Second Continental War (12)

that time.

Mystic got bad news from the skirmishers.

"Dmitry's army has sent a pursuit. Judging from the fact that they moved before the walls were repaired, it appears that they intend to defeat us first rather than prepare for the next attack. Mystic. If we face the enemies like this, we cannot avoid annihilation."

" damn it."

Mystic distorted his expression.

It was unexpected.

Ares insisted that Dmitry would definitely send a pursuit, but Mystic thought otherwise.

Dmitry was victorious by taking advantage of the city's advantage.

An all-out war with the Kronos Empire would be burdensome in a space where all sides were not protected, and I did not think that Dmitry would dare to open the gate without Roman Dmitry.

Maybe he tried to deny it.

The successive defeats by Dmitry properly touched Mystic's pride.

'I cannot properly use space movement magic with the power I have now. If you forcefully raise your strength, your limbs will be torn apart in the dimensional gap. Even if I was alone, I could have saved my life, but once again, the moment I report such a result, Alexander-sama will kill me.'

lately.

Alexander's planting was very uncomfortable.

Although he appeared to be maintaining his composure on the surface, Mystic was not unaware that he was quite angry with the variables created by Roman Dmitry.

I needed a criminal record. Clear evidence that you are useful.

In order to regain strength and counterattack, even the remnants who followed him had to survive.

map.

Yes?

"Give me a map!"

"Oh, I see."

????????????????????????

The map was spread out on a simple table.

the northeast area.

There was no room to escape.

Being on the outskirts meant that there weren't that many paths to move on, and there was only one way because the pursuit team was approaching from Dmitry's direction.

moving as far south as possible.

Once you have gained enough time to recover enough mana, you can turn the situation around by calling in additional troops through 'space movement magic'.

'Yes, the war is not over yet.'

Rather, it was an opportunity.

The Kronos Empire was only defeated by Mercury's advantage, and if it had been encountered in an open space from the beginning, it would have definitely overtaken Dmitry.

So, from now on, it was a battle of time.

Depending on how long it takes and how much time you lure your opponent, you can achieve the result of defeating Dmitry's pursuit at once.

blast furnace.

took the map.

Mystic exclaimed.

"Everyone, pack your bags. From now on we will move south."

all right.

Dmitry.

They turned into Roman Dmitry-like temperament. Showing their ferocious teeth as if they were predators, they were menacing enough.

However, it will clearly show them that even the same predators have classes. Why was Dmitry able to jump?

Not because they are strong, but because the power of one Roman Dmitry is beyond common sense.

moved a step

rushed

It was an unfamiliar march for Mystic, but now there was no other way.

But how far would you go?

step by step.

"This is the opposite direction of Dmitry. Could it be that the Kronos Empire, which is called a great country, is running away with its tail rolling?"

south exit.

There Chris and Dmitry's soldiers were standing in the way.

* * *

Mystic's expression hardened.

Kris.

He already appeared in Dmitry.

It was faster than expected.

And blocking the southern escape route meant that he had already seen his intentions and occupied the road.

'The retreat .'

there was no

Dmitry's men were already surrounded, and flares in the sky were calling in additional troops.

With the power of Mystic, only he could escape by moving through space.

Mystic would normally do that, but as soon as he saw Chris, a plan came to his mind.

'Chris is a key figure in Dmitry. Even if we lost the war, if we kill that guy, we can be recognized for our achievements.'

immediate situation.

Silence did not mean peace.

The situation in which each of them held their arms and looked at each other was not strange, no matter when a fierce battle took place.

That was then.

It was Mystic who broke the silence.

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

fault.

one step back

As if waiting, the soldiers of the Kronos Empire rushed at the situation, and Mystic fluttered the hem of his robe to generate magical power.

"Thunder Storm."

don't fall

Quiet rumble rumble.

A flash of lightning occurred.

As if blinding, the intense light swept the surroundings with the powerful force that accompanied the storm.

Dmitry's wizards did not stand still.

They also tried to block Mystic's attack by using defensive magic quickly, but the destructive power of 7th circle magic exceeded the normal standard.

flash.

Quiet rumble rumble.

"Great!"

"Ahhhhh!"

