The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 106
Chapter 106 Unfinished War (3)
The magic communication is connected.
Roman Dmitri’s face appeared on the screen that was installed as a temporary measure.
[This is Roman Dmitry from the Southern Front.]
Beyond the screen.
All the leaders of the Cairo Kingdom, including Daniel Cairo, gathered.
When they checked Roman’s face, they couldn’t hide the desire revealed from their eyes.
“I heard a report that all the foremost defensive positions on the southern front had been captured. What have you been doing?”
It was Daniel Cairo.
gap of a week.
I couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
Roman Dmitri was the only one who won the battle, but he did not show any response even when the tide turned.
I don’t mean to discredit his major.
However, the unilaterally cut off communication and the situation that followed made me questionable as a person watching from a distance.
Roman said.
[We have been rearranging power for a week.]
“… redeployment of power I don’t want to blame you for your decision to make a great contribution to Hector’s kingdom. In the meantime, however, three lines of defense on the southern front had fallen into enemy hands. War is not always a perfect place, so couldn’t we have been able to line up and help them as soon as possible?”
[I will tell you my honest opinion. The reason he was able to win the battle against Hector’s Kingdom was because of his luck. They had the power to overwhelm the southern front. Fortunately, using the mountain’s geographic advantage and darkness, we were able to counter the enemy’s attacks, but encountering them on the plains would not save our lives. So, I decided to keep my power. From the moment the commanders of the southern front locked the gates against my advice, there was no way I could help them.]
Calm.
Even when asked why.
Roman wasn’t too worried.
It would be easy for people watching the battlefield from afar, but what was happening on the field was different from what they thought.
and.
He also knew how to make his choice understand at once.
[The kingdom of Hector staked its life and death on this war. Butler, the second-ranked Hector Kingdom, entered the war and confirmed that Prince Edwin Hector, the commander of the enemies, was a wizard. I think you all know it well. Mages wield absolute power in the plains. So I didn’t go down the mountain. I thought the stage for us to fight was not now, but when the main force arrived in Cairo.]
“… what?!”
Daniel Cairo opened his eyes.
Butler and Edwin Hector.
It was a familiar name.
Butler had a reputation as a swordsman representing the kingdom of Hector, and unlike Daniel Cairo, Edwin Hector was rumored to be a natural talent with the qualities of a king.
But it turned out that Edwin Hector was a wizard.
It was shocking.
Cairo’s leadership, who were watching the situation, also reacted with embarrassment at the fact that Roman revealed.
‘Roman’s judgment is correct. If the kingdom of Hector had mobilized 5-star swordsmen and wizards, there would be no chance of winning with the power of the southern front.’
‘To think Butler participated in the war.’
‘The kingdom of Hector really staked its life and death.’
suddenly.
They suddenly thought that Roman was great.
Even against the Butler and the Wizard, Roman won a great victory through guerrilla operations.
sure
Roman Dmitry was a monster.
Looking at the talent that would later spread to the continent, the eyes of the aristocrats were stained with greed.
“Your Majesty the King. I don’t think there is any need to question the hero of the war any more.”
“I think the same. Roman Dmitry is the only one on the southern front to defeat Hector’s kingdom. If he decides it is right to realign forces, we need to trust the judgment of the field.”
they added.
It was clearly a remark disrespecting Daniel Cairo.
I was used to it.
Daniel Cairo suppressed his anger with the most calm expression on his face.
“All right. I won’t ask any more. Roman Dmitry. Cairo’s main force will arrive soon. However, since the Hector Kingdom has already completed preparations for the fortress in the rear camp, we will attack the enemies after completing sufficient preparations. Then join the main force and help them.”
[Sorry, but time is not on our side.]
“What do you mean?”
Roman’s remarks.
He gave me a questioning look.
The moment Hector’s kingdom tucked away in the rear camp, Roman thought of a possibility.
[It will be three days at the most since the main force arrives in Cairo. If the rear camp is not destroyed within it, it is certain that the Hector Kingdom will attract external forces such as the ‘Cronos Empire’.]
That means.
It was enough to shock people.
* * *
Hector Kingdom.
They were driven to the brink.
Still, the war did not give up.
They quickly destroyed the defensive positions of the southern front and chose to fight desperately in the rear positions.
‘What is the best and worst that the enemy can choose?’
Yeokjisaji (易地思之).
Think from the other person’s point of view.
As for Hector’s kingdom, it would be ideal if Cairo willingly agreed to the negotiations, but due to his own existence, that was virtually impossible.
Through the radio, Roman uncovered Hector’s kingdom’s ulterior motives.
Hector Kingdom would have no choice but to think of the worst and needed a solution after the negotiations broke down.
The threats Edwin Hector spoke of.
Throwing the necromancer’s poison and leaving the southern lands in ruins is not the right way.
The way for Hector’s kingdom to survive.
There was only one.
[The purpose of the Hector Kingdom’s plan for this war is to solve the country’s difficulties. Neither do they hold a grudge against the Kingdom of Cairo, nor do they wish to occupy the southern lands. Rather, if the land they have to manage increases, the burden on the country will only increase. Hector’s kingdom is in trouble. However, if they choose to fight against their will, you can know that they want to get a clear result from their situation.]
