Chapter 104 The Unfinished War (1)
The basis for Baron Vasily’s judgment came from the report of the scouts who went out to reconnaissance.
“The enemy is advancing rapidly towards the third line of defense. The advance team is likely to arrive in the next two hours, and the second team is following the advance team with war materials. According to what we checked, the number of people in the advance team was about 2,500, and the second group seemed to be about 500.”
A total of three thousand troops.
It was a considerable number of people.
If the kingdom of Hector was established and the flares started spewing flames, Baron Vasily thought that Mercury would have trouble.
So the way I thought was to organize a guerrilla unit and attack the enemy’s rearguard.
‘The southern front does not need to win against Hector Kingdom. If you hold on for just ten days, the main force will arrive in Cairo, and from then on, the situation will turn around at once. Therefore, the operation of guerrilla forces is a very good way to harass the enemy’s rearguard. We interfere as much as possible so that the enemy cannot only focus on the siege, and if the rearguard has flare bullets, we can destroy them and render the flare useless.’
It’s a risky operation.
If five hundred horses were caught by mistake, they might face the worst situation surrounded by three thousand troops.
but.
Didn’t Roman Dmitry do it?
A tremendous move that slaughtered about a thousand enemies, not enough to defeat them with only two hundred troops.
A heroic spirit stirred in Baron Vasily’s chest.
Although he was relegated to the southern front, he was once a three-star swordsman active in the western front.
‘There is no way I can’t say what Roman Dmitri has done. Anyway, from now on, it’s a major fight. The person who has secured as many merits as possible within ten days will be able to enter the central government after the war ends.’
made a decision
Baron Vasily gathered three hundred troops.
After sneaking out of the castle so as not to be discovered by the enemy, they evaded the advance team and preoccupied the path along which the second team moved.
chacha.
“stop.”
He raised his hand and ordered the soldiers to take cover.
Soldiers quickly hide themselves in the grass.
Baron Vasily exerted his full abilities as an aura swordsman to check if the rearguard was approaching the front.
I still haven’t seen the appearance of the aftermath.
However, since this was the southern front, which Baron Vasily knew perfectly, and there was no other way back, he was certain that it would definitely appear.
It was as expected.
from afar.
The appearance of the latter group was seen.
The battle hadn’t even started yet, but Baron Vasily couldn’t hide his desire.
‘The wise man said that crisis is soon opportunity. With today as an opportunity, I will escape from the gutter-like reality.’
A power difference of two hundred.
I thought it was insignificant.
It was believed that if the ragtag people who were slaughtered by only 200 troops could be dealt with sufficiently with 300 troops.
Speed is the key to this operation.
If the enemies quickly set fire to the war materials while they are unconscious, the Hector Kingdom will have no choice but to suffer from difficulties in the future.
I held my breath.
waited for the time
Finally.
The moment the enemies came within range, Baron Vasily kicked the ground and shouted in a mana-laden voice.
“Attack!”
“All-arms charge!”
surprise attack.
Cairo’s soldiers rushing forward were clearly wearing the faces of victors.
* * *
Gurl rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Aura rose.
Baron Vasily released an aura and swung his sword at the knight guarding the front of the enemy.
‘Suppress the baseline with the first attack.’
strong conviction.
I believed the attack would work.
In his mind, he had already cut down the knight and rushed forward.
however.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“… !”
Hector’s Knight.
He also developed an aura.
It was obviously a surprise attack, but Hector’s knight blocked Baron Vasily’s attack as if he had expected it. Clash between aura and aura.
The strong collision made Baron Vasily momentarily dizzy.
Even though he hadn’t exchanged battles many times, he noticed at once that the opponent’s aura was stronger than his own.
‘The opponent is also a 3-star swordsman.’
complexion turned pale.
It was strange.
Contrary to the expected picture, the soldiers who rushed after him screamed one after another and fell out.
“Enemies!”
“The remnants of Cairo have appeared!”
Hector Kingdom’s response was in perfect order.
Arrows embroidered the sky.
He raised his shield to block the arrows and slaughtered the soldiers of Cairo who rushed in unison.
It was the beginning of a massacre.
Obviously, I thought Cairo was an advantageous fight, but as soon as I bumped into it, I was swept away terribly.
“My colleague’s revenge!”
Hector’s soldiers.
A poison rose in their eyes.
As they carried out the funeral of their colleague with tired faces, they gnashed their teeth to get revenge.
Opponent’s surprise attack?
already expected
Roman Dmitri took into account the fact that he could be attacked in any situation because he was a monster who slaughtered countless allies with only the advantages of mountains and darkness.
It was a trap of sorts.
It was an intention to devour the enemies at once, wagging their tails so that the enemies would appear on the plain.
Pang-Pang-
Pang-
The signal flare went off.
It was an instant that the escape route was blocked.
The troops of the advance party, which was thought to be far away, returned in an instant, and while the Cairo soldiers panicked, they completely blocked the retreat.
Everywhere he went, Hector’s soldiers blocked the way.
I tried to break through the road with evil, but there were no ragtags who fell out at once like they expected.
“… This kind of nonsense.”
Baron Vasily.
