Isaac

“I even heard that the gate opens when the wind blows. Why does that matter? ”

Isaac asked, wondering if he really didn't know. He glanced at Isaac with a vague expression and quickly opened his mouth, flinching at Libria's cool eyes.

“Central can detect a unique reaction when a gate is opened. So if we confirm the response, we'll send a legitimate unit to the forbidden land to prepare for defense. ”

“But the wind blows without that reaction? ”

“Yes. And I've set up a flag to assess where the gates will open randomly after the last battle, as part of a border operation." ”

“The wind blows just before the gate opens, so there's a gate where the wind flows. ”

Wind is the movement of air. Determine the position of the gate by detecting the movement of air caused by the barometric vehicle when the gate is opened.

“Then why are we in this mess? ”

“That's because the troops here can't handle the expedition coming through the gate. ”

In Saints' words, Isaac looked at Saints with a look that he couldn't understand.

“Didn't you say garrison troops? Of course we have enough men to defend the gate. ”

Isaac asked, hesitating as if to explain, and bowing his head in shame at the young gaze.

“It was only recently that a garrison was established. It's not like we're done with the amnesty yet, but we don't have enough. ”

“You just made it? ”

“Yes, in fact, this is a gathering place and rear base for regular troops to be dispatched, an outpost that normally found gate open signs, and only residents for facility maintenance. Then, in the last Gate defense, particle Noxville was created because Commander Noxville insisted on a rear reinforcement unit for immediate combat as soon as the regular troops arrived at the Gate Open. However, he has a lot of difficulty recruiting, so he is not very supportive. ”

“Hmph, I thought I was wrong about the garrison, as I suspected. ”

He's talented enough to enter Central, but not everyone is just because he's a great guy. There are those who wield power on their backs and cheat.

How does Central deal with them? It's a waste of manpower to take care of those who are guilty, even if it's simple. The forbidden land is a world cut off from the outside, but there is no better place to put people, so there is no better place to put the left-handed.

But I think I misjudged Magellan because she said she was a garrison soldier and that she was also a commander, but I can understand what Saints said. If you're assigned to a place that doesn't have the balls to build, the Central community won't be happy to see you go through the motions.

Of course, those stationed here must be where the lowlifes are coming, no matter how they changed their names. So we're not gonna be able to get the right kind of sidecar.

Isaac, who was momentarily in reminiscence, said as he looked at Saints with a frowning gaze.

“But what did you do to get here? ”

“Yes?”

“Tell me, I know this place is deserted. I can take you if you want. ”

At Isaac's words, Saints glances at you and scowls, rubbing his palms.

“Heh heh. That's what I call an unfair case. ”

“That's what they all say. ”

“It has to do with Isaac. ”

“With me?"

“Yes. Heheheh heh. In fact, I managed the Central Fund that I had stored at the gambling parlor in Port City... ”

Isaac smiles at Saints' attitude, looking over Isaac's shoulder. It must be unfair. Of course it's not just about that. You'd have done enough to put your money in the gambling parlor, but you blew it up, and you'd have been robbed and thrown into places like this.

“Are you good with money? ”

In Isaac's question, Saints glances at you.

“Hehe. I was a money launderer in Central. ”

At that point, Isaac looked closely at Saints. If you can handle money laundering in Central, your skills are proven. They must have been dragged here because they were caught by their mischievous twists, but their status is fairly high even if they are part of a formally constructed staff. Then again, Codnell was overworked, wasn't he?

“Fine. You work for me. ”

“Are you sure?! ”

“I only have one person to take care of my money, but I have a lot of work to do. You'd be pretty handy. I don't care enough to eat properly, so work hard. ”

“I'll do my best to be loyal! ”

As soon as he falls to the ground, Saints shouts.

If we can get out of here, we can't do anything! And New Port City is a city of delight! A place to gamble and drink, with plenty of beautiful women at your feet! It really was a paradise for Saints.

Libria's eagerness to intervene is overwhelming, but she can't help but fade away.

“Then know that and guide me. ”

“Yes? Uh, where? ”

“I don't know. Where should I go? ”

Isaac considers several places for a moment and asks.

“Is there a gathering of plunder from the expedition? ”

“Yes, most of them cannot be removed, except for research purposes, so they are stored here. ”

“Good. Let's go check it out. ”

“Ha, but only the team leader can enter there, except for the person in charge. ”

“Really? Okay. Did you hear that?”

