Counterattack (3)

2 hours ago.

Roman Dmitry, who had been informed of Kronos' movement from the skirmishers, spread out a map on the table in the conference room.

widely.

????????

"As we expected, the Kronos Empire has chosen to return. Skirts were sent in case it could be a trap, but they didn't find any special moves to lure us in. Enemies are currently moving through the plains and through this path marked on the map. The overgrown terrain makes it necessary for the enemy to prepare for the attack of the pursuit, but they maintain a rather loose formation."

"You're completely distracted."

Yes. The Kronos Empire is clearly aware that they are not safe. Then it is common to form a dense formation, but they seem to have completely ruled out the pursuit of the Cairo Kingdom."

It was an obvious disregard.

outside the castle.

It was a space where there was no need to be afraid of Cairo.

In the past, they have invaded Cairo's territory several times, but regardless of victory or defeat in battle, Cairo never sent a pursuit.

each other knew the truth.

The existence of the castle was only barely enduring, and the fact that in an open space, the Kronos Empire would unilaterally be slaughtered.

so that.

A pursuit squad was formed.

It was necessary to set a precedent for the opponent who was easy to think of.

said Roman.

"Our plan is simple. The enemies are maintaining a long procession, so we plan to split our forces in two and attack the middle and rear at the same time. If you cut off the middle, your enemies will have no choice but to choke, and if you swallow them back and forth quickly then you can reduce a lot of numbers before they can react."

" It's a good plan, but the problem is when the troops are isolated."

It was Baron Noel.

Roman's words.

It's just an ideal situation, I didn't say the worst.

"If the plan goes awry due to the strong resistance of the enemy, the forces attacking the middle may be isolated back and forth. At that time, there is a chance that it will be reversed. Wouldn't it be better to team up and attack the rear instead? If the enemies unite and respond, it will turn into an all-out war from then on, but a safe hit-and-run strategy can avoid extreme situations. Our goal is just one precedent. Even if we don't annihilate our enemies, it doesn't change the fact that we set a precedent."

no. That is not enough."

this plan.

I didn't want an absurd result.

Obviously, I had to show what happens when I touch Cairo.

"We must obtain a criminal record that can be described as a great victory with this attack. To do this, both sides of the attack are essential, and it is important to break up the enemy's ranks with a surprise attack. As Baron Noel said, there are risks involved. But from the moment we open the gates and step out, we have to take some risks."

And.

Roman Dmitry said firmly, looking at the leaders who looked at him.

"I will take charge of attacking the middle. As a matter of fact, there is no way for us to withstand our attacks with the power of our current enemies. The negligence of the enemies was a situation that had never happened before. I will plunge the Kronos Empire into abyss."

Everyone nodded.

If it's Roman Dmitry.

Western leaders decided it was worth following this plan.

* * *

When the sun rises in the middle of the sky.

The plan has begun.

Count Vandenberg's troops, following a shortcut, hid themselves in the bushes and waited for the advance signal.

phut.

bang bang.

A flare that explodes in the sky.

Count Vandenberg drew his sword.

"Attack the entire army!"

"Attack!"

"Wow!"

sure.

ride on

It was a surprise attack.

At the soldiers of Cairo who rushed through the bushes, the Imperial Kronos army hurriedly raised their weapons with a bewildered face.

However, they were helpless against an attack that they were not prepared for.

As soon as they collided with Cairo's soldiers, screams erupted from all sides, and Kronos' soldiers felt the touch of their flesh digging into their flesh before they could do anything.

hooked.

"Gagging."

The soldiers of the Kronos Empire opened their eyes.

He vomited blood and looked at the sword that pierced his abdomen with disbelief.

It was just the beginning.

Cairo's soldiers quickly dealt with the enemies with a numerical superiority, and if there was someone blocking the attack, two or three people stuck together and put their swords in their bodies.

It was in an instant for the living creature to become a mop.

With a sword that couldn't pierce the chains of armor, Cairo's soldier tilted the enemy's head back and decapitated them.

It was the cruelty of war.

The whole area was dyed bright red, and Count Vandenberg's forces seemed to take full control of the rear.

By the way.

"Stupid cubs. Calm down! Your opponent is Cairo! Don't fall for these guys!

Knight of the Kronos Empire.

he groaned.

An aura rose from his sword, and he slaughtered the Cairo soldiers who rushed at them with great force.

Since then, the atmosphere has changed.

The imperial army, who had lost consciousness, began to turn their backs on each other in response to the knight's cry, and calmly responded to the influx of Cairo soldiers.

gradually.

Kronos took the lead.

When a similar number of soldiers clashed, the Imperial Army killed Cairo's soldiers with overwhelming force.

Kronos and Cairo.

The soldiers showed qualitative differences.

If the soldiers of the Kronos Empire were a strong army trained in battle as much as they were aggression, the soldiers of the Cairo Kingdom were nothing more than a clown who could only fight within the walls.

It was only for a short time that he gained momentum with a surprise attack in the beginning.

When Kronos regained stability and returned to his original form, the soldiers of Cairo Kingdom did not overwhelm the enemy despite their numerical superiority.

meanwhile.

The Earl of Vandenberg showed outstanding power.

He exploded his 4-star aura and slashed his enemies quickly, but he noticed that things were going awry.

'If this continues, we are at a disadvantage.'

The momentum gradually waned.

The imperial negligence was not arrogance.

They showed by force that they were confident and worthy of defeating the Cairo Kingdom, how they formed their formation.

Count Vandenberg was impatient.

Realistically, it would be right to finish at this level and withdraw the troops, but for the purpose of the plan, we had to hold on to the end.

