86 – The Beginning of Division
“Conwells… This kid can’t be like this… “
A letter arrives right in front of you.
Looking at this, Nelson was making a truly rotten expression.
A reply to Nelson’s request for an all-out war with the rebels.
However, at this moment, the content contained within was completely different from what she expected.
Going ahead with an all-out war against her as she had hoped,
Or at least it did not contain anything that would allow her to make sorties against her enemies.
A reply sent to her by General Cornwells, commander-in-chief of the colonial imperial army here.
To put it in one word, it was as follows.
Don’t make a fuss and just calmly protect the occupied territory.
In some ways, it seemed as if he was trying to scold the young general who was trying to run wild with excitement, but Nelson, who knew the details, knew very well what this meant.
Nelson’s actions, which called for a general offensive against the rebels, were clearly fraught with selfishness.
In fact, the ultimate goal she currently has,
It killed all those dirty rebels and her brother… The plan was to take Cromwell as a ‘prisoner’ and make him his complete man.
It was not easy to restore him as a full-fledged general of the empire in this situation where he had committed so many things.
However, as it was quite possible for her to be taken in as a kind of property as a prisoner of war, she was now making the sure destruction of the rebels and the capture of Cromwell in the process her number one goal in life.
However,
Aside from this personal dark side, she knew very well that now was the best time to subdue those rebels.
The Franz Kingdom army is currently on the verge of joining the rebels.
If their help were to be provided in earnest, the favorable situation so far would have to be overturned at once, so the best option for the British Empire at present is to defeat the enemies before the Kingdom of Franz fully arrives here and establishes itself. It was an attack.
Of course, it was not easy to wipe out the enemies in a short period of time, but considering that the rebels had suffered serious damage in the previous Battle of Camden, it was not impossible if they quickly attacked a large army.
However,
Despite the fact that as the commander-in-chief, he would not have been unaware of this situation, General Cornwalls was ignoring her request to attack.
And, it was not difficult for General Nelson to figure out why he, who was normally capable and decisive, had made such a sluggish decision.
‘Pathetic child… I can’t believe they’re trying to keep me in check like this. ‘Now you can’t just watch me get ahead in the world, right?’
General Nelson has rapidly risen to fame through his remarkable achievements.
In particular, her achievements in the last Battle of Camden were so enormous that she was given the title of high-ranking nobleman at once, going beyond the customs so far.
And,
Her rapid success is,
Naturally, General Cornwells, who had been watching Nelson’s growth and helping him to some extent, began to feel a sense of danger.
Competent subordinates are useful in many ways, but at the same time, they also have the potential to threaten one’s position.
In that respect, it could be said that it was natural for him to try to keep Nelson in check by placing restrictions on her actions.
If Nelson continues to excel beyond this, his position as commander-in-chief will be greatly jeopardized.
In fact, although it was aborted in the home country, there was talk of replacing the commander-in-chief, so this issue would have been perceived as a direct risk to General Cornwells.
‘But no matter what… How dare you do something like this at this critical time when you can completely finish off all the rebels. In the end, he too was helpless. Still, I’ve been doing pretty well so far, but I never thought he’d do something like this, driven by his own greed, and destroying the cause!’
Still, as a much better superior than Neto, General Nelson felt quite betrayed as he had trusted him until now.
However, no matter how angry she was, there was almost nothing she could do at this moment.
Although her powers were powerful, she could not escape the limitations of being a soldier.
No matter how sh*tty the job is, you must first obey your superior’s orders.
Moreover, even if she quietly uses her own hands to break this restriction. At that time, it would have already been right after the Franz Kingdom army had completely joined the rebel forces.
In such a situation, it was too risky for Nelson to fight carelessly, so he had no choice but to avoid an unreasonable battle despite his personal desires.
So,
Feeling deeply irritated at the fact that a golden opportunity was wasted by one person’s foolish mistake,
As General Nelson gritted his teeth, he automatically frowned at the thought that things were not going to be easy in the future.
