Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1334
Only Noblemtl
Episode 1334. Do what you do and live
Viscount Iron Burt, Chief of Staff of the 30th Division, could not say anything in response to the words of the Steel Legion commander.
There is no doubt that it is a somewhat far-fetched claim, but there were also suspicious circumstances.
This is what happened when Count Elio Lagoa and Count Larva Omar annihilated the Scorpion Company.
No matter how great a noble a person is, to kill a company of imperial troops on the battlefield is an act that has crossed the line.
The commander could be arrested and brought before the imperial court.
No, it was natural for the company commander to be Baron Hank Stauren.
This is because he has the right to be tried according to imperial law.
Moreover, the perpetrator was not an imperial soldier, but a great nobleman.
Count Elio Lagoa does not have the authority to summarily dispose of the Scorpion Company.
Count Larva Omar, a great nobleman in the north, is even more so.
This is an issue that could easily escalate into a fight between the Kingdom of Valelum and the Empire.
Nevertheless, Count Elio Lagoa and his party summarily disposed of the Scorpion Company.
Commander Theo Stauren, who lost his son through illegal means, is understandably upset.
But even so, it is unreasonable to make this case public.
This is because various war crimes committed by the imperial army in villages in the southern kingdom could be highlighted.
That is why the Stagecoach Association, which had suffered damage, proposed to blame it on the resistance and cover it up.
After thinking that far, Chief of Staff Iron Burt opened his mouth.
“As the corps commander said, there are also some suspicious aspects of Count Lagoa’s actions. “With his ability, he could have brought the Scorpion Company to the Imperial Court instead of executing them.”
“That’s common sense.”
“But the problem is that there is no evidence to support the corps commander’s words.”
“Because Count Lagoa disposed of all the witnesses against him.”
“… … .”
Chief of Staff Iron Butt kept his mouth shut.
This is a matter everyone knows.
He waited for new words to come out of the corps commander’s mouth.
“I plan to request an investigation from the Imperial Intelligence Unit. It makes no sense to cover up the destruction of the Scorpion Company with a report from the Stagecoach Association. If you investigate the passengers, you will find out why Count Lagoa took such unreasonable measures. “Please convey my intentions to your lazy and foolish superior (commander of the 30th Division).”
Chief of Staff Iron Burt, who could not bear to say ‘yes’ to the insulting remarks made to his superiors, quietly bowed and stepped down.
***
Adriatic Kingdom.
Harkit, southern Peromuros.
The stagecoach passengers who came back to life arrived at their original destination, the trading city of Harkitt, in a new stagecoach sent by the Stagecoach Association.
Half of the passengers remained in Harkit, while the other half departed north on another stagecoach.
Elio and his party, who had to find the ‘spearhead of chaos’, remained in Harkit.
It is only half a day from Harkit to Peromuros.
Perhaps that’s why Harkit was also crowded with heavily armed imperial troops.
Elio and Fabian, who had lived in the barracks in northern Hirhera for a long time, did not feel awkward in a city full of imperial troops.
However, Count Larva Omar and others seemed a little concerned.
In particular, Howard and Crea got a little nervous when a platoon-sized Imperial force approached.
I was wondering if he had come to visit me because of Scorpion Company’s business.
Elio, who was walking down the street, went under the shade of a tree to avoid the hot southern sun.
This is because, no matter how cold-resistant your body is, your skin will burn if exposed to hot sunlight for a long time.
As we entered the shade, Fabian made a fuss.
“Wow! I think I will buy it. At times like this, I really miss the North. “Isn’t that right?”
Elio and Count Larva Omar nodded as if they agreed.
As the imperial soldiers passing by glanced at Crea, Fabian muttered as if he understood.
“Wow! Poor guys. “Fighting against enemies and loneliness is a lot of hardship.”
Then Howard said something.
“Brother, isn’t it lust, not solitude?”
“You’ve never lived in Yeongji-gun, have you?”
“yes.”
“Try it later. Then you will find out.”
“… … .”
Crea said to Howard who tilted his head.
“Brother, don’t live in a territory.”
“why?”
“You have to stay away from me.”
“ah… … .”
Belatedly, Howard realized the meaning behind Fabian’s words.
“I will not. Even so, the commander will be fine. Yes? older brother?”
“Unless a major incident occurs and we are not called.”
“How much of an incident?”
“Something like a territorial war or a crack in the ice wall and having to protect it. “Under such circumstances, the commander cannot say he will go home.”
“Oh, that’s natural. “I’m not that person without common sense.”
Elio, who was listening to the two people chatting, suddenly spoke to Count Larva Omar.
“The imperial soldiers’ expressions are bright. Shall we give up the Abyss’ monopoly in the Southern Kingdom?”
“It won’t be easy. “If the steel golem falls into the hands of the Empire, they will think that they will have to live under the Empire’s control forever.”
“You mean the war won’t end easily?”
“The empire that won the war will also propose harsher conditions than before. “The cost that a defeated country must pay is greater than expected.”
“It won’t be easy one way or another.”
“So, the Empire also brought out the buried Exitium.”
“The Imperial Army has had a taste of Exitium… … . “It would be difficult to bury it again, right?”
“Even if the empire blocks it, it will be released through black market. The era ruled by knights and wizards will soon come to an end.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t make it at the Magic Tower. “It is a product that is harmful to wizards in the long run, so why make and sell it?”
