140 – Intermission_10
The fall of Ella from the Sky Island shocked the whole world beyond the Holy Empire of America.
That’s because the damage was so great.
Of course, Ines, who was designated as a traitorous hero and supervillain, also caused great damage to the 17th Federal Terrorist Attack in China, shocking the world, but this time the number of victims was different.
Hundreds of thousands of people directly died as a result of the island crash.
Millions of people have been indirectly affected.
There was a story that there could be tens of millions of people who have been harmed in some way, either directly or indirectly financially.
Is that all?
Paladin Richard Tyler, the great No. 3 Sword of the Holy Empire and respected and loved by the citizens, disappeared while fighting against the villain who caused the incident, and many heroes were also sacrificed tremendously.
So, every day, the head of the Holy Empire and the Hero Association were reprimanded by the citizens and held meetings every day.
If it’s a natural disaster, if you justify that you weren’t prepared enough, you’ll get over it anyway, and if the incident happened because of the villains, you can’t help but blame them.
“If the director has a mouth, tell me!!!”
Meeting room of Simcheo, Holy Empire of America.
John Alec, director of counterintelligence for the Holy Empire, glared at the gray-haired man pointing at him.
‘Damn it.’
How much did you wipe your back, but when the situation became urgent, you erased it and stabbed yourself as the spearhead of asking for responsibility.
I wouldn’t have known hundreds of years ago, but now, no matter how great an empire or even a high-ranking member of the association, you could be dragged down by angry citizens, so it was a natural security activity, but Alec had no choice but to grit his teeth.
Honestly, if you fight for responsibility until the end, you have no choice but to take all the sins with you first.
John Alec is the Director of Counterintelligence.
Because he is the head of the counterintelligence agency.
What is the mission of the counterintelligence agency?
It is an institution that creates and executes the identification of spies and operatives of enemy countries, their investigations and countermeasures.
It was because the sub-category included counter-terrorism, explosives management, and grasping the dynamics of malicious villain organizations.
Of course, there were areas that overlapped with the cops and heroes, but…
Basically, the responsibility is on this side.
In a way, they are just limbs.
Because you can’t be the head.
“The villains are carrying that amount of bombs to Ella, but what did the Counterintelligence Corps do that I can’t figure out!!!”
A shout that strikes the ears again.
Alec lowered his head.
‘I feel unfair too!!!!!’
It was unfair and just unfair.
Not even bombs, nor gunpowder tend to move toward the island.
Even if you want to bring it from another country, it is not.
You want to know where the villains came from with a bomb that could blow up an island.
No, I don’t know why there was a villain among the cadets invited for the event in the first place, and I also don’t know why they did this.
Since all the people presumed to have caused the incident are dead, no one will speak up anymore.
So even if you make predictions through assumptions, neither the reason nor the motive is clear.
In the first place, the villain organization also keeps the line.
Even if they do, it’s enough to grab a building and terrorize it, kidnap an important person, or murder a few people.
Of course, if it’s serious enough, it’s serious, but it’s the law to keep the line.
I know that no matter how strong the villain organization is, it will be crushed under the power of the state.
By the way…
“Why is there no answer!!!”
“You still don’t know which organization did it?”
“There is no time to be incompetent. Do you know how many people have been sacrificed now?”
“What is your job!! If you don’t know, right now-“
“Please resign!!!”
The condemnation begins one by one.
After a while, there was no one in the meeting room who did not blame himself.
Anyway, there were many people who wiped their backs, so I thought of taking this opportunity to bury myself knowing my weakness.
“…”
What you want to shout is yourself.
However, each word is recorded and memorized, and it returns to memorization with a dagger.
Even if I made a mistake, I had to gloss over it.
If that didn’t work, I had to shut it up.
However, it is a story when it is a tolerable incident.
The offering is almost decided.
The head of the counterintelligence agency, led by himself, is all gone.
Aside from that, the leadership of the hero and the police will be divided.
If that doesn’t work, the head of the empire will be blown away, and the legislators will be blown away…
‘Princess…’
If you make a mistake, even the 4th princess you were serving could be abandoned.
