Episode 379: Second Continental War (2)
Commander of Valhalla.
Viscount Maron, a veteran of battles, received orders from his superiors.
“Do whatever it takes to slow down Roman Dmitry. It’s okay if you can’t kill him. However, if you can buy more than a month to prevent Roman Dmitry from escaping the territory of Valhalla, the war will end and I will give you wealth and fame. Keep in mind. If Roman Dmitry escapes the borders of Valhalla before then, you will have to pay with your life.”
To him, it was like a thunderbolt.
After receiving the title of Viscount during a major reorganization, he was driven to the battlefield instead of living as a dreamy powerful man.
If the other person were a normal being, I would have been confident.
It has the authority to command hundreds of thousands of troops in the South, and it is not a mission to deal with the opponent, but simply to buy time.
the problem is.
The opponent is Roman Dmitry.
Once he moved his troops to form a siege, he gave orders to his subordinates with a cautious look.
“Keep a certain distance, and don’t rush in any further than that. Just because we are nearby, Roman Dmitry’s movement speed will inevitably slow down. There is only one case where Roman Dmitry is attacked first. When trying to utilize movement devices such as warp gates. At that time, the goal will not be to kill the opponent, but the destruction of the mobile device will be the top priority, even if it means we all die.”
“yes.”
“All right.”
Everyone showed a solemn expression.
Even back then.
They believed that it was a very feasible operation.
By keeping a gentle distance, you can tie Roman Dmitry’s ankles.
however.
The reality was different.
Kwarung.
Crumbling.
“Kaaak!”
“Stop it! “The siege must not be breached!”
There was no conversation.
There was no communication between them from the beginning, and Roman Dmitry suddenly rushed in and slaughtered all the soldiers in the path.
Distance control? It was impossible from the beginning.
It was so fast that it reached right in front of me in an instant, and I saw Roman Dmitry disappearing into the distance while screaming and falling down.
A ghost comes out and a ghost comes out.
I couldn’t follow it with my eyes.
The siege network, which I thought was elaborately constructed, was being torn apart in an instant.
“Holy shit! Retreat! “Other units are forming the second and third blocking lines, so we preserve our forces and join them!”
The strategy changed.
One side of the siege has already collapsed.
Rather than allowing a meaningless sacrifice to catch Roman Dmitry’s tail, I thought it would be more practical to go back and form a siege once again.
Viscount Maron’s troops were not only located here.
If you were the first line of defense, then the second, third, and so on, numerous troops formed a line of defense centered around the southern jungle area, and made it so that you had no choice but to be blocked by them in any direction.
Veteran.
Viscount Marron’s experience was not just words.
Using his past experience, he tenaciously tried to stop Roman Dmitry.
And that’s it.
“You are the commander.”
“?!”
It was the last moment Viscount Marron remembered.
Suddenly.
* * *
Hector Kingdom.
There was an emergency there too.
Edwin Hector summoned the kingdom’s leaders and immediately held a meeting.
Butler said.
“A little while ago, I received a report that the Valhalla Empire’s army had begun to move. It’s just as the prince expected. “The Valhalla Empire clearly intends to isolate Roman Dmitri in the southern jungle and destroy the kingdom union like the Kronos Empire.”
Valhalla’s northern advance.
The reason they chose Hector’s Kingdom as their first target was because it blocked the road to Dmitri.
The power of the Valhalla Empire was greatly weakened due to the recent civil war and battles in the southern jungle, but that did not mean that the Kingdom of Hector alone could stop them.
Hector suffered a crushing defeat in the war against the Kingdom of Cairo, and has only recently recovered by resolving the food problem.
The difference in power from Valhalla was obvious.
The moment they reach the border, they will be immediately swept away, but that doesn’t mean they can simply open the way.
Edwin Hector said.
“The enemies’ intentions are blatant. They probably plan to use Roman Dmitry’s absence to trample on us and attack Dmitry directly. We must somehow stop Valhalla’s advance. “At the risk of the life and death of this country, we must buy enough time for Roman Dmitry to escape the territory of Valhalla.”
Roman Dmitry’s survival.
It wasn’t even suspected.
Although it would take a while to travel due to physical limitations, I believed that Roman Dmitry would cut down all of the Valhalla soldiers blocking the way and escape Valhalla.
The question is whether we can hold out until then.
Most of the Kingdom Alliance had been conducting the war by blindly following Roman Dmitry, but Edwin Hector knew that this moment would come someday.
That’s what war is.
As the responsibilities increase, Roman Dmitry cannot handle all of them alone.
blast furnace.
I had to show results.

Only by proving that the kingdom alliance is formidable can the union of the two empires be defeated.
“Concentrate troops on the southern border. Defeat will soon lead to the fall of Hector and, by extension, the kingdom alliance. The Kronos Empire and the Valhalla Empire joined forces. “If Valhalla is truly Kronos’ dog, as popular rumors say, winning this war will determine the future of the continent.”
“All right.”
I burned my will.
As people left to carry out orders, Edwin Hector also walked off somewhere.
‘The Kingdom of Hector cannot currently receive help from the Kingdom Alliance. The Three Kingdoms of the South, Dmitry and Cairo. They are busy solving the fire that has fallen on their feet right now. Then there is only one force we can trust.’
recent.
Hector brought a great force into the territory.
They are right.
It was a magic tower in the sky, said to be the greatest group of wizards on the continent.
* * *
Kingdom and Magic Tower.
The relationship between the two was unusual.
The kingdom gave up its territory for the Magic Tower, but it did not have absolute authority to give orders to the Magic Tower.
But fortunately.
At Edwin Hector’s request, the magic tower lord of the sky nodded.
