269The Second Coming of Heavenly Demon) (1)
Immediately after the capture of Rascal.
Contrary to the Kronos Empire's expectations that he would return to the western front, Roman Dmitry instead headed to Kortas, a strategic location in eastern Kronos..
It played the same role as a rear camp on the southern front of the Kingdom of Cairo..
All materials and personnel moving from the Kronos Empire to the east used Kortas' warp gate, and in some cases, when the warp gate was broken, a warp gate located hundreds of kilometers away was the only means of transportation..
When Kronos heats up his pursuit.
Roman Dmitri arrived in Kortas accompanied by one person..
“……The border is too strict.?”
I think he was around mid 30s..
The man looked anxious.
His name was Nelson, and he neither belonged to Dmitry nor was he a volunteer trained professionally in combat..
Nevertheless, he followed Roman Dmitry..
All other troops returned to the Western Front, but Nelson, who had been hiding nearby, headed toward Kortas, leaving the burning Rascal behind..
and now.
The destination is right in front of you.
On tight guard, Roman Dmitry said.
“From now on, I will secure the way..”
seeped into the darkness.
Roman Dmitry approached the castle wall and climbed up it in an instant with eye-popping quick movements..
There was no sound from above.
The image of a soldier guarding all around on the castle wall remained the same, but through the suffocating tension, a rope fell down..
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I knew it was a signal to use the rope..
Nelson held on to the rope and climbed up, only to see what had happened on the wall..
‘……Kronos' soldiers died standing up.’
I felt like my heart was sinking.
The soldiers on guard lost focus in that posture, and Roman Dmitry seemed to have purposely placed them there to delay detection..
There was definitely a reason why people praised it.
If the person who commissioned him was not Roman Dmitri, he would not have participated in this dangerous plan..
From now on.
It was a series of assassinations.
Roman Dmitry took the first step and took care of the people presumed to be guards, and thanks to this, Nelson was able to enter without much risk even though he was in the middle of enemy territory..
This operation had to be carried out secretly..
Therefore, Roman Dmitry did not bring any soldiers with him, and was concerned that there would be a power vacuum during the move to Kortas, so he sent soldiers, including Chris, to the Western Front..
at least 3 days.
needed time.
If the forces of the Kingdom Alliance are destroyed before then, there will be no choice but to continue a very difficult fight from then on..
‘There it is.’
Nelson's eyes lit up..
Finally, we reached our destination.
As it was the most important place in Cortas, the security system was tight, with only a dozen soldiers visible at first glance..
But I wasn't too worried.
Roman Dmitry's figure, permeating the darkness, could not be detected by the soldiers' abilities, and when his presence was revealed, dozens of people were instantly eliminated..
Not even a chance to scream.
There was no time to signal..
By the time I realized that the person next to me had fallen, my own neck had already turned in the opposite direction..
The board has been laid.
Roman Dmitry looked at Nelson and said:.
“From now on it's your turn.”
“All right.”
huge structure.
At the sight of the large warp gate, Nelson swallowed his saliva and walked forward..
* * *
Nelson's Identity.
He was a warp gate engineer..
He was also called the best engineer by combining Cairo and Dmitry, and he was drafted into the operation at the request of Roman Dmitry..
it wasn't compulsory.
The amount of money offered by Roman Dmitry as a reward for the success of the operation was truly enormous, and he simply judged that it was worth risking his life for..
the problem is.
Weeeeeeenn-
The emergency bell rang.
The fact that someone was operating the warp gate alerted the automatic security system to the presence of an intruder..
Bright lights arose from all directions..
The loud sound of a group of people running here was heard along with the clank, clank, and it was difficult for Nelson to concentrate on his work as his heart was pounding..
my hands were shaking.
There was only one person who could protect him, Roman Dmitri..
If he was breached, there was no way Nelson could save his life..
It was then.
“Just focus on your work. I will take care of the enemies..”
Roman Dmitry's voice.
I took a deep breath..
this operation.
I only saw Roman Dmitri and accepted him..
A person who always leads situations that people say are impossible to victory, and takes responsibility for any sacrifices made in the process..
That's why my hands stopped shaking when I heard Roman Dmitry's words..
When considering attractive offers, people said that Roman Dmitry was worth trusting..
work resumed.
I was planning to take control of the warp gate from now on..
Cut off all other coordinates connected to the Kronos Empire and connect new coordinates.
From then on, Kortas' warp gate could no longer be said to be for the Kronos Empire..
Just as Edwin Hector took over rear positions to capture the southern front, Roman Dmitry did the same..
The work was fast.
While I was quickly operating the warp gate, I heard a sound behind me that made me not even dare to turn around..
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
“Roman Dmitry!”
“attack!”
enemies have appeared.
He heard the sound of weapons clashing and people screaming, but Nelson gritted his teeth and never looked back..
The moment you see that terrible scene. I felt like I couldn't get the job done properly. The screaming continued while I was working like that..
As the explosion occurred, intense heat and wind blew, but Roman Dmitry blindly trusted the fact that there was no one directly attacking him..
I was out of breath..
He, who was concentrating on his work with a red face, finally looked back with a bright face..
“succeeded!”
Moment.
Nelson's expression was filled with astonishment..
Beyond the reliable back of Roman Dmitry.
An innumerable number of troops were torn apart and scattered on the ground..
Then I realized.
While he was working, a one-sided massacre occurred..
* * *
When I first told you my plans.
In Cairo, the leaders of Dmitry's coalition reacted with bewilderment..
