never ending war (3)

Magical communication is connected.

Roman Dmitry's face appeared on the screen installed as a temporary measure.

[This is Roman Dmitry of the Southern Front.]

beyond the screen.

All the leaders of the Cairo Kingdom, including Daniel Cairo, gathered.

When they checked Roman's face, they could not hide the desire that was revealed from their eyes.

"I heard reports that all of the front-line defensive positions on the southern front had been captured. What have you been doing all this time?"

It was Daniel Cairo.

a week gap.

I couldn't help but be frustrated.

Roman Dmitry was the only one to have won the battle, but he did not show any response to the changing situation.

I don't mean to undermine his major.

However, the unilaterally cut off communication and what happened after that made me questionable as a person watching from a distance.

said Roman.

[We have been reorganizing our power for a week.]

" power reorganization. I don't want to blame you for your great achievement against the kingdom of Hector. In the meantime, however, the three defenses of the Southern Front fell into the enemy's grasp. War is not always a perfect place, so couldn't we just form a line and help them as quickly as possible?

[I will tell you my honest opinion. It was because of luck that he was able to win the battle against the kingdom of Hector. They had the power to overwhelm the Southern Front. Fortunately, the mountain's geographical advantage and darkness could be used to counter the attacks of enemies, but encountering them in the plains is unsustainable. So, I decided to keep the power. From the moment the commanders of the Southern Front locked the gates against my advice, there was no way I could help them.]

It was quiet.

Even when asked why.

Roman wasn't too concerned.

People watching the battlefield from afar would be easy to say, but what was happening on the field was different from what they thought.

And.

He knew at once how to make his choice understand.

[The kingdom of Hector risked life and death in this war. Butler, who ranked second in the kingdom of Hector, participated in the war, and confirmed that the enemy's commander, Prince Edwin Hector, was a wizard. I think everyone knows it well. Wizards wield absolute power in the plains. So I didn't go down the mountain. I thought that the stage where we would fight was not now, but when Cairo's main force arrived.]

" what?!

Daniel Cairo's eyes widened.

Butler and Edwin Hector.

It was a familiar name.

Butler had a reputation as a swordsman representing the kingdom of Hector, and Edwin Hector, unlike Daniel Cairo, was rumored to be a talent born with the qualities of a king.

But Edwin Hector turned out to be a wizard.

It was shocking.

Cairo's leaders, who were observing the situation, also responded that they were bewildered by what Roman had revealed.

'Roman's judgment is correct. If the kingdom of Hector mobilized the 5-star swordsman and wizard, there is no chance of winning with the power of the southern front right now.'

'Butler went to war.'

'The kingdom of Hector really risked life and death.'

suddenly.

They once again thought that Roman was great.

Against the Butler and the Wizard, Roman won a huge victory through the guerrilla operation.

It was certain.

Roman Dmitry was a monster.

Looking at the talent that would later spread to the continent, the eyes of the nobles were dyed with greed.

"His Majesty the King. I don't think there's any need to pursue more heroes of war.

"I think the same. Roman Dmitry was the only person to defeat the kingdom of Hector on the Southern Front. If he decides it is right for him to redefine his forces, he needs to trust the judgment of the field."

they added

It was a statement that clearly disregarded Daniel Cairo.

got used to

Daniel Cairo suppressed his anger with as calm a face as possible.

Okay. I won't ask any more questions. Roman Dmitry. Cairo's main force will arrive soon. However, the kingdom of Hector must have already completed the preparations for the fortress in the rear position, so we will attack the enemies after making sufficient preparations. Then join the main unit and help them."

[Sorry, but time is not on our side.]

"What do you mean?"

Roman's speech.

He looked suspicious.

As soon as the kingdom of Hector was locked in the rear position, Roman thought of one possibility.

[It is at most three days after the main force of Cairo arrives. If the rear positions are not destroyed, the kingdom of Hector will surely attract external forces such as the 'Kronos Empire'.]

That means.

It was enough to shock people.

* * *

Hector's Kingdom.

They were pushed to the edge of a cliff.

Still, he did not give up on the war.

He quickly destroyed the defensive positions of the southern front, and chose the method of decisive resistance in the rear positions.

'What are the best and worst choices the enemy can make?'

Yeokjisaji (易地思之).

I thought from the other person's point of view.

For the kingdom of Hector, it would be ideal if Cairo would graciously accept the negotiation, but due to his existence, it was virtually impossible.

Roman revealed every detail of Hector's kingdom through the radio.

The kingdom of Hector would have no choice but to think of the worst, and a solution was needed after the breakdown of negotiations.

The threat that Edwin Hector spoke of.

Spraying the necromancer's poison and ruining the southern lands is not the right way to go.

The way for the kingdom of Hector to survive.

It was, there was only one.

[The purpose of the Hector kingdom planning this war is to solve the country's difficulties. They do not have any grudges against the Kingdom of Cairo, nor do they wish to occupy the lands of the south. Rather, if the land they have to manage increases, the burden on the country will only increase. The kingdom of Hector was at a corner. Nevertheless, if they choose to fight back, you can see that they want clear results from their situation.]

