leaving the battlefield behind.

Edwin Hector went to the barracks.

At the brief barracks designated as the command center, the chiefs under Edwin Hector's orders had already arrived.

Jackson. Report the situation."

Okay.

The leader of the ranger unit.

Jackson stepped forward.

"I ordered the 3rd Battalion to mobilize the 3rd Battalion to deal with the remnants right after the 1st defense line was broken. However, since an hour ago, the companies belonging to the 3rd Battalion have lost contact one by one. At first, I thought it was just a communication problem, but seeing that the three companies lost contact one after another, it seems that they were attacked by the enemy."

"What is the expected damage?"

"About 300 people."

His expression hardened.

this war.

It was done under the perfect plan for victory.

However, the fact that Hector's warriors died due to a single variable touched Edwin Hector's heart.

"Most of the forces on the Southern Front locked the gates and chose Mercury. In such a situation, it must have been Roman Dmitry who killed Baron McCleary on the 5th line of defense that caused our damage. The fear has become a reality. Roman Dmitry chose not to flee over the mountains, but to remain on the southern front and fight us."

The voice subsided.

The name is Roman Dmitry.

I didn't like it from the beginning.

The first time the cog-wheel plan went awry, Edwin Hector took the name into his head.

"There was a change in the plan. Leaving Roman Dmitry alone would certainly create another problem."

"Commander."

was one of the leaders.

The square-faced man spoke with a firm voice.

"As the commander said, there were variables that were different from the initial plan. Baron McCleary is dead, and Roman Dmitry will mobilize the remnant to thwart our plans. But it's not that important. The Southern Front consists of five forward defensive positions and one rear position. With the most important rear positions and the first line of defense in our grasp, capturing the rest of the defensive positions will naturally weaken the southern front. See the forest. Rather than deal with a rat named Roman Dmitry, it is more important to destroy the defensive positions in front of us."

Small room.

Roman Dmitry is a small variable.

If the siege fails while being swayed by him, from then on, we cannot be sure of the success of the plan.

3 days.

No time for Cairo.

Even if they had other ideas, they were planning to completely destroy the defensive positions and choke their breath within three days.

so that.

Edwin Hector was dissuaded.

Hector's Star.

He knew from experience that he always acted outside of common sense when he revealed his feelings of discomfort.

However.

Edwin Hector has already come to a conclusion.

no. What's important now is not to focus on the second line of defense, where I can't counterattack as I expected, but rather to deal with variables that mess up my plans in areas I didn't expect. withdraw your troops immediately. From now on, we will completely annihilate the rats of the Southern Front."

at that word.

Embarrassment flashed on the faces of the leaders.

second line of defense.

won't last long

With a high ground in front of him, he could not readily follow Edwin Hector's judgment to defeat the troops now.

said the chieftain.

"It is a reckless decision. Remnants are only a few. Once you've captured all of your defenses, it's never too late to kill them after that. And isn't it possible to turn the tide with such an army?

That's right.

Edwin Hector wasn't unaware of it either, but from the moment he first received the report, he had an ominous feeling.

instinctive sense.

People say instinct and common sense are different.

But in the end, instinct came from common sense.

After revisiting the plans countless times over the past year or so, Instinct classified Roman Dmitry as a risk factor.

Edwin Hector said.

"I don't know what you mean. But as a commander, I always have to be prepared for the worst. The worst thing I'm worried about isn't the failure to bring down all five defenses in three days, but the existence of Roman Dmitry, who may be flailing on the southern front and creating unexpected variables. we don't have time Even if Roman Dmitry creates an unpredictable variable, then the situation is worse than failing to capture the defense."

It was a simple matter.

Problems that can be fixed and problems that cannot.

Edwin Hector empowered the latter.

It was enough to destroy the defensive positions somehow, but Roman Dmitry's actions could not be fully understood.

"Not the worst, but the lesser evil. If, after listening to my explanation, the majority say that breaking down the second line of defense is a priority, I will break my stubbornness and follow my opinion."

Actually.

The leaders knew.

The fact that when Edwin Hector made a decision, there must be a good reason.

Still, the reason I asked a commonsense question was because I could make a human mistake even once.

Everyone nodded.

meant to be understood.

Jackson spoke as the representative.

"I will obey your orders."

do they know

by this judgment.

Hector's kingdom came to set foot in the Southern Mountains earlier than expected, where Roman Dmitry was waiting.

The sun went down.

When it was time for the peasants to go home and have dinner with their families, a bright fire broke through the darkness and spread in all directions.

Hwareuk.

gurgling.

Hector's soldiers lit the torches.

"When you find enemies, do not attack them in haste, but blow the whistle right away. The remnants of Cairo contain an aura swordsman. If you slowly push your enemies into a corner and attack them all at once, you'll be able to deal with them all without taking too much damage!

Okay!

2nd Battalion 3rd Battalion.

The company commander in charge of the search in some areas raised his voice.

The southern mountains are wide.

If you search indiscriminately, you may miss the enemy, so I chose the method of slowly ascending by stretching the troops from the bottom.

If enemies appear, there is a risk of losing your life, but from the moment the enemy's location is revealed, it is possible to completely surround it from all sides.

It was Edwin Hector's idea.

Rather than wasting time with an ambiguous search, the goal was to completely wipe out the remnants with one move.

evil.