“……Are you saying that after destroying Rascal to distract the opponent, you will rob Kortas' warp gate? This is a very reckless operation. Even if we successfully carry out the operation and secure the warp gate, we will be at a disadvantage in battles outside the walls due to the extreme difference in power from the beginning..”
Kronos.
They brought with them hundreds of thousands of troops..
I trust Roman Dmitry, but attacking first when focusing on defense wasn't enough was tantamount to suicide..
Roman Dmitry said.
“I understand what you are worried about. In terms of objective power, Kronos is overwhelmingly superior, and people think that Dmitry's victory will be protecting the western front from the attacks of the Kronos Empire. But my idea of victory is different. Rather than bragging about victory over the fact that the enemy is retreating by simply holding on and holding on, I hope for a situation where the Kronos Empire clearly admits defeat. To get that result, we can't just focus on defense. In the end, even if it means seeing blood, you have to bite into Kronos' flesh and achieve clear results that will make them tremble with fear..”
Kronos' Attitude.
I didn't like it.
The sight of them behaving indifferently touched Roman Dmitry's heart..
but.
In a situation that was generally unacceptable, a high-ranking nobleman in Cairo asked:.
“It's not that we don't trust Roman Dmitry. The problem is that the Kronos Empire proved through the war in Dmitri that it can attempt warp without using the warp gate. If they use the warp to directly attack Kairos or other bases. At that time, there is no choice but to be caught up in confusion..”
“you're right. As you just mentioned, the Kronos Empire used unknown technology that was unknown to the world. But that ability is not absolute. Whether it is a limitation of number of people or a limitation of time. There are definitely trigger conditions for warps that do not utilize warp gates. If there were no limitations to their capabilities, it would be advantageous for them to choose a method of attacking their home base directly without going through the Western Front in the first place. Nevertheless, waging war on the Western Front would be tantamount to proving one's own limitations..”
perhaps.
The Kronos Empire may have deliberately not used the warp to prove its power..
whatever the reason.
Roman Dmitry had no intention of doing nothing out of concern for unchecked power..
“This war is a matter of survival for both countries. If there is any possibility of utilizing warp, we need to confirm its existence in the board we control. Please keep in mind. We are not waging this war to survive against the Kronos Empire from the standpoint of the weak. Equally country to country. To those who think of themselves as the rulers of the continent, we are here to prove that we are not their dogs..”
It was a bloody moment..
Roman Dmitry's sharp momentum made people swallow their saliva..
he always.
Overturned an impossible situation.
Since he is not the type of person to spout lies, I was in awe of him talking about an all-out war with Kronos..
“The moment you occupy Cortas. Even in the Kronos Empire, a ‘vacancy’ is bound to occur. Our goal is to isolate the armies of the Kronos Empire in the east and destroy them through all-out war. We need just one victory. If the Cairo and Dmitry alliance alone achieves victory in a war where armies clash against each other, then the spark of counteroffensive will spread throughout the continent..”
It was always the same.
A life that does not allow even a single retreat.
Therefore, Roman Dmitry, who was only from a baronial family, reached his current position..
One side of the conference room.
A man who was watching the conversation with interest asked in a serious tone:.
“Can I ask you one favor??”
“please speak.”
identity of the man.
It was the Marquis Valentino..
A representative figure of the centrist faction, he became a pro-Dmitry leader as a nobleman of the Kingdom of Cairo..
He said.
“I always support Roman Dmitry. But just one thing. After this war is over, promise me that you will make me one new sword. No, I eagerly await Roman Dmitry's collection every time, but wouldn't it be too much to not release a new product? Even if they auction it off instead of giving it to me. As long as you release a new sword, we will fully support Roman Dmitry's operation, even if it means wiping out the power of the Valentino family that has not been revealed to the public..”
he is true.
It was a different species.
It was the Marquis Valentino who expressed his desire to collect more than the country's survival..
* * *
sudden.
A bright light arose.
Through the warp gate, a group of troops appeared..
Cheokcheokcheok-
Soldiers walking out in perfect order.
It all started with Marquis Valentino..
He brought all his private soldiers, and then the soldiers of the Kingdom of Cairo appeared one after another..
Meanwhile, Marquis Valentino wore the ‘Blaze’ he purchased from Roman Dmitri on his waist..
Just by looking at the brilliantly shining scabbard, you could see how much care he had put into taking care of Blaze..
and.
The soldiers of the Principality of Dmitry appeared..
Figures such as Viscount Lawrence and Viscount Conrad accompanied their soldiers, and in an instant, a large number of troops filled the area around the warp gate..
It may be a shabby number compared to Kronos' hundreds of thousands of armies..
However, having decided to go to war, they underwent intense training under the guidance of Roman Dmitry..
however.
There was an unexpected person.
He was Kevin..
“meet you lord.”
“You have overcome Simma..”
“It's thanks to my lord for looking after me..”
leaving Dmitry.
He headed to Adelian..
I was planning to use the warp gate there, but I learned something new during the trip..
The soldiers of the Duchy of Dmitry are waiting under Roman Dmitry's orders..
When Kevin was told that he would move straight to Kortas' warp gate once he captured it, he naturally chose to join..
The reunion was short..
As long as you're safe, it's okay..
Roman Dmitry shifted his gaze and raised his voice to the troops waiting for his orders..
“From now on, we will turn eastern Kronos into a wasteland, starting from Cortas. So that the Kronos Empire becomes angry at our actions. To start, scour Cortas right now and kill any enemies you find.!”
people fell.
The soldiers spread out in an instant, showing a ferocious force..
Kronos East.
Strategically located Cortas.
It took less than a day for the place to be completely taken over..
and the next day.
The Duke of Bamford received the news..
