Chapter 409 Continental Conquest (8),
right after absorbing the Northeast Alliance.
Lucas, who was called by Roman Dmitri, reacted in bewilderment to the unexpected order.
“… Are you planning to fight the Kronos Empire?”
just ordered.
There was no room for interpretation other than war.
At that time, Dmitri was just a family in Cairo, and the central government was dominated by influential figures such as the Marquis Benedict.
But the order to prepare for a war with Cronus?
I knew that Roman Dmitri was not an ordinary person, but the picture he thought of was beyond common sense.
said Roman Dmitry.
“Lucas. Cairo has already crossed an irreversible river. King Daniel Cairo has no power to defend the country, and various forces drawing different pictures have taken control of Cairo. I will ask you. If we go against the central government, do you think we can achieve the desired result simply by defeating the enemy in front of us?”
“… Perhaps the background will intervene.”
“Yes. Either Kronos or Valhalla. They will not just watch as Cairo regains stability. The civil war in Cairo will obviously result in the intervention of the Empire, and in order to create the future we truly desire, we must think of an all-out war with the Empire in the distant future. It’s not just a prediction. It is a future that will surely happen, and that is why I am preparing for a war against them from now on.”
Southern Front.
Roman Dmitry, who defeated Hector and returned home, witnessed numerous movements to occupy himself in the process of non-gong haengsang (論功行賞).
Daniel Cairo couldn’t control the situation.
When the aristocratic Marquis Benedict, Valhalla’s Earl of Denver, and Cronus’s Count Gregory made sweet proposals, the Cairo royal family watched what was happening within the kingdom like a blind man.
at last.
Civil war will happen.
In a situation where the security of the country was shaking, the intervention of the empire was inevitable, so Roman Dmitri tried to prepare for the storm that would come to Cairo.
Dmitri will end the civil war in Cairo.
So, he absorbed the Northeast Alliance and laid the foundation, and he also thought of an all-out war with the Empire.
War is like that.
In the process of deciding it, if you had a complacent mind that it would end in an appropriate line, you would have been swept away by variables such as the alliance between Cronus and Valhalla.
Therefore, from the beginning, war was a predetermined future.
With the idea that the two major mountain ranges of the continent would end at some point, they did not simply prepare for war, but drew a future in their heads that would subdue them.
to that command.
Lucas gasped.
‘What are you… … .’
Roman Dmitry.
It was an existence beyond common sense.
While others were talking about 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, in the appearance of Roman Dmitri that he had experienced in the meantime.
Lucas involuntarily nodded at his ability to turn absurd things into reality.
“All right. I will do as you command.”
that day.
The secret conversation between the two laid the foundation for Dmitri’s distant future.
* * *
Back to the present.
said Lucas.
“In the meantime, the Dmitri Information Guild has invested tens of thousands of manpower in preparation for the war with the Cronus Empire and the Valhalla Empire. Among them, I will tell you about the plan to overthrow Kronos. We formed an information network within the Kronos Empire and investigated the secret passages connected to the Kronos Imperial Palace. In the long history, Cronus has never faced a major crisis, but the Emperor’s safety is more important than anything else, so he was sure of the existence of the secret passage. As a result, we found the location of the secret passage.”
“… A secret passage.”
“You mean to infiltrate the capital through there?”
The leaders were surprised.
Did you find the secret passage?
I couldn’t help but admire Roman Dmitri’s preparedness and the fact that it worked.
Lucas shook his head.
“no. At first, that part was also considered, but the secret passage was built as a structure that would collapse on its own if you were not of the imperial lineage. The same applies when trying to dispel magic defense, so there is no direct way to use the Secret Passage just because you know it exists. But that doesn’t mean it’s meaningless.”
charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
unfolded the map.
It was a record of the structure of the secret passage, but it was difficult to see with the naked eye.
“The existence of secret passages is unfamiliar to the Kronos Empire as well. When the imperial palace was first built, it was made for emergencies, but it was never actually used, so people in the Kronos Empire lack understanding of the secret passage. We want to attack that part. The method is simple. It will send smoke through a secret passage. As soon as people realize that the source of the smoke is a secret passage, they have no choice but to expect an intrusion into the fact that smoke cannot happen unless it is intentional. That’s a trap that will confuse your enemies. If the enemy forces are dispersed due to sudden variables, we will immediately proceed with the second operation.”
