Episode 1444. So you’re alive
Elio waved his hand with a puzzled look at the Baron’s excessive greeting.
“What about Jonan? That platoon leader called me a wild bastard and even pointed a gun at me. You said it was the 3rd Fusiliers of the Raminov Kingdom, right? “I’ll remember that.”
Hearing Count Lagoa’s words, Baron Golan Milos straightened up and spoke.
“dismissal! That’s probably what Midedge said without knowing. Mid-Edge Ensign! Do something! “Without asking your Excellency for forgiveness!”
Company Commander Milos glared at Ensign Zolat Midedge.
Zolat Midedge is the third son of Count Midedge and has not yet received a title, and is merely a member of a noble family.
That’s why he cursed at the Northern hero, the Count of Escatos Kingdom.
Let alone the diplomatic dispute between the kingdoms, his head could have been blown off at any moment.
This is especially true when law and order are in disarray like now.
What can anyone say about the Grand Master killing a Musketeer who insulted him?
No, rather, the northern nobles would criticize Zolat Midedge’s foolishness.
However, Company Commander Milos did not want to see Midedge die.
If something like that were to happen, he would also have to take some responsibility as Mid-Edge’s superior.
Midedge, who was standing with a distraught look on his face, bowed his head before Count Lagoa.
“Ship, Your Excellency the Count! Like the company commander said, I didn’t know. Please forgive me!”
Elio, who had been listening in silence, asked Company Commander Milos.
“Baron, isn’t it a sin to kill someone without knowing?”
“crime… … “It goes.”
“But I revealed my identity to the lieutenant as a nobleman. Despite that, the second lieutenant swore at me and called me a ‘wild bastard.’ If you’re a barbarian, even if the opponent is a grandmaster, do you call him a ‘wild bastard’? Is that the law of your Raminoff Kingdom?”
“no! Absolutely not! “It’s entirely Lieutenant Midedge’s fault.”
Elio turned his gaze towards Ensign Midedge.
“You heard that, right? “Do you have anything to say about your company commander?”
“dismissal! I have committed a mortal sin! Please forgive me just once for the sake of the Midedge family!”
“If the name of Count Midedge comes out of the lieutenant’s mouth one more time, I will kill the entire Count Midedge family.”
Ensign Midedge fell flat on the ground in response to Count Lagoa’s threats.
“dismissal! Please save me just once! “Please save me!”
Ensign Midedge repeatedly hit his head on the ground, shedding tears and snot.
He knew because he did shitty things to others.
This Grand Master can annihilate not only himself but also the Midedge Count family without any hesitation.
Seeing Lieutenant Midedge’s servile and sorrowful appearance for the first time, not only the company commander but also the riflemen and Sargnac secretly turned their heads.
No one dared to get involved in the matter of the Grand Master and Midedge Ensign.
They just hoped that the Grand Master’s wrath would not reach them.
Elio asked in an indifferent tone.
“So-called, do you want to live?”
“yes! yes! Sobbing… … Please just this once… … “Well, please save me.”
“I heard that the Northern Kingdoms Allied Forces are in the Raminov Kingdom. Am I right?”
“Sobbing… … you’re right.”
“don’t cry! You bastard! A guy as high as a lieutenant treats me like a child? “If you cry one more time, I will kill you.”
“Ugh… … .”
Midedge gritted his teeth and held back his sobs, but he couldn’t help the shaking of his shoulders.
Elio continued speaking while looking at Mid Edge.
“I’m on my way to join the Northern Kingdom’s combined forces. Until then, become a servant and serve me. “If you do well as a squire, I will let you live.”
“yes! “I will do well!”
Midedge, the platoon leader, responded that he would do so without getting permission from the company commander.
Elio, who was shaking his head at that, asked Baron Milos.
“Baron, I will use you as my squire. “I guess that’s okay, right?”
Elio emphasized the seed.
This is to prevent the 3rd Fusiliers from giving it a fancy name.
“of course. Don’t pay any attention to White Bear Company. “I will treat Ensign Midedge as having been dispatched as a servant of His Excellency the Count.”
