13 Trap (1/2)

”A couple of minutes ago, the western continents Einder stronghold had just been activated.”

This was the report that had come all the way to the capital. The emperor who had heard of this immediately sent one of his elite troops to head there as soon as possible.

”If I'm right the commander of this mission should be the son of Duke Mark, he should at least be a competent young man, right?”

The emperor sent a questioning gaze towards Brian. Nervously, Brian nodded his head and answered.

”Yes, your majesty, he should be enough to deal with the current situation.”

”Regardless, I've got to praise the Duke of the South, his superb management of his territory, there are little to no qualms in the whole Southern Continent. If I recall Duke Gatsby Arcos's daughter should be reaching the age of adulthood soon, right? I think the third prince would do.” The emperor began to grin a little.

His right-hand man, on the other hand, was a bit startled. The emperor was clearly not only a genius at war, he was also a genius at political and internal affairs. He had once again witnessed the greatness of the one he is serving.

The Arcos family had recently become the most prominent noble family of the south because of the leadership of the current house head, Gatsby Arcos. He had not only managed to raise their household from near bankruptcy, he had also made his family reach heights unimaginable from the previous generation. Getting a man like that on the side of the emperor would be worth it.

It was also not that simple. Gatsby was hiding some of his achievements by controlling various nobles on his faction. From this, we can assume that he had controlled at least a quarter of the whole Southern Continent.

”Please forgive your humble servant for making a suggestion but, If I can recall, the Arcos family should be thriving recently. I think it would do them good if they were to also send some soldiers on the eastern front.” Brian then bowed his head but nervously, but unsurprisingly the emperor had the same intention.

”Putting that aside, What about the current situation in the Central Continent?” The emperor once again asked Brian.

”Millord we have already found a lead about the one who was spreading the flames of revolt. Apparently, a mercantile conglomerate had been starting these. We had already pinpointed the possible suspect and it should be the Golden Bullet Company.”

Brian had a very hard time telling this part of the information to the emperor as the name of the company was a huge arms dealer and had been giving the empire the top of the line military grade weapons.

Looking surprised the emperor then furiously ordered Brian to cease all dealings with the Golden Bullet and seize their possessions using the crime of treason as an excuse.

Seeing the emperor that furious Brian immediately gathered the soldiers to seize fifteen facilities that were owned by the Golden Bullet. There were three Research Laboratories, ten Weapons factories, and two large-scale warehouses that have been raided within the hour.

Surprisingly, the owner of Golden Bullet Company was nowhere to be seen. ”Tch, to actually got away.” Brian clicked his tongue.

On the Western Continent, however, Stan had been suppressed by the sheer number of the empire's troops. He then started creating numerous shadow clones to distract the enemies while.
