My Lucky Encounter From the Game Turned Into Reality - Chapter 93
The chance in the game becomes reality Episode 93
25. Taking a Step (2)
The strategy table had information and photos of the targets to be eliminated and the factors that had already been eliminated printed on paper and laid out in a complicated manner.
In a world where holograms created using three-circle magic called imaging were commonplace, paper was rather a rare commodity, but the commander of the Revolutionary Army preferred paper that allowed him to examine data by touching it with his own hands, even though he was an archmage.
I didn’t particularly insist on using paper because I’ve never felt uncomfortable using holograms, but it didn’t seem like a bad thing in that I could look at the data intuitively.
-Poof. Swish.
I picked up the document of State Affairs Commission Chairman Garcia, who was almost at the top among the agents to be eliminated, and typed an X with my hand.
Then, the paper was colored red and the fact that the target had been removed was written.
Garcia, Chairman of the State Council.
I felt uncomfortable the last time we met, but it wasn’t enough to kill me.
So I felt sorry for killing him, but that only lasted for a moment.
He was a corrupt public official, and although the people were suffering from chronic poverty, instead of making efforts to improve it, he made great wealth by taking unfair profits as if he were plundering the people.
Considering the price of his sins, he was a person who deserved to die.
Since such a person was eliminated for the sake of the future of the republic, we should be grateful for his useful death.
‘It’s funny that you’ve already killed so many people and now you feel bitter about killing such a villain.’
My hands are already stained with blood.
There is no need to justify it.
He was an obstacle to the plan, so he was removed.
‘The immediate goal is to achieve the 8th circle by completing the next stage of the Giyeon quest, but the final goal is to form a power chain that can achieve the 9th circle by resolving all the Giyeon and lead a safe life.’
Therefore, in this process, he would have decided not to hesitate to kill others if necessary.
But why?
Does this make you feel this unpleasant?
It felt exhilarating when Anna and Cedric killed each other, and I didn’t feel anything when I killed the enemy Vanguard in the Territory Battle.
State Affairs Commission Chairman Garcia was also an enemy and a villain, and he is the cornerstone for the survival and enlightenment of this country’s 500 million people… I
myself could not understand the uncomfortable feeling that could not be easily calmed down.
-Sigh.
But then.
While I was looking at the situation board on my desk while feigning calmness, I felt someone grabbing my hand.
So I turned my head and saw Arcia staring at me with a unique expression.
[His family is also a sinner who enjoyed the wealth obtained through ill-gotten gains. There is no need to worry.]
That was telepathic magic.
It is a function of the artifact shared with her so that we can have constant conversations.
It was only after listening to her that I realized the cause of my unpleasant mood.
Even though I didn’t allow him to see it in person, killing my father in front of my family was what made me emotional.
“thanks.”
I placed my hand on Arcia’s shoulder, who accurately understood my situation and gave me appropriate advice.
I patted her shoulder and shook off unnecessary thoughts.
And I asked ‘Israeli Oscar Prius’, the commander of the revolutionary army.
“Are your contacts with Marshal Ansen going smoothly?”
As we stared at the situation board together, he looked at our incomprehensible behavior and asked if it was an act of affection.
“Yes, I made an appointment to meet tomorrow.”
“If I convince you, will they come over?”
“At least he is a person you can communicate with. Moreover, since I hate the current president and politicians so much, I think there is a good chance.”
“Fortunately, the.”
The Republic of Prius, which has currently blocked the possibility of a political solution, has only two options.
The first is to call for thorough resistance despite the disadvantages of the war with the Brigham Empire.
The second is to declare unconditional surrender to the Brigham Empire.
It’s extreme, but I can’t think of any other choice.
It won’t be easy to get help from other countries against the excited Brigham Empire.
It can be said that all is said and done as even the six countries of the Triton continent who are on good terms with the Republic have no choice but to decide to cut ties with the Republic due to the strong measures of the Brigham Empire.
In war, variables exist in any situation.
Therefore, if you call for thorough resistance, there is a possibility of victory against the Brigham Empire.
‘But the problem is that if you measure the probability of winning as a percentage, it will be infinitely close to 0%.’
In addition, if they were to be defeated in a thorough resistance, there was a high possibility that the Republic of Prius would not only be destroyed, but that the nation itself would disintegrate.
The Brigham Empire does not engage in wars of conquest easily.
Strictly speaking, this war was just a threatening protest meant to give up the opportunity, and its purpose was not the conquest of the republic.
However, the purpose of the war was changed by the stupid republic government.
In the meantime, if the Republic calls for thorough resistance, the purpose of the war will be the destruction and conquest of the Republic.
The Brigham Empire is very harsh towards countries it declares conquest.
First of all, all the people of that country are kicked out from their hometowns, completely eliminating any possibility of a comeback, and sent to the Emperor’s Territory in the polar region.
Although it was inhumane, it was the Brigham Empire’s way to show no mercy to those who were enemies.
Rationally, the only position the Prius Republic should take now is to declare unconditional surrender, no matter how much it has to lose.
“If we bring him in, the domestic situation will go the way we want.”
“That’s right. “It’s an agent assassination for that purpose.”
But will the current government declare unconditional surrender?
Not like that.
The government plans to call for thorough resistance.
If he declared unconditional surrender, his power would instantly become a bubble and his property would be confiscated and disappear due to the victor’s authority exercised by the Brigham Empire.
Therefore, the behavior of the current government and politicians was to insist on a thorough resistance and prepare to run away.
Therefore, the extreme choice of assassinating a key figure was taken to undermine the power of current politicians and the opinions of the government.
