Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1081
Episode 1081. feel sorry?
The great nobles quietly left Glaches Fortress without even knowing a mouse or a bird.
But the secret didn’t last long.
The first place to detect the abnormality is Count Putokoa.
Count Reno Payne, Count Putocoa’s staff, led his clerk, Baron Hugo Ramos, to a remote location.
“The Count seems to be planning something, do you know anything about it?”
“Why is that?”
“It’s because you seem to have changed a bit since returning from the ruined castle early in the morning.”
“I know there is none. What can I do now?”
“It is, but…”
Viscount Reno Payne squinted.
After visiting the ruined castle, I was very concerned that Viscount Colacio Keeper, the commander of the knights, was suddenly hanging out with the Count.
“Is there something on your mind?”
“It’s because the knight commander’s behavior is a bit strange after he returned to the ruined castle. You’re acting like something happened to the Count.”
“Did you collide with Baron Lagoa again in the ruined castle?”
“Looking at the count’s bright expression, it’s not like that. I need to find out what happened in the abandoned castle. The clerk of Count Codrantes is your academy classmate, right?”
“yes.”
“Go and see him. There must be something. I don’t feel good.”
“All right.”
Baron Hugo Ramos went straight to the clerk of Count Codrantes.
It was not difficult to meet them at the Star Fortress because they were united as kingdom troops.
After hearing what Baron Hugo Ramos had to say, Armin Bayer, the clerk of Count Codrantes, said something absurd.
“That is so strange. Our count hasn’t been seen since an hour ago. The staff member seems to know something, but she doesn’t say anything. i wonder too What happened in the abandoned castle?”
“You mean Count Codrantes has disappeared?”
“Because it is. I don’t know where to go in Glaches Fortress. Could it be that you didn’t abandon the fortress and run away?”
Baron Armin Bayer’s thoughtlessly thrown words brought Baron Hugo Ramos to his senses.
“A wizard? Where is the court mage Sir Carlos now?”
“what? Do you really think you ran away?”
Baron Armin Bayer looked at Baron Hugo Ramos with bewildered eyes.
“Our Count even hired an assassination organization to kill Baron Lagoa. If you take off the great nobles, they’re just ordinary people. Would you do anything to survive?”
“…”
Baron Armin Bayer did not object.
Looking at the situation at the Glaches Fortress, I thought that might be the case.
In the end, the two went to Baron Glen Taylor, the clerk of the Marquis Bernardo.
After some time, the scribes learned that the Duke and Marquis of Escatos Kingdom had disappeared from Glaches Fortress.
Baron Hugo Ramos immediately ran to his staff, Viscount Reno Payne.
After hearing the clerk’s report, Viscount Reno Payne muttered with a bewildered face.
“The great nobles escaped Glaches Fortress?”
“That’s right. The Duke of Escatos, the Marquis Bernardo, and the Count of Codrantes have disappeared. It seems that the court mage, Mage Sir Carlos, is using teleport magic to escape.”
“We’re not the only ones doing this… I’m sure the same thing is going on in Baylem and Raminof, right?”
“The wizard can teleport only one person. They said that up to 10 people could use the short-range teleport. It seems that they are escaping in order of rank.”
“ha! There are ten people in the kingdom…”
Even after a rough calculation, there was no place for him.
He seemed to know why the count didn’t come looking for him today.
“Good job. Please step back and see.”
“Yes, but viscount. What about those left behind?”
“it will work out somehow.”
Viscount Reno Payne, who took out a bottle from his coat of arms, asked Baron Hugo Ramos.
“Would you like a drink?”
“no. it’s okay.”
Then Viscount Reno Payne waved his hand with a weary face as if telling him to stop.
***
There are no eternal secrets.
Especially in a closed place like Glaches Fortress.
Rumors of the great nobility’s escape spread among the knights.
The knights blamed the nobles for escaping, leaving their men behind on the battlefield.
Before noon, ten great nobles disappeared from the kingdom of Escatos.
When one Sword Master and eight Sword Experts disappeared, the knights of the Escatos Kingdom were gripped with despair.
The attention of the knights abandoned in Glaches Fortress was focused on Rufus Company.
This is because Baron Elio Lagoa, known as the strongest in the North, is still in his position.
The knights clamored, ‘Baron Lagoa was excluded because he was from a barbarian’.
Considering the stubborn and selfish great nobles, it was hard to find any other reason.
To such knights, Baron Lagoa’s staff member, Fabian, lashed out.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Our company commander stayed behind to protect Glaches Fortress!”
Fabian’s words swept Glazes Fortress like a gale.
And the knights of Escatos Baylem Raminof gathered in Rufus Company.
around noon.
Fabian visited Elio, who was hiding in a simple barracks.
“Squadron commander.”
“And why? Did the demons even come?”
“It’s not demons… Knights have come.”
“Why knights? Did you have an accident?”
Fabian jumped up at Elio’s questioning.
“An accident? Will there be any accidents at Glazes Fortress? Everywhere is clogged with monsters.”
“But why are the knights coming?”
“It’s because of the company commander.”
“me? What did I do?”
“Eskatos Baylum Raminof’s Marshal, Vice General, Chief of Staff and Court Wizard have all disappeared. This means that all the top commanders have left.”
“I told you it would be. What does that have to do with me?”
“The knights want the company commander to lead Glaches Fortress.”