Dmitry's soldiers were swept away.

Mystic, who had dealt with dozens of soldiers in an instant, swung her arms to control the direction of the Thunder Storm.

One goal.

it was chris

However, he may not come forward if he reveals his intentions, so Mystic massacred as much as possible to force him to do so.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Kronos army attacked Dmitry's soldiers.

Contrary to the momentum of rushing, Dmitry's soldiers overwhelm the Imperial Army in hand-to-hand combat.

Kaang!

die.

hooked.

The imperial attack did not work.

Dmitry's soldiers showed skills that exceeded those of ordinary soldiers through their training, and they calmly countered the attack even as their comrades were being swept away by magic.

The reason Dmitry was pushed back against Kronos was not because of qualitative differences.

It was because they were outnumbered, and in the current situation where the number of the Imperial Army was reduced, only a little more could not deal with Dmitry's soldiers.

finally.

It was a battle between Mystic and Chris.

In the intense flash of lightning, I saw Chris rushing in.

Papa Papa.

blood splashed

The Imperial Army facing Chris was slaughtered in the blink of an eye.

Normal soldiers and aura swordsmen had their necks blown away, and Chris' eyes were fixed on Mystic.

last 3 days.

Chris suppressed his anger.

Unlike Kevin, who went crazy looking for Ares as soon as he arrived at Dmitry, Chris chose the best for Dmitry as rationally as possible.

That was to lead the pursuit.

He knew that if the Kronos Empire army was defeated, he could lead the future situation.

"Lightning Rain."

Kwareung.

Quiet rumble.

Mystic exploded magic.

Lights rose from the darkened sky, and powerful lightning struck wherever Chris moved.

It was a sight that made a single human insignificant.

The magic was truly a natural disaster, and Chris was out of sight for a moment due to the continuous lightning strikes.

'Did he die?'

Moment.

he thought uncomfortably.

Chris is not a monster like Roman Dmitry.

Even against Ares, he thought that if he was on his knees, he would not be able to survive the magical storm.

But then.

sudden.

Quiet rumble.

through lightning.

Chris came out.

Mystic opened her eyes.

In an unbelievable situation, he tried to use 'Blink' by generating magical power.

That moment.

flash.

'One island (一閃).'

A solid line on the neck.

Mystic's eyes fluttered at the twisted vision.

* * *

It was truly a triumph.

The imperial army was completely annihilated.

People were delighted with the great criminal record, but they were shocked at the powerlessness of Chris who had witnessed it in the meantime.

Kris.

He alone slaughtered thousands of soldiers.

No one was able to stop the swordsmanship that was so fast that they couldn't even check it properly, and the scene dealing with Mystic in particular left everyone astonished.

Chris' swordsmanship was fast enough to cut through Blink.

People knew that Chris was strong, but they never thought that he would be this strong.

actually.

The reason why Chris was able to defeat Mystic at once was related to the training Dmitry had been conducting.

New world.

Roman Dmitry acknowledged magic.

Initiating a magic revolution called the opening of the upper-level battles, he has been constantly training how to deal with wizards.

magic explosion.

How to respond to situations that stimulate the senses, and what are the loopholes in magic.

Through constant training, Dmitry's swordsmen and wizards complemented each other's weaknesses.

The wizards have become so adept that they would not allow the swordsman to approach in the usual way, and the swordsmen have just learned how to attack their opponents in an explosion of magic, as Chris just showed.

Roman Dmitry was the nemesis of the wizard.

And of course.

The swordsmen who were taught by him also grew into the types of beings that wizards really dislike.

Park.

He wiped the blood off his sword.

Chris just did his best.

He handled Mystic more easily than expected due to his strength in using a quick sword, but that was not a very satisfactory result for Chris.

If only I had been stronger Mystic could have been captured alive.

However, knowing how the battlefield would change if Blink was allowed, he risked his life and beheaded him.

Mystic was scattered with smoke.

Having served the purpose of destroying the Imperial Army, Chris gave orders to the soldiers.

"Clear the battlefield quickly. As soon as we finish Dmitry's repairs, we will head to Cairo's Western Front.

all right.

"And Volcan."

Yes.

Volcan stepped forward.

