Episode 1065. The feeling came just then.
The demons, who had been pouring in like a tide, began to flow out like an ebb.
For a moment, the eyes of the Kingdom of Escatos all turned to their enemy, the Duke of Escatos.
They could have been burning with vengeance for losing their comrades, but the soldiers looked rather relieved.
This is why demons are feared by humans – no matter how low-level demons the opponent is.
The soldiers looked happy that it had ended like this.
Duke Escatos also had no vengeance against Anakin.
There was no point in killing dozens of Anakins here.
Considering the sacrifices of the soldiers in the process, it was better to let them go.
But not everyone was like that.
Baron Elio, the number one contributor to defending the garrison, suddenly pursued the demons by himself.
“Squadron commander!”
Elio, who had been running to Fabian’s cry, glanced back.
“Don’t follow me anymore, go back! I will find out who is behind the demons and come back!”
“How will you find out?”
Fabian asked with an absurd face, but Elio’s new model had already disappeared from sight.
Instead of the company commander, Fabian led Rufus Company and joined the Kingdom Army.
The Duke of Escatos, the marshal of the kingdom, personally approached Rufus Company.
Fiercely nervous, Fabian bowed to the Duke on behalf of the company members.
“His Highness the Duke!”
“Call your Highness an enemy.”
“Yes, Marshal. My name is Fabian, staff member of Rufus Company.”
“oh! Fabian, the knight of the rift, was amazing. Nice to meet you. But where did the company commander go?”
“I chased after the demons to find out who was behind them.”
“Behind the demons?”
Duke Escatos looked at Fabian with a puzzled face.
But Fabian didn’t know anything about him, so he couldn’t say anything.
“You don’t seem to know more than longitude.”
“yes.”
“Good work. The counterattack was successful thanks to the performance of Rufus Company. I will not forget your contributions.”
“no! I just did what I was supposed to do as a knight of the kingdom!”
Duke Escatos, who laughed at the formal answer, soon turned around.
As the duke’s party drifted away, Fabian asked the rider, Ray Morgan, sneakily.
“Didn’t I make a mistake?”
“doesn’t exist. It looks like you laughed at the obvious answer, so don’t worry too much.”
“Are you that obvious?”
Instead of answering, Ray Morgan imitated Fabian.
“no. I just did what I was supposed to do as a knight of the kingdom.”
“It’s… it’s a lot.”
Fabian’s shoulders drooped.
He felt sorry for himself for blowing away a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity like that.
***
The reason Elio followed Anakin was to get information about the Heavenly Horse and the Golden Temple.
In his view, the invasion of the demons was not an accident but a planned action.
‘Coincidence is limited to the Witchbeast.’
In a situation where the appearance of monsters is also suspicious, 500 demons entered through the cracks?
This is just plain cheating.
Elio predicted that there would be a thousand sons or a golden thread behind the demons.
So, as soon as the Anakins crossed over to Tamion, they fell in front of them.
Chief Promput, who had been breathing a sigh of relief upon entering Tamion, stiffened for an instant.
Elio said believing in his interpretation artifact.
“hey! Demons, wait a minute. Do I have something to ask you? You know what I’m talking about?”
Artifact is not omnipotent.
But it’s a little more helpful than nothing at all.
Prompt opened his mouth slowly.
“What are humans?”
Elio tilted his head.
The demon spoke quite long, but the Artifact condensed it into just two words.
However, when the conversation was over, Elio used the air-walking step to meet the leader Anakin at eye level.
As the human rose into the air, Prompt looked at the other person with tense eyes.
‘It was a magic swordsman!’
If it was enough to break Anakin’s Death Word, the level would be considerable.
“Why did you come over the rift? Why did you attack the human land?”
“Revenge…”
“What are you talking about? You guys invaded, so even if you take revenge, humans will have to do it.”
“Revenge…”
“Damn it.”
Elio frowned.
The words of Anakin’s boss were quite long, but the only translation was ‘revenge’.
‘Should I kill them all?’
Considering that they would come again for revenge, it was better to deal with it here.
Surprised when the human eyes suddenly became alive, Prompt even mobilized gestures and said,
“Humans… Wizards… Revenge.”
Elio asked as if to confirm Anakin’s words.
“Have you met the Warlock?”
At that moment, Prompt nodded vigorously.
As the old Anakin panicked, Elio crossed his arms and thought.
Anakin isn’t stupid, and there’s no way he’s talking about revenge in front of him.
If so, the target of revenge might not be the kingdom army of the garrison.
It reminded me of the warlocks I encountered in Tamion a few months ago.
Since they sacrificed even humans, they probably weren’t friendly to Anakin.
“Did the warlocks attack you?”
“Human mage… Revenge.”
Elio now seemed to know what old Anakin was talking about.
They came out of the rift for revenge.
The fact that the ones behind it were not the Demon of Heaven and the Temple of Gold, but the Dark Wizard, so the steam was a little lost.
“go back. If you come out of the rift again, you die. okay?”
At the somewhat peaceful human tone, Prompt nodded.
I don’t know what you mean, but it seemed to mean ‘you can go’.
When old Anakin noticed, Elio twisted in the air and returned to the rift.
When he completely disappeared, the Anakins walked back towards Mokuvas.
***
Hirhera Escatos Kingdom Army Garrison.
Marquis Bernardo’s camp.
After escaping from Tamion, Elio returned to Rufus Company.
