d since it was a fight within the same kingdom, if the commander was taken care of and the soldiers surrendered, most likely, they wouldn’t come back to fight for revenge.
However, they were now dealing with the soldiers of Hector.
Even if their commander had died, they still belonged to the Hector Kingdom and hence would fight until the end.

And honestly, surrender wasn’t even allowed in wars between nations.
Thus, even if their arms were ripped off, it was absolutely necessary to deal with the enemies now that they had gained momentum.
Being on the opposite side was enough reason to be cruel in war.

And when the soldiers of Cairo saw Roman continuing to slaughter his enemies without showing the slightest mercy, all of the soldiers cheered, “Follow Roman Dmitry!”

“Kill all the remnants of Hector!”

They blocked the exit.
Hector’s soldiers were now cornered.
Finally, they understood that they couldn’t get out of here alive.

By the time Henry Albert arrived, the tide of war had already turned.
When he heard the report, it was clearly stated that the Fifth Defense Line was on the verge of collapsing, but the scene in front of him was different from that.

“…T-This is!”

Outside the fortress, a one-sided massacre was going on.
Cairo’s soldiers, who were taking advantage of the current situation, attacked the enemy with faces that made them look like they were possessed by devils.


How did this happen?

He couldn’t understand it at all.
Nevertheless, he became certain of one thing—Roman Dmitry’s presence stands out even in fierce battles.

‘This is how powerful Roman Dmitry is.’

He truly had an overwhelming presence.
Hector’s soldiers, who were cornered, tried to rush in without any fear, but the moment they got close to Roman, they died without even being able to swing their swords.
Their numerical advantage felt literally meaningless.
No matter how much they rushed in, they only died.

Henry had seen Rankers fight before.
Even then, he thought that Rankers were people on a whole different level.
Nevertheless, those he had seen glorified now seemed like trash in front of Roman Dmitry.
When he had heard that Roman was someone who had defeated Homer at the age of 25, he thought he must have some weakness, but now that he saw him fighting with his own eyes, he realized that the rumors didn’t even do justice to how strong he truly was.

Also, Roman’s soldiers couldn’t be said to be weak as well.
In particular, Chris, Kevin, and Pooky showed power that a normal soldier could never have.
Now he understood why they were different from the news.
It was due to the variable known as Roman Dmitry.

’…I can finally see why uncle told me to get on the good side of Roman Dmitry.’

He gulped, knowing his uncle was right.
Him being born as a commoner didn’t matter.
He became certain that Roman Dmitry was a monster who would devour the entire Cairo Kingdom one day.

Henry shouted at the soldiers behind him, “Help Roman Dmitry right now! Do not let the bastards of Hector run away! And make sure to stay next to Roman!”

Henry finished giving his orders.
Then, he began to follow his soldiers right from the very back.

Finally, all things on the Fifth Defense Line were sorted out.
Hector’s soldiers didn’t fight to the end.
When the fear of annihilation engulfed them, some of them abandoned their colleagues to run away.
Obviously, most of them died while running away.
Roman followed most of them to the very end and killed every single one he could see.
Still, there was no way for him to kill so many enemies who were running in different directions at the same time.

And when the battle ended, Chris ran toward Roman.

“Chris and 30 others.
No fatalities.”

It was a fierce battle, yet no one had died.
Still, that didn’t mean everyone was safe.
Everyone basically had at least one wound, but Roman could also see those who had blood dripping and red flesh through the armor.
Still, no one groaned even a single time when moving.
Henderson, in particular, was unfamiliar with large-scale battles, but he kept his mouth shut despite being soaked in sweat.

“You all did a good job.
Use potions to heal the wounds.”

“Yes.”

There were no special thanks.
Nevertheless, this alone was enough.


And Steven, who was close by, couldn’t help but be shocked.

’…He’s giving potions to soldiers?!’

Healing potions were produced in Magic Towers and costed an enormous sum of money even when they were bought in the least quantity.
However, Roman had casually told his soldiers to use such expensive things.
At first glance, he could see that they were at least intermediate or high-level potions, but the soldiers still poured the entire vials onto their wounds.

Chik!

Along with a burning smell, the wounds healed quickly.

Now Steven finally seemed to understand why the soldiers followed Roman Dmitry so blindly.

‘He has overwhelming strength, a daring judgment, and he is not a cheapskate to his men.
The trust between Roman Dmitry and his soldiers isn’t something that was formed just now.
Because he has such a character, even if he jumps into the pit of fire, they would follow him down.’

His admiration was brief.
It was because, soon, Roman turned toward him and said, “You must gather the soldiers and prepare for a second attack.
And I need to see soldiers who know the terrain of the Southern Front.”

“…You want to leave right now?”

“The war hasn’t ended just yet.
Even now, while we have found a little peace, the soldiers of Cairo are dying elsewhere.”

The war had just started, and this was only a single victory.
It didn’t mean they had won the war.

Roman looked at him with fierce eyes, “I have no intention of watching the Hector Kingdom trample this land.
Until I have killed all the soldiers of the Hector Kingdom who have stepped into our land, I will not stop.”

He was stunned the moment he heard those words.
Obviously, Cairo was at a disadvantage right now.
Because of the surprise attack from Hector, the Cairo Kingdom had already lost the momentum in the war.
Nevertheless, for some reason, Steven felt the man who was standing in front of him could truly make something out of the current situation.

Roman shouted to his soldiers, “I will give you 10 minutes.
Make sure you are fully prepared to move.”

“Yes!”

Roman’s soldiers were ready to follow his orders.

Therefore, only 2 hours after the war had started, the Fifth Defense Line was doing well in its defense.
And that was the first variable the Hector Kingdom hadn’t expected.
And it was also the starting point for another variable.

Editor’s Thoughts: This was such an awesome chapter! So, the knights weren’t able to do anything much to Roman lol.
Also, the action scenes were well done.
Roman giving high-level potions to his soldiers is so sweet though! And it seems Roman will go and start another slaughter soon enough.
