Chapter 1086

Episode 1086. It is said that such things are ‘refined’.

In fact, in the case of the sword masters, they regretted escaping Glaches Fortress without fighting the demons.

In private, they lamented, ‘If I had known that the war would end only by getting rid of my lord Moloch, I would not have escaped’.

But there are no assumptions in history.

The sword masters escaped with the nobles, and all the glory went to Baron Elio Lagoa.

What happened in Hirhera would soon spread throughout the continent, and as Baron Elia Lagoa’s reputation increased, the sword masters would lose their face.

To make up for that, sword masters have to show something.

So the sword masters feared the invasion of the demons, but hoped for an opportunity to fight the demon lord.

The words of Duke Iskra Raminof, ‘Maybe we can protect Hirhera with the power of the northern kingdom’, represented the feelings of such sword masters.

After the meeting, the nobles left the central hall.

Duke Iskra Raminof approached Duke Escatos, who was still there.

“Peacock. Let’s ask one question.”

“What is it?”

“Baron Elio Lagoa. What is your true identity?”

Then Duke Escatos glanced at Duke Iskra Raminov.

“Don’t you already know about that?”

“Isn’t that what I’m saying because I don’t think that’s all there is to it? Baron Elio Lagoa single-handedly defended Graches Fortress, which was abandoned by the combined forces of our three realms. Do you think that is possible, Duke?”

“Are you denying that the results came out like that?”

“I am not denying it. I say this because it is so different from what Baron Elio Lagoa is known for.”

“It’s not that different.”

“Not much different? Which parts do you think are similar?”

“He defeated Count Codrantes. Can’t you tell by just looking at him that he’s not an ordinary sword master?”

“....”

Duke Iskra Raminof chewed on the words, ‘I’m not an ordinary sword master’.

The word ‘ordinary’ doesn’t suit a sword master.

But when I think of Baron Elio Lagoa, I don’t think there’s a more appropriate expression than that.

He didn’t want to admit it, but he had something special about him that made other sword masters mediocre.

The voice of Duke Escatos was heard in the ears of Duke Iskra Raminov, who was lost in thought.

“Anyway, I’m separately looking into Baron Helio Lagoa. If there is any outstanding information, I will inform the duke.”

“Are you sure it has nothing to do with black magic?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. The Empire and court mages have confirmed it several times.”

“I’m glad. If a man like Baron Helio Lagoa had anything to do with the Warlock... it would have been a disaster in the North.”

“He is rather a person who is incompatible with black magic. His aura is as clear and transparent as mana. If there’s even one point of magic mixed in, it’ll show right away.”

“I think so too, but I asked because I lacked understanding of black magic. Maybe there’s a trick I don’t know about.”

“No amount of black magic can fool the source. Spraying perfume on rotten meat doesn’t make the stench go away.”

Duke Iskra Raminov, who was shaking his head, asked as if he were floating.

“okay. Are you thinking of other possibilities, Duke?”

“You mean another possibility?”

“It means that I received a special blessing from the Creator.”

“It’s a special blessing... The quality and quantity of the aura that Baron Elio Lagoa possessed exceeded the human category.”

Duke Escatos neither affirmed nor denied.

Then said Duke Iskra Raminov.

“Wouldn’t you be able to understand that part with the priest’s help? How about calling the priest of the Escatos Kingdom?”

After thinking for a moment, Duke Escatos nodded.

“That’s a good idea. I will arrange a meeting with the priest and Baron Elio Lagoa.”

Duke Escatos thought, ‘It would be okay to verify the aura of Baron Elio Lagoa once more through the priest’.

He strongly told Duke Iskra Raminof, ‘Don’t worry’, but it was because Baron Elio Lagoa’s achievements were so outstanding that he was secretly uneasy.

The day after the banquet.

“well. If we treat the victory of Glaches Fortress and the success of Hirhera recovery operation equally... isn’t it a big loss for us?”

“You mean to be so shameless?”

“Does the company commander say that even after seeing the nobles secretly escaping from Glaches Fortress?”

“...”

Elio couldn’t resist and kept his mouth shut.

I don’t know why humans are so crude in any world.

Around the time the sun began to set, the Escatos Kingdom army finally arrived at Hirhera.

However, the Baylum and Raminof kingdom forces did not come to Hirehera.

It was because the speed of the Escatos Kingdom army, which had been marching all day long without a big fight, was the fastest.

The Escatos Kingdom Army sent Alpha Company and Rufus Company to the entrance of the rift and began to maintain the garrison.

The third day after leaving Glaches Fortress.

The Baylem and Raminof kingdom forces joined the Hirhera Garrison.

The Royal Army of Baylam and Raminof were soaked with blood and sweat, perhaps after a fierce battle.

Like the Kingdom of Eskatos, the Royal Army of Baylem and Raminov also reorganized their garrisons.

The Hirhera Garrison gradually returned to the state before being invaded by the demons.

Rift Watch Outpost.

Fabian, who was watching the rear, spoke to Elio.

“The Goliath company is coming. I don’t know if the Baylum and Raminof kingdom troops have come to the Hirhera garrison.”

“You will come. If you ask the Goliath company commander, you will know.”

After a while, the Goliath company commander raised a courtesy to Baron Elio Lagoa.

Elio was greeted with a puzzled expression.

I don’t know why the same company commanders do that, but I couldn’t help but say hello first.

Goliath’s company passed Rufus’ company.

I’m going to change with Alpha Company.

Fabian, who quickly caught up to the rear, grabbed one of the knights and asked.

“How is the situation at the garrison?”

“It is normalizing.”

The knight of the Goliath company responded politely, knowing that Fabian was a sword beginner.

“Are Baylum and Raminof here?”

“yes. In three days, the rift monitoring mission will be transferred to Baylem.”

“As before, the three kingdoms took turns taking charge.”

“you’re right. It’s just that the date has moved forward a bit. A lot of troops to be put into the rift evaporated.”

“i get it. Good job.”

The knight of the Goliath Company respectfully bowed his head to Fabian.

It’s something that hasn’t happened before.

In the past, Goliath Company belonged to Count Putokoa, so they had no contact with Rufus Company.

The reason they changed like that was because they overcame the crisis of life and death together in Glaches Fortress.

After returning to Rufus Company, Fabian delivered the words of the Goliath Company Knight to Elio Company Captain.

“The kingdoms of Baylem and Raminof have joined the garrison. I decided to take turns monitoring the rift as before.”

“okay? I’m glad. I thought we might take over.”

“Why do we take it on?”

“Because the loss of the Escatos Kingdom is the least. You could end up saying you couldn’t do it in the Kingdom of Baylem and Raminov.”

“Does that make you feel a bit cheap?”

“why? I heard you decided to take turns.”

“What would Count Putokoa know? These are the kids who are bullied in the Allied Forces.”

“Have you been bullied?”

“Did you not know? From Glaches Fortress, Count Putokoa is being treated like an idiot. You dared to touch Hirhera’s guardian, the company commander. Oh, we shouldn’t take it...”

“That’s not true. Trust me.”

Contrary to what he said, Elio, who was comforting Fabian, also had a worried expression.
