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.
