Chapter 406.1: Irregular ③
I, Nora Code, have no allies. My siblings are all enemies aiming for the throne, and the nobles in my factions are likely to switch sides at any moment.
Therefore, I created the strongest pawns who would never betray me. The enhanced humans I poured resources into were undoubtedly the strongest in Code, and by appointing them as Royal Guards, they became warriors who could fend off interference from Class 8.
There is a limit to the number of Royal Guards that one Royal Family member can appoint. I, who have assembled soldiers with abilities that surpass even those of mechanized soldiers and appointed them as Royal Guards, can undoubtedly be called one of the largest factions in Code.
At the moment, the only problem is my hateful brother――Angus Code.
As the eldest son of the current King of Code, he was able to make preparations the earliest and is my greatest enemy. Indeed his faction has the most nobles supporting him due to the long period of preparation he got, but unfortunately, I also have to admit that he is very talented.
The resources available to Royalty are enormous. And no ordinary fools can make effective use of them. I was also one step behind in rewriting the prison rules. Angus has the advantage of understanding the system.
For now, the battle seems to be even. I focused on soldiers, while Angus focused on weapons. No matter how powerful the weapons are, they are useless if the soldiers who use them are of poor quality.
But I cannot imagine that he doesn’t understand that.
Angus has started a plan to recruit immigrants from outside, involving all of Code. He probably intends to use those immigrants as pawns to carry the weapons he has created, but it is hard to imagine that the people Code has been dealing with so far are superior to the fruit of my research. He should at least be thinking about pinpointing the best warriors to invite in and use them as pawns――Yes, just like me, who tried to get the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》 and bring him to my side.
