Kapitel 522: Entering the Pit

Deputy General Lin was well aware of the higher-ups' hidden agenda—they aimed to eliminate Su Ping and Qin Silong.

Qin Silong's temporary promotion to major general was a calculated move to boost his confidence and arrogance. Despite being assigned 10,000 troops, in reality, only 5,000 were combat-ready. The objective was to set Qin Silong against a rebellious organization boasting 15,000 members.

Though holding a higher official position as deputy general, Deputy General Lin's age and physical limitations made it challenging to navigate mountainous terrain and lead troops into battle. His primary purpose in participating was to undermine others while taking advantage of the potential for battle achievements.

Deputy General Lin hoped Qin Silong would be fortunate enough to breach the entrance and castle, securing military credits. Then, during an unguarded moment, he planned to arrange for someone to eliminate Qin Silong and Su Ping.
