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 didn’t 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, wouldn’t lieutenant grett return to the first underground level?

isn’t 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 that’s the case, how do you explain that lieutenant grett didn’t die on the third underground level?

wasn’t he supposed to be killed by the cavern evil spiders?

furthermore, if one tries to forcefully explain the reason why lieutenant grett didn’t die, it inevitably involves the hidden power within the imperial army.

that would likely expose the existence of marsha murphy.

noland lee’s eyes flashed with insight, and he suddenly understood.

so, lieutenant grett must die.

it’s 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 pim’s 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.

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 mars’s 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 that’s not enough.

his body must also be protected.

the best method is to master a death-type offensive spell, strike decisively when facing pim’s threat to his life, and crush pim’s malice.

but, death-type offensive spells are too flashy, and it’s 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 don’t make unnecessary movements, they won’t attract the attention of the imperial soldiers and can survive in battle.
