Chapter 61: 53. Act after careful planning
Translator: 549690339
If Sergeant Pim wanted to bury the entire Imperial Army in this ancient tomb, he would have to complete two steps: Beheading and seizing power.
Beheading, that is, using the undead to kill Lieutenant Grett and Sergeant Alvin Stafford, causing the Imperial Army to fall into a state of leaderlessness.
Seizing power is to take advantage of the military rank when the army has no commanders and control the overall situation.
Now, Sergeant Alvin Stafford is unconscious, and Lieutenant Grett is being held down by the Cavern Evil Spiders.
Thus, Sergeant Pim has become the undisputed commander.
The soldiers didnt like this guy, but they had no choice but to follow orders and walk into the staircase, heading to the first underground level to face their new commander
Noland Lee, carrying the unconscious Sergeant Mike Adams, walked in the middle of the team, thinking as he walked. He always felt that he had overlooked some details.
Some critical details.
Look, Captain Murphy appeared on the third underground level as expected, going to rescue Lieutenant Grett.
Then after that, wouldnt Lieutenant Grett return to the first underground level?
Isnt the command of the Imperial Army still in the hands of Intelligence Department 4? Not seized by Sergeant Pim from Division Intelligence Unit Two.
But if thats the case, how do you explain that Lieutenant Grett didnt die on the third underground level?
Wasnt he supposed to be killed by the Cavern Evil Spiders?
Furthermore, if one tries to forcefully explain the reason why Lieutenant Grett didnt die, it inevitably involves the hidden power within the Imperial Army.
That would likely expose the existence of Marsha Murphy.
Noland Lees eyes flashed with insight, and he suddenly understood.
So, Lieutenant Grett must die.
Its just a nominal death, not an actual sacrifice.
After being saved by Captain Murphy, he would go from being in the open to being covert, becoming a hero who died gloriously in the eyes of the soldiers and a dead soul in Sergeant Pims eyes.
But why would Captain Murphy want Grett to die in name only?
Noland Lee was a bit confused, not fully understanding the situation, and felt that there was a hidden secret he did not know about.
He shook his head to drive away the distractions and started thinking about his predicament.
His situation is very bad.
With Sergeant Alvin Stafford unconscious and Lieutenant Grett disappearing, it means that there will be no one to help him block the pressure from Sergeant Pim.
This Death Notice Spy, Sergeant Pim, is likely to target him with devious means.bender
How should he deal with it then?
Should he rely on Corporal Mars and fight him head-on?
Noland Lee shook his head slightly, denying the idea.
After all, Corporal Marss military rank is a level lower, making it difficult for him to deter Sergeant Pim.
He must figure out another way.
The Soul Shield protects his soul.
But thats not enough.
His body must also be protected.
The best method is to master a death-type offensive spell, strike decisively when facing Pims threat to his life, and crush Pims malice.
But, death-type offensive spells are too flashy, and its easy to attract others attention, which is not suitable for dealing with Pim in front of the soldiers
Moreover, he had not yet deconstructed an offensive death spell.
In that case, summoning an undead to fight for him would be better. After the undead on the first and second underground levels are revived, their traces can be seen everywhere.
The undead that Noland Lee summons can hide among the Undead Army until the critical moment.
This plan has its pros and cons.
The advantage is that the undead he summons have the Undead Army as cover and will not be distinguished by the Imperial Army.
However, the disadvantage is that it could be accidentally injured by the Imperial Army.
But even this disadvantage is not without a solution.
Choosing the Cavern Stalkers as the summoning target would solve the problem.
Their appearance is just like stone bricks, so as long as they dont make unnecessary movements, they wont attract the attention of the Imperial Soldiers and can survive in battle.
Noland Lee reached into his pocket and held the chilly bone card in his hand, continuing to think.
He now possessed the Pure Bone Card, the core material for summoning undead creatures.
There were plenty of bones and corpse fragments needed for the summoning in the grave vaults.
