218. test (1)
Back Port.
A small port town near Landa like Wineham.
The only difference was that Weinham was on the south side of Landa and Backport was on the coast to the northeast.
oh····. There was one more difference.
Weinham succeeded in self-sustaining by local owner Donnell Mason, but Backport said that the economy was completely subordinated to Landa.
Backport’s economy today is supported by small trading companies, canning companies and seafood processing companies built with the investment of the Landa capitalists.
There were, of course, good businessmen among them, but there were, of course, those who were not.
For example, the directors of a crime firm.
They have invested quite a bit in backports, bundling money together for smuggling routes or factories to make their business items.
“But the business was occupied by a gang.”
The head of the Crime Firm branch in charge of the Backport branch told Oliver.
He gave a rather haggard impression, such as dark circles in his eyes and messy hair due to recent incidents.
“Which area specifically needs to be recaptured?”
He had already received information from both Crime Firm and Forest, but Oliver asked to confirm.
This mission wasn’t Oliver’s personal mission, but the fighter crew’s test. Nothing could be neglected.
Above all else, the role of the captain was himself…
Personally, I doubted whether I would be able to perform the job well, but I thought I would do my best separately.
Whether you like it or not, this was Oliver’s job and promise.
The head of the Back Port branch got up from his seat and pointed to the area marked on the Back Port administrative map installed on the wall of the office.
“This is here in the harbor area 3 and the little factory and warehouse area behind it. There are smugglers and small production facilities.”
It matched the information Oliver had received, and the words were sincere.
“What is the identity of the gang?”
Backport’s branch manager took the papers from the cabinet as if waiting. Although the impression was exhausted from exhaustion, the work itself seemed to be a systematic style.
“It’s a gang of foreigners.”
“A foreign gang?”
“Yes. Several foreign gangs, including Gallos and Yulate. The Gallos gangs are the mainstay, but they were originally a small gang and only subcontractors on our side. Like guards and errands… But when this man appeared, he showed us his teeth.”
The branch manager pointed to a black-and-white photo in the file folder.
In the photo, there was a man with wild short hair and a beard.
“François, from Milille.”
“What is Milliyu?”
Oliver asked innocently. Backport’s branch manager asked, perplexed. He said that he was the most daring solver in Landa.
“You don’t know what Milliu is?”
“Yes, could you please explain?”
Although the manager of Backport was perplexed, he remembered the words of the Landa branch to cooperate as much as possible because he is a precious person.
“You can think of it as Gallos’ crime pump. However, we are more of a warrior than a businessman like us. Rooted in thieves, robbers, and fallen nobles. Thanks to this, it is not systematic, but its combat power is quite high.”
Oliver nodded and stored the new information in his head. I didn’t know if I could use it later.
“One day, my men and I came here to mix with the Gallos gang, and then we gathered together a small group of scattered Gallos gangs to form a group. Now, I have brought in other foreign gangs and have grown bigger.”
“And they stole the business.”
“Yes····. They threaten to return the business to them if they hand over the city’s prostitution business, but at first we tried to solve it on our own… Even if you try to make a request to another area, it may attract some attention……”
The head of the Backport branch hesitated and began to mutter his circumstances. Feelings of asking Oliver for help shone.
“Well····. I don’t have a say in the crime firm because I’m just being hired, but can I tell you a little bit about the head of the branch when I report on the mission later?”
A blush lit up on the face of the dazed Backport branch manager.
“Well then, thank you.”
“All right. I will tell you.”
“thank you·····. Do you have any more questions?”
“There is not.”
Oliver answered briefly. It was exactly what I heard from Crime Firm and Forrest before coming here. Now it was time to work.
“Then, when are you going to subdue them? If necessary, we will join as well.”
“Now.”
“Yes?”
“Right now. I learned that the quicker the surprise, the better. And you don’t have to help.”
“Help me… You don’t even need it?”
“Yes, I am not ignoring the favor. However, since it is a kind of test, I think it would be better to do it ourselves… By any chance, what problem do you have?”
Oliver turned his head back and asked.
There were three fighter crew members standing behind Oliver’s back with their hands together, Joe, Sam, and Owen.
They shook their heads as if they were determined.
“There is not.”
“Then, no problem… branch manager. Could you please guide me to the port area 3?”
***
after a few minutes. Oliver, Joe, Sam, and the four Owens got into a chauffeured vehicle and made their way to the port area of Backport 3, which had been occupied by foreign gangs.
It is said that this place, which serves as a dock for fishing boats and a smuggling route, is crowded with people every morning, but now it is night, so it is only fuzzy.
Whoops….
The car slowed down and stopped.
Oliver got out of the car, followed by Joe and his group.
The branch manager, Backport, who followed as the driver, asked Oliver with a worried expression.
“Are you really okay with going like this?”
“Yes, it’s not just about hitting and falling, it’s about clearing out, so there’s no need to wait. When I’m done, I’ll get back to you.”
