Chapter 396 Alexander (1)
When Cronus first declared war.
What happened in Cairo?
Bubbly.
A group of people walked through the corridors of the palace.
I strode and reached the front of the conference room. After the guards were polite, they opened the conference room door wide.
“His Majesty the King of Cairo is entering.”
Sigh.
Inside the conference room.
The leaders who had been seated in advance stood up in unison and bowed their heads toward Daniel Cairo.
Daniel Cairo’s attitude of accepting the gaze was quite familiar.
After being greeted by the leaders with a light nod, he recommended that the leaders also take their seats after sitting in the upper seat.
let’s all sit down
Daniel Cairo immediately got to the point.
“I heard a report that the Kronos Empire broke the truce and crossed the border. This is something we didn’t want or something we expected and prepared for. Norbert. Report the current enemy situation.”
Norbert.
He was the person in charge of information.
In the new reorganization, Daniel Cairo recognized the importance of information and placed him in a key position.
“It is estimated that the Kronos Empire mobilized about 500,000 troops for this attack. The number is higher than in the previous war, and at the same time, we have confirmed the information that troops were sent to Umberto Kingdom. The problem isn’t just head count. They summoned all the Kronos Knights and wizards in their own country, probably intending to win this war for sure. As in the last war, if they operate a detached unit using ‘teleport’, no place in Cairo will be safe.”
“Simon Knight Commander. What is the status of troops in Cairo?”
passed the right to speak.
When Count Nicholas died, Simon, who was the lieutenant commander of the Royal Knights, took over the military department.
“I issued a summons to the nobles of Cairo. Since we have already asked for their understanding, we plan to complete the formation of our troops within the next three days, as we have been training. And in the case of the Western Front, preparations are over. In addition to magic defense, we have secured a movement path so that we can support it directly through the warp gate.”
“Wizards?”
“We hired as many war mages as possible. They have undergone military training in Cairo for several months and will soon be deployed on the Western Front. Not only that, but they also called in all the mercenaries active in the Salamander Continent. It is a job to deal with the Kronos Empire, so the pay for success is not easy, but thanks to that, we were able to deploy about 100,000 additional troops to the Western Front.”
after Simon.
The person who manages the finances as if inheriting the baton said.
“Thanks to the preparation of the war fund in advance, the inventory of magic consumables or the wages of the mercenaries are not a problem at all. It is thanks to the full support of the nobles of Cairo. We have enough provisions, so even if it leads to a long war, we can endure it.”
last year.
It was a scene that showed that Cairo was not idle.
Daniel Cairo said with a solemn face in the appearance of the leaders who proved their worth in turn.
“The history of Cairo has always suffered from foreign aggression. Even just a few years ago, Cairo’s power system was torn apart by foreign interference, and the Marquis Benedict rebelled with Cronus on his back. Cairo at that time was weak. But not now. We have tasted freedom and know that we must be strong to defend our rights.”
It was a heavy voice.
There were no young kings.
He overwhelms the crowd and shows his eyes burning with strong desire.
“The betrayal of Kronos was expected by everyone. We have been constantly preparing for this day, so it will not collapse easily. Prove it to your enemies. That the Kingdom of Cairo is not a country that is easy enough to cross the border at any time. The fact that if you set foot on our territory, you will pay the price. We will share the future with Dmitry and will no longer be a country that succumbs to force.”
Blood boiled.
Daniel Cairo.
got up from the seat
As everyone followed suit, he looked into the eyes of the leaders and spoke strongly.
“Struggle. Destroy the enemy. On the hellish battlefield in the future chaos. I will be with you too.”
* * *
Last week.
It was an intense time.
Due to the Kronos Empire that attacked every day, the Western Front did not stop screaming in pain.
“Aaaagh!”
“Don’t back down! Step back and everything is over!”
above the castle wall.
Cairo’s soldiers brandished their weapons in anger.
Part of the castle wall collapsed due to the continued magic attack, and Cronus’ soldiers rushed in like waves and slaughtered at random.
There were piles of corpses everywhere.
