Kill the Queen 94

Chapter 94 - 9. Hyacinth (4)

The war is over, and only war remains.


However, the only thing this scarred victory gave us was a sense of defeat. It's not that we were able to win because we were right, it's just proof that we were able to win because we were vicious.


"Jungwoo, the work of arranging the remains of the dead has been completed."


"What about Thorsten and the White Guards?"


"We are in the process of obtaining a coffin and transporting it as soon as possible. If possible, I'd like to do business, but I don't know if the higher ups will leave it alone."


What do we, who survived as demons in a cruel world, have to pursue in this life?


"Take care of the body in Saxony. Separate the pia, but cremate them all, and deliver our corpses to the bereaved family. Even if the story leaks out, I send it back."


"I will."


Even in the midst of a sense of desolation, I leaned against the backrest, having to finish the fierce battle. The car that Hartmut personally drove was very comfortable, but I was still uncomfortable, perhaps because of the conflict with the person in the car.


"Your Excellency, is it okay to talk for a while?"


Even in the midst of that, I had to respond to the radio that was ringing non-stop.


"I have an urgent matter to report."


"Anton, what is it?"


"Currently, simultaneous movements are being observed by the SS Intelligence Bureau. According to what we found out, it seems that we are collecting information about a commotion that occurred within Brullin."


"A commotion in Brullin?"


"This is my personal opinion, but I think it's probably because His Excellency the First Lady faced the big boss with us."


The surveillance network of the SS intelligence police is everywhere. They are truly ubiquitous. Even though the streets that are in charge of Anton's intelligence department here, and the streets including Saxony, are less influential.


"Anyway, it was only a matter of time before Heinrich found out about this incident. That's why I entrusted Otto with the management of the battlefield, and I entrusted you with external information work. As long as we stand tall as a faction, that Beatrix will take special care of me and respect our actions."


"Indeed, it is."


"But isn't this too fast? Even if their eyes were everywhere, less than an hour had passed."


"I also think the same. However, several aides, including Fuhrer Adler, are currently absent. With the Atlantic Ocean in the western colonies, Chernysk in the northeast, and unrest in the south, it's not time to pay attention to internal affairs."


"Beatrix is ​​away? If so, the current person in charge of Brulin is......."


"It must be Heinrich Heinrich, the captain of the guard."


At that moment, it felt as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer. It was because of a possibility that emerged belatedly.


"Damn it."


"Why is that?"


"Details will be delivered later through Lieutenant Colonel Heinz. I will be responsible for the rest, so take care of each other's safety by any means necessary."


"All right."


Teeth trembled As soon as I put the radio down, I told Hartmut, who took the wheel.


"Turn the car. Go to the Steilheil District immediately."


"Where are you talking to, Steilheil?"


"...... SS headquarters."


The vehicle, which had long since left Saxony, happened to be in an area not too far from Steilheil. I couldn't hide my irritation while driving down the road and looked at Adele sitting next to me. I called her because I suddenly thought that I couldn't leave her as it was.


"Adele."


Milky white eyes that I could not understand at all turned to me.


"Now I won't ask why you did it anymore. The means and methods were overdone, but you are still Adele, the bookkeeper for me. Above all, I believe that trust must be firmly guarded in the most difficult moments."


"Yes."


"But you insulted our noble struggle. I will never forget that. For whatever reason, what you did was terrible."


"All right."


Before long, the vehicle entered Steilheil Street. And at the same time, two voices came one after another from the walkie-talkie.


"Your Excellency, this is Franz."


"Lieutenant Freger, are you all right for a moment?"


I picked up my walkie-talkie and made a short communication call.


"The ensign waits for a while."


"All right."


"Franz, talk."


"All preparations for the safe house in downtown Brullin have been completed. The wounded will definitely be treated in a communal house somewhere in Böblingen."


"I heard you were hurt too."


"I'm fine."


"Let's take a break for the time being. Leave the transportation of the wounded to Captain Eidinger."


"Thank you for your concern."


After that, communication with Franz was cut off. This time it was my turn to talk to Freger. Unfortunately, however, the vehicle Hartmut was driving arrived in front of the magnificent building of the SS headquarters around that time.


"Your Excellency, First Lady, we have arrived."


"Good work. I will only take you to Adele and you will rest too."


"Can I take you to the official residence?"


Originally, it should have been. However, according to Anton's words, Beatrix was away not only from the official residence but also from Brullin. It was said that Heinrich was now in charge of Bernhard's internal affairs, albeit for a while.


I thought for a moment. It didn't take long. Fortunately, I had freedom in the official residence, and because of that, the matter was not so difficult to conclude.


"Hey, Lieutenant Colonel."


"Tell me."


"You said that the lieutenant colonel was definitely called the man of Boeblingen, right? I think you said yes to your external status as a real estate agent on Brullin Street."


"Yes, but."


"Can you prepare a safe house from the eyes of the SS?"


Hartmut hesitated for a moment. And soon, he, who had been looking at the suspicious gaze until just a moment ago, changed his gaze and nodded. Indeed, like a spy who leads a group of underdogs, he immediately understood what I said.


"A top-secret safe house exists near Brullin Station in the old Rosengart. I will take Mr. Schneider there."


"What is your address?"


