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

Chapter 74 As long as I have no morals, the laws of the nobility have no effect on me.

"You bastard, you scoundrel!"

At this moment, Baron Micah was trembling with rage.

He never imagined that his son, who had never even dared to look him in the eye, would one day utter such rebellious words.

Although he knew that from the other party's perspective, this was the best choice for the family.

But understanding doesn't mean acceptance, especially for someone who prides himself on his intelligence. Dick's behavior is undoubtedly a damned betrayal!

Value, yes, value!
As long as he demonstrates his value, that damned John Maslow will surely spare his life because he can help him.

It's even possible that he could become the lord of Longyan Territory again!

Like a drowning man grasping at a last straw, Baron Micah's eyes widened suddenly, and he began to think of the useful intelligence he could currently provide to the Empire.

Forced by this life-or-death crisis, he quickly came up with a way to help himself escape death.

His breathing quickened, and he immediately shouted at the damned imperial female soldier:
"I have intelligence, I have classified information about the Allied forces, and I need to see John Maslow to report it in person!"

"Hmm? Classified information?"

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Wendy's eyes.

She never expected that old man Micah would say something like that.

However, considering that the other party was, after all, a scoundrel who had assassinated Warrant Officer John, if this guy were to use classified information as an excuse to escape, it would be a serious problem.

This will definitely cause a lot of trouble for Warrant Officer John afterwards.

As Warrant Officer John's most loyal follower, Sergeant Wendy would never allow this to happen.

So after a little thought, she decided against reporting it to Warrant Officer John.

He then turned to Micah with a blank expression and said coldly:

“I am Wendy Brown, the vice-captain of the Empire’s 14th Magic Mobile Squadron, the team’s ideological instructor, and also Warrant Officer John’s second-in-command. If you have any classified information, you can tell me directly. I will decide whether to grant you a chance to be released based on the value of the information you provide.”

Of course, there is absolutely no way I, a sergeant, would release you, you old bastard.

After all, helping one's superior resolve future problems is also a duty that a loyal soldier must fulfill.

Given Warrant Officer John's easily swayed nature, if I were to go back and praise him for his exceptional wisdom, Warrant Officer John would surely forgive me out of consideration for my loyalty.

But you old codger are different. You actually dared to plot against Warrant Officer John. If you weren't limited to dying only once, I, the Sergeant, would have let you experience what it's like to be shot every day!

Wendy sneered inwardly. Ever since she learned that Micah and the Allied forces were trying to assassinate Warrant Officer John, she had already sentenced him to death in her mind.

If it weren't for Warrant Officer John's strict prohibition, she would have shot that old bastard long ago; he wouldn't have lived this long.

Even if Dick hadn't voluntarily surrendered and provided information, she would have mercilessly slaughtered all the remnants of the Hardman family.

As for the so-called aristocratic laws, Wendy thought they were all utter nonsense.

Besides, although she wasn't born into the Empire, she was a member of the Brown family, a true descendant of the royal family of the Brown Kingdom.

It is a crime for a commoner to kill a nobleman, but if it were a royal descendant who killed a nobleman, then it would only be considered that she was immoral.

Therefore, the noble law can only bind moral nobles, but as long as Wendy is immoral, the noble law will have no effect on her!

"Wendy Brown? You, no, you, you are a descendant of the Brown royal family?"

Upon hearing the name, Baron Micah was immediately stunned, his eyes widening as he stared in disbelief at the Imperial female soldier before him.

It seems unbelievable that someone of royal lineage from a superpower would choose to become a lackey of an empire.

"What? Do I need to show you the coat of arms of a collateral branch of our family? Of course, considering your current status as a prisoner, even if I brought you the image of the coat of arms of a collateral branch of our family, you probably wouldn't have a chance to recognize it, would you?" "Besides, you're just a mere baron, and a defeated opponent of Warrant Officer John. Why would I, a sergeant, need to lie to a piece of trash like you?"

Wendy looked at Baron Micah with a cold smile. The confidence in her words and the 'majesty' in her expression made Baron Micah realize almost instantly that this female soldier of the Empire was no ordinary person.

A storm raged in my heart.

Although the number of collateral descendants of the Brown family has grown considerably over time.

But this does not mean that the family name has lost its value.

Especially given the current situation in the Kingdom of Brown where foreign powers control the government, it would be extremely valuable if someone were to preserve their family crest and produce evidence of their clear historical origins.

Then, once the right opportunity arises, this person will have the chance to ascend to that throne that countless people envy!
Yet this descendant of the prestigious Brown royal family did not attempt to claim that honor.

Instead, he willingly served as a lowly mage under John Maslow.

The meaning behind this is self-evident.

At that moment, Baron Micah realized something profound.

How incredibly foolish it was for me to join forces with the Allies to assassinate John Maslow.

But it's too late for regrets now.

What he needs to do now is prove his worth in order to earn a chance to live.

Thinking of this, Micah immediately stopped hesitating and respectfully told this 'Your Highness' the intelligence he possessed regarding the Allied forces:

"Your Highness, I know the identity of a secret agent planted by the Allied forces within the Empire. Furthermore, this agent is an officer in the Seventh Legion, where Lord John serves. In your opinion, is this intelligence worth my life?"

Allied secret agents?
Or is it from our Seventh Legion?
No wonder, that explains why the Allies knew about the Legion's supply lines. If there was a traitor within the organization, then everything would make sense!

Wendy suddenly realized, but on the surface she remained calm and said:

"That's interesting. Let's talk about the specific names. I promise I won't tell anyone."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Micah fell silent. For some reason, he had a vague feeling that this royal descendant harbored ill intentions towards him.

Moreover, this is the only negotiating condition he can currently offer.

No matter how much you respect the other party's name.

He would never reveal his greatest asset before receiving assurances from the other party.

Micah immediately pretended not to hear Wendy's question and fell silent.

"Hey, you bastard, I told you to say someone's name, can't you understand what I'm saying? Huh?"

Wendy was getting anxious. She felt as if the old man had seen through her plan, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and angry.

Just as she was considering whether to show the other party her dark skills so that this old geezer would experience the terrible price he would pay for resisting the great Sergeant Wendy.

With a series of footsteps, Mia, the communications soldier of the 14th squad, rushed in to her surprise, and immediately delivered news that made her eyes light up, but also caused Micah's eyes to widen instantly:

"Deputy Captain, headquarters just called to say that Colonel Jet has captured an Allied agent who was hiding within our Seventh Army Corps, and that the agent has already confessed."

"General Dormammu has personally ordered that there are traps in the town of Bahamut, and that Black Hawk Down is on its way to provide support. We are to immediately notify the captain to lead the troops to evacuate!"
