Episode 355: Chicken game (3)
Valhalla’s method was as standard.
Flares were brought to the fore, and dozens of siege engines spewed fire all at once.
Tung.
Tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tung.
The sky was covered with flames.
As it fell on the castle wall, defensive magic was formed, and Hernad’s soldiers looked up at the sky with nervous faces as the flames scattered around them.
I wasn’t sure how long the defensive magic would last.
What was certain was that the durability of the magic defenses was not infinite, and there was no confidence in stopping the million-strong army visible beyond the castle walls.
First day.
Valhalla focused on reducing durability.
I wasn’t in a hurry.
No matter what trouble Dmitry’s army caused, there was confidence that the emperor’s army would produce results faster.
So, warm it up sufficiently, but be sure. Count Gomes, the commander of Valhalla, looked at Hernad’s walls with a calm face.
Due to the flares burning throughout the day, rebel wizards were seen busy repairing the magic defenses.
two days later.
The fifth day after Dmitry defeated the North.
There has been a change in the Valhalla camp.
“They are wizards!”
“Even the wizards of vagabond are mobilized!”
One of the magic towers of Valhalla.
They were wandering wizards.
They are famous for living freely, moving from battlefield to battlefield, and have been evaluated as having more influence on the battlefield than any other magic tower.
It was one of the special forces mobilized by the Valhalla Emperor.
Without the emperor’s order, Vagabond’s wizards would never have responded to the summons.
“Lightning Rain.”
“Wind Field.”
Flashing.
Crumbling.
The magic was revealed.
The sky turned black with a strong wind, and dozens of bolts of lightning flashed through the dark clouds.
Quang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
It was a huge magic attack.
Vagabond’s wizards continued to use magic, and Flare continued to fire flames, hitting the castle walls violently.
The rebel wizards didn’t just watch.
Some defended with defensive magic, others counterattacked with offensive magic, and tried to use ballistas behind the walls to counterattack, but due to the extreme difference in power, they were unable to completely block Valhalla’s attack.
furthermore.
Hernad’s castle walls had already lost much of their durability.
Once the rebels took over, the emperor’s army attacked further, and no matter how much repairs were made, it could not be shown to be in good health.
The rebel soldiers looked nervous.
If the magic defense of the castle wall was breached in just three days, there was no way to guarantee how long it would last in the close combat that would follow.
at last.
Cooung.
Crumbling.
Part of the castle wall collapsed.
finished.
It was too early, and Count Gomes, who was watching the situation, gave the order without hesitation.
“March the whole army! “Punish all the heinous traitors!”
“March!”
The emperor’s soldiers surged forward.
The sight of a million soldiers marching was truly spectacular, and they crossed their shields to block the sky in preparation for long-distance attacks.
Countless arrows are fired from the castle walls.
Some broke through the shield and attacked the soldiers inside, but they could not stop the Emperor’s soldiers from getting right in front of them.
chuck.
Quick and easy.
A ladder was hung on the castle wall.
Duke Vieto shouted as he saw the enemies coming up one after another.
“Stop it! Stop it by any means necessary! If we fall, the future of Valhalla is over!”
A voice filled with evil.
but.
The situation was not very hopeful.
* * *
The sun went down.
Where the storm of death had passed, rebel soldiers were scattered all over the castle walls in miserable faces.
It’s only one battle.
Since most of the first two days were spent blocking magic attacks, this was the first time they had encountered the Emperor’s forces, and they had already suffered significant damage.
At the sight of the Duke of Vieto soaked in blood.

Sanchez approached and said:
“We need to find out the exact damage, but based on rough confirmation, it is estimated that about 50,000 troops were lost. The emperor’s army suffered more than twice that amount of damage, but even so, 900,000 troops remained. Duke. If things continue like this, it will only be a matter of time before Hernard falls.”
“… … I guess so. From the moment the Valhalla Emperor gathered his troops here in Hernad, there was no chance for us to win.”
