Episode 1445. Is it true that tonight is the Last Supper?
Slash Land territory camp.
Viscount Meto Robert, Chief of Staff of the Escatos Kingdom Army, remained in his position even after the reunion of Count Elio Lagoa and Baron Fabian Cloud.
It’s not because they don’t have any sense, but because there’s still public work to be done.
Count Lagoa was the lord of Slash Land.
The reason it is expressed in the past is because Baron Cloud has been ruling Slash Land since the disappearance of Count Lagoa.
It’s been five years since Count Lagoa disappeared.
Some said the count had returned to the mountain, others said he had died.
According to Kingdom law, if a person is not found after three years after being reported missing, he or she is declared dead.
Accordingly, Baron Cloud, the Count’s adopted son, became the lord of Slash Land two years ago, and Count Lagoa, who had suddenly died, returned.
Chief of Staff Robert waited for the conversation between Count Lagoa and Baron Cloud to end.
However, the story of the two people who met again after 5 years did not end, even though it seemed like it would end.
“… … “Not long after my inauguration, Howard and Crea got married.”
“So you two became mercenaries?”
“I did at first, but I stopped after a while.”
“why?”
“Because the monster is so rampant. Three or four people from the mercenary group died every day. “I thought we would both die if we let them continue to live as mercenaries, so I called them into the knights.”
“Good job.”
“Now Howard is the knight commander. Mr. Crea is the vice-captain.”
“Did you share it with your network?”
“It’s not about connections, it’s about talent. Do you know how many knights there are in Slash Land?”
“How many are there?”
“doesn’t exist. You shouldn’t think of Slash Land as the Marquis de Bernardo. It is a place so cold and barren that it is inconceivable for people to live there. There are so few people, how can there be articles? Chief of Staff, please tell me something about Slash Land.”
Chief of Staff Robert, who was listening with a smile, nodded and expressed sympathy.
“It’s exactly what Baron Cloud said. There is no talent. Still, thanks to Baron Cloud and Baron Howard, the Slash Land Army maintained its independent status. Now that the Count has returned, he will be different in many ways.”
Fabian asked as if he had remembered Chief of Staff Robert’s words afterward.
“really! Count Lagoa, what will you do now?”
“What should I do?”
“Your territory has been taken over by demons, so you have to participate in the war, right? I’m sure you won’t tell me that I have to go to the Abyss again, right? If that happens again this time, I… … .”
“What about you?”
“I’m not going to the Abyss, I’m going to fight the demons in the north.”
“You are very brave.”
Chief of Staff Robert was surprised by Baron Cloud’s words and only glanced at Count Lagoa.
Up until now, I’ve been wondering where to place Count Lagoa, but if things go as Baron Cloud said, everything will end up being a dream.
Fabian asked as if confirming.
“So, what are you going to do?”
“Of course we have to fight the demons.”
“You’re not going to the Abyss, right?”
Chief of Staff Robert quietly intervened in Baron Cloud’s words.
“It’s not that you won’t go to the Abyss, it’s that you won’t be able to go.”
“yes? why?”
“The Black Sun was the entrance to the Abyss. “How are you going to get there?”
“… … .”
But Fabian did not agree with that.
Because Count Lagoa could fly in the sky.
Elio smiled and said to Fabian, who still had a skeptical look on his face.
“If I need to go to the Abyss, I will go. But now, protecting people from demons and monsters is the priority. So don’t worry unnecessarily.”
Only then did Fabian’s face brighten.
If Count Lagoa says so, it is only a matter of time before the North is regained.
Chief of Staff Robert spoke cautiously.
“Your Excellency Count Lagoa, then, how about taking on the role of commander of the Western Army of the Kingdom of Escatos?”
“… … .”
When Elio did not answer right away, Chief of Staff Robert spoke as if explaining.
“Currently, the Escatos Kingdom army is divided into the Eastern Army, Central Army, and Western Army. Viscount Bernard’s army, to which the Slashland Army belongs, is organized into the Western Army. After the death of Marquis Bernard, the position of commander of the Western Army was vacant… … . We need a great noble to command the western army.”
“There are no great nobles in the kingdom to command troops?”
“In the battle against the demons, we lost many capable great nobles, like His Excellency Marquis Bernardo. The reason why the Escatos Kingdom army was able to regroup in the Raminov Kingdom… … . It was thanks to the sacrifices of those great nobles.”
“All right. “Let’s do that.”
Elio readily accepted Chief of Staff Robert’s proposal.
It was better than fighting with a small army of Slash Land territories.
Chief of Staff Robert’s face brightened.
“Then, after knowing that, I will go back and take action to issue an appointment. By the way, Your Excellency the Count, may I issue an appointment for today’s date?”
“is it so. “There’s no need to postpone what you have to do anyway.”
“yes! “Then I will first return to headquarters and present my message to His Majesty the King.”
In the current situation, the king’s funeral was just a formality, but it could not be omitted.
Chief of Staff Robert stood up, saluted Count Lagoa, and then left.
When only the two of them were left, Fabian said with a smile.
“You have become commander of the Western Army. Congratulations.”
It was an incredibly moving moment for Fabian, who had been with Count Lagoa since he was a knight.
“thank god. “If you had asked me to take charge of Slash Land, I would have been in trouble.”
“What’s the problem? “I can become a staff member.”
“Do you want to be the person who takes away what I gave you in such a poor way?”
