Isaac

“The Administrative Office has authorized the acquisition of advancement Nodes for the Siege War, and orders you to evacuate the citizens of the Meta District and prepare for the Siege War. ”

According to Codnell, Isaac's expression is absurd.

“Siege Wars? Siege wars, not city walls? What could I possibly offer you in exchange for such a convenience? ”

The reason why governance is so frightening is that it can change the law, the rules of human society, to suit its taste.

The Meta Zone is home to a harbor facility connected to the lake where boats from the east, west and south dock and pour out sailors. This means that the military is the only area that can enter Newport City and that if it is well defended, it can stop a large military landing.

Therefore, giving up the Meta Earth openly means that I will support the Marquis and reduce the damage to his army as much as possible.

The desperate news was not the end of it. Solande on the rooftop with a pale complexion said in a trembling voice.

“The erl applied for a gamble in this territorial war and provided information on the power to be mobilized. ”

“Phew... You decided. ”

Now, Isaac shakes his hand as if he doesn't have the energy to be angry.

“Only the Heavy Armored Knights participate in the Grand Marquis. ”

“From the Marquis? What else could it be? It's over with just one Knight." ”

“I've hired a mercenary squad, and rumor has it the funds are coming from Port City. ”

“Tsk! This is why we have to clean up after ourselves. ”

Isaac regrets his appetite.

“What are the names of these mercenaries? ”

“A group of Fulhammer mercenaries in the east are currently en route by boat, though unknown. ”

“Wild Dogs of the Battlefield! ”

Rizzley is furious and cries out for Solandd's answer.

“Do you know them? ”

Isaac casts a glance and asks, Rizzley frowns as she looks.

“Famous scum in the mercenary industry. Famously, it's basic to search for the bodies of soldiers who died and take their belongings, and it's a crime to accuse them of betraying employers, murdering prisoners, pillaging civilians, or killing civilians who are rebellious. ”

Lizley frowns.

“Charges only? ”

“Yes. I've been accused a few times, but I've been exonerated. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Isaac puts a cigarette in his mouth and lights it on fire. If a mercenary were to escape on suspicion of insufficient evidence, it was obvious he had a rear guard.

A picture was drawn. War is money, a lot of it. Then there will be war merchants who specialize in munitions and those like the Fulhammer Mercenaries are very good at defeating them. It's no wonder Fort Sini chose the Fulhammer Mercenaries to supply the munitions.

“And…. ”

“Anything else? ”

Solando hesitates as if he's not finished speaking.

“The current gambling in Territory War between the Marquis and Newport City is 1.001 to 372 times the odds. ”

“A bitter result, of course. But?”

“Three remaining people in Fort City wagered a million gigabytes on their winnings in Newport City. ”

“ ……. ”

Solando said, "Isaac's down!" 'I thought first. Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, and gamble for a wager. There was a 1 in 10 million chance that Isaac would win.

“Wait! That's a bet of 3 million gigabytes! Shouldn't the odds be down? ”

Solande shakes his head, smiling bitterly at Calden's point.

“Two million gigabytes wagered on the Marquis' victory. ”

“I bet my entire fortune! ”

Investigating the size of the property owned by the signatory in Port City before collecting only the tickets was found to have more than 4 million cash drivers per person, which bore the people who did the research.

I admired the riches of the world's wealthiest men because there was no shortage of them, but I used all that money to bet.

“You said you'd pay me back for my entire fortune, and you did it literally? This is what happens when the back end is too clumsy. I'd say public friction was just a precaution. ”

When I think about how to solve this problem, the transmitter comes up to the roof.

“Where have you been? ”

“…… I just had a major announcement in Gabelin. ”

“A major announcement? ”

“Yes, despite my ineligibility, I am unable to acknowledge Isaac Rondat's college graduation for using the College's prestigious conduct and conduct to dishonor the College. As an honorary college graduate, we formally recommend that Isaac Rondath be removed from the College Committee. Kainen Rondat, the gunman. ”

“It means they got in where they wanted to eat me. ”

Isaac sighs, his arms clenched and his fingers twitching.

Earl Duveron, Earl Mills, Fort Shi, and even the Child Scouts suspected of treason. They were all after Newport City and Isaac.

“War... War……. I like making money from war, but I don't like doing it myself... ”

“ ……. ”

Isaac's mumbling makes people sigh, even if they are now immune.

