Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 61 61. The Return of the Hero

In front of the tent where the fallen soldiers were placed.

Li Nuo lifted the door curtain, twisted his chin and lowered his head in thought.

The imperial soldiers who died in battle were actually protected by the Spiritual Pivot.

No.

That's not accurate.

The correct statement should be:

The imperial soldiers who died in battle would be sucked away by the Spirit Pivot to remove the soul fragments from the corpse at the moment of their death.

In the past half an hour, Li Nuo carried three "fresh" corpses successively, confirming this point repeatedly.

Furthermore, all the survivors who died in battle within the range of the coffin, regardless of whether they died by the hands of the undead, will be taken away by the coffin to remove the soul fragments from the corpse.

If Li Nuo wanted to improve his soul strength, he had to avoid the influence range of the spirit pivot.

Looking at the frontline where the fight was in full swing, Li Nuo felt a strange feeling in his heart.

How does he feel that the Necromancer sect is making a steady profit?

Using the essence of immortality in the coffin as bait, supplemented by the threat of land fall, forced the imperial army to come to the tomb to clean up the filth.

In this process, the imperial army invested a lot of materials and consumed a lot of troops.

What did the imperial army get?

The essence of immortality that replenishes vitality, and the tomb that may be occupied by the undead again at any time.

The Necromancer sect paid the Essence of Eternal Life, the magic material for creating the coffin, and the spell-casting material for summoning the army of the undead.

Other than that, there shouldn't be any extra cost.

Are these expenses big for the Necromancers?

Li Nuo is not an insider of the Necromancer Sect, he is not very clear about the situation.

But he felt that if the cost of war was a huge burden for the Necromancer, then the group of dead would choose to sleep underground to accumulate strength.

Instead of picking up trouble in various tombs from time to time like now, forcing the imperial army to clean it up.

In any case, the Necromancer sect has paid material and harvested souls.

For the undead who live on the soul, this is absolutely a steady profit.

…

"Sir, I moved the bodies of the fallen soldiers into the tent."

Li Nuo wiped the sweat from his forehead, came to the bottom of the high platform, and looked up at the guards above.

The guard lowered his head, just about to say something, but inadvertently glanced across the stairwell from the corner of his eye, his face filled with joy in an instant:

"Oh my God! Look everyone! Second Lieutenant Great is back! Second Lieutenant Great is back!"

His cry was less pronounced over the roar of the guns, but the name "Gretel" was too compelling.

Several soldiers poked their heads out of the barrier, looked in the direction pointed by the guard, and then turned their heads and shouted at their companions.

"It's really Ensign Great! Look, guys! Ensign Great didn't die!!"

"Let me see!...Hiss! It's unbelievable that he escaped from the devil spider in the crypt!"

"Who is the person next to Second Lieutenant Great? Is it Pim?...Eh? No, it's not Pym, it's Sergeant Mars! Could it be that Sergeant Mars and Sergeant Pim rescued Lieutenant Great together? What about Sergeant Pym?"

"Don't worry about that guy from MI2. When I think of his face, I feel disgusted. A big man who combs his hair and manicures all day is really disgusting."

The gunfire at the front weakened briefly, and the soldiers poked their heads out of the barrier, talking in the direction of Gretel and the two of them.

If it weren't for the guards on the high platform who yelled and shouted to maintain the order of the battle, the front line might have fallen into a state of "dumb fire".

It's no wonder that the soldiers didn't obey the discipline. It was really a shocking scene when Second Lieutenant Gretel returned to the camp.

A mortal man appeared in front of him alive, and the suspense was enough to make everyone curious.

Li Nuo faced the direction of Gretel and the two of them, and opened his mouth slightly, with a look of surprise written all over his face.

He knew Ensign Great was not dead.

He also guessed that Sergeant Marrs would return with Lieutenant Great.

However, the traverser who has mastered the death spell is the best criminal No. 888.

