The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 83

Roman’s plan was risky. Instead of a clever trick, he wanted to fight straight through the enemy soldiers to put up barbed wire.

*This is crazy,* Stephen thought. He had come up with the idea of the barbed wire, but Roman’s way was too dangerous.

Stephen had to stop him. “It’s too dangerous, Lord Dmitry!” Stephen called out, his voice tight with worry. “Fighting through to the gate is hard enough, but more enemies keep coming! You’ll be cut off! I was wrong about the barbed wire. It’s impossible now.”

Roman Dmitry.

He was a man Stephen had never met before.

But one thing was certain: he had arrived at the scene before the existing reserve forces upon hearing the news that the 5th defense line was in danger.

Stephen could clearly see how hard he had run.

Even with Commander Baron Bruce abandoning the battlefield, the fact that there was an ally like Roman Dmitry was reassuring.

Therefore, Stephen hoped Roman wouldn’t die.

Wouldn’t it be too unfair if someone like Baron Bruce survived, and Roman died in his place?

“I know what you’re worried about. However, I’m not a fool who throws his life away on an impossible operation.”

Whoosh!

An enemy soldier attacked from behind, unexpectedly.

As if Roman had eyes in the back of his head, he easily avoided the attack and thrust his sword into the enemy’s chin.

The enemy soldier trembled.

As Stephen blinked in surprise, a group of soldiers appeared beside him.

“My Lord!”

“Give us your orders.”

Chris and the soldiers were covered in blood, their faces grim and determined. Their eyes burned with a fierce light.

It seemed that no one had died in the process of following Roman, but the blood dripping from their blades showed that they had killed a considerable number of enemies.

They looked like soldiers who had seen many battles, and they trusted Roman completely. Stephen felt a spark of hope.

Roman said, “From now on, we will break through to the castle gates.”

“Understood.”

No one questioned him.

How dangerous the operation was.

What the intention was through the operation.

Without the slightest doubt in Roman’s command, the soldiers showed a firm will to carry out the order.

Blind faith.

Stephen was impressed.

Baron Bruce, whom Stephen had followed, abandoned the battlefield and ran away as soon as the castle gates were smashed, but Roman’s soldiers showed their trust in following Roman Dmitry to the end.

Stephen couldn’t understand how Roman built such strong loyalty. It was amazing.

Roman went ahead.

Seeing that they still hadn’t come to their senses, Roman said one last time. “Stay sharp. This fight is far from over.”

With those words, Roman moved like a whirlwind, his sword a blur. Enemies fell before him like wheat before a scythe.

Blood sprayed like rain, painting the ground red.

Following Roman, his soldiers followed without hesitation.

“Ah!”

Stephen belatedly came to his senses.

Stephen knew he had to help Roman succeed. He had to do his part.

“Second squad, follow me! From now on, you will move the emergency barbed wire with me!” Stephen shouted at the top of his lungs.

From now on, it was his turn to risk his life and fulfill his role.

Before leaving for the southern front, Roman was lost in thought.

‘Do I need to take risks for this country that I have no patriotism for?’

Southern Front.

According to the information, the Hector Kingdom was clearly sending signals of war.

The foreign power, the Valhalla Empire, read the signals and warned Roman, but the Cairo Kingdom was completely unaware of what situation they were in.

It was a pathetically stupid group.

In order not to repeat the past history of suffering from foreign invasion, they had to keep their wits about them, but the central government, torn into four, could not make the right judgment.

Frankly speaking, Roman could not be called a person of the Cairo Kingdom.

Having lived his whole life as Baek Jung-hyuk, there was no reason for him to have great patriotism for the country called Cairo.

‘There are many ways to avoid war. If I join hands with Marquis Benedict, I will be exempt from the duty of national defense, and there is also a way to side with the strong, following the Valhalla Empire. War is ultimately a game where those without power have no choice but to be sacrificed. Now that my value has been recognized in the Cairo Kingdom, I have gained the privilege of being a strongman.’

Unknown world.

What dangers lurked on the battlefield, he did not know.

However, Roman’s worries did not last long.

‘I can’t bow my head to avoid the danger in front of me, or make a promise to be on their side.’

Previous life.

Baek Jung-hyuk had formidable older brothers above him.

Among them, there were even those who were great enough to encroach on the eldest son’s territory, but they could not escape the shadow of the eldest son with a single compromise.

Ordinary people might say that it’s just a compromise.

But that was a very important factor in determining will.

Legs that have not knelt can stand firm until the end, but from the moment they kneel once, the body remembers the comfort of acceptance.

Benedict.

Valhalla.

Chronos.

And the royal family.

The four forces that divided Cairo all looked to Roman, but Roman had no intention of giving them a definite answer.

To the extent that they could not ask for a favor that crossed the line.

Roman was going to solve the reality that faced him on his own.

From the beginning, he knew that any instance of bowing to someone would be poison, as he had the goal of reigning.

Also, he wanted to remain Dmitry, as Dmitry.

‘I’m leaving for the southern front.’

He made a decision.

Difficult background?

The reality of a weak country?

He didn’t care about those conditions.

The existence of the Heavenly Demon was born in an even more difficult situation, and in the end, he made everyone kneel and reached the summit.

Rather, his blood was boiling.

Life on the battlefield.

He missed it.

Didn’t the endless era of peace in his later years cause a strong thirst?

Thus, Roman rushed towards the enemy camp.