By breaking the power of the government, we will be able to clean up more easily when we bring in the military, including Marshal Ansen.
“The Marquis is greatly indebted to me. Honestly, I was surprised. “I didn’t expect you to be so good at gathering information.”
“I was lucky.”
“How can I express this as luck? “The Marquis seems to surprise people every time I see him.”
Since he was bound to be suspicious if he tried to help, I initially approached him with the goal of providing information.
And they were impressed by the quality of information I provided through Blue Moon and formed a deep relationship with them. As a result, I was directly involved in their events.
“I think it would be very reassuring if you could grace the occasion with Marshal Ansen when I meet him, but how is that possible?”
Moreover, some of my subordinates seemed uncomfortable because the Israeli commander seemed to depend on me.
[Relationship: Calculation / Alliance]
[Status: Observation / Favor]
But as Mangyeong, I knew that he was only using me.
However, there is no real loss in being taken advantage of.
So I just go along with his wishes.
“all right. “Let’s do that.”
“Haha, I feel reassured. “These friends all have the talent to protect something, but the problem is that they lack political sense.”
“They are people like that, so shouldn’t they be trustworthy? “No matter how much you share the same goal, it’s tiring if there are people who are too calculating.”
“Haha, that’s right.”
I think that a smart person would have understood what I meant.
It was a warning to keep the line even though we are together in the same spirit.
“I don’t know if I’m putting too much pressure on you.”
“You have to work hard to pay for what you get.”
“I’m just grateful that you think so.”
For your information, no matter how much I contributed to this situation, they are bound to be suspicious if I just help them for free.
So, in return for providing help through a contract with them, they are promised a lot of things.
In other words, if this situation is resolved amicably, a lot of money can be made.

When Adrian was working hard to assassinate a prominent figure with the revolutionary army.
The reason President Fairmont and his son Louis Fairmont (a fake actor) were left alone with the cart, which could be said to be the biggest catch, was because they could not touch it even if they wanted to.
The Presidential Palace where they were staying had an Auror Master and an Archmage stationed there, and 2,000 Vanguards and 10 Sky Fortresses were keeping tight watch, making it impossible to secretly infiltrate and assassinate them.
The reason the presidential palace is so heavily defended is not because of the ongoing assassination of a prominent figure.
This is because the president was a coward who feared his own life.
“His Excellency, Marshal Ansen has requested that half of the troops be sent to the front as the current forces are too much to defend the Presidential Palace.”
The defense force of the Presidential Palace was usually one-fifth of this number.
However, as soon as the war began, President Catro stole an entire strategic mobile corps from the ROK Army and assigned it to guard the presidential palace.
There was no way that a person who was so greedy and timid would accept such a request.
“Nonsense! “If the Brigham Empire turns its troops to take over the capital, won’t we die without a move?”
“Marshal Ansen will insist on direct confrontation due to the nature of the Brigham Empire, so don’t worry…”
“Stop! That request cannot be granted! These days, the assassination of leading rebels is in full swing, so they can’t believe they’re reducing the defense force! “This is not something a sane person would say!”
“Then how about having high-ranking officials and politicians stay at the presidential palace? “If we can at least dedicate all our forces to their security, it will be of great help to the war situation.”
“Ha, am I crazy?”
“yes?”
“Which of those people did you think would be a liaison for the rebels and let them into the palace? “You can never change the way the presidential palace is run.”
What on earth are you going to do?
The difference in power between them and the enemy is so great that they are at a loss. They cannot even join forces, but they act so uncooperatively when asked for military support for their own safety.
I wondered if this was really the action of someone who advocated a desperate struggle.
The officer in the situation room of the presidential palace who entered the presidential office to deliver Marshal Ansen’s message could not help but be embarrassed.
“Go, Your Excellency!”
“What’s going on with Secretary Koscha?”
And at that time, following the situation officer, a man from the Presidential Secretariat hurriedly entered the office.
The situation officer’s expression hardened as he wondered what had happened.
But what the secretary said next was shocking.
“Master Lewis would like to use the Square Hall of the Presidential Palace and would like permission.”
“Why Square Hall?”
“You want to host a party.”
Have you forgotten what the country is like now?
The situation officer frowned, but what was even more absurd was the President’s reaction.
“What party?”
“I would like to invite successors of major companies and provide an opportunity for exchange. “I think they are planning to bring in some celebrities to entertain them as a bonus.”
“Okay, tell him to do it.”
“yes?”
It was not the secretary who was surprised by the president’s permission and questioned it.
He was the situation officer who had come to deliver an urgent request from Marshal Ansen, who was dealing with the Brigham Imperial Army on the battlefield.
“what? Are you out yet? “Why don’t you go out and do some work?”
“Are you saying it’s a party while the war is in full swing?”
Anger appeared on the officer’s face.
The president flinched at that, but then spoke confidently.
“Is war free? What Lewis wants to do is not just a party. “It’s a negotiation to attract funds.”
That would be so cool.
The situation officer, who knew Lewis’s usual behavior well, bit his lip.
And even though he didn’t want to invite other politicians into the presidential palace, he said he would bring in a profitable businessman. The situation officer hoped that his reaction was a joke.
“There is nothing more to say. “You should just leave.”
“dismissal! “Please consider the situation on the front line a little more!”
“Uh-huh! “I have nothing to say, so get out! Isn’t war the responsibility of the soldiers?”
And the situation officer was kicked out of the office by the president’s bodyguards.
“it’s crazy.”
The situation officer’s hollow voice rang out in front of the presidential palace office.
“This is the end of me.”
