Episode 350: A country that has lost its romance (8)
fluttering.
The flag of Valhalla waved in the wind.
Below them, Marquis Killian, who was in charge of the front lines of the northern front, looked beyond the castle walls with sharp eyes.
“What is the situation of the enemies?”
“It is according to the information obtained in advance. The combined forces of Dmitry and Hector are estimated to number about 100,000, and were commanded by Roman Dmitry. One thing you need to watch out for is Felix of the Phoenix Magic Tower. “He, who made a remarkable contribution in the war against the Kronos Empire, has joined this allied force.”
Felix.
It was a dangerous entity.
The powerful firepower unique to the Phoenix Magic Tower showed a tremendous presence in siege warfare, and it was inevitable that it would be a burden for those defending it.
But Marquis Killian wasn’t too worried.
It was not that they did not recognize Felix, but the Valhalla Empire had already completed preparations for magic defense.
I passed the adjutant and looked at the man wearing a robe.
“Henir. Are there any preparedness measures in place?”
“yes. You don’t have to worry at all. We at Mountain have carefully checked the magic defense of the walls, and even if enemies come with flares and magic attacks, they are sufficient to stop it.”
Mountain is one of the magic towers of Valhalla.
It is especially specialized for Mercury.
They mainly use earth magic, and were sent to the northern front here by order of the Valhalla imperial family.
It was a source of faith.
As many as 100 wizards, including Henir, the mountain’s magic tower owner, took up positions at the front line defense positions, and thanks to this, Marquis Killian was able to let go of his worries about magic defense.
The period that Marquis Belfir spoke of was about ten days.
He said he would completely eliminate Hernad’s rebels within a week and send additional reinforcements within 10 days.
Ten days.
It was a short time for the commanders guarding the border.
If he couldn’t withstand that, Marquis Killian wouldn’t have been selected as the commander of the northern border of Valhalla.
Marquis Killian said.
“Roman Dmitry is a person who defies common sense. He may have simply crossed the border as a threat, but he must be prepared for a fight to break out at any time. The time we need is ten days. But think about at least a month. Variables always arise on the battlefield, and even though it may take a long time for the imperial army to occupy Hernad, we must remain strong.”
“All right.”
Everyone showed a solemn look.
The world has changed.
The Valhalla Empire, which would have laughed at the power of the Dmitri-Hector alliance just a few years ago, could not help but be nervous as it looked at Roman Dmitry’s army.
It was a difference in status.
Roman Dmitry’s actions and the footprints he left in Valhalla did not allow for any feeling of letting down one’s guard.
It was then.
Allied troops stopped at a distance.
Between them, an object of a familiar shape appeared in front of them.
Squeak.
“It’s a flare.”
“There are also wizards.”
It was as expected.
Roman Dmitry’s choice was flare and magic attack.
It seemed like the intention was to first hit the castle wall with a sufficient long-distance attack and then push the troops in to engage in close combat.
Marquis Killian gave a glance.
Henir ordered the wizards to stay in their positions, and 100 wizards stood tall on the castle wall, preparing for enemy attacks.
yet.
Tung.
Tu-tu-tu-tu-tung.
Grumble, rumble.
The flare spewed fire.
A typical siege weapon.
As the burning flames flew, the mountain wizards unleashed their magic.
“Stone shield.”
“Stone Shield.”
It’s a disaster.
In the air.
A huge rock blocked the front like a shield.
The intention was to first block the flare’s attack and then eliminate the shock with the magic defense of the castle wall itself.
It was a standard response.
however.
Suddenly a strange phenomenon occurred.
The stone shield distorted strangely and then completely disappeared.
Hernad’s expression distorted and he looked beyond the castle wall.
“Dispel?”
It was certain.
And that’s it.
It was a clear provocation.
* * *
Dispel.
It is a simple yet difficult spell.

Dispel has the effect of dispelling the opponent’s magic, and its difficulty is determined by the gap between you and the opponent.
If the opponent’s skill is poor, the magic can be dispelled with a simple calculation, but if the opponent’s skill is superior, dispel becomes more difficult than any other magic from then on.
Dmitry’s response.
There was nothing special.
The question was what dispel meant in siege warfare.
“How dare you try to gain the upper hand against Mountain by using Dispel.”
On the castle wall.
There were mountain wizards.
In a situation where they were barely holding on, the intention to dispel the defensive magic with Dispel was to compete with magical capabilities.
That stimulated Henir’s pride.
