Episode 1066. Hirhera’s guardian,
Marquis Bernardo, believed that Baron Elio Lagoa knew the most about warlocks.
It was he who discovered the warlocks in Tamion, and it was he who clashed with the warlocks.
However, unlike the Marquis’ expectations, Elio knew very little about the black magicians.
“That’s right. I also want to ask about the warlocks when I catch them.”
Elio shook his head excitedly.
Even if they are black magicians, they are not human after all.
But I don’t know why humans are trying to break the ice wall and bring demons into the human world.
The leader of the Order of the Phoenix, Earl Allen Fares, intervened.
“Warlocks are those who have given up being human. Isn’t the thought itself closer to that of a demon than a human? They’re doing it to dedicate the Rodina continent to the demons.”
It was an extreme claim, but Marquis Bernardo and Helio could neither agree nor oppose it. Because as of now, I can’t think of any other reason to overturn it.
As the three talked about warlocks, someone outside the barracks said.
“Squadron commander. The chief of staff has come to visit.”
“uh? I get it.”
Elio got up and went to the entrance, but the chief of staff, Viscount Meto Robert, opened the curtain and entered.
Viscount Meto Robert, who discovered Marquis Bernardo and Count Ellen Fares, laughed and silently bowed without embarrassment.
“The Great General and the leader of the Phoenix Knights arrived first. Can I have a joint? If not, I will visit you later.”
Count Ellen Parres turned his gaze to Marquis Bernardo.
Marquis Bernardo nodded with a grave face.
“It’s small, but come and have a seat. Even if it wasn’t so, I needed the wisdom of many people.”
Viscount Meto Robert nodded repeatedly before taking an empty seat.
Count Ellen Fares briefly told the chief of staff about the demons and the black magicians.
The four of them put their heads together and exchanged opinions, but it was there.
When no more new stories came out, Marquis Bernardo changed the subject.
“But the chief of staff did not confirm the reason for his visit. What did you come for? If it’s something we shouldn’t hear, I’ll walk away.”
The Marquis followed the same story Viscount Meto Robert had just said.
“no. Since they tracked the demons, I came to see if there was something I should know about. But as you know, as soon as I sat down, the Knight Commander spoke to me, and my curiosity was resolved.”
“I see. really! I heard that an envoy was also sent to Raminov Kingdom. What did they say?”
The Raminof Kingdom was one of the northern kingdoms adjacent to the Baylem Kingdom.
“They said they would send a local inspection team first before dispatching troops.”
“Would you like to check it yourself? It sounds like you don’t believe us.”
“Because exchanges between the Raminov royal family and the Escatos royal family are not active.”
The chief of staff talked about the relationship between the Raminov royal family and the Escatos royal family.
“So, when will the inspection team be sent?”
“Even that was not notified.”
“It’s like the Raminov family. Since the empire has taken its steps, we must at least get the cooperation of Raminov Kingdom. Anakin somehow managed to stop it… but if Moloch had participated, the outcome would have been different.”
Elio sneaked in.
“Who is Moloch?”
“Moloch is the master of the Anakins. If he, who is also the lord of Mokubas, learns of the defeat of his servants… he might not just let it go.”
“Is Moloch also a demon?”
This time, the chief of staff answered on behalf of the Marquis.
“He is one of the seventy-two lords who rule over Tamion as the highest-ranking demon.”
“Seventy-two lords? Is Tameion that wide?”
“I can’t imagine. Compared to Tamion, the Rodina continent is just the tip of the iceberg.”
The captain of the knights helped with a word.
“That’s why the continent of Rodina is also called God’s grace. Because there is no place in this world suitable for human life like Rodina or the Continent.”
“You mean that most of this world is as dangerous as Tameyon?”
“It is a known place.”
“Are there many unknown places?”
“There are many places untouched by humans. What we know about this world is only a fraction of it. Right now, there are many unexplored lands in this Rodina continent. That’s why adventurers are welcome anywhere.”
As Elio shook his head, Marquis Bernardo repeatedly spoke to the chief of staff.
“If Moloch finds out, it might really start a war with the demons. Wouldn’t it speed up if we inform the Raminov Kingdom of such a fact?”
“All right. I will tell you about the kingdom of Raminov.”
“You’d better hurry.”
“Don’t worry too much, the Royal Airship is in Hirhera.”
When the airship came out, the Marquis didn’t brush it off any more.
In fact, he had used all the means he could possibly have, even to the airship.

After the conversation with Baron Helio Lagoa, Viscount Meto Robert, the chief of staff, went straight to the Duke of Escatos.
“Duke. I came to meet Baron Elio Lagoa.”
“So what?”
“They said it seemed like it happened because the warlocks attacked Anakin first.”
“Are you sure you’re not sure?”
“Because communication with Anakin was not smooth. Considering the performance of his lesser artifacts, that level of income is miraculous.”
“The question is, is that reliable information? Talking to demons with a low-level artifact… Wizards will say it’s a funny joke.”
“I don’t think it was even a conversation. Baron Lagoa said he barely understood a few words.”
“You figured out a lot in a few words.”
“I was lucky. If you combine the words ‘wizard’ and ‘revenge’… there seems to be no problem with Baron Lagoa’s reasoning.”
“Honestly, I hope I am wrong. If that is true, bigger things will happen in the future.”
“You mean Moloch?”
