Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1336
Only Noblemtl
Episode 1336. Is there anything left to say that hasn’t been said yet?
Elio and his group moved to the stagecoach office in Harkit under the setting sun.
Although Harkit was occupied by the Imperial forces, stagecoaches continued to run.
Not only did the Stagecoach Association not represent the interests of either party, but rather because both the Empire and the Southern Kingdoms needed stagecoaches.
Even so, in the aftermath of the war, stagecoaches only ran once for breakfast and lunch.
“… … And it can only run to Minos, east of Peromuros. “I’ll tell you in advance, we are not entering Peromuros.”
Fabian nodded at what the Stagecoach office employee said.
In any case, their destination is not Peromuros, but eastern Peromuros.
“I get it. “What time can I come by in the morning?”
“You must come to the waiting area by 9 o’clock at the latest. “I can’t tell you when I’ll arrive, but I’m definitely keeping to my departure time.”
“Don’t worry. “We are the ones who came from the North to the South by stagecoach.”
The office staff looked at the young traveler and his companions with new eyes.
However, since I had no way of knowing if it was true or a bluff, I soon gave up interest.
After a while, Elio and his group came out onto the street again.
As dusk fell, the streets became eerily quiet.
The sound of a magic cannon echoed softly in the distance.
Elio, who had been inadvertently listening to the gunfire, muttered to himself.
“Peromuros is half a day away… … . “What kind of gunfire is this?”
Then Fabian said:
“The Southern Kingdom army isn’t limited to Peromuros. Have you forgotten that this is the Adriatic Kingdom?”
“The Kingdom of Adriatic also has potential?”
“Didn’t you know? “The Adriatic Kingdom is much stronger than most principalities.”
“… … .”
Elio was lost in thought for a moment.
The 35th Division commander said that the southern kingdoms would surrender if only Peromuros was captured, but that does not seem to be the case.
It is true that the Steel Legion is winning one battle after another, but isn’t it true that war is only waged by the Steel Legion?
“Why are you doing that?”
Fabian looked at Count Elio Lagoa’s complexion with a puzzled look.
“You met the commander of the 35th Division earlier.”
“So?”
“The 35th Division commander said that the war would end if only Peromuros was captured.”
“I guess that’s because the situation of the war is favorable to the imperial army. If the Southern Kingdom does not have weapons to deal with Exitium… … . In fact, it is very likely that will happen.”
“But Exitium only has the Iron Legion. Among them, only the Battalion unit is armed with Exitium.”
“Of course, that’s true, but the side that occupies a strategic point ultimately wins. It’s not a vain delusion. Isn’t that right? Sir Omar?”
Fabian secretly brought in Count Larva Omar.
This is because I think his insight and experience will support what he says.
Count Larva Omar, who had been listening while nodding his head, opened his mouth.
“I think I understand why Lord Lagoa said that. Fabian, your argument is a faithful answer to the Academy’s teachings.”
Both Elio and Fabian raised their chins at Count Larva Omar’s words.
The Count continued speaking.
“Now that I think about it, I think my thoughts were short-lived.”
Fabian asked in response to Count Larva Omar’s sudden self-criticism.
“yes? “What are you saying all of a sudden?”
“Wasn’t there a war between the Empire and the Southern Kingdom? In that case, we need to look at both the Empire and the Southern Kingdom. But we were only digging into the empire.”
Count Larva Omar then spoke to Count Elio Lagoa.
“Lord Lagoa, the ‘Spearhead of Chaos’ is neither on the side of the Empire nor the Southern Kingdom, is it? If so, there is a possibility that he may have extended his magical reach to the Southern Kingdom as well. But we are in the dark about the situation in the southern kingdom.”
“ah!”
Elio realized late that he had missed one thing.
Ushas Undra can also do tricks in the southern kingdom, but that was overlooked.
“Lord Lagoa, please monitor the movements of the imperial army as originally planned. “I will look around the southern kingdom and see if there are any signs of abnormalities.”
“Aren’t you going to eastern Peromuros?”
“Yes, I will go to Krazion and meet the King of the Adriatic Kingdom. “I think we should find out the situation in the Southern Kingdom through him.”
“That would be great. Even if there are circumstances that suggest Ushas Undra’s activities, do not delve too deeply.”
“I will.”
Count Larva Omar readily answered.
He knew his limitations and had no intention of overdoing it.
Howard, who was watching, spoke to Count Larva Omar.
“May I and Crea follow Lord Omar? “I think you need someone to run errands for you, Lord Omar.”
Count Larva Omar thought for a moment and nodded.
It’s not that it’s not, it’s that there may suddenly be a need to hire someone.
Howard and Crea were much better than hiring mercenaries at that time.
Not only are the two men’s swordsmanship excellent, but more than that, they are trustworthy.
“Yes, it would be of great help to me. “Lord Lagoa, do you mind if I take these two people with me?”
“Of course. Fabian alone is enough for me.”
“Then we will leave for Crasion tomorrow morning. Sir Fabian, please serve Sir Lagoa well as you always have.”
Fabian answered Count Larva Omar’s request with a powerful voice.
“Don’t worry. “I will not let you feel empty.”
next day.
Elio and Fabian, Count Larva Omar, and Count Larva Omar boarded a stagecoach in eastern Minos of Peromuros – where the Corvo magic corps is located – to Krazion.
***
Peromuros Eastern Minoan.
32nd Division Garrison.
Around 2 p.m., two young men appeared at the Imperial Army garrison.
This is Elio and Fabian.
Without hesitation, the two approached the guards guarding the station.
One of the guards cautiously asked as the two confidently walked.
“How did you get here?”
