389Tue Second Continental War (12)
that time.
Mystique received bad news from the scouts..
“Dmitry's army sent a pursuit party. Judging by the fact that they moved before the repairs to the walls were completed, it seems that they intended to repel us first rather than prepare for the next attack. Mystic. If you face enemies like this, annihilation is inevitable..”
“……Damn it.”
Mystique's expression distorted..
It was unexpected.
Ares insisted that Dmitri would definitely send a chase, but Mystique had other ideas..
Dmitry took advantage of the castle and won..
In a space where there is no protection on all sides, an all-out war with the Kronos Empire would inevitably be burdensome, and I never thought that someone like Dmitry would dare open the gates and come out without Roman Dmitry..
Maybe I was trying hard to deny it.
Being defeated by Dmitry in a row really hurt Mystique's pride..
‘I can't use space movement magic properly with the strength I have left now. If you increase your strength too much, your limbs will be torn apart in the dimensional gap. If I take refuge alone, I may be able to save my life, but once again, the moment I report such results, Master Alexandre will kill me..’
recent.
Alexander was very uncomfortable..
Although he appeared to maintain his composure on the outside, Mystique did not know that he was quite angry at the variables created by Roman Dmitri..
A criminal record was required. Clear proof that you are useful.
In order to regain strength and counterattack, he had to save even the remnants of the defeated soldiers who followed him..
“map.”
“yes?”
“ask for a map!”
“Oh, I see..”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I laid out the map on a simple table..
Northeast area.
There wasn't enough space to escape..
Being in a frontier area meant that there weren't many ways to move around, and since a pursuit party would be approaching from Dmitry's direction, there was only one way..
move as south as possible.
Once you gain time and recover enough mana, you can then turn the situation around by calling in additional troops through 'space movement magic'..
‘Yeah, the war's not over yet.’
This was actually an opportunity.
The Kronos Empire was only defeated by Mercury's advantage, and if they had faced each other in open space from the beginning, they would have clearly overwhelmed Dmitry..
Then it was a race against time..
Depending on how much time you take and how much you lure your opponent, you can achieve the result of defeating Dmitry's pursuit party at once..
blast furnace.
I took a map.
Mystique shouted..
“Everyone, pack your bags. From now on we will move south.”
“All right.”
Dmitry.
They became like Roman Dmitry. They were threatening enough, baring their ferocious teeth as if they were predators.
However, it will clearly show them that there are levels of even predators. The reason Dmitry was able to go on a rampage.
It is not because they are strong, but because the power of one Roman Dmitry is beyond common sense..
took a step.
I was in a hurry.
It was an unfamiliar march for Mystique, but there was no other way now..
But how far did it travel?.
Chachachachacha.
“This is the opposite direction from Dmitry. Could it be that the so-called great kingdom of Kronos is running away?.”
south retreat.
Chris was blocking the place, accompanied by Dmitry's soldiers..
* * *
Mystique's expression hardened..
chris.
He's already shown up at Dmitry..
It was faster than expected.
And blocking the South's retreat route meant that he had already seen through his intentions and occupied the route..
‘The way out is…….’
There wasn't.
Dmitry's soldiers were already surrounding the area, and flares in the sky were calling in additional troops..
With the power of Mystic, I was able to escape by moving through space..
Normally, Mystique would have done that, but the moment she saw Chris, a plan came into her mind..
‘Chris is Dmitry's key figure. He may have lost the war, but if he kills that guy, he can be recognized as having achieved something..’
an imminent situation.
Silence did not mean peace.
With each person holding their weapon and keeping an eye on the other, it was not unusual for a fierce battle to break out..
It was then.
It was Mystic who broke the silence..
“attack!”
“attack!”
fault.
took a step back.
As the soldiers of the Kronos Empire rushed in as if they had been waiting, Mystique fluttered the hem of her robe and unleashed magic..
“Thunder Storm).”
Falling in love.
Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
A bunch of lightning occurred..
The blinding light swept away the surroundings with the force of a storm..
Dmitry's wizards did not stay still either..
They tried to block Mystic's attack by quickly using defensive magic, but the destructive power of the 7th circle magic exceeded the normal standard..
flash.
Crumbling rumbling.
“Wow!”
“Ahhhhh!”
