Episode 84

“Ugh.”

Five people – more than expected.

Lieutenant Aisa drew her sword from her waist and prepared for battle.

“If you want to save your life, don’t resist. You’re a noble lady, so if your family cooperates well, you’ll be able to return alive.”

“Shut up.”

She disliked the direction of demanding marriage, but that didn’t mean she had no affection for her family.

‘Rather than becoming a hostage and being a burden, it’s better to just die.’

And if she was going to die, at least reducing the enemy’s numbers by even one person would be a somewhat useful death.

‘If I’m going to kill someone here, the most valuable target would be.’

It didn’t take long deliberation to choose a target.

The person presumed to be the highest-ranking officer was within her sight.

“Haat!”

Aisa rushed toward the man standing next to Sergeant Jeren without any hesitation.

Clang!

A strike with everything on the line.

But unfortunately, the man wasn’t standing alone.

“Deputy Company Commander, this will just tire us both out.”

Sergeant Jeren easily blocked the attack.

As long as he was guarding the front, dealing with the man was virtually impossible.

“Since when did you turn to the enemy?”

“It’s been a while.”

“How did this happen?”

Aisa couldn’t think of any reason why he, who had been serving properly in the 7th Division, would defect to the Adits Empire.

“You asked why I did it? Hah! Obviously it’s to get revenge on you nobles who look down on soldiers, what else could it be?”

“What… what did you say?”

Aisa’s voice trembled at a reason she had never even considered.

“When a father witnesses his daughter being severely bullied just because she’s a commoner and a soldier’s child, how could he just stand by?”

From Sergeant Jeren’s story, Aisa could quickly understand what he was talking about.

She had also attended the academy and had seen countless noble groups ostracizing commoners.

“Then you should have reported it or…”

“You really don’t know how the world works. Do you think it would work if a commoner reported nobles? It would be fortunate if an expulsion order didn’t come down.”

Since it wasn’t wrong, Aisa couldn’t argue back.

“Still, watching the Deputy Company Commander, I did learn that not all nobles are trash. But even so, seeing my daughter suffering from trauma, I can’t forgive them.”

“Sergeant Jeren, I understand your feelings, but this isn’t right. Do you think they would be any different?”

The Adits Empire was also a class society where nobles existed.

While it was said to be slightly more flexible than the Raikhan Empire, it was similar in the big picture.

“Whether they’re different or not isn’t important. What I want is only revenge.”

“I could help you with that too.”

At Lieutenant Aisa’s words, Sergeant Jeren showed a bitter smile.

“We’ve come too far. Deputy Company Commander, it would have been good if we had met a little earlier.”

Sergeant Jeren deflected her sword and swung his blade toward her legs.

Clang!

“Hng!”

Lieutenant Aisa barely managed to defend against the attack.

Unfortunately, the difference in skill was clear.

‘His strength is overwhelming.’

It wasn’t just strength.

Technique, experience, skill.

With even numbers against her, the probability of escape was 0 percent.

‘So this is where it ends.’

Bitterness and regret began to rise at the fact that she had to leave without being helpful.

‘I haven’t even fulfilled one-tenth of what I wanted to do.’

Still, she had no regrets about joining the Intelligence Agency.

The past few months had been the most enjoyable of her entire life.

‘If I get close and detonate the magic bomb, I can at least injure them.’

The magic bomb she carried in her inner chest pocket for emergencies.

With the enemy caught in complacency right now, this was her last resort.

‘I’ll… die, but this is actually better. This is better.’

How could one not be afraid in the face of death?

But Aisa gripped her sword tightly and made up her mind.

“We don’t have time, so subdue her quickly and finish this. If she keeps resisting, just kill her.”

“Understood.”

As Sergeant Jeren was about to move at the man’s command, Aisa stepped forward first.

If the distance between Sergeant Jeren and the man increased, she wouldn’t be able to inflict damage with the explosion.

“Haaaat!”

Clang!

Once again, her attack was blocked all too easily.

But this time, it didn’t end there.

“Farewell.”

Who was she saying goodbye to?

After Aisa spoke briefly, she reached into her chest.

“Wait… wait.”

The moment he realized the intent of her actions.

Sergeant Jeren tried to create distance, but it was already too late.

Aisa’s action was faster than his movement…

Swoosh!

“Huh…?”

Just as she was about to pull the safety pin, an unbelievable scene unfolded before her eyes.

“Ugh…”

A sharp blade that had pierced through Sergeant Jeren’s heart.

Blood spurted forward, staining Aisa’s face.

“Gah!”

Thud!

Without even knowing why or by whom he had been attacked.

Sergeant Jeren had lost his life.

“What is this.”

A situation that happened in just an instant.

Aisa was very confused, but there was someone even more confused than her.

“Intruder!!!”

The man turned his head toward the direction the dagger had come from, and there stood a man.

“A hit. More than that, to think you were hiding in a place like this. I had such a hard time finding you that I’m in a very bad mood right now, so please understand.”

A gentle voice and a leisurely atmosphere felt from his gait.

As soon as he confirmed that face, the man frowned and spoke.

“Eden…”

Such a short name.

But in Reconnaissance Command, that short name held special meaning.

