409Conquer the Continent of Fire (8)
Right after absorbing the Northeast Association..
Lucas, who was called by Roman Dmitry, reacted in confusion to the unexpected order..
“……Are you really planning to fight the Kronos Empire??”
command just now.
There was no room for interpretation other than war..
At that time, Dmitry was just a member of a family in Cairo, and powerful figures such as Marquis Benedict controlled the central government..
But this is an order to prepare for war with Kronos..
I knew that Roman Dmitry was not an ordinary person, but his picture went beyond common sense..
Roman Dmitry said.
“Lucas. Cairo has already crossed the irreversible river. King Daniel Cairo is powerless to protect the country, and Cairo is controlled by various forces with different views. I will ask you. If we were to confront the central government, do you think we could achieve the desired result simply by defeating the enemy in front of us?.”
“……Maybe someone behind the scenes is involved..”
“Yes. Whether it’s Kronos or Valhalla. They won't just watch Cairo regain her composure. Cairo's civil war will certainly result in imperial intervention, and in order to create the future we truly desire, we must think about an all-out war with the empire in the distant future. It's not just a prediction. It's a future that will definitely happen, and that's why I want to prepare for war against them from now on..”
southern front.
Roman Dmitry, who defeated Hector and returned home in gold, witnessed numerous movements to take over him during the course of the meritorious prize..
Daniel Cairo had no control over the situation..
With Marquis Benedict of the aristocratic faction, Count Denver of the Valhalla faction, and Count Gregory of the Chronos faction making sweet offers, the Cairo royal family watched what was happening within the kingdom like a blind eye..
at last.
civil war will break out.
In a situation where the country's security was shaken, imperial intervention was inevitable, so Roman Dmitry tried to prepare for the storm that would hit Cairo..
Dmitry will end the civil war in Cairo.
So, he laid the foundation by absorbing the Northeast Association, and further thought about an all-out war with the empire..
That's what war is like.
If you were complacent in the process of deciding that it would end in a reasonable line, you would have been swept away by variables such as the union of Kronos and Valhalla..
Therefore, from the beginning, war was a planned future..
Thinking that the two great mountain ranges of the continent would come to an end at any moment, I imagined a future in which I would not simply prepare for war, but would subdue them..
to that command.
Lucas gasped..
‘what are you…….’
Roman Dmitry.
It was something that went beyond common sense..
While others were talking about a civil war in Cairo, he was preparing for an all-out war with the empire behind it..
I wanted to scream that it was crazy..
However, the appearance of Roman Dmitry that I have experienced so far.
Lucas nodded his head without realizing it, seeing his ability to turn absurd things into reality..
“All right. I will process as ordered..”
that day.
Their secret conversation laid the foundation for Dmitry's distant future..
* * *
back to the present.
lucas said.
“Meanwhile, the Dmitri Information Guild has invested tens of thousands of manpower in preparation for the war against the Kronos Empire and the Valhalla Empire. Among them, I will tell you about the plan to overthrow Kronos. We formed an intelligence network within the Kronos Empire and investigated the secret passageway connected to the Kronos Imperial Palace. Throughout his long history, Kronos has never faced a major crisis, but he was convinced of the existence of a secret passage because the emperor's safety was more important than anything else. As a result, the location of the secret passage was found..”
“……A secret passage?.”
“Are you planning to infiltrate the capital through that place??”
The leaders were surprised..
I found a secret passage.
I couldn't help but admire Roman Dmitry's preparation and the fact that it achieved results..
Lucas shook his head..
“no. At first, that was also considered, but the secret passage was made in a structure that would collapse on its own unless the person was of imperial blood. The same applies when attempting to dispel magic defenses, so even if you know of the existence of a secret passage, there is no way to utilize it directly. But that does not mean it is a meaningless achievement..”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
unfolded the map.
It recorded the structure of a secret passage, but it was difficult to recognize with the naked eye because it was intricately intertwined..
“The Kronos Empire is also unfamiliar with the existence of secret passages. When the Imperial Palace was first built, it was built for emergencies, but it has never been actually used, so the people of the Kronos Empire lack understanding of secret passages. We want to target that area. The method is simple. It will send smoke through a secret passage. The moment people realize that the source of the smoke is a secret passageway, they cannot help but expect an intrusion, as the smoke cannot occur unless it is intentional. That's a trap that will confuse your enemies. If the enemy's forces are dispersed due to sudden changes, we will immediately proceed with the second operation..”
eyes were focused.
