Hector's Star (2)

1 year ago.

The Ranger's captain, Jackson, remembered the day he had a conversation with Edwin Hector.

Jackson. Hector's kingdom no longer has the strength to withstand it. With Golden Bank's interest pressure increasing day by day, if poor crops repeat next year, the treasury will run out. So I would like to suggest one thing to you. How about taking over the southern front of the Cairo Kingdom with me?"

It was a stupid proposal.

Hector's Star.

Although he knew that Edwin Hector was an unusual person, as rumored, he mentioned the attack on the Cairo Kingdom as if nothing had happened.

his words and actions.

As soon as he nodded his head, the Kingdom of Cairo seemed to fall into his hands.

Even then, of course, he refused.

Even if Cairo was a weak country like Hector, it was impossible to defeat a warring country without bleeding.

2 hours.

It took Jackson to accept the offer.

Hearing Edwin Hector's pre-conceived plan, I knew he wasn't saying it without any basis.

I really didn't know it would be possible.

Hector was rumored to have been cursed by the gods for his continued poor crops, and in order to solve the current situation, he needed an extreme but sure way.

In that sense, Edwin Hector's existence was like a rain of drought.

Hector, who is called the greatest genius in history, was obviously a hero born in turbulent times like fate.

so one year.

The plan was carried out diligently.

A spy was planted and a tunnel was dug in the rear position, and Jackson's rangers succeeded in infiltrating secretly.

Edwin Hector said.

"We have no choice but to win this war. 48 reconnaissance in one year. The Kingdom of Cairo never noticed that we were watching the Southern Front. such they I don't think we'll be able to break through the intentions of our smoke screen and protect the warp gate. What we need is a vigilant attitude. slowly as planned. If we cut off the southern training camp's communications and enter the rear position through the tunnel, the southern front's warp gate will fall into our grasp.

It was like magic.

as planned.

Jackson had the warp gate in front of him.

Whoops!

"Gagging!"

The soldier guarding the warp gate was assassinated in an instant.

Screams were heard everywhere from the simultaneous assassination, and Jackson ran straight to the warp gate without removing the body.

From now on, it was a battle of time.

If they are discovered by the enemy before connecting successfully, they will all be annihilated, but if they succeed, the war will be won.

Hurry.

The technician quickly started working.

It was a mouth-watering time.

If the Cairo Kingdom had straightened its borders.

It would be normal if they had already been discovered, but they were distracted by the news that the front line had been attacked.

finally.

woah ah ah ah.

" succeded!

The warp gate shone brightly.

yet.

Through the blazing white light, Edwin Hector appeared.

one step forward.

I stepped on the ground of Cairo.

Seeing Edwin Hector's red hair fluttering in the wind, the ranger troops knelt in unison.

"I see you, Prince Edwin Hector."

"I see you, Prince Edwin Hector."

His voice swelled with passion.

this operation.

The soldiers of the Ranger unit went out with a single thought that they would give their lives for the kingdom of Hector.

I prepared to shave that much bone, and in the end, it produced the result everyone was hoping for.

It seemed that the war had already been won.

Some soldiers shed tears of emotion, while others proudly spread their shoulders with pride.

But.

Edwin Hector didn't laugh at all.

I walked forward and told Jackson.

"What is the situation?"

"Most of the troops in the rear positions have been dispatched to the front line of defense. As expected, due to Cairo's complex command system, reinforcements had not yet arrived. Now is your chance. If you give me an order, I will completely occupy the rear position."

Cairo Kingdom.

Their quadratic power system created problems even in emergency situations.

The southern front did not send reinforcements for more than two hours after the attack, thanks to which the kingdom of Hector was able to safely capture the warp gate.

From now on, time was on Hector's side.

There was no way for Cairo to send reinforcements, so it was necessary to do things slowly but surely.

"Kellan."

Yes.

The knight who was following came forward.

"I will entrust the first battalion to you. Take care of the remnants of the rear fortifications and build a strong defensive position in case the Cairo Kingdom sends troops to the ground. We cannot predict how long we will spend on the Southern Front. It could be a week, it could be a month, it could be a year. So, you have to be fully prepared for the worst case scenario."

"I take orders."

Kellan retreated.

Some of the soldiers who appeared one after another through the warp gate followed Kellan and moved in a different direction.

Jackson.

"Say it."

"I lost contact with Baron McCleary, who was on the 5th line of defense. Do you know anything?"

"We haven't figured out the exact facts yet, but I don't think we can afford to be contacted because we are in the middle of a battle. You don't need to worry too much. Nowhere else, it's the 5th line of defense. The Cairo commander is famous for having the most problems on the southern front, so it seems that he decided that only a few troops could break the 5th defense."

stand tall.

stopped walking.

Edwin Hector distorted his expression.

"I would have told you not to forcefully attack under any circumstances. is not it?

" Yes.

"As soon as this operation is over. I will punish Baron McCleary separately regardless of his performance. Do you agree?"

"Yes, I agree."

nodded.

Edwin Hector hated going against plans.

But even that.

He did not consider the variable that Baron McCleary would have lost.