“Even if your dog comes home after being beaten, the owner is always in a bad mood. Even more so, what would happen if we found out that the species that behaved like limbs and limbs came after being hit?”
“I’m going to take revenge.”
“Since Hirhera has a hole in it, it is impossible to physically prevent Moloch’s invasion. Today’s work may be just a taster. A war between demons and humans may begin in Hiruhera.”
“Do you really see that happening?”
“Look at the cracks in Hirhera. Something unprecedented in thousands of years of history has already happened. Today, Anakins attacked with monsters and monsters. Wouldn’t it be strange if Moloch came tomorrow with an army?”
“I do, but… it was too sudden.”
Viscount Meto Robert didn’t realize all of this.
If the humans on the continent knew what was happening in Hiruhera, there would be an uproar.
‘A war with demons…’
I was stunned.
“Did you say anything else?”
“The Marquis wanted quick support from Raminov Kingdom in preparation for the war against the demons.”
“There is still no news from Raminov’s inspection team?”
“yes.”
“Tsk! Lazy or shameless…”
“It’s probably both.”
“Send the leader of the Optimus Knights. If you still stumble, tell them to decapitate the person in charge of Raminov.”
At the words of the radical Duke Escatos, Viscount Meto Robert smiled bitterly.
“Rather than that, give the airship to the knight commander. It will save time, but it will also convey the urgency of Hirhera.”
“Airships don’t even exist in Raminov. If anything, it might come out more crooked after seeing the airship.”
“The Marquis said that the airship would have to be sent to convey the true intentions of this side.”
“You mean you said that even though you knew how much His Majesty cared for airships?”
“Would you mind seizing the airship in Raminof?”
“I don’t know. Sir, you know that Raminov III is an impulsive man.”
“If we seize the airship, Our Highness will be willing to go to war. It’s true that Raminov III is impulsive, but isn’t he crazy?”
“ha.”
Duke Escatos let out a shotgun ceremony.
Regarding the operation of the airship, the fact that it has already reached this level meant that the claim that ‘true intentions are conveyed only when the airship is sent’ is correct.
“I will give the airship to the knight commander. Don’t say anything about airships to the knight commander. If you try to protect it for no reason, things may get more complicated.”
“yes.”
Viscount Meto Robert let out a sigh of relief.
I had only just crossed the threshold, but I was exhausted as if I had already reached my destination.
***
After the invasion of the demons, the encampment of the Kingdom of Baylem has almost changed into a house of mourning.
This is because the Crete Company deployed at the forefront of the rift was annihilated.
It happened on the day of the deployment of the Baylem Kingdom Army, so there was an internal uproar.
Apart from the evaluation that ‘no one could stop it’, the great nobles considered it a disgrace that ‘the Baylem Kingdom Army was pierced’.
The commanders of the Kingdom of Baylem hastily gathered the most elite troops and created the Anima Company, but the morale of the nobles and soldiers was at a low point.
The atmosphere in the Escatos Kingdom was also not good.
Although the damage was less than that of the Baylem Kingdom, it was still caused by hundreds of casualties.
The invasion of the demons left great scars on the kingdoms of Escatos and Baylem, but one hero was born.
He is Baron Elio Lagoa, the lord of Slash Land.
Early on, he was nicknamed the ‘Knight of the Rift’, but after the invasion of the demons, he was called the ‘Guardian of Hirhera’.
Since Hirhera is a small area, people who don’t know will laugh when they hear it, but in the Hirhera garrison, ‘Hirhera’s Guardian’ was a nickname for someone superior to a sword master.
The day after the demon invasion.
Hirhera Baylem Kingdom Army Garrison.
Knights of Seletus.
Duke Herbert Liberato, Marshal of the Kingdom of Baylem, visited the Seletus Knights with the High Warlord, Marquis Letona Ground, and court wizard Drake Rosenbaum.
The magic musketeers, also known as the Musket Knights, were shocked by the visits of the top commanders.
Although there are magic musketeers in every kingdom, they are not treated well enough to meet with the highest command separately in the field.
It was because he thought of the magic musketeers as ‘a group of mana users who were afraid of close combat’.
In fact, that statement was somewhat correct.
It is for this reason that the percentage of females is higher than males in any kingdom’s magic musketeers.
It was surprising that the top commanders visited such a Seletus Knights.
Count Zorba Amicus, the commander of the Knights of Seletus, and Baron Julie Greenwood, the vice commander, who were resting at the inn, hurriedly rushed out to greet the commanders.
The barracks of the Seletus Knights.
The High Warlord, Marquis Letona Ground, waved a finger at Count Zorba Amicus.
Count Zorba Amicus walked quickly in front of him.
“Call Sir Anna Logan.”
“Sir Anna Logan?”
“So, do I have to say the same name twice to understand? The enemy wants to meet Sir Anna Logan.”
“yes!”
Count Zorba Amicus ran without telling anyone else.
Looking at Marquis Letona Ground’s rather rough words and actions, it is possible to know the position of the leader of the Seletus Knights in the Kingdom of Baylem.
Vice-captain, Baron Julie Greenwood, stood in the corner, not breathing deeply.
After a while, the knight commander returned with Anna Logan.
The Knight Commander, Count Zorba Amicus, and Vice Commander, Baron Julie Greenwood, stood side by side like servants, keeping an eye on their enemy, Duke Herbert Liberato.
