Second Continental War (13)

The time when the sun rose in the middle of the sky.

As Umberto was making a fuss, the commander of Valhalla looked at Hector's camp and said:

"Silly bastards. How dare you think of stopping Valhalla."

Just now.

Valhalla urged surrender.

The content was that if he would open the road to Dmitry, he would recognize Hector's merits and accept him as a vassal state.

It was an unconditional better condition than the collapse of the country.

But Hector sent a radical reply, cutting off the messenger's head, and Valhalla's commander vented his anger.

A meeting was called immediately.

At the meeting of the leaders, the commander of Valhalla spoke with a strong voice.

"Our operation is simple. They will immediately advance to Hector's border, capture the front-line defensive positions, and secure the warp gate. If we secure a warp gate that connects to the Dmitry border, we can significantly reduce the time to travel to Dmitry. And destroying Dmitry as planned is our goal through this war."

"I will obey your orders."

"I will obey your orders."

Operation of Valhalla.

it was so lame

Even though it was meant to just advance and destroy it, the leaders of Valhalla did not express any doubts.

Only one.

A senior with a lot of experience in war had the courage to say it.

"If Hector was prepared for war, there must be some belief. Why not take the situation a little more carefully and figure out the best way to bring down Hector?"

"Ttttttt, that is a judgment that did not think about what is important now."

The commander distorted his expression.

The opponent is Hector.

Not Kronos, but Hector, a small country.

The commander of Valhalla was also excellent at estimating the difference in power through numerous wars.

"Hector is a weak country that was defeated in the war with Cairo in the past, and its national power is very weak due to severe poor crops. Recently, with the help of Dmitry, the country's situation has been restored, but it is not enough that they can withstand an all-out war against Valhalla. Above all else, the Valhalla imperial court issued an order to achieve results within ten days. If the best tactics are to isolate the enemy and torment them to death, we may be able to defeat Hector, but ultimately our goal will fail."

In this war, speedy action was important.

Roman Dmitry.

Now that he is stuck in Valhalla, he had to do as much damage as possible.

The war started then.

When Roman Dmitry returned and reclaimed his army, it was necessary to unconditionally seize the current opportunity to win against him.

So I didn't listen to the chief's words.

The people who currently occupy the power of Valhalla were the patriots who followed Kronos rather than the comfort of Valhalla.

Opinion was trampled on.

Seeing the leadership bowing down, the commander of Valhalla raised his voice.

"An hour from now. We will advance to Hector's borders, and trample on Hector who dares to stand in the way of Valhalla!

North Jin.

A huge shadow fell on Hector.

* * *

Valhalla's attack.

Reported directly to Hector.

Seeing the soldiers trembling and showing signs of anxiety, Edwin Hector went out in full gear.

"Listen, Hector's people."

raised mana.

At the heavy voice that overwhelmed the crowd, the people raised their heads and looked at Edwin Hector.

"Valhalla is advancing to bring down Hector. They threatened to crush Hector if they didn't give us a way to attack Dmitry. I will ask you last few years. What country helped us when Hector was dying of poor crops?"

"This is Dmitry."

"Yes, Dmitry. Dmitry helped us. But what if we forsake Dmitry's grace to protect our own country? If we survive so meanly and fall into the vassal state of Valhalla, then who on earth will show our faith in us? Valhalla and Kronos were one from the start. And by turning Odelia into a sea of fire, Cronus expressed his will not to allow any country to become independent except himself. I don't want to live like a dog. I do not want to succumb to such a miserable life of picking up what is thrown away like a human heart and supporting the empire like a slave."

A lot of people's faces were remembered.

He stressed that there was no compromise.

cliff edge.

Hector's fate depended on this war.

Instead of being swayed by the opponent's conciliation, he said that he would exist as Hector even if he fell to the bottom of the cliff.

"From now on, Hector will live as Hector. In order for us to secure our rights, we must neither surrender to the Empire nor shift the blame for the war on Dmitry. Let's show our strength. What kind of country Hector is, and how powerful Hector's potential, once called a great power!"

"Let me show you!"

"Let's kill all the dog-like Valhalla!"

sympathized with the emotions.