I had no choice but to do so.

The 5th line of defense was also the weakest on the southern front, and in many calculations there was no variable there.

Edwin Hector said.

"From now on, all but the 1st Battalion will deal with the remnants of Cairo who are isolated on the Southern Front. The war is not over. Until the flag of Hector is planted on the Southern Front, stay vigilant."

"I take orders!"

even then

The kingdom of Hector was not aware of the existence of the variable.

Not one, but a whopping two variables.

first line of defense.

Fortunately, it survived the crisis.

The enemies took a step back in the fierce counterattack of the Cairo Kingdom, thanks to which they were able to secure room to catch their breath.

"Repair the walls quickly before the enemies attack again! Our lives are at stake! Hurry up!"

Count Donald roared around and shouted.

The wall was in the midst of renovation.

Some of the walls were in a state of collapse due to the enemies scurrying here and there, and especially the gates were almost on the verge of being opened.

It was fortunate that the kingdom of Hector was not greedy.

If they had taken the damage and continued to attack, one of them would have had to fight with the risk of annihilation.

Let's get it sorted out a bit.

Count Donald sighed.

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

The soldier came and said.

"Commander. I got a call from the Southern Training Center."

"Connect."

moved a step

When they arrived at the command room, they were ready to be contacted in advance.

[Count Donald. I am Roman Dmitry, a member of the Reserve Unit of the 5th Defense Line.]

beyond the screen.

There was Roman.

By the name of Roman, Earl Donald pretended to know.

"Why did the youngest ranker in Cairo contact you?"

[I will tell you right away from the main point. The Kingdom of Hector seems to have taken over the warp gate in the rear position using a smoke screen operation. We were isolated on the Southern Front. Before and after being completely isolated from the soldiers of the kingdom of Hector, you must abandon the castle and take refuge in the mountains.]

" what?!

jump

Count Donald rose from his seat.

He barely blocked the attack of the kingdom of Hector, but the warp gate fell into the hands of the enemy.

Dizziness occurred.

It was an unacceptable reality, so Count Donald denied the truth in front of him.

"There is no way that the rear positions have already been captured. And if what you say is true. Isn't it the right decision to not give up on the castle and to become the castle? There is no way to survive in a mountain completely exposed to enemy attacks. So, I will strengthen the defense at the first line of defense."

[Admittedly, I can't stand Hector's attack any longer. Hector's kingdom did not intentionally capture the front line of defense. It's not that they're powerless, they just need some bait to grab attention while attacking the rear positions. Count Donald. Think realistically. Do you really think they did their best?]

Moment.

I was speechless.

Actually, there were a lot of strange things.

Although Hector's kingdom was clearly in an advantageous situation, it suddenly showed an incomprehensible judgment to withdraw its troops.

However.

There was a message that reinforcements from the rear positions were arriving soon.

said Roman.

[Escape to the mountains does not mean to run away. If you stay in the castle, you will be isolated, and you will have no choice but to be unilaterally defeated by the difference in power with the enemy. We must launch a guerrilla operation in the mountains. So that the enemy cannot completely take the southern front. It should be like a thorn in the eye.]

Roman's persuasion was meaningless.

Count Donald has already concluded.

I still can't believe that the rear positions had been taken, but I firmly believed that the castle was safer.

And.

Roman Dmitry could be Hector's spy.

"We will decide for ourselves. Please stop contacting me."

drop.

unilateral notice.

Magical communication ended like that.

The commanders of the other lines of defense were no different.

Their reaction was consistent.

There were some who accepted the fact that the rear positions were occupied and others who did not, but they all said it was impossible to say that the castle should be abandoned.

In their common sense, sex was a safe area.

It was the best option they thought of to sit down to the end in the place protected by the fortress wall.

Only one.

Only Stephen, who is currently guarding the Fifth Line, obeyed Roman's orders.

[I will join you immediately.]

refusal of the commanders.

It was an absurd situation.

It was a situation in which he could not understand even after telling the truth, but as Roman, he expected their reaction.

'If they were war-savvy and understanding people in the first place, they wouldn't have allowed the Southern Front to rot like this. The forces of the front lines of defense are discarded. Forcing them to take them away is suicidal.'

experienced many wars.

Roman realized one thing.

What is scarier than a powerful enemy is that it is an ignorant yet powerful ally.

It was clear why he contacted me even though I knew it.

It was because he belonged to the Cairo Kingdom, and if they listened to him, he could use it strategically.

I just did the bare minimum.

This was it.

Roman didn't forcefully ask for their consent, but neatly confided their existence.

Roman summoned the soldiers.

"Take your luggage. We will go to the mountains from now on."

Yes.

Busy moving soldiers.

From now on, I had to fight a hard and difficult battle.

There was no fear.

In previous lives, there were many worse situations than this, and I was able to rise to the apex because I was victorious each time.

An hour after Roman left.

chuckle.

A group of troops appeared.

Soldiers waving the flag of Hector's kingdom.

They stepped forward, trampling the corpses lying on the floor.

the direction they are heading.

Hector's first objective was the first line of defense.
