53. Plan before you act

If Sergeant Pym wanted to bury all the Imperial troops in this ancient tomb, he would have to complete the two steps of beheading and seizing power.

Decapitation, i.e., the use of the hands of the undead to kill Captain Glitter and Sergeant Alvin, leaving the Imperial army uncommanded.

And the seizure of power is to use the rank to control the overall situation when the army has no commander.

Now, Sergeant Alvin is unconscious, and Ensign Gretel is being dragged by the Crypt Spider.

Sergeant Pym became a well-deserved commander invisibly.

The soldiers didn't like this guy, but they could only walk into the stairwell with their heads down, and go to the underground level to face their new commander...

Leno carried the unconscious Corporal Mica on his back and walked in the middle of the line, thinking as he went.

He always felt like he was overlooking some details.

Some crucial details.

You see, Captain Murphy appeared on the third basement level as expected, and went to rescue Second Lieutenant Gretel.

Wouldn't Ensign Gretel return to the basement after that?

Isn't the command of the Imperial Army still in the hands of MIs? It's not going to be taken away by Sergeant Pym from MI2.

But if that's the case, how can you explain that Second Lieutenant Glitter didn't die on the third basement floor?

Shouldn't he have been killed by the Crypt Spider?

Further, if you want to forcibly explain the reason why Second Lieutenant Glitter was not killed, it must involve the strong men hidden in the Imperial army.

This has the potential to expose the existence of Martha Murfia.

A gleam flashed in Li Nuo's eyes, and he had an epiphany.

So, Second Lieutenant Glitter must die.

It is a death in name, not a sacrifice in the true sense of the word.

After being rescued by Captain Murphy, he will turn from light to darkness, becoming a hero who honors justice in the eyes of the soldiers, and a dead soul in the eyes of Sergeant Pym.

But why did Captain Murphy let Gretel die in name?

Li Nuo was a little confused, he didn't understand the situation too much, and he always felt that there was a secret hidden in it that he didn't know.

He shook his head, distracting himself and thinking about his situation instead.

He was in a very bad situation.

Sergeant Alvin fell unconscious, and Ensign Gretel disappeared, which meant that there would be no one to help him stop the pressure from Sergeant Pym.

Pym, a spy of the Death Society, will most likely use insidious means to greet him.

When the time comes, how will he respond?

Rely on Sergeant Mars and the other side to be tough?

Li Nuo shook his head slightly, rejecting the idea.

Sergeant Mars's rank is one level lower after all, and it is difficult to deter Sergeant Pym.

I'll have to find another way.

The Soul Shield protected his soul.

But that's not enough.

His body also needs to be protected.

The best way is nothing more than to master the death offensive spell, and when faced with the threat to Pym's life, he will strike decisively and crush Pym's malice.

However, the movement of the death offensive spells is too big, and it is easy to attract the attention of others, and it is not suitable for Fu Pim...

And he didn't deconstruct the offensive death spell.

In that case, it would be better to summon an undead to fight for him.

When the undead on the first and second basement floors are revived, they can be seen everywhere.

The undead summoned by Li Nuo can blend into the ranks of the undead army and hide, waiting for the critical moment to act.

There are pros and cons to this approach.

The good thing is that the undead he summons have an army of undead as cover and will not be identified by the Imperial army.

But the disadvantage is that it is easy to be accidentally injured by the Imperial army.

However, this disadvantage is not without ways to improve.

It would be nice to select the Crypt Lurker as a summon target.

The appearance of this thing is the same as that of stone bricks, as long as it does not move, it will not attract the attention of Imperial soldiers, and it will be able to survive in battle.

Li Nuo reached into his pocket, held the cold domino in the palm of his hand, and continued to think.

The "Pure Dominoes" have arrived, which is the core ingredient for summoning undead creatures.

The aggregates and corpse remains needed for summoning are everywhere in the tombs.

The molten bone powder needed for the summoning ceremony should be the white ashes on the skeleton soldier's body, which can be picked up everywhere and is not scarce.

Now it's just a spell that summons the Crypt Lurkers.

But where can I find this spell?

What is it to deconstruct to get the blueprint for a spell that summons the Crypt Lurkers?

Li Nuo frowned slightly, his mind spinning rapidly.

The next second, he patted his head and secretly said that he was really a little sluggish.

Eh, there's no need to risk being discovered and summon undead creatures.

I'm a little stupid.

Just find a ready-made crypt lurker, deduct the dominoes in its body, and stuff your own dominoes into it, won't you be able to use it as your own summoning unit?

Others may not be able to do such a set of sassy operations, but he can definitely do it.

With the "Mark of Resentment" on his side, he can easily approach the Crypt Lurkers as long as he does not show offensive intent.

If you're fast enough, you'll be able to take down the dominoes from the Crypt Lurker before it can react.

Don't worry about wasting dominoes by doing so.

As long as the "Pure Domino" is not damaged, Li Nuo can always detain this thing from the undead and save it for the next time.

After finalizing the preliminary plan, Li Nuo now has only one problem:

What kind of trick will Sergeant Pym do to deal with his own criminal soldier?

The morale of the defeated Imperial army was low.

They made their way up in a dreary atmosphere to the basement level and into the camp. Fortunately, the stone mound binding spirit has not yet been revived, otherwise this group of remnants of the army will definitely be beaten.

Sergeant Pym learned early from the guards that the Imperial army had been defeated.

He put on a crisp military uniform, meticulously combed his hair, put on spotless glasses, and walked out of the tent.

Looking at the pale and dirty-clad Imperial soldiers in front of him, a false smile appeared on Sergeant Pym's face:

"It's been a hard work, fellow soldiers of Alvin's army. I've received the news of your defeat on the third basement floor. Second Lieutenant Gretel's self-sacrificing spirit deserves the admiration of each of us. He is a true hero of the empire. Now, soldiers, listen up..."

Sergeant Pym walked slowly in front of the soldiers with his hands behind his back:

“… I am the highest-ranking sergeant on the field, and I will take over the interim command of Alvin's army .."

"Report, sir!" A soldier boldly interjected, with a hint of stubbornness and unconvincing on his face:

"Sergeant Alvin is resting in the camp, maybe he's awake."

"Hehehe.." Sergeant Pym raised his hand and slowly brushed his hair:

"No, Sergeant Alvin is tired. He needs a deep sleep to stabilize his injuries, otherwise the dark injuries in his body will worsen. Soldier, you don't want Sergeant Alvin to go into battle with a serious illness, do you? Can't you bear to see him spitting blood in front of you? ”

The soldier who spoke lowered his head and no longer protested.

The other soldiers did the same, looking at the ground.

"Well, time is pressing. According to the operational guidelines of the Imperial Army, it was only natural that I should take over the command. You have no standing to object. ”

Sergeant Pym stood back in front of the queue and glanced through the crowd to see Sin 888 at the back of the queue, but there was no sign of Sergeant Mars.

Sergeant Pym looked at Sinner 888 with a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

"Listen to the order, everyone rests in the camp. You are not allowed to leave the basement without my permission. ”

After speaking, Sergeant Pym raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Lenovo:

"Guard, bring Sinner 888 in for me! I suspect he's a spy for the Death Society! I'm going to interrogate him now! ”

"What are you going to do... Why are you holding me..."

Lino feigned panic and was picked up and dragged away by Pym's guards.

He sneered inwardly.

Pym, is he in such a hurry?

Well, well, it seems that what happened to Pig did pierce his heart like a sharp spike.

Li Nuo made up his mind and then moved, his heart was calm like water, without the slightest panic, which was very different from the panic shown on the outside.
