Isaac

“Huff! What? You're having a paternal relationship now? When you signed with the Horsemen, didn't you give up everything? I mean, I wouldn't be so pissed off if I were you. ”

“Please... please. No, please, mercy. ”

“I'm afraid I can't do that. Can't you just wake Sophia up on campus and see her dead father's face? ”

“…… what? ”

At Isaac's words, Anton stares at Isaac dazed, forgetting the pain, and Isaac tugs at Sophia's limping head.

“Doll?”

“Hello. Help me. ”

Anton frowns as he hears the doll's voice echoing out loud.

“It's a camouflage doll for when you need a simple stunt in Central. Did you really think you were bringing Sofia? If she did, she wouldn't be so quiet. ”

Isaac's words weaken me. Isaac's right. We can't let Libya's cruelty lead to the abuse of innocent people. I should have realized that, but I didn't have the time to think about it because I was shaken by the death of my wife who wanted to spend her life together and the frenzy towards Isaac.

“And what about that? ”

“Oh, your wife? I thought Central was playing with the world. It's one of those tricks. Not all the footage you see is real. Did you really think that this body, a first-class knight from the College and owner of Newport City, would commit crimes against an innocent Imperial citizen? ”

“Heheh heh heh heh. You've been playing from start to finish? ”

“I never thought it would be so easy. I tried to take it to the next level with moderate stimulation, but this is the first step in the fishing line. I worked hard to get it ready, but I'm sorry it ended like this. ”

“…… what's the next step? ”

When Anton asked, Isaac smiled bitterly.

“Well? What is it? ”

Anton couldn't help but ask. Even though it was fake, I showed this cruelty to my family, but I didn't want to imagine what the next step would be.

“We don't have time. Let's get this over with. Where's the expedition? ”

“Hehehe. You think I'd say that? You have no way of threatening me now. ”

At Anton's ridicule, Isaac rubs off the cigarette he was smoking, bites a new cigarette in his mouth, and lights it on fire.

“I think you're mistaken. Did you think that if a bear cut off his arm and died alone, that would be the end of it? If the angry Northbears want to be angry, will they protect the families of the traitors who betrayed the empire until the empire has made a deal with the Horsemen, or are they willing to surrender? I couldn't stop that girl then. ”

“ ……. ”

Isaac's words shake Anton's eyes, and he quickly closes his eyes as if he had resigned.

“Promise to keep my family safe……. ”

Before Anton could finish, Isaac stepped on Anton's head.

“I keep thinking you're in no position to negotiate with me. You just have to hope for mercy. This is what I call a rash. Do you understand now? ”

Anton gives up everything in a hollow voice, trembling with humiliation on his head.

“When I make a deal with the Horses, I have one condition. If the assassination fails, instead of lending him the power he needs to kill Isaac, we draw him in and hold off as long as we can. ”

“Buy you some time? ”

“Yes. It was the Horsemen's terms that allowed the soldiers of other worlds time to fulfill their mission. ”

“Isaac, this! ”

Anton's confession frightens him. If what Anton says is true, that's the only thing he means. The Horsemen and the expedition held hands. Isaac takes his foot off his head and buries himself in the chair, frowning and aiming for Anton.

“What is the expedition's mission? ”

“I don't know yet. We've met before, but you were wary of us. I heard them talking to each other, but it was a language I had never heard before. And the man who appears to be their leader calls himself John Smith of the Navy Seal. ”

“Navy seal? That's a famous name. ”

A Navy seal who is a star in action films. Like in the movies, it may not be a hundredth of a man who kills dozens of people one-on-one, but it is still a special force with history and tradition. There are even internal allies at that level, so infiltrating and destroying the Storage Zone should be easy.

Isaac frowns. I feel like something is happening underneath my feet that I don't even know about is Smurfette, but I'm annoyed because I can't feel it.

“I told you everything I know. Kill him.”

I woke up from the thought of Anton's words.

“Hmm? Ah. I'm sorry. Take care of it. ”

Isaac gives the order, but the Elves and Northbears hesitate immediately. Isaac frowns slightly at his appearance, and Ranburton says.

“I can't kill you now. We need to get it to Central HQ first to see if it's true. ”

“Isn't that possible here? ”

At Isaac's question, Lancerton shakes his head.

“The Elves may judge the truth, but we cannot make this decision on our own. We need to do an intensive survey at Central HQ. ”

Isaac said that to Anton.

“You hear that? I'm afraid I have more time to breathe. Take her.”