Even if they had great will, they could not completely block the attack, and the blood-stained walls proved how fierce the past week had been.
It was at stake.
But I persevered.
The reason why Cairo has not given up so far is because of two factors that support them.
first.
“The left wall is dangerous! Send in reserve troops to support it!”
Amidst the chaos of the battlefield.
Daniel Cairo was there.
His words of sharing the risk were not false, and he appeared on the Western Front and inspired the Cairo soldiers with courage.
It did not play a significant role strategically.
Although Marquis Vandenberg was actually in command of the soldiers, he ignited the will of the soldiers just by his presence.
“die!”
“His Majesty the King of Cairo is watching! Fight to the end!”
“Never be pushed back by enemies!”
Everyone fell for evil.
Tears flowed.
past past.
Cairo was a country that was not like a country.
Daniel Cairo was in the position of king, but the people of Cairo were pushed out of the priority due to the system of power that was torn to pieces.
Empire always came first.
The moment Kronos says that Valhalla wants something. Cairo had no choice but to put everything aside and follow their choices.
It was different now.
Daniel Cairo put his country first.
He took care of the safety of the people and was building a country worthy of his country through union with Dmitry.
so that.
couldn’t get away
I found freedom, but I couldn’t give it away like this.
and second.
Flash.
Papa papapat.
Chris strode across the battlefield.
a few days ago.
Cairo was on the verge of collapse, but the situation was reversed when Dmitri sent reinforcements.
Dmitri’s soldiers, including Chris, showed outstanding strength.
It literally slaughtered the jokjok that encountered the imperial army, and the wizards of the phoenix exploded their magical powers and took on the role of one per hundred.
It was close.
It seems like it’s about to collapse.
Cairo held out.
Some might say it was only a week, but it was the result of Cairo’s thorough preparations.
‘The war is not over yet.’
Kwak.
Daniel Cairo clenched his fists.
of course.
The Western Front was precarious.
However, according to reports, Roman Dmitri broke through Valhalla’s siege and moved to help Umberto Kingdom.
Things were changing.
From the moment Roman Dmitri joined, he believed that he would be able to counterattack and destroy the giant called the Kronos Empire.
really.
really maybe
“Fight to the end! Show the enemy what kind of country Cairo is!”
I thought I might win this war.
* * *
Dark space.
Alexandre looked at the various screens with a cold face.
first screen.
It was Dmitry.
I tried to destroy the place without Roman Dmitri by mobilizing Mystique and the shadows, but rather ended up being destroyed.
The process touched Alexander’s planting.
Mystique, who specializes in space movement magic, was killed by Chris, and Ares was also captured alive by Kevin.
second screen.
It was Hector.
In fact, Hector was a weak country that was not even treated as a variable, and the lord of the Mage Tower in the Sky said he would devour Edwin Hector and destroy them as planned.
However, an unexpected situation occurred.
Edwin Hector rather absorbs the Celestial Magic Tower and reaches Circle 7.
After accepting an oath of allegiance from the wizards of the sky, he showed himself enduring a week against Valhalla.
I was annoyed.
It was a perfect plan.
Failure is not tolerated, but on the two battlefields planted with traitors, the ridiculous happened.
And that wasn’t all.
Valhalla failed in pursuit of Roman Dmitri.
As soon as he heard the report that the siege had been broken, Alexander destroyed the existence he had reported.
“You are struggling to the end.”
singly.
so one by one.
His plans were crumbling.
Although it is a perfect plan that has been melted down for many years, the change caused by Roman Dmitri caused cracks throughout the continent.
Meanwhile, Roman Dmitri appeared in Umberto.
Even the plan to destroy Umberto had failed, and he could no longer laugh at the report that he had crossed the border.
I was angry.
I was annoyed.
If things had gotten this far, he might have been questioned about his qualities by the man Alexander served.
“Roman Dmitry. You are the one who makes me move.”
Kururureureung.
got up from the seat
He tried to hide his existence until the last moment, but he couldn’t because of Roman Dmitri.
I will tear him to pieces.
I will make him suffer even if he dies as much as he angered me.
but.
