278The truth about Kronos (2)
It was an embarrassing sight..
The sudden appearance of pure whiteness and the sacred power she exerts.
As people watched in fascination, a group of troops led by a pure white knight appeared and swept the battlefield..
“Slay the hordes of evil!”
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
hundreds of prosecutors.
They all displayed auras..
People who were unable to distinguish between enemy and enemy at first understood the situation when they saw them slaughtering the imperial army..
I didn't know where the being appeared from..
What is certain is that they defined the Kronos Empire as an evil group and showed no hesitation against hundreds of thousands of enemies..
“Wow!”
“evil!”
Screams were heard from all directions..
The white aura cut down the soldiers of the Kronos Empire at once, and the enemy's belated resistance was meaningless..
The tide turned all at once. Mysterious beings overwhelmed hundreds of thousands of troops..
behind them.
The pure white knight walked along and shouted..
“Arrogant, greedy people! I warned you clearly. If they try to go beyond the authority granted to humans and color the continent with darkness, we can no longer just watch. But in the end, you accepted a power that should not be touched in order to realize your ambition of conquering the continent..”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The aura burned..
A pure white aura colored her presence..
“In the name of God, I will punish the evil hordes. Bless).”
pot-
Crumbling rumbling.
The energy of light spread everywhere..
it was a blessing.
Not only the swordsmen who followed her, but also Dmitri and the soldiers of the Cairo Alliance widened their eyes at the mysterious power of recovering their bodies..
It was a situation I couldn’t understand from beginning to end..
But now that she had directly mentioned the fact that she was an enemy of the Kronos Empire, Chris did not miss the golden opportunity..
“Soldiers! Follow me!”
I struck forward. He defined beings who displayed sacred power as allies and helped them attack the Kronos Empire..
from then.
A one-sided massacre occurred.
In the first place, the Kronos Empire, which struggled with the military power of one hundred men, had no way to stop the attack of Dmitry's soldiers, who recovered their stamina at once..
Above all, the power of the swordsmen who followed the White Knight was overwhelming..
The Duke of Bamford reacted with embarrassment to the series of situations that caught his eye..
‘……What the hell is this.’
this war.
It was an unexpected development..
I knew about the White Knight, but 'Shefir', who was mobilized to deal with her, disappeared because of Roman Dmitri..
The Kronos Empire still had overwhelming military power. Although we had a clear advantage in terms of numbers, we had no choice but to make a decision due to the changing situation..
‘If things continue like this, annihilation is inevitable..’
I gritted my teeth.
He was boiling inside, but he was not a stupid commander who put his soldiers at risk for his pride..
“All troops retreat! I will retreat to the old castle and plan for the future..”
retreat.
It was an unusual order..
The Kronos Empire, which knows no retreat, chose to flee in an unfavorable situation..
The troops quickly retreated..
Goseong.
It's small, but it's still a castle..
We decided that if we chose Mercury in the old castle, we could buy enough time until the follow-up troops of the Kronos Empire arrived..
It was the Duke of Bamford's best decision..
Even if we were reprimanded for defeat, we needed to make a decision to plan for the future rather than a crushing defeat that resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops..
however.
The Duke of Bamford's complexion turned pale when he reached his destination..
on the castle wall.
Beneath Dmitry's fluttering flag, a figure was seen causing flames..
The moment you realize it's Felix.
“……Damn it.”
The Duke of Bamford knew he had fallen into a trap..
* * *
It was the details that made the strategy complete..
When Roman Dmitry said that he would defeat the Kronos Empire in a direct confrontation, Flora Lawrence added one thing..
“Whether you win or lose in a head-to-head fight. The presence of ancient castles is very important. If they win, the Kronos Empire will likely choose the old castle as their last bastion, and if they lose, they can use the old castle to target the enemy's rear. Therefore, from now on, instead of obediently handing over food from the castle, we must hide in the castle's tunnels, where the enemy can never find them. And when the time comes. After securing the castle, you can choose whether to open the castle gate and attack the enemies, or block the enemy's escape route to the castle..”
I believed in Roman Dmitry.
However, it was the staff's role to pursue perfection, and Flora Lawrence's strategy was adopted with everyone's support..
sacred being.
It was an unexpected variable..
However, now that the Kronos Empire is retreating to Goseong, Goseong's troops remain faithful to their role..
“Fire Rain).”
Hwareuk.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Felix created fiery mana..
Due to his magic, which exerts an absolute presence on Mercury, flames fall from the sky and turn the earth into a sea of fire..
Kwaang!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“Wow!.”
The soldiers of the Kronos Empire heading towards the castle screamed in burning pain, and the soldiers following them reacted in confusion..
In front were the magicians of Phoenix who occupied the old castle, and in the back were the soldiers of the Dmitry and Cairo Alliance, led by the Holy Knights..
I was completely cornered..
If they had known that the castle would fall, they would have prepared in advance, but as they did not have any of the materials needed for a siege, they had no choice but to be helpless against the magic falling from the castle walls..
It was a song on all sides..
While they were panicking and not knowing what to do, the soldiers were massacred one-sidedly..
“The enemies are cornered.!”
“kill them all!”
pushed to the edge.
As the attacks came back and forth, the soldiers of the Kronos Empire fought back with a loss of will to fight..
hundreds of thousands.
numbers had no meaning.
The moment I lost my will to fight, defeat became a reality..
“Don't back down! We are Kronos! Kronos will never be defeated!”
Duke of Bamford.
he struggled.
