Episode 1452. why me? A thirsty man must dig a well

At Count Elio Lagoa’s words, ‘Let’s take turns taking charge of the vanguard,’ the complexions of Raminoff and the commanders of the Kingdom of Avalon changed.

In fact, in the case of Raminoff and the Kingdom of Avalon, they were mainly exterminating the remnants of the demons that had been destroyed by the vanguard.

If you are unlucky enough to be in the vanguard and encounter a legion led by a demon lord, you should worry about annihilation, not expulsion.

It seems like he ended up putting his head in a noose while trying to hold back the Escatos Kingdom, which is doing a good job.

Raminoff and the Avalon Kingdom commanders were embarrassed and tried to change their positions.

But Elio continued talking without giving them a chance.

“They say Thanatos should be paid equally to all kingdom troops, but they say they can’t just stand at the vanguard… … You’re like a snake, aren’t you? I don’t think there’s anything like that snake in our Northern Kingdoms. Also, no one would want to run to the front lines and leave such a snake cub behind. I will sever the head of such a bastard, regardless of his status, in a duel right here.”

“… … .”

A heavy silence filled the 3rd Army headquarters conference room.

In the North, there are numerous anecdotes about Count Lagoa.

One of them is duel.

During his time as a knight, he pitted everyone from barons to counts through duels.

This isn’t just the case in the North.

In the Empire, he even destroyed the sword master of the Archduke Knauf family.

This is Count Lagoa, who has so far dealt with all opponents through the legal process of dueling.

The next famous thing is to ‘keep what you say.’

Due to the nature of Count Lagoa, who overused duels and kept his word, if he was pointed out as a snake bastard, he would definitely be killed.

Even if it is Raminov III, the commander of the Raminov Kingdom army.

The eyes of Prince Kirill Bouba, commander of the 3rd Army, were directed to Raminov III.

This is because he is the head of the anti-Escatos Kingdom faction and the person who made the issue of Thanatos supply public.

‘What a terrible bastard… … .’

Raminov III gritted his teeth inwardly.

The reason Thanatos’ distribution was raised was in preparation for the end of the war with demons.

What he was aiming for was a record that ‘the supply of Thanatos on the Eastern Front was not fair.’

This is because even leaving just one such record could have a negative effect when evaluating the achievements of the Escatos Kingdom army in the future.

If the Escatos Kingdom army protested against Thanatos’ supply delay, it would end with them pretending to make concessions and withdrawing.

But why don’t we take turns being the vanguard?

Of course, there’s nothing you can’t do if you want to.

The Northern Kingdom changed its swordsmen to musketeers a long time ago.

If Thanatos is properly supplied, dealing with demons is not difficult.

The demon lords were the problem, but since the number of demon lords was not large, it could be avoided by constantly using the scouts.

‘If you feel in danger, you can retreat to the Escatos Kingdom army camp… … .’

The commander of the 3rd Army, Bouba, who was waiting for Raminov III’s answer, asked.

“His Majesty Raminov III, what will you do?”

Raminov III looked at Duke Iskra Raminov.

Duke Raminov shook his head.

To be the vanguard against an army of demons!

Even if the Northern Kingdom army was armed with Thanatos, it would be impossible.

Moreover, all the demons they had fought so far were remnants of their defeat.

The demons who were smashed and scattered by the vanguard army fled at the mere sight of the human army.

You should not blindly trust your experience fighting such demons.

Now I must please Count Lagoa unconditionally.

But unfortunately, Raminov III had no intention of doing so.

“If you can supply Thanatos to Raminoff and Avalon Kingdom as much as Eskatos Kingdom, I will do so.”

The commander of the 3rd Army, Bouba, hurriedly responded to conclude the matter.

“All right. We will take steps to ensure that the vanguard does not feel like there is a shortage of Thanatos. So which kingdom will take the lead in the operation to restore the Kingdom of Alexis?”

“Let Raminov do it. “Are you okay?”

Raminov III looked at Duke Jeff Dima, commander of the Avalon Kingdom forces.

“yes.”

Duke Dima reluctantly nodded.

