Chapter 14-1
Spray it wide and thick. That way the fire will catch easily.
Understood.
Condors subordinates and hired mercenaries spread oil everywhere and prepared to set the fire.
Their plan was to turn half of the territory into a sea of flames, causing chaos and disorder.
But
We got them! These guys!
Where are they?
The soldiers of the Iota territory who were lying in ambush attacked Condors subordinates and mercenaries.
Kill them!
You b**tards!
Small-scale battles began to break out all over the territory, between those who wanted to set the fire and those who tried to prevent it.
Ort territory residents came out one by one to see the sudden commotion, and were shocked when they witnessed the fighting.
Those who wanted to set the fire were once Condors allies, while those who tried to stop them were soldiers of the occupied Iota territory.
Whats going on?
Why is it so loud?
Can you guys be quiet for a momenthuh?
The residents of the Orth territory were astonished.
They couldnt believe that Condor, whom they didnt particularly admire, was trying to turn the territory into a sea of flames.Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com
In the meantime
Arrest complete! Cease combat!
We have also completed the arrest here!
Condors subordinates and mercenaries were one by one subdued by the soldiers of the Iota Territory, arrested, and taken away.
This, this cant be happening
Condor was in despair as even the arson mission had failed.
It was all over.
In this operation, he had lost all his subordinates and even the hired mercenaries.
There were no more troops to be drawn.
In addition, even the temporary camp was burned down.
Now, Condor was alone.
Get him!
Theres Condor!
And
We were just paid to participate in the mission. And Conder promised to pay us half of this territory as the reward.
The leader of the mercenaries who participated in this mission disclosed the contract that Conder and the mercenaries had agreed upon.
Selling off the territory?
What a jerk! Can he sell off our land even if he were the lord? Who would allow him to sell off our homeland!
Such a traitor!
The people of Orth were furious at the disclosure.
They could understand other things, but they could never tolerate Conders attempt to turn territory into a sea of flames and give more than half of it to the mercenaries.
That was not all.
The contract also included a clause to sell half of the people in the territory as slaves.
In the aftermath of the additional revelations, the anger of the Orthean people reached its peak.
Yes, lets say we understand taking over more than half of the territory.
But trying to sell half of the Orthean people into slavery to pay for the contract was an unforgivable atrocity.
An Orth territory is like a small kingdom.
Who would dare to make their own citizens into slaves?
That son of a b*tch!
He didnt love us! He treated us like objects!
That b**tard!
Who gave him the right to make us into slaves?
The rage of the Orthean people pierced the sky, and as a result, Condor completely lost their support.
He lost their temporary base.
He lost their troops.
Now, even their greatest asset, public support, was lost.
Hehehe.
Otto watched with satisfaction as the Orthean people cursed Condor.
Thus, any hope of regaining Orthean territory was completely lost.
Since public opinion had turned against them, there was no way to turn the situation around, no matter what they did.
What happens next is whats important.
Otto knew very well that just because public support had left Condor, it didnt mean it would automatically come to him.
Especially at times like this, I need to do even better.
Otto immediately began to work on restoring public support.
