Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Chapter 1345



Episode 1345. It was a special military operation by the corps commander

Even though the temperature in the south is warm throughout the year, dawn is cool.

In particular, when it is wet with dew, it is chilly and makes you shiver.

The chief of staff, Viscount Kurt Wartner, who had been squatting, stood up and moved lightly.

After moving my body for about 10 minutes, the discomfort went away.

The chief of staff, who had been dozing off, got up from his seat as if he couldn’t stand it any longer, and followed the chief of staff.

The morning sun rose as the two men were training for the strength of the knights of the Imperial Army.

The coolness until dawn is nowhere to be found, and soon the warm temperature unique to the south embraces the land.

Viscount Kurt Wartner, who was looking at his staff with an embarrassed face, sighed lightly.

“ha. It’s so good to live. Isn’t it?”

Until yesterday, Elio Lagoa was dead, but the situation was reversed in one day.

Now, rather, the Iron Legion is in a position to look at Elio Lagoa.

It was the first time I had experienced such a drastic change of position in one day.

“I mean.”

A bitter smile appeared on the staff’s face as well.

The Empire’s strongest steel legion would kneel down to a knight from the north.

Even though I was dipping my toes into that unbelievable scene, everything seemed like a dream.

It was breakfast time, but the two couldn’t leave their seats.

However, if Elio Lagoa goes out in the meantime, the efforts made all night will go to nothing.

Because they had been running all night, a growling sound came from their stomachs.

The two pretended not to hear the sound and stared at the door of the chalet (southern lodge).

White smoke billowed from the chimney of the chalet.

Soon, a savory yet sweet smell spread around the area.

The chief of staff and the chief of staff swallowed saliva in their mouths.

Even as a staff member, the basics are a knight who uses strength.

In addition, the two people who had been working since dawn felt insanely hungry.

However, the door to the chalet did not open.

Not wanting to offend Elio Lagoa by visiting without notice during breakfast, the two waited until the meal was over.

how much time has passed

A middle-aged woman with a well-built body opened the door of the chalet, which was firmly closed, and spoke with me.

“Please come in.”

The chief of staff, shocked, looked back at the staff with a face that said that something had come.

Eventually, the chief of staff stepped away with a determined face.

Once inside, the chief of staff approached Elio Lagoa, who was sitting by the window and drinking tea.

“I am Viscount Kurt Wartner, Chief of Staff of the Iron Legion.”

Elio raised his head and looked up at the chief of staff’s face.

“however?”

As expected, Elio Lagoa’s cold response led the chief of staff to the main point.

“The corps commander wants to cover the work of the Count and the Scorpion Company. In addition, the title that the Count would return was also unprecedented…”

“I don’t like it?”

“He said that if there were any special requirements, he would listen to them as well.”

“I thought a platoon of batalions would be able to handle me, but since that doesn’t work, are you saying you’re going to do something that didn’t exist?”

“That was not the will of the corps commander. An unexpected accident caused by the excessive loyalty of the company commander, Baron Pylos Harwood. Because of that, I went into the discipline inspection of the Battalion unit…”

“How long do I have to listen to such nonsense? Do I look like an idiot?”

“Believe me. The corps commander sincerely wants to improve his relationship with the Count.”

Viscount Kurt Wartner, chief of staff, quietly turned away.

“Didn’t you hear the rumors about me?”

“What rumors are you talking about?”

“You must keep what you say.”

Viscount Kurt Wartner, startled, spoke cautiously.

“Is there anything exceptional? Due to the Count, the power of the Battalion unit has been weakened. On the other hand, the enemies are gathering in the Dnirov Kingdom and the Urm Kingdom. A massive counterattack is expected soon. If something goes wrong with the Iron Legion… the tide of battle will quickly turn.”

“I would have said it before. I don’t care who wins the war. Even now that I’ve given up my title, I’m closer to the southern kingdom. If the tide turns, it’s good for me.”

“dismissal. When the Iron Legion falls, the southern kingdoms will overtake the Empire. The great war of fifty years ago will happen again. Only when the Iron Legion is alive and well will the war end in a local battle near the Great Forest.”

“What if it ends in a local war?”

“yes?”

“I heard that the Southern Kingdoms are gathering in the Dnirov Kingdom and the Ureum Kingdom? Do you think that large army will return to its original position?”

“If the Iron Legion occupies Feromuros, the kingdom of Adria will no longer be able to hold out. Then offer a peace treaty and the war will end. The Empire has no intention of occupying the southern kingdoms. You can return not only the cities of Adria Kingdom, but also the Shade Kingdom. All the empire wants is ‘Guaranteed free exploration of the Abyss’. There is no reason for the southern kingdoms not to accept in a losing war.”

“I live comfortably in the world.”

“yes? What are you talking about?”

“Do you think the world will turn the way you think? Why do you think the southern kingdoms would accept the Empire’s peace proposal?”

“Because the Empire has an invincible Batalion unit. Aren’t the southern kingdoms lacking weapons against the Empire’s excitium? This is a war that the Empire has no choice but to win.”

“The Empire unconditionally wins the war, but why do the Southern Kingdoms gather in the Dnirov Kingdom and the Ureum Kingdom? In my hometown there is a saying If you know the enemy and know yourself, you are not in great danger. But why does the empire seem to know only me and not know the enemy? Do you know why the southern kingdoms that have not participated in the war are gathering?”