Dmitry's soldiers were swept away.
Mystique, who had eliminated dozens of soldiers in an instant, waved both arms and controlled the direction of the Thunder Storm..
I have one goal.
It was Chris.
However, if he revealed his intentions, he might not come forward, so Mystique committed as much massacre as possible to force him to come forward..
Meanwhile, the Kronos Empire attacked Dmitri's soldiers..
Contrary to their rushing momentum, Dmitry's soldiers actually overwhelmed the imperial army in close combat..
Kaang!
“die.”
deeply.
The imperial army's attack did not work..
Dmitry's soldiers showed skills that surpassed that of ordinary soldiers due to their training, and calmly countered the attack even as their comrades were swept away by magic..
The reason Dmitry lost against Kronos was not due to qualitative differences..
This was because they were outnumbered, and in the current situation where the number of the imperial army was reduced, they could not deal with Dmitry's soldiers with only a small number of soldiers..
at last.
It was a fight between Mystique and Chris..
In the midst of the intense lightning bolt, Chris appeared to be running towards him..
Papa Papa Pot.
blood splattered.
The imperial army that confronted Chris was slaughtered in the blink of an eye..
Regardless of whether it was a regular soldier or an aura swordsman, the heads were blown off, and Chris' eyes were also fixed on Mystique..
last 3 days.
Chris suppressed his anger..
Unlike Kevin, who went looking for Ares like a madman as soon as he arrived at Dmitry, Chris rationally chose what was best for Dmitri..
That was what led the chase..
He knew that if he could reliably defeat the Kronos Empire army, he could take control of the future situation..
“Lightning Rain).”
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
Mystic exploded with magic power..
Lights appeared in the darkened sky, and powerful lightning struck wherever Chris moved..
It was a sight that made even a single human being insignificant..
The magic was truly a natural disaster, and Chris was nowhere to be seen due to the lightning that continued to strike..
‘Is he dead??’
Moment.
he thought complacently.
Chris is not a monster like Roman Dmitry.
I thought that anyone who fell to their knees against Ares would not survive the storm of magic..
But then.
sudden.
Crumbling rumbling.
Through the lightning.
Chris popped out..
Mystique widened her eyes..
In an unbelievable situation, he tried to use 'Blink' by generating magical power..
That moment.
flash.
‘One island).’
solid lines on the neck.
Mystique's eyes were shaken by the distorted vision..
* * *
It was truly a great victory..
The imperial army was completely destroyed..
People were happy about the huge criminal record, but they also looked shocked at the helplessness that Chris witnessed..
chris.
He single-handedly slaughtered thousands of soldiers..
No one could stop the swordsmanship that was so fast that it could not be properly checked, and in particular, the scene where Mystique was dealt with shocked everyone..
Chris' sword skills were fast enough to cut down Blink..
People knew that Chris was strong, but they didn't expect it to be this strong..
actually.
The reason why Chris was able to defeat Mystique at once was related to the training that Dmitry had been doing..
New world.
Roman Dmitry acknowledged magic.
Initiating a magical revolution called the opening of the upper level, he has been consistently training himself on how to deal with magicians..
explosion of magic.
How to respond in situations that stimulate your senses sensitively, and what are the loopholes in magic..
Through constant training, Dmitry's swordsmen and wizards complemented each other's weaknesses..
Wizards have become so skilled that they cannot allow swordsmen to approach using normal methods, and swordsmen have learned how to attack their opponents in situations where magic power explodes, as Chris just showed..
Roman Dmitry was the wizard's nemesis.
And of course.
The swordsmen who received his teachings also grew into the types of beings that wizards truly dislike..
Pak.
I shook the blood off my sword..
Chris just went all out..
Combined with his strengths in using a quick sword, he dealt with Mystic more easily than expected, but it wasn't a very satisfying result for Chris..
If only I were stronger. It would have been possible to capture Mystique alive..
However, I knew how the battlefield would change if I allowed Blink, so I risked my life and cut off his head..
Mystique dissipated into smoke..
Having achieved his goal of destroying the imperial army, Chris gave orders to his soldiers..
“Clear the battlefield quickly. As soon as we finish Dmitry's repairs, we will head to Cairo and the Western Front..”
“All right.”
“and volkan.”
“yes.”
Volkan stepped forward..