It was already a battle with a thick pall of defeat.

Hector’s soldiers were constantly pouring in through the completely opened gate, and Cairo’s soldiers were completely overwhelmed and were busy retreating.

The difference in power was extreme.

In a situation where one Hector soldier was facing two or three, the area around the gate had already been reduced to a den of the Hector Kingdom.

Everyone knew that the battle was over.

Unlike the soldiers who were trying to get as far away from the gate as possible, Roman turned his back on them and rushed towards the enemies.

Squish!

The chests of the five enemy soldiers who rushed in first split open at the same time.

Roman was covered in the blood that was scattered in the sky, and he dug into the space teeming with enemies.

It was a situation that was too dangerous by common sense.

In a situation where he was isolated in the enemy camp, Hector’s soldiers tried to attack from all sides, but Roman did not allow even attacks coming from blind spots.

‘Right.’

Whoosh!

A spear passed by his side, stirring up the wind.

Roman grabbed the spear shaft and pulled the opponent towards him, then cut off the neck of the soldier who had been dragged along.

And then, he immediately charged forward and attacked the enemies.

Crack!

It was an overwhelming sight.

He clearly raised his shield to block it, but the Hector soldier’s upper and lower body split in opposite directions, like a shield that was split in two.

The surrounding enemies’ counterattacks did not work.

Roman continued to advance while deflecting or blocking the enemies’ attacks, and when Roman tried to attack, death always followed.

When he killed ten, Hector’s soldiers rushed in, trusting each other.

When he killed twenty, they realized that the opponent was stronger than they thought.

But when he slaughtered over thirty, forty, and at some point over fifty people, their expressions were filled with fear.

“Ugh!”

“Stop, stop that guy somehow!”

It was a mess.

A single man.

Because of Roman’s rampage, Hector could no longer push in.

The soldiers who bravely rushed in had already become cold corpses, and Roman was still not satisfied and continued to kill enemies without stopping.

It wasn’t just the power of Aura.

Roman didn’t even properly unleash his Aura, but he showed martial prowess that surpassed an Aura swordsman.

Baek Jung-hyuk.

He learned how to kill people from the time he had no power.

Baek Jung-hyuk was the one who smashed the opponent’s head with a stone, and did not hesitate to use any means or methods if necessary.

From the bottom to the top, he experienced all kinds of hardships.

Now that he had even obtained absolute power, ordinary soldiers could not stop Baek Jung-hyuk.

A massacre.

The situation of being isolated alone was not important.

Just as a flock of sheep cannot subdue a single wolf, Roman unilaterally massacred the enemies as if it were too natural.

It wasn’t just that.

The soldiers who arrived following Roman were also completely different beings from ordinary soldiers.

If one Hector soldier faced two or three Cairo soldiers, Roman’s soldiers showed skillful combat abilities, easily facing five or six people alone.

The situation was reversed.

Only 30 people.

The reserve forces were a small number compared to the whole, but the atmosphere was gradually changing due to their performance.

And that situation, Hector’s commander was watching.

Hector’s commander, Baron McCleary, who was in charge of the attack on the 5th defense line, was confident of victory when he broke through the castle gates.

“Tsk tsk tsk, pathetic fellows.”

It was funny.

Hector did not send all of its forces.

Only some of the troops were sent to the 5th defense line, but the Cairo Kingdom had been so complacent that it could not withstand even this level of attack.

The spaced-out response of not firing arrows even when the enemy was approaching, and the defensive weapons that did not even work properly showed that The Cairo Kingdom was a war-torn country, but it was ridiculously pathetic.

‘Unlike expected, we may be able to destroy the 5th defense line first.’

The original plan didn’t matter whether they won or lost.

It was meaningful just to attack, but the Cairo sandcastle collapsed on its own.

Anyway, all five defense lines had to be in his grasp.

If he could get such results just by testing the waters, Baron McCleary had nothing to lose.

“Attack! Completely destroy the 5th defense line!” He made a decision.

It was a golden opportunity.

He was convinced that he could destroy the defense line as it was.

At first, his intentions worked.

The soldiers who were pushing into the castle seemed to be occupying the interior, but at some point, a strange sight began to unfold.

“R, run away!”

“Retreat!”

“Aaaargh!”

Hector’s soldiers came out of the road.

Seeing them retreating with pale faces, Baron McCleary checked the battlefield with a bewildered expression.

He still couldn’t properly confirm what was happening.

The soldiers were coming out, but from a distance, it didn’t seem like there were many Cairo soldiers facing them.

‘What on earth is going on?’ A question arose.

It was then that the soldiers fell out.

A space opened up, and a figure was seen fighting while surrounded by enemies.

“……!” That was a truly overwhelming sight.

A Cairo swordsman was unilaterally massacring Hector’s soldiers.

At that moment, Baron McCleary made eye contact with the man.

A terrifying gaze that made him gasp for breath.

The moment he thought it was a mistake to make eye contact because of the distance, the man suddenly rushed towards him.

Blood splattered.

The heads of those who blocked him flew away.

He closed and opened his eyes.

Even in that short time, the man was quickly getting closer.

‘Don’t tell me he’s going to kill me?’

No.

That couldn’t be possible, because that was an impossible thing by common sense.

“Kill that guy before he rampages any further!”

“Yes, sir.”

Hector’s knights stepped forward.

Even then, Baron McCleary still believed that he was safe.
