Arms dealer in another world

105 Failure Cost 1

Darkness rises in the blood-soaked desert.

The Imperial Army, which had been chasing the rebels since before the darkness began, realized one thing after the sun had risen completely.

I completely lost track of the traitors I was chasing. After the Darkness disappeared, I couldn't find any trace of it, so it was definitely useless to search again.

But it's also a complete waste of time.

You killed quite a few rebels with this battle, and many captives.

Even the Empire Army suffered casualties, but it was a huge success considering it had been helplessly defeated by insurgents armed with guns and bombs so far.

“That's a relief. ”

“It's a lot of damage, but I've got something. ”

Imperial executives have been exchanging stories among themselves. Without a sexual encounter on this expedition, Natalia, the General Manager, would have been in jeopardy as well as the executives.

Natalia, who was listening to this, did not react. You stand on top of a horse, wearing a mask that was dented by a bullet, and remain silent.

Knight Sean staggers toward Natalia like that. Wounded, but not serious, he was also involved in the search for the traitor.

“Natalia. ”

“Natalia? ”

“• • • Sean. ”

“That's right.”

I don't have an answer.

Shawn lets out a sigh of relief, worrying about whether it's not.

Natalia soon said.

“What happened to the traitors? What about the arms dealer? ”

“I haven't... caught it yet. ”

“I see.”

Natalia gives you an order, just for a few moments.

“Take all the captured alive. Treat their weapons as carefully as you can and take them back to Kallas. ”

“I understand.”

There seemed to be something more to say, but Natalia did not say any more. You see the warped body of Natalia on horseback in Shawn's eyes here.

“Natalia! ”

Shawn quickly takes Natalia and lies on the ground. When I looked closely in the bright place, I saw blood spilling all over my body.

It was not just the mask on the face where he was shot, but it was clear that he commanded too much with his wounded body.

“Oops, send Natalia! ”

That's how Natalia was transported to Kalas with her captives and the weapons she acquired.

Shawn shakes his head as he looks at Natalia.

“How angry you'll be when you wake up. ”

Shawn knew that Natalia's obsession with security had simply surpassed public standards. This was the perfect opportunity to catch the arms dealer, but I lost it.

Of course, the outcome of this expedition was never small. The traitors were also captured and their weapons were intact.

Critically, finding a way to deal with the insurgents' weapons was a huge success.

A traitor armed with guns and bombs.

In front of them, the Imperial Army was a leaf of wind, and based on this achievement, we may be able to devise strategies to deal with them professionally.

Except that all rebels, including arms dealers, could not be caught or killed, it was actually a commendable accomplishment.

The problem was that Natalia herself was unlikely to be convinced.

Natalia had to capture him for reassurance, or at least slit his throat, but now there's very little chance of that.

Natalia woke up and saw what would happen to her.

It was good. Given the peculiar nature of the rumored 'Mirror Iron Mask’, it may offend itself or other servants.

“Do I have to be prepared...?

Sean shakes his head and mutters.

The Alliance of the Anti-Imperium and the Crimson Rhodes have been on the move for a long time, avoiding the pursuit of the Imperial Army.

We had to move without hesitation until we knew for sure that the Empire would no longer be able to pursue us, or until we could find a safe place to stay.

Moved overnight, a long time after sunrise

The Allied forces on the move have reached their limit.

A dry oasis was seen in the eyes of such allies. The water was almost dry, and indeed only a few dead trees showed almost a trace.

When the Allied forces arrived in the oasis, they discussed it among themselves.

“Let's rest here. ”

“From here? Is it safe? ”

“A sandstorm blows over this area several times a day, erasing all traces of it. The Imperium won't even know where it is. Even if they do, there's very little chance of them coming here right away. ”

“I see. It's too much to march on anyway. ”

The Alliance and Crimson Rose both reached an agreement to take a short break.

The desert where the sun had already risen, the cold of the night began to rise like a lie.

I was rushing in, so I couldn't even prepare a tent or anything. It was only awkward to create a shade to avoid the sunlight.

At least there was some water and food left, so I was able to rest without hunger. If it weren't for that, I'd have had to drink nearly dry, rotten water.

Lehnda.

The wounded escort also decided to sit under the shade. Cecilia approaches that guard.

“Are you all right?”

The guard came here on a horse from the Imperial army Cecilia had captured. Without a horse, someone would have to carry it on their back, or it would have been discarded. I haven't been able to walk properly because of the scars on my thighs.

First, the escort is off the horse. My eyes frowned as soon as my feet touched the ground, even though I was lifted up and down.

