381Tue Second Continental War (4)
Verde swallowed dry saliva..
A magic tower lord whose whereabouts cannot be found..
Wizards spread out on the floor.
And the menacing presence of Edwin Hector warned that things had gone terribly wrong..
‘If you tell the truth, you will die..’
I was sure.
It was a warning given by instinct..
According to the original plan, the plan was to understand the situation and silence him, but Verde made an effort to hide his expression and responded that he did not know what was going on..
“……What on earth does that mean? I only came here a month after reporting that a problem had occurred, and I don't know enough to explain anything. Rather, Prince Edwin Hector should provide an explanation. Where on earth is the Magic Tower Lord, and why did he attack the wizards of the sky? If you don't explain properly, I can't ignore this incident..”
like he said.
It was a situation that needed explanation..
As the wizards gathered around with stiff expressions, Edwin Hector looked around indifferently and said,.
“How strange. Why did Master, who usually didn't hide their conversations, use silence magic to block the conversation from leaking today? Why did the wizards in the sky stop Butler from checking the office, and why did you, who came running after hearing the news, try to organize the situation as if making excuses rather than getting angry after discovering the corpses?.”
“Please don't sell me with pointless speculation..”
“The situation is too complicated to be considered speculation. So I thought of this hypothesis. You are in league with the magic tower lord of the sky. There is no way that the entity called Vice Tower Lord, who takes the vacancy of the Magic Tower Lord, would not know the truth about the sky being ruled by Kronos. But what is the reason you rushed in with only a few wizards? This is not simply due to unexpected variables. If this leaks out, it means there will be problems that you can't handle..”
short time.
Edwin Hector grasped the situation..
With only fragmentary information, I drew a picture in my head..
“The Magic Tower in the Sky is a group formed by wizards who came after hearing about its greatest reputation on the continent. It would be impossible to subdue them all through mind control, so a few people like you would have maintained the power of the Magic Tower while hiding the truth. Verde. I think you came running in a huff for that reason, what do you think? Do you still think what I said was empty and pointless speculation?.”
The atmosphere was cold and frozen..
It was just a hypothesis.
It's nothing, it's a nonsense story.
However, Verde, who was pointed out to the right point, was unable to respond properly to the feeling that his thinking had stopped for a moment..
a split second reaction.
“It looks like he found out the truth..”
Edwin Hector laughed..
the hypothesis was true.
The Magic Tower in the Sky hid the truth to grow its power, and no one knew the truth except a few wizards who followed Verde..
So I had no choice but to hurry..
If Edwin Hector reveals the secret of the sky, the tower he worked so hard to build will collapse..
There was a tense feeling of tension..
That moment.
Breaking through the silence, Verde unleashed magic..
“attack now……!”
flash.
It's not going to fall out.
blinded.
Verde, who lost his eyesight for a moment, couldn't even finish the spell and showed a lost expression..
“Chain Lightning).”
Edwin Hector raises his finger.
In the space he pointed to, the wizards who had tried to carry out Verde's orders were lying charred and charred..
* * *
chain lightning.
3It's circle magic..
Although the magicians in the sky were at a sufficient level to react, no one noticed the magic occurring..
It was fast and powerful.
3It was hard to believe that it was a circle magic, so the wizards who were electrocuted by chain lightning died without even being able to resist..
“…….”
lost for words.
Verde's eyes wavered..
From what he knew, Edwin Hector was a 5th circle wizard, but the power he showed just now was definitely not that..
‘In order to use chain lightning with this level of power, it takes at least 6 circles, maybe more..’
There was confusion.
It was ridiculous..
Moment.
I had an ominous thought.
Edwin Hector may have been the reason why the magic tower lord in the sky disappeared..
“Butler, capture Verde..”
“yes.”
I never thought of rebelling.
Verde was captured and trapped by Edwin Hector's overwhelming magic power..
My head fell to the floor. Even with his arms tied, he couldn't hide his confusion..
It was as he expected..
world of spirit.
Edwin Hector, who fought a fierce battle there, exploded the darkness and absorbed the magic power of the Celestial Tower Master..
The amount of magical power was vast..
It went beyond what was acceptable in five circles, and the situation became dangerous enough to cause convulsions like the one Butler witnessed..
at that time.
The upper division showed its power.
The passage leading to the upper stage opened and mana was accepted, and as the circulation between the upper part and the circle took place, all the mana began to be absorbed..
It was truly a coincidence.
As time passed, the five circles grew bigger and stronger, completely exceeding the normal standards, and as if that wasn't enough, a new circle emerged..
around the heart.
Seven rings were created.
They said that what Edwin Hector lacked was not talent but time.
however.
The shortcomings were made up by absorbing the magic power of the Celestial Magic Tower..
It was a variable that even Roman Dmitry could not have predicted, and Edwin Hector achieved rapid growth in the short time that Verde was running..
tata tatak.
“What is this!”
“Edwin Hector! Free the Buddha Pagoda!”
Wizards heard the commotion and flocked..
They couldn't help but feel embarrassed..
In the eyes of the wizards who did not know the truth, it looked like Edwin Hector had captured the lord of the floating tower and slaughtered the wizards in the sky..
It was what I expected.
Knowing how he would be viewed, Edwin Hector took Verde hostage before the other wizards arrived..
Wizards flocking in.
In a situation where they showed a hostile attitude, Edwin Hector spoke without losing his composure..
“From now on I will show you the truth. image memory).”
in my head.
I made the memories I experienced directly into reality..
“It might be questionable to you. What on earth is going on? What on earth have I done to you, whom you have treated as your teacher?.”
Celestial Magic Tower Master.
it was his voice.
People's faces were stained with embarrassment.
