I, who was eager to retire, became an Imperial General.

Chapter 107 Hassan Daryl

John truly never expected that the lie he had casually made up would come true once again.

Developing spies within the Allied forces?
And they even used Allied personnel?

If this matter were to reach the ears of that one-eyed hunter, Olco, given his ruthless nature, I might become the top of the Allied Special Operations Department's kill list.

At that point, let alone wanting to retire, even if he stayed in the fortress guarded by countless soldiers all day, he probably wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep.

Damn it, he just wanted to use Will to test Roxie's reaction so he could determine if he had become Roxie's target.

How did it end up like Infernal Affairs?
This shouldn't be happening! What went wrong? Damn it!

John was filled with despair. He was already upset enough that he was being targeted by Wolf for no reason.

If he were to be targeted by that ruthless old man Olco again, he couldn't even imagine what kind of troublesome life awaited him.

So, I might as well strike first and kill that old man, Alco!
To avoid the other party becoming enraged and sending someone to assassinate him.

That should solve the problem at its root, right?
John racked his brains, but after careful consideration...

He decisively abandoned the idea of ​​sending his complete stranger, Hassan, to his death.

Although he didn't know Hassan's specific combat abilities, he was well aware of Olko's strength; the opponent was definitely not someone an ordinary mage could easily fool.

Moreover, the guards surrounding the other side are all top-notch experts. Let alone Hassan being an unknown nobody, even if Leia went, she probably wouldn't be able to get the better of those top-tier Allied Mage guards.

An agent's life is also a life; why make things difficult for them?

What's more, they were dragged into this mess because of me.

While killing Olko is a good idea, we have to consider the practicalities.

Moreover, if the enemy dies, the Allied Special Operations Division might not be able to be established, which would disrupt the game's storyline.

One's only ability to foresee the plot will also become completely ineffective.

Whether you can survive at that time will really depend entirely on your individual abilities.

The difficulty level is practically hellish, and just thinking about it makes John's scalp tingle.

After some thought, John decided that he should remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

After all, didn't Will initially mistakenly believe he had such a mysterious agent? Now that Jet has actually found such an unlucky guy and made contact with him, so far there haven't been any unexpected situations.

This proves that Will was not killed, and also confirms that the person who ambushed him last time was not Roxie.

Therefore, there is only one answer:
"So, the assassination plan last time was orchestrated by Olko? If that's the case, it makes sense!"

After figuring out who was behind the assassination attempt on him, John felt somewhat annoyed but mostly relieved.

He really didn't want to clash with Roxie, after all, Roxie's title of Supreme Commander wasn't for nothing.

For a commander who is extremely skilled in guerrilla warfare and blitzkrieg, and whose combat style is unpredictable, it would be a lie to say he is not afraid.

Unless he planted a spy within Roxie's forces who could obtain crucial intelligence, things would be different once he confronted the enemy head-on...

Ok?
wait?

If I remember correctly, Will is one of Roxie's men?

So, there are already spies?!
John's expression became incredibly interesting when he suddenly realized that he had inadvertently completed the plan several steps ahead of schedule.

……

Meanwhile, in Corneau, the capital of the Kingdom of Victoria.

Inside the Allied military headquarters, he looked at the order in his hand appointing him as the commander of the newly formed independent battalion of the Fifth Army.

Colonel Will fell silent for a long time before coming to his senses and thanking the political officer in front of him.

He then walked slowly out of the government office amidst the envious or disdainful gazes of the crowd, and boarded a car arranged by the military to head towards his residence.

In the back seat, Will's face was filled with complex emotions as he looked at the contents of the new transfer order in his hand.

He never expected that after failing his sniping mission, losing an arm, and being far less capable than before, he would be in such a predicament.

Lieutenant General Roxie did not blame him for the mission failure or demote him. Instead, he disregarded past grievances and directly assigned him to the enemy's subordinate units, promoting him from an ordinary officer to a member of the Fifth Army's elite forces.

If Will had received this appointment before, he would have been so happy he'd be laughing in his sleep.

But the thought of his current identity as an imperial spy filled him with unprecedented shame and bitterness.

He even had suicidal thoughts.

But he also understood that if he actually did that, it would inevitably arouse suspicion in the Allied military affairs department, which would then send someone to investigate the specific situation.

If his identity as an imperial spy is discovered, the Hoffman family will be completely finished.

What's more, that man John Maslow had also assigned a highly secretive agent to monitor him.

Although he never saw the other person's figure from beginning to end, he could always find traces and a little information left by the other person in the bathroom, on the wall in the back alley of the bar where he was drowning his sorrows, or even on the back seat of the car.

This discovery completely dispelled his initial doubts.

At the same time, he became increasingly horrified by the horrors of John Maslow.

They managed to infiltrate the Allied forces without a sound, and did so with such secrecy.

All I can say is, he truly lives up to his reputation as that man.

Under his wisdom, which even Lieutenant General Roxie, hailed as the morning star, could not defeat.

He was just an ordinary person, and now he is even disabled.

Is there really a way to break free from the other person's control?
Will was filled with confusion. He looked at the transfer order in his hand, his eyes flashing with struggle.

But in the end, he sighed and opened the car door to walk towards his residence.

Now the Fifth Army Corps is about to embark on a warship to Faoken Bay, and he, who has become the commander of the Fifth Army Corps' independent battalion, will also set off with the main force.

He needs to pack his things and rejoin the main force as soon as possible.

"Squeak!"

However, just as Will was packing his luggage, he heard the sound of the door being slowly pushed open, and he immediately turned around in confusion to look back.

He discovered that the person who came was none other than Hassan Gillis, a high-ranking intelligence officer whom he had just encountered while picking up documents at the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Based solely on his outstanding performance in intelligence analysis, the opponent was promoted to lieutenant colonel by General Orko at the age of 23 and appointed as the leader of the 3rd intelligence group.

Although his military rank was one level lower than his, the other party wielded terrifying power. Even he had to respectfully address him as "team leader" when they met.

Moreover, given the speed at which the other party is advancing, there is a very high probability that they will become a lieutenant general, or even a general, by the age of 30.

It can be said to be the most prominent entity in the Central Intelligence Agency of the Kingdom of Victoria at present.

Will naturally wouldn't dare to mess with someone who was both capable and favored by his boss.

However, in Will's memory, he didn't seem to have much interaction with this important person. Why would the other party suddenly find him?
Just as Will was filled with extreme doubt, the words spoken by the other person the next second instantly made his pupils shrink to their limit:

"Colonel Will Hoffman, I hope you don't mind my abrupt visit. Also, I'd like to know if you still remember the information I left you before?"

Hassan smiled as he looked at Will, whose expression had suddenly changed.

As if confirming from the other person's expression that he hadn't mistaken them for someone else, Hassan's lips slowly curved into a smile.

He then bowed respectfully to the other person with his hand on his chest in an imperial gesture, and then, meeting the other person's direct gaze, added in a calm tone:

"Speaking of which, this is our first meeting, so please allow me to introduce myself."

"My original name was Hassan Daryl, and my current identity is Hassan Gillis. I am the head of Group 3 of the Central Intelligence Department of the Kingdom of Victoria. I live at No. 53 Central Avenue in Corno. My hobby is reading."

"In addition, I also have a code name, 'Oriole,' which is also the contact person the Empire assigned to you in Project Zero."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you'll take good care of me."
