Chapter 184 Relationships in the Present Life (2)
Leaders looked at each other.
Rodwell Dmitry.
He was a man who perfectly met Flora’s conditions.
He had sufficient skills and courage, and he was confident that he could proceed with the plan without problems.
His time in the West has proven his worth.
No one in the leadership would deny that fact, but the problem was that Dmitri’s name was too valuable to take on a role that would cost him his life.
said Baron Noel.
“It’s not possible. Didn’t Flora tell you? The person in charge of the Great War must be prepared for death. I know Lord Rodwell’s will, but we cannot sacrifice a swordsman like Rodwell’s.”
Rodwell’s older brother.
Roman Dmitry has risen to power in Cairo.
If the aristocratic rebellion is settled and even the Kronos Empire is defeated, the Cairo Kingdom will undoubtedly open the era of Roman Dmitri.
Baron Noel wasn’t stupid.
He was patriotic and experienced all kinds of hardships on the Western Front, but he also had a desire to return to the capital later and occupy an important position.
so that.
Rodwell couldn’t be pushed limb by limb.
The presence of Roman Dmitri made the values of a man with a Dmitri family background completely different.
Rodwell Dmitry said.
“So, is there a prosecutor to act on my behalf?”
“Isn’t that something that needs to be looked into? Rather than be quick to judge… … .”
“no. When the choice is cited as the reason that it is a decision of the leadership, there is no choice but to force the sacrifice of those who do not want it. It’s for Cairo. How could a knight who should have patriotism refuse? And with this plan, there aren’t many options. There are swordsmen stronger than me on the Western Front, but their lives cannot be sacrificed in a place like this. You have to think about the situation after the battle of the great warrior is over. Then, it is right that a moderate level of inspection makes a meaningful choice.”
he is.
He wasn’t the best prosecutor in the West.
Right now, Count Vandenberg was a 4-star swordsman, but he couldn’t let the commander die.
Rodwell Dmitry saw people.
They showed a look of bewilderment, but they couldn’t tell him that he was wrong.
“Someone has to do it. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to die unconditionally for the sake of the plan. I will do my best to defeat the great warrior of the Kronos Empire. So please let me go.”
“… Rodwell.”
Count Vandenberg showed a pitiful look.
Rodwell Dmitri, who was first assigned to the Western Front, was an immature talent like any other his age.
Many deaths have been experienced here.
Rodwell has grown up.
He became a full-fledged prosecutor and is now respected by everyone.
The meeting room went silent.
Although he was a disciple he taught himself, as Count Vandenberg, he couldn’t be considerate of just one person.
at last.
“i get it. Rodwell Dmitry you will be in this great warrior battle.”
“thank you.”
The decision fell.
The culmination of this plan.
Rodwell Dmitri nodded with a calm expression.
* * *
After the meeting.
There was someone waiting for Rodwell Dimitri to come out.
“Why are you so eager to do something so risky every time?”
Western Front.
There were two celebrities here.
One was the red-hot Flora Lawrence, and the other was Rodwell Dmitri.
Member of the Cairo Royal Academy.
Rodwell Dmitry was given a one-year service for training reasons, but he decided to remain on the Western Front after completing that period.
It was a time when Dmitri was in the spotlight for a while.
Not everyone understood his choice to abandon wealth and honor, and Rodwell, who remained on the battlefield, took a dangerous step.
in every battle.
He was always in the lead.
He did not back down even a little against the Kronos Empire, and led the Cairo Kingdom army with blood vessels around his neck.
and present.
People on the Western Front respected Rodwell Dmitry wholeheartedly.
He was evaluated as a strong warrior, but it was not so in Flora’s eyes.
“I see you are not normal. People say it’s an act of patriotism for Cairo, but the truth is it’s just a madman who can’t die. There are quite a few people following you on the Western Front. The leadership accepted the fact that you were the best, but if you really consider the necessity, you shouldn’t die like this.”
“It is what I need.”
Rodwell looked at Flora.
Flora Lawrence.
heard by rumor
A woman who promised to marry her older brother, but broke off the engagement and gave up the normal aristocratic life.
Perhaps he was a being who could understand his feelings.
“Flora. You know who Roman Dmitry was. That’s why a wise woman like you must have made the extreme choice of breaking up the engagement. How did you feel at that time? Were you willing to accept the fact that Dmitri’s being called an idiot was different from rumors? I didn’t. So many things have changed for Dmitri during his time in the West.”
last few years.
