Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1357
Only Noblemtl
Episode 1357. You can probably get at least one principality.
Chief of Staff Viscount Ikov Saiha sent a glance to Baroness Sofia Orlova, Chief of Staff.
Baroness Sofia Orlova, a blonde beauty who appeared to be in her twenties, nodded with a determined expression.
Eventually, she went inside through one of the collapsed walls of the T-pop (a southern lodging establishment).
There were only two young men eating inside the T-pop.
After checking the young people’s attire, Baroness Sofia Orlova slowly approached them.
‘You really are wearing gambison (quilted armor).’
At first glance, I couldn’t understand why it was Gambison in this hot weather.
On the other hand, I felt the stubbornness of the northern knights, which was a bit of a burden.
When the young people glanced around, Baroness Sofia Orlova hurriedly opened her mouth.
“hello? I’m very sorry during the meal. I am Baroness Sophia Orlova, a member of the staff of the Skull Legion of the Kingdom of Adriatic. “Are you Count Elio Lagoa and Baron Fabian Cloud from the North?”
When the rarely seen beauty asked, Fabian quickly stood up.
“I am Baron Fabian Cloud. This person is Count Elio Lagoa. “What brought you here?”
Then Baroness Sofia Orlova smiled and said,
“It is an honor to meet you first. “Count Dipon Cornelia, commander of the Skull Legion, wishes to meet Count Lagoa, the hero of the North.”
She paused for a moment and glanced at the table.
I was lucky.
Seeing that the plates were empty, it seemed like they had just finished eating.
“The commander is now in front of T-pop. “If it’s not rude, can I bring you in now?”
Fabian nodded vigorously.
“It’s possible. “Don’t be like that.”
Baroness Sofia Orlova looked at Count Elio Lagoa as if confirming.
Baron Cloud, a low-ranking noble, responded to the Count’s intention, a high-ranking noble, without even asking, so he acted reflexively.
Elio unconsciously nodded when the woman looked at him.
Only then did Baron Sofia Orlova speak with a relieved face.
“thank you. “I will bring you.”
After speaking, she bowed silently, then turned around and walked out.
As Fabian couldn’t take his eyes off her back, Elio clicked his tongue and said ‘tsk tsk’.
“When are you going to come to your senses?”
“why? Do you feel like the aftereffects of mental magic are still there?”
“It’s because I feel like women can’t come to their senses.”
“Me? Is that possible? Not at all. He won’t even look at a woman unless she’s beautiful. “Please don’t label me as someone who is crazy about women.”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
“No. It’s natural to be attracted to beautiful ladies. “That is the original law of nature.”
“Whew. Let’s not talk. “Did you send a letter to Miss Sarah?”
“You said something last time, so I sent it… … . Will you get an answer?”
Elio said, ‘Why do you think there won’t be an answer?’ The moment I was about to ask, the Skull Legion commanders came in through the collapsed wall.
Elio also slowly got up from his seat in response to the visit from the Southern Kingdom’s great noble.
Baroness Sofia Orlova, a member of the staff, introduced both sides in the middle.
After greeting each other, Baroness Sofia Orlova took a step behind the corps commander.
Fabian, who was only a baron, also noticed and fell back.
Naturally, Count Dipon Cornelia and Count Elio Lagoa sat across from each other.
Swordmaster Count Dipon Cornelia smiled and began speaking.
“I never expected to see His Excellency Count Lagoa, the living legend of the North, here. “It is an honor to meet you.”
“It was nothing. “By the way, what are you doing so early in the morning?”
Elio, who was not sociable by nature, gave up and got to the point.
Count Dipon Cornelia was a little embarrassed, but answered without showing it.
“I didn’t come here because I had any special business. Little by little, the situation in the North is becoming known to the Southern Kingdom. If anyone knows what you did in Hirhera… … . “Anyone would have come running and asked to see him.”
“aha. “You’re saying you didn’t come because you had other business to do?”
“yes.”
“thank god. “I’ve been cautious about meeting anyone since his close associate, Baron Cloud, was arrested by the Imperial Army a few days ago.”
“Huh! Has that ever happened? The imperial army is crazy. Wasn’t the reason your Excellency, a northern nobleman, received the title of Imperial Count to avoid getting involved in the war?”
“I did.”
“Even the Southern Kingdom knows… … . Why did the imperial army take such unreasonable measures? Moreover, this is ahead of a major counterattack by the Southern Kingdom army. “It appears that the Imperial Army staff did not do their job?”
“I was curious too, so I went to see the crown prince and asked him about it. Then they said it was an arbitrary action by the Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Force General Headquarters.”
“Chief of Staff? Isn’t the chief of staff of the expeditionary force Marquis Reid Kostock? I heard that he is a fairly rational person… … . “Why did you shoot me in the foot?”
“I think he did it to show his loyalty to the crown prince.”
“Oh my!”
“Recently, the crown prince’s closest associate tried to kill me and died by my hands. “I think he thought the crown prince’s face had fallen to the ground because of that.”
“ah!”
“I couldn’t touch it, so instead I touched Baron Cloud.”
“If it had been done at the direction of the Chief of Staff, wouldn’t Baron Cloud have had a hard time?”
“I was a little bit affected by mental magic… … . “I’m a person who was always good at talking nonsense, so I’m not sure if it’s an aftereffect or not.”
“her… … .”
Count Dipon Cornelia could not bear to continue speaking.
It was difficult to tell how much was serious and how much was a joke.
‘Is this perhaps a northern joke?’
Considering the barren North, even greater self-torture is not incomprehensible.
Count Dipon Cornelia glanced at Count Elio Lagoa.
“Do you think your relationship with the empire will not be the same as before?”
