Arms dealer in another world

Stand Back From The Ashes 202 2

“I'd like to have a word with the chief. ”

“I agree. I'd love to meet the dwarf chieftain who made that great weapon. ”

The Anti-Imperial Alliance, Crimson Rose, also spoke as if it were a personal curiosity. But the security guard was not foolish enough to believe that. He approached Gellod, who had been in a difficult position, and kept his mouth shut.

It was obvious.

The guard has decided to refuse.

“The chief is in great shock right now. We'll let you know when we have a chance. ”

“Shouldn't you ask the chief yourself? ”

“Let's do that. ”

Soon, both the Alliance and Crimson Rose found Gelrod. Others, of course, saw the guard when Gelrod suggested that only the three of them wanted to talk without even guarding.

The guard couldn't say a word, so he didn't even nod. I just glanced at him.

However, a brief glance told me more than a few words.

If I contact Crimson Rose directly with the Anti-Imperial Alliance now, my relationship will be no fun.

Even though it was a gentle ‘threat’, it was no exaggeration.

Break relationships with security instead of having new relationships, or maintain existing relationships.

Gellord has made his decision.

“I can't right now. I'll see you next time. ”

Gelrod himself had no choice but to appear like this. Both organizations had no choice but to retreat, swallowing regret.

Two organizations retreated, and a guard told Gelrod.

“Well done, chief. ”

“Are you feeling better now? ”

“The more difficult the situation, the more important is mutual trust. ”

“I doubt you really care about trust. ”

“Agreed, any merchant on this continent

You won't value trust as much as I do. If the trust is broken, it will hurt greatly, and the person who broke it will be very angry. ”

“As soon as everyone regains their strength, I'll take the chief and all who survived to the weapons factory. ”

“Got it.”

This incident has cost me a lot of security. Especially when the whole village of the Red Crystal Tribe flew away, the business losses were enormous.

Even to compensate for that loss, the red that comes into his hands

I was unable to hand over the tribe of crystals to anyone. As I've done so far, I was planning to make sure that only myself was dealt with in a controlled manner.

The monopoly is the foundation of the escort business now.

In that sense, what worries me the most is not how the Alliance or Crimson Rose came about. They were controlled by security, just as they were controlled by Gellod of the Red Crystal.

The problem was the Empire, and the Mirror Iron Mask.

"The entire village has been handed over to the Empire, and no matter how devastated they may be,

I'm sure he'll get something. At worst……

There was a scenario I didn't want to imagine. The Empire was producing its own guns and bombs.

Of course, all important engineers and craftsmen evacuated immediately and destroyed production facilities as thoroughly as possible. Some dwarves have been captured alive in the Empire, but they're close to getting the Cup, I'd say.

However, he was somewhat concerned that information leakage was inevitable.

The Empire is a powerful force that dominates most of the continent. What to do with their people, their funding, etc.

I don't know.

It was a very caring thing, but I couldn't help it right away. I do not care about the manufacture of guns or bombs in the empire, but I hope nothing will happen.

The empire army that knew Natalia well trembled at her misfortunes.

I cleared the Red Crystal Tribe Maeul of rebellion against the Empire from the map, but I lost a lot of the dwarves who were already there. And we missed the arms dealer, who was the most important target of the operation.

“Isn't the mirror iron mask a piece of shit? ”

“Shh, what if you really have a mirror iron mask? ”

The Imperial Army, who was familiar with the notoriety of the Mirror Iron Mask, could not be feared. It was not a completely unsuccessful operation, but I was worried that fire would appear to them because they did not achieve complete success.

Mirror iron mask revealed itself with the concerns of all of them, Natalia ordered the officers to be summoned without paying attention to the anxious soldiers.

“Let's go back to their village. ”

“Yes?, Yes. I understand.”

Surprisingly, Natalia is particularly angry.

There was nothing, and it did not seem to explode soon. The officer sighs of relief, orders the soldiers to clear the scene, and then returns with Natalia to the Red Crystal Vice Village.

In return for rebelling against the Empire, Maul prospered, now it was only blood, corpses, and ashes.

Empire troop corpses have all been cleared out and there are sightings of Dwarf corpses, empty buildings, and broken debris being searched.

Natalia summoned the officer in charge of the town search.

“Do you have any income? ”

“Find some Dwarf wounded and lock them up.

I turned it on, and I'm collecting everything that looks usable. ”

“That's not enough. Collect everything from this village, whatever it is. It's a matter for scholars and alchemists to figure out unless it's useful and usable. ”

“I understand.”

After giving the order and exploring the town, Natalia heads for the forge.

