Episode 392: The presence of only one person (2)
People’s eyes turned to the sky.
The thought circuit stopped for a moment when I saw the head of Count Solaire, who was leading the Kronos Empire army, flying up.
“… … “This is crazy.”
“Count Soler is dead!”
I was shocked.
There is only one opponent.
However, he single-handedly wiped out the Kronos Empire army and simply disposed of Count Solaire as if it were an entirely natural thing.
Fear filled people’s minds.
In the all-out war against Dmitry, most of the 300,000 army that was confident of victory failed to return after entering Cairo’s territory.
Then and now.
There was no difference.
On the contrary, when I had the 8th circle wizard Shephir, I had a chance of winning, but now I couldn’t think of a way to deal with the monster in front of me.
Even in the midst of confusion, Roman Dmitry did not stop.
Not only did he kill Count Soler, but he slaughtered everyone in sight.
Kwarung.
Crumbling.
A storm of aura arose.
Seeing the sight of the Aura swordsmen rushing at him and cutting them down, Count Soler’s lieutenant shouted without even realizing it.
“Retreat, retreat! “For now, we will preserve our forces and take another opportunity!”
“Everyone retreat!”
It was an unplanned action.
The top priority was to overthrow Umberto with a desperate will, but the adjutant thought that if things continued like this, the crushing defeat that occurred in the all-out war against Dmitri would be repeated.
Most of those who were confident of victory died for their confidence.
Just as Count Soler had received advice from his group commanders, the memories of fear that had crusted his ears made him realize that fighting like this was not for Kronos’ benefit.
first.
I had to live.
If we push ahead with numbers without a solution, we will end up adding a new phrase to Roman Dmitry’s achievements.
“Kaaak!”
“Run away!”
It was literally hell.
It was a sight I couldn’t believe even when I saw it with my own eyes.
No one in the Kronos Empire army found it strange to see hundreds of thousands of troops fleeing in the presence of just one person.
The value of Roman Dmitry’s name was that great.
The soldiers tried to escape quickly by pushing each other, and those who were pushed and caught by their comrades had no choice but to grit their teeth and rush towards Dmitry’s demon.
And without fail.
Flash.
Crumbling.
All heads were blown off.
Limbs were torn and blood was splattered.
The adjutant did not even look back.
Panting and running, he repeated the order to give up the battle line and run away, regardless of the soldiers’ safety.
‘Damn it.’
I gritted my teeth.
The reality of running away like this, leading Kronos’s army, felt so miserable.
But there was no way.
There may be a way to ignore Roman Dmitri and take down Umberto, but if the fundamental problem is not solved, one monster will devour Kronos.
Didn’t the last war prove the disastrous results that occurred when one person’s differences were ignored?
The adjutant repeatedly justified himself, saying that this was not a coward’s choice, but that he had made a decision for Kronos as an adjutant who had lost his commander.
Save the troops.
We will plan a counterattack.
Since Roman Dmitry was alone, he was confident that he would have a chance if he utilized the battlefield widely.
It was then.
How long did you run away?
The moment I was about to enter an area overgrown with bushes, mysterious people suddenly appeared around me.
“It’s Kronos!”
“Attack!”
“Kill all remnants of Kronos!”
Papa papa phat.
Crumbling.
Numerous arrows embroidered the sky.
Then, a magic bomb exploded on the ground, and the soldiers who were the first to flee were swept up in the explosion.
It was a trap.
The adjutant’s face turned pale.
‘why. Why is there a trap here?!’
I got goosebumps.
no way.
Did Roman Dmitry expect them to run away?

Before he could finish his question, the adjutant was unable to continue his thoughts as a powerful explosion exploded beneath his feet.
Quang!
Crumble, rumble.
* * *
The person who led the trap.
It was Umberto’s leadership.
His name was Baron Berison, and he had shown great distrust of this operation at our last meeting.
‘Is this really the right thing to do?’
This operation.
It was reckless.
There was only one reinforcement, Roman Dmitry, and a shockingly absurd plan was delivered from him.
“Take away some of Umberto’s troops and block the retreat route. “If you set up a trap and wait, you can completely eliminate the fleeing enemies.”
The words were plausible.
but.
The premise itself is wrong.
Baron Berison was worried that even if Roman Dmitry joined, there would be significant damage in the process of dealing with Kronos’ large army.
I believed in the power of Roman Dmitry.
He will exert tremendous influence, as he showed in the last war, but it was inevitable that Umberto would suffer damage.
