Arms dealer in another world

220 Pure Sacrifice,

Or suicide squad one.

It was widely known that the Empire was studying how to deal with new weapons.

The Empire did not conceal the facts of the study itself, but the information about the results or progress of the study was thoroughly controlled.

So thorough that they sent spies from both the Anti-Imperial Alliance and Crimson Rose couldn't get any more information. It's just...

I could only get information on the predictive level, which was not accurate either.

However, that kind of information was very helpful to the guard.

Even on a planet with far more advanced communication technologies than this world, inaccurate or incorrect information is emerging.

There's no need to be angry about similar things happening in a world far less technologically advanced than Earth.

It was more important to analyze and judge it than to obtain information, and it was my responsibility to protect it.

The Empire's most important information for its security was two.

Research on self-defense and new weapons.

Fortunately, there was nothing special about the movement that was aiming for security.

If you send a spy this way, the security guard knows and can catch it. Even the movements of the caring mirror iron mask now was not a big problem.

Now, the mirror iron mask is active at the border with the coalition forces, and I have also heard that the coalition forces sent an assassin to remove the mirror iron mask.

Anyway, it didn't pose a threat to security right now.

The problem was the Empire's ‘research on new weapons’.

It is impossible to follow the same method as long as the gunpowder manufacturing method is monopolized. Gunpowder manufacturing is a matter of formula after all.

How to combine what materials in what proportion. In all that process, it is precisely at the end of the highly computational process that proper gunpowder can be produced.

With a simple powder like black powder, the ability of the empire to make Wally will be enough to know the formula ratio. However, even the amount of ashless gunpowder was already too complex to compare with black gunpowder.

From the level of smokeless gunpowder, security has yet to teach anyone the perfect synthesis method. Because of this, the supply of gunpowder was always insufficient.

As long as we don't figure out how to make gunpowder, it won't be easy for the Empire to make bullets or bombs. I don't know what I can do with Black Gunpowder, but it's more difficult than that.

You can't follow the escort in the manner of escort. However, there is no law that cannot be followed another way.

There is magic in this world, and empires are rich in phosphorus ashes and funding. Even security.

Unexpected methods may emerge.

Because of this, the security forces have raised their voices on the Empire's ‘New Weapons Research’ side. Even if I owned it, it was the next area I cared about after operating an okay weapons factory.

After reviewing information on the Imperial side for a long time, Kyongho felt popular and looked up.

It was Cecilia who came in.

“We have a visitor. ”

“Who is it? ”

“Crimson Rose. ”

“Then I better get out of here. ”

Crimson Rose can't be in a guarded cave right now. Whether it's a weapons factory, a lack of red crystals, or in direct contact with Crimson Rose, bad things can happen.

The guard leaves his own office near the weapon factory and leaves the cave.

The outside of the cave used to be relatively quiet, but now the outside of the cave is also very noisy.

“Come on, today, all the work must be filled! ”

“If you slack off, I'll kick your ass! ”

Mercenaries and Dwarves Encourage the Workers

I heard a sound.

Workers worked in various physical labour without handcuffs or shackles. In the bay, there was an opinion that one should be handcuffed or shackled in case of escaping, but the guard was rejected.

Handcuffs and shackles can only make things less efficient. It was also the principle of security that you don't have to go too far this way if you don't have to go half the way there.

Instead, the workers nailed the problem in groups, or they would shackle it and whip it.

The ‘carrots and whips’ of this security have worked so well that workers have not caused a big problem yet. Occasionally, they had a problem that they did not fight or fill their workload, but it was a problem that could be solved by lighter penalties.

Do not treat the workers too harshly unless they resist.

Mercenaries and Dwarves were loyal to the command of this escort. I did not encourage work while monitoring the workers, or even abuse them to lay waste to them.

In a noisy atmosphere, the guard nods, making sure things are still going well.

It wasn't until I passed the labour area and the mercenaries' settlement that I met the envoy from Crimson Rose. Apostle Crimson Rose was waiting at the outermost guard post in all of the districts.

“Welcome. ”

The guard said hello first, not death. The Apostle also rides in humility, not being the ruler of many districts that would not be passed over even if he called them little kingdoms.

“Nice to meet you.”

“You're from Crimson Rose? ”

“Yes, I have received the order from the general.

C. ”

“What's the matter with you? ”

“He wants to discuss this topic.” The ambassador delivered the letter. He made an interesting look on his guard's face.

“Help me create a new unit to deal with the Empire... Has this been decided in Crimson Rose?" ”

“Yes, we've already made our decision. ”

“I don't think the Alliance would like this. ”

“It has nothing to do with you. You're Crimson Rose, not Allied.

He asks for your cooperation. ”

“Of course... I understand. I'll be on my way to Calais soon, so please tell me to discuss it there. ”

“Yes, then. ”

The messenger who received the guard's message retreated.