“Magic engineers have a slightly different position from wizards. The treatment is also different. The magic skills of magic engineers are far behind that of traditional magicians. Some orthodox wizards treat magic engineers as blacksmiths. Aside from everything else, a magician will not suffer any losses due to Exitium. Even if there is, the benefit is greater than the loss. “I gave up on honor, and Exitium is a lot of money.”
“It’s a wave that can’t be reversed, right?”
“That’s right. “Axisium’s effectiveness has been fully proven, so we won’t be able to stop it.”
Howard chimed in.
“So does that mean that musketeers will be treated better than knights?”
“I guess so. A skilled musketeer would be able to blow away a sword expert with one blow. Sword Master may be a little difficult.”
“Wow. Should I also turn into a musketeer?”
Crea added a word.
“They say there are a lot of knights who have changed their positions to commander-in-chief these days. Still, I don’t want to let go of my sword.”
“why? “Do you think women are better suited to be musketeers physically?”
“Because we must pass on Luna Mylus’ swordsmanship to future generations. If I become a Musketeer here… … . Luna Mylus’ sword skills are also disappearing.”
“oh! Such a deep meaning. “I also have to teach Lord Lagoa’s swordsmanship, so I’m giving up on becoming a musketeer.”
Elio narrowed his eyes at the word “give up.”
“Howard.”
“yes?”
“Becoming a musketeer is free, but do you think it’s easy to succeed as a musketeer?”
“Isn’t it just a matter of receiving Mana’s blessing?”
“Tsk tsk! She thought so. I can’t say that because I’ve never fired a gun. Fabian, please explain to me what it takes to succeed as a Musketeer.”
“yes! Howard. Does anyone become a sword master immediately after receiving the blessing of Mana?”
“That can’t be right.”
“Same. First of all, a musketeer must be good at shooting a magic gun. “If you shoot a target with a magic gun, how many out of ten shots do you think you can hit?”
“Even if you can’t, why don’t you get half of it right?”
“To succeed as a musketeer, you have to hit all ten shots. “You have to be born with it.”
“You can do it if you try.”
“Not everyone can become a sword master by trying hard. The same goes for the Musketeers. Of course, it is easier to start with than swordsmanship, but… … . “Rising to the top is as difficult as becoming a sword master.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“uh. So, don’t say, ‘I gave up being a musketeer to continue Lord Lagoa’s swordsmanship.’ “When the musketeers at the top hear this, they secretly laugh at you.”
Howard said with a puzzled look on his face.
“I’m just saying this… … “My thoughts were short.”
“And Sir Lagoa’s swordsmanship… … . no.”
Fabian also didn’t like Howard’s mention of Count Elio Lagoa’s swordsmanship.
No one makes jokes like that about Archduke Knauf’s swordsmanship.
Even if you learn just one sword move from the Archduke Knauf, it is considered a family treasure.
But you’re joking about Count Elio Lagoa’s swordsmanship, which is even better than him.
From Fabian’s perspective, it was an act that was completely incomprehensible.
In hindsight, Howard realized his mistake and quickly looked at Count Elio Lagoa.
Elio, who was looking at the passing clouds with an indifferent face, got up and stood up.
Soon, Elio and Count Larva Omar took to the streets.
Fabian followed closely behind the two.
Howard and Crea, who were behind, looked at each other with embarrassed faces.
Howard spoke first.
“Do you think I made a mistake?”
“I don’t know. “Because of you, I have become a strange person for no reason.”
“What did I do?”
“I really said that because I wanted to continue Luna Mylus’ swordsmanship. “Like my brother joked, that doesn’t mean I can’t shoot a musketeer.”
“My, when did I say something like that?”
“Depending on what you heard, it could have sounded like that. “The trend is a musketeer, and he has no choice but to choose the swordsmanship of A-gyeong.”
“I? no. Am I crazy? “I was just saying that I, like you, should follow Lord Lagoa’s swordsmanship.”
“My brother said, ‘I also have to teach Lord Lagoa’s swordsmanship, so I’m giving up on being a musketeer.’ Giving up is a bit like that. I feel like I’m doing it reluctantly… … . “Lord Lagoa must not have been in a good mood.”
“Wow, it’s going to spin. “I didn’t really mean it that way.”
“Brother Fabian seems to be getting along comfortably with Lord Lagoa… … “Even if it looks dangerous, we stick to the line.”
“In your opinion, have I crossed the line?”
“Think about it yourself. “You always envied the close relationship between Brother Fabian and Lord Lagoa.”
“So I went too far without realizing it?”
“no?”
“… … .”
Howard let out a long sigh.
After listening to it, it seemed like the right thing to say.
At first, it was difficult for Count Elio Lagoa and Count Larva Omar, but after leaving the Abyss, they became as comfortable as their family.
So, he just said that even though Count Lagoa and Count Omar were next to him.
Considering that Count Elio Lagoa is the Grand Master and has the power to kill even God, it would be right to live as if he were dead in front of him.
“They say that if the favor continues, you won’t be able to understand the topic… … . “I’m like that.”
“It’s not that much, just be a little more careful.”
“A fool like me deserves to die.”
“Do it in moderation. “Still, it doesn’t seem sincere.”
“Is that so?”
Before Crea could answer, Fabian, who was ahead, turned around and said.
“In my view, you are overly self-conscious. How important do you think you are in Lord Lagoa’s mind? You are dust blowing in the wind. So just do what you do and live your life.”
