Only Noblemtl
Episode 1348. They say an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Eastern Peromuros.
Minos.
It was a little after 1 p.m. when Fabian, who left Crasion, arrived at the chalet (southern mountain cabin) where he was staying with Count Elio Lagoa.
He opened the door to the chalet and stuck his head inside.
“Are you there?”
Then I heard a woman’s voice from behind me.
“who… … “Oh my, are you Fabian?”
Fabian turned around with a sheepish look on his face and bowed to Heidi, the chalet manager.
“Yes, it is me. Where has Lord Lagoa gone?”
“He went out this morning because he had somewhere to go. He said he would come back in the evening… … . “I guess our paths diverged.”
“is it so? Well then, let’s wait inside. “Nothing happened while I was gone, right?”
“There is nothing in particular except that the number of street vendors in the village has slightly increased… … .”
“A street vendor?”
“So… … .”
Heidi was just about to give a detailed explanation.
A platoon of imperial troops quickly rushed to the front of the chalet and formed a formation.
After seeing the imperial troops, Heidi quietly retreated back the way she came and disappeared.
A knight approached Fabian, who was standing in a daze, and spoke.
“I am Baron Raccoon Boer, platoon leader of the 1st platoon of the 36th Division’s Scorpion Company. I am carrying out the orders of the Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Force to arrest you for ‘the crime of colluding with the enemy.’ “I would be grateful if you obeyed me without resisting.”
“You communicated with the enemy? I?”
“exactly.”
“There seems to be some misunderstanding… … . It is true that I am from Crasion, but… … It does not take sides with either the Empire or the Southern Kingdoms. “I am a knight of the Northern Kingdom and have the right to travel freely anywhere in the Empire and the Southern Kingdom.”
“Go to headquarters and defend yourself. “I just came here to take you with me as a junior platoon leader.”
“Again, I am a knight of the North, and I serve neither the Empire nor the Southern Kingdom…” … .”
“Arrest!”
Under the orders of Baron Raccoon Boer, the imperial troops rushed to Fabian.
Fabian reflexively reached for his longsword, but could not pull it out.
Since there were 90 swordsmen and 10 musketeers, there was no way to resist.
Two imperial soldiers tightly grabbed Fabian’s arms from the left and right.
Baron Raccoon Boer said as he passed Fabian.
“Good idea. It depends on the intentions of the great nobles, so please wait patiently. “The crime has not yet been confirmed, so please serve him respectfully.”
At those words, the strength of the imperial soldier’s grip on Fabian’s arm slightly weakened.

Northern Peromuros.
Iron Legion.
In the late afternoon, a man appeared in front of the Steel Legion.
Although he has a youthful face, Elio is actually a little past adolescence.
“It’s quiet.”
Last time, the imperial army came and went non-stop, but now not a single ant baby was seen.
Seeing that the entrance is blocked by a spear made from the sharp end of a log, I think I can understand why there are no people there.
“You want to hide behind the Iron Legion? “If that’s the case, you shouldn’t have touched me.”
When you try to kill others, it is natural to risk your own life as well.
Elio took out an amulet from his pocket and threw it into the air.
The intention is to use the black cloud day technique.
The amulet that was flying through the sky was engulfed in flames and soon turned into ashes and scattered around.
Soon the sky, which had been clear, began to show strange phenomena.
Munch, munch, munch.
Dark clouds gathered over the Steel Legion, and darkness fell in an instant.
Even though he couldn’t see an inch in front of him, Elio didn’t move.
Considering the ability of the musketeers to predict their own abnormal status during battle, the Black Cloud Chail was not enough.
If they wanted to kill only Marquis Theo Stauren and escape, they had to move as secretly as possible.
He quietly recited a Void magic spell.
“Empty things have no form and are therefore invisible [空虛無象不見視]. Heaven and earth are one color and cannot be seen [乾坤一色看不見]. “Be executed quickly like a law.”