It was twice as massive as a normal Dwarf town forge. The forge building was completely destroyed and collapsed, making it hard to even recognize its shape.

“Hey, be careful! ”

“It could collapse again! ”

Soldiers rush in to clear the debris and try to find something useful.

A forge that was smashed into pieces by a powerful explosion. It seemed hard to find anything to use, but it wasn't there.

“Is this from the forge? ”

“That's right.”

Most of them seem meaningless or hard to recognize right now. But some of them Natalia can recognize.

There was something there.

Natalia picks up an object made of yellow metal.

A small metal rod made of copper metal. One end is pointed, and the other end is flat and not made of one lump, but two parts are composed of one object.

Natalia knew about this item.

“That's what the traitors call a bullet. ”

Even Natalia has never seen a bullet so perfect. Self-inflicted,

Or I only saw what was embedded in the body of another Imperial Army.

There were only a few bullets left. It was once again fortunate to have been caught in the corner by such a violent explosion that you were not detached from the effects of the explosion.

Natalia hasn't taken her eyes off a full bullet for a long time.

If there was a guard here, he might have kindly explained that it is the most important bullet that God deals with, 7.62mm.

I couldn't hear such detailed explanations because there was no escort. Because of Natalia.

In his eyes, it appeared to be just one small lump of iron.

After examining the bullet for a long time, Natalia grins as she goes along.

“Funny thing. I can't believe this little lump of iron made me see so much Imperial blood. ”

After observing, Natalia lowers her bullet and looks around the town once.

The Arms Dealer is gone, but this town is exactly the same place as the one who made the weapons dealers. The place was completely destroyed, leaving only debris.

‘But if he's an arms dealer, he'll be a martyr. ’

Natalia learned a few things in her pursuit of the arms dealer. One of them was that he was as tenacious as he was weaponized.

If Natalia is relentlessly pursuing the arms dealer, he will probably relentlessly pursue her eternity.

In fact, the results of his analysis and analysis, however, were only one reason why he sold weapons to traitors.

His eternity.

Compared to how loyal the continent is to a unified empire and how insignificant this is,

Let's go.

It was amazing to think that way. One merchant who only thinks about Yeongdal made the situation worse, and made Natalia a ‘mirror iron mask'.

‘But if we catch him, we'll be rewarded for everything. And...

You see the dwarves attracted by Natalia. Tribe dwarves like Cecilia survived while offering mercy in the name of death.

“How far do they know? ”

Milan approaches and asks.

“We'll have to investigate that. One thing's for sure, these are the Dwarves who used to work with the arms dealers in this town. If you're not dead, everything will blow up, and there will be useful information. ”

“I suppose so. Though we haven't caught the arms dealer, this should do it." ”

Milan is now careful not to disturb his superior, Natalia. But I soon realized that Natalia wasn't in a bad mood.

“What are you going to do? ”

“We should report what we have done. ”

“You're not going after more arms dealers? ”

“Yes, I have learned from failing. There's no need to rush revenge. ”

With that in mind, Natalia takes care of everything and leaves town. As he watches the scene, Milan shakes his head.

“So... nothing's changed. ”

Milan recalled what he had heard from Lucia before he joined the Kelberus unit and came under Natalia.

‘Watch out for Natalia. ’

‘Yes, Mr. President, are you saying she's dangerous? ’

‘Yes, of course, it doesn't mean she'll be in league with the traitors. It won't suddenly be incompetent. The problem is that she no longer feels loyal to the Empire. ’

‘No way. ’

‘Obviously. Of course not against the Empire, but loyalty does not exist in her mind. He may think differently, but he is definitely wrong in my view. Only thing she has is revenge. Revenge on the weapon dealer. ’

‘Your Excellency, if so... you must remove her

You mean you need to do it? ’

‘I haven't decided what to do with her yet. Even though they were not loyal to the Empire, it was clear they would not walk the path of rebellion, and even though they were crazy about revenge, they were just as capable. I'm having a hard time getting rid of talent like that. ’

‘So you keep an eye on her. If you have any problems that you can't handle, come see me right away under any circumstances. I'll take full responsibility for any problems that occur in the process. ’

"I'll keep that in mind, Mr. President. ’

Lucia, Superintendent of Investigation, is working directly with Natalia.

I haven't met many. Nevertheless, when I think about it now, I was surprisingly able to understand the true nature of Italy. Maybe Natalia herself didn't realize it at all.

Now I have to let Natalia go. However, Milan knew the end of those who suspected, no, and were confident that Lucia was dangerous.

Purge.

It may be difficult for Natalia to avoid that fate. As soon as Lucia saw Natalia like that, it was already decided.
