Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1341
Only Noblemtl
Episode 1341. Answer me. Which one?
Fabian could not understand Count Elio Lagoa’s words telling him to leave now.
He accompanied Count Elio Lagoa to places where no human had ever set foot, such as Tameion, the Sky Castle, and even the unexplored regions of the Abyss.
Compared to those things, traveling in the Southern Kingdom was as easy as drinking water.
Even though the Kingdom of Adriatic was at war with the Empire, with Count Elio Lagoa and his sword skills, not a single hair would be harmed.
But leaving?
That was something I never said even when I went to places more dangerous than now.
“Why are you suddenly saying that?”
“I have ‘six magical abilities,’ and one of them happens to show me the future.”
“So, so?”
“I saw you die in Minos.”
“Dead? “Even though you were with Count Lagoa?”
“okay.”
Then Fabian asked back with an expression of disbelief.
“how?”
“I couldn’t even hear the magic gun sound nearby… … . Dozens of Exitiums flew at us. And before I could do anything, you died. If you stay in Minos with me, you will die.”
“You didn’t hear the sound of the magic gun being fired?”
“Before the Exitium flew in… … I didn’t hear it. “After that, I was avoiding Exitium, so I didn’t have time to check.”
“It looks like the musketeers have been mobilized.”
“Musketeer?”
“Isn’t it possible for a musketeer to aim and fire from 1 kilometer away? In addition, if a silencer had been attached to the magic gun, the sound would not have been heard.”
“What is a silencer again?”
“There are great nobles who hunt demonic beasts as a hobby. They said the sound of the magic gun was too loud, so they made a silencer. It is a device that is attached to the muzzle of a gun and absorbs sound. “It’s such an expensive item that I’ve never seen it before.”
If the musketeer had attached a silencer and shot from a distance, it would have been difficult for even Count Elio Lagoa to notice.
“There’s everything.”
“There is nothing that the Magic Tower cannot make. Then isn’t the Count also dangerous? “I heard it was so bad that even the Count couldn’t use his hands?”
“I’m fine because I have developed a sixth sense. At least you won’t be left dumbfounded. But it is difficult to protect you in such a situation. That’s why I’m telling you to leave.”
“All right. Would it be okay if I went to Count Omar’s side?”
“Uh, in the meantime, I’ll finish up Marquis Stauren’s work.”
“What are you going to do?”
“What should I do? “We need to resolve it through conversation.”
“Conversation?”
Fabian looked at Count Elio Lagoa with ambiguous eyes.
Count Lagoa is not a simple ignorant person who solves every problem with force.
However, if dialogue does not work, he is the one who immediately takes retribution.
If you touch the Marquis of Stauren in this situation, there could be a problem with the front line.
“Why are you looking at me like that? “I am a rational and reasonable person.”
“Count, the imperial army is pushing in right now… … . “Did you know that the Southern Kingdom army also has steel golems?”
“know.”
“If something happens to Marquis Stauren, the tide of battle could turn.”
“so? “Get to the point.”
“The war may intensify because of the Count, so please control your strength well.”
“It’s up to the marquis to take that kind of consideration. “Why should I worry about that?”
“Isn’t the ‘spearhead of chaos’ Count Ushas Undraji?”
“what? “Are you saying I’m causing chaos?”
“It wasn’t what you intended, but it seems like it could end up that way.”
“So, that’s not something I should worry about. How many times should I say it? Fabian.”
“yes?”
“I was walking along a forest path and there was a sleeping lion right in front of me. So who should worry about that? Is this someone passing by? “Are you a sleeping lion?”
“He was a person passing by.”
“Do you understand now?”
“But the Count is not just a lion, he is a lion who can think, right?”
“Hehe. They say they don’t know because you’re still a herbivore, but you don’t have to think about lions. “It’s up to the Marquis to think.”
“Look, I mean… … .”
Elio cut off Fabian’s words as he tried to explain something.
“Do you know why knights practice swordsmanship?”
“To become stronger?”
“Why are you doing this to become stronger?”
“That’s how you get a title…” … .”
“Use it!”
Elio frowned as if he didn’t like that answer.
“Or what?”
“I’m doing this to live comfortably.”
“Comfortably?”
“If you become stronger, you won’t have any trouble. Be strong too. Then you will find out.”
“ah… … Is that so?”
“uh. Trust me. So who should do the thinking?”
“Marquis of Stauren?”
“It makes sense now. “I will meet with Marquis Stauren, and in the meantime, you can go to Crasion and help Count Omar with his work.”
“Hey, I understand what you’re saying, but… … still… … .”
“look. Who among us is thinking even now? it’s me? it’s you?”
“Me.”
“If you were stronger than me, who do you think would be thinking?”
“That’s right, the Count.”
“The relationship between me and the Marquis is also like that. If the Marquis doesn’t know that, you should enlighten him. Otherwise, I’ll have to keep thinking about it from now on. “I don’t want to do that.”
“Oh, yeah… … . However, I am saying this out of old age… … . “Please don’t wake me up too harshly.”
“There is a saying in my hometown: “There is no business under the rod.”
“What does that mean?”
“No matter how hard it is, if you hit it, you will understand it.”
“ha! Yes, yes. “I hope you are kind.”
Fabian no longer tried to persuade Count Elio Lagoa.
Actually, he’s right.
The person who needed to worry and care now was not Count Lagoa, but Marquis Stauren.
As soon as the sun rose, Fabian quietly left the chalet where he had been staying.
Elio finished breakfast and leisurely headed to northern Peromuros.
***
Northern Peromuros.
Iron Legion Garrison.
As a man approached the entrance of the garrison, guards blocked his path.
The security leader checked the young man’s attire and spoke politely.
