Episode 1381. His Excellency, Earl
of Lagoa, please lead the northern kingdom forces.
“Viscount.”
For Fabian, the baron of the Kingdom of Escatos, the court mage, Viscount Osborne Carlos, was a very difficult person.
Viscount Osborne Carlos nodded at Fabian, then met eyes with Count Helio Lagoa again.
Elio also got up from his seat.
Considering his long relationship with Viscount Osborne Carlos, it was natural.
“long time no see. I’ve been fine. Have a seat.”
At Elio’s words, Fabian sneaked aside and gave up his seat.
Eventually, Viscount Osborne Carlos sat down and asked Elio curiously.
“How is Hirhera’s situation? Since I am in the Empire, I can’t find out from the northern news.”
“The ice wall has been completely restored. So most of the soldiers in the Hirhera Garrison returned to their territory. Now, only one company remains to watch over the garrison. The soldiers are gone, so only the merchants in the garrison village are going crazy.”
“Ah... that’s how it ended up.”
Elio shook his head.
I knew that the Hirhera Garrison would decline at any moment.
A city was suddenly created as Gnostic soldiers gathered because of the rift, but honestly, it’s not a place for a person named Hirhe to live.
As the rift disappeared, the army of the Northern Kingdom returned, so the city would soon fall.
It is an unbelievable reality that a city develops only when a crisis comes.
Suddenly, Viscount Osborne Carlos turned to Baron Fabian Cloud.
“Oh and Baron Cloud. Do you remember Sir Sera?”
“yes?”
“Sir Sarah Lore, Musketeer of the Phantom Knights.”
“Yes, of course I remember.”
Then Osborne Carlos continued with a meaningful face.
“When the baron was discharged, he was sent down to the territory, but he returned to the Phantom Knights not too long ago.”
“....”
“Aren’t you curious about the reason?”
“Why did you go back?”
“They say they returned because they couldn’t reach the baron. You seem to be out of touch with the baron in the estate? That’s not wrong. Because you can come to the palace and deliver the news through me. get it It is a letter from her.”
Viscount Osborne Carlos took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Fabian.
Fabian received the letter with an embarrassed face.
Seeing Fabian like that, Viscount Osborne Carlos said with a confused face.
“Sir Sera is said to be in love with the baron. If it was Lord Sera’s one-sided courtship, I must have done something funny in the middle.”
At the overly self-deprecating words, Elio glanced at Viscount Osborne Carlos.
Entrusting the letter to the court mage would have made them very close.
If that was the case, it was clear that those words were turning Fabian’s attitude around and rebuking him.
Elio took the place of Fabian, who was at a loss.
“It’s true that the two of you dated when you were in Hirhera. I saw everything from the side.”
“I’m glad then. I was just regretting that I had done something wrong.”
Viscount Osborne Carlos, the court mage, trembled.
In the end, Elio shredded the truth.
“Baron Fabian is a bit cheating. Everywhere I go, I see only beautiful women, and I giggle. She said that it was okay because Lord Sera would have forgotten her.”
“Oops. Sir Sera is not that kind of person... what is this?”
The gazes of Elio and Viscount Osborne Carlos turned to Fabian.
Fabian’s mouth, which had been tightly shut like a clam, finally opened.
Elio narrowed his eyes.
If the Southern Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom enter the war, war will sweep the entire continent.
It is nothing compared to the conflict between the Empire and the Southern Kingdom.
There will be total chaos.
“If the southern kingdom perishes, then it will be the turn of the northern kingdom. The Northern Kingdoms concluded that ‘If war cannot be avoided, it is right to do so now that the Imperial Army’s power is scattered.’”
“Have you already made up your mind?”
“That’s right. So, I have come to request that Your Excellency Count lead the Northern Kingdom forces.”
“No... I’ve been patient until now, but why...”
Elio’s heart was heavy.
It’s not that I don’t know the position of the Northern Kingdom, but it’s still a sudden war!
“If you don’t know the purpose of the empire, don’t you? You can’t be foolish enough to wait for your turn, knowingly, can you?”
Elio couldn’t resist.
It was a sudden thing, but from the point of view of the northern kingdoms, it could have been enough.
It would be an idiot to remain silent when he said he would get rid of the royal family and rule the empire.
“For the future of the Kingdom of Escatos and the Northern Kingdom, Count Lagoa, please lead the Northern Kingdom Army.”
Court wizard Osborne Carlos looked at Count Helio Lagoa with burning eyes.
The reason he came down to Jedo was to convey these words.
After thinking for a while, Elio said.
“I see what you mean... I cannot get involved in this war.”
“May I ask why?”
“You know that I’ve been chasing the people behind the rift all this time, right?”
“yes.”
“While chasing behind the rift, I learned something. The rift and the current war were fought for one purpose.”
“A purpose?”
“There is an entity that wants to throw this world into chaos. This is how the rifts and wars were created.”
“Who is that being? What do you get by throwing this world into chaos?”
“I am Shaitin, the evil god. I am trying to return this world to its pre-manaphras state.”
At those words, Viscount Osborne Carlos tilted his head.
Manaphthras created this world, but what was its previous state?
Elio briefly told the story he had heard from Antar, the demon god.
“...I intend to bring peace to this world by eradicating Ushas Undra, the ‘vanguard of chaos’. My participation in the war will only increase confusion.”
“I have heard your Excellency the Count’s words. But if the person who said that is the god of the demons... shouldn’t we examine whether it’s true or false? I may have confused His Excellency with false information.”
“If the demon god hadn’t lied... the world would be headed for destruction. Moreover, it is also my mission to eliminate the ‘vanguard of chaos’.”
Viscount Osborne Carlos looked at Count Lagoa with a rather absurd face.
Do It Now it’s a mission.
‘Looking at his expression, I’m not just saying...’
I was going to take him to the Northern Kingdom, but I guess that was wrong.
“I understand your Excellency’s intentions. It’s unfortunate, but since this is our mission, we have to make concessions. As for me, I earnestly ask that His Excellency the Count remember our Escatos kingdom and its people.”
“I am also always grateful for the relationship with the Escatos Kingdom.”
After the story, Viscount Osborne Carlos turned to Baron Fabian Cloud.
“I will leave at dawn tomorrow. Have your reply ready by then.”
“yes.”
Elio asked as Viscount Osborne Carlos got up from his seat.
“Last time, Marquis Bernardo came. How is the Marquis?”
“You are fine. This time, the Marquis is busy reorganizing the army... but everyone stopped him because his face is known to the Empire. Compared to that, wizards don’t do anything, and they don’t get much attention these days, so it’s easy to come and go. haha.”
Elio smiled wryly without realizing it.
