Episode 156

“Hiiek. Mmph!”

The scene of blood spurting out and necks falling like objects was naturally too gruesome for ordinary people to witness.

Several people tried to scream in horror, but they covered their own mouths and blocked the sounds.

“Good work. Now wait here.”

After patting Haren’s head once for fulfilling his role, I left the room and pressed my body against the wall.

‘If I throw from here… it should be manageable.’

This time, I didn’t need to assassinate as perfectly as I just did.

Just enough completeness that it wouldn’t be heard on the third floor or outside.

Compared to what I had just done, this could be considered much lower in difficulty.

“Whoo.”

I calmed my heart rate with deep breathing and gripped the dagger in my hand.

Slowly like that.

While I was taking aim.

“Damn, why isn’t this bastard coming?”

The guy seemed anxious and started walking toward my direction.

‘What, how thoughtful of him.’

The distance was closing while I stayed still.

Thud thud.

The distance became close enough that I could hear his footsteps.

The moment I felt confident I could hit him.

“Where…”

Swish! Thunk!

I stepped to the side and threw accurately at the guy’s neck.

“Urk!”

The attack hit and blood even spurted up, but

unfortunately it didn’t have enough power to kill instantly.

‘Tsk, how annoying.’

At least since I attacked his neck, the guy wouldn’t be able to scream.

Still, just in case, I drew my sword at maximum speed and rushed at him.

“Just die quietly.”

Thunk!

I slashed once more strongly at the neck where the dagger was embedded.

Thud.

The enemy died without even being able to scream.

Due to the messy handling, a large amount of blood was splattered on the floor.

“They said 20 minutes until the shift change earlier, so roughly 15 minutes left?”

Time wasn’t as generous as I thought.

“Tsk.”

Originally I was planning to move the corpse into the warehouse first, but I changed plans and immediately opened the warehouse door.

“There’s one more inside here… found it.”

Was things finally starting to go well?

As soon as I entered the warehouse, another door caught my eye.

‘It was probably hidden originally, but they must have moved it since they needed to check on it.’

I couldn’t be more grateful.

Creak.

When I pushed the quite stiff door with all my strength, it opened with a thunk, revealing a narrow space.

And inside it.

‘One, two, three… why are there so many?’

There were as many as three magic bombs large enough to be used in siege warfare.

“If magic bombs of this size exploded simultaneously… it would be enough to blow up the building.”

Just thinking about it was truly horrifying.

‘You guys really can’t be forgiven.’

Slash!

I swung the sword in my hand strongly and slashed the magic bomb in a straight line.

A sword mark cutting across the circuit.

Naturally, this would now prevent the magic bomb from fulfilling its role.

Crack crack crack crack! Crack crack crack crack!

After repeating the same action two more times to destroy all three magic bombs, I looked around the area.

“There shouldn’t be any more around here.”

Just in case, I carefully felt along the walls to see if there were any more doors.

‘Well, there doesn’t seem to be anything more on this side.’

If they hid this much to begin with, this should be the end of it.

If there were more, I’d really have to consider them a perverted psycho.

“What the hell is this!!! Everyone come out!!!”

A rough male voice could be heard from outside the warehouse.

“Looks like it’s already shift change time.”

Well, now it’s time to go out.

“Which bastard did this! If you don’t all want to die, confess right now!”

It sounded like he had brought all the hostages from the rooms out to the corridor and was interrogating them.

Bang!

Since it wasn’t worth listening to, I kicked open the warehouse door with my foot.

“It was me, you bastard! Got a problem with that?”

“Wh…what, how did you get in there.”

“I came in through the chimney. You were sleeping soundly.”

“Damn! Don’t tell me you were inside there.”

He seemed to be quick-witted.

The man’s judgment was fast.

“Die!”

A guy who swung his sword before even finishing what he was saying.

Unfortunately.

He was just at the level of a thug with a sword, so how could I lose to him.

Clang!

After lightly parrying his sword, I tripped him and knocked him to the ground.

“Your stance collapsed. Didn’t you learn the basics? First, let’s put down this hideous thing.”

Crack.

“Aaaahhh!!!”

When I firmly stepped on the guy’s right wrist with my foot, I heard the sound of bones breaking and the sword fell from his hand.

“Why do you carry around a sword you can’t even use properly. Is it a decoration?”

Since the condition of the people here wasn’t good enough to entrust this to someone else, I took care of it myself even though it was troublesome.

“I’ll be back soon, so stay put. Keep an eye on this guy. I need to take him and extract information, so don’t touch him unnecessarily.”

I wanted to say it was okay to beat him up a bit.

But usually when people start hitting someone out of anger, they lose control of their emotions and end up killing them.

Swish! Slice!

“Uaaahhh!”

Just in case, I cut his leg tendons and went down the staircase to the first floor.

“Calling us out in the evening and constantly trying useless negotiations, if you want to see tomorrow, bring a Dwarven Sword. If you don’t want to see something ugly.”

Bullshit coming from outside.

Hmm, looks like he wants to get hit with a Dwarven Sword.

“Just one day? You bastard, do you know how expensive a Dwarven Sword is…”

“If it’s that expensive, wouldn’t it be better to quickly bring Princess Rene?”

