The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life

Chapter 390 Second Continental War (13)

The time the sun rose in mid-sky.

While Umberto was making a fuss, the commander of Valhalla looked at Hector’s camp and said,

“Laughing guys. How dare you think of blocking Valhalla.”

Just now.

Valhalla urged surrender.

The content was that if Hector’s merits were recognized and accepted as a vassal state, if he would open the way to Dmitri.

It was an unconditionally better condition than the country being destroyed.

However, Hector sent a radical reply by cutting off the messenger’s head, and the commander of Valhalla vented his anger.

A meeting was immediately called.

At the meeting of the leaders, the commander of Valhalla spoke in a powerful voice.

“Our operation is simple. Immediately advance to Hector’s border, capture the foremost defensive position and secure the warp gate. If we secure the warp gate connected to the Dmitri border, we can drastically reduce the time to travel to Dmitri. And destroying Dmitri as planned is the goal we must achieve through this war.”

“I will follow your orders.”

“I will follow your orders.”

Operation Valhalla.

It was so bogus.

Even though it was about just advancing and destroying it, Valhalla’s leaders did not express any doubts.

just one person.

A leader with a lot of war experience mustered up the courage to speak.

“If Hector was prepared for war, there must be a corner of him who believes in it. Why don’t you carefully assess the situation and find the best way to bring down Hector?”

“Tsk tsk, that’s a judgment I didn’t think about what’s important right now.”

The commander’s expression twisted.

Opponent is Hector.

Hector, who is not even Cronus, but a small country.

Valhalla’s commanders also excelled in their ability to gauge the difference in strength 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 crop failure. Recently, with the help of Dmitri, the country’s situation has been restored, but it is not enough to withstand an all-out war with Valhalla. Above all, the Valhalla Imperial Court issued an order to show results within ten days. If the best strategy is to isolate and dry the enemy to death, we may be able to destroy Hector, but we will ultimately fail in our desired goal.”

In this war, speed was important.

Roman Dmitry.

Now that he is stranded in Valhalla, we need to do as much damage as possible.

The war started then.

When Roman Dmitry returned and took back his army, it was necessary to seize this opportunity unconditionally to win against him.

That’s why I didn’t listen to the words of the leadership.

Those who currently hold power in Valhalla were traitors who followed Cronos rather than Valhalla’s safety.

Opinions were trampled upon.

Seeing the head lowered, the commander of Valhalla raised his voice.

“An hour from now. We will advance to Hector’s borders and trample Hector who dares to stand in the way of Valhalla!”

Northward.

A huge shadow fell over Hector.

* * *

The advance of Valhalla.

Reported directly to Hector.

Seeing the soldiers trembling with a look of uneasiness, Edwin Hector came out armed.

“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 destroy Hector. They threatened to crush Hector if we did not give us a way to attack Dmitri. I will ask you. last few years. What country helped us when Hector was dying from a bad harvest?”

“This is Dmitry.”

“Yes, Dmitry. Dmitry helped us. But what if we forsake Dmitri’s grace for the sake of our country’s safety? If we survive in such a mean way and fall into a vassal state of Valhalla, who the hell will show us faith? Valhalla and Cronus were in one relationship from the beginning. And Cronus turned Odelia into a sea of fire, revealing his intention not to allow any country other than himself to be independent. I don’t want to live like a dog. I don’t want to succumb to such a miserable life of serving the empire like a slave, eating whatever is thrown at me.”

A lot of people’s faces were recalled.

It was emphasized that there is no compromise.

cliff edge.

Hector’s fate depended on this war.

He said that he would exist as Hector even if he fell under the precipice rather than being swayed by the opponent’s appeasement.

“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 all the blame for the war to Dmitry. Let’s show our strength. What kind of country Hector is and how powerful Hector’s potential was once called a great power!”

“Let’s show it!”

“Let’s kill all the dog-like Valhalla bastards!”

tuned in to the emotions.

Hector’s Star.

The fact that Hector’s proud hero was the heir to the royal family was accepted by the people as an undeniable mandate of heaven.

“For Hector!”

“For Hector!”

“For Hector!”

It was seething.

Let the atmosphere ripen.

Palak.

Edwin Hector fluttered his cloak and moved to a position to engage in direct combat.

“All to location!”

* * *

The battle was right around the corner.

Looking at the Valhalla army from the top of the castle wall, Butler asked in a cautious voice.

“… Do you think you have a chance?”

Hector and Valhalla.

The difference in power was serious.

It was an unwinnable battle no matter how much common sense 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 engagements are a different story.”

“… what is that?”

this war.

Edwin Hector focused on the essentials.

“The reason Valhalla is rushing is to make the most of Roman Dmitri’s absence. The goal isn’t to destroy Hector, it’s to advance to Dmitri beyond us, and they’re willing to risk as much as they hurry. If it had been Valhalla a year ago, it would not have been able to stop even such a bold advance. But it is not the current Valhalla. Civil war festered and he lost many men in the conflict with Roman Dmitry. And some troops are dealing with Roman Dmitry in the south. It is true that the opponent is the Empire, but the current strength does not match the reputation of the Empire.”

“It is true that they are stronger than us.”

“To agree. That’s why the first battle, where you can take advantage of the enemy’s pride, is important.”

Even then.

The situation of the kingdom union was hopeless.

Since the news of Dmitri’s victory had not been delivered, Edwin Hector wanted to make a twist himself.

“Do you remember the battle on the southern front in Butler?”

“… No wonder. I will never forget my position following Dmitri or what happened back then.”

“Why did I lose to Cairo even though I was leading the situation at that time? It was because of the pride that we had an advantage. With the rear warp gate secured, I was convinced that there would be no problem if only the variable Roman Dmitri was blocked. Opponents are few and far between. So, we pushed our troops into the mountains, and we faced the worst result of losing countless soldiers to monstrous force beyond common sense.”

memories of that time.