Everyone swallowed dry saliva..
Even Chris, who had always questioned it, knew that Lucas' preparation was thorough..
“In fact, a long period of work was needed to prepare for the second operation. About Dmitri The basis of the guild lies in the ruling class. The purpose of the Dmitri Information Guild is to secure beings who are not classified as socially powerful and to unite the pieces of information obtained through them. The second operation began in this same vein. Infiltrate as a worker at Kronos. When a war begins, all countries commonly deploy workers to repair parts such as castle walls. If you placate the workers just before war breaks out, your identity and actions will be questioned, but if you conduct an operation before trouble begins, you will escape the enemy's suspicions. That's what we're really trying to get out of the first mess..”
workers moved their horses.
them near the wall.
When it was put down in an unexpected place, people got goosebumps..
“The magic defenses on Kronos' walls are very strong. Unlike the wars that had been going on so far, it was judged that the task of destroying the castle walls would not be easy, so workers planted bombs that did not react magically throughout the walls. Because it is made of the same material as the castle wall, it was not detected, and when a huge impact is applied to the castle wall, it will cause a chain of explosions and weaken the durability of the castle wall. The workers plan to detonate magic bombs on the inner walls to coincide with the attack on the castle walls..”
Zech.
I raised my head.
He looked around at the astonished people, and then stopped looking at Roman Dmitry, who was calmly listening to the strategy..
“This is the end of the operation I have prepared. Dispersion of power and weakening of castle walls. What happens after that is up to the lord..”
* * *
next day.
The operation has begun.
Smoke suddenly rose inside the palace, and the palace guards had no choice but to be on fire..
“what? Where is the smoke coming from??”
“It's a secret passage! I'm sure there's a secret passage!”
The moment you recognize danger.
The imperial palace was turned upside down..
An emergency security system was immediately activated, and this fact was relayed to the Marquis of Memphis..
“Say it again. what?”
“……It seems that Dmitry broke in through the emergency passage. The secret passageway is structured so that smoke can never enter, but smoke is leaking out from there. The problem is that you cannot enter the secret passage if you are not of imperial blood, and the other person is Roman Dmitry. A being who defies common sense every time would surely have solved the problem of the secret passage..”
“this.”
According to the subordinate's report.
The Marquis of Memphis reacted with embarrassment..
The war with Dmitry had to be dragged out into a long war..
If it showed signs of shaking after only a few days, the Cronos Empire's resistance war could not achieve any results..
“Bring in the troops right now. If we allow enemies to invade from within, we can never win the war against Dmitry. The opponent is Roman Dmitry. If we have the complacent mindset of being the only one, we will repeat the defeats of the past..”
It was an urgent cry.
war so far.
Every time we lost because of just one person.
Even if only a small number of people broke in, the moment Roman Dmitry was included in that number, it was nothing short of a disaster..
The reaction that seemed to spark a game was quite natural..
Troops were immediately deployed at the call of the Marquis of Memphis, and a layered defense system was formed centered on the secret passage..
That wasn't all.
The Marquis of Memphis arrived at the scene and shouted loudly at the soldiers..
“Close the secret passage immediately. And since there may be enemies inside, inject poison gas into the passage..”
“All right.”
It was a perfect response.
If there are enemies inside the secret passage.
Even Roman Dmitry will have a hard time surviving..
Of course, there was some anxiety in my heart..
Why was there smoke?.
In fact, if it moved through a secret passage, wouldn't it be normal for it not to leave even a trace like smoke?.
but.
Since the opponent was Roman Dmitry, I had no choice but to react sensitively to variables..
‘Just one thing. If we do not recognize that the smoke is a signal of our enemies' mistakes, we will face a disaster that we cannot handle. Even if the enemy is using the secret passage with some intention, we have no choice but to respond to the variable with all our might..’
It was a dark reality.
Even if you know the existence of the variable.
response was forced.
The Marquis of Memphis quickly sorted out the situation, and only felt relieved when he saw that the entrance was closed..
It was then.
Kwaang!
Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
far away.
A huge explosion was heard..
The Marquis of Memphis turned his head to check the direction from which the sound came, and only then did he realize that something was wrong..