"It is a detached house at 909 1st Street."


"I get it. Please do so."


After a brief look at Adele, I got out of the car. The SS headquarters on Steilheil Street was strictly guarded by its nature, but it was an open door to me.


Tak, I closed the slanted door and saw a vehicle disappearing over there. Then, he connected communication with Freger, who was still waiting on the other side of the radio, and started talking.


"Frager, you made me wait a long time."


"No."


"The current situation?"


"The unit commander and Mr. Rudolph were away for a while due to Rolfe's call. Perhaps it was to reprimand them for hiring us without permission. In addition, other members, including myself, are currently receiving simple treatment at Brulin Special General Hospital."


"Is anyone else injured?"


"There is not. Don't worry."


Should I say that I am lucky out of misfortune? There were no significant casualties for the gunners, who were called the most elite in the country. I was in such a terrible situation, but I was so grateful for that fact, so I was relieved a little.


"I'm glad."


"Thank you for your concern."


"The lieutenant remembers that her wife was pregnant."


"Yes, I will be due soon."


"I will return to my family as soon as I finish treatment."


"I'm fine."


"Do it. At least for the time being."


"...... Thank you for your consideration."


Today was a really intense day. Nothing was gained, because much was lost. But even so, those who survived still had their own lives. It was for this reason that I did not abuse the power given to me.


Are my failures, frustrations, and discouragement worth rewinding the future that should have been given to them?


It can't be. We failed today with only a wound victory, but we will not give in to despair. Above all, I believe this life will be like that with Giselle. I believe it's a slug fight, not a slug fight.


"Let's get to the point. How is Helga now?"


"According to the doctor's opinion, there is no noticeable trauma. However, the shock was considerable, and the psychological panic was rather serious. Even if you go to the hospital, they say it would be better to receive treatment for the time being."


"No hospitalization. Specialized general hospitals have Gongri. Explain Helga's identity to the doctor and make her visit the official residence. In addition, we must ensure that the identities of the second lieutenant and myself are not exposed as much as possible."


"We have been equipped with various identities since our time in the military. You don't have to worry too much about exposure. However, there is one correction in what you said."


"Correction? What is it?"


"The axiom the captain said, so Dr. Artur Everel is currently on vacation."


"A vacation? But he's definitely......."


"Yes, according to the memories the captain showed us, he should be working at the hospital around this time. But the fact that he went on vacation and his whereabouts are unknown means that our actions affected him in some way."


Artur Everel of the Bruhlin Express General Hospital is undoubtedly an Iron Cross member. There is no doubt about that. However, unlike Beatrix, she is a human outside of my range of motion. Therefore, if he moves differently than usual, it means that the aftermath of my action has been crazy in some way.


"According to what Anton said, Beatrix and some of her entourage were away. If that aide meant the Iron Cross, a conflict with the Federation or the United States would inevitably be inferred."


"That's right. And as I said before, the shadow lady's business card that fell at the place where we rescued Miss Schmidt had the number of the intercontinental communication station connected to the United States written on it.......」


“This means that the mastermind behind Saxony's great leader could have originated not only from the SS, but also from an unidentified powerful person called Shadow Wife. Even more so, though hypothetically, that Beatrix even possessed such authority that she brought her entourage to personally step forward.”


"As you said, it is still a hypothesis. It is certain that the shadow wife intervened in this fight in some way, but I am not sure that the background that called for the movement of the Fuhrer and Gong-ri was also there."


"It is as you say. But conversely, it doesn't make sense for mere hypotheses to fit so tightly. It is a material worth verifying."


"If you give an order, we will move."


"No, this time I will go ahead myself."


Even so, he was about to set up a negotiation. After I told Freger to take a break, I immediately cut off communication. Wearing the walkie-talkie again, I approached the guardsmen who were checking and searching in front of me with stiff expressions.


Perhaps because of the uniforms and armbands they were wearing, the guys who treated the complainants with a rather high-handed attitude waited for me very much. It must have been like a thorn in the eye, pacing around the entrance from earlier and talking on the walkie-talkie. It must have been even more so because the outfit with only one overcoat with the top uncovered was also poor.


"There, stop!"


As expected. One of the two guards stopped me and shouted. The other quietly drew her pistol from the holster she wore over her shoulder. He didn't aim at it, but he seemed to think that that alone would be enough of a threat.


"Submit your ID and tell us the purpose of your visit."


"If it came out like this, most of them would have been trembling, right?"


"What did you just say?"


With a clap, the guy with the ball back put his gun at my temple. Looking at the smiling face, it was definitely trigger happy. The buggers who satisfy their need for power and power with trigger-happy fun.


"Follow me! I will perform with a star."


"...... These babies."


I still felt uncomfortable. It was a really intense and fucking day. So I twisted my head slightly to avoid the muzzle and snatched his gun at once. Just like that, before the other guy drew his weapon, he shot him in the knee and knocked him down, then pinned the other guy to the floor and stomped on him with his feet, shouting.


"Heinrich, you motherfucker!"


"Ouch! My legs!"


"Kkeok, Kkeok!"


"Give me exactly 10 seconds! Everyone knows you're here, so come out right now!"


For the idiots who may not be able to recognize it, with a personal introduction.


"Youngbugun is on his way...... !"
