Episode 152

By the way, moving together with Lieutenant Eden would increase survival probability by at least 30 percent more.

“The Lieutenant is quite popular.”

“Everyone seems to have some misunderstanding.”

“Among the six who raised their hands, formal agents lower your hands.”

When Eden finished speaking, only two out of the six lowered their hands.

‘Four of them are trainees?’

Something feels cheap about this.

“The two who just lowered their hands and the two here in front will go with Lieutenant Paran Oclo.”

“Thank you!”

“We’ll work hard!”

The two chosen by Eden looked at me and raised their voices energetically.

“Well… yes. Let’s do our best together.”

The passion I lack.

It’s quite burdensome.

“You know what to do after we go in and split into two directions, right?”

“Yes, we’re looking for kidnapping victims, aren’t we.”

The flow and objectives of the operation are perfectly stored in my head.

“I’ll expect something from you again this time.”

“Expectations are a bit… I’ll work hard though. Since many people’s lives are at stake.”

“War also involves many people’s lives, so how about returning to the Intelligence Agency.”

“The work I’m currently handling in the Support Unit contributes more than me being in the Intelligence Agency.”

“That’s a wrong calculation.”

“It’s not wrong at all.”

We moved to the rear gate while having this pointless conversation.

Just like the main gate, one guard is watching over it.

Lieutenant Eden plans to approach and handle it directly.

‘The operation will probably take about 30 minutes to complete.’

Obviously, the shorter the better.

“It’s an honor to participate in the operation together!”

While I was leaning against a tree passing time, the two trainee agents who were supposed to move with me approached.

“Well… is it really something to call an honor. Please take care of me.”

“We’ll do our best not to be a burden!”

“We’ll work hard!”

Still overflowing with fighting spirit.

The future of the Intelligence Agency seems unnecessarily bright.

“But what are your names…”

“Ah, I’m Lieutenant Homeul!”

“I’m Lieutenant Karian! Sorry for not introducing ourselves first.”

“No problem. You two seem to know each other, are you classmates?”

“Yes! We’re both from the 131st class.”

‘What, that’s almost the same as me.’

Since Eden said my class number 130.5 should be considered as 130th class.

It’s only a one-class difference.

‘I really did get promoted quickly.’

As I was feeling this anew, one fact suddenly came to mind.

“If you’re 131st class, you know Lieutenant Aisa, right?”

“Yes, of course we know her.”

It would be strange if they didn’t know.

There were three graduates from the 131st class, and two of them are here now.

‘Does this mean I’ve met all of the 131st class?’

I could probably be a Training Camp instructor.

“Is she doing well? Is it hard to meet her?”

“No. I met her last week, and she was doing well.”

Lieutenant Karian told me about Lieutenant Aisa’s recent situation that I had been curious about.

“Last week? Then is she at the Western Front now?”

“Yes, everyone whose work has even slightly lower importance is coming to the Western Front, aren’t they. I heard Aisa is one of them.”

“Oh dear.”

It seems she couldn’t guard the honey pot and got dragged away.

‘Can’t be helped. And she might actually like it.’

Isn’t she someone who wants to achieve merit more than anyone?

She might have actually been waiting for the personnel order to the Western Front.

“Actually, the reason we applied for your team was because of something Aisa told us.”

“Huh…?”

Just when I was thinking it was fortunate that things were going well, incomprehensible words came from Karian’s mouth.

“That’s right. Aisa said there’s so much she could learn from you, Lieutenant, that she really wanted to work with you at least once.”

“I’ll observe and learn a lot this time!”

A completely unexpected reason for volunteering.

She wants to learn from me? What on earth is this about?

‘What, does she want to learn how to slack off?’

That’s about the only thing I could teach her.

“I haven’t known Aisa for very long, but you’re the only person she’s ever praised, Lieutenant.”

“That’s right. Please take good care of me.”

“Well… alright, let’s do our best.”

Well, I didn’t really have anything particular to say.

‘Aisa, just how much did you hype me up?’

It feels like she’s turned someone who plays neighborhood morning soccer into practically a European professional soccer player.

-Operation commence.

While I was feeling dizzy, Colonel Raint’s voice came through the communication device in my inner chest pocket.

“It’s starting. Let’s go.”

“Yes!!”

When we went to where Lieutenant Eden had been.

He was already approaching the rear gate.

‘His movements are damn fast.’

I hid in the bushes and watched Lieutenant Eden’s movements carefully.

Lieutenant Eden slowly heading toward the rear gate.

At first glance, he looked like an ordinary soldier with no weapons at all.

‘But he just went wearing a military uniform.’

If it were me, I would have worn clothes like someone out hiking, but he doesn’t seem to have any intention of hiding his identity.

