Chapter 103 Omniscient Henry Albert’s Perspective (3)
The Grand Mansion of the Benedict Family.
The vassals who had gathered in the conference room at the sudden call rose from their seats at the word that Marquis Benedict had arrived.
“How did you go to the royal family?”
“That’s why I called you guys. Everyone have a seat.”
widely.
I immediately sat in the seat of honor.
Only then did the Marquis Benedict speak at the sight of the vassals sitting down again.
“Negotiations with Hector Kingdom have broken down.”
“… Are you sure you want to go to war?”
“okay. The central government has just declared war on Hector. But it’s not as negative news as you guys think. Just now. A message arrived from the southern front in the name of ‘Roman Dmitry’. There was a battle with Hector’s kingdom all night, and it was reported that Roman Dmitri’s troops defeated the opponent greatly in that battle.”
“omg.”
“Is that true?”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
one victory.
The meaning is different.
It means that there was a variable on the southern front, and if it was not completely captured, there was a good chance of a reversal.
One vassal showed excitement.
“What a relief! In fact, if the negotiations with the Kingdom of Hector continued, the Cairo royal family thought they would have no choice but to get their hands on the property of the nobles. Gregory and the Earl of Denver’s forces would have no problem even if the Cairo kingdom collapsed, but it’s not us.”
“You are right. But that’s not what’s important now.”
right after the meeting.
Marquis Benedict had no choice but to summon his vassals.
It was not to discuss the safety of the Cairo kingdom, but entirely because of the existence of Roman Dmitri.
“Even if we lose the southern front in this war, it won’t be too bad for us. Using that issue as an excuse to criticize the incompetence of the current royal family, it would rather directly lead to strengthening the power of the central government. The problem is the existence of Roman Dmitri, who won against Hector’s kingdom. His achievements are by no means simple. In a sudden situation, they won the first victory by defeating the enemies by heading to the 5th line of defense, and showed a quick response by judging that the warp gate was dangerous. and battles in the mountains. The kingdom of Hector decided to attack Roman Dmitri even as he took back his troops, but it resulted in defeating the enemies in reverse.”
set of circumstances.
Listening to the report, my hands sweated.
I knew that Roman Dmitri was not an ordinary person, but this battle gave me a strong conviction.
“What do you think the result means? Roman Dmitri is not just a 3-star prosecutor. He was born with the ability as a commander to lead wars to victory, and fortunately such a talented person showed patriotism for the Cairo kingdom. He must have had time to escape. However, fighting to the end means that we have not yet been coaxed by Kronos or the Valhalla Empire, so we must secure the heart of Roman Dmitri by any means necessary.”
got a baby
I was thinking of recruiting him from the beginning.
However, the moment he checked the expressions of the other nobles during the meeting, he knew that the fire had fallen on his feet.
everyone’s man.
Roman Dmitri was such an outstanding talent.
Seeing the eyes of the nobles glistening with greed, Marquis Benedict spoke in a strong tone.
“The original plan was to recruit Roman Dmitri after completing his military service. But now things have changed. Contact Roman Dmitri immediately and find a way to win his heart. It’s good that you don’t have to choose the means and methods. You can use the wealth of the Benedict family as much as you like. If anyone wins Roman Dmitri’s loyalty, I will greatly reward him.”
“I take orders.”
At a time when the country is in danger.
They didn’t hide their desire.
And it was no different for other nobles.

Earl of Denver.
After returning from the meeting, he could not hide his embarrassment at the communication with the Valhalla Empire.
“… It happened like this.”
[This is an unexpected result. Informing Roman Dmitri of the ‘signal of war’ through the intelligence department McKean was intended to do him a favor and avoid danger, but it reversed it to lead to victory in the war. He is definitely a great person.]
“There was a problem with his ability that was greater than I thought. I wanted to use this opportunity to check Roman Dmitri’s abilities, but the nobles of the central government were completely in love with him as he produced the ridiculous result of defeating Hector’s kingdom. Perhaps right now Marquis Benedict and Count Gregory are racking their brains to find a way to recruit Roman Dmitri. What should I do? Originally, we planned to sign him for the long term, but I don’t think we have much time.”
Things turned funny.
right after the Battle of Daejeonsa.
The Valhalla Empire announced their intention to recruit Roman Dmitri through Mackin.
Even then, I thought it was an unconventional proposal, but Roman Dmitri’s explosive growth caught fire.
[According to what the Valhalla intelligence department has found out, the person who led this war in Hector is Edwin Hector. Called Hector’s star, he is not an easy character to be defeated simply because of his strong personal strength. Roman Dmitry. He is the talent the Valhalla Empire wants. That’s why we can’t just stand by and watch other forces take him.]
Rating upgrade.
Roman was re-evaluated.
Roman Dmitri showed his talent enough to evoke the thirst of Valhalla.
[The Earl of Denver. I will entrust you with all the powers needed to recruit Roman Dmitri. The war is over and contact is late. Find a way to recruit Roman Dmitri right away and win his heart. The Kronos Empire is unable to hide their ambitions day by day. In order to prepare for a war with them in the future, talented people like Roman Dmitri are needed.]
“I see.”
He bowed his head.
Earl of Denver after Marquis Benedict.
So did Count Gregory.
The war with Hector Kingdom was not over yet, but an off-field war was taking place in the Cairo Kingdom.

