    [In order to record this significant event, Emperor Zorah Ill ordered the creation of a batch of stone statues that would not easily be eroded by time, and the general course of the event was portrayed on the stone statues in the form of carvings.]


    Nnd Lee slowly exhaled, his emotions in turmoil.


    If the carved content on this antique stone statue is true, then his previous guess might well be right.


    The Dusk Giants were not an illusion; they did indeed appear in history and urred at the end of the ancient Tatis Dynasty.


    It could even be said that it was their descent from the sky that led to the demise of the ancient dynasty and the emergence of the New Empire.


    Nnd Lee closed the coalmp and recalled his knowledge of history in the darkness, eager to find more clues.


    First of all, in the history of the ancient Tatis Dynasty taught at City College, there was indeed a ce called “Springtime in.”


    From the current geographical map of the empire, the so-called “Springtime in” is precisely the Suffering Bordend where Nnd Lee is currently located.


    It was the most prosperous and wealthy ce for the ancient dynasties, with numerous fertilends, fertilends, and a dense poption.


    Not only did the living like it here, but so did the dead.


    The tombs of the nobles and royal families of the ancient dynasties were chosen in this prosperous and scenic ce-


    Now that he thought about it carefully, many things made sense.


    The enmity between the emperor himself and the Undead Cult was ancient.


    It was a chain of hatred that spanned hundreds of years, involving the tragic deaths of friends and family and the miserable experiences of countless ordinary people.


    Nnd Lee was so adamant because of the two words “rebel army” mentioned on the stone statue carvings.


    During the reign of Zorah Ill, or the end of the ancient dynasty, the only army that could be called the “rebel army” was the one led by the modern Emperor Tatis I at that time.


    It was estimated that the modern Emperor started off his extraordinary road by leading his soldiers to surround Blood Lake and seize control of the Twilight Giant’s body.


    At that time, the modern emperor’s military power was not strong, and he was soon driven away by therge army assembled by Zorah Ill. He could only take away the most important things from the Twilight Giant’s body, leaving the corpse to Zorah Ill.


    This perfectly exins why the emperor would possess the “Twilight Dream” and why the Undead Cult controlled arge amount of “Vitality Surge.” “Dreamscape” is obviously much easier to carry than a giant’s body.


    As for why the humans of the ancient dynasty became the undead and formed the Undead Cult.


    Nnd Lee had the answer in his heart too.


    Do not forget that the Twilight Giant was suspended in the air by the ck tentacles.


    The humans of the ancient dynasties were probably corrupted by the contamination of the ck tentacles, causing them to fall into the undead and stand against the living.


    “I’ve dyed enough time; I have to act quickly.”


    Nnd Lee cast aside his distracting thoughts, picked up the damaged stone statue in front of him, and ced it back in the tunnel leading to the Artifact Repository with a 408-drop orientation.


    Moving back to the vicinity of the underground river, Nnd Lee thought for a moment and decided to leave through the underground passage dug by the Division Intelligence Unit Two.


    The reason was simple.


    Division Intelligence Unit Two obviously entered the underground using the steam lotive.


    If they wanted to avoid the ocean-like undead army while driving, they must have found a safe route beforehand; otherwise, they would have perished.


    This route might lead to the Division Intelligence Unit Two’s stronghold and put Nnd Lee in their territory.


    But it didn’t matter; once he left the undead sea above ground, Nnd Lee had plenty of ways to slip away from the Division Intelligence Unit Two.


    Nnd Lee checked the items he was carrying to make sure he didn’t leave any clues that could expose him. Then he activated “Tracking the Living” and stepped into the dim underground tunnel.


    In the ck, white, and gray picture in front of him, two very clear ruts appeared, left by the wheels of the steam lotive.


    The two tire prints were also scattered with the bullet heads of silenced rifles and many bone fragments.


    It seemed that even the Division Intelligence Unit Two could not avoid the attack of the metal skeletons even after getting on the car.


    The further forward he went, the more skeletons there were in the tunnel, most of which were remnants left after being melted by the Bee Syrup Bombs.


    A huge metal skull was stuck in a wall crack, the skull was dim and lightless, without the dark green soul light, and there was a spider-web-like crack in the center of the brow.


