The Dark Magician Transmigrates After 66666 Years - Chapter 451: The Departure (1)

One of the 12 Gods died.

There were two, to be exact, but since there weren’t many people in the world who knew about the death of the God of Gluttony, Atlas’s death brought greater shock to the Sun God Church.

However, it was just for a moment.

The enemy’s momentum was strong as they pushed into the central continent, Haron, at once.

The army, which received protection, broke through numerous defense lines at once, and their momentum didn’t slow down.

“Shit! Since only one-sided battles have been happening, the rate of causality isn’t being filled.”

“It is said that the enemies have broken through the Kalem Line!”

“Already? They will arrive here sometime tomorrow, some countermeasures…”

Military experts put their heads together and began to devise a plan on what to do.

The enemy’s army had already reached Haron. If the central part gets breached, the east, west, and south will be at risk.

“How about watching the fight instead?”

At the words of one of the captains, Captain Caterpilt looked at him with a face asking for a more detailed explanation.

“It is painful to have the enemy come this far, but if we think the other way, we can surround them. The protection they hold is a threat, and if we can handle it, we can reduce their power by a lot.”

“I think the same. Kariren is already finished with the preparations. We can go out at any time.”

“Arisha is also ready to punish those demons. If God allows it, the brave warriors can put an end to Olvia.”

In those words, the representatives of Kariren and Arisha agreed.

Caterpilt looked at the left side and noticed the pendulum swing in the metronome.

The indicator for causality.

‘We can call for a small God. If that happens, they can use the causality. And if that happens, we will be hoping for a close battle. Since the War God has been in the midst of the war, his force and strength must be enough to pierce the sky. It’s not a bad plan.’

No matter how strong their troops were, they wouldn’t be able to handle the troops that were pushing in from both sides. Whether they liked it or not, they would have to call a God.

If that happened, the enemies would suffer huge damage for calling their God first.

For example, the causality rate on their side.

After all, this war was a war of the Gods, and humans were just objects that they could consume. As a human, consuming another human’s life wasn’t a comfortable thing, but they didn’t feel guilty.

‘The Sun God will handle it.’

If this war ended in victory, the Sun God would bring back those who had been sacrificed.

They would create a place where everyone was happy, excluding the demons and the corrupt ones, and they would live peacefully on Bless.

‘Even so, it is a fierce situation.’

A happy future was guaranteed, but the expression of Caterpilt wasn’t good. It wasn’t like he didn’t consider this situation.

Because they had to go to war, they had to consider all the worst conditions, and of course, they had to think of what to do if they lost the first battle. The problem was that they didn’t expect to be pushed back this far.

‘The tactician of the enemy is a scary one.’

He didn’t know who it was, but they knew everything about their side’s actions in the battle. A military person who could think ahead, read, and respond in the right ways.

But there weren’t that many who could respond well, even if they could think or read the situation.

Even veterans who have been through numerous battles fail. But the enemy’s military tactician didn’t fail.

If this was a war without the Gods, then this war…

“Should we say that we are lucky?”

“Captain?”

Caterpilt shook his head at the call.

“Nothing. It is good. Let them do as they please. I will not spare any support.”

“Thank you.”

“All for the Sun God.”

At his chant, the other captains raised their fists to their chests and shouted together.

“All for the Sun God.”

Three days had passed since the war began.

Under the setting sun, the soldiers were setting up their barracks.

Now that they had the protection of a God, they couldn’t feel any exhaustion, but they were taking forced breaks.

The God’s protection wasn’t invincible, so they just didn’t notice the accumulation of fatigue. Ann was lost in thought with her arms folded in front of the tactical board.

Then Lennon went inside the barracks with two cups of coffee in hand.

“Still on it?”

“I was thinking about how it would turn out.”

“Drink this and do it.”

He put down a cup in front of Ann.

Lennon sipped his slightly dark coffee and looked at her.

Her skin was dry, and her eyes were puffy as if she hadn’t gotten proper sleep. With the war going on, who could sleep? Ann had only slept for less than two hours in total.

“They say the brain doesn’t work when you don’t sleep.”

“It cannot be helped. I need to use my head, and I have no choice but to plan a strategy until then.”

“Don’t be stubborn and close your eyes. After all, we have an advantage.”

“Because we have an advantage, we need to think more. We need to extract the maximum benefits from this situation that we are leading. We never know when we will get another chance like this. We need to solidify our lead.”

She was right, so Lennon went silent and sighed as he summoned a soft blanket and placed it on her shoulders.

“It is cold. So keep warm.”

“Thank you.”

“I will be out. Call me if anything happens.”

“Yes.”

Lennon left the barracks.

He wanted to help Ann, but since she was gifted with such things, his opinions wouldn’t be much help.

Didn’t they say that being a genius meant being lonely?