In the first place, I thought the level of magic itself was superior to Mountain, but I couldn’t help but be angry at his behavior that seemed to ignore that fact.
furthermore.
There were many mountains, the capital of wizards.
Phoenix’s wizards numbered around fifty, but Mountain mobilized as many as 100 wizards to Mercury.
Quang!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The flames of the flare exploded.
The effect of the dispel was only to cancel the magicians’ defensive magic, but the defensive magic of the castle wall itself was unharmed.
The blue shield blocked the flames of the flare.
Since Valhalla put a lot of effort into installing it, the magic defense will not be broken even if there are attacks for a day or two.
but.
My pride didn’t allow it.
Henir raised his voice.
“Prepare for dispel! When the enemy uses Dispel, show the Mountain’s majesty by destroying it!”
It was a head-on contest.
When dispelling each other.
It was plus or minus zero.
It would be a meaningless attack and defense that could not inflict any magical damage, but if you win the dispel match, you can gain the upper hand in the magical battle.
In fact, it is normal to compete with each other using stronger attack and defense magic, but since they started an argument with Dispel, Henir did not back down.
Tung.
Tu-tu-tu-tu-tung.
Flare fired again.
The mountain wizards unleashed defensive magic.
At the same time, they generated magic power in case the opponent interfered with Dispel.
“Stone Shield.”
“Stone Shield.”
It’s a disaster.
A defensive spell was formed.
As expected, the energy of Dispel penetrated immediately.
The mountain wizards calmly responded to Dispel’s energy.
When it tried to destroy the stone shield by eroding the magic system, it went in reverse and attacked Dispel.
No, I believed I could do that.
They clearly thought they were superior in terms of numbers and quality, but the aspect of the dispel match was different from what they expected.
“You’re too fast.”
“You can’t stop your opponent’s dispel.”
Pasasasak-
The stone shield disappeared.
It was an embarrassing situation.
The dispel battle is decided by the difference in each other’s calculation ability and magical level, and the opponent’s dispel processing ability was overwhelmingly fast.
In fact, if they had not faced the dispel battle from the front, they would have been able to gain a numerical advantage.
But when they collided head-on, something unbelievable happened to them.
It was fast.
Even though two people were fighting against one Dispel, they were only similar and could not completely prevent the disintegration of the Dispel.
in between.
Quang!
Crumbling.
Flares exploded continuously due to the defensive magic of the castle wall.
Marquis Killian, who was watching the situation, screamed.
“Henir! “What on earth are you doing!”
“S-sorry.”
I gritted my teeth.
How on earth?
I couldn’t understand how a mere 50 people could overwhelm 100 wizards.
For no reason, I responded to the dispel battle head-on, but the situation in Valhalla was not good.
The problem didn’t end there.
As Dmitri gained the upper hand in the dispel battle, this time he even weakened the magic defense of the castle wall with dispel.
And then.
“Flame Cannon.”
Quang!
Hwareuk, hwarrrrrrrrrrrr!
Felix’s magic exploded.
The magic defense disappeared, and the wizards on the castle wall screamed.
A series of situations.
A figure appeared in Henir’s field of vision.
Right next to Felix.
There was Edwin Hector, with flowing red hair.
* * *
last few months.
Edwin Hector lived completely immersed in top-tier warfare.
We actively interacted with the Phoenix Mage Tower, exploring and training in many areas that could be achieved through the development of upper level warfare.
It was fun.
I stayed up every night, living the life of a wizard.
Then one day.
Felix said.
“Prince Edwin Hector. In my opinion, as a wizard, there is only one thing the prince lacks. It’s time. “The prince is showing such accomplishments because he is still young, but I am confident that in just 10 or even 5 years, he will grow into a great wizard who will astonish the Salamander Continent.”
It was a judgment based on experience.
Spending time with Edwin Hector, Felix witnessed what overwhelming talent can be like.
and.
I thought at the same time.
Meeting Roman Dmitry made me realize about the top battle, that it was an opportunity to solve even my only shortcoming.
Hwaak-
“Dispel.”
Above the battlefield.
Edwin Hector created magic.
He had been undergoing joint training with Dmitri, and was given the role of a wizard rather than a commander in the allied forces.
If Felix leads the attack with powerful firepower.
Edwin Hector actively used Dispel to prevent the wizards of Valhalla from using magic.
My head opened.
The expanded mental power instantly eroded the magic of Valhalla.
