Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1246
Only Noblemtl
Episode 1246. It’s the same everywhere people live.
The border guard of the Principality of Tofla looked at the messed up stagecoaches and stuck out his tongue.
Border guards shook their heads when transport chief Rhein Hyde reported artillery fire on the Azesa Road.
“The Southern Kingdoms are now firing at stagecoaches.”
“If this is the case, shouldn’t stagecoach transportation be banned?”
“Aren’t adventurers and mercenaries welcome?”
The border guards said a few words, but that was the end of it.
Considering that both sides’ artillery bombarded the city in the early stages of the war, the Azesa road was not surprising.
While the border guards were whispering, Rheinhyde met with the checkpoint warden.
The checkpoint warden, who had been carefully examining the documents, glanced at Rhein Hyde.
“It says there are three passenger wagons and two freight wagons… … . One is empty. “What happened?”
“It was destroyed by a shell from the Southern Kingdom army on the Azusa Road a little while ago.”
“The southerners shelled Azusa Road?”
“Yes, I was going to ask anyway. Since when have Stagecoach Carriage Association wagons become a target? “I have never received any such notice from the association.”
The checkpoint director looked a little surprised, but then shrugged and said as if it was no big deal.
“It’s a big deal. Why did I suddenly do something I never did before? It won’t continue like that. “If the stagecoach doesn’t go into the southern kingdom, they will only lose.”
“Are you saying you didn’t ban stagecoaches in the Southern Kingdom?”
“If that were the case, would the Stagecoach Association have issued a transport permit? I must have made a brief mistake. If they keep shelling the Azusa Road, they’ll stop stagecoach traffic, but not to that level yet. Can’t you see that this checkpoint is operating normally right now? The Southern Kingdoms are also hoping that the Stagecoach Transportation Association will diligently transport supplies and people. So don’t worry too much.”
“Then I will just believe the Baron’s words and continue moving to the Southern Kingdom. By the way, are there any adventurers and mercenaries returning to the Empire from the Southern Kingdom?”
“A war broke out due to the treasures discovered in the Abyss. Will anyone go back? Everyone is just rushing to the great forest to get a share. By the way, more than half of the stagecoach passengers were mercenaries. “Look carefully and be careful.”
“What trouble are the mercenaries causing?”
“These are people who will do anything for money. “I heard that there are a lot of mercenaries turning into robbers in the forest recently.”
“All right. We will watch carefully. And although this is a small thing, it is a sign of sincerity from the association.”
With his words, Rheinhyde politely handed over a leather pouch containing twenty gold pieces.
The checkpoint director roughly estimated the weight of the money bag and laughed.
“Every piece of cargo is supposed to be inspected, but this time we will do a document search instead. I lost a carriage, so I guess I should give it some convenience. “Stop it.”
“thank you.”
Rein Hyde bowed to the checkpoint director and hurried out.
After a while, the four carriages standing at the border checkpoint slowly crossed the border.
After passing the wooden fence blocking the road, you will reach the Kingdom of Shade.
The carriage, which was moving slowly, soon arrived at the Shade Kingdom border checkpoint.
The Shade Kingdom border checkpoint was no different from the Principality of Topla.
No, rather, they welcomed adventurers, mercenaries, and supplies loaded on wagons.
Transport chief Rhein Hyde asked border checkpoint director Shade why the stagecoach had been attacked on the Azesa Road and why it had been shelled.
“I brought adventurers, mercenaries, and logistics to sell in the southern kingdom, but you’re firing me? “Who did the shelling and for what purpose?”
For noble knights, a checkpoint is a job that is far from success.
Of course, the power of the checkpoint commander is not as strong as that of a company commander in an ordinary combat unit.
The head of the Shade Kingdom checkpoint was in a position where he could not criticize the artillery’s shelling of the Azusa Road.
“I don’t know that either. I don’t even want to know. If you are truly curious, please inquire with the headquarters at the association level. And it’s a shame that one of the wagons was destroyed, but this is wartime. “It was because it was necessary for operational purposes. Could it be that the artillery bombarded Ajesa for no reason?”
“Can we take this to mean that there may be shelling in the future?”
“Uh-huh! But when did I say something like that? I don’t have the authority to say whether to fire or not. What I mean is, ‘There is no unprovoked shelling.’ If you want to know more about the bombardment of Ajesa, go to the headquarters. That’s all I can say. “Is there anything else left to say?”
“… … doesn’t exist.”
Rheine Hyde was dissatisfied, but did not press the checkpoint chief any further.
This is because he knows that the checkpoint director has little power in the military.
The four carriages soon left the Shade Kingdom checkpoint and ran south.
Around noon, the carriage stopped at Rachel, located in the northern part of the Kingdom of Shade.
Perhaps because it was half a day away from the front line, people’s expressions were dark.
The transport manager led the passengers to a shabby tavern.
One of the mercenaries who had ordered food and was sitting quietly called a nearby guard.
“Brother, I can’t see a single wagon. What happened? “I heard it was destroyed by artillery fire.”
“you’re right.”
“Stop it.”
“thank you.”
Rein Hyde bowed to the checkpoint director and hurried out.

One of the mercenaries who had ordered food and was sitting quietly called a nearby guard.
“Brother, I can’t see a single wagon. What happened? “I heard it was destroyed by artillery fire.”
“you’re right.”
“her! Fuck, you mean we could have died too? Is that right?”
“… … ”
The guard just shrugged and did not reply.
Then the mercenary who asked the question continued speaking with a shocked expression on his face.