It was hopeless.
Duke Vieto looked around with vain eyes.
50,000 soldiers.
Those who raised their voices saying they would follow him were reduced to the status of dead in just one day.
Maybe this is your future.
Even if one were to borrow the power of Roman Dmitry, it would have been reckless to oppose the Emperor of Valhalla, who boasted of omnipotent power.
But even though he knew that, he drew his sword, and the fact that death was just around the corner did not matter to him.
“The good news is that Roman Dmitry has already defeated Ruenos and Portvel.”
It was good news.
but.
No matter how fast they were, it was impossible for them to create a variable within a few days.
It was impossible to guarantee how long Hernad’s rebel army would last, and success could not be guaranteed even if Dmitry’s army had a week to defeat Santino, occupy the warp gate, and threaten the Valhalla imperial family.
blast furnace.
It was the rebels’ responsibility to bear it.
Roman Dmitry was struggling, but there was no time to worry about that right now.
Duke Vieto said:
“Maybe we risked our lives in a nonsensical fight from the beginning. I feel sorry for Roman Dmitry, but I don’t think he can achieve enough to impact Hernad in just a few days. We’ll probably all die. “Just because we spoke out for Valhalla, we will be defined as rebels and our bodies will be trampled and humiliated even in death.”
It was expected.
The hopeless situation forced reality upon him.
“But it doesn’t change that we are right. We will struggle until the end. Even if all the rebels die here in Hernad, we will plant the spark of Valhalla in the hearts of the people of Valhalla. If so, someday. “Someone who inherits the soul of Valhalla will definitely carry on Valhalla’s will.”
I clenched my fists in despair.
He already.
It was accepted that the rebellion had failed.
* * *
Sixth day.
Dmitry’s allied forces arrived at Santino.
They defeated Luenos and Port Bell in just three days, and thanks to marching day and night, they reached Santino in less than a week.
It was quite an achievement.
There was only one day left in the week Roman Dmitry had mentioned, and on the day of arrival, I focused on resting rather than overdoing it.
next day.
The troops were moved.
After confronting the walls at a distance, Roman Dmitry walked slowly towards the walls of Santino.
And then.
Stand tall.
I stopped walking.
From a fairly close distance, I encountered numerous eyes looking at me.
“I am Roman Dmitry of the Dmitry Kingdom. “I request a battle at Daejeon Temple from the lord of Santino.”
Daejeon Temple Battle!
There was a buzz above the castle walls at those words.
It had to be that way.
The battle of Daejeon is a method of seizing momentum through individual force, but there was no way there was someone like that in Santino.
No, Valhalla as a whole did not exist.
Think about it. Ares, who declared that he would follow Roman Dmitri, defeated Alvarez and Cesar one after another, but who on earth can face Roman Dmitri, who is clearly superior to him?
This was clearly a fight that was unfavorable to Valhalla.
On the castle wall.
Count Santino said, showing his face.
“I refuse! “Your dirty intentions are obvious, so why would we accept such an offer!”
It was a firm voice.
Hernad.
The place was on the verge of collapse.
The game would be decided within the next two or three days, and I had no intention of ruining the situation by following Roman Dmitry’s intentions.
In addition, Port Bell’s troops were also present here in Santino.
Thanks to Roman Dmitry’s destruction of Fort Bell to shorten the time, Santino was equipped with more troops.
and.
Information that the opponent was attempting a dispel attack was also known in advance.
Just as they responded to guerrilla attacks with fire magic, they came up with a countermeasure in a short period of time.
Roman Dmitry laughed.
“What a pity. I once heard that Valhalla is a country of warriors who do not avoid confrontation, regardless of whether they win or lose. Nowadays, we have become a country where it is natural to consider practicality. So how about doing it like this? Ten is ten, one hundred is one hundred. I will accept any challenge. If you open the gates and say you will come out and deal with me, I will not resign from this position.”
