only one presence (3)

It was an embarrassing answer.

Neither Cairo's Western Front nor Hector's Southern Front, but directly attacking the territory of the Kronos Empire.

It was dangerous.

Calderon Drake expressed concern about the unacceptable operation.

" The operation you just described is problematic in many ways. First of all, directly attacking Kronos' territory with Umberto's 100,000 troops would be suicidal, and there is no guarantee that Cairo and Hector's problems will be solved even if such an attack is made. There is a saying in the strategy that attack is the best defense, but even if our attack is blocked, the situation will be irreversibly catastrophic."

Yes. I agree that this operation is dangerous."

changed posture.

Roman Dmitry reclined in a chair and captured the situation unfolding on a wide map at a glance.

"As I said before, this war is a matter of priorities. If successive problems are not dealt with in an orderly manner, even a single deviation will endanger the entire Kingdom unity. Cairo and Hector. There is no way to solve problems on both maps at the same time. So, rather than focusing on one, I chose to affect both maps."

"Tell me more."

"Once the Franks and Redford kingdoms choose a fortress against the rioters in the lawless zone, they have a relatively free force. I will send them to Hector. If you fight against Valhalla along with Hector's magical power, you can withstand Valhalla's weakened attack to some extent.

moved the word

The horses that symbolize Frank and Redford are located in Hector's territory and are in a position to welcome Valhalla.

"The problem is Cairo. There is also a direct intervention on the Western Front to buy time against Valhalla, but that's what the enemies expect too. They are more likely to lead to a long game. If Hector falls on Valhalla, and forces from the Lawless Zone create a situation where the Frankish borders are destroyed. A war raging across the continent is sure to slowly suffocate the kingdom's unity. But what do you think would happen if we hit the territory of Kronos directly? The Kronos Imperial Army that attacked the West will become impatient with their own situation, and the Valhalla Empire will also feel uneasy about the unexpected development."

"What will happen if Valhalla pushes forward? After all, Valhalla is not being attacked."

Moment.

Roman Dmitry smiled.

"It cannot be. The subject of this war is the Kronos Empire. Kronos moved Valhalla, and if Kronos' territory is burned, their top priority will have to change. Think about it. What is Valhalla's intention to overthrow Hector? This is to attack Dmitry beyond Hector, but if I, who is leading Dmitry, is active in Kronos' territory, they cannot stand still. Obviously, the troops will move. As Cairo's Western Front forces retreat to defend themselves, Valhalla will most likely block the Umberto border through Kronos' territory. That way I'll be able to block my way out.

pretended to be the bait.

It was a dangerous operation.

As Roman Dmitry said, he could certainly draw attention, but instead it was too dangerous.

at that time.

Roman Dmitry said.

"The enemies will not get what they want. In this attack, I will be at the forefront, and we must push through to the end and wreak havoc on the enemy's base and chaos on the battlefield. It doesn't matter if enemies block your way out. If the reaction is as expected, then the Kingdom Union will be able to engage in an all-out war with the two empires, using a foreign land called the Kronos Empire as the stage of war rather than 'the entire continent'."

at that word.

Calderon Drake got goosebumps.

The precise fit of the situation provided a natural way to solve the problem of kingdom unity.

And the biggest problem.

As for the danger of attacking Kronos directly, the anxiety melted away when Roman Dmitry said that he would take the lead.

Somehow it seemed possible.

If Umberto couldn't break through the borders of Kronos, it would be a complete failure, but Calderon Drake trusted Roman Dmitry.

If so.

It will be possible.

Calderon Drake said.

all right. From now on, the Umberto Kingdom will fully support Roman Dmitry-sama's operation."

next day.

south of Kronos.

Baron Denikin, in charge of defending the border, heard strange news from the skirmishers.

"Commander. Something is strange. Umberto's forces are marching towards the southern border, not towards Cairo or Hector. At this rate, the enemies will be visible in no time."

" what?!

I was perplexed.

It's north!

That was unimaginable.

This war was only led by Kronos, and the situation in which the enemy counterattacked was not taken into account.

