Dragon Poor

A dead soldier rises up with a screech and heads over to the dark tent. The tent swallows the soldier as he approaches. Soon after, a skeleton soldier who had melted all his flesh and remained bones protruded from beyond the tent.

Such sights happened everywhere. It was natural that there were no bodies.

[The Wizards are finishing preparing and awaiting permission to shoot!]

[Permission denied! Don't wizards have eyes? If you don't use magic now, the line will be broken! Tell them to shoot big!]

[But if you don't, your soldiers will!]

[Asshole! We're gonna die trying to save those bastards!]

The middle-aged commander shouted with a solemn face, and shortly after, colourful magic spread everywhere.

[damn it! damn it! Don't forgive me! Curse me! I will die as miserable as you, and I will not be able to leave even a corpse, so please comfort me!]

The middle-aged commander cries out in the heat of the explosion. And the magic fades, and the number of horses and lions crawling from beyond the veil decreases significantly.

[The Knights are here!]

[You're early....]

The video disappears as the late knights scatter their glowing swords and slaughter the magical objects.

“This is the limit with the current video recorder. ”

The wizard stepped up to let me know the video was over, and the knight beside him stepped up to explain the situation on the front line.

“The footage you just saw is of a battle recorded in southern Astoria by the 67th Infantry Regiment of the Empire dispatched to the Middle East for support of Iberia. 624 out of 1,942 members of the 67Iron Armored Forces were killed in this battle. There are only a few casualties because all of them are dead. ”

“There are other videos available. This is a video of a joint battle between the 59th Infantry Regiment of the Empire and the Royal Infantry Regiment of the Kingdom of Tennessee. ”

The wizard demonstrated another video. The scene, not so different from the video I just saw, opened up again in front of my eyes.

“1,300 of the 1,612 Royal Infantry regiments in Tennessee were killed, and 482 of the 59th Iron Infantry regiment in the Empire were killed. ”

There were a terrible number of casualties, but there was something even worse.

“All this fighting has happened in just two hours. ”

Regular infantry, the elite of each country, were hit by destruction in just two hours.

“That veil surrounding Astoria Church is usually rigid and has nothing to do with it. unless, of course, you make direct contact with them. But sometimes those curtains change with tears. And the curtain, which had been so flowing, lasted for two hours. Sometimes it changes three times a day, sometimes it stays quiet for a few days. That's when the veil changes dangerously. Spills pour out from the tent, which has turned into tears. On the front, each one is numbered and called a Wave. ”

The knight adds a note about Tum for a moment.

“All the footage you just saw is the first wave. From the second wave, there are even more ferocious devils coming out of the video. On the third wave, there were also large swarms of noble horses. ”

“Then why didn't you record the second wave and the third wave? Wouldn't it be better for them to know the situation on the front? ”

When an old man in the meeting room asked, the knight who explained it said with a stiff face.

“The troops that stopped more than the second wave have been wiped out. There were very few survivors, but no video recorder was obtained. ”

The atmosphere of the meeting room, which was so heavy, sank even heavier.

“To date, 4,800 of the 24,000 allies who have gone to Iberia have died. This Hall of the entire contingent has been dead for just two weeks, and the damage is still accumulating at this very moment. ”

“Hurrah! Your cavalry is out in the open looking for blood! ”

“I think we should take over the troops right now. ”

The knight replied a little loudly as the nobles struck out.

“The Federation of the Central Kingdom, which has been rebuilt around Park Jun-min the Warrior, has asked for even greater support. ”

Referring to the warrior Park Jun-min, the gaze of the nobles turned to one place at a time. There was Kim Sun-hyuk who had a stiff face.

“Once the meeting is over, the wizard stays. ”

The nobles hesitated when Ophelia ordered the meeting to be disbanded because she was unwell.

“Do you really need a wizard for that? ”

“That's not it. With this Magic Stone over here, you can use it a few times without a wizard. ”

“Then leave the clips and the magic stones behind. ”

Even the wizard left and was left alone in the conference room.

He remained alone and looked at the record-keeping video several times until the end of the night.

The fluttering black veil seemed to be alive, and I could feel the wickedness of the Western Borat Heaven could not be compared with the visual.

[Sir, I'm embarrassed that the hostile is doing this again, and I'm sorry to you. I really can't do this on my own. Please help me just once.]

Before the video recorder arrived, the warrior Park Jun-min asked for a direct communication. At that time, the warrior discusses that he cannot prevent the disaster at the church alone, and asks him for help.

“I'm sorry, Joon-min. Now I want to rest too. ”

He refused the invitation of the warrior. The warrior was very disappointed, but did not try to persuade him.

