Episode 384: Second Continental War (7)
A day ago.
At a time when the Salamander Continent was engulfed in chaos, Valhalla leaders received disconcerting news.
[Viscount Marron is dead! First, they formed a siege to block Roman Dmitry, but thousands of soldiers have already died. At this rate, it is only a matter of time before the siege of the southern jungle area is breached. No matter how many people we mobilize, there is no way to solve the absence of an expert to deal with Roman Dmitri.]
It was absurd.
Just a few hours ago, he entrusted full authority to Viscount Maron and ordered him to stop Roman Dmitry by any means necessary.
Count Snowdin, the new powerful figure in Valhalla, did not completely trust Viscount Maron.
It would be impossible to stop Roman Dmitry with just that many people, but since it was an operation that mobilized hundreds of thousands of people, I thought it would be enough to last a few days.
however.
In reality, it took less than a few hours.
Count Snowdin reacted nervously to the news of Viscount Maron’s death and the words of his adjutant who spewed out the despairing reality.
“You useless guys! Our goal is not to deal with Roman Dmitry. So, do whatever you can to stop it, even if it means replacing all the soldiers. The more time passes, the longer we hold him in Valhalla. Roman Dmitry’s limbs will be cut off, and not even he will be able to go against the trend.”
[…] … All right.]
There was no other way.
In a situation where even the strongest swordsman in Valhalla had bowed to Ares, it was a bad decision to go out of his way to defeat Roman Dmitri.
For now, a war of attrition was the best.
I thought that if Roman Dmitry’s physical strength was eaten away, Dmitry’s monster would eventually show its limits.
Judgment within common sense.
No, even this was beyond common sense.
In the first place, it was ridiculous to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of troops just to hold on to one person.
But as time goes by.
News arriving one after another caused fear.
[The secondary cordon has been breached!]
[Roman Dmitry cannot be stopped! They are moving so fast that it is difficult to even keep up with them, and even if they form a formation, they slaughter them all at once and run away. Roman Dmitry moves faster than we can form a siege.]
[Crack!]
Beyond the communicator.
A scream was heard.
The blood-stained voice proved that even the third line of defense had been breached.
‘What a monster.’
Roman Dmitry.
He was alone.
Dmitry’s private soldiers deliberately opened the way, and he was crossing the vast territory of Valhalla alone.
However, the movement speed was abnormally fast.
It was a speed that could be said to be fast even without any obstacles, but in reality, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were struggling, risking their lives to slow him down.
I felt dizzy.
A day has passed.
Just as Count Snowdin’s mouth was getting dry, another news came.
[…] … Well, we were mistaken. Roman Dmitry is not running away. He doesn’t hide his tracks, and he slaughters every enemy that comes into contact with him. It just felt like he was running away because he was too fast, but he never once ran away from Valhalla. Count Snowdin. As things stand now, it is virtually impossible to tie up Roman Dmitry for a month.]
Around that time.
Roman Dmitry passed by Eltar.
It became clear.
If he can pass Eltar this quickly even with a chase, Roman Dmitry will be able to reach the Frankish border in about a week.
A week was too short.
Even if Kronos and Valhalla declared war with all their might, it was impossible to resolve the entire situation in one week.
blast furnace.
Valhalla needed a decision.
“Send all the troops you have gathered to attack the Southern Three Kingdoms to Roman Dmitry. The Southern Three Kingdoms are not important at all in the current situation. Roman Dmitry. The point of this war is to prevent his intervention. “Only by creating a situation where he cannot intervene as much as possible can we take down Dmitry and isolate Roman Dmitry.”
My mouth was dry.
Just a week.
This war will be decided around the time Roman Dmitry enters the Frankish border.
* * *
At that time, Dmitry.
Seeing the fiercely charging Kronos Empire forces, Flora Lawrence, who was in charge of the left wall, raised her voice.
“Team 2, prepare magic.”
“Team 1, fire magic!”
Hwareuk.
Grumbling.
A fire broke out.
The wizards of Phoenix unleashed their magic at Flora Lawrence’s command.
“Inferno.”
“Inferno.”
Quang!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Beyond the castle walls.
A terrible scream was heard.
