267Tue First Continental War (5)
At first, people didn't realize that the white-haired wizard used 8-circle magic..
Because I haven't heard or seen it.
Even when the sky was flashing, they had full faith in the power of the magical defenses that lined the castle walls..
flashing.
the sky shone.
In a sky full of dark clouds, a single beam of light exploded onto the castle wall..
Kwaang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.!
It was a huge explosion.
A magic defense was activated and dozens of magic shields were formed in the air, but the lightning that seemed to shatter them caused the soldiers of the Cairo and Dmitry Alliance to lose their balance and fall to the ground..
The sky I looked up at with a lost face was truly like a harbinger of destruction, and magic shields and lightning clashed violently, covering the entire sky..
the problem is.
it was just the beginning.
The sky was turning white, and lightning continued to strike as if it was spewing out anger..
Crumbling rumbling.
Kwaang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.!
It was truly an overwhelming sight..
The wizards who set up the magic defense boasted that even 7-circle magic could last at least ten days, but every time lightning struck, the magic shield cracked and began to break down one by one..
Even people ignorant of magic could understand what the sight meant..
If things continued like this, it was clear that the magic defense would not be able to hold out for even 30 minutes and would be completely destroyed..
at that time.
shouted the Marquis of Vandenberg..
“Maximize the output of your magic defenses! Even the wizard of Kronos would not be able to maintain magic for a long time! If we buy time, chances will definitely come to us.!”
it was a struggle.
A hope based on common sense and not based on hard facts..
The wizards stepped forward..
Although they created magic and infused magic into the magic defenses, the reality they faced was hopeless..
Kwaang!
Crumbling rumbling.
“Wow.”
“Wow.”
The wizards are gone.
The act of infusing magical power meant a link, and the impact of the blast on the magic defense was transmitted, even if only slightly, to the wizards..
With that alone, the wizards couldn't endure..
Some fell down screaming, while others vomited out what was inside..
In particular, wizards with low circles lost consciousness as their circles shattered with just an indirect impact..
It was certain.
I won't be able to endure it.
The power used by the white-haired wizard completely destroyed the common sense that the Marquis Vandenberg had experienced so far..
‘……Is this what Count Fabius meant?.’
End the conversation.
Count Fabius explained to the leaders what the Duke of Bamford had said..
It was truly an arrogant statement..
I thought that the statement that he lost interest in war after learning of Kronos' true strength was a threat to suppress the opponent's initiative..
But the scene before my eyes was different..
The Cairo and Dmitri alliance had no choice but to watch helplessly as the other party attacked, and could not think of a way to counter it..
at last.
Like a death row inmate who gave up his head, I watched blankly, knowing that the magic defense would be destroyed..
I swallowed dry saliva..
Now, I felt like I was realizing what the war with Kronos meant..
‘The magic used by the white-haired wizard is clearly of the 7th circle or higher. If he was truly a magician of the 8th circle, the Kronos Empire was called the greatest power on the continent without revealing such an existence to the world..’
I was out of breath..
The Cronus Empire is a country that can conquer the continent just with its visible power, but if even its power not revealed to the world is beyond imagination, this war had no chance of winning..
Roman Dmitry was clearly a historical figure.
Considering the actions he had shown so far despite being from a weak country at such a young age, it could be said that he was definitely the only being who could stand against the Kronos Empire..
but.
The history of Kronos was built up layer by layer, and there was clearly a wall that could not be overcome by any single individual's strength..
That moment.
Kwaang!
The magic defense was broken..
And the lightning that struck immediately exploded on the castle wall, collapsing it in one fell swoop..
Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
the castle wall collapsed.
Only 10 minutes after the war started.
Cairo, Dmitry's coalition faces a despairing reality.
* * *
The moment the castle wall collapses.
The Duke of Bamford issued a thunderous command:.
“All forces, attack!”
“attack!”
“Waaaaaaaaa!”
The imperial forces rushed at once..
The presence of wizards in war was overwhelming, but it was the soldiers' close combat that ultimately decided the outcome..
