Chapter 1375

Episode 1375. Who threatened to kill you if you didn’t make the chief of staff?

fortnight ago.

After dinner, the Skull Corps staff couldn’t even rest and gathered in the operation conference room.

The chief of staff, Viscount Ikov Saiha, called out the staff members by name and made eye contact with each one.

“Baron Roving Byron, Baron Herbert Richell, Baron Sophia Orlova, Baron Sharon Glan.”

The staff members whose names were called greeted with nervous faces.

“I don’t think I need to explain the importance of the Dera Base again.”

At the words of the chief of staff, the staff nodded their heads.

The Dera Base is the foremost observation base located on the ‘Bloody Ridge’ facing the north gate of Feromuros.

The Dera base was also called the ‘Mootjari’ because the Imperial army moved the magic cannons out of the castle gate and entered the range of the magic cannons.

At that point, it would be right to give up the Dera base, but the Skull Corps couldn’t.

It was because there was no Dera base to observe the maneuvers of the Imperial Army with certainty.

Right now, the Imperial Army is crouching in Feromuros due to supply problems, but once they advance, it is certain that Krasion will be penetrated.

No matter how many people died, someone had to guard the Dera base.

It’s been almost two months since the imperial army was stuck in Pheromuros.

The Southern Kingdoms, who thought it was time to move again, requested more accurate information from the Skull Corps on the front line.

For that reason, it was a situation where the chief of staff announced that he would dispatch staff to the Dera base.

The chief of staff continued.

“It is true that the Dera Base is dangerous, but it is not as dangerous as rumors say. Those who live will live and those who will die will die. Isn’t it?”

“you’re right.”

The staff responded in one voice, but their voices were low.

The chief of staff didn’t like the atmosphere, but he didn’t say anything.

“We plan to move half of the command. The corps commander and I decided to call it ‘Operation Double Headed Serpent’.”

The faces of the staff hardened at the shocking remarks of the chief of staff. They said they were going to pick one person, but half of them are like that.

“As you know, the Dera base has been reinforced in the meantime, making it impervious to the magic cannons of the imperial army. So rest assured. Dera base now is as safe as Servo’s headquarters.”

Still, the staff members’ expressions did not ease.

“In the beginning of the Great Counterattack, our Skull Corps’ mission was to ‘break through the enemy’, but now it has changed to ‘observe the enemy’s movements and find out what their purpose is’. That’s why I split my head in two.”

The staff secretly let out a sigh.

The Imperial Army’s power is overwhelming, so it’s not that they can’t understand the mission, but it’s because the Dera Base was terrifying to think about.

“I will divide the command by drawing lots equally.”

However, Operation Two-Headed Warrior ended in failure.

This is because the Dera base command couldn’t upload a single report and all of them died in battle.

and now.

Viscount Ikov Sayha was a little taken aback by the unexpected request for a memorial address by Count Omar of Larva.

If the opponent’s title was lower than his own, he would have refused with various excuses.

However, it was difficult to refuse the extremely natural request of the great noble count.

‘ha! I can’t help it.’

Viscount Ikoff Sayha bowed to Count Omar and slowly turned around.

And with an effortless expression on his face, he opened his mouth.

“Baron Sofia Orlova was a talented enough person to be awarded a title for her abilities.”

Baron Sofia Orlova was easily fooled by the trick of drawing lots.

Because of his long relationship with himself, he did not doubt the outcome.

“Baron Sophia was loyal to His Highness the King above, and cared for Yeongjimin as if she were her own body below.”

That’s true.

So when I heard that she had to be scrapped, I vehemently objected.

“The Baron was a wise and passionate man. So, none of the Legion staff hated Baron Sophia.”

It is not only Viscount Dario Farum who wants her.

Elio, for Fabian’s sake, didn’t want to question him further.

At that time, Count Larva Omar’s mouth opened slowly.

“Viscount Saiha. Are you feeling guilty about the death of Baron Sophia?”

“Sin Guilt. It’s not like that. Of course, as the planner of the two-headed operation, I feel responsible for the failure of the operation, but I am absolutely not guilty.”

A military secret burst out of the mouth of the bewildered Viscount Ikov Sayha.

“Operation Duplex? Is this an operation related to the warriors of Baron Sophia?”

