Chapter 105: 75. Sully’s Invitation_3
Translator: 549690339
“The Alvin Army’s next Legion Task has been determined. We are going to assist the Thales Army in clearing out Grave 717.”
Noland Lee asked:
“Grave 717? Isn’t that the place where a lot of Soul Bindings, Walking Dead, and even mid-level Undead Creatures appear? The next task for us might be too difficult, right?”
“Don’t worry, Jarvis,” Corporal Mars dodged two coal-carrying trolleys and continued:
“We’re there for support, not as the main force. The Thales Army is responsible for clearing out all tomb passages in Grave 717, while we secure the corpses of the Undead and delay the progress of the Undead Revival…”
Corporal Mars lowered his voice and said:
“There will be an extra task for you and me. You should understand what I mean. Once the Thales army clears out the Undead Creatures around the Spirit Pivot, it’s your turn.”
Noland Lee took a deep breath, turning the white steam he inhaled into a worried sigh:
“…Yes, Chief Officer, I understand. But thinking about Sully makes me feel somewhat heavy.”
Corporal Mars raised his hand and patted Noland Lee’s shoulder:
“I believe you’ll be fine. The Captain is looking forward to your performance in the next Task. In a few days, she will bring you some new reading material. These materials can increase your success rate. When she is ready, I will notify you.”
Noland Lee nodded, “Alright, Chief Officer. I really hope that someone else with the same knowledge as me will appear in the Legion Fortress.”
“There will be. The Legion is working hard to scout for them.”
As the two were chatting, they left the City Gate and entered the barracks camped outside the city walls.
Thanks to his involvement in the “Broken Coffin” plan, Noland Lee had a small single tent in the camp, the same one he arrived in.
Inside the tent were a bed, a stool, and a folding desk. There was no hot water or place to wash clothes, but fortunately, there was a public bath in the fortress where one could take a bath, wash clothes, and get haircuts.
Basically, living in the camp was quite comfortable, except for not being able to bring women or have drinks here.
Especially during the holidays, when soldiers from the army flocked into the fortress, the camp was practically deserted, with only the soldiers on patrol strolling around, providing a quiet and relaxing environment.
After sending Noland Lee to the tent, Corporal Mars immediately left to wait for Melinda, who was on holiday, at the entrance of the Medical Department.
He probably wouldn’t be coming back tonight.
Noland Lee was happy for the tranquility.
He lit the fireplace inside the tent, boiled a pot of strong tea, and contentedly sat on the stool, reading a book.
Nine days later.
It was the last day before the Army’s departure.
For eight consecutive days, Noland Lee had been going to the Medical Department, being the epitome of a man who fell in love.
Finally, today, he met Sully, who was off duty.
In the Grand Hall of the Legion Castle.
A huge Crystal Coal Lamp hung from the ceiling, sending warm light in all directions.
Noland Lee, dressed in clean military attire, leaned against the wall, waiting for Sully.
A fragrant breeze approached, and Sully, wearing a long skirt, shirt, and shawl, came to him.
Her outfit perfectly showcased her mature and slender figure, but her face showed a hint of guilt and anxiety.
“Jarvis, I suddenly have an urgent matter. Can you wait for me? I’ll be back soon.”
Noland Lee smiled gently:
“Sure, I’ll wait right here… Do you need any help? I’m at your service.” Sully thought for a moment and grabbed Noland Lee’s wrist:
“The Underground Morgue is urgently moving corpses. I need to go and watch the soldiers operate, otherwise there will be trouble. Are you willing to go with me? That place is rather gloomy… and smells bad.”
Noland Lee stood straight:
“No problem, lead the way, Sully.”
Seeing that Noland Lee did not refuse, Sully stretched out her arm and held onto his:
“Good- Follow me. Let’s go upstairs first. I need to change my coat so that the disinfectant doesn’t fade it..”
