Chapter 1356
Episode 1356. If you think about it, isn’t it wrong?
Elio looked at the city beyond the collapsed wall with a devastated face.
It’s more destructive than any battlefield you’ve ever been through.
Kuju also experienced a large-scale war, but this was on a different level.
Buildings were shattered or collapsed by the rain of magic bullets.
Of course, I have passed through the front line a few times in another world.
Even then, I saw destroyed buildings in the village, but not to this extent.
The imperial army that occupied the city also fired magic cannons, but they were no match for the quantity.
The magic cannons fired gradually decreased and then disappeared.
However, the magic cannonballs falling towards the city did not decrease.
bang! bang! bang! bang! Quaang-!
Around the building where Elio was, magic bullets fell nonstop.
Every time the shrapnel flew, Elio’s body reflexively acted in self-defence.
Thanks to that, Fabian didn’t have to run around like the others.
The bowl of noodles Fabian was holding was set down on the table.
I was still hungry, but I couldn’t eat because the stone powder was piled up.
“It looks like the Southern Kingdom’s counterattack has begun.”
“It is terrible. Wouldn’t the imperial army have poured this into Feromuros as well?”
“It would have been more smashed there.”
The Imperial forces rushed into the streets and retreated in disorder to the north.
Rather than retreat, the expression ‘run away without looking back’ is more accurate.
Magical cannonballs fell nonstop on the fleeing imperial army.
The imperial army left the city leaving countless corpses behind.
After a while, the gunfire stopped like a lie.
And the Confederate Army in different outfits entered the city.
Seeing the Confederate forces coming in in an orderly manner, Elio muttered involuntarily.
“The southern kingdom is also strong.”
“After losing in the Imperial War, they say he sharpened his sword for revenge. If it wasn’t for Excitium, I wouldn’t have been pushed back by the Empire.”
“There will be a big fight in Feromuros now, right?”
“I will. Aren’t you curious what the new weapon will be against the excitium?”
“Will you teach me to ask?”
“Sir Lagoa is the best knight in the kingdom, so you never know. Aren’t our northern and southern kingdoms allies?”
“Shall I stab you? We have to investigate the new weapon makers and sellers anyway.”
“I will teach you.”
Fabian believed that the Confederate Army of the Southern Kingdoms would openly disclose information.
Wouldn’t it be known if it was before the counterattack?
In the yard where the great counterattack had already begun, what could there be to do but hide it?
The first thing the southern kingdom army did was to collect and burn the corpses scattered on the streets.
Considering the heat in the South, it was natural.
In the middle of the night, smoke billowed from all over the city.
More than a human being, we must sleep.
Some soldiers of the Southern Kingdom army set up barracks throughout the clearing, and commanders searched for available accommodations.
A group of knights approached the place where Elio and Fabian were.
Platoon leader Casper Hold, who was at the head of the knights, took a blatant glance at the two young men.
He looked like a mercenary or adventurer because he did not run away after seeing the southern kingdom army during this war.
Wouldn’t it be normal?
In wartime, mercenaries and adventurers are treated slightly better than villagers.
Of course, if you run out of rooms at T-pop (a lodging in the south), you can kick them out.
Surprisingly, even in front of the knights of the Southern Kingdom, the expression on his face does not change?
‘Is this a lot of room?’
Casper Hold could only think so.
I couldn’t be that calm in the situation that I would be kicked out soon.
After a while, a middle-aged man ran out from inside the building.
He rolled his eyes and looked only at the southern kingdom’s eyes.
Casper Hold said to the owner of T-pop.
“I am Casper Hold, a knight of the Reaper Unit of the Southern Kingdom Army. We need five rooms for the company commander, Baron Evan Lore, and his second lieutenants.”
“There are five rooms that can be used in our T-pop… but one has already been given to the adventurers over there…”
The owner of the T-pop blurted out.
He had to maintain a good relationship with the adventurers, so he quietly withdrew.
This was because vengeful adventurers could come later and start a fight.
Casper Hold immediately turned around as if he knew that.
“I don’t know where the adventurers are, but you know what the situation is, right? It looks like the meal is over, but if you have any luggage, pack them up and leave.”
At Casper Hold’s words, Fabian glanced at Count Helio Lagoa.
Because he is the one who decides whether to leave or stay.
Elio will surely punish anyone who touches him, but he is not the first to start a fight.
Besides, having served as a company commander in Hirhera, I know the hardships of a lower level commander.
For that reason, he got up without saying a word.
It was because it was right for him to make concessions considering the fatigue caused by the war.
Fabiando immediately stood up when Count Elio Lagoa stood up.
He was also a company commander in the northern kingdom’s territory, and had no objection to giving up his room to the commanders of his allies, the southern kingdom.
The owner of T-pop apologized to Elio and Fabian while bowing his head.
Elio and Fabian smiled and said ‘It’s okay’ and turned around.
How nice it would have been if the ending had been heartwarming.
There are people in the world who are weak and weak.
That was the case with Bernard Hurt, the company commander’s adjutant and flag bearer.
He was dissatisfied with the fact that young adventurers received the owner’s apology.
If those adventurers had a strong backing, would they have resigned like this?
Thousands of words
‘They’re playing as if they were anything but nonsense.’
On the other hand, it was the same as if the owner was trying to feed the commanders with water.
If it wasn’t for that, there was no reason to cringe like that, “I’m sorry.”
Only then did it seem that the commanders robbed others.
