The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life

Chapter 393 The presence of only one person (3)

It was an embarrassing answer.

To attack directly the territory of the Kronos Empire, not Cairo’s Western Front or Hector’s Southern Front.

It was dangerous.

Calderon Drake expressed concern about the operation he could not readily accept.

“… The operation you just mentioned is problematic in many ways. First of all, directly attacking Cronus’ territory with Umberto’s 100,000 troops is tantamount to suicide, and there is no guarantee that Cairo and Hector’s problems will be resolved even if they attack like that. The law of strategy says that attack is the best defense, but the moment our attack is blocked, the situation will face an irreversible catastrophe.”

“you’re right. I agree that this operation is risky.”

Changed posture.

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

“As I said earlier, this war is a matter of priorities. If you don’t deal with the problems that occurred in succession in order, even one out of order problem will endanger the entire Kingdom Union. Cairo and Hector. There is no way to solve the problems of both battlefields at the same time. That’s why I chose a method that would affect both maps rather than a choice to focus on one or the other.”

“Please elaborate.”

“Once the kingdoms of Frank and Redford take a defensive position against the rioters of the Lawless Zone, they have a comparatively large margin of strength. I will send them to Hector. If you deal with Valhalla along with Hector’s magic power, you can withstand Valhalla’s attack with weakened power to some extent.”

moved the horse

The horses symbolizing Frank and Redford were located in Hector’s territory and were in a position to welcome Valhalla.

“The problem is Cairo. There’s also direct intervention on the Western Front in between buying time against Valhalla, but that’s what our enemies also expect. They are more likely to lead to a long war. If Hector were to fall to Valhalla and create a situation where the forces of the Lawless Lands would breach the Frankish borders. A continent-wide war is sure to slowly choke the Kingdom Alliance. But what do you think would happen if we struck a direct blow to Kronos territory? The Cronos Empire Army, which attacked the West, will be impatient with its own situation, and the Valhalla Empire will also feel anxious about unexpected developments.”

“What will happen if Valhalla pushes ahead? After all, Valhalla is not under attack.”

Moment.

Roman Dmitry laughed.

“It can’t be. The subject of this war is the Kronos Empire. If Cronus moved Valhalla and Cronus’ territory was burned, their top priority would have to change as well. Think about it. What is Valhalla’s intention to destroy Hector? It is to go beyond Hector and attack Dmitri, but if I, who leads Dmitri, is active in Kronos’ territory, they cannot stand by. I will definitely move my troops. It is likely that Valhalla will block Umberto’s borders through Kronos’ territory, at the same time as Cairo’s forces on the Western Front retreat to protect their country. Doing so will block the way for me to escape.”

took the bait

It was a risky operation.

According to Roman Dmitri, it could certainly draw attention, but instead it was too dangerous.

at that time.

said Roman Dmitry.

“Your enemies won’t do what you want them to do. I will be in the vanguard of this attack, and we must push through to the end and wreak havoc on the battlefield by devastating the enemy base. It doesn’t matter if enemies block your retreat. If the response is as expected, then the kingdom union will use the land of a foreign country called the Kronos Empire as the stage of war, not the ‘whole continent’, and start an all-out war with the two empires.”

at that point.

Calderon Drake got goosebumps.

The exact fit of the situation gave a natural way to solve the problem of kingdom union.

And the biggest problem.

The risk of directly attacking Kronos melted away when Roman Dmitri said he would take the lead.

Somehow it seemed possible.

If Umberto couldn’t break through the borders of Kronos, the operation would fail completely, but Calderon Drake trusted Roman Dmitri.

If so.

It will be possible.

said Calderon Drake.

“All right. From now on, Umberto Kingdom will fully support Roman Dmitri’s operation.”

The next day.

Southern Kronos.

Baron Denikin, in charge of guarding the border, received strange news from a skirmisher.

“Commander. Something is strange. Umberto’s army is marching not towards Cairo or Hector, but toward the southern border. At this rate, it won’t be long before we see the appearance of our enemies.”

“… what?!”

I was puzzled.

It’s north!

That was something I couldn’t even imagine.

This war was only led by Cronus, and the enemy’s counterattack was not taken into account.