The gaze was focused.
Everyone swallowed dry saliva.
Even Chris, who had always raised doubts, knew that Lucas was thoroughly prepared.
“In fact, it took a long time to prepare for the second operation. The basis of the Dmitry Information Guild lies in the ruling class. The purpose of the Dmitri Information Guild is to secure beings who are not socially classified as powerful people and to unite the pieces of information obtained through them. The second operation started in the same vein. Infiltrating as a worker in Cronus. If a war begins, all countries will work to repair parts such as the walls by injecting workers in common. If you coax workers right before a war breaks out, their identity and their actions will be questioned, but an operation carried out at a time when the trouble has not started will clear the enemy of suspicion. That’s what we really want to get out of the first mess.”
Workers moved their horses.
near the ramparts.
When I put it down in an unexpected place, people got goosebumps.
“The magic defense on the Kronos Wall is very strong. Unlike the wars that have been going on so far, we have decided that it will not be easy to break down the walls, so we have planted bombs that do not respond to magic through workers throughout the walls. It’s made of the same material as the walls, so it goes unnoticed, and when it hits the walls, it will cause a chain explosion, weakening the walls’ durability. The workers plan to set off magic bombs on the inner walls in time for the attack on the walls.”
Shuk.
I raised my head.
He looked around at the shocked people and stopped his gaze at Roman Dmitri, who calmly listened to the strategy.
“This is the end of the operation I prepared. Dispersion of power and weakening of the walls. The situation after that is up to the master.”
* * *
The next day.
operation has begun.
The palace guards had no choice but to fall on fire at the sudden smoke rising from inside the palace.
“what? Where is the smoke coming from?”
“It’s a secret passage! There must be a secret passage!”
The moment you recognize the danger.
The imperial palace turned upside down.
An emergency security system was immediately activated and this fact was relayed to the Marquis of Memphis.
“Say it again. what?”
“… Apparently, Dmitri broke in through the emergency passage. The secret passageway is a structure where smoke cannot enter, but smoke is leaking from there. The problem is that you cannot enter the secret passage unless you are of imperial lineage, but your opponent is Roman Dmitry. If it was an existence that deviated from common sense every time, it would surely have solved the problem of the secret passage.”
“this.”
to the subordinate’s report.
The Marquis of Memphis reacted with bewilderment.
The war with Dmitry had to be protracted.
If it showed shaking in just a few days, the Kronos Empire’s resistance could not achieve any results.
“Call in the troops right now. We can never win the war against Dmitri if we allow enemies to invade from within. Opponent is Roman Dmitri. If we have the complacency of being only one, we will repeat the defeats of the past.”
It was an urgent call.
war in the past.
Each time I lost because of only one person.
Even if only a small number of people broke into it, it was a disaster the moment Roman Dmitri was included in that number.
The reaction that seemed to cause a game was very natural.
At the call of the Marquis of Memphis, troops were immediately deployed, and a layered defense system was formed around the secret passage.
And that wasn’t all.
Arriving at the scene, the Marquis of Memphis screamed at the soldiers.
“Close the secret passage right now. And there may be enemies inside, so inject poison gas into the passage.”
“All right.”
It was a perfect response.
If there are enemies in the secret passage.
Even Roman Dmitry would have a hard time surviving.
Of course, there was a bit of uneasiness in my heart.
why did the smoke happen?
In fact, wouldn’t it be normal to leave no traces like smoke if you moved through a secret passage?
but.
The opponent had no choice but to react sensitively to the variables of Roman Dmitry.
‘Only one. If we fail to recognize that the smoke is a signal of our enemies’ mistakes, we will face a disaster beyond our control. Even if the enemy uses the secret passage with some intention, we have no choice but to respond to the variable with all our might.’
It was a grim reality.
Even knowing the existence of a variable.
A response was forced.
The Marquis of Memphis quickly sorted things out and was relieved to see that the entrance was closed.
It was then.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
far away
A huge explosion was heard.
The Marquis of Memphis turned her head to check the direction of the sound, and then realized that something was wrong.
