War is just around the corner.
The tension on the Western Front had reached a point where no other expression could be expressed, and this sharp atmosphere was slowly spreading beyond the front and throughout the West.
Most people were anxious or nervous.
However, it is the place where people live that even in such a situation, there are small joys.
This conference room was like that today.
“You have a baby. “Edward may already know this news.”
During the break that came before the actual meeting began, the news brought by Elric threw the place into chaos.
“… “A child is raising a child?”
Elbers looked puzzled.
“… heritor. “Heir.”
Edward trembled.
“Your wife’s child, your child… .”
Egret is broken.
The only normal reaction, surprisingly, came from Heimberg.
“ah! Blessing of birth! Congratulations indeed. Or, if you don’t mind after the war, would you allow me to go to Wibin and bless the child? “They’re taking two cardinals, including me!”
Elric smiled slightly and nodded.
No matter what his private life was like, I knew at least how his blessings were evaluated externally.
“That’s just the way it is. “I have more reasons to win the war.”
I tried to lighten the mood by saying something like a promise, but it wasn’t easy.
Did it seem so strange to others that he became a father?
Suddenly, I find myself reflecting on the past.
It was at that moment that Zerdia opened her mouth.
“Is that really the reason for the change?”
He asked with a smile on his face full of goodwill.
Are you really happy about your own growth?
I was embarrassed for no reason and nodded my head to get the answer.
“It’s important to have a place to return to. It’s not just a fight, it’s a journey, it’s life. “It seems like you have found an answer that our generation didn’t have.”
Although Zerdia’s voice was not loud, it had the power to attract people’s attention.
As he continued speaking, the atmosphere began to become increasingly uneasy.
Like water flowing, Zeldia took control of the chaotic atmosphere at once.
“Okay, let’s stop chatting here and start the meeting. “Is the strategy ready?”
That’s how the meeting began.
There were only three days left until the final match.
*
It started in the early morning of a summer when the rain from the night before had created thick moisture.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps spread quietly like an echo.
At the same time, the front lines that surrounded and isolated the imperial capital from all sides moved.
The movement of troops resembled the shape of a shadow that was quietly lengthening.
The final battle that will put an end to a war that has lasted for a total of 21 years.
The beginning was so quiet.
It was the Empire that broke the silence.
Kiiiiing—!
The moment the troop movement began, the magic circle atop the castle made noise.
The ancient magic that had saved the capital of the Thousand Year Empire, Mahir, from danger many times, [Fortress of Heaven] was activated, and it was a roaring sound.
“All troops!!!”
Credon Mahir, the 3rd prince of the empire, shouted at that moment.
“Advance!”
There was no hesitation for him, who had lived for this moment for a long time.
The marching order was followed by shouts that tore the air and troops rushing toward the imperial capital in line with the battle lines.
“Waaaaaa!!!”
Quagwagwang!
The magic of the fortress poured down on the troops.
Each one was a large-scale collapse magic, confusion magic, and mental interference magic.
“Magic Legion!”
Under Credon’s command, the magic corps unleashed magic.
At the center were Zerdia and Igret.
“I attacked?”
“I guess so.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you.”
After speaking, Igret held the staff.
Behind him, Zerdia tapped the floor and dispelled a mental interference spell.
A large-scale dispel spell covers the entire battlefield, but only a light amount of blood appears on his face.
“It’s nice that it’s open.”
Igret grinned and created a magic circle.
The seed of the flame that made her called ‘Yeomhwa’ left her grasp.
Up in the sky, up to the ceiling of the battlefield.
It was the moment when the seed took root.
“Bloom.”

The breath scattered by the low-pitched voice touched the seed and made it sprout.
Grumble!
The sky turned red.
A plant made of giant flames grew large enough to engulf the battlefield and eventually spread seeds.
Ignition, proliferation, and bombardment.
The seeds that grew and scattered became another plant and swept the battlefield.
Quagwagwagwang!
It was the Holy Spirit of Valentia, said to be the strongest magic that can be cast by one person.
The enemy’s magic and the fortress’s magic began to be mercilessly torn apart by the magic that Igret unleashed.
However, it was only for a short time, and the fortress’s defenses were eventually repaired and the wounds were erased.