Now that the meaning of the castle wall's existence had been lost, there was no longer any reason to hesitate..
The Cairo and Dmitri alliance couldn't just sit back and watch as the soldiers rushed in like crazy..
Papa Papa Pot.
an arrow was fired.
The soldiers of the empire fell to the ground screaming in despair from the rain of arrows, but that alone was not enough to stop all the enemy troops coming in like waves..
There were too many enemies.
The archers firing arrows, their hands shaking, knew that if they continued like this they would face their enemies..
It was then.
Above the castle walls, the wizards came out.
“Burning.”
Hwareuk.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Felix and the Phoenix Wizards.
Felix's presence flared up, and powerful flame magic was unleashed..
“Fire Storm).”
It was the magic of the 7th circle..
Felix has been honing his magic, and thanks to the power of Burning, he is temporarily able to use 7-circle magic..
A storm of flames raged. It was a disaster that even the Kronos Empire army could not avoid..
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Kwakwakwak!
“Wow!.”
“Hot, hot!”
Enemies are engulfed in flames.
Those who came into direct contact with the flames were burned black, and those in the area of flames fell to the ground, clutching their necks as the flames consumed their airways..
Phoenix wizards also continued to manifest magic..
Flames broke out everywhere, and the waves of troops seemed to evaporate in an instant..
Phoenix.
Certainly, they were upper class wizards in terms of magical power..
The reason why the leaders of the Western Front were confident in Mercury was because they trusted in perfect preparation and the existence of the Phoenix Wizards..
Under normal circumstances, their magic would have sorted out the situation..
However, there was a variable called a white-haired wizard. He manifested magic in the activities of Felix and the wizards..
“Wind Storm).”
Whining.
Hehehehe!
the wind blew.
The strong wind burned fiercely as it collided with the firestorm created by Felix..
Whereby.
Firestorm didn't do its job.
Fire Storm's ability is to sweep away the surrounding area with flames accompanied by the wind, but Wind Storm held Fire Storm tightly so that it could not move anywhere..
That wasn't all.
In the world of wizards, the difference between circles was absolute, and the winds of the Wind Storm swallowed up the Fire Storm at some point..
pot-
the wind dispersed.
As the flames flew, the leaders of the Western Front realized that even magic could not stop them..
white haired wizard.
It was an overwhelming presence..
He proved before his eyes what kind of presence a wizard is on the battlefield, and that even an 8th circle wizard can change the tide of battle with just one person..
The level beyond heaven was different..
Destroyed the magic defenses, collapsed the castle walls, and made Felix's magic useless with just one spell..
at last.
“enemies are coming!”
“Block it!”
The imperial army poured into the castle walls..
The moment they were about to attack the troops on the Western Front with their ferocious faces, a lightning-like aura fell from the sky..
Kwaang!
Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
“can't pass anymore!”
Explosion of powerful aura.
The identity of the being who swept away the enemies at once was none other than Count Nicholas..
* * *
The man who was once called the number one sword of Cairo.
he appeared.
He blocked the advancing enemy army, created an aura, and cut down the enemies..
flash.
Blood spurted out like a fountain..
Not only that, Count Nicholas rushed forward and cut down the enemies indiscriminately to prevent them from storming into the castle..
As mere soldiers, we were helpless..
A 5-star prosecutor.
He was so skilled in swordsmanship that he was called the best swordsman in Cairo, and when he blocked the way, his head was blown away..
Ranking match against Roman Dmitry.
That day, Count Nicholas was mortally wounded..
It was a serious injury that required him to concentrate on recuperation for a while, but it actually served as an opportunity for him to relax..
The title of number 1 in rankings.
The burden caused by this was considerable, knowingly or unknowingly, and as Daniel Cairo completely took power, he was able to escape complex issues and have his own time..
like that.
body recovered completely.
No, Count Nicholas's presence exploded as his skills became more powerful than before..
“die!”
Crumbling rumbling.
The knight of Kronos rushed forward.
It wasn't just one or two.
Two in front, three on each side.
