Chapter 89 – 8. Underworld Occupation War (9)
Legion-level troops, the chairperson’s seat was not created haphazardly.
A general is a member of a country’s leadership. A single word from them can sometimes change the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. The knowledge required of the master of the battlefield, where the lesser evil is the best, is not limited to military force.
“General.”
19 Beckenbauer 3rd Avenue, Casino Babel’s golden tower rooftop was hectic with people stretching here and there. Of course, they were members of the Moldenhauer liaison, and they were the ones who were defeated in front of overwhelming tactics in the magic confrontation that started with an organization.
“Peter Moldenhauer, as soloist of the Black Orchestra and member of another Schneider family, I declare.”
The sorcery of the Liaison Association boasts the highest level of difficulty among the 11 organizations in Saxony. The reason is that their magic is an organ that puts their lives at risk.
“Your loss.”
Of course, magic of other organizations is not without danger. However, chess requires chess words. Even more so, the conditions for catching each other’s words for this human organ do not depend on any rank or rule.
“As expected, you are the guardian of the eastern front…….”
It is only determined by the strength possessed by the individual.
“I will not humiliate the karma you have shouldered. Even if you don’t have to do that, if you were a noble, you would already be disillusioned with your own corruption. However, even if it is on a table, a war is definitely a war.”
“What do you want to say?”
“If you thought that you, the head of a gang, and my tactics, which control the Ichigo Corps, would boil, you would be making a huge mistake.”
In that sense, the Moritz Special Forces were perfectly qualified as a group to challenge the liaison meeting. Just looking at the knife pointed at Peter Moldenhauer’s neck right now made it so.
The board drawn on the rooftop, the only people who fell on that stage were those belonging to the Liaison Society.
As the name implies, the dozens of carefully selected members of the 9th Corps are in good health. Moreover, the unity of those who forged bonds through numerous battles on the Eastern Front was solid. Indeed, to the extent that the hero of this country cannot be trusted.
“Whose plan came from?”
“Does this Otto Moritz seem like an idiot who would cheat while accepting instructions from others, even if he is the duty of the underworld?”
“How foolish you are. I’m not referring to the magic of the liaison meeting. I’m talking about this war of occupation of the underworld. You must have been waiting for someone. Because you guys didn’t deserve it. Until he declared another goddamn Schneider family.”
The male prostitute of the Fuehrer is a man of great ambition. This nameless alliance, forged today, was centered on the man who had been looked down upon. That’s why the person in charge of each organization, including Otto, appointed him as the party to execute this magic.
Yeongbu’s Seo Jeong-woo, indeed, the queen’s favorite companion.
He is the actual leader of the coalition. He is the real one, who neither the generals who command corps-level troops nor generals who hold important positions in a country dare to question their qualifications. But apart from that, there was one regrettable thing about the pinnacle of this alliance.
“Yeah, Jungwoo didn’t have enough names.”
It’s honor
“That is our leader. You keep trying to carry too many things on your own. As a comrade, I can’t bear to look at it.”
Adele Schneider was once the woman who took the place of Giselle. As the head of the Schneider Family, she managed and supervised all of the assistant products passing through Saxony.
Of course, the family at the time was not strong enough to lead 11 organizations like now. She was just a window that accepted some nobles into the underworld, and it was just an opportunity for an organization called the Hwarang of Inse to be born.
However, her qualifications and the position necessary for magic were sufficient.
“The Brotherhood of Saxony, the Hwarang of the People’s Republic, the Drag Clan, and now I’m on my way to a fight with the herbalist with my broken body again.”
“You only speak incomprehensible words. What does that have to do with the question I asked?”
“Think about it, Moldenhauer.”
“…… ?”
“How ashamed are you? If an outsider from the East struggles so hard to root out the evils of the country, why are we who were born and raised here just watching it? What were you doing until that hope appeared?”
Peter sighed. If the Moldenhauer of the Old Kingdom had to be defined in one word, it would be the cynical gnome family.
The idea that you will be weak just because you are small is prejudice.
The difference in physique was overwhelming. Peter was on the small side among gnomes, and Otto was on the large side among orcs. However, he did not know how to be intimidated by such a fact, and even in such a predicament, he showed his pessimism without hesitation.
With such courage, she proved that she was a person worthy of being the head of an organization.
“I have nothing to say. Do you think you can scoop out the waves of the times with just a bucket?”
“You’ll know if you try.”
“…… !”
And Otto, the guardian of the eastern front, confirmed that he was the one who had won against Peter.
