Chapter 202 Wheel of Fortune (2)
Edwin Hector was perplexed.
If you know the conspiracy of the Kronos Empire.
There was no reason to reject his offer.
public enemy.
It’s a plan to overthrow the Kronos Empire, but why is it reacting so aggressively?
“To be honest, I do not understand Roman Dmitri’s intentions. Principality of Dmitry invited the kingdom union and told them about the future. Just as the case with the Kronos Empire attracted the Kingdom Alliance, it proved itself that the power of the neighboring countries was needed to the fullest to counter the imperial ambitions.”
Dmitry and Hector.
Both purposes coincided.
Then it was right to welcome Edwin Hector’s outstretched hand and embrace it.
“I will not deny that Hector is weak. In just one year, the damage caused by the poor harvest and the aftermath of the war could not be resolved, and there are still many people in Hector who are starving. But what the hell does that have to do with it? If there is even one person willing to contribute to the overthrow of the Kronos Empire, it is to Dmitry’s advantage. It means that you will take on the war together that you must fully bear. And Hector’s plan is an extension of Dmitri’s involvement in the kingdom union.”
outside the office.
A friendly conversation was taking place at the party.
As they clinked glasses and talked about the future of the kingdom, they laughed at each other as they joined forces over a common enemy.
sea that has already been agreed upon.
On the surface, Dmitri and Hector’s solidarity was established, and Edwin Hector only prepared this place to make sure of that fact.
Therefore, the rejection was not expected.
Roman Dmitri was an unpredictable person on the battlefield, but I didn’t expect him to cause so much trouble outside the battlefield.
said Roman Dmitry.
“you’re right. With a common enemy called the Empire, the Kingdom Alliance can only survive. What I mean by that is a closer relationship than that. Does Prince Edwin Hector believe in kingdom unity? Right now, we may turn to each other for each other’s comfort, but there is no guarantee that the situation will last forever.”
There are no permanent allies
Given that premise, Roman Dmitry wanted clear benefits for each other for a solid relationship.
“From now on, if I were the Cronus Empire, I will tell you how to destroy the sand castle of the kingdom union.”
* * *
Relationships are complicated.
If one’s own person showed certain faith, the existence outside the fence was constantly doubted and distrusted.
alliance coalition.
In order to form such a solid relationship, not only the purpose but also the conviction that each other’s relationship is beneficial must be accompanied.
Hector only has a clear purpose. It was not an existence that influenced the general trend.
“Recently, the situation in Umberto Kingdom is not very good. They are facing the frontier with Kronos at the forefront. We are suffering the most damage from frequent battles, and dissatisfaction is leaking from within due to fatigue. If I were the Cronus Empire, I would try to appease Umberto first. Even if Umberto succumbs to that appeasement, the kingdom union will inevitably collapse on its own from the rift that arose from within.”
one possibility.
“The King of Redford has fallen into gambling. Putting the security of the country in the background, the national treasury was wasted, and the servants under him tried to solve the problem, but eventually got their hands on the Golden Bank. As you know, the Golden Bank has influence across the continent. If they start pressing, the debt-ridden Kingdom of Redford will try to find a new solution, and that may be treason.”
possibility of both.
“Do you think you can trust Frank and Odelia? No absolutely not. They have a divided system of power, just like old Cairo. Frank’s neglect of Phoenix’s support was also a disaster that occurred because the forces following the Empire encouraged the King. Cairo has found stability by purging Marquis Benedict and the aristocrats, but we cannot be sure that miracles like ours will happen to them.”
four possibilities.
finally.
“How about Hector? The four kingdoms of the Kingdom Alliance have enough weaknesses for Kronos to attack. Same with Hector. If hunger is extreme. Or if Valhalla suddenly declares war. Are you sure you can stand it then? I am asking if you, who say you will take revenge against the Kronos Empire, have the strength to remain unshakable even in changing circumstances.”
kingdom union.
It was just a sandcastle.
We have formed such an uneasy relationship that we do not know when it will collapse.
“Dmitri has no intention of making the mistake of breaking ties with the Kingdom Alliance first. I hope to have a friendly relationship with Hector in the future, but joining Prince Edwin Hector’s plans is another matter. The cost of excessive trust is fatal. If the premise is that neighboring countries might betray at any time, Dmitri will not be shaken under any circumstance, but if they trust each other, then the problem is different. Because Hector has a role he wants. We can’t help but let that void be fatal.”
