The Grand Prince Has Run Away

Negotiations with humanity and Kronos ended with no outcome.

The last hope of peace is gone, and humanity and Chronos have now come to their doom before the end to come.

I went to see Armida when she left the meeting.

I had something to say.

“In the end, can't war be avoided? ”

“Yes.”

I replied simply and briefly to Armida's complaint of walking with her. On the one hand, there was survival, and on the other, a divine mission that could never be disobeyed.

This could not have come into contact with a peaceful arrangement.

Armida scratches her head.

“This is crazy.”

“I get it. We're going crazy. ”

Armida stood in front of me and stopped my steps.

“Is there really no path to peace? ”

“You know what?”

“How? ”

“Wait for us to escape this world. According to Savannah, they can all work together for decades. ”

Armida shakes her head.

The path to peace I just offered was the one the Humanity has proposed in its last negotiation.

But Kronos could never listen.

“No. If you've waited decades for God, all of Kronos will perish for innocence on the day God comes. Honestly, it's still pretty late. ”

“Why do you have to wait for God? You could cut it with us. ”

Armida's sister looked very interested in saying that.

If we leave this world with the humans, the Valkyries of Kronos will not be punished by God.

“Oh, yeah? ”

“And to be honest, if you survive and ascend to heaven, you might be sent on another mission, like Savannah." Are you going to keep living like this? Are you going to live the kind of life that kills and kills thousands of people? For an eternity of time. ”

Armida's sister shudders as if she were terrified.

Valkyries live forever.

It means we might have to do this forever.

“Probably not. ”

“That's why Savondia rebelled against Kronos. You can't live a butcher's life forever. ”

“I stand for humanity. ”

I hurriedly silenced Armida, who was about to call for surrender.

I have no idea what I'm thinking now or then.

She is the sister who lives the way she feels.

“Forget it. Your sister needs to stay in Kronos and do something about it. ”

“Are you asking me to spy on you? ”

“No. I want you to work for us and for Kronos. ”

“What's going on? ”

When Armida showed interest, I started to get to the point.

“Tell the Kronos leadership of the Italian conspiracy. ”

“Eteria? What did he do? ”

“I think Italy is trying to kill God. ”

Armida blinks.

“Don't be ridiculous. He wouldn't want to kill God, would he? ”

“No, I do. I can feel it. Itheria must have experienced an era of doom. And in the process, he had a big grudge against God. This all comes from the mistakes and actions of the gods. ”

“It can't be. How much does he admire God? ”

“Acting. I know Italy by heart and by action. He pretends to be God-fearing, but he's actually being disrespectful. ”

I explained the suspicious behavior of Italy.

The fog of the dead, especially in the former kingdom of Bastein, was very rare.

It is because it best describes the situation that Italy despises God.

And I began to notice that the nature of the terroir was different because of this incident.

“Really?"

“Yes. In those days, Italy chose the temple and caused an incident, even though there were a few better candidates capable of procuring the bodies. And then I destroyed it thoroughly enough to leave no trace of the temple standing. You wouldn't do that if you feared God, would you? ”

“Hmm. That's definitely weird. But you also said something weird. ”

“What?”

“Say Itheria has a grudge against God and is willing to kill him. What ability is she, an ordinary Valkyrie, to kill an Almighty God? ”

It wasn't very wrong, so I nodded my head.

In fact, this is why I'm expressing concern in the heart of Italy.

Whether she wants to kill God or not has nothing to do with me, but that way is problematic.

“Of course it is. But there is only one way. ”

“How? ”

“Bring down the gods. And let him crack the dimension. ”

“Do you really want to use chaos and emptiness to kill God? ”

“Yes. It's the only way. ”

“But if God goes back through the coming device, it doesn't mean anything, right? ”

“They won't let me go back. We can drop them off at the altitude of the tonsils, or we can disable the power supply at the descent. ”

Armida's sister quietly snapped her chin.

My words sounded convincing, but they were unbelievable.

“Sister, you're not writing some kind of interrogation, are you? ”

“Italy is just one of a hundred and ten people. I don't think we can keep one of her out of this. I'll make it big if I have to. ”

“Yes, but · · · · · · · · ·. I don't know if Nemisonna will believe me. You know, the fact that Italy is Nemisona's henchman. ”

“Of course, if I tell the enemy, he'll deny it forever. But it would be different if my sister told me. ”

Armida's sister waves.

“Oh, he won't listen to me. Nemisonna hates me so much. ”

“No, you must listen. ”

“How does your brother know that? ”

“The wages of disbelief are God's death. Even the slightest possibility that Nemisona could bear it? At least they'll have safety on. ”

“Well, that's true. ”

Armida's sister shrugged her head as if she only understood.

If Itheria is willing to kill God, as I said, and indeed dies, then she has committed an unbelievable act as Chronos.

Even if Nemisona considers the interior as an ambush, she must not be overlooked.

In fact, the same is true of human history.

Suspicious circumstances and opinions about someone trying to kill the king, and you ignore them? That's ridiculous.

“Then take good care of her. ”

“Got it.”

