Chapter 995: Chapter 609: Rite of the Fated Rival Advancement, Mutated Undead Treasury

"Fang Zhou, do many people know about Fan Tianzong’s death?"

"No, the news of Major General Fan Tianzong’s death hasn’t spread, only a few people know."

"Alright, after all, it’s not a glorious matter.

I really can’t understand why this Heart Stealer has targeted you, specifically transferring you from my First Combat Master to his Third Master for some exploration mission?"

Fang Zhou had some guesses in his heart, but he just shook his head.

Ning Danxin sneered and said, "Perhaps it’s because from the Sea City Military Academy to the Beast Fighting Legion to now joining the Dawn Legion, your performance has been too eye-catching all along.

Fortunately, the military has strictly kept your age, level, battle achievements, and other personal information confidential.

This Heart Stealer has no way to know your real records.

Perhaps he just thinks you’re a decent young mage who defeated the Shadow Demon Descendant Baron of the Blood Skull Suicide Squad.

That’s why he casually grouped you with Leng Feng, Zhuo Yue, and others, assigned a suicide mission, and wanted to use it to kill, to destroy our human professional talents.

If he knew you had awakened for only three years and had those truly glorious achievements, he might have chosen to expose himself and assassinate you instead."

Fang Zhou grinned at the corner of his mouth, but his heart was not frightened.

Now, possessing Silver Upper Rank strength and mastering various trump cards, he was no longer someone a random demon could easily assassinate.

However, Major General Ning Danxin’s guess was also very reasonable.

Speaking of which, this Heart Stealer’s exposure was indeed constraining.

Unable to see Fang Zhou’s detailed information, he originally thought he was just a powerful Undead Mage.

He selected a few other silver-level professionals with good potential to assemble a team and casually assigned a suicide mission.

This Heart Stealer probably thought success would be best, but failure would be harmless.

Unexpectedly, it became the fuse of his exposure, forcing him to commit suicide.

This made Fang Zhou even more alert in his heart.

The Abyssal Demon’s intent to annihilate me is relentless.

Before his strength reaches its peak and he eradicates this racial enemy of the Abyssal Demon, he must not become complacent and relax his vigilance.

At this moment, Major General Ning Danxin suddenly received some information, opened his personal terminal to look, then raised his eyebrows and smiled at Fang Zhou, "The subsequent actions of the General Staff have come out.

There will be a secret internal audit of mid to high level officers within the Dawn Legion.

A comprehensive check for any instances of treason, corruption, or mind control."

Fang Zhou was taken aback upon hearing this, somewhat perplexed, "The war is about to start, such a large action, is it not detrimental to the morale?"

Ning Danxin shook his head, holding a different opinion.

"Rest assured, the action won’t be big, the scope is strictly controlled.

The main reason is that this Heart Stealer’s infiltration truly exceeded the expectations of the General Staff and Intelligence Division.

Our Legion Commander General Zhao Jingyuan was furious.

It is indeed frightening.

If it weren’t for Fang Zhou discovering this plot, coupled with our frontline camp remaining in a state of information silence.

The Heart Stealer who murdered Major General Fan Tianzong, would probably report our crucial information about possibly bypassing the Demon Crocodile Swamp of the Hell Pit Fortress to the Count of Naples within the fortress.

If the other side were prepared, it would cause huge trouble for our subsequent attack, leading to countless warrior sacrifices."

Fang Zhou nodded, his face becoming somewhat serious.

Intelligence warfare is truly crucial.

Knowing oneself and the enemy, ensures victory in every battle.

If there are still a few Heart Stealers lurking among the high-tier officer positions within the Dawn Legion, the impact on the subsequent battle plan would be immense.

From this perspective, the determination of the Dawn Legion General Staff to conduct a secret regime-wide overhaul is indeed necessary.

At this moment, Major General Ning Danxin asked again, "By the way, Fang Zhou.

Did you undergo the Soul Enemy Awakening Ceremony at the Sea City Military Academy?

Humans who pass through the Soul Enemy Awakening Ceremony will be marked with a soul steel seal against the Abyssal Demons, effectively countering the bizarre methods of the Heart Stealers.

Due to technological limitations and resource efficiency considerations, it initially was only conducted in batches for newly awakened professionals from your ten military academies.

However, after years of technological development, there has been a breakthrough in the Soul Enemy Awakening Ceremony recently.

As long as one is willing to expend vast resources, even mid to high-level professionals of Golden Level and Silver Level can awaken."

Fang Zhou nodded, pondering thoughtfully, "It seems that the General Staff plans to use the Soul Enemy Awakening Ceremony for loyalty audits this time.

Soul Enemy not only enhances the human professionals’ combat and defense capabilities against the Abyssal Demons but also indirectly adds a layer of soul defense for us.

It is indeed a powerful means of identifying demon spies."

Major General Ning Danxin nodded and said, "Unfortunately, the Soul Enemy Awakening Ceremony currently only affects professionals below the Golden Level.

And for Golden Level high-tier professionals, it requires vast resources to initiate the awakening.

As for professionals like me at the Glory Champion level, having already gathered the Champion’s Will and treaded the path of Law analysis.

Soul Enemy Awakening Ceremony has no effect on us.

Correspondingly, very few external forces can unknowingly control the psyche of us Glory Champions."
