272The Second Coming of Heavenly Demon) (4)
that day.
Kevin wasn't the only one who couldn't go to bed..
“In the future war, in order for the Kingdom Alliance to win, we need you, who has been in harmony with Roman Dmitry. So leave this place to me. After defeating Hannibal, I will follow in a moment..”
Count Nicholas says.
Chris thought back to that moment..
Knowing that Count Nicholas' sacrifice would be meaningless the moment he hesitated, Chris gritted his teeth and chose to run away..
At the time I believed it was the only way.
Hannibal's aura was destructive, and I knew that he was a monster that could never be defeated with just a few attacks..
It was a complete defeat.
Leaving the collapsing Western Front behind, they could not bear to look back under the excuse of strategy..
And a few days ago.
I heard news from people about Count Nicholas..
“According to those who confirmed Count Nicholas's last appearance, he was killed by Hannibal before he could last long. He was a true prosecutor. If Count Nicholas had not stopped the Kronos Empire, we might have been exterminated without being able to escape from the Western Front..”
It was miserable.
The person who delivered the message tried to ease his guilt by saying that Count Nicholas was everyone's benefactor, but Chris stared at the sky helplessly as the feeling of helplessness took over his body..
Following Roman Dmitry, I lived a life of going back and forth between life and death..
Although he has made rapid progress, paradoxically, the stronger he becomes, the more he realizes that he is nothing more than a frog in a well..
the world was wide.
In order to remain by Roman Dmitry's side, I couldn't rationalize every defeat just because the world was big..
Barbossa.
Hannibal.
strong people like him.
If we can't do anything against such monsters, things like Count Nicholas will inevitably happen again..
Even then, is it right to survive through someone else's sacrifice?.
No, even if he survives like that, can he say that he is needed by Roman Dmitry?.
I gritted my teeth.
Chris's goals were too high to collapse from a sense of self-destruction..
Roman Dmitry.
I wanted to surpass him.
If I keep falling into a sense of self-destruction like this, I don't think I'll ever be able to say that I will surpass Roman Dmitry again..
chuck.
I picked up a sword.
It was from then on..
Chris fell into swordsmanship alone..
How can I use swordsmanship faster and more powerfully?.
If he had enough sword skills to assist Count Nicholas, he would have defeated Hannibal through a joint attack with him..
My mind was in a complicated state. Roman Dmitry's battle and the secret story of Knight Commander Jonathan.
He unfolded them brilliantly and constantly swung his sword to advance to a new level..
always.
Chris looked at Roman Dmitry from afar..
I really wanted to receive direct instruction for a day or two, but I couldn't do that because Roman Dmitry told me to improve on my own..
Memories of that time came to mind one by one..
How did Roman Dmitry swing his sword and why did he swing it that way?.
From the way Roman Dmitry accepts Mana to even his trivial habits, the years that have accumulated have remained intact in his mind..
My thoughts were endless.
Earnestness dug into the truth that had never been seen before..
‘The Lord's method does not focus on the explosive power of the aura..
Just by accepting mana as is and preserving its essence, the aura appeared in a completely different form..
It's so different from the way the world teaches..
Some may call that method heretical, but I learned from my master's side that I cannot assert that the correct answer prescribed by the world is actually the correct answer..’
The correct answer is.
There is only one who defined the correct answer in the first place..
He made dishes using the continental method, sprouted using Roman Dmitry's method, and created his own method combining the two..
It cannot be said that Roman Dmitry's method is unconditionally correct..
Since I had already accepted the Continent's method, I needed a method that could fully demonstrate the strengths of both..
The sun sets.
the sun has risen.
As time passed by endlessly, Chris fell into a trance alone..
And from a certain moment.
patter.
Patter-patter.
Bone metamorphosis).
The body began to undergo dramatic changes..
* * *
It was early morning.
Pookie and Volkan went out to the training ground with disheveled faces..
“what brings you here… … huh?”
“Great, Chris. My face seems to glow.”
Their eyes widened..
They were called by Chris and reacted with embarrassment at their appearance, which had changed significantly from what they remembered..
The person who was always called Dmitry's handsome man was Chris..
However, with his white skin and flowing blonde hair, it seemed as if Chris' appearance had been upgraded several levels..
however.
Chris didn't listen to compliments about his appearance..
“From now on I will attempt an attack against you. If you stop the attack, I'll give you a year's salary..”
“Are you serious??”
“I won't say anything else later.”
The look in his eyes changed..
Although they received considerable compensation for following Roman Dmitry, Puky and Volkan, born war mercenaries, were willing to go to any lengths when it came to money..
So they followed Roman Dmitry wholeheartedly.
This was because he was a person who not only enforced loyalty, but also provided a clear reward for the hard work..
Chris says.
It was a mistake.
I knew that his swordsmanship was as fast as lightning, but I couldn't say that they were easy..
both held swords.
In a tense atmosphere, Chris said.
“Exactly 10 seconds later. I will cut off Volkan's top from the front, and then cut off Pookie's hair..”
“……What are you doing now??”
It was an absurd situation..
It was clearly a form of training to block attacks, but Chris also told me how he would attack and when to do it..
I felt ignored.
Even if they fought a hundred times, they weren't confident that they could beat Chris in every one of them, but blocking a single attack was a completely different matter..
There was no chance of defeat. Her slightly flushed face betrayed the fact that her pride had been hurt..
1candle.
2candle.
I swallowed dry saliva..
Counting the time in their minds, they both raised their mana when it reached 9 seconds..
