Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1455



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1455. Do you think there will be arbitration?

The body of Baron Jamil Blavico, who was only a sword beginner, flew away like a leaf.

Baron Blavico, who had fallen into the snowy field, got up with his body still wet.

Baron Blavico was no ordinary man either.

Anyone else would have trembled in front of the commander, but he swears as if he was being treated unfairly.

“Commander! I was only following Your Majesty’s orders! Are you saying that I did not disobey Your Majesty? If I had, I would be in the belly of the monster by now!”

But Elio is no ordinary person either.

He approached him like a ghost and kicked him again.

The impact caused Baron Blavico’s body to return to its original position.

This time, Elio looked down at him as he crouched down, unable to get up right away.

“This guy doesn’t know how to read the mood. The Marquis does everything he says because he’s scared, but you think it’s okay to talk back to me? Are you telling me to shut up because you’re scarier than me? No matter how fucking stupid the Marquis’s orders are, you just keep your mouth shut and follow them, but the Count is a piece of shit so it’s okay to talk back to him? You fucking idiot!”

As he spoke, Elio, excited, began to stomp on Baron Blavico.

Baron Blaviko wanted to make an excuse, but a scream came out first.

“Ugh! Ow! Eww!”

Elio, who had been walking for a while, took a breather for a moment.

Meanwhile, Baron Blavico mustered up the last of his strength to appeal.

“No, that’s absolutely not the case. I’m just saying that Your Majesty… … .”

“Is this dog selling marquis?”

Elio’s feet started dancing again.

Blavico curled up tightly to protect his head and vital points.

“Ouch! Ouch! Aah!”

Although the scream was loud, it is clear that Elio was still alive after kicking him.

But it was a truly horrifyingly cruel sight to see the commander trample the Baron to death in a public place.

The soldiers tried hard not to look in that direction, and the faint-hearted ones passed by with their ears covered.

The commander’s attitude toward the insurrection was clear.

Even though he was a low-ranking noble with the title of Baron, he was trampled mercilessly even though it was under the orders of a Marquis.

At the same time, the soldiers’ gazes at Captain Nelson changed.

The negative rumors that had been following Captain Nelson have disappeared.

Instead of being called a captain by his looks or a partner of a marquis, he was called a ‘nobleman who knows chivalry’.

In addition, the Belatos Company was tightly united around Captain Nelson.

Now the Western Army turned its attention to its commander’s next move.

People’s opinions were sharply divided between ‘No matter how great the commander is, he will stop here’ and ‘We should hold the Marquis responsible.’

Considering the commander’s personality, the latter would be the choice, but considering reality, the former could have been chosen.

Even if you say it or not, the Marquis Charles Bernardo is everything to the Western Army.

When the enraged Marquis withdraws his forces from the Western Army, only the Slash Land Territory forces remain in the Western Army.

It was tantamount to the disbandment of the Western Army.

Is it because of the seriousness of the matter?

Commander Lagoa did not go straight to meet Deputy Commander Bernardo.

While the Raminov Kingdom army was fighting fiercely in the vanguard, the Eschatos Kingdom army was in the calm before the storm.

***

Kingdom of Alex.

Central Army (Escatos Kingdom Army Main Base) Command.

The two great nobles who support the Kingdom of Eschatos sat facing each other in the conference room.

Duke Stauros Escatos, commander of the central army and known as the ‘Royal Guardian Sword’, and Count Matthias Codrantes, commander of the eastern army and known as the ‘Star of Campodeneve’.

Duke Eschatos continued speaking with a heavy face.

“… … If Commander Lagoa touches Marquis Bernardo now, Marquis Bernardo will definitely withdraw.”

Count Cordrantes nodded and spoke briefly.

“If that happens, the Western Army will be disbanded.”

“We must prevent a clash between Commander Lagoa and the Marquis Bernardo.”

“Will it be stopped? Didn’t they say that Margrave Gosling Knauf was also destroyed in front of the soldiers? Compared to the Archduke Knauf, Margrave Bernard is just a small nobleman from the frontier.”

“Back then, Count Lagoa was a free knight, but now he is the commander of the Western Army, and he carries the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Commander Lagoa is not a closed-minded person, so he will not shirk his responsibility.”

“I have doubts about that.”

“What is the question?”

“His thoughts are quite liberal compared to other nobles, but… … .”

“but?”

“You’re the kind of person who doesn’t know where he’s going.”

“… … .”

Even Duke Eschatos could not refute those words.

After a long time, Duke Eschatos opened his mouth with a stern face.

“Still, we have to mediate. The Eastern and Central armies alone cannot push back the demons. The situation is already precarious, and if the Western Army withdraws, the operation will be impossible.”

“Do you think there will be mediation?”

“Let’s do this. I will try to persuade Commander Lagoa. You, Count, make the Marquis Charles Bernardo apologize sincerely for this incident.”

“Will the Marquis apologize? Rather, he was angry that you touched his people without permission… … .”

“There’s nothing we can do. In this case, the Marquis must apologize first. There’s no other way to appease Commander Lagoa.”

“Ha! I will meet the Marquis as Your Majesty the Duke said. However, I cannot guarantee the outcome.”

“To be honest, I feel the same way. But let’s give it a try since it’s the best we can do. If it doesn’t work… …then we’ll have to find another way.”

“What if there was another way?”

“Charles Bernardo is stripped of his title and his second son inherits it. I think it is not something His Majesty the King cannot decide on.”

