51. Roman power revealed
By the time the southern kingdoms of the eastern continent began to liberate small countries one by one while attacking the central region, the countries bordering Roman, centered on Wingsar, began moving north.
The troops in the south, centered on the King of Brighton, called the Knight King, and the master Douglas, a famous general and master of Denver, famous as a neutral country in the east, captured the small countries and put pressure on Roman.
The moment they attacked Roman, centering on two famous Masters in the East Continent, the Empire also started attacking beyond the iron wall.
「The war between Ignit and Roman has begun in earnest!」
“Ignit changed from being attacked to attacking.”
As Ignite’s attack began in real time, the eyes of the entire western continent were focused on the east.
As the two empires began to wage war in earnest, everyone paid attention.
At the time of unification of the Western Continent, Ignit’s superiority was predicted, and since there was even the Human Federation, Roman’s defeat was no different from an established fact.
All they care about is how quickly they can destroy Roman.
Contrary to this public opinion, Ignit’s military had a mountain of worries.
“When will the demons show up?”
“Wouldn’t it be if the border was dangerous?”
“Maybe they intentionally vacate the borders, bring us inside, and then attack.”
“It might be better to move after seeing what the armies to the south and east will do. They might give up defending other areas and focus on the Empire!”
Around the time the imperial military was fiercely debating on how to proceed, Roman’s military was busy.
“damn! Abandon all borders on the other side. Draw it in as far as possible and defend it at the main base fortress.”
“Yes!”
Eshtar, who is said to be the best commander in Roman, hastily issued orders to several of his subordinates.
In order to block the Ignit Empire army, there was no time to worry about anything else. This is because if you fight the wrong way, even the capital can be penetrated in one room.
Therefore, he was planning to give up defense against the Allied Forces in the Eastern Continent and stop at two strongholds centered on the capital.
The problem is then
“What do you say to your Majesty?”
“You didn’t say anything.”
“after… … Really?”
“Yes.”
Eshtar’s expression rotted at the answer of the officer directly under the emperor.
Everyone on the continent knew that Roman had already joined hands with the demons. But is there anything more to hide?
In fact, even Eshtar did not know much about the demons.
In Roman, only the emperor and a few top-level figures knew the information related to the demons.
It was just frustrating from Ashtar’s point of view because such people were hiding it until the end.
“At this rate, enemies will come to the capital in less than a month.”
“… … .”
At Eshtar’s candid words, the officer called the emperor’s ear sighed.
“I know nothing. I apologize.”
“… … I’m going crazy.”
Looking at Ashtar, who was smoking a cigarette with a frustrated expression, the young officer said cautiously.
“Your Majesty said in the past that you will come out when the time is right.”
“Is that after the fall of the Romans?”
“I don’t think so.”
Eshtar sighed at the officer’s words that were close to a definite answer.
“Okay. It must have been difficult to say, but thank you.”
“I apologize for not being able to help.”
country’s crisis situation.
In such a situation, the officer, who was disillusioned with himself for being of no help, smiled bitterly and went out.
Eshtar also smiled bitterly at the officer’s appearance.
“What is His Majesty thinking… … .”
Eshtar muttered that while looking at the status board.
He was a wise Roman emperor.
If that kind of person makes such an irrational number, there must be something.
That’s why he trusted and followed him, but Roman’s situation only became more difficult.
“I still have to trust you.”
Looking at his recent appearance, he is behaving incomprehensibly, but he was still the emperor of his country.
Believing that he must have thought of something, he rolled his head to block the enemies as much as possible.
By sending reinforcements to the fortresses of neighboring countries following Roman, the enemy’s time was reduced, and the enemy advancing from the south was ignored, and the troops were concentrated in the main fortress.
Then the Human Federation was excited.
Although it was the opponent’s intention, it was because they were on a winning streak.
“Streak! The human federation that has nothing to do with it!”
“The Confederate forces are on the rise. At this rate, can we reach the Roman capital before the Ignit Empire?」
「The Eastern Allied Forces that destroyed Roman allies. ‘We will reach sooner!’ Confessing Roman territory as if the southern and eastern allied forces were competing with each other?」
The moment came when they had no choice but to stop as they advanced toward the Roman capital without any roughness.
“Also… … Is it Roman?”
Brighton, the King of Wingsar and the Master representing the southern part of the East Continent, admired the Roman fortress.
Not only the solid walls, but also the barriers overlapping dozens of layers and the magic cannons that seemed to go beyond hundreds showed that if you attacked incorrectly, you would only suffer enormous damage.
And it was the same with the troops entering from the east.
Master Douglas of Denver, a neutral nation who was conducting tightrope diplomacy between Sandria and Roman, had no choice but to stop advancing in front of Roman’s eastern fortress.
“Eshtar is well prepared.”
He knew at a glance that Eshtar, a close friend of his and Roman representative, had used this place as his last base.
“Let me rest for now.”
“Yes.”
At Douglas’ order, the troops of each country took a break before attacking the fortress as they set up temporary bases.