Drenched in blood from the battle, he exhaled heavily and looked at Chris.

"Kevin is walking around looking for Ares. If you really do face Ares, even Kevin won't be able to save his life, so send your troops to help Kevin.

"Even so, I was worried."

Volcan nodded.

Ares.

It was a dangerous creature.

If he had joined forces with Mystic, the battle would not have ended so easily.

Early moning.

Chris and the soldiers tried to stop Kevin from going to find Ares.

It was a decision he made because he knew how dangerous Ares was, but Kevin's eyes had gone dry.

Even though Dmitry was victorious, corpses were everywhere.

If Ares had not betrayed him, there would have been no damage of this magnitude.

'It's not that I don't understand how you feel, but Kevin's power alone will never be able to handle Ares.'

it was certain

Volcan gathered his forces.

Once he found Kevin's location, Chris was also thinking of sorting things out and helping him.

That was then.

Kevin?!

stand tall.

stopped walking.

I heard someone screaming in surprise.

Chris looked in the direction of the sound.

Moment.

Chris' eyes widened.

" replace you."

It was really Kevin.

And to his astonishment, Ares, who had been caught in his hand, was being dragged along with a bloody face.

that afternoon.

Umberto's situation was the worst.

After the capture of the front-line defensive positions, they convened an emergency meeting in the midst of a continuous losing streak.

said one of the leaders.

"If this is the case, there is no hope. Although Frank and Redford sent reinforcements, that alone could not stop Kronos from advancing. I need a way, I need a way! With Dmitry, Cairo and Hector all under attack, Humberto doesn't have much time to hold on."

Umberto.

They were not far from the border and the capital.

It was in a state of fire on the instep of his foot, so he had to fight in the forefront defensive position somehow.

It was hopeless.

Some even regretted their alliance with Dmitry.

"We have done something beyond our control. Kronos is a great country. Their strength was not the only thing they could see, and if they attacked like this at the same time, even Roman Dmitry could not afford to take care of other countries. How do I do this? Even if they wait for the support of the Kingdom Confederacy, even a glimmer of hope is lost if they are defeated. And honestly... Isn't it difficult for Cairo and Dmitry to block Kronos' attack?"

It was cumbersome.

Cairo, Dmitry, Hector.

The three kingdoms were attacked.

They formed a kingdom confederation for their support, but nowhere was the situation hopeful.

Calderon Drake said.

"It's something you shouldn't think about. Following Dmitry was Umberto's only hope. Seeing how the kingdom of Odelia was destroyed, it was impossible to follow the empire in the first place."

"I'm just saying this because I'm frustrated, because I'm frustrated!"

All of them.

I found out the truth.

Roman Dmitry opened the breath of the Kingdom Union, but he was sad because he was his only hope.

That was then.

In the meeting room where opinions were divided for a long time, completely unexpected news arrived.

"It's a win-win! Dmitry has completely defeated the Imperial Kronos army this morning!"

what!?

Moment.

Everyone was astonished.

Dmitry heard that hundreds of thousands of imperial troops were attacking, and even 7th circle wizards were involved in the attack.

Without Roman Dmitry, it was an unfavorable war.

So I thought that it might collapse after a few days, but I didn't expect to hear that they had defeated the Imperial Army so quickly.

Things have changed.

The chief, who had only uttered hopeless words, said.

"After all, Dmitry! They deserve to be heads of the Kingdom Confederacy! That would be a different story. If Dmitry sends reinforcements, we will be able to extinguish the fire on our feet immediately."

"Won't that be difficult? For Dmitry, the top priority is to solve the border problems of Cairo and Hector. Especially if Hector is defeated by Valhalla, Dmitry must prepare for an all-out war against Valhalla."

" this.

His complexion turned pale.

It was a mountain over a mountain.

two empires.

The union of the two great mountain ranges took my breath away the more I thought about it.

But absurdly.

They heard more incredible and truly shocking reports than the news of Dmitry's victory.

Just now. Hector has won his first battle against Valhalla! The war is not over yet. The Kingdom unity will not fall apart like this!"

Hector's victory.

It was an absurd result.

Umberto's leaders could not understand what was going on in the Salamander Continent with common sense.
