captain murphy took a step forward, entering the field of vision of corporal mars.
her tall figure was hidden under a black cloak, and a black hood covering her face was added to her head.
she wasn’t wearing an imperial uniform, but instead had changed into a black outfit with no logos or identification numbers.
no matter from which angle, she looked like a person in all black, difficult to associate with the imperial army, and even her gender was difficult to discern.
if not for knowing her identity in advance, no one would connect her with the army.
through her drooping hat brim and strands of hair, captain murphy’s gaze fell on mars’ face, stained with dirt and tears:
“did lieutenant grett give you any orders?”
“he told me to inform the soldiers to retreat to the first underground level,” said corporal mars.
“then you go follow his command, mars. i’ll take care of the field. also, i heard your muttering. your teammates are all brave imperial soldiers, and i’ll provide them with triple the compensation. once the ‘broken coffin’ plan is successful, each will receive an additional medal.”
corporal mars took a deep breath, his head heavy with emotion:
“…yes, chief officer.”
captain murphy continued:
“i’m going to kill the cavern evil spider now, ending this battle unfavorable to the empire. when the cavern evil spider is dead, i’ll take lieutenant grett away.
“corporal mars, remember my command: keep my presence here secret and don’t let anyone know i was here.
“as for lieutenant grett, he has already heroically sacrificed himself here.”
“do you understand?”
with a serious expression, corporal mars straightened his posture and replied:
“yes, chief officer, i understand. until the ‘broken coffin’ plan is successful, you are an empire officer who perished in tomb no.669. lieutenant grett is also a hero of the empire who died in grave no.1079.”
‘very well, go on. do what you must.”
captain murphy took a step back, her body fading into the darkness.
a chilly gust of wind blew, and captain murphy followed it, rushing towards the distant battlefield like a whirlwind.
once again, corporal mars felt his heart quiver at the strength of a third order extraordinary person.
he identified the direction and ran to the nearest hole in the wall:
“quickly retreat! quickly retreat! intermediate undead forces have appeared here! it’s a murderous cavern evil spider, transformed by a death notice assassin! lieutenant grett is buying us time; we must retreat quickly, or his sacrifice will be in vain!”
on the other hand, noland lee was carrying sergeant mike adams, slowly walking along the wall.
he suddenly felt a faint breeze brush past him, stirring the yellow-green poisonous fog and leaving ripples.
noland lee raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, turning his body towards mars’ direction and throwing a series of deconstruction techniques.
[system message: you are about to launch the deconstruction technique on
“special copper whistle”…]
[system message: you are about to launch the deconstruction technique on “marsha murphy”…]
oh, so that’s why.
noland lee’s eyes lit up slightly, revealing an enlightened expression.
no wonder corporal mars was determined to act separately; he wanted to secretly use the second copper whistle to contact captain murphy.
then it seems that the outcome of the battle on the third underground level is basically determined.
the cavern evil spider’s strength is roughly equal to 1.5 first order “imperial
fists,” far from a third order “imperial fist.”
it is estimated that in a few rounds, the cavern evil spider will be smashed into mud by captain murphy.
i really want to see how this battle scene goes, but unfortunately, i still have a mission…
however, to be honest.
corporal mars is quite ruthless.
really ruthless.
he clearly had a trump card in hand, but he watched his team get wiped out before calling captain murphy to help.