When I examine the wound, there's more blood.

No. There was already a lot of blood, but it wasn't fatal. That was good, but it was not easy just to catch the distraction due to bleeding and wounds.

In fact, it was a good thing it ended this way.

There are many important blood vessels on the thighs. If it was cut properly, it could have died of excessive bleeding or at least been unconscious.

“I don't know if I should say lucky or bad. ”

Cecilia, who examined the guard's wounds, said.

“I think you should drink another healing potion first. ”

“I'll do that. ”

A healing potion is a miracle medicine that can heal a light wound almost instantly by drinking it. It turns out that healing potion not only heals wounds, but also restores health.

Of course, healing potions have limits. The guard's wound was not healing potion alone. However, restoring a little bit of wound and health was a necessary prescription in the current situation.

Healing on the way out of the Imperial Army

I wouldn't have been conscious until now if I hadn't drank a bottle of potion.

The guard drank another bottle of healing potion.

It didn't taste good. Some of the ingredients of the healing potion were said to have monster blood or animal blood, so it really tasted like blood.

However, I felt like emptying a bottle of healing potion and clearing my mind of your pain.

Not many injured soldiers drink healing potions around them, like security guards. Those who were seriously injured that did not go through the healing potion did not follow here.

As a result, the operation failed. It was not a lack of preparation, but it did not achieve the goal, and it was much more than expected.

As the atmosphere became heavier, someone came to the guard. It was a man who represented the United Nations.

“What happened? ”

“I didn't start with your request! But this is how I lost. How do you intend to lose this responsibility? ”

A man who was a representative of Crimson Roz, as well as the Union, came to greet the guard.

“The price for this failure will surely be paid. ”

In a cooler atmosphere, the silent escort slowly bows.

“I'm sorry, I'm responsible. ”

I felt pain from the wound just by bending at the waist, but the guard was patient and polite. Then the man on Crimson Rose shouted excitedly.

“Do you think baking will solve anything? ”

“I don't think so. I take full responsibility for my brother's behavior. ”

“Take responsibility. Easy for you to say! I came all the way here just to trust you. I don't know what this looks like. ”

“It would be a big mistake if you thought it would be solved with a few crooked words. Your life is not enough! ”

The expression of the guard, who was silent for a moment, suddenly calmed down. Crimson Rose, who was cool and aged on the anti-empire side, also noticed the atmosphere later.

It was only after I met the light of the guard's eyes that I looked at myself coldly. No one in this room has ever been more

Location ’.

Although the guard gives them respect, it does not mean the superiority of relationships, keeping business etiquette all the way.

Fairy Queen Sierra or Balegra cannot be confident that her position is clearly ahead of her current guard. How can there be more to say than just their subordinates?

The guard, who had just stood up in the middle of the silence, said quietly.

“Do you really want me to forgive you with my life? ”

“Th, well...

“Is that what you want? ”

“I take responsibility for admitting my big mistake. But taking on excessive responsibility is unacceptable. This was our joint operation, which means responsibility is divided. ”

“That said……;

“Is there anything else you want to say? ”

“Oh, no...

“That's all for now. ”

When he finished, the escort went into his shadow.

I returned. Although not as comfortable as a properly struck tent, it was much better than without shade under the desert that began to run.

Thanks to you, I was able to keep my guard up. I've silenced complaints from the anti-Imperial Union and Crimson Rose, but this is temporary.

As I explained, it was clear that the responsibility of the escort should also be the greatest, because the mission he led failed.

If the guards had overwhelmed the others, it wouldn't have been a big worry. Just as responsible as you might feel.

I could have lost or ignored it at all.

But now, the guards were never enough to ignore the Alliance or Crimson Rose. It was unlikely that a failed escort would end the relationship immediately and return to hostile relationships, but in the long run it would be a major scourge.

‘Am I in a hurry...?

Thinking about the challenges ahead, I started to regret them. As Cecilia said, the danger is great, so if you had stopped working thinking about it, it would have been better than now. Worth the risk.

This is the result of gambling because you think you are angry.

I didn't think it was reckless. Natalia took a risk and threw herself as bait. This is her big chance. to take the predictable risk.

But I failed in the end. Not only did I fail to do what was right in front of me, but the aftermath was not so great.

Some of the missing personnel and weapons were passed over to my country. It was obvious how the Empire would use it.

‘I can't help but admit I failed. ’

The guard who murmured bitterly inside raised his gaze to popularity. Cecilia and Lucas came to see me, leaving the guard alone for a moment.
