Chapter 172 Purge (3)
Roman’s proposal.
It wasn’t common.
Despite claiming to be Cairo’s sword, Roman Dmitry was referring to a deal rather than loyalty to the royal family.
so that.
Daniel Cairo could not have responded positively.
He always hoped that the aristocrats would collapse in the chaos of the power system, but he was afraid of what kind of price he would ask for.
It was an expected reaction.
Roman spoke through the silence.
“I was on the southern front when Hector Kingdom crossed the border. Cairo fell in an instant. The complacent defense system could not stop the intentions of Hector Kingdom, and the warp gate fell into the hands of the enemy without any resistance. Do you know what I was thinking then? While hiding in the mountains with his troops, he resented why the Cairo royal family did not respond quickly. Clearly, the kingdom of Cairo had its time. Even if the defense system was weak, if we had faced the danger and responded quickly, the entire southern front would not have been taken.”
It was a rebuke.
Whether or not people showed signs of indignation, he pointed out the Cairo royal family’s faults.
“Cairo has learned about the problems in the power system through this incident. But has anything changed in the last year? doesn’t exist. Whenever the Kronos Empire made a threatening move on the western front, the Cairo royal family held a meeting and watched the situation until the central government approved it. That’s really stupid. We knew what went wrong, but ultimately chose to stand by.”
four factions.
This is a fundamental problem in Cairo.
Because a relationship like a magic bomb cannot be touched hastily, the experience of the southern front did not fix the problem.
“Currently, the situation in the Salamander Continent is not serious. In a situation where a war could break out on the verge, if the Kronos Empire crossed the border, Cairo would have no way to survive. Knowing that fact, how long are you going to stand by? Someone has to wield power. We need to bring Cairo together and have a systematic structure to deal with future events. And I think it’s right for His Majesty the King. As if I were the king, citing the central government, I think His Majesty the King should take the center, not the Marquis Benedict.”
strengthened the voice.
People’s eyes shook.
Roman’s remarks.
The words of the king’s appointment made their hearts beat.
“I attacked Marquis Benedict for forcing me to make a choice. Your Majesty the King may question my intentions, but I want you to know that Dmitri made a risky choice. The Dmitry family risked their lives for this. If His Majesty the King ignores Dmitri’s choice, Dmitri and I must take all risks. So choose. Are you going to stick around until the end? Or will you take advantage of this situation that Dmitri has set the table on?”
passed the option.
now.
It was the king’s part.
Daniel Cairo, who was silent for a long time, asked with a determined expression.
“I have a question before making a decision. What does the Dmitri family want in return for this job?”
Promise Roman mentioned.
Now that was important.

New life.
What is your goal in life?
Roman Dmitri wants to rise to the pinnacle, but that doesn’t mean he wants to engulf Cairo and build an empire.
For the purpose Roman wants, Dmitri is enough.
They had no intention of trampling on the cultures of the entire continent and causing senseless slaughter in order to completely control the huge landmass.
past life.
Baek Joong-hyeok’s conquest of Murim, the heavenly demon, was different from the existing method.
If the beings who once commanded Moorim wanted to completely take over Moorim, what Baek Joong-hyeok pursued was mental submission.
Jeongpa, sapa and other forces.
They continued their way of life as before, but when asked who the sky of Moorim was, they sincerely said Baek Joong-hyeok, the heavenly demon.
That’s it.
Destroy all forces trying to stop the Murim conquest.
Baek Joong-hyeok returned to 100,000 Daesan again.
Rather than trying to control a huge land mass, the people of Murim made a structure that had no choice but to support the Cheonma Shinkyo with all their heart.
From then on, Baek Joong-hyeok became a sanctuary.
As before, the forces of Murim fought each other, but they did not dare to look up at Baek Jung-hyeok of the Heavenly Demon Church.
In this way, Murim achieved the age of peace and prosperity.
If you look through history.
Moorim always faced a crisis due to beings with dangerous thoughts.
However, when Baek Joong-hyeok was alive and well, there was a certain absolute, and he held the center, so he did not dare to even try dangerous thoughts.
That was Baek Joong-hyeok’s Moorim.
It was not an empire in the sense of unilaterally exploiting others and receiving tribute, but a domination of a structure that perfectly seizes mentally.
The life of Roman Dmitry.
The current life was no different.
Roman wants to rise to the top, but it is different from conquering the continent that the Cronus Empire speaks of.
‘I will root the Heavenly Demons in Dmitri. I do not wish for unconditional destruction in the process. The forces standing in my way will surely be trampled on, but if necessary, I will acknowledge their existence and allow them to continue, whether in Cairo or otherwise. And when finally everyone recognized Dmitry as the best on the continent. I will return to Dmitri and find my own peace.’
firm goal.
I cleared my mind.
And now.
In response to Daniel Cairo’s question, Roman Dmitri honestly revealed his purpose.
“I want independence in the northeast region including Dmitry. If the area northeast of Cairo is recognized as an independent power and given the title of principality, Dmitry will always do his best for Cairo from a position that has the same roots as Cairo. It does not mean breaking away from Cairo and going completely independently. We go with Cairo, but we want to build our own world.”
that’s at first glance
It was a statement that meant rebellion.
Looking at Daniel Cairo’s shocked expression, Roman firmly drove the nail in with an unwavering voice.
“Your Majesty the King. If you can’t have it all, take Cairo as your best bet.”
* * *
The atmosphere cooled down.
Roman’s remarks.
I don’t know if it was the king’s voluntary choice, but on the contrary, the king’s faction could not accept it favorably.
“Your Majesty the King. This is not it.”
