Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1359. Is it only that much between us?

Cervo Stagecoach Office.

Fabian went to the stagecoach office asking questions.

The stagecoach office building was also half destroyed, like the other buildings around it.

Still, there were many people who came and went to work.

Fabian was about to speed up his pace when someone called from behind.

“Baron Fabian?”

At Baron Sofia Orlova’s voice, Fabian smiled and turned around.

“Baron Sophia?”

“As expected, you were Baron Fabian. The back looks similar, so I called just in case.”

“Ah yes.”

Fabian scratched his head with a frown on his face.

It was a strange feeling to meet again with the person I had a relationship with.

“Are you going to the stagecoach office?”

“Yes, I want to go back to Minos.”

“Is Minos in the eastern part of Pheromuros?”

“you’re right. I want to go back to the chalet (southern cabin) where I stayed before coming here.”

“Isn’t T-pop (southern lodging) better than a chalet to stay?”

There was a big difference between a chalet and a lodge on the outskirts of a village, and T-Pop as an accommodation in the city.

“I do.”

Fabian nodded as if agreeing.

I happened to stay there, but it was true that the city was comfortable.

“Is it because there is a lady from an aristocratic family in Minos, so I’m going back?”

“Not like that.”

“Whoops! Even so, it’s okay. I’m not Baron Fabian’s wife either.”

Due to her continued misunderstanding, Fabian confessed his promise to Count Omar of Larva.

“…We agreed to meet again in Minos when they return.”

“ah! You did. For that reason, you don’t have to go to Minos. I could contact Krasion and tell them to ‘come to Cervo’. If you are coming from Cracion, the distance is similar. If you’re going to wait anyway, wouldn’t a city be better than a village in the forest?”

“I do.”

Fabian nodded his head politely.

There was no reason to go to Minos as long as he could inform Count Larva Omar and his party.

“Then stay in Cervo. I will contact Count Omar in Krasion.”

“really? It works, but… Huh? Come to think of it, the Skull Corps is on the move… Can I go around like this alone?”

“I was reassigned to the support unit. I think I will be staying in Servo for a while. I was excluded from the combat unit because I was not a sword beginner.”

“It ended up like that.”

Fabian looked at Baron Sofia Orlova with a bitter face.

The corps commander’s staff and support units are the difference between heaven and earth.

Although the body of the support unit may be comfortable, it was a great loss considering the compensation they would receive after the war.

“I think I did better. Thanks to that, I can see Baron Fabian often. Of course, that is only until the reinforcements move.”

“okay.”

Fabian was excited for no reason at the word that they could see each other more often.

In the morning, we had sex casually, but seeing it again now, it felt different.

As per Fabian’s throat, dry saliva gulped.

Baron Sofia Orlova looked at Fabian with pitiful eyes and said,

“Then will you leave the matter to me? I’ll take care of it before the unit moves. I hope that Baron Fabian is in Servo as much as possible. When will we again… oh my!”

Fabian suddenly grabbed Baron Sofia Orlova’s hand and looked around fiercely.

Looking for a place to rest for a while.

Just in time, when he saw the T-pop sign, he strode forward.

***

Around lunchtime.

A T-pop with one wall coming off.

Elio asked, looking at Fabian with a crooked face.

“so? Is it okay not to go to Minos?”

“We don’t even have any connection to Minos, do we? It’s smaller than the outskirts, but the city is better. Didn’t you just eat bread noodles with a strange stew every day at the chalet?”

“But you said it was quiet and good for training.”

“There are many quiet places here too.”

“Where is the quiet place?”

“Go out a little and you will find it.”

“Look at how things change. You said you were going to the stagecoach office, so you went to see Baron Orlova?”

“I didn’t go there to meet you. We met by chance in front of the stagecoach office.”

“Did I tell you? Once becomes twice and twice becomes three times.”

“It just happened so naturally. Anyway, the important thing is that Servo is better than Minos.”

“From what I see, you seem possessed by a fox.”

“Am I? Not at all. I’m not stupid enough to be possessed by anyone. I don’t know if I’m possessed.”

“Is it the aftereffects of mental magic?”

“Because it’s not like that.”

“I’m lost in a woman and I can’t get my head around it.”

“I am not that kind of person. don’t you know? I am not an easy man.”

“You’re not an easy man, so why are you struggling so much?”

“Are you floundering? I met an acquaintance by chance and made a rational decision. Tea Pop is 100 times better than Chalet. Isn’t it?”

“T-pop is better.”

“That’s why I decided to stay here.”

“Don’t even say that we’ll follow Baron Orlova later.”

“What do you see me as? I am not stupid.”

“It’s done. While you’re here, get to know the situation in Peromuros. If the new material is real… you have to catch and punish the person who distributed it.”

“From my point of view, the Mage Tower is more suspicious.”

“A mage tower?”

“Think about it. Aren’t Axitium and Arthenium all from the Mage Tower? Moreover, the Mage Tower is in the Empire, so why do you sell Artenium to the Southern Kingdom?”

“The Mage Tower does not belong to the Empire. So wherever they sell, it’s up to them.”

“So this is strange. Isn’t it like supplying weapons to both sides to fight?”

“Isn’t it?”

When Elio responded, Fabian got excited and started talking more.

“It’s a mage tower. There is a ‘vanguard of chaos’ in the mage tower. Undoubtedly.”

“Don’t get excited because the Mage Tower was also the subject of investigation anyway.”

“By the way, if you deal with the ‘vanguard of chaos’… will you return to your hometown?”

“It should be. Do I stay here because I have something to eat?”