'With the addition of Roman Dmitry, Count Soler's army was shattered. It's a monster that can only produce results with just the Umberto Kingdom's troops, but if he attacks the southern border, will he be able to stop Roman Dmitry with just the troops here?'

only one existence.

I wasn't confident

The high walls and solid magical defenses never allowed the enemy to invade, but Roman Dmitry's actions went beyond common sense.

Above all else, the current Kronos Empire is focused on the Western Front of Cairo.

Baron Denikin knew it was a problem beyond his control.

He immediately contacted the superior.

In a magical communication with the Marquis of Memphis, he mentioned the possibility that Roman Dmitry would go north and attack Kronos.

[ ] It's really ridiculous. Even in the midst of this, they choose to attack rather than defend.]

beyond the screen.

The Marquis of Memphis reacted absurdly.

The saying that attack is the best defense is widely known as a tactic, but putting it into practice is another matter.

If you make a mistake, you can fail both offensively and defensively.

The moment Cairo raises a white flag without breaking Kronos' defense, Roman Dmitry's failure to judge will plunge the Kingdom Union into a pit of despair.

nevertheless.

There was no hesitation.

The troops rushing to the southern border openly revealed their purpose.

[Roman Dmitry had the same reaction in his confrontation with Valhalla. In a chicken game where there was no backtracking, it produced a shocking result that knocked down Valhalla. Baron Denikin. Kronos will not have the same ending as Valhalla. The reason Kronos is called the best on the continent is because it is strong enough to have enough energy to attack the entire continent.]

Kronos' main force.

I had no intention of biting them.

They were going to push through, and only Kronos' remaining forces were going to stop Roman Dmitry.

[Hold on for a week. I will send Castro together with the reinforcements.]

" You mean Castro?"

Baron Denikin opened his eyes.

Castro.

Currently, Roman Dmitry is actually recognized as the best sword on the continent, but Castro was officially ranked first.

Kronos First Sword. The meaning of letting him go means that Kronos also shows his will not to step back.

Roman Dmitry's intention to wipe out the base, he said that he would take a picture of it from the front.

hereby.

it became certain

The Kronos Empire, which Roman Dmitry faced, was the most undeniable power on the continent.

"I will obey your orders."

Baron Denikin bows his head.

only one week.

He vowed to buy time, even at the risk of his life.

two days later.

Across the border, Umberto's army could be seen.

It took Roman Dmitry two days to regroup and get here.

above the wall.

Baron Denikin said to the lieutenant.

"What is the enemy's strength?"

"About 100,000 people. For Umberto, except for the defensive power, he had gathered everything, and there was no magic power. Virtually no reason to be vigilant except for Roman Dmitry."

" How dare you attack with just that much power. Roman Dmitry is definitely not normal."

today.

The situation in Cairo and Hector was very passionate.

The two kingdoms wanted to overcome the crisis with the arrival of Dmitry's reinforcements, but due to the wave of the two empires, it would not be strange if they collapsed at any time.

That is why Roman Dmitry's judgment was even more threatening.

Either Cairo or Hector would have helped the other one would have collapsed, but as they attacked Kronos' territory, the two empires also lost time.

fight of time.

Everyone was pushed to the brink.

If we don't break it down first, the battlefield will definitely change dramatically.

"We will give up the counterattack and focus solely on Mercury. Check your magic defense again. No matter what Roman Dmitry does, he will somehow protect this place for a week when reinforcements arrive."

all right.

The lieutenant moved in a hurry.

I ordered the soldiers, and meticulously checked the parts that could cause any problems.

Still, I was anxious.

The fame of Roman Dmitry.

Hearing about what he's been up to, Baron Denikin looked over the border impatiently.

how much time has passed

snugly.

Umberto's army formed a rank.

Then.

A man walked forward.

" Lo, Roman Dmitry."

"Ah, my God."

The soldiers of Kronos showed their faces tinged with fear.

Roman Dmitry's infamy.

He could not keep his composure even with the Empire on his back due to the fact that his opponents had always died.

widely.

stopped walking.

It was out of range.

As Baron Denikin looked at him nervously, Roman Dmitry exclaimed with mana in his voice.

