Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1015

Episode 1015. Rift recon seems to be suitable, how about it?

The knights who returned to the barracks of Alpha Company began wearing chain mail one by one.

Because they were knights who had awakened mana, they wore chain mail made of steel chains as easily as wearing cloth.

In less than half an hour (about 7 minutes), the four knights finished arming themselves.

Still, Cale, the eldest of the same company, asked Elio.

“Are you armed?”

“Do I have to?”

Yeonjeokha asked with a puzzled face.

I didn’t arm myself when I was in Kang Ho or even when I was running across Kuju, but I don’t know if I have to do it here.

“Wouldn’t you know if you were a sword master? Sword experts (professionals) are also armed, so it would be good to do it.”

I was a little hesitant to relate to those words.

To be honest, I still don’t know how far my inaction will go here.

He had met the Duke of Escatos, who was known as the Sword Master, but the existence of mana itself was a higher power than spirit energy, so it was impossible to predict.

Seeing that Count Codrantes, the sword master, survived the meteor shower, he wondered if he would be as good as that.

Before leaving, while Cale and the knights were looking at Yeonjeokha with ambiguous eyes, a middle-aged man came in with a package.

Cale was delighted when he saw the middle-aged man.

“Eric, you are welcome. A new engineer has arrived in our company…”

Eric Jasper said before he could finish his sentence.

“I know. I got a call late last night, so I’m here to pick it up now. Are you Sir Elio?”

Eric Jasper asked Elio, who was wearing casual clothes, as if to confirm.

“yes.”

“Quartermaster Eric Jasper. Just call me Eric.”

Eric is a commoner with an aristocratic ancestor – aristocrat only in pattern – ‘Ramus (bough branch)’.

I didn’t know the situation of having a relationship, and I just thought of him as a ‘noble and easy-going uncle’.

“Ah yes. What about it?”

“By Baron Robin’s instructions, I’m here to give you military uniforms. Please take it and sign it.”

After handing over the package, Eric held out a piece of paper and a pen.

When the dark-eyed Yeon Jeok-ha hesitated after receiving the paper, Eric poked at the blank with his fingertips.

When the younger brother, who had been scammed in the past, hesitated, Cale said a word.

“Write anything. Because it’s not that important.”

Then, as Eric explained, he added.

“Of course, you can write anything you like, but keep in mind that the same signature must be signed in order to have legal effect.”

“Let’s not be too intimidated by signing the confirmation that we received this outfit. So, newcomers can’t do it any more? By the way, don’t you have chain mail?”

“As you know, chain mail is the personal equipment of knights. It is not officially paid by the marquis family.”

“Yeah, I know. I’m not saying that I’m going to be put into the rift right now, but I’m going to have to wear only clothes.”

“I understand the circumstances, but… there are no personal equipment in the logistics department.”

“Then what can I do?”

Cale looked at Elio with a sad face.

Even if it’s a savage, it’s been reinforced with one excellent article, so I hope it lasts a little longer, but I don’t know how it will be.

In the meantime, I imitated and drew a rough letter that I was writing.

After confirming the signature on the certificate, Eric greeted the knights and left without looking back.

As soon as they matched, they changed into stiff, thick knight clothes.

It was dyed red and blue, the same as the one worn by the nobles gathered at the marquis’s barracks last night.

Kyle said something.

“It’s much better. Let’s go now.”

Cale led the way, and the four knights followed.

Cale and the knights moved to the clearing between the camp and the ice wall.

In the wide snowy field, there were already about 900 soldiers standing in an orderly order by company.

The knights went and stood in front of Alpha Company, which was at the forefront.

After a while, a centurion approached and handed Fabian a flag embroidered with a red dragon.

Fabian glanced at Elio’s complexion.

Originally, the flag bearer of the company was the strongest among the second lieutenants.

As Elio sighed, Fabian pretended to be invincible and accepted the flag.

After a while, Marquis Bernardo, a general, appeared under the escort of the Phoenix Knights, leading the staff, Viscount Oscar Avid, and the knight commander’s lieutenants.

Upon discovering Marquis Bernardo, the riders raised their flagpoles vertically.

As if Marquis Bernardo was reviewing, they passed Charlie Company and Bellatos Company and reached Alpha Company.

Every time a company passed, the company commanders, the barons, fell away to their own company.

Finally, when Marquis Bernardo reached Alpha Company, Baron Dennis Robin moved to the head of the company.

The corners of Marquis Bernardo’s mouth went up slightly when he noticed Elio standing in Alpha Company.

Now I feel like Alpha Company has lived up to its name.

Shortly thereafter, Viscount Oskar Arvid, a staff member, laid hands on Baron Dennis Robin of Alpha Company.

The company commander, Baron Dennis Robin, took the lead with the flag bearer.

Bellatos and Charlie Company followed behind.

Marquis Bernardo and the Phoenix Knights followed at the rear.

***

In front of Hirhera Ice Wall.

Alpha Company did not stop and advanced to the front line.

When Alpha Company arrived at the crack in the ice wall, Codrantes’ Diva Company gave up and fell back.

Fortunately, no monsters appeared in the rift, and the replacement of units was carried out smoothly like water flowing.

Alpha Company Commander, Baron Dennis Robin, asked the Diva Company Commander, Baron Morton Veeck, who was retreating to Esun.

“Are there any signs of abnormality in the crack, Sir Beek?”

“No. There is no change in the size of the rift, and an average of 10 monsters appeared per day.”

