Chapter 68: 57. Ice and Fire Dragon Head (5K Big Chapter)—3

Translator: 549690339

His corpse burned in the flames, turning into black ashes and dust that sank towards the ground, and before it touched the ground, it was encased in ice, turning into crystalline ice dregs.

At that moment, an inconspicuous black ray shot out from the dragon’s head and traversed several dozen meters at high speed, lurking in the staircase area.

Captain Murphy let out a surprisingly surprised cry:

“This guy is actually protected by the Death Herald Guild’s ‘Soul Retreat Crystal’! He is a high-level spy of the Death Herald Guild, not ordinary intelligence personnel!”

Captain Murphy’s figure blurred for a moment, leaving behind afterimages as he dashed towards the staircase.

“Grett, wait for me here, don’t move. I must catch up with that spy, or our plan will be exposed. Mars, you guard here too. If I don’t come back in time, take Grett to tne nrst unaergrouna level.”

“Yes, Chief Officer.” Grett answered in unison.

They stuck half their heads out from behind the wall and saw only the poison fog rolling, unable to see Murphy’s trace.

Just as they were marveling at how Captain Murphy came and went like the wind, they saw his figure reappear in front of them, and he also had a broken gray crystal in his hand.

Sergeant Mars asked:

“Chief Officer, did you catch the spy?”

Captain Murphy stared at the broken crystal in his hand for a few seconds before shaking his head and saying:

“I didn’t catch the spy… but our plan is not revealed either.”

“Why’s that…” Lieutenant Grett couldn’t help but mutter in confusion.

Captain Murphy held the crystal in his hand and said:

“Because the spy is dead, killed by the undead. He activated the ‘Soul Retreat Crystal’ and escaped from under my guard. His soul indeed fled, but all his belongings were left here.”

Captain Murphy bent over and picked up another amulet from Pim’s remains:

“…We’re lucky. His soul left too abruptly and could not take his amulet with him. Just as he escaped into the first-level underground staircase, he encountered the awakened undead. His ‘Soul Retreat Crystal’ was shattered by a Cavern Stalker, and his soul vanished in an instant.”

Grett and Mars understood the story and finally relaxed.

Death in the grave vault had two possible outcomes for humans.

If they were killed by a Soul Binder, their souls would be collected by the stone tomb and turned into a Soul Binder.

Otherwise, if killed by creatures like Cavern Stalkers, their souls would not be transformed into Soul Binders, but dissipate out of the blue.

So Pim was dead for good.

The warrant officers and sergeants on the scene who had experienced many battles were well aware of this fact.

After pondering for a few seconds, Captain Murphy decided to make some flexible adjustments to his plan:

“Grett, listen up.”

“Yes, Chief Officer.”

“The Emperor authorizes me to secretly establish a new military intelligence

Division Two. All personnel will be selected from targets assassinated by the Death Herald Guild. You are one of them.”

Lieutenant Grett, suddenly learning the truth behind the events, was shocked. His mouth involuntarily opened, while all the wrinkles on his face deepened simultaneously.

Before he could say anything, Murphy raised his hand to stop him:

“Time is urgent, let me finish speaking.” (f)reenovelkiss

“My original plan was to use the assassination attempt by the Death Herald Guild to turn you, an ostensibly deceased Imperial soldier, into a covert agent for the new Military Intelligence Division 2. You will be promoted to Second Order ‘Imperial Fist’ right here, while also becoming the shadow of the Emperor, secretly investigating the current Military Intelligence Division 2 personnel…”

Captain Murphy pointed at the wreckage on the ground:

“However, there were unexpected variables in the plan, such as this Death

Herald spy disguised as a Division Intelligence Unit Two investigator.”

“His appearance disrupted my plan. We must give some reasonable explanations for his disappearance, or it will affect my follow-up actions.”

“So, I have a new action plan…”

Looking at Lieutenant Grett, Murphy raised his hand in salute:

“Congratulations, Grett, your death has been postponed. You will continue to serve as a livinq Imperial Warrant Officer, replacing Serzeant Major Alvin Stafford in commanding the Imperial Army to clean up Grave No. 1079. The next time the Death Herald Guild launches an assassination attempt on you, it will be the time for me to transform you into a shadow agent. Understand?” “Yes, Chief Officer.” Grett saluted, and a hint of exhaustion flickered on his determined face.

His mutant potion was about to take effect.

“Prepare to enter slumber, I will keep watch here until you wake up.

“Remember, you and Mars will return to the first underground level, find out what happened first, then adapt accordingly and give a clear explanation about the death of the Division Intelligence Unit Two investigator and your own survival. Don’t give Military Intelligence Division 2 any ammunition.”

“The Emperor judges that the current Military Intelligence Division 2 has been severely infiltrated by the Death Herald Guild.”

With his body shaking and swaying, Lieutenant Grett seemed to be passing out at any time.

Still, relying on his strong will, he said:

“Yes…Chief Officer… It’s so unexpected…that Military Intelligence Division 2, which has always seen itself as the enemy of the Death Herald Guild… has become the pawn of the Death Herald Guild…”

“Snap.”

Lieutenant Grett fell to the ground, snoring softly.

His pores all over his body emitted spider silk at the same time.

After ten seconds, his body was wrapped in a huge cocoon formed by the spider silk.

Seeing this scene, Captain Murphy nodded slowly, knowing that the potion had taken full effect inside him.

“Mars, how much longer until the Korabo Legion’s reinforcements arrive?”

“They’ll be here within an hour. I heard that the team leader is a hot-headed lieutenant named Sterling.”

“Hmm, Sterling…that’s who I’ve been waiting for,” said Captain Murphy.

“What do you mean by that, Chief Officer?”

Murphy tilted his chin slightly, pointing at Grett on the ground:

“Like him, Sterling is also a target of the Death Herald Guild’s assassinations. Tomb No. 1079 has become a place for the Death Herald Guild to carry out serial assassinations on Imperial Warrant Officers.”

For some reason, Murphy sighed softly:

“Oh. Division Intelligence Unit Two has placed intelligence personnel in the Death Herald Guild, which is effective. The assassination plan I obtained from the Death Herald Guild came from that. However, Division Intelligence Unit Two has also been severely infiltrated. This is perhaps the drawback of inserting intelligence agents into illegal forces..”