“… damn it.”
sure
Seongdonggyukseo (聲東擊西).
Anxiety became a reality.
* * *
That time when the imperial palace was in an uproar.
Roman Dmitry walked towards the wall.
“It’s Roman Dmitry!”
“Attack!”
above the castle wall.
The soldiers moved busily.
The archers stepped forward and fired arrows, followed by the wizards’ magic.
It was an overkill against just one person, but they were willing to do anything to deal with Roman Dmitri.
Unfortunately, the attack did not work.
Felix and the phoenix wizards Edwin Hector and the wizards of the sky raised their magical powers to protect Roman Dmitri.
“Shield.”
“shield.”
Quaang!
Pupper puffer puck.
All attacks are blocked by magic defense.
Through the thick clouds of dust, Roman Dmitry did not stop, stopping not far from the city walls.
The walls of the Kronos capital were huge.
The height of the invisible end of the castle walls made of hard materials and the magic defense installed in layers have never collapsed in history.
everyone in the world.
They bowed their heads at the majesty of the empire.
Looking at the scenery that overwhelmed everyone, Roman Dmitri felt rather familiar.
his life.
Fighting against the strong was a daily routine.
Because they were strong, they recognized each other’s existence, and because they were strong, they exposed their ferocious teeth to destroy each other.
In the first place, it is a world that the weak cannot be allowed to.
In a world of weak meat, Roman Dmitri has risen to the top as a predator that eats predators.
‘Alexandre’s ways once made me question. It’s obviously the wrong way, but the destructive power pursued by excessive eruption can sometimes be more effective than restrained force. For example, when facing a strong opponent like Alexander, martial arts will be a sure solution, but in a situation facing a huge castle wall, reckless eruption is also a bad option. can’t.’
closely.
I grabbed the sword.
took a stance
I wanted to try it out.
Alexander’s way.
What will happen if you solve it in your own way?
It was an unnecessary method in Moorim.
Murim won the battle with ordinary warriors rather than a siege battle over a castle.
That’s why the eruption of energy to attack indiscriminately against the majority was an inefficient method.
However, even in this world, it could not be said to be unconditionally inefficient.
In the situation of attacking the huge wall, it might be another way.
Roman Dmitry.
No, the heavenly demon, Baek Joong-hyuk.
It always has been.
He accepted the world without prejudice and the power that Alexander had abandoned was newly manifested through Roman Dmitri.
widely.
one step.
took a step forward
In the process of Roman Dmitri extending his sword, Danjeon’s mana exploded, and the moment he swung his sword toward the castle wall, an active volcano erupted.
It was a huge explosion.
A tens of meters of aura arose from the sword, and it expressed an overwhelming presence like a blow wielded by a giant.
‘From now on, I will name it Heavenly Sword.’
above the castle wall.
People lost their minds.
There was no way to respond or how to respond.
At the blow of the giant, they were swept away by a storm of aura.
Quaang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
* * *
Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrating.
The aftermath of the explosion boiled over.
On the battlefield where the shock had not yet subsided, the soldiers of the Cronus Empire witnessed a devastating sight.
“Ughhhhh!”
“evil!”
Screams were heard from all sides.
Part of the massive castle wall had collapsed, and soldiers buried in the ruins screamed in pain.
It was an incredible sight to see in person.
Roman Dmitry barely attempted a blow, and the impregnable castle, which had never allowed an enemy invasion in history, collapsed.
they couldn’t know
A magic bomb planted inside the castle wall.
Explosion in the inner wall.
And Roman Dmitry’s blow.
Their imaginations could not have predicted that the three elements would destroy the wall at once.
It was shocking.
Everyone was stunned.
in between.
Bubbly.
Roman Dmitry moved on.
He took a step towards the space where the dust wind blew, and spoke calmly with his sword hanging down.
“let’s go.”
That moment.
“Attack!”
“Destroy the Empire!”
“For Dmitri!”
right behind you.
Cheers like deterioration erupted.
The soldiers of the Kingdom Alliance, led by Chris and Kevin, rushed past Roman Dmitri and rushed towards Cronus Castle.
Sparks flew.
Really now.
It was time to destroy Kronos.
