Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1087
Episode 1087. do you want to follow me
Hirhera Escatos Kingdom Army Garrison.
As soon as he went down to the garrison, Elio was summoned by Viscount Oscar Avid, Marquis Bernardo’s staff.
When Elio went to visit him, Viscount Oscar Avid said with an apologetic face.
“I’m sorry for calling you, you need to rest.”
Perhaps because of the rumors of the victory, Viscount Oscar Avid treated him with respect.
“it’s okay. Only the bed has changed, nothing much has been done.”
It was true.
After one storm passed, the area near the rift was calmer than before.
Demon beasts and monsters that fled from the human land did not even come near the crack.
Viscount Oscar Avid said with a friendly smile.
“It’s all thanks to Baron Lagoa. It will be quiet until new monsters and monsters appear.”
“I think so.”
“Actually, the reason I asked to see you today is to ask for advice on managing the rift monitoring unit.”
“Advice?”
“The kingdoms of Baylem and Raminov are dissatisfied with the way they operate their units as before. They say they don’t have the troops to put in the three or two shifts.”
“Are you going to take it just once?”
“That’s right. Even if the shift cycle is shortened, only one unit can be applied.”
“Hmm…”
Elio shook his head.
To say the least, considering the damage this time around, it would be difficult for the three companies as before.
As Viscount Oscar Avid explained,
“It is not a far-fetched claim. Our Escatos kingdom, which suffered less damage than them, was also reduced to two companies. The Kingdom of Baylem and Raminof will only be able to organize one company.”
“So you’re saying you’re going to monitor the rift with all four companies?”
“In that regard, we need Baron Lagoa’s cooperation.”
“Is there anything I can cooperate with?”
“Currently, our Kingdom Army has three companies in the rift: Alpha Goliath and Rufus Company supporting Alpha Company. If Rufus Company is assigned to monitor the rift independently rather than as support… a total of five companies will be deployed.”
“Ah….”
“In order to relieve the fatigue of the troops put into rift monitoring, it is a common opinion among the commanders of the Allied Forces of the Kingdom that it would be nice if Rufus Company was officially entrusted with the rift monitoring mission, not support.”
Elio hesitated, unable to immediately respond to the unexpected words.
Viscount Oscar Avid looked at Baron Helio Lagoa and added a few words.
“Of course, if Baron Lagoa agrees, that means I will. We, Marquis Bernardo’s Alpha Company, are already being put into rift monitoring. However, considering the fatigue of the rift monitoring unit, I would appreciate it if you could think of it as a suggestion that it would be nice if Rufus Company stepped forward.”
“I will.”
Elio did not refuse.
In fact, Rufus Company hadn’t done anything at the Rift Watch Post for the past three days.
It seemed like it would be the same for a while.
It’s only once or twice that I follow Alpha Company without doing anything, and if that continues, words will eventually come out.
When Baron Helio Lagoa accepted it kindly, Viscount Oscar Avid’s face brightened.
“thank you. When the succession is decided, there will be a change in the position of Baron Lagoa. Until then, please consider leading Rufus Company.”
“Are you going to get another job?”
“I will go as the vice-captain of the Order of the Phoenix in place of Viscount Kerry Donner, who died in battle.”
“Then what about Rufus Company?”
“I think Fabian is the right person. If you want to take him to the Order, you can appoint someone else.”
“Looks like Fabian will get a title too, right?”
“That’s right. Since Fabian is a talented person that I have been keeping an eye on for a long time, I raised my opinion without delay. It will be dealt with at the same time as Baron Lagoa ascends.”
“Good. I will not take you to the Templars. I don’t have plans to take him with me yet, maybe later.”
“Yes, then we will proceed. The business is over. You may go back now.”
“Ah yes.”
Elio got up from his seat and took a few steps before suddenly stopping and looking back.
“Then, when does Rufus Company’s rift monitoring start?”
“I’ve already started, so I’m thinking about it after turning around to Raminov Kingdom. After Alpha Company, it will be 12 days later, and after Goliath Company, it will be 15 days later. When do you want it?”
“Please do it after Goliath Company.”
“All right. I will set it to 15 days after Goliath Company. Thank you for your courage once again. Thanks to that, the Marquis and I can shout a little louder.”
Elio smiled and left.
“All right. I will set it to 15 days after Goliath Company. Thank you for your courage once again. Thanks to that, the Marquis and I can shout a little louder.”