“Can you stay a little longer until I settle down?”

“You are still far ahead of your peers. What more seats do you have there? Slash Land will also be inherited by you.”

“I’m afraid the imperial prince will bite and hang on to it.”

“After going through this war, even the crown prince won’t be able to touch the north?”

“Because I still don’t know what people do.”

“Let’s sell our worries. Until I die, even the prince cannot touch you. You can rest in peace until my death is confirmed.”

Contrary to Pabaan’s wishes, Elio did not have the heart to stay even for a moment.

“Couldn’t it be at least until I become a Sword Expert?”

“no.”

“Count! Is it only that much between us?”

“If I had to choose between you and my family, I would definitely be my family.”

“When did I ask you to choose between me and my family? Could you spend a little time for me?”

“No. It sounds the same to me.”

“Sheesh! All right. I will go out and see if there is any news.”

Elio then stared at Fabian and said,

“You mean you’re going to see Baron Orlova again?”

“You asked me to find out about the situation in Pheromuros? Shall we not investigate?”

“They say that if the priest knows the taste of meat, there will be no bed bugs left in the temple… that’s exactly what it is.”

“What else do you mean by that?”

“There are words like that. go see Watch your back.”

“Ah, it’s not like that, but you keep saying that.”

After turning around and taking a few steps, Fabian tapped his waist with his fist.

***

Adriatic kingdom.

Northern Pheromuros.

early morning.

Led by the Steel Corps, the 31st Division on the left, the 33rd Division in the center, and the Artillery Brigade and the 37th Division lined up at the rear of the 36th Division on the right of the 1st Army Group.

In other words, the main force of the expeditionary force, excluding the Imperial Army units that were building front lines in the east, west, and south of Feromuros, had gathered in one place.

Louis Fraser III, commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force, who was observing the formation, asked.

“What is the enemy’s expected attack time?”

“Twenty minutes have already passed.”

“But why hasn’t there been any movement yet? Didn’t I say that the enemy’s vanguard is the Victory Corps? Cheeky bastards. Has the Legion flag been confirmed?”

“Yeah! This is a call from an observer. It is said that the victorious legion has entered the plains. The flag will be visible soon.”

“If they come within range of the magic cannon, tell them to shoot them unconditionally. We must not allow them to enter Feromuros.”

If that happens, the efforts to besiege and pressurize the city so far will be in vain, so it has to be stopped.

After a while, the sound of magic cannons came from the rear.

Soon after, the southern kingdom camp also fired magic cannons as if responding.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Kwak-!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Kwak-!

Magical cannons began to rain down on the Southern Kingdom and Imperial forces.

From then on, command posts on both sides were busy.

After the introduction of magic cannons and magic guns, battles were conducted under certain rules.

First, both sides set up their camps.

After that, gradually close the distance with the opponent.

Then, when it reaches the range of the magic cannon, it pours the magic cannon all at once.

But the magic cannon didn’t last long.

The magic cannon’s accuracy dropped, so it stopped when the distance between the two sides was about 100 meters.

From then on, cavalry or musketeers were sent into battle.

After the cavalry and the musketeers, the hand-to-hand combat between the knights and swordsmen followed.

“charge!”

“run!”

“Run if you want to live!”

The victorious corps dictators, the spearhead of the Southern Kingdom Army, screamed.

No one disputed that statement.

This is because the magic cannon stops when you get close to the Imperial Army.

The knights and soldiers who happened to be in the lead ran madly looking forward.

Finally, when the distance to the enemy was about 100 meters, the charge stopped for a while.

He was short of breath, but it was because he had escaped the fear of the magic cannon.

The cavalry corps rushed from the left while the Sword Guards breathed a sigh of relief.

The principle was that if the battle line was disrupted by the cavalry, the Sword Guards would charge again.

However, the swordfighting unit of the victorious corps did not prepare to charge.

They covered themselves with shields and glanced behind the extension.

On the other hand, the imperial army camp was calm compared to the southern kingdom army that was charging.

The 33rd Division’s musketeers opened fire on the cavalry of the Southern Kingdom.

Puff puff puff—!

The cavalry squad collapsed helplessly.

More than a dozen cavalrymen came up to the front of the musketeers and were briefly knocked down by crossbowmen’s supporting fire.

Seeing that, Count Ilmar Lag, the new commander of the Steel Legion, shouted ‘tsk tsk!’ and clicked his tongue.

“It’s been a while since the magic gun was supplied, and the cavalry is still charging… It’s pitiful.”

Then Viscount Kurt Wartner, chief of staff, spoke as if explaining.

“Isn’t it because the southern kingdom doesn’t have enough magic guns yet?”

“Nevertheless it is. What are they going to do if they come up with the way they used to fight each other in the war with the Empire? Anyway, the iron golem will be deployed soon. Our Battalion unit must be ready, right?”

“I checked my armament at dawn. There is nothing wrong.” “Are you being stupid or ignorant to not be able to come to your

senses after being hit by excitium

?”

In front of the giant steel golem, he couldn’t help but shrink for a moment.

Just in time, the Battalion troops started firing.

Pupperpuppung-!

Vivid red beams of light flew towards the steel golems.

Turter-tongue-!

The red light broke with a strange echo.

Anyone can see that the body of the steel golem was hit and the excitium bounced off.

just as expected!

Through the red light, the iron golems approached right in front of the Iron Legion.

Before long, red light flashed from the steel golem’s eyes.

Gee-ing!

The light called ‘the light of death’ stirred the batalion troops.

Soon after, the Imperial Army’s strongest steel corps collapsed like a sand castle.