“it’s okay. No matter who leads, the result is the same. Just tell them to fight at their best.”
“Please tell the knights what you just said.”
“I’ll tell you to fight on your own because no matter who leads you, everyone will die?”
“Oh, did you mean that?”
“Then did you think it meant something else? you said They will all die.”
Elio opened the book he was holding and covered his face.
The fragrant, slightly sour smell of old books rushed into my nostrils.
Namgoong-yeon suddenly came to mind.
She seemed to like the smell of books like this.
Fabian did not give up easily.
He seemed to know the feelings of company commander Elio.
No one likes to talk with those who are about to die.
But the more he did, the more he wanted to put Elio as company commander in front of the knights.
“The company commander is the last hope left for the knights. I’m not asking you to save them. Let me die in hope, not in despair. Can’t that be?”
“I don’t lie.”
“Then just show me your face from a distance. The knights will be encouraged just by seeing the company commander.”
“Fabian.”
“yes?”
“Are you sympathizing with the knights?”
“…”
Fabian twitched his lips, but couldn’t say anything.
To be honest, it’s not that I don’t have that kind of heart at all.
As Fabian sneaked away, Elio stood up.
“Do not sympathize, but have a compassionate heart.”
“Yes…”
said Elio, patting Fabian on the back and passing by.
“I won’t die. It’s not a bad thing to sympathize with someone.”
“Squadron commander, how do you feel about the knights?”
“Sorry?”
“why? Didn’t the company commander create this situation? Rather, you did not escape and stayed behind. Why are you sorry?”
“That’s right. Why am I doing this?”
Elio strode outside.
When he appeared, the tumultuous castle area became quiet.
Elio climbed to the edge of the castle and looked down at the knights.
Not only Escatos, but also many knights from the Kingdom of Baylem and Raminof gathered.
Among the Knights of the Kingdom of Baylem, there were also Barons Anna Logan and Julie Greenwood.
Despite his friendship, it seems that he was not involved in the escaping procession of the great nobles.
Looking at the faces of the knights full of expectations, I could only sigh.
After a while, Elio opened his mouth.
“I am Baron Elio Lagoa, Lord of Slash Land and Captain of Rufus Company. Why did you guys come to see me?”
Then the knights shouted.
“All the top commanders have fled! Baron Lagoa! Please lead us!”
“Baron Lagoa! Please save us!”
“I have no one to rely on but the Baron!”
The sporadic shouts subsided.
Elio, who had been listening silently, spoke in a calm tone.
“I’ll be honest. I have no experience in commanding a unit. Commanding Rufus Company is daunting. It is beyond my ability to lead you guys.”
Despite his refusal, the knights did not give up.
“Please let me fight alongside the baron!”
“Please don’t abandon us!”
When the knights begged, Elio with a weak heart could not refuse any more.
“follow your heart. To be clear, I am not in command. I won’t even promise you victory. Only the knights who say it’s good should come to Rufus Company.”
At Elio’s words, the knights shouted ‘Wow!’ shouted.
Were you inspired by that sound?
The monsters and monsters that were roaming around the Glaches Fortress began to rush towards the fortress all at once.
Soon after, the war between humans and demons resumed around Glaches Fortress.
Elio slashed the monsters and monsters coming from the protruding edge of the castle.
Monsters and monsters rushed in like waves, but they couldn’t overcome Elio.
Eventually, the corpses of demons and monsters piled up to the height of Glaches Fortress.
The beasts and demons advanced by stepping on the corpses of their own people, but lost their lives in front of Elio.
Elio did not promise victory, but he stood in front of Rufus’ company like a god.
However, despite his brilliant performance, the situation at Glaches Fortress was not good.
The allied forces of the kingdoms guarding the other four parts of the Star Fortress collapsed helplessly at the first attack of the monsters and monsters.
The allied forces of the kingdom were pushed to the ruins in the center in less than 10 minutes after the fight happened.
When most of the castle fortresses were occupied by demons and demons, Elio led Rufus Company and the knights who followed him into the ruined castle.
It was because he couldn’t continue the fight while giving his back to the beasts and monsters.
The troops gathered in the ruined castle did not exceed three hundred.
In that short time, 1,700 people who guarded the Sungseong Fortress died.
Soldiers blocked the windows and doors with old furniture lying around in the abandoned castle.
It would be crushed by the beast’s blow, but Elio did not stop the soldiers’ actions.
Because that was better than being terrified.
just as expected?
Witchbeasts and monsters broke furniture and snatched humans.
Some survived with the help of nearby knights, but many soldiers lost their lives after being captured by demons and monsters.
Fires flared up all over the central hall of the ruined castle.
The fire stone’s light brightened the dark inside of the central hall.
Elio sat in front of one of them and stared at the flames.
The end he had spoken to Fabian was approaching.
‘Is it really okay to end like this?’
He hasn’t revealed his full potential yet.
I had no intention of revealing it. That’s why, at the last moment, he planned to escape with only Fabian.
He had to do that in order to kill the Heavenly Horse and the Golden Temple and return to his hometown.
At that time, the youngest child soldier in Rufus Company approached Fabian and held out something.
“What?”
“Let me write. If you survive, please deliver it to my house.”
Fabian, hesitant, received a letter from a child soldier.
Elio, who was squatting and watching the two of them, said.
“Give it back, Fabian.”