“People are the problem. Whatever it is, try to settle for reality. I’m just afraid of the changes that will come to me. Of course, it is also true that there are times when you need an attitude of maintaining the status quo or a sense of stability that it provides. However, there are times when we have to challenge the times with cool-headed reason and passionate sensibility.”
“It’s reckless.”
Peter sniffed at my feelings rising up in his throat. It had to be. A physical predicament can be overcome by resignation, courage, and unexpected twists. But a creed predicament is only denial. No one could resist the violence that trampled on my past.
So Peter Moldenhauer suffered.
“Look, Moldenhauer.”
And Otto Moritz nailed it.
“Have you tried?”
It was a decisive blow. Peter, who had gritted his teeth enough to make a gnashing sound, clenched his fist. As if he couldn’t get rid of his anger with that, he kept his head hanging down as if chewing on his brain.
“You, the hero, do not know. The humiliation we had to endure.”
“I guess so. Certainly you and the leaders of this street must have been pitiful victims.”
Gisele Schneider and her family were clearly victims. However, it is not limited to them. Most perpetrators are like that. They also have a time when they were victims. It’s the same logic as if there was a time when a frog was a tadpole.
“But that’s all. The thirteen nobles of the glorious old kingdom have passed away with the twilight of our time. The one in front of me right now is not Peter, the owner of the Moldenhauer family. It’s just Peter, the pitiful criminal of the Schneider family.”
Just because your past life was unfortunate doesn’t make today’s sins go away.
“The game is over!”
“…… Lost.”
It is an obvious fact.
“I admit defeat.”
Enough to make yesterday’s nobility, today’s sinner, who is tired of resentment acknowledge it.
“I hope that the great hero will face trials like ours in the future.”
With this, there are two organizations left.
“Thank you for the blessing.”
Otto Moritz spat out calmly.
* * *
A signal rang.
However, Thorsten Hofner could not pick up the radio hung on the belt.
“This is the Moritz Special Forces, we have obtained the Moldenhauer liaison.”
“Reception is good, the special forces are expected to join the main unit at 202 Saxon 2nd Street.”
「What is the situation in each place?」
“Except for the White Guard, Special Forces, and Intelligence Division 2, everyone has joined the main unit. Currently, there are four organizations that have been occupied, and the only remaining ones are the Mummert Contracting Party and Eric Schaeffer, a human pharmacist.”
“Confirm.”
The subject of the radio was his immediate superior and his close friend, the head of the intelligence department. Actually, both of them were embarrassing to be called young, but they were very quick, perhaps because they weren’t incompetent people who discussed tabletop discussions in a safe backyard.
Even in such a light radio, it is short and clear, to the extent that it conveys only the necessary matters.
“Interesting, Captain Hoffner.”
So, if it was more sad, I would have been sorry.
“Very interesting.”
As you can guess from its name, the Backrod is a unit that stands shoulder to shoulder with the Crows. Of course, it is true that he is not as high as those three-legged crows in terms of stature, but even so, the troops he commands are among the best in Bernhardt.
“I didn’t know that the Mummert Contracting Party would collapse so easily.”
“…….”
“Do you know who we are?”
4th Avenue in Saxony District, the duel of the proxy of the contracting party ended successfully. It was thanks to his wit that he found a justification for stepping out directly by entrusting his position to a subordinate he trusted. Because he was a talented person who had both knowledge and martial skills to the extent that the guardian of the eastern front made him his lieutenant.
“Where can you answer?”
There were no casualties. It was like that until a little while ago. In fact, it still is, but unfortunately there was a difference.
It was very dangerous. It’s like a sailboat about to capsize in the tsunami in the sea.
And it wasn’t because of a lack of leadership from a man named Thorsten Hofner. Surprisingly, he has achieved some of the best achievements within the coalition.
By completely subduing Lothar Mummert, the twisted dwarf, either way.
“How?”
But what use is it all for?
“Ask why.”
What a bleak situation.
“Why?”
Hundreds of strongmen surrounded him and the white troupe.
“Because that is the fate of you and that male prostitute above you.”
He and his surroundings were surrounded by aspects that could only be found in an operation brief. Some had their hands on my shoulders, some were soothing the frustrated Lothar Mummert. In this way, the executives who ruled the Bernhard underworld confidently revealed that they also had ties of their own.
“If you are the alliance of the sun, we are the alliance of the shadows.”
An elderly man spoke as if giving advice. He had an impressive long beard and blue skin. It was a spirit known as a race that originated in the Far East.
“Thorsten Hofner.”