Unlike the blood in his neck as he screamed, his face was stained with despair..
I couldn't believe it.
Because the defeat of the Kronos Empire is impossible.
The Duke of Bamford personally took on his enemies with his sword, but his eyes widened at the sight of a blind arrow..
puck!
“Ugh.”
arrow pierced the heart.
blood spread.
As my vision became blurry, I finally accepted reality..
this war.
The war against Dmitri, which everyone was sure would win, was a complete defeat for the Kronos Empire..
* * *
The victory or defeat of the war was decided in a single moment..
As defeat deepened and the commander collapsed screaming, the soldiers of the Kronos Empire gave up hope for victory even though they had overwhelming strength..
From then on I was in confusion..
Some fled to all directions for their lives, some gave up their weapons and surrendered, and some struggled to the end to protect the pride of the Kronos Empire and met deaths that prompted the decisions of the previous two groups..
finished.
a fierce war.
Knowing that the end was victory, Cairo and Dmitry's soldiers cried out in joy..
“we won!”
“Long live Dmitry!”
“Roman! roman!”
“Roman! roman!”
the name they chant.
Roman Dmitry.
Victory came from him.
If he had not dealt with Hannibal, the knights of Kronos, and Shephir, the wizard of the 8th circle, he would not have been able to guarantee victory even if a holy being appeared..
I didn't care that Roman Dmitry wasn't there..
They believed that the being they trusted would definitely come back..
A place filled with enthusiastic cheers.
Chris approached a person with a face drenched in blood..
It was a foreign existence.
On the battlefield, where corpses piled up like a mountain and blood flowed like a river, the pure white knight did not look like an ordinary human being..
Chris asked.
“Thank you for helping us. By the way, where on earth are you from??”
pure white knight.
It was a mysterious entity.
I had never heard of a rumor that there was a being like her on the Salamander Continent, but her remarks made it seem like she knew about the Kronos Empire from the beginning..
I couldn't understand from beginning to end.
The power she manifests, and the swordsmen who follow her. It was something that could not be hidden even if it was hidden..
The pure white knight saw Chris.
It was beautiful.
With pure white skin and blonde hair blowing in the wind, his appearance alone was enough to make you doubt that he was human..
She said.
“I am the only human nation that exists in Arcadia, beyond the endless mountains. This is Isabel, Queen of Luna..”
Arcadia.
Luna.
isabel.
Chris reacted in surprise to the unexpected series of words..
* * *
Shefir dies.
the passage was opened.
When Roman Dmitry entered the passage, he was not in the middle of the battlefield, but at the beginning of an endless mountain range..
First, I returned to Dmitry..
Roman Dmitry, who confirmed Isabelle's existence and victory in the war through magical communication, made an appointment in Kairos after Isabelle said she would like to meet him..
And the first place we headed to wasn't Adelian's warp gate..
Before leaving Dmitry, there was something I had to check first..
Dmitry's library.
I found an old book there..
It recorded the movements of known historical figures, and after checking several old books, I found some familiar names..
[Maximilian]
-A wandering swordsman who caused an uproar on the Salamander Continent. As a five-star aura swordsman, he traveled around the continent, dealing with so-called strong people, and caught the eye of Emperor Kronos and set out on his way to success. At that time, he took the last name of Maximilian and contributed to the Kronos Empire under the name of Count Maximilian. and… … He, who once ranked first in the Kronos rankings, died peacefully in the dark corners of history..
It was the actions of one person..
How the person who left a great mark on history lived, and detailed information about him was recorded in old books..
however.
There was something else that Roman Dmitry paid attention to..
Count Maximilian.
Before the name that people remember was born, a part of an old book said his real name..
-Count Maximilian. His real name is Sven..
Sven.
The shadow that attacked Dmitri.
That was his name.
If only Sven had been mentioned, Roman Dmitry would not have remembered the connection between the shadows..
[mystic]
-He is a mysterious being. He developed magic to manipulate space and caused a new uproar on the continent, but despite people's interest, he disappeared at some point. A wizard who once studied with him said his name was Mystic..
[Ellington]
-A long time ago. Born as the eldest son of the Ellington family in the Kronos Empire, he was a magical genius recognized by wizards on the continent. He awakened to the truth of magic at a young age and played a major role in the magical development of the Kronos Empire, but like Mystique, he disappeared at some point. Because of this, there was a lot of talk in the Kronos Empire. The ‘disappearance of wizards’ has always been a recurring event throughout history, and since no clear evidence remains, questions have been raised about Ellington’s very existence. The Ellington family also disappeared into history after the disappearance of its eldest son. There was a lot of speculation about his real name, and several names such as Sheroni, Sherpe, and Shefir were mentioned as his real name..
Mystique and Shephir.
They were also in old books.
If so, the existence of shadows did not fall from the sky..
It was clear that those who had made historic moves worthy of being recorded in ancient books still existed as 'shadows' for some reason..
This wasn't the only problem.
Roman Dmitry read Shefir's memories and recognized four names, the last of which shocked Roman Dmitry..
how.
What does that name mean?.
The last name was proudly revealed from the first page, not in an old book, but in the most brilliant book..
[Emperor Alexander]
Founder of Aura.
That was the last name that Roman Dmitry was looking for..
* * *
that time.
flash.
Emperor Kronos opened his eyes.
He woke up and frowned at the surging pain..
“……Is there anyone there? I asked if anyone was there!”
A dry, cracked voice.
Although his face was weak, his eyes showed intelligence that had never been seen before..