The transformation of Roman Dmitry was shocking.
Even at first, he denied the truth, but continued rumors forced him to accept reality.
people said
I wish I had an older brother like Roman Dmitri.
However, Rodwell Dmitry, who remembers his time with him, fell into a great sense of alienation.
“In my life, Roman Dmitry was nothing more than a blot. Such a person is now being promoted as a Cairo hero. People applaud Dmitri for his bright future, but I’ve never entrusted my future to someone I didn’t want to call my brother. So I extended my service period and will do anything to surpass him.”
Denied reality.
I covered my ears.
As he risked his life on the battlefield, he made every effort to become stronger.
It was the same this time too.
It was a life-threatening decision to become a champion, but I hoped that this decision would make me even a little stronger.
Roman Dmitry.
Defeated Richard Nicholas.
Rumors that he stood tall as the greatest sword in Cairo made Rodwell’s heart burn.
Flora was speechless.
It was a complicated feeling.
At one time, I was also confused by romance, so I couldn’t hastily conclude what the other person’s feelings were.
momentary silence.
Rodwell Dmitri asked in reverse.
“Then why are you here?”
Flora bit her lip.
What to say.
Thinking of a plausible excuse, she didn’t want to lie to Rodwell Dmitri.
him and himself.
I was swept away by the same fate.
If Roman Dmitri had not changed, the two would never have met on the Western Front.
“There was a time when I almost killed a lot of people because of my immature choices. So I just decided that I needed the experience to not repeat the same mistake again. stop talking about this Conversely, when I receive a question, my mind is blown away. I won’t bother asking why. but… .”
I looked into Rodwell’s eyes.
those eyes.
It was not the eyes of a person who had given up on life.
“You must win. I hope you will survive and live a meaningful life.”
* * *
The day of the decisive battle has dawned.
far away
The Kronos Empire army was visible.
Rodwell Dmitry came out of the castle alone and looked at his enemies.
‘Today I could die.’
make a decision
Many people came.
Those who dissuaded him, saying it was a reckless choice, sighed as they looked at Rodwell Dmitri’s unwavering eyes.
From hearing the rumors of Roman Dmitri.
Rodwell Dmitri, the wise man people remember, acted like a man with multiple lives.
I knew it too.
It would be really dangerous this time, but if I didn’t do this, there was no way to get stronger quickly.
‘With experiences that conform to common sense, there is no choice but to grow in a frame. Roman Dmitry became Cairo’s greatest sword. The world calls him the best in Cairo, but I don’t want to be inferior to him.’
You could call it an inferiority complex.
For whatever reason.
Rodwell Dmitri stood here.
Breathing deeply into his lungs, he raised the sharpened sword he had sharpened throughout the night.
stuck.
not far away.
The Kronos Empire army lined up.
Rodwell Dimitri stepped forward.
He received all eyes on his body and poured mana into his voice.
“I am Rodwell Demetrius of Cairo Kingdom. I, Rodwell Dmitri, will challenge the Kronos Empire to a great warrior battle!”
From now on.
I stepped into the crossroads of life and death.
* * *
As Flora expected.
The Kronos Empire had no reason to refuse.
They arrogantly sent it against an unknown prosecutor.
“My name is Osford. I will deal with you.”
Osford.
It was an existence that could not even reach the end of the empire rankings.
However, none of the people in Cairo showed a smile.
Unlike Cairo, where you can pass ranker positions even if you reach the level of 3 stars, the person at the very end of the Cronus Empire was a 4-star swordsman.
It was a completely different world from Cairo.
They dismissed Osford as a great warrior as a mockery, not thinking that he was weaker than Rodwell Dimitri.
furthermore.
Rodwell wasn’t even a ranker in Cairo.
Since the apparent difference in skill was absolute, Osford showed an attitude of confidence in victory.
The battle started like that.
As expected, Osford took the lead.
“Where!”
Caang!
Kakakakang!
It was overwhelming.
As soon as the start of the battle was announced, Osperd immediately rushed in, and the sword that created the aura didn’t allow any time to catch his breath.
Osford was a three-star swordsman.
The Kronos Empire obtained the data of Cairo prosecutors operating in the west and found out that Rodwell Dmitri was still only a 2-star swordsman.
2 stars in my early 20s.
It was great growth.
However, that was only a high evaluation of future expectations, and it was not enough to threaten the Kronos Empire.
so that.
I deliberately sent Osperd out.
