Continental Conquest (6)

The battlefield was cleared.

After making sure that there were no unknown variables, Roman Dmitry ordered the soldiers to rest and summoned the leaders.

The meeting room, which had lost its owner, had a quiet atmosphere.

In the wake of the battle, the bloody leaders arrived one after another, and when they were all seated, Lucas reported the situation.

"After checking the enemy's dynamics, it seems that the capital is preparing for a deadly fight while buying time as expected. A compulsory call was issued against the nobles of Kronos, and a message was delivered that if there were those who surrendered, they would surely retaliate. Kronos has now reached its limit. They have suffered numerous defeats over the past few years, and Kronos's seemingly endless streak has come to an end. The moment the capital is overthrown, Kronos can't stand it any longer."

Things have changed.

Kronos, who boasted of overwhelming power, was slowly devoured, and the situation worsened to the worst as hundreds of thousands of troops like Alexander died.

Normally, he would have led the war by using the whole large chunk of land.

However, Kronos also endured the humiliation of giving up some territory and prepared for the final battle, thinking that only one strong and powerful counterattack was needed to defeat Roman Dmitry.

their will.

has been conveyed with certainty.

From the moment he did not accept the previous negotiations, he expressed a strong will to endure and bite.

said Chris.

"From now on, I don't think it's necessary to give the enemy enough time to prepare for a deadly fight. Why don't you divide your troops and clean up the surrounding area? The troops not mobilized for the current summoning order are just arrows to pass the time, so it is only a meaningless war of exhaustion to get them caught on their ankles. fast and sure. If you attack the capital of Kronos after cleaning up the surrounding area, you can put the Kronos Empire in a corner."

"I also agree. The remaining enemies to pass the time are at a level that can be attacked even if the troops are divided."

Chris and Lucas.

The two men agreed.

The other leaders also nodded and showed signs of sympathy, and Roman Dmitry was no different.

this war.

Fast-forwarding was important.

Already in a state of considerable fatigue from the war, it was clear that a long war with Kronos would put Dmitry in jeopardy.

For that reason, we were considering the direction of dividing our troops from the beginning.

However, for Roman Dmitry, even if he made a decision, he thought about how to achieve the best efficiency in detail.

'Chris and Kevin. Their relationship has been changing recently.'

rivalry between the two.

didn't know

As time went on, they became more aware of each other, and through this war, they appeared to be completely on fire.

There were no negative feelings about him.

The weak and strong food (弱肉強Food) is a world in which only competition survives, and the people who followed Roman Dmitry in the previous life showed a competitive spirit, even as colleagues.

Light horse, blood horse, sword horse, etc.

Everyone wanted to be the second person.

Because of such entangled and competitive relationships, he was able to subdue the Moorim in his previous life.

blast furnace.

It was a necessary process.

Instead of stopping it, he poured oil on it.

"I agree with you. We still have many problems to solve. Since there is no reason to waste time against Kronos, from now on, I will divide the army into three and organize the surrounding area. Once I lead the main university (本隊), it will move along the road as planned and head to the capital. And Chris."

"Yes."

"You take the second team and go back to the left. It is the land where most of the nobles responded to the summoning order. The first thing you should look at is the blocking of variables, and for the war materials that can be applied to the enemy's advantage, take what you need and destroy all the rest. In the process, do not leave a single one alive who does not respond to surrender. If we leave room for the troops, they may attack our rear."

"all right."

"Edwin."

"Say it."

Edwin Hector met his gaze.

The meeting with Dmitry's leaders felt familiar now.

"You take the third team and return to the right. The mission is the same as in the 2nd Army. The thing to keep in mind is to clean the surrounding area with minimal damage. If a problem arises while marching forcibly, then the situation is worse than not dividing the troops. And Kevin."

" Yes?"

I was startled.

He looked a little gloomy because he wasn't called, but suddenly Roman Dmitry's gaze turned to him.

looking at Kevin.

Roman Dmitry said.

"You follow Edwin. Assist him, and achieve what I am satisfied with."

* * *

The meeting is over.

Roman Dmitry's words.

It never left Kevin's mind.

"You follow Edwin. Assist him, and achieve what I am satisfied with."

