Episode 407: Conquest of the Continent (6)
The battlefield has been cleared.
After making sure there were no unexpected variables, Roman Dmitry ordered the soldiers to rest and summoned the leaders.
The conference room that lost its owner had a quiet atmosphere.
In the aftermath of the battle, the bloody-smelling leaders arrived one after another, and once they were all seated, Lucas reported the situation.
“After checking the enemy’s movements, it appears that they are preparing a desperate fight in the capital while buying time, as expected. A compulsory summons was issued to the nobles of Kronos, and a message was sent that if there were any who surrendered, there would be certain retaliation. Kronos has now reached his limit. Over the past few years, they have experienced numerous defeats, and Kronos’ seemingly endless power has run out. “The moment the capital is destroyed, Kronos can no longer hold out.”
Things have changed.
Kronos, who boasted of overwhelming power, was slowly eaten away, and the situation took a turn for the worst as hundreds of thousands of his troops, like Alexander, died.
Normally, the war would have been led by utilizing the entire large land mass.
However, Kronos also thought that he needed a single, sure and powerful counterattack to defeat Roman Dmitri, so he endured the humiliation of giving up some territory and prepared for the final battle.
their will.
It was clearly delivered.
From the moment they refused to accept the previous negotiations, they expressed their strong will to hold out and bite until the end.
Chris said.
“From now on, I don’t think we need to allow the enemy enough time to prepare for a desperate fight. How about dividing the troops and clearing the surrounding area? Troops that have not been mobilized according to the current summons are nothing more than arrows to waste time, so holding them back one by one is nothing more than a meaningless war of attrition. Quickly and surely. If we attack the capital of Kronos after clearing the surrounding area, we can push the Kronos Empire into a corner.”
“I also agree. “The remaining enemies are at a level where we can easily attack them even if we divide our forces to bide our time.”
Chris and Lucas.
The two men agreed.
Other leaders nodded their heads in agreement, and Roman Dmitry was no different.
This war.
Speedy resolution was important.
With the fatigue of the war already considerable, it was clear that a prolonged war with Kronos would put Dmitri in danger.
For that reason, we were considering dividing our forces from the beginning.
However, for Roman Dmitry, even if he had made a decision, he thought about how to achieve the best efficiency in detail.
‘Chris and Kevin. The relationship between the two has been changing recently.’
The rivalry between the two.
I didn’t know.
As time went by, the tendency to become more aware of each other became stronger, and it was completely ignited during this war.
I had no negative feelings about him.
It is a world where survival requires competition, and the people who followed Roman Dmitry in his past life showed a sense of competition even if they were colleagues.
Light demon, blood demon, sword demon, etc.
Everyone wanted to be second in command.
Because of this entangled and competitive relationship, his past life self was able to conquer the martial arts.
blast furnace.
It was a necessary process.
Rather than restraining it, it actually poured fuel on it.
“I agree with you. We still have many problems to solve. There is no reason to waste time dealing with Kronos, so from now on we will divide our forces into three and clear the surrounding area. First of all, the main force I lead will move along the planned route and head to the capital. And Chris.”
“yes.”
“You take charge of the second group and go back to the left. That is the land where most of the nobles responded to the summons. What you need to prioritize is blocking variables. Take care of war supplies that can be used to the advantage of the enemy and destroy all the rest. In the process, do not leave alive any of those who do not surrender. “If we leave room for troops, they may attack our rear.”
“All right.”
“Edwin.”
“Please speak.”
Edwin Hector made eye contact.
The meeting with Dmitry’s leaders now felt familiar.
“You take charge of the 3rd group and go back to the right. The mission is the same as the 2nd Army. What you need to keep in mind is to clear the surrounding area with minimal damage. If you advance too hard and a problem arises, you will end up in a worse situation than if you had not divided your troops. And Kevin.”
“… … yes?”
I was very surprised.
He looked a little glum because he wasn’t called, but Roman Dmitry’s eyes suddenly turned to him.
Looking at Kevin.
Roman Dmitry said.
“You follow Edwin. Assist him and achieve results that will satisfy me.”
* * *
The meeting is over.
Roman Dmitry says.
That never left Kevin’s mind.
“You follow Edwin. Assist him and achieve results that will satisfy me.”
It didn’t just mean to believe.
Roman Dmitry.