“you’re right. Is there a case in the world where the title of principality is granted at the request of a subject? Dmitri intends to take care of his own interests in the name of the aristocracy. You should never allow it.”
The Royalists protested.
Roman smiled at them.
“Yes, that’s right. There is no such case. But are there other options? While those present remain silent despite the atrocities of the aristocrats, I drew my sword against them. I saw blood, and from now on I have to fully bear the fight against the aristocrats. I only want the price of sacrifice. The principality is derived from Cairo, and Cairo and Dimitri will forever be a community of destiny. All I want is the strength to stand against what lies ahead. If they show complacency, as they did on the southern front, then as an independent force, we will be able to give them definite advice.”
drew a line
that it is not a rebellion.
Even if such an intention seems reasonable, Roman Dmitri did not intend to make it perfectly understandable.
This was a deal.
I knew I couldn’t hope for any positive favors as the Northeast area was falling apart.
at last.
The choice was up to the king.
With the gaze focused on him, Daniel Cairo was lost in thought.
‘How can I do this?’
Roman Dmitry.
Even though he was surrounded by soldiers without a weapon, he did not look fearful, but rather showed a confident attitude.
It’s not arrogance.
Even if you give orders to attack Roman.
The Royal Knights will not be able to subdue Roman Dmitri.
From the moment he defeated Count Nicholas, Roman knew that Cairo was an uncontrollable monster.
‘Roman Dmitri’s suggestion is not necessarily wrong. I watched incompetently as the power system in Cairo was torn to shreds. If it wasn’t for Dmitri’s help, I wouldn’t have even thought of fighting the aristocrats in the first place. However, if the Cairo royal family only insists on royal rights without any sacrifice, Dmitry has no choice but to think differently. Right after Dmitri defeats the aristocrats. There is nothing wrong with rebelling. It will be enough if you have enough power and make a justification. Even knowing that fact, Roman Dmitri gave me the opportunity to accompany him.’
Faced reality.
Daniel Cairo.
He is called a weak king, but he was not an idiot who did not know the reality.
The royal family has no power.
If he borrowed Dmitri’s power to correct the chaos in the kingdom, this would not be a low-level business.
‘Roman Dmitri started something that the Cairo royal family couldn’t even dare to do. That fact alone made Dmitri completely out of the Cairo royal family’s control. Then Cairo has to choose. Will you live happily with the current system, or will you give up what you can’t have and lead Cairo in a new direction?’
already.
the choice was made
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that this was a problem with no reason to ponder over it.
‘I wished to establish my kingdom every time. Even if Roman Dmitri had bad intentions, it couldn’t be worse than losing his life after being swayed by those who put me up as a scarecrow. Roman Dmitry at least said his honest thoughts. Then it would be right to make a positive relationship with Dmitri with a clear choice.’
this decision.
I knew it was a risky choice.
If you believe in one Dmitri and work, you can’t guarantee your life on the day when the wind blows.
but.
I was convinced by watching Roman Dmitri.
He believed that this man would surely finish what he had failed to do.
“I promise to you on the honor of the Cairo royal family. If this is all over. I will call the area to the northeast, including Dmitri, a principality, and give the title of duke to Baron Dmitri. So say all you need to do to win the war. And be sure to punish the treasonous Marquis Benedict who disturbs the country.”
command fell
Confused Cairo.
It was the moment when the king, who was called the Scarecrow, finally made a decision.
* * *
The country was noisy.
Count Denver, who followed Valhalla in the clash between the aristocrats and Dmitri, watched the situation from his home.
“Roman Dmitry. What a scary guy.”
It was a series of surprises.
I couldn’t hide my surprise just by defeating Count Nicholas, but I ran into the aristocratic faction of Marquis Benedict.
The average count of Denver thinks about the number of cases.
Even if Roman Dmitri could defeat Count Nicholas, he never thought of a clash with the aristocrats.
‘Roman Dmitry made a decision. Rather than choosing one faction and relying on it, it must mean creating an independent force just like the Dmitry Alliance was formed. As long as they directly attacked Marquis Benedict in the capital Kairos, Dmitri and the noble faction cannot stop fighting until one of them dies.’
Sigh.
I leaned back in my chair.
A laugh came out.
Things are taking an extreme turn, but that doesn’t mean it’s too bad for the Earl of Denver.
‘According to reports, Roman Dmitri headed for the palace. It is not certain whether it was planned with the king in advance, but it can be interpreted as an intention to borrow the king’s power in a confrontation with the aristocrats. It’s a confrontation between the king faction, Dmitri and the aristocratic faction. It will be a fight worth seeing. After the two forces are fighting to the death, then I will clean up the chaotic situation and create an advantageous situation for Valhalla.’
The risk factor is one.
The Chronospa led by Gregory.
They must be thinking the same as you, so if you are not fully prepared, you may be eaten in reverse.
I was excited.
Cairo.
It is a country with ruins.
Rather than sacrifice his life for a country like this, he hoped to quickly dedicate it to the empire and get a seat.
It was then.
jump.
“Lord! It’s a big deal!”
“What’s going on?”
It was a family article.
As the Earl of Denver frowned, the knight said urgently.
“Roman Dmitri stormed the mansion with his troops. The atmosphere isn’t too bad. Get away quickly… … Kuck!”
pug.
The knight’s body was thrown to the side.
behind the door.
A man appeared.
Romin Dmitri walked out slowly and looked down at the Count of Denver.
“Earl of Denver. Follow the king’s order from now on.”
Earl of Denver wide-eyed.
starting the homework.
The first thing Roman Dmitry chose was to remove the seeds of discord.
