Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1307. Have you ever heard of people living there?

The place where the Imperial Army and the Southern Kingdom Army are currently confronting is Urban of the Principality of Topla.

After Torrance was taken away, the Imperial Army focused their efforts on the defense of the industrial city of Urban.

The southern kingdom army sent in as many as 15 steel golems, but they could not break the will of the imperial army to defend Urban.

Although it is true that the steel golem is the strongest weapon on the ground, the Southern Kingdom army must advance anyway to capture the city.

However, the southern kingdom army failed to capture Urban, a strategically important city.

Although they won major battles, it was because of the imperial army’s strategy.

The Imperial Army, pushed back from the front, sent a special operation unit to the rear of the Southern Kingdom Army to block the supply route, and the Southern Kingdom Army took three steel golems out of the front line to guard the supply route.

The steel golem being repaired counts.

With the remaining nine steel golems—which the Imperial Army is desperately defending—it was not an easy task to occupy Urban.

For that reason, the wires were stuck for months with Urban in the middle.

The war situation was against the imperial army.

This is because the southern kingdom army can leave behind the problem of supply and advance into Urban.

However, the Duke of Clan Boucher, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Kingdom, considered securing the safety of the supply route as his top priority because of his prudent personality.

There is also a reason why the Duke of Clan Boucher valued the supply route more than occupying Urban.

This is because the Imperial Army should not have stolen the steel golem and repair parts sent by the southern kingdom.

He thought, ‘Anyway, if you send more steel golems from the southern kingdom, you can capture Urban at any time, so there’s no need to overdo it’.

In the meantime, the Imperial Army was able to covertly lay the groundwork for a counterattack.

Principality of Topla.

around noon.

Louis Fraser III, the crown prince and commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, called Marquis Reid Costak, chief of staff of the expeditionary force, into his office.

Moments later, when Marquis Reid Kostock entered the office, the prince asked.

“What is the status of the Battalion unit?”

“Three hundred musketeers armed with excitiums and six Goliaths are on standby.”

The prince nodded.

I received the first three, and then, as promised, I received a total of six, one for three months.

“It’s six… It’s a pity, but I’m sure it will attract the steel golem’s eyes.”

“Currently, the number of steel golems in the southern kingdom group is nine. If they see Goliath, they will think it is their prey and run at it.”

“Tomorrow morning, we will launch a general counterattack. When the Batalion troops neutralize the steel golem, they push the enemy all the way to Torrens at once. I will entrust the vanguard to the Marquis Carlisle, so wash away the shame of your defeat.”

“All right.”

“And dispatch an inspector to the Battalion unit sometime today.”

“The Inspector?”

“We can’t just trust and entrust Axisium to the gunmen, can we?”

“I’m presumptuous, but will you become the manager when the battle begins?”

“It is meant to be symbolic. You won’t be able to change your mind once you know that Excitium is being thoroughly managed.”

“I see. I will instruct the Inspector General to assess the status of Excitium once a day.”

“Are there 30 Goliath engineers?”

“That’s right.”

“Tell them to increase to one hundred.”

“Isn’t that too many for Goliath’s numbers?”

“To collect and study the destroyed steel golem, that number of people is not enough. Shouldn’t we use the steel golem we got?”

“My thoughts were brief. I will send more magic engineers to the Mage Tower.”

“You’ll have to coax it well so that the magic tower doesn’t rebel.”

“Don’t worry about that. The atmosphere among mages has changed little by little since Xytium was distributed to the gunmen.”

“already?”

“Aren’t they smart people? Beyond the fact that an Excitium gunman can replace a battle mage… it’s to the point where the military notices it. They must be afraid of gunmen armed with excitium now.”

The prince smiled and said.

“Hey, if you get hit by Excitium, the shield of the Magus (Current 7 Archmage) will also break, so be careful.”

“Your Highness, however, it is not something to laugh about as it is the same for our knights.”

“Tsk tsk! Kyeong knows only one and doesn’t know the other. Do you think the order of status in this world will be overturned by excitium? No, rather the opposite. The status order will become more solid in front of the excitium. Don’t be afraid, just think about whose hands the Excitium Musketeer is in.”

“Ah…”

Marquis Reid Costak looked at the prince with respect.

Certainly, the prince was an extraordinary person.

When everyone is worried about the changes Excitium will bring, he thinks of using it.

“Visit Krano Vanek, visit the Batalion unit today and encourage them. There could be many casualties if you deal with the steel golem.”

“I will do as you command.”

Marquis Reid Kostock turned around and went out after bowing to the crown prince.

***

The next morning.

The Imperial army camp, which witnessed Goliath for the first time on the front line, was in an uproar.

The nobles who saw the dwarfed Goliath compared to the steel golem ran to Marquis Peron Carlisle with disappointed faces and said one word at a time.

“Your Excellency Commander. Have you ever seen His Highness the Crown Prince’s secret weapon?”

“It is like watching an adult and a child. A Goliath is no match for an Iron Golem.”

“If you know what Goliath’s armaments are, you’ll laugh. It’s a magic gun. It’s child’s play compared to the ‘death light’ fired by an iron golem.”

“It will take less than five minutes for the Battalion troops to be annihilated.”

“The only mana users are Viscount Krano Banek, the vice-captain, and Baron Philos Harwood, the commander of the musketry company. Putting two musketeers and three hundred musketeers in the vanguard… isn’t that just telling you to go out and die?”

