The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life

Chapter 384 Second Continental War (7)

One day ago.

At the time when the Salamander Continent was in chaos, Valhalla leaders received disconcerting news.

[Viscount Maron is dead! For now, we have formed a siege to stop Roman Dmitri, but thousands of soldiers have already died. At this rate, it is only a matter of time before the siege of the southern jungle is broken. No matter how many people are mobilized, there is no way to solve the absence of a master who can handle Roman Dmitri.]

It was absurd.

Just a few hours ago, Viscount Marron was entrusted with full power and ordered to stop Roman Dmitri at all costs.

Valhalla’s new real estate, Count Snowdin, did not completely trust Viscount Marron.

It would be impossible to stop Roman Dmitri with just that amount of people, but since it was an operation that mobilized hundreds of thousands, he thought he could endure it for a few days.

however.

In reality, it only took a few hours.

Count Snowdin reacted nervously to the words of the adjutant spewing out the hopeless reality along with the news of Viscount Marron’s death.

“These worthless bastards! Our purpose is not to dispose of Roman Dmitri. So, even if it means replacing all the soldiers, stop it somehow. The longer you hold him in Valhalla as time goes by. With Roman Dmitri’s limbs cut off, even he won’t be able to go against the trend.”

[…] … I see.]

There was no other way.

It was a bad decision to overdo it by promising to defeat Roman Dmitri when even the strongest swordsman in Valhalla had to kneel before Ares.

Attrition was the best for now.

If Roman Dmitri’s stamina was eaten, he thought that eventually even Dmitri’s monster would have no choice but to reveal its limits.

Judgment within common sense.

No, even this was out of common sense.

It was absurd to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of troops just to hold back one person in the first place.

But as time goes by.

The news arriving one after another triggered panic.

[The second line of deterrence has been breached!]

[You can’t stop Roman Dmitri with [!] They move so fast that even catching up is difficult, and even if they form a rank, they slaughter them and run away. Roman Dmitri moves faster than we can form a siege.]

[Cheer!]

Beyond the communicator.

A scream was heard.

The blood-stained voice proved that even the 3rd barrier had been breached.

‘A guy like a monster.’

Roman Dmitry.

he was alone

Dmitri’s privates deliberately opened the way and he was crossing the wide territory of Valhalla alone.

However, the movement speed was unusually fast.

It was a speed that could be said to be fast even without any obstruction, but in reality hundreds of thousands of soldiers were risking their lives to slow him down.

I felt dizzy.

The day has passed.

Another news came as Count Snowdin’s mouth dried up.

[…] … We were mistaken. Roman Dmitry is not running away. He does not hide his tracks and slaughter whenever he encounters a siege. He never once ran against Valhalla, only feeling that he was running too fast. Count Snowdin. At this rate, it is virtually impossible to tie Roman Dmitri down for a month.]

Around that time.

Roman Dmitry passed Eltar.

It became clear.

Even with pursuit, at the speed of passing through Elthar this fast, Roman Dmitri would be able to enter the Frankish border in about a week.

A week was too short.

Even if Kronos and Valhalla declared war with all their might, it was impossible to sort out the whole situation in a week.

blast furnace.

Valhalla needed a decision.

“Send all the troops you gathered to attack the Southern Three Kingdoms to Roman Dmitri. The Southern Three Kingdoms are not important at all in the current situation. Roman Dmitry. Preventing his intervention is the point of this war. Only by making a platform where he can not intervene as much as possible can we destroy Dmitri and isolate Roman Dmitri.”

My mouth was dry.

only a week

This war will be decided after Roman Dmitry enters the Frankish border.

* * *

Dmitry at that time.

Flora Lawrence, who was in charge of the left wall, raised her voice at the sight of the Kronos Empire army fiercely charging.

“Prepare the second act magic.”

“Fire 1 Trillion Magic!”

Hwareuk.

Roaring.

A fire broke out.

The sorcerers of Phoenix manifested their magic at Flora Lawrence’s command.

“Inferno.”

“Inferno.”

Quaang!

Rurrr rrr r r r r r r.

beyond the walls.

A terrible scream was heard.

