Chapter 122: 83. Battle of the Watchtower

The Elite Covert Ops Team is in charge of secret operations, consisting of a total of 15 members.

Lieutenant Slyke Thompson takes the role of the team captain.

The three lieutenants under his command serve as the deputy captains.

Except for Noland Lee and Mars who are not sergeant majors, all other team members hold the rank of Sergeant Major.

But they are not ordinary Sergeant Majors.

As Corporal Mars explained, these Sergeant Majors do not lead troops into battle. They specialize in emergency handling and assault, they are pure combat machines.

They are not warrant officers, but each of them can transform into a Biochemical Giant for an extended period with the help of potions, even longer than Sergeant Alvin Stafford.

In essence, this so-called elite squad is aimed at sabotage behind enemy lines; everything is predicated on efficiency and destructive power.

Noland Lee understands the reason.

But the question is, why are these burly Sergeant Majors all bald, and why do they have dark black numbers on the back of their heads?

This is the characteristic of Empire’s Military Academy’s elite fighters, Jarvis, I am used to it already,” said Corporal Mars.

Corporal Mars slid into the carriage and whispered to Noland Lee beside him,

“Before entering the Imperial Soldier Academy, you had to have a physical examination, right? Only those who passed the physical could enter the Academy. If the exam results were outstanding, they would be assigned to the elite fighter class. Shaving their heads and spraying numbers on the back of the heads are all characteristics of the elite fighters.

“These people are generally guaranteed to become warrant officers. From the moment they set foot in the Empire’s Military Academy, they can be directly promoted to lieutenants after three years of continuous service. Those lieutenants you see who don’t lead troops all got promoted this way, like Lieutenant Grett.”

Noland Lee exclaimed,

So some people are born warrant officers.”

“Isn’t that the case,”

“Boom, boom…” The steam locomotive started and smoothly set off to the ruins outside the camp.

The engineering team from Intelligence Department 4, dug many spiral downward tunnels in the ruins.

Through these underground tunnels, one could directly reach the river bank underground without encountering undeads. It was faster and safer than taking the tomb passage.

Lieutenant Slyke Thompson’s original plan was to take Grave 717, but his plan was disrupted by the sudden undead riot.

As a last resort, he requested to use the secret underground tunnels dug by Intelligence Department 4.

These underground tunnels are secret and are protected with the strictest confidentiality measures.

Now, it is time to activate them.

The soldiers of the engineering department guarding here received the news in advance. They opened the entrance of the underground tunnel waiting for the elite squad to enter.

Members checked the military supplies they carried for the last time and entered the underground entrance hidden in the ruins in turns.