Now that the Northern Kingdoms were united, it was not difficult to send an ensign to the Grand Master.
However, it was a bit embarrassing that the lieutenant was acting as a squire, but it was an issue that the Count of Midedge had to worry about.
After the story was roughly summarized, Elio changed the topic.
“But where is this place?”
“It is the border area between the Kingdom of Raminov and the Kingdom of Fricia.”
“As I said, I am visiting the Northern Kingdom Allied Forces Headquarters. “Which direction should I go?”
“If His Excellency the Earl gives permission, our White Bear Company will guide you to the headquarters.”
“Wasn’t it during an operation?”
“It was during a routine search. “You can switch with the Brown Bear Company waiting nearby.”
“The performance of the mission should not be interrupted for no reason due to directions.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. “When something happened in the company, we would often change duties like that.”
“In that case, I will gratefully accept the Baron’s offer.”
“no. It is rather an honor for us to serve His Excellency the Count. “Then, can we leave as soon as we switch missions with the Brown Bear Company?”
“The Baron will take care of the details. “It’s enough for me to just accompany you.”
“All right. Then we will be leaving in an hour. “I’m going to go contact Brown Bear Company.”
Company Commander Milos paid a military salute to Count Lagoa and then returned with the riflemen.
After a while, Elio asked the knight standing awkwardly next to Ensign Midedge.
“Who are you?”
Jockey Sarnac stood up straight and answered loudly.
“This is Sarnac, the standard-bearer of the Mid-Edge Squadron!”
Unlike the company, the name of the platoon followed the last name of the platoon leader.
“aha.”
Elio nodded.
Since he started out as a second lieutenant, he knew what kind of situation Sargnac was in now.
In addition, I could understand his neutral attitude a little while ago.
“Sagnac?”
“yes! dismissal.”
“You go back to your platoon. Ensign Midedge will have to be my squire for the time being. “You do know that the rider must act as the platoon leader in the absence of the platoon leader, right?”
“yes!”
“You can go and do your job until Midedge returns.”
“All right.”
Sarnac left after paying homage to Count Lagoa’s words.
An hour later.
The White Bear Company departed for Dragot, the royal capital of the Raminov Kingdom.
The distance from the border area to the royal capital is approximately 300 kilometers.
At the moving speed of the White Bear Company, the distance would take about seven days.
While on the move, Baron Milos’ White Bear Company encountered monsters – rather than bypassing them like before – they were annihilated.
Of course, in battles with monsters, the leader was always Count Lagoa.
In fact, the White Bear Company was responsible for cleaning up the seriously injured monsters, but it was recorded as a battle of the White Bear Company.
There were as many as 70 pages of battle reports, both large and small.
Even during the rapid march, they fought ten times a day.
However, there were only light injuries and no serious injuries.
It was a legendary war record that anyone would think was a lie.
***
Kingdom of Raminov.
The royal capital Dragot.
Around noon, a heavily armed company passed through the main gate of the royal capital.
This is Baron Milos’ White Bear Company.
The residents of the royal capital flocked to the orderly march of the White Bear Company members, stained with blood but full of discipline.
Company Commander Milos, who was in the lead, had a stiffer neck than ever.
It was an honor to fight alongside Count Lagoa, but my heart fluttered at the thought of reporting on a battle that would become legendary.
A huge building appeared in front of the White Bear Company, which was walking along the main road on the right side of the royal capital.
Company Commander Milos, who was walking alongside Count Lagoa, pointed to the building and said.
“Your Excellency, that is where the Northern Kingdoms Allied Forces Headquarters is located. “Before the black sun rose, it was the central office of the royal capital.”
“The command center of the Escatos Kingdom army is probably there too, right?”
“I guess so. “Because all the military commanders of the Northern Kingdom are over there.”
When the White Bear Company stopped at the front gate, sentries came rushing out.
Before the sentries could open their mouths, Baron Milos took a step forward.
“I am Baron Golan Milos, commander of the White Bear Company of the 3rd Musketeers of the Raminov Kingdom Army. “I have brought you, His Excellency Count Elio Lagoa, so please open the door.”
