    #283. Internal crackdown 4

    As Comec said this was Azadin’s trap.

    Since Sedrin joined Azadin’s group Azadin no longer needed to use undead to run the mine.

    Sedrin cast a spell on potatoes and sweet potatoes using them as catalysts to summon root spirits who then used the vines to shatter the bedrock.

    This is an overwhelmingly fast work speed compared to the undead who break their limbs while digging the ground with pickaxes and shovels and have to be bandaged.

    In addition sweet potatoes and potatoes grow by obtaining nutrients from the soil.

    ‘Of course don’t eat it. You’re addicted to ginseng.’

    Sedrin warned those who would be tempted to eat potatoes or sweet potatoes that grow on the root vine spirit’s body.

    Even though they were far more efficient than the undead in every way the reason they were maintained was Azadin’s plot to weed out traitors.

    As soon as Comek took the bait and began his betrayal Azadin used the hippogriff to return first and then clear out the undead in the mines.

    “Comek. Why did you betray me?”

    “Don’t be ridiculous! Azadin! You didn’t trust me! There’s no reason for betrayal or anything like that to happen if you didn’t trust me.”

    “So. What was it about me that you didn’t like so much?”

    “I don’t like it at all! To a guy like you we’re just trash who threaten and bribe women?! You see us as trash don’t you?”

    In Comek’s eyes Azadin was a naturally talented person born with both good looks and overwhelming strength.

    What a happy and prosperous life they must have lived! Just thinking about it makes my stomach turn and I can’t stand it.

    “….”

    “why?”

    “Well come to think of it girls have been treating me well lately.”

    After taking off his mask as Camilla advised Azadin experienced firsthand the sudden increase in his popularity with women.

    Women who used to throw food waste or run away in fear when they saw Azadin now reacted completely differently.

    “Are you kidding me? Anyway that’s not the only complaint I have! I don’t know what you’re thinking!”

    “You don’t know?”

    “Isn’t it human nature to beat up others and covet money and sex if you have power? What on earth do you want to do?!”

    “virtue.”

    “Bullshit! That would obviously be hypocrisy!”

    Comek could not believe that goodness justice virtue or conscience existed in this world.

    His mother was a human who was only concerned with filling her own stomach even when her child cried out in hunger and his father was a pirate.

    To him who had never experienced human affection the world was a world of beasts.

    It was a hell where nothing was given to those who did not achieve what they wanted by force.

    So in his view Azadin was a monstrous being something that was impossible to grasp and forever incomprehensible.

    It’s dangerous if we don’t get rid of that guy somehow.

    It was because I felt that sense of crisis that I betrayed him.

    Of course it was on Azadin’s palm.

    “You have the brain to understand hypocrisy. Then let’s do that.”

    “what?”

    “My sincerity can never be proven with just my mouth. If so you can think of it as hypocrisy. I want to gain fame by being hypocritical and leave behind an immortal achievement in this world.”

    “what?”

    “It’s simple. No matter how delicious the sumptuous meal is there comes a time when your stomach gets so full that eating becomes a chore. It’s the same with holding a beautiful woman. I don’t know about those who are forever swayed by lust but those who find it easy to satisfy their lust will inevitably pursue values ​​that go beyond lust.”

    “Huh!”

    Comek was furious at Azadin’s arrogant remarks that stimulated his own inferiority complex.

    But that was why I could understand Azadin’s words.

    I don’t know if you’re as shallow as me and only interested in filling your own stomach but when your stomach is too full you pursue values ​​that go beyond what you understand.

    “Wouldn’t it be sad if we lived just to satisfy our lusts like animals and then died leaving nothing behind and being forgotten? Can’t you imagine wanting our existence to be worth remembering by others?”

    “….”

    Comek was confused by Azadin’s words.

    Why is this kid explaining that to me?

    Even if a traitor is executed on the spot no one will say anything.

    But why is Azadin explaining to him?

    “Are you going to save me?”

    “You made contact with Chashan? Take me to their hideout.”

    “but….”

    “You can get back faster than Jecht. You know that right?”

    “….”

    That’s right. If we use the Hippogriff to quickly return we can raid the hideout of the Chashan gang before it becomes known that the action to report Azadin was in vain before Lord Jecht returns.

    ‘But is that okay? If I remove the charshan…’

    Even as a stupid Comek he could tell that his own utility had disappeared.

    By defeating and taking under his command the Chadra Ogel Azadin had become a giant who had sucked in all the talents of the Chadra Plateau.

    Compared to those talented people Comek is just a useless thief.

    Moreover since he had betrayed them even if Azadin forgives him there is no way that Legion and Kalan will forgive him.

    “Promise me you won’t hurt me then I’ll guide you.”

    “It’s not my place to interfere but please don’t. Azadin.”

    Sedrin said yawning.

    “If we forgive the traitor he’ll think it’s okay to betray others too. Let’s just kill him and extract information from his body. Wouldn’t that be easier?”

    “!!!”

