Chapter 356 Chicken Game (4)
On top of the castle wall.
If it is narrow, if it is narrow, if it is wide, an unrealistic situation has occurred in that space.
Even though they were attacking from all sides, regardless of blind spots, Roman Dmitri was slaughtering the soldiers of Santino who encountered them.
It is a one-on-one confrontation.
Count Santino felt his hands tremble at the sight of Roman Dmitri walking around as if it were his home in a situation where the majority had tens of thousands of boats, not dozens of boats, in many home grounds.
‘This is Roman Dmitri.’
It was as per reputation.
I could tell what kind of person he was just by putting this ridiculous strategy into action.
It is not a simple object.
He had the confidence to create a variable with his own strength, and Count Santino had no choice but to connect magic communication to the overwhelming power that was demonstrated in front of his eyes.
It was an ominous premonition as a commander.
I was proud to try to endure with only Santino’s strength, but it seemed that things would really go wrong.
Beep-
“Marquis Belfir. I am Count Santino.”
[What’s going on?]
“Right now Roman Dmitri… … Ahh!”
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
An explosion occurred.
Roman Dmitri cut down Santino’s soldiers at once and then rushed at Count Santino recklessly.
The distance between the two was far, so they didn’t come face to face right away.
However, Count Santino screamed involuntarily as the knights who tried to stop Roman Dmitri collapsed one after another.
My heart thumped.
My mouth was dry.
Count Santino staggered back and picked up the communicator once more.
“Lo Roman Dmitri landed on top of the castle wall using fly magic. And now Santino’s soldiers are being massacred because they couldn’t stop one Roman Dmitri. Santino needs reinforcements! It’s really embarrassing, but if I can’t stop Roman Dmitri, I think Santino will break through!”
shouted as if screaming.
yet.
It’s just the beginning of the battle.
The castle walls and gates are intact, and many of Santino’s soldiers remain, but Count Santino, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, instinctively knew that Santino was dangerous.
Didn’t all the beings who had overlooked Roman Dmitri die?
That’s why the Marquis of Belfir knew that this contact felt premature, but for now, he desperately reached out to save his life.
[Count Santino.]
“Yes!”
[The opponent is only one, Roman Dmitry. I don’t expect much from you. just a few days Either by shoving Santino’s men to death or by any other means. Don’t cover the means and methods and endure somehow. The imperial family’s reinforcements will arrive after cleaning up Hernard.]
“But… !”
[Don’t put me to the test with your incompetence anymore.]
It was a firm voice.
Count Santino’s face turned red with embarrassment and anger, but he couldn’t express his anger toward the Marquis of Belfire.
The opponent was the most powerful person in Valhalla.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t disconnect the magic communication, but I couldn’t think of words to persuade the Marquis of Belfire.
It was then.
Roman Dmitry turned to the gates.
If the castle gates were opened, it would be a really big deal.
Santino’s knights rushed at the same time, trying to stop Roman Dmitri, and the sparkling aura from all directions stimulated their ears.
It was a great sight.
No matter how great the swordsman was, it occurred to him that it would be difficult to prevent 30 knights from attacking at the same time.
At least, if the opponent had acted in accordance with common sense, Count Santino would have cut off magical communication with the Marquis of Belfir.
hooked
Pooh.
“Cheak!”
It was a one-sided slaughter.
Block, dodge, and counterattack.
In a series of intertwined battles, Roman Dmitri swept the knights of Santino with his overwhelming presence.
How many times have you blinked your eyes?
In an instant, they were all butchered.
In a panic that seized reason for a moment, Count Santino shouted at the communicator like a man out of his mind.
“Roroman Dmitry is a monster! How the hell can you stop such a monster with only Santino’s power! This was crazy from the start. Roman Dmitri is ravaging the territory of Valhalla, and we can stop such a monster with our lives! Please please send reinforcements!”
It was a desperate voice.
I needed help to live.
If reinforcements were sent even now, he was thinking of fighting against Roman Dmitri with hope.
however.
[Die for Valhalla, Count Santino.]
With that said.
Took.
Magic communication has been cut off.
* * *
Only 3 hours.
It was the time it took for Santino’s tall walls to collapse.
