384Tue Second Continental War (7)
a day ago.
At a time when the Salamander Continent was engulfed in chaos, Valhalla leaders received disconcerting news..
[Viscount Marron is dead! First, they formed a siege to block Roman Dmitry, but thousands of soldiers have already died. At this rate, it is only a matter of time before the siege of the southern jungle area is breached. No matter how many people we mobilize, there is no way to solve the absence of an expert to deal with Roman Dmitry..]
It was absurd.
Just a few hours ago, he gave full authority to Viscount Maron and ordered him to stop Roman Dmitry by any means necessary..
Count Snowdin, the new powerful figure in Valhalla, did not completely trust Viscount Maron..
It would be impossible to stop Roman Dmitry with just that many people, but since it was an operation that mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, I thought it would be enough to last a few days..
however.
In reality it took less than a few hours..
Count Snowdin reacted nervously to the news of Viscount Maron's death and his adjutant's words of despair..
“These useless guys! Our goal is not to deal with Roman Dmitry. So, do whatever you can to stop it, even if it means replacing all the soldiers. The more time passes, the longer we hold him in Valhalla. Roman Dmitry's limbs are cut off, and even he won't be able to turn against the tide..”
[……All right.]
there was no other way.
In a situation where even the strongest swordsman in Valhalla had bowed to Ares, it was a bad decision to push too hard to defeat Roman Dmitri..
A war of attrition was the best for now..
I thought that if Roman Dmitry's physical strength was eaten away, Dmitry's monster would eventually show its limits..
judgment within common sense.
No, even this was beyond common sense..
In the first place, it was ridiculous to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of troops just to hold on to one person..
But as time goes by.
News arriving one after another caused fear..
[2The car blocking line has been breached.!]
[There's no stopping Roman Dmitry! They are moving so fast that it is difficult to even keep up with them, and even if they form a formation, they slaughter them all at once and run away. Roman Dmitry moves faster than we can form a siege..]
[Wow!]
Beyond the communicator.
I heard a scream.
The blood-stained voice proved that even the third line of defense had been breached..
‘a monster.’
Roman Dmitry.
he was alone.
Dmitry's private soldiers deliberately opened the way, and he was crossing the vast territory of Valhalla alone..
However, the movement speed was abnormally fast..
It was a speed that could be said to be fast even without any obstacles, but in reality, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were struggling, risking their lives to slow him down..
I felt dizzy.
A day has passed.
Just as Count Snowdin's mouth was getting dry, another news came..
[……Well, we were mistaken. Roman Dmitry is not running away. He doesn't hide his tracks, and he slaughters wherever he comes across. It just felt like he was running too fast, but he never once ran away from Valhalla. Count Snowdin. At this rate, it is virtually impossible to tie up Roman Dmitry for even a month..]
Around that time.
Roman Dmitry passed Eltar.
It became clear.
If he can pass Eltar this quickly even with a chase, Roman Dmitry will reach the Frankish border in about a week..
A week was too short.
Even if Kronos and Valhalla declared war with all their might, it was impossible to resolve the entire situation in one week..
blast furnace.
Valhalla needed a decision..
“Send all the troops you have gathered to attack the southern three kingdoms to Roman Dmitry. The Southern Three Kingdoms are not important at all in the current situation. Roman Dmitry. The point of this war is to prevent his intervention. Only by creating a situation where he cannot intervene as much as possible can we destroy Dmitry and isolate Roman Dmitry..”
My mouth was dry..
only a week.
This war will be decided around the time Roman Dmitry enters the Frankish border..
* * *
At that time, Dmitry.
Flora Lawrence, who was in charge of the left wall, raised her voice at the sight of the Kronos Empire army rushing fiercely..
“2Joe, ready for the magic..”
“1Joe, fire magic!”
Hwareuk.
Grumbling.
A fire broke out..
The wizards of Phoenix unleashed their magic at Flora Lawrence's command..
“inferno).”
“Inferno.”
Kwaang!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
beyond the walls.
I heard a terrible scream.