“I guess so. Speaking of which, please forget about Slash Land. “If you establish a major this time, we will grant you a larger and more fertile territory.”
“why? “Is it that bad?”
“The land is large, but there are not many people. “You can think of it as having as many people as one city in the Marquis de Bernardo.”
“So are you disappointed?”
“Is that possible? My life has been successful just by obtaining a fief. “Slash Land is not a suitable land for you, His Excellency the Count.”
“Aren’t you afraid that you might give up your position as Lord of Slash Land?”
“Not at all. “Everything was taken away by the demons, so what are you giving back?”
“Then can I become a permanent resident again?”
“Hey, why are you doing that? “I told you that it doesn’t suit you, Count.”
“do not worry. “He is the one who gave away everything he had.”
“Then, I will only trust you, Count.”
At Fabian’s words, Elio says, ‘Tsk, tsk!’ and clicked his tongue.
He said no until the end and said he would only believe the Count.
Still, I didn’t hate it.
Rather, I was grateful that Fabian was greedy for the position of lord of Slash Land. That was because he was saying that he had given him something good.
Slash Land Territory Army Camp.
Cheers erupted during dinner distribution.
Until lunch, all I had was a brick-like loaf of bread and soup without any ingredients.
But the dinner was plentiful.
The brick-like bread was still the same, but butter was added, and the soup contained pieces of meat.
This can be said to be almost similar to the diet of the Raminov Kingdom army.
It’s not just the situation in the Slash Land territory that the food is poor.
What was supplied to the soldiers of the kingdom that lost their country was stale bread and soup without any ingredients.
The northern kingdoms that still had territories provided food support, but it was ridiculously insufficient compared to the army of the northern kingdoms that flocked in.
So, even hard bread and soup were very satisfying.
It was like that until lunch, but it suddenly changed in the evening, so I was surprised.
The Slash Land territory soldiers chatted while eating bread and butter and rich soup.
“What happened?”
“Is this something to eat well before you die?”
“Fuck, this is the Last Supper? No, definitely not.”
“They said it was a special meal just for us.”
“what? So you’re saying that only we are involved in dangerous operations. “I guess it really is the last supper.”
In front of the long-awaited improvement in diet, cries of life and death were heard everywhere.
When morale was so low that there was talk of desertion, the unit commander visited the cafeteria barracks.
The soldiers fell silent at the sudden appearance of Unit Commander Howard Solon.
“Why is the atmosphere like this?”
When Commander Solon asked, Clark, a former mercenary veteran, courageously stepped forward.
“Commander! “Is it true that tonight is the Last Supper?”
“huh? “What does that mean?”
“Suddenly, what’s the cheese? There’s even meat in the soup that was just bland. If this is not the Last Supper, what is? “Just tell me honestly.”
Howard, who worked as a mercenary, was close to former mercenary soldiers, and as a result, he was able to ask questions like this.
Howard, who belatedly understood what Clark said, nodded.
“aha! So, it seems like they are eating a lot of pigs before they are killed, right?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Not at all. “It’s not the last supper, it’s going to get a little better every day.”
“Hey, don’t lie. How can you get a little better every day? “The northern kingdoms continue to lose territory to demons.”
“Hey, Clark. “When have you ever seen me lie?”
“I didn’t see it… … . This time I honestly can’t believe it. “Isn’t there a good chance that the situation in the North will improve?”
“It was like that until this morning. “But now it’s different.”
“What has changed?”
Clark asked his noble superior to the point where it seemed a little rude.
However, they did not back down because the soldiers were even talking about desertion.
This is because if you just cover it up, a soldier could actually desert.
“Today, during the day, a commander was finally appointed to our Western Army.”
“that… … .”
“I’m not finished talking yet. “Listen to the end.”
Clark, who had been slightly hopeful when the unit commander scolded him, closed his mouth with a disappointed look on his face.
‘Tsk! There will be deserters starting tonight.’
When I looked at the soldiers, they all had expressions like ‘well, that’s true’.
“His Excellency Count Lagoa, the great Grand Master who ranks shoulder to shoulder with Archduke Kaiser Knauf, protector of the North, has come as commander of our Western Army. The only thing left for the demons to do is die.”
“… … .”
For a moment, the restaurant fell silent.
Soon, the soldiers who were sitting with dead eyes stood up and said, ‘Waaah!’ There was cheering.
From the next day, the mood of the Northern Kingdoms Allied Forces changed.
His eyes changed from a defeated soldier with no dreams or hopes to one that pledged revenge.
This is all because Count Elio Lagoa, the hope of the North, has appeared.
In particular, the morale of the Western Army seemed to be sky-high.
The Battle of Hirhera by Count Lagoa was once again on the lips of soldiers and knights.
The forgotten Glaches fortress battle was once again in the spotlight.
Children in the North played by imitating the battle between Count Lagoa and the demon lords.
Together with Count Lagoa, the Northern Kingdom prepared a major counterattack.
The Escatos Kingdom army was deployed at the vanguard of the Northern Kingdom’s allied forces.
The northern kingdom’s military supplies were given priority to the Escatos Kingdom army, especially the western army.
Naturally, the quantity and quality of food distributed to the Western Army gradually improved.
At the same time, the status of the Marquis de Bernardo’s army, which had been left in the cold after the death of the Marquis Claude Bernardo, also rose.
After a month of preparations, the Allied Forces of the Northern Kingdom crossed the border of the Raminov Kingdom.
The great human counterattack has finally begun.