Anton, whose limbs were cut off at Isaac's command, lies on a stretcher and is dragged away, tied to a rope. After disappearing, she told Anton to promise her family's safety, looking into Isaac's eyes.

“You really don't want to retaliate, do you? ”

“Who? Anton's family? Why are you bothering me when it's over? Better yet, bring in the former Central Agent. ”

Isaac instructs a few Northbears to enter the villa and escort Delcru out. His gaze is cooler than Anton, who contracted with the Horsemen.

“You used your family as bait. I have proof that Central is not wrong to put a man like you on the bench. ”

Delcru grinds his teeth, but it's not a worthy opponent for such cruise ships. Isaac sighs and sighs more deeply at Delcru, who is leaving confidently.

“Yes, it's all good. That's why it's so important and grand for you. But you solved the technology this time, right? If you knew how the world was going to turn out, what was your beef? ”

“That is the plot of the xenophobes. ”

“A conspiracy to advance the human civilization? ”

“The reason why the xenophiles have allowed the advancement of human civilization is because, like the world of the expedition, our civilization will become more dominant. ”

Isaac tilts his head.

“What are you talking about? But if he's in Central, do you know how much leverage that would bring? ”

In Isaac's question, Del Crewe looks to the xenogens, including Random.

“That's what they're after. The higher our civilization and our level, the more powerful the xenogens will be at our disposal in an instant. ”

“What's that power? ”

When Isaac asked, Jackson asked instead of answering.

“Do you know where to issue Imperial currency? ”

“That's right... silence.... ”

Immediately, Isaac's mouth shuts, and he glares at Lan Button, shaking his head in excitement as soon as he smiles and is bored.

“Oh, what a naive pretender. What a silly pretender. What a silly pretender. ”

The old world, this world, or human society are basically capitalist worlds. Money is power in a world where money rules everything.

However, if the foreign factions are holding the money, the higher the civilization level, the more they are holding the money, not the chains.

What if the Empire rebels? You don't have to fight. If you simply scatter money indefinitely and urge a nobleman to catch a suitable horse and be emperor, the empire will collapse on its own.

“It's not just that. The production rights of mineral resources, as well as food, medicines, and basic necessities are exclusive to the xenogens. ”

“This is how Rizzley talked about it. ”

If the distribution of logistics takes too long, even if the money is released too much in one place or not, the shock is that it can only be handled in that region.

However, in a time when logistics and distribution networks were spiderwebbed and primary supply through the distribution network was natural, the entire area would be devastated if the distribution network ceased.

Isaac rubs his temples for a moment and tells Lanverton that the headache is coming.

“You knew there were idiots in the Old World, right? ”

“Yes.”

“Why did you ignore it? ”

At Isaac's question, Lancerton shrugs.

“The Surveillance Bureau is not free enough to interfere with human hobbies. ”

“Hobby life! ”

Isaac kicks DelCrew in the jaw, screaming.

“You guys didn't even do your hobbies right. Banish the heterogeneity and create a human-led world? So it's natural for humans like you to hold hands? If you don't have a history of accidents because of the 7 days of disaster, you should check out the history of your favorite neighborhood over there. It's the same human world, you know how similar it is to living in it! ”

Boom! Boom!

Isaac's footing spills out. A broken nose and rough cough mixed with rainwater and pieces of teeth. Then Isaac picks up the chair and swings it toward Delcru, looking for something to swing around.

“Over thousands of years of history, how many countries have fallen for such a magnificent cause! How you bastards fed on a fallen nation of outsiders! How the people of the Fallen Country suffered! If you just took a little interest and looked at the history books, it would come out, but you didn't want to know, did you? No! Maybe you knew and you turned away. with confidence that we're different. ”

“Then I'll die. ”

After seeing Delcru, who was not moved or stunned by Isaac's ongoing violence, Ranburton cautiously dried up. Then Isaac paused the violence, took a deep breath, felt it, and asked him a cigarette.

“Hoo. I can't just kill you." You're trying to provoke me into committing suicide. He's secretly intelligent. You must be from the College. Wake him up. ”

I don't think so…… but when everyone gazes at you, muttering to themselves, he reaches out to DelCrewe, who is stunned, and forces his mind to awaken.

When Del Crewe wakes up with the groaning, ’Yikes!' he looks at Isaac and says, smoking cigarettes.

“Let me ask you one question. Seems to me like you're the only one in this group who's in charge. Have you met the Portees or Anton or the expedition and had some sort of tactical meeting? ”

I didn't have to wait for an answer. DelCrewe's wavering eyes gave him the answer.