The bone-melting powder needed for the summoning rituals should be the white bone ash on the skeleton warriors, which can be found everywhere and is not scarce.
Now he just needed the spell to summon the Cavern Stalkers.
But where should he look for this spell?
What should be deconstructed to get the summoning spell blueprints for the Cavern Stalkers?
Noland frowned slightly, his thoughts spinning rapidly.
The next second, he slapped his forehead and muttered to himself that he was
Well, theres no need to take the risk of being discovered and summon the undead creatures directly.
He was a bit foolish not thinking of this before.
Just find a ready-made Cavern Stalker, pluck the bone card from its body, and insert his own bone card. Wouldnt that allow him to use it as if it were his own summoned unit?
Others might not be able to pull off this cunning trick, but he certainly could.
He could easily approach the Cavern Stalkers with the Mark of Resentment on him, as long as he didnt show any intention of attacking.
If he was quick enough, he could pluck the bone card from the Stalkers body before it could react.
Theres no need to worry that this would waste the bone cards.
As long as the Pure Bone Card wasnt damaged, Noland could remove it from the undead at any time and save it for future use.
After finalizing his initial plan, Noland had only one problem left:
What kind of sinister trick would Sergeant Pim come up with to deal with him, the Sin Soldier?
The defeated Imperial Armys morale was low.
They marched in a heavy atmosphere, arriving at the first underground level and entering the campsite. Fortunately, the Stone Tomb Bound Spirits hadnt revived yet, otherwise, this group of beaten soldiers would definitely be beaten up.
Sergeant Pim had learned of the Imperial Armys defeat early on from the guards.
He put on his crisp uniform, meticulously combed his hair, put on his spotless glasses, and walked out of the tent.
Looking at the disheveled and dirty Imperial soldiers in front of him, Sergeant Pims face showed a hypocritical smile:
You have worked hard, soldiers of the Alvin Army. I have already received news of your failure on the third underground level. Lieutenant Gretts self-sacrificing spirit is worthy of everyones admiration. He is a true Hero of the Empire. Now, soldiers, listen up
Sergeant Pim walked slowly back and forth in front of the soldiers with his hands behind his back:
I am the highest-ranking military officer present, and I will assume temporary command of the Alvin Army
Report, Chief Officer! A soldier boldly interrupted, his face showing a touch of stubbornness and discontent:
Sergeant Alvin Stafford is resting in the camp. Maybe hes already awake Hehehe Sergeant Pim raised his hand, slowly smoothing his hair:
No, Sergeant Alvin Stafford is exhausted. He needs deep sleep to stabilize the injuries on his body, otherwise, his internal injuries will worsen. Soldier, you dont want Sergeant Alvin Stafford to fight with a serious illness, do you? Could you bear to see him coughing blood in front of you?
The speaking soldier lowered his head, no longer voicing any protest.
The other soldiers also looked down at the ground.
All right, time is running out. According to the combat regulations of the Imperial Army, it is only natural for me to take command. You have no right to object.
Sergeant Pim returned to the front of the formation, scanning the crowd and spotting Sin Soldier No. 888 at the back, but there was no trace of Corporal Mars.
A flash of ruthlessness flickered in Sergeant Pims eyes as he looked at Sin Soldier No. 888.
Attention, everyone rest in the camp. No one is allowed to leave the first underground level without my permission.
After finishing his words, Sergeant Pim raised his hand and pointed in
Nolands direction:
Guards, bring Sin Soldier No. 888 to me! I suspect hes a Death Notice Spy! I want to interrogate him right now!
What are you trying to dowhy would you imprison me
Noland feigned panic, allowing himself to be carried away by Pims guards.
He snickered inwardly.
Pim was really in a hurry, wasnt he?
Good, very good. It seemed that what had happened to Pig Cook was indeed like a sharp thorn, piercing deep into his heart.
Noland was calm and composed, his heart as still as water with not a trace of panic, contrasting sharply with his outwardly frightened appearance..