It wasn't just about believing.

Roman Dmitry.

knew everything

Kevin felt his blood boil as the plates were laid out so he could compete if he wanted to.

'The master has delivered a clear message to me and Chris-sama. Cheer for their rivalry, but don't miss out on certain achievements because you're blinded by the competitive spirit. Only when you achieve both the result and the process, you can win against Chris-sama.'

hastened to walk

Future plans.

For the picture he wanted, he needed the help of one being.

"Prince Edwin."

"What happened?"

"I have something to tell you."

Edwin Hector.

He was the commander of the 3rd Army.

Since Kevin's commanding ability is somewhat inferior, he could not take on the role of commanding an army unlike Chris.

There were no complaints about him. Because I know what a great commander Edwin Hector is.

Rather, the fact that he was the one who led him, Kevin felt really fortunate.

Kevin said.

"I want to prove my existence clearly in this war. Please take advantage of me. For perfect results, we are ready to execute any orders."

Moment.

Edwin Hector laughed.

I don't know why, but it was fun for him.

"Thank you for saying that. In fact, after joining Dmitry, there was a picture I personally wanted. There are many talented people like Kevin by Roman Dmitry's side. They are strategically capable of doing so many things, and as a commander, commanding such people is a joy to imagine."

simple thirst.

It has become an aspiration.

Edwin Hector felt excited when Roman Dmitry called himself.

"Do not worry. I have been looking forward to this moment, and regardless of Kevin-sama's request, I will also prove the worth of my existence."

* * *

A few days have passed since then.

actually.

War was a series of marches.

After destroying one fortress, I had to move hard toward the next destination, and I actively used the warp gate with limited coordinates in the middle.

Thanks to this, in a few days, Dmitry can reach his destination.

It was located a little to the north of the east, but it was predicted that the troops would be deployed unconditionally because of the geographical advantage of Mercury.

just as expected.

above the wall.

The presence of the enemy was visible.

Dmitry waited for the day to go down, seeing them busily moving with the sound of loud horns.

late night.

The plan started then.

self.

in the well.

Kevin quietly shook his head.

The moonlight was coming down the small passage, and Kevin silently raised his mana and started climbing the wall of the well.

Hao Mun made all the preparations for this war.

In addition to this place guarded by Count Jean-Pierre, numerous fortresses were investigated, and a passage connected to the waterway was secured in advance.

The aisle was small.

It was only at the level that Kevin could move alone, but that was enough to carry out the operation.

"The enemy will already be preparing for a small force operation. In particular, the defense of the castle gate will be sure, so there is absolutely no need to forcefully attack it. We have only one purpose. It is to inform that Dmitry has arrived and that he is aiming for something."

It was Edwin Hector's order.

months.

landed outside the well.

There was no sound of footsteps falling, and even the water on the body evaporated quickly when the fire was raised.

Kevin seeped into the darkness.

No one noticed his presence, and Kevin looked for a way for the guards to roam, recalling an interior map he had checked beforehand.

And then.

puck.

"Ugh."

stopped breathing.

At the touch of the darkness, the soldiers let out terrifying screams, and they fell to the floor and were dragged into the darkness.

According to the security system here, it takes about 10 minutes for the dead to be discovered.

Kevin quickly killed the guards.

No one reacted properly, and by the time 10 minutes passed, more than 20 guards lost their lives in his hands.

Preparation is finished.

Amid the sudden uproar of the surrounding atmosphere, Kevin pulled something out of his arms and fired it straight into the sky.

Push.

Papa Papa Papang.

The sky as bright as broad daylight.

It was just a flare.

* * *

The fortress flipped over.

Count Jean-Pierre, who had fallen into a deep sleep, hurriedly ran out and shouted, not even dressed properly.

"What's happening?!"

"The enemy! There is an intruder inside the fortress!"

"God damn it! Mobilize your troops now! Strengthen the borders of the gates, and look for intruders no matter what."

midnight.

The fortress fell into chaos.

The emergency bell rang, and all the soldiers got up, and armed men formed a group and searched all over the fortress.

However, no trace of Kevin could be found.