“It's the creation of a new unit. They don't look like regular mercenaries. ”

Lucas gives you a smile and a nod.

“That's exactly what I said. This is no ordinary army. ”

“What unit are you in? ”

“In my native sense... jihadist, or camikazee. ”

“Yes?”

“Self-destruct squad. ”

“Suicide squad..."? ”

“Yes."

Lucas and Cecilia understood the words "suicide squad."

Obviously, Crimson Rose has used similar tactics for a long time. However, the idea of organizing a new suicide squad meant one thing: wanting to discuss the matter with the security guard.

Armed with guns and bombs, more than before

You want to run a much more deadly suicide bomber.

This could not have been endorsed by the Alliance. Even if they fail, they are not the only ones evil enough to run something like a suicide bomber that guarantees 100% of their deaths.

Security also personally did not like suicide bombers. But I didn't want to go against it too much because I wanted to run it in Crimson Rose.

“In order to do business, there is a time to deal with those with ideas that cannot be agreed.

“Then, will you accept this offer? ”

“We need to figure out the situation and decide. I need to get to Kallas. Prepare for your trip."

“… Okay. ”

Lucas and Cecilia make travel arrangements, and the escort finds someone to leave the factory with.

The other part doesn't matter if the escort leaves. If there was even a possibility of being the only problem here, it was Barro workers. Prisoners and prisoners, not normal wage workers.

The workers are now well within their control, but they don't know when the situation will change. Then the guard called Gilbert and said,

“I have to go to Kallas for a while. ”

“So you're saying I should take care of this place? ”

“Yes. Workers should not be harsher than I was, but rather let them go and take care of it as it is now. Can you do that? ”

“Prolonged work can cause unexpected problems, but it is not a problem unless it is long term. ”

“I'll be back as soon as I can. Well, in the meantime, please take good care of him. ”

“Sure."

I expected this role from Gilbert anyway. From what I've seen so far, Gilbert was capable of something like this.

If anything went wrong, no one would fall apart right away. I'm also concerned about the Red Crystal Tribe and the management of the workers.

That way, the escort leaves the work around the cave to Gilbert and heads to Khalas.

On the way to Khalas, a few villages later, the guard realized one thing.

“The economic situation throughout the region is not good.

I think so. ”

It was the first word from the guard who was afraid to unpack at the town inn. Cecilia and Lucas saw the same landscape as the security guard.

“That's exactly what I said. ”

“I think the Alliance is trying to feed the people who can. ”

I couldn't see the abundance as I passed through several villages. It was more common for the villagers to starve to death in a poor atmosphere.

As responsible for regional management, he was not indifferent to the suffering of such residents in an anti-empire coalition.

Several times along the way, I've seen insurgent allies distribute rations to residents.

Most of the distributed residents were thankful, not cynical or complaining.

He had an attitude that he was hungry, but not complaining much about the anti-empire coalition that was doing its best.

Even in poverty, it is clear that the anti-Imperial coalition holds public opinion. However, the fact that the region is suffering from poverty itself was clearly a big question.

A few villages along the way.

It was an atmosphere of poverty. It was amazing that the inn for tourists like this one was run properly, too.

“Is this what the whole region of Lothia looks like? ”

“Of course. The Empire has sealed off the ‘land of the rebels’ thoroughly, so you won't be a commercial activist unless you're smuggling from the rest of the province.“ It will be difficult to feed the villagers alone in this region of Lothia. ”

Cecilia explained it well, so there was nothing for the security guard to explain. Thanks to you, the guard gave me time to think instead of words.

‘It's natural for poverty to arise as the war grows longer... but the Alliance won't think so. ’

Obviously, it's a problem not to think about public opinion as a whole. Great powers such as the United States and Russia have often struggled because they do not care enough about the local ethics of war.

It's not the only superpower and empire in this world, and it's a big problem if insurgent groups like the Alliance of Rebels don't care about the people.

Rather, what the security guard was concerned about was the excessive concern of the public mind in the Anti-Imperial Alliance. I'm a citizen of the people.

behaving in a manner that is hostile and reduces the purchase of weapons.

Reducing the purchase of weapons did not simply mean that the income of escorts decreased.

Imperial and defensive security, after all. If reducing the adoption of weapons and caring about public opinion is the way to fight the Empire, I was willing to take it.

The problem is that people care too much and lose the war by turning money and resources to them. From the security standpoint, there's nothing more stupid in the world.

How could the Alliance of the Rebels be so stupid?

Let's do it. We've been fighting the Empire for a long time, and we all know it.

However, 'good idealists’ often do unimaginable foolishness in a cruel battlefield. Even if the Alliance were such fools, it was a problem that they could not cut off the coffin system now.
