Episode 1347. Wasn’t Kyeong wary of the spread of excitium?

Imperial Army Intelligence.
The Imperial Army Intelligence Department installed in the Steel Corps has been busy since morning.
It is because of the magic communication sent in real time by the intelligence agents planted in Minos.
“Leaving the Chalet (Southern Lodge) of Count Helio Lagoa.”
“Visit the Minos Stagecoach Association, Count of Helio Lagoa.”
“Confirmation of purchase of stagecoach tickets to northern Peromuros, Count Helio Lagoa.”
“Aboard the stagecoach of Count Helio Lagoa. The stagecoach is due to arrive at Peromuros Northern Station at 2:00 PM.”
As soon as the report that ‘Count Lagoa had boarded the carriage’ came up, Count Karl Bamut summoned Viscount Lisa Cordo.
“It looks like the Count of Lagoa will eventually have an accident.”
“Are you buying?”
“A little while ago, a magical message came in saying that he had boarded a stagecoach bound for northern Pheromuros.”
“omg! The fall of Feromuros is just around the corner. You’re not insane. We must inform the commander-in-chief, His Highness the Crown Prince!”
“I have to do wonders for that. Report immediately to His Highness the Crown Prince. I will prepare a countermeasure with the Marquis of Staurun.”
“All right.”
Viscount Lisa Cordo, who was on fire, hastily left the Ministry of Information.

Expeditionary Force General Headquarters.
At Viscount Lisa Cordo’s report, the commander-in-chief, Crown Prince Louis Fraser III, frowned.
“Since it’s been quiet for a while, I thought I had finished the negotiations with Count Lagoa in an appropriate way, wasn’t it?”
“I apologize, but the staff of the Iron Corps visited several times, but could not reach an agreement.”
“What does Count Lagoa want?”
“I’m sorry to tell you.... He said to himself that he couldn’t take back what he said once.”
“What did you say?”
“When he first met the Marquis of Stauran, he said that if he touched him, he would meet his son who had gone before him.”
In an instant, the prince’s face contorted.
There is no one who does not know that Marquis Theo Stauron, commander of the Iron Legion, is one of his closest aides.
Threatening to kill such a person was an insult to himself.
“Is it the Battalion unit he’s after? Or is it the Marquis of Stauran?”
“I’m sorry...”
“Omit the word sorry.”
“Ah yes... For now, I am being considered as the Marquis of Staurun.”
“The reason is?”
“It’s because the Count didn’t mention the Battalion unit.”
“But didn’t you kill all of the Scorpion companies?”
“They killed the Scorpion Company because they committed... a grave war crime, in the words of Earl Mmm. However, the Battalion unit has never committed a war crime.”
“So you’re only aiming for the Marquis of Stauran?”
“The Imperial Army intelligence department has concluded that.”
“Do you really think the Count of Lagoa will kill the Marquis of Stauran?”
“Excuse me... yes.”
“The Marquis of Stauran was the first person to teach me swordsmanship. Since then, he has always been my staunch supporter. Did you say Viscount Cordo?”
“yes. majesty.”
“What do you think I should do?”
“I told Count Lagoa to be careful...”
one of them said politely.
“Your Excellency Count Lagoa. I am Count Rand Getty, Chief of Staff of Expeditionary Force Headquarters. I have come by order of His Highness Louis Fraser III, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force.”
“Oops! When did the news reach you? So what do you say?”
“Commander-in-chief said that the Iron Corps plays a key role as the spearhead of the expeditionary force, so we should ask the imperial court after the war to decide what went wrong.”
“I tried to be patient as well, but as you know, the corps commander sent an assassination unit, so it seems difficult. Change your stance and imagine that someone is aiming for the back of your head. Will you sleep well? So please tell the Commander-in-Chief that he refused.”
“The commander-in-chief is the one who will soon become the ruler of the empire. Wouldn’t it be of great help to His Excellency in the future, if you do at least one request from such a person?”
“Rather than that, I want to live comfortably. I’m tired of exploring the surroundings every time I go. Do I have to live while looking at the people around me for what I did wrong? I am not that kind of person.”
“Wouldn’t it be possible to take the life of the Marquis of Staurun at any time? If so, what about after this war is over?”
At the unexpected suggestion, Elio stared at Count Rand Getty’s face.
Count Rand Getty also stared into the opponent’s eyes without avoiding them.
Elio could see the truth in Count Rand Getty’s eyes.
Surprisingly, the crown prince seemed to have given up on his closest aide, Marquis Theo Stauran.
“Now does that mean I can do whatever I want with the Marquis of Staurun?”
“Rather, it is an invitation to do whatever you do after the war is over. Isn’t there any reason to go against the will of the crown prince and kill him right now?”
“Of course I could do that, but... I also decline.”
“Why?”
“That’s because the Marquis of Stauran has a Batalion unit. As I said, I’m tired of exploring my surroundings every time I go. Why should the victim live in agony? Other people may be able to live like that, but I don’t live that way.”
“Sorry. If that is what His Excellency Count Lagoa intends, I will not dissuade you any longer. Enough then.”
Earl Rand Getty, the chief of staff of the Expeditionary Force’s general headquarters, turned around without regret after refusing to bow.
Elio slowly moved to the base of the Iron Legion.

Northern Feromuros.

Baron Claude Quello of the Imperial Intelligence Service jumped into the Iron Legion headquarters.
Viscount Kurt Wartner, the chief of staff who was leading the meeting, jumped up from his seat and shouted.
“Has the Count of Lagoa arrived?”
“That’s right. I met with Count Rand Getty of Expeditionary Force Headquarters a while ago, but it seems that he failed to appease. The Count of Lagoa is coming here.”
“shit! Did you mean to ignore even the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince? If this happens, there is no choice but to prepare for an all-out war! I will meet the corps commander.”
Just as he was about to finish his words, someone burst through the conference room door.
The corps commander was Marquis Theo Stauron.
“Helio Lagoa is coming?”
The chief of staff, Viscount Kurt Wartner, knew that the corps commander had other secret organizations.
But that’s not important now.
If the corps commander and Elio Lagoa clashed, it was clear that at least the staff would be involved.
His own life was at stake, so he had to kill Count Lagoa first.
“yes! He said he just met with Count Rand Getty of Expeditionary Force Headquarters. It is a report that Count Rand Getty seems to have failed to appease.”
“Then I’ll come over here soon. What are you staring at? Order the battalion troops and artillery to prepare for battle and seal the front gate of the Iron Legion! Tell the sentries to open fire if anyone approaches the Iron Legion!”
“Isn’t the normal identity verification process...?”
“Repression comes first. He’s a grand master. I will cut my throat while talking.”
“All right.”
After leaving the meeting room, the chief of staff and the staff ran to their respective areas.
Baron Claude Quello of the Imperial Army Intelligence Department also left the conference room among the staff.
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding! Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding! Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!
An emergency bell rang in the quiet steel legion.
Battalion troops came running out of the inn, and magic cannons were dissipating everywhere.
It took less than 10 minutes for the batalion unit and magic battery to finish preparing, befitting the strongest combat unit forged in real battles.
The Iron Legion, which had been overturned as if it had stung a beehive, soon became as quiet as a cemetery.