Hector's Star.

The fact that the hero Hector was proud of was the heir to the royal family was accepted by the people as an irresistible decree.

"For Hector!"

"For Hector!"

"For Hector!"

simmered

Let the atmosphere grow.

palak.

Edwin Hector waving his cloak and moved to a position to directly engage in battle.

"All to location!"

* * *

A battle was imminent.

Looking at Valhalla's army from above the wall, Butler asked in a cautious voice.

" Do you think you have a chance?"

Hector and Valhalla.

The difference in power was significant.

Common sense, it was a battle that could not be won no matter how hard you tried.

Edwin Hector said.

"There is no chance of winning."

"Are you still going to fight to the end?"

"If the war is prolonged, we will inevitably lose. But the first one or two fights are a different story."

" what it is."

this war.

Edwin Hector focused on the essentials.

"The reason Valhalla is rushing is to make the most of Roman Dmitry's absence. The goal is not to destroy Hector, but to advance to Dmitry beyond us, and they will be willing to risk as much as they hurry. If it was Valhalla a year ago, even such a daring advance would not be able to stop it. But it is not the current Valhalla. The civil war was heartbreaking, and he lost numerous troops in the conflict with Roman Dmitry. And some troops are facing Roman Dmitry in the South. It is true that the opponent is the Empire, but the current power is not commensurate with the reputation of the Empire."

"It is true that they are stronger than us though."

To agree. That's why the first battle where you can take advantage of the pride of your enemies is important."

even then

The situation of the Kingdom Union was hopeless.

At a point where Dmitry's victories had not been delivered, Edwin Hector himself wanted to make a reversal.

"Butler, do you remember the battle on the Southern Front?"

" Naturally. I am following Dmitry now, but I will never forget what happened back then."

"At that time, why did I lose to Cairo even after taking the lead? It was because of our pride that we had an advantage. Having secured the warp gate at the rear, I was convinced that there would be no problem if only the variable named Roman Dmitry was blocked. Opponents are only a few. So we pushed our troops into the mountains, and we met with the worst result of losing a lot of soldiers to the monstrous force that went beyond common sense."

memories of that time.

It was embarrassing.

But Edwin Hector did not ignore his mistakes.

Reflecting on my own mistakes, I learned not to repeat them again.

"Valhalla is making the same mistake I was back then. The thought that Hector is nothing, the thought that power is clearly superior. They are pushing their troops more easily than me. In the current situation, if I can give them a powerful shot that exceeds their expectations, I can defeat Valhalla once, just as I faced a devastating defeat at that time. And that one room will be the starting point of the reversal."

gulp.

Butler swallowed dry saliva.

Hector's successor.

When the hell did he grow up like this?

The more he stayed by his side, the more Butler's loyalty to Edwin Hector grew.

all right. If Prince Edwin orders it, I will jump into the pit of fire with you."

nodded.

will follow

It didn't matter if the answer was correct.

Butler felt genuinely grateful that Edwin Hector was the leader of this country.

That was then.

"Attack!"

"Wow!"

far away

I could see the Valhalla Imperial Army rushing in.

At Edwin Hector's signal, Hector's Kingdom Army prepared for battle, and the magic defenses the Imperial Army fired were protected by a magic defense.

It was a battle for the fate of the country.

The soldiers seemed impatient, but Edwin Hector waited calmly for the enemy to push in enough.

'As expected.'

enemies.

I didn't check the battlefield thoroughly.

Now, a barrel of oil is hidden under their feet, but they have made the choice to rush.

Enemies filled the field of vision.

That moment.

"Attack!"

Edwin Hector gave a thunderbolt command.

At the same time as Hector's soldiers fired arrows, Edwin Hector opened a top battle and exploded his magic.

evil.

The lord of the heavens.

Absorbing him, he reached the level of the 7th circle.

That's simply.

It was not a power that could only be expressed in numbers.

The wizard, who showed more power even when he was in the 5th circle, solved the problem of years that was said to be his only weakness.

It woke up like an explosion of mana.

Through his research in the upper stage, he made a lot of progress, especially in double casting in high circles, which was considered impossible.