It was disastrous.

But Edwin Hector did not ignore mistakes.

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

“Valhalla is making the same mistake I was then. To the idea that Hector is nothing, to the idea that power is clearly superior. They are pushing their troops more complacently than me. In the current situation, if I can give them a powerful blow that goes beyond their expectations, I can defeat Valhalla once, just as I faced a devastating defeat at that time. And that one shot will be the starting point of a reversal.”

gulp.

Butler swallowed dryly.

Hector’s successor.

When the hell did he grow up like this?

Butler’s loyalty to Edwin Hector deepened as he stayed by his side.

“All right. If it’s Prince Edwin’s order, I’ll jump into the pit of fire with you.”

He nodded.

will follow

It didn’t matter if it was correct or not.

Butler was truly grateful that Edwin Hector was the leader of the country.

It was then.

“Attack!”

“Wow!”

far away

I could see the Valhalla Empire’s army rushing in.

According to Edwin Hector’s signal, the Hector Kingdom Army prepared for battle, and the magic that the Empire Army fired was protected by the magic defense.

It was a battle for the fate of the country.

The soldiers showed signs of nervousness, but Edwin Hector calmly waited until the enemy had pushed in enough.

‘As expected.’

enemies.

I didn’t check the battlefield thoroughly.

An oil barrel was hidden under their feet as they passed by, but they made the choice to rush in blindly.

Enemies filled the field of view.

That moment.

“Attack!”

Edwin Hector gave a thunderous command.

At the same time as Hector’s soldiers fired arrows, Edwin Hector opened the upper deck and exploded magic.

anger.

The lord of the heavenly mage.

Absorbing him, he rose to the level of the 7th circle.

that’s simply.

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

Even when he was in the 5th circle, the wizard who showed more power than that solved the problem of the years that was mentioned as his only weakness.

Mana rose as if it would explode.

Through the research of Sangdanjeon, he made a lot of progress, and especially succeeded in high-circle double casting, which was considered impossible.

“Burning.”

Roaring.

Right after accepting Phoenix’s secret.

“Earth Quake Fire Storm.”

Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Hwareuk hwarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Used 7 circle magic at the same time.

Earthquake’s power caused the ground to sink, an earthquake occurred, and Firestorm swept away the soldiers of Valhalla who were limited in their movements.

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

Every time his red hair fluttered with magic, he split his consciousness into several parts to block the enemy’s magic and counterattack.

Words spoken by the Master of the Magic Tower in the sky.

Edwin Hector’s talent was real.

it really is.

It was a variable and disaster that Valhalla had not expected.

that day.

Valhalla suffered tremendous damage.

Hector’s first victory was delivered to Umberto.

* * *

About a week has passed since the war broke out.

Kronos Empire.

Count Soler, the commander in charge of the mission to attack Umberto, looked at the situation in front of him with a calm face.

“Kill!”

“Wipe out all the Umberto guys!”

Umberto.

they were cornered

After the collapse of the foremost defensive position, they fought a final battle in front of the capital.

Their capital was not very suitable for Mercury.

So, at the middle point called Cheolongseong (鐵甕城), the gate was locked and Count Soler immediately gave the order to attack them.

‘There is no time.’

last week.

Contrary to expectations, bad news came one after another.

The Valhalla Empire said they couldn’t hold on to Roman Dmitri for long, and the armies that attacked Dmitri and Hector were each defeated.

Of course, the aspect of war was still favorable.

The unit that attacked Dmitri was destroyed, but the battle between Valhalla and Hector was still ongoing, and in the case of the Kingdom of Cairo and the Southern Three Kingdoms, the Kronos Empire’s powerful attack faced a crisis of flashlight.

obviously had an advantage.

but.

I didn’t know what would happen if Roman Dmitri returned.

With Valhalla still holding on to his ankles, he tried to wipe out Umberto somehow.

Count Soler shouted.

“The opponents are barely Umberto’s offspring. Sweep it out at once! If even this battle is victorious, in the next few days we will be able to plant our flag in Umberto’s capital and enjoy a wild party! At that time, I will grant you all rights as victors, such as plunder!”

“Wow!”

“Attack!”

got the momentum

Fall was imminent.

It was then.

“Commander. A magic communication request has come in from Valhalla.”

“Now we are in the middle of a war. After everything is over… … .”

“It is urgent.”

I stopped talking.

Urgent means unconditional.

Feeling ominous for a moment, Count Soler accepted the magic communicator.

“I am Count Soler. What on earth did you request for magic communication in an emergency?”

* * *

Beyond the Communicator.

I heard Count Snowdin’s trembling voice.

[I missed the whereabouts of Roman Dmitri.]

“What?!”

I was startled.

It’s only been a week now.

But to have missed Roman Dmitri’s track already.

This is different from the original plan.

[As for us, we have nothing to say even with ten mouths. What is certain is that Roman Dmitri has completely broken through the siege, and given his abnormal movement speed, we cannot be sure where he will be

with it.

Communication was over.

There was less time than I thought.

When the thought of ending the war quickly became stronger, Count Soler suddenly had a strange idea.

‘… for a moment.’

Umberto.

They kept getting pushed back.

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

At first, I thought it was a last resort.

It is said that there is a better chance of winning a match before that than fighting in the capital with poor defense facilities.

But if.

really if

What would happen if their courage did not come from being driven to the edge of a cliff, but from one existence?

It was then.

“Cheak!”

the rear of the ranks.

The screams of soldiers were suddenly heard in a place where screams should not have been heard.

Moment.

Count Soler turned his head to check the place where the screams were heard.