“Well, that doesn’t work either.”
Igret licked her lips with regret.
Should I say that it is true?
As it has been maintained by gradually absorbing the mana of those who have lived on the ecliptic for a thousand years, the defense power of the fortress has not been reduced in a short period of time.
If this war of attrition continued, his mana would run out before the fortress.
“I heard there are no reinforcements?”
“Soon. “Wait.”
“What is that skinny bastard doing?!”
Igret was furious.
Edward, who had been preparing for today, was still nowhere to be seen.
Zeldia let out a grin.
The moment Igret’s mood sinks due to her attitude as if she knows something for sure,
Kugugoogung!
A tremor shook the ground.
Igret’s head turned.
The culprit of the vibration is a huge piece of metal that was once only seen in blueprints.
“Really, what on earth is that?”
It was a tram.
Igret frowned.
*
The moment a loud noise shook his entire body, Edward suddenly remembered the past.
– what? Civilization level? This is just primitive level. How ridiculous would it be for me to make a fuss about just having one train in a world without proper electricity supply?
It was a memory of a mysterious woman I met when I was young.
Edward still doesn’t know who she is.
Identity, belonging, and hometown.
All I knew was that she was a magician and that she was a person who could transfer her memories to others.
Because I actually experienced him.
– Oh my, I feel it. I’ll show you in just a moment.
That day, Edward saw a scene from a woman.
A world so advanced that the entire continent can be considered a primitive civilization.
And that world war.
It was a world that shattered all of Edward’s common sense.
The desire to remove the grandiose rhetoric and just embody things from that world here vaguely remained in Edward and continued to this day.
“Secretary.”
Edward said from inside the tram.
“Let’s show it properly.”
A deep smile appeared on Edward’s lips.
The secretary operated the tram.
At that moment, mana was concentrated in the tank’s gun barrel.
‘Complete mechanization is still difficult.’
No, there was no need to pursue complete mechanization like the scenery in my memory.
Because this world had magical power that could compensate for the lack of technical skills.
In fact, the woman who relayed the memories also said that the combination of technology and magic is the most ideal form.
Kiiiiing—!
Just seven tanks.
And a huge condensation of mana flowing into the gun barrel.
Eventually it spewed fire.
“Lord’s love! Balsaaaat!”
Edward cheered loudly and began firing.
Wow!
There was a crack in the fortress.
*
“Now it’s your turn to step forward.”
Elric opened his eyes at Elbus’ words.
The moment he finished meditation and stood up, the mana that had been swimming around Elric hid inside his body.
However, the momentum is not dead.
He succeeded in confining an immeasurable amount of mana completely within his body.
“Hand-to-hand combat has begun.”
Waaaaaa!
And from the moment the fortress was cracked, the empire’s troops rushed out in anger.
In the Allied camp, Heimberg radiated divinity.
A melee unfolded.
In the midst of chaos where guns, arrows, and magic fill the sky, and blood, flesh, and screams fill the ground.
Elric quietly looked at the imperial castle.
When I did that, I felt something.
‘I’m waiting.’
Elhadak Mahir was sitting quietly in the center of that place.
He just watched the empire collapse without taking any action, as if all this war was useless.
That attitude is truly wicked and selfish.
“I’ll come back.”
Elric jumped into the battlefield.
Suddenly-
Just cutting down everything in front of you.
“Aaaahhh!”
Jinyoung didn’t care.
How many enemies there are, how many allies there are, how much magic pours in and how concentrated the attacks are.
Completely ignoring everything, Elric jumped into the castle alone.
Still, no one could stop him.
The only trace left behind was Elric’s path as he swung his sword.
So, in front of the Imperial Gate, the entrance to the fortress.
Elric poured mana into his sword and swung it.
Whoa whoa!
With a sound, a gap appeared in the fortress.
He plunged himself into it and entered the ecliptic alone.
That moment,
Peeing—
A dagger flew past my cheek.
Elric raised his head.
“Is it a natural gain?”
A thin body that could be described as a boy’s appearance, black hair and black eyes, and a stealth suit that covers everything else.
Master of all assassins in the West.
Cheonik Lindaros Disha was in front of me.