Imperial soldiers engulfed in flames fell to the ground with their skin melting, and some were clutching their necks in the aftermath of the heat.
The airway was burned by the intense heat.
Hundreds of soldiers were wiped out in one blow, but their positions were quickly replaced by others, to the extent that they could not even be happy about the damage.

The imperial army trampled on the corpse.
They approached the castle wall with faces prepared for death, and began to climb up the ladder one by one.
“Spray oil!”
“Part 3, prepare magic. “Archers, aim and fire at enemies coming up the ladder, not enemies at a distance!”
It was a confusing situation.
Just now.
The gate was opened.
Flora Lawrence knew this, but she was not impatient and maintained her position.
Ares was a variable.
It was a fatal problem that could not be responded to even if anticipated, and Dmitry might have been taken over as a result of the variables he created.
But the problem should not be considered a problem. The art of war did not always require ingenious strategies.
In a situation like the present where there is absolutely no way to back down, it was also important for the commander in charge of the soldiers to maintain composure and not be swayed by variables.
Stick to the basics.
It was the core of military strategy.
As Rodwell Dmitry set out to solve the gate problem, Flora Lawrence tried to focus on her own situation.
“Prepare 1st group magic, fire 2nd group magic!”
Quang!
Grumbling.
The magic exploded.
Feeling her heart go cold, Flora Lawrence quickly made the right decision for the left wall.
The variable has already occurred.
In order to somehow turn the situation around, it was necessary not to overturn the situation with a great strategy, but to block other variables from occurring on the left wall.
That was the role of leaders like Flora Lawrence.
As a staff advisor and in charge of controlling the soldiers, she personally fired arrows while giving orders, preventing the enemies from climbing up the castle walls.
Past years.
Flowers in the greenhouse became wildflowers.
Experiencing various events such as Barco, the civil war in Cairo, and the war with Kronos, she became a completely different person.
puck.
An arrow pierced the enemy’s head.
As if such a scene was nothing, Flora Lawrence calmly aimed her bow at another enemy.
The battle was fierce.
He was faithful to his role.
However, I couldn’t help but keep looking at Rodwell Dmitry.
A glance.
‘… … Please, hold on until the end.’
Passage of the castle gate.
It was literally hell.
In a situation stained with blood and fire, Flora Lawrence gritted her teeth.
“Concentrate! “The war is not over yet!”
now.
The priority was to fulfill my role.
* * *
A short distance from Dmitry’s walls.
Mystique looked at the battlefield.
“They are such annoying guys. “Have there been people who have endured this much against the Kronos Empire?”
I recalled my memories.
To put it bluntly.
There wasn’t a single person.
Those who rebelled against Alexander disappeared into the back of history, and the Kronos Empire has never experienced a crisis.
But this time was different.
Dmitry, who grew up quickly with Roman Dmitry at the head, had a record of blocking the attack of the Kronos Empire even though he was from a weak country.
that day.
Sven is dead.
Mystique felt quite embarrassed by the fact that a 6-star swordsman was attacked even without Roman Dmitri.
“But the entertainment is over now.”
This war.
Alexander made a decision.
Mystique felt a shiver run through her body when she heard that she would conquer the continent and achieve her grand dream.
At one time, he was also a great wizard who ruled the continent.
It wasn’t easy to swear loyalty to someone, but after seeing the future that Alexander was planning, he couldn’t help but bow his head.
There was a fate in this world that could not be resisted.
Mystic is.
I bowed down to a great fate.
Hwaak-
Mana was created.
Behind Mystic.
The shadows stood up.
In the last war, Mystique attacked Dmitri with space movement magic, and Dmitry formed a magic defense to prevent penetration into Dmitry just in case.
Even as a Mystic, it was impossible to break through the magic defense and move inside.
However, if you use power that is not permitted in this world, you can move the minority just once, assuming that you cannot use the power for the time being.
that.
It was an unexpected variable following Ares.
In preparing for this war, Dmitry was not the only one who found improvement points from previous wars.
“Dmitry. No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to hold out until Roman Dmitri arrives.”
Quad deud deuk.
Magic power exploded.