“How did you get here? “This is an Iron Legion garrison, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.”
“I came to meet some people. “If you’re inside, let me know.”
“Who is it that you came to meet?”
“Marquis Theo Stauren.”
“Now I see that you were the corps commander’s guest. What’s your name?”
“Count Elio Lagoa.”
At that moment, the guards looked at the young man again with startled faces.
There was no one who did not know the name of Grand Master Count Elio Lagoa.
The security guard hurriedly bowed his head in greeting.
“It was Count Lagoa. Please wait a moment. I will tell His Excellency the Marquis that the Count has arrived.”
Elio nodded and walked to the shade of a nearby tree.
Meanwhile, the security commander rushed to the Burinake Corps headquarters.
The Iron Legion Command Room.
At that time, the corps commander, Marquis Theo Stauren, was planning an ‘operation to capture Count Elio Lagoa’ with Viscount Krano Vanek, commander of Battalion’s unit.
Viscount Krano Vanek continued his explanation, pointing to the map on the table.
“… … The target spends most of its time in the mountains on the outskirts of Minos. “Currently, the 1st platoon has been deployed to a village near Minos.”
“He is a grand master. If you try to deal with a southern sword master, you may end up being defeated. “You must have made sure to prepare for that, right?”
“Suppressors were specially provided to the 30 musketeers of the 1st platoon. We plan to have the magic gun fired from a distance of more than 1 kilometer. Targets who are lucky enough to survive the Musketeers’ first attack will try to fight back, but will not be successful. Because the 70 musketeers waiting will pour out Exitium.”
“Didn’t you say that the effective range of the musketeers is 300 meters?”
“Yes, it was assumed that the target would approach the musketeers for a counterattack.”
“hmm… … .”
A sob flowed from the mouth of Marquis Theo Stauren.
In the case of the Sword Master, like the Musketeers, he was capable of making long-distance attacks using mana, but most of them were single-targeted.
‘No matter how grand master he is, if he wants to counterattack 30 musketeers, he will try to close the distance, right?’
From that perspective, Viscount Kranovanek’s operation seemed quite useful.
Marquis Theo Stauren, who was nodding, suddenly asked.
“What is Count Omar’s location?”
“It has been confirmed that you are staying in Krathion. We are in frequent contact with the great nobles of the Southern Kingdom. Considering that they have kept their distance from the Southern Kingdom until now, there must have been a big change in their policy.”
“Of course, it’s probably with my revenge in mind.”
“That’s right.”
“It probably means that they are afraid of the Batalion troops to the point of reaching out to the Southern Kingdom Alliance. “Who is in charge of the 1st platoon now?”
“The company commander, Baron Pylos Harwood, is in command of the special operation.”
“I will leave the timing of the start of the operation to the field commander. “It must be finished at the latest before Count Omar in Krazion joins us.”
“I will tell you that.”
As the two people were finishing the meeting, the corps staff knocked on the conference room door and entered.
Marquis Theo Stauren frowned slightly as the staff entered, even though he had not yet given permission.
“What’s going on?”
“Lago… … “The count came to meet the corps commander.”
“Count Elio Lagoa came to visit?”
Marquis Theo Stauren called him ‘Count’ without realizing it.
“yes. It is located at the guard post at the entrance to the Legion. What should I do?”
“What do you mean? The place where he will die is not here, but Minos. Please take them inside politely.”
Marquis Theo Stauren had no intention of fighting the Grand Master directly.
If you’re not lucky, you could end up in trouble, so why do such a dangerous thing?
It is fundamental to strategy that the top commander must remain far away from the battlefield.
After a while, the corps staff came pouring into the conference room along with a young knight.
Staff members who were sword experts had arrived to prepare for any possible conflict.
Marquis Theo Stauren was inwardly relieved as his four advisors lined up on his left and right.
Even if you go into a lion’s den, you feel a little relieved if you are with your companions.
As the two sides split apart and faced each other, Chief of Staff Viscount Kurt Wartner stepped forward.
“Your Excellency the Marquis, this is Count Elio Lagoa. Count Lagoa, the person next to me is Marquis Theo Stauren, commander of the Iron Legion.”
“… … .”
The introductions were over, but Marquis Theo Stauren and Elio did not open their mouths.
Both people seem to be waiting for the other person to say hello first.
The first to break the awkward silence, unable to bear it any longer, was Marquis Theo Stauren.
“What is it with the Grand Master, who is on par with Archduke Knauf, in this shabby place?”
Then Elio pulled a nearby chair and sat down, muttering.
“The Grand Master visited a shabby place, but he didn’t even tell me to sit down. Well, I had a criminal as bad as a dog as my son… … Still, children are children, so I have to put up with it. “If you’re not going to keep standing and talking, Marquis, why don’t you sit down too?”
At the shameless words of Count Elio Lagoa, Commander Battalion and his staff began to breathe heavily.
Because they trusted the Batalion unit, they did not bother to hide their feelings of anger.
The same was true for the corps commander, Marquis Theo Stauren.
Marquis Theo Stauren sat across from Count Elio Lagoa with a stern look on his face.
“According to a thorough investigation by the Imperial Military Intelligence Department, the criminal was not the Scorpion Company Commander, but rather Count Lagoa and his companions. No matter how good Lord Lagoa’s swordsmanship is, he cannot change the perpetrator and the victim.”
Elio, who had been listening quietly, looked at the Marquis’ face and said.
“It’s so strange. When you become a corps commander, even if you sit still, there will be information coming in from all over. Are you saying that because you don’t know the true criminal acts committed by the Scorpion Company? Or do you know, but you’re trying to hide it because it’s your son’s fault? I’m asking this out of human curiosity, so please answer. Which one?”
