Edwin Hector said.

[I will not deny you. The kingdom of Hector is suffering from severe famine as is known to the public, and borrowing money from outside has also reached its limit. So they attacked the Cairo Kingdom. In order to break free from the bondage of tail-to-tail debt, we had no choice but to make a decision.]

"Are you asking me to understand?"

[no. What I'm trying to say is to explain how desperate we are. The fate of the kingdom of Hector was at stake in this war. We don't have enough troops. As you said, after 3 months or so, you will have no choice but to suffer from food that is exposed to the bottom. Even so, we cannot back down. Even if there is a limit to digging up vegetables in the mountains and chewing on the body of a dead comrade. I have no intention of backing away until I get what I want.]

It was a cool statement.

Edwin Hector's attitude was resolute enough to speak of the realm of cannibals that he should not experience as a human being.

someday.

Edwin Hector once went to a temple.

The state of Hector's kingdom was truly miserable.

The ground, which had been dyed golden in the past, was torn apart due to severe drought, and children with bare ribs sat on the ground and stared blankly at the ground.

When those children found Edwin Hector, they held out their bare palms and begged for food.

how did this happen royal

Edwin Hector, who was troubled every day as a person who inherited blood, began to think about a plan to attack the Cairo Kingdom.

It was as Roman had expected.

His remarks drove the kingdom of Hector to the brink.

But in the first place, the kingdom of Hector was doomed to fall down the cliff at any time, even if not in this war.

[You know my plans, so you know how we feel. Tell the Cairo royal family. If you do not accept our offer, we will fight to the end until we get what we want. Don't think time is on your side. If we can't get anything through this land, we will spread the poison we obtained from the Necromancer on all sides and turn it into a land of death.]

turned the situation around.

A statement that drives you into a corner.

It was countered with the number of Dong Gui-jin (同歸於盡).

Edwin Hector had no intention of returning empty-handed from the beginning.

[My name is Edwin Hector. As the prince of the kingdom of Hector, I am ready to do anything to save my people. Roman Dmitry. What choice would you make? Will he fall down the cliff like the kingdom of Hector who is driven to the edge of the cliff, or will he pursue the future with an appropriate compromise?]

Cairo.

To them, he is a savage villain.

But it didn't matter.

to do anything for the kingdom.

[The choice is up to Cairo.]

It was the role of the royal family in Edwin Hector's view.

* * *

The opponent revealed his name.

Edwin Hector.

A man called Hector's Star.

While investigating the kingdom of Hector, it was a familiar name.

'Unlike his incompetent father, he has grown into the backbone of Hector's kingdom with outstanding abilities. From a young age, he was involved in the country's big and small affairs and solved numerous problems, and those who admired his ability called Edwin Hector the star of Hector. He is a talent recognized both inside and outside the country, to the extent that various countries such as the Kronos Empire wish for an arranged marriage with Edwin Hector, even in the midst of suffering from a great famine. And, such a being took the baton of this war.'

It was as expected.

this war.

I didn't think that an ordinary person would lead.

The systematic and bold judging that came in, even Roman had no choice but to acknowledge the opponent's ability.

royal role.

The cause was clear.

He knew they would never back down, but even a man named Roman Dmitry was far from ordinary.

Whoops!

"Aaaaaah!"

[What are you doing!]

Roman thrust the sword into Thompson's thigh.

Thanks to the sound cut-off, the soldiers never heard screams.

Roman strongly suppressed Thompson's body, writhing in pain, and slowly twisted his sword as if squeezing out a scream.

"What am I doing now? As you can hear the screams, I stabbed him in the thigh with my sword now."

[I'd rather kill him! No matter how much they say they are enemies, why are you even tortured!]

"Why are you even tortured? You are making a very emotional statement. I have no interest in the affairs of Hector's kingdom. For whatever reason, you have crossed the border and slaughtered the innocent soldiers of the Kingdom of Cairo. But it's like crying like a coward just because you stabbed a little in the thigh. Don't get me wrong Just as you care for the soldiers of Hector, my people are important to me. But why should I show mercy to my enemies? The war has already begun. And you, who crossed the line in the first place, cannot expect me to do anything as human beings."

Edwin Hector.

He made a huge mistake.

Roman Dmitry was not a common-sense person.

No matter what choices the other person made, he did what he believed was right.

squeaky.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Thompson was furious.

To the pain of cutting the bones, he sent a pathetic hand as if to kill him immediately.

Roman doesn't know a man named Thompson.

Although there was no malice in him, he tortured him without hesitation just because he was standing on the other side of the battlefield.

The world of weak meat food.

It was normal there.

No matter what values we each have or what justice we seek.

From the moment they recognize each other as enemies and show hostility, they can do anything to defeat them.

That was it.

Roman didn't think complicated.

He had no intention of backing down despite Edwin Hector's threats, so he tortured Thompson as if to listen.

blood splashed

His face was drenched in blood.

Roman showed his bloody eyes and grabbed Thompson's leash.

