chapter 58
The trap I created was simple.
A method of leaving a minimum number of skeletons guarding the outskirts of the safe zone, hiding all the remaining skeletons in a specific area, and then deploying a lot of large skeletons to lead an attacker to a specific area by sacrificing large skeletons.
They may not have known it, but the moment the first large skeleton is destroyed, an algorithm is designed so that all other large skeletons in the vicinity of that large skeleton, except for the large skeleton in the direction of the trap, are flattened to the floor.
Of course, the attacker was naturally guided by the trap, constantly smashing large skeletons that were easily visible.
“Anyway, it’s surprising that there are only two of them.”
The reason I planned this trap was to make sure I caught them.
Since I don’t know how many of them they are and how much power they have, I wasn’t sure that I could catch them 100% just by attaching an S-class escort to the reclaimed unit.
But after catching them, it’s a bit surprising that there are only two of them.
From what I’ve seen there, it looks like it’s S-class, not SS-class.
“Anyway, if you interrogate, you’ll find out.”
Even if I look like this, I’m quite familiar with torture.
Forcibly activating the pain sensation and adding illusion magic to it can make you feel extreme pain even though there is no external wound.
There are really only a handful of people who have endured this torture to the end so far, so wouldn’t at least one of the two be able to take care of themselves?
Skeletons finally began to appear after flying for a long time, excited at the thought of torturing the disturbers.
“Footcha.”
I came down lightly in front of those who couldn’t move because they were overpowered by the skeletons and said with a smile.
“Nice to meet you, friends. Hello. Hello.”
Cheeky Chinese bastards.
Become a skeleton and serve me forever.
“ah. Let’s see your face before that.”
I need to find out which guild they are from and put those guild members on my blacklist.
That moment when he approached and took off the mask.
“uh?”
Of course, I thought there would be a yellow race, but the man under the mask was black.
A real native African who is also completely black.
“what. Aren’t you Chinese?”
Then he took off the mask of the man next to him, and he is also black.
I turned on my cell phone light and examined his face.
“Who are you? A face I’ve seen many times… Ah!”
It came to mind.
who is this guy
“Done!?”
The assailant was Dagan, whom President Chiamaca had introduced as the best Awakener in Central Africa.
*
Originally, I was going to torture him to get information and then kill him right away to make him a Death Knight, but when a local Central African person related to President Chiamaca came out, I tied him up and took him to the presidential palace.
“He said he never gave such an order.”
President Chiamaca waved his hand in bewilderment and continued to deny it.
“The one who accepted the land reclamation proposal is himself, so why bother?”
okay.
I thought it was strange too, so I came here quietly.
Originally, I thought it was an order from the president, so I tried to lead the undead army and advance to the presidential palace, but no matter how much I think about it, the president has no motive to do this.
So, with the intention of checking first, I ordered a three-way meeting… Really, isn’t it?
“Besides, if he had intended to be hostile to Chairman Han like this, he would have accepted the skeletons’ bodyguards, wouldn’t he?”
That’s right.
Because no one in the world entrusts their safety to the enemy.
“It’s not really this.”
“It is said to be true. If this was the case, I would have rejected the land reclamation proposal itself, and they are asking me if I would dare to bring them here and turn SS-class awakeners into enemies.”
It is true that it is difficult to think of Chiamaca’s actions as someone who is trying to upset me.
Then Chiamaka points a finger at Dagan and says something.
“What do you mean?”
“I’m urging you to quickly tell Dagan what the hell is going on.”
Then, Dagan, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth.
“They said they had no choice but to do it because they were threatened by China.”
“The Chinese threat? Hmm.”
My relationship with China is famous, so it’s a plausible reason.
In addition, since it is a Central African Republic with almost no Asians, it is inevitable for China to send its own awakened people.
That’s why they say they’re using the local Awakener by intimidating them…
“Do you not understand this?”
