Chapter 135 - 132 Defeated and Victorious (1/2)
Hello everyone!!
Sorry, yesterday as it was the end of the month I was very busy at work and I couldn't upload the chapter.
Thank you all for reading SES and all your comments, this is a moral motivation that drives me to keep writing! Another motivation, although somewhat materialistic, but necessary, is the support of all of you in my p-a-t-r-e-o-n, so if you like the novel and want to read advanced chapters, hope you can and I invite you to visit it!
*******.com/Drack21Is seems that WN is baned the word (p-a-t-r-e-o-n), so ”*******” is (p-a-t-r-e-o-n) without ”-”

After Hirano gives me the report that his mission was complete, I send him to rest, he probably has a lot to think about to clear his mind. I do not regret having chosen him to do this, as I had said, he was the most qualified person to carry out this task.
Also, while is true this was not a test or something like that, now I know that I can trust him to do other important tasks… well, to do that he would first have to clear his mind a bit, so it would be best if he spent some time with Asami. That will surely help him to forget this.
But honestly, I think it's better if he gets used a little bit to things like these. Can life in this world is no longer as simple as before, so if he doesn't have a strong mentality, then he most likely has to experience some tragedy because of it.
Putting the Hirano issue aside for now, thinking about it. Both father and son died on my orders ... maybe I can earn a bad Karma for this... no, I think I did many people a favor by doing this and so I would have to acc.u.mulate positive karma, right?
Well... at least it should stay neutral and don't will increase or decrease... maybe.
Unfortunately for that politician, his usefulness became much less and now he was more of a nuisance than anything else, so it was best to remove him from the game board. Besides, the new piece that would come to the play is more in my control and also it is no longer perform an important role, it will be more representative.
Also, there is the other couple of father and son. If things turn out as I planned, then their fate won't be much different than the other two... well, one already did.

Sometime after Hirano left, Gloterus re-enters with a smile on his face, apparently the things went smoothly and he was able to carry out the next plan.
”We're done with our part, boss Alexander. Now it only remains to be seen what the other group does.”
”Well, that group had already almost completely lost their influence and power... they couldn't even consider as a faction now. Further now with this, they will most likely end up disappearing from Kinato”
Gloterus confirms my assumptions and I also show him a smile as I speak to him... that colonel's faction will no longer long linger now. Although there is still a chance he might try to attack us out of desperation, if he does the risk now wo n't be much and will only give me the pretext to crush him and take them down even faster.

(POV- Colonel)
After our expedition to the city of Urachi, the things only were getting worse more... no, maybe that started from the moment I met that lad.
Well, I can't blame him for what happened in that city either, after all, it was my decision we go there to that hell ... yes, that was no longer a city and only could be described with my previous word.
At first, nothing seemed out of the ordinary and the only problem was that the number of zombies that we could be seen were many. But this was something expected and also having fought with them in the village that is now the camp, we thought they did not pose a great threat as long as we only fought against acceptable numbers of them.
The idea was to find a target with a big amount of resources, quickly loot it and then come out the same way. Also, we would look for a place that was not deep inside the city...
Unfortunately, perhaps our ambition was too much. The places on the edge of the city did not have a great number of resources, so in the end, we had to go a little deeper into what seemed to be wineries of some company dedicated to selling grain.
The next day of observing and looking for a place to loot, with that objective as the goal, we thus advanced there with the more than 3,000 men it had brought.
The first thing we did was try to clean up any zombies that were in the place and then keep away those who came after us with our weapons while we took things from here.
So when we were doing this, I can realize that things about zombies had changed a lot compared to when we fought in town. It didn't take us long to discover that there were zombies with different appearances than the normal ones and that those possessed abilities far superior to the others.
Maybe if we had retired when I saw that, then the things may not be so bad now. But it was a pity that we underestimated them ... even though these were more dangerous than the other zombies, seeing that they still fell for our weapons we decided to continue with our objective.
Also, at that time although there were some deaths of some men, the antidote that that boy gave us turned out to be effective and prevented those who were injured from turning into zombies.
At least I have to thank that the boy has not scammed us with this, otherwise, the number of deaths for which I am responsible would be even higher.
We thought that we had succeeded in taking control of the place and we only had to resist some time while we continued trying to fill all the cargo trucks that we had brought with the resources of that warehouse, but then... the nightmare occurred.
Suddenly a large amount of the strongest zombies began to arrive and opened its way through the bullets of our weapons to get to us.
Seeing this, the group of civil people we just recruited were the first to panic and fall out of control... they left their places and started trying to run for their lives, so the soldiers seeing this did not take long to imitate them.
Seeing the chaos of our group we were only left with the option to withdraw, but even doing so cost us to spill a large amount of blood to get out of that hell.
That expedition was a complete failure and because of this upon reaching Kinato, since most of the men who survived knew that this group was finished or perhaps they thought that it could lead them back to disaster again... they left.
It was all over for me... what dream of rebuilding the country? Or making it stronger? All that could only be kept that way, a dream. Hahaha, how could I achieve that if I couldn't even keep control of my subordinates? In the end, it seems like I wasn't made to do something like that...
Now with each passing day the men who still follow me, some still decide to abandon me and join the group of that brat... at first my hatred for that boy only increased with each thing that did not go as I planned, but I don't even have the energy to do something like that more… besides, part of me knew that what he did was not wrong since I would have done the same if I were in his place.
I also wanted to take control of their camp, but unfortunately, I couldn't do it and I was the one who lost in this fight… it's probably only a matter of time before this group disappears.
”Colonel! Colonel!”
”Hmn? What's wrong?”
Suddenly a soldier enters my office while shouting, you could see concern on his face, so it's probably more bad news. What will it be this time? More men left? Another person who complains to me about the people who died in Urashi? Is the meal over? Well, whatever it was no longer matters...
”E-emmm... Shido was killed... recently the news that someone shot him and ended his life was released by his assistant Arata”
”Hahahaha, so that bald rat of Shido is dead? I thought that I would be the first one that this boy would eliminate, but who would have thought that that fat bald man would die first? Surely the very fool was still thinking that he could take control of Kinato, no, probably his Ambitions did not end there, but for us two, all that was left in simple illusions.
Hahahaha fine, at least I have the pleasure of being able to laugh for that fool before it's my turn, maybe I should thank the boy for that. ”
