Chapter 355 Chicken Game (3)


    Valha’s method was standard.


    res were put forward, and dozens of siege engines fired fire at once.


    Tung.


    Tutu tu tu tu tu tu.


    The sky was covered in mes.


    As it fell on the wall, defensive magic was formed, and Hernard’s soldiers looked at the sky nervously as the mes scattered around.


    I wasn’t sure how long the defense magic wouldst.


    What is certain is that the durability of the magic defense is not infinite, and there is no confidence to stop the million-strong army that can be seen beyond the wall.


    First day.


    Valha focused on cutting durability.


    I was not in a hurry.


    No matter what kind of mess Dmitry’s army wreaked, he was sure that the emperor’s army would produce results faster.


    So warm up enough, but be sure. Valha’smander, Count Gomes, looked at the walls of Hernard with a calm face.


    Due to the re that exploded throughout the day, the rebel wizards were busy moving to repair the magic defense.


    two dayster.


    The fifth day after Dmitry breaks the North.


    There has been a change in Valha’s camp.


    “They are wizards!”


    “To mobilize even the wizards of vagabond!”


    One of Valha’s magic towers.


    They were wandering wizards.


    They are famous for living freely on the battlefield, and they were evaluated as exerting a considerable influence on the battlefield than any other Mage Tower.


    It was one of the special forces mobilized by the Emperor of Valha.


    Without the emperor’s order, Vagabond’s mages would never have responded to the summons.


    “Lightning Rain.”


    “Wind Field.”


    sh


    Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.


    The magic manifested itself.


    The sky turned ck with a powerful blizzard, and dozens of lightning bolts burst through the dark clouds.


    Quaang!


    Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!


    It was a great magic attack.


    The magicians of Vagabond constantly manifested their magic, and re continued to fire mes, pounding the walls.


    The wizards of the rebels were not the only ones to watch.


    Some defended with defensive magic, some counterattacked with offensive magic, and tried to counterattack using ballista from behind the castle wall, but the difference in power was so great in the first ce that they could notpletely block Valha’s attack.


    furthermore.


    The durability of Hernard’s walls had already been greatly damaged.


    Once the rebels upied it and the emperor’s army additionally attacked it, no matter how much it was repaired, it could not show a healthy appearance.


    The rebel soldiers showed a nervous look.


    If the magic defense of the castle wall was pierced in just three days, there was no guarantee how long it wouldst in the hand-to-handbat that would follow.


    atst.


    cooong.


    Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.


    Part of the wall copsed.


    finished.


    It was too early, and Count Gomes, who was watching the situation, gave the order without hesitation.


    “All troops march! Exterminate all the heinous traitors!”


    “March!”


    The Emperor’s soldiers surged forward.


    The sight of a million soldiers advancing was truly spectacr, and they crossed their shields to block the sky in preparation for a ranged attack.


    Arrows fired countless times from the top of the castle wall.


    Some broke through the shields and attacked the soldiers inside, but they could not stop the Emperor’s soldiers from reaching right in front of them.


    chuck.


    chuckle.


    Adder was hung on the wall.


    Duke Vieto shouted at the sight of the enemiesing up one after another.


    “Stop! Don’t cover the means and methods and stop it somehow! If we fall, the future of Valha is over!”


    A voice of evil.


    but.


    The situation was not very hopeful.


    * * *


    The sun went down.


    Once the storm of death had passed, the rebel soldiers were strewn with miserable faces all over the city walls.


    It’s only one battle.


    For the first two days, most of the time was spent blocking magic attacks, so it was the first time I encountered the Emperor’s troops, and I had already suffered this much damage.


    Seeing the bloodied Duke of Vieto.


    Sanchez came over and said.


    “We need to find out the exact damage situation, but after checking roughly, it is estimated that about 50,000 troops have been lost. The emperor’s army suffered more than twice as much damage, but the problem was that they still had 900,000 men left. Duke. At this rate, it is only a matter of time before Hernard is captured.”


