War breaks out

Even if Kronos himself isn't afraid, it would be bad if he contaminated others.

However, he still put this Beyonder Characteristic in a container; leaving it there would pollute the villagers.

While he had no interest in Beyonder Characteristic, Kronos was extremely interested in Beyonder Item, and he retrieved the Sealed Artifact from the Zombie's body.

It was a black pendant, and just looking at it gave me a very uncomfortable feeling.

Kronos is not Savant Pathway, so it is difficult for him to clearly distinguish the abilities and negative effects of this Sealed Artifact; he can only make a rough estimate.

"It seems to have quite a few negative effects. No wonder he only used it once," Kronos said, examining the pendant closely.

After that came the cleaning up of the battlefield. Not only was there a Zombie, but there was also a living Werewolf on the battlefield, only it was writhing on the ground in pain.

For his sake, Kronos didn't even bother to waste a single Bullet, so he pulled out the Disease Triangular Dagger and killed him with a single blow.

Looking back at the battlefield now, there was not only one Zombie and three Werewolf, but also corpses controlled by the Zombie and the corpses of innocent villagers.

Looking at the numerous corpses, Kronos sighed deeply. There was nothing he could do; if he hadn't had so many trump cards up his sleeve, he would have almost failed miserably.

There's no time to spare; one wrong move and even my own safety is at risk.

Now, the only way Kronos can express his apology is by burying them.

So, in front of the other surviving villagers, he pieced the bodies back together one by one, dug pits for them, and laid them to rest.

"Alas!" Kronos sighed as he looked at the rows of graves before him.

Then he turned and left.

Although the villagers suffered heavy casualties, now there is not a single one of them who would doubt the identity of the Warlock Kronos.

The role of Kronos doesn't require the villagers to believe in him; they only need to acknowledge his identity as a Warlock.

Therefore, in this round, the progress of Kronos's character development has indeed improved significantly.

As Kronos journeyed along, he gradually sensed that the Potion's digestion process was slowing down. Perhaps after a few more performances, this acting journey would come to an end.

After leaving the village, Kronos opened the Map and checked his location.

No wonder the Rose School was able to catch him; he had been traveling along the widest transport route in the Paz Valley and had now entered the territory of the Republic of Intis.

Kronos made a rough estimate and felt it was time to return. To avoid being watched, he could change his route.

Head north until you reach the Coastline, then take a boat back to Gurain. This unexpected change of route allows you to explore the small fishing village by the sea one last time, completing your final act.

Having made up his mind, Kronos set off in his Coffin Carriage.

When Alfred and Gner returned to the camp, their entire squad was reduced to four men.

The attack from the Feysac Empire came too suddenly. It wasn't just a thousand-man brigade; it was a full-scale legionary attack that caught Loen completely off guard.

The hasty and chaotic response resulted in a crushing defeat for the Loen army, which suffered heavy losses.

Alfred, Gner, Pagni, and the last survivor of the squad lay in the medical tent, still able to hear the shouts of battle outside.

"How was it? Wasn't it great? This is war!" The one who said this was naturally Gner, because he was the only one among these people who had experienced war.

The entire squad was full of high spirits and ambitions, everyone was eager to achieve great things. Now, they've met their demise before they even got started.

Alfred stared blankly at the top of the tent, without saying a word.

Pagni said from the side, "Gner, stop talking, everyone is feeling terrible."

"You're overthinking it. I don't mean to blame him. This is war. Even if you're fully prepared, the only factor that can bring you back safely is luck. I just hope you can recognize that." Gner said to Pagni with a serious expression, but he was speaking to Alfred.

They are not Angel or Demigod after all, and in the face of such a large-scale war, they really are just relying on luck.

Actually, according to Alfred's original Timeline, he shouldn't have come here at this time. It was Kronos who solidified his idea of coming to the battlefield, so he came here ahead of time.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened.

But this was indeed a baptism for Alfred, making him realize that military merit is not something that can be obtained by simply wanting to.

Only then did he begin to slowly transform into a soldier.

This was also Gner's goal. Alfred's identity destined him to be their leader, but if this leader was too naive and idealistic, then Gner really needed to consider moving to another place.