“And just in case, your sister monitors the area very closely. If you see anything strange, you have to kill it. Okay?"

Armida's sister looks embarrassed.

It seemed to be as reluctant as killing the bacteria.

“Do I have to kill him? ”

“Oh, come on! You can't use brotherhood as much as the italian thing. Kill her or we're all dead. ”

“Okay, okay. ”

“I promise. If you pull a stunt like that, you'll have to kill him. ”

“Oh, don't worry. ”

“Then go. ”

“Yes.”

Soon after, Armida returned to Kronos, revealing to everyone what she had heard from me, and chasing after Italy.

Nemisonan reacted as expected, but eventually he abolished the terroir as I intended.

Even a Valkyrie queen can't defy the blasphemy that endangers God.

It was a pity that he did not go to the execution, but it was a reasonably satisfying result.

There's nothing Italy can do that's locked up in everyone's hands.

But still, the surest defense was to kill her.

Apologies to Grandpa Alfredo, but I thought it would be better to send Italy into the world with my own hands.

Winter has come.

The humankind focused all available power on the Bastian Kingdom's coastal military base against the coming total aggression.

26,000 magical fighters and 2,864 boosters. And 1,732 naval support ships.

It was an enormous amount of power, but not all of them.

Currently, industrial facilities and shipyards all over the continent are constantly producing weapons for Mado.

There was a substantial amount of ground power available here, and there were 36 boosters powered by Savondia and Katrina.

Old Cloud said something to me while he was walking along the coastal road, looking into the power deployment.

“Can we really win? ”

“I don't know.”

I was ready to be full, but I wasn't sure I was going to win.

Chronos wasn't strong enough.

In Kronos, there were two Valkyrie queens, a fleet of over 170 buoyancies, and more than the heavenly city of Kronos.

When the power-to-power situation came, it was almost impossible for humanity's current forces to defeat them.

“Does that mean we can't win? ”

“Not really. If you do well, you can win. ”

The reason I was able to win some of humanity's victories, even in the wilderness, was because of the 2,800 subsidies that humanity had.

Among these numerous stimuli, less than half of humanity made, and the rest were mount Chronos stimuli carried by Elven agents who had surrendered to the human army.

Now there are only half of the Elven operatives left in Kronos.

This means that the strength of the battle was opposed.

Moreover, the remaining elves were also in a position to pull the trigger on their families.

Never, ever, ever attack the human race.

“Really?"

“And you have a mind. Even though it's invisible, it's also the biggest difference. ”

Although it is not easy to defeat those with a strong force in a universal war, there have been many incidents where a small number of troops have overcome a large number of troops.

There are many reasons, such as differences in quality of elites and weapons, and the mindset of the fighting entity contributes greatly.

For example, in this case.

If a madman in the streets with 100 passersby runs off with a longsword and kills a man, Who's going to win?

Obviously, the result is obvious.

No matter how many passers-by there are 100 people, they run all over the place without even thinking about stopping a homicidal maniac.

The pedestrians are good residents, not murderers.

Likewise.

Humanity's army was trained and raised as killer-instinctive warriors, but the remaining Elven agents in Kronos are technically civil service.

Even if you have a strong faith, your whole body is frozen and you can't move properly at the Passage of Life.

If you say no, you won't need military training.

You don't become a warrior just because you give a sword to an ordinary person.

It takes approximately two years of training for them to be made into one warrior, and at least three to a half months of training is as short as possible.

Of course, we often send soldiers to war with less than a short training period, but this is how we express them.

Arrowheads and meat shields.

However, there are no examples of being reborn as warriors in a very short period of time.

Meat shields survived the battle.

No matter how many times a civilian experiences a battle, he will eventually be reborn as a warrior.

“You're saying it's better to push it all at once. ”

“Well, not exactly. ”

“But even an Elven agent can become a warrior after many battles, right? ”

“But no matter how many warriors you kill, you die. Or get shot by a blind arrow without luck. Of course, the human race is the same, but unlike them, the next one will always come out. ”

“Are you talking about a volume battle? ”

“Yes. Chronos' greatest weakness is the lack of human resources. ”

“But we don't have time. ”

I hold my head back.

The human army couldn't lead the war until next summer.

After that, the likelihood of God's coming is very high.

“But you have to imply it's a volatile battle. ”

“How do you mean? ”

“Is there any other way? Push it hard. Then even for a short period of time, the damage between us will be greater. ”

“Not really.”

“Now, let's start a war. ”

Grandpa Cloud grins.

“It's already begun. I've dispatched troops to a new continent in Kronos. ”

“The death squad?”

“Ground forces, probably on guerrilla ops. ”

“Will you bother Kronos? ”

“They want to destroy humanity. You can't let them sleep with their feet spread out. I'm gonna let you get some sleep. ”

“Well, not bad. ”

I didn't exactly disagree with Old Cloud's operation.

Ground forces won't do much damage to Kronos, but fatigue was also a good strategy.

Soldiers drastically reduce their combat strength when they are tired.

The ground troops weren't very helpful before the final encounter with Kronos anyway, so it was okay to operate this way.