“I heard the Southern Kingdom is not hostile to mercenaries and adventurers? The stagecoach shouldn’t have been running if it was under fire! “Am I wrong?”
“Never before has a stagecoach been shelled near the border. “The Stagecoach Association will strongly protest against the Southern Kingdom.”
“What the heck, what are you going to do if you protest every day? The driver who drove that carriage must have died too. “Should we leave life and death to chance?”
As the voices grew louder, transportation manager Line Hyde stepped forward.
“The border checkpoint reported this to the Stagecoach Association. Corresponding measures will be taken soon. The responsibility for this shelling lies entirely with the Southern Kingdom. The Stagecoach Transportation Association is committed to doing everything we can to ensure something like this never happens again.”
The mercenary twitched his lips at the transportation manager’s neat arrangement, but did not refute.
The tavern owner, who was listening to the passengers’ stories, quietly approached the transportation manager.
“Mr. Hyde. “Is it true that the stagecoach was shelled on the border?”
“I did, but it’s nothing to worry about. I met with the checkpoint commanders on both sides, and it seemed like the artillery was acting independently. As you know, there is no reason for the southern kingdoms to be hostile to the Stagecoach Association.”
“That’s true, but people’s minds change suddenly when the war situation is unfavorable. You know because you saw it in person, right? Do you think the Southern Kingdom army will be pushed back?”
“why? “If we get pushed back, can we at least evacuate?”
“Ouch! Where are you saying I’m going after leaving the tavern? “I’m thinking about stocking up on food in advance.”
“Neither the Empire nor the Southern Kingdom seemed likely to undertake unreasonable operations. Isn’t one side unilaterally strong anymore? So there won’t be any big changes.”
“It is comforting to hear those words. In that sense, I will give each of you a bottle of alcohol today.”
“Oh my! thank you thank you for this food.”
The tavern owner exchanged a few words with the transportation manager and then entered the kitchen.
After a while, a female clerk went around to each table and poured a bottle of clam banana (a southern specialty liquor) at each table.
Considering that the guests were adventurers and mercenaries who were major lords, it was actually closer to publicity.
Adventurers and mercenaries said it was okay.
And of course, we ordered two or three more bottles of clam bananas for each table.
Although drinking began in broad daylight, the person in charge of transportation did not stop it.
This is because mercenaries know that they have to relieve their stress at least in this way.
As they got drunk, the mercenaries glanced at the adventurers’ positions.
To be precise, it is true that he sipped alcohol with the beautiful Crea as a snack.
Mercenaries are tough.
That’s not just about their lifestyle.
“Wow, it looks really delicious.”
“If you have any questions, ask the guy hanging around. “Is it delicious?”
“Fuck, I’m so jealous. “Some people sleep among black men, and some people sleep with women like that.”
“If you don’t want to take it with you, ask to borrow it for a day.”
“If you don’t want to borrow it, ask us to do it together.”
“Kkkkkk!”
From the first encounter, the lewd remarks of the mercenaries who had been targeting Crea gradually became more intense.
By nature, mercenaries do not pay attention to what others think.
Naturally, their obscene remarks reached the ears of Baron Howard Solon and his group.
If it had been like before, Tain-rok would have stepped in and caused a stir.
However, Tainerok, who had already broken up with Baron Solon and his group in his heart, did not come forward even when Crea was harassed in front of his eyes. Because now she believed that Baron Solon had to protect her.
Baron Howard Solon glanced at Taine with resentment in his eyes at his callous attitude.
Still, we’ve had a good relationship together until now, but you’re acting like we’re strangers!
Baron Howard Solon, who was gritting his teeth, curled his fist.
As his expression hardened, Crea lowered her voice and spoke.
“Baron, please be patient. You know mercenaries have dirty mouths. “If you fight with a pig, you become dirty too.”
In fact, Crea, a former mercenary, was used to being harassed by men and was not very angry.
If Baron Howard Solon and Crea were just colleagues, they might have overlooked it.
However, Baron Howard Solon could not endure the mercenaries’ continued obscenities.
He jumped up from his seat and shouted at the mercenaries.
“Let’s refrain from saying dirty words! “You’re not the only ones at the tavern!”
For a moment, the tavern became quiet.
It would have been nice if his point had worked, but looking at the mercenaries’ expressions, that wasn’t the case.
Vice-captain Louis, who usually refers to women, said with a hearty smile.
“why? I like hearing that. Baron, if we have something good, let’s share it. “A good thing is doubled when shared.”
The mercenaries shouted at the vice-captain’s dirty joke, ‘Waaa! I burst out laughing.
At that moment, Baron Howard Solon’s breathing became heavy.
This is because those ruthless mercenaries not only despised Crea but also the nobleman himself.
Baron Howard Solon trotted over to the table where Louis was sitting.
“You, say it again.”
Louis didn’t even blink at Howard Solon’s murderous words.
“If we have something good, let’s share it.” What’s the problem? Baron Howard Solon, the genius knight of Pneuma?”
“It’s funny that you still have that attitude even though you know who I am. Who the hell are you?”
“You mean me? This is Rui from the Stan mercenaries. “You’re from the Principality of Topla, so you’ve probably heard of it at least once, right?”
“joy! It was Louis, the nymphomaniac who was a disgrace to the Royal Knights. “They said you can’t give a dog a bad habit, but even after being kicked out of the Knights’ Order and becoming a mercenary, you still do what you do.”
Contrary to his mocking words, Baron Howard Solon’s face was stern.
Elio, who was watching while sipping a sweet clam banana, muttered.
“It’s the same everywhere people live.”