His eyes widened.
I couldn’t believe it.
According to common sense, he thought that Hector’s kingdom should be a mess, but their quick response was suffocating.
It wasn’t just because I was prepared.
The Kingdom of Hector trained its soldiers sufficiently while preparing for this war in the first place, and the soldiers drunk on the comfort of the southern front were not at the level to deal with.
Baron Vasily hadn’t thought of it.
That it was possible for Roman Dmitrigh.
The miraculous victory gave birth to overconfidence, and he, who was consistently pushed by Hector’s knights, was exhausted.
Quaang!
Arm bounced off.
His face turned pale.
Aura that fills the eyes
‘Fuck.’
Awesome!
That was the last scene he remembered.
* * *
Royal Cairo.
they found a break
He thought he had secured the initiative against Hector Kingdom in just one victory.
joy for a while.
After only a day had passed, the Cairo royal family received a series of shocking reports that were embarrassing.
“The commander of the 3rd Line of Defense, Baron Vasily, is said to have died in a skirmish with the enemy!”
“Your Majesty the King! The 3rd and 4th lines of defense have been overtaken by enemy attacks. All that remains is the second line of defense. If that too collapses, the Southern Front will fall into the hands of Hector Kingdom.”
“Now we have a call from the second line of defense! It is reported that it will not be able to withstand the attacks of the enemies for long!”
one day.
Not even 24 hours had passed since the report that the Hector Kingdom had begun attacking the foremost defensive positions.
The difference in power was obvious.
It is true that the forces on the southern front were at a disadvantage, but as Roman Dmitry took the momentum, he still believed that he could endure ten days.
however.
What does this mean?
Daniel Cairo could not accept the rapidly escalating situation.
‘Are you saying that even a variable we didn’t expect occurred?’
Other than that.
There was no way to explain it.
But that wasn’t the truth either.
The defeated soldiers who barely survived the Hector Kingdom’s attack said this in their last contact with the royal family.
[The flares of Hector Kingdom have finally reached the bottom. Still, we cannot stop them. You can’t stop the kingdom of Hector, who hangs a ladder on the wall and slaughters its allies even though it’s not breaking down the wall and attacking! please save me We cannot last ten days. If we continue like this, it will only be a matter of time before the southern front falls into the hands of the enemy.]
It was shocking news.
Southern Front.
Due to the outdated facilities, the magical defenses to defend against flares were not properly installed.
actually.
I thought the initial defeat was because the meaning of the wall was lost due to the flare.
Hector Kingdom was unable to secure enough war supplies due to the country’s poor situation, and the flares used to subdue the steamer quickly ran out.
However, the results did not change.
Rather, the troops climbing up the wall showed the cruel reality of the Cairo kingdom.
A huge difference in power.
The southern front was crumbling.
Daniel Cairo only then knew what a single victory meant.
‘Cairo Kingdom was strong, but Hector Kingdom was not weak either. A mutant named Roman Dmitri has just created an unconventional victory. we were complacent I should have recognized the difference in power with the enemy and ordered the commanders of the southern front to absolutely avoid confrontation with the enemy.’
perhaps.
Maybe he was expecting it too.
The hope that Roman’s miraculous victory might lead to similar miracles in other battlefields.
Reality collapsed.
in a desperate situation.
“Where is Roman Dmitri now?”
Daniel Cairo naturally had no choice but to find Roman’s existence.
* * *
Roman Dmitry.
The Cairo royal family sought him out.
Henry Albert, who was contacted by the royal family, visited Chris and asked.
“chris! Didn’t Roman say when he would come out? The southern front is just one step away from falling into enemy hands. I don’t know what you’re doing right now, but I have to deliver the royal family’s message to Roman.”
It was frustrating for him.
under the mountain.
The foremost defensive positions were burning.
At this time, it was a golden opportunity to make a revolutionary achievement, but after the battle, Roman completely disappeared.
Chris said.
“This is a situation that was expected.”
“… what?”
“My lord said that the victory against the kingdom of Hector was the result of a lot of luck. If the enemies hadn’t followed the mountain. If only I hadn’t been stubborn to hold on to myself until the end. Hector Kingdom would have captured the southern front sooner than now.”
Roman Dmitry.
He wasn’t drunk on victory.
Faced with reality, he knew what he would be like if he descended from the mountain to stop Hector’s attack.
so that.
Roman ordered a break.
Anticipating Cairo’s defeat, he conserved power.
“… how.”
Henry Albert was speechless.
He couldn’t understand Roman.
guerrilla warfare.
Everyone expected defeat.
When he thought it was a ridiculous operation, he made a decision alone and produced a miraculous victory, but when he thought he had a chance, he took the opposite step.
Certainly not a person who lives in the realm of common sense.
No matter how unfavorable the situation, I couldn’t even dare to guess what I was doing by cutting off contact with the outside world.
got a baby
He had to show the royal family that he was a Roman man, but there was nothing he could do about Chris’s determined attitude.
far away
I saw the location where Roman was.
‘What are you doing there alone?’
He couldn’t tell.
even at this moment.
The fact that Roman Dmitry is taking a step forward.