That moment.
flash.
pot.
the wind blew.
Before Chris could even register how he had moved, pieces of Volkan's top and Pookie's hair were flying into the sky..
there was no pain.
In fact, since the attack did not contain 'murderous intent', no skin was cut, but the two looked mesmerized as they looked at the things flying in the air..
It was fast.
Even after being attacked, I couldn't understand how I was attacked..
“……How on earth?”
Chris raised his sword.
last few days.
He has entered new territory..
In the midst of the pain of his body being broken and his muscles torn, Chris gained strength he had never experienced before..
Roman Dmitry's Martial Arts.
It wasn't even Commander Jonathan's secret prayer..
his own.
Chris has entered the ranks of pioneers..
* * *
It was a peaceful day.
The Kronos Empire army, which had been spending time with guards stationed, was shocked by the report from the scouts..
“Now Roman Dmitry is coming here with his troops.!”
enemy advance.
a meeting has been convened.
For them, the skirmishers' report was completely unbelievable..
“Roman Dmitry must be crazy! It's an all-out war against an army of 300,000 people.!”
“Hasty judgment is prohibited. Even just looking at the fighting on the Southern Front, Roman Dmitry proved to be well-versed in tactics. The enemy's advance may be for strategic reasons that we do not anticipate, and in reality we do not wish for an all-out war. So you have to stick to your current position. If you leave it hastily, you never know what might happen..”
Was it because it was an unusual situation?.
Rather, a conflict of opinion arose..
In a confusing situation where the voices of the leaders were mixed up, the Duke of Bamford showed an angry expression..
Kwaang!
“Everyone lower your voice.”
Anger boiled over..
It was only then that the leaders fell silent due to Duke Bamford's bloody spirit..
“It doesn't matter what Roman Dmitry's intentions were. The problem is that they dare to provoke an all-out war against the Kronos Empire. Isn't it really the same thing? It is believed that a single kingdom can win an all-out war against the Kronos Empire. From now on, it is a matter of pride. If we do not break the momentum of Roman Dmitry, who holds his head high, it is certain that even if we win, we will be ridiculed by the continent..”
30A cowardly commander who concentrated on conquering Goseong even though he had an army of 10,000..
It was an unacceptable situation..
If the enemy was able to induce his own anger, it could be said to have been a spectacular success..
trap?
wasn't worried.
Whatever the enemy has prepared, we will crush it with overwhelming force..
“Command the soldiers of the Kronos Empire. From now on, we will personally punish Roman Dmitry..”
“I obey orders.”
the wick is on fire.
now.
Rather than complicated strategies, only the power shown by the spear knife will determine victory or defeat in the battlefield..
* * *
above the plain.
Troops from both armies flocked.
There was an overwhelming difference in numbers..
While the Kronos Empire continued to surge like a tidal wave, Roman Dmitry's army soon saw its end..
Their troops could not be said to be small..
Troops that had retreated from the Western Front also joined him, but the troops of the Kronos Empire were only large enough to overwhelm him..
at certain intervals.
formed a line with each other.
At a time when tension was rising, Roman Dmitry walked towards the enemy..
Jump and run.
one step, one step.
narrowed the distance.
Then, he stopped and raised his voice towards his enemies..
“I am Roman Dmitry of the Principality of Dmitry. Request a great battle to the Kronos Empire.”
Battle of Daejeonsa Temple.
people murmured.
I thought that maybe Roman Dmitry wanted a great battle, but when what I imagined actually happened, various emotions boiled over..
Some were shocked, some were surprised, and some were angry..
The emotion that made up the majority of them was anger..
At this place where Roman Dmitry mentioned the Battle of Daejeon, there was Hannibal, who was not an ordinary swordsman but ranked second in the Kronos rankings..
That fact.
Roman Dmitry didn't know either..
However, Hannibal's expression distorted at the fact that he wanted a battle at Daejeon..
“I will deal with you..”
“No, it is not allowed..”
It was the Duke of Bamford..
The other person's intentions were very clear..
Roman Dmitry's intention is to bring about practical benefits and atmosphere at the same time by disposing of the powerful sword possessed by the Kronos Empire..
Hannibal's skills were recognized by the Kronos Empire..
No matter how Roman Dmitry was, it was impossible to guarantee that he would defeat Hannibal, but it was necessary to prepare for the possibility..
Barbossa and Hannibal.
If these two fight, who will win?.
Hannibal would definitely win, but it was impossible to defeat him in just seven attacks like Roman Dmitry..
Now it was a fact that even the Kronos Empire acknowledged..
Roman Dmitry was not a frog born in a well, but a strong man worthy of being considered number one on the continent..
then.
There was no reason to accept it..
The power of the Kronos Empire needs to be proven through results, not through major battles like this..
‘Roman Dmitry. Do you really want to fight with force?.’
I still couldn't believe it.
3010,000 grand army.
Hannibal, Shefir, etc..
The Duke of Bamford found it absurd that he was only proposing a great battle against the Kronos Empire, which had overwhelming power..
If that's really all there is. The variable will not exist.
Because he analyzed the existence of Roman Dmitry in detail, the Duke of Bamford did not allow a confrontation between Roman Dmitry and Hannibal..
It was then.
Roman Dmitry said.
“If you are afraid of competing with me, please change your offer. I will send out two warriors to replace me, so how about you send out two warriors as well? If you refuse even this, then I will pretend that the Battle of Daejeon Temple never happened..”
That means.
It was a clear provocation that upset the Duke of Bamford..