    After examining Azadin’s necromancy Sedrin realized that Azadin was a considerable sorcerer.

    It is not difficult to extract information from a corpse.

    It’s a terrible sorcery that causes pain to the souls of the dead but it will serve as a good example to such traitors.

    Even Comack was trembling in fear knowing how horrible that sorcery was.

    “You call me a hypocrite but can you trust my promises?”

    “If you break that promise it will tarnish your hypocrisy.”

    “Is that so? Everyone wants me to punish you? Will punishing you damage my reputation?”

    “that….”

    Comek was taken aback by Azadin’s words.

    It’s just as he said.

    Even if it were Comek’s position if Azadin forgives the traitor instead of punishing him he would rather badmouth Azadin.

    The stupid captain impulsively and excessively grants forgiveness without any regard for the hierarchy of the organization.

    Even if you are a hypocrite shouldn’t you consider the pros and cons of your actions?

    …But now that I am the target of that punishment my stomach starts to ache.

    “Tell me you believe me.”

    “what?”

    “Tell me that you trust me to keep my promise and I’ll spare your life.”

    “What is that…..”

    “You said I was a hypocrite. And if I make a promise to you you say I will keep it even if it means breaking the hypocrisy… Then believe that I will keep my promise to the end even if it means hypocrisy. Then at least you will know one thing about me. That I will not break this hypocrisy easily.”

    “….”

    Comek couldn’t understand Azadin.

    He found goodwill kindness justice and beliefs ridiculous and could not understand people who were motivated by them.

    I still can’t understand Azadin but I can now understand that there is at least something to trust in Azadin.

    “I will believe you.”

    “Okay then. I’ll spare you. Take me to Chashan.”

    “….”

    Sedrin sighed from behind.

    “Azadin. Why are you making a promise with such trash? Why don’t you cherish yourself a little?”

    “Is this such a big deal that I should care about my body?”

    “Be angry for yourself or those who love you will be angry instead.”

    “Are you getting angry for me right now?”

    Sedrin clicked his tongue.

    “Yes you idiot.”

    *********

    Chashan is not stupid.

    As soon as the Comet gang reported them they moved their safe house to another place.

    However they could not stop Azadin from invading their hideout.

    Azadin’s influence was already absolute in the Chadra Plateau and within that Chashan’s whereabouts were very noticeable.

    But Azadin still brought Milburo Komek with him… He brought him with him so that Chashan would see him and get angry.

    “Damn it! This stupid traitor!”

    Chashan and his dwarven sorcerers were furious when they found Cormek guiding Azadin’s men.

    “Just come in! I’ll show you why the red magic of the Dwarven Sorcerer is so scary!”

    “I will burn you to the bone!”

    The Chashan and Dwarven sorcerers were staking out the abandoned old Saturnian castle stockpiling supplies and supplies and barricading the entrance.

    Archers were stationed along the retreat and at the main gate Selim came in carrying a huge door that he had acquired from somewhere.

    The dwarven sorcerers attacked Selim with magic as they had warned.

    White magic flashed from the door Selim was holding repelling the red magic of the dwarven sorcerers.

    The door is reinforced with wood and iron and is immune to fire magic.

    The material itself is large and thick and it is also covered in protective magic so it is not easy to destroy it with magic.

    As Selim entered with his shield like that the dwarven sorcerers had no choice but to fall back.

    “Surrender Chashan! Our captain has something to ask you!”

    “You crazy little brat! You just fell for that messenger clan guy who just came to Chadra! Aren’t you ashamed you were also a Chadra Ogul? Not only did you break your horn but your dick was also broken!?”

    “There is no shame in entering the ranks of heroes! I am proud! His banner is my horn!”

    Chashan taunted Selim but Selim responded with fanaticism.

    “You’re really crazy! Damn it! Let’s die together!”

    When things did not go his way Chashan became indignant and tried to cast a powerful fire ring spell.

    In this narrow Saturn there was a possibility that he would die but he did not have the confidence to live with the shame of being defeated twice by the same opponent and taken prisoner.

    But as they cast their spell two eyeballs appeared on their roof.

    The half-vampire Niselda jumped down dressed as a nun and ambushed the Chashan gang.

    The consciousness of the Chashan gang was cleanly cut off and they were all torn to pieces.

    “Then I’ll kill you!”

    Comek was fidgeting.

    In fact Azadin didn’t necessarily need Comek’s help in finding the hideout of the Chashan gang.

    If you move from safe house to safe house without any reason in front of Azadin who has already taken control of Chadra’s talent pool you will just get caught.

    However in Chashan’s eyes Comek is a terrible traitor who cannot be spared.

    So unless Comek kills Chashan he won’t be able to sleep soundly in the future.

    but….

    “Don’t give up. I let you live in the first place and now the captain is here to kill those guys?”

    Even the common soldiers under Legion now speak informally to Comek.

    The other soldiers were mocking Comack who had been removed from his position as squad leader and was now a private.

    “Eww… This is ridiculous! You crazy hypocrite!”

    Comek tore at his hair.
