The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 91
Chapter 91 Ghost Shadow (1)
Silence lingered in the meeting room.
Remarks by The Earl of Denver.
beyond common sense
Daniel Cairo said in a rather weak voice.
“… I admit that Roman Dmitri is a great prosecutor. Defeating Homer at the age of only 20 and proving that he is a 3-star swordsman is a blessing from the Kingdom of Cairo. But don’t the people gathered here know that well? The fact that Roman Dmitri can’t influence the general trend in any way.”
The four factions of Cairo.
The reason they want Roman is because of the value of the future.
Since he achieved 3 stars at a young age, everyone is rushing to recruit Roman, but if you simply compare the current force, there are many people stronger than him.
That is to say.
Against Hector’s kingdom, Roman Dmitri was nothing.
Roman’s plan to create a division inside seemed nothing but a young bloody guest who had not yet experienced the world properly.
As much as this time.
The Marquis Benedict also sided with the king.
“I think the same. Roman Dmitry is the future of Cairo. It is more important to minimize the damage to the kingdom with wise judgment than to lose talent in one’s country for nothing. Anyway, hasn’t the southern front already fallen to Hector’s kingdom? It’s a fight we lost from the start.”
It was a realistic decision.
furthermore.
Roman Dmitri is the target Marquis Benedict hopes to recruit.
I couldn’t let him die like this.
Since I had laid enough groundwork from the southern training center, I was thinking of recruiting as soon as I could solve my defense obligations.
It was an operation that everyone opposed.
No one would support the Earl of Denver based on the information that surfaced.
‘How do I do this?’
The Earl of Denver swallowed a laugh.
This is the information that was able to preoccupy the rankings.
The truth would turn the tide, but the Earl of Denver had no reason to do so.
Even if Cairo’s blood flows.
His spirit was in Valhalla.
“If everyone’s opinion is like that, I won’t force myself to do anything. However, I don’t think it’s necessary to give Hector Kingdom what he wants first, even though he has three days. It’s just 3 days. We move our troops in preparation for a ‘war’, but if there is no change in the southern front within three days, how about accepting the Hector Kingdom’s request?”
It was a compromise.
Edwin Hector gave three days.
A time when you can never turn the tide of the battle even though you think about it enough.
The Earl of Denver bet on him.
If meaningful results were produced in such a short time, the value of Roman had to be judged once again.
It’s not just a 4 star test.
A monster worth more than that.
Was it because he thought the Count of Denver’s proposal was reasonable?
Daniel Cairo, who had been thinking for a while, nodded with a dark expression.
“… accept or reject the offer. We need time. As of now, the Kingdom of Cairo will prepare both options: war with the Kingdom of Hector and negotiations.”
Just be prepared for any contingency.
Everyone except the Earl of Denver accepted the fact that the fight was over from the moment the warp gate was occupied.
In a nutshell.
There will be no miracles.

That time.
Henry Albert seemed to be going crazy.
‘Damn it.’
Even if it’s only when I go out on the road along Roman.
Henry Albert’s chest was filled with unfounded confidence.
I felt confident that I could overcome any danger with Roman, who had slaughtered countless enemies.
But what is this?
Things went wrong from the start.
With poor stamina, he could not keep up with Roman’s troops, and he got lost shortly after starting.
and.
Henry Albert faced reality when he finally arrived at the southern training camp in search of traces.
‘It’s fucked up.’
The sight before my eyes was ghastly.
The place where they lived peacefully not too long ago became a mess, and corpses with familiar faces were scattered everywhere.
Roman Dmitry was nowhere to be seen.
It was a moment when my mind became complicated.
At the ominous thought that Roman Dmitri might have been attacked, he hastily turned away.
“Retreat to the first line of defense.”
The heroic psychology has long since disappeared.
What was needed now was safety.
A fence that can protect oneself from the enemies who destroyed the Southern Training Center.
The sight that greeted Henry Albert who hurried his steps was the image of the first line of defense already collapsed and burning.
“… oh my god.”
My mind went blank.
actually.
He had no idea the situation was so serious.
Even though the kingdom of Hector attempted a surprise attack, the 5th line of defense was well blocked by Roman’s performance.
As such, he believed that there was hope for other lines of defense.
However, when he confirmed the reality of the 1st line of defense that was burning brightly, Henry Albert collapsed to the ground with trembling legs.
“it’s over.”
1st line of defense.
It is a core position.
If the southern training center was not enough to be attacked and collapsed, there was virtually no hope for this war.
I jumped up from my seat.
Cairo was defeated.
However, he did not have to sacrifice himself.
“Retreat over the mountain right now!”
“Move quickly!”
Judgment was quick.
Southern Mountains.
It was not suitable as an escape route due to the steep mountain conditions, but it was a much better option than being slaughtered after being bruised here.
Henry Albert ran hard until his whole body was drenched in sweat.
Even his soldiers, who were tired of living a comfortable life, couldn’t hide their hardships.
Roman Dmitri’s whereabouts are unknown.
But if he chooses to fight.
Being left on the southern front like that was no different from jumping into a fire while holding rice straw.
‘A war hero? I don’t need any fame like that! I have to do something to live for now!’
ran for a while
The surrounding landscape has changed.
In the middle of a grassy mountain.
Judging that he was now much safer from danger, Henry Albert sank his face to the ground and caught his breath.