It was an obvious mockery.
The other person’s reaction?
It was obvious.
No answer in silence.
I shut my mouth.
I knew that if the conversation continued further, Valhalla’s pride would only fall to the ground.
OK.
“Okay, if it comes out that way.”
Okay.
I took something out of my pocket.
And then.
Sigh-
“I will go there.”
* * *
It was a magic scroll.
Mana rose.
Shining brightly, wings spread out behind Roman Dmitry’s back.
Palak.
“Fly.”
Flight magic.
Roman Dmitry rose into the sky.
In response to information that Ares once climbed the castle wall using a dagger, Valhalla placed a magic on the outer wall to make it slippery so that it could not be used as a stepping stone.
Aside from that. In the first place, the walls of Santino were high, so it was impossible to jump up and enter the walls at once.
however.
I didn’t know it would come by flying.
Count Santino, who was looking at Roman Dmitri with a puzzled face, shouted loudly.
“Stop it! Roman Dmitry must not enter the walls!”
Pot.
Push shoo shoo shoo.
Arrows were fired from all directions.
In an instant, arrows poured in around Roman Dmitry, but their intentions had no effect at all.
“Fire shield.”
“Fire shield.”
Hwareuk.
Grumbling.
A fire broke out and protected Roman Dmitry.
The arrows instantly turned into ashes, and Roman Dmitry did not slow down his flight speed at all, as if he had expected that he would be blocked from the beginning.
Then this time, Santino’s wizards came out.
Their magic power exploded, and they showed their will to shoot down Roman Dmitri.
but.
The result was the same.
The wizards of Phoenix and Hector.
They protected Roman Dmitry.
He managed to block the incoming attacks with dispel attacks and defensive magic, and thanks to this, Roman Dmitry quickly reached the castle wall.
It was a truly absurd situation.
People who try to put just one being on the wall, people who struggle as if their feet are on fire to stop that.
It was an unusual development.
Normally, such a method would have no meaning, but if the opponent was Roman Dmitry, it was a completely different story.
‘If you let them inside the castle walls, it’s over.’
Beyond the border.
I heard it through rumors.
The overwhelming force shown by one individual.
When I thought about it, I realized that the Battle of Daejeonsa was a fake in the first place.
Roman Dmitry expected from the beginning that the Battle of Daejeon would be rejected, and deliberately used the Battle of Daejeon as an excuse to get as close to the walls as possible.
If you had accepted the battle at Daejeon Temple. That would have been beneficial.
Even if a being represented Valhalla, there was no way to defeat Roman Dmitri.
“Stop it, stop it!”
I screamed.
A situation I was not prepared for.
The wizards increased their power.
They succeeded in breaking through the magic defense and attacking, but were blocked in vain by the sword created by Roman Dmitri.
Fly is a magic that grants the ability to fly.
Since combat ability is not excluded, there was no way to defeat Roman Dmitri with Santino’s current strength.
If only I had known in advance.
I would have prepared for that.
at last.
widely.
Roman Dmitry landed on the castle walls.
That moment.
Evil voices erupted from all directions.
“Attack!”
“Kill!”
Kwarung.
Crumbling.
They rushed in from all directions.
Santino’s soldiers turned on their eyes and attacked Roman Dmitri in an instant, like a swarm of bees.
It was truly spectacular. The siege method using flies was a classically popular method.
The reason it was quickly shunned by people was because even if it landed on the castle wall, its life was not guaranteed.
blast furnace.
Wow.
“Kaaak!”
Results differed depending on the person.
Soldiers falling down, spraying blood.
Roman Dmitri, who had slaughtered dozens of enemies in an instant, raised his head and saw Count Santino far away.
“Contact the Imperial Court of Valhalla immediately. “Santino is dangerous.”
I laughed.
At that goosebump-inducing sight, Count Santino hurriedly picked up the magic communicator.
