Chapter 272 Second Coming of the Heavenly Demon (4)
That day.
Kevin wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep.
“In order for the Kingdom Alliance to win in the future war, you, who have been united with Roman Dmitri, are needed. So leave this place to me. I will defeat Hannibal and follow him soon.”
The words of Count Nicholas.
Chris remembered the moment.
Knowing that the sacrifice of Count Nicholas would become meaningless the moment he hesitated, Chris chose to grit his teeth and run away.
At the time, I believed it was the only way.
Hannibal’s aura was devastating, and he knew that he was a monster that could never be defeated with just a few attacks.
It was a complete defeat.
Leaving the collapsing Western Front behind, I couldn’t bear to look back, using the excuse of strategy.
and a few days ago.
I heard the news of Count Nicholas from the people.
“According to those who confirmed the last appearance of Count Nicholas, they said that he was killed by Hannibal after not being able to hold out for long. He was a true prosecutor. If Count Nicholas had not stopped the Kronos Empire, we might have been annihilated without getting out of the Western Front.”
It was disastrous.
The person who delivered the words tried to alleviate the guilt by saying that Count Nicholas was everyone’s benefactor, but Chris stared at the sky endlessly, feeling powerless over his body.
Following Roman Dmitri, he lived a life of life and death.
In the meantime, he has made rapid progress, but paradoxically, the stronger he gets, the more he realizes that he is just a frog in a well.
The world was wide.
In order to stay by Roman Dmitri’s side, he couldn’t rationalize defeat every time just because the world was wide.
Barbossa.
Hannibal.
strong people like him.
If you can’t do anything against such monsters, the same thing as Count Nicholas is bound to happen again.
Even then, is it right to survive at someone’s sacrifice?
No, even if he survives like that, can he say that he is a necessary existence for Roman Dmitri?
gritted it
The goal Chris hoped for was too high to collapse with a sense of shame.
Roman Dmitry.
I wanted to get over him.
If I fell into a sense of shame like this, I wouldn’t be able to say that I would surpass Roman Dmitri again.
chuck.
got a sword
It was from then.
Chris fell into swordsmanship alone.
How can I use swordsmanship faster and more powerfully?
If he possessed enough swordsmanship to assist Count Nicholas, he would have defeated Hannibal in a pincer attack with him.
My brain got tangled up in a mess. Roman Dmitri’s sneak attack and Jonathan Knight Commander’s secret skill.
Spreading them dazzlingly, he constantly swung his sword to advance to a new level.
always.
Chris looked at Roman Dmitri from a distance.
I had a strong desire to receive direct instruction during the accumulated time of a day or two, but I couldn’t because of Roman Dmitri’s words to develop myself.
Memories of that time came to mind one by one.
How Roman Dmitry swung his sword and why he swung it that way.
Starting from the way Roman Dmitri accepted mana, and even his trivial habits, the accumulated years remained intact in his mind.
The thought bites its tail.
Desperation dug into the truth that had not been seen before.
‘Master’s method does not focus on the explosive power of the aura.
Just by accepting mana as it is and saving its essence, the aura was manifested in a completely different form.
It is a very different way from the way this world teaches.
Someone might call that method heresy, but I knew that the right answer prescribed by the world by my lord’s side could not be affirmed to be the right answer.’
The answer is.
There is only one who stipulates the first correct answer.
He made bowls in the way of the continent, sprouted in the way of Roman Dmitri, and created his own way of mixing the two.
I can’t say that Roman Dmitri’s way is right unconditionally.
Since he had already accepted the way of the continent, he needed a way to fully express his two strengths.
the sun goes down
The sun has risen.
In the endless flow of time, Chris fell into a trance alone.
and at some point.
Hudders.
Patter.
Bone metamorphosis.
The body began to undergo dramatic changes.
* * *
It was early morning.
Pookie and Volcan went out to the gym with dirty faces.
“what brings you here… huh?”
“Hey Chris. Your face seems to glow.”
Both eyes widened.
Called out by Chris, they reacted in bewilderment at their very different appearances from their memories.
The person who was usually called Dmitri’s handsome man was Chris.
However, with white jade-like skin and flowing blonde hair, Chris’ appearance seemed to have been upgraded a few steps.
however.
Chris didn’t listen to compliments on his appearance.
“From now on, I will try to attack you. If you stop the attack, I will give you my year’s salary.”
“Are you serious?”
“I won’t say anything else later.”
eyes have changed
Following Roman Dmitri and receiving considerable rewards, Pookie and Volkan, born as war mercenaries, did not hesitate when money was at stake.
So they followed Roman Dmitry wholeheartedly.
It was because he wasn’t simply forcing loyalty, but he was the kind of person who took care of a certain reward as much as he worked hard.
Chris’ words.
It was a mistake.
I knew that his swordsmanship was lightning fast, but neither of them could be said to be formidable.
both have swords
Chris said in a tense atmosphere.
“Exactly 10 seconds later. I’ll cut Volkan’s top from the front, and then Pookie’s hair.”
“… What are you doing?”
It was an absurd situation.
Blocking the attack was obviously a form of training, but Chris told me how he would attack and when.
I felt ignored.
Even if they fought a hundred times, they wouldn’t have the confidence to beat Chris every hundred times, but blocking a single attack was a completely different matter.
There was no chance of defeat. The slightly flushed face showed the fact that his pride was hurt from the expression on his face.
1 sec.
2 seconds.
I swallowed dry saliva.