At the words of Company Commander Milos, the sentries hurriedly opened the main gate.
The White Bear Company proudly entered the headquarters.
The people of the royal capital who followed behind them cheered all at once when they heard, ‘We have brought His Excellency Count Elio Lagoa.’
If the empire has Archduke Knauf, the kingdom has Count Lagoa.
However, unlike Archduke Knauf, who was active against monsters in the empire, Count Lagoa was missing.
Count Lagoa came to the Raminov Kingdom.
The royal capital Dragot, which had been immersed in a gloomy atmosphere, heated up.
Elio reunited with Duke Escatos, commander of the Escatos Kingdom forces, at the Northern Kingdom Allied Forces Headquarters in Dragot.
And I heard from the Duke of Escatos the news of Marquis Bernardo’s death.
“Marquis Bernardo was killed in action?”
“ha! exactly. The Marquis de Bernardo has also been taken over by demons. Now, his eldest son, Charles, has taken over the title and is leading the army of Marquis Bernardo.”
“ah… … .”
Duke Escatos spoke in a bitter tone to the lamenting Count Lagoa.
“It wasn’t just the Marquis de Bernardo that was taken away. Because we left the Duchy of Escatos and the royal capital emptied. In fact, it can be said that the entire northern part of Raminoff Kingdom has fallen into the hands of demons.”
“What happened to Baron Fabian Cloud?”
“If you mean the Lord of Slash Land, he is safe. I’m in the Marquis de Bernardo’s army with the Slash Land fief. The only difference is that he is a lord who has not sworn allegiance to Marquis Bernardo, so he is leading an independent unit. “If you want to go see Baron Cloud, I will send you a guide.”
Duke Escatos knew of the special relationship between Count Lagoa and Baron Cloud, so he said, ‘I will send a guide.’
“Yes, thank you.”
Elio did not refuse the duke’s favor.
Since he was a great noble of the Kingdom of Escatos, he could be treated that way.
As soon as the conversation with Duke Escatos was over, the great nobles of the Northern Kingdom came one by one to show their condolences.
Among them was the royal family of the Baelum Kingdom.
Elio was relieved to hear the news of Count Larva Omar through him.
Fortunately, it is said that Count Omar’s territory succeeded in repelling the invasion of monsters.
“Of course, if there were demons, the result would have been different.”
Luckily, it seemed like the demons had not yet advanced into the Baelum Kingdom.
After obtaining the desired information, Elio left the operations conference room with Ensign Midedge.
Midedge, who was walking down the hallway, cautiously opened his mouth.
“Well, sir, you came to headquarters… … How do I… … .”
In the meantime, he put aside his pride as an aristocrat and devoted himself to Count Lagoa.
Like other servants, he did not shy away from all kinds of difficult tasks.
From chores to errands, I really worked like a dog.
Now that Count Lagoa had joined the Northern Kingdoms’ Allied Forces, he also wanted to return to his original state.
“That’s why you’re alive.”
“… … .”
This means acting more like a seed.
Ensign Midedge did not dare to protest and shrugged his shoulders.
Just then, a middle-aged man dressed as a knight from Escatos Kingdom approached the two.
“Your Excellency Count Lagoa.”
“who?”
“This is Viscount Meto Robert, Chief of Staff of the Escatos Kingdom Army. “I will guide you to the camp of Marquis Bernardo.”
“ah… … .”
Elio could not hide his embarrassment.
I would have guessed that the guide sent by Duke Escatos was the chief of staff of the kingdom’s army.
Elio, who started life as a second lieutenant in the Territory Army, knew how absurd this situation was.
“Tsk! I am sorry. They said they would send a guide, so I thought an adjutant would come… … .”
“no. This is a position I requested from the commander. “I wanted to have His Excellency the Count up close at least once.”
That was true.
Aside from his feelings of reverence for the Grand Master, it was necessary – as Chief of Staff – to get to know Count Lagoa, the greatest force in the North.
As I left the headquarters building under the guidance of the Chief of Staff, a carriage approached.
After a while, the carriage carrying the three people ran towards the military garrison of the Marquis Bernardo.