Unlike other campsites that turned into a mess, Marquis Bernardo’s camp suffered less damage.
The barracks of Rufus Company were one of those places.
Fabian approached as Elio wiped his chest after seeing the company commander’s private barracks in good condition.
“Squadron commander!”
“why?”
“Marshal Escatos came to visit the company commander.”
“You didn’t call me, did you?”
“Yeah, but shouldn’t we go?”
“It’s not polite to go to a high-ranking person when he doesn’t ask you to come.”
Of course, there are reasons why it’s annoying, but I didn’t bother to say that.
“All right. By the way, what happened to you?”
“Day?”
“Didn’t you say you were trying to find out who is behind the demons?”
“Oh that? The black magicians seemed to have done something to the demons.”
“Was it the warlock’s work again?”
“If Anakin’s old demon didn’t lie, that’s right.”
For a moment, Fabian looked at Elio’s ring with startled eyes.
“Can you interpret the languages of different races?”
“Not all, but rare.”
“Wow! I can see why artifacts are expensive. Where did you get such a treasure, company commander?”
“I got a present.”
“I wish I had someone around me who could give me something like that.”
“Don’t you think, ‘I have to become a person who can share something precious like this’?”
“Does the company commander think I can succeed to that extent?”
“no.”
“So I want to have people like that around me. It sucks.”
Fabian looked at Elio’s artifact with envious eyes.
Then Elio said something.
“Arthur. Even if you have something like this with your current skills, it will be taken away right away. You know the saying that having treasure is a sin? Will you die without knowing when? If you want to live long, you must stay away from treasure.”
“I heard and saw it.”
Fabian wasn’t a fool either, so he didn’t object.
There was no need to talk about an artifact of that level when he died even for a single silver coin.
After a while, Elio entered the barracks, took off his chain mail, and sat down on a chair.
More than tiredness, emptiness came over me.
It was great that the expectation of finding the traces of the Heavenly Horse and the Golden Temple collapsed.
In the sky of kings, even if you stay still, the enemy will find you on its own, but now everything is the opposite.
He doesn’t know where the Demon of Heaven and the Temple of Gold are, and he can’t reveal himself.
“ha!”
I thought it would be solved quickly by following the chaos, but somehow it is still the same as the day I first arrived or now that I have adapted enough to receive the title of baron.
“With this in mind, when will we be able to return home?”
As Elio groaned, a heavy voice came from outside the barracks.
“Are you inside Baron Lagoa?”
Elio turned his head toward the entrance to the barracks.
It sounded familiar somewhere, but I couldn’t recall who’s face.
“yes!”
Along with the horse, Elio rose from his seat.
Judging from the use of Hao, it seems that someone with a high rank has come.
just as expected?
The person who opened the veil and entered was Earl Ellen Phares, the leader of the Order of the Phoenix.
Then, Marquis Bernardo appeared.
“Marquis?”
Surprised, Elio politely refused.
Then Marquis Bernardo smiled and said,
“haha. I’m taking a break, so I don’t know if I disturbed you for nothing.”
“it’s okay. But what are you doing?”
Elio looked at Marquis Bernardo with a puzzled face.
It was a natural question for him, as he was not close enough to have a private meeting with the Marquis.
“Does it have to be something for us to meet?”
“That’s not it.”
“haha. Just kidding. I heard that they are investigating the culprit behind the invasion of the demons. Have you had some harvest?”
“ah!”
Only then did Elio know the purpose of Marquis Bernardo’s visit.
He wants to know who is really behind the invasion of demons.
‘I was nervous for no reason.’
I don’t know why they come and surprise me when I can have someone call me as before.
But that happened because Elio was unaware of his rapidly changing status.
Elio, who had been an untouchable in the camp of Marquis Bernardo until recently, became an untouchable in the Hirhera garrison due to the ‘duel with Count Codrantes’ and the subsequent ‘war with the demons’.
That’s why Marquis Bernardo came with the leader of the Phoenix Knights.
“I’ve been talking to old Anakin, and he says revenge while talking about wizards?”
“You mean you talked to demons?”
Marquis Bernardo looked at Baron Helio Lagoa with bewildered eyes.
Interpretation artifacts do not interpret everything.
It is said that the artifacts he possesses are not attractive, but are versatile, but that is only limited to human language.
‘A high-level artifact that can communicate with demons doesn’t even look like that…’
Elio quickly added an explanation when Marquis Bernardo was not trusting him.
“It was not a conversation. Somehow, he translated a few words. human mage avenges That’s when the feeling came. The black magician has plotted against the demons!”
Only then did the suspicion disappear from Marquis Bernardo’s eyes.
Considering the artifact’s versatility, it was within the range of possibilities.
“Sir Elio, do you think the warlocks did the last time?”
“There is no evidence, but it feels like it. Other than them, there is no other human who can enter and leave Tamion. Could it be that he secretly spyed on Tameyon in the palace?”
“I haven’t heard anything like that. Besides, there are no knights or wizards in our kingdom who secretly enter Tameion. If there were such talented people, I would have dispatched them to the Hirhera garrison here.”
“I guess so.”
Elio shook his head.
Hagiya is also in a hurry to protect the cracks in the ice wall, so it is impossible for Tamion to spy on them.
“If that’s really what the warlocks do, why do you think they do it?”
Marquis Bernardo stared at Baron Helio Lagoa with deep eyes.
