Chapter 1374
Episode 1374. I would like to say a word as a tribute to you, is that okay?
Helio was also shocked and embarrassed by the unexpected sad news.
“Was the situation in the kingdom of Adria that bad?”
It was no exaggeration to say that the Imperial Army was invincible thanks to the combination of the Musketeers and Excitium.
It can be seen from the fact that the Southern Kingdom Army, which once recovered the Shade Kingdom, was pushed back to the Adria Kingdom.
Fabian muttered with a grim face.
“I’m sure they pulled in all the reserve units in Krasion Castle.”
The kingdom of Adria was so precarious that even he, who was aware of the insidiousness of the aristocratic society, could not doubt it.
“What are you going to do? If you want to visit the grave and pay your respects, take me there.”
Elio glanced at Fabian.
At least one person had no problem moving to Kowloonbeonsin.
Fabian replied with a bitter face.
“no. I’m not very close to Baron Sophia… What are you doing looking at the grave?”
“Shouldn’t you take a peek? Could you regret it later?”
“It’s because I feel like going now will only make me feel worse.”
“It is better to experience a strange feeling once than to regret it forever.”
At Elio’s repeated invitation, Fabian reluctantly nodded.
It was difficult to pretend not to know a woman who was pregnant with her own child.
After a while, the two moved to an uninhabited place on the outskirts of Buk-gu.
There, Elio held Fabian’s waist with one hand and soared into the sky.
The new model of the two, who had moved around nine times in the air, at some point ‘Puck!’ and disappeared

Southern Adriatic kingdom.
Cuzco Castle.
Two men fell into the gardens of Cusco Castle in the early evening.
They are Elio and Fabian.
Unlike Elio, who was accustomed to the Kowloon Transition, Fabian staggered for a moment as if he was dizzy.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I feel dizzy because it spins around in the air.”
“It’s the first time, so after a few times, I don’t feel it.”
Eventually, the two naturally entered the Cusco Castle.
The party of Count Omar of Larva, who was having dinner, was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the two.
It was after Elio visited without notice a few months ago.
After exchanging greetings, Howard asked hastily as Elio and Fabian sat down.
“Shall we bring more food?”
Then Elio lightly waved his hand.
“No, we just had lunch. Just drink some wine.”
“Ah yes.”
Howard, who had been standing hesitantly, sat down, watching the two of them.
‘Seeing that Fabian-niisama was brought, it must be because of that, too, right?’
It was this morning that news of Baron Sofia Orlova’s death reached Cusco Castle.
Adria Kingdom’s intelligence department said they would contact the system’s informants via magic communication, so they must have heard the news.
just as expected!
Count Elio Lagoa said after silently emptying a glass of wine.
“Howard We just received news of Baron Sophia’s death. Do you know anything about him?”
“About a month ago, a magic cannon fell on the headquarters of the Skull Corps and caused quite a few casualties. Because of that, the number of staff members dispatched from the Visa Skull Corps were called in, but it seems that the order was sent to Baron Sophia as they were handled in a hurry on the working line.”
“Did King Raul just watch that?”
“I only found out about 15 days after Baron Sophia left Krasion. Belatedly, I sent ‘Baron Sophia’s order to transfer to Krasion’ to the Skull Corps, but… it is said that he was killed before the messenger arrived.”
Elio didn’t ask for more.
It’s a little disappointing how the Skull Corps handled things, but that’s because it could happen at any time during the war.
Fabian, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, opened his mouth.
“The corpse?”
“I heard that they were buried in the cemetery of the dead near Peromuros.”
Fabian looked back at Count Helio Lagoa with a bitter face.
“Sir Lagoa, I will go to Peromuros tomorrow morning.”
“Come with me.”
Then Howard and Crea said one word at a time.
“I will go too.”
“me too.”
Elio looked at Howard and Crea with an ambiguous expression.
This is because if more people want to go, they have to use the stagecoach.
Then Count Larva Omar spoke.
“I will go with you.”
When Count Omar joined in, Elio had no choice but to nod his head.
“Then let’s all use the stagecoach.”
That’s how Elio’s party’s journey to Pheromuros was confirmed.
next day.
After Elio and his party left Cusco Castle, the butler hurriedly ran to the palace.
King Raoul Brosnan, who heard about Elio and his party’s actions from the butler, hurriedly summoned the chancellor.
“Last night, Count Helio Lagoa and Baron Cloud came to Cusco Castle. It’s been less than half a day since I delivered the news of Baron Sophia’s death through the intelligence department… Judging by the fact that she brought Baron Cloud with her, her level of magic isn’t normal. They say it’s at least Circle 7 enough to use Mega Teleport… It’s terrible. It’s terrible.”
King Raoul Brosnan shook his head excitedly.
It is not unreasonable that the emperor of the empire bestowed the title of count without asking or questioning.
Chancellor Marquis Carlo Roman Blas asked cautiously.
“Is the Count of Lagoa in Cusco Castle?”
“Early in the morning, I rode a stagecoach to Peromuros with the guests of Cusco Castle. They say they are visiting the graves of the fallen in the Battle of Feromuros. Didn’t the chancellor say that only Viscount Saiha had to be careful? By the way, not only Baron Cloud, but also Count Lagoa and Count Omar are visiting the grave. What are you going to do now?”
