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 down on the snowy field picked up his battered body.
Baron Blavico was no ordinary person either.
If it were other people he would have trembled in front of the commander but he scolded him as if he felt unfair.
“Commander! I was just following His Excellency the Marquis’ orders! Are you saying that I didn’t complain to the Marquis? “If I had protested I would have been in the monster’s stomach by now!”
But Elio is not an ordinary person either.
He walked up to him like a ghost and kicked him once again.
Due to the impact Baron Blavico’s body returned to its original position.
Elio said looking down at the crouching man who couldn’t get up right away this time.
“This guy doesn’t understand the atmosphere. The Marquis is scared and does whatever he tells him to do but do you think it’s okay to confront me? Are you telling me to shut up because I’m more scared of the Marquis than you? The Marquis shuts up and follows no matter how much of an instruction he gives but the Count is a piece of shit so it’s okay to be a piece of shit right? “You fucking bastard!”
As he spoke Elio became excited and began to step on Baron Blavico.
Baron Blavico wanted to make an excuse but a scream came out first.
“Ugh! evil! Ugh—!”
Elio who had been stepping for a while took a moment to catch his breath.
Meanwhile Baron Blavico appealed with all his might.
“no. That’s absolutely not the case. “I’m just the Marquis’….”
“Is this dog selling marquis?”
Elio’s feet danced again.
Blaviko curled his body as much as possible to defend his head and vital areas.
“evil! evil! “Ahh!”
Although the scream was loud it was clear that Elio was kicking because he was still alive.
However the sight of the commander trampling the Baron as if he were going to kill him in a public place was truly a horrifyingly cruel sight.
The soldiers did not make an effort to look in that direction and the weak-minded passed by with their ears closed.
The commander’s attitude toward Ha Geuk-sang was clear.
Even though they were low-ranking nobles who had received the title of baron they were brutally trampled even though it was said to be an order from the marquis.
At the same time the soldiers’ eyes on Company Commander Nelson changed.
The negative rumors that followed Company Commander Nelson disappeared.
Instead of being called a company commander or the marquis’ partner based on his appearance he was called a ‘nobleman who knew chivalry’.
In addition the Bellatos Company was united around Company Commander Nelson.
Now the Western Army paid attention to the commander’s next move.
People’s opinions were sharply divided between ‘No matter what the commander is he will stop here’ and ‘Put the blame on the Marquis.’
Considering the commander’s personality it would be the latter but considering reality he could have chosen the former.
Even if you do Miuni Gouni Marquis Charles Bernardo is everything about the Western Army.
If the enraged Marquis withdraws his army from the Western Army only the Slash Land Territory Army will remain in the Western Army.
It was tantamount to the disbandment of the Western Army.
Is it because of the seriousness of the issue?
Commander Lagoa did not immediately go to see Deputy Commander Bernardo.
While the Raminov Kingdom army was fighting fiercely at the forefront the Eskatos Kingdom army was in the calm before the typhoon.
***
Alexis Kingdom.
Central Army (Escatos Kingdom Army headquarters) Headquarters.
In the conference room the two great nobles who support the Kingdom of Escatos sat across from each other.
These are Duke Stauros Escatos commander of the central army and known as the ‘guardian sword of the royal family’ and Count Matthias Codrantes commander of the eastern army and called ‘the star of Campodeneb’.
Duke Escatos continued his speech with a heavy face.
“…If Commander Lagoa touches Marquis Bernardo now Marquis Bernardo will definitely withdraw his troops.”
Count Codrantes nodded and spoke briefly.
“If that happens the Western Army will be disbanded.”
“We must prevent a conflict between Commander Lagoa and Marquis Bernardo.”
“Will it be stopped? Isn’t it said that the Marquis Goslingnauf was also smashed to pieces in front of his soldiers? “Compared to the Archduchy of Knauf Marquis Bernard is just a small nobleman from the frontier.”
“At that time Count Lagoa was a free knight but now he has the great responsibility of being the commander of the Western Army doesn’t he? “Commander Lagoa is not a tight-lipped person so he will not abdicate his responsibility.”
“I have doubts about that.”
“What do you mean by question?”
“His thoughts are quite open unlike other great nobles but…”
“but?”
“You’re a person who doesn’t know where you’ll end up.”
“….”
Even Duke Escatos could not refute those words.
After a while Duke Escatos opened his mouth with a stern expression.
“Still we have to mediate. We can’t push out the demons with just the Eastern and Central armies. “It is still dangerous and if the Western Army leaves here the operation must be considered impossible.”
“Do you think there will be arbitration?”
“Let’s do it this way. I will try to persuade Commander Lagoa. Count please make Marquis Charles Bernard politely apologize for this incident.”
“Will the Marquis apologize? “They say he was angry that people were messing with his people.”
“I can’t help it. The Marquis must apologize first for this matter. Other than that there is no way to quell Commander Lagoa’s anger.”
“ha! I will see the Marquis as your Excellency said. “But I can’t guarantee the results.”
“To be honest me too. Still let’s do it because it’s the best. If it doesn’t work… then I have no choice but to go and find another way.”
“What if you said there was another way?”
“It would be better to strip Charles Bernard of his title and allow his second son to inherit it. “I don’t think it’s something that His Majesty the King can’t do if he decides to do it.”
