At first, the people of Valhalla treated the news that Roman Dmitry had been attacked as a rumor..
“Does that make sense? This is Valhalla. What kind of crazy bastards would dare attack Roman Dmitry on Imperial soil? There must have been some mistake. I heard that people formed a procession to follow Roman Dmitry, but I guess there was trouble in the process..”
in the land of empire.
Who would mess with a warrior revered by Valhalla?.
People from the same Valhalla would not be able to do such a thing, and if so, it could only be the work of another country..
It made even less sense. Even if the opponent is the Kronos Empire.
It was realistically impossible to move troops to kill someone in the territory of Valhalla..
How to cross the border.
There was no way the Valhalla Empire would just sit by and watch such a ridiculous thing..
however.
The rumor caught fire..
People who said they observed the situation at the scene presented clear evidence in the form of video as well as detailed testimony..
“The beings who attacked Roman Dmitri were clearly the 'shadows' of the Kronos Empire. Damn you bastards. They openly announced the assassination of Roman Dmitry, and now they are trying to kill Roman Dmitry by entering the territory of Valhalla. Everyone please watch this video. In this, the events of that time are vividly contained..”
How to check the video required a magic tool.
So, not many people were able to check the video directly, but what happened to Roman Dmitry quickly began to become known through the mouths of those who watched the video..
The video showed it as it was..
A procession followed Roman Dmitry, and in the sudden attack of shadows, Roman Dmitry raised his voice to evacuate the people of Valhalla..
In that scene.
people were amazed.
It was touching to see him prioritizing the lives of the people of Valhalla in a situation where he was being attacked..
of course.
That was what Roman Dmitry intended..
The reason for attracting people and using them as 'witnesses', and the reason for excluding the people of Valhalla from the battlefield and saving their lives was to record all the scenes on video..
It was obvious that Valhalla would not directly reveal its murderous intent..
If they attacked Roman Dmitry at the festival in Valhalla, the foundation of the country would collapse, so their only option was to stand by..
That means.
The last thing Valhalla wants is to spread responsibility for a series of situations onto them..
There was an uproar.
People expressed their anger at Roman Dmitry's attack, and it was clear that this was an act of Kronos Empire's disregard for Valhalla, and they seemed as if they would start a war at any moment..
Everyone raised their voices and said they should help Roman Dmitry..
I don't know if you didn't know the truth. If Roman Dmitry was now under threat from Kronos, we had to help him return safely..
people said.
“Roman Dmitry is a person who personally showed what the pride of ‘Valhalla’ is. If such a being is killed by the Empire in Valhalla's territory, we will not be able to speak of Valhalla's pride in the future. People of Valhalla. Let's wake up. We must do our part to ensure that Roman Dmitry returns safely..”
People who wake up like a fever.
Their eyes turned to the Imperial Palace of Valhalla..
In response to the opinions of those who strongly urged for help, the Imperial House of Valhalla naturally expressed its intention to move its troops..
but.
A day passes.
Two days passed.
Even after a week.
The Valhalla Imperial Court did not send troops for Roman Dmitry..
* * *
Valhalla Imperial Palace.
They did not go against the trend head on..
Although they were equally angry at the actions of the Kronos Empire, they created an unavoidable reason why they could not help Roman Dmitri..
“The shadows of the Kronos Empire are attacking key figures in Valhalla, including Roman Dmitri. Apparently, they drew attention by attacking Roman Dmitry, and it is clear that they had another purpose. People of Valhalla. Don't cause confusion. They have now shown their hostility against Valhalla, and the Valhalla Imperial Court will not allow them even a single victory, no matter what they have planned..”
It was the position of the Imperial family of Valhalla..
there was no truth.
There was no fact that Valhalla's key figures were attacked, but it was enough to create evidence to support their remarks..
People said they found shadows all over Valhalla..
It was a ploy to distract attention from Roman Dmitry, and they used the excuse of moving cautiously as a justification for not sending troops..
if.
If Roman Dmitry dies, he will not escape responsibility..