“The enemy is responding directly to Dispel. Now is your chance. Calmly destroy the opponent’s magic and focus on the wizards’ inability to actively manifest their magic.”
“Dispel!”
“Dispel!”
By order of Edwin Hector.
The wizards of Phoenix followed.
The reason why Roman Dmitry has invested heavily in magical development is because their power is absolutely necessary in the future war.
The war so far has mainly been hand-to-hand combat or guerrilla combat on the plains.
As Dmitry’s status increases, powerful countries like Valhalla will also appear on the defensive, and reliable weapons are needed to take them down.
That’s it.
It was magic.
After endless research and discussion, Dmitry created a weapon to destroy the castle walls.
The development of Sangdanjeon.
The capabilities of wizards have increased dramatically.
The upper division fully accepted the mana exploding from the circle, and its extremely developed brain quickly solved the problems in front of it.
As a result, the Mountain wizards had no choice but to struggle even with twice as many people.
Dan Sang-jeon’s ability to overcome human limitations made a difference that Henir could not have imagined.
And among them.
Edwin Hector’s presence was overwhelming.
My head was spinning.
The defense magic collapsed in an instant, and three or four mountain wizards had to stick together to block one Edwin Hector.
Nevertheless, he managed to break through the opponent’s magic defense.
Hector is not a suitable country to learn magic.
Even in such an environment, Edwin Hector’s talent as a wizard blossomed, and even the magic tower lord in the sky coveted his talent. The talent of Edwin Hector was truly amazing.
If he dispels it.
“Flame Cannon.”
“Fire cannon.”
“Fire cannon.”
Hwareuk.
Grumble, rumble.
Quang!
Without fail, the magic of Felix and other wizards exploded.
Edwin Hector dispels.
Felix uses attack magic.
Roles were divided.
The mountain wizards’ faces turned pale due to the onslaught of attacks, and at some point, acrid smoke began to rise from the magic defenses of the castle wall.
“this! Repair the magic defenses immediately! hurry!”
Henir shouted.
A fire went down in my feet.
He boasted that he could stop it at all costs, but less than an hour later, an unexpected situation unfolded before his eyes.
Mountain wizards gathered in large numbers.
They repaired the magic defenses of the castle walls and used their own defensive magic, but, starting with Edwin Hector, they were gradually eaten away.
at last.
Quang!
Crumbling.
Like Felix said.
In just one hour, the walls of Valhalla collapsed.
and.
“All troops. March!”
“March!”
An army rushing forward furiously.
Now it was Roman Dmitry’s turn to step forward.
* * *
That time.
Count Gomes took a step forward.
When I heard the report that the northern front had been attacked, I became impatient.
‘Roman Dmitry is moving more boldly than expected. He deployed 100,000 troops and even Mountain wizards, so he should be able to hold out for more than 15 days at best. The important issue is the confrontation between Ares and Cesar. If Ares wins, then things are bound to get really complicated.’
The work in the North was postponed.
I believed it.
Marquis Killian and the wizards of the Mountain.
I didn’t think Valhalla would fall so easily.
Stand tall.
I stopped walking.
Valhalla Temple.
Ares was there.
After challenging Cesar, he waited for Cesar to arrive, receiving attention from everyone.
Murmur.
“Who will win?”
“Definitely Cesar.”
“If it’s Ares, you never know. “You also defeated Alvarez overwhelmingly.”
There were more people than before.
At first, most of the people were incited by Hao Wen, but as rumors spread while waiting for Cesar, many people began to flock.
It was truly a sea of people.
In a situation where people were crowded with no space to move, Count Gomes squeezed through the crowd of people and sat down in the seat reserved for him.
‘This match. ‘We must win.’
Cesar was defeated.
The Valhalla Imperial Family is not defeated.
but.
There was a problem.
Ares was unable to surpass Alvarez during his time in Valhalla, but what would happen if he moved to Dmitri and became number one in Valhalla in less than a year?
All the glory of victory will go to Roman Dmitry.
It is not a matter of simply saying that Ares won because he was strong, but it will be said that Roman Dmitry brought Ares to a higher level.
Actually, that was the truth.
Roman Dmitry, who led the swordsmanship revolution, showed steps beyond Aleksandr, the founder of Aura.
Finally.
“It’s Cesar!”
“Open the road!”
“at las!”
People split on both sides.
In between.
A man walked.
Valhalla ranking #1.
The greatest sword of Valhalla appeared before the people to meet Ares’ challenge.
