Chapter 720 - Esdeaths Secret Weapon (1/2)
Five days.
It was the time that was used by Esdeath along with her special squad to clean up the way from Gastrea to Osaka to Hakata.
Esdeath and her group had arrived before at the Kanmon Straits.
The Kanmon Straits is the stretch of water separating Honshu and Kyushu, two of Japan's four main islands.
They needed to cross over this strait before they could arrive in the Hakata Area.
The governor of the Hakata Area who received the news about this matter was startled since they didn't expect the operation which had just started five days ago to almost succeed.
Haru who was on the other's side also started his annexation process. He asked for the Hakata Area to help him to clear up the sea area so the two areas could connect to each other as soon as possible.
But as expected the reaction of the governor of Hakata Area was quite obvious, even though he had promised to become a subordinate of Osaka Area, but it was just a verbal talk and there was no way that he would agree to give his authority to Osaka Area.
Haru also had expected such a result and didn't give the governor of Hakata Area mercy and just killed him using black material that he had investigated in the past days then published it using ”WIRED” while also telling his subordinates who was blending on Hakata Area to spread that information.
His intention was to destroy the image of governor of Hakata Area while also causing him to lose the support of the masses.
Haru also started to start his speech once again to denounce the action of the governor of Osaka Area.
”Our intention has always been to clear up this land from Gastrea and to make sure everyone who lives in this country can live without worry.”
Haru's expression turned sad and said, ”But some people have always been selfish and they put their own interests first rather than people's interests.” He slammed his fist on the table and shouted, ”We can't let this evil governor become a governor once again! We need to be united! We need to fight together against the enemy of mankind not to fight against each other!”
”Governor! We have always supported you!”
”Damn, Governor of Hakata Area!”
”Governor of Hakata! Hurry up and step down from your position!”
Everyone had always been supporting Haru as the leader of the banner of ”Unification Day”, and they thought that every governor would support him, but they didn't expect that there was a governor who was very selfish and decided to refuse the unification of the country.
Everyone became angry, the Osaka people shouted supporting Haru and some people also said that Haru should punish the governor of the Hakata Area.
The people of Hakata Area who also heard that the governor of Hakata Area decided to refuse to connect both Osaka and Hakata also became very angry, especially after they read a lot of dark information about the governor of Hakara Area from ”WIRED” along with the news which was being published in the newspaper.
Everyone wanted to live together in this land free from Gastrea, but some selfish people didn't want to support it.
At that very moment, the people in Hakata Area were very angry, the JSDF, police, and even Civil Security also denounced the governor of Hakata Area telling him to step down from his place while also letting them help the army of Osaka Area who had worked hard to clear up the area to connect both Osaka and Hakata.
Hakata Area turned into chaos, and there were two factions that appeared in the Hakata Area.
One faction supported the current governor of the Hakata Area, and the other faction supported the governor of the Osaka Area who wanted to unite this country.
Both factions were fighting each other, and Haru's people who had joined the chaos poured oil into a fire making the situation more chaotic.
The governor of Sendai, Sapporo, and Tokyo was shocked at how swift the governor of Osaka was to connect both areas, but they were more shocked at how the governor of Osaka was able to make the majority of people in Hakata Area into his people.
They didn't understand it, but if the governor of Osaka was really successful in uniting the two areas then the next target would be them.
---
”Governor, are you really going to go to Hakata Area?”
”Please don't do anything dangerous!”
”Let Commander Esdeath clear up the sea area first!”
Everyone was very worried when they heard Haru was going to Hakata Area right away, and after seeing the power of Esdeath, they felt that Esdeath was very reliable commander for an army made them feel that this operation would succeed without trouble, but of course, they thought that the process would be quite hard since Esdeath needed to cross over the Kanmon Straits which was known as the fierces of the country.
Saitake who was by their side was being ignored making him quite angry, but also helpless since his authority had been stolen by him by Haru and there was nothing that he could do.
”All of the people in our are fighting to connect both Osaka and Hakata, how can I be standing here in a safe place while my wife is going to fight against a group of dangerous Gastrea on the sea!” Haru had a serious expression on his face and said, ”If my wife has her own fight, then I also have my own fight! I need to bring justice to the governor of Hakata Area who has done evil to his people!”
Everyone was moved by his words, but then they tried to stop him again, however, it was useless.