"As you do your duty, I will do what I believe is right. So don't ever get caught by me. I will kill all the guys I come across in pain. Not a single one will be spared, and even if you choose to run away with your white flag on, I will follow you to the end and stick a knife in your back. My name is Roman Dmitry. I will definitely pay the price for the sole reason that you touched my people, not for a grand cause like you."

vomited hostility

Hector's kingdom would not have known.

From the moment you cross the border.

The fact that you stimulated an enemy that should not be touched.

Already, the kingdom of Hector has set up multiple camps.

If they do not choose to surrender, Roman also conversely transmits fear to the opponent through the communicator.

hooked.

"Cruckle."

He thrust a knife into Thompson's neck.

The sound of a life dying passed over the communicator, and Edwin Hector said nothing.

Thompson shakes his head.

Roman spoke to the communicator again.

"If you choose to resist the death penalty. We will see you soon."

at the end of that word.

tuk.

communication was cut off.

* * *

Communication is over.

Unlike the anger that seems to explode inside.

Edwin Hector's expression was cold.

'Roman Dmitry. He is a more dangerous person than I thought.'

The number of contemporaries.

A normal person would have no choice but to cringe.

Even if we die, the remarks that we should die together is something that the average heart cannot handle, but the reaction of the other person was stronger.

Thompson was killed.

As if to listen out loud.

Although Edwin Hector knew what his circumstances were and what he had in mind, he sent a warning to Thompson by mutilating Thompson's body.

He was a dangerous human being.

Knowing that he would lose momentum the moment he took even one step back, Roman Dmitry didn't allow a single moment of break.

The type of person I never want to meet as an enemy.

The only variable that occurred in the perfect plan was that Edwin Hector grew in a direction he didn't want to imagine.

" What are you going to do?"

It was Jackson.

From start to finish.

Jackson listened to the conversation.

Especially when Thompson is being tortured, he can't control his emotions and his face looks like he's about to explode.

Edwin Hector said.

"If we had gone through the same time as before without making a decision, we would have slowly dried up and eventually lost the meaning of our nation. So I made a decision. He mobilized all possible funds and mobilized warriors who would give their lives for the country. Jackson. We have no way back. For those who remain in Hector now, the reward we have brought will be more important than our survival."

harsh reality.

But.

That's the burden Edwin Hector bears.

Even if a lot of people die, people can't help but think they're alive more than a grateful heart.

Humans are like that.

even knowing that

Edwin Hector carried the burden.

Taking all responsibility for the war, he left for the battlefield on behalf of the king of a country.

blast furnace.

"We get nothing and we can't go back. Mobilize your troops right now and form a siege from the location where Roman Dmitry appeared. And if you capture that guy alive. To avenge Thompson's death in pain, I will cut out the flesh of Roman Dmitry one by one myself."

said against evil.

At Edwin Hector's sincerity, Jackson nodded.

"I will obey your orders."

this war.

Even if the end is death.

Jackson will never regret the fact that he was Edwin Hector's man.

changed the operation.

Hector's aura swordsmen.

they took the lead

"Follow me."

10 minutes ago.

An order was issued from Edwin Hector.

"I can no longer be swayed by the remnants of Cairo. From now on, even if we are prepared to make sacrifices, we will punish the beings in the dark. Aura swordsmen take the lead to light the way, and when attacked, soldiers from other areas must climb the mountain at once. It is a battle that overwhelms the head. I will give my flesh, and I will take the bones of my enemies."

made a decision

Heavenly Desire (天羅地網).

The moment Roman Dmitry is revealed in a single attack, the boldly rising troops will block all escape routes from which Roman can escape.

It is a strategy that requires sacrifice.

As Edwin Hector, he hoped to produce maximum results with minimum damage, but he changed his mind when he faced Roman's hostility heard from over the communicator.

acknowledged the opponent.

In order to catch the monster, it was determined that the determination to drive the soldiers into their limbs was necessary.

evil.

The leading aura swordsmen.

A bright light shone from them.

It was a magical artifact.

It was to generate light in response to mana, and enemies that touched this light were temporarily exposed to shimmering fragments of light.

It was a trap for maximizing the effect of Cheonra-Aimang.

During the manifestation of magical artifacts, it was difficult for the aura swordsman to exert his powers, but someone had to risk his life and hang a bell around Roman's neck.

so that.

Hector's swordsmen risked their lives.

A strong desire to lead this battle to victory, even at the cost of death as a bait, was revealed in their eyes.

"There is no one out there! Follow me slowly!"

Inspector Aura has revealed the way.

leading him.

Hector's troops rushed forward.

Everyone had confidence on their faces.

When I was convinced that the unknown fear had been resolved, the slow search operation was re-energized.

But.

That was an early conviction.

The moment I stepped into the space I thought there was no one in, the space twisted and something reflected in the light flashed.

Scratch!

blood splashed

The Aura Swordsman opened his eyes and fell down with blood bubbles.

Beyond that.

Apparently, Cairo's soldiers, who had not seen a single hair until now, appeared like a mirage and rushed in all at once.

"Attack!"

"Attack the enemies!"

master of the sword.

Chris screamed as he put a blood on his neck.

When I first entered the mountain.

Roman Dmitry had foreseen that this would be the case.