“Are the ice walls being repaired? Aren’t you?”

Then Baron Morton Veeck shook his head thrillingly and answered.

“Mage Carlos is pouring magic, but to be honest, it doesn’t seem to be shrinking even an inch. Mage Carlos seemed to be aiming at maintaining the status quo rather than repairing it.”

“Okay. Good job.”

“Good job. I’ve been hearing strange noises from the other side of the rift since yesterday, so you’d better be careful.”

“The sound of the witch beast?”

“It’s the first time I’ve heard it, so I can’t explain it. You may hear it again, so listen. Enough then.”

Baron Morton Veeck joined the rear of Diva Company and left as if he had nothing more to say.

Baron Dennis Robin, who was standing there with a disgusted face, looked around the crack once.

The three knights were firmly guarding the area they were entrusted with with the centurions.

By his side, only Fabian, the flag bearer, and Elio, who had not yet been given a mission, were left.

Baron Dennis Robin called out to Elio, who was standing still.

“Sir Elio.”

“yes?”

“That is a crack. Can you see it?”

“yes.”

In the huge ice wall, there was a hole the size of one sheet (about 3 meters) wide and two sheets (about 6 meters) long.

“It’s the same here, but around the ice wall, only hungry monsters come and go in search of food. When it comes to monsters, they have reason and know that they are blocked by an ice wall, so they don’t even come near them. It has been blocked for thousands of years, so you know you have nothing to gain by going.”

“ah!”

Only then did he understand why the rival monsters did not pour out through the cracks.

Like the humans on the continent of Rodina, it seems that the monsters also live a little away from the ice wall.

At that time, a monster in the form of a 3-meter-tall giant gorilla slowly walked out from the inside of the ice wall.

It was a monster called the Ice Ogre whose whole body was covered in white frost.

The gigantic ice ogre glanced around at the humans and strode to one side of them.

Just like the nickname ‘the strongest monster on land’, he didn’t seem to have the slightest fear.

As the Ice Ogre approached, Cale ran towards it with a centurion and ten musketeers.

Before long, Cale’s troops and the Ice Ogre confronted each other.

First, the gunmen’s magic rifles opened fire.

Puff puff puff—!

Sparks flew from the ice ogre’s body.

However, the magic bullet did not scratch the ice ogre’s skin.

There was a limit to the magical power of the magic rifle itself.

If it had been a magic bullet fired by a mana user like the Phantom Knights of the Royal Palace – with the effect of increasing magic power – it would have pierced the skin, but it was impossible with a regular gunman’s magic bullet.

The magic bullet only made Ice Ogre angry.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

With a wild roar, the Ice Ogre charged at the musketeers.

Then, Cale slid into the ice ogre and cut the ice ogre’s calf with the mana sword.

Kwajik-!

With a loud popping noise, the Ice Ogre’s calf went into incontinence.

Proof that Kayle’s mana sword is stronger than magic bullets.

The Ice Ogre’s head, which was facing forward, jerked downward.

It is to find a human who has injured his calf.

Baron Dennis Robin, who had stopped talking to Elio and watched in silence, suddenly drew his sword and ran like the wind.

Soon after, the baron pierced the mana sword into the side of the ice ogre, who turned his upper body to find Cale.

Poo-!

Cale and the baron’s joint effort was natural, as if their hands and feet had been matched several times.

“Big!”

Considering the Ice Ogre’s size, the longsword stuck in its waist wasn’t a big deal, but the shock was great, and the Ice Ogre just screamed in place.

Even after pulling out the sword stuck in his waist and throwing it, only his eyeballs rolled back and forth.

It was a frightening move.

Then, this time, the centurion under Cale came to support.

The Baron, Kayle, and the Centurion circled around the Ice Ogre and opened fire on them.

The ice ogre’s skin, whose mana had weakened due to a back injury, was split open by the three men’s mana swords.

The Ice Ogre, covered in blood, eventually escaped through a crack.

However, Baron Dennis Robin did not pursue the fleeing Ice Ogre and returned to Elio.

After a brief fierce battle, the area in front of the rift became quiet again.

Baron Dennis Robin said as he brushed off the Ice Ogre’s blood from his blade.

“Ice ogres are less intelligent, but quick-witted. If you don’t want to do it, you run away like that. You can’t go after it when it’s like that. There is a good chance it will go berserk.”

“Frenzy?”

Fabian explained instead of the exhausted baron.

“When faced with an extreme situation, high-ranking monsters may enter a ‘Berserker’ state. It’s called berserk, and it doesn’t take the trauma of human berserkers.”

“A zealot?”

“A knight who has fallen into a berserker state by using a forbidden drug to make his body run wild is called a berserker. There is even a saying that the drug that causes Berserker is made from the blood of a beast.”

In the meantime, Baron Dennis Robin, who had finished grooming the sword, said to his younger brother.

“Are all your questions answered? Originally, the strongest of the second lieutenants was supposed to follow me with a flag, but I don’t think he would like that either. Right?”

“yes.”

“Then, Fabian will continue to take on the rider as of now, and Kyeong-eun… I think rift reconnaissance would be suitable, how about it?”

Although the word is ‘rift reconnaissance’, it actually means to look around Alpha Company.

However, they took it as ‘go into the rift’.

“It’s like that. what.”

Anyway, the ice wall, the crack, and the silence after the meteor shower were questionable, but the couple didn’t hesitate at all.
