Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1356
Only Noblemtl
Episode 1356. If you think about it, it’s not wrong, is it?
Elio looked at the city beyond the collapsed wall with a devastated face.
It is more destructive than any battlefield we have experienced so far.
Nine states also experienced large-scale wars, but this was on a different level.
Buildings were destroyed or completely collapsed due to the magical cannonballs pouring down like rain.
Of course, I have passed through the front lines a few times in this world.
Even then, I saw destroyed buildings in the village, but not to this extent.
The imperial army that occupied the city also fired magic cannons, but they were no match for the quantity.
The magic cannons being fired gradually decreased and eventually disappeared.
However, the magic cannonballs falling toward the city did not decrease.
bang! bang! bang! bang! Kwaang-!
Magical cannonballs continued to fall around the building where Elio was located.
Every time a piece of debris flew, Elio’s body reflexively took action in self-defense.
Thanks to this, Fabian didn’t have to run around like everyone else.
Fabian put down the bowl of noodles he was holding on the table.
I was still hungry, but I couldn’t eat because the stone dust had piled up.
“It looks like a major counterattack by the Southern Kingdom army has begun.”
“It’s terrible. “Don’t you think the imperial army would have poured this much into Peromuros as well?”
“It would have been even more destroyed there.”
The imperial army, which poured into the streets, retreated in disorder to the north.
Rather than retreating, it is more accurate to say ‘running away without looking back.’
Magic cannonballs rained down non-stop on the fleeing imperial soldiers.
The imperial army left the city, leaving behind countless corpses.
After a while, the gunfire stopped like a lie.
And the Southern Kingdom’s allied forces in different outfits entered the city.
Elio muttered inadvertently as he saw the Southern Kingdom allied forces arriving in an orderly manner.
“The Southern Kingdom is also strong.”
“They say he sharpened his sword for revenge after losing the imperial war. “If it weren’t for Exitium, we wouldn’t have fallen behind the Empire.”
“Now there will be a big fight in Peromuros, right?”
“I guess so. “Aren’t you curious about the new weapon against Exitium?”
“If I ask, will you teach me?”
“Lord Lagoa is the best knight in the kingdom, so you never know. “Aren’t our northern and southern kingdoms allies?”
“Shall I stab you? “We have to investigate the manufacturers and sellers of new weapons anyway.”
“I will teach you.”
Fabian believed that the Allied Forces of the Southern Kingdom would readily disclose the information.
Wouldn’t it be great if it was before a major counterattack?
When a major counteroffensive has already begun, what is there to do but hide it?
The first thing the Southern Kingdom army did was collect the corpses lying on the streets and burn them.
Considering the heat in the South, it was natural to do so.
Heavy smoke rose from all over the city in the middle of the night.
As long as we are human, we need to sleep.
Some Southern Kingdom soldiers set up barracks throughout the vacant lot, and commanders searched for available accommodations.
A group of knights approached where Elio and Fabian were.
Casper Hold, the platoon leader of the Reaper unit at the head of the knights, glanced at the two young men blatantly.
Seeing that he did not run away when he saw the Southern Kingdom army during this war, he seemed like a mercenary or adventurer.
Wouldn’t you normally know?
In times of war, mercenaries and adventurers are treated slightly better than residents.
Of course, if there are not enough rooms at a T-pop (southern lodging establishment), they can kick you out.
But surprisingly, even in front of the knights of the Southern Kingdom Army, his face does not change at all?
‘Is this because there are a lot of rooms?’
Casper Hold could only think that way.
You can’t be so calm when you’re about to be kicked out.
After a while, a middle-aged man came rushing out from inside the building.
He rolled his eyes and glanced at the Southern Kingdom troops.
Casper Hold said to the T-Pop owner.
“I am Casper Hold, a knight of the Southern Kingdom Army’s Reaper Unit. “We need five rooms for the company commander, Baron Evan Lore, and the second lieutenants.”
“We have five rooms available in our T-pop… … . I already gave one to the adventurers over there… … .”
The owner of T-Pop blurted out his words.
He had to maintain a good relationship with the adventurers, so he took a step back.
This is because adventurers with vengeance could come and start a fight later.
Casper Hold immediately turned around as if he knew that would happen.
“I don’t know where the adventurers are, but you know what the situation is, right? “I think the meal is over. If you have any luggage, please pack it and leave.”
At Casper Hold’s words, Fabian glanced at Count Elio Lagoa.
Because he is the one who will decide whether to leave or stay.
Elio always punishes anyone who touches him, but he is not the first to start a fight.
Moreover, having served as a company commander in Hirhera, I know the hardships of being a low-level commander.
For that reason, he got up and left the room without saying a word.
Considering the fatigue caused by the war, it was right for him to make concessions.
As soon as Count Elio Lagoa got up, Fabian straightened up.
He was also a former company commander of the Northern Kingdom’s territory army and had no particular aversion to giving up his room to the allied Southern Kingdom commanders.
The owner of T-pop repeatedly bowed his head to Elio and Fabian and said he was sorry.
Elio and Fabian smiled and said ‘It’s okay’ and turned around.
It would have been nice if it had a heartwarming ending to the end.
There are people in the world who are strong and weak.
Bernard Hurt, the company commander’s adjutant and flag bearer, did just that.
He was displeased with the young adventurers receiving the owner’s apology.
If those adventurers had a strong backing, would they have retreated so easily?
That’s a million words.
‘They’re playing around like they can do anything.’
On the other hand, it seemed like the owner was doing it to feed the commanders.