    “… I guess so. From the moment the Emperor of Valha gathered his forces here in Hernard, there was no chance for us to win.”


    It was hopeless.


    Duke Vietto looked around with empty eyes.


    50,000 soldiers.


    Those who raised their voices to follow him fell into the status of the dead in just one day.


    Maybe this is your future.


    Even if you borrowed the power of Roman Dmitri, it would be reckless to oppose the Emperor of Valha, who boasts of invincible power.


    But even knowing that, he drew his sword and the fact that death was right around the corner didn’t matter to him.


    “The good news is that Roman Dmitri has already taken down Ruenos and Portbell.”


    That was good news.


    but.


    No matter how fast, it was impossible for them to create a variable in a matter of days.


    There is no guarantee how long Hernard’s rebels will hold out, but even if it takes a week for Dmitri’s army to defeat Santino, upy the warp gate, and threaten the Valha royal family, sess cannot be guaranteed.


    st furnace.


    It was the part the rebels had to deal with.


    Roman Dmitri was struggling, but he had no time to pay attention to it now.


    said the Duke of Vieto.


    “Maybe we risked our lives in a ridiculous fight from the start. Sorry Roman Dmitri, but I don’t think he can achieve enough to influence Hernad in just a few days. maybe we all die We will be marked as rebels, trampled and humiliated even in death, just because we speak the right voice for Valha.”


    It was to be expected.


    The desperate situation forced reality on him.


    “But it doesn’t change that we are right. will fight to the end Even if all the rebels die here in Hernard, we will nt the embers of Valha in the hearts of the people of Valha. then someday Someone who has inherited the spirit of Valha will surely carry on the will of Valha.”


    He clenched his fists in despair.


    he already


    It was epted that the rebellion had failed.


    * * *


    Sixth day.


    Dmitry’s allied troops arrived in Santino.


    After defeating Luenos and Portbell in just three days and marching day and night, they reached Santino in less than a week.


    It was a great enough achievement.


    There was only one day left from the week Roman Dmitri said, and on the day of arrival, I focused on resting rather than overdoing it.


    next day.


    moved troops.


    After confronting the walls and the distant streets, Roman Dmitry walked slowly towards the walls of Santino.


    Then.


    tall.


    I stopped walking.


    He met many eyes looking at him from a fairly close distance.


    “I am Roman Dmitri of the Dmitri Kingdom. Request a battle with the Great Warrior to the lord of Santino.”


    Great warrior battle!


    At that word, the top of the castle wall murmured.


    It had to be.


    The battle of the great warrior is a way to gain momentum with personal force, but there was no way that there was such a presence in Santino.


    No, it didn’t even exist in Valha as a whole.


    Think about it. Ares, who dered that he would follow Roman Dmitri, defeated Alvarez and Cesar one by one, but who the hell is going to deal with Roman Dmitri, who is clearly superior to him?


    This was obviously a fight against Valha.


    above the castle wall.


    Count Santino showed his face and said.


    “I will refuse! Your dirty intentions are clear, so why are we epting such an offer!”


    It was a firm voice.


    Hernard.


    It was on the verge of copsing.


    There would be a match in the next two or three days, but I had no intention of ruining the situation by following Roman Dmitri’s intentions.


    Besides, here in Santino, there were also Portbell’s troops.


    Thanks to Roman Dmitri taking down a portbell to save time, Santino has more troops.


    and.


    The information that the opponent was attempting a dispel attack was also grasped in advance.


    Just as they responded to guerri attacks with fire magic, they came up with a countermeasure in a short time.


    Roman Dmitryughed.


    “What a pity. I once heard that Valha is a country of warriors who do not shy away from confrontation regardless of victory or defeat. To think that now it has degenerated into a country where it is natural to look after practical interests. If so, how about doing this? Ten in ten, hundred in hundred. I will ept any challenge. If you open the city gates and say that you will deal with me, I will not back down from this position.”


