‘After going all the way to the capital… … .’
Ian was sitting in the carriage, writing something on a piece of paper.
The operation that was originally supposed to be carried out was effectively halted.
So, I had to find another way.
So I was thinking about writing down those methods on paper.
Then the space was distorted in front of him, and Rudy appeared in front of him.
“… … Rudy Astria?”
“Ah, you are right.”
“Why did you come all of a sudden? Would you have told me to stay there?”
“What are you doing when you are stuck in an empty lab?”
“Didn’t you tell me your plans?”
“Aren’t things going as planned?”
As Ian thought, this plan should have been completed in at least a day.
Talents at the top level have been caught and are being tortured, but where is the leader who stands still?
Aryandor surpassed Ian’s thoughts.
No, rather than jumping over it, Aryandor seemed incomprehensible.
It didn’t matter how deep and shallow his thoughts were, he seemed to have completely different thoughts.
This operation was based on Ian’s common sense.
There was no way that Aryandor, who was outside of common sense, could use it.
“The plan has already collapsed, and there seems to be no reason to be there. It’s been a while and I don’t think it’s going to work normally.”
Rudy was right.
I already knew that Aryandor was not normal.
However, there was no reason for Rudy to be there.
“Yes, you are right.”
Ian graciously admitted.
It was a mistake to think that I understood Aryandor.
Ian analyzed Aryandor’s behavior by receiving a lot of information during that time.
I thought I had figured out Aryandor, but that was arrogance.
Ian looked at Rudy in front of him.
Rudy I have seen as a family for a long time.
Even Rudy didn’t understand, but there was no way he could understand Aryandor, whom he had never met properly.
“Then what are you going to do now?”
“I keep thinking about it.”
That said, no major mistakes have been made yet.
Rather, I learned more about Aryandor through this small error.
Ian thought about such a mistake and tried to plan again.
Rudy nodded roughly and opened the window.
“By the way, where are you?”
“Did you come here without knowing where you were?”
“I looked around to see if it might be around here.”
“You came without a plan.”
Rudy shrugged her shoulders shamelessly.
Ian sighed and opened his mouth.
“It is the road from the eastern Pers to the capital. Now Penden Meadows will appear.”
As Ian said, the carriage moved a little and a large meadow appeared.
“Then are you planning to go straight to the capital?”
“For once it is. There is no need to delay.”
There was no need to stop and interrogate.
Ian’s purpose is to attract Aryandor.
From here to the vicinity of the capital, these grasslands continue to grow, so no one can come by surprise.
If Aryandor could not be brought in, there was no need to proceed with the interrogation.
“Still, it is not without results, so there is no problem.”
In fact, although Ian was thinking a lot, from the perspective of the Empire, it was as if he had already achieved great results.
It was because he had captured the leader of the rebels without a single wound.
Nevertheless, Ian was worried about many things in order to get the most benefit from this work.
Although they are working for the Imperial Army to catch rebels, Rudy and Ian are currently competing for the position of head of state.
There was no fierce fight with the leadership, and if it went smoothly in this way, the difference between the two could not be shown.
Ian wanted to get bigger results from his operation and show it to people.
I’m better than Rudy.
have more powers
That’s what I want to say though.
‘But you can’t twist things.’
If you really want to earn achievements here, you can move to the capital late and continue the interrogation.
Another option is not to go to the capital at all.
Still, he didn’t do that.
I was just thinking of the best way.
“Yeah, if nothing happens, we should be content with this.”
Ian nodded lightly.
At Ian’s attitude, Rudy put on a puzzled expression.
Ian narrowed his eyebrows and asked Rudy.
“What’s going on?”
“… … no.”
Rudy didn’t say anything and continued.
“Then I will return to the capital. It’s just evacuation anyway, so it’s no big deal.”
“Are you here to say that?”
“I just said it because it looked good when I saw the situation.”
Rudy was right.
There was no reason to keep Rudy here.
“Yeah, that would be nice. Call me if anything happens.”
“All right. Then I… … .”
click
It was a small sound.