That’s when it was a mess for a while.
Henry Albert did not know which plate he had made.
Although the central government was outraged by his remarks, Henry Albert had other important things.
‘Correspondence with the central government made it clear. As long as I survive as a member of Roman Dmitri, I can get ahead.’
beyond the screen.
The expression of the aristocrats stained with astonishment was not forgotten.
Henry Albert may not have had much social experience, but he didn’t know what that expression meant.
‘The war is over. Roman Dmitri is sure to enter the central government.’
Golden Home (錦衣還鄕).
He had to stick to the place where he would be welcomed by the kingdom.
the problem is.
Roman Dmitri’s people hate him.
Since he showed such an impressive appearance from the first meeting, of course there was no reason to like him.
‘Roman Dmitri is spending time alone for some reason. So who should I look good to when he’s not around? Coincidentally, I know the right person for that condition. A loyal vassal of Roman Dmitri and a man with considerable say. And a colleague (?) who crossed life and death with me.’
smile.
showed a smile
I spoke to a man with a worldly warm smile.
“chris. You will be very hungry, so eat some of this.”
He served the jerky.
It was high-quality beef jerky that he had brought himself, but Chris glanced at Henry’s face and immediately looked away.
“I don’t like it.”
“Are you going to take it? This is really good.”
“Do you think I don’t know your intentions? We have done a lot of good in this war. If you prove that you are there, you will definitely receive a reward, so haven’t you been watching us like a dog that wants to poop? no work If you really want to be rewarded well, do not try to impress us, but become a comrade we can count on in the war.”
“… .”
mouth went in
It was a mistake of judgment.
I showed Chris a snobbish side, so I couldn’t convince him with this bribe.
Henry Albert laughed embarrassedly.
I couldn’t say anything to Chris like before, and I quietly turned around.
in his eyes.
I saw a familiar face.
‘Did he say his name was Kevin?’
Kevin.
A figure with the boy’s face still remaining.
At first, I wondered why such a child was under Roman Dmitri, but after seeing the battle, my thoughts completely changed.
He was truly a ghost on the battlefield.
Apart from the level of power, he knew how to kill his opponent, and the way he ran across the battlefield left quite an impression.
If Chris is a second person.
Kevin seemed to be in the top three.
Calculations were quick.
Henry Albert smiled broadly and approached Kevin.
“Did you say Kevin? Would you like to eat some of this?”
The second son of the Albert family.
The typical idiot who bravely appeared after kicking the door of an inn could no longer be found anywhere.

Peace was short-lived.
Hector Kingdom took a day’s rest and immediately attacked the foremost defense positions on the southern front simultaneously.
3rd line of defense.
The commander there, Baron Vasily, looked at Hector’s troops flocking from afar and said,
“aide.”
“yes.”
“According to the communication received from the royal family, Hector Kingdom followed Roman Dmitri’s forces to deal with them and was defeated. What do you think about him? Roman Dmitri has only less than 200 troops, but if he is defeated by such troops, wouldn’t the power of Hector Kingdom be weaker than expected?”
a day ago.
I received a call from the royal family.
The content was that Roman Dmitri had accomplished a great feat in defeating his enemies, so he wanted to buy time by helping him. Cairo Kingdom decided to go to war with Hector. In about ten days or so, the Cairo main force will arrive in the south.
however.
The sight of the royal family praising Roman Dmitri’s achievements stirred desire in Baron Vasily’s heart.
said the adjutant.
“I think the same. Isn’t Hector a country where people are starving one after another due to a recent famine? It only has a lot of heads, but it doesn’t seem to be as strong as I thought.”
“yes?”
“yes.”
The two fit perfectly.
lately.
He didn’t think about being attacked by Hector’s kingdom.
At that time, Baron Vasily, who had been pushed back one way, thought that the magic defense in preparation for the flare was not properly equipped in his head, as the happy circuit had already returned.
Roman Dmitry defeated the enemy with only two hundred troops.
For some reason, rather than Roman Dmitri looking great, the opponent seemed easygoing.
‘It’s already been 3 years since I’ve rotted in this kind of periphery. Maybe this is an opportunity heaven gave me.’
Hector.
They split their forces to attack three lines of defence.
The defeated soldiers who had lost their motivation in the previous battle seemed to have a good chance of winning.
“Get your troops right now. I will also show Hector Kingdom a good example through guerrilla operations.”
Even then.
Baron Vasily believed that he was no different from Roman Dmitry.
