Chapter 96 Ghost (6)
Edwin Hector said.
[I will not deny what you said. As known to the world, the Kingdom of Hector is struggling with a severe famine, and borrowing money from outside has reached its limits. So he attacked the kingdom of Cairo. We had no choice but to make a decision in order to get out of the bondage of debt that bites our tail.]
“Are you asking for understanding?”
[no. What I am saying is to illustrate how desperate we are. In this war, the fate of Hector Kingdom was at stake. We don’t have enough troops. As you said, after about three months, you will have no choice but to suffer from the food that reveals the floor. Even so, we cannot back down. Even if it means eating the body of a colleague who died while digging up herbs in the mountains. I have no intention of resigning until I get what I want.]
It was a chilling remark.
Edwin Hector’s attitude was resolute enough to speak of the realm of cannibalism, which should not be experienced as a human being.
someday.
Edwin Hector once went to the temple.
The state of Hector’s kingdom was truly miserable.
The land, once stained with gold, was cracked open by a severe drought, and children with bare ribs sat on the ground and stared blankly at the ground.
When they found Edwin Hector, they held out their bony palms and begged for food.
How did it happen? As a person of royal
lineage, Edwin Hector, who was troubled every day, began to think of a plan to attack the Cairo kingdom from then on.
It was as Roman expected.
His remarks drove the kingdom of Hector to the brink.
But in the first place, the kingdom of Hector was destined to fall down a cliff at any time, even if it wasn’t for this war.
[You know my plan, so you know how we feel. Tell the Cairo royal family. If you don’t accept our offer, we will fight until we get what we want. Do not think that time is on your side. If we can’t get anything through this land, we’ll sprinkle the poison we got from the necromancer everywhere and turn this place into a land of death.] The situation was reversed
.
A statement that drives you into a corner.
He countered with the number of Dong Gui Jin (同歸於盡).
Edwin Hector had no intention of returning empty-handed from the beginning.
[My name is Edwin Hector. As the prince of Hector’s kingdom, I am ready to do anything to save my people. Roman Dmitry. What choice will you make? Will you fall down the cliff like the kingdom of Hector driven to the edge of the cliff, or will you seek a later date with an appropriate compromise?]
Cairo.
To them, he is a heinous villain.
But it didn’t matter.
Doing anything for the kingdom.
[The choice is up to Cairo.]
It was the role of the royal family in Edwin Hector’s mind.
* * *
Opponent revealed his name.
Edwin Hector.
A man called Hector’s Star.
It was a name he had heard while researching Hector’s kingdom.
‘A person who has grown into the backbone of Hector Kingdom with outstanding abilities unlike his incompetent father. Ever since he was young, he was involved in the big and small affairs of the country and solved numerous problems, and people who admired his ability called Edwin Hector the star of Hector. He is a talent recognized both inside and outside the country to the extent that various countries, such as the Cronus Empire, want an arranged marriage with Edwin Hector, even in the midst of difficulties due to the great famine. And that kind of being took over the baton of this war.’
It was as expected.
this war.
I didn’t think that an ordinary person would lead.
Systematic and bold judgments forced even Roman to acknowledge the opponent’s ability.
role of the royal family.
The cause was firm.
I knew they would never back down, but even a man named Roman Dmitry was far from mediocre.
hooked!
“Quaaaaagh!”
[What are you doing!]
Roman thrust his sword into Thompson’s thigh.
Thanks to the sound blocking, the soldiers couldn’t hear the screams.
Roman strongly suppressed Thompson’s body, which struggled in pain, and slowly twisted his sword as if to squeeze out a scream.
“What am I doing? As you heard the scream, I stabbed this guy in the thigh with my sword.”
[You’d better kill me! No matter how many enemies they are, why do they even torture them!]
“Why do you even torture them? You are making a very emotional statement. I have no interest in the circumstances of Hector’s kingdom. For whatever reason, you crossed the border and slaughtered innocent Cairo soldiers. But to cry like a coward just because you stabbed your thigh a little. You are not mistaken. Just as you care for the soldiers of Hector’s kingdom, my people are also important to me. But why should I show mercy to my enemies? The war has already begun. And those of you who crossed the line first cannot expect me to act as a human being.”
Edwin Hector.
He made a big mistake.
Roman Dmitry was not a man of common sense.
I did what I believed was right regardless of the choice the other person gave me.
Kwadeuk.
“Cheaaaaaaaagh!”
Thompson was furious.
In pain of cutting his bones, he sent a pitiful hand as if asking to be killed immediately.
Roman doesn’t know who Thompson is.
They had no ill intentions against him, but they did not hesitate to torture him just because he was standing on the other side of the battlefield.
The world of weak meat.
It was normal there.
No matter what values each other has, no matter what justice they pursue.
From the moment they recognize each other as enemies and show hostility, they can do anything to defeat the opponent.
That was it.
Roman did not complicate things.
He had no intention of backing down despite Edwin Hector’s threats, so instead he tortured Thompson as if he were to listen.
Blood spattered.
His face was drenched in blood.
Roman revealed a bloody look and squeezed Thompson’s leash.
“As you do your duty, I will do what I believe is right. So never get caught by me. I will kill in pain all the guys I face. I will not spare even one of them, and even if you choose to run away with a white flag, I will follow you to the end and stab you in the back. My name is Roman Dmitry. I will definitely get the price, not for a grandiose cause like you, but for the single reason that you touched my people.”
He vomited hostility.
Hector Kingdom would not have known.
From the moment you cross the border.
The fact that I provoked an enemy that shouldn’t be touched.
Hector’s kingdom has already set up multiple camps.
If they choose not to surrender, Roman also conversely infects the opponent with fear through the communicator.
hooked
“Krurrukruk.”
He thrust a knife into Thompson’s throat.
The sound of a life dying passed over the communicator, and Edwin Hector was speechless.
Thompson lowers his head.
Roman put the communicator back into his mouth.
“If you choose to fight to the death. We will meet soon.”
end with that.
Took.
communication was cut off.
* * *
Communication ended.
Unlike the anger that seems to explode inside.
Edwin Hector’s expression gave off a chill.
‘Roman Dmitry. He is more dangerous than I thought.’
The number of companions.
Ordinary people have no choice but to shrink.
Even if we die, the remark that we die together is something that can not be handled with a tolerable heart, but the reaction of the other party was more intense.
killed Thompson.
As if to listen openly.
Even though he knew the circumstances and attitude of Edwin Hector, he sent a warning to Thompson while hacking into Thompson’s body.
He was a very dangerous human being.
Roman Dmitri did not allow a gap for a moment, knowing that the moment he took even one step back, he would lose his momentum.
The type of person you would never want to meet as an enemy.
A single variable that occurred in the perfect plan took Edwin Hector’s body in a direction he did not want to imagine.
“… What are you going to do?”
It was Jackson.
from start to finish.
Jackson overheard the conversation.
Especially in the situation where Thompson was being tortured, he couldn’t control his emotions and his face looked like he was about to explode.
Edwin Hector said.
“If we hadn’t made a decision and had spent the same amount of time as before, we would have slowly dried up and eventually lost the meaning of the nation. So I made a decision. They mobilized all possible funds and mobilized warriors willing to give their lives for the country. Jackson. We have no way back. For those who remain on Hector now, the rewards we bring will be more important than our survival.”
harsh reality.
however.
That is the burden that Edwin Hector carried.
Even if many people die, people have no choice but to think that they have lived more than a grateful heart.
that’s what humans are
even knowing that
Edwin Hector shouldered the burden.
Taking on all responsibility for the war, I left for the battlefield on behalf of the king of a country.
blast furnace.
“We can’t go back without getting anything. Mobilize your troops right now and form a siege starting from the location where Roman Dmitri appeared. And if you capture him alive. To avenge Thompson, who died in pain, I will personally cut out Roman Dmitri’s flesh one by one.”
Said with evil.
Jackson nodded at Edwin Hector’s sincerity.
“I will follow your orders.”
this war.
Even if the end is death.
Jackson will not regret the fact that he belonged to Edwin Hector.

