Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1055

Episode 1055. A greedy friend.

Elio looked at Baron Glenn Taylor with meaningful eyes.

“Are you curious about my thoughts? Or are you expecting me to do something for you?”

Then a strange smile appeared on Baron Glen Taylor’s face.

“The Marquis is not afraid of Count Codrantes. If that were the case, the Counts of Codrantes and the Counts of Putocoa would not have held hands.”

“ah!”

Only then did Elio realize that he had misunderstood the Marquis’ intentions.

“If so, let me tell you. I am not interested in wills. I don’t even think Baron John Mitch wrote it because he wanted it. I will break it until Count Putocoa personally apologizes.”

“All right. I will convey to the Marquis the will of the Baron without hesitation.”

After speaking, Baron Glenn Taylor rose from his seat.

Elio asked him as he tried to turn around after showing silence.

“By the way, why doesn’t the Marquis have difficulty with the sword master, Count Codrantes? I know it’s a rude question, but I’m curious.”

“Duke Escatos is the first sword master in the kingdom. Count Codrantes is the third. The second is Chris Dunamis, who is called the king of mercenaries, and he is an acquaintance of the Marquis.”

“Do you think they are very close?”

“The Marquis once helped Chris Dunamis when he was in trouble. After that, it became a heart-to-heart.”

“So…”

“I’ve never compared the superiority and inferiority among sword masters, but wouldn’t the one who reached that level first have a little more advantage? Even more so, if he were an active mercenary, he would have had more opportunities to fight.”

“There will be a mercenary group, so it must be a tough opponent for Count Codrantes.”

“Actually, there is no need for a mercenary corps. There are far more knights from the marquess than counts.”

“Are you saying that the Marquis is much better in terms of quality and quantity?”

“That’s right. That kind of person is supporting the baron, so you don’t have to worry about the future.”

“It’s good.”

That was Elio’s sincerity.

If the Marquis applied the brakes in every case, that was also a concern.

“The Marquis has never betrayed his trust. I hope you don’t have a prejudice that all nobles are like that after seeing Count Putokoa. Enough then.”

“Ah yes.”

At Baron Glen Taylor’s serious attitude, Elio bowed his head involuntarily.

Left alone, Elio opened the book again and read it slowly.

Had it been about an hour?

Fabian, who was supposed to be honing his swordsmanship in the clearing, came to see him.

“why?”

“The Chief of Staff has summoned the company commanders. You should go to the staff barracks now.”

“You don’t know what’s going on?”

“It seems to be because of the division of duties with the Baylem Kingdom Army. Isn’t it the turn of the Baylem Kingdom Army from two days later?”

“Ah, the time has come to speak. i get it.”

“By the way, company commander.”

“why?”

“Are you interested in mana?”

“Why is there?”

“You know that mana and aura cannot coexist in one body, right?”

“uh. You used it to fool the three barons of Putokoa.”

“You know that. Just in case.”

“Do you think I will train mana?”

“yes.”

“You don’t become a mana user just by training anyway. I need to receive the blessing of mana, but will something like that come to me?”

“I guess so.”

On that point, Fabian meekly agreed.

Considering the company commander Elio’s attitude towards mana phras, the blessing of mana was absurd.

“By the way, you received the blessing of mana, right? How was it?”

“What do you mean?”

“The situation or feeling when receiving it.”

“In my case, I suddenly felt mana when I woke up.”

“You mean you don’t know?”

“yes.”

“Go see.”

Elio waved his hand.

Just in case, he’s a guy who doesn’t help in life.

After a while.

Marquis Bernardo’s staff barracks.

Captain Oscar Avid, staff member of Marquis Bernardo’s army, looked around at the commanders of Alpha Bellatos Charlie Rufus and said.

“As you know, from two days later, the Baylem Kingdom Army will be put into rift monitoring. However, there is one thing I am concerned about. Since the Kingdom of Baylem is located in the south, there are no frequent encounters with monsters or monsters from the north. When we open our eyes, what we see is the monster of the great snowfield. But they are different. Considerable damage is expected in the beginning as there is little experience. They assure you it’s fine, but you might get caught up in the garrison. For that reason, during the first mission of the Kingdom of Baylem, our Marquis Bernardo’s army will remain on standby. Any questions?”

“doesn’t exist.”

Alpha Bellatos Company Commander Charlie Rufus answered with unanimity.

All of them are unsatisfied faces.

It was because it was better not to let go of the string of tension for nine days than leave it to the beginners and spread out in the rear and get angry.

“During that period, take good care of your troops. More than that. dissolution.”

At the command of Captain Oscar Avid, the company commanders left the barracks one by one.

Elio, who was returning to Rufus Company, approached Baron Dennis Robin, the commander of Alpha Company.

“Commander Robin.”

“yes?”

“What is emergency standby? It’s the first time I’ve heard it.”

“Oh no big deal. All you have to do is wear armor and weapons at all times. In the garrison, don’t everyone leave their clothes off in their lodgings? I mean don’t do that.”

“aha! Maybe when I go to the bathroom?”

“you’re right. You must carry it with you at all times. Just instruct the ensigns and they’ll take care of themselves. Because they are essential things taught at the Knight Academy.”

“Isn’t the Baylem Kingdom army that cool?”

“Person-to-person battles are similar in any kingdom. However, fighting against monsters or monsters has a bit of a difference. Experience is more important than anything else, and it is not uncommon for ferocious monsters from the Great Snowfield to descend to the Kingdom of Baylem. As such, it will be quite a struggle in the beginning.”

