Isaac

The queen closed her eyes as she threw herself onto the bed. Fatigue floods in, and even though I succeeded because I couldn't see it in person, I didn't feel much. I thought I'd just have to retire quietly and control the rigors and watch the world go round, but things keep happening.

At that moment, the queen winked with her eyes closed. Poor Knette. I can see that you're trying to save Isaac somehow. But no matter what it takes, there was no way to save Isaac.

As a result, the Queen became anxious about Isaac's last blow to the ground, even though she enjoyed watching Knette go unnoticed.

This world is doomed if we approach the gates in an unpredictable way and throw away our nuclear weapons. It's an old world, where there's nuclear damage, but that's all it takes to get away from the queen's revenge.

That's why I told Knette and Libria the truth, which means to wake up. I didn't know if I was annoyed enough, but when I came out, I thought I'd find Isaac soon.

Tiric!

At that time, the queen opened her eyes to the sound of a small signal echoing from her arms, and carefully examined the tablet, it was a report of the recovery of damage from Gabelin.

While looking through the list of alleged property damage and recovery plans, and casualties caused by Isaac, the Queen raised her head from her bed with a solemn look to see if she had realized anything.

“Ha! Is this possible? ”

The Queen, who looked at the list in an unbelievable murmur, got in touch with Reisha as she stepped out of bed.

“Please come to the Situation Room. I found traces of Isaac. ”

In Lacha's message, the queen smiles and puts the tablet back in.

“Mr. Azizak, too. I almost fooled you. ”

When the queen showed up again in the situation room, the atmosphere was different from before. Awkward feelings, not fierce hostility. The queen smiles inside. This is why I have to like the xenogens more than Humans. Be honest with your feelings and only treat others truthfully.

“…… I found Isaac's last trace. ”

Knette, who looks overwhelmed, hesitates to look at the queen, noticing that she's been having second thoughts.

“Hehe. Look. If you decide, you'll find him soon, right? ”

The queen said, ignoring whether she didn't want to show emotional fluctuations.

“But the location found is strange. ”

“Hmm?"

As the queen tilted her head in Cnet's words, she enlarged the map to the central table.

“The last known sighting of Isaac was in the northern region of Iceland. The current due diligence team was dispatched because it had nothing to do with the route to Newport City. ”

“…… the north? ”

Knett frowns. The far north of the Empire. The last of humanity's reach. Beyond that is the land of the Gentiles, a land forbidden by mana storms.

“That's definitely weird. There must be nothing in the North. Is that a trick to shake the siege? ”

The queen immediately shakes her head, thinking about the possibility of sending troops after Isaac to attack the weakened perimeter. Impossible. Isaac turned the whole world against him. Near infinite human resources are aiming for Isaac's life. The reserves are full of garages.

Knette, Liberia, Leisha and Rizzley were thinking the same thing, but they didn't know why Isaac showed his tracks. I didn't know when he was on the same side because he was so much more than I could imagine, but after treating the enemy like this, I had to be sensitive to every move.

“But do you really have to come here? You set up New Port City to secure the gate. I just need to open the gate for a minute, so if you have the key, you can open it anywhere, right? ”

The queen shakes her head with a smile as she tilts her head and asks questions.

“That's not it. It will take time for the gate to open completely. And we can pinpoint the location even if the gate looks like it's going to open. There are no warnings about gates opening anywhere right now. ”

Livilla's expression stiffens.

“… what about the forbidden land? ”

“Hmm?"

After traveling through the forbidden land with Isaac, Libya was well aware of the gate's open externally, and knew what was at stake. The Queen's expression hardens with Libria's opinions.

“Clearly...... if we try to open the gate on the forbidden land, we won't be able to recognize it, but Isaac won't be able to get through the frontier's territory safely. ”

“In your opinion, all the warriors of Central are gathered here in Newport City. And aren't the Wolves one of the tribes who actively cooperated with you? I was responsible for this. I sent all the warriors in the tribe and the whole family stopped working. ”

According to Knett, the situation room is full of cold silence. If we send troops to patrol the territory as a means of atonement and the rest of the tribes stay in their homes, most of the vast territory is empty. So if Isaac was headed for the forbidden land, there would be no witnesses. I didn't even think about the forbidden land.

"We can't use the aircraft, so we'll take the road and all eyes are focused on the road to Newport City, which is good enough. ”

“Obviously, that makes sense. throwing meaningless bait, not finding any trace of it, is all just a matter of time. ”

Rizzley and Leisha nod as if something had finally come loose, but Knet and Libria frowned even more.

“When did you discover Isaac's remains? ”

In Libria's question, Knet said with a firm expression.

“…… there is a catastrophe in Gabelin and it is the next day. At the time, eyewitness reports were pouring in from all over the place, so reports that were found irrelevant were pushed out of the investigation ranks. ”

“At that time, it's already time.... ”

Reyasa tilts her head as if she doesn't understand the contemplative attitude of Knette and Libria.

“Isn't that a big deal? What if you go into forbidden land? ”

“So how? ”

“Yes? I can't... use the airship." ”

Leisha hesitates as if she were asking something obvious about Libria. An airship is needed to pass through a mana storm surrounding the forbidden land.

And all traffic jams have been suspended by the no-mobile ordinance. All vehicles travelling without Central authorization were swarmed from Central immediately upon discovery.

“Ah! You could've had a plane waiting for you in front of the Mana storm! ”

She clapped her hands and shouted, and the queen smiled as if she was cute.

“Then disaster would have already begun. ”

“ ……. ”

Lillia nods as Lacha bows her head.

“It's uncertain information, but we can't wait to see it. Contact the Garrisoned Command……. ”

The Queen expressed her frustration when she asked to contact Central agents stationed in the forbidden lands of Libria.

“With the warlords of the nations annihilated, the Emperor has withdrawn all the agents from the forbidden lands to fill the void. There is no one on the forbidden land now. The fixed gate is open, so there's no reason to keep an eye on it. ”

“ ……. ”

Rizzley hesitates and opens his mouth as everyone grips their heads to see if the Queen's words are causing any trouble.

“Hey...... If Isaac heads to the forbidden land and sends troops now, can you make it in time?" ”

“Hmm… I see. I can't get through the Mana Storm by plane so I have to take the airship...... Even if I take the plane to the nearest Node, if I can't move from there to the airship and measure it, I'll be caught outside of the Mana Storm and turn around...... It's too hard. ”

“Isn't that a big deal? ”

The queen's words upset Reysha, and she said with a firm expression.

“That doesn't mean I can't stay put. As long as Isaac is likely to be there, we must confirm it. ”

“Sending in regular troops is meaningless. ”

Cnet grumbles at Libria's words. I sent a check, and if there's a real Isaac, it's that big of a deal. Only the common troops stand against Isaac.

“That's when you get there on time. ”

As Knette and Libya discuss the room seriously, Knett stares at the queen as she walks away.

“When Isaac opens the gate, not only will we fail, but your purpose as well. ”

The queen shrugs.

“I see. This is bad. ”

Rizli carefully raises her hands as Knet and Libria growl in that loathsome manner.

“There…… is one way. ”