[That's a lot of work you've done. It's a little hard to leave everything to your brother every time. Okay, brother. I'll take care of this. Don't worry too much. My niece was born and I can't go. That's too bad.]

“Thank you for understanding, and I'm sorry. ”

[You're welcome. I'll try my best not to fail even without you. I'll get back to you in a few days.]

However, Joon-min Park, who said he would contact us, has only been told that the damage to the defense vessels surrounding the Church is increasing to an unbearable extent.

And today, Kim Sun-hyuk was able to see the battles on the front in detail.

“Whew.”

Finally, the Magic Stone's lifespan ends, and the video ends. Kim Sun-hyuk, who had been thinking for a long time, left the meeting room.

I lost track of time looking at the battle record. So when I came back to the bedroom, it was already after sunset.

He glances at sleeping Ophelia and carefully lies down beside her.

I couldn't sleep because of the confusion, but I could barely sleep after turning back for a long time. And shortly after he falls asleep, Ophelia opens her eyes.

It was too obvious for the person who just woke up.

She stared at Kim Sun-hyuk for a long time. With a shady face, she caught my sleeping husband and child in her eyes.

“Bye, Victor. You have a good time. Listen to your mother. ”

A child who still can't get along well, who brazenly told me that he was on nothing to listen to his mother, left the bedroom. The worry of the day before was invisible.

“Ha.”

After he leaves, Ofelia sighs.

“My father and I made him a hero, but now I regret it so much. ”

Victorius, who doesn't understand words, doesn't know my mother's troubles, only seeks milk.

Kim Sun-hyuk, who left Ophelia behind and attended the meeting, sought to counteract the disaster in the middle with the nobles.

“For now, we'll hold off any further support from the general troops. The Federation of the Central Kingdom can't blame it on the number of people who have been dispatched to the Middle Kingdom so far because it is already heavier than any other kingdom. ”

No matter how many ordinary soldiers you deploy, you'll only be able to defend the perimeter. To solve the disaster that happened in the church, we had to penetrate beyond the veil and eliminate its source, not stop the veil.

And only superhumans, including knights and wizards, could do their part beyond the curtain.

However, there was too much Empire blood to dispatch superhumans. Even if superhuman power was the most abundant empire on all continents, it could not take unlimited damage, so we had to consider whether superhuman power would be supported for a little longer.

“I heard the seats make people, so it's true. The old Grand Duke would have run to the middle. ”

The late Ranger Reinhardt arrives after the nobles are disbanded and are left alone.

“I never thought the Grand Duke would withhold the Knights' dispatch to preserve the Empire's power. ”

“You don't want me to kill the precious Imperial superhuman as much as you want, and you didn't leave me in charge of the government's operation for a while. ”

Ofelia's sheer trust has left him in a state of awe and made him defensive. The burden of keeping the current situation under wraps until she returns to the front of the court.

“I don't blame you. Honestly, who on the continent would blame the Grand Duke? After all the work the Grand Duke has done, everyone on the continent must bow down before him. ”

Since Lord Reinhardt has worked so hard, he suggested that others take a step back in the future. He also emphasized several times that he was not only a monarch on the continent.

It was an inconsolable consolation.

“Phew.”

I didn't feel any better. I felt like I had a big stone stuck in my chest.

Of course, he didn't look like that in front of Ofelia. When he was with her, he was still a grumpy father, a remarkable husband.

“Victor! Victor! ”

Ophelia's face was complicated to see Kim Sun-hyuk without feeling tired all the time because that little gesture was so strange.

“Grand Duke.”

“Tell me, what do you need? Want to go for a walk?”

Ophelia sighs in an overly cheerful tone.

“Just promise me one thing. ”

His head tilts in unison with her words.

“I'm not gonna get hurt. I'll be back in one piece. ”

“What do you mean…. ”

I asked with a completely stiff face, and Ophelia spoke in a powerful voice.

“Go to the middle. ”

“Ofelia!”

Kim Sun-hyuk was surprised and cried out. She doesn't stop talking.

“Just saying. I've seen enough of my dukes trying to keep their promises. That's enough.So don't hesitate to go to Central anymore.

“What the hell are you talking about! I'm not going! My house is here. Where else would I go? ”

“Grand Duke.”

Ofelia's voice calmed down.

“However, even if you head to the middle, do what the Grand Duke has to do first. ”

“What the hell am I supposed to do...? ”

“Take the final power of the Grand Duke. ”

She raises her hand to the north.

“With dragons, I can also send you peace of mind. ”

“Ofelia.... ”

As he couldn't find a word to say, she pushed him back several times, just looking back at her name.

“By the time the Grand Duke returns, the legions of the Empire and the Eastern Kingdoms will be ready. You know only victory, my knight. Lead them out and bring me another glorious victory. ”
