chicken game (5)

Moment.

Emperor Valhalla burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, that's great! That's great!"

Contact from Count Santino.

That was just a few hours ago.

However, at the sight of ruining Santino in such a short time, Emperor Valhalla truly admired it.

"Roman Dmitry. You are the first type of person I have ever experienced in my life. In the meantime, there have been many guys who have shown hostility towards Valhalla, but none of them have been able to prove it as a result. admit it You are perhaps a better fit for Valhalla than my lesser brethren, who died doing nothing."

I couldn't hide my laughter.

The languid eyes gleamed as if they had caught an interesting prey.

[Looks like this is funny.]

"It's fun, it's very fun. You must have been thinking like this. Luenos, Portbell, Santino. If these three places are cleared up quickly, Valhalla will withdraw troops from the situation where Javier with the warp gate is threatened. In fact, your plan is so futile. It was thought impossible to bring down Santino before Hernard fell, but you made the nonsense a reality."

beyond the screen.

Roman Dmitry took the corpse as a chair and looked at the Emperor Valhalla.

In his arrogance of telling him to the end, Emperor Valhalla could not stand the seething desire.

by the way. There is something you are greatly mistaken about. The thought that Valhalla would never give up the Warp Gate. No, to be precise, I think we'll stick to the orthodox method in this crazy game where we run towards each other. Roman Dmitry. I sincerely acknowledge you. Unlike the old-fashioned bastards who describe themselves as warriors, you know how to win wars as a predator. That is why I have no choice but to do my best to defeat you."

Shh.

He pushed his face closer to the screen.

The flashing madness fluctuated as if it was coming out of her eyes.

"Javier's warp gate has already been destroyed. Even if you take Javier, that means you can't use the warp gate to threaten us. Now, what are you going to do? Now that we've given up on the Warp Gate at great losses, what can Dmitry do before Hernard falls? Please don't say romantic words about using Valhalla's public sentiment to turn the situation around. I've already killed all the guys who talked like that.

Heck, he laughed.

It was fun.

Emperor Valhalla did not study tactics separately.

However, he was born into the imperial family and knew how to use his overwhelming position in the Valhalla Empire.

Valhalla has always been in the position of the strong.

It was enough to choose options that the weak opponent would not want, rather than a clever strategy for victory.

Dmitry.

What they wanted was clear.

counterattack of the rebels.

In order for them to take control of the situation, Dmitry daringly pushed in and drew the attention of the Valhalla imperial family.

To avoid concentrating troops on Hernard.

It was normal for Valhalla to follow Dmitry's intentions to reduce damage, but Emperor Valhalla focused on the essential problem.

Whether Dmitry runs rampant or not.

attacked Hernard.

All those who cried out to the public were killed, and the Warp Gate was destroyed to prevent it from reaching the Valhalla Imperial Family.

if so.

Even if there was damage, all of Dmitry's options were blocked.

In a game of chickens running towards each other.

Emperor Valhalla slammed into his opponent.

"Roman Dmitry. On the day Dmitry falls, I will visit Dmitry and see your face. regretting the choices of the past. What the hell kind of face is Dmitry's demon stained with defeat and despair. I am really looking forward to that day."

* * *

It was a one-way conversation.

Communication is cut off.

The Emperor Valhalla did not want a reply, as if he would listen to Roman Dmitry's answer as a result.

two days later.

Allied forces reached Javier.

The Warp Point of Valhalla was not far away, and the gates that would have been tightly closed just a few days ago were wide open as if welcoming Roman Dmitry.

It was bloodless. Upon entering, Chris was busily moving and grasping the surroundings.

yet.

Chris reported the situation with a stiff face.

"As the Emperor Valhalla said. The Warp Gate has been completely destroyed beyond repair, and it appears that Javier's forces have already withdrawn. Once it has been confirmed that there are no traps such as magic bombs."

Destruction of the warp gate.

It was a bold decision.

The warp gate, which is evaluated as a product of magical culture, requires enormous manpower and resources to install just one.

The warp gate that Edwin Hector had installed for war in the past was only a minor one.

However, the warp gate here in Javier was a top-class warp gate that could move hundreds of thousands of troops at a time, and the meaning of destroying it was directly linked to an astronomical loss.

Not only that.

If it is completely destroyed, it will take a long time to recover.

And by destroying the few warp gates in the north, the Valhalla Empire made a bold decision, knowing that it would cause problems with mobility.

It was such an outrageous decision.

It was far from common sense to push Dmitry into a corner, even giving up Javier, with Hernard's occupation on the brink.

Emperor Valhalla.

His tendencies were revealed.

There must have been other options, but he took the extreme case of a cat playing with a mouse.

The reason was simple.

This method was more appealing.

Seeing Dmitry pushing in as if he was not going to back down, he instead pulled out a red cloth like a matador and went to the front.

If you want to do it, do it. He showed a willingness to confront what was hit head-on.

said Chris.

" There doesn't seem to be any way to help Hernard. There are two more warp points in the north, with the exception of Javier, but while moving there, Hernard is bound to collapse. Rather, it may block our way out if we take time. Master, you must defeat ten thousand troops."

took a step back

Chris thought there was no need to overdo it.

By the way.

"It's fun."

Roman Dmitry, on the contrary, smiled at the situation in front of him.

Day ten, Hernard.

