Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1340
Only Noblemtl
1340 times. I didn’t say ‘alive’
Marquis Theo Stauren was so shocked by Count Karl Bamut’s words that he closed his eyes in bewilderment for a moment.
Eventually, his face slowly became stained with anger.
The threat to kill Batalian troops is understandable.
To the great nobles who commanded their fiefdoms, words like that were nothing.
However, the idea of killing himself, the marquis of the empire, and the crown prince was something he should never say, no matter how angry he was.
Threatening to kill the Crown Prince is in itself treason.
Such clearly treasonous remarks were made to the staff of the Imperial Intelligence Department?
This means that Count Elio Lagoa regards the imperial army as insignificant.
In the past, the imperial army could not refute such words, but now it is different.
As long as the Iron Legion has Battalion troops armed with Exitium, even the Grand Master must fear the Imperial Army.
Marquis Theo Stauren, filled with anger, jumped up from his seat and shouted.
“Are you crazy! No matter how grand master you are, as long as you live on this earth, you must be loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince! What? Are you threatening to kill me? Count Bamut! “Is what I just said true?”
“This is true without the slightest exaggeration. Viscount Lisa Cordot and Baron Claud Cuello also listened. His Excellency Duke Cillian Hale was also present.”
“Did Duke Hale just listen?”
“You said you would not get involved in Count Lagoa’s affairs.”
“Cunning old man. This is why I don’t like wizards. “Wizards have no loyalty to the imperial family or empire.”
“You are correct. “Wizards only want to enjoy the rights of nobles and have no interest in obligations.”
“What else did Count Lagoa say?”
“He said he would return the title he received from the empire.”
“It’s a threat to join the southern kingdom.”
“That’s right.”
“In a situation where the Southern Kingdom Union could raise the white flag even tomorrow? “Of course it’s a bluff, right?”
Marquis Theo Stauren thought that Count Elio Lagoa said that when he was cornered.
If the Kingdom of Shade was defeated and the Kingdom of Adriatic fell into the hands of the imperial army, the Southern Kingdom Allied Forces would come up with a peace mediation plan.
This war is not targeting the entire Southern Kingdom.
Among the southern kingdoms, four kingdoms adjacent to the Great Forest – Shade, Adria, Masdar, and Bostania – are in armed conflict with the empire.
According to information, the remaining southern kingdoms are also preparing to enter the war.
Unlike the northern kingdoms, which are watching, the southern kingdoms will definitely participate in the war.
However, if the Empire and the Alliance of Southern Kingdoms declare the end of the war before then, it is certain that the war will not expand further and enter the final stage.
If the Southern Kingdom has a steel golem, the Empire has Exitium to neutralize it.
Exitium can even handle musketeers, unlike the few steel golems.
There is no way the southern kingdoms, knowing that, would escalate the war.
At that time, Viscount Lisa Cordot, who was sitting in the last seat, cautiously opened her mouth.
“I’m not sure about that. Looking at Count Lagoa’s actions… … .”
At that moment, Marquis Theo Stauren shouted irritably.
“What about the Count! “If he said he was giving up his title, he would only be a northern noble.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Say… … is famous for always keeping his word. If you look at it from that perspective, you might really side with the Southern Kingdom.”
“Will anything change if he goes over to the Southern Kingdom?”
“yes? “What do you mean?”
As Viscount Lisa Cordot blinked, Marquis Theo Stauren turned his head to Count Karl Bamut.
“Is it because she’s a woman? You don’t understand what I’m saying. Do you think the tide will turn if he sides with the Southern Kingdom?”
Count Karl Bamut answered in a stern tone.
“no. At best, the number of grandmasters has only increased. “With the full strength of Batalion’s unit, we can crush Lagoa.”
“As expected, Count Bamut is quick at calculating.”
“I’m so sorry.”
Viscount Lisa Cordot internally ground her teeth at the conversation between the two.
‘Marquis! Aren’t the questions different!’
However, being only a viscount, she did not dare to say such words out loud.
Marquis Theo Stauren, who was thinking about something for a moment, opened his mouth.
“I would like to mobilize Batalion’s troops, but I can’t because Pheromuros falls first… … . But I don’t want to let such a traitor run wild… … . “Isn’t there a better way?”
Then Count Karl Bamut spoke as if he had been waiting.
“How about sending one platoon instead of the entire Batalion unit? I think that a platoon with reinforced Musketeers can kill even a Grand Master. “Unlike Archduke Knauf, Lagoa doesn’t have any knights by his side, so it will be easier.”
One imperial platoon consists of 100 knights and 10 musketeers.
However, the number of knights and musketeers in the Batalion unit has changed.
The Battalion unit’s platoon consists of 100 musketeers armed with Exitium and 10 knights.
Considering the destructive power of Exitium, it was not difficult to kill a Grand Master who did not even have a guild of knights.
“Do you think there is a need to reinforce the Musketeers?”
The Marquis thought that 100 musketeers would be sufficient since the platoon’s flag bearers were musketeers.
“Because a musketeer cannot match the musketeer’s intuition and quick wit. If you become a musketeer, you can suppress Blink with predictive shooting. “The more musketeers there are against a magic swordsman, the better.”
“I forgot he was a magic swordsman. Good point. Please convey this to His Majesty the Crown Prince. “I will capture him with one platoon reinforced with musketeers.”
“Is this not a kill, but a capture?”
“I didn’t say ‘alive.’”
“Oh, yes. I will convey this to His Majesty the Crown Prince. We will keep you informed of Lagoa’s location through intelligence agents. We are now in Minos, east of Peromuros.”
“Do you know why he’s hanging around Peromuros?”