The imperial army, engulfed in flames, collapsed to the floor with their skin melting, and there were beings who grabbed their necks in the aftermath of the heat.

Prayer was burned by the scorching heat.

Hundreds of soldiers were wiped out in one blow, but their place was quickly replaced by others to such an extent that they couldn’t even be happy with that amount of damage.

The imperial army trampled over the corpse.

They approached the wall with death-ready faces and started climbing up the ladder one by one.

“Sprinkle with oil!”

“Prepare the 3-article magic. Archers, aim and shoot at the enemies coming up the ladder, not the enemies in the distance!”

It was a confusing situation.

Just now.

The gates were opened.

Flora Lawrence knew that, but was not impatient and kept her position.

Ares was a variable.

It was a fatal problem that he could not respond to even if he expected it, and he did not know that Dmitri would be captured like this due to the variables he created.

But the problem was not to be regarded as a problem. Military law did not always require ingenious tactics.

In a situation like now where you can never back down, it was also important for the commander who controls the soldiers to keep composure without getting caught up in variables.

sticking to the basics.

It was the core of the strategy.

As Rodwell Dmitry sets out to solve the problem with the gates, Flora Lawrence struggles to focus on her situation.

“Prepare the 1st group magic, fire the 2nd group magic!”

Quaang!

Roaring.

The magic worked.

Feeling her heart grow cold, Flora Lawrence quickly made the right decision for the left wall.

variable has already occurred.

In order to somehow reverse the situation, it was necessary to block another variable from occurring on the left wall, rather than overturning the situation with a great strategy.

That was the role of a leader like Flora Lawrence.

As a staff member and in charge of controlling the soldiers, she fired arrows herself while giving orders, preventing the enemies from climbing up the walls.

past years.

The flowers in the greenhouse became wild flowers.

She became a completely different person as she experienced various things, such as the civil war in Barco Cairo and the war with Cronus.

puck.

An arrow pierced the enemy’s head.

As if such a sight was nothing, Flora Lawrence calmly aimed her bow at another enemy.

The battle was fierce.

I was faithful to my role.

However, he couldn’t help but keep his eyes on Rodwell Dmitri.

Glance.

‘… Please hold on until the end.’

passage of the gates.

It was hell.

In a situation stained with blood and fire, Flora Lawrence gritted her teeth.

“Concentrate! The war is not over yet!”

now.

Doing my part was the first priority.

* * *

A short distance from the walls of Dmitry.

Mystique looked at the battlefield.

“These are annoying guys. Have there been any guys who have endured this far against the Kronos Empire?”

recalled the memory.

In a nutshell.

There wasn’t a single one.

Those who rebelled against Alexander disappeared into the dark side of history, and the Kronos Empire never experienced a single crisis.

But this time it was different.

Dmitri, who grew up at once led by Roman Dmitri, had a record of defending against the attack of the Cronus Empire despite being from a small country.

that day.

Sven is dead.

Mystique was quite embarrassed by the fact that she was attacked by a 6-star swordsman even though Roman Dmitri was not there.

“But the play is over now.”

this war.

Alexander made a decision.

Mystique felt a thrill running through her body when she heard that she would conquer the continent and achieve her grand dream.

At one time, he was also a great wizard who commanded the continent.

It was not an easy thing to swear allegiance to someone, but he couldn’t help but lower his head when he saw the future that Alexander was planning.

In this world, there is a fate that cannot be defied.

Mystique is.

Kneeling to a great fate.

Fire –

caused mana.

Back to Mystique.

Shadows rose up.

In the last war, Mystique attacked Dmitri with space travel magic, and Dmitri formed a magic defense to prevent penetration into Dmitri in case of emergency.

Even as Mystique, it was impossible to penetrate the magic defense and move inside.

However, if you use power that is not allowed in this world, you can move a minority only once on the premise that you cannot use power for a while.

that.

Following Ares, it was an unexpected variable.

While preparing for this war, Dmitry was not the only one who found a point of improvement through the previous war.

“Dmitry. No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to hold out until Roman Dmitri arrives.”

Quadd deuk.

Magic power exploded.

