Moment.
The Valhalla Emperor burst into laughter..
“Hahahaha, amazing! It's really amazing!”
Contact from Count Santino.
It was just a few hours ago.
However, the Emperor of Valhalla was truly impressed by the sight that devastated Santino in such a short period of time..
“Roman Dmitry. You are the type of person I have experienced for the first time in my life. There have been many people who have shown hostility toward Valhalla, but not a single one has proven it with results like this. I admit it. You are perhaps a better fit for Valhalla than my lesser brothers who died without being able to do anything..”
I couldn't hide my smile.
My drowsy eyes came to life as if they had caught some interesting prey..
[This situation seems fun.]
“It's fun, very fun. You must have thought this. Ruenos, Portbell, Santino. If you clear these three places quickly, Valhalla will force his troops to retreat when Javier, where the warp gate is located, is threatened. In fact, your plan is completely absurd. I thought it was impossible to take down Santino before Hernard fell, but you made the absurd a reality..”
beyond the screen.
Roman Dmitry used the corpse as a chair to look at the Emperor of Valhalla..
The Emperor of Valhalla could not hold back his seething desire due to his arrogance in telling him to speak once and for all..
“by the way. There is something you are greatly mistaken about. The thought that Valhalla would not be able to give up the warp gate. No, more precisely, I think we will only stick to the straight attack method in this crazy game where we are rushing at each other. Roman Dmitry. I acknowledge you wholeheartedly. Unlike the old-fashioned guys who describe themselves as warriors, you are a predator and know how to win a war. That's why I have no choice but to do my best to defeat you..”
Zech.
I put my face close to the screen..
Shiny madness shook as if it would pierce through both eyes..
“Javier's warp gate has already been destroyed. Even if you capture Javier, it means you can't use the warp gate to threaten us. So, what do you plan to do now? Now that we have suffered enormous losses and given up on the warp gate, what can Dmitry do before Hernad falls? Please refrain from making romantic claims about using Valhalla's public sentiment to turn the situation around. Because I already killed all the people who said things like that..”
grinned, laughed.
It was fun.
The Emperor of Valhalla did not study tactics separately..
However, having been born with imperial blood, he knew well how to utilize the overwhelming position of the Valhalla Empire..
Valhalla has always been in a position of strength.
In order to win, it was enough to choose options that the opponent, who was bound to be weak, did not want, rather than using ingenious strategies..
Dmitry.
It was clear what they wanted.
rebel counterattack.
In order to control the situation, Dmitry boldly pushed in his troops and attracted the attention of the Valhalla imperial family..
to prevent them from concentrating their forces on Hernad..
It was normal for Valhalla to follow Dmitri's intentions in order to reduce damage, but Emperor Valhalla focused on the essential problem..
Whether Dmitry goes on a rampage or not..
attacked hernad.
All those who cried out for public sentiment were killed, and the warp gate was destroyed to prevent them from reaching the Imperial Palace of Valhalla..
then.
Although there may be damage, all of Dmitry's options are blocked..
In a game of chicken running towards each other.
The Valhalla Emperor directly attacked his opponent..
“Roman Dmitry. On the day Dmitry falls apart, I will visit Dmitry and see your face in person. Regretting past choices. What kind of face does Dmitry's devil, stained with defeat and despair, look like? I'm really looking forward to that day..”
* * *
It was a one-sided conversation.
communication was lost.
The Emperor of Valhalla did not want an answer from Roman Dmitry, as if he would only hear it as a result..
two days later.
Allied forces reached Javier.
Valhalla's warp point was not far away, and the castle gates, which had been closed just a few days ago, were wide open as if welcoming Roman Dmitri..
It was a bloodless entry. As we entered, Chris was busy moving around and assessing the surroundings..
yet.
Chris reported the situation with a stern expression..
“It is as the Emperor of Valhalla said. The warp gate has been completely destroyed beyond repair, and Javier's forces seem to have already withdrawn. First of all, it was confirmed that there were no traps such as magic bombs..”
Destruction of Warp Gate.
It was a bold decision.
Warp gates, which are considered a product of magical culture, require enormous manpower and resources to install just one..
In the past, the warp gate installed by Edwin Hector for war was only of a low level..
However, the warp gate here in Javier was a top-class warp gate capable of moving hundreds of thousands of troops at once, and destroying it meant astronomical losses..
That's not all.
If completely destroyed, it will take a long time to recover..
And by destroying the few warp gates in the north, the Valhalla Empire made a bold decision despite knowing that mobility would be problematic..
It was an absurdly unconventional decision..
In a situation where Hernad's capture was just around the corner, it was far from common sense to push Dmitri into a corner, even giving up on Javier..
Emperor Valhalla.
His tendencies were revealed..
There must have been other options, but he chose the extreme, like a cat playing with a mouse..
The reason was simple.
I liked this method more.
Seeing Dmitry pushing forward as if he would not back down, he instead held out a red cloth like a matador and came to the front..
If you want to try it, give it a try. He showed his will to face what was being attacked head on..
Chris said.
“……It seems there is no way to help Hernad. There are two more warp points in the north aside from Javier, but while traveling there Hernad is bound to fall. On the contrary, if we delay, our escape route may be blocked. My lord, you must defeat this force..”
took a step back.
Chris thought there was no need to overdo it..
however.
“It's fun.”
Roman Dmitry actually laughed at the situation in front of him..