When the gates were opened by Roman Dmitri, a one-sided massacre took place by the allied forces.
In a situation where the power is inferior.
Even the momentum was broken.
With the defeat spread in an instant, Santino’s soldiers admitted defeat without being able to resist.
Pak-
“… … Keugh.”
Count Santino was thrown to the floor.
After rolling several times and swallowing moans, he hurriedly corrected his posture as the gaze looked down at him.
“Ha, please save me just once. If you spare me, I will do everything for Roman Dmitri.”
got down on his knees
He raised his voice and glanced up at his opponent.
It was Roman Dmitry.
Dmitry’s Demon.
As a result, all common sense strategies were rendered useless, and Santino had his fortunes in his hands.
Count Santino also had no intention of committing a traitor from the beginning.
He considered himself a patriot in his own way, but he could not afford to worry about such things when his life was at stake.
and.
Didn’t the Marquis of Belfir abandon himself first?
The words to die for Valhalla caused a revolt in his heart.
“What can you do for me?”
It was a cold voice.
but.
Count Santino felt it was an opportunity.
Still, I raised my voice while looking at Roman Dmitri, thinking that I had given him the right to speak.
“You can do anything. first… ah! I’ll give you information about warp gates. Roman Dmitri’s strategy right now is to occupy the warp gate and pressurize the Valhalla royal family, but ‘Javier’, called the warp point, is not such an easy place. I will tell you the status of the troops there and the security system.”
The response was calm.
I continued to add words in my impatient heart.
“Not only that. We will also talk about the special forces of the Emperor of Valhalla and the Marquis of Belfir, who is currently leading the power of Valhalla. I understand what I’m not happy about. However, if you accept an insider like me, I am confident that it will be a great help in the process of destroying the Valhalla Empire.”
“Explain in detail.”
“Thank you!”
His expression brightened.
I thought the other party accepted the deal.
I blew up information.
In order to live, he scraped together the information he knew and emphasized that he was a helpful being as much as possible.
finished the explanation.
Count Santino looked at Roman Dmitri with a slightly hopeful face.
“… Are you saving me now?”
like he said.
Count Santino was a helpful presence.
But that’s it.
“no.”
There was no thought of saving him from the beginning.

That time.
Marin, the capital of Valhalla.
A strange thing happened there.
chuckle.
“Let’s go to Valhalla’s imperial family.”
“I can’t watch Valhalla go the wrong way anymore!”
“For Valhalla!”
common people.
They finally got up.
Ares’ remarks ignited the soul of Valhalla, and the patriotism that had stirred up in a few days brought people together.
At first there were several hundred.
As they raised their voices, they quickly increased to tens of thousands, and the number of people on the road to the Valhalla palace overflowed beyond count.
Duke of Vieto.
It was as he intended.
Public sentiment was important to this rebellion, and the actions of the rebels gave confidence to the people.
Let’s get up!
Let’s raise our voices!
Like Duke Vieto’s rebels fighting for their lives, let’s do what we have to do as the people of Valhalla!
Public sentiment spread.
People gathered in front of the imperial palace.
Among them, the person who seemed to be the representative stepped forward and raised his voice.
“I speak to His Majesty the Emperor of Valhalla on behalf of the people of Valhalla! Valhalla is a land of warriors. Generation after generation, we were not ashamed of the fact that we were warriors, and we were brave beings who lived by the warrior’s code. But in recent years. Valhalla has lost its roots. I lost my romance. They were invited to a sacred festival, they showed their filthy intentions to attempt an assassination attempt, and now a time has come when power is seized not through warrior prowess but through nefarious intrigue. His Majesty the Emperor of Valhalla! This is wrong. Please rectify reality and become a wise ruler who is supported by the people!”
“Please be a wise monarch!”
“Please bring back the roots of Valhalla!”
Everyone raised their voices.
this is really
It was a huge event.
In a country where the emperor is dictatorship, ordinary people are resisting him head-on!
But I couldn’t get over it quickly.
In a situation where as many as tens of thousands of people speak with one voice, a problem could arise if touched incorrectly.
It was then.
Chuck Chuck Chuck –
The armed forces have arrived.
Emperor’s soldiers.
They surrounded people.
