“Yes, Chief Officer.”

Lieutenant Cavado endured the headache brought on by the Truth Serum, started the steam locomotive, and headed towards the secret entrance of the underground tunnel.

With the opening of the carriage door and a gust of wind, the man in the back left.

Lieutenant Cavado slammed the steering wheel angrily, gritting his teeth and growling:

“Damn murderer! I’ll crush you! You ruined me!”

Lieutenant Cavado vented his anger at the car.

When he finally calmed down, he noticed that his chief officer had left a letter on the co-pilot’s seat.

Driving the steam locomotive while opening the envelope and reading it, Lieutenant Cavado’s expression changed from furious to solemn, and then to somber.

The anger in his eyes dissipated completely, replaced by full of confusion and contemplation.

“Before Kasha died, her bloodline power failed to send any warning to the Emperor! She didn’t even have a chance to use the elixir and transform into the

‘Imperial Fist’ before the murderer snuffed out all her vitality.”

“Snuffed out her vitality… Intelligence Department 1 preliminarily determined that Kasha’s vitality was ‘snuffed out’.” Lieutenant Cavado pondered for a moment:

“Hiss… So, it’s either the Undead controlling death energy or the Death Herald Guild scum that ambushed Kasha? However, as far as I know, the people in the Death Herald Guild don’t have the ability to instantly unleash death energy. They have to chant spells or raise their magic wand to store power. That brief time should have been enough for Kasha to discover the enemy. Only a small number of Undead Creatures could snuff out her vitality before Kasha could react.”

Recalling the metal skeleton that emerged from the downstream of the underground river, Lieutenant Cavado furrowed his brow tightly.

“For the metal skeleton to instantly kill Kasha… it could only be possible with the ‘Death Pulse.’ However, this death magic requires at least 3 seconds of preparation time. Although Kasha wasn’t in her best state tonight, it wasn’t bad enough for her not to notice the movement of the metal skeleton preparing to cast ‘Death Pulse’… or rather, she was unable to detect the enemy casting.” Lieutenant Cavado’s pupils shrank a bit:

“…I get it… it might be the work of a self-destructing skeleton. Only such a treacherous thing could kill Kasha in a sneak attack.”

Lieutenant Cavado slapped the deformed steering wheel again:

“Damn it. These lingering bastards, why did they just happen to show up there when Kasha passed by the underground river?”

Lieutenant Cavado pressed the accelerator hard, wishing he could stomp through the floor of the carriage.

The steam locomotive let out a sharp whistle as it sped through the ruins.

After hurrying along the way, Lieutenant Cavado finally returned to the entrance of the underground tunnel.

The place was a desolate area, located to the northwest of the Korabo Legion Fortress, surrounded by ruins of broken pillars.

Lieutenant Cavado entered the underground tunnel, took a careful look at the tire marks on the ground, and found no unexpected traces.

He held his firearms, drank the Night Vision Potion, and ran wildly along the underground tunnel, soon reaching the tunnel’s end.

Kasha’s vehicle appeared before his eyes.

Lieutenant Cavado carefully checked the perimeter, and after confirming that there were no traps, he began to inspect the supplies in the vehicle.

Water, food, medicine, ammunition, rescue signal guns, topographic maps… Nothing in the vehicle was missing.

Lieutenant Cavado walked through the tunnel entrance to the underground river, immediately attracted by the leg bone on the rocky riverbank.

At the sight of the bone fragments, bee syrup bomb black smudges, scattered bullet heads and shell casings, and the trail of bone prints…

The scene of Kasha being attacked immediately flashed through Lieutenant Cavado’s mind!

A group of Undead Constructs ambushed Kasha on her inevitable path, launching a deadly attack as she stepped out of the underground tunnel.

Lieutenant Cavado found many pieces of flesh damaged by the explosive impact force in the cracks of the ground and walls, further confirming his speculation that Kasha was killed by a self-destructing skeleton.

Taking deep breaths of the damp underground river air, Lieutenant Cavado barely managed to suppress his inner rage.

Glimpsing a shadow in the corner, Cavado quickly noticed a military backpack torn apart by the explosive force.

He crouched down beside the backpack and pulled out a barrel-shaped route map from it, quietly breathing a sigh of relief.

Kasha was dead, that was irreversible.

But at the very least, the breakout route map had not been lost, as it also served to complete the task of assisting the Legion Fortress garrison in breaking out.

It’s a good thing that the brains of Skeleton Warriors never worked well, and they had no interest in anything other than living people.

Otherwise, the survival of the route map in this backpack might not have been guaranteed.

Lieutenant Cavado sighed for a moment.

He walked upstream along the underground river, carefully examining all the traces along the way, but he never saw Kasha’s corpse or the corpses of the four elite fighters.

Well, there was only one answer.

Lieutenant Cavado stopped walking, gazed at the underground river not far away, and looked at the surging river surface.

Those Undead Constructs not only ambushed Kasha and the four elite fighters with self-destructing skeletons but also threw their remains into the underground river.

Or perhaps, the skeletons used dark death-type magic to desecrate the corpses of Kasha and the others.

Either way, those Undead Constructs were dead meat!