Counting time inwardly, when it reached 9 seconds, the two raised their mana.
That moment.
Flash.
pod.
The wind blew.
Before Chris could even recognize how he had moved, pieces of clothing from Volkan’s top and Pookie’s hair flew into the sky.
There was no pain.
In fact, the attack did not contain ‘killing intent’, so the skin was not burned, but the two showed a fascinated expression as they watched the things flying in the air.
It was fast.
Even after being attacked, he could not understand how he had been attacked.
“… How?”
Chris drew his sword.
last few days.
He entered a new territory.
In the agony of his body breaking and his muscles snapping, Chris gained strength he had never met before.
Roman Dmitry’s martial arts.
It wasn’t even Jonathan Knight Commander’s secret prayer.
his own.
Chris entered the ranks of the pioneers.
* * *
It was a calm day.
The Cronus Empire army, which had been spending time with guards erected, was shocked by the report of the skirmishers.
“Right now Roman Dmitri is coming here with his troops!”
enemy advance.
A meeting was called.
To them, the skirmisher’s report was hard to believe.
“It is clear that Roman Dmitry is crazy! An all-out war against 300,000 troops!”
“There is no need to make hasty judgments. Even fighting on the southern front proved that Roman Dmitry had a knack for tactics. Enemy advances are likely for strategic reasons we didn’t anticipate, and we really don’t want all-out war. So you have to keep your current position. You don’t know what will happen if you leave without haste.”
Was it because it was an unusual situation?
Rather, there was a conflict of opinion.
The voices of the leaders were intertwined and confused, and the Duke of Bamford showed an angry expression.
Quaang!
“Everyone lower your voice.”
Anger boiled over.
At the bloody spirit of Duke Bamford, the leaders finally shut up.
“It doesn’t matter what Roman Dmitry’s intentions were. The problem is that they dare to induce an all-out war against the Kronos Empire. Isn’t it really the same thing? To believe that a single kingdom could win an all-out war against the Cronus Empire. From now on, it’s a matter of pride. If we do not break the spirit of Roman Dmitri, who is holding his head high, it is certain that we will be ridiculed by the continent even if we win.”
A cowardly commander who devoted himself to mercury in Goseong even though he had an army of 300,000.
It was an unacceptable situation.
If the enemies had induced his wrath, it could be said to have succeeded admirably.
trap?
I wasn’t worried.
Whatever the enemies have prepared, they will trample it down with overwhelming power.
“Give orders to the soldiers of the Kronos Empire. We will directly punish Roman Dmitri from now on.”
“I take orders.”
The wick caught fire.
now.
Only the power of the spear sword, not complicated strategies, will determine victory or defeat on the battlefield.
* * *
Above the plain.
The troops of both armies rushed in.
The difference was overwhelmingly different from the numbers.
The Kronos Empire was constantly flooding in like a tidal wave, while Roman Dmitri’s army was not long in sight.
Their troops could not be said to be small.
The forces that had withdrawn from the Western Front also joined, but the forces of the Cronus Empire were only so numerous as to overwhelm him.
at regular intervals.
lined up with each other.
At that time, when the tension was high, Roman Dmitri stepped out toward the enemy.
Bubbly.
step by step.
closed the distance
Then he stopped and raised his voice at his enemies.
“I am Roman Dmitri of the Principality of Dmitri. Request a great warrior battle from the Kronos Empire.”
Great Warrior Battle.
People groaned.
I thought that maybe Roman Dmitri would want a great warrior battle, but when the thing I imagined actually happened, various emotions boiled over.
Some were taken aback, some were shocked, some were outraged.
The emotion that occupied the majority of them was anger.
At this place, where Roman Dmitri mentioned the great warrior battle, there was Hannibal, who was not a general swordsman, but the second-ranked Kronos ranking.
that fact.
Roman Dmitry didn’t know either.
However, Hannibal’s expression distorted at the fact that he wanted a great battle.
“I will deal with you and come back.”
“No, it is not allowed.”
It was the Duke of Bamford.
The opponent’s intentions were very clear.
Roman Dmitri’s intention is to bring practical benefits and atmosphere at the same time by handling the powerful sword possessed by the Kronos Empire.
Hannibal’s skills were recognized by the Cronus Empire.
Even Roman Dmitri could not guarantee that he would defeat Hannibal, but it was necessary to prepare for the possibility.
Barbossa and Hannibal.
If the two fight, who will win?
Hannibal would win unconditionally, but it was impossible to defeat him in just seven attacks like Roman Dmitri.
It was a fact acknowledged even by the Cronus Empire.
Roman Dmitri was not a frog born in a well, but a strong man enough to be discussed as the number one on the continent.
then.
There was no reason to accept it.
The power of the Kronos Empire was something to be proved through results, not an occasional battle of great warriors.
‘Roman Dmitry. Do you really want a confrontation with force?’
I still couldn’t believe it.
300,000 troops.
Hannibal and Shefir, etc.
It was absurd to Duke Bamford that the only thing he could propose against the overwhelmingly powerful Cronus Empire was a great battle.
If that’s really all. The variable will not exist.
Because he had thoroughly analyzed the existence of Roman Dmitri, the Duke of Bamford did not allow a confrontation between Roman Dmitri and Hannibal.
It was then.
said Roman Dmitry.
“If you are afraid of fighting me, change your proposal. I will send two warriors to replace me, so how about sending two warriors along with you?
I mean.
It was an obvious provocation that upset the Duke of Bamford.