“To the extent of being involved in the garrison?”

“Isn’t it less than a kilometer from the rift watch unit to the garrison? Once penetrated, you will be caught up in the garrison without a chance to prepare.”

“I guess so. Is it wrong to sleep comfortably?”

“But don’t worry too much about the emergency bell.”

“Are you just hitting them five times?”

“haha. you’re right. If you hear that sound, you can think that the rift monitoring unit has been breached.”

“thank you.”

Elio greeted Baron Dennis Robin and turned around.

Next day.

Count Codrantes arrived at Hirhera around 10:00 a.m., a little earlier than planned.

The Command of the Codrantes Kingdom, as well as the Command of the Kingdom of Baylum, gathered to welcome the Sword Master, Count Codrantes.

Count Codrantes waved to the gathered high-ranking nobles from both countries and then disappeared into the barracks of Duke Escatos.

The high-ranking nobles of Codrantes Kingdom and Baylum Kingdom waited without scattering, but the Count of Codrantes did not return.

The barracks of the Duke of Escatos.

Duke Escatos looked closely at Count Codrantes and said.

“Come on. I tried to visit him after hearing about his injury, but he didn’t because there were too many eyes on him. How are you feeling?”

“it’s okay. It was not a life-threatening injury. I didn’t know how to explain the annihilation of the garrison, so I went into seclusion. But how did you clean it up so people still don’t know about it?”

“I haven’t done anything special other than controlling access to Hirhera.”

“I received a call that there were black magicians behind it. A black magician who can use Meteor Swarm… I can’t imagine. Did you find out more?”

“The Empire’s Magus, Duke of Killian Hale, said. At the earliest, within a month, at the latest, within three months, the warlock would be active again. Maybe the Meteor Swarm will fall again on Hirhera.”

“It is terrible. But why are there still kingdom troops in Hirhera?”

“Of course, it’s not to stop the monsters and monsters pouring out of the cracks. If we don’t protect Hirhera because we’re afraid of the Meteor Swarm… the northern territories will be drenched in blood.”

“It is, but it is too risky. Frankly, I’m here to discuss withdrawal from Hirhera.”

“We must go, where shall we go? If the meteor swarm lands there again… what does that mean?”

“…”

That was true, so Count Codrantes did not refute.

Count Codrantes, who was silent, asked.

“I heard the crack doubled in size?”

“exactly. Even with the 7th circle magic, it is impossible to repair it. Duke Cillian Hale said to build a wall because it can’t be done with magic… I don’t know if the northern kingdoms can handle it.”

“What about the empire? How long are you going to keep your back?”

“Since the situation in the south is not good, it seems that you don’t have the energy to care about the affairs of the north. He would have withdrawn even the Corvo Magic Corps, knowing that he would be insulted.”

“Has war ever broken out in the South?”

“Seeing that even the Corvo Magic Corps will be deployed in the south, I wouldn’t be surprised if I hear the news of a war tomorrow.”

“Wasn’t the South quiet? No king is mad enough to go to war with the Empire. Given the lazy nature of Southerners, I don’t understand.”

“There are rumors that a burial ground for an iron golem has been found in the Abyss. In order to monopolize it, Adria Masdar Bostania is trying to control access to the Great Forest.”

“A steel golem?”

“Well, I don’t know if it’s true yet, but that’s what’s known so far.”

“Huh!”

An exclamation flowed from the mouth of Count Codrantes.

An iron golem? If that were true, the war would have been enough for me.

“Apart from the Southern affairs, let us focus on Hirhera. I heard you have a meeting with Count Putocoa in the afternoon. Do you know about the situation Count Putocoa is in?”

“I hear you’re quite attracted to a baron from the Putokoa estate?”

“More than that. Marquis Bernardo is coordinating behind the scenes, but it seems that it will end only when Putocoa gives you the Alba Nubes Mountains as compensation.”

“You mean you want the estate of Putokoa? You are an overly greedy friend.”

“Considering what Count Putocoa did to his tribe, it’s not something you don’t understand.”

“The ‘mountain tribe’ is the only savage who died unjustly? Whenever that happens, if you compensate for the territory, there will be no territory left.”

Duke Escatos didn’t say anything.

In fact, that was also the way ordinary lords saw barbarians.

“I have no intention of taking part in the matter of Count Putocoa. The same goes for whatever decision the Lord makes. But Marquis Bernardo will support Baron Elio until the end. I hope you keep that in mind.”

“Because the Marquis is famous for keeping his faith. Even if you see the Marquis, you shouldn’t be too rough. First of all, I will decide what to do after meeting Count Putokoa.”

“I know the longitude, but considering what’s going on in Hirhera… the dispute between Count Putocoa and Baron Helio is nothing. I hope you make a wise choice.”

“Of course. I will not become a detriment to the prosperity of the kingdom.”

Count Codrantes nodded to Duke Escatos and left.

Duke Escatos, who was left alone and thinking about something, murmured.

“You don’t even ask about Baron Elio. Does that mean it’s a sword expert? You know what to do.”

Contrary to his words, Duke Escatos’ expression was not good.

When I thought of what Count Codrantes said about the barbarian tribe, my heart felt stuffy.

“Now is not the time to argue about Putokoa…”

I don’t know why they fight over trivial matters in the face of the enormous problem of the cracks in the ice wall.

Suddenly, the faces of Count Putocoa and Baron Helio came to mind.

If Putokoa is cunning, Elio…

I don’t know.

Suddenly, Duke Escatos realized that he knew nothing about Elio.

“This is how I am no different from Count Codrantes.”