“Oh, you know me?”

“How could I not? We lost ten comrades to your schemes in Caolan.”

“Caolan? That’s a city name I haven’t heard in a while. Was it five years ago?”

Eden retracing his memories.

During that time, the enemy was preparing to strike Eden, but he wasn’t interested.

“How fearless of you to enter this place alone. Your arrogance knows no bounds.”

The man drew and held the sword that had been in the dead Sergeant Jeren’s hand.

“There’s no way I came alone. I was just acting as bait to draw attention for a very brief moment.”

As soon as Eden finished speaking, a black figure dropped from the theater ceiling on a rope and whisked Aisa away from the middle of the enemy formation.

“Damn it, when did they…”

The man’s heart raced as he realized he’d fallen for Eden’s ploy.

‘At this rate… everything will get tangled up and ruined just like that time.’

The Caolan disaster from five years ago, when they fell into a trap set by the Intelligence Agency and lost several comrades.

Colonel Gervil, who had been in charge of operational planning at the time, still gets chills and loses sleep when he thinks about it.

“Since you seem to be a survivor of Caolan, let me tell you something – you were incredibly foolish back then. Did you really think the Emperor’s schedule was information that could be obtained so easily?”

The content of the trap set by the Intelligence Agency at the time was simple.

The Emperor would personally inspect the people’s livelihood in Caolan, the central city of Velburn Duchy.

Reconnaissance Command, upon hearing this, planned and attempted an assassination, and were captured in the act.

“Kill that bastard! Eliminate him first!”

“Yes!!”

As soon as the order was given, the waiting soldiers rushed toward Eden.

“This really isn’t very gentlemanly.”

Five soldiers rushing at Eden alone.

An ordinary person would have fled, but Eden…

“This is a bit much.”

Swoosh!

Eden dodged without a moment’s hesitation.

“I’m not some Special Forces operative, so isn’t it too much for five people to come at me together? I’m too scared to live like this.”

Eden’s expression showed he was fed up.

But that didn’t mean the Adits military would attack him one-on-one.

“Subdue him quickly! We can’t give that guy any time!”

Colonel Gervil shouted from behind, and Eden shook his head upon hearing this.

“You still have the same habit of sending your comrades to their deaths. Kill everyone except that guy.”

As soon as Eden finished speaking, the closed doors of the theater opened and over twenty troops entered the interior.

“Wait… wait a minute, how…”

“Major, we’ve destroyed and eliminated all seven locations identified as outposts in the surrounding area.”

“Finish this quickly and advance to the research lab.”

“Yes!!”

Combat began in earnest along with the response.

Naturally, it was only a matter of time before Reconnaissance Command, inferior in both numbers and quality, would be defeated.

*    *    *

Clang! Clang! Clang!

“What… what the hell is that sound?”

“Don’t tell me the enemies have already broken in?!”

“Damn it! We haven’t even finished packing everything yet.”

The intense sounds of battle reached the ears of the researchers who were preparing to evacuate underground.

“I’ll go up and check the situation, so everyone please stay calm.”

Captain Peto from Reconnaissance Command said this and headed toward a corner of the research lab.

“Robin, was it? Go up and check what’s happening above.”

“Me?”

Robin asked back as if he didn’t understand why he should be the one to do it.

Captain Peto frowned at this response.

“You should do what you’re told. Are you crazy?”

Captain Peto took a strong stance.

However, such behavior only increased the researchers’ distrust.

“Excuse me? Why don’t you want to go up yourself?”

“Are you in a position to be yelling right now? Without him, we would have been captured for sure.”

“If we die here, do you think the Duke will leave you alone?!”

The researchers’ mood grew heated.

The researchers of Abiel Ducal House were too high-ranking for a mere captain to treat carelessly.

“That’s… that’s not it, I need to maintain control of the situation here…”

“What control when you people ruined everything!”

“Secure our safety first! This is so frustrating I could die.”

As the researchers’ voices grew more heated, Captain Peto had no choice but to bend his attitude.

“I’ll… go and come back, so everyone please stay calm.”

Captain Peto finally started walking.

He glared at Robin once before going up from the research lab to check the situation.

And a few minutes later.

“Aaaahhhhh!!!”

Only a scream filled with pain reached Robin’s ears.

‘Tsk, the colonel must have talked.’

As expected, he wasn’t someone to be trusted.

“Damn it, what do we do now?”

“We’re all doomed. We shouldn’t have come to a place like this.”

It was natural for the researchers to panic in the worst-case scenario, and among them, Robin began to take action.

“It’s not over yet. First, where is the Director?”

“The Director is currently organizing materials in the research lab.”

“Wasting more time here would be foolish. Please bring the Director up. I’m going to set it on fire.”

“What…?”

For researchers, burning down the research lab was an action that was hard to accept.

“We can’t let the Empire’s achievements, earned through blood and sweat, fall into enemy hands.”

“That’s true, but…”

Seeing the hesitating researchers, Robin put force into his voice.

“There’s no time. Please move quickly.”

“Al… alright.”

“Go get the Director!”

Before they knew it, the atmosphere began moving under Robin’s leadership.

Without knowing what calculations were running through Robin’s mind right now.
