Fall of Kronos (2)

Just now.

The Marquis of Memphis, hurried to the sound of an explosion, heard an unbelievable report from the Capital Guard.

[Marquis of Memphis! Roman Dmitry has raised an aura and has knocked down the walls! Since the cracks in the fortress wall have spread throughout, it is impossible to carry out repairs even if time is wasted. Operation Siege (籠城) was a complete failure. Please come to the field and give us a new order.]

stopped walking.

With the cool aura penetrating her body, the Marquis of Memphis recalled the contents of the report.

" Did the wall collapse?"

It was shocking.

Kronos had prepared everything for this day, but the wall collapsed while he was away.

It was an incomprehensible situation.

According to the report, Roman Dmitry was strong enough to destroy the walls at once, and the Kronos Empire faced an unavoidable crisis.

cackle.

swallowed dry saliva.

He was unaware of the reality of Dmitry's attempted operation.

It was unthinkable that the workers would have taken down the wall, and what was certain was the fact that the siege was no longer possible.

All operations stemmed from the strength of the wall.

However, if the wall had collapsed from the start, a fundamental question arose as to whether Kronos had a chance to win.

It was impossible.

The war is over.

The fact that the monster that had killed Alexander and even destroyed the walls was coming to kill him, he was terrified.

'If Kronos loses like this. Can I survive?'

maybe.

He was more likely to be executed as an example.

Roman Dmitry was such a person.

At least, the commanders who expressed their intention to oppose him had never survived.

Barco, Marquis Benedict, Emperor Valhalla, etc.

I don't know if they accepted it when they allowed room for compromise, but the earnest pleas of the defeated in the war didn't work.

What was important to him was a clear precedent rather than the will of the people, so all of Roman Dmitry's enemies died.

'In fact, the war is almost over. If there is no way to deal with Roman Dmitry in a situation where the walls have collapsed, in the end, all of them will die because of that one existence. Joining the wall is pointless. For the falling Kronos Empire, there is no reason for me to sacrifice my life to save them.'

" Marquis?"

The knight of the family asked with a puzzled face.

looking at him

said the Marquis of Memphis.

"We do not go to the walls."

What do you mean?

"You can't even look at the situation right now?! Roman Dmitry broke the wall. Dmitry's demon is now running with his eyes lit to kill us! As of now, there is no meaning in fighting against the death penalty. Once you somehow survive, you can plan for the future."

" All right. By the way, where are you planning to run away? There is no way out for us."

That's it.

faced reality.

The only way out was a secret passage.

If Emperor Kronos had moved in front of him, he could have escaped there, but when he thought about it, he gave an order and sprayed poison gas into the escape route and closed it.

Dmitry's operation was intentional.

At the same time as sending smoke to the secret passage to disperse the power, Kronos made a plate so that he could cut off the escape route on his own.

I got goosebumps.

how.

What was Roman Dmitry's plan?

As his breath slowly tightened, the Marquis of Memphis chewed his lips anxiously.

I had to think

how to survive.

The magic communicator kept saying that he wanted a response, and some of the knights who followed him looked at the situation with disgust.

But those issues didn't matter at all.

Shaking her head, the Marquis of Memphis suddenly remembered the place that Emperor Cronus, whom Alexander possessed, often visited.

"Yes, the secret room! That's it!"

convinced

in order to survive.

Instead of fighting the storm that hit Kronos, the only way was to hide for a while.

* * *

It was a miserable reality.

At the fact that the Marquis of Memphis had escaped, Captain Alvaro of the Capital Guard clenched his teeth with a face in which the world crumbled.

"Such an inconsiderate bastard. Abandoning the country to live alone."

It was dark before my eyes.

In his view, he could see the soldiers being unilaterally slaughtered, and he could not think of a way to solve this problem.

To be precise, I had to face it directly and completely lost my confidence.

At first, he believed that if he fought without giving up because he was a human, he would have a chance to win, but while dealing with Dmitry's soldiers, he acknowledged that Dmitry could no longer be called a small country on the outskirts.

It was strong.

Dmitry's strong men, even the average knights, seemed to overwhelm them.