"Burning."

Hwareuk.

gurgling rumbling.

body was on fire.

Immediately after accepting Phoenix's secret.

Earth Quake, Fire Storm.

Curly rumble.

Hurricane, snarl, rumble.

7 circle magic was used at the same time.

Earthquake's power caused the ground to sink and an earthquake occurred, and a firestorm swept away the soldiers of Valhalla, who were limited in movement.

At the same time, the oil caused a violent explosion. The magic of the Valhalla wizards did not work. Edwin Hector's eyes turned blue.

Whenever his red hair fluttered in magic, he split his consciousness into several pieces to block the enemy's magic and counterattack.

The words of the Master of the Heavens.

Edwin Hector's talent was real.

It is truly.

It was a variable and a disaster that Valhalla did not expect.

that day.

Valhalla suffered massive damage.

Unable to capture the wall, he ordered a retreat, which was Hector's first victory delivered to Umberto.

* * *

About a week had passed since the war broke out.

Kronos Empire.

The commander, Count Solaire, who was tasked with attacking Umberto, looked at the situation in front of him with a calm face.

"Kill!"

"Sweep out all the Umberto guys!"

Umberto.

They were cornered.

After the forefront defensive positions collapsed, they fled with their tails curled up in a final decisive battle in front of the capital.

Their capital was not well suited to Mercury.

So the gates were locked at a midpoint called Cheolongseong (鐵甕城), and Count Solaire immediately ordered to attack them.

'There is no time.'

last week.

Contrary to expectations, bad news came one after another.

The Valhalla Empire said that it could not hold on to Roman Dmitry for long, with the shocking result that the armies that attacked Dmitry and Hector were defeated, respectively.

Of course, the aspect of the war was still favorable.

The unit that attacked Dmitry was annihilated, but the battle between Valhalla and Hector was still ongoing, and in the case of Cairo and the Southern Three Kingdoms, the powerful attack of the Kronos Empire faced a crisis of fire.

It was obviously advantageous.

However.

I didn't know what would happen if Roman Dmitry returned.

Now that Valhalla was still holding onto his ankle, he wanted to wipe out Umberto somehow.

Count Solaire shouted.

"The opponents are only Umberto's wrestlers. Wipe it out at once! If even this battle is won, in the next few days we will be able to plant a flag in Umberto's capital and enjoy a frenzied party! Then I will grant you all the rights as winners, such as plunder!"

"Wow!"

"Attack!"

gained momentum

The capture was imminent.

That was then.

"Commander. We have received a magical communication request from Valhalla."

"We are at war now. When things are all over... ."

"It's an emergency."

stopped talking.

Urgent means that it must be received unconditionally.

In a moment of ominous feeling, Count Solaire accepted the magic communicator.

"This is Count Solaire. What is it that you urgently requested a magical communication for?"

* * *

beyond the communicator.

Earl Snowdin's trembling voice was heard.

[Roman Dmitry's journey has been missed.]

I beg your pardon?!

I was startled.

It's only been a week now.

But you're already missing out on Roman Dmitry.

This was different from the first plan.

[For us, even ten mouths have nothing to say. What is certain is that Roman Dmitry has completely pierced the siege, and given his unusual speed of movement, there is no guarantee where he will be. I have already contacted other units, but Count Solaire may not know about it, so be careful.]

"Damn it."

Tickle.

with it.

Communication was over.

There was less time than I thought.

When the thought of ending the war quickly grew stronger, Count Solaire suddenly had a strange thought.

' for a moment.'

Umberto.

They kept pushing back.

They cut off their tails with the intention of making the most of their time, but no matter how strong they were, they suddenly appeared to choose a desperate fight.

At first, I thought it was a last resort.

Rather than fighting in a capital with poor defense facilities, there is a greater chance of winning before that.

But if.

really if.

What if their courage came from a single existence, not from being rushed to the edge of a cliff?

That was then.

"Great!"

rear of the ranks.

A place where screams should not be heard, suddenly the screams of the soldiers were heard.

Moment.

Count Solaire quickly turned his head to confirm the place where the scream was heard.
