Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1079
Episode 1079. Because there is no equal world,
Glaches Fortress is a star fort built long ago in preparation for the war with the Londinium Empire.
The most elite units of Escatos Baylum Raminof were deployed in each star-shaped protruding pentagonal area.
Even then, one of the remaining two places was in charge of Rufus Company, and the other was taken by knights from the Knights of the Three Kingdoms.
Rather than raising the status of Rufus Company to a position equal to that of the elite Knights of the Three Kingdoms, it was done in consideration of Baron Elio Lagoa’s ruthless inaction.
Rufus Company.
late night.
Fabian, who was standing guard with the soldiers on top of the 5-meter-high castle, grumbled.
“No, but shouldn’t we make up for the lost personnel completely? How are you going to protect this place with two hundred people?”
Then jockey Ray Morgan said something.
“Where is the supplement? Other companies are now in the process of consolidation.”
“Eh!”
Fabian sighed.
It was true that Marquis Bernardo was also reducing 4 companies to 2 companies because there were so many deaths.
The other two territories of the Escatos Kingdom were added.
In the case of the Counts of Codrantes and the Counts of Putocoa, they had to be reduced to one company.
Fabian, who was looking down five meters, murmured.
“shit. Build it a little higher. What is 5 meters? If a ghoul stretched out its hand, would it reach it?”
Glaches Fortress was a decent fortress against humans.
However, if the opponent is a monster or monster, it is different.
For monsters with huge bodies, 5 meters was not a wall they couldn’t cross.
Elio, who was on patrol just in time, approached Fabian and said,
“You are always complaining. Do you know who is responsible for the lack of replenishment in Rufus Company?”
“Isn’t it because the company commander is a one-man army?”
“Yeah no The lack of replenishment in our company is because of you, not me.”
“yes? What did I do? I have never been photographed by my superiors.”
Fabian, taken aback, looked at Elio with a look of regret.
Until receiving a title, a knight is nothing more than a boundary between nobles and commoners.
So, I always lived in the eyes of the aristocrats, but is it because of you?
“You have become a sword beginner. If you hit it with another unit, it’s a company commander. The Marquis said you would play the role of a hundred soldiers. So, because of you, there are fewer recruits.”
“Ah…”
Fabian avoided the eyes of Elio’s company commander and the company’s members.
Come to think of it, he himself is now a sword beginner.
I couldn’t recognize him because I was only looking behind the company commander Elio, but in the eyes of others, he would be seen as a company commander-level prosecutor.
‘Damn it. They made a fuss about not being recruited, but it was because of me!’
When this happens, it is difficult to say anything about the work of the superiors.
Embarrassed, he quickly changed the topic.
“By the way, Sergeant Major. How long are you planning to stay here? Thinking of food and fire stones, you won’t last long, will you?”
“I don’t know. The Raminov Kingdom’s supply unit was annihilated, so we decided to support them there. A week is the limit.”
“A week?”
“That would be if the demons didn’t invade.”
“Ah…”
Fabian immediately understood Elio’s words.
For the demons, the walls of Glaches Fortress are not a big obstacle.
Just like in the garrison, Glaches Fortress will be pushed helplessly.
Jockey Ray Morgan, who had been paying attention from earlier, intervened.
“Squadron commander, we can’t do it with our troops anyway, so why don’t we retreat?”
“What power do we have? If you want to do it from above, you do it.”
“The superiors can pull themselves out if necessary, but we can’t do that. I don’t know why I’m holding out here when I can’t be an opponent.”
“It won’t be an easy decision to give up Hirhera. If I give it away, can I get it back later? Hirhera becomes part of Tamion. Humans won’t even be able to go near the rift, and metallurgical monsters will take over the northern part. With no ice walls to protect you, will you stop in the north? The continent is going to perish.”
“It is, but… realistically…”
“Hirhera is now the gateway to Tamion and the human world. Giving up here is like giving up the continent. Can the great nobles who know that easily step out?”
“Aren’t you going to pull it out after all?”
Elio glanced at Ray Morgan.
It’s kind of a pitiful expression.
It was also pitiful to think of the fate of the Gnostic Soldiers, who will meet their end here.
But what can I do? There is no fair life under any sky.
“Do you want the great nobles to die here too?”
“It’s not like that.”
Ray Morgan hastily denied it.
It was because he could have been summarily punished if it became known that he had not yet received a title.
“ray.”
“yes?”
“How long have you been a knight?”
“I was appointed five years ago.”
“Then you must have lived as a knight for the past five years. Am I right?”
“yes.”
“The treatment the knight received was also considerable. The common people must have been boiling inside when they read the sutra.”
“…”
Ray Morgan lowered his head, knowing the meaning of the company commander’s words.
Seeing that, Elio turned around without mentioning the matter any further.
‘Because there is no equal world.’
Slaves are commoners, commoners are nobles, and nobles are envious of great nobles.
When Ray Morgan’s story was sorted out, Fabian blurted out.
“The demons won’t attack tonight, right?”
“If you come, we fight, if you don’t come, we rest.”
“Doesn’t the company commander have a premonition? What do you think?”
“It means nothing. Look around. It is a land of demons and monsters. If you throw a stone here, it will hit the beast’s head.”
