Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1076
Episode 1076. Does the garrison seem safe?
The rift was quiet until the end of the Rift surveillance by the Escatos Kingdom Army.
Then the atmosphere in the garrison was divided into two.
Most still thought of it as ‘the calm before the storm’, but there were also people who said ‘I don’t know if it’s a change in Tamion’.
Then, the Anima Company of the Baylem Kingdom was put in to monitor the rift.
Hirhera Escatos Garrison.
Marquis Bernardo’s camp.
around noon.
Elio, who was reading a mana development book in the barracks as usual, suddenly lifted his head.
Somehow it didn’t feel right.
According to my experience, in this case, something happened to my acquaintances or to myself.
He put the book down and went out of the barracks.
The sky was still blue and the visible snowfield was as calm as ever.
After looking towards the ice wall for a moment, Elio followed the faint sound of shouting and walked.
In the empty lot behind the company barracks, Fabian was practicing swordsmanship.
Finding Elio, Fabian withdrew his sword and approached him.
“Squadron commander. Is there anything you want me to do?”
“No, I’m just taking a walk.”
“What are you doing? Take a walk at this hour.”
Fabian said as if making fun of Elio, who spends all day locked up in the dorm.
“Which unit is in charge of monitoring the rift now?”
“Today, the Baylem Kingdom’s Anima Company has been replaced.”
“Has it happened already? It’s unfortunate that it’s the turn of the Baylem Kingdom.”
“why?”
“I don’t feel good. I think something will happen sooner or later.”
“omg! Even so, you won’t be immediately pushed back to the garrison like last time, right?”
“If the demons really invade… they probably won’t be able to stop it.”
Elio shook his head.
It was because it was impossible for a single company in the Kingdom of Baylem to stop the demons.
“They say that the beasts seem to have moved their habitat… That must have been a vain wish.”
“Did you believe that?”
“I believe it. It was about wishing it was. Anyway, are you sure of an invasion by demons?”
“My hunches have never been wrong.”
“Can you stop it with the troops from the Hirhera Garrison?”
“You have to stop it. There is no other way.”
“Isn’t there also a strategic retreat? Rather than persevering recklessly knowing that it won’t work…”
“If Hiruhera is taken away, the war against the demons will be more difficult. There are too many places to protect. If Hirhera is taken over by the demons, the North will be ruined.”
“ha! It’s like that again.”
A shotgun ceremony flowed from Fabian’s mouth.
Thinking that the retreat from Hirhera would mean the destruction of the north, the future was dark.
“It seems like he’s trying to do as I say.”
With his horse, Elio pointed to the northern sky where there was a crack.
Fabian’s face stiffened as he inadvertently turned his head.
Dark clouds were slowly gathering from the other side of the deep blue sky.
“What is that? I don’t think it’s a rain cloud…”
“It’s the ether of darkness.”
“Aether of Darkness?”
“Yes, it’s just the condensed dark ether that looks like a cloud.”
Elio had seen such a phenomenon a few times in the past, so he wasn’t too surprised.
However, Fabian’s face was overwhelmed by a natural phenomenon he had never seen before.
“It must be full of demons under the dark ether, right?”
“I guess so.”
Soon after, a bell sounded from the rift watchtower announcing a crisis.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding-!
Knights and soldiers who maintained an emergency situation poured out of the barracks.
However, the soldiers who saw the sky dyed black were seized with fear and panicked.
Fabian and the knights ran around and drove the helpless soldiers into the clearing.
Finally, when Fabian and the knights joined in, Elio stepped in front of the soldiers.
“Are you scared?”
“…”
“Are you scared!”
Elio shouted, and the knights and soldiers answered ‘yes’ with a low voice.
Then Elio continued talking with a nonchalant face.
“Raise your hand if you don’t have family or loved ones back home.”
“…”
But the knights and soldiers who didn’t know the meaning of the question didn’t even move.
“If you don’t have family and loved ones in your hometown, you don’t have to fight in Hirhera. Such a person may leave this place. I wouldn’t call it desertion. Go anywhere, eat well and live well. Get that person to the side. i will send it now I’m not testing you, and I’m not joking. If you have no one to protect in your hometown, stay away. Most of you will die if you remain in Hirhera. Don’t regret going then and leave when the opportunity presents itself.”
Thirty or so soldiers, who had been paying attention, hesitantly fell to the side.
Elio looked at them and clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk! shitty things. What have you been up to since you couldn’t make someone you love? If you want to live long, you’d better go south. Live a little better in the South. good.”
About thirty men and women rushed southward.
Elio spoke to the 300 or so people who were still left.
“As everyone knows, if we can’t protect Hirhera, the North will perish. Most of you will die here before the North is destroyed. It’s love, it’s nabal, I don’t know, if there’s someone who wants to live alone, leave that person too. You guys don’t win a losing battle just because you’re left, so there’s no need to feel remorse. come out.”
“…”
A strange silence enveloped Rufus Company.
After a while, the knights and soldiers shouted as if desperate.
“I’m not going!”
“We are the strongest Rufus Company in the North!”
“I’m going to die anyway, so I’ll die here!”
Elio, who had been looking at the determined company members with mixed eyes, opened his mouth.
“This is the death you chose. Don’t say that you died because of me. Got it!”
“yes!”
Eventually, Elio led the remaining 300 members of the company and headed for the gathering place of Marquis Bernardo’s army.
Marquis Bernardo’s face brightened a little when he saw the Rufus company flag approaching.
After a while, the Phoenix Knights and four companies of about 1,300 troops under the direct control of the Marquis moved in an orderly manner toward the headquarters of the Escatos Kingdom.
