A place far from where the incident occurred.
Hearing Thompson's voice coming through the magic communicator, Edwin Hector spoke with a stern expression..
“Thompson, calm down. Enemies only use the darkness because they are at a numerical disadvantage. Be alert to your surroundings and calmly explain the situation to me..”
[2The enemy appeared in the area handled by the 1st company of the battalion. But no matter how much I check, I can't see any enemies. Hector's soldiers are dying one after another, leaving only a bunch of corpses. I can't find any traces of the enemy. Commander. How on earth should I respond to this? There is nothing we can do against the shapeless ghosts.!]
My voice was trembling..
Even without having to check his face, Thompson's pale face came to mind..
‘Thompson is an aura swordsman. A being with far more developed senses than an ordinary person can't even find a trace. No matter how dark the space is, is that possible??’
no.
impossible.
Aura swordsman pierces the darkness.
Since his eyes filled with mana were able to determine the enemy's location, he chose to climb the mountain even though the sun was setting..
However, Roman Dmitry was nowhere to be found..
1From communications received not only from the company but also from other places, it was clear that the remnants of Cairo were roaming the mountains..
‘The magic potential?’
does not exist.
Although there are magics of the invisible and hide type that make the body transparent, regardless of the fact that Roman Dmitry is not a wizard, magic cannot be used often in the first place..
one-time technology.
Once used, enough time is needed, and Roman Dmitry behaved as if he were an insubstantial ghost, as Thompson explained..
Hector's soldiers are dying..
It means that the reality has been revealed, and even though the magic effect has dissipated, it has disappeared into the darkness again..
I didn't understand.
Roman Dmitry.
The more I learned, the more I felt like I was falling into the mud..
Edwin Hector had experienced many situations, but this war tested him again and again..
I don't know the answer.
However, Edwin Hector spoke with an unwavering voice..
“As time passes, the opponent has no choice but to encounter physical limitations. According to our calculations, the number of soldiers joining Roman Dmitry is less than two hundred. Thompson. Don't be fooled by the darkness. This is a fight in which we have an overwhelming advantage, and if we respond calmly, we can definitely discover the enemy's true nature. And now I will lead my troops and go there. If you surround the attack base and light up the area with magic flares, the enemies will have no way to escape..”
under objective calculation.
Edwin Hector was confident that the situation was favorable..
Instead of being swayed by the fear unfolding before my eyes, I faced reality even in the midst of a violent situation..
sent a signal.
When you are about to move with your troops..
[……Oh, commander! I think the ghost of Cairo is targeting me.!]
beyond communication.
I heard Thompson's voice tinged with despair..
* * *
chuck.
Thompson raised his sword and looked around..
The surrounding soldiers were disappearing quickly..
As the darkness gradually approached him, Thompson became convinced that he had become the target of a ghost..
“1Company soldiers, listen up! Check each other’s locations and form a defensive formation! The enemy is now seeking our lives. This means don't be sucked into the darkness, but stand with each other's backs and block the enemy's attacks.!”
I screamed loudly..
My arms were trembling..
aura test.
Although he reached a level of superhumanity that ordinary people could not dare reach, he was ultimately only human..
‘The 1st Company is not the only company here. Since our troops are close together forming a border line, the surrounding area will be completely surrounded within the next three minutes at the earliest. So there is no need to be scared. As the commander said, the situation is in our favor..’
gulp.
I swallowed dry saliva..
The magic communicator was turned on..
A magic communicator was securely fastened to the waist so that it could be communicated immediately if an emergency situation arises..
It was then.
crispy.
the flames are gone.
It was about 5 meters away from where Thompson was located, and this time, a soldier was seen being dragged into the darkness..
It was certain.
A dark being appeared right in front of him, and Thompson instinctively raised his mana..
‘It's an opportunity!’
crackling.
explosion of aura.
flooded the space.
To prevent the opponent from escaping, he quickly dug into the space and swung his sword towards the darkness that had taken the soldier..
Suddenly!
split the wind.
There was no feeling of being stabbed by the sword..
I thought I was clearly following the enemy's movements, but I couldn't see the enemy, only the corpse of a soldier lying on the ground..
The soldier died with his eyes wide open..
Thompson's expression turned pale as he couldn't accept his own death..
‘this.’
one rush.
fell out of line.
Thinking that he had become distant from the soldiers who had been following him, Thompson hastily retrieved his sword and tried to retreat..
That moment.
Thompson's body stiffened..
A pitch-black space.
From there, a black figure was slowly walking out..
black seal.
It was Roman Dmitry..
His face, exposed in the moonlight, was covered in blood splattered by his enemies..
“When you hide in the dark and hunt down enemies, situations like this sometimes happen..”
a low voice.
