Genius Warlock - Episode 218
Back Port).
A small port town near Landa, like Weinham..
The difference was that Weinham was to the south of Landa and Bagport was to the northeast, on the coast..
ah… ..there was one more difference.
Weinham succeeded in self-reliance thanks to local manager Domhnall Masson, but Backport's economy was completely dependent on Landa..
What currently supports the economy of Backport are small trading companies, canning companies, and seafood processing companies built with the investment of Landa capitalists..
Of course, there were good businessmen among them, but there were also, of course, not so good businessmen..
For example, the directors of crime firms.
They invested quite a bit in backports, pooling their money for smuggling routes and factories to manufacture their business items..
"But the business was taken over by a gang..”
The head of the Crime Firm branch in charge of the Backport branch spoke to Oliver..
Due to a recent incident, he had dark circles around his eyes and his hair was disheveled, giving him a rather haggard appearance..
“What is the specific area that needs to be recaptured??”
Although information had already been received from both Crime Firm and Forest, Oliver asked to confirm..
This mission was not Oliver's personal mission, but a test for the fighter crew. I couldn't neglect anything.
Above all, the role of leader was his..….
Personally, I had doubts about whether I would be able to carry out the duties of a captain well, but I planned to do my best regardless..
Whether he wanted it or not, this was Oliver's job and promise..
The Back Port branch manager stood up and pointed to the area marked on the Back Port administrative map installed on the office wall..
"This is Port Area 3, the small factory behind it, and this part of the warehouse area. There are smugglers and small-scale production facilities..”
It was consistent with the information Oliver received, and what he said was sincere..
“What is the identity of the gang??”
The Baekport branch manager took documents from the cabinet as if he had been waiting. Even though he looked tired and haggard, he seemed to be the type to do the work systematically..
"It's a foreign gang alliance..”
"A foreign gang.?”
"yes. Several foreign gangs such as Galcia and Yulate. The Galcia gang is in charge, but it was originally a small-scale gang that was merely a subcontractor to us. Things like expenses or errands... .. But when this guy showed up, he bared his teeth at us..”
The branch manager pointed to a black and white photo in the file..
In the photo, there was a man with wild short hair and a beard..
"François Lago, from Millieu..”
"What is Millieu??”
Oliver asked innocently. The Baekport branch manager asked back in confusion. It was said that he was definitely the quickest problem solver in Landa..
“Don't you know what millieu is??”
“Yes, can you please explain??”
Although Baekport Branch Manager was embarrassed, he remembered Branch Randa's words to cooperate as much as possible since he was a precious person..
"You can think of it as Galcia’s Crime Firm. However, rather than businessmen like us, we are closer to warriors. Because it has its roots in thieves, robbers, and fallen nobles. Thanks to this, although it is not systematic, its combat power is quite high..”
Oliver nodded, storing the new information in his mind. He might use it later.
“One day, he came here with his men and mixed with the Galcia gang, and then gathered together the small, scattered Galcia gangs and formed a group. Now, they have expanded their size by attracting other foreign gangs..”
"And then they stole the place of business..”
“yes… .. They threatened to take over the business if I handed over the city's prostitution business to them. At first, we tried to resolve it among ourselves... There aren't many troops deployed here, and the foreign guys are too fierce... . Even if you try to request it from a different region, it may attract unnecessary attention...…."
The Baekport branch manager hesitated and began to recite his situation in detail. The emotion of asking Oliver for help shone through..
“hmm.… . I have no say in the crime firm as I am just an employee, but would you like me to tell you what the branch manager said when I report to you later??”
A blush appeared on the face of the haggard Baekport branch manager..
"Well, thank you then..”
"All right. I'll tell you.”
"thank you..… . Do you have any further questions??"
“doesn't exist.”
Oliver answered briefly. It was exactly what he had been told by Crime Firm and Forrest before he came here. Now was the time to get to work..
"So, when are you going to take them down? If necessary, we will also join you..”
"Now.”
"yes?”
“Right now. I learned that the faster the surprise attack, the better. And you don't need help.”
“Help me... ..There is no need.?”
"Yes, I am not ignoring favors. However, since it is a kind of test, I think it would be better to do it among ourselves... . By any chance, do you have any problems??"
Oliver turned his head back and asked a question..
Standing behind Oliver with their hands clasped were the three members of the fighter crew: Joe, Sam, and Owen..
They shook their heads as if they had made up their minds..
"doesn't exist.”
"Well then, no problem... .. Branch manager. If you don't mind, could you please guide me to port area 3??”
***
A few minutes later. The four men, Oliver, Joe, Sam, and Owen, piled into a chauffeured vehicle and traveled to the port area of Backport 3, which was occupied by a foreign gang..
This place, which serves as a dock for fishing boats and a smuggling route, was said to be crowded with people every morning, but it was now dark, perhaps because it was night..
Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….
The car slowed down and stopped..
Oliver got out of the car, followed by Joe and the others..
The Baekport branch manager who followed as the driver asked Oliver with a worried expression..
"Are you really okay with it going on like this??”