So he gathered his uncomfortable heart and spat it out.
“Let’s sell, good friends. Someone is sweating blood on the battlefield while traveling leisurely.”
When Elio, who was in front of him, stopped, Fabian looked back.
Then Bernard Hurt laughed and said,
“Young friend. Be careful on the road at night. We know chivalry, so we just let them go, but not all soldiers are like us. Whoops.”
Fabian looked around at the other knights.
They just sat and watched as if it was nothing special.
“Are you cursing the people who gave you the room?”
“It’s not an insult, it’s advice. I can’t use it if the personality of a young person is so sensitive. The party is waiting for you. Go ahead. Whoa!”
Even the final gesture of expelling something, this is an obvious mockery for anyone to see.
Then Geary Elio turned around.
His gaze was not on Bernard Hurt, but on the other commanders.
After a while, Elio’s mouth opened.
“Are you of the same opinion as that article?”
At Elio’s provocative tone, the company commander, Baron Evan Lore, frowned.
Of course, Bernard Hurt acted like an idiot, but even so, the adventurer’s reaction was excessive.
Such a cheeky attitude in front of the commanders of the Army of the Southern Kingdom in wartime?
He checked the adventurers’ whereabouts just in case.
He wore a gambison (quilted armor), which was rare in the South, and he was groggy at how poorly he looked after it.
I can’t put my mind at ease
Occasionally, among the great nobility, there are strange species wandering around like that.
“Are you a noble from the southern kingdom?”
This was a question to be sure.
Elio answered the obvious question.
“I have never been paid in the Southern Kingdom. So what is the answer to my question?”
Then Baron Evan Lore squinted his eyes.
I don’t know what a mere adventurer who wasn’t even a great noble could trust and be so stiff.
Baron Evan Lore, slightly annoyed, sided with his lieutenant, Bernard Hurt.
“It’s because I’m tired from a long battle, so you understand. If you think about it, isn’t it wrong? What did you guys do when we fought the Imperial Army?”
“Has anyone pushed you to fight the Imperial Army? Or did the Imperials attack the Iron Golem? isn’t it? Didn’t some southern kingdoms around the Great Grove greedily try to monopolize the Iron Golem, and eventually even broke out at war? What did you guys do when we fight? I came out after exploring the Abyss. why? do you have a problem?”
Hearing Elio’s words, the company commander, Baron Evan Rohr, put on a dazed expression for a moment.
It is true that the southern kingdom provided the cause of the war.
But to dare to speak so boldly in front of the southern kingdom forces!
When the company commander blinked at the answer that hit his bones, Bernard Hurt shouted out loud.
“To put the blame for the war caused by the Empire on the Southern Kingdom! This is plain treason! Who the hell are you! Please state where you are from and your name!”
Elio looked at the ruthless knight with a stunned face.
Even the voice of treason came out of the southern kingdom army, so it was wrong to leave quietly.
“No, the staff of the Imperial Army said the same thing, but why do you keep saying that you are treasonous to me, a northern knight? Fabian, tell me who I am.”
Then Fabian greeted Count Helio Lagoa in a noble manner and then said,
“Since you are curious about where you are from and your name, let me introduce you. Guardian of the Skutum (Ice Wall) that protects the continent! The legitimate ruler of the Northern Slash Land and the Duchy of Lorraine, Latinus! A Grand Master standing shoulder to shoulder with Archduke Kaiser Knauf, the son of the sword! A great adventurer who uncovered the mysteries of the sky and the abyss! This is Count Elio Lagoa!”
“….”
For a moment, T-pop was filled with silence.
The company commander and second lieutenant of the envoy unit looked at the two young adventurers with anxious faces.
Fabian looked straight at Bernard Hurt and said.
“And I am not a young friend, but Baron Fabian Cloud of the Escatos Kingdom. If the South is an ally of the North, be polite.”
Only then did the company commander and second lieutenant stand up from their seats.
In any case, it would be a big disrespect if the real adventurer was Earl Elio Lagoa.
Soon after, the company commander raised a courtesy to Count Elio Lagoa.
“Your Excellency Count. I did not know you and committed a great offense. Please forgive me.”
Elio stared at the southern kingdom army commanders with indifferent eyes.
He said he would give up the title of Imperial Count, but since the Emperor’s reign hadn’t fallen yet, he didn’t particularly correct the title.
“I didn’t know who I was, so there’s nothing to be disrespectful about. I’m a knight from the north, no matter what the south says, it’s not treason. Do you know what that means?”
Elio, who was not happy with the Southern Kingdom’s attitude, immediately resigned.
“yes? yes!”
“And by the way, let me say a word. Someone said just a moment ago, ‘We won’t send troops from other southern kingdoms, so be careful at night.’”
“That’s the nonsense of a madman who usually just says anything.”
“You said you weren’t wrong about that nonsense.”
“…Forgive me.”
The company commander lowered his head.
I supported that stupid bastard out of repulsion, so I had nothing to say even with ten mouths.
“Anyway, what I want to say is this. All those who are after me will be sent here, so you don’t have to worry.”
Elio pointed to the ground with his finger.
“Yes yes.”
The company commander, who had been cringing, apologized several times before leaving T-pop.
Elio didn’t bother to catch him.
It was because it was ridiculous to give up the room to them when their identity was revealed.
the next morning.
The southern kingdom army commanders who occupied the small city of Servo visited T-pop.