Thompson couldn't scream..
The long sword seemed not ready to attack, but the blood dripping down the sword proved that it could attack at any time..
The hair on my whole body stood up..
Thompson raised his aura to the maximum and prepared for Roman Dmitry's surprise attack..
Rustle.
stepped on fallen leaves.
I heard a sound.
I couldn't hear the sound for a while, but when it appeared in front of me, I saw that the thing in the dark was a human being..
Roman chuckled..
“An invisible enemy. The illusion that victory can be achieved as long as the enemy is discovered. You, who had clearly been scared just a moment ago, jumped into the darkness as soon as you saw me. Why did I make that mistake? Did you really think that if you just found me, you could easily subdue me??”
glance.
Thompson looked around..
The soldiers were further than expected.
In the end, you had to believe in yourself to survive.
‘Let's see the game.’
I covered my ears.
I wasn't fooled by meaningless words..
He watched Roman approaching slowly, and kicked the ground as soon as the opponent came into range..
crackling.
“die!”
It was fast.
Aura exploding once again.
Although it was only a 1-star aura, it seemed as if the ability to transcend the human body could cut Roman's body down in one fell swoop..
and.
it was a mistake.
In Thompson's mind, he thought the attack had worked, but when he came to, a burning pain hit him..
Suddenly!
“Wow!”
blood splattered.
Thompson's body collapsed in excruciating pain as his chest suffered a long cut..
single blow.
Thompson knew he could never beat Roman Dmitry with his skills..
The skin on his chest was torn to the point that it was tattered, but he immediately got up and ran without looking back..
The only way to survive was to run away..
He let out a loud scream and alerted the soldiers to his situation..
However, the sound could not be heard, as if silence magic had been used..
and.
beetle.
My balance was lost, accompanied by a thunderbolt of pain..
Roman's sword severed Thompson's Achilles tendon, and when he reached out to block it, his wrist was also blown away..
Tuk.
wrist falling to the floor.
Thompson's face changed to that of a corpse..
He trembled and ran away, dragging himself on the floor with his free hand, but Roman was in front of him before he knew it..
Roman extended his hand..
Thompson closes his eyes and prepares for death..
I didn't kill him.
After checking his waist, he took out the magic communication device that was firmly fixed and brought it to his mouth..
“can you hear my voice?”
Beyond the communicator.
Roman found Hector's commander.
I didn't hear an answer.
Even though I had obviously just talked to Thompson, there was only cold silence over the communicator..
Roman said.
“I know what you guys are thinking. The plan is to attack the southern front simultaneously, divert attention, and then capture the warp gate. It's probably not a plan prepared for a day or two. Although the Kingdom of Cairo was caught off guard, your plan was perfect. But why did they go to such lengths to take over the southern front? Why on earth did the Kingdom of Hector, whose people were starving to death due to an unprecedented famine, risk their lives to take over the southern front with nothing to gain?.”
Lights flickered around..
Even though the soldiers checked their surroundings, they had no idea what Roman was doing right nearby..
“There is only one correct answer. Trying to solve the country's problems through war. It is clear that you are trying to make a large deal with the Cairo royal family by holding the southern front hostage. If it weren't for that reason, there wouldn't have been a need to do this. The reason why the soldiers of Hector's kingdom remaining in the rear camp are preparing for the castle may be to show a clear threat to the Cairo royal family..”
twitch.
laughed.
The opponent's plan went perfectly, but it was falling apart one by one due to his presence..
“The problem is that I found out about the plan. You don't have time. With troops that didn't even have enough supplies to begin with, they wouldn't be able to last for more than three months at most. I have no intention of letting you do what you are doing. I will hold out until the end and thwart your plans..”
This contact.
thoroughly intended.
Hector's kingdom actually has little time..
They went through numerous trials and errors to reduce the margin of error, and chose to occupy the warp gate to end the war in a short period of time..
Perfect plans actually revealed their weaknesses.
If Roman hadn't mentioned his weakness, they might have thought there was still time, but by contacting them directly, they pushed Hector's kingdom to the brink..
‘There are no options in Hector’s kingdom anyway. Therefore, the truth they tried so hard to ignore will make them impatient..’
own existence.
It can't be overlooked anymore..
How on earth can they negotiate with the Cairo royal family when someone who clearly understands their intentions is holding out?.
He was an outsider..
If you can't deal with Roman.
They will collapse like sand castles.
‘With this, the goal was achieved.’
Whether the opponent gives up and retreats.
Or fight till the end.
Roman’s contact created a variable..
With this one contact, Hector's kingdom will never return to a better situation than before..
It was then.
[Are you Roman Dmitri??]
Edwin Hector.
He who had remained silent finally reacted..