I didn’t feel like it, but I had no choice when Raminoff III showed up like that.

Just like that, the Kingdom of Raminoff walked to the gates of hell of its own will, without anyone leaving behind it.

***

The Escatos Kingdom army’s rest time has become longer.

Meanwhile, the Kingdom of Raminov was at the forefront of recovering the Kingdom of Aleks.

The Escatos Kingdom army fell into the left rear, which was occupied by the Raminov Kingdom army.

The western army, which had been fighting against demons on the front lines of the eastern region, was in a festive mood every day due to the sudden happiness that had come.

Even though there were not many casualties thanks to a capable commander, just being on the front line was hard work.

Not only did I have to stay alert all day, but I couldn’t disarm even when I was resting.

Commanders did not take off their shoes even when sleeping.

But life in the cove was different.

Since the Raminov Kingdom was at the forefront, all we had to do was scout around the garrison.

Even the demons I occasionally encountered were nothing compared to the demon army.

The order of battle was the same as before.

The moment the demon is encountered, the commander’s primary attack begins.

The demons, surprised by the commander’s attack, ran away with ten of their tails missing.

All the Western Army did was shoot magic guns at the backs of the demons’ heads.

What has changed is the supply of Thanatos.

Unlike before, the Escatos Kingdom army was not sufficiently supplied with Thanatos.

Still, the Western Army did not protest against the 3rd Army.

This is because the condition of the Raminov Kingdom army, as reported through the 3rd Headquarters supply unit, was miserable.

Alexis Kingdom.

Western Army Headquarters.

Immediately after receiving the third supply, the Chief of Staff visited Commander Lagoa.

“Commander.”

“why?”

“Have you heard any news from the Deputy Commander about the Raminov Kingdom Army?”

“Do I have to listen?”

“yes. “It’s serious.”

“To what extent? “You said you haven’t even met the demon lord yet?”

In Elio’s opinion, it would be worth fighting as long as it wasn’t a demon lord.

This is because the firepower of the Raminoff Kingdom army, armed with sword masters, wizards, and Thanatos, overwhelms high-ranking demons.

“I also thought that as long as I didn’t meet the monarch, I would be able to endure to some extent. “That’s not it.”

“Aren’t you complaining for no reason just to get out of the vanguard?”

“This was directly reported by the head of the supply unit at the 3rd Army Headquarters.”

“To what extent?”

“The casualties of the Laminov Kingdom army have already exceeded 5,000.”

“There are 20,000 Raminov Kingdom troops… … “There are 5,000 casualties?”

“That’s right.”

“hmm!”

A heavy sob came out of Elio’s mouth.

Five thousand people in thirty days was by no means a small number.

It usually takes about three months to pass through one kingdom.

Elio, who thought that far, said without thinking.

“The Raminov Kingdom army will disappear before the restoration of the Alexis Kingdom?”

“That’s right. “If you encounter powerful demons, you can suffer destruction-level damage in just one or two battles.”

“No word from the 3rd Army Headquarters?”

“I guess I’m watching the Commander’s thoughts.”

“me? “What did I do?”

Elio had completely forgotten what he had said at the 3rd Army Headquarters.

“I heard that the commander strongly insisted that the three kingdoms should take turns taking charge of the vanguard? “I heard that he said he would kill even the king if we objected.”

“That’s a slightly different context. I mean that if we are going to supply Thanatos equally, we should take turns taking charge of the vanguard… … .”

“Is that so? But why does the 3rd Army Headquarters Supply Division Commander know that way?”

“I don’t know.”

Elio shrugged his shoulders with an expression of resentment.

“Anyway, it seems that the 3rd Army Headquarters is watching the Commander. I also hate the Raminoff Kingdom, but… … . “I don’t think it’s a good idea for them to be annihilated by demons.”

“So what?”

“Commander, how about visiting the 3rd Army Headquarters?”

Chief of Staff Abid thought that the problem would be resolved if Commander Lagoa cleared up the misunderstanding at the 3rd Army Command.

“why me? “He who is thirsty must dig a well.”

Elio flatly refused.