‘Once we have started to keep things in check, it means that we will continue to put our feet on the line in the future… A very annoying guy ended up getting involved.’

“Kuhuhuhuhhh…” Whoa whoa… Huh….Huh… “
Clara is covered in a sticky, sticky liquid and is breathing out in pain and fatigue.
Looking at her, Viscount Harconnell began to let out her grotesque laugh, draping her garments over her own naked body, which consisted of bloated lumps of fat.
“Kuhuhuhuh, she’s a pretty good girl after all. “I heard she charmed many men with that body, so she’s definitely more fun than other prostitutes.”
Clara was declared dead and disappeared from the records.
Viscount Harconnell had locked her in the annex of his mansion and was using her as a tool to satisfy her carnal desires.
This ‘relationship’ with her has brought great joy to her Viscount over the past month. Even at this moment, she was giving him a great sense of satisfaction as a tool that completely absorbed the stress that had built up in her due to her work.
“Khuhuhuhu. “Then I will come again tomorrow, so stay calm until then, my cute toy girl.”
With those words, Viscount Harconnell left the mansion, waddling along the streets.
Clara, who was left alone with her entire body exhausted, gritted her teeth in her dazed mind and began to struggle to get up from her seat.
‘This… like this… It can’t end like this… How did I get here… I have to get out of here somehow… ‘
Clara is in a situation where she can’t even think of escaping under strict surveillance.
I sucked the part of the man with my mouth that had his chest ripped open and gave off a smell so disgusting that it made me vomit.
The worst daily hardship of having teeth forced into her precious places was wearing down her body and mind day by day.
However, despite this, the strong will to escape still burned in her heart without being extinguished.
Now that we are in desperate danger due to Nelson’s takeover, we are suffering tremendously day by day.
She was contemplating a way to overcome this situation as calmly as possible amidst her burning desire for vengeance and her thirst for freedom.
‘The only time the surveillance was slightly relaxed was right after the Viscount left here… If we look for that gap, it might be possible… ‘
She didn’t have any metal items with her, and since her hands were tightly handcuffed, it wouldn’t be easy to escape from this place even if the surveillance was slightly relaxed.
But at this moment,
She finally had something in her hands that could solve these two problems to some extent.
‘Luckily, I succeeded in stealing this from that guy’s clothes… It may be impossible right now, but if you just put in the effort to process this… ‘
A small decoration made of iron scraps from the Marquis of Haconel’s clothes.
If I used this to remove the handcuffs and immediately snatch the weapon from the soldier guarding in front of me, I might be able to open a way to escape.
Of course, if she fails, she will experience something more terrible than before, but dying slowly like this is absolutely unacceptable.
So, she was looking for an opportunity to do something.
With her cuffed hands she began to carefully grind away her metal decorations.
‘I’m glad she’s learning picking skills. Just a little while… ‘
Clara stays up all night preparing for work in secret.
Finally,
She finally began to carefully undo her handcuffs using the needle that had finally been sharpened to a satisfactory level and was now ready for picking.
‘Please just a little longer… little bit more… ‘
Avoiding the eyes of soldiers who often wander around to check on the situation.
Clara is wrestling with the narrow keyhole, relying on the dim light that is hard to see.
And finally…
-Click!
“… Ah!”
Clara finally managed to free the handcuffs.
At this, a deep light of joy began to appear on her face.
Then she carefully leaned against the wall and began to look for an opportunity to escape.
‘It will be time for the soldiers to come in for patrol… If you take advantage of that opportunity and steal his weapon… ‘
While thinking about that, Clara listens to the sound of footsteps coming from outside.
At that time…
“Kwaaak!”
-Kwagwagwang!!!
“!?”
The screams and loud explosions suddenly increased.
At the same time, seeing the wall right next to her shatter,
A deep sense of embarrassment began to appear on Clara’s face.
“What… what?”