That was then.

"Are you the commander?"

bum bum.

someone.

came towards him

When he lifted his head to check, he saw sharp eyes and impressive blonde hair, and the bloody momentum emanating from him could not make it difficult to predict that it was Dmitry's flash of light.

For a moment, I felt as if my blood had dried up.

I never wanted to deal with a guy like Chris, but I thought it wasn't a bad picture if I was on the edge of a cliff anyway.

"Yes, I am Alvaro, Captain of the Capital Guard."

closely.

He gripped the sword strongly.

even if you die

I wanted to leave the past behind.

If the fact that the capital guard Captain Alvaro killed Dmitry's flash was one thing, even if he died horribly on the spot, he would leave his name behind.

His eyes gleamed terribly.

Emperor Kronos was Alexander's puppet, and the Marquis of Memphis, who had led Kronos, cowardly fled.

This country is over.

Alvaro, who was keeping a close eye on his opponent, exploded his aura momentarily as Chris took a step closer.

"And he's the guy who will kill you!"

pod.

Quiet rumble rumble.

It was explosive.

It dug into the space in an instant, and the aura that erupted from Alvaro's sword spread like it would swallow the world.

It was an aura overflow. At the cost of his own life, Alvaro raked up all the mana spread throughout his body.

kill him

I will die too.

The fact that Kronos was an empire that had pacified the continent, he intended to prove with his own power.

And that's it.

flash.

puck.

It was Alvaro's last memory.

Without dodging the attack, Chris dug into a sharp crack and blew the opponent's head off at once.

One island.

got even faster

Thinking of Ares, imagining Kevin, Chris honed himself.

Although he happily accepted the growth of his colleagues for Roman Dmitry, he had no intention of encroaching on his own territory.

Martial arts is not just about training the body.

As Chris's mind entered new realms, Alvaro didn't quite catch his opponent's attacks until the moment he died.

Chris turned around.

throat burned

More than Kevin.

He wanted to reveal himself.

* * *

Kronos lost his will.

From the start, the walls fell, the Marquis of Memphis was nowhere to be seen, and Alvaro could no longer give orders.

They only fight because they are driven to the battlefield. They showed no strong desire to win this war.

They knew too.

the fact that there is no chance of winning.

And Roman Dmitry was keenly aware of the rapidly changing flow of war.

'The Marquis of Memphis is still nowhere to be seen. When the fact that Emperor Kronos was a scarecrow was revealed, the absence of a commander with the strongest voice would mean that he had given up on the war and fled.'

No explanation was needed.

it was visible

The confusion of the enemies who lost their commander.

In that case, for Dmitry, there was no need to continue the battle until he was prepared for damage.

'Thousand Swords.'

up the sky.

Aura soared.

People's eyes were focused on one place, and as if a divine judgment fell, it swept the space in front of them at once.

Quang!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Quiet rumble rumble.

It was an overwhelming sight.

People who stared in rapture, people who ran away to try, people who raised an aura to fight back, etc. abruptly annihilated.

The indiscriminate eruption of the aura was not a powerful technique against individuals, but the people of the Kronos Empire could not bear its destructive power just being swept away by the aura.

out of heaven.

transcended human limits.

At the momentary silence, Roman Dmitry raised his voice.

"The war is already over. Your commander, the Marquis of Memphis, has fled, and no one will come to your rescue. I will ask you It is a battlefield where neither Emperor Kronos nor the commander to lead you exist. What are you fighting for?"

asked a question

Moment.

The war was stopped.

People with blood-stained faces looked at Roman Dmitry with bewildered expressions, and reacted confused by the fact that the Marquis of Memphis had escaped.

They didn't know that.

They were just fighting to fight, and had no way of knowing that the Marquis of Memphis had abandoned them.

So the shock was great. The soldiers of Kronos looked at each other, hoping someone could explain this chaotic situation.

"The Kronos Empire used black magic. Alexander proved that fact, and warlocks were also mobilized in the battle just before. Is this really what you want this country to look like? For those who want to seize power while using black magic that destroys humans, are you willing to give your life to the end?"

they.

It has no power to decide war.

