Chapter 45: 37. Silent Counterattack

Translator: 549690339

“Jarvis…”

The fully-armed Imperial Army was about to set out, and Corporal Mars raised his hand to touch the silent Sin Soldier’s shoulder.

Since the quarrel between Alvin and Pim, Noland Lee had been lost in thought, like a silent rock capable of obeying commands.

This made Corporal Mars feel a bit uneasy.

“Jarvis, don’t take Pim’s words to heart. He’s an Intelligence Department 2 investigator who always doubts everything. Every day, his job is only to question this and that.”

“You were indeed chosen by Intelligence Department 4 to carry out a secret plan. But that doesn’t mean you’ll be silenced by them. Only Intelligence Department 2 and 6 could do such a thing. Our Department 4 values discipline and honor. We won’t do anything to you unless you betray the Empire. Trust me.”

“Yes, sir…”

Noland Lee slowly exhaled, nodded, and replied in agreement:

“I just feel like I’m not in control. Ever since my parents and siblings died in a car accident, it seems like I’ve lost my autonomy, and I can only be maneuvered by others.”

Noland Lee smiled helplessly:

It’s just that I haven’t gotten used to my identity yet… A Sin Soldier doesn’t have much freedom to speak of in the first place. Having been allowed to serve the Empire bearing the weight of my crimes is already a kindness from the Empire Law.”

“Don’t see your future as gloomy, Jarvis.”

Corporal Mars lowered his voice and moved closer to Noland Lee’s ear, saying:

“I won’t hide it from you. I want to tell you a semi-public secret that you might be interested in.”

Corporal Mars spoke softly, and Noland Lee listened attentively.

“It all starts with an investigation conducted by Intelligence Department 4…

“According to statistics, it takes about 8 million New Solon currency to clear a large-scale undead grave vault like Grave No.1079. You should know how huge an amount this is…”

Noland Lee was taken aback, “8 million? That much?”

“Yes, don’t be surprised.” Corporal Mars explained:

“Over 60% of that money is spent on breaking the magic protective cover of the Spirit Pivot.

“We have to burn the magic protective cover non-stop for 24 hours using liquid flame, so as to gradually consume its energy and finally disable it.