“……Damn it.”
It was certain.
Seongdonggyeokseo (聲東擊西)).
Anxiety became reality..
* * *
When the imperial palace was in chaos.
Roman Dmitry walked towards the walls.
“Roman Dmitry!”
“attack!”
on the castle wall.
The soldiers moved busily..
The archers stepped forward and fired arrows, followed by the magic of the wizards..
It was an excessive attack against just one person, but they were willing to use any means possible as long as they could deal with Roman Dmitry..
Unfortunately, the attack didn't work..
Felix and the Wizards of Phoenix, Edwin Hector and the Wizards of the Sky raised their magical power to protect Roman Dmitri..
“shield).”
“shield.”
Kwaang!
puff puff puff puff.
All attacks are blocked by magic defense.
Roman Dmitry did not stop walking through the thick cloud of dust, but stopped not far from the castle walls..
The walls of Kronos' capital were huge..
The magical defenses, built in layers and walls made of solid material at an endless height, have never collapsed in history..
everyone in the world.
They bowed their heads to the majesty of the empire..
Looking at the scenery that overwhelmed everyone, Roman Dmitry felt that it was rather familiar..
his life.
Fighting with the strong was a daily occurrence..
Because they were strong, they recognized each other's existence, and because they were strong, they showed their ferocious teeth to destroy each other..
A world that is inaccessible to the weak in the first place.
In a world of the fittest, Roman Dmitry has risen to the top as a predator who eats the predator..
‘At one time, Alexander's methods puzzled me. It is clearly the wrong approach, but the destructive power pursued by excessive outbursts can sometimes be more efficient than controlled power. For example, martial arts would be a clear solution when dealing with a strong person like Alexander, but in a situation where you are facing a huge castle wall, indiscriminate outbursts are not a bad option either..’
closely.
grabbed the sword.
I took a stance.
wanted to try it.
Alexander's Way.
What will happen if you solve it in your own way?.
It was a method that was not necessary in Moorim..
The martial arts battle was not a siege battle over a castle, but a battle between warriors..
Therefore, venting energy by indiscriminately attacking a large number of people was an ineffective method..
However, even in this world, it could not be said to be unconditionally inefficient..
In the situation of attacking a huge castle wall, it might be another way..
Roman Dmitry.
No, the Heavenly Demon Baek Jung-hyuk.
It's always been like that.
The world was accepted without prejudice, and the power that Alexander had abandoned was newly revealed through Roman Dmitry..
widely.
one step.
took a step forward.
As Roman Dmitry stretched out his sword, Dantian's mana exploded, and the moment he swung his sword towards the castle wall, it erupted like an active volcano..
It was a huge explosion.
A tens of meters long aura arose from the sword, and it expressed an overwhelming presence like a strike swung by a giant..
‘From now on, this will be named Cheongeom (天劍)..’
on the castle wall.
people were mesmerized.
There was no way to respond, no way to respond..
The giant's blow struck them, and they were immediately swept away by the storm of aura..
Kwaang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.!
Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
* * *
Rumbling.
The aftermath of the explosion was raging..
On the battlefield, where the shock had not yet subsided, the soldiers of the Kronos Empire witnessed a terrible scene..
“Ugh, ugh.!”
“evil!”
Screams were heard from all directions..
Part of the huge castle wall had collapsed, and the soldiers trapped under the ruins of the castle were screaming in pain..
It was an unbelievable sight even when I saw it in person..
Roman Dmitry barely attempted a single blow, but the impregnable castle that had never once allowed an enemy to invade in history collapsed..
They couldn't know.
Magic bomb planted within the castle walls.
explosion in the inner wall.
And Roman Dmitry's strike.
Their imaginations could not have predicted that three factors destroyed the castle wall at once..
It was shocking.
everyone was mesmerized.
in between.
Jump and run.
Roman Dmitry took a step forward..
He walked towards the space where the dusty wind was blowing and spoke calmly with his sword hanging down..
“let's go.”
That moment.
“attack!”
“Take down the empire!”
“For Dmitri!”
right behind.
Cheers erupted like enthusiasm..
The soldiers of the Kingdom Alliance, led by Chris and Kevin, passed Roman Dmitri and rushed towards Kronos Castle all at once..
sparks flew.
now really.
It was time to take down Kronos..
