Chapter 271 Second Coming of the Heavenly Demon (天魔再臨) (3)
For now, the Kronos Empire has established itself in Goseong.
Since the 300,000-strong army could not be accommodated inside Goseong, only the main forces were brought inside, and the rest were formed as a garrison outside the fortress.
And the leaders were immediately summoned to the meeting.
The problem of concern was solved by securing food, but rather, the ideal situation gave rise to new concerns.
said the Duke of Bamford.
“Tell me what you think about the current situation.”
I asked for an opinion.
When it was impossible to draw conclusions on its own, it was necessary to borrow the power of collective intelligence.
Duke Bamford’s flexible decision came from his attitude of accepting opinions.
The people who had served the Duke of Bamford in the meantime said what they thought in turn, as if they were familiar with situations like this.
“Couldn’t it have been a failure to try the clear night tactic? The Cairo Dmitry Alliance tried to trap the Imperial Army by abandoning the Western Front, but thanks to the commander’s prediction of the enemy’s tactics, the Western Front was captured without any damage. It is highly likely that the enemies did not think of disposing of the materials of the old castle in a situation that is turning faster than expected.”
“My opinion is the same. The food was checked and there were no problems with poison. It is clear that the preparation here was complacent, thinking that we would not have been able to grasp the existence of Goseong.”
Opinion was unified.
In fact, it was a situation that I couldn’t understand otherwise.
this war.
The difference in power was overwhelming.
The strength of Cronus and the 300,000-strong army had no chance of losing in an all-out war against the Kingdom Alliance.
Therefore, the opponent’s choices were bound to be limited.
In a situation where an all-out war must be avoided at all costs, time is not allowed.
Even if Cortas was captured, the army of the Cronus Empire would always arrive in the west, and from then on, there was no way to win.
It was a dilemma.
The only way for Roman Dmitri to win is to use the clear night tactics and aim for a single opportunity to weaken his power, but as he secured Goseong’s food, even the slightest possibility evaporated.
In common sense judgment, it was a perfect victory for the Cronus Empire.
The leaders who followed Duke Bamford to numerous battlefields did not deny that Cronus had an overwhelming advantage this time around.
Is that why?
Duke Bamford kept having strange thoughts.
The leaders say that the occupation of the old castle was a move from God, but they couldn’t understand that Dmitri had waged such a reckless war in the first place.
Information about Roman Dmitri that I have figured out so far. He was not easy enough to bet on an improbable war.
said the Duke of Bamford.
“If the. What if what Dmitri really wants is to lock us up in an old castle and force us into a head-on confrontation?”
“… That makes no sense.”
“It is practically impossible. Are you going to induce an all-out war with Kronos because they are crazy?”
The backlash came right away.
It was an excessive speculation to tie the feet of the Cronus Empire with the castle as bait.
It was a common sense reaction.
However, once the question started biting the tail, I didn’t know that it would seldom subside.
‘Roman Dmitry. What the hell are you trying to do?’
why is he
Did you declare war with only Dmitri’s strength?
Unless the starting point of the question was resolved, this problem could not be fully accepted in my head.
Even until the meeting is over.
The firm expression of the Duke of Bamford was not convinced.
* * *
That time.
Conversations about Dmitry Roman took place in other places as well.
King Edwin Hector Redford King of the Franks.
At the gathering of those classified as pro-Dmitri, the King of the Franks showed a worried reaction.
“… The Kronos Empire has already taken down the Western Front. Roman Dmitri has shown great success in capturing Rascal and Cortas, but in order not to be pushed back, shouldn’t we send reinforcements quickly? In a situation where it is almost certain that Umberto and Odelia will side with the Kronos Empire, an ambiguous attitude can doom us.”
Roman Dmitry’s moves.
It was disconcerting.
In the war against the Cronus Empire, he first launched a preemptive strike and defeated Rascal and Cortas in turn, proving that it was not a mere declaration of war.
It was unprecedented in the history of the Salamander Continent.
In a situation where the flames of war were spreading rapidly, the King of the Franks wanted to somehow add his strength.
When Dmitry breaks down.
That was the end.
The Frankish kingdom will pay a cruel price just for choosing Chin Dmitri.
Edwin Hector shook his head.
“no. Not now. Roman Dmitri said he would prove that he could fight the Kronos Empire with only Dmitri’s strength. Perhaps it is a decision to show that this war is not impossible. So why don’t you watch it? If Roman Dmitri really proves his words with results, then there is no reason to fear the Kronos Empire anymore.”
“I am still worried. The Duke of Bamford of Kronos is not an easygoing person.”
It was King Redford.
Edwin Hector spoke his true heart to the reaction that everyone couldn’t put down their worries easily.
“Actually, when I heard the report that Roman Dmitri-sama had taken possession of Cortas’ Warp Gate, I felt genuinely afraid. It’s not because it’s a special strategy. I heard a special story when I visited Dmitri on the day of the proclamation of the Principality of Dmitri.”
The conversation partner was Chris.
Now in the same boat, Chris told me a subject that might interest Edwin Hector.
“Your lord has spoken a few words of acknowledgment to Prince Edwin Hector. Everyone thinks of a bold decision to attack a warp gate, but putting it into action is a difficult problem. Since then, your master has been studying about warp gates. I didn’t ask why, but it probably means that Prince Edwin Hector’s strategy was impressive.”
It was a simple compliment.
Words that people would take with pleasure came as a shock to Edwin Hector.
Edwin Hector said.