The manager of Backport didn’t have anything to say about his so calm remarks.
He said that only four people would deal with a gang of nearly a hundred people.
However, his reaction was not so strange. He was just a country gang, mainly active in this small town.
Strictly speaking, it was Randa’s side that was strange.
There are so many superhumans that can reach the level of weaponry, such as tanks and cannons, beyond humans due to city agreements.
Frankly, it was a crazy city. It was also a great city.
“Oh, I see.”
“Oh right. Can I really not care about the police or anything like that?”
“Yes, you don’t have to worry about that. With Landa’s support, I took some medicine… At least you don’t have to worry about it tonight.”
Oliver nodded and thanked him for guiding the way.
The branch manager also went back the way he had come by driving the car with good luck.
After confirming that the car had left, Oliver looked at the warehouse in the harbor.
It looked like an ordinary warehouse, but it was said that it was the head of the Crime Firm Backport branch’s business.
The fortunate thing was that it didn’t take on important functions such as storage and production of stolen goods, so you didn’t have to worry about damage.
Oliver asked.
“everyone. How many do you see?”
“About eighty people. I see a few magic users.”
Jo, who narrowed his eyes, answered as the representative. His answer was uninterrupted.
Very good.
When Oliver was training his fighter crew, what he paid attention to besides combat was his eyes.
It has no direct power, but by using the eyes, it can be used in various ways, such as grasping the other person’s emotions as well as numbers and positions, but surprisingly many people did not pay much attention to this part.
So, Oliver trained the eyes of the fighter crew who had mastered the basics to some extent, such as extraction and combat.
If it doesn’t work out, even by forcibly injecting emotions into your eyes.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Naturally, Joe, Sam, and Owen had their eyes strengthened to some extent. It was a bit risky, though.“How do you see Sam and Owen?”
“I am the same.”
“So do i. Dave.”
Upon hearing the answer, Oliver focused his attention on his eyes.
Happily, as Joe said, there were about eighty people who showed emotions, and there were some magicians who had quite a lot of magic among them.
In particular, the magician on the upper floor of the warehouse stood out the most.
“The branch manager said that François was a very good magician, but where does Sam seem to be?”
Without hesitation, Sam pointed to the top of the warehouse. He showed confidence in his own eyes and abilities.
“It is right there. Their vitality and magical power stand out the most.”
“I am of the same opinion. So, now that the status of the enemies has been grasped, shall we work? As you know, this is also a test, so I won’t be involved in combat as much as possible. You have to figure it out.”
Everyone, including Joe, nodded. There were no complaints whatsoever.
Before and after receiving the mission, Oliver had said many times that he would do this, so he was prepared.
Rather, I just feel grateful to Oliver for helping me to this extent… I got beaten up too many times during training, though.
When Oliver gave the signal, Sam was the first to move.
After intensive training in the firearms series, he battled with Oliver head-to-head every day, allowing him to use black magic as a complete technique, not as an aid to firearms.
As if to prove him, Sam naturally extracts emotions from test tubes and uses targeting at key locations where people gather. very skillfully.
This is the original black magic that Oliver taught me. When I first learned it, I didn’t understand why, but when Oliver explained the effect and how to use it, Sam learned it harder than anyone else and made it into his own technique.
It’s a black magic that makes it easier to hit the target… Depending on how you use it, it could be more fatal than anything else.
The dark emotions turned into fog and moved in the form of waves to reach the target.
Multiple dartboards on the exterior wall of the building.
Sam created a las boom. Not as good as Oliver’s, but quite fast.
Without stopping there, Sam put a black javelin over it and tossed it.
Head towards the boss at the top of the warehouse.
Like a flash of black light, the Black Javelin flew quickly and hit the target right, piercing the wall with him and detonating inside.
bang–!!
An explosion occurred inside the building. The walls swelled and shattered like rotten tin cans.
As the emotional state of the target did not disappear, it seemed that he did not die, but his vitality was weakened and his emotions were also stained with confusion and embarrassment, so it was possible to expect considerable damage.
It was the same with the other gangs in the building.
“fountain!”
“okay!”
Sam responds to Joe’s call, extracting multiple emotions with both hands to create five rath booms at the same time, and then overlaying black darts over them.
It was a little staggering, but it has grown tremendously compared to the beginning.
“Shoot! Get ready.”
Sam flew a black dart with him that fed a bomb of rage.
The black blade flew towards the building in a trajectory, and at the same time, Jo and Owen applied black magic to their bodies and ran to the building.
bang!! Kwagwagwang-!! pop-!
As soon as the black dart hit the building, an explosion occurred again, and the foreign gangs, who had not yet grasped the situation, screamed in confusion.
And aiming for the gap, Owen broke the door with a huge iron rod and entered the building, and Joe concentrated the power of the black suit on his legs and jumped. He jumped upstairs and broke the wall and entered the building.
It was the beginning of a serious test.