They were forcibly driven to the battlefield, giving them one last chance to end the war.

"If you want to fight for Kronos to the end, I will kill all of them from now on without leaving a single prisoner of war. Choose This is your only chance to choose the future for yourself."

at that word.

People are confused.

At that time, confused as to not know what to do, a man walked out of the crowd.

"Can I ask one question?"

he is.

was an ordinary soldier.

He, who was nothing more than an ordinary commoner, without knowing his name, appeared in front of the people.

* * *

said the soldier.

"As far as I know, I've been told you never give me a second chance. We missed our chance to surrender, and not too long ago we were all set to kill your people. But are you really going to give us a chance? Knowing that Roman Dmitry has never shown mercy in the meantime, what can we trust to lay down our weapons?"

It was a desperate voice.

For him.

I couldn't believe in beings in power.

In preparation for this war, the Marquis of Memphis emphasized a fact to the soldiers.

"Roman Dmitry is a battlefield demon. Have you ever heard that he saved an enemy? The Kronos Empire was already classified as an enemy to Roman Dmitry. So, if you want to survive, you have to win."

that word.

imprinted in my mind.

Knowing that if they couldn't defeat Dmitry, they had no choice but to die, Kronos' soldiers swung their weapons to the end with faces in terror.

In any case, on the edge of a cliff.

Rather than running away to survive one minute or one second, he firmly believed that it was right to fight by clinging to the slightest possibility of victory.

However.

The commanders ran away.

In a situation where even the hope he had so desperately believed in had disappeared, the soldier who came forward represented everyone's position with pathetic eyes.

Roman Dmitry said.

"If you were the decision makers in your own future, I swear I wouldn't have given you a second chance. It is the domain of decision makers to not allow precedent. The emperor of this country, and people like the Marquis of Memphis who drove you into battle a while ago, belong to that realm."

I don't mean to show mercy.

precedent is.

You need a clear target.

If he could set a precedent by killing everyone in the room, Roman Dmitry would be willing to carry out the massacre.

However, all the commanders who drove them to their limbs fled.

Even if all of them were slaughtered, the precedent that the horrors of the battlefield would leave behind did not help much.

Eventually.

It is a land to be ruled.

Just as people from other factions were accepted in the process of subjugating the Moorim, these too were the beings who would become the people.

"It is clear why I am giving you a chance. I also need people on this earth who will live for me in the future. If you accept My existence when you can decide your own future, you will have a chance to live a new life."

that is.

It was the answer the ruling class wanted.

The fact that he would give them a chance to live in the future alone had no reason for ordinary soldiers to fight anymore.

tuk.

"I will surrender."

abandoned the weapon

he was the start

thump.

clink.

one two.

Dropped weapons on all sides.

It spread quickly like a plague, and the soldiers of the Kronos Empire knelt and bowed their heads.

"I will surrender."

"Please save us."

A long affair with Kronos.

It was finally time to approach the end.

* * *

Things were sorted out.

Kronos' men surrendered completely, and Lucas reported the current situation.

"As expected, the Marquis of Memphis seems to have run away. A pursuit team is being sent to investigate the traces, and it has not been found that Emperor Kronos has left the palace."

I get it. Be sure to find the Marquis of Memphis."

Yes.

Lucas left.

now.

It was time to take over the palace.

Roman Dmitry took a step.

Chris and Kevin followed after that, and Dmitry's men formed a procession. It was a breathtaking sight.

On the way to the Imperial Palace of Kronos, no one blocked their way.

it was ????

There was no one to guard.

In fact, it was what I expected.

Castro and the Imperial Knights.

The beings who guarded the imperial family were Alexander's dogs, and there was no one to fight for Emperor Cronus, who was nothing more than a puppet since he died.

It was truly bloodless.

In the statically revolving space, I thought that Emperor Cronus, who had lost his possession, had already left and fled.

like that.

The destination has been reached.

As I opened the huge door and entered, I saw an unexpected sight in front of my eyes.

"Did the capital fall in just one day?"

Emperor Kronos.

He, with a thin, sickly-looking face, did not run away alone, but sat on the throne of the emperor.