"Yes, the goal is not to simply hit and run, but to eliminate the enemy, so there seems to be no need to wait. I'll return on my own when I'm done with work..”
The Baekport branch manager had nothing to say at such a calm remark..
They say that just four people will take on a gang of over a hundred members..
However, his reaction wasn't that strange. He was just a country gangster who mainly operated in this small town..
Strictly speaking, it was Landa who was strange..
As a result of the city agreement, there has been an overflow of superhumans who surpass humans and can wield weapons-level power such as tanks and cannons..
Honestly, it was a crazy city. It was such a great city, though..
"Oh, I see..”
"Oh right. Is it really okay to not worry about the police or anything like that??”
“Yeah, you don't have to worry about that. With Randa’s support, I took some medicine… . At least you don't have to worry tonight."
Oliver nodded and thanked me for leading the way..
The branch manager also wished good luck and drove back the way he came..
After confirming that the car had left, Oliver looked at the warehouse at the port..
It looked like an ordinary warehouse, but it was said to be the head of the Crime Firm Backport branch's business..
The good news was that it was not responsible for important functions such as storage or production of stolen goods, so there was no need to worry about damage..
Oliver asked.
"everyone. How many people can you see??”
"About eighty people. I also see a few magic users..”
Joe, who narrowed his eyes, answered as the representative. His answer was clear.
very good.
When Oliver trained his fighter crew, the only thing he paid attention to in addition to combat was their eyes..
Although it does not have direct power, it can be used in many ways, such as understanding the other person's emotions, numbers, and location by using the eyes, but surprisingly, many people do not pay much attention to this part..
So, Oliver trained the eyes of the fighter crew members who had acquired some basic knowledge of extraction and combat..
If you can't decide, even if you force emotions into your eyes..
Naturally, Joe, Sam, and Owen had their eyes strengthened to some degree. Although it was a bit dangerous.
“How do you see Sam and Owen??”
"I'm similar too.”
"So do i. Mr. Dave.”
After hearing the answer, Oliver focused his attention on his eyes..
Happily, as Joe said, about eighty people showed emotions, and among them there were magic users with quite a lot of magic power..
In particular, the magic user on the upper floor of the warehouse was the most noticeable..
"The branch manager said that François is a very good magic user. Where does Sam think he is??”
Sam pointed to the top of the warehouse without any hesitation. His confidence in his own eyes and abilities was evident..
"It's right there. Vitality and magic power stand out the most..”
"I also think the same way. Well, now that we know the status of the enemies, shall we get to work... .. As you know, this is also a test, so I will not participate in the battle as much as possible. You are on your own..”
Everyone, including Joe, nodded. There were no complaints whatsoever..
Oliver had said several times that he would do this before and after receiving the mission, so he was determined..
Rather, I just feel grateful to Oliver for helping me to this extent... .. Although I got beaten up a lot during training..
When Oliver gave the signal, Sam was the first to move..
Having trained intensively in the firearms field, he competed head-to-head with Oliver in firepower every day, allowing him to use black magic as a full-fledged skill rather than as an aid to firearms..
As if to prove it, Sam naturally extracted emotions from a test tube and used targeting at key locations where people were gathered. very skillfully.
It was the original black magic taught by Oliver. When he first learned it, he did not understand why he was learning it, but when Oliver explained the effects and how to use it, Sam learned it harder than anyone else and made it his own..
It's a black magic that makes it easier to hit the target... .. Depending on how it was used, it could be more fatal than anything else..
The black emotions turned into fog and moved in the form of waves to reach the target..
Multiple dartboards on the exterior wall of the building.
Sam made Ra's Boom. Not as fast as Oliver, but pretty fast casting speed.
Without stopping there, Sam put a black javelin on top of it and threw it..
Head towards the boss above the warehouse..
Like a flash of black light, the Black Javelin flew quickly and hit its target precisely, piercing through the wall and exploding inside..
Bang 1!!
An explosion occurred inside the building. The walls bulged and crumbled like rotten tin cans..
As the target's emotional state did not disappear, it seemed as if he had not died, but as his vitality was weakened and his emotions were also tinged with confusion and embarrassment, it could be expected that he had suffered considerable damage..
It was the same for other gangs in the building..
"fountain!”
"okay!”
Sam responded to Joe's shout, extracted multiple emotions with both hands, created five lath booms at the same time, and then added black darts on top of them..
It stuttered a bit, but it has grown tremendously compared to the beginning..
"Shoot! get ready.”
Sam fired a black dart that fed a rage bomb with him..
The black blade drew a trajectory and flew towards the building, and Joe and Owen each imbued their bodies with black magic and ran towards the building..
bang!! Quagwagwang-!! pop-!
As soon as the black dart touched the building, another explosion occurred, and the foreign gangsters, who had not yet figured out what was going on, were even more distraught and screamed..
And, taking advantage of that opportunity, Owen broke down the door with a huge iron club and entered the building, while Joe jumped by focusing the power of the black suit on his legs. He leapt to the upper floor of the building and broke through the wall to get inside..
It was the beginning of a full-scale test..