In the immediate situation, the representative of the people did not withdraw.
“You’d better kill me! Shut our mouths with death! If you wish to stop us with death in our quest for Valhalla, all of Valhalla will rise up. Those who remember the spirit of Valhalla will be angry at our deaths, and then they will know that the people are the foundation of the country!”
tens of thousands of people.
Dealing with them was no easy matter.
As the representative said.
The problem could have grown.
I don’t know if it didn’t come out, but since it came out on a scale of tens of thousands, it exceeded the level of silence with death.
however.
hooked!
“Cheak!”
One of the emperor’s soldiers did not hesitate to thrust a spear into the common people.
* * *
Blood smeared in the abdomen.
The moment the people looked at the opponent with open eyes, the commander leading the soldiers shouted.
“Exterminate all the heinous traitors!”
“Kill!”
It was different from what was expected.
There was no compromise.
The emperor’s soldiers rushed in and cut down the people, and the people who didn’t show up with a weapon had no choice but to be unilaterally defeated.
A massacre took place.
Those who had raised their voices just now had their throats blown off, their stomachs pierced, and they collapsed to the floor, and terrible screams erupted from all directions.
representative of the people.
He looked at the scene in front of him with a puzzled expression.
I didn’t know it would turn out like this.
No matter how cruel the Emperor of Valhalla was, he did not think that he would massacre tens of thousands of people like this.
“Emperor of Valhalla! You are crazy with power! No matter how much it is an empire, how long do you think the power of Valhalla will last if the people are treated worse than livestock! Our deaths, our pain, the people of Valhalla will watch with open eyes! so… Whoops!”
puck.
A powerful shock came from the bridge.
He forced himself to his knees and vomited blood as the attack struck him in the face.
My mind has faded.
When someone grabbed my hair and pulled it up, I saw the other person with a blurry vision.
“… Captain of the guard.”
Captain of Marine’s Guard.
He was looking at himself with a ferocious face.
“… this is not this You know very well that Valhalla is going in the wrong direction.”
He spat out the words with difficulty.
Moment.
The captain of the guard laughed.
“We are only following the orders of His Majesty the Emperor.”

thrust the sword into the heart.
A trembling representative.
Eventually, as his body limp, the captain of the guard raised his sword while looking around.
“Kill them all! Do not let even a single one of those who overstep the Emperor’s authority live!”

A set of circumstances.
The expression on the face of the Marquis of Belfir reporting about it was not good.
“… You’ve dealt with all the people who joined the rebellion. And as you ordered, we will proceed with the search for those related to him.”
slaughter order.
Even as the Marquis of Belfir, he felt guilty.
Public sentiment is important.
A nation is, after all, formed by a group of people, but no matter how much you look back on the history of the continent, there has never been a leader who responded to this extreme.
I would have understood if it had been dealt with secretly with a suitable justification.
However, when they were slaughtered openly, the Marquis of Belfir was at a loss for words.
The Valhalla Emperor laughed.
“Bug-like bastards. If you don’t even know the subject, you’ll end up like that.”
no one.
I couldn’t give him advice.
Royal Knight too.
Marine’s Guard too.
All other special powers were people of the emperor.
No matter how mad the Emperor of Valhalla displayed, no practical force withdrew their support for him.
“Duke Roman Dmitry Vieto. They are very mistaken. If we stimulate the people of Valhalla, what can Valhalla do? Wouldn’t there be a chance of winning if they incite people even though they are obviously behind in actual power? What a stupid idea. My brothers who tried to stop me also believed in the public opinion and couldn’t escape the fate of all dying overnight.”
I was dying.
Madness intensified.
Whenever he heard the news of Roman Dmitri, the Emperor of Valhalla felt an irresistible urge.
“The Marquis of Belfir.”
“yes.”
From now on.
It was his turn to step forward.
The Emperor of Valhalla had no intention of backing down from his game of chicken with Roman Dmitri.
“Contact Roman Dmitri right away.”
“All right.”
Connected by video communication.
yet.
Beep.
[It’s a nice sight, Marquis of Belfir.]
Beyond the screen.
Roman Dmitry, with a bloodstained face, received magical communications against a backdrop of piles of corpses.