I knew everything.
Kevin felt his blood boiling as he saw the board being laid out for him to compete if he wanted to.
‘The master delivered a clear message to Chris and me. This means that you should support the competition between the two, but don’t be blinded by the sense of competition and miss out on certain achievements. Only by winning both the result and the process can you win against Chris.’
I hurried my steps.
Future plans.
In order to achieve the picture he wanted, he definitely needed the help of one being.
“Prince Edwin.”
“What happened?”
“I have something else to tell you.”
Edwin Hector.

He was the commander of the 3rd Army.
Kevin’s commanding ability was somewhat poor, so unlike Chris, he was unable to take on the role of commanding an army.
There were no complaints about him. Because I know what a great commander Edwin Hector is.
On the contrary, Kevin felt really fortunate that he was the one guiding him.
Kevin said.
“I want to clearly prove my existence in this war. Please use me actively. For perfect results, we are ready to fulfill any order.”
Moment.
Edwin Hector laughed.
He didn’t know why, but he found this situation amusing.
“Thank you for saying that. The fact is that since joining Dmitry, he had a picture that he personally wished for. There are many talented people like Kevin next to Roman Dmitry. “These are people who can accomplish a lot of things strategically, and it’s fun just to imagine leading such people as a commander.”
A simple thirst.
Before I knew it, it had become a desire.
When Roman Dmitry called him, Edwin Hector felt excited.
“Do not worry. I have been looking forward to this moment, and regardless of Kevin’s request, I also plan to prove my worth.”
* * *
A few days have passed since then.
actually.
War was a series of marches.
After destroying one fortress, we had to move diligently toward the next destination, actively utilizing warp gates with limited coordinates set along the way.
Thanks to this, Dmitry is able to reach his destination in just a few days.
It was located a little north of the east, and the topography was advantageous to Mercury, so it was expected that troops would be deployed there unconditionally.
just as expected.
On the castle wall.
The presence of enemy forces was visible.
Dmitry waited for the sun to set as he watched them move around busily, accompanied by the loud sound of horns.
Late at night.
The planning started from then on.
Sssss.
Inside the well.
Kevin quietly stuck his head out.
Moonlight was falling down the small passage, and Kevin summoned mana without making a sound and began to climb the wall of the well.
Hao Wen was fully prepared for this war.
In addition to the one guarded by Count Jean-Pierre, many fortresses were investigated, and passages connected to waterways were secured in advance.
The aisle was small.
Kevin could barely move on his own, but that was enough to carry out the operation.
“The enemy will already be preparing for an operation using a small number of forces. In particular, the castle gate will be well-defended, so there is absolutely no need to force yourself to attack it. Our purpose is only one. “This is to let you know that Dmitri has arrived here and is looking for something.”
It was Edwin Hector’s order.
months.
I landed outside the well.
There was no sound of falling footsteps at all, and even the moisture on the body quickly evaporated as the fire energy was raised.
Kevin slipped into the darkness.
No one noticed his presence, and Kevin looked for a street where guards could wander, recalling the internal map he had checked in advance.
And then.
puck.
“Ugh.”
I stopped breathing.
The soldiers let out a scream of death as a hand came out of the darkness, and they fell to the ground and were dragged into the darkness.
According to the security system here, it takes about 10 minutes for a deceased person to be discovered.
Kevin quickly killed the guards.
No one could react properly, and by the time 10 minutes had passed, more than 20 guards had lost their lives at his hands.
Preparations are complete.
As the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became noisy, Kevin took something out of his pocket and launched it into the sky.
Push.
Papa papapang.
The sky becomes bright as daylight.
It was a signal.
* * *
The fortress was turned upside down.
Count Jean-Pierre, who had fallen into a deep sleep, rushed out in a huff without even being properly dressed and shouted.
“What’s happening?!”
“It’s the enemy! “There are intruders inside the fortress!”
“Holy shit! Mobilize the troops immediately! Strengthen the perimeter of the city gates and look for intruders at all costs.”
midnight.
The fortress fell into chaos.
The emergency bell rang and all the soldiers woke up, and they formed a group and searched all over the fortress, armed with weapons.
But no matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find any trace of Kevin.
After setting off the flare, Kevin hid himself at a point he had planned in advance, and the soldiers with lights in their eyes saw the sun coming before they knew it.
said the adjutant.