‘With the joining of Roman Dmitri, Count Soler’s army was shattered. It’s a monster that can produce such results with only the troops of Umberto Kingdom. If he attacks the southern border, can he stop Roman Dmitri with only the troops here?’

only one being.

I was not confident.

The high walls and solid magic defense never allowed an enemy to invade, but Roman Dmitri’s actions so far exceeded the scope of common sense.

Above all, the current Kronos Empire is focused on the western front in Cairo.

Baron Denikin knew that this was a problem he could not solve on his own.

He immediately contacted superiors.

In a magical communication with the Marquis of Memphis, he mentioned the possibility that Roman Dmitri was going north and trying to attack Kronos.

[…] … I’m really dumbfounded. Even in the midst of this, choosing to attack rather than defend.]

Beyond the screen.

The Marquis of Memphis reacted with absurdity.

The saying that offense is the best defense is widely known as the art of war, but putting it into practice is another matter.

If you do it wrong, you can fail both offense and defense.

The moment Cairo raises a white flag without breaking Kronos’s defense, Roman Dmitri’s failure in judgment will plunge the kingdom union into despair.

Even so.

There was no hesitation.

The forces pouring into the southern border made their intentions explicit.

[Roman Dmitri had the same reaction in the confrontation with Valhalla. In a game of chicken that did not back down, it produced shocking results by destroying Valhalla. Baron Denikin. Kronos will not meet the same end as Valhalla. The reason why Cronus is called the best on the continent is because it is powerful enough to attack the entire continent and still have enough power left.]

Cronus’ main unit.

I had no intention of biting them.

They were going to push forward and planned to stop Roman Dmitri with only the remaining forces of Cronus.

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

“… You mean Castro?”

Baron Denikin widened his eyes.

Castro.

Currently, Roman Dmitri is actually recognized as the continent’s number one sword, but Castro is the one officially ranked in the first place.

The first sword of Kronos. The meaning of letting him go also revealed the will of Kronos not to back down even one step.

He said he would take Roman Dmitri’s intention to rob the main base and suppress it from the front.

hereby.

It became clear.

The Kronos Empire that Roman Dmitri faced was undeniably the greatest power on the continent.

“I will follow your orders.”

Baron Denikin bowing his head.

just one week.

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

* * *

Two days later.

Across the border, Umberto’s army was visible.

It took Roman Dmitry two days just to regroup and get there.

above the castle wall.

Baron Denikin said to his adjutant.

“What is the enemy’s strength?”

“About 100,000 people. As for Umberto, he has gathered everything except defense power and has no magic power to speak of. In fact, there is no reason to be alarmed at all, except for Roman Dmitry.”

“… To attack with just that much power? Roman Dmitri is definitely not normal.”

today.

The situation with Cairo and Hector was very tumultuous.

The two kingdoms wanted to overcome the crisis with the arrival of Dmitri’s reinforcements, but due to the two empires’ wave offensive, it was no wonder that they collapsed at any time.

That’s why Roman Dmitri’s judgment was even more threatening.

Regardless of which Cairo or Hector helped, the other one would have collapsed, but both empires were also deprived of time while attacking Cronus’ territory.

fight against time.

Everyone was driven to the brink.

If you don’t break it down first, the battlefield will definitely change drastically.

“We will give up counterattack and focus exclusively on Mercury. Check the magic defense again. No matter what Roman Dmitri does, he will hold on to this place for a week until reinforcements arrive.”

“All right.”

The adjutant moved busily.

I ordered the soldiers to meticulously check the parts that could cause problems.

I was anxious nonetheless.

Roman Dmitry fame.

Hearing of what he had done, Baron Denikin looked across the border nervously.

how much time has passed

chuckle.

Umberto’s troops formed ranks.

Then.

A man walked forward.

“… ·Lo Roman Dmitri.”

“Oh my God.”

Cronus’s soldiers showed fearful faces.

Notoriety of Roman Dmitry.

Even with the empire on his back, he could not maintain his composure in the fact that those who dealt with him died without fail.

widely.

I stopped walking.

It was out of range.

As Baron Denikin watched with a tense face, Roman Dmitry shouted with mana in his voice.