Roman Dmitry.

He attacked the middle.

In a situation more dangerous than yourself, it is very difficult to break through the attacks from both sides and help the rear.

However.

The sword had already been drawn, and Count Vandenberg had no intention of backing down even if the end of this battle was ruin.

"Do not back off! Show the mighty power of Cairo to the heinous Imperial Army!"

Blood-splattered battlefield.

Count Vandenberg fulfilled his duty as a commander.

* * *

that time.

Roman Dmitry led his forces and attacked the middle.

Unlike Vandenberg's struggling troops, a one-sided massacre took place in the middle.

Curly rumble.

Explosive aura.

Roman Dmitry's sword spattered with blood.

He rushed to the forefront and slashed dozens of enemies at once, and the soldiers that came after him showed overwhelming force in the first clash.

It was not simply a victory through a surprise advantage.

After exchanging the workshop several times, the Kronos Imperial Army's neck was blown away with a face stained with embarrassment.

puck.

Dmitry's soldiers.

They were as strong as the Imperial Army.

And the enlisted men who had been following Roman Dmitry for a long time showed an outstanding performance among them.

Kaang!

Kakakan!

ordinary soldier.

An unknown being raised an aura from the sword and pushed the knights of the Kronos Empire.

Opponents could only be confused.

Apparently, he was wearing a soldier's outfit, but seeing him push himself while using his aura was an unacceptable situation.

It was the power of Sura's mind method.

The followers of Roman entered the realm of Aura one by one, and now ordinary soldiers have broken down that wall.

flash.

The knight's head flew off.

Ordinary soldiers defeated the knights.

"You crazy."

"Stop it! Stop the enemies!"

Kronos Empire.

They were definitely strong.

However, Dmitry's soldiers went beyond the usual level.

It wasn't just that.

Key figures like Chris and Kevin showed overwhelming power, and they followed Roman Dmitry to quickly reduce the number of enemies.

Count Vandenberg's worries were nothing but vain.

He thought it might be dangerous to be surrounded by both sides, but Roman Dmitry's forces exceeded expectations.

overwhelmed

He slaughtered the enemies, and opened the way in an instant.

' What is this?'

in a chaotic situation.

There was an existence that showed embarrassment in a series of situations.

Rodwell Dmitry, who had slashed the enemy who was rushing like a dagger, looked around with a bewildered face.

This.

It didn't really make sense.

* * *

Cairo has a saying:

To be successful, go to the capital.

Rodwell Dmitry could understand why people say that when he first came to the capital.

It was a new world.

Unlike the chaos in the outskirts, even the guards had a system, and the aura swordsman, which was not commonly found in the outskirts, seemed unimpressive.

People were right.

Rodwell Dmitry was called a genius at the well, but to be truly successful, he had to stand out in the capital.

That is.

It was the last memory of Dmitry.

At the level of the capital, beings who could not even follow their toes, now showed a shocking sight in front of their eyes.

Whoops!

"Great."

Dmitry's soldier.

A soldier with a really ordinary face pushed the Kronos Imperial Army and thrust a sword into the opponent's heart.

The soldiers of the Empire are famous for their strong military.

According to Rodwell Dmitry's memory, it was normal that he would never be able to deal with Dmitry's level, but several Imperial troops had trouble with one soldier.

The soldier is not particularly special.

The soldiers who wore Dmitry's attire were not pushed by the Imperial Army.

Not only that.

Kris.

was in memory.

The being called Dmitry's genius before leaving for the capital became a monster beyond common sense within a few years.

Glitter!

poof.

Chris spilled blood.

Even if the knights of the Kronos Empire raised their auras and rushed in, they were no match for them, and he slaughtered the enemies while looking for them.

There was a memory gap.

Ordinary-faced soldiers, or Krisna of the Dmitry Knights.

It was very different from what Rodwell Dmitry remembered.

Since he himself was also a member of Dmitry, he could not understand the situation confirmed by his eyes with common sense.

And.

The one that stood out the most was Roman Dmitry.

The force that was overwhelming, even if it was amazing, proved how he had won the title of Cairo's number one sword.

"You are my brother. If you follow me to the battlefield, I will show you what it means to live as a member of the Dmitry family. Roman Dmitry's brother Rodwell Dmitry lost one eye. The Empire of Kronos will have to sacrifice many lives."

Roman's words.

lingered in my mind.

I didn't know what that meant then, but I think I know now.

Dmitry family.

completely different

The family, whose name was only known from the outskirts, was metamorphosed due to Roman Dmitry.

I couldn't understand how this was possible.

What was certain was what was right in front of him, and while he was on the Western Front, Dmitry faced many changes.

My head was complicated.

this situation.

I didn't know how to take it.

Rodwell Dmitry came to the battlefield to protect his eyes with an eye patch, but there was no role that needed him.

That was then.

Kris!

Yes!

far away

The Kronos Imperial Army was rushing in.

The fact that they had been attacked by surprise, all the soldiers moving in the lead flocked to the vicinity of the middle.

Roman said as he slashed the enemies that were rushing at him.

"From now on, I will divide the army into two as planned. You must immediately lead your troops and go to the rear. While I help Count Vandenberg attack the rear, I will block the Kronos Imperial Army coming this way."

It was a reckless operation.

Rodwell Dmitry wanted to end their conversation.

However.

Those who give orders and those who take orders.

He made a risky choice carelessly.

Okay. Article 2, follow me from now on!"

Chris left.

after that.

Roman stayed.

And when the enemies come.

Quiet rumble rumble.

Roman exploded his aura, and threw himself at the endless stream of enemies.