Imperial soldiers engulfed in flames fell to the ground with their skin melting, and some were clutching their necks in the aftermath of the heat..
The airway was burned by the intense heat..
Hundreds of soldiers were wiped out in one blow, but their places were quickly replaced by others, to the extent that they were not even happy about the damage..
The imperial army trampled on the corpse..
They approached the castle wall with faces prepared for death, and began to climb up the ladder one by one..
“spray oil!”
“3Joe, ready for the magic. Archers should aim and fire at enemies coming up ladders, not enemies at a distance.!”
It was a confusing situation.
Just now.
The gates were opened..
Flora Lawrence knew this, but she was not impatient and maintained her position..
Ares was a variable.
It was a fatal problem that could not be dealt with even if expected, and Dmitry might have been taken over like this due to the variables he created..
But the problem should not be considered a problem. The art of war did not always require ingenious strategies..
In a situation like the present where there is absolutely no way to back down, it was also important for the commander who controls the soldiers to maintain composure and not get caught up in the variables..
sticking to the basics.
It was the core of the art of war.
As Rodwell Dmitry set out to solve the gate problem, Flora Lawrence tried to focus on her own situation..
“1Prepare group magic, fire group 2 magic!”
Kwaang!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The magic exploded..
Feeling her heart go cold, Flora Lawrence quickly made the right decision for the left wall..
The variable has already occurred.
In order to somehow turn the situation around, it was necessary not to overturn the situation with a great strategy, but to block other variables from occurring on the left wall..
That was the role of leaders like Flora Lawrence..
As a staff advisor and in charge of controlling the soldiers, she personally fired arrows while giving orders, preventing the enemies from climbing up the castle walls..
past years.
Flowers in the greenhouse became wildflowers.
Experiencing various events such as Barco, the civil war in Cairo, and the war with Kronos, she became a completely different person..
puck.
An arrow pierced the enemy's head..
As if such a scene was nothing, Flora Lawrence calmly aimed her bow at another enemy..
the battle was fierce.
He was faithful to his role..
But I couldn't help but keep looking at Rodwell Dmitry..
glance.
‘……Please, hold on until the end..’
gate passage.
It was literally hell.
In a situation stained with blood and fire, Flora Lawrence gritted her teeth..
“Concentrate! the war is not over yet!”
now.
First of all, performing my role was the priority..
* * *
A short distance from Dmitry's walls.
Mystique looked at the battlefield..
“These guys are really annoying. Were there any guys who could withstand this much against the Kronos Empire?.”
I recalled my memory.
To put it bluntly.
There wasn't a single person.
Those who rebelled against Alexander disappeared into the back of history, and the Kronos Empire has never experienced a crisis..
But this time was different.
Dmitry, who grew up quickly with Roman Dmitry at the head, had a record of blocking the attack of the Kronos Empire even though he was from a small country..
that day.
Sven is dead.
Mystique felt quite embarrassed by the fact that a 6-star swordsman was attacked even without Roman Dmitri..
“But the fun is over now.”
this war.
Alexander made a decision.
Mystique felt a shiver run through her body when she heard that she would conquer the continent and achieve her grand dream..
At one time, he was also a great wizard who ruled the continent..
It wasn't easy to swear loyalty to someone, but after seeing the future that Alexander was planning, he couldn't help but bow his head..
There was a fate in this world that could not be resisted.
Mystic is.
Kneel down to a great fate.
Hwaak-
I created mana.
Mystic back.
The shadows rose up.
In the last war, Mystique attacked Dmitry with space movement magic, and Dmitry formed a magic defense to prevent penetration into Dmitry just in case..
Even as a Mystic, it was impossible to break through the magic defense and move inside..
However, if you use power that is not permitted in this world, you can move the prime number just once, assuming that you cannot use the power for the time being..
that.
It was an unexpected variable following Ares..
In preparing for this war, Dmitry was not the only one who found points of improvement from previous wars..
“Dmitry. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to hold out until Roman Dmitry arrives..”
Quad deud deuk.
Magic power exploded.
