over an hour later.
grave vault, first level.
sergeant alvin stafford prepared in two ways.
on one hand, he requested support from the legion fortress.
on the other hand, he ordered the attack.
the army was gathering.
the campsite was bustling with activity.
every soldier about to join the battle had a lightning spore on their arm – a mutated product that can release forked lightning.
after the soldiers drank an unknown mutagenic agent, these sprout-like things grew from their arms. noland lee didn’t understand how it worked.
sergeant alvin stafford made a temporary change in the military personnel arrangement.
including sergeant alvin stafford himself, his army had a total of 1 sergeant major, 18 sergeants, 80 corporals, and the rest were private second class.
originally, the 18 sergeants were the captains of the various small teams or members of the guard team.
now, alvin extracted 12 of them and put them together with the sin soldiers to form a special team:
soul-binding stone tomb disassembly squad.
corporal mars was appointed as the captain.
the sergeants were responsible for escorting the sin soldiers to the stone tomb, and under the supervision of the sergeants, the sin soldiers would tamper with the undead runes on the stone tomb.
at this point, intelligence department 4’s secret plan was semi-public in alvin’s army.
even if sergeant alvin stafford ordered to keep it a secret, the plan’s disclosure would only be a matter of time.
noland lee didn’t care about this, as he was just a sin soldier and didn’t need to consider the bigger picture.
now he only wanted to safely modify the undead runes.
however, some people just didn’t give him peace of mind…
“1 don’t care where you’re fom, you detter listen up clearly..”
the only three remaining sin soldiers of the army stood together, discussing the modification of the undead runes, occupying a small open space in the camp.
one tall, big sin soldier spat on the floor and said viciously:
“if you dare to command blindly while modifying the undead runes and cause my death… i guarantee that before i die, i will definitely drag you down with me.”
noland lee glanced at the scar on the eyebrow of this sin soldier and stared back at him without any fear:
“if you’re smart enough, stay quiet. with just a thought, i can use ‘death storm’ to crush you. what about you? what can you do besides yelling? you should be grateful that i need you to scout for landmines, otherwise… heh heh, whether you’re alive or dead, it means nothing to me.”
who can’t talk big, do you think i survived in the holy city of night by doing nothing?
for dealing with such a bully, li had to shut him up completely, otherwise, he would become even more arrogant.
noland lee’s words were more effective than low-level threats in terms of confidence and logic. anyone with an iqhigher than a child could understand their meaning.
as expected, the sin soldier’s eyes trembled slightly, and a hint of cowardice appeared in his tough attitude.
he twisted his neck, glared at noland lee, and looked away:
“you just wait, one day i’ll get you..”
noland lee wasn’t concerned and turned to look at another sin soldier standing beside him.
he was a man with just a slightly stronger build than noland lee and a very well-proportioned body.
throughout noland lee’s introduction of the undead runes, this guy remained silent, just lowering his head and nodding quietly without saying a word.
compared to the domineering scarred sin soldier, this silent sin soldier made noland lee more wary, likely the ruthless type who could easily capsize someone in the gutter.
noland lee noticed that this guy was missing a middle finger, seemingly forcibly removed, and guessed that he might have been a caught thief or something…
wait, it might not be a thief…
noland lee narrowed his eyes and had another guess about the identity of the silent sin soldier.
