Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1331. This is a war crime that deserves immediate disposition.

The Imperials didn’t cause trouble in the first place.

In the early days of the war, when both sides fought on the border between the Principality of Toplar and the Shade Kingdom, discipline was strict.

However, while retreating to Urban after receiving heavy damage from the steel golem, the imperial army gradually got sick.

Filled with vengeance and anger, the Imperial Army launched a counterattack with the Batalion unit at the fore.

As a result, within a few days, they regained the territory of the Principality of Toplar and occupied the Shade Kingdom within a month.

The speed of the counterattack was so fast that the supply units from the rear could not catch up.

To make matters worse, as the supply route became longer, the Shade Kingdom’s resistance forces raided the longer supply route this time.

The Imperial Army, having problems with supply, chose the superpower of local procurement of supplies ―rather than slowing down the march.

If it had been pursued within the territory of the Empire, any commander would have been polite and cut off the confirmation of requisition.

However, the area where the Imperial Army is at the forefront is the enemy’s Shade Kingdom and Adria Kingdom.

Depending on the commander’s inclination, some were polite, but most of them were stolen as if plundering.

The only place where the requisition certificate was cut off was when I was taking the stagecoach’s cargo – which I happened to encounter on the road.

When vengeance, anger, and plunder came together, the discipline collapsed at once.

Especially in the case of the leading troops thrown behind enemy lines, they even committed a brutal act of extermination of the Witnesses to cover their plunder.

Adriatic kingdom.

A village outside the steel city of Feromuros.

A company of the Imperial Army had just finished looting and gathered in the center of the town.

About 50 villagers were kneeling in the empty lot.

A knight approached the Quartermaster, Baron Rico Geriel.

“Supply Officer. The requisition is over. What should I do?”

said Baron Rico Gerald with a fishy smile.

“The movements of the Imperial Army must not go into the ears of the Kingdom Army. Organize everything.”

Lieutenant Terrell, the rider, was startled, but nodded and turned around.

Even bad things are hard the first time, easy the second time.

This isn’t the first time Scorpion Company has wiped out a village.

The magic gun of the Imperial Army spewed fire.

Pupperpuppung-!

About 50 villagers collapsed without even screaming.

Eventually, the imperial army piled the bodies in one place and poured oil on them.

After a while, acrid black smoke rose to the sky.

The company commander, Baron Hank Stauran, who was watching the smoke rising from a distance, gestured to the supply officer.

“Yes, company commander.”

“What if Feromuros is close by and smoke is raised? Are you going to advertise that we are here!”

“But if you don’t burn the body…”

The South is a hot place, so if you don’t burn the body, the entire area will be polluted.

Baron Rico Geriel tried to point it out.

“what? Afraid that an epidemic will spread? That’s what therapists tell you to worry about! Our job is requisition and reconnaissance. Why do you grow your work by doing what a therapist would do?”

“sorry. I will correct it.”

“The kingdom army must have seen the smoke, so leave quickly. Requisition?”

In fact, what Baron Hank Stauron was curious about was the requisition item.

“Five sacks of wheat, three sacks of corn, and five silver coins from the Adria Kingdom.”

“Damn it. Even if they robbed the slums of the system, they would have come out more than that. From now on, tell them to finish with a sword instead of a magic gun.”

“All right.”

Moments later, the Scorpion Company, which had left the village, moved along the road.

around noon.

The stagecoaches that spotted the Imperials from afar slowed down little by little.

Transport manager Wales sighed involuntarily.

“ha!”

I tried avoiding the imperial army camp, but it seems that I had no luck.

‘No. Because the commander might be a decent person.’

He struggled to overcome his anxiety and took the lead.

Seven guards quickly followed him.

Soon the speed of the stagecoaches dropped to that of a man walking.

Wales approached the nose without hesitation.

“You work hard. This is Wales, Director of Transportation, Stagecoach Transport Association.”

“I am Teriel, Chief Knight of the Scorpion Company. I will requisition munitions according to the Imperial War Special Act. How many wagons do you have?”

“…”

Surprised, Wales was speechless for a moment.

I hoped the commander would be a good person, but I stepped on shit.

The imperial army did not command all the load of the stagecoach.

Imperial army commanders were all nobles with titles.

Commanders who know their honor do not try to steal civilians’ property.

Seeing that they would requisition as soon as our eyes met, they were worn-out guys.

“…Two.”

“Leader? Are you Fumi?”

“Two wagons in the aft.”

“Okay. I will only check that there are passengers in the carriage and let them pass.”

“…”

Wales diligently calculated in his head.

One wagon was loaded with coffee, tea and spices.

In terms of price, it’s about two hundred gold.

It will be written that way on the conscription confirmation.

What bothers me is the other one.

‘They said that the wooden box contained books and alchemy materials…’ What

he checked himself was a few of the topmost boxes.

‘No big deal.’

Since it was a requisition by the Imperial Army, the client would not be able to hold the Stagecoach Association accountable.

He glanced around.

Due to the battle between the Imperial Army and the Southern Kingdom Army, there were no ordinary people going to and from the road.

‘Yes, take them all.’

It was better to just give it up because you would only lose yourself if you resisted and get hit.

The Imperials peered inside the wagons and sent them forward one by one.

After a brief inspection, the wagon moved forward a little before stopping.