Darkness was dispelled by the fire.

The soldiers slowly climbed the mountain.

They looked around very carefully, to the point of being surprised when stepping on dry leaves for nothing.

"Whoa, whoa."

The commander-in-chief took the lead.

Exhaling white breath, the company commander looked around with a hard face.

According to a survivor who followed Baron McCleary, Roman Dmitry was a true battlefield ghost.

Even the slightest carelessness could lead to death.

No matter how prepared he was to fight, he vowed to risk his life for the country, but no one, including the company commander, wanted to be the first to die.

step by step.

When the flame lit up the darkness, the area where the flame could not reach was colored with darkness.

"The one on the right?"

"Nothing is wrong."

It was a soldier following right next to him.

Seeing the soldier moving while pricking the ground with a skewer, the company commander made the decision that it was safe and turned his head.

Moment.

sure.

" !"

Darkness fell over the soldier.

I couldn't blow my whistle, but I couldn't even yell at the company commander for help.

a fleeting moment.

The neck was twisted in the opposite direction.

The soldier who was killed after failing to defy properly once made a blunt sound and threw his face on the floor.

However, the commander did not hear the sound.

Not only the company commander, but also the other soldiers, even though a colleague had died right next to him, instead of looking back, they just moved forward.

"The one on the left?"

"Nothing is wrong."

It was a sign of death.

After the company commander confirmed that there was no problem, the darkness that followed took the soldier's life.

one two.

It didn't feel strange at first.

However.

With the surrounding fires gradually fading, the company commander later realized that things were going wrong.

"Hey, what is this?!"

face turned white.

The soldiers disappeared.

Apparently, even when he started, there were many people following him, but when he looked around, the number of flames illuminating the darkness had significantly decreased.

heart sank.

He was hurriedly blew his whistle at the fact that this had happened even though he had obviously kept his distance while walking.

no.

tried to call

fast.

The captain's neck was twisted.

With the whistle in his mouth, he collapsed like a doll with a broken thread.

That was the beginning.

all over the mountains.

Hector's soldiers began to die one by one.

* * *

The secret didn't last long.

death of soldiers.

It was discovered soon after, and a loud whistle pierced the stillness of the darkness and resounded everywhere.

beep profit-

Beep, beep-

"An enemy has appeared!"

"Check out your co-workers! We must cut off the escape route and drive the enemy into one place!"

Everyone was upset.

Soldiers turn their eyes on and check their surroundings.

Among them, there were aura swordsmen who illuminate the darkness with magical artifacts, but no matter how much they looked, they could not see the enemy.

"Where the hell are you!"

I didn't understand.

A colleague died right next door.

Of course, it was normal to be around, but I couldn't understand how he disappeared without making a sound.

far from them.

There was a man in the darkened space.

'The judgment of the kingdom of Hector is bolder than expected. As expected, I was planning to take full advantage of the guerrilla operation while attacking other defensive positions, but I decided to block the variable until the kingdom of Hector gave up the second line of defense. Who is their commander? From a surprise attack to the decision to attack the warp gate. Absolutely no ordinary person.'

laughter came out.

Seeing how he reacted to an extreme reaction to a slight touch, Roman did not panic, but rather, his spirit of victory boiled over.

There were lights all over the mountain.

Instead of leading one battalion in the middle of a search, it seemed as if they had all been dragged to the mountain, leaving only a minimal number of troops pressing on the defensive positions.

The southern mountain range is very steep and the terrain where it can hide is limited.

The commander of the kingdom of Hector was perfectly aware of that fact, and while boldly giving up the area to be abandoned, he attacked precisely the area where the remnants of Cairo could hide.

The judgment was right.

In fact, Roman's troops were there, but as a kingdom of Hector, one variable was not expected.

Roman Dmitry.

I didn't know what kind of being he was.

It's not about the level of helplessness.

The rugged mountains and darkness that cannot be seen an inch ahead.

It was a limiting factor on both sides' ankles, but Roman was able to move freely in the dark.

'It's been a long time since I've felt this feeling.'

How to fight using darkness.

People think that Baek Jung-hyeok always wants to face off in the front.

The truth is different.

It was a time when I still didn't have enough energy.

In order to meet his father's expectations, Baek had to adapt to living in the gloomy darkness.

then.

People called Baek Joong-hyuk like this.

'Gwiyoung (鬼影).'

ghost's shadow.

Roman was waiting for Hector's decision.

when darkness fell.

come into the mountain.

From now on, it was the stage of Baek Jung-hyeok, the devil, or Baek Jung-hyuk, the ghost. UnknownJune 22, 2021 at 5:44 AM

Dude he was a god in his previous life and he got his memory from previous life as well. Even though he was reborn on a useless person body , he just needs a bit of training to get back in shape. That way , with a bit of training his body , in can keep up to him. It would be actually surprising if he died from a bunch of weak soldiers.

I want to see Prince Hector remind Roman of a general whom he had under his wing, and take him in with the rangers to grow his own personal army.

It s not bs, it s been stated from the first few episodes that this world compared to moorim is fodder, Roman has already mastery of a lot of moorim abilities which have been stated to far exceed anything in this new world. Even though his body is weaker he is still strong compared to people in the new world. Hell Chris is suppose to be a genius in the new world but in Roman s words when he first faced chris, he s fodder, not even 2nd rate warrior in his world.