Not now.
There is one last thing you need to check.
‘I will send Castro to prove my ways. If I can’t really defeat him with my method, if Roman Dmitri is defeated, I will revive his soul and look into his previous life. It is an important matter to me to find out the life that Roman Dmitri lived, comparable to the continental conquest.’
that.
It was a personal aspiration.
An intense longing in the heart of a man named Alexander, who had nothing to do with the One he served.
Then, the next target is set.
Alexandre’s gaze turned to one screen.
‘Cairo.’
Western Front.
As Castro shouted, Alexander’s goal was the kingdom of Cairo.
* * *
The day was bright.
Cairo and Kronos.
Like a repetitive daily life, they had a fight to the death in front of the wall.
“die!”
“Kill all enemies!”
It was fierce.
Seeing the people covered in blood showing their intent to kill each other, Alexander slowly moved towards the wall.
It was a very unreal scene.
Around him, a soldier with an arrow pierced through his head fell backwards, but he walked slowly as if he were out for a walk.
It was then.
tall.
I stopped walking.
From a distance that was quite far away, Alexander looked at the castle wall and showed a sad look in his eyes.
“It is over.”
anger.
Mana woke up.
Alexander’s fingertips pointed toward the castle wall.
“Lightning Punishment.”
Flash.
the world has brightened
I wondered if the flashing lights in the sky were coloring the whole world, but people’s ears were instantly deaf.
yet.
Quaang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
A huge explosion pierced my ears.
The soldiers screamed and grabbed their bleeding ears, but the pain didn’t matter to them now.
The place where the lightning struck was destroyed.
The space that was protected by layers of magic and guarded by thousands of soldiers was destroyed at once, taking countless lives.
People lost their minds.
The accident circuit was stopped.
At a time when I still couldn’t accept that this was reality, the sky’s wrath struck down several times as if it hadn’t ended.
flash
Quarreureung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The world was dyed white.
Both allies and enemies were swept away by the tremendous power, and there was no way for the Cairo Kingdom to stop it.
Phonics wizards used defensive magic.
A shield that appeared in an instant blocked the thunderbolt, but once the world flashed, the shield shattered and penetrated the wizards’ heads.
It was overwhelming.
Countless troops lost to just one spell.
“… iced coffee.”
above the castle wall.
Daniel Cairo was in the ruined space.
suddenly.
A memory came to mind.
“The existence that destroyed Odelia. He is a being who uses divine magic. Otherwise, it is impossible to blow up the entire capital city with magic.”
memory of that day.
I had goosebumps all over my body.
Mages dared to mention the realm of the 9th circle, but people disagreed at the time, saying that it was not realistic.
It had to be.
In a situation where even Shaphyr’s 8th Circle magic was difficult to accept, the fact that the Kronos Empire had a 9th Circle magician could not be acknowledged.
no.
was not to be acknowledged.
Dealing with the wizard of the 9th circle meant that no matter how desperately he tried, there was an unbearable despair.
and before your eyes.
Alexander appeared.
Daniel Cairo exclaimed urgently as he walked toward the wall.
“Everyone retreat! We will get out of here and reorganize the situation!”
It was a quick decision.
no matter how you think
There was no way to deal with that monster.
Now was the time to step back, and Cairo’s and Dimitri’s soldiers hurriedly left the battlefield with frightened faces.
It was the moment when all the hard work had become meaningless.
In the meantime, I tried so hard to protect this place, but the back of the run was helpless and shabby.
“Ku-k-k-k-k.”
Alexander laughed.
walked the battlefield
Watching the people running away as if their feet were on fire, he exploded the mana on his fingertips as if playing a joke.
“die.”
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The pointed space exploded.
Countless soldiers were caught in the blast.
It was fun.
Seeing the enemies give up their resistance, Alexandre put mana into his voice as if everyone would listen.
“okay! Scream like that! In despair! Run away like a coward and let the world know about my existence! That I, Alexander, have descended into the world. I will become the ruler of this continent!”
at las.
Emperor Alexander.
he made his presence known.