    It was an obvious mockery.


    opponent’s reaction?


    It was obvious.


    Silent answer.


    shut up


    I knew that if I continued the conversation, only Valha’s pride would fall to the ground.


    OK.


    “Yes, if ites out like that.”


    Shuk.


    I took something out of my arms.


    Then.


    Cheak-


    “I’ll go there.”


    * * *


    It was a magic scroll.


    Mana woke up.


    Shining brightly, the wings spread behind Roman Dmitri’s back.


    Pk.


    “Fly.”


    flight magic.


    Roman Dmitry rose to the sky.


    Upon hearing that Ares once climbed the wall using a dagger, Valha cast a slippery magic on the outer wall so that it could not be used as a stepping stone.


    leave it In the first ce, the walls of Santino were high, so it was impossible to jump up and enter the walls at once.


    however.


    I didn’t know you woulde flying.


    Count Santino, who was looking at Roman Dmitri with a bewildered face, eximed.


    “Stop! Roman Dmitri must note inside the walls!”


    pod.


    Push shush shush.


    Arrows were fired from all sides.


    In an instant, arrows rushed around Roman Dmitri, but their intentions did not work at all.


    “Fire shield.”


    “Fire shield.”


    Hwareuk.


    Roaring.


    A fire broke out and protected Roman Dmitry.


    The arrows turned to ashes at once, and Roman Dmitri did not slow down the speed of their flight at all, as if he had expected that they would be blocked from the beginning.


    Then, this time, the wizards of Santino came forward.


    Their magic power exploded and they showed their will to shoot down Roman Dmitri.


    but.


    The result was the same.


    Wizards of Phoenix and Hector.


    They protected Roman Dmitri.


    Dispel attack and defense magic somehow blocked the attackers, and thanks to that, Roman Dmitri reached the vicinity of the castle wall in an instant.


    It was a really odd situation.


    People who want to put a single being on top of the wall, people who try to stop it like fire has fallen on their feet.


    It was an unusual development.


    Normally, this kind of method wouldn’t make any sense, but if the opponent was Roman Dmitri, it was apletely different story.


    ‘It’s the end if I bring it inside the castle wall.’


    across borders.


    heard by rumor


    The overwhelming force shown by one individual.


    Come to think of it, I thought that the Great Warrior battle was a fake in the first ce.


    Roman Dmitry expected the fact that he would refuse the Great Warrior battle from the beginning, and deliberately used the Great Warrior battle as an excuse to get as close as possible to the fortress wall.


    If you agreed to the Great Warrior battle. That would have benefited from it.


    Even if someone represented Valha, there was no way to defeat Roman Dmitri.


    “Stop it!”


    screamed


    A situation I was not prepared for.


    Wizards raised their power.


    He managed to break through the magic defense and attack, but was blocked in vain by Roman Dmitri’s sword screen.


    Fly is magic that grants the ability to fly.


    Since the fighting ability was not excluded, there was no way to drop Roman Dmitri with Santino’s current power.


    If only I had known in advance.


    would have been prepared for it.


    atst.


    widely.


    Roman Dmitry settled on top of the castle walls.


    That moment.


    An angry voice broke out from all directions.


    “Attack!”


    “Kill!”


    Kwalung.


    Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


    ran from all sides.


    Santino’s soldiers lit up their eyes and attacked Roman Dmitri in an instant, like a swarm of bees.


    It was truly spectacr. The siege method using the fly was ssically fashionable.


    The reason why it was quickly turned away from people was that even if itnded on the wall like that, it could not guarantee its life.


    st furnace.


    Pooh.


    “Cheak!”


    Results were different for each person.


    Soldiers dripping with blood.


    Roman Dmitri, who ughtered dozens of enemies in an instant, looked up and saw Count Santino in the distance.


    “Contact the Valha Imperial Family immediately. Santino is in danger.”


    Count Santino hurriedly picked up his magicmunicator at the sight that gave him goosebumps.