“There was no shield unit to escort the gunmen. Is it true that His Highness the Crown Prince’s mercenary skills are excellent? We can’t believe it.”

As the surroundings became noisy, the Marquis of Carlisle of Peron raised a hand.

Only then did the nobles shut their mouths.

The chief of staff, Count Hawk Andre, nagged ahead of the commander.

“The Goliath and Batalion troops are armed with excitium, so don’t be hasty in predicting the outcome. In particular, I will not forgive anyone who speaks disrespectfully against the crown prince again.”

The voice of the chief of staff rose as he went backwards.

It was obvious that severe punishment would be imposed if it became known that he had even slandered the crown prince in the situation where Torres was taken away.

When the atmosphere became calm due to the chief of staff, the Marquis of Peron Carlisle stepped forward.

“It is as the chief of staff said. The results will soon appear before our eyes. So, if you don’t want to be called to the inspection department, watch your mouth. I’ll tell you in advance, but if the steel golems are in good health, today’s total offensive will also be…”

The moment he was about to say ‘no’, six steel golems appeared in front of him.

It seemed that the number of steel golems operated by the southern kingdom army was tailored to the nine guinea imperial army.

It meant nothing more than ridicule.

At that time, six Goliaths in the imperial camp ran towards the steel golem.

The steel golems also poured out as if to meet them.

Goliath and Steel Golem met in the middle of the camp between the Imperial Army and the Southern Kingdom Army.

As Marquis Carlisle’s subordinates said, it seemed like an adult and a child were fighting.

At first, both sides fought purely to see if they were curious about the opponent’s physical strength.

With that in mind, the magic engineers on both sides speculated that ‘Goliath and Steel Golem must have been doing it to measure the opponent’s skills’.

That was the most reasonable reasoning, since both Goliath and Iron Golem had selves.

The physical fight between Goliath and Steel Golem was over.

In the first place, there is no way the fight between adults and children will work out properly.

First, three steel golems folded the waists of three Goliaths with both hands.

Kwadeuk! Kwadeuk! Quadduk-!

‘Fuhaha!’ in the southern kingdom army camp Laughter broke out.

When everyone thought that the steel golem would crush Goliath, something happened.

A magic gun came out from the back of the hands of the Goliaths who felt threatened and spewed fire.

pop! pop! Pew-!

In an instant, a hole pierced the steel golem’s armor.

It’s surprising to think that the gloves were intact even after being hit by the magic cannon.

The armor of the three steel golems was punctured, and one of them stopped working and fell backwards.

This time, in the camp of the Imperial army, ‘Waaaa!’ A shout rang out.

It was only natural that Goliath destroyed the steel golem, which was intact even after being hit by the magic cannon.

Like golems with egos, both Goliath and steel golems were quick to judge.

The magic guns on the backs of the Goliaths aimed at the two-legged steel golem.

But it’s not just Goliath that has an ego.

From the eyes of the steel golems, a ray of red light called the ‘light of death’ stretched out.

Goliath’s arm brushed by the ‘light of death’ was separated from his torso.

Do-doo-duk-!

Before long, the steel golems approached the Goliaths and twisted their bodies with both hands.

Once again in the camp of the Southern Kingdom, ‘Waaaa!’ A shout broke out.

But the joy was short-lived.

Three hundred musketeers rushed forward from the imperial camp.

The Battalion unit moved.

The iron golems threw the scrap metal they were holding and turned to the Imperials.

At that moment, the Batalion’s musketeers fired their magic guns all at once.

Puff puff puff puff—!

Surprisingly, like when he was beaten by Goliath, the steel golem’s body was punched with holes.

The steel golems that had stood like pylons fell backwards like trees whose roots were cut off.

In the battle between humans and steel golems, humans finally won.

As the steel golems fell, Marquis Reid Kostak drew his longsword and shouted.

“attack! Leave no one alive!”

At his thunderous command, the Imperial Knights rushed forward.

Subsequently, the entire Imperial Army rushed towards the Southern Kingdom like a wave.

The moment the steel golems were defeated, the war was already decided.

The southern kingdom army couldn’t even resist properly and was pushed to Torres at once.

Like a lie, the tide of war has reversed.

The following day, the Imperial Army completely drove the southern kingdom army out of the Principality of Topla.

So the war went back to square one.

However, no one doubted the victory of the Empire, just the appearance.

***

The Abyss Wilderness.

Count Larva Omar, who was walking the mountain path in the lead, hesitated.

Fabian, who had taken a few steps ahead, quickly returned to him.

“What’s wrong?”

“Look at this.”

The finger of Count Omar of Larva pointed to the mountain path.

Fabian, not understanding what he meant, tilted his head.

“Are you telling me to look at the road?”

“Right. Didn’t you say you were on the road now? Isn’t it strange that the road is deep in the unexplored land where no one has ever entered?”

“uh? Is that so?”

Fabian surveyed the mountain path with keen eyes.

I thought it was a road run by animals, but after hearing Count Omar’s words, I’m suspicious.

Somehow it feels much better than that.

“Have you ever heard of people living in the outback?”

“It can’t be. Even a sword expert won’t be able to survive in a place like this.”

Fabian shook his head.

Wouldn’t it be unknown if it was Tameion’s demon? It would be difficult for people to live even a single day.
