Isaac

Burning Newport City (1)

“I never thought I'd see this again. ”

The square was filled with tourists who were forcibly evicted from the Meta District. As if they were worried about the future, they were pressing down on the square that was once filled with laughter.

As I was smoking on the city hall roof, Codnell came to Isaac, looking down at the memory I didn't want to think about.

“We have completed the introduction of citizens in the Meta District. ”

“Can't you use this place? ”

“Yes, this is an order from the Administration to introduce ordinary citizens classified as direct combat zones. ”

“I can't help it. Spread out into the other three zones and put them in. ”

“Yes.”

As the codenels retreat on Isaac's orders, the Transter approaches.

“The Heavy Armor Knights, which were waiting in Port City, are on their way to build a Node at the same time as the Mercenaries' arrival in Meta Earth. ”

“That was quick.”

Calden approaches after the transmission's report.

“The construction of the defense line will be complete in two days. ”

“That's a surprise. I thought it was a close call. ”

“It's all thanks to the volunteer support of the citizens. ”

“You know, it's hard to meet someone better than me. ”

“...... Voluntary, thanks to the atmosphere that this is the last well-paid job." ”

The transformer puts his heart and soul on the path of self-indulgence. As the war was sure to be lost, there were even those who threw up Isaac who made the Prince uncomfortable enough to do so.

“Citizens know that no matter who owns Newport City, they will not get the reward they deserve today. Using that atmosphere to recruit reinforcements right now... ”

“What a waste of money. ”

After Isaac refuses to cut off Kalden's opinions, Codnel yells out in frustration.

“Money is the problem now! We have to stop them! ”

“What are you going to do if you stop it? It's bankrupt even if you win. ”

“So you're just going to let go? ”

“Suppose we get reinforcements. What about the money they pay to arm, feed, train? It's only a few days away and you're wasting your money. ”

“Then what the hell was that wall built for?! That's what the money's for! ”

Instead, all the roads leading into the theta district of the Meta District surrounded the Meta District by building thick walls and filling the interior of the building with various materials.

That's as far as Codnell goes. But Isaac didn't have enough, so he tore down all the buildings in front of the wall and built a barricade that was about 10 meters wide with the materials and furniture that came out. However, there was not enough money to surround the Meta Zone in a surrounding format, so it was a real money jerk to Danny Codnel to buy a ship that could buy it and even run smoothly and spend it as a barricade in pieces.

“It's not like you can take it away after you're dead. Let's spend as much money as we want before we die. ”

“If the barricades are thick and there are no troops to fend off, you'll have less than a day to make money! ”

“That's enough. ”

“Are you sure you don't want to tell me what the plan is? ”

“I don't need to know. When you're done with what you've been told, you're going to Port City. Don't get hit by a blind arrow without luck. ”

With Isaac's cold words, Solando appears to have disappeared without concealing his grief and waited.

“As expected, the Fulhammer mercenaries were engaged in looting as soon as they arrived. ”

“Rumor has it. Ready? ”

“I made the move myself with only reliable children. ”

“Well done. Now we're just waiting. ”

In Solandd's report, he nods and hesitates as he bites a cigarette.

“Why? Are you regretting it now? ”

“It's not like that. ”

“Then why are you so restless like a poop dog? ”

“No matter how closely the Elves and Northbears move, they will be exposed. ”

With Solandd's worried talk, Isaac grins.

“They say a commander who loses a war cannot be forgiven, but a commander who loses boundaries cannot be forgiven. ”

“Is there such a thing? That sounds like a nice thing to say. ”

“By the way, no matter how badly the commander tells you to stand guard, it's the terminal soldiers who stand guard." ”

“Officers can't do that. ”

“And the Marquis only joined the Knights. The elite of the Knights will not stand guard, and in the end the mercenaries will stand guard. Will you stand guard against a war so obvious as this, or will you suffer adequately? By now, they'll have found the money they've been laundering as bait. They'll have turned on the lights and been working on the loot. ”

“Won't the knights be patrolling? ”

“Blind spots happen there. If we tell them to be vigilant and not allow any military action until the day of the war, will they listen? If you have a more overwhelming power car to lose, and you tell the Elves and Northbears to be on their guard at all, you'll be frustrated if you find some money hidden away in Fort Shiro and tell them to stand guard when a pervert comes out. ”

“…… That's why I told you to leave the money alone. ”

“That way we can pass the blame on to our infamous Fulhammer mercenaries. ”

One of the most important things in conducting a war is collecting information. A proper commander would do his best to wage a war of obvious consequences, but unfortunately, the late writer, the commander of the Heavy Armored Knights, Dyke Duveron, was not like that.

“You're buying all the magic tools you can? I guess you still want to live. ”

The knights chuckle at Dyke's ridicule.

“Don't be careless. There's got to be some kind of plan. ”

With Anton's warning, Dyke looks at Anton with an unpleasant glance, drunk as a skunk.