Fabian stepped in to replace Count Elio Lagoa.
“I am Baron Fabian Cloud. I’m looking for Corvo’s magic army. “Is there a Corvo magic corps here?”
“The Corvo Magic Legion is staying in a village called Ramsey. By the way, are you an Imperial Baron?”
The guard’s sharp gaze glanced at Fabian.
They are trying to confirm his identity as a baron in the Southern Kingdom battleground.
“I received a title from the North.”
As the guard’s expression suddenly became strange, Fabian continued speaking.
“But the person I have brought here is the Count of the Empire.”
“Can you tell me the great nobleman’s name?”
“This is Count Elio Lagoa.”
The guards, who had been disheveled for a moment, corrected their posture.
There was no one who did not know the name of Grand Master, Count Elio Lagoa.
Elio ignored the story from afar, as if it were someone else’s story.
The guard who hesitated politely added an explanation.
“Baron, Ramsay Village is about ten minutes down the river you see over there.”
“Where do you belong?”
“This is the 32nd Division.”
Fabian nodded with a satisfied expression and then turned around.
As Baron Fabian Cloud and Count Elio Lagoa walked away, one of the guards rushed towards the headquarters.
After going down the river for about ten minutes, a fairly large village appeared.
Elio and Fabian entered the village and went to see the Corvo magic corps.
Duke Killian Hale, leader of the Corvo Magic Legion, who was leisurely spending time at the command center, greeted him loudly.
“Oh my! Who is this? Isn’t it Sir Elio Lagoa! I heard a rumor that he went to the south, but I met him here. “Welcome!”
“It’s been a while since I saw you. How have you been? “Does your face look better than before?”
Elio greeted and sat down across from Duke Killian Hale.
As soon as the two people finished greeting each other, Fabian also bowed to the duke.
“This is Baron Fabian Cloud.”
“Yes, you are more advanced than before. At that age, he’s already close to being a sword expert… … . As expected, he is a knight who serves Lord Lagoa.”
“That’s too much praise.”
The corners of Fabian’s mouth turned up at Duke Killian Hale’s praise.
Fabian, who knew the topic, naturally moved to the front door.
Duke Killian Hale, who was looking at Fabian, asked Elio.
“The Grand Master wouldn’t just come to a place like this. What’s going on?”
Elio looked carefully into Duke Killian Hale’s eyes before answering.
Looking back, he was friendly towards me from the first time I met him.
Not simply as a high-ranking person in the empire, but like Count Larva Omar, he felt like he could reveal a little of his true feelings.
“actually… … .”
Elio spoke in a calm tone about the gods’ intervention in the ‘rift in Northern Hirhera’ and the ‘war between the Empire and the Southern Kingdom.’
Duke Killian Hale’s face, which had listened with an absurd expression at first, gradually hardened.
In the Abyss, when Elio said, ‘I killed the god Antar, the right hand man of the evil god Shaitin,’ I couldn’t even breathe properly.
Elio said that Ushas Undra was the ‘spearhead of chaos’ and kept his mouth shut.
“Is that true? No, it’s probably true.”
Duke Killian Hale shook his head with a devastated face.
There was no way a person like the Grand Master would say such nonsense, so I asked, but it was just a vague response.
“It’s shocking that the war between the Empire and the Southern Kingdom is a conspiracy of the gods. No, more than that, if this fact gets into the Church of Manatrastras, they will send inquisitors.”
Just because Manaptras was not the creator god, Count Elio Lagoa would have heard that he was the leader of a heresy.
Elio shrugged his shoulders.
He didn’t think it mattered what the Manaptras Church did.
But things were not as simple as he thought.
“If the Inquisitor determines heresy… … . “The Manaptras Pope will try to move the Emperor to judge you.”
“Are you saying the imperial army might be mobilized?”
“I see.”
“Then what should I do?”
“You must not tell anyone what you just said to me.”
“It will be okay to find and deal with Ushas Undra, right?”
“If Ushas Undra betrayed Manapthras and became attached to the evil spirit… … . Wouldn’t that work? I think Mana Prass would understand that much.”
Elio chuckled because the disposal of Ushas Undra was something Manaptras had requested.
Duke Killian Hale continued:
“So you came to check on the situation of the war. To find out who is inciting this war. Am I right?”
“yes. Perhaps he is the ‘spearhead of chaos.’”
“The crown prince is the one who wanted war to break out in the empire.”
“… … .”
Elio looked at Duke Killian Hale in surprise at the unexpected words.
“But the crown prince cannot be Ushas Undra. “Isn’t that right?”
“I guess so?”
Elio asked back with an uncertain expression.
The bodies of the gods are spiritual bodies, so they can take any form they want through polymorphs.
However, since there were high-ranking wizards by the crown prince’s side, that would be difficult.
“I will secretly investigate the people around the crown prince. “Axitium, which was buried long ago, suddenly pops up, and there’s nothing suspicious about it.”
“If you notice any strange movement, please let me know.”
“Of course you should. Isn’t there only one person who can deal with Ushas Undra? Until you find him, try to act as if he doesn’t exist. “I’m telling you not to conflict with the Manaptras Church or the Imperial Army.”
“yes.”
Elio nodded vigorously – with a face begging for trust.
Coincidentally, at that time, Knight Commander Spike Gore suddenly opened the door and came in.
“Your Excellency the Duke. The Imperial Army Intelligence Department staff… … “I would like to see you.”
“me?”
“no. “I’m looking for Lord Lagoa.”
Duke Killian Hale frowned.
If it were a division commander, they would have come to say hello, but they were not intelligence department staff.
“Lord Lagoa? “Is there anything left to say that I haven’t told you yet?”