Day 10, Hernad.
The magical defenses repaired overnight were meaningless..
In the barrage of flares that decorated the sky, the blue shield shattered like glass..
Clink!
Crumbling rumbling.
“March on!”
“Today is the day to wipe out the rebels.!”
It was the beginning of hell.
Cheokcheokcheok.
Once again a ladder was hung on the castle wall..
At first, the rebels actively fought back by spraying things like boiling oil, but now due to the depletion of supplies, there was nothing they could do other than stabbing weapons..
The arrows are already out of stock.
In an instant, the walls of the castle were swarming with the emperor's soldiers, and the rebels gritted their teeth and struggled..
“die!”
deeply.
I stabbed the spear with all my might..
Although he succeeded in killing the imperial army in a surprise attack, he was unable to survive the attacks coming from all directions..
I was hacked to pieces in an instant..
On the wall, the rebels, who had somehow made up the qualitative difference with their numerical superiority, now saw more enemies than allies..
“How dare these guys!”
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
on the castle wall.
The Duke of Vieto went on a rampage.
Already drenched in blood, he rushed towards the imperial army and slaughtered them..
“Stop the Duke of Vieto... … Wow!”
“Ahh!”
Screams erupted from all directions..
As the halberd swung with an eerie sound, several imperial troops were torn apart at once..
As if that wasn't enough to satisfy him, Duke Vieto swung his halberd several times..
I cut, cut, and cut again, scattering the blood of my enemies, but no matter how many times I killed them, the sight of the imperial army before my eyes did not shrink..
‘……Today is the last day.’
ten days.
The sixth day after full-scale close combat began.
reached the limit.
In fact, it was a miracle that I survived until now..
There had been a difficult situation for a few days due to the overwhelming difference in power, but the rebels managed to hold on, risking their lives..
And the common people of Hernad also helped the rebels..
They risked their lives by transporting supplies and using crude farming tools, but they could not survive for long with such power..
at last.
most are dead.
With less than 50,000 troops left, the Duke of Vieto acknowledged that he could not hold out any longer..
‘Valhalla. How far have you fallen?.’
a few days ago.
I heard about Marin..
The people of Valhalla finally responded to the rebels' call, and the Emperor of Valhalla showed an unconventional response by killing them all..
It was an embarrassing situation..
I knew that the Emperor of Valhalla was a cruel person, but I did not know that he would directly deny the public sentiment..
The overwhelming fear forcibly suppressed the public sentiment that was trying to rise up..
It was clearly thought that the fire of public sentiment had a powerful force to turn the situation around, but Emperor Valhalla suppressed the situation with a reign of terror that went beyond him..
and.
Dmitry's situation was not good either..
When I heard that Javier's warp gate was destroyed, even a glimmer of hope disappeared..
‘Emperor Valhalla. That's really cruel..’
rebel.
They were pushed to the brink..
Roman Dmitry showed great deeds that could only be acknowledged, but the common sense-destroying judgment of the Emperor Valhalla did not allow for even the slightest twist..
I had no regrets about dying.
However, I was disappointed that there was no room for change in Valhalla in the future, and I felt sorry for Roman Dmitry, who had to take responsibility for the defeat..
Kwasik!
The Royal Knight's head was blown off..
Trampling their corpses, Duke Vieto let out a heavy breath..
“OK! Come on! Even if I die here, I will not turn my back on you.!”
he had a hunch.
afternoon of the tenth day.
At the end of today, I will end my eventful life..
* * *
distance from the castle walls.
Looking at the walls of Hernard that had turned into hell, Count Gomes looked fed up..
“persistent guy.”
ten days.
It took longer than expected.
According to the initial strategy, it was thought that Hernad would be defeated in about seven to eight days, but the resistance of the rebels was very fierce..
Moreover, the problem was the people joining the rebels..
Although they were not a great force, they could not take down Hernad at once due to their increasing numbers..
slowly.
gnawed at the opponent.
And now, at last, the end of this terrible civil war has been seen..
‘Once the rebels are eliminated, Roman Dmitri will have no other choice. By the way, Duke Vieto is a person I really don't understand. If His Majesty, the Emperor of Valhalla, had followed the trend of power when he ascended to the position of emperor, he would have lived a life of wealth and glory even now. Tsk tsk, why did you bring death upon yourself with this choice?.’
I was foolish.
Thanks to Duke Vieto's departure, new faces were able to take power in Valhalla..
Within three to four hours at the earliest.
It seemed like it would bring down Hernad..
Count Gomes, who was watching the situation with a relaxed expression, confirmed that the magic communicator light came on..
red light.
It was urgent.
For a moment, I received the communication with a stern face..
Beep.
“what's going on?”
[Count Gomes. Bring back some of your troops right now..]
Beyond the communicator.
I heard the voice of Marquis Belfir..
Count Gomes frowned and said in a nonsensical tone..
“What on earth does that mean? The high point is now in sight. If we push a little further, we may be able to capture Hernad, but we cannot defeat our forces now. If that happens, the rebels might come back to life.…….”
[Hey you bastard! listen to me straight.]
suddenly screamed.
The Marquis of Belfir expressed his anger to the point where his emotions were felt through the communicator..
[This is an order from His Majesty the Emperor. If you don't want to be dragged to the gallows and hung, call your troops back right away.!]
order to retreat.
Count Gomes looked down at the magic communicator with a puzzled face..