‘Or maybe he thought a military uniform would actually be more natural.’

I’d have to ask him later to know his exact intention.

“He came out.”

“Indeed.”

As Lieutenant Karian, who was watching beside me, said, a guard walked out of the outpost building.

‘He has a rough face.’

He looks like he has some strength.

Of course, combat is ultimately about skill anyway.

He’s no match for Lieutenant Eden.

‘He’ll probably engage him to check if there are more people inside, then kill him.’

Maybe because I’ve gained some experience.

I could see how Lieutenant Eden would act.

“Oh, it looks like he’s trying to open the iron gate.”

The guard who had been talking with Eden put his hand on the iron gate…

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!!!!!!!

An ear-piercing alarm began blaring from the amplification magical device inside the factory.

-Discovered by enemies at the main gate!!! Enter and occupy as quickly as possible.

At the same time, Colonel Raint’s words came through the magical device.

It seemed there was trouble at the main gate.

‘Damn it.’

The operation went wrong from the start.

This doesn’t feel good.

“We’re entering immediately! Everyone follow me down!”

I gave the order almost reflexively and quickly approached Lieutenant Eden.

At the scene, Lieutenant Eden had dealt with the guard and was opening the gate.

“It didn’t look like the guy was going to open the gate for him, but how did he do it so quickly.”

I’m sure there was a locking mechanism, but Lieutenant Eden opened the gate without even climbing over the fence.

“If you can’t even open such a crude level of gate, how would you conduct operations? Stop with the useless chatter and report as soon as you spot targets.”

“Understood. Let’s go!”

“Yes!!”

I began rapidly searching the factory with the four people assigned to me.

The first place we entered was the factory building I had visited before.

When we went inside, dozens of people were working mechanically with vacant eyes.

“Who…”

While I was momentarily confused, a man with decent clothes and a face that showed signs of life approached me.

At first, doubt.

However, it didn’t take him long to figure out my identity.

“What… what, it wasn’t a false alarm.”

Swoosh!

Before the man could finish speaking.

Unable to control my emotions at the horrific scene, I swung my sword.

‘This fucking bastard.’

What the hell is this.

The faces of people bearing traces of beatings.

And clothes that were no different from rags.

No matter how little sense of justice I have, this is really not right.

“Uh… uhh? Could… could it be that you’ve come to rescue us?”

Those who hadn’t even looked at us when we first entered now opened their eyes wide and spoke to us as blood spurted.

“Yes, you’ve all suffered greatly.”

“Sob…! Finally.”

“Mother! Mother…! Waaah!”

“Oh God…!”

Thud!

People shedding tears and collapsing to the floor.

If I hadn’t felt that ominous feeling during my factory visit, their suffering would have continued.

Just imagining it gives me chills.

“First, everyone please calm down a bit. Do you know where the most people are gathered right now, besides here? Somewhere close.”

“Then it would be the dormitory.”

A man so thin his bones were visible answered my question.

“Could you guide us there?”

“Yes…!”

As the man hurriedly approached at my request, my expression unconsciously crumpled.

‘What the hell happened to his body…’

The traces of beatings became even clearer up close.

My gaze naturally turned to the manager who was bleeding and dying.

“He’ll die like that, but I’m letting him go too peacefully.”

I’d like to somehow keep him alive with hemostasis or something, but I don’t have that luxury right now.

“Could I… could I hit that bastard just once?”

“We don’t have time, so let’s postpone that for now.”

“Yes…”

“But feel free to do whatever you want with the others. It seems hopeless to keep that guy alive and take him anyway.”

As soon as I finished speaking, dozens of eyes changed frighteningly.

“Graaah!”

The guy who sensed the future that awaited him tried to move his body to struggle somehow.

But it only made things more painful.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, this way.”

Following the man for a short while, we were able to reach a building that appeared to be the dormitory.

The problem was…

“Don’t come any closer! Not if you don’t want to kill everyone in here!”

Three people presumed to be factory officials were shouting in front of the door, holding switches.

‘Damn, it’s come to this after all.’

The situation I was most worried about.

That’s probably a switch to detonate magic bombs.

‘They said they put magic bombs in every building.’

Information obtained by torturing the guy we caught with the security guards last time.

This is also why I killed the manager as soon as I entered the factory earlier.

“Lieutenant, what should we do?”

“Sigh, first report through the communication device.”

“Understood.”

I left the reporting to Lieutenant Karian and made eye contact with the manager bastards.

‘I wonder roughly how many are inside.’

From what I heard on the way, they work in two shifts to operate the factory 24 hours.

Since there are three factory buildings now, if I multiply that earlier number by 3.

At least 70 people.

‘This is dizzying.’

I feel like I’m going to lose my mind.