I was thinking of showing that even an unknown swordsman, not a ranker, could overwhelmingly defeat Rodwell Dmitri.
Caang!
“Keugh.”
pushed out of power
Rodwell Dmitri blocked the attack with quick reaction speed, but he couldn’t help but be pushed back every time the swords collided.
From the beginning, the difference between the two was obvious.
Osford slammed forward one more time, inducing Rodwell Demitri’s defense, and as soon as the opponent blocked the attack, he kicked him in the stomach vigorously.
puck.
A strong shock occurred.
Suppressing what was rising inside him, Rodwell Dmitri quickly attempted a counterattack.
but.
Awesome!
Rather, the forearm was cut.
Blood splattered in the wind.
No matter what, Osford responded, and as time went on, the wounds on his body increased one by one.
A swordsman whose skills were recognized in Cairo was blocked by the empire’s walls.
Rodwell Dmitri clearly had a promising future, but he never held his breath against an obscure prosecutor.
weak country.
It was the reality of Cairo.
The reason why I couldn’t open my mouth against the empire was because there was an overwhelming difference in power.
“die!”
Kwajik.
The armor distorted on the fist.
I felt dizzy.
Rodwell Dmitri had the urge to collapse, but he clenched his teeth and held on until the end.
‘This is the expected result.’
People expected an unexpected miracle.
Could Rodwell win?
no.
It was impossible.
No matter who they sent, the Cronus Empire would probably send it against a stronger swordsman.
that is the empire.
It didn’t take long for them to muster their troops, but they ruthlessly trampled Cairo’s territory.
‘How the hell did Roman Dmitri defeat these beings? I can’t even handle a 3-star aura swordsman, but he became Cairo’s best sword because defeating Butler wasn’t enough. Obviously, the Roman Dmitry I remember wasn’t that strong. But while I left for the battlefield and tried my best to become stronger, he reached a level that he would not dare surpass.’
hearing rumors.
People praised Rodwell Dimitri.
As Dmitri’s status rose, he was treated wherever he went.
but.
I wasn’t happy at all.
I couldn’t take Roman Dmitri’s fame seriously because I’ve never had a moment in my life where I didn’t work hard.
‘This morning. I heard a report that Roman Dmitri’s kingdom forces subdued the rebels. He made the impossible possible and once again proved his worth. It cannot be denied that now Roman Dmitry has become an untouchable being. The rumors you hear are people’s reputation. It proves the worth of Roman Dmitri.’
He knew too.
That I can no longer catch up with the difference with my older brother.
Even though I knew that, I stood on the battlefield because I couldn’t accept it with my heart.
Awesome!
The face was cut.
Long lines of blood on the cheeks.
Rodwell Dmitri’s eyes did not waver.
Looking straight at Osford, he struck forward and entered.
tadak.
“Where is this bastard?”
this duel.
I knew I couldn’t win in the usual way.
So he came up with a plan.
It was the same pattern.
A counterattack aimed at the opponent’s lower body.
After inducing the opponent’s defense with repeated attacks, he aimed at the opponent’s vital points in a different pattern than before. For this moment, I gave up my body until now. My whole body was stained with blood and I couldn’t stand it any longer.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Aura exploded.
The attack was quick.
battlefield experience.
Rodwell Dimitri’s power of execution was bold.
The attack that followed like flowing water quickly dug a loophole, but Osperd responded this time as well.
“You cheeky bastard!”
The sword flashed.
Even so.
Rodwell Dmitry did not stop.
As he kept receiving the sword, he accumulated data in his head and predicted exactly where the opponent’s attack would stop.
‘At this rate, I might lose my eyes.’
The opponent was sure.
that he would resign.
But Rodwell gritted it.
pod.
One side of the field of vision was stained with darkness.
That moment.
hooked
“Gagging.”
Rodwell’s sword pierced the opponent’s vitals.
They gave up their flesh and took the bones of their opponents.
Osford, tinged with astonishment.
Rodwell Dimitri had already decapitated him when he tried to fight back with a panicked face.
Awesome!
Pooh.
Blood gushed out like a fountain.
In the meantime, there is something I experienced on the Western Front.
That the difference in aura does not guarantee absolute victory on the battlefield.
Blood flowed from his eyes.
One eye was stained with terrible pain, but Rodwell Dmitri grinned and raised his middle finger at the Cronus Empire.
“Go away, you bastards.”
Day 2 of the 3 days promised by Roman.
The Kingdom of Cairo succeeded in overpowering the Kronos Empire.