“I want war. I can't help it. ”

“W, are you really going to go to war? ”

“I don't want to surrender. Is there any way? ”

“How can we go to war when there are no armies in Newport City?" ”

“You can't hire mercenaries, can you? ”

“No mercenary is crazy enough to die in a battle that is certain to lose. ”

“Isn't that right?"

“Yes!”

“Hehe. I can't help it. I didn't want to do this... ”

“Is there any way? ”

The transformer blinks and bites, but Isaac shakes his head.

“Even if I win, I can't afford to lose the same war. ”

“Then what are you going to do?! ”

“What should I do? We should bounce. ”

“Yes?”

Isaac's face is dazed.

“There's still time for war, so can't we just carry all our wealth in the meantime? ”

“You will be wanted all over the country for dividends on war bets. ”

“If you live in a mountain wall somewhere.... ”

“You'll be chased by bounty hunters your whole life. ”

“Right? War.... ”

After sighing for a negative comment, Isaac sat with his legs twisted, leaning at an angle, his chin bent with one hand, and his arms clasped with his fingers, and thought.

There are a number of causes to war, but Isaac thought he could divide the causes into two big ones.

Revenge and profit.

Earl Fort Shi and Duveron, Earl Mills and the Cadets. Fort Sight. Despite enough grudges, where are the others? What are the benefits of going to war? Well, winning is definitely a war, so it pays more than a loss.

Then what's in it for the Imperial Government? Laws are the basic rules of that society. Power to enforce sanctions if all must be kept and violated. Therefore, fairness that can be empathized with is built on the foundation.

However, the ruling from the Central Justice Office was explicitly supportive of the late Duveron. The territorial war between the city and the territory made no sense, but the erl raised his hand and eased the battle itself.

Here, Isaac was convinced that there was something he didn't know. After the term ends, the right to distribution will be handed over to the Imperial Government. I thought the Imperial Government was on Isaac's side as long as it could not wait that long.

What does the Marquis have to offer to be so kind as to stand in the way of such a government giving up its right to distribution and losing its fairness?

Isaac sighs and shakes his head. The information is too short. Now it was a matter of resolving the situation before us, but the way to choose is limited beyond the power of the government.

That's why I'm afraid of the power of the government. So, when Isaac tried to do something, he first decided that he could use the law by twisting it, and only then did he enter the practice and draw as much power as he could into the work as possible.

There is only one way to choose between laws made on the basis of fairness. Flipping the plates over.

Suddenly, I looked up and noticed that the practitioners were noticing in a dark atmosphere.

"Tsk! I can hear your eyes rolling. ’

No one wants to be on the losing side of a confirmed war. The dispatchers hesitated and opened their mouths to each other.

“Hey…… an order has come down from HQ. ”

“Withdraw before the war? ”

“…… Yes. ”

“I see. Well done. Do we still have a fortune? ”

“Hehe, thanks to you.... ”

“Good job. Go ahead. ”

“Yes? Now? ”

“Don't you think you should get out of here a day early? I can't wait to see what you look like. ”

The dispatchers looked at each other with expressions that expected betrayal and outrage from Isaac's very cool attitude.

Isaac smiles at him and says.

“Go tell the merchants. You're the one who broke the contract first. ”

In Isaac's heartfelt words, the dispatchers did not lift their heads. It's not a relationship built on trust anyway. There was no betrayal or sadness in leaving because this was a transactional relationship between us.

Rather, the rest of the people were more curious because they volunteered.

There should be only zoning chiefs, Rizley, and Ranburton left on the roof, but unexpectedly, Codnell and his followers are holding their ground, so Isaac tilts his head.

“Why aren't you going? ”

“Phew. What should I do?" He'll be called back. Who else is in charge of money in Newport City? Don't worry too much. There's still 10 million left in the visa fund, so I'm going to make a trade on that. ”

Cornell's grumbling and grumbling gives Isaac a mouthful of laughter and turns his gaze to his followers.

“Hahaha! I'm the kind of person who would do something like this! ”

Calden smiles like a four-year-old.

“I work as much as I get paid. ”

The transformer is clumsy.

“…… I don't want to go anywhere else. ”

Celia, a shy and reserved personality, didn't want to lose her perfect job like Newport City.

“I want to go, but I can't take it. ”

“If I leave now, I won't be able to get another job. ”

Isaac smiled and nodded, gazing back at his followers for their reasons.

“It doesn't matter because they don't kill people from campus. Codnell knows all about Newport City's assets, so he won't have to die. Since there won't be any guests anyway, you will immediately conduct an introduction to the citizens of the Meta District. ”

“What did you come up with? ”

Isaac shrugs as he asks.
