The Truth of Kronos (2)

It was an embarrassing sight.

The sudden existence of pure white, and the divine power that she exerts.

At that moment, people stared with enchantment, a group of troops appeared and swept the battlefield, led by the pure white knight.

"Put down the hordes of evil!"

Kwareung.

Quiet rumble.

Hundreds of inspectors.

They all manifested an aura.

At first, people who couldn't tell the enemy (敵我) apart understood the situation as they slaughtered the Imperial Army.

It was not known where it appeared.

What is certain is that they define the Kronos Empire as a horde of evil, and they have shown a relentless appearance against hundreds of thousands of enemies.

"Big!"

Ouch!

Screams were heard from all sides.

The white aura slashed the soldiers of the Kronos Empire at once, and the resistance of the enemies who fought back was meaningless.

The tide turned at once. Mysterious beings overwhelmed the hundreds of thousands of troops.

behind them.

The pure white knight walked along and shouted.

"O arrogant and greedy ones! I warned you guys clearly. If we try to color the continent in darkness beyond the authority allowed by humans, we can no longer watch. But in the end, you have accepted the untouchable power to realize the ambition of conquering the continent."

gurgling rumbling.

Aura burned.

The pure white aura colored her presence.

"In the name of God, I will punish the evil spirits. Bless."

pot-

Quiet rumble rumble.

The energy of light spread in all directions.

It was a blessing.

Not only the swordsmen who followed her, but also the soldiers of Dmitry and Cairo's Union woke up to the mysterious power of restoring their bodies.

It was incomprehensible from start to finish.

But now that she has directly mentioned the fact that she is the enemy of the Kronos Empire, Chris did not miss a golden opportunity.

"Soldiers! Follow me!

sprinted forward He defined the beings that expressed divine power as allies, and helped them attack the Kronos Empire.

from then.

One-sided massacre took place.

The Chronos Empire, which had struggled with the power of one hundred and fifty people in the first place, had no way to stop the attack of the Dmitry soldiers who had recovered their stamina at once.

Above all, the power of the swordsmen who followed the pure white knight was overwhelming.

Duke Bamford reacted with embarrassment to a series of situations that were sucked into his eyes.

' What is this?'

this war.

It was an unexpected development.

He knew about the pure white knight, but the 'Sefir' who was mobilized to deal with her disappeared because of Roman Dmitry.

Still, the Kronos Empire had an overwhelming force. It was a clear advantage in terms of numbers, but he had no choice but to make a decision based on the circumstances.

'If this is the case, annihilation cannot be avoided.'

messed it up

His stomach churned, but he wasn't the stupid commander who pushed his soldiers to his limbs for the sake of his pride.

"All troops retreat! We will retreat to Goseong and plan for the future."

retreat.

It was an unusual order.

The Kronos Empire, ignorant of retreat, chose to flee in an unfavorable charter.

The troops retreated quickly.

Goseong.

It's small, but it's also a castle.

If he chooses the castle in the castle, he decided that he could buy enough time for the subsequent troops of the Kronos Empire to arrive.

It was the best decision for the Duke of Bamford.

Even if he was reprimanded for the defeat, he needed a decision that could promote the future rather than a devastating defeat that lost all his hundreds of thousands of troops.

By the way.

Duke Bamford's complexion turned pale when he reached his destination.

above the wall.

Beneath Dmitry's fluttering flag, a flame could be seen.

The moment you realize that it is Felix.

" damn it."

Duke Bamford knew that he had fallen into a trap.

* * *

It was the details that completed the strategy.

When Roman Dmitry said that he would defeat the Kronos Empire in a head-to-head battle, Flora Lawrence added one thing.

"Whether you win or lose in a head-to-head battle. The existence of the castle is very important. If you win, the Chronos Empire has a high probability of choosing the castle as the last bastion, and if you lose, you can aim at the enemy's rear through the castle. So, from now on, instead of giving away the food of Goseong, we must hide by using the tunnels of the castle that the enemy can never find. And when the time comes. After securing the castle, you can choose whether to open the castle gate and attack the enemies or block the escape route of the enemies fleeing to the castle."

I trusted Roman Dmitry.

However, it was the staff's role to pursue perfection, and Flora Lawrence's strategy was adopted with the support of everyone.

sacred being.

It was an unexpected variable.

However, now that the Kronos Empire is retreating to the castle, the troops of the castle have been faithful to their roles.

"Fire Rain."

Hwareuk.

rumbling rumble.

Felix created mana of fire.

With his magic demonstrating an absolute presence on Mercury, the flames falling from the sky colored the earth into a sea of fire.

Quang!

Rumble rumble rumble!

"Ahhhhhhh."

The soldiers of the Kronos Empire headed for the castle screamed at the burning pain, and the soldiers following them responded with embarrassment.

In front, the wizards of Phoenix who occupied the castle attacked, and in the back, the soldiers of the Cairo Union, led by the holy knights, Dmitry and Cairo attacked.

I was completely baffled.

If they had known that the castle would fall, they would have prepared in advance, but they had no choice but to be helpless by the magic that fell from the wall as they did not have any materials necessary for the siege.

It was a four-sided thatched house.

While confused, not knowing what to do, the soldiers were unilaterally slaughtered.

"The enemies are at a corner!"

"Kill them all!"

pushed to the brink

In the front and back attacks, the soldiers of the Kronos Empire resisted as if they had lost their will to fight.

hundreds of thousands.

The numbers had no meaning.

The moment he lost his will, defeat became a reality.

"Do not back off! We are Kronos! Kronos will never be defeated!"