Hector's Star.

He's not the kind of person to go ahead without a plan.

If you risked your life to stay on the Southern Front, it would be because the choice was worth it.

[A warp gate that can teleport a large number of people is installed in the rear fortification. Warp Gate is a very convenient magic civilization, but it has the potential to be used in war, so it must be destroyed in case of emergency. The southern front lost the warp gate in a surprise attack. What do you think would happen if the kingdom of Hector made a deal with the Kronos Empire in exchange for the warp gate? The kingdom of Hector will be able to get the reward we were hoping for, and the Chronos Empire will have another stronghold to press the Cairo kingdom from the southern front.]

" this.

I was shocked.

Daniel Cairo's expression turned pale.

surely.

I never thought I would take such an extreme method.

I thought that the Cairo Kingdom was clearly an advantageous fight, but an unexpected variable choked my breath.

"Then what should we do?"

eyes were focused.

When everyone is sure of victory.

Roman Dmitry predicted the only variable.

With this war as an opportunity, the top leaders fully acknowledged Roman and focused all their attention on his words.

said Roman.

[There is only one way.]

War is simple.

finally.

[Junggongbeop. Within three days, we can capture the rear fortifications.]

The moment you defeat your opponent, all problems will be solved.

* * *

Roman's prediction was correct.

Edwin Hector, who had control of the Southern Front, immediately contacted the Kronos Empire.

"I will tell you straight up. We hope to sell the Southern Front of the Cairo Kingdom to the Kronos Empire. As you know, the heart of the Southern Front is the warp gates in the rear positions. We have it intact and we are willing to sell it if we get the right price."

warp gate.

it's the magic essence

The warp gates Edwin Hector installed for a surprise attack are low-grade warp gates that can accommodate a small number of people, while the ones on the southern front are higher-grade warp gates that cost a lot of time and money just to install.

If you occupy it.

As Roman explained through magic communication, the Chronos Empire can press the Cairo Kingdom by securing a base on the Southern Front as well as the Western Front.

[ ] It's a very attractive proposal.]

beyond the screen.

Count Hadid of the Kronos Empire laughed.

[But I cannot accept the proposal of Hector Kingdom right now. The Kingdom of Cairo will struggle to retake the Southern Front. It's good to secure the Southern Front, but shouldn't we have to bear the wrath of it? If you wish to do business with us. Prove that you have completely captured the rear positions for about a month. If the rear positions do not collapse for a month, we will make a deal with the Kingdom of Hector to pay a fair price.]

Kronos Empire.

they were evil

It would be beneficial to accept the offer right now, but I took the lead in trying to get the most out of it.

even knowing that

There was no other way for the kingdom of Hector.

" I accept the offer. one month later. We will get back to you."

tuk.

communication was cut off.

It was the expected result.

A giant like the Kronos Empire didn't think that Hector's kingdom would go as smoothly as he wanted.

Edwin Hector said.

Jackson.

Yes.

"Contact Hector's family right now. With the current power, it cannot last a month. By linking the warp gate of the Hector Kingdom with the warp gate of the rear camp, we must secure manpower and supplies to last a month."

Okay.

Cairo Kingdom.

They will attack the rear positions with all their might.

I had prepared for a siege weapon such as a flare in advance, but it wasn't enough to last a month.

The greater the distance, the more difficult the link becomes.

Minimum 3 days.

If you earn time to link with Hector's Warp Gate, you will be able to survive on the edge of the cliff.

'This war. It is a fight that must not be defeated. I will surely return to the kingdom of Hector with hope.'

the royal name.

The heavy burden, Edwin Hector accepted it calmly.

* * *

only ten days.

It was the scheduled time.

Cairo's main force arriving at the southern front could not hide its anger at Hector's flag fluttering from afar.

"Damn guys."

"How dare you plant Hector's flag on the territory of Cairo. I will surely tear you to death."

commander of the main unit.

It was Count Fabius.

He set up a base where the rear fortifications were visible, and he called the leaders into the commander's barracks.

Leaders arriving one after another.

However, even when they saw Count Fabius, they did not show much manners.

'It's like the people of the central government are directly involved in a war that is only sent to the southern front, with little profit. That means that he has a great desire for Roman Dmitry. This war is not just about destroying the kingdom of Hector. At the same time, it is important to win the heart of Roman Dmitry.'

that also.

He was a descendant of the Marquis Benedict.

Baron Thales sitting on the right was from the Kronos Empire, and Baron Brahim sitting on the left was from the Valhalla Empire.

over-the-counter warfare.

They have a special mission.

He hoped to persuade Roman as much as possible and make him on his side.

Count Fabius said.

"His Majesty King Daniel, after Roman Dmitry joined, consulted with him and gave orders to bring down the kingdom of Hector. Please wait a little. The meeting will begin after he arrives."

Okay.

An awkward silence lingered.

how much time has passed

A soldier's voice was heard outside.

"Roman Dmitry has arrived."

flutter.

The door opened.

Hero of the Southern Front.

Roman Dmitry, the protagonist of this conference, caught people's attention.
