*M, Schofield” he said quietly, exhaustion creeping into his voice without him even realizing if femself, “I don’t want to make things difficult for you. But these are orders. If yobgefuse to cooperate…”

He paused

Then we’ll have no choice but to confiscate them by force”

Elizabeth’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“By force?”

“Yes” Deon met her gaze directly. “According to Imperial law, the military has the authority to directly seize any suspicious equipment deemed a potential threat to imperial security. Consent from the owner is not required.”

He paused again, his tone hardening further.

“Ms. Schofield, a wise person knows when to yield. No one in the kingdom can go against the military’s power. Don’t act recklessly.”

Even as he said it, the words felt deeply ironic.

Yesterday, his men had fired live ammunition at the farm, and the farm’s defense system had reflected the attack right back, blowing an entire ship apart.

And now, here he was, threatening the woman who owned that farm with military force.

But he truly had no other option.

Elizabeth looked at him for a long while.

Then she smiled.

But this smile was different from all the others before. Not the light, mocking smile. Not the cold smile that sent ehills down one’s

୮ spine.

This one… Deon couldn’t understand it.

“Colonel Barron,” she said softly, “what was it you said just now? That no one in the kingdom can withstand the military’s power?”

A bad feeling suddenly surged through Deon’s chest.

“Ms. Schofield, don’t…”

“Try it.” She interrupted him. Her voice was light as a feather, yet the moment those words fell, Deon’s entire body stiffened. “Try and see whether we can withstand it or not.”

Deon froze.

He stared at the woman standing before him, at the casual way she had uttered those words. For a moment, he genuinely didn’t

Had she gone insane?

This was the military.

The kingdom’s most powerful armed force.

What gave a mere farm owner the right to stand against them?

“Ms. Schofield,” he suppressed the irritation rising in his chest and made one final attempt, “don’t let emotions cloud your judgment. I’m only carrying out orders. I don’t want anyone getting hurt. If you cooperate willingly, I câtre”

He never finished the sentence.

Because at that exact moment, the sky above them suddenly darkened.

Deon instinctively looked up.

And his pupils contracted violently.

Dozens of black warships were descending slowly from the sky.

They blotted out the sunlight, casting enormous shadows that swallowed the entire spaceport in gloom.

B

It was the Fifth Military’s signature black coating. There were no insignias on the hulls, but the streamlined silhouettes and savage- looking cannon ports alone were enough to make anyone’s blood run cold.

Escort ships.

Assault ships.

And at the center… A massive command ship.

Deon’s mind blanked for an instant.

Then rage surged uncontrollably through him.

Gregory had been afraid he wouldn’t carry out the order.

So he had deployed the military directly.

“Colonel!” one of the team members behind him cried out in panic. “Th–Those are… those are our people!”

Deon didn’t turn around.

He simply stared fixedly at the command vessel overhead, fists clenched so tightly his knuckles had

white.

Then he lowered his head and looked at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was also looking at the sky.

There was almost no expression on her face. Her eyes narrowed slightly, as though she were watching a performance that had nothing to do with her.

Deon Inhaled deeply and activated his device.

“Chief Gregory”

Gregory’s calm voice came through immediately, as steady as ever. “Deon. How’s the situation?

“Chief Gregory,” Deon said tensely, “I’m still negotiating with the farm. There was no need for you to…”

“No need?” Gregory cut him off coldly. “Deon, you’ve been ‘negotiating‘ for an entire day. And what’s the result? Where are the spaceships?”

Deon fell silent.

“I know you’re soft–hearted,” Gregory continued. There was something in his tong that Deon couldn’t quite understand. “Su decided to help you along.”

The communication disconnected.

Deon stood frozen in place, cold all over.

Slowly, he turned to look at Elizabeth.