“Don’t worry too much. Although their actions were unexpected, there is no doubt about Baron Sophia’s warriors.”
“Viscount Saiha? Shouldn’t we have to crack down on him?”
“The person who killed Baron Sophia is Viscount Saiha. He will not confess his sins even for fear of punishment.”
“I was against the plan from the beginning. You are the one who pushed it.”
Feeling the crisis, King Raoul Brosnan blamed everything on the chancellor.
Marquis Carlo Roman Blas was furious at the King’s attitude, but didn’t say anything.
It was because he could really take all the blame if he pretended to be with the king.
“Hundreds of casualties pour in every day in Her Highness Feromuros. Even if Count Lagoa’s talent reached the sky, don’t worry, as I can’t find out more.”
“I don’t know, so figure it out. It’s just that Viscount Saiha keeps bothering me like a thorn in my neck. Are you going to leave it like this?”
That too was a call to death.
At the shameless words of the king, Marquis Carlo Roman Blas cursed inwardly.
‘No fuck! Do you know who is sick? Why do you keep telling me to kill you even though you said you didn’t know!’
However, the chancellor instead gave the king the answer he wanted.
“As soon as Count Lagoa and his party return, I will clean it up.”
“It’s not all bad news. I got a call from Magenta. They say they’ve completed a weapon with performance similar to that of Excitium. Contact the southern kingdoms to secure finances.”
“When do you say the mass production will be?”
“It won’t take long since we prepared the production facilities in advance.”
“There is intelligence that the supply of the Imperial Army is almost over. If the imperial army moves again, it will reach Krasion Castle in no time.”
“Even if airships are used to take over weapons, it will take two months. Unfortunately, there is no way to stop the Imperial Army right now. Prepare to empty Krasion Castle.”
“Yes…”
Marquis Carloman Blas lowered his head with a sad face.

Northwest of Peromuros.
small town Cervo.
The stagecoach that left Cracion Castle arrived in Servo five days later.
After getting off at the stagecoach office, Elio and the others went to the Skull Corps garrison.
Elio had a new feeling, but he thought of Fabian and said nothing.
Because Servo is the city where Fabian and Baron Sofia first met.
Maybe that’s why Fabian’s expression was darker than before.
The Skull Corps garrison was devastated even at a glance.
On the road in the torn barracks, the traces of the magic cannon were left intact.
The commanders rushed to see if they had received a call from the post.
Corps Commander Dipon Cornelia, who was at the forefront, greeted them with a smile.
“Your Excellency Count Lagoa! long time no see. Count Omar is also here.”
Elio and Count Omar smiled and bowed lightly.
Corps Commander Dipon Cornelia soon calmed down his excitement.
“Because the situation in our corps is not good… I am embarrassed. I will guide you to the command center first.”
Corps commander Dipon Cornelia turned around and entered the half-destroyed building.
At the entrance to the building, staff blocked Fabian and Howard Crea’s way.
Then Fabian said with a hard face.
“I am Baron Fabian Cloud.”
At that, the staff hesitated and then sent him inside.
The relationship between Baron Sophia and Baron Cloud is famous in the Skull Corps.
However, Howard and Crea were not allowed entry.
The two people left were dissatisfied, but they didn’t grumble because of the atmosphere.
As Elio and Count Omar, Count Fabian, sat down, Corps Commander Dipon Cornelia glanced at his chief of staff, Viscount Ikov Sayha.
Viscount Ikov Saiha came forward and read the ‘war report of Baron Sophia’ clearly.
There was no change in content in the larger context.
“…The body of Baron Sophia was buried in a park in Servo with other nobles after a joint funeral. We will guide you to Servo Park in a moment. I apologize once again for not being able to protect Baron Sophia. If you have any questions, please ask.”
Elio turned to Fabian.
“Do you have any questions?”
“doesn’t exist.”
Fabian himself was also from Yeongji-gun, so he did not show any personal feelings.
He only intended to go back after checking the grave.
From the moment he entered the city, the incident with Baron Sophia came to his mind.
I thought the memories with her would be annoying, but it wasn’t.
So I wanted to leave the city more.
It was because I was tormented by the thought of Baron Sophia and the baby in my belly.
After a while, Viscount Ikov Saiha and Elio’s party moved to a city park.
Viscount Ikov Saiha, who was walking ahead, stopped in front of a huge burial mound.
“The war is not over yet and there is no place to bury, so only the nobles are buried together. By the way, His Majesty the King declared this place as a sacred place for national defense and said that he would take special care of it.”
Fabian muttered with an absurd face.
“I thought there was a separate grave for Baron Sophia… but this is a bit like that.”
“Baron Cloud. Nobles with a higher title than Baron Sophia also joined their palms. It’s an exhibition, so please understand if you don’t like it.”
“…”
Fabian kept his mouth shut, not wanting to break the solemn atmosphere.
Then Count Larva Omar spoke.
“Didn’t I say Viscount Saiha was Baron Sophia’s direct superior? To be honest, I don’t know who she is except for Baron Fabian. I want you to say a word in remembrance, would that be okay?”