“sorry. “We did not find any intruders.”
“Shit!”
Kwasik.
threw things away
With a red face, Count Jean-Pierre recalled the current situation around the fortress.
‘yesterday afternoon. The Kingdom Alliance has reached within sight. It’s a standoff situation right now, but seeing as the intruder has infiltrated inside, it’s clear they’re looking for something. How on earth did they get in? And by killing a few guards, what are they after?’
My mind was complicated.
Since yesterday evening.
An emergency alert state has been issued.
First, I ordered the soldiers to continue trying to find the intruder.
This order was given out of the belief that the enemy might have something to do with it, and the search operation lasted for two days.
So far, no intruder has been found.
Count Jean-Pierre could not help but feel increasingly anxious as the Kingdom Alliance was also watching the situation without attacking.
at last.
I contacted the surrounding lords.
[What’s going on?]
“As you know, the Kingdom Coalition has arrived here. Seeing as they let intruders into the fortress two days ago, it seems like they are preparing something. Please send reinforcements. “If we win here, where Mercury has the advantage, we have a good chance of winning.”
[…] … The opponent is Dmitry. Is it possible?]
“it’s possible. The Kingdom Alliance is currently dividing its forces into three. There is no reason why we can’t win, unless it’s the main team led by Roman Dmitry. If you build a solid record here. The Kronos Empire can secure an opportunity for a reversal. First of all, the dynamics of the kingdom union are visible, so if you enter through the back door, you can see the match here without any problem.”
[I understand for now.]
last few days.
It was a blood-drying time.
Since I couldn’t just watch quietly like this, I enlisted the help of three lords nearby.
After returning all contact, I felt at ease.
A sudden attempted attack in the middle of the night.
In the meantime, I couldn’t sleep because of the presence of the intruder and the sight of the united kingdom, and because I had dreams of dying horribly even when I went to bed.
The war is not over.
As he chose to fight to the death, he had no intention of collapsing like this.
Several days passed again.
Five days since the Kingdom Alliance arrived.
Just when strange thoughts were becoming increasingly prevalent, Count Jean-Pierre heard shocking news.
“Count! We’re in big trouble! The reinforcements who came to help us were annihilated when they encountered the Kingdom Alliance!”
“What are you talking about?!”
Jump up.
I got up from my seat.
I didn’t understand.
The reason why they were anxious but did not show any special response until the end was because the dynamics of the kingdom union were confirmed on the castle walls.
But they were definitely there all five days.
I confirmed over and over again that I was there, so what on earth is going on?
Could it be that there was another medical history?
no.
In their own territory, the Alliance of Kingdoms cannot move its troops so secretly that even Kronos does not notice.
That means.
‘Could it be that the appearance of the enemies I see right now is a trick of the eye?’
That was all there was to it.
and.
Misfortune struck one after another.
Deng-dong-dong-!
“emergency! emergency!”
“The enemy! “The enemy has appeared!”
Outside the office.
A commotion was heard.
Count Jean-Pierre, with a pale face, hurriedly walked towards the place where the sound was heard.
* * *
Arrived at the castle gate.
That place was already a hell of father and son-in-law.
Soldiers spread out on the floor.
A bloody stain.
Kevin, who the soldiers had been looking for, showed up on his own and slaughtered all the soldiers guarding the castle gate.
At the sight of Count Jean-Pierre, who arrived late.
Kevin grinned.
“You had a hard time looking for me.”
last few days.
Inside was in chaos.
The soldiers concentrated on the search without being able to rest properly, and could not neglect their vigilance due to the appearance of the kingdom alliance that existed outside the castle.
So, without even realizing it, their fatigue began to build up little by little.
And when Kevin reappeared, unlike a few days ago, there was a hole in the security system.
In the middle of enemy territory.
I took a risk.
Count Jean-Pierre shouted in a panic.
“Attack! “Stop that guy!”
Soldiers rushing from all directions.
Kevin looked at them and his aura appeared as if he was looking at them.
Flash.
A chain that is cut off in an instant.
The chain was torn away, and the heavy castle gate it was supporting fell onto the moat.
Quang!
Rumbling
The gate was opened.
The annihilation of surrounding lords.
And the opening of the gates.
It was a shocking result achieved in just a few days.
