104A war that never ends (1)
The basis for Baron Vasily's judgment came from the report of a scout who had gone on a reconnaissance..
“The enemy is rapidly advancing towards the third line of defense. The advance team is expected to arrive in the next two hours, and the second team is following the lead team with war supplies. According to what we confirmed, the number of people in the advance group was about 2,500, and the number of people in the follow-up group was about 500..”
A total of 3,000 troops.
There were quite a few people..
If the kingdom of Hector took hold and the flares began to spew out flames, Baron Vasily thought that he would have no choice but to face difficulties on Mercury..
So the method I came up with was to organize a guerrilla unit and attack the enemy's late troops..
‘The Southern Front does not need to win against the Kingdom of Hector. If we hold out for just ten days, the main force in Cairo will arrive, and from then on, the situation will turn around at once. Therefore, the use of guerrilla troops is a very good way to harass the enemy's late troops. Disturb the enemy as much as possible so that they cannot focus on siege, and if the latter team has flare bullets, they can destroy them and make the flare useless..’
It's a dangerous operation..
Five hundred horses, if you are caught by mistake, you may face the worst situation as you are surrounded by three thousand troops..
but.
Didn’t Roman Dmitry do it?.
Defeating the enemy with only two hundred troops was not enough; it was a tremendous act of slaughtering about a thousand enemies..
A hero's spirit stirred in Baron Vasily's heart..
Although he was relegated to the Southern Front, he was once a three-star swordsman who was active on the Western Front..
‘There is no way I could not do what Roman Dmitry did. Anyway, from now on, it is a battle of majors. The person who secures as much merit as possible within ten days will be able to advance to the central government after the war is over..’
made a decision.
Baron Vasily gathered a force of three hundred men..
After sneaking out of the castle so as not to be discovered by the enemy, he avoided the advance team and occupied the path where the second team was moving..
Cha cha chak.
“stop.”
He raised his hand and instructed the soldiers to take cover..
Soldiers quickly hiding in the grass.
Baron Vasily used his abilities as an aura swordsman to the fullest and checked whether the rear troops were approaching the front line..
There was no sign of the successor team yet..
However, this was the southern front that Baron Vasily had a perfect understanding of, and there was no way back anywhere else, so he was confident that it would definitely show up..
It was as expected.
far away.
The appearance of the latecomers was visible..
Although the battle had not yet begun, Baron Vasily could not hide his desire..
‘A wise man said that a crisis is an opportunity. With today as an opportunity, I will escape from this gutter-like reality..’
Two hundred power difference.
I thought it was insignificant.
He believed that if a ragtag group of people had been massacred by only two hundred troops, three hundred troops would be enough to deal with them..
In this operation, speed is everything..
If the enemy quickly sets fire to the war supplies while they are out of their wits, Hector's kingdom will inevitably face difficulties in its future actions..
I held my breath.
waited for the right time.
Finally.
The moment the enemies came into range, Baron Vasily kicked the ground and shouted in a voice filled with mana..
“attack!”
“full army assault!”
a surprise attack.
The soldiers of Cairo rushing forward clearly had the faces of winners..
* * *
Crumbling.
An aura arose.
Baron Vasily manifested an aura and swung his sword at the knight guarding the enemy's lead..
‘Overwhelm the ship by attacking first.’
strong confidence.
I believed the attack would work..
In his mind, he was already cutting down the knight and rushing forward..
however.
Kwaang!
Crumbling!
“……!”
knight of hector.
He also displayed the same aura..
Although it was clearly a surprise attack, Hector's knight blocked Baron Vasily's attack as if he had expected it. Clash of Aura and Aura.
Baron Vasily felt dizzy for a moment due to the strong collision..
Even though we didn't exchange attacks and defenses multiple times, we realized right away that the opponent's aura was stronger than ours..
‘The opponent is also a 3-star prosecutor..’
My complexion became pale..
It was strange.
Contrary to the picture he had expected, the soldiers who were running after him also screamed and ran away one after another..
“enemy!”
“The remnants of Cairo appeared!”
Hector's Kingdom's response was flawless..
Arrows embroidering the sky.
He raised his shield to block the arrows, and slaughtered all of Cairo's soldiers at once..
It was the beginning of a massacre.
I definitely thought Cairo had the advantage in the fight, but as soon as they hit, they were wiped out miserably..
“It's my colleague's revenge.!”
Hector's soldiers.
There was venom in their eyes..
As they held their colleague's funeral with tired faces, they gritted their teeth and vowed to take revenge..
opponent's surprise attack?
already expected.
Roman Dmitry was a monster who slaughtered countless allies just by having the advantage of mountains and darkness, so he calculated that he could be attacked in any situation..
The latecomers were a kind of trap..
The intention was to make the enemies appear on the plain by wagging their tails, and then devour them at once the moment they appeared..
phut-
Pangpang-
A flare went off.
The escape route was blocked in an instant..
The advance guard, who had apparently gone far away, returned in an instant, and completely blocked the retreat while the soldiers in Cairo were panicking..
No matter where you go, Hector's soldiers block your path..
They tried to make a way through the evil, but as they expected, the ragtag group of people did not disappear at once..
“……This is ridiculous.”