However, rather than openly inducing death, ignoring people with a reason was a way to appease people's anger..
false rumor.
Valhalla was clever.
Unlike what people call a nation of warriors, they knew how to use rumors to control the situation..
If the Kronos Empire had actually invaded Valhalla's territory, it would have led directly to war..
However, it was something that Valhalla allowed, and the plan was to end this matter later by holding Kronos appropriately responsible..
a well made board.
intentionally neglected.
While expressing his anger by offering to send troops, Roman Dmitry's troops were attacked by shadows..
First day.
The shadows attacked openly..
From the second day, they attempted to attack from a distance using the night time, and when Roman Dmitry's troops were resting, they made sure to reveal their presence through noise..
It was a warning message not to relax..
and.
If there was a place nearby, such as a well that could be used for drinking water, the shadows would poison it and block it from being able to obtain anything from the outside..
It was a moment when the intentions of the shadows were not clear..
Rather than trying to kill Roman Dmitry in a day or two, they actively took advantage of Valhalla's neglect and took a month to their advantage..
10th day.
Valhalla also soon sent troops to show evidence that it was willing to help Roman Dmitri..
Of course, I had no intention of actually helping..
The plausible justification for closing the warp gate could be used as an excuse for the distance from Roman Dmitry..
The situation became increasingly violent..
People's views on Roman Dmitry.
The people of Valhalla paid close attention to Roman Dmitry's movements to the extent that they could not concentrate on their daily lives..
Around that time.
There were people who visited Roman Dmitry.
They were not the Imperial family of Valhalla, but a group of followers of Sanchez..
* * *
Valhalla's Guard.
Kronos' Attack.
Sanchez was furious..
Having heard the truth through Morales, he immediately went to his mentor's followers and raised his voice..
“We must help Roman Dmitry. If Master were alive. He would not have watched the death of Roman Dmitri, who proved Valhalla's pride by defeating Barbossa. The Imperial Court of Valhalla is incredible. In the end, rather than trusting and waiting for these fools, let us show them what the pride of Valhalla is..”
Valhalla.
A country that knows romance.
Although he was deformed by reality, the people who followed Morales each had a burning fire in their hearts..
they formed an army.
It took quite some time to form a group, starting from the eve, and hundreds of troops followed Sánchez to Roman Dmitry..
Their power was not something to be evaluated simply by numbers..
The meaning of Morales' people is that most of them were barbarians or were so skilled in combat that they spent their entire lives on the battlefield..
The time the sun sets.
Sánchez said, looking at Roman Dmitri.
“Roman Dmitry. Let us help you now.”
heartfelt words.
Sanchez risked his life.
Although this incident will lead him to go against those in power, he followed Morales and was not interested in power in the first place..
Born as a warrior of Valhalla. Rather than becoming rich and famous, I just wanted to die worthy..
however.
Roman Dmitry's reaction was different than expected.
“I will be grateful if you want to help me. But do not harbor vain hopes that you can accomplish anything. From the beginning, the Kronos Empire expected patriots like you to step forward. I assure you Your decision will lead you to death.”
“……it's okay. If you wanted to live, you wouldn't have come here..”
“Foolish guys.”
Sanchez and the Warriors.
They did not seek practical benefit.
Despite Roman Dmitry's warnings, they showed strong enthusiasm..
but.
Roman Dmitry knew that they had little influence on the general trend..
“It's already too late to make a choice. Still, I'm glad I took this risk willingly..”
Saying it's late.
It had a clear meaning.
The moment Roman Dmitry drew his sword, a lightning bolt from the sky pushed away the darkness surrounding the forest..
flashing.
Brightening surroundings.
Even though the darkness had been pushed out, the bushes were deeply stained with darkness..
hundreds.
No, more shadows.
They finally revealed their murderous intent..
* * *
It was different from the first day.
As the shadows rushed in, powerful dark mana swirled behind them..
“dark lightning).”
Crying.
Kwakwakwakkwak.!
the sky flashed.