Chief of Staff Avid suggested several more times, but Elio did not listen.

That evening.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Elio became and visited the Slash Land territory army camp.

He went to see Lord Fabian, who he could communicate well with.

Fabian, who was lounging around in the barracks, got up in surprise.

“Count?”

Elio flopped down on the chair across from Fabian with a tired face.

“What were you doing?”

Fabian, who had been standing awkwardly, answered by pressing his buttocks against the chair again.

“As you can see, I was resting.”

“Do you like it?”

Fabian nodded with a shameless face to the unexpected question.

“of course. “It’s very sweet.”

“The casualties of the Laminov Kingdom army are five thousand. “In thirty days.”

“It’s crazy. “You fought against an army of demons?”

“If we had fought the demon army, there would have been five thousand survivors.”

“Thanatos must have been well supplied, so why is it like that?”

“Fighting is about the heart. Do you think it will be easy to fight against a demon full of fighting spirit?”

“ha! “I didn’t know the difference would be that big.”

An exclamation flowed from Fabian’s mouth.

If you think about it, the Western Army’s opponents so far have been demons who have lost their will to fight.

“Earlier, the Chief of Staff asked me to go to the 3rd Army Headquarters, but I refused. Raminov III did it himself, so why should I take action? is not it?”

“But according to what the Count said, shouldn’t you be in the vanguard, whether it’s Raminoff or the Avalon Kingdom?”

Fabian glanced at Count Lagoa.

This is because in the kingdoms of Raminoff and Avalon, there is no one capable of subduing the demons like Count Lagoa.

“I didn’t tell you to do it. “Raminov III said he would do it.”

“Raminov III is famous for his pride. Because of that, he does a lot of shit. “I heard he threatened to kill everyone at the Third Army headquarters if the Count didn’t play fair?”

“I?”

Elio blinked in surprise at the unexpected words.

I was confused as the Chief of Staff and even Fabian said the same thing.

‘Did I really say that?’

Speaking of the Three Holy Tigers, Elio finally came to doubt his own memories.

“I heard there were rumors. The Count’s personality is like that. “Raminov III will never bow first.”

“Even if the Raminov Kingdom army is destroyed?”

“Can’t we just recruit soldiers again? “If we adjust the conscription age, we can easily reach 20,000 people.”

“You’re a little scary.”

“I’m saying Raminov III will do that.”

“You pretend not to notice even if 20,000 people die because of your pride?”

“Raminov III would shift the blame to the Count. “It was already rumored that the Count had told him to do so.”

“I didn’t ask you to do it. “I decided to do it.”

“People naturally sympathize with the weak. “There are rumors, so it would be better to accept the chief of staff’s recommendation.”

“Ah, shit!”

Elio, who was grumbling, looked around nervously.

“What are you looking for?”

“If you have any moonshine, give it to me.”

“Please be patient. “If you drink alcohol in this situation, the situation will only get worse.”

“There are no rumors, man. Do I look like the type of person who would get drunk just by drinking a sip of moonshine?”

As Elio rolled his eyes, Fabian reluctantly took out the hidden moonshine.

Elio, who was drinking a bottle of moonshine, asked as if he suddenly remembered something.

“really! “How’s things going with Sir Sarah?”

“Is now the time to talk about Lord Sarah?”

“Don’t change your mind.”

“I couldn’t even contact you when the Western Army was at the forefront… … . These days, I am visiting the central military camp to meet with them.”

“Lord Sera is a saint. “I meet all the playboys like you.”

“When are you talking about the enemy? By the way, do you remember Baroness Ashley Nelson?”

“Korvo Magic Legion Guard Knight?”

“Yes, it’s been a while since I left the Corvo Magic Legion and returned to my hometown. However, not long ago, he took over as commander of the Bellatos unit, which was left vacant after Baron Erwin Leather died. “It was said that the Marquis appointed him directly, but there seems to have been a lot of gossip about that.”

“why?”

“Marquis Charles Bernardo, who inherited the title, is still unmarried.”

“aha.”

Elio nodded.

It was only natural that the great nobles were directly involved in the baron’s personnel affairs.