As I turn my head and speak, Libya asks, waiting.

“You want me to wait here? ”

“As you wish…. ”

Isaac, who was about to nod as if to do it himself, turns his head to the disgusting smell of the wind. You see the agents standing there, covered in vomit, unmoved, and ask Saints.

“Are you in the bathroom? ”

“It's obvious what the rookies look like, so the bathtub is well-stocked. ”

“You hear that?"

With Isaac's words, Libria nods and turns to face the agents.

“Follow the guidance of the deep-seated agents to their homes, wash and regroup. ”

Chuck!

Lillia's instructions answered with a unified salute, and Isaac spoke to Saints who were amazed at her appearance.

“Lead on.”

Isaac walks along the hallway of the castle with Liberia, looking around with a funny look. A light bulb that illuminated the complicated wires and hallways was emitting light at a constant interval.

“You're using electricity. ”

“Prohibited land is largely consumed by horseshoes and electricity is inevitable. ”

“How are we supposed to cope with resources that are limited? ”

“Then the expedition will recover and use the resources left behind. ”

“You can survive 10 years with that? ”

“Rather, it's too much of a problem. What are you throwing away? We're continuing to expand our warehouses. ”

Surprised by what Saints said, Isaac stops walking, and Saints looks at Isaac anxiously, wondering if he made a mistake.

“…… is there enough storage left? ”

“Yes. Is that so? ”

“Let's go there first. ”

“It's right next to where I was going anyway. ”

Libria blinks as Isaac's expression changes. She begins to pay more attention to Isaac. Saints tilts his head and guides the two of them, wondering why Isaac would do this.

The wind is blowing, and the agents next to the three of them are scrambling, but no one even looks at Libria to see if she's busy.

The warehouse area led by Saints was immediately visible as soon as he left the gate, but there were dozens of large warehouses growing, and he saw a plane unloading supplies far away.

“Huh? Where are the guards? ”

“... Did you even have a guard? ”

There are no fences, and the warehouse is not locked.

“Well, there are quite a few curious people approaching.... ”

Saints says as he looks around, he sees two agents running towards the castle and screams.

“Hey, hey! Where are you guys going? ”

“What are you doing, you fat fuck! ”

“You think you're just gonna sit around guarding the warehouse while the wind blows! Don't go wandering around. Fly your supplies! ”

The two of them blurted out at Saints, disappearing before they could catch up, and Isaac simply said to himself,

“That's fucked up.”

“Th-that's because the command system has not yet been established... …. ”

“Never mind. They're sloppy bastards. No wonder they get dirty. ”

“Left, left, left! Well, we are! ”

“Shut up, open it quickly. ”

Isaac cuts the horse and asks, and Saints looks at the number on the wall of the warehouse and opens the door of the warehouse.

“This is where the looted supplies are stored. ”

“ ……. ”

With the lights on inside the warehouse, Isaac had no choice but to smoke. This is way too much. Two football fields were filled with drums stacked high up to the top of the treadmill.

“Is that all? ”

In Isaac's question, Saints looked at the panels in front of the warehouse and said,

“No, all we have here is gasoline. kerosene is stored separately, but I think it's about the same amount. ”

“Are they all full? ”

“Yes, most of the garrison's horseshoes are being used to maintain storage. I heard things in this world can get a little messy. ”

“Preaching the Word. ”

“Yes?”

Isaac leans out of the warehouse, looking at the towering warehouses, not knowing what Isaac meant.

“Is this all the fuel you looted? ”

“No. There are... five fuel depots, and ten other raided enemy combat equipment, one for each of the soldiers' personal equipment, ammunition, food, etc., that the rest of the garrisons use." ”

In Saints' words, Isaac tilts his head. If you have captured this much fuel or food, you have built a wire through the gate to the rear guard responsible for supply. What the hell was this town doing until then?

“I don't really know how to defend the gate. ”

“Yes? What does that mean? ”

“No, that's why the gate is open. So how do we respond? ”

“Yes…… When the Regular Soldiers arrive, form an army and advance towards the open gate. ”

“How long until then? ”

“Yes?”

Isaac frowned and said irritably, "Is it because Saints is so stuffy?"

“That's why the gate opens and the battle begins in how long! ”

“There is a difference, but it usually takes a day or two after the gate opens. ”

“Why?”

“That's because the gate will be open and you won't be able to get near it for a day or two. ”

“No access"? ”