***
Hirhera Garrison.
In the snowy field, the Escatos Baylum Raminof Kingdom army stood in a long line.
Twelve thousand soldiers from the three kingdoms surrounded the garrison like an iron wall.
Seeing the dark clouds rolling in, the morale that had subsided was revived.
As the knights of the three kingdoms gathered in the center, the morale of the soldiers reached its peak.
The vice-general of the Kingdom of Baylem, Earl Max Chade, approached Duke Herbert Liberato, the enemy.
“Sir, Marshal. The Anima Company committed to the rift…”
“Leave it alone.”
Duke Herbert Liberato’s gaze was fixed on the dark clouds that descended near the garrison.
Count Max Chade did not back down easily.
The Anima Company was an elite unit of the Count Chade family, so losing them would be extremely damaging.
“But…”
Only then did Duke Herbert Liberato turn his head.
Count Max Chade lowered his eyes at the cool eyes of the sword master, Duke Herbert Liberato.
“This is a position that everyone should protect. I want to ask before that. Does the garrison seem safe from the Count’s point of view?”
“…”
Earl Max Cheid could not answer.
In fact, even if they came down to the garrison, it would not be safe.
“There is not much difference between the dangers of the Rift Watch Post and the Hirhera Garrison. If the demons had decided to invade, how many of the garrison troops would survive? cloth? Two thousand?”
“…”
“Even if we can’t, 10,000 people will bury their bones in the Hirhera Garrison. I just go 5 or 10 minutes ahead.”
“Still, isn’t there a chance of survival in the garrison?”
“Are you talking about the chance to escape? Not like a count. It’s not just the Count who gets hurt, so don’t think I’m the only one. Who will lead the battle if the troops in the front line are pulled back because it is dangerous?”
“My thoughts were short.”
“Look at those clouds. The Escatos Kingdom Army called that the dark ether. Totally agree. Just looking at it is horrifying enough to make your hair stand on end. I don’t know if I’ll be able to fight properly if I meet the subject of that energy. Even I am like this, but knights and soldiers must be more? Go back to the count’s troops and encourage them.”
“yes.”
Count Max Chade bowed to Duke Herbert Liberato and turned around.
Elio, who was silently staring ahead, murmured.
“It started.”
“What?”
“The fight between the demon and the anima company.”
“Ah…”
Fabian turned his ear towards the rift, but didn’t hear anything.
Fabian, who was looking straight ahead with a nervous face, heard the voice of the company commander, Elio, in his ears.
“… they’re all dead.”
“…”
At that moment, Fabian felt his heart sink.
It was disorienting to hear that the Anima Company had been massacred in less than five minutes.
Deed deed-.
The snow field vibrated like an earthquake.
And soon after, a swarm of monsters came like a tidal wave.
There were also familiar beasts like White Wolf, Giant Smilodon, Giant Bear, Yeti, but it was the first one the placenta had ever seen.
Even in the sky that had turned black, there was a constant ‘boo-woo’ sound.
A swarm of bloodsucking flies was evident.
Behind the uncountable number of monsters, various kinds of monsters caught a glimpse.
The number of demons was not inferior to the demons.
Demon beasts and demons dyed the white snowfield black.
Twelve thousand is such an overwhelming number that it looks dangerous like a lantern in the wind.
The faces of the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms, who had been courageous a little while ago, turned blue.
In particular, the newly deployed Raminov kingdom army fell into a state of panic.
“Ouch! Save me!”
“Everyone will die! Everyone dies!”
“Move!”
Even before the beasts arrived, the rear of the Raminov Kingdom army collapsed.
Hundreds broke away and fled, and knights ran to control the remaining men.
Duke Iskra Raminof, Marshal of the Kingdom of Raminov, frowned upon seeing his troops in a mess, but there was nothing he could do right away.
On the other hand, Escatos and the Baylem Kingdom Army, who had experienced the invasion of demons once, were calm.
They, too, were in despair, but it didn’t turn out to be a mess like the Raminov kingdom army.
Before the swarm of monsters could reach them, the smell unique to the beasts was first driven by the wind.
If you want to break the brunt of the demons and raise the morale of your allies, you have to show something at this point.
Duke Herbert Liberato of Baylem and Duke Iskra Raminof of Raminof saw Duke Stauros Escatos, Marshal of the Kingdom of Escatos.
It was because the Kingdom of Escatos was leading the garrison units in the dark.
Duke Stauros Escatos raised his right hand and held it forward.
Then Count Joel Stream, the commander of the Optimus Knights, shouted as he ran out.
“For Escatos!”
The Optimus Knights ‘Waaaa!’ He shouted and followed him.
As the Knights of Escatos advanced, the Polaris Knights of Baylem Kingdom ran side by side with the Iron Wall Knights of Raminov Kingdom on the left.
The elite knights representing the three kingdoms and the beasts collided in the middle.
Kwajajajak-!
“Kuaa!”
“Keeck!”
With a violent crashing sound, the monsters—those hit by the swords of the Knights of the Kingdom Army—fallen down, bleeding.
The magic beasts that came in like waves stopped for a moment.
A shout of ‘Waaaa!’ erupted from the kingdom’s allied camp at the knights’ performance.
But the cheers did not last long.
It was true that the Knights were killing the Witch Beasts, but there were too many of them.
The monsters seemed to spread to the left and right of the knights, but soon the knights disappeared from the kingdom’s sight.
The monsters that swallowed the knights were pushed back by the kingdom allied forces at the rear.