No matter how S-class it is, not SS-class, does it make sense that the strongest awakened person in a country would be stabbed in the back after receiving only a few threats?
Besides, all of the people who threatened me and sabotaged my business got drunk with just a few questions?
If this was going to happen, you should have just told me at the point you were threatened in the first place.
Then Chiamaca said with a furious expression.
“We are going to formally protest against China. No matter how great China is, they are getting angry saying that this is not the case.”
I thought about it for a while and said.
“If it is not really the President’s order, ask if I can interrogate these guys for a moment. No matter how you look at it, it seems like there are other reasons.”
As the interpreter relayed my words, Chiamaca startled.
“You say you’re trying to torture me?”
“Persuasion. Just with a bit of coercion?”
Then Chiamaca looked at me and hesitated, then dragged the interpreter and me into the next room and said in a low voice.
“Still, these two are the only two of them in the S class, so they ask if you can take care of the circumstances.”
what?
only two?
So you’re saying that those two are all S-Class Awakeners in Central Africa?
ah.
So that’s why you kept watching.
If there is a problem with them, Central Africa, which is very poor, has no ability to fill the gap.
I thought about it for a while and said.
“Then let’s do this. I will interrogate the two of you without hurting you. And if it’s really because of China’s threat and it’s not the president’s order, I’ll deploy two more A-class skeletons to the president, and I’ll protect them both from China at the same time.”
Is this okay?
If you keep talking about it even after saying this, it will just judge that Chiamaka is cheating and move on.
Fortunately, Chiamaca, who had been thinking for a while, nodded and said,
“I agree.”
It should have been.
After making an agreement with Chiamaca, I went back to the room where they were and put my arms around their shoulders and said,
“Come on, let’s go. Shall we have an in-depth conversation with each other?”
*
The forcibly activated pain sensation caused them to experience all the pain they felt for the first time in their lives, and those who had been struggling and crying in pain began to confess everything to the truth.
“Were you preparing for a revolution?”
It turns out that these guys were originally preparing to overthrow the government.
Under the judgment that if the two only S-classes join forces, it would be no task to bring down such a dictatorship.
So, Dagan approached first in order to win Chiamaka’s favor, and after grasping the situation with key figures in the government, he planned to overthrow it in an instant from inside and outside… It was me who suddenly appeared at that time.
“Chairman Han said that it was advantageous for President Chiamaca to be alive, and it was very difficult because he deployed three A-class bodyguard skeletons.”
It means that the SS-class Awakener who had a relationship with Chiamaka through the clearing was annoying.
He even deployed and protected his summons, so from the point of view of those dreaming of a revolution, it must have been literally lightning in the dry sky.
“But why did you suddenly mention China?”
Are you on bad terms with me?
Then Dagan shook his body and said.
“At that time, they said they received a call from an unknown person. If the land reclamation business is interrupted by monsters, there is a high probability that Chairman Han will lose interest and turn his eyes to other countries due to the nature of Chairman Han, who hates to be bothered.”
“Someone unknown. Is that China?”
“The only thing I had a bad relationship with Chairman Han was China, so I assumed that.”
So you’re saying that these guys used something that wasn’t certain as an excuse to hide the revolution?
But, well… Even if I think about it, the probability of being in China is over 90%.
By the way, Chinese guys say they have a lot of interest in Africa, so they have a lot of information?
How did you approach the revolution that even Chiamaca didn’t know about?
Anyway, now it all makes sense.
Somehow no matter how much I cleaned it, the S-class monsters didn’t come out.
“So you’re really saying that Chiamaca has nothing to do with it. Should I appease this?”
Then Dagan said in an urgent voice.
Then the interpreter was perplexed and said:
“uh······”
“why. What is it?”
The interpreter looked at me slightly and said.
“I would rather join hands with him and drive out the dictator Chiamaca. They say that if you drive Chiamaca out, they will give you a better deal than the existing contract.”
“hmm?”
Do you make a deal in this situation?