Because you have to move with the guards.

Three stagecoaches with passengers passed through the Scorpion company.

Then it was the wagon’s turn.

The first wagon fell into Imperial hands.

The drivers meticulously checked the cargo as if they were the owners.

Soon it was the turn of the second wagon.

The expressions of the knights who forcibly opened the wooden box changed slightly.

Soon after, a knight called for Baron Rico Geriel, who was standing under the carriage.

“Supply Officer!”

“What?”

“You should come and see.”

“What’s on it, so you’re asking me to look at it?”

Baron Rico Gerald, babbling annoyedly, climbed into the carriage.

“What is it?”

Instead of speaking, the knight gently removed the cloth covering the object.

The gold coins of the Shade Kingdom glittered.

For an instant, Baron Rico Geriel’s eyes glistened with greed.

He quickly opened the other boxes.

The rest of the box of silver coins was filled with expensive trinkets.

It seems that the great nobles of the southern kingdom were trying to siphon off their wealth using a stagecoach.

After thinking for a moment, Baron Rico Geriel ordered the knight.

“Put all lids on.”

“yes.”

As the knight began to put the lid back on the open crate, Baron Rico Gerell jumped from the wagon.

Wales, the Stagecoach Transporter, approached the Imperial Army Quartermaster.

Of course, to get a conscription confirmation.

“Supply Officer.”

Then Quartermaster Rico Geriel, Baron Baron, said with a smile.

“If it is because of the conscription confirmation, please wait. I have to report to the company commander first. The Stagecoach Association will not lose money.”

“thank you.”

Wales bowed his head with a thrilled face.

My heart ached, but the one holding the hilt was over there, so I couldn’t help it.

Quarterly Baron Rico Geriel, a supply officer who visited the company commander, lowered his voice.

“Squadron commander. The jackpot has finally come to us.”

“What is it?”

“A box of gold coins, a box of silver coins, and three boxes of jeweled trinkets. If converted into imperial currency, it might be at least 150,000 gold, maybe even more.”

“…”

For a moment, the company commander, Baron Hank Stauran, stopped breathing.

I only got five silver coins from one village, but each is a box of gold and silver coins.

Baron Hank Stauran, barely awake, muttered to himself.

“The great noble must have tried to siphon off the property.”

“That’s right. The owner will be riding in one of the three carriages sent earlier.”

“What is it?”

Baron Hank Stauran got a little lucky.

Issuing a requisition confirmation means that all property belongs to the empire.

That’s why the Empire compensates for it when you submit a confirmation of requisition to the Empire.

In other words, if you follow the normal procedure, the wealth worth 150,000 gold goes into the Imperial Army.

You may be able to touch it for a while, but that is not rice cake.

The rice cakes were to be eaten in small pieces by the upper part of the Imperial Army.

How much money is a company commander’s salary of 50 silver or 150,000 gold?

If you do not issue a requisition confirmation, the 150,000 gold becomes your personal property.

To do so, you have to erase the stagecoach without a trace, just like you did.

However, ‘killing the inhabitants of the southern kingdom’ and ‘getting rid of the stagecoach’ are completely different problems.

Who cares about the townships of the Southern Kingdom, but robbery against stagecoaches was a felony even in the Empire.

Then Quartermaster Rico Geriel, Baron Baron, spoke.

“Commander, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you do it this time, you won’t have to burn down the village anymore. If it has a long tail, it may be stepped on.”

The imperial army’s military banner fell to the ground, but the blade of the Inspector’s Office was still sharp.

Baron Rico Geriel had pointed that out.

“so?”

“We must wipe out the stagecoach and take the enemy’s wealth. In the first place, the mistake was made by the Stagecoach Association. Didn’t you cooperate in stealing the riches of the great nobles of the Southern Kingdom? This is a war crime that deserves immediate disposition.”

Baroness Rico Geriel pretended that the Stagecoach Society had committed a great sin.

Baron Hank Stauran nodded vigorously.

After hearing it, it was because it was a war crime with no flaws even if you killed it.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you’ll die.

“How would you like to distribute it?”

“Squadron commander, take half of the 150,000 gold. I will take half of what is left and distribute the rest to the knights and soldiers.”

“Good. proceed.”

“yes.”

Baron Rico Gerald bowed to the company commander and then turned around.

Elio, who was leisurely looking out the window in the carriage, murmured.

“Hey, what a beautiful world it is.”

Fabian sighed at his somewhat sarcastic remark.

“ha! Who knows why? We will depart when the transport manager arrives, so please bear with it even if you feel frustrated.”

“I bet my left hand on not starting. what do you want to bet on?”

“I want to bet, but I have nothing to bet. Can’t you just tell me what’s going on?”

This is when Elio is about to answer.

Pupperpuppung-!

With the sound of magic gun shooting, the horses tied to the carriage fell peek pick.

After dealing with the horses, the musketeers immediately turned their guns on the guards.

It had already been done many times, so everything was as natural as flowing water.

Wales, waiting for the requisition confirmation, froze in an instant.

Since the stagecoach association was founded, no stagecoaches have been attacked by the Imperial Army.

The southern kingdom army also did not touch the stagecoach.

This is because the stagecoach is an essential engine for both empires and kingdoms.

‘why?’