He thought of that every time he saw Ann.

“Oh— Lennon.’

As Lenon walked out of Ann’s barracks, someone called him from behind.

“Ah, Headmaster.”

“You still call me that?”

Siegfried approached him with a smile.

“Just call me Zig. The magi world has long vanished.”

“Well, it is a name I am familiar with.”

“True. Where are you coming from?”

“Ann. She wasn’t sleeping and barely planned a strategy, so I told her to rest, but she didn’t listen.”

“Umm. Well, we won’t be of much help to her except in fighting.”

“It would have been easier if she asked for help, but she likes to burden everything on herself.”

“If you feel that way, we just need to make sure to carry out her plan in the perfect manner. That will make her happy.”

Lennon nodded as if he agreed with Zig’s words.

“But you have grown so much. The last time I saw you, you were only this tall.”

Zig pointed to his chest. And Lennon looked puzzled.

“I wasn’t that small when we met the last time.”

“You seem to be confused about your academy times. Well, did you see your father?”

“No. I didn’t find him on purpose.”

It had been three days since Lennon’s father had joined the battle, but the father and son duo hadn’t met yet.

Zig shook his head at this.

“Well, maybe rich people can act like this. The power of blood.”

“Haha.”

Lennon scratched his cheek shyly. And Zig tapped Lennon on the shoulder and said,

“This has to be something that only the two of you do. I won’t bother with it. Anyway, let us work hard until the war is done.”

“Thank you for meeting me.”

“Let’s meet again.”

With those words, Zig’s figure vanished, and Lennon sighed as he confirmed that he had vanished.

Even if the Magic World vanished, that guy was once the best in the Magic World, so he would not be an easy opponent that Lennon could handle.

Feeling exhausted, he turned to the barracks.

“Start!”

“Start!!”

Early in the morning, the troops of the Black Tower began to advance again. The sight of thousands of troops moving at once was spectacular.

“I received the report that there is a castle 10 kilometers away. Due to its location, it has been judged to be empty, and it is said that the enemy troops are currently waiting in defense form.”

“What will you do?”

Darius asked Ann.

And Ann answered without another thought.

“Let’s at least take one castle at a time. We must not give the enemy time to get their causality back.”

“I understand.”

The commander spread the order around to the others, and the magic troops began to fly at once and set up magic bombardment spells at the Beorak Castle.

Even though there were troops capable of defending, it was impossible for them to stop the Black Tower’s army from pushing further ahead.

The castle fell in an instant.

“I have no intention of begging for my life from such people. Kill me.”

The castle Lord closed his eyes as if he were ready to accept his death.

Special.

Currently, this word means Olvia.

The corrupted and those who succumbed to the Demon King.

A group of evils that had to be punished on behalf of mankind.

Actually, Jamie Welton, who was the Black Tower Lord, was the Demon King who led the demons.

No matter what the truth was, it was impossible to convince other humans with that fact alone. So they didn’t bother.

“Prepare the sealing magic.”

“Kill me!”

“I won’t kill you. If the world changes, see it with your own two eyes, and then decide if you want to live or not.”

“I have no intention of following people like you who have sold their souls to the demons!”

Ann felt bitter.

“The preparations are done.”

But she had to move away from this feeling and win the war.

Only then would these bitter emotions die down.

When Ann ordered the sealing magic to be used, a green light shone through the castle, and the enemy’s soldiers lost consciousness.

Then all of them fell into slumber.

The troops of the Black Tower refrained from killing as much as they could. These people were brainwashed by the Sun God, so their deaths didn’t seem right, especially when they were being used as chess pieces.

‘They are also ones I need to protect.’

These were the words her teacher, Jamie Welton, had told Ann before she went to war.

Except for Olvia, all the humans were slaves of the 12 Gods in the past, and now they are Ra’s slaves.

And as they became slaves, it was Jamie’s responsibility to set them free.

Even if it was a selfish thought of wanting to save everyone when war was happening, he ordered to save them as much as possible.

And Ann thought the same.

“I hope that you get freedom.”

Ann opened and closed her eyes and looked at the castle Lord.

Then she got out of the room and looked at the city.

‘Something feels odd.’

Taking down at least one castle wasn’t that difficult, but something was bothering her.

‘There are only a few troops.’

The troops were a lot smaller than she had expected.

That was why they were able to siege it easily, but it didn’t make sense for them to give up the castle this easily when they still had to take their forces down.

It felt like they were aiming for something.

The enemy was cornered.

And even a cornered mouse can bite a cat.

Of course, they were bigger than normal cats, but that was why they needed to be more alert.

“If they had prepared something, we need to respond to it properly.”

Right from the start, they were successful in pushing forward, but it was not a lie that the war had just started now.

As was the case with their opponent, they also prepared a lot of cards.