Li Nuo ran towards Sergeant Marrs with just the right look of surprise, just like a member of the squad who saw the chief survive.

"Commander Mars, you are so powerful that you even rescued Second Lieutenant Gretel." Li Nuo ran to Mars with a little admiration and said.

Mars was now putting Gretel's right arm on him, helping him to the camp.

Then look at Second Lieutenant Gretel, this burly man, with his eyes closed and his teeth clenched tightly, with veins popping out of his face and cuts and bruises all over his body. There is nothing good about him, and he looks completely in pain.

But actually... Li Nuo knew very well that Second Lieutenant Gretel was in very good condition.

When Li Nuo met Lieutenant Great for the first time, he needed 1,000 energy points to completely deconstruct him.

Now, that number has doubled to more than 2,000 points.

This shows that Second Lieutenant Great has been promoted from the first-level "Fist of the Empire" to the second-level.

The painful expression on his face and the injury on his body were deliberately disguised.

Li Nuo shook his head secretly, thinking what kind of army he had joined, how come everyone is an actor...

Sergeant Marrs' acting isn't bad either.

He intentionally tightened the lines on his face, and said solemnly:

"Jarvis, now is not a good time to chat. Go and get the medical soldiers to help. Second Lieutenant Gretel severely exhausted his body in order to fight against the Crypt Evil Spider, and suffered serious injuries. He needs to be treated immediately .”

"Yes, sir, I'll go right away."

Li Nuo looked towards the stairwell behind the two, pretending to look for Pim.

His face showed just the right embarrassment and aggrieved, and finally turned away with a long sigh:

"Sir, there's something I want to tell you, Sergeant Pim... Hey, forget it, let's talk about it later, I'll call the medical soldiers first."

As soon as Li Nuo left, the onlookers surrounded the two of Gretel.

Surrounded by the two heroes, they walked towards the medical tent.

Some soldiers are more anxious and straightforward, and they can't bear the bad breath in their chests, so they sprayed directly.

"Sir Gretel, Sergeant Pym is really disgusting!"

"Yes! We want to save you, but he won't let us go!"

"He suspected that Criminal Soldier 888 was a spy of the Death Council. He arrested and interrogated Criminal Soldier 888 without even asking Sergeant Alvin! Do you think this is too much! This is not beating our gang Sergeant's face? Sin soldier No. 888 is the one who saved us sergeants!"

"What?! Jarvis was interrogated by Pym? When did this happen?" Sergeant Marrs was dumbfounded.

Although Second Lieutenant Great closed his eyes tightly, he shook his body, obviously paying close attention to this issue.

Sergeant Hans had worked with Li Nuo before and had a high opinion of Li Nuo in his heart.

He took the bait and said:

"It happened just after we retreated from the third basement level. As soon as we got back to the camp, Pim couldn't help but arrest the criminal soldier 888. It turns out that there is nothing wrong with the criminal soldier 888! Pim didn't even have a fart." No interrogation! We can only release Criminal Soldier No. 888... By the way, Mars, where are the Pims? Didn’t he and his four guards go to rescue Second Lieutenant Gretel?"

Yeah, where's Pym?

Everyone looked at the dark stairwell, looked at each other, and had to focus on Mars.

Sergeant Marrs took a deep breath, a trace of grief flashed across his face, and his voice became hoarse:

"Sergeant Pim, he... He died, and so did his four guards. After I fled to the second basement with Second Lieutenant Gretel, I was surrounded by stone tomb spirits. If it weren't for Pim and his The guard, you risked your life to rescue us, the ones who died on the second basement floor were the two of us."

"Dead... Pym is actually dead"

"He has today too! . . . Ah, I'm sorry, I mean, Pym is so heroic . . . "

"Didn't expect Pym to sacrifice himself, I thought he was a complete jerk"

Sergeant Marrs looked at the soldiers in front of him, feeling a little helpless.

Both he and Second Lieutenant Gretel knew of the spies of Pym's death club.