“Of course I should help. Emperor Kronos is the main culprit in the wizard’s disappearance. As a result, many wizards suffered, and the Magic Tower in the Sky chose to move to Hector to avoid him. However, if the kingdom union collapses like this, even the Magic Tower in the Sky cannot guarantee its future. “It means that we, Hector, must risk our lives to defeat the Valhalla Empire.”
“thank you.”
“You don’t receive a thank you after you win the war.”
It was a strong support group.
The magic tower lord of the sky.
He was a 7th circle wizard.
Moreover, since there are numerous magicians in the sky, their joining will have an absolute presence in the siege.
With this, a solution was prepared to bridge the power gap with the Valhalla Empire.
If the Magic Tower in the Sky had not existed, Edwin Hector would not have thought of an all-out war with Valhalla.
It was then.
The magic tower lord of the sky said.
“By the way, Edwin.”
“Please speak.”
“Did you practice hard on the ‘thing’ I’ve been teaching you?”
its identity.
It was the secret technique of heaven.
Immediately after Edwin Hector became a priest with the lord of the Celestial Tower, he taught him the secret technique that brought him to the level of the 7th Circle.
From then on, Edwin Hector trained hard.
Because I actually felt like I was making magical progress, I believed I could overcome the barrier of the 6th circle based on this.
The question came a little out of the blue.
However, since it was an area where he could ask questions as a teacher, Edwin Hector nodded.
“Yes, I trained hard. Thanks to this, we achieved certain results.”
“okay?”
It was strange.
The magic tower lord of the sky laughed heartily.
It was a sight never seen before.
His benevolent appearance was everywhere, and his greed was revealed with an expression similar to that of a demon.
“Then it must be ripe enough.”
That moment.
Pot.
Woe!
The dark energy exploded.
Edwin Hector hurriedly unleashed his magic power, but without any time to respond, he was engulfed in the energy of darkness.
* * *
In the dark.
I felt unpleasant.
My body felt like I had fallen into a sticky swamp and I couldn’t free myself, and it was dark everywhere, so I wasn’t sure if my eyesight was intact.
However, my hearing was intact.
The reason I was able to think that way was because now that I was engulfed in darkness, I could hear the voice of the Heavenly Magic Tower Lord clearly.
“It might be questionable to you. What on earth is going on? “What on earth have I done to you, whom you have treated as your teacher?”
I laughed heartily.
Even without seeing the face, the other person’s expression came to mind just by their voice.
“Stupid guy. If I had thought a little more carefully, I could have known the truth about the sky. lets think. There are a series of disappearances of wizards in the Cronos Empire, so why was the Magic Tower in the Sky, the most delicious prey, safe? And the Kronos Empire pretended to try to stop the Celestial Magic Tower from migrating, but in the end, why did they obediently give way?”
I was out of breath.
Edwin Hector wanted to grab his throat, but there was nothing he could see or feel in his hands.
“From the beginning, I was a being who lived for His Majesty, Emperor Kronos. The reason I wanted to accept you as a disciple was to develop your talents and devour them. However, I put it off as I watched you grow into a key figure related to Roman Dmitry. I wanted to chew your heart and absorb the circle’s mana right away, but I had no choice but to resist my desire because the social status of ‘Edwin Hector’ was more useful than your brilliant talent. Do you know how much I wanted to eat you all this time? For your information, there were a few cases of disappearance of wizards that I was involved in. “I was able to reach the level I am today by devouring others.”
It was a shocking truth.
Salamander Continent.
As Alexander was called the first pioneer, his roots spread throughout the continent.
Emperor Kronos too.
Even Emperor Valhalla.
Duke Vieto, and the leader of the Magic Tower in the Sky.
They were all Aleksandr’s loyal dogs.
They were waiting for the ‘time’ when special conditions were met, and quietly hid their presence when a powerful enemy named Roman Dmitry appeared.
Like a crocodile underwater waiting for the right moment to attack.
They had been hiding their existence no matter what kind of trouble Roman Dmitry caused, but with the Valhalla incident as a starting point, they all showed their teeth.
It was simultaneous.
The reason Alexander was confident of victory was not groundless confidence.
He has been preparing for a long time his ambition to conquer the continent so thoroughly that no one can stop him.
“The grand plan has already begun. Hector’s kingdom would collapse without you, so now I will devour you to achieve my purpose.”
Gurgling.
immersed in darkness.
Like falling into the deep sea.
Just like that, Edwin Hector lost his mind.
* * *
Moment.
Edwin Hector was reminded of Roman Dmitry’s words.
“The Kronos Empire uses spirit-type magic. It destroys the human spirit and turns them into puppets that follow any command. We have seen countless things Kronos has done based on black magic. It should not end with a simple incident. “It can happen to us at any time, and we must treat it as an example of how we can respond reliably if it does happen.”
It happened during training.
Roman Dmitry faced the people looking at him and spoke with a firm, unwavering voice.
“I will not spare anyone who has been reduced to a puppet. Even if it’s you or my family. “The beings that are encroached upon by Kronos and endanger Dmitri will be beheaded in front of everyone to set Dmitri’s laws straight.”
Eupcham (泣斬馬謖).
This is not a warning statement.
There was actually a similar example in Roman Dmitry’s past life, and he knew very well that if he broke the law due to his past affection, the entire force would be shaken.
Roman Dmitry had such an experience.
As for the relationships in this life, I can only express that I am truly fortunate.
that day.
“I will teach you how to overcome mind control.”
Roman Dmitry taught everyone the phantom’s defense martial arts, whose spirit cannot be broken by any martial arts in the world.
That moment.
Flash.
Edwin Hector opened his eyes and looked straight into the darkness.