Hector’s Star.
He is not one to go about things without a plan.
If he risked his life to remain on the southern front, it would be because the choice was worth it.
[A warp gate is installed in the rear camp to teleport a large number of people. Warp Gate is a very convenient magic civilization, but it can be used for war, so it must be destroyed in case of emergency. The southern front has lost its warp gates in a surprise attack. What do you think would happen if Hector Kingdom made a deal with the Cronus Empire in exchange for the Warp Gate? The Kingdom of Hector will be able to obtain the rewards it was looking for from us, and the Cronus Empire will secure another base from which to press the Kingdom of Cairo starting from the southern front.] “
… this.”
I was in shock.
Daniel Cairo’s expression turned pale.
no way.
I never thought I would take such an extreme method.
I thought the Cairo Kingdom was clearly an advantageous fight, but an unexpected variable took my breath away.
“Then what are we to do?”
The gaze was focused.
When everyone is sure of victory.
Roman Dmitry was the only one who predicted a variable.
With this war as an opportunity, the leaders fully acknowledged Roman and focused their attention on every word he said.
Roman said.
[There is only one way.]
War is simple.
at last.
[The right attack method. All you have to do is capture the rear camp within 3 days.]
All problems will be solved the moment you destroy your opponent.
* * *
Roman’s prediction was correct.
Edwin Hector, who took control of the southern front, immediately contacted the Kronos Empire.
“I will tell you directly. We want to sell the Southern Front of the Kingdom of Cairo to the Kronos Empire. As you know, the heart of the southern front is the warp gate in the rear camp. We have it intact and we are willing to sell it for a reasonable price.”
warp gate.
It is the essence of magic.
The warp gates installed by Edwin Hector for a surprise attack are low-grade warp gates that can accommodate a small number of people, while those on the southern front are high-grade warp gates that require considerable time and money to install.
if you occupy it.
As Roman explained through magic communication, the Kronos Empire can press the Cairo Kingdom by securing a base on the Southern Front as well as the Western Front.
[…] … That’s a very attractive proposition.]
Beyond the screen.
Count Hadid, a member of the Kronos Empire, laughed.
[However, I cannot accept Hector’s offer right now. The Kingdom of Cairo will struggle to reclaim the southern front. Securing the southern front is good, but wouldn’t we have to bear the full wrath of it? If you wish to do business with us. Please prove that you have completely occupied the rear positions for about a month. If the rear camp does not collapse for a month, we will accept the deal with Hector Kingdom and give you a ‘price’.]
Cronus Empire.
they were wicked
It would be beneficial to accept the offer right now, but I led the situation to get the maximum benefit.
even knowing that
As Hector Kingdom, there was no other way.
“… Accept the offer. one month later. We will contact you again.”
Took.
Communication was cut off.
It was an expected result.
He did not think that a giant like the Kronos Empire would move as smoothly as Hector Kingdom wished.
Edwin Hector said.
“Jackson.”
“yes.”
“Contact Hector’s royal family right now. The current power cannot last for a month. We have to link the warp gate of Hector Kingdom with the warp gate of the rear camp to secure manpower and materials to last for a month.”
“All right.”
Cairo kingdom.
They will also attack the rear positions with all their might.
I prepared for siege weapons like flares in advance, but that wasn’t enough to last a month.
The greater the distance, the more difficult the link becomes.
3 days minimum.
If you buy time to link with Hector’s warp gate, you will be able to survive on the edge of the cliff.
‘This war. It is a fight that must not be lost. I will definitely return to Hector’s Kingdom with hope.’
royal family name.
Edwin Hector calmly accepted the heavy burden.

Just ten days.
The scheduled time has arrived.
Cairo’s main force, which arrived on the southern front, could not hide their anger at Hector’s flag fluttering in the distance.
“Damn you guys.”
“How dare you plant Hector’s flag on the territory of Cairo. I will surely tear you to death.”
commander of the main unit.
It was Count Fabius.
He set up a base where he could see the rear camp and called the leaders to the commander’s barracks.
Leaders arriving one after another.
However, even when they saw Count Fabius, they were not very polite.
‘It’s just that the figures of the central government go directly to the southern front in a war with little practical benefit. It must mean that he has a great desire for Roman Dmitri. This war is not a fight whose only purpose is to destroy Hector’s kingdom. At the same time, securing Roman Dmitri’s heart is also important.’
that too.
He was the Marquis of Benedict.
Baron Thales, who sat on the right, was from the Kronos Empire, and Baron Brahim, who sat on the left, was from the Valhalla Empire.
out-of-field warfare.
They have a special mission.
He hoped to convince Roman as much as possible to make him on his side.
said Count Fabius.
“His Majesty King Daniel consulted with Roman Dmitri after he joined and gave the order to destroy Hector’s kingdom. Please wait a moment. The meeting will begin after he arrives.”
“All right.”
An awkward silence lingered.
how much time has passed
A soldier’s voice was heard outside.
“Roman Dmitri has arrived.”

The door is open.
Hero of the Southern Front.
Roman Dmitry, the protagonist of this conference, caught people’s attention.