Duke of Bamford.

he was pissed off

Contrary to screaming with blood on his neck, his face was stained with despair.

I couldn't believe it.

Because the defeat of the Kronos Empire was impossible.

Duke Bamford raised his sword to face the enemies himself, and his eyes widened at the blind arrows.

puck!

"Ugh."

An arrow that pierced the heart.

blood was spilled

With his blurred vision, he finally accepted reality.

this war.

The war against Dmitry, where everyone was sure of victory, was a complete defeat for the Kronos Empire.

* * *

The victory or defeat of the war was decided in an instant.

The moment the defeat deepened and the commander screamed and collapsed, the soldiers of the Kronos Empire gave up hope of victory even though they had an overwhelming force.

From then on, I was confused.

Some fled in all directions to survive, some gave up their weapons and surrendered, and some fought to the end to protect the pride of the Kronos Empire, and met the death that caused the two types of decisions to be made.

finished.

fierce war.

The fact that the end was victory, Cairo and Dmitry's soldiers exclaimed the joy of victory.

"We have won!"

"Dmitry, forever!"

"Roman! Roman!"

"Roman! Roman!"

the name they chant.

Roman Dmitry.

Victory came from him.

If he hadn't dealt with Hannibal, the knights of Kronos, and Shephir, the magician of the 8th circle, even if a holy being appeared, victory would not have been guaranteed.

He didn't mind the fact that Roman Dmitry wasn't there.

They believed that the being they trusted would surely come back.

A place filled with enthusiastic applause.

Chris approached the figure with a blood-drenched face.

It was a heterogeneous entity.

On the battlefield where corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed into rivers, the pure white knight did not look like a normal human.

Chris asked.

"Thank you for helping us. By the way, where are you from?"

pure white knight.

It was a questionable existence.

I had never heard of a rumor that there was an existence like her on the Salamander Continent, but her remarks seemed to have known the Kronos Empire from the beginning.

I couldn't understand it from start to finish.

The power she manifests, and the swordsmen who follow her. Even if it was hidden, it was an existence that could not be hidden.

The pure white knight looked at Chris.

It was beautiful.

Her white skin and blonde hair fluttering in the wind made her doubt that she was human just by her appearance.

She said.

"I am the land of the only humans that exist in Arcadia beyond the endless mountains. This is Isabelle, Queen of Luna."

Arcadia.

Luna.

Isabelle.

At the unexpected sequence of words, Chris showed a surprised reaction.

* * *

Shefir dies.

The passage was open.

As Roman Dmitry entered the passage, he was not in the middle of the battlefield, but at the beginning of an endless mountain range.

Once back to Dmitry.

Roman Dmitry, who confirmed Isabel's existence and victory in the war through magical communication, said that Isabel wanted to meet him, so he made an appointment in Kairos.

And the first place we headed was not Adelian's Warp Gate.

Before leaving Dmitry, there was one thing I had to check first.

Dmitry's library.

I found an old book there.

It was a record of the deeds of known historically, and after checking several ancient books, familiar names were found.

[Maximilian]

- A wandering swordsman who made the Salamander Continent tumultuous. As a five-star aura swordsman, he traveled around the continent and dealt with those who are called the strong, and he was on the way to success after being caught in the eyes of Emperor Cronus. At that time, he obtained the surname of Maximilian and served for the Kronos Empire under the name of Count Maximilian. And He, who once climbed to the top of the Chronos rankings, met a peaceful death in the back of history.

It was a person's move.

How the person who left a big mark on history lived, and the details about him were recorded in the ancient book.

By the way.

Roman Dmitry paid attention to something else.

Count Maximilian.

Before the name people remember, he said his real name in a section of an old book.

- Count Maximilian. His real name is Sven.

Sven.

The shadow that attacked Dmitry.

That was his name.

If only Sven had been mentioned, Roman Dmitry would not have thought of the connection of the shadows.

[Mystic]

-He is a mysterious being. It caused a new wave on the continent by developing magic to deal with space, but, contrary to people's interest, it disappeared from time to time. A wizard who once studied with him said that his name was 'Mystic'.

[Ellington]

- A long time ago. Born in the Kronos Empire, the eldest son of the Ellington family, he was a magical genius recognized by wizards on the continent. He learned the truth of magic at a young age and played a major role in the magical development of the Kronos Empire, but like Mystic, he disappeared at some point. Because of that, there were many horses in the Kronos Empire. The 'disappearance of wizards' has always been a historically repeated event, and as of now, no clear evidence remains, raising doubts about Ellington's existence. The Ellington family also disappeared into history after the disappearance of their eldest son. There has been a lot of speculation about his real name, and several names have been mentioned as his real name, including Sheroni, Sherpe, and Shefir.

Mystic and Shefir.

They were also in the old books.

Then, the existence of the shadows did not fall from the sky.

It was clear that for some reason, those who made a historic path enough to be recorded in the ancient books existed as 'shadows' until now.

This was not the only problem.

Roman Dmitry read the memories of Shefir and found out the names of four people, the last one shocked Roman Dmitry.

how.

What does that name mean?

The last name, not an old book, but the most dazzling book, proudly revealed its identity from the first page.

[Emperor Aleksandr]

Founder of Aura.

He was the last name Roman Dmitry was looking for.

* * *

that time.

flash.

Emperor Kronos opened his eyes.

He woke up and frowned at the rushing pain.

" no one there I asked if anyone was there!"

A dry, cracked voice.

There was no strength in his face, but his eyes showed a brilliance that had never been seen before.