“I think it’s to show that we can move on to the Confederation of the Southern Kingdoms. There is also intelligence that some of his party went to the Southern Kingdom.”
“part?”
“Yes, Count Larva Omar and the young man and woman have separated from Minos.”
“Are you saying that the Sword Master of the Baelum Kingdom has moved to the Southern Kingdom?”
“That’s right.”
“I guess words really can’t end.”
“Thanks to this, only Baron Fabian Cloud remains by Lagoa’s side. “It actually became a better environment for a capture operation.”
“He might join the Southern Kingdom’s allied forces through Peromuros.”
“Before that, we need to subdue him. “If he joins hands with the Allied Forces of the Southern Kingdoms, the chances of a peace agreement are diminished.”
“Viscount Krano Vanek (Vice Commander Batalion) will take care of it. “If nothing else, he is an exceptional person when it comes to handling musketeers and musketeers.”
When he had nothing more to say, Marquis Theo Stauren waved his hand as if to leave.
Then Count Karl Bamut immediately stood up and saluted.
“I pray that Mana Prass’s blessings be upon the Iron Legion and His Excellency the Marquis. “Then we will leave.”
As the Imperial Army Intelligence staff left, Marquis Theo Stauren summoned Vice Commander Battalion.
***
Eastern Peromuros.
Minos.
Elio and Fabian’s daily routine was always the same.
When I wake up in Mino’s shabby chalet (a mountain lodge in a small southern town), I take a walk around the area, eat a meal, and practice in a quiet open space in the mountains.
Fabian learned swordsmanship, and Elio spent most of his time meditating.
Except when Duke Cillian Hale or Baroness Ashley Nelson came to visit, we always lived the same life as if we were running on a squirrel wheel.
Around noon.
Elio meditated in the shade of the oak tree, while Fabian swung his longsword noisily in the wind.
Shhhhhhhhh! Wow!
The thick, crackling sound of the wind calmed down for a moment.
Then, no sound was heard inside.
Elio, who had been immersed in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes to a fairly heavy wave.
Fabian was still swinging his longsword, but strangely he was quiet.
When I looked at his face, I fell into a trance.
‘Have you become a sword expert?’
At that moment, Fabian’s longsword gave off a dazzling light.
In this world, it is the sword light that is the symbol of a sword expert, called ‘Mana Aura’.
Elio admired the achievements of Fabian, who was like his disciple, with a happy face.
It feels strange to watch a knight from another world unfold the nine world laws with a long sword.
Fabian’s swordsmanship continued as if it were going to break.
Fabian, who had been repeating the nine world laws several times, stopped at some point, perhaps because he was tired.
Elio just watched Fabian quietly with a happy smile.
After a while, Fabian, who had his longsword in hand, smiled and took a step towards Count Elio Lagoa.
“Have you seen it? I am… … .”
Squirt! Wedge—!
Dozens of red lights passed through the clearing along with a sharp piercing sound.
Several of them passed through Fabian’s head and torso.
Puff puff!
Red blood spurted from Fabian’s head and torso.
As a sword expert, he was helpless in front of Exitium, which was created to kill the Sword Master.
A scream came out of Elio’s mouth belatedly.
“No way!”
But Exitium was ruthless.
Fabian’s head was shattered before Elio’s eyes.
In an instant, the days from when he first met Fabian until now flashed before Elio’s eyes like a flash of light.
With a triumphant look on his face, he said, ‘Have you seen it? I am… … The world stopped at the part where he said.
Yep!
My heart, which was harder than steel, cracked.
Only then did Elio realize that Fabian was not just a colleague, but was like family.
I don’t know why I didn’t hear the magic gun firing, but that red light was clearly Exitium.
Marquis Theo Stauren must have moved Batalion’s troops.
‘iced coffee! ‘I was too complacent!’
After provoking the crown prince and the marquis like that, they fell into training without any countermeasures!
It is said that even mice bite cats when cornered, but how foolish is this for they went on as usual even after touching the crown prince and the commander of the Iron Legion!
While Elio was still unable to recover from the shock, nine beams of light suddenly poured out of his body.
It is the Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit that resides in his eight vital energy and eight vital veins.
In a split second, the Nine Heavenly Sword Spirits surrounded Elio tightly.
A beam of red light flew like a thunderbolt and hit the sword face of the Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit.
Puffpuffpuff!
There were many holes in the blade, but the Exitium did not reach Elio.
Meanwhile, the pain of the Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit being destroyed was also felt by Elio.
‘Ugh!’
The pain of having his soul torn apart awakened Elio’s distracted spirit.
Elio soared with the magical power of the enemy.
The Nine Heavenly Sword Spirits spun around his body and ascended to the sky together.
A red ray of light followed him as he ascended to heaven.
Half of them momentarily split the air, and half were stuck in the Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit.
Immediately after Elio disappeared into the sky, swords rained down on the ground.
Mountains collapsed and deep valleys were filled.
Thousands of pits appeared on the flat ground, as if a meteor swarm had fallen.
After a while, Elio came down, stepping through the air.
Elio, who was looking around with a sad face, mumbled with tears in his eyes.
“Fabian… … . It’s all my fault. “Forgive me.”
“… … yes? “Did you call me?”
Elio’s eyes widened at the insanely happy voice.
The dim dawn light coming through the window filled the room.
Only then did Elio realize that he had glimpsed the future with his physical senses.
“Fabian.”
“yes?”
“Leave Minos.”
“Suddenly?”
Fabian looked at Count Elio Lagoa with a bewildered expression.
I don’t know why it suddenly sounded like a thunderbolt, not while I was sleeping well.