Edwin Hector's remarks revealed the ugly truth, and the wizards who had shown hostility just now looked confused..
From then on, there was no need for an explanation..
The memory that the image memory tells, the truth of the sky. The clear reason for capturing Verde was completely proven..
yet.
memory was recovered.
Edwin Hector said, looking at the lost people.
“This is why I attacked the Celestial Wizards, and this is the Celestial truth that you did not know. The lord of the magic tower in the sky was Kronos' dog. On the outside, he pretended to care for wizards and criticized the Kronos Empire, which was behind the disappearance of wizards, but he satisfied his desires by gobbling up the circle of talented wizards..”
eyes were focused.
people were angry.
“Heaven has lost its way. But if you want to face the truth and right the wrongs…….”
Crisis was an opportunity.
Edwin Hector.
turned the situation around.
“Follow me. I will show you a new path.”
Two days before the invasion of Valhalla.
In the Kingdom of Hector, a variable that everyone did not expect occurred..
* * *
next day.
Unlike Hector's kingdom, which had passed a critical juncture, a hell of chaos unfolded on the border of Umberto..
Kwaang!
Rumbling. Rumbling..
the castle wall collapsed.
We had installed layers of magic defense in preparation for today, but there was no way to withstand the explosive magic attack of the Kronos Empire..
The walls collapsed only a few hours after the attack began..
Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed into the castle, and from then on, Umberto's soldiers had no choice but to face countless deaths..
“Stop the enemies... … Wow!”
“Wow.”
Screams were heard from all directions..
No matter where I looked, there was no hopeful sight..
Once breached, there was no way to stop the flames of death spreading throughout the area..
“Hang in there till the end! If this place is breached, there is no hope for Umberto's kingdom..”
deeply.
Kwasik!
Calderon Drake.
He created an aura and cut down his enemies..
He was already drenched in blood, and he showed no signs of retreating even as he faced countless waves of enemies..
I was planning to die right here..
I knew very well that if Umberto's best defense was breached like this, Umberto would collapse like a sand castle, starting with the front-line defensive positions..
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
created an aura.
While cutting down the knight of Kronos rampaging inside, he asked as if urging his subordinate..
“The reinforcements?”
“It seems impossible to get enough reinforcements to turn the situation around. As the riots in the lawless area become more severe, the punitive forces sent there are tied up, and as Valhalla sends troops near the Frankish border, Frankish and Redford are also preparing for a decisive battle with Valhalla. In the meantime, he said he would send his troops, but it is impossible to stop Kronos' large army with that alone..”
“damn!”
I distorted my expression..
I was at a loss.
A new kingdom union is created.
Calderon Drake saw the future.
It was thought that in this system following Roman Dmitry, it was possible to at least create a country worthy of a country, but the power of the empire that dominated the continent for a long time was too strong..
I wanted to somehow buy time with Umberto's own power..
Time for Roman Dmitry to escape the territory of Valhalla..
At least at this time when the empire revealed its ambitions, I wanted to show that the alliance of kingdoms was formidable even without Dmitry..
but.
There was no twist.
the truth was obvious.
If it had been possible from the beginning on their own, the Kingdom Alliance would not have been so desperate..
Phuwak.
cut down the enemy.
And then.
“Contact Dmitry right now. Unless reinforcements are sent, Umberto will not be able to hold out any longer..”
I felt like grasping at straws..
Contrary to vague expectations,.
a few minutes later.
Calderon Drake has heard a desperate report that even Dmitri is under attack by Kronos..
* * *
It was a familiar picture.
Beyond Dmitry's Walls.
The space became distorted, and Kronos' soldiers, led by Mystique, appeared..
“……Kronos, what a scary country..”
on the castle wall.
Knight Commander Jonathan swallowed dry saliva..
The continent was turned upside down.
The Kronos Empire attacked Umberto and Cairo at the same time, mobilizing more than a million troops, but sent separate troops to Dmitry..
Moreover, the shocking sight of so many troops moving without a warp gate once again made them realize who they were waging war against..
but.
Dmitry hasn't just been playing around either..
what happened that day.
left as a scar.
Many people died the day Dmitry was attacked, and people like Henderson risked their lives to protect Dmitry..
From then on, Dmitry was fully prepared..
If the same situation happens, the result will be different. So that no problems arise for Dmitry even if Roman Dmitry is not there. Led by Knight Commander Jonathan, everyone has been working hard..
told the lieutenant.
“Mercury Preparation?”
“all finished.”
“Tell the soldiers. We are not simply holding on to endure. I will crush the enemies who dared attack Dmitry and avenge what happened in the past. Dmitry will now prove to the world that this is not a land that can be taken carelessly..”
“I will pass it on literally..”
He showed determined eyes.
this much.
took a step.
Knight Commander Jonathan ordered each person to a designated location, but there was one person who caught his eye..
“Ares. Can I ask you one thing??”
“please speak.”
Ares.
A new person emerging as Dmitry's second-in-command..
people believed in him.
Even without Roman Dmitry, because Ares is there, even if a strong enemy appears, he can be stopped..
“That is not the location Ares was assigned to. I clearly asked you to take charge of the top of the castle wall on the right, but why are you there near the castle gate? And above all…….”
a few days ago.
Lucas of Haomun warned.
Variables that may arise.
“Is it true that the reason you didn't follow Master Roman Dmitry to Valhalla was simply because you were tired??”
To Valhalla.
Ares is excluded.
It's not intentional.
He himself said that he would stay with Dmitri because his mission in Valhalla was difficult..
Remarks by Captain Jonathan.
Moment.
“……The nuance of the words sounds quite dangerous. Am I mistaken??”
Ares looked at Knight Commander Jonathan with a cold expression..
