𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟖𝟏: 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐝𝐞𝐫 (𝟑)
During the weekend, about two weeks before the summer vacation, Oswald and Alicia headed to the Bloodtooth branch near the capital city.
“Are you okay with me blowing them sky-high this time?”
“Of course.”
“All right!”
Alicia, who had been working hard as an elite Vanguard member, was under a lot of stress, as she knew that Bloodtooth was behind all of this, but couldn’t make any rash moves. She was determined not to forgive those Bloodtooth bastards who had driven her to this point.
“But still, be careful. Those guys have managed to climb up to their current positions after going through many battles.”
“Oswald will protect me if anything happens.”
“Aren’t you trusting me too much?”
“Well, it’s just me and you here. If I don’t trust you, who am I supposed to trust?”
“Ugh. . . . . . .”
That was true, so Oswald just smacked his lips and remained silent.
After a while, the two arrived at Bloodtooth’s secret base.
On the surface, it looked like a small farm, but inside the small building was a passage that led to a secret underground base.
“Okay, ladies first.”
“Infinity Storm!”
Ku-gu-gu-gung!
Then, a fierce storm began to rage, and hundreds of lightning bolts soon struck the farm, destroying it.
Crackle. Rumble! Crackle. Rumble!
Then, a flood occurred, and in an instant, the entire farm was submerged, and soon after, the ground began to collapse. Then, guys wearing crimson long coats began to crawl up through the collapsed ground.
“Earth Quake!”
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu!
The base, which had just been swept over by a huge storm, was now hit by a massive earthquake.
The ground had already been weakened by the creation of the underground space, and after it had collapsed once due to the rising water, the earthquake completely destroyed it. It was such a powerful magical attack that even the Bloodtooth members who had barely managed to climb out of the wreckage were swept away again.
Even so, there were some who survived, and according to the sensory level information coming in, they were skilled individuals at the expert intermediate level or higher. Oswald personally finished those guys off with sniper shots.
“Earth Modeling!”
Then, Alicia cast a sculpting spell, and two statues appeared in the center of the destroyed Bloodtooth base. They were statues of a woman with a staff, wearing a long coat and a mask, and a man with a gun.
Alicia nodded in satisfaction as she wrote the words ‘love’ and ‘justice’ in cursive underneath. . . . . . .
“That damn love and justice. . . . . . .”
“Why? It was you who spread that saying, Oswald. Are you embarrassed?”
When Oswald wiped out the Maren family, the lines he had shouted spread far and wide and became the established introduction for Peacemaker. Now, ‘love and justice’ had become synonymous with Peacemaker.
Oswald was even teased about it since other Peacemaker members used it as well.
“Sigh. . . . . . . . They say that people who talk too much end up ruining themselves. . . . . . .”
Over the weekend, Peacemaker went on a rampage, destroying five of Bloodtooth’s secret bases around the capital city, Central.
As a result, the Sword, which had been dispatched after hearing the commotion, cleaned up the scene, and soon the media took pictures of the only place among the five destroyed sites where a statue remained and spread them in the newspapers. Thanks to that, the existence of ‘Peacemaker’ was firmly imprinted on the minds of the people.
“Hah. . . . . . .”
Oswald let out a dumbfounded sigh as he looked at the newspaper with the headline ‘Love and Justice!’ in bold. Anyway, according to the newspaper, Peacemaker was at war with Bloodtooth of the Seven Dark Families.
In addition, the Shield made an official announcement that Bloodtooth was producing the Happy Powder that was currently plaguing the entire empire and declared war on them.
Many lords gave their full support to the Shield’s official announcement and stated that they would cooperate with the Shield as much as possible.
‘𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘏𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴.’
It weakened the security of the territory and made the healthy territory people sick, so it was no less damaging. Territory people were important assets for lords, who could mobilize them as troops or as a means of securing tax revenue if necessary.
They had to be well-fed and well-educated to be useful, so how could they not be upset if they were ruined by Happy Powder? That was why they were being cooperative with the Shield.
Of course, some of the local Sword officers were probably trembling in fear. . . . . . .
🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸
“All the bases near the capital have been destroyed, and the additional bases that were discovered were also attacked by the Shield?”
“Yes, Big Boss.”
“Was it Peacemaker?”
“Each and every one of them is skilled at the master level or higher.”
“Are they like the Dark Brotherhood?”
“They feel similar to the Dark Brotherhood, but their approach is definitely different.”
“Their approach is different. . . . . . .”
“Yes, they promote love and justice as their beliefs.”
“Love and justice. . . . . . . It sounds like some childish kids’ game. But still, there’s no belief as reliable as that. . . . . . . Moreover, they might even gain the support of ordinary people. This is a pain in the ass.”
“For the time being, it seems that we should stop distributing Happy Powder in the empire and disband all organizations within the empire.”
“Wouldn’t we lose too much if we did that?”
“However, if we continue to be attacked by the Shield and Peacemaker, we will lose our members and have to worry about losing human resources. Moreover, with the recent change of leadership in the Kronen family, the Kronen family has been expanding aggressively. . . . Our members are more valuable in this situation.”
“To what extent should we stop our activities?”
“I think we should close down at least all the bases with more than 10 people.”
“Hah. . . . . . . If we do that, it might be like just handing the empire over to the Kronen family.”
“Of course, we should also leak information about the Kronen family to the Shield so that they won’t dare to expand their power either.”
“Tsk. . . . . . .”
“Even so, since we have acquired this manpower, it might be a good idea to send our members to the New Continent for the time being. Whoever it is, if they can push out the chaos and develop the New Continent, they can become the masters of that land, so it might be more stable to establish bases on the New Continent.”
“Fine, if that’s the only way, we’ll have to do it. Make it so.”
“Yes, Big Boss.”
“Oh! And what were they called? Bloody Axe Corps? What do you plan to do with them?”
“They’re guys who have already been exposed to the Shield. If we just leave them alone, they’ll take care of themselves.”