The swirling magic tore through the space, and the shadows were sucked in one after another in the purple world that appeared inside.

this war.

As if he had succumbed to his fate.

Dmitri’s destruction will proceed as scheduled.

* * *

Whoops.

space is open.

Dmitri’s sky was distorted, and hundreds of shadows simultaneously fell like rain toward Dmitri’s city.

“Kill everyone you see.”

“Chew-cuw-cuw.”

their purpose.

It was in the massacre itself.

Only a handful of troops could penetrate the magic defense, and it was impossible to annihilate Dmitri on their own.

Fernando who protects the resistance.

It has been proven in previous battles that the existence of troops that do not actively participate in the battle of the outer castle is enough to block the shadows.

so that.

It fell on the boundary between extroversion and introversion.

Since Fernando couldn’t lead the troops, he intended to create as much confusion among them as possible.

“evil!”

“Aaaaaagh!”

A massacre took place.

Since the inner quarters could not accommodate all civilians, some of them helped to hide or carry supplies at the border between the outer and inner walls.

They were the target of the shadows. No matter how many civilians you kill, the general trend will not be affected.

Mystique was not unaware of this fact, but unless you were a wicked person who took human life lightly, a situation like this would inevitably cause problems.

just as expected.

The situation was immediately reported to Knight Commander Jonathan.

“Jonathan Knight Commander! Shadows are attacking the city now!”

Kwadeuk.

Knight Commander Jonathan slashed the enemy.

He not only took command of Mercury, but also actively went to the battlefield and climbed the walls to cut down enemies.

“Damn it. Kronos finally broke through the magic defense.”

Kronos’ strategy.

It wasn’t common.

Normally, space movement magic requires a medium such as a warp gate, but the Kronos Empire showed an appearance that deviated from common sense in the previous war.

It was the same this time too. Without any intermediaries, they sent hundreds of thousands of troops to Dmitry.

I was able to not panic because I had experienced it once before, but it was still a mystery that I couldn’t understand with common sense how this was possible.

last war.

At a meeting held by the Dmitry leadership, Flora Lawrence raised a variable.

“If only. Really, if the Kronos Empire can penetrate the ‘magic defense’ and infiltrate its troops, it will cause a fatal problem. We must prepare for the worst. In order to win the war, it is necessary to determine now the action manual when unexpected variables occur.”

It was a cruel reality.

that day.

Leaders made a decision.

Knight Commander Jonathan stepped back and spoke to the soldier who delivered the news.

“Right now, we cannot allow a power leak. If you withdraw some troops to solve the situation in the city, you may face the worst situation now that the gates have been breached. Leave that to McBurney’s detached unit.”

“… Do you think they can stop it alone?”

The soldier blurted out.

McBurney’s detachment.

They were a special group.

It’s not that I’m ignoring their efforts, but this problem was not at a level that could be solved with a detached team alone.

People with stories like McBurney’s.

Those who lost a body part due to the war or gave up their lives as soldiers due to mental problems followed McBurney and chose a new life.

A detached unit that protects the city in case of emergency.

I heard that they also received the same level of training as regular soldiers, but their opponents were not ordinary beings, but the shadows of the Cronus Empire.

worry ahead.

to such a reaction.

Knight Commander Jonathan said firmly.

“We just do what we can. Even if they are slaughtered, their deaths will be meaningful if we win the war. So focus on our purpose. The best we can do is to play our part from where we stand to the end.”

I looked away.

There was not the slightest worry.

Knight Commander of the Frontier.

Knight Commander Jonathan, who was once told that he was satisfied with just that level of position, built his own world through the storms of the years like the others.

In order to become a suitable person for Dmitri.

He realized through past experiences that he had to think and judge differently than before.

It was then.

Quaang!

Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Explosions were heard in the distance.

It meant that McBurney’s detached corps had begun their own death struggle.

Knight Commander Jonathan gritted his teeth and shouted with a voice so loud that the battlefield, entangled in chaos, shook.

“Kill them all! Show those who dare to cross Dmitri the price!”

Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Aura that explodes.

Knight Commander Jonathan manifested a 4-star aura.

that too.

As a prosecutor, I took a step forward.