But this information cannot be made public at this time.

At least not now.

Because, there are two ways of two-line communication and one-line communication between spies in the death club.

Single-line contact means that the upline knows the identity of the downline, but the downline does not know the identity of the upline.

Two-line communication means that both the offline and offline know the identity of the other party.

Pim's true identity must be known by another group of spies from the Death Society.

After the news of his identity being exposed spread out, it would soon arouse the vigilance of other spies who had been killed, which in turn would affect Captain Murphy's follow-up plans.

In order to take the overall situation into consideration, he could only bear with it at this time, and after the mission here was completed, he would reveal Pim's true identity.

Just when the soldiers were feeling emotional, Li Nuo came back with the medical soldiers.

He just heard the news of Pim's death, and his expression became extremely complicated.

After being oppressed, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

There is also the joy after the sudden death of the hated person.

There was also a slight shock, as if he didn't expect Pim to sacrifice himself for others.

It took him a long time to show this series of micro-expressions.

His purpose is clear.

That is to make himself an ordinary criminal soldier who has no knowledge of Pim's true identity.

"The sacrifice of Sergeant Pym is really regrettable. I thought he was a guy who would only make trouble, but I didn't expect him to have a fearless side."

With a sigh and emotion, Li Nuo dispelled the complicated expression on his face, and made way sideways:

"Sir, the medics are here."

Lieutenant Great was gently lowered onto the stretcher.

The medical soldiers lifted the heavy stretcher, waved away the crowd, and ran towards the medical tent.

After Second Lieutenant Great left, the atmosphere at the scene was no longer so intense.

What should the soldiers do, they walked towards their own barriers one after another.

Sergeant Marrs grabbed Li Nuo and walked towards his team's tent.

"Jarvis, tell me what happened. How did Pym interrogate you? What did he ask you, and what did you answer?"

After entering the tent, Sergeant Marrs lowered his voice with a very serious tone:

"You didn't reveal our plan, did you?"

"No, sir. In the name of an MI2 investigator, he forced me to reveal the person who taught me the Necromantic Rune, and greeted me with a shock collar. I didn't say anything."

Li Nuo was honest when he spoke.

He made up his mind to get himself out of this trouble, and there must be no mistakes.

But Sergeant Mars glanced up and down at Li Nuo, obviously not convinced.

He knew all too well the methods of MI2.

If Pim really wants to be cruel and murderous, how many people can bear it?

But looking at Li Nuo's appearance, it seems that he has not been tortured and interrogated, and there is no injury on his body...

No, no, did Pym use Veritaserum?

Sergeant Mars focused his eyes slightly, staring closely at Li Nuo's face, flapped his nose slightly, and took a few breaths.

Veritaserum has a pungent smell.

After anyone drinks it, it will leave a noticeable odor in the mouth.

In addition, people who drink veritaserum will have sequelae of pupil tremor and trance. Only people with excellent physical fitness can be immune to sequelae, such as "Fist of the Empire".

Li Nuo did not have these phenomena, nor was he an "Imperial Fist".

Then there is only one answer.

Li Nuo was not given Veritaserum, and Pym did interrogate him with an electric shock collar. Li Nuo did not shake off Captain Murphya.

Sergeant Marrs suddenly slapped his forehead and laughed at himself in a low voice:

"Hey, I almost missed the turn... If Pim knew that Captain Murphy was hiding in the army, he would definitely leave the tomb immediately instead of going to the third basement to find death. So you must not have confessed to Murphy Captain's presence."

"What? Sir? What are you talking about?" Li Nuo looked bewildered on the surface, but he sighed inwardly——Mr. Mars, you finally came to your senses.

"No no no, it's nothing. You're a good guy, Jarvis. I trust you. You're sure you didn't give away the plan."

Sergeant Myers reached out and patted the shoulder.

Just as he was about to say a few words of relief, a whistle came from outside the tent.