The moment the spell ended, his body disappeared.
Iron Legion Command Operations Room.
As dark clouds suddenly gathered in, the staff did not know what to do.
All of the staff stamped their feet, unable to find a way to deal with it, as it was their first time experiencing such an unusual weather event.
In the pitch-black darkness, Legion Commander Marquis Theo Stauren shouted.
“Chief of Staff! “Has anything like this ever happened in the South?”
“I do not know. But I heard that sudden dark clouds are common.”
“This isn’t just a dark cloud! “I can’t even see where the Chief of Staff is!”
When someone among the staff turned on a lamp, I could barely see a human face.
However, because there was only one light, the surroundings were still dark.
Accordingly, the staff urged the nearby guard knights to find something that could be revealed.
Half of the escort knights guarding the headquarters operations room escaped.
Still, none of the staff members seemed anxious.
This is because musketeers brought from the 34th and 35th reserve divisions were guarding the headquarters operations room.
Before we knew it, musketeers had become more trustworthy than knights, but people didn’t say it explicitly.
This is because Axitum has not yet been widely distributed to general units.
Musketeers are not the only ones with a developed sixth sense.
One of the guard knights who was tightly guarding the front of the headquarters operations room tilted his head.
“Frank.”
Then the knight standing next to him asked back in a nervous tone.
“why?”
“Doesn’t it look like someone is approaching?”
“What do you see?”
“no… … “That’s how it feels.”
“Well, I… … .”
Frank, who was mumbling, felt a chill and tried to pull out his longsword.
At that time, something pressed on his shoulder and neck area.
At that moment, Frank’s body became as stiff as a piece of wood.
Eventually, Elio, who had hidden himself, quickly passed between the guard knights who had turned into stone statues.
The door to the headquarters operations room opened and closed alone.
At that moment, the magic guns of the musketeers inside the command center’s operation room burst into flames.
Puffpuffpuffpuff!
Six red beams of light extended toward the doorway.
The surprised staff drew their longswords and gathered around the corps commander.
Elio unfolded the heterocycle and at the same time threw away the coin he was holding.
Shhh shh!
The six musketeers who were hit on the forehead by a one-cooper coin were left helpless.
Soon Elio appeared like a ghost on the other side of the doorway.
Belatedly, the lamp placed in the center of the table flickered several times as if it were going out.
The shadows of the corps commander and staff swayed precariously.
Elio spoke in an indifferent tone to Marquis Theo Stauren, who was standing behind the staff.
“Are you taking everyone with you?”
The staff waited for the corps commander’s answer without even making a sound.
“Kill me and you will become an enemy of the empire.”
The staff sighed lightly at the answer that was far from their expectations.
“What’s so great about the empire? If we lose the war anyway, it will be torn to pieces like the southern kingdoms. “At that time, the princes would have reached out to me for help, right?”
“… … .”
Marquis Theo Stauren said nothing in response to Elio Lagoa’s rebuttal.
As he said, if the principalities became independent, it would have been possible.
Marquis Stauren, who was gritting his teeth, shouted.
“because! Why on earth are you so anxious that you can’t eat me! Wasn’t it enough to kill my son? “What on earth did I do wrong?”
“You tried to cover up your child’s heinous crime as if it was no big deal. “Have you forgotten that you treated the people of the Southern Kingdom like dogs and pigs?”
“I wasn’t treating them like dogs and pigs, I was saying that the status of citizens of the empire and residents of the kingdom are different! Just as there is a difference between nobles and commoners! The values of empire citizens and kingdom residents are different! “That is the imperial law, so how can you say that I am the only one who is wrong?”
“Yah! Look how good he is at talking about being a great nobleman. Yes, your legal rights may be slightly different. But you made it seem like the deaths of innocent kingdom residents were natural. It’s like a dog or a pig is dead. “If you had acknowledged and accepted your son’s war crimes, nothing like this would have happened.”