They put pressure on Count Nicholas with 3-star and 4-star auras, but Count Nicholas calmly blocked the enemies' attacks with simple steps..
light flashed.
There was a violent impact and at first glance it seemed as if Count Nicholas was being pushed back, but with each impact the enemy's head was blown off..
“……?!”
I couldn't even see it clearly.
The moment he was about to attempt a further attack due to the fact that Count Nicholas had blocked him, he let go of the strings of consciousness..
and then.
Other Aura swordsmen also fell down, spewing blood..
Just as wine ripens, Count Nicholas's swordsmanship blossoms..
at the same time.
“Bow down!”
flash.
Over the head of Count Nicholas.
the wind has passed.
He was Chris..
After carrying out the operation against Roman Dmitry, he and Dmitry's soldiers immediately returned to the Western Front..
The only person left behind in the enemy camp is Roman Dmitry..
Chris helped Count Nicholas by manifesting an aura when the castle wall was collapsing..
It was fast.
Count Nicholas glanced at Chris' face..
‘Was Chris like this?.’
Regardless of the difference in aura.
It was a strike so fast and highly complete that even he himself could not guarantee that he could block it..
It was just as rumored.
People said that Roman Dmitry's subordinates were no less monsters than him..
Although Chris is still young, the swordsmanship he shows signifies a bright future..
After that, Dmitry's swordsmen appeared one after another and blocked the castle walls..
8Due to the variable of the circle wizard, the castle wall collapsed earlier than expected, but the enemy soldiers rushing in like a tidal wave were not sharp enough to penetrate the narrow space..
yet.
It was a situation worth trying..
Count Nicholas created an aura and shouted with mana in his throat..
Crumbling rumbling.
“Cairo, Dmitry's soldiers! Don't give up! The Western Front will not collapse like this.!”
* * *
on the castle wall.
Flora Lawrence surveyed the battlefield..
Thump, thump.
By using a ladder, the Kronos Empire attempted to enter the castle walls..
The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and lightning struck all the time, and a fierce battle took place on the ground with enemy soldiers trying to enter through the collapsed castle walls and those trying to break through the castle gates..
things were not good.
Flora Lawrence actively fired arrows while analyzing the situation in her head..
‘To carry out our plan, we need at least three days at the earliest. We judged that it would be possible to hold out with a wall, but if the wall collapsed from the first day, common sense calculations have no meaning..’
furthermore.
there was a problem.
The existence of an 8th circle wizard watching the situation from afar could have plunged the current situation, which was thought to be the worst, into an abyss..
Maybe that wasn't the only Kronos card..
The white-haired wizard was a great wizard unknown to the world, and the possibility that another unimaginably powerful person like him would appear had to be considered..
Kronos Empire.
It is a country that dominates the top rankings like Valhalla..
In the absence of Roman Dmitry, if rankers appeared, the odds of winning even in close combat were not very high..
then.
I had a question.
‘Is it right for us to protect the Western Front until the end? What Roman Dmitry wanted was to have enough time to carry out the operation, not necessarily to protect the Western Front. Protecting the collapsed castle walls is a task that requires greater sacrifice than expected. I need to make a decision quickly.’
War with Kronos.
It was no match for either qualitatively or quantitatively..
Although they were a strong army, they used human sea warfare tactics. If we responded in the same way, we were bound to end up in a corner at some point..
This situation was truly terrifying to her..
I felt like hope was disappearing due to the overwhelming presence of Kronos, but I believed in the existence of Roman Dmitri..
he.
will cause a reversal.
Therefore, it was necessary to gain time somehow, even if it was only for three days..
puck!
He put an arrow between the eyes of the enemy who climbed the castle wall..
Then, he quickly ran towards the Marquis Vandenberg..
“Commander!”
That too.
took part in the battle directly.
When the blood-stained Marquis Vandenburg checked on Flora Lawrence, she spoke in an urgent but firm tone:.
“There is no chance of winning like this! Abandon the Western Front, Order Plan B!”
Plan B.
In worst-case situations, appropriate decisions are needed..
