In the end, Isa couldn’t stay with the convoy and could only watch the team carrying the Sin Soldiers leave.
“…Damn, bloody bad luck…”
Isa sounded unwilling, but could only bend down and move the rocks himself.
As he gritted his teeth and put all his strength into moving the rocks, a shadow shot out from the ruins and hit the back of his head with precision. Isa couldn’t even let out a scream before he fell to the ground.
“Isa, Ker… These must be the two soldiers’ names, right?”
Noland Lee walked out from the ruins, his gaze sweeping over Isa and Ker on the car.
He came to Isa’s side, checking his breath and pulse to confirm that he had only fainted.
He took out an elixir, poured it down Isa’s throat, then carried him and placed him in a crater he had dug in the ruins beforehand.
“The elixir I gave Isa will make him sleep for a whole day. I just need to pass through the narrow pass within a day.”
Noland Lee observed Isa’s physique and appearance, activated the “Disguise as a Living Corpse” technique, and changed into Isa’s appearance.
He chose between Isa and Ker and finally chose Isa as his disguise target because of their similar appearance and the same ice-blue pupil color.
Noland Lee threw a Deconstruction technique at Isa lying in the crater, consumed more than ten points of energy, and obtained his recent memories and partial panel information.
He digested Isa’s memories while cleaning the road.
Just as he thought everything would go according to plan, an unanticipated convoy drove up from the south road.
Noland Lee turned to look at the convoy, narrowed his eyes and scanned their vehicles.
“Strange. Why would there be a convoy at this time?”
Noland Lee observed the area for two days, combined with Kasha’s memories, and confirmed that the convoy passing here at 11 0’clock every night was the last convoy of the day.
That was when he set the trap and intercepted Isa and Ker’s steam locomotive.
But now, another convoy unexpectedly came towards the narrow pass.
Facing this sudden situation, Noland Lee was a bit nervous but still managed to calm his mind, without panicking.
He bent down and continued to move the rocks, devoting himself to playing the role of Isa.
About ten minutes later.
The convoy behind stopped nearby, and a Sergeant Major walked down from the leading vehicle and shouted at Noland Lee :
“Hey! Private Second Class! Yes, you, which convoy are you from, and what are you doing?
Noland Lee let go of the rock in his hand, clapped his hands to shake off the dust, and saluted:
“Reporting to you, Chief Officer. I am Isa. Guard of the Sin Soldier transport convoy of the Paramount Legion. My vehicle encountered a rockslide. I am clearing the road.”
As Noland Lee spoke, he also identified the origin of the approaching convoy.
It was a convoy from Division Intelligence Unit Two.
They must have come to the narrow pass for an emergency task and accidentally encountered him.
The Sergeant Major who questioned him looked Noland Lee up and down and enid•
“Why are you clearing the road alone? Where are the others?… What’s the matter with the guy in your car? Why isn’t he helping?”
The Sergeant Major walked to the side of the car, knocked on the door frame, and stared at Ker in the car.
He was showing the vigilance a member of Intelligence Unit Two should have.
Noland Lee’s face remained unchanged, and his mind calm:
“Reporting, Chief Officer. My convoy, which is carrying the Sin Soldiers, has already gone ahead to the narrow pass. My companion was hit by a rock and is currently unconscious.”
“Oh, he’s unconscious…” The Sergeant Major saw the bump on Ker’s forehead and nodded.
He turned around, went back to the Convoy, and called a few people over to help move the rocks.
Noland Lee saw this and knew that he had successfully fooled them.
Together with the soldiers from Unit Two, they cleared the rocks on the road. When it was time to start the engine of the steam locomotive, a small problem arose.
Noland Lee’s vehicle had been hit by a rock in the engine, and it had broken down.
Despite several attempts, the engine still wouldn’t start.
“This is funny now… Do I have to hitch a ride with Unit Two?”
Noland Lee complained to himself in his heart, but didn’t stop. He went over to the Sergeant Major, saluting and said:
“Reporting, Chief Officer. My vehicle has broken down. Could you please send some people to help me push the vehicle to the side of the road, and also relay a message to my convoy to pick up me and Ker?”
“There’s no need for that.” The Sergeant Major waved, calling his subordinates to help:
“You guys, go use ropes to tow that car.”
Faced with the enthusiastic soldiers from Unit Two, Noland Lee could only respond with an awkward but polite smile.
Wow-
Would he, a fake, actually be able to follow Unit Two’s people into the narrow pass?
It’s thrilling just thinking about it….