The swirling magic tore apart the space, and shadows were sucked in one by one into the purple world revealed inside.
This war.
As if he had surrendered himself to fate.
Dmitry’s destruction will proceed as scheduled.
* * *
Wow.
The space opened up.
The sky of Dmitri distorted, and hundreds of shadows simultaneously fell like rain towards the city of Dmitri.
“Kill everyone you see.”
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
their purpose.
It was a massacre in itself.
Only a small number of troops were able to infiltrate the magic defenses, and it was impossible to annihilate Dmitri on their own.
Fernando protects his immunity.
It has been proven in previous battles that the presence of troops not actively participating in the battle of the outer castle is enough to block the shadows.
so that.
It fell on the border between extroversion and introversion.
Since Fernando could not lead his troops, he planned to cause as much confusion as possible.
“evil!”
“Aaaah!”
A massacre occurred.
Because the inner city could not accommodate all the civilians, some helped with tasks such as hiding at the border between the outer castle and the inner castle or transporting supplies.
They were the shadows’ target. No matter how many civilians we kill, it will have no effect on the general trend.
Mystique was not unaware of this fact, but unless she was an evil person who took human life lightly, a situation like this was bound to cause problems.
just as expected.
The situation was immediately reported to Knight Commander Jonathan.
“Commander Jonathan! “Shadows are attacking the city now!”
Crack.
Knight Commander Jonathan cut down the enemy army.
Not only did he take command of Mercury, but he also actively went into battle and cut down enemies who climbed the walls of the castle.
“Damn it. “Kronos finally broke through the magic defense.”
Kronos’ strategy.
It wasn’t common.
Normally, space movement magic requires a medium such as a warp gate, but the Kronos Empire showed signs of going beyond common sense in previous wars.
It was the same this time too. Without any intermediary, they sent hundreds of thousands of troops to Dmitry.
I was not embarrassed because I had experienced it once before, but it was still a mystery that could not be understood by common sense as to how this was possible.
Last war.
At a meeting held by Dmitry’s leaders, Flora Lawrence mentioned one variable.
“What if? Indeed, if the Kronos Empire were able to break through the ‘magic defense’ and infiltrate troops inside, it would cause a fatal problem. We must prepare for the worst. “If we want to win the war, we need to decide now what the action manual will be when unexpected variables arise.”
It was a cruel reality.
that day.
The leaders made a decision.
Knight Commander Jonathan stepped back and spoke to the soldier who delivered the news.
“Right now, we cannot allow power leakage. If you withdraw some troops to resolve the situation in the city, you may face the worst situation now that the gates have been breached. “Leave that place to McBurney’s detachment.”
“… … Do you think they alone can stop it?”
The soldier trailed off.
McBurney’s separate unit.
They were a special group.
I am not ignoring their efforts, but this problem was not at a level that could be solved by a separate unit alone.
People with stories like McBurney.
Those who had lost a body part in the war or had given up on life as a soldier due to mental problems, followed McBurney and chose a new life.
A separate unit that protects the city in times of emergency.
I heard that they received the same level of training as ordinary soldiers, but their opponents were not ordinary beings but shadows of the Kronos Empire.
I was worried.
To such a reaction.
Knight Commander Jonathan spoke firmly.
“We just do what we can. Even if they are annihilated, their deaths will have full meaning if we win the war. So focus on our purpose. “The best we can do is to fulfill our roles in each position until the end.”
I looked away.
There wasn’t the slightest worry.
Commander of the frontier knights.
Knight Commander Jonathan, who was once asked if he was satisfied with his position, built his own world like others, enduring the ravages of time.
In order to become a person worthy of Dmitry.
Through his past experiences, he realized that he had to think and make different decisions than before.
It was then.
Quang!
Crumbling.
An explosion was heard from afar.
This meant that McBurney’s detachment had begun their own fight to the death.
Knight Commander Jonathan gritted his teeth and shouted in a voice so loud that the chaotic battlefield shook.
“Kill them all! “Show the price to those who dare to cross Dmitry!”
Crumbling.
An exploding aura.
Knight Commander Jonathan displayed a 4-star aura.
That too.
As a prosecutor, I have taken a step forward.