Changed strategy.
Hector’s aura swordsmen.
they took the lead
“Follow me.”
10 minutes ago.
An order came from Edwin Hector.
“I can no longer be swayed by the remnants of Cairo. From now on, we will punish the beings in the darkness even at the cost of sacrifice. As soon as the Aura swordsmen lead the way and are under attack, the soldiers from other districts climb the mountain all at once. It is a fight that overwhelms by numbers. I will yield my flesh and take the bones of my enemies.”

Heavenly Earth Network.
The moment Roman Dmitri appears with a single attack, the boldly attacking troops will block all retreats that Roman can escape.
It is a strategy that requires sacrifice.
As Edwin Hector, he hoped to produce the maximum result with the minimum damage, but he changed his mind when he faced Roman’s hostility heard through the communicator.

In order to catch the monster, it was judged that determination was needed to drive the soldiers to death.

Leading aura swordsmen.
A bright halo of light rose from them.
It was a magic artifact.
It caused light in response to mana, and enemies that touched this light were temporarily exposed to shimmering fragments of light.
It was a trap to maximize the effect of Cheonrajimang.
During the manifestation of magic artifacts, it was difficult for the aura swordsman to exert his power, but someone had to risk his life to hang a bell around Roman’s neck.
so that.
Hector’s swordsmen risked their lives.
Their eyes showed a strong desire to lead this battle to victory, even if it meant dying as bait.
“There is no one ahead! Follow me slowly!”
Swordsman Aura revealed the way.

Hector’s troops rumbled.
Everyone had a confident look on their faces.
Once he was convinced that he had solved the fear of the unknown, the slow search resumed momentum.
however.
That was an early conviction.
The moment I set foot in a space that I thought was clear, the space was distorted and something reflected in the light flashed.
Awesome!
Blood spattered.
Swordsman Aura widened his eyes and collapsed as it was, biting into bubbles of blood.
Beyond.
Obviously, Cairo’s soldiers, who had not seen a single hair until now, appeared like a mirage and rushed at them all at once.
“Attack!”
“Attack the enemies!”

Chris shouted, a blood clot in his throat.
When I first entered the mountain.
Roman Dmitry predicted that things would turn out this way.