Baron Vasily.
his eyes were tight.
I couldn't believe it.
According to his common sense, Hector's kingdom should be a ragtag group, but their quick response took his breath away..
It didn't happen simply because I was prepared..
The Kingdom of Hector had sufficiently trained its soldiers in preparation for this war in the first place, and the soldiers who were intoxicated by the comfort of the southern front were no match for them..
Baron Vasily didn't even think about it..
It was a feat possible for Roman Dmitry..
The miraculous victory gave birth to overconfidence, and he lost strength as he was consistently outclassed by Hector's knight..
Kwaang!
My arm flew out..
His expression turned pale..
An aura that fills my eyes.
‘fuck.’
Suddenly!
That was the last scene he remembered..
* * *
cairo royal family.
they took their time.
With just one victory, I thought I had secured the initiative against Hector's kingdom..
Happiness is short-lived.
Barely a day had passed, and the Cairo royal family received a series of disturbingly shocking reports..
“It is said that Baron Vasily, commander of the 3rd defense line, was killed in a battle with the enemy.!”
“Your Majesty the King! The 3rd and 4th defense lines fell to enemy attacks. All that remains now is the second line of defense. If that too falls, the southern front will fall into the hands of Hector's kingdom..”
“We've just received a call from the second line of defense! It's a report that they won't be able to withstand the enemy's attacks for long.!”
just one day.
Barely 24 hours have passed since reports were received that the Kingdom of Hector had begun attacking frontline defense positions..
The difference in power was obvious.
It is true that the forces on the southern front were at a disadvantage, but with Roman Dmitry taking the momentum, they believed they could still hold out for ten days..
however.
What on earth does this mean?.
Daniel Cairo could not accept the rapidly worsening situation..
‘Did something happen that we didn't expect?.’
Other than that.
There was no way to explain it..
But that wasn't the truth either.
The defeated soldier who barely survived the attack of Hector's Kingdom said this in his last contact with the royal family:.
[The flare possessed by the Kingdom of Hector has finally run out. Still, we cannot stop them. Even though they are not attacking by destroying the castle walls, they cannot stop the kingdom of Hector, who climbs over with a ladder attached to the walls and slaughters our troops! Please save me. We can't last 10 days. If things continue like this, it's only a matter of time before the southern front falls into enemy hands..]
It was shocking news.
southern front.
Because it was an old facility, magic defense devices to protect against flares were not properly installed..
actually.
It was thought that the initial defeat was because the meaning of the castle wall was lost due to the flare..
The Kingdom of Hector was unable to secure enough war materials due to the country's poor situation, and the flares used to suppress the steamship quickly ran out..
However, the results did not change.
Rather, the troops climbing up the castle walls showed a cruel reality to the Kingdom of Cairo..
overwhelming power difference.
The southern front was collapsing.
Daniel Cairo knew then what a single victory meant..
‘It is not that the Kingdom of Cairo was strong, nor that the Kingdom of Hector was weak. A mutant named Roman Dmitry achieved an unprecedented victory. We were complacent. They should have acknowledged the difference in power between them and the enemy and ordered the commanders of the southern front to absolutely avoid direct combat with the enemy..’
perhaps.
Maybe he was secretly hoping for it too..
Due to the miraculous victory that Roman achieved, there is hope that similar miracles may occur in other battlefields as well..
reality collapsed.
In a desperate situation.
“Where is Roman Dmitry now?.”
Daniel Cairo had no choice but to naturally find Roman's presence..
* * *
Roman Dmitry.
The Cairo royal family visited him..
After receiving a call from the royal family, Henry Albert visited Chris and asked:.
“chris! Didn’t Roman say anything about when he would come out? The southern front is on the verge of falling into enemy hands. I don't know what I'm doing now, but I need to convey the royal family's message to Roman..”
It was frustrating for him..
under the mountain.
The front line defense positions were burning..
This was a golden opportunity to make a remarkable contribution, but since the battle ended, Roman has completely disappeared..
Chris said.
“This is a situation that was already expected.”
“……what?”
“The lord said that the victory against Hector's kingdom was the result of a lot of luck. If the enemies hadn't followed us up the mountain. If only he hadn't insisted on holding on to himself until the end. Hector's kingdom would have captured the southern front sooner than now..”
Roman Dmitry.
He was not drunk on victory..
I faced reality and knew what I would face if I went down from the mountain to prevent the attack of Hector's kingdom..
so that.
Roman ordered a break..
They anticipated Cairo's defeat and conserved their power..
“……how.”
Henry Albert was speechless..
He couldn't understand Roman..
guerrilla warfare.
Everyone expected defeat.
When he thought it was a ridiculous strategy, he made a decision alone and achieved a miraculous victory, but now when he thought there was a chance of victory, he took the opposite action..
He was definitely not a person who lived in the realm of common sense..
No matter how unfavorable the situation was, I couldn't even guess what they were doing after cutting off all contact with the outside world..
The child got on board.
He had to show the royal family that he was Roman's man, but there was nothing he could do due to Chris's adamant attitude..
far away.
I saw where Roman was..
‘What are you doing out there alone??’
He couldn't know.
Right now, even at this moment.
Roman Dmitry is taking a step forward..