Otherwise, there was no reason to grovel and say ‘I’m sorry’ like that.
Doesn’t this make it seem like the commanders were robbing others?
So he gathered his discomfort and blurted out.
“They are good friends. “Some people are sweating blood on the battlefield, but they travel leisurely.”
When Elio, who was ahead, stopped, Fabian looked back.
Then Bernard Hurt smiled heartily and said:
“Young friend. Be careful on the road at night. We know chivalry, so we let them go, but not all soldiers are like us. Hehehe.”
Fabian looked around at the other knights.
They just sat there and watched as if it was no big deal.
“Are you speaking ill of the people who even gave you their room?”
“It’s not a curse, it’s advice. If a young person’s personality is that sensitive, I can’t use it. The group is waiting for you, so go quickly. Hehehe!”
Right down to the final gesture of chasing something away, this is clearly a mockery for anyone to see.
At that moment, Elio turned around.
His gaze was not on Bernard Hurt but on the other commanders.
Eventually, Elio’s mouth opened.
“Do you also have the same opinion as that article?”
Company Commander Baron Evan Lore frowned at Elio’s provocative tone.
Of course, Bernard Hutt acted like an asshole, but even so, the adventurer’s reaction was excessive.
Such an arrogant attitude in front of the Southern Kingdom army commanders during wartime?
He watched the adventurers’ whereabouts just in case.
I wore gambison (quilted armor), which is rare in the South, and I felt guilty about how little I had maintained it.
However, you can’t relax.
Sometimes, among the great nobles, special species wander around like that.
“Are you a great nobleman of the Southern Kingdom?”
This was just a question for confirmation.
Elio answered the obvious question.
“I have never received a bounty from the Southern Kingdom. So what’s the answer to my question?”
Then Baron Evan Lore narrowed his eyes.
I don’t know what a mere adventurer, not even a great noble, believes in and is so stiff.
Baron Evan Lore, who was secretly annoyed, sided with his lieutenant, Bernard Hutt.
“It is because I am exhausted from a long battle, so please understand. If you think about it, it’s not wrong. “What did you do when we fought the Imperial Army?”
“Has anyone ever encouraged you to fight against the imperial army? Or did the Imperial army invade, targeting the steel golem? It’s not right? A few southern kingdoms near the Great Forest were greedy to monopolize the steel golems, and didn’t that eventually lead to war? What did you do when we fought? I came out after exploring the Abyss. why? do you have a problem?”
At Elio’s words, company commander Baron Evan Lore looked blank for a moment.
It is true that the southern kingdom provided the cause of the war.
But to brag about it so boldly in front of the Southern Kingdom army!
When the company commander blinked at the bone-crushing answer, Bernard Hurt shouted.
“You’re putting the blame for the war caused by the Empire on the Southern Kingdom! This is clear treason! Who the hell are you! “Tell me your place of origin and your name!”
Elio looked at the rude knight with a shocked expression.
As treason came out of the mouths of the Southern Kingdom army, it was wrong to leave quietly.
“No, the Imperial Army staff also said that, but why do you keep calling me, a northern knight, treason? Fabian, tell me who I am.”
Then Fabian greeted Count Elio Lagoa in a noble manner and then spoke.
“Since you are curious about my place of origin and name, I will introduce it. The guardian of the scutum (ice wall) that protects the continent! Rightful ruler of the Northern Slashlands and the Duchy of Lorraine Latinus! A grand master who stands shoulder to shoulder with the legitimate son of the sword, Archduke Kaiser Knauf! A great adventurer who uncovered the mysteries of the Sky Castle and the Abyss! “This is Count Elio Lagoa!”
“… … .”
For a moment, there was silence in T-pop.
The company commander and second lieutenants of the Shinigami unit looked at the two young adventurers with anxious faces.
Fabian said, looking straight at Bernard Hurt.
“And I am not a young friend, but Baron Fabian Cloud of the Kingdom of Escatos. “If the South is an ally of the North, be polite.”
Only then did the company commander and second lieutenant stand up from their seats.
If, by chance, the adventurer was really Count Elio Lagoa, it would be a great offense.
Soon, the company commander gave a military salute to Count Elio Lagoa.
“Your Excellency the Count. I made a big mistake by not meeting you. Please forgive me.”
Elio stared at the Southern Kingdom military commanders with indifferent eyes.
He said he would return the title of Imperial Count, but since the emperor’s approval had not yet been received, he did not specifically correct the title.
“I didn’t know who I was, so there’s nothing to be rude about. I am a knight of the North, so whatever I say in the South is not treason. “You know what that means, right?”
Elio, who was not happy with the attitude of the Southern Kingdom army, immediately dismissed them.
“yes? yes!”
“And just for your information. A little while ago, someone said, ‘We won’t let troops from other southern kingdoms go, so be careful on the night.’”
“Well, that’s nonsense from a crazy guy who usually says anything.”
“You said that nonsense wasn’t wrong.”
“… … “Please forgive me.”
The company commander lowered his head.
I supported that idiot out of repulsion, so even if I had ten mouths, I had nothing to say.
“Anyway, this is what I want to say. “I’ll send all the people who try to come after me here, so you don’t have to worry.”
Elio pointed to the ground with his finger.
“Yes, yes.”
The groveling company commander apologized several times and then left T-pop.
Elio didn’t bother to catch him.
Because it was ridiculous to give up my room to them when my identity was revealed.
The next morning.
The commanders of the Southern Kingdom Army, who occupied the small city of Servo, visited Tipop.