“The war on the southern front was a complete defeat for Hector. In the confrontation with Roman Dmitri, none of my strategies worked, and I’ve never felt so devastated in my life. By the way, Roman Dmitri-nim is also learning from ‘Overwhelming Victory’ by finding elements that can help him develop. That’s scary. Even then, the existence that I dare not touch continues to whip me.”
Kronos and Dmitri.
At the crossroads of either/or, Edwin Hector chose Dmitri.
Apart from the fact that he had a bad relationship with Kronos, he hoped that his experience would not be hostile to Roman Dmitri.
“I would rather avoid hostile situations with Dmitri than the Kronos Empire. An experience like this once in a lifetime is enough. So believe and wait. He must have plans to turn things around, just like I lost on the Southern Front, which I thought was a complete victory.”
believed
that you have experienced
Demon of the Southern Front Roman Dmitri of the day.
* * *
Roman Dmitry’s path was smooth.
As Duke Bamford led most of his forces towards the western front, the forces remaining in eastern Kronos were unable to stop Dimitri’s attack.
In an instant, Eastern Kronos fell into the hands of Roman Dmitri.
Roman Dmitry ordered sufficient rest in the situation ahead of the decisive battle with the Kronos Empire, which is now in Cairo territory.
that day.
There was a man who couldn’t sleep.
Beneath the moonlight, Kevin swung his sword alone.
Kwalung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
in imagination.
Aura exploded.
Through the violent storm of aura, he could see Sven running towards him.
Quaang!
His face was stained with pain.
After fighting head-on, Kevin’s aura was shattered and Sven’s sword cut through his body, causing pain.
It was a painful situation just imagining it.
In a single blow, Kevin’s body completely lost control and there was no way to deal with a monster like Sven with a crippled body.
finished.
head blown off
He analyzed his confrontation with Sven countless times, but the end was always his own death.
‘If I meet a strong man like Sven again on the battlefield. What can I do for my lord?’
does not exist.
He was just a boy in the slums, but it was a great thing to have reached the level he is now, so it was too greedy to go beyond the 6-star aura test.
He didn’t even know about it.
It was only natural that he was defeated by Sven, and he deserved praise just for defeating him with a pincer attack.
but.
couldn’t go to bed
When I thought of Henderson lying in the bed next to me, I was overcome with uncontrollable emotions.
‘I don’t want to repeat what happened then. If I fall helplessly As always, it’s up to the master to solve the problems I couldn’t handle. People say that Dmitri’s actions were attributable to the people who followed the lord, but the truth all stemmed from the belief that the lord would solve the problem.’
swung the sword
Summons a virtual Sven and rushes at it like a madman.
The results were disastrous.
stumble and stumble
At a time when others were soundly asleep, Kevin was messed up.
memory of that day.
Anger was brewing.
Emotions that are not controlled have caused a heart attack on an insurmountable wall.
“Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”
eyes turned red.
The moment I was about to be completely consumed by the demon in my heart, someone’s voice broke through the confusion.
“Kevin.”
It was clear.
Voiced by Roman Dmitry.
At the call of the existence he longed for, his eyes that had been glistening with murderous intent regained their original form.
* * *
No explanation needed.
Kevin’s wanderings.
I was watching.
Ever since I joined Cortas, I’ve heard that Kevin hasn’t been able to sleep for a second.
The face is pale.
Roman Dmitri calmly said in a situation where the heart was blooming and appearing from the complexion.
“I have something to tell you from now on.”
it’s a little bit.
It was a story that was far from his own problem, which Kevin could not readily accept.
“As I analyzed what people say about ‘aura’, I found that the ways of this world had developed in the wrong direction. At one time, I thought that drawing out extreme destructive power through reckless eruption might be a new method, but I was convinced that it was not the case while dealing with Barbossa and other strong people on the continent.”
The day Chris taught me about aura.
Roman Dmitry declared it a crap way.
As time passed, he admitted that this was also a new branch, but felt a sense of difference in the confrontation with Barbossa.
The confrontation of the day was a head-on test of his strength.
How strong is the existence called the Twelve Swords of the Continent in the world, how many swords can you manifest against him and defeat him?
however.
Barbossa’s swordsmanship had no basis.
Just as there is a saying, the swordsmanship must ultimately reach a destination in any way, as there is a saying, but the way Barbossa uses her aura was simply the end of the destructive power defined as 6 stars.
Doubts arose.
If the destructive power by eruption is the root of them, the distinction between sexes is meaningless.
Midfielder Murim’s swordsmanship does not decide the game only with destructive power.
Softness overpowered strength, and each individual swordsmanship blossomed to create a world called ‘Jungwon Murim’.
However, I couldn’t understand how to use the aura of this world.
Magical civilization has made admirable progress, but the history of the aura swordsmen is not exactly the same as being poor.
at that time.
got the confidence
That his swordsmanship is the best in the continent.
From the moment Barbossa was named one of the twelve swords of the continent, there was no one in the world who could discuss the sword against him.
so that.
“In a life-and-death battle, the power of an aura does not guarantee victory. You may have faced an insurmountable wall in a confrontation with a 6-star swordsman, but in fact, the existence of that wall means that you created it. If you accurately grasp the essence of the aura and have the power to match it. Even if you are only a 3-star aura swordsman, it is not impossible to defeat a 6-star aura swordsman.”
There was a ripple in Kevin’s eyes.
Roman Dmitry’s words.
It was a new world.
As he said, Kevin was prepared to give his life if he could get the power to defeat Sven.
Looking at Kevin like that.
said Roman Dmitry.
“From now on, the name of what I am going to teach is called the Heavenly Demon Sword.”
