In terms of playing cards, even if you get a slightly unfavorable hand, you die right away, and you only bet when you get a strong hand. Thanks to this, despite the overwhelming difference in troops, the Antares army was able to retreat to the east while preserving the majority of its troops.
In the end, the 8th Regiment of the Imperial Army also fell victim to that tactic.
“But even if you do that, the result doesn’t change.”
Sir Lamas was excited for a moment, but he soon regained his composure.
“Thanks to this, there is currently very little damage to our troops. How far do you think he can run away?”
The imperial military system is sophisticated, but at the same time, it is overly standard and conservative. Since he never deviates from his principles, it is also a perfect way to be manipulated by irregular and free tacticians. In fact, other countries ridicule the imperial army’s tactics, calling them ‘desk-crawling tactics.’
However, with this system, the empire has never lost a war, even if it has lost a battle.
A card game where you bet only on safe things. At first glance, this may seem like a foolish act of wasting money.
But what if the stakes here are much higher?
And what if you have many powerful hands that are several times more powerful than the other side?
Those who have a lot do not need to take risks. If you just keep what you have as much as possible and overwhelm your opponent with quantity, you will dry up and die.
It was a useful system because it was an empire with the largest population and national power on the continent, and it was best suited for the strongest nation to remain strong. If it had not been for the miracle of Philanens during the first invasion of the Empire, the Empire would have eventually occupied Crovence and erased Antares from the map.
So Sir Lamas no longer had any attachment to the ranks of refugees.
In any case, even if you miss a refugee in this situation, you will not be punished in any way. Rather, I should have been praised for my judgment in sending scouts at the right time. In fact, other Imperial regiments that were stranded by Auror users were not punished.
He did his best, and it was clear that his best would be accepted by the empire. He didn’t need to worry any more.
“But that would be a pain… … .”
Currently, Sir Lamas was riding his horse towards the mouth of the canyon. It was to collect the body of a dead Kirint. The adjutant who followed also had a serious expression on his face.
“Your Majesty will be angry.”
Although it is the powerful Vastalon Empire, Auror users are truly rare and each one is a treasure of the Empire. Even at his young age, Sir Kirint was one of the strongest men on the continent and was favored by the Emperor as a candidate for the next Sword Master.
Such a person was beheaded on this border… … .
“I can only hope that that wrath does not fall on us… … .”
No matter how sophisticated and rational the imperial system was, it was still something humans did.
In fact, the Imperial Army’s 8th Regiment is not responsible for Kirint’s death, but what about the human mind? Even though there were 5,000 troops, they were unable to protect the precious treasure of the empire, so it is hard to know what kind of punishment will be meted out.
With a worried face, Lord Lamas gestured to the soldiers he had brought.
“Retrieve Lord Kirinth’s body.”
Several soldiers had already brought a coffin, clean wet towels, and wound suture thread to bury the body. After briefly praying to the god Ares, the soldiers were about to approach Kirinth’s body.
“… … “There is no need for a coffin.”
At that moment, everyone, including Lamas, was startled.
It was Kirinth’s voice.
“I am receiving Sayer’s grace… … .”
Everyone froze in place like a stone statue.
Sound was coming out of the fallen neck. Her severed head had its eyes wide open.
“It is not time for me to die yet.”
My body moved. He stands up again, covered in blood, and walks towards the severed head. The sight of a headless body walking across the earth was truly terrifying. Even though it is broad daylight, an eerie chill passes through my body as if it were midnight.
The body grabbed the head.
He placed his head on the severed neck.
The wound healed instantly.
Still covered in blood, but fully revived, Kirinth craned his neck from side to side.
“Hmm, it still feels a little awkward. Still, this is enough… … .”
Lamas trembled and opened his mouth.
“Key, Lord Kirinth?”
With a bitter smile, Kirint nodded to Lamas.
“I have shown you a shameful sight, Lord Lamas.”
The resurrection of a dead person is a miracle that everyone who has lost a loved one dreams of.
But actually seeing that scene is nothing more than horror.
“Uh, are you even undead?”
Kirint slightly raised his finger at Lamas’ wary attitude.
Ugh!
The silver-blue Blade Aura formed on the fingers and glowed.
“Have you ever seen an undead who acts as an auror?”
Aurors are life skills, and using Aurors proves that Kirint is not undead or something, but has definitely come back to life.
“Well, then what?”
Kirint smiled gently at the trembling Lamas and soldiers.
“This is what Sayer did.”
Kirint gestured in the air. His beloved sword, which was a long way away, was blown away by the spirit energy and caught in his hand. Kirint continued speaking in a humble voice as he sheathed his sword.
“In order to bring His will to the world, He placed me, a lowly person, on this earth again.”
At the same time, a faint halo appeared behind Kirint’s head. It was a holy light that made those who saw it instinctively feel holy. Although the holy light appeared and disappeared only for a moment, it was enough.
The soldiers, convinced that Kirint had been resurrected by Sayre’s grace, cried out in emotion.
