Episode 378: Second Continental War (1)
Umberto border.
Umberto’s soldiers guarding the front-line defense positions looked across the border with frightened expressions.
fluttering.
The flag was waving in the wind.
The sight of the enemies advancing, displaying the symbol of the Kronos Empire, was like endless waves that could not be captured by human vision.
How many troops were mobilized?
Knowing that I would soon have to fight them for my life, cold sweat kept pouring down my forehead and my legs were shaking.
Calderon Drake.
Umberto’s successor and commander of the front line defense position spoke to his adjutant with a calm expression.
“What are Kronos’ troops?”
“… … As a result of reconnaissance using Familiar magic, it is estimated that more than 500,000 troops were mobilized. The problem is that the Kronos Empire mobilized the Magic Tower. Although we are fully prepared for their attack, Umberto cannot hold out for a long time with his own strength.”
“With this, the collusion between Valhalla and Kronos has been proven to be true.”
Death of Emperor Valhalla.
The questions that arose as a result were resolved with the attack of the Kronos Empire.
The reason why Roman Dmitry killed the Emperor of Valhalla was because of his collusion with Kronos.
Valhalla put forward Roman Dmitry’s evil deeds on a large scale, but the debate was meaningless from the moment Kronos crossed the border in line with the actions of the Valhalla Empire.
The mutual benefits were clear.
The way Valhalla and Kronos helped each other gave Dmitri enough justification to fight tenaciously.
Calderon Drake said.
“This war is a national crisis. Roman Dmitry and his troops are still stranded in Valhalla, and at the same time, they cannot hope for help from Cairo and Dmitry due to the Kronos Empire beyond Cairo’s borders. The same goes for Hector’s kingdom. “Now that the Valhalla Empire is gathering troops to advance north, even Hector will not be able to move hastily.”
That means.
“This means that the large army of Kronos that is visible now must be blocked with the power of the three southern kingdoms.”
“… … Huh.”
“under.”
Sighs were heard from all directions.
Although they were people who followed Calderon Drake to numerous battlefields, the situation they faced against the Kronos Empire was bound to be daunting.
Many people will probably die.
However, from the moment I joined the new kingdom alliance and from the moment I tasted what freedom was like, there was no option to meekly bow to them.
will fight
Just looking at the end of Odelia, who followed Kronos, we can see that helpless surrender only leads directly to Umberto’s downfall.
“Return contact to the Southern Three Kingdoms right now. It is an all-out war. All troops must be concentrated here, leaving only the minimum number of troops to defend each border. If we stop the attack of the Kronos Empire. “It can create a twist in a situation where you are dealing with two monsters called Kronos and Valhalla.”
“All right.”
It was moving busily.
I knew this situation would come someday.
Umberto was a country with a strong will that refused to the end the hand extended by Kronos, and Calderon Drake was ready to sacrifice his life for the country.
A person who was once classified by Kronos as a Class A warning subject.
He inherited Drake’s blood and will not take a single step back, even if it means dying here.
however.
In a situation where even the slightest variable was not allowed, Calderon Drake’s plan was disrupted from the start.
“Commander! “We have received messages from various countries, but there is a problem with the dispatch of troops due to riots in the lawless area!”
Riots in a lawless area.
It was a completely unexpected type of variable.
* * *
Troops of the Three Kingdoms Coalition.
Many of them had been deployed to the lawless southern region once called the Kingdom of Odelia.
The commander was the Marquis of Berber.
As a Frankish nobleman, he was tasked with dealing with rioters in lawless areas on behalf of the Alliance of Three Kingdoms.
“The rioters in the lawless area are nothing more than a ragtag bunch. “Wipe it away once and for all.”
Things went smoothly.
With the country in ruin, the rioters holding spears and knives did not pose any threat, and the perfectly armed soldiers of the three kingdoms pushed forward and quickly resolved the situation.
As short as a month, as long as two or three months. There was a confidence that it would be sorted out.
however.
One hour before receiving Umberto’s request for assistance.
A problem arose in a lawless area.
Deep.
“Kaaak!”
“Stop it!”
A riot broke out.
The hiding mob attempted a surprise attack, which was completely different from previous battles.
The average mob was powerless against an organized military force.
That’s why I didn’t worry too much about clearing the lawless area, but now the appearance of the rioters was unusual.
As if dipped into madness. As they rushed forward even when their limbs were cut off, deaths continued to appear from all directions.
Quack!
A mob bit the back of the neck of a Three Kingdoms soldier.
Despite being stabbed in the abdomen and having violent hands pushing his face, he managed to completely rip off the soldier’s neck.
Wow.
Blood splattered.

After confirming that the opponent’s breathing had stopped, the mob looked around for the next opponent, even as blood was pouring from the abdomen.
And rushed in.
As if killing an opponent was more important than death, the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms Alliance fell one by one due to the rushing mob.
behind them.
There was a leader of the mob.
The man who described himself as the new king was a man named Karman.
“Hear my people! The southern kingdoms dared to reveal their dirty intentions to take over my territory and your home. This land is ours. It was once called Odelia, but by me, Karman, this place will be reborn as the Karman Kingdom!”
“For Karman!”
“For Karman!”
Everyone was dipped into madness.
I was out of my mind.
Even Karman’s eyes flashed red, and he followed the rushing mob, killing the fallen soldiers.
Deep.
“die.”
My body trembled.
death of life.
It provided extreme pleasure.
