree and confident that Sigurd had the ability to do it.

Sigurd swirled the red wine glass, one round, two rounds, three rounds, then raised his eyes and said:

"What do I get in return?"

"I'll own the gem, but under suitable conditions, I may lend it to you occasionally. Also, your new faction – called Starfire, right? – will receive my full support."

"What you said is all hollow promises. What if you don't keep your word afterward? Can I still go to war with you?"

"Of course, a down payment will be made, and you can state your conditions."