Nevertheless, Rudy and Ian heard the sound accurately.
I felt emotionally dangerous.
Ian screamed quickly.
“Harm!!”
aan!!!!
Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded.
An explosion occurred right behind Ian and Rudy’s wagon.
The wagon they were riding in was swept away by the explosion.
“Ian!!”
The soldiers who were a little far away from the wagon were greatly astonished to see the explosion.
Although the fire from the explosion was not visible, it was certain that the carriage was engulfed in the explosion.
The soldiers rushed towards the explosion and tried to enter it.
“ah?”
Soldiers who came close to the location of the explosion stopped walking when they saw the person inside.
Raven stood in the flames.
Even in the fire, he looked fine.
The soldiers looked blankly at Raven, and then came to their senses.
It was because he saw a broken wagon in front of him.
“The commander… … Save me!”
The soldiers rushed to Raven.
Raven turned her head.
When the frontmost soldier made eye contact with Raven, his body stiffened.
A feeling of fear engulfs your body.
Even if it was just eye contact, goosebumps all over his body.
As the soldier was about to step back in fear, he moved towards the raven soldiers.
It was an instant.
Raven reached in front of the soldiers with great speed.
The soldiers neither reacted nor resisted.
Raven grabbed the neck of the nearest soldier.
“Ahhh!!”
I didn’t hold my neck tight.
To say that he did not hold him strong means that he did not break the soldier’s neck, not that he held him weakly.
The captured soldier screamed in pain and looked at Raven.
“this… … bloke… … .”
Raven looked at the soldier with a faint smile.
“Feel the same pain I felt.”
“Kek… …ね… … .”
The soldier’s face grew red as he was choking.
I tried my best, but to no avail.
I just struggled with my hands and feet and couldn’t resist.
Raven smiled and looked at the suffering soldier.
Then a single word rang out.
“Cutting space.”
A small gap opens on Raven’s arm.
“Well?”
There was a gap in the hand and shoulder area that was holding the soldier.
Raven’s arm was cut off as it was.
“Kek… … .”
The severed arm allowed the soldier to fall to the floor.
Raven stared blankly at the severed arm, then turned to the side where the voice had been heard.
Ian was there.
“… … What, are you okay?”
It didn’t feel like it was completely avoided.
There was a little bit of soot on his clothes, and he had some burns on his arm, but it wasn’t a big deal.
“Now why are you rebelling?”
“Do I have to answer?”
Ian narrowed his eyebrows.
Raven’s mood was different from before.
When we first met in the laboratory, it was just like a researcher.
He felt like an ordinary researcher who was clerical, with a bit of liveliness in his field.
There was no such atmosphere now.
Even though his arm was cut off, he was quiet and drowsy when speaking.
“Didn’t he just die innocently?”
“Are you saying things like that without killing me?”
“Didn’t you think that struggling would make it more painful?”
“It won’t happen because you won’t get caught.”
Ian smiled as if it was ridiculous.
“If you could have killed me, you wouldn’t have been caught.”
“is it? I don’t think I am.”
“You’re arrogant without an arm.”
“eight?”
Raven looked at his severed right arm.
Then the stones and dirt on the floor gathered towards his arm.
The stone and the soil changed into the shape of an arm.
“Are you there now?”
“okay? Then I’ll take it out again.”
Ian stretched out his arms.
Raven didn’t just look at it.
“Have you tried?”
“okay.”
Then suddenly a voice was heard from behind.
Distortion of space from behind.
Rudy appeared from behind Raven.
“ah?”
“By the way, I have no intention of ending it in the arms.”
Raven’s eyes widened.
Obviously, I hadn’t seen Rudy for a day.
Then, suddenly, Rudy appeared here.
Before Raven reacted, Rudy aimed at Raven’s heart without hesitation.
Rudy’s arm pierced right through Raven’s heart.
“You must not be vigilant.”
“… … .”
Raven, whose body was pierced, looked up at his pierced arm and raised his head.
Raven looked at Rudy smartly and said.
“Is that what I have to say?”
Raven raised an eyebrow.