Then, far away, a woman who appeared to be a banshee had brought two hostages. Bound with blindfolds and bound with ropes, they were people who should never be here.
“Aren’t you underestimating us too much?”
As a warrior who was prepared for death, he wanted to fight at the risk of death. However, the two people in front of Thorsten had taken away even the last option for him to face the end confidently.
― Keep in mind.
Only then did I recall the advice of the woman who rang late on the radio.
― I was also a member of the Schneider family. If I deny their legitimacy and declare that I will found a new organization, and if I accept you as a member of that organization…….
It is true that the qualifications necessary for the Saxon Magic are always to be baptized members of this city. In that context, Adele, who was an elder of the Schneider family, devised a method. A way to help Jung-woo, who has been devastated by the fight with Paul Bauer.
―You can grant any number of qualifications necessary for the occupation of Saxony.
A trick that allows him to wage an occupation war even if he doesn’t go there himself.
―But if the news reaches Giselle, she will surely act because of her hatred for me.
― Miss Schneider, that won’t happen.
– As Thorsten said. Isn’t Mr. Rosenkrantz blocking the communication on 5 Beckenbauer Street?
Not delegating qualifications as a member of the Schneider Family, but a Shinsu that creates a new organizational faction and belongs to it.
– Pride always brings anger.
Adele Schneider was a genius bookkeeper. She penetrated the ecology of this city for as long as she lived in the underworld, and went to the final stage and wonderfully revived her plan that was almost stranded.
—Everyone, you’d better remember my advice.
So Thorsten thought. He said it was good to hear that.
“The proxy duel has already ended.”
“Hmm?”
“Everyone should know. According to the Saxony Magus, the Mummert Hiring Party now belongs to this Thorsten Hofner.”
“Well, that’s right.”
There are a total of 11 organizations under the leadership of Saxony. The reason why they decided to occupy only 6 organizations among them is that it is the minimum condition for challenging the peak of darkness, but it is because the other 5 organizations are that much stronger against incoming attacks.
“But Captain, isn’t that the problem?”
“…….”
“It doesn’t matter who the contract belongs to. The question is whether the male prostitute’s organization becomes the majority.”
A drop of cold sweat broke out. The intimidation of those who casually stabbed the target was very great.
“Kuk-kuk…….”
Thorsten laughed sobbing. She said that the operation went smoothly as planned, so she let go of the tension and she felt resentful of herself. Even though this situation was not caused by my negligence, such introspection always serves as a foundation for self-growth.
I don’t even need that kind of attitude anymore.
“Miss Schneider was right!”
The heads of the five organizations distorted their expressions. All in all, Adele was a passage that gave us an idea of her hatred for her woman. And she didn’t mean to, but that gap in anger gave Thorsten a chance.
“Replica doesn’t do that. Will you quietly follow along with her men?”
“I am a soldier in this country. I cannot surrender to underworld nerds like you.”
“Then it’s just death.”
“I’m willing to bear it. But before that…….”
Poof! He shouted, quickly picking up the walkie-talkie hanging from his belt.
“This is Baekrodan! Thorsten Hofner will hand over everything about the contract meeting to the First Lady!”
He never thought to stop anyone. There wasn’t even a bird like that. Someone reflexively pulled out a gun, but Thorsten didn’t blink an eye when he saw it and said what I had to say to the end.
“Mummert is yours now. And here’s the hostage…… !”
Bang! A round hole was pierced between his eyes, and he collapsed with a thud. The pink brain, which had been alive until just a second ago, flowed out like crushed konjac, and his body trembled for a moment before stopping.
It was a terrible sight.
Even more frightening than that was that it wasn’t the end. The five leaders beckoned to their men as a sign of their death. Excluding the two hostages, all members of the White House were shot in the head and executed all at once.
Tang, tang, tang, tang.
A hostage with rich blonde hair trembled with fear. I cried and cried again. The other hostages, who were very tall, differed only in degree, but not much different in their nervousness. Because it was such a dangerous environment.
Yes, to the extent that it is a natural reaction as a human being.
“He’s a guy with a lot of guts.”
Because those who reached three digits became meat at once.
“Lorenz, these two years?”
“Take me to the basement. The big boss is waiting for you.”
But yes.
“Conrad, you old man. You got blood on my clothes.”
“So what?”
“Hey, everyone shut up and get ready.”
For those who fell under the shadows, this was like everyday life.
“It’s an all-out war from now on.”
The decisive battle in the city where there shouldn’t be was finally about to begin!