The swirling magic tore apart the space, and shadows were sucked in one by one into the purple world revealed inside..
this war.
As if he had obeyed his fate.
Dmitry's destruction will proceed as planned.
* * *
Wow.
space was opened.
The sky of Dmitry distorted, and hundreds of shadows simultaneously fell like rain towards the city of Dmitry..
“Kill everyone you see.”
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
their purpose.
The massacre was there in itself..
Only a small number of troops could infiltrate through the magic defenses, and it was impossible for them to annihilate Dmitry alone..
Fernando protects his immunity.
It has been proven in previous battles that the presence of troops not actively participating in the battle of the outer castle is enough to block the shadows..
so that.
Falling on the border between extroversion and introversion.
Since Fernando could not lead his troops, he planned to cause as much confusion as possible..
“evil!”
“Ahhhhh!”
There was a massacre.
Since the inner city could not accommodate all the civilians, some helped with tasks such as hiding at the border between the outer and inner walls or transporting supplies..
They were the shadows' target. No matter how many civilians you kill, it won't affect the general trend..
Mystique was not unaware of that fact, but unless she was a villain who took human life lightly, a situation like this was bound to cause trouble..
just as expected.
The situation was immediately reported to Knight Commander Jonathan..
“Commander Jonathan! Shadows are attacking the city now!”
Quack.
Knight Commander Jonathan cut down the enemy army.
Not only did he take command of Mercury, but he also actively went into battle and cut down enemies who climbed the walls of the castle..
“Damn it. Kronos finally broke through the magic defense..”
Kronos' Strategy.
wasn't common.
Normally, space movement magic requires a medium such as a warp gate, but the Kronos Empire showed signs of going beyond common sense in previous wars..
It was the same this time too. Without any intermediaries, they sent hundreds of thousands of troops to Dmitry..
I was not embarrassed because I had experienced it once before, but it was still a mystery that general knowledge could not understand as to how this was possible..
last war.
At a meeting held by Dmitry's leaders, Flora Lawrence mentioned one variable..
“What if? Indeed, if the Kronos Empire were able to break through the 'magic defense' and infiltrate troops inside, it would cause a fatal problem. We must prepare for the worst. In order to win the war, it is necessary to decide now the action manual when unexpected variables occur..”
It was a cruel reality.
that day.
The leaders made a decision.
Knight Commander Jonathan stepped back and spoke to the soldier who delivered the news..
“Right now, we cannot allow power leakage. If you withdraw some troops to resolve the city's situation, you may face the worst situation now that the gates have been breached. Leave that place to McBurney's separate team..”
“……Do you think they alone can stop it?.”
The soldier trailed off..
McBurney's Detachment.
they were a special group.
I am not ignoring their efforts, but this problem was not at a level that could be solved by a separate unit alone..
People with stories like McBurney's.
Those who lost a body part in the war or gave up life as a soldier due to mental problems chose a new life following McBurney..
A separate unit that protects the city in times of emergency..
I heard that they received the same level of training as ordinary soldiers, but their opponents were not ordinary beings but shadows of the Kronos Empire..
I was worried.
To such a reaction.
Knight Commander Jonathan said firmly:.
“We just do what we can. Even if they are annihilated, their deaths will have full meaning if we win the war. So focus on our purpose. The best we can do is to fulfill our roles in each position until the end..”
I looked away.
There was no worries at all.
Commander of the Knights of the Frontier.
Knight Commander Jonathan, who was once asked if he was satisfied with his position, built his own world through the ravages of time like others..
In order to become a person worthy of Dmitry,.
He realized through past experience that he had to think and make different decisions than before..
It was then.
Kwaang!
Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
An explosion was heard from afar..
This meant that McBurney's detachment had begun their own fight to the death..
Knight Commander Jonathan gritted his teeth and shouted in a voice so loud that the chaotic battlefield shook..
“Kill them all! To those who dare to cross Dmitry, show them the price.!”
Crumbling rumbling.
an exploding aura.
Knight Commander Jonathan manifested a 4-star aura..
That too.
As a prosecutor, I took a step forward..