The magic defense repaired overnight was meaningless.

In the baptism of flares that lit up the sky, the blue shield shattered like glass shattered.

Clink!

Quiet rumble rumble.

"Advance!"

"Today will wipe out the rebels!"

It was the beginning of hell.

snugly.

Once again, the ladder hung on the wall.

At first, the rebels actively opposed them by spraying them with something like boiling oil, but now, due to the depletion of supplies, there was nothing they could do but stick their weapons in.

The arrow has already run out.

In an instant, the castle walls were filled with the emperor's soldiers, and the rebels clenched their teeth.

die!

hooked.

I pushed the window hard.

He succeeded in killing the emperor's army in a surprise attack, but he could not survive the attacks coming from all directions.

I was hacked to pieces in an instant.

On the fortress wall, in the sight of the rebels, who somehow filled the qualitative difference with their numerical superiority, now there were more enemies than allies.

"How dare these guys!"

Kwareung.

Quiet rumble rumble.

above the wall.

Duke Vieto ran wild.

He, already drenched in blood, rushed towards the Imperial Army and slaughtered them.

"Just stopping the Duke of Vieto Great!"

Ahh!

Screams erupted from all sides.

At the halberd wielding with a creepy sound, several emperors were cut in half at once.

As if that alone could not be satisfied, Duke Vieto swung his halberd several times.

He splattered the blood of his enemies as he cut, cut, and cut again, but no matter how much he killed, the appearance of the Imperial Army in front of his eyes did not diminish.

' Today is the last day.'

ten days.

The sixth day after the full-scale hand-to-hand combat begins.

The limit has been reached.

In fact, it has been a miracle that it has survived so far.

There were difficulties a few days ago due to the overwhelming difference in power, but the people of the rebels risked their lives to somehow persevere.

And the common people of Hernard also assisted the rebels.

They risked their lives together carrying supplies or using crude farm equipment, but they could not survive for a long time with such power.

finally.

Most of them died.

With less than 50,000 troops left, the Duke of Vieto admitted that he could not stand it any longer.

'Valhalla. How far did you fall?'

a few days ago.

I heard from Marin.

The people of Valhalla finally answered the call of the rebels, and the Emperor Valhalla showed an extraordinary response by killing them all.

It was a frustrating situation.

I knew that the Emperor Valhalla was a cruel person, but I didn't know that he would deny the public sentiment in the face of it.

Overwhelming fear forcibly engulfed the public sentiment that was about to rise.

Apparently, he thought that the flames of public opinion had the power to turn the situation around, but Emperor Valhalla calmed the situation with a government of terror beyond him.

And.

Dmitry's situation was not good either.

Hearing that Javier's Warp Gate was destroyed, even a glimmer of hope disappeared.

'Emperor Valhalla. How cruel.'

rebel.

They were pushed to the edge of a cliff.

Roman Dmitry made a great move that had to be acknowledged, but the judgment of Emperor Valhalla, which destroys common sense, did not allow the slightest reversal.

I had no regrets about dying.

However, it was disappointing that Valhalla had no room for change in the future, and I felt sorry for Roman Dmitry, who had to bear the responsibility for the defeat.

Kwajik!

The Royal Knight's head was blown off.

Trampling their corpses, Duke Vieto let out a rough breath.

OK! Come on! Even if I die here, I will not turn my back on you!"

he intuited

The afternoon of the tenth day.

At the end of today, he will end his tumultuous life.

distance from the wall.

Looking at the walls of Hernard that had turned into hell, Count Gomes looked tired.

"Tough guy."

ten days.

It took longer than expected.

According to the initial strategy, it was thought that Hernard would be defeated in seven or eight days, but the resistance of the rebels was very fierce.

Moreover, the people who joined the rebels were a problem.

They weren't a great power, but even if they killed or killed, Hernard could not be defeated at once due to the increasing number.

slowly.

gnawed at the opponent.

And now, the end of the damn civil war was finally in sight.

'Once the rebels are over, Roman Dmitry will have no more choice. By the way, the Duke of Vieto is a very incomprehensible person. When His Majesty the Emperor Valhalla ascended to the throne, if he had jumped on the flow of power, he would have lived happily ever after. Ttttttt, why did you have to kill yourself with this choice?'

it was stupid

Thanks to the resignation of the Duke of Vieto, new faces were able to seize power in Valhalla.

within three or four hours at the earliest.

It seemed to destroy Hernard.

Count Gomes, who watched the situation with a relaxed face, noticed that the light was coming on from the magic communicator.

red light.

It was urgent.

For a moment, I received the communication with a stiff face.

beep.

"What are you doing?"

[Count Gomes. Recover some of your troops right now.]

beyond the communicator.

The voice of Marquis Belfir was heard.

Count Gomes frowned and said in a nonsensical tone.

"What do you mean by that? The high is now in front of you. If we push a little further, we can capture Hernard, but we can't defeat our forces now. If that happens, the rebels might come back to life... ."

[Hey, you bastard! Hear me straight.]

suddenly shouted

The Marquis of Belfir expressed his anger so much that he could feel his emotions through the communicator.

[This is an order from His Majesty the Emperor. If you don't want to be dragged to the gallows and hung on the gallows, call back the troops now!]

troop order.

Count Gomes looked down at the magic communicator with a bewildered face.