* * *
When the Allied Forces in the Eastern Continent stopped advancing in front of the Roman Fortress, the Imperial Army was attacking the giant’s fortress entering the Eastern Continent over the iron wall.
“I think I’ve seen enough of the liver… … What do you think?”
At Duke Dave’s question, the Masters of the Sun Sword and the Old Southern Kingdom nodded their heads.
4 masters.
On the other hand, the opponents were the twin master Ivan brothers, who tormented the western continent, and the only mage in Romania, Balkan.
In fact, even though most of Roman’s power was devoted to defend this fortress, one man was lacking.
I started a search war to see if there was any hidden power, but in the end, no one came out.
So, as if there was nothing more to see, the Empire’s general offensive was decided.
“… … You are coming.”
“okay.”
Brother Ivan looked at the large army of Ignits approaching with an expression prepared for death.
Because it was an all-out attack by the elite Ignit army, even a giant’s fortress would not be able to withstand it for several days.
Knowing that, the Ivan brothers clench their teeth.
Then, Vulcan, the mage who climbed the wall, raised his staff.
At that moment, the four masters of Ignite created an aura at once and started attacking the fortress.
“Capture the fortress at once and advance to the capital!”
At the cry of Duke David, Ignit’s troops shouted and charged.
Then, the Roman side, who lacked one person, tried to raise morale and fight against it, but as soon as they saw David’s rush, their morale cooled down at once.
In order to block the masters of the south and the sun sword, Roman’s master class power was thrown in, but there was no one to stop David, so he had to respond with the knights.
If only Duke David had been alone, the Roman side would have been able to respond.
However, it was not enough to stop the influx of Ignit Knights.
As the gate was halved at once, Ignit’s troops gathered in the center, and a fierce battle took place around the gate.
And to break through it, Daveer stretched out his sword with all his might.
As the stabbing like a flash of light he was proud of continued, an enormous auror emanated from the sword.
“ddu… … Break through!”
A black spear fell from the sky just as the spear made with the magic of the Knights Templar was about to crack and break through Dave’s sword.
woohoo!
“This energy… … .”
After confirming the black magic that blocked his attack, Duke Davey revealed his life.
“Are you a warlock?”
The head of a warlock who left after inflicting enormous damage on the western continent appeared from above.
Then Duke Davey raised the Auror with all his might.
This is because if your opponent is the head of a warlock known as a mage, you have to do your best from the start.
‘Yeah, the odds are on our side. Just holding on to the warlock gives us an edge.’
The overall power was also dominated by Ignit, but the Pope of the Holy Kingdom and Sicario of the North are joining. Besides, Glenn, who was appointed as the commander of the 2nd Knights of the Imperial Palace, also joined, so time was on their side.
Glenn, who had thought that far, swung his sword, focusing on keeping the black mage in check.
Davy engages in a fierce battle while blowing thousands of black spears in one blow. And the masters of Ignit who deal with Brother Ivan and the mage Balkan.
As they engaged in a fierce battle, Ignit’s proud airships and knights began to enter the giant’s fortress little by little.
Then the hidden warlocks finally appeared.
“You’re finally out.”
Ignit’s southern commander laughed at this.
The demons had not yet appeared, but they had enough troops to arrive soon.
“Put in all the remaining power.”
“Yes!”
At the command of Rokan Barsayles, all remaining troops began to be deployed.
A fierce battle ensued between the warlocks and the additional troops from the Empire over the open gates.
The officer’s urgent report was heard in the ears of the southern commander, who was watching the scene from behind.
“The reinforcements have been attacked by an unknown group!”
“What?”
The southern commander tilted his head with a look of incomprehension.
“Roman has the strength to do that… … If there was, it would have been better to focus here.”
There was something strange about the decision made by Eshtar, the master of Roman.
With their clumsy troops, they would be slaughtered in an instant by the Pope and the strongest sword in the Western Continent.
He is called the best master of Ignit, and the only master in the eastern continent that he recognizes makes such a clumsy decision?
Something was strange.
When I felt so suspicious, the crows under the direct control of Marquis Sicario arrived and reported additionally.
“The reinforcements were stranded because of an unknown army. It seems difficult to arrive today.”
“What? Does that make sense?”
“There were two master class beings mixed in the unknown army.”
Upon hearing the crow’s report, Rokan opened his eyes wide and asked.
“Are you a demon?”
“no. Those who appear to be master-level beings are said to be like the ones Your Majesty called Majin.”
“Mine… … .”
As Rokhan frowned, another urgent message arrived.
“The army under Sir Glenn was also attacked.”
“What? Are they also demons?”
“no. This time it’s the demon army. Iwa, who claims to be the commander of the demon corps, and Sir Glenn are currently fighting!”
Rokhan’s expression hardened at the report that followed.
‘Are you aiming for this!’
With that in mind, Rokan Barsayul looked at the giant’s fortress with a trembling expression.
He was thinking of an overwhelming victory, but things were going strangely.
‘If there’s anything else left here… … It might be a difficult fight.’
Lokan thought so and clenched his fists.
