Episode 1338. Have you seen such a dog-like case?
The command center of the Corvo Magic Corps fell into silence.
Duke Cillian Hale’s gaze turned to Count Elio Lagoa.
The transfer of the Grand Master is a major event unprecedented in human history.
‘The empire doesn’t have a base for Count Lagoa, so they’re trying to tame it.’
If the opponent was Archduke Kaiser Knauf, he could have quietly covered it.
When I thought so, I suddenly felt bad.
The friendship between himself and Count Elio Lagoa was famous even in the Empire.
Nevertheless, the mention of ‘reporting’ means that his existence is only that much to the Crown Prince and Marquis Theo Stauran.
The fact that the seat of the Corvo Magic Corps was taken away by the Steel Legion and the unpleasant feelings pushed up from the bottom.
Duke Cillian Hale, who could not stand it in the end, opened his mouth.
“I believe the testimony of Count Lagoa. That’s why I think what the intelligence department is doing is wrong. From now on, don’t think of involving me in Count Lagoa’s affairs. say it clearly The enemy of the Corvo Magic Corps is the Southern Kingdom, not Count Lagoa.”
However, Count Cal Bamut was rather relieved by those words.
It was because Duke Cillian Hale said he would not get involved in Count Lagoa’s problems.
There was a strong opponent, but there was no one who didn’t like it.
He made sure to drive the nail in so that Duke Cillian Hale would not change his mind.
“I will respect the words of His Excellency, Duke Cillian Hale, that I will not be involved in this matter. I will report the same to His Highness the Crown Prince.”
Words are ‘ah’ different and ‘uh’ different.
Count Carl Bamut turned the words of Duke Cillian Hale, who said, ‘I will not fight for the crown prince,’ in their favor.
Duke Cillian Hale also knew the intention hidden in the words, but did not bother to point it out.
It’s because the result was the same regardless of overturning.
In addition, continuing confrontation with the Crown Prince’s side was not good for the Corvo Magic Corps, so they had to step back at this point.
A happy smile appeared on the face of Count Carl Bamut, who removed the Corvo Magic Corps from Elio Lagoa with a few words.
Count Helio Lagoa was now completely isolated from the Empire.
By the time the northern kingdoms learn about Count Elio Lagoa, everything will be arranged according to the prince’s liking.
Count Carl Bamut turned his head to Count Elio Lagoa.
‘Now Count Lagoa. What am I going to do now?’
I don’t know why, but the crown prince is behind this incident.
If Count Elio Lagoa bows his head to the Crown Prince, he will be reborn as the Crown Prince’s right-hand man, but if he resists, he will surely be purged in the chaos of war.
But what is this?
Count Helio Lagoa is a face that listens to other people’s stories.
‘Don’t you know that there is a Battalion unit armed with Excitium in the Steel Legion?’
If you don’t know, it can be.
“What do you think, Count Lagoa?”
Elio asked back at Count Carl Bamut’s words.
“What?”
“As I just said.... I came with an order to send Count Lagoa to the Special Investigation Headquarters of the Ministry of Information if he admits to the charges. Would you like to go with us to the Special Investigation Headquarters?”
“I’m busy and don’t have time to go.”
“Are you denying the Imperial Army Intelligence’s legitimate law enforcement?”
Count Carl Bamut’s head went white with such a shock.
Other intelligence staff who accompanied him also panicked.
No matter how grand master you are, you hit the cheek of a count belonging to the Imperial Army intelligence department until it bleeds?
It was an act that even the emperor of the empire would not do.
The same goes for Duke Cillian Hale, who is surprised by his unimaginable actions.
He thought it was because Count Elio Lagoa did not yet know the power of the Iron Legion.
“Sir Lagoa. Calm down. The fact that the Corvo Magic Corps was pushed back by the Steel Legion...”
“I know. Didn’t the Battalion unit arm themselves with excitium?”
“I knew. The strength of the Steel Corps is stronger than the Corvo Magic Corps. Even if Lord Lagoa is the Grand Master, we must not disrespect the Marquis of Staurun.”
“I don’t belittle it.”
If that was the case, he wouldn’t have met with the Imperial Army intelligence from the beginning.
“Recently, I heard that the musketeers of the Batalion unit are being replaced with musketeers. That’s probably why the Imperial Army intelligence department is taking a hard line.”
Count Carl Bamut, who barely came to his senses, gritted his teeth and said.
“The Special Investigation Headquarters of the Imperial Army Intelligence is set up in the Iron Legion. Do you think the Marquis of Stauran will just let go of today’s affairs?”
Then Elio raised his hand again.
In an instant, Count Karl Bamut shrugged his shoulders and pulled himself back.
“What if I don’t pass it? what? They say they’re going to catch me with the batalion unit? So do you think I’ll be caught obediently? What kind of sick am I?”
“Are you thinking of rebelling against the Empire!”
“I gave up the title of count a while ago, but where did you say treason? As soon as I kill the imperial army, I become a war hero. The alliance between the Southern Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom will become stronger. If I kill all the batalion troops, how will the battle situation change? Do you think the northern kingdoms will just watch as they do now when I fight the Imperial Army? I am the lord of the Northern Kingdom of Escatos. You bastard!”
“A war hero? Before that, you will be killed by the Batalion troops!”
“Hey, what about Carl, Count?”
“This is Cal Bamut!”
“Yes, Carl, Countess. Did you forget that I am a magic swordsman? I am not a knight who can only wield a sword.”
“Even high-ranking mages cannot stop Excitium!”
“know. who’s stopping you? What if I run around and kill the Batalion troops? I can even kill the Marquis of Staurun and the proud crown prince. If I did, how would you stop it?”
Count Carl Bamut then shouted at Duke Cillian Hale.
“Your Excellency the Duke! Are you going to just listen to the blasphemous remarks of Count Lagoa!”
“Didn’t I clarify my position earlier? Take care of things about Count Lagoa on your own.”
“You can figure it out on your own! Didn’t His Excellency the Duke just heard the Count of Lagoa say, ‘I’m going to kill His Highness the Crown Prince’!”
“Kyung is misunderstanding something. I’m just a Magus (7th Circle Mage). What do you want from an old Magus like me?”
“Grunt!”
A pained sound flowed from Count Carl Bamut’s mouth.
That’s not wrong.
The only thing the Grand Master could do now was the Battalion unit.
Count Carl Bamut, who was shaking with clenched fists, jumped out of his seat.
“I listened to the answers of Duke Cillian Hale and Count Lagoa. I will report that ‘The Count of Lagoa acknowledged the charges, but refused to comply with the pressure.’”
Then Elio spoke calmly.
“That’s not all. Don’t forget to tell the Marquis of Stauran and the crown prince what I said.”
“All right.”
Count Carl Bamut bowed his head to Duke Cillian Hale and left immediately.