Marquis Bernardo camp.
Rufus Company.
As soon as I entered the company commander’s barracks, Fabian came to me as if I had been waiting.
“Squadron commander. Why did you call me?”
“I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?”
“Oh really. Why are you so excited? Please tell me the bad news first.”
“Our Rufus Company has also been entrusted with the rift monitoring mission alone. We decided to put in after the 15th, so make sure the company members are ready.”
“ah! did that happen in the end? Anyway, I can’t see others doing well. Any good news?”
“It looks like you will be given a title soon. On the day I ascend, I will also give you a title. If you receive the title, you will be in command of Rufus Company.”
“Then what about the company commander?”
“The position was vacant because the vice-captain of the Phoenix Knights died in battle. Ask me to be vice-captain.”
“Take me with you too.”
“What about Rufus Company? Would it be better for you to take over than for someone else to come?”
“Yes, but I want to follow the company commander.”
“I will call you later. It seems not now. I have nothing to do with you.”
Fabian had a dissatisfied expression on his face, but he didn’t insist on taking him with him.
It was because if he did not have his own place in the knights, it was better to take on the job of company commander, which was his goal as a knight.
“Make sure to keep your promise to call me later.”
“Don’t go there and pretend you don’t like it.”
“I don’t run away. There is a lot to learn from the company commander, and the ultimate goal of all knights is to become a knight of the lord! Just like the Knight Commander Ellen Phares.”
“…”
Elio glanced at Fabian who was swollen with dreams.
I wondered what his face would look like if he knew he had no intention of living as the lord of Slash Land.
“Are your dreams wild?”
“haha! You’re wild Since the company commander is the lord, it’s almost done, right? You’re not going to leave me with the marquess, are you?”
“Do you want to follow me?”
“of course! I will definitely follow the company commander. Don’t even think about leaving me.”
“Whatever.”
Elio nodded.
It seemed that he would not be suitable if he was taken with him when he went to the Empire and the Southern Great Forest in the future.
Unaware of such speed, the corners of Fabian’s lips caught in his ears.
‘good! done!’
Fabian felt like he wanted to scream.
Following Baron Helio Lagoa to Slash Land and training for a few years, he would be able to become a Knight Commander in no time.

The people in Hirhera Garrison didn’t know, but the war with the demons had a big impact on the continent.
In the meantime, the northern kingdoms, who had been watching as if it were other people’s business, scrambled to dispatch troops.
The Empire was no longer on the sidelines.
Due to the tense situation in the south, a full-fledged response was not possible, but the 7th Combat Division was still dispatched.
Notorious battle divisions in the Empire include the 7th and 9th Battle Divisions.
Fifty years ago, when the Imperial War broke out, if the 7th Battle Division played a major role in the war against the Southern Kingdom, the 9th Battle Division did so in the war against the Northern Kingdom.
Considering the old sentiments of the Northern Kingdom, the Empire turned the 9th Combat Division to the south and transferred the 7th Combat Division stationed in the south to Hirhera.
A month after the war with the demons broke out, five northern kingdoms and the Empire’s 7th Combat Division advanced to the Hirhera Garrison.
It goes without saying that the desolate entire area of Hirhera has turned into a huge military city.
Thanks to this, the number of rift monitoring units also increased significantly.
The existing three kingdoms also recruited, but with the addition of the newly entered five kingdoms and the 7th Combat Division, they were now put into the rift guard post once a month.
As the 8th Kingdom Army and the 7th Imperial Division were stationed in Hirhera, private businesses also came flooding in.
Dozens of stone structures and hundreds of portable tents were erected in the desolate snowfield.
Many of the newly erected stone structures and tents were restaurants, bars, and gambling halls.
The formally launched ‘Northern Union Command Headquarters’ did not prohibit the entry of private businesses.
No, on the contrary, it was encouraging.
Knowing that the Hirhera Garrison was not going to be operated for a short period of time, they prepared for a long-term battle.

No, on the contrary, it was encouraging.
In the meantime, Baron Helio Lagoa was promoted to Viscount, and Fabian was given the title of Baron.
Viscount Elio Lagoa was promoted to vice-captain of the Phoenix Knights, and Fabian was inaugurated as Rufus Company’s commander.
Even after becoming a company commander, Fabian’s life did not change much.
Except for the three days spent monitoring the rift, he almost lived in the parade ground.
His goal was to become the knight commander of Slash Land.
As soon as Fabian went to Slash Land, he wanted to be appointed as the knight commander.
After a month, monsters and monsters began to appear around the crack.
Perhaps the memories of the day they ran away were forgotten, or new ones had settled down on the other side of Tameion.
Still, Hirhera was peaceful thanks to the presence of the Allied Forces of the 8 Kingdoms and the Empire’s 7th Division.
Hirhera Garrison.
Inn and tavern Chrysopedio (Golden Fields).
At sunset, two men entered a stone building of considerable size.
As the cold air swelled with the sound of the door opening, the eyes of the guests on the first floor all turned toward the entrance.
They checked the clothes of the newly appeared men and immediately turned their heads.
Chrysopedio, a bar and inn, was only for knights because it was difficult to enter with the soldiers’ salaries.
Fabian dragged Elio, who was looking around curiously, into a corner.
“If you look around like that, you will be treated like a country boy. Just come.”
“Yeah. When did this happen?”
“When? This is the first bar ever built. A development frenzy is blowing in Hirhera. If you come back after a few days, a house is standing there.”
“It feels strange to see a stone building after only looking at tents. Is the owner rich?”
“Iknow, right. It would have cost a lot of money to build a building like this in Hirhera.”
“What if the building is good? It should taste good.”
“Isn’t that why I brought you here? I have found a drink that will suit your taste.”
Just in time, a saleswoman came over to take my order.
Fabian said excitedly, as if he had waited.
“Two beers and a decent snack, please.”
“Nuts and smoked beef chicken duck for snacks….”
“Chicken.”
Elio interrupted the clerk.
“Then I’ll bring you two beers and smoked chicken.”
Due to the large number of customers, the saleswoman quickly went back without even looking back.
“By the way, what is beer?”
“It was popular in the South, but it is a liquor that has recently been known to the Empire. This is the hottest drink in Hirhera’s bar these days. Something sweet and savory will suit your taste buds.”
“okay? It looks like you gave up swordsmanship and just wandered around bars? That’s a good choice too. What is life? You don’t know when you will die, but it’s better to enjoy it.”