“Oh my God!”
“Praise be to Sayer.”
Lamas also held Kirint’s hand with a touched face.
“Ah, it seems Sayer is looking down on us.”
“of course,”
Kirint nodded with a gentle face. And then I turned my gaze to the canyon in the distance.
Kirint’s face turned away from Lamas and his group, and his expression became cruelly distorted.
‘Okay, I admit my defeat this time, Cyrus. But Sayer is looking at everything. ‘How can you escape God’s eyes?’

One month after the outbreak of war.
The Principality of Antares lost all its territory west of the Glotene Mountains. Not only the Imperial Army, but also the Grime and Halein Kingdom Army’s morale was so high that it was an enemy they could not handle.
“Sayre is watching!”
“Those who die in this war will enjoy eternal happiness in Sayre’s paradise!”
The name of God, the miracle of God, had tremendous impact. In many places, the Antares army only continued to retreat endlessly. Karzak, where the provisional government was located, also fell into the hands of the enemy, and numerous refugees were driven deep into the rugged Glotten Mountains.
All eyes on the continent were focused on this war. Everyone saw the power of the Three Kingdoms Alliance and had no doubt that Antares would fall this time.
Additionally, Antares’ crisis was continuing beyond the continent’s gaze.
☆ ☆ ☆
“Kill them all, destroy them all!”
“Give glory to Sayer!”
Cries of slaughter echo throughout the huge underground city filled with all kinds of statues, towers, and buildings. Close to hundreds of human warriors in silver light armor move throughout the city, emitting intense flashes of light.
bang! bang! Quack!
Every time a flash of light passes, the building collapses and the tower collapses. Amid the feast of destruction, numerous dwarves tremble and run away.
Grand Forge, the headquarters of the dwarves that have endured for hundreds of years.
In the end, this place could not avoid the human offensive.
The middle-aged man in the lead shouted, swinging his sword.
“Dirty dwarves!”
It was the wise man Brektis, leading the Silver Assassins. Spraying Blade Aura in all directions, Brektis unleashed his ferocious murderous spirit.
“I will cut you down and pay for the humiliation of that day!”
After being captured and taken prisoner by Reppenhardt, Wise Man Brectis was imprisoned in the dungeon of the royal palace, Gairach. And that was the reason he was lucky to survive.
On the day that Sayre’s Atomic Burst blew up the city, Brectis, who was trapped deep underground, was able to avoid the aftermath of the Atomic Burst. Afterwards, he escaped from the collapsed prison and returned to the Silver Sage.
The Silver Sage generously accepted Brektis back after losing his silver storehouse and being defeated by Reppenhardt. Well, rather than being generous, the real reason is that it is so useful that it would be a waste to kill it.
Afterwards, Brektis, who had been on probation, returned to active duty with the return of Sayer. And now, he was leading the Silver Assassins to capture the Grand Forge.
“Kill them all! Their blood will glorify Sayer!”
Under the cries of fanaticism, the Silver Assassins traveled throughout the Grand Forge, causing destruction and slaughter. Armed with powerful artifacts, their magic easily destroyed towers and collapsed buildings, and could easily cut down even dwarf warriors who were said to be able to take on several human knights.
However, the resistance of the dwarves was also formidable.
“every! Everyone, take refuge!”
“Head to the temple while we block it!”
Even at the cost of their lives, the brave dwarf warriors fought hard to buy time against the silver assassin. The city had already been abandoned, but the compatriots had to be saved.
The Temple of Alport located on the outskirts of Grand Forge.
The barely surviving citizens of Grand Forge gathered in the yard and waited for their turn. It was to take the space portal between the warriors and block Eun’s assassins.
“Everyone keep order!”
“If you hurry, everyone will die!”
Looking at the other priests leading the citizens, the old priest Galat had a dejected expression on his face.
“iced coffee… … .”
A city where people have lived for hundreds of years burns down. Graphite vibrates and swirls of dust fill the huge underground cavity.
Human magic was so powerful that more than half of the Grand Forge had already been reduced to a miserable site of destruction, little more than a ruin.
And beyond that, all you see is the screams of your compatriots and the lives of humans.
“Kaaaaak!”
“Why are these dwarves attacking me so persistently?”
“Kill them all!”
Despite the overwhelming power difference, the dwarf warriors persevered. There is no one left who already values their life. He just fought and died to buy a little more time and save at least one more person.
Thanks to this, most of the citizens of Grand Forge were able to escape beyond space. Before we know it, the last citizen enters the space portal, and most of the new building heads towards the portal as well. Now all that remains is Galat and the two old priests.
“Did you avoid everyone?”
“Yes, Galat. Of course, there are still some people remaining in the city… … .”
At least everyone gathered at the temple avoided it. And the enemies were already approaching the temple.
“There is no time to delay!”
Galat and the two old priests stood in a triangle in the center of the temple. Brektis, who was just running, saw them and frowned.
“huh?”
The three old dwarven priests prayed at the same time.
“Al Port! Protect your subjects!”
