Episode 1345. It was a special military operation by the corps commander
Even though the temperature in the south is warm throughout the year, dawn is cool.
In particular, when it is wet with dew, it is chilly and makes you shiver.
The chief of staff, Viscount Kurt Wartner, who had been squatting, stood up and moved lightly.
After moving my body for about 10 minutes, the discomfort went away.
The chief of staff, who had been dozing off, got up from his seat as if he couldn’t stand it any longer, and followed the chief of staff.
The morning sun rose as the two men were training for the strength of the knights of the Imperial Army.
The coolness until dawn is nowhere to be found, and soon the warm temperature unique to the south embraces the land.
Viscount Kurt Wartner, who was looking at his staff with an embarrassed face, sighed lightly.
“ha. It’s so good to live. Isn’t it?”
Until yesterday, Elio Lagoa was dead, but the situation was reversed in one day.
Now, rather, the Iron Legion is in a position to look at Elio Lagoa.
It was the first time I had experienced such a drastic change of position in one day.
“I mean.”
A bitter smile appeared on the staff’s face as well.
The Empire’s strongest steel legion would kneel down to a knight from the north.
Even though I was dipping my toes into that unbelievable scene, everything seemed like a dream.
It was breakfast time, but the two couldn’t leave their seats.
However, if Elio Lagoa goes out in the meantime, the efforts made all night will go to nothing.
Because they had been running all night, a growling sound came from their stomachs.
The two pretended not to hear the sound and stared at the door of the chalet (southern lodge).
White smoke billowed from the chimney of the chalet.
Soon, a savory yet sweet smell spread around the area.
The chief of staff and the chief of staff swallowed saliva in their mouths.
Even as a staff member, the basics are a knight who uses strength.
In addition, the two people who had been working since dawn felt insanely hungry.
However, the door to the chalet did not open.
Not wanting to offend Elio Lagoa by visiting without notice during breakfast, the two waited until the meal was over.
how much time has passed
A middle-aged woman with a well-built body opened the door of the chalet, which was firmly closed, and spoke with me.
“Please come in.”
The chief of staff, shocked, looked back at the staff with a face that said that something had come.
Eventually, the chief of staff stepped away with a determined face.
Once inside, the chief of staff approached Elio Lagoa, who was sitting by the window and drinking tea.
“I am Viscount Kurt Wartner, Chief of Staff of the Iron Legion.”
Elio raised his head and looked up at the chief of staff’s face.
“however?”
As expected, Elio Lagoa’s cold response led the chief of staff to the main point.
“The corps commander wants to cover the work of the Count and the Scorpion Company. In addition, the title that the Count would return was also unprecedented...”
“I don’t like it?”
“He said that if there were any special requirements, he would listen to them as well.”
“I thought a platoon of batalions would be able to handle me, but since that doesn’t work, are you saying you’re going to do something that didn’t exist?”
“That was not the will of the corps commander. An unexpected accident caused by the excessive loyalty of the company commander, Baron Pylos Harwood. Because of that, I went into the discipline inspection of the Battalion unit...”
“How long do I have to listen to such nonsense? Do I look like an idiot?”
“Believe me. The corps commander sincerely wants to improve his relationship with the Count.”
Viscount Kurt Wartner, chief of staff, quietly turned away.
“Didn’t you hear the rumors about me?”
‘match!’ With a sound, the chief of staff fell backwards.
The chief of staff could not get up from the spot where he was knocked down.
Elio asked the staff member who was standing there with a pale face.
“Are you going to say that it was the company commander’s arbitrary action?”
“...Oh no. It was a special military operation by the corps commander.”
The staff member who thought there were only two of them did not lie.
“Take it. tell the corps commander I’ll be looking for you in a few days, so wash your head and wait.”
“...yes.”
The staff left the chalet with the droopy chief of staff slung over his shoulder.

Northern Feromuros.
Iron Legion Command.
After the chief of staff’s report, the corps commander, Marquis Theo Stauran, gritted his teeth.
“So you dare to threaten to kill me, the commander of the Iron Legion?”
“Yes, he said he would come back in a few days.”
“crazy!”
Unable to hold back the rising anger, Marquis Theo Stauran jumped up from his seat.
But no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do right now.
The Marquis, realizing this belatedly, slumped back into his seat.
“Should I report it to His Highness, the Crown Prince?”
“Yes, but he... had no fear of His Highness the Crown Prince.”
It is said that reporting to the crown prince would not help in resolving the situation.
The Marquis, who had been listening breathlessly, asked.
“What do you think I can do in this situation?”
“We need to put batalion troops on the border and reinforce the musketeers and musketeers.”
“Bring musketeers and musketeers from the 34th Reserve Division in Jakunan (Ancient City in Northern Pheromuros) and the 35th Reserve Division in Harkit (Southern Pheromuros Trade City). Replenishment is up to you.”
“yes.”
“There was a magic artillery unit in Jakunan, right?”
“There is, but... the guards could get caught up in the magic cannon.”
“He is a mage. He must have used Blink to get out of the picture. At that time, even if something big exploded nearby, I wouldn’t be able to come to my senses.”
“But the shells hit our allies...”
“Do you think we can catch the Grand Master without sacrificing our allies?”
“no.”
“If you know, don’t ever say that again.”
“...yes.”
Viscount Kurt Wartner, chief of staff, nodded, his face swollen from being hit.
“Look out.”
“Yeah.... By the way, Eligo Lagoa said something strange.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Do you think the southern kingdom forces gathered in the Dnirov Kingdom and the Ureum Kingdom will just go back...”
“If we don’t just go back? If the warring parties sign a peace treaty, I have to go back. What am I supposed to do?”
“He spoke as if the southern kingdoms would do otherwise.”
“joy! What a northern country boy knows about cross-country affairs. Besides, you were stuck in the Abyss not too long ago. We know a lot more about the southern kingdoms than he does.”
“It is, but. The fact that his party went to Krasion also bothers me a little.”
“If there were any abnormal signs, the informants in Krasion would have informed us. There’s nothing to worry about yet. It’s a shallow ploy to pressure us.”
At those words, the chief of staff’s expression brightened a little.
If the informants planted in Krasion were silent, he could have ignored Elio Lagoa’s words.