Meanwhile, a knight who had fallen on the ground looked up at him with a pale face.
“What on earth are you planning? This is no ordinary power. You obviously… … “Oops.”
Crack.
I stabbed him in the back with a sword.
As the knight screamed and struggled, he grabbed his hair and threw it back.
Karman looked into the other person’s eyes.
With his eyes filled with fear and a grin on his face, Karman took out a small dagger and caressed his face.
“This is why I don’t like quick-witted guys. Since he’s going to die anyway, I’ll tell you something special. I am a being who lives for the Kronos Empire. Odelani, the Kingdom of Carman. “Such words are nothing but empty justifications.”
Hold.
I gave strength to my hands.
Blood flowed from the knight’s face as the dagger penetrated his skin.
“So go to hell and watch. “How the bastards who fight against the empire are destroyed.”
With that said, finally.
“Kaaak!”
Karman cut off the knight’s face.
* * *
That time.
Roman Dmitry received three different communications through a magic communicator.
The first was Chris.
[We completely escaped Valhalla’s pursuit. In order to arrive at the warp point and move to the nearest Frankish border, it would take at least 3 days even if you travel with all your might. As soon as we arrive in the Frankish Kingdom, we will return to Dmitri and gather our troops to ensure Dmitri’s safety as our top priority and fight the Empire’s attacks.]
The second was Haomun, Valhalla Branch.
[The movements of the Valhalla Empire are unusual. As we gather our troops and prepare to advance north, we are closing the southern warp gates one by one. And seeing as they are sending troops to the southern jungle area, it seems that the intention is to isolate the main army there.]
last.
Dmitry Jonathan was the commander of the Knights.
[A little while ago, the Kronos Empire crossed the border of Cairo. The number of troops is estimated to be at least 500,000, and some troops have been dispatched to help the Kingdom of Cairo. And as you previously ordered, we have left behind core forces to protect Dmitri. The situation is serious. The Kingdom of Cairo and the Kingdom of Umberto are under attack, Hector prepares for battle with Valhalla, and even riots break out in the lawless area. If things continue like this, the kingdom union is truly in danger.]
Problems occurred simultaneously.
A series of situations.
Roman Dmitry understood Valhalla’s intentions.
‘Is this your intention to tidy up the surroundings while tying my feet and buying time?’
Alexander.
He clearly needed time.
However, the reason for declaring war so suddenly was because it was the last opportunity to utilize Valhalla.
As time passes, public opinion will turn towards Roman Dmitry again.
Because the Emperor of Valhalla was dead, he would not be able to exert as much influence as before, and if public opinion was formed to release the tomb data, there was a chance for a turnaround.
Of course, there would be a lot of opposition to proceed in that way, but Alexander decided that now, with Valhalla’s anger at its peak, was the perfect opportunity.
just as expected.
Sasasak.
Sasasak.
To the surroundings stained with darkness.
I could feel numerous people coming through the bushes.
* * *
It was a familiar situation.
Past life.
The same thing happened back then.
After experiencing the overwhelming power of Baek Jung-hyuk, the Heavenly Demon, the martial arts faction knew that they had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.
So the battlefield was widened.
I thought that if I won every battlefield except Baek Jung-hyuk, I would eventually have a numerical advantage.
With that confidence, they simultaneously attacked those around them, excluding Baek Jung-hyuk.
really.
It was an unusual operation.
Since you don’t have the confidence to defeat yourself, you choose to buy time and waste your power.
at that time.
What choice did Baek Jung-hyuk make?
Roman Dmitry held up the magic communicator with a calm face as numerous people flocked around him.
[chris. Please convey to everyone the orders I am giving you now.]
Baek Jung-hyuk in his previous life.
It was an absolute being.
There were no opponents on the battlefield, and no matter how many enemies came at him, he slaughtered them all with a single sword.
The force of an individual was more than enough to overwhelm everything.
However, what he wanted was conquest in the true sense of the word, and it was impossible to rule the martial arts world just by being superior alone.
at last.
I needed someone.
Trust me and leave it to me.
And in a battlefield where you are not confident, there are those who will trample and subdue the opponent on your behalf.
So I accepted people.
The reason he accepted Hans, then Kevin, Chris, Henderson, etc., was because he wanted the fence he would form in the future to be strong against any threats.
It was the same in my previous life.
Just as countless political faction members died to deal with one Gwangma, the fence of the Cheonma Baek Jung-hyuk will not collapse helplessly against the enemy’s attacks.
It was the same this time too.
Dmitry.
Cairo.
Hector.
and the Southern Three Kingdoms.
In the process of building a huge fence, Roman Dmitry did not intend to solve all the problems himself.
They also had to deal with practical problems.
Therefore, in order to prove that they are a person worthy of their enclosure.
It was necessary to actively use the teachings I had received and somehow prove my worth.
Many people will die.
but.
When the war ends, Dmitry will form an impregnable fortress that no one can break down.
[It will take at least 15 days until I get there. In the meantime, do whatever it takes to hold on with your own strength. Prove your worth to your enemies that the kingdom union without me is not easy. If you hold on and hold on like that… … .]
Flash.
A red light appeared around me.
They didn’t rush in.
They only delayed their progress, but their goal was not to deal with Roman Dmitry.
[I will definitely come to you.]
Tuk.
The magic communication was cut off.
And then.
“You bastards.”
I walked toward the enemies, toward a space sparkling with numerous lights.