Step by step.

Since I was getting tired of listening to more bullshit, I came out of the main gate and approached one step at a time.

And it didn’t take long for them to notice me.

“What…what! Who the hell are you, come out of there!!!”

“Damn! Stop! If you take even one more step closer, I’ll press this!”

A threat made while holding a magic bomb switch.

I lightly ignored it and kept walking.

“That crazy bastard!!! Do you want to kill everyone?!!!”

The man turned his head and shouted toward Colonel Raint, but naturally he didn’t answer.

Two steps like that.

Three steps.

Before I knew it, I had gotten close enough for a sword to reach.

The moment had come when he had to make a decision.

“You crazy bastards! Fine, let’s all die!!! You brought this on yourselves!”

The man squeezed his eyes shut and gripped the switch tightly with his hand… and pressed it.

Click.

The heavy silence before what should have been a massive explosion.

Normally, a thunderous roar should have echoed here, but how could there be such a thing?

“Huh…?”

Thud!

I kicked hard at the abdomen of the guy who couldn’t come to his senses.

“Get down on the ground, you bastards!”

“What… what is this.”

The guy who still couldn’t grasp the situation even after his body was thrown to the ground.

Colonel Raint was faster in his judgment.

“Suppress them! Secure the hostages’ safety as top priority!”

“Yes!!!”

Now that their threatening weapon had been neutralized.

The operation was over.

* * *

“Your Majesty! Urgent news! Intelligence Command just reported that they’ve concluded the situation at the Cambodian Factory!”

The Emperor, who had been preparing to retire to his bedchamber, shot up from his seat as soon as he heard the news.

“Is that really true?!”

News that instantly drove away all sleepiness.

The Emperor looked at the chamberlain and asked again.

“Yes! It was just reported through Intelligence Command. All hostages survived, and they killed two of the gang and captured four alive.”

“So it wasn’t three after all.”

“Yes, there were apparently separate personnel assigned to surveillance inside.”

“So how did they resolve it? Did they talk them into it? Or did they induce division?”

Methods that could be used in situations where assassination wasn’t easy.

The chamberlain listened to the Emperor’s words, then moistened his tongue with saliva before speaking.

“Lieutenant Paran Oclo reportedly entered the building directly and destroyed the magic bombs.”

“Hmm…?”

What on earth could this story mean?

It took the Emperor quite some time to fully process the chamberlain’s words.

“He went inside and destroyed them?”

“Yes, General Calren said he would organize the detailed report and submit it directly.”

“I see, understood. This wasn’t the time to sleep. Prepare my clothes immediately.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The Emperor put down the nightclothes he had just put on, changed into his tight work uniform, and headed to his office.

And the officials began arriving one after another.

Their faces were gaunt from working overtime every single day since the incident began, but no one complained.

With the situation concluded, they could finally sleep peacefully starting tonight.

“According to the reports, everyone is safe except for a few with nutritional problems.”

“The captured ones.”

“They plan to escort them to the capital as soon as dawn breaks tomorrow.”

General Calren answered the Emperor’s questions based on what he had heard from Colonel Raint.

“Tell them it’s fine to be a bit late, but to stop at every city along the way.”

“Yes, I’ll relay that message.”

“As I said before, investigate this incident from beginning to end to ensure it never happens again. Especially the security guards.”

The Emperor’s gaze turned toward Baron Gaidon Kaphaison, commander of the Security Forces Command.

“I will work myself to the bone to ensure such an incident never occurs again.”

“When I heard this happened not in some ordinary domain, but in an Imperial direct-controlled city, you should know how much I suffered trying to contain my anger.”

“Yes…!”

The commander answered while breaking out in cold sweat, and fortunately, he wasn’t the only one getting beaten down.

“Supervision of buildings must also be properly conducted. If just a little attention had been paid, such a ridiculous building would never have been constructed. How sloppy must the supervision process have been…”

Detailed reprimands bursting forth as the situation concluded.

No one in the office right now could afford to smile.

“Everyone needs to get their act together. When the top is rotten, the bottom becomes a mess like this, doesn’t it? Don’t forget that today is the last time I’m just talking.”

“Yes…!! We’ll keep that in mind!!”

In fact, there were several people here who were lucky to still be alive.

And since they knew this fact themselves, they had no choice but to answer even more desperately.

“You said Lieutenant Paran Oclo was the one who resolved this?”

“Yes, Colonel Raint and a few others played decoy roles, but in terms of credit, it’s fair to say Lieutenant Paran Oclo did everything.”

“He went in and directly destroyed the magic bombs – did he know the location beforehand?”

“Well… he apparently went in without any information and found them.”

“What in the world.”

The Emperor showed a rarely seen expression of bewilderment at this story that was hard to believe by common sense.

“To be more specific, he discovered enemies guarding a warehouse during the process of scouting the interior.”

“He must have been suspicious.”

“Yes, so he killed those two and entered the warehouse to find the magic bombs there. Heaven truly helped us.”

It was simply a story like a miracle.

The Emperor opened his mouth in admiration, but his expression wasn’t entirely pleasant.