    These were the skulls of the Big Skeletons, and they had been killed by the Division Intelligence Unit Two personnel. The other parts of the body were scattered in fragments throughout the passage.


    By this point, all the Undead Constructs pursuing the Division Intelligence Unit Two were dead under the bombardment of firearms.


    It seems that as long as they’re willing to use ammunition, these metal-coated skeletons can still be wiped out like they’re made of paper.


    On his way, Nnd Lee hasn’t encountered a single “living” skeleton and even made off with a bunch of soul fragments for free.


    Taking advantage of others feels good, but Nnd Lee couldn’t bring himself to smile.


    With the skeletons gone, he was only left with members of Division Intelligence Unit Two waiting for him up ahead.


    Nnd Lee proceeded with the utmost caution, trying to step as lightly as possible.


    As he moved silently forward, he cast Deconstruction spells and used the system feedback messages to scout the path for himself, in case Division Intelligence Unit Two casuallyid some nasty traps.


    After about 20 minutes of feeling his way forward in this darkness, faint light appeared at the end of the tunnel.


    Listening closely.


    The hustle and bustle of voices and the sound of a steam lotive engine travelled along the night wind and into the tunnel.


    The light at the end of the tunnel flickered as the silhouette of people constantly passed by the coalmp.


    Nnd Lee slowly approached the ground level and stopped at a distance of only 20 meters from the entrance of the cave.


    At this distance, he could already use “Tracking the Living” to see what was going on above ground.


    “1, 2, 3, 4… There are at least 20 members of Division Intelligence Unit Two in front of me. It seems like they’re loading materials from the building onto the steam lotive. Are they preparing to flee?”


    Nnd Lee didn’t dare to act rashly.


    He hid his body in the shadows, avoiding being exposed by the swaying light.


    After a short while, a whistling sound came from outside.


    The soldiers of Division Intelligence Unit Two who were carrying materials neatly put down their items and ran towards the source of the whistle.


    In order to hear the sound clearly, Nnd Lee moved forward a bit and then stopped again. He continued to observe the scene above ground with his insight ability.


    Lieutenant Cavado was giving loud orders:


    “Everyone, listen. I just received the news. The garrison of Korabo Corps Fortress is organizing a breakout. We need to send abat team through the secret passage back to the fortress and provide the garrison with a breakout route map. Right now, listen to mymand. The responsibility of on-sitemand is temporarily handed over to Sergeant Kasha. She will lead you to a safety outpost. I will personally deliver the route map to the garrison…”


    Before Lieutenant Cavado could finish his words, Sergeant Kasha shouted in a sharp voice:


    “Report, Chief Officer! Let me go. I have spent the most time at Korabo Corps Fortress, and I am very familiar with itsyout and terrain. I promise to deliver the route map intact to the Commander of the garrison!”


    “Kasha…” Lieutenant Cavado muttered under his breath, seemingly annoyed by her presumptuous behavior.


    But contrary to Nnd Lee’s expectation, Lieutenant Cavado neither scolded Kasha nor refused her proposal.


    “Alright, Kasha, I ept your proposal. You can rece me in delivering the route map. But remember, you mustplete the task I assigned to you first before you can go to the istion room. Do you understand?”


    “Yes, Chief Officer!” Kasha replied loudly.


    Lieutenant Cavado mentioned several names and then said:


    “Those I just mentioned, stay and assist Sergeant Kasha with her operation. The rest of you, follow me to the carriage, leave this ce and head to the safety outpost.”


    “Yes, Chief Officer,” the soldiers replied in unison.


    Impatiently, Sergeant Kasha said to the temporary squad members:


    “Hurry up, put on the weapons and equipment, take mutant potions and battle potions, and fill the steam lotive with coal and water. We must return to the Legion Fortress as soon as possible.”


    There was amotion above ground.


    Underground, Nnd Lee’s figure had long since disappeared.


    Hey.


    Kasha, a while ago you were protected by more than 30 soldiers, with a Lieutenant by your side; I couldn’t touch you then.


    But now, you’re surrounded by only two elite fighters.


    No one will wait for you forever, Kasha, except for Old Six.


    Nnd Lee sprinted at full speed into the depths of the underground tunnel..