“The people are already moaning at the tyranny of the dictator for 30 years. At this time, they said that if Chairman Han became a savior, everyone would welcome him…”
I said with a smile.
“So, you are a good revolutionary and Chiamaca is a bad guy?”
“you’re right.”
“Tsk tsk. If you want to make a deal, try it before you get into an accident.”
At least it’s already too late
Besides, do you think I’ll be persuaded if I try the good and evil composition now?
“Tell me, you guys are worse than Chiamaca in my eyes.”
“I say no. They really say they are out for the people.”
“Are the people who say they are for the people pouring cold water on the largest investment project in the history of the Central African Republic?”
If a huge agricultural complex is established by clearing, the tax revenue from exporting crops from there will far exceed the existing Central African tax revenue.
Of course, it is obvious that Chiamaca will take some of the tax revenue and accumulate it as slush funds, but even taking that into account, this reclamation project is a must-have for the country’s development from the Central African Republic’s point of view.
However, these guys tried to destroy this business for the success of their revolution.
If you dreamed of a revolution only for the real people, you should at least not touch this business and find another way.
“Besides.”
I leaned over to Dagan and said.
“From my point of view, it’s much better without you guys. Do you know why? Without you, the only S-class, who would President Chiamaca rely on?”
Chiamaka tried to protect the only S-class as much as possible, but now the situation is completely different.
I tried to cover it up in the first place because I thought that my safety would be more guaranteed if they existed, but it turned out that they were preparing to oust me?
If so, I’m the only one Chiamaca can rely on for her safety.
At least I’m the kind of person who wants Chiamaca to stay.
From Chiamaka’s point of view, wouldn’t it be more reliable for me to take responsibility for safety as long as we maintain a solid business partnership rather than having unreliable awakened people next to us?
“ah. You can tell President Chiamaca exactly what I just said. It’s no different from an expression of my will that I intend to protect Chiamaca.”
I said with a smirk.
“Anyway, thanks to you, I had a hard time. Go to a nice place.”
*
Upon hearing all the facts, Chiamaca immediately put Dagan and his associates on trial for subversion of the state.
Of course, the judge who proceeds with the trial is also the one planted by Chiamaca, so the outcome is obvious.
“I say thank you very much.”
“What. Of course I have to help. Won’t my business go smoothly only when Central Africa is stable?”
Chiamaca was concerned about their vacancy, so I stepped forward and suggested three S-class skeletons.
Everyone speculated that I might have an S-class skeleton, but it’s a pity that this is the first time it’s officially appeared, but instead, the Central African Republic will never escape my grip, so this amount is worth investing in.
“Usually, use it as a bodyguard, but use it when a gate that requires an S-class Awakener appears. ah. And if you don’t want to do this, you can get on a helicopter and escape to the clearing. I placed a lot of skeletons there.”
In addition, the cleared land plays the role of a safety bunker for Chiamaka, making it even more perfect.
“Meeting Chairman Han is truly a blessing from God.”
“What else?”
Then Chiamaca said with a cold expression.
“By the way, I’m asking if you don’t need the corpse of an S-class Awakener.”
Will you give me the bodies of those two?
I shook my head and said.
“no. I never touched a human corpse. I never did.”
If it was a dead body no one knew, I would have used it without hesitation, but there are too many people who know about this situation right now, right?
Besides, now Chiamaca is angry and says that, but if I make them undead and run around, there is a 100% chance that they will feel repulsive towards me.
Because it was the same in Seron.
At the same time, it’s like giving Chiamaka the weakness that I turned people into undead, so this does more harm than good.
Well, if it was the SS rank, I would have tried to secure it even if it was a little too much, but the S rank is a waste, but there are alternatives, so I will pass it for now.
“Rather than that, there’s something else I want to ask you…”
I said in a quiet voice.
“Why don’t Asians enter Central Africa?”
I was swayed to this extent by only two S-class people, but it is obvious that this reclamation project will become very difficult once China decides.