“There is a saying in my hometown: “The tree tries to stay still, but the wind doesn’t stop.”
“iced coffee!”
Count Dipon Cornelia thought, ‘As expected from a barbarian, the analogy is very natural.’
‘Are you saying that the wind just shakes the trees?’
That means, ‘even if the empire shakes him, he will not fight.’
It was disappointing for the Southern Kingdom, but I wasn’t overly disappointed.
This is because he is confident that ‘if the steel golem plays its role, the imperial army can be defeated.’
While he was compiling his thoughts, Elio suddenly asked.
“But can we say that the Southern Kingdom’s great counterattack has now begun?”
“yes. That’s right. Not only the Adria Kingdom, but also the Southern Kingdom Allied Forces gathered in the Dnirov Kingdom and the Urum Kingdom are advancing toward Adria. The Empire will despair before the power of the true Southern Kingdom. The Southern Kingdoms plan to use this opportunity to dismantle the great evil that is the Empire. If we do that, the central region will never again be able to set its sights on the southern treasures.”
Elio clicked his tongue inwardly.
Treasure of the South means, of course, a steel golem.
How greedy is this to dismantle an empire in order to monopolize it?
“If the Southern Kingdom has a large number of steel golems… … . “I wonder if an empire will be established in the South by then?”
The Londinium Empire also started out as a small city-state.
It then waged wars of conquest and eventually became an empire, and it seemed certain that the southern kingdoms would follow the same history.
“It is better to dominate than to be dominated by someone.”
“… … .”
Elio clicked his tongue at Count Dipon Cornelia’s blatant words.
‘Tsk tsk! This guy or that guy… … .’
Regardless of whether you are in the upper or lower world, people seem to do the same thing.
“I heard that there is a new weapon in the southern kingdom… … . Can it defeat the Empire’s Exitium?”
“her! How did you know that? “It’s a secret that hasn’t been revealed to the outside world yet.”
“There is a member of my group, Count Larva Omar, in Krazion.”
“iced coffee! You said so. I also saw him in Krazion. Let me tell you, you already know. The Southern Kingdom purchased a new material called artenium from the Magic Tower.”
“Artenium?”
“It is an immortal new material that cannot be destroyed even if it is hit by Exitium. It can protect the steel golem.”
“You made something like that in the Magic Tower?”
Elio was shocked.
‘Are wizards crazy?’
They sold Exitium, a spear that could pierce anything, to the Empire, and Arthenium, a shield that could block anything, to the Southern Kingdom.
“It probably means that Mana Ptras hasn’t abandoned the southern kingdom. It won’t be long until the empire falls. Your Excellency, why don’t you help the Southern Kingdom, which is now an ally? With your ability, you will be able to obtain at least a principality after the war. “It seems good to have the emperor’s decree.”
Count Dipon Cornelia secretly attempted to appease Count Lagoa.
Even if you are a sword master, you are called a one-man army, but your opponent is a grand master.
It can be seen that it has the same force as a group army.
Consider a group of troops with great mobility.
It may be a somewhat profane expression, but on the battlefield, the Grand Master is a god.
The time it takes to take down the Londinium Empire will be greatly shortened.
Fabian’s face, who was listening from behind, turned red.
After Count Lagoa said he would ‘return the imperial title’, Latinus (the territory of the Duchy of Lorraine) was given up.
I was satisfied with being the next lord of the Northern Slash Land, but now that I hear it, it looks like he could become the next king?
‘Say you’ll help!’
In any case, the relationship between Count Lagoa and the empire had long since broken down.
In particular, the crown prince will never ignore the humiliation he suffered this time.
Considering Count Lagoa’s departure, the empire must disappear.
‘please!’
Fabian’s heart beat faster.
It doesn’t matter whether you can keep the throne or not.
Isn’t the opportunity to sit on the throne precious in itself?
Fabian, who was extremely excited, heard the calm voice of Count Elio Lagoa in his ears.
“Thank you for your words. “As long as the emperor is not against me, I will never enter this war.”
Elio, who was leaving anyway, had no interest in the throne.
Moreover, if Ushas Undra is in the imperial territory, you have to travel around the empire to catch him, but if you become an enemy of the empire, your activities will be difficult.
So it was better to remain neutral until the end.
For a moment, Fabian’s face crumpled.
‘Ah, it was good, but then it ended.’
I thought I would be lucky enough to sit on the throne, but the opportunity passed before my eyes like lightning.
Baroness Sofia Orlova whispered to him as he looked helpless.
“Can you take a moment?”
Fabian’s heartbeat quickened again as he smelled the fragrant beauty.
“yes.”
When Baron Cloud nodded vigorously, Baron Sofia Orlova motioned for him to follow and then quietly walked out.
Fabian followed her like an obedient puppy.
Although the offer of conversion was rejected, the corps commander, Count Dipon Cornelia, did not immediately rise from his position.
But it’s not like we talked about anything great.
He – uncharacteristic of a commander at the forefront of a great counterattack – spent his time telling seemingly trivial stories.
Thanks to this, Elio was able to obtain a lot of information about Artenium.
The conversation between the two ended after about 30 minutes when Baroness Sofia Orlova and Fabian Cloud returned.
Immediately after the Adriatic Kingdom army commanders left, Elio asked Fabian.
“Where did you go earlier?”
“yes? Where do you say I went?”
“okay? “Didn’t you see it when I looked around for a moment while I was talking?”
“Oh, I went to the bathroom for a moment. Don’t you have to get permission from the Count to go to the bathroom?”
“When did I say that? Why are you so sensitive? It’s suspicious. “Does it smell a bit?”
As Elio sniffed, Fabian slowly took a step back.
Elio, who was tilting his head, suddenly frowned.
“hey! “You come here!”
