I’m Going to Destroy this Country

In the end, in response to Isaac’s seemingly irresponsible words, Kina looked at him as if he was pitiful.

“You have no thoughts, Eshua. You said it’s for training purposes.”

In response to Kina’s disappointed scolding, the faces of the team members brightened.

“Yeah, Kina! Say something…”

“If you’re going to train, you have to take me with you. Why did you remove me from the team list?”

In response to Kina’s serious gaze, the team members tore at their hair.

Ah… what a mess!

This team is doomed!!!!

“No! Don’t give up! There are still paladins left!!”

“Yeah! Among the remaining paladins, there was a top-ranking squad!”

The Blue team members opened their eyes wide and looked at where the knights were gathering.

The knights mobilized for the Gold Pentagon were mostly second-rank knights. They had a reasonable amount of practical experience, were knowledgeable about external circumstances, and were optimal for escorting apprentices.

Most of them had already signed contracts, but there were still four groups of knights who hadn’t.

One of them was the first group, favored by everyone. Being the imperial knights, they were highly skilled and popular. Since they had a commander and offered good conditions here and there, they hadn’t signed a contract with the Gold Pentagon yet.

The second and third groups consisted of average second-rank knights.

Surprisingly, the fourth group had incredibly genius high-ranking paladins famous in the Empire…

‘Absolutely avoid signing a contract with them.’

‘We must avoid them at all costs!!’

That’s because the members of the fourth group, despite having the best skills, detested priests horribly. They were individuals who didn’t care even if priests died during a mission.

In fact, they had a record of abandoning escort missions for priests during dangerous situations and returning without caring about the priests.

As escort knights, they were the worst possible opponents. Their preference rating was the lowest.

‘Why did those guys end up here is a mystery.’

Judging from their faces, they seemed to have been forcibly dragged here.

“Anyway, the first group! Definitely the first group…”

But then, something unexpected happened.

“Ah! The Gold team took them!”

But even more surprising was the fact that what connected to that first group of knights was…

“Isn’t that Molech’s father?! It’s Count Molech!”

“Molech? The Molech from our team?!”

It was the one referring to Molech, who had tried to betray Shuri in and had been knocked unconscious by Isaac when he tried to expose Isaac’s deeds to the Saintess.

“But why is our team member doing something good for the Gold team?!”

In response to that question, laughter was heard as if to answer.

“Why? It’s because it’s my team that I’m joining.”

“Molech!”

Appearing with Count Molech, he looked at Isaac and Shuri with a smirk.

“So, you should have betrayed me during .”

“What?!”

Count Molech, appearing with his son, smirked while looking at Isaac.

“It seems that the Blue has made a bad decision. It wasn’t wise to send my son there just based on the past reputation.”

Isaac looked at him as if asking, ‘What is this guy?’

“I’m sorry, but my son and his friends decided to leave the Blue team and join the Gold team.”

Ah, so he connected them to the first group and put his son in that team?

The Papacy must have approved it.

Well, it seems like Count Molech has become the main source of money for the Gold team.

Actually, Molech was fluttering around the Gold team. He seemed to be responsible for all the security at the Gold Pentagon.

Well, it seemed like quite a powerful noble family.

Inciting the nobles to create public opinion.

But Isaac just smirked.

“Count, you’ve misunderstood. If we succeed and come back, you’ll be in deep trouble.”

Count Molech sneered at Isaac.

Probably because this was a paladin family whose strength was greater than their brains.

“Is that possible? All the nobles are preparing for the Blue’s funeral.”

He seemed to be looking forward to it. He took away the team members from the Blue team as if he was expecting it. In an instant, as the number of people decreased, the remaining Blue disciples clenched their heads.

“Damn it! If this is the case, the next best thing! We have to pick from the second group, or even the third is fine!”

“Just not the fourth!”

Soon, the leader shouted.

“Teams that haven’t signed contracts with paladins, come out!”

“Ah, I’ll take care of it and come back. Just trust me.”

The team members looked at Isaac with anticipation.

“Oh, yeah! The direct power of the Blue!”

“Yeah, second and third groups! Let us live!”

Finally, as Isaac negotiated with the priests of the Papacy as if he were addressing the Pope, the priests opened their eyes wide and shouted.

“The Blue team has decided on the 4th group!”

The Blue team cheered.

“Yeah, that’s right! The 4th group…”

…Huh? The 4th group?

The whole banquet hall buzzed with confusion at those words.

The Blue team completely froze.

The 4th group?

So, the genius paladins from that group who hated priests terribly and abandoned missions during tasks?

While their skills were so desirable that anyone would covet them, it was a different story if they had personality issues. That group that nobody followed, that had problems in their character. The group that even the leader and the Papacy gave up on? Problematic?

“…Really?”

Isaac smirked.

‘I was wondering why they were called geniuses.’

Choosing the best paladins wasn’t as simple as picking someone with the eyes of a Demon King.

“The guy with the best skills, they say. Well done, right?”

Hey!!!