So, you have to block entry altogether.
Anyway, since Central Africa is a country where tourism is hardly active, there is no big burden, so it is more suitable.
If this happens, it will be difficult for China to inject Awakeners carelessly.
Then, the only way is to bypass and invade another country, but Central Africa, with a land mass of more than six times that of Korea, is not a small country by any means, and Awakened people are also people, so they need to supply food, but that is possible only in the capital of Central Africa and its vicinity. only.
Of course, if an unauthorized Asian appears, it will be obvious, so there is no better way to catch a Chinese Awakener.
“As you know, didn’t China take the side of the revolutionary forces and give them advice? You don’t know when this will happen again, so you need to block it in advance. There is a chance that China will disguise itself as another country, so Asians simply reject all of them, regardless of nationality.”
There is no guarantee that China is certain, but it just pushes it like that.
At my words, Chiamaca nodded and said,
“I would like to know. In the future, we will completely stop issuing visas for Asians and issue visas only to Chairman Han and those who have received permission from Chairman Han.”
yes.
I hear you well.
nice, nice
So I’ll protect you from now on.
I said with a bright smile.
“President Ciamaca, let’s do our best in the future. Just do what you’ve been doing, don’t make me get scolded for doing something too harsh for no reason. Let’s see it thin and long. Did you know?”
*
“The buds have grown.”
I said with a thrilled expression at the agronomist’s words.
“Finally.”
After the revolutionary incident was over, I have been traveling back and forth to Korea to promote land reclamation projects.
And finally, it finally came to fruition.
Cotton seeds were sown by applying the farming algorithm devised by the Education Research Center to the land that had been dug and cleared, and it finally bloomed.
“Are the skeletons okay?”
“Very good. Working endlessly 24 hours a day, it’s to the point that weeds don’t even have time to grow.”
Weed removal is one of the most important tasks in farming that require a lot of labor.
However, how perfect is the skeleton as it roams the field without rest and removes all weeds in sight.
“It grows quickly because it receives nutrients from the fertile fertile soil.”
“How long will it take to harvest?”
“The seeds have just sprouted, so you should be able to harvest them in about 20 weeks.”
“Then 140 days? nice!”
At that level, it is possible to supply enough cotton before the cotton stock is exhausted, even considering the time it takes to ship to Korea.
“By the way, since this is a tropical region, cotton can be grown 365 days a year.”
“It is better.”
Rolling 24 hours a day, 365 days a year is the basic virtue of the undead.
“If you extract cotton oil from cottonseed here, you can earn additional income, so it’s even more perfect.”
“Oil? Do you make oil from cottonseed? Are you hearing this for the first time?”
“It makes. It is also the second most used food ingredient in the world. However, the reason why it is not well known is that it is usually mixed with other oils and distributed.”
Cotton is really nothing to throw away.
I said with a smile on my face.
“It’s good. Oh, and what about the other crops?”
Planting only cotton in this large land is a bit much, so I planted all sorts of crops as a test.
“Not all bad.”
“Please check that carefully. Maybe later we have to produce something other than cotton.”
Corn, soybeans, and other crops that could be sold to make money were overflowing.
“Anyway, I finally completely left China.”
Now, Seron is not affected by any sanctions from China.
why?
Because we built a system that is all self-sufficient.
In a word, from now on, even if I defeat China with peace of mind, China will not have the means to respond appropriately.
Of course, China may make a decision and restrict exports of other items and harass Korea… but at that time, you just have to come forward with public opinion.
That’s because the more Korea relies on taxon, the stronger the power of taxonomy.
Then, the only card left for China is covert force.
I said with a smirk.
“I hope you don’t mess with the farm and send an assassin.”
At least to the SS rank.
Because that is the best gift for me.
In any case, we leave the gift of China for later pleasure and focus on business for now.
“ruler. Now there are no obstacles, shall we keep running?”