In that situation.
Roman Dmitry’s strategy was based on the premise of a great victory.
Since the Kronos Empire would flee just by joining him, Umberto ordered them to make the bold choice of withdrawing some of their troops rather than focusing on Mercury.
At first, of course, I resisted.
It would be a truly inefficient decision to plant troops on the retreat route when it would not be enough to focus on Mercury.
The result of repeated wars of words.
I broke my stubbornness.
Rather than saying I completely trusted him, I believed in the ridiculous achievements that Roman Dmitry had shown so far.
Actually, I was feeling anxious until a little while ago.
If things seemed to go wrong, I had the intention of giving up on the operation and helping Umberto.
however.
The result was shocking.
The Kronos Empire army really fled.
The sight of them not even forming a proper formation was like jumping into the maw of a wild beast.
Quang!
Crumbling.
“Kaaaaaaak.”
Magic bombs exploded everywhere.
Thousands of soldiers were immediately swept away by the magic bombs that had been installed in advance, and the Kronos Empire army had no choice but to stop in embarrassment.
Meanwhile, arrows falling from the sky pierced my entire body.
In a situation where it was impossible to form a shield formation, the arrows falling like rain pierced through the arm and right between the eyes.
puck.
Confusion arose.
Seeing their comrades falling one after another, the Kronos Empire army rushed towards them like crazy with faces filled with fear.
“Attack!”
“Open the road!”
There was no other way.
behind them.
Roman Dmitry was following along.
They knew that they would all die the moment they caught him by the tail, so they rushed forward even though they knew that the terrain was unfavorable.
From then on, the hell of chaos unfolded.
No matter how strong Kronos was, it was not easy to break through the defense of Umberto, who had occupied the position in advance.
Bodies piled up.
The sight of the enemies rushing in at full speed was terrifying, but Baron Berison was not shaken in the slightest.
He was distrustful at first.
Now I showed blind faith.
In his heart, and to the soldiers.
There was strong confidence.
“Hold on! If you hold on and hold on, Roman Dmitry will arrive here!”
just as expected.
Papat.
Papa papa phat.
“Kaaak!”
As the massacre occurred from the rear, Baron Berison looked very excited and ordered his soldiers to fight desperately.
* * *
Time for the sun to set.
Umberto’s soldiers cheered enthusiastically at the sight of Roman Dmitri returning to Umberto’s castle.
“Roman! Roman! Roman!”
“Roman! Roman! Roman!”
“thank you! Thanks to you, Umberto overcame the crisis!”
There was an uproar.
They saw it clearly.
Changes that occur due to just one person.
Seeing the one-sided slaughter of the enemies, Kronos began to wander, and Umberto was able to take advantage of the crack and strike out all the enemies in one go.
It was Umberto who was worried about his survival until a few days ago.
Having witnessed the legend that is Roman Dmitry, they could not help but scream like fanatics.
And that’s it.
The same was true for Umberto’s leadership.
Those who had been expressing negative opinions, led by Baron Berison, were the first to take the initiative and showed wide smiles.
“You are truly amazing.”
“Honestly, I never thought I would single-handedly wipe out the Kronos Empire’s camp. Through this war, I have come to completely agree with why people call Roman Dmitri the greatest sword of the continent. Thank you very much. Thanks to this, Umberto was able to overcome the crisis of destruction.”
“We will show you the way.”
Their eyes were full of goodwill.
I was still dazed.
Just one person.
There was only one reinforcement.
While Dmitry’s main force left for Cairo and Hector respectively, the joining of Roman Dmitry turned the war, which was thought to be unfavorable, around at once.
Ordinary people said that an individual cannot defeat the majority.
However, if an individual is strong enough to defy common sense, the difference in numbers inevitably becomes meaningless.
That fact.
Kronos knew it too.
The reason the battlefield was divided into several areas was because it was a way to weaken each individual’s presence as much as possible.
First, I moved to my seat.
Just a moment of joy.
Since the war was not completely over yet, a meeting had to be held to resolve the issue from now on.
Calderon Drake gave up the head seat.
As Roman Dmitry watched, Baron Berison spoke.
“First, let me explain Umberto’s situation. Due to Kronos’ attack, Umberto’s damage is significant. “If he leaves defense troops in his country in case of additional attacks, the number of troops that Umberto can operate is less than 100,000 as of now.”
The current situation was not hopeful.
Cairo.
Hector.
Lawless zone.