“I don’t know, but isn’t that obvious? It means to put pressure on the imperial army. If I had the confidence to win, I would have entered the battle right away.”

“So don’t just think in your head, look straight at reality and say it.”

“You are talking about the reality, but realistically, there is no weapon that can surpass the excitium. It is a war that the Imperial Army cannot lose.”

“Whew! I’m speechless. It’s like looking at a wall and talking.”

Elio shook his head excitedly.

The great nobles of the empire know that the empire is the center of the world.

That’s not entirely wrong, but that doesn’t mean the world goes your way.

If so, there would not have been a war with the southern kingdoms in the first place.

“I am well aware of Your Excellency’s concerns. That’s why the Iron Legion must be safe. Please hold the hand that the corps commander reached out with difficulty.”

“refuse.”

“dismissal!”

“Tell the corps commander. Wash your neck and wait.”

“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you said now.”

“Then you would die without a solution? You, too, wish the Marquis an early death. Do whatever you feel like.”

“You are talking too much! No matter how much His Excellency is the Grand Master, the Corps Commander is the closest aide to His Highness the Crown Prince and is the vanguard of this war!”

“You’re telling me not to touch the prince because he’s on his back?”

“….”

Viscount Kurt Wartner looked at Elio Lagoa with perplexed eyes.

Even a Grand Master cannot compare to the power of the Empire.

But I don’t know what this person believes and acts like this.

“why? Does the imperial law say not to kill people with strong support?”

“Honestly, I don’t understand. What crime do you think the corps commander committed?”

Then, Elio asked back.

“Why do you think the Scorpion commander died?”

“According to His Excellency, you must have killed him because he had committed a heinous war crime.”

“Do you think that is all?”

“Are there any more?”

“You tried to kill me. So I killed him in defense. They say that is self-defense here?”

“As I said, it was the company commander’s arbitrary action that attacked Your Excellency. Didn’t you kill him in return?”

Elio, who had been listening quietly, clapped his hand.

Without knowing why, Viscount Kurt Wartner brought his face close to the Count.

At that moment, like lightning, Elio struck the chief of staff in the face.

‘match!’ With a sound, the chief of staff fell backwards.

The chief of staff could not get up from the spot where he was knocked down.

Elio asked the staff member who was standing there with a pale face.

“Are you going to say that it was the company commander’s arbitrary action?”

“…Oh no. It was a special military operation by the corps commander.”

The staff member who thought there were only two of them did not lie.

“Take it. tell the corps commander I’ll be looking for you in a few days, so wash your head and wait.”

“…yes.”

The staff left the chalet with the droopy chief of staff slung over his shoulder.

***

Northern Feromuros.

Iron Legion Command.

After the chief of staff’s report, the corps commander, Marquis Theo Stauran, gritted his teeth.

“So you dare to threaten to kill me, the commander of the Iron Legion?”

“Yes, he said he would come back in a few days.”

“crazy!”

Unable to hold back the rising anger, Marquis Theo Stauran jumped up from his seat.

But no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do right now.

The Marquis, realizing this belatedly, slumped back into his seat.

“Should I report it to His Highness, the Crown Prince?”

“Yes, but he… had no fear of His Highness the Crown Prince.”

It is said that reporting to the crown prince would not help in resolving the situation.

The Marquis, who had been listening breathlessly, asked.

“What do you think I can do in this situation?”

“We need to put batalion troops on the border and reinforce the musketeers and musketeers.”

“Bring musketeers and musketeers from the 34th Reserve Division in Jakunan (Ancient City in Northern Pheromuros) and the 35th Reserve Division in Harkit (Southern Pheromuros Trade City). Replenishment is up to you.”

“yes.”

“There was a magic artillery unit in Jakunan, right?”

“There is, but… the guards could get caught up in the magic cannon.”

“He is a mage. He must have used Blink to get out of the picture. At that time, even if something big exploded nearby, I wouldn’t be able to come to my senses.”

“But the shells hit our allies…”

“Do you think we can catch the Grand Master without sacrificing our allies?”

“no.”

“If you know, don’t ever say that again.”

“…yes.”

Viscount Kurt Wartner, chief of staff, nodded, his face swollen from being hit.

“Look out.”

“Yeah…. By the way, Eligo Lagoa said something strange.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Do you think the southern kingdom forces gathered in the Dnirov Kingdom and the Ureum Kingdom will just go back…”

“If we don’t just go back? If the warring parties sign a peace treaty, I have to go back. What am I supposed to do?”

“He spoke as if the southern kingdoms would do otherwise.”

“joy! What a northern country boy knows about cross-country affairs. Besides, you were stuck in the Abyss not too long ago. We know a lot more about the southern kingdoms than he does.”

“It is, but. The fact that his party went to Krasion also bothers me a little.”

“If there were any abnormal signs, the informants in Krasion would have informed us. There’s nothing to worry about yet. It’s a shallow ploy to pressure us.”

At those words, the chief of staff’s expression brightened a little.

If the informants planted in Krasion were silent, he could have ignored Elio Lagoa’s words.