“The opposition from Marquis Bernardo will likely be formidable.”
“If the country was taken over by demons would the marquis’ opposition be a problem?”
Count Codrantes nodded his head.
In fact in these lawless times it was not impossible for the King to replace the Marquis for the Grand Master.
It is not a matter of confiscating the title of marquess but rather handing over the title to the next legitimate successor. What should we do?
All you have to do is make up a name for the crime so there is nothing to worry about.
“All right. “I will speak well to the Marquis in an easy-to-understand manner.”
Count Codrantes desperately hoped that Marquis Bernardo was someone who could understand the situation.
***
That evening.
Count Codrantes visited the Western Army and met with Marquis Bernardo.
“…So His Excellency the Duke said that if the Marquis apologized to Commander Lagoa he would let it end without further trouble.”
Count Codrantes was a sword master and much older than the marquis but he was treated with respect considering his opponent’s title.
As soon as he finished speaking Marquis Charles Bernardo hit the table harshly.
“no! Are you saying that now? A noble under my command is lying down after being beaten by Commander Lagoa. I’m not sure if I’ll accept Commander Lagoa’s apology but are you asking me to apologize? You can’t do that. I don’t. When Commander Lagoa was wandering around as a wild man it was our Marquis Bernardo who turned him into a knight. I say this because it was our Marquis Bernardo who made Commander Lagoa what he is today. But is it okay to repay a favor like this with vengeance?”
“Grunt!”
A groaning sound came from Count Codrantes’ mouth.
As his third party he had nothing to say in this case.
As the marquis said it was Marquis Bernardo who turned Elio Lagoa who was nothing but a barbarian into a knight.
It is no exaggeration to say that Marquis Bernardo laid the foundation for success.
When the other person refuted so vigorously Count Codrantes could not offer any more advice and stood up.
The next day.
The Duke of Escatos urgently summoned the great nobles thinking that ‘if Commander Lagoa and Marquis Bernardo meet separately something untoward may occur.’
If the two of them meet alone things could escalate so they created an opportunity to resolve it in public.
Around noon.
Central Army Headquarters.
The great nobles of the Kingdom of Escatos who had gone on a campaign gathered together for the first time in a while.
The only person who was not a great nobleman and participated in the meeting was Viscount Oscar Abid Commander Lagoa’s chief of staff.
This is thanks to the consideration given to the Duke of Escatos by having his chief of staff accompany him as a courtesy to the commander.
Because it was an issue about the magnates who supported the kingdom Duke Escatos led the meeting from the beginning.
Viscount Abid looked around at the nobles with mixed feelings.
I was tormented by the 3rd Army headquarters until late last night over the issue of the vanguard army and now I can’t even rest and have to be called to these pitiful meetings!
This is why you need to get along well with your parents.
If Charles Bernard had been a viscount his head would have been blown off long ago.
I don’t know whether I should blame the world where justice and fairness have disappeared or Count Lagoa who couldn’t tolerate it and messed with it.
While Viscount Abid was sighing deeply Duke Escatos’ speech reached its climax.
“…This started with the wrong judgment of a great nobleman but the restoration of the North should not be delayed because of that. No decision can please me. It’s time to think about the future of the North rather than how I feel. If the western army collapses restoration of the north will be that much slower. Let us not forget that even as we gather and hold meetings the northern residents are becoming prey to demons! Let’s put aside our personal feelings and just think about restoring the North! What answer will the Marquis Charles Bernardo and Count Elio Lagoa give to my proposal?”
The gazes of the great nobles all turned to Marquis Bernardo.
They were all hoping that Marquis Bernard would apologize.
Not only was he the one who started this incident but I also thought there was no way Count Lagoa would give in first.
Marquis Bernardo who had been listening with a stern face stood up.
“I listened carefully to His Excellency the Duke’s words about recovering the North. I completely agree with what you said about thinking about the future. We would like to express our sincere apologies for causing trouble. “I’m not sure if it was a big enough issue for the great nobles to hold a meeting but I’m sorry for taking away their valuable time because of me.”
After finishing speaking Marquis Bernard bowed to the Duke and nobles and sat down.
As soon as Marquis Bernardo finished speaking the heads of the great nobles turned to the other side.
However Count Lagoa seemed to be asleep and did not open his closed eyes.
The inferior Duke Escatos cleared his throat and spoke.
“Hum hum I listened carefully to what Marquis Bernardo said. What is Count Lagoa’s opinion?”
Only then did Elio raise his eyes.
The great nobles held their breath as the bloody eyes poured out for a moment.
Marquis Bernardo instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
He asked me to apologize and he did so as best as he could but what’s the dissatisfaction?
Elio got up from his seat and walked briskly to Marquis Bernardo’s seat.
Marquis Bernardo’s swordmaster stood up reflexively and blocked Count Lagoa.
This is Count Soulis Scarid the new leader of the Order of the Phoenix.
But Elio instead snatched the leather glove from his opponent’s hand.
Count Skaryd was startled when his gloves were suddenly taken from him but he did not ask why.
Finally Elio reached out and pushed Count Scarid’s shoulder to one side – as if he were handling his luggage.
Count Scarid did not dare to hold on and stepped aside.
Since the Sword Master is like that there is no need to mention the Marquis’ sword experts.
No one could stop Elio until he reached the Marquis Bernardo.