The war was still going on in the three places, and it was a situation that could collapse at any moment if help was not provided quickly.
“How about solving the problems of the three southern kingdoms first? Just as Dmitry’s troops were sent to Cairo and Hector, I think it is right for Umberto’s troops to resolve the lawless area first, even considering the movement problems. If we stabilize the situation in the southern three kingdoms. After that, we can focus on other battlefields.”
It was a valid opinion in its own way.
however.
Roman Dmitry did not agree.
Looking down at the map on the table, he explained the battlefield situation one by one.
“We need to use our forces wisely from now on. First, the Western Front in Cairo. The Kronos Empire mobilized a large army and attacked Cairo, but Cairo has held on to this day without collapsing. That doesn’t mean things are hopeful. Through the war so far, the Kingdom of Cairo prepared for war with the confidence that Kronos would cancel the truce negotiations at any time. Thanks to this, they are still holding on to this day, but the defeat of the Kronos Empire Army that attacked Umberto has put them in jeopardy. There is a high probability that they will do everything in their power to bring down Cairo before another variable arises.”
I shifted my gaze.
Hector’s land was visible.
“The second is Hector’s southern front. In fact, it was thought that they would not be able to hold out for a long time, but the situation changed when Prince Edwin Hector ascended to the level of the 7th Circle. He accepted the oath of loyalty from the Celestial Tower wizards. Wizards specialized in Mercury and have survived until now thanks to their magical power. But they also have problems starting now. Valhalla failed to hold its own, and all troops that lost their objective will head to Hector, not the Southern Three Kingdoms. “It means that the situation Hector must deal with is an all-out war with Valhalla.”
Two battlefields.
Everything was serious.
But the final lawless zone was different.
“Compared to the previous two battlefields, the situation in the lawless zone is not that serious. Those who cause chaos in the lawless zone are ultimately just rioters. Since they do not have organized armament, their attacks are not difficult to fend off if you do not prioritize conquering lawless areas. “Without siege materials and magic weapons, there is no way for the mob to take down the tall castle in a short time.”
Now was the time to make a choice.
and.
Roman Dmitry had already made his decision.
“For that reason, I plan to exclude the situation in the three southern countries from my priority.”
* * *
It was a bold decision.
Unlike Baron Berison, who was embarrassed, Calderon Drake was appalled by Roman Dmitry’s remarks.
‘The priorities of the battlefield. Roman Dmitry always sees the essence of the battlefield.’
Roman Dmitry says.
It was right.
Umberto would feel at ease if he could solve the problems of the three southern kingdoms, but in fact, when looking at the war as a whole, the lawless area was not important enough to be prioritized.
The rioters in the lawless zone were just ordinary people.
There is a saying that they appear crazy, but that doesn’t mean they can take down the castle in a short time.
It was a difference in time.
With seconds ticking, Roman Dmitry listed his priorities.
‘Cairo and Hector are under direct threat from the two empires. In a situation where the entire kingdom union was shaken, Roman Dmitri strengthened his own opinion by helping the Kingdom of Umberto. Right after Dmitry defeated Kronos. The most dangerous battlefield was Umberto, so Roman Dmitry appeared to help us. It means that he has already acted according to battlefield priorities.’
blast furnace.
I trusted him.
People looking out for their own interests would have given priority to battlefields related to Dmitry.
However, by helping Umberto, Roman Dmitri proved that he judged the war as a whole.
Calderon Drake said.
“I agree with Roman Dmitry. I think resolving the situation in Cairo and Hector is a priority now, rather than the lawless areas of the south. The question is which of the two comes first. The forces of the Alliance of Kingdoms are limited. If we divide our forces ambiguously, we may end up with one or the other, so we need to have a clear direction and solve the problems one by one. Also, since Umberto does not have many reinforcements, it is impossible to kill two birds with one stone.”
Two battlefields.
Kronos and Valhalla will do their best.
Even they were convinced that with the fate of the country at stake, things would not be as easy as the fight at Umberto.
Eyes were focused.
If only Calderon Drake had agreed.
There was no reason to complain anymore.
In particular, people like Baron Berison came to completely trust Roman Dmitry because of this war.
Roman Dmitry said.
“The operation is simple.”
I caught my horse.
The knight symbolizing Umberto’s troops was moved and placed in one place for everyone to see.
widely.
People widened their eyes.
The place where the horse was moved.
That was an unexpected point.
“We will now advance towards the Kronos Empire.”
Advance north.
That was Roman Dmitry’s conclusion.