He, drenched in blood after fighting a full-blown war, looked at Chris while breathing heavily..
“Kevin is now wandering around looking for Ares. If you really face Ares, not even Kevin will be able to save his life, so send his troops to help Kevin..”
“Even if that wasn't the case, I was worried..”
Volkan nodded..
Ares.
It was a dangerous thing.
If he had joined forces with Mystique, the battle just wouldn't have ended so easily..
Early moning.
Chris and the soldiers tried to stop Kevin from going in search of Ares..
This decision was made because he knew how dangerous Ares was, but Kevin's eyes were tired..
Even though Dmitry won, there were corpses everywhere..
If Ares hadn't betrayed us, there wouldn't have been this much damage..
‘It's not that I don't understand how you feel, but Kevin's strength alone will never be able to handle Ares..’
I was sure.
Volkan gathered his forces..
Once he found Kevin's location, Chris also planned to help him sort out the situation..
It was then.
“Kevin?!”
Stand tall.
stopped walking.
I heard someone shouting in surprise..
Chris looked in the direction of the sound..
Moment.
Chris's eyes shook greatly..
“……what about you.”
It was really Kevin..
And to his horror, Ares, caught in his grasp, was being dragged away with his face covered in blood..

that afternoon.
Umberto's situation was worst..
After the front line defense position fell, they called an emergency meeting in a situation where they were losing battle after battle..
one of the leaders said.
“If things continue like this, there is no hope. Although reinforcements were sent from the Franks and Redford, this alone was not enough to stop Kronos' advance. We need a way, a way! With Dmitri, Cairo, and Hector all under attack, Umberto doesn't have long to hold out..”
Umberto.
They are not far from the border and the capital..
We were literally in a state where our feet were on fire, so we had to fight from the front line of defense somehow..
It was hopeless.
Some people even regretted their union with Dmitry..
“We have done something we cannot handle. Kronos is a great country. Their power was not only visible, and at the same time, if they attacked like this, even Roman Dmitry would not have the power to take care of other countries. How should I do this? Even if we wait for support from the Kingdom Alliance, if they are defeated, not even a glimmer of hope is lost. And honestly… … Wouldn't it be difficult for Cairo and Dmitri to block Kronos' attack?.”
I was at a loss.
Cairo, Dmitri, Hector.
The three kingdoms were attacked.
A coalition of kingdoms was formed to gain their support, but in none of them was the situation hopeful..
Calderon Drake said.
“This is a problem that should not be thought of that way. Following Dmitri was Umberto's only hope. Considering the way the Kingdom of Odelia was destroyed, the option of following the Empire was impossible in the first place..”
“I'm just saying this because I'm frustrated, because I'm frustrated.!”
all of them.
I found out the truth.
Roman Dmitry opened the way for the kingdom to unite, but it was difficult because he was the only hope..
It was then.
In a conference room where opinions were divided for a long time, completely unexpected news arrived..
“It's a victory! Dmitri completely defeated the Kronos Empire army this morning.!”
“what!?”
Moment.
Everyone was very surprised.
Dmitri heard that hundreds of thousands of imperial troops attacked, and even 7th circle wizards participated in the attack..
It was an unfavorable war without Roman Dmitry.
So I thought they might collapse after a few days, but I didn't expect to hear the news that they had defeated the imperial army so quickly..
Things have changed.
The leader who only spoke despairing words said.
“As expected, Dmitri! They are worthy of being the head of the Kingdom Union! This is a different story. If Dmitry sends reinforcements, we can put an end to the fire right away..”
“Wouldn't that be difficult? Dmitry's top priority is resolving the border problems between Cairo and Hector. In particular, if Hector falls to Valhalla, Dmitri must prepare for an all-out war against Valhalla..”
“……this.”
My complexion became pale..
It was a mountain beyond the mountain.
two empires.
The more I thought about the union of the two major mountain ranges, the more breathtaking it became..
But absurdly.
They received an additional, truly shocking report that was even more incredible than the news of Dmitry's victory..
“Just now. Hector won the first battle against Valhalla! The war is not over yet. The Kingdom Unity will not fall apart like this.!”
Hector's Victory.
It was a ridiculous result.
Umberto's leaders could not understand with common sense what was happening on the Salamander Continent..