“...That’s right.”

“Let me explain.”

“I’m sorry, but it’s a military secret, so I can’t tell anyone outside.”

“If it’s not yet implemented, I’ll follow your words, but it’s different if the operation has already failed. Only we know, so tell us.”

“sorry. It is a military secret.”

Viscount Ikov Sayha endured.

Because if you say that, it’s clear that you will be more suspicious.

Then Count Omar turned to Count Elio Lagoa.

“Seeing how desperately they cover up an operation that has already failed, it is increasingly suspicious. There seems to be a problem with Baron Sophia’s warrior.”

In an instant, Elio’s eyes turned cold.

He also has a point of view.

I thought it was Baron Sophia’s affair, but somehow it doesn’t seem like it.

As the atmosphere became strange, Viscount Ikov Sayha hurriedly made an excuse.

“no. It’s just that I couldn’t tell you because it’s a military secret. It has no other meaning. Trust me. I can swear on the honor of a knight.”

But no one listened to his oath.

Elio said in a nonchalant tone.

“I command you in the name of the southern sky pond (Yeonnamcheon), the son of the empty field (Gong Yaja) and the disciple of the ageless Pureum (Cheongbulno), so please answer honestly. What is Operation Double Headed?”

“I’m sorry, but even if you say that, it’s a military secret... Operation Double Headed is an operation that splits the Skull Corps command into two. Divided into two, one was placed at the forefront of Dera Base and the other at Division Headquarters. omg! Why is my mouth so crazy? don’t do this Leaking military secrets is a felony.”

“Why did you split it in two?”

“Ugh! Ugh! I won’t tell you! There has been a request to accurately analyze the activities of the Imperial Army. stop! stop! And besides that superficial purpose... Stop it! According to the Kingdom of Adria law, the Count... there was an order from the superiors to remove Baron Sofia Orlova.”

“....”

At the unexpected words, Elio asked, ‘What is this?’ I just wanted to keep my eyes open.

Either that or not, Viscount Ikov Sayha’s mouth continued to speak the truth.

“So I sent Baron Sofia Orlova and part of the command team to Dera Base.”

Having said that, Viscount Ikov Sayha closed his eyes tightly with a resigned face.

Fabian, who had been listening with gritted teeth, asked.

“Why is that? Didn’t you use Baron Sophia to lure me into Adria? As you planned, Baron Sophia even had my child, so why did you think of killing her!”

“The corps commander said that the Prime Minister, His Excellency Marquis Carloman Blas, secretly gave such an order. I asked the corps commander why, but the corps commander said he didn’t know.”

Elio, who came to his senses belatedly, gritted his teeth and said.

“I live and live and see all the different cases. Saiha! you son of a bitch! Do you do that when you know that Baron Sophia is pregnant with Baron Cloud’s child? Aren’t you afraid of the consequences?”

As he said this, Elio thought to himself, ‘Did I look like such an idiot?’ I blamed myself.

Then, Viscount Ikov Saiha hurriedly folded his back.

“Forgive me! The messenger sent by the chancellor told the corps commander... Baron Cloud was about to marry an Imperial woman, and Baron Sophia was an abandoned woman, so no one would care... wouldn’t have As a soldier, I am only following orders from my superiors.”

“I fell asleep after saying something like the name of my superior. You won’t die if your boss tells you to die, right?”

“...Forgive me!”

Elio said, glancing at Viscount Ikov Saiha.

“Bastards like you are worse. If your superior gives you an order that is wrong, you must reject it. I pick and swallow according to my taste, and if something goes wrong, it’s all the boss’s fault! Because there are guys like you, even the top heads give crazy orders!”

“How could the chief of staff disobey the command of the corps commander? Please consider the circumstances of the subordinates who have no choice but to obey.”

“what? can’t you refuse lower-class circumstances? Rather than follow such an order, beat the chief of staff and go out and work as a mercenary! Who threatened to kill you if you didn’t make the chief of staff? what the fuck is this You are incorrigible.”

Enraged, Elio snapped his fingers.

With a bang, a hole was punched through Viscount Ikov Saiha’s forehead.

Elio, who seemed to be outraged even then, strode toward the Skull Corps headquarters.