“You Kronos Empire unilaterally violated the truce negotiations. And they mobilized Valhalla and simultaneously attacked the Kingdom Alliance. I won’t bother mentioning the laws of the continent. The winner of this war will be reborn as the Absolute of the Continent, so it won’t matter what laws the Continent has.”

It was a strange atmosphere.

Roman Dmitri continued his speech with a peaceful face even in front of the tall castle wall.

“But with this war, I suddenly had doubts. The Kronos Empire describes itself as the continent’s most powerful country. According to your claims, there would be no reason to retreat against any enemy, but this war has shown enough to be described as despicable. Avoiding me, he attacked Dmitri directly with space travel magic, avoided me and attacked the three kingdoms of Cairo and southern Hector, and tied his feet to the territory of Valhalla so that I could not participate in the war. I have no intention of criticizing the method that does not cover the means and methods. The problem is that I wondered if Cronus was deliberately excluding me or if he had no choice but to make that choice because he couldn’t stop me.”

Tuk-tuk.

It touched my pride.

In fact, I was also suspicious.

If Kronos had the power to defeat Roman Dmitri, it wouldn’t have to be so complicated.

“I would like to directly confirm my doubts from now on. When I choose to attack rather than defend. How Kronos would respond and whether Kronos had the foundation to stop me. If your military strength is lower than I thought, I will cut the emperor’s head and plant Dmitri’s flag in the imperial capital.”

Moment.

Everyone got goosebumps.

It was an arrogant statement.

I wanted to accuse him of being insane, but no one raised his voice because the opponent was Roman Dmitri.

It seemed possible.

If it’s the way you’ve shown it before.

Nothing was impossible for Roman Dmitri.

It was then.

“From now on, stop me with all your might.”

he slowly

I moved toward the wall of Kronos.

* * *

It was an unreal scene.

Umberto Kingdom.

They lined up behind them and no one moved, but Roman Dmitry alone walked toward the Kronos Wall.

Crossed the line.

The moment it reached range, Baron Denikin issued a thunderbolt order.

“Attack!”

Papa papa pat.

up to the sky.

Many arrows were fired.

As they all fell like rain, the figure of Roman Dmitri disappeared from everyone’s sight.

pod.

Papa papak.

The arrows that had lost their target stuck to the ground.

Roman Dmitry was rapidly approaching the wall, and arrows were fired incessantly as Baron Denikin shouted.

Thousands of arrows were fired to kill a single enemy.

As long as I could handle Roman Dmitri, I didn’t care about running out of supplies.

and.

“Explosion.”

“Stone Rain.”

Quaang!

Hurghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Magic was fired from all sides.

It was an unusual situation.

Wizards who would normally have to fight against the majority increased their mana to the extreme and exploded their magic.

Quaang!

The ground collapsed.

Roman Dmitri stepped on a piece of land and jumped up, and the arrow attack was lightly blocked with an aura shield.

Every time I blinked, the distance from the castle wall got closer.

Wizards used magic against evil, but in the case of fire magic, they just pierced it with their bare bodies without defense.

hook.

increasingly.

It looked like it was getting closer.

Baron Denikin’s eyebrows trembled as if denying reality.

“… such crazy.”

no way.

Does that monster intend to open the castle gate alone?

It was impossible.

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

“Now.”

Beep beep.

The magic bomb reacted.

at the same time.

“Lightning Rain.”

Quick.

support to fall.

Wizards gathered their strength and manifested magic.

At the same time as the magic bomb exploded, hundreds of bolts of lightning fell from the sky and swallowed Roman Dmitri as it was.

There was a light that would blind you.

A thick cloud of dust rose, and the brightly lit world did not allow life to approach.

‘It was processed.’

closely.

He clenched his fists.

Opponents are only human.

I was convinced that I could not survive with my weak human body since I had stepped into the trap with all my preparations.

That moment.

“Uh uh… ?!”

Troubled voices of soldiers.

Everyone looked up at the sky.

The human form fell onto the wall as it was.

cooong.

Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Only then did he look straight at the scene in front of his eyes.

Roman Dmitry.

He was alone on top of the castle wall.