Then Marquis Theo Stauren immediately changed his attitude.
“Is that what you want? I admit it! My son, Baron Hank Stauren, commander of the Scorpion Company, massacred innocent Southerners and stole their wealth. I will write it that way in the Scorpion Company incident log! Are you done now?”
Marquis Theo Stauren gave up the honor of his deceased son in order to survive.
Marquess Stauren’s name may fall to the ground, but that is better than dying.
‘All you have to do is cover up the dishonor of Marquess Stauren by making a contribution in this war.’
He had to survive to protect the honor of Marquess Stauren.
However, Marquis Theo Stauren was offended by Elio Lagoa’s next words.
“I’m glad you admitted your guilt, even if it’s late. But it is not a sin worthy of death.”
“What mortal sin have I committed?”
“You tried to kill me. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is the law of heaven.”
“Who said that… … . omg!”
Marquis Theo Stauren, who was speaking, quickly turned his upper body when a coin flew out like a beam of light.
At the same time, Chief of Staff Viscount Kurt Wartner’s sword split the coin.
visor-!
Elio threw coins in succession.
Shhh shh!
The chief of staff and his staff reflexively slapped the coin.
In the meantime, Elio took out the ‘Sword of the Void’ from Mahadam.
Afterwards, Elio’s spiritual energy filled the headquarters operations room.
The staff members were under so much pressure that they could not even breathe.
To those who were sword experts, the Grand Master’s energy was like a disaster.
Now that all the musketeers had fallen, there was no one who could stand against Elio.
The sword master, Marquis Theo Stauren, saw an opportunity behind the staff.
‘All it takes is one gap.’
Meanwhile, Elio waved his sword lightly to avoid senseless killing.
The staff members lay down like blades of grass caught in a storm by the violent wind that arose from the tip of the sword.
Marquis Theo Stauren gritted his teeth as the front became completely empty in an instant.
Unfortunately, the opportunity did not arise.
However, it is not possible to throw down fallen staff.
Sensing the end, he screamed as if struggling.
“You accuse me of using my power to treat people like dogs and pigs! Don’t you know that you, too, are using your power to treat others like dogs and pigs!”
“They say an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.”
With the words, Elio leapt forward like a thunderbolt.
Then, Marquis Theo Stauren and Elio’s sword met in the air.
visor! visor! visor-!
Every time the two swords met, sparks flew.
As Elio entered into a fight with Marquis Theo Stauren, the fallen staff stood up one by one.
The staff quickly exchanged glances and then rushed towards Elio Lagoa.
Elio took a step back and swung his sword sharply.
Viscount Kwaza—!
In the blink of an eye, the staff’s swords were shattered.
The bodies of the staff members flew back like fallen leaves due to the surge of energy that followed.
Crash! Boom!
The central table flipped over, shattering the lamp that fell on the floor.
Grumbling!
The fire spread quickly due to the oil in the lamp.
Although the staff belatedly tried to put out the fire, the flames could not be easily extinguished.
Meanwhile, the fight between Elio and Marquis Theo Stauren was reaching its peak.
Yep!
Marquis Theo Stauren’s longsword was cut with a heavy clanging sound.
Elio’s sword stretched out with such force that it grazed Marquis Theo Stauren’s neck.
A bloody line appeared on Marquis Theo Stauren’s neck, and then blood poured out.
When the corps commander, Marquis Theo Stauren, died, the staff quickly left the headquarters operations room.
The black clouds covering the Steel Legion disappeared without a trace, but the headquarters operations room was filled with acrid smoke, making it impossible to see.
Elio, who was looking down at the dead Marquis Theo Stauren with a confused expression, soon kicked off the floor and flew up in a straight line.
Quad deuk!
Elio broke through the headquarters building and soared into the sky and flew east.
As a hole opened in the roof of the building, the flames spread even more violently, soon engulfing the entire wooden headquarters of the Steel Corps.