Along with the horse, Elio picked up a stone.
“omg! sergeant major. Will you throw it?”
“Oh, to show how many monsters are around us.”
“Don’t do that. You can tell without throwing it. Isn’t the smell a joke?”
“Can you tell just by smell? I’ll let you hear it.”
Along with the horse, Elio tossed the boulder down with all his might.
‘puck!’ With a sound, an Ice Ogre recklessly ran toward the castle.
“Did you see it? Am I right?”
“Oops! Why do you touch a demon that is still? Then, what if the demons are provoked?”
Fabian picked up a long spear and threw it at the ice ogre’s head.
The long spear flew with great force and hit the ice ogre’s forehead, but it bounced back without penetrating the thick shell.
“Ah…”
A sigh escaped Fabian’s mouth.
I did it in case I became a sword beginner, but it didn’t work out like I thought.
The Ice Ogre grabbed the edge of the castle and climbed up.
The moment the ice ogre’s head popped up over the castle, Elio drew his sword and swung it like a thunderbolt.
Kwajik-!
The ice ogre’s head flew backwards with a terrifying destructive sound.
Despite losing its head, the Ice Ogre’s hands were tightly gripping the edge of the castle.
“What are you looking at? without taking it off.”
At Elio’s words, Fabian kicked the ice ogre’s finger.
After a while, the ice ogre’s torso plummeted down.
Fabian turned around and protested with an absurd face.
“Squadron commander! Why do you touch a demon that is still? Then, what if the monsters and demons come in?”
“Right now, demons and monsters are under the control of demons. They don’t come in groups unless the demons command them. don’t worry.”
“Still, isn’t there such a thing as one in ten thousand?”
“You saw it. Because he’s not coming.”
Fabian, who had been observing the trend under the castle for a while, cried out.
“Please don’t throw stones. The company commander will throw it as a joke, but if the stone hits the demon…”
“It must be unpleasant.”
“Excited demon beasts may flock to the castle.”
“Because he’s not coming.”
“The company commander is not a demon so how can you be sure of that?”
“You showed me you weren’t coming.”
“It was lucky.”
“That’s because it’s not luck. show me again?”
As Elio looked around for a stone, Fabian quickly changed his words.
“Your lieutenant commander is right. I’m not coming. I guess I was sensitive.”
“Well, because it is. But why did we throw stones?”
“It was not us, but the company commander threw it arbitrarily. He said that there are many monsters and monsters around the fortress.”
“ah! a no-nonsense guy He stayed with me and did it on his own.”
“To be precise, I even tried to dissuade him from doing so.”
Fabian drew a line like a knife, and Elio stopped biting him.
A heavy silence settled around the castle.
Suddenly, Elio raised his head and looked up at the night sky.
Not a single starlight was visible.
It seemed that the ether of darkness had completely taken over Hirhera.
It wasn’t to this extent in ‘Heaven of Kings’, but it’s really like Sanggye.
‘How strong is the demon lord?’
When he compared the demon lord and the demon king, Fabian said.
“Did you know that the light on the right is the Royal Guard post of Baylem?”
As the pentagonal protruding part of the molding fortress was made to support the left and right protruding parts, the situation on both sides caught my eye.
“Was that Baylam?”
“yes. The one on the right is Baylem, and the one on the left is the Alliance of Knights of the Three Kingdoms.”
“I see.”
Elio’s gaze turned to the right.
When I thought of Anna Logan and Baroness Julie Greenwood, I felt strange.
I want him to live as much as possible, but that’s where he wants it to be.
“That swallow flying horse that Sir Anna Logan taught me. Can I learn that too?”
“Are you going to learn it right away?”
“Then can you teach me too?”
“Have you not heard from Sir Anna Logan? I thought you knew because you two met often.”
“I asked him to teach me how to send mana to his veins, and all he did was give me advice a few times.”
“Didn’t you change your mind from Miss Sara to Sir Anna Logan?”
“I’m not that kind of a reed guy.”
“Is Sarah really all right? They say that many Phantom Knights died.”
“I hurt my arm a little, but I’m fine.”
Fabian’s expression darkened slightly.
In the case of Sera, it was because she had no place to lean on other than her magic gun, so she was in danger.
“Have you made some progress with Sarah?”
“I haven’t put a word on it yet.”
“Have a good look. Will the attitude towards you be different from before? You are a sword beginner. They said they would give you a title soon.”
“Is that so? ha! I don’t know if Sarah will be alive by then.”
“I’ll teach you how to fly with swallows, so teach Sarah. Even Sir Anna Logan lived thanks to that martial arts.”
“Can I teach Miss Sarah?”
A blush appeared on Fabian’s depressed face.
Of course, you can teach Sera-san what you learn!
“What a great thing that is. Of course you can teach Sara-san to anyone who wants to learn. Only swordsmanship is allowed. And only while I am there.”
“Where are you going?”
“You said you were going home. When I go back to my hometown, you can do swordsmanship as you like. It won’t matter if you use it to make soup or cook rice.”
“I guess your hometown is deep in the mountains?”
“Oh, you’re dead and can’t come back even after waking up.”
“All right. Please teach me martial arts first.”
Fabian’s eyes burned at the thought of learning martial arts and teaching it to Sera.
