Chapter 1032

Episode 1032. This is not a natural rift.

Baron Dennis Robin, feeling the attention of the people around him, said with a proud face.

“I don’t know. Wouldn’t you know whether the mages of the empire or the magus came when the airship comes down? The day will come when the Empire’s magic troops can be seen from the north... Is a chaotic world really about to come? By the way, Sir Elio, have you seen the Empire’s magic troops?”

Baron Dennis Robin turned his gaze to Elio.

I asked for confirmation because I had been through so many unexpected things.

Elio shook his head.

It’s the first time I’ve even heard the word magic corps, but I can’t believe I’ve seen it.

“no. I don’t even know what the Empire’s magic corps is.”

“Oh, I see.”

Baron Dennis Robin realized that he was of savage origin.

“Let me briefly explain for Sir Elio. Londinium is a country founded by humans who first settled on the continent of Rodina. After that, humans scattered all over the continent and built several cities. When the city developed and heard the kingdom, Londinium occupied the neighboring kingdoms and became an empire. The war between Londinium and the kingdoms is called the Imperial War. The saying, ‘If you see a magic corps, think a war has broken out’ was coined at that time.”

“Then is there a war going on in Hirhera?”

“well. Until then, I don’t even know. What would a front-line company commander like me know?”

Baron Dennis Robin shrugged.

I wanted to pretend to know more, but I couldn’t help it because there was no information.

***

A gigantic ship landed in an empty lot in the center of Hirhera’s Garrison of the Kingdom of Escatos.

Eventually, the lower part of the ship opened and touched the ground.

Soon after, 50 knights and 10 wizards got off the ship with the flag of the Magic Corps Knights at the fore.

Duke Escatos, who came out to meet the nobles of the garrison, stared at the Imperial Knights’ flag with complicated eyes.

Looking at the black crow drawn on it, it is the flag of the ‘Knights of Corvo’, which is infamous as the ‘Declarator of War’.

The name of the knights is also ‘Corvo’, which means ‘crow’ in ancient language.

The empire’s magic corps were using the black crows, which would have been suitable for a gang of vicious robbers.

Duke Escatos soon shook off his thoughts and went in front of the wizards.

At that moment, a young knight stood in his way.

“who are you?”

“Duke Stauros Escatos.”

Only then did the young knight silently step back.

Duke Escatos took a look at the knight and walked over to the wizards.

Duke Cillian Hale, the Magus of the 7th Circle, smiled and faced Duke Escatos.

“Duke Escatos, long time no see. Your face has gotten better.”

“How have you been?”

Since Magus Cillian Hale was older, Duke Escatos naturally used the honorific.

“I was doing well until I received a call from the Kingdom of Escatos. Is it true that there is a crack in the creator god’s skutum (shield)?”

Duke Escatos laughed.

Calling the ice wall ‘Skutum’ is a language custom unique to the imperials.

This is because, unlike northerners, they have never seen ice climbing in their lifetime, so they only think of them as objects of myths and legends.

“It would be quicker to see for yourself. And yesterday, even demonic cyclops appeared in the cracks.”

“You mean you didn’t summon a warlock, but came out on your own?”

“That’s right.”

“That is very strange.”

Duke Magus Killian Hale frowned.

No matter how cracked the ice wall was, the appearance of demons was unexpected.

Just as human cities are far from ice walls, demons were similar.

In other words, do you know if it is a monster or a monster? There was no reason for the demons to come to the ice wall in a remote place.

True to the magic of the 7th circle, the cracks were filled up shortly after.

The members of Alpha Company who were watching from the back shouted ‘Wow!’ and cheered.

They reacted violently as it was a matter directly related to their safety.

The faces of the nobles of the Escatos Kingdom also had smiles.

It was a time when nobles and soldiers were rejoicing at the thought of being freed from the dreaded ice hell.

There was a fine crack between the ice wall and the ‘Mega Ice Wall’, which were firmly attached like one body.

oh oh oh oh- tutuk-!

Soon after, the ‘mega ice wall’ was completely separated from the ice wall.

Whoosh— whoosh!

A cold wind blew in and out between the ice wall and the ‘mega ice wall’, making a sharp sound.

As time passed, the gap between the two ends widened.

Anyone can see that it will happen more in the future.

Magus Cillian Hale, who was staring at the gap, chanted the magic spell of ‘Mega Ice Wall’ once more.

Quad Deuk-!

The ice wall became thicker due to the successive circle 7 magic.

However, the ice wall opened again ‘too-tuk’ as if making fun of a person.

Prince Magus Cillian Hale, who had been shaking his head, turned around.

“I don’t think this is a matter of magic. It seems that Skutum rejects ice made from human mana.”

Otherwise, there was no way the ‘Mega Ice Wall’ would be separated from the ice wall in such severe cold.

Duke Escatos said with a confused face.

“Then what will happen now?”

“If someone intentionally created the rift... it won’t be long before what he’s after. Let’s go down.”

Duke of Magus Killian Hale left the ice wall without regret.

Duke Escatos hurriedly caught up with him.

“You said earlier that it wasn’t a natural crack, do you have anything to consider as evidence?”

“A faint stench of magic remained in the cracks. If the demon didn’t die in the rift, it must be a remnant of black magic.”

“okay. I have a secret story to tell about it.”

“Isn’t it a story that wizards in the magic corps shouldn’t hear?”

“After hearing my story, the Duke will agree with me.”

“Okay.”

When Duke Magus Killian Hale accepted, Duke Escatos escorted him to his barracks.

When Duke Magus Killian Hale sat down, Duke Escatos opened his mouth.

“Didn’t you find something strange about Hirhera?”

“I heard rumors. The people are blocked from entering Herhera in the kingdom. Looking down from the airship, I could understand why. Was it to hide the craters all over Hirhera?”

“you’re right. The first cracks were seen in Hirhera last November. In December of that year, 1,100 troops were dispatched from the three northern territories to repair the rift. Two months after repairs began, ‘Meteor Swarm’ fell on Hirhera. In that incident, 1,000 soldiers and 100 knights from the three territories were killed while repairing the rift. The only survivors were Count Codrantes and one soldier from the Territory Army.”

“Did you just say ‘Meteor Swarm’?”

Duke Magus Killian Hale looked at Duke Escatos with bewildered eyes.

This is because ‘Meteor Swarm’ is not a realm that human wizards can expand.

“Count Codrantes called it Meteor Swarm. The testimonies of the surviving soldiers of the Yeongji Army also matched.”

Magus Cillian Hale, the Duke of Hale, did not refute that the Sword Master did that.

“I thought that strange trace was part of a northern legend that has been handed down. But it happened a while ago... It’s really surprising.”

“The aura cultivator that Magus showed interest in in front of the ice wall a while ago is Ganodermaid, a survivor of the Meteor Swarm. Because of that, he fell in the eyes of Marquis Bernardo and became his vassal. Sooner or later, I will receive the title of baron at the royal palace.”

“I don’t think you are a sword beginner.”

“I’m looking at it as a sword expert, but I’m from a barbarian, so I’m adjusting the situation.”

Duke Escatos did not hide anything.

This is because it is something that can be easily figured out with the information power of the empire.