"Your Kronos Empire unilaterally violated the armistice agreement. And by mobilizing Valhalla, they attacked the Kingdom Union simultaneously. The laws of the continent do not have to ruminate. The victor of this war will be reborn as the supreme ruler of the continent, so it doesn't matter what laws there are on the continent.

It was a strange atmosphere.

Roman Dmitry continued speaking with a peaceful face, even in front of a high wall.

"However, this war caused me to suddenly have doubts. The Kronos Empire describes itself as the greatest power on the continent. According to your argument, there would be no reason to retreat against any enemy, but this war has shown enough to be described as mean. They attacked Dmitry directly with space movement magic to avoid me, and attacked Cairo, Hector, and the Three Kingdoms of the South while avoiding me, and locked my feet in the territory of Valhalla so that I could not participate in the war. I do not intend to criticize the method by any means. The problem is that I wondered if Kronos was deliberately excluding me, or if he had no choice but to make such a choice because he could not stop me."

tuk tuk.

touched my self-esteem.

In fact, it was questionable.

If Kronos had the power to defeat Roman Dmitry, there would be no need for this complicated task.

"From now on, I want to confirm my question myself. When I choose to attack rather than defend. How Kronos would respond, and whether Kronos actually laid the groundwork to stop me. If your strength is less than I thought, I will cut off the emperor's head and plant Dmitry's flag in the capital of the empire.

Moment.

Everyone got goosebumps.

It was an arrogant statement.

I wanted to accuse him of going crazy, but no one raised his voice because his opponent was Roman Demetriy.

It seemed possible.

If it's the way you've been before.

Nothing was impossible for Roman Dmitry.

That was then.

"From now on, do your best to stop me."

he's slow

I moved towards the wall of Kronos.

* * *

It was an unrealistic scene.

Umberto Kingdom Army.

They lined up behind them and no one was moving, but Roman Dmitry walked alone towards the walls of Kronos.

crossed the line

As soon as it reached range, Baron Denikin issued a thunderbolt command.

"Attack!"

Papa Papa Pat.

up the sky.

Numerous arrows were fired.

As they fell like rain all at once, Roman Dmitry's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

pod.

Papa Papak.

Arrows that had lost their target were stuck in the ground.

Roman Dmitry was quickly approaching the wall, and Baron Denikin roared and fired arrows constantly.

Thousands of arrows were fired to deal with just one enemy.

As long as he could deal with Roman Dmitry, he didn't care about running out of supplies.

and.

"Explosion."

"Stone Rain."

Quang!

Whoops, whoops.

Magic was fired from all directions.

It was an unusual situation.

Usually, the wizards who had to go out against the majority exploded their magic by raising their mana to a polarity.

Quang!

The ground fell.

Roman Dmitry jumped up while stepping on a piece of ground, and the arrow attack formed an aura that was lightly blocked.

With each blink of an eye, the distance from the fortress wall got closer and closer.

The wizards used magic against evil, but in the case of fire magic, they just pierced it with their bare body without any defense.

hook.

increasingly.

It looked like it was getting closer.

Baron Denikin's eyebrows trembled as if in denial of reality.

" Such crazy."

no way.

Does that monster intend to open the gates alone?

It was impossible.

And just in case something like this happens, there was also a trap that Baron Denikin had prepared in advance.

"Now."

Bibi Bibi.

The magic bomb reacted.

at the same time.

"Lightning Rain."

quick.

unstoppable.

The wizards gathered their strength and expressed their magic.

At the same time as the magic bomb set off a huge explosion, hundreds of lightning bolts falling from the sky engulfed Roman Dmitry.

There was a light that seemed to be blinding.

A cloud of dust rose fiercely, and the world colored with bright lights did not allow living things to approach.

'It has been dealt with.'

closely.

clenched his fist

The opponent is only human.

Having set foot in the fully prepared trap, he was convinced that his fragile human body could not survive.

That moment.

"Uh huh ?!"

The bewildered voices of the soldiers.

Everyone looked at the sky.

The human form fell as it was on the wall.

kuung.

Curl rumble.

It was then that he looked directly at the scene in front of him.

Roman Dmitry.

Alone, he settled on the wall.