“…”
That’s not okay.
That’s not enough.
I don’t mind the ending of suicide, but that alone is unacceptable.
‘I have nothing to give.’
I am not interested in enjoying something.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a luxury item or something.
‘But will you still be my sword?’
If she laughs, she does.
I hope that the life that was a series of pain is now happy.
That’s why I know I shouldn’t be like this.
Didn’t you make an oath to hope for the stability and well-being of the country?
The enthusiasm of that time…
‘…’
Information can be either a sword or a shield depending on how it is used.
John Alec raised his head.
I will do anything to protect it.
If it’s fabrication or incitement, whatever it is, you take full responsibility.
“Please say something!!”
“How long are you going to remain silent, do you think you need to hold a public hearing to come to your senses?”
Intense pressure.
“…Let’s make a deal.”
John Alec opened his mouth.
The next day, the story that the Japanese East Army might be behind this incident spread among the citizens of the Holy Empire of America.
“Does that make sense?”
“Why does the Eastern Military Alliance support terrorism?”
“It’s a conspiracy theory.”
“As soon as the incident happened, the Donggun Coalition quickly came to support, but what…”
Citizens didn’t believe it at first, but as rumors spread that it didn’t make sense that a single villain organization committed explosives or terrorism enough to cause the island to crash, and that Paladin’s disappearance was a trick of the same army, those who believed gradually spread. Started to increase
“Come to think of it…”
“If it was enough to make Paladin-sama go missing, the swordsman might have stepped in.”
However, that would have been nothing more than a conspiracy theory.
“There is a story that there is a donggun coalition behind this incident… What do you think?”
“What a funny conspiracy theory. Any other questions?”
That’s also true, because the head of the empire said it was all lies and not officially.
“The 32nd official meeting of the Holy Empire and the East Army Union…”
However, as it started to cause various discord, such as the cancellation of several business stories that were openly in progress with the Donggun Alliance, the story spread throughout society.
Anxiety heightened.
“We, the Tonggun Coalition, are by no means a supporter of terrorism. This is all of the Holy Empire—”
As a result, the Japanese Allied Forces raised their voice to the international community, saying that it was nonsense, but due to various evidence from the Holy Empire, as well as clear evidence and videos that the villains were the elites of Raiden Academy and the chief was Hayato Tamura. In the end, I decided to figure it out and kept my mouth shut.
Of course, that was the story of the leadership of the Donggun Alliance.
“To think that British and American brutes were insulting Yamato Tamashii.”
“Damn it.”
“What is the country doing!!!”
Since they had a crushing experience with the Holy Empire during the Great War, those who pretended to smile and covered their faces were revealed.
“What? A yellow monkey!”
“Are you attacking without knowing the subject? Do you want to get hit again?”
As such a reaction spread throughout the Holy Empire, the citizens were busy cursing them, saying that they were against the law.
A scene where hatred engenders hatred.
Inciting with one word, rebutting with a hundred words.
Internal problems are solved by external enemies.
In addition, the agency that handles national information had no choice but to fall further into the mire as the agency was determined and ran out of control.
In addition, a certain villain organization, which almost blamed Ella for the fall of the island of heaven, was blaming it with all its capabilities.
The financial damage that hit the world with the collapse of Los Angeles threw the world economy, which was not good at all, to the bottom.
Stock crashed.
The mass occurrence of the unemployed.
The bankruptcy of the company.
Negative economic growth rate.

The rise of bad feelings.
Of course, this isn’t going to cause a war or anything, but it created a rift between the two.
Originally, it would be restored somehow, but it was also a geared attachment of the sediment that was once broken, and there were so many people who interfered, so it was impossible to predict when it would recover.
“This is how it works.”
And a man who watched it at an academy laughed as if he was having fun.
Originally, I didn’t intend to make it this way, but now that I think about it, this one wasn’t bad either.
“Let’s try Alsace Lorraine next. Or Kashmar or she destroys the Black Stone…”
It was a good thing.
Everyone will face the same fate.