“I’m sure the Marquis Bernardo’s opposition will be considerable.”

“Now that the country has been taken over by the Demons, how can the Marquis’s opposition be a problem?”

Count Cordrantes nodded.

After all, in these lawless times, it was not impossible for the King to replace the Marquis with the Grand Master.

What can we do if we are not confiscating the title of the successor, but rather passing it on to the next legitimate successor?

There is no need to worry since you can just make up a charge and stick it on.

“Okay, I understand. I will explain it to you in a way that you can understand.”

Count Codrantes desperately hoped that the Marquis Bernardo would be a man who could grasp the situation.

***

That evening.

Count Codrantes went to the Western Army and met with the Marquis Bernardo.

“… … His Majesty the Duke said that if the Marquis apologizes to Commander Lagoa, he will let this end without further trouble.”

Count Cordrantes was much older than the Marquis, but he treated him with respect, considering his title.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Marquis Charles Bernardo slammed the table violently.

“No! Are you saying that now? A nobleman under my command is lying down after being beaten by Commander Lagoa. Even if Commander Lagoa apologizes, I will not accept it, but you want me to apologize? I cannot do that. I will not. When Commander Lagoa was wandering as a wild man, it was our Marquis Bernardo who made him a knight. It is our Marquis Bernardo who made Commander Lagoa what he is today. But is it okay to repay kindness with enmity like this?”

“Ugh!”

A groan escaped Count Cordrantes’ mouth.

As a third party, he had nothing to say in this case.

As the Marquis said, it was the Marquis Bernardo who turned Elio Lagoa, who was nothing more than a barbarian, into a knight.

It is no exaggeration to say that Marquis Bernardo laid the foundation for success.

When his opponent refuted him too fiercely, Count Codrantes could no longer persuade him and stood up.

The next day.

Duke Escatos urgently summoned the nobles, thinking that ‘if Commander Lagoa and Marquis Bernardo meet separately, something bad might happen.’

They were afraid that if the two of them met alone, things could get worse, so they created an opportunity to resolve the issue in a public setting.

Around noon.

Central Army Command.

The great nobles of the Kingdom of Eschatos who had gone on an expedition gathered together for the first time in a while.

The only non-nobleman present at the meeting was Viscount Oscar Abid, chief of staff to Commander Lagoa.

It was thanks to Duke Escatos’ consideration for Commander Lagoa to accompany him along with his Chief of Staff as a courtesy to him.

Since it was a problem involving the big shots supporting the kingdom, Duke Eschatos led the meeting from the beginning.

Viscount Avid looked around at the nobles with a complicated mind.

I was tormented by the 3rd Army Headquarters until late last night over the Vanguard issue, and now I have to be called to this pitiful meeting without even getting any rest!

That’s why you have to meet good parents.

If Charles Bernardo had been a Viscount, he would have been beheaded long ago.

I don’t know whether I should resent the world where justice and fairness have disappeared, or resent Count Lagoa for being unable to bear it and provoking it.

While Viscount Avid sighed deeply, Duke Eschatos’ speech reached its climax.

“… … This started from the wrong judgment of a great noble, but the recovery of the North must not be delayed because of it. No decision can please me. I must think of the future of the North rather than my own feelings. If the Western Army falls, the recovery of the North will be delayed by that much. Let us not forget that even as we gather for this meeting, the people of the North are becoming prey to the Demons! Let us put aside our personal feelings and think only about the recovery of the North! Marquis Charles Bernardo, Count Elio Lagoa, what will you say to my proposal?”

The eyes of the great nobles all turned to the Marquis Bernardo.

They were all hoping that the Marquis Bernardo would apologize.

It’s not just that he was the one who started this incident, but I also don’t think Count Lagoa would be the first to give in.

Marquis Bernardo, who had been listening with a stern face, stood up from his seat.

“I have heard Your Majesty the Duke’s words about reclaiming the North. I completely agree with your words about thinking about the future. I would like to offer my deepest apologies for causing trouble. I am not sure if it was a big enough issue to warrant a meeting with the nobles, but I am sorry for taking up their precious time because of me.”

After finishing his speech, Marquis Bernardo bowed to the Duke and the nobles and then sat down.

As soon as Marquis Bernardo finished speaking, the heads of the nobles turned in the opposite direction.

But Count Lagoa did not open his eyes, as if he was asleep.

Duke Eschatos, who could no longer stand to watch, coughed in vain and spoke.

“Hmm, hmm, I have heard what the Marquis Bernardo has to say. What is Count Lagoa’s opinion?”

Only then did Elio open his eyes wide.

The nobles held their breath at the murderous gaze that poured out in an instant.

Marquis Bernardo instinctively felt that something was wrong.

I tried my best to apologize because they asked me to, so what are you dissatisfied with?

Elio got up from his seat and walked towards Marquis Bernardo’s seat.

The sword master of the Marquis Bernardo family reflexively stood up and blocked Count Lagoa’s path.

This is Count Soulis Scarid, the new commander of the Phoenix Knights.

But Elio instead snatched the leather glove from his opponent’s hand.

Count Scarid was startled when his gloves were suddenly taken away, but did not ask why.

Finally, Elio reached out and pushed Count Scarid’s shoulder aside as if he was handling a load.

Count Scarid dared not resist and stepped aside.

If the Sword Master is like that, then the Sword Experts of the Marquis family are needless to say.

No one could stop Elio until he reached the Marquis Bernardo.