After detonating the signal, Kevin hid himself at the point he had thought of in advance, and the soldiers walking around with their eyes lit up witnessed the dawning of the day.

said the lieutenant.

"sorry. No intruders were found."

"Hey!"

Kwajik.

threw things away

Count Jean-Pierre recalled the current situation around the fortress with a reddened face.

'yesterday afternoon. The Kingdom Union has reached the range of sight. It's a confrontation now, but seeing the intruder infiltrating the inside, he's clearly aiming for something. How the hell did you get in? And by killing a few guards, what are they aiming for?'

My mind was complicated.

from yesterday evening.

An emergency alert has been issued.

Once the soldiers were dispatched, they continued to try to find the intruder.

It was an order given the thought that there might be a plan of the enemy, and such a search operation was carried out for a whopping two days.

So far, no intruders have been found.

The Kingdom Union was also watching the situation without attacking, and as Count Jean-Pierre, anxiety was inevitable.

finally.

I contacted the lords around me.

[What's going on?]

"As you know, the Kingdom Confederation has arrived here. Considering that they brought intruders into the fortress two days ago, they must be preparing something. Send reinforcements. If we play here where Mercury has an advantage, we have a good chance of winning."

[ ] The opponent is Dmitry. Is it possible?]

"Available. The Kingdom Confederacy is currently split into three troops. Unless it's a main force led by Roman Dmitry, there's no reason we can't win. If you have a solid criminal record here. The Kronos Empire can seize the opportunity for reversal. Once the movement of the Kingdom Union is secured by sight, if you enter through the back door, you can watch the match here without any problems."

[I understand for now.]

last few days.

It was blood-drying time.

I couldn't just look around like this, so I drew help from the three lords around me.

After all contact was made, my mind was at ease.

A sudden attempted attack in the middle of the night.

In the meantime, the presence of the intruder and the sight of the kingdom union in sight, I had trouble sleeping in my dreams of dying terribly even when I went to bed.

The war is not over.

As much as he had chosen to fight back, he had no intention of collapsing like this.

A few days passed again.

Fifth day after the arrival of the Kingdom Union.

As strange thoughts began to prevail, Count Jean-Pierre received shocking news.

"Count! It was a big deal! Our reinforcements, coming to our aid, met the Kingdom Confederacy and were annihilated!"

"What are you talking about?!"

jump

got up from his seat

I didn't understand.

The reason why he was anxious but did not show any special response until the end was because the dynamics of the kingdom unity was confirmed on the wall.

But obviously they were there all five days.

I kept checking to see that he was there, what the hell is this?

Maybe there were other troops?

no.

In their own territory, the Kingdom Confederacy cannot move its forces so secretly that even Kronos does not notice.

That is to say.

'Is it possible that the appearance of the enemies you see now is deceiving?'

That was all.

and.

Misfortunes came one after another.

Deng Deng Deng-!

"emergency! emergency!"

"Enemy! An enemy has appeared!"

outside the office.

A loud noise was heard.

Count Jean-Pierre, with a pale face, hurriedly moved to the place where the sound was heard.

arrived at the gate.

It was already the hell of Abi Gyu-hwan.

Soldiers lying on the floor.

bloody bloodstains.

Kevin, whom the soldiers had been looking for like that, appeared on his own feet and slaughtered all the soldiers guarding the gates.

Count Jean-Pierre arrived late.

Kevin chuckled.

"It took a lot of hard work to find me."

last few days.

Inside was chaos.

The soldiers concentrated on the search without even getting a proper rest, and they could not neglect the vigilance of the Kingdom Union outside the castle.

Without even realizing it, their fatigue gradually piled up.

And when Kevin reappeared, there was a hole in the security system, unlike a few days ago.

in the middle of the enemy line.

took a risk

Count Jean-Pierre exclaimed as if in a frenzy.

"Attack! Stop that guy!"

Soldiers rushing from all directions.

Kevin raised an aura as he looked at them.

flash.

A chain that is cut at once.

The chains slid off, and the heavy gates it supported fell onto the moat.

Quang!

murmur rumble

The gates were opened.

Annihilation of surrounding lords.

and opening the gates.

It was a shocking result in just a few days.