“Hee hee hee hee.”
‘I lived.’
They’re still fighting down there.
If you cross the mountain, it’s really safe.
the moment you think so.
chuck.
“Shh. Be quiet.”
on his neck.
Someone drew a cold sword.
protagonist of the voice.
He was Chris.
Henry Albert, who had almost peed his pants, let out a sigh of relief as soon as he checked Chris’ face.
The reason Chris aimed his sword.
This was to prevent the voice from leaking out.
After retrieving the sword, Chris took the lead.
“Follow me.”
Is it because of the relief of living?
Henry Albert, who was following Chris, belatedly questioned.
‘… Why is Roman Dmitri’s knight here?’
It was strange.
Roman Dmitry said he was heading to the rear positions.
But why did his knight appear in the middle of the mountain?
I thought it might have something to do with the attack on the Southern Training Center, but it still didn’t make sense.
if you were yourself
He would have fled over the mountain as soon as possible.
Although they had fled far away, they could not yet be said to be safe from the enemy’s pursuit.
how long did it take
Henry Albert’s eyes widened at the scenery around him.
‘what’s this?’
just a few steps
The surrounding landscape has changed.
It was a perfectly prepared camp.
An appropriately sized cover covered the soldiers’ bodies, and a space was provided for them to rest.
It was hard to believe that this was a place built in the middle of a mountain.
If it was this serious, I should have seen it from afar, but when I closed my eyes and opened them, they suddenly appeared in front of me.
It was embarrassing for the soldiers as well.
In response to the reaction of the soldiers looking around, Henry Albert asked as their representative.
“When the hell did you build a hideout like this?”
Chris didn’t stop.
After raising his hand to the guards and conveying that he was not in danger, he answered the question without looking back.
“On the way to the rear camp, we confirmed that the southern training center was attacked. The main army judged that the rear position had already collapsed and immediately climbed the mountain to build a secret position.”
“Then we must run over the mountain immediately! Why did you stay here?”
tall.
I stopped walking.
Chris turned to Henry Albert and gave him a look of slight disgust.
“The war is not over yet. The reason we remain here is to protect our allies like Henry and to slay the enemies coming up the mountain. Mountains are a great place to take on a lot of enemies with a small number of people. If Henry had been Hector’s man, the sword that was aimed at his neck would have cut off his throat.”
It was a brutal statement.
mouth went in
There is a wall of status between Chris and Henry Albert, but I couldn’t treat it carelessly because I saw them fighting.
Roman and his soldiers.
Everyone was a monster.
In particular, Chris showed outstanding fighting skills to the extent that it could be said that he stood out.
‘How does the Dmitri family have these monsters?’
swallowed the question
Then he asked a question that must be confirmed.
“… Where is Dmitry Roman? I haven’t seen you since before.”
It’s already deep in the truth.
Still, Roman was nowhere to be seen.
to that question.
Chris said quietly.
“Your lord is directly dealing with the enemies in the forefront.”
Henry Albert’s face turns pale.
It was as expected.
Roman Dmitry.
he was crazy
* * *
The victory or defeat of the war is directly connected to a clear conclusion.
death of the loser.
Shortly after the first line of defense was broken, the troops fleeing from it suffered a one-sided slaughter by their pursuers.
Awesome!
“Cheer.”
“Ouch!”
There was no way to survive.
Being attacked from all sides, Cairo’s soldiers struggled, but fell one after another screaming in merciless hands.
Edwin Hector nailed the need for many captives.
It was judged that many prisoners were rather dangerous as they had to swallow the entire southern front in a short time.
massacre.
Blood and death abounded.
Brandt, who was one of the adjutants of the 1st line of defense, could not hide his pale expression as the troops rapidly dwindled.
‘도날드 이 개새끼.’
before being attacked.
Brandt witnessed the scene where Count Donald was contacted by Roman.
If only I had listened to Roman at that time.
The worst would have been avoided.
Mercury was chosen as an unfounded airship, and the first line of defense faced the end of being captured without being able to hold out for a while.
‘The Hector Kingdom has prepared everything. From surprise attacks to capturing rear positions and flares. This is a fight we can’t win. Roman Dmitri must have said that he wanted to run away to the mountains. I mean, it was for guerrilla operations, but that meant abandoning the southern front.’
I didn’t mean to say cowardly.
that’s the right decision
At the cost of their carelessness, the southern front was occupied by the rear gate, and from that moment on, the outcome of the war was already decided.
crushing defeat.
A fishy taste lingered on the tip of my tongue.
It wasn’t even blood, but the smell of blood was enough to make my nose tingle.
puck!
right beside.
The soldier’s face fell to the ground.
When a spear pierced the back of the soldier’s head, Brandt instinctively swung his sword at the enemy.
sudden!
“… !”
short hair difference.
The attack failed.
Brandt’s whole body gave goosebumps when he met the angry gaze of the man who appeared to be a knight.
‘This far.’
The attack action was too great.
I knew it from the moment the first line of defense collapsed.
The fact that all the troops on the southern front, including himself, would not return alive.
gritted it
The moment to accept death and make a final counterattack.
Awesome!
Pooh.
Blood spattered.
Hector’s knight’s head floating into the sky.
A man with dark hair suddenly appeared in Brandt’s astonished gaze.
