The reconnaissance squad discovered Soul-bindings and Stone Tombs on the second level of the tomb!

Upon hearing this news, the campsite was immediately thrown into turmoil.

Young privates second class inquired the corporals for information, corporals who had never encountered Soul-bindings asked sergeants for an update, and sergeants shared what they knew with their teammates while casting solemn glances towards Sergeant Alvin Stafford’s tent.

For a moment, Noland Lee felt as if storm clouds were brewing, as if every soldier was carrying a heavy burden on their shoulders.

It made sense.

What is a Soul-binding Stone Tomb?

An evil structure capable of capturing the souls of both the living and the dead simultaneously.

What do soldiers fear the most?

Not being able to serve the Empire in life, and not being able to rest with honor in death.

The various features of the Soul-binding Stone Tomb targeted the Empire’s army weaknesses, inevitably causing unrest amongst the troops.

The soldiers had mixed opinions.

If Sergeant Alvin Stafford was wise, he should issue an order to postpone the attack now, right?

Even retreating altogether wasn’t out of the realm of possibility.

“Jarvis, come with me. Someone wants to see you.”

Corporal Mars, returning from the commander’s tent, woke Noland Lee, who was dozing off while leaning against a wall.

Opening his eyes, Noland Lee’s gaze was clear, not because his nap had cleared his mind, but because he had anticipated being summoned for a conversation.

Her features were sharp, her eyes bright, her lips thin, and her expression cold, which together with her long legs and waist-length hair gave her an aloof demeanor.

“Reporting for duty, Chief Officer.”

Noland Lee raised his right hand and saluted properly.

The officer before him held a higher rank than Sergeant Alvin Stafford, as she was a captain with third-order “Imperial Fist” capabilities.

“Noland Lee Jarvis, do you know who I am?

The female captain’s tone was cool, her smoking posture unchanged, showing no uneasiness at Noland Lee’s arrival, exuding confident energy. “Reporting, Chief Officer. I do not know your identity, just have some guesses.” “What guesses?” the female captain raised her chin slightly. “Just say it.” “The letter given to me by Corporal Mars must have been written by you.”

“Yes, indeed it was. I have also seen the level of knowledge of the Academy’s teaching assistant, which is indeed much stronger than that of a non-academic military background like me.”

“You’re too kind, Chief Officer. I must thank the Empire for nurturing me,” Noland Lee replied with a straight face.

“Not every flower bathed in sunlight can bear fruit. Your achievements also have to do with your own talents and efforts… Please sit, Jarvis, let’s discuss official matters.”

Once the other party sat down, the female captain continued:

“I am Marsha Murphy, a captain of Intelligence Department 4, and I am fully responsible for the secret plan that you are currently experiencing.” Captain Murphy paused:

“Internally, we call this plan ‘Broken Coffin’, implying the use of simple and efficient methods to crush the schemes of the Undead Cult… Have you seen the

tomb on the second level of the Stone Tomb?”

Noland Lee nodded:

“Yes, Chief Officer. It’s an old, gloomy, and sinister stone structure.”

“Did you notice that there are many black markings on the surface of the Stone Tomb? They are distributed regularly on the stone bricks, as if they were deliberately carved.”

“I noticed, Chief Officer.”

Captain Murphy put her cigarette in the ashtray, took a seat at her desk, and adopted a standard sitting posture:

“So, what do you think those black markings could be?”
