He quickened his pace, sprinting upstream along the underground river, reaching an area beneath the steam boiler room.
Here, he encountered a dozen Imperial Soldiers who had just finished their battle.
The sound of Lieutenant Cavados footfalls startled the soldiers, who were bandaging their wounds behind the military barricade, visibly wounded.
They immediately raised their guns, aiming at him.
If they hadnt recognized the military uniform on Lieutenant Cavado, a friendly fire ident almost urred at the scene.
Hold fire, dont shoot, it seems to be an investigator from Division Intelligence Unit Twopresenting my report, Chief Officer!
A sergeant ran out from the crowd of soldiers and saluted the lieutenant that wasing towards him:
Korabo Legion Fortress Guards, the 115th Garrison Squad is on duty, could you identify yourself?
Superintendent Investigator Cavado from Intelligence Unit TwoWhat happened here? Did you see a group of Skeleton Warriors? Lieutenant Cavado crossed the defense lines railing, asking questions one after another.
The sergeant spoke:
Report, sir. Not long ago, a team of Undead Constructs walked over using the underground river, attacking the Steam Boiler Room. We immediately set up a defense line and sessfully annihted this Skeleton Army.
Good job. I have brought the breakout route map. Now I need to meet the Fortresss Commanderhows the situation on the ground level?
Lieutenant Cavado, while walking towards the entrance of the Steam Boiler Room, asked the sergeant.
Report. The Legion Castle has been upied by the undead. Left with no choice, the Commander ordered the destruction of the second to fifth floors of the Castle, to prevent the confidential files from falling into the hands of the Undead Cult. The Commander is now near the Steam Train Station, gathering troops, preparing for the breakout to outside of the city.
Lieutenant Cavado silently nodded, pushed the metal door open, and stepped into the Steam Boiler Room.
The underground river path he just walked through, although it leads straight to the suburbs, was too narrow and had poor terrain.
Legion troops walking through this path would be easily surrounded and annihted by the undead army in the underground.
Therefore, a breakout route that could be used by arge army was necessary.
Division Intelligence Unit Two wasnt just idling all day.
While they were keeping an eye on the illegal forces within the Empire, they also, under the request of Intelligence Department 4, secretly assisted all Legions in arranging backup escape routes.
That breakout route map recorded the escape route for the Korabo Legion Troops.
Only by proceeding in the correct way would the escaping soldiers not trigger the traps and explosives used to fend off the undead.
To hand over the breakout route map to the Fortress Commander, half of Lieutenant Cavados mission on this journey would bepleted.
During the remaining time, he just had to take back the remains of the self-destructing skeleton that killed Kasha, to give Intelligence Department 1 an answer.
However
Would this be a bit too rash
Lieutenant Cavado came to the ground level, faced the pitter-pattering ck rainwater, and sank into contemtion.
In his own view, Kasha was indeed killed by a self-destructing skeleton, and
those Skeleton warriors who attacked Kasha were already Killed by the soldiers guarding the Boiler Room.
But would Intelligence Department 1 believe all this?
Lieutenant Cavado was doubtful whether his words could earn the trust of the Chief Officer and Intelligence Department 1.
All he knew was that he must find a way to make the investigation results more convincing.
Ooh err Ooh err
A weird noise entered Cavados ears.
Lieutenant Cavado alertly raised his gun, looked at the passing refugee group, his expression shocked.
By the Emperor, what have I seen a few Walking Deads are actually escorting a group of female nurses! And none of the female nurses in the scene are resisting!
A chill ran up Lieutenant Cavados spine! Without any hesitation, he pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang bang..
After a series of rough gunshots, the heads of the Walking Dead burst one after another.
The gunfire startled the nurse group which had not long escaped danger, causing a series of screams.
Among the many females, the male soldier with a pale face and heavy dark bags under his eyes was so striking.
He was exuding a powerful scent of death all over his body, like a breathing walking corpse.
Bang!
There was one more round hole in his forehead.
He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but couldnt get a word out, his eyes filled with sadness and loss.
He swayed a few times, finally falling to the ground with heavy fatigue, falling into the umted water.
No! Why did you kill him! Why did you kill him!eastern fantasy
A voluptuous female nurse ran out from the crowd, she squatted on the soldiers body mournfully screaming:
He saved us! He saved us from the undead! Why did you kill him! Why!
No reason, nurse. He vited the Empires taboo. As an investigator for Division Intelligence Unit Two, I should kill him on the spot.
Lieutenant Cavado blew the smoke from the muzzle, came to the deceased soldier, picked up the body with one hand, shouldered it, and turned around to leave.
Behind him, the female nursey deste on the ground, in front of her was ck umted water and the bloodstains left by the deceased soldier:
Whywhywhy did you hurt Yog, why did you kill him why did you hurt Jarvishe merely followed ordershes not a bad person
Sully lifted her head to look at Lieutenant Cavados back.
Her face was covered with water droplets, it was unclear whether it was rainwater or tears.
Her lips quivered violently, as though there was endless grief and indignation that she couldnt voice out..