Dark lightning struck, and the creatures beneath it were instantly extinguished..
a branch of shadow.
They were demons of the abyss..
Due to the magic they used, Roman Dmitry's soldiers moved in perfect order..
“enemy!”
“Form a defensive formation!”
The moment lightning strikes.
Roman Dmitry's soldiers formed a magical defense.
They have been constantly training in combat against wizards since the Phoenix Mage Tower joined..
The moment Roman Dmitry recognizes the existence of the enemy.
When told to prepare for an attack, Roman Dmitry's soldiers did not fall into confusion and chose an appropriate response..
It was then.
Shadows coming from all directions attacked all at once..
Kaang!
Kakakakang!
The battle has begun.
The shadows attacked the soldiers in large numbers, three or four of them clinging to each person, putting pressure on them so hard that they were suffocating..
It was truly an overwhelming sight..
When two shadows blocked the space with daggers in front, the other shadow raised a shadow and tied the soldier's feet so that he could not move..
and over your head.
Another shadow fell.
The shadow, enveloped in darkness and gaining momentum in an instant, cut off the soldier's breath with a dagger that created an aura..
Even if you know how to attack.
Shadow was not an easy opponent.
Moreover, it appears that there were more than one warlock, and magic was constantly being used behind the shadows..
“dark flame).”
Hwareuk.
Grumbling.
A fire broke out..
The demons' magic disintegrated the soldiers' camp, and shadows penetrated through the cracks and tore up the surrounding area..
Preparation period of ten days. Roman Dmitry's soldiers seemed not to have been greatly affected, but their stamina was inevitably being eaten away knowingly or unknowingly..
And when the situation is somewhat ripe. The shadows, regardless of Sanchez and his troops, decided that now was the time to attack..
Even in that situation.
Roman Dmitry's soldiers were not taken lightly..
They formed a group of three people and showed off the skills they had been practicing to complement each other's weaknesses..
It was such a thorough response that I was amazed..
Even though the shadows' attacks are beyond the realm of the unexpected, past experience has made Roman Dmitry's soldiers into warriors worth a hundred..
On the contrary.
Sánchez and the warriors panicked..
Unlike those who experienced shadows, their attacks did not work against them..
crispy.
“……?!”
scattered body.
Sanchez was embarrassed..
He quickly retrieved his sword and blocked the attack, but the other warriors died in vain from the shadows' attack..
“Wow!”
“Ugh!”
one-sided massacre.
It was compared to Roman Dmitry's soldiers..
Then I understood.
It means not to have false hopes that you can accomplish something..
That wasn't meant to be a wake-up call, it just meant that it really wasn't very helpful..
‘……how.’
Sanchez's eyes wavered..
in his eyes.
I saw people fighting against the shadows.
I was at the crossroads of life and death because I could not defeat even a single shadow, but I was amazed when I saw that they did not back down even an inch..
What kind of life did Roman Dmitry and his soldiers live?.
In the territory of Valhalla, even against Kronos' demons, they showed no signs of being pushed back..
but.
the situation was not good.
The problem was the warlocks.
The magic erupting from the rear could not be completely blocked even by the magic defense formed by the soldiers..
It was then.
“stay in formation!”
Roman Dmitry.
He flooded the space..
Shadows rushed forward and tried to stop Roman Dmitri, but the intensely swirling aura tore their beings apart..
Even if it attacked a large number of people, the shadow's ability was not displayed..
Their bodies, which were about to scatter into the shadows, fell out, vomiting blood as the mana link was broken..
Moment.
The attention of the warlocks was focused..
Emerging from the darkness, they reached nearly ten, and magic used simultaneously targeted Roman Dmitry..
however.
they didn't know.
Felix and the wizards who dealt with Roman Dmitri.
Spread out on the floor, Roman Dmitry's presence was acknowledged..
“To put it bluntly, the lord is the magician's natural enemy..”
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
Magic happening everywhere.
Roman Dmitri rushed towards the magical vortex..