Kronos wanted to place Gner next to Alfred not so much to curry favor with the Hall Family, but mainly because Alfred's record was quite impressive.

However, because the original text describes the Southern Continent very little, Kronos was completely unaware of the existence of this war; otherwise, he might as well have left Gner with Bayam Amyrius.

Just when everyone thought that after the Feysac Empire launched a war, the Republic of Intis would quickly respond and join forces with the Feysac Empire to attack the West Balam colony of the Loen Kingdom.

The Republic of Intis, however, was completely calm, showing no sign of an impending war.

This is unreasonable, so naturally decisions cannot be made in this manner.

Loen rapidly reinforced the West Balam colonies, prioritizing the East Balam colonies and the Rorsted Archipelago, as these were the closest locations.

Therefore, Amyrius most of his naval Warship to quickly transport troops from the Rorsted Archipelago and East Balam to reinforce West Balam.

The initial defeat of the Loen Kingdom was entirely due to being caught off guard and having insufficient troops, especially since the Feysac Empire was caught off guard.

Therefore, with the arrival of reinforcements, the Loen Kingdom gradually gained a foothold and was no longer at a disadvantage against the Feysac Empire.

During this time, after Alfred's injuries had little effect, he returned to the battlefield.

By this time, he had become much more composed and capable, leading Gner, Pagni, and the newly formed squad, steadily advancing on the battlefield.

After several battles, this squad made a name for themselves.

Just when everyone thought the war would end after ten days or half a month of this stalemate, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.

The army of the Republic of Intis, which had been silent for many days, moved, but it did not attack the West Balam colony of the Loen Kingdom.

The army of the Republic of Intis had already been stationed in West Balam for some time, which is why the Loen Kingdom sent reinforcements at all costs.

But in the blink of an eye, when the Republic of Intis made another move, everyone was surprised to find that the army had already reached the Paz Valley.

This is the true purpose of this war.

The Alliance between the Feysac Empire and the Republic of Intis, with their armies approaching the West Balam colony of the Loen Kingdom, has thrown Loen's army into a panic, prompting them to send reinforcements continuously.

Reinforcements will only come from East Balam, because it is too far to the Northern Continent.

Once all the necessary reinforcements have arrived, the Feysac Empire will tie down the main force of West Balam, Republic of Intis will attack the Paz Valley.

The Paz Valley was originally jointly owned by the Republic of Intis and the Loen Kingdom, and the purpose of this battle was to seize ownership of the Paz Valley.

In the entire Southern Continent, apart from a few famous rich mines, the Paz Valley is the most precious resource. Only the Republic of Intis was able to seize it, and the losses from the war and the compensation to the Feysac Empire were minor matters.

So when the Republic of Intis fired its first shot in the Paz Valley, the decisive battle of this war began.

It wasn't just a land attack; because previous reinforcements had already diverted the navy from the Rorsted Archipelago, the navy of the Republic of Intis could practically drive straight in.

The man who leads the navy of the Republic of Intis is none other than the Vice Admiral Iron Blood of the sea— Achilles Teren.

This is essentially an open secret to everyone; he is from the Republic of Intis.

Although people at sea had previously speculated that the Vice Admiral Iron Blood was supported by the Republic of Intis, Vice Admiral Dusk Bulatov Ivan was supported by the Feysac Empire.

However, these are all just speculations, because there is no evidence, and we cannot leave any evidence, otherwise it would likely be eliminated by official agencies in other countries.

This Vice Admiral Iron Blood's open-handed approach is truly rare.

Perhaps he plans to retire after this war.

The moment the Republic of Intis launched its final offensive, the unfortunate Kronos had just crossed the border between the two colonies.

Then a cannonball landed less than Fifty Meters away from him, completely stunning Kronos.

Several seconds passed before he Consciousness that war had broken out.

He had always known that fighting had broken out in West Balam, because he and Gner had exchanged several letters through Messenger, but he really didn't expect the war to spread to East Balam.

Let alone a Sequence 7, even Sequence 5 wouldn't be able to face an army on their own. So, after regaining his senses, Kronos didn't hesitate and started running.

Kronos probably figured out Intis's purpose, so the best way to avoid it was to run towards the edge of the Paz Valley, which happened to be his original destination, the sea.
