A War Hero With No Regrets

20 – Killing the Sprout (2)

“Oh my god, please save me!!”

As soon as Werner said those words, revolutionary Diane Schmidt suddenly fell to the ground.

My liver was so cold that I might have even had to urinate if I hadn’t emptied my bladder in advance.

Tear apart and kill the entire revolutionary front.

Doesn’t that mean that he will tear himself to death too?

Diane can confidently say that she is better than anyone else when it comes to just one quick glance.

There was a story heard upstairs among the bigwigs of the back world.

He realized that the soldier he had dared to antagonize was none other than the renamed war hero Luthers Ethan.

I didn’t know why Brigadier General Lutus Ethan was here, having changed his name and rank.

I didn’t even want to know in the first place.

There are people everywhere who are driven to death by useless curiosity.

But now that she knows its identity, there are only two things left for Diane.

Being killed by both mice and birds without realizing it, or surviving by constantly appealing to one’s worth.

And Diane was a person who valued her life.

“I told you everything I know. But if even that isn’t enough, use me as a guide!”

“… “He is a guide.”

Werner muttered, rubbing his chin.

Blue eyes that seemed to freeze even the air pierced Diane.

The Grim Reaper, who is said to lead souls to the underworld, would not be so cruel.

“The Revolutionary Front is strictly operated as a point organization! But since this coup failed so quickly, I’m sure the other side will also want to investigate what happened!”

It was a reasonable premise.

The provincial office, which was originally set up to completely destroy the Eastern Military District, became an opportunity to discover the conspiracy of the Revolutionary Front in advance.

Thanks to this, Werner was able to completely eliminate the revolutionary front that had infiltrated the banquet hall before they even noticed anything strange.

The military police came in and cleaned up even the executive-level personnel who were waiting at the back door, so people over there must be going crazy and jumping around.

“I will step forward then!”

Diane, who was lying down, raised her head and shouted.

Werner felt that his resolve was quite good.

First of all, I was honest.

This is not a lie to avoid this situation.

The trembling yet excited voice was full of emotions stemming from fear and awe.

Rather than hiding his feelings, this was more comfortable for Werner.

“Are you okay? “If you get caught, you’ll probably die.”

“One way or another, dying is the same. And… “The people here are known to everyone in the behind-the-scenes world.”

Diane Schmidt slowly stood up.

“I have already grabbed the rope. You might not know. “This might be the opportunity of my life.”

“Opportunity?”

“Actually, I don’t even have a family! You probably already knew this! “Joining the Revolutionary Front was just something I did out of my own free will to make a living!”

You must not back down even a little.

You must not hesitate even for a second.

Don’t even think about it, just throw away all the shabbiness in your heart.

The Shinigami in front of me has already given me several opportunities.

If you miss even this point, all that awaits you in the future is a miserable death.

“But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doing anything to make a living! Isn’t everyone like that? “If you look at the Revolutionary Front, they are just trying to make a living for themselves!”

“… “Hoo.”

Mateus tapped the floor twice with his foot as if he was interested in Diane’s words.

“In the end, whether you live or die is determined by what you do! “I’m going to bet my little life big on Director Werner!!”

Diane said that and fell flat on the floor again.

Werner did not answer.

Instead, I just shifted my gaze to another cornerstone.

“If you come out like this, you’ll be more trustworthy than other guys. “As long as you feed them the right food, they will never think about anything else.”

Mateus said with a grin.

“Well, I’m skeptical? There must have been one or two men who said things like that. “Men are naturally good at lying.”

Dorothy shrugged his shoulders as if she was not particularly interested.

“… Perfect for not getting his hands dirty. “It’s only worth that much.”

Legorodo, who had never opened his mouth since he came in, added in a small but clear voice.

“Well, isn’t everything in life about eating well and living well! “The more sources of information, the better, and the more insiders you have, the better!”

Saloka, who had already copied Diane’s voice, finished the story cheerfully.

“… Good. Diane, then you have to prove it yourself. “This is an order.”

“Thank you! Thank you!!”

That night, Diane Schmidt returned to the nearest Revolutionary Front branch.

To prove his loyalty, he even sewed a location tracker into his right shoulder and sewed it himself.

He was planning to say that he barely survived the massacre that took place in the armory and escaped.

Now the die has been cast.

Werner Grime’s muzzle was pointed at the revolutionary front, and further, at all reactionary forces that dared to cause chaos in the country.

It was the first hunt worthy of the name of the Security Strategy Bureau.

***

A room filled with only silence.

It was already late and it was getting dark outside the window.

Click.

Werner silently took a cigarette and lit it.

Huuk, I exhaled, and the poisonous smoke dispersed before my eyes.

These were relationships that were scheduled to end upon retirement from the military.

Although they are called the cornerstone of the monument, in the end, they are a criminal group.

I wouldn’t directly disparage them since I was in charge of them, but it was true that I felt bad every time.

He got up from his seat and went to the window.

When I opened the window, a large building with a red cross came into view.

Branberg Hospital, Eastern Military District.

This was the hospital where Leah Gilead was hospitalized.

I was there until yesterday, but I hurried out after hearing that former Graveyard members, including Arhen, were coming.

Perhaps Argen is holding Leah and making her cry?

She may seem cold on the outside, but on the inside, she is a more delicate and finite woman than anyone else.

Werner felt like he was picturing his appearance in his hospital room before his eyes.

So it was even more difficult for him to endure.

It was right after Argen met the people he disliked.

-If you say that, I can’t help it… I’m a little, no, very annoyed, Lutus.

-After all, they were criminals. They’re people like us who don’t even have a cause. I’m worried that you, Lutus, will be influenced by them.

Of course it had to look that way.

There is no way Argentina would take kindly to holding talks with criminals even while fierce battles are still going on.

But at least until then, trust was strong.

Argen was Luther’s lover, and in her relationships with her other fiancées, she was clearly the dominant one.

As her trust deepened and her relationship with her, Argen supported Rutus’s ideas as much as possible.

However, Argen’s reaction in this episode was truly the worst, as she blocked all access and ended up receiving her hatred.

-Why on earth do we need help from criminals?

-Do you not know that if you, the commander, stick with criminals, you will be throwing the honor of those of us who risk our lives fighting on the front lines to the ground!!

-I’m ashamed, I’m ashamed. No matter how much I said I couldn’t help it, the fact that you are the commander of this fortress and my immediate superior breaks my will!

In fact, that was why we became closer than any other episode.

It was obvious that I would never hear any good words from Argen or her Charlotte.

She was especially careful with Leah.

Isn’t this something you don’t need to know?

So Luthers Ethan brutally wielded those who were called cornerstones, and was able to control the entire front line even with the rank of brigadier general.

Local gangs, guerrillas, and even drug addicts.

Instead of minimizing the bleeding in the Graveyard, they paid with their lives.

If all this I am experiencing now is karma, it would be karma.

But even if it meant accumulating more karma on top of that karma, I couldn’t stop now.

Chizijik.

Werner threw the fully burned cigarette butt out the window.

Anyway, tomorrow was the day I had to return to Forbidden Lake.

There was a lot to find out about the organization called the Revolutionary Front, and there were a lot of things to prepare to destroy that much of an organization.

‘Besides… There were also new recruits.’

Now is the time to start putting it into practice.

Now that we have a new member called the Security Strategy Bureau, we have no choice but to take care of them as well.

There was a lot of work to do.

Unlike the empty mind.

The next day.

Werner Grime and Karin Maven returned to the Safety Bureau aboard the High Command’s helicopter.

It was two weeks later when news came that Diane Schmidt had safely infiltrated the Revolutionary Front.