It was a complex matter.
Form an alliance, but not give sincerity.
This was the answer returned to Edwin Hector, who expressed his sincerity.
Looking at Edwin Hector who couldn’t accept the situation, Roman Dmitri said in a subdued voice.
“I am not aware of the sincerity of Hector’s kingdom. Unlike other kingdoms, Hector, who has a clear purpose to avenge the Kronos Empire, has ample justification to accept as an ally. The question is, is Dmitri truly worthy of Hector? This is an important role Hector can play. If Hector says that he will take revenge on Cronus only with his mouth in a harsh environment like now, Dmitri has no reason to treat Hector seriously. After all, what can be obtained from Hector is insufficient. Rather, trusting and following yourself is a smart way to avoid taking risks.”
Future plans.
I needed confidence in Hector.
If they prove their worth, then they will consider how to use Hector.
and.
In the first place, it was Roman Dmitri’s claim that Dmitri was the subject of the plan.
“I will ask you again. Do you have any grounds for Dmitri to truly join hands with Hector?”
* * *
Roman Dmitry’s words.
It was right.
Hector was weak.
Even so, Edwin Hector talked about the plan first without knowing the subject.
‘… If you think about it, the fact that the Kronos Empire is the subject of darkness is not that important.’
Kronos.
They were outwardly friendly, but back-and-forth, not plotting behind the scenes.
Continental conquest was always mentioned.
Considering that it was something resentful that made Hector’s land dry, or politically openly trying to destroy Hector, it was originally those guys.
The truth only convinced me.
The reality to deal with has not changed.
The Kingdom of Hector did not have the power to carry out the plan, but only talked about destroying the Cronus Empire.
“You are so cruel.”
smiled dejectedly.
truth.
It was so cruel that it was harsh.
Edwin Hector smiled self-deprecatingly.
“Actually, I know the truth. Hector is falling into the path of downfall, and at this rate, even if it is not someone’s attack, it is a situation that has no choice but to collapse on its own. That’s why revenge may be desperate. When Hector’s strength remains even a little bit. There is also a desire to take revenge on the Kronos Empire for making Hector into this shape and to solve the kingdom’s problems with their wealth.”
Hector’s worth.
It was shabby.
Even if it had the power to burn just once, I couldn’t say it was great.
“Hector is not qualified to lead the plan. If the Continental War breaks out and the Kingdom Alliance wins. Hector will be there, but you won’t be able to say that he won with Hector’s power. But that doesn’t mean I’ll give up my revenge. From the moment Hector’s people collapsed to the ground and died lonely, clutching their hungry stomachs, Hector became an existence that could not coexist with Cronus.”
The voice grew more and more exasperated.
Looking straight at Roman Dmitri, he added strength to his voice.
“Did you ask what grounds to bring out Dmitry’s sincerity? I can only promise you one thing. As the prince of the kingdom of Hector, if it is to destroy the Kronos Empire, I will risk my life and do my best. It’s okay if we aren’t the main characters. If you destroy Kronos and promise Hector’s future. Hector will be at the forefront. War is a war of attrition, and Dmitry needs a scapegoat to pave the way.”
Roman Dmitry.
I was convinced by my conversation with him.
If a man was this meticulous, there would be no more perfect person for his plans.
believed
So I made a sacrifice.
“Even if Hector reduces Kronos’ power by one-hundredth, it will benefit Dmitri. How about doing something like this instead? Dmitri help Hector. I don’t want much. If the soldiers give us food and weapons, we will use them as the driving force against Kronos. Please help us to do whatever it takes if it is a military force that only has a cause and does not provide practical help. Rather than a shiny kingdom union. I think Hector, who has a clear goal, is a better fit for Dmitri’s plan.”
It was a bold proposal.
When I asked about the value, I hoped that the value would be given in reverse.
Edwin Hector’s eyes were stained with poison.
Uncovering the cruel truth, he accepted his destiny as the Prince of Hector’s realm.
so that.
I risked my life on this day.
If Kronos was not destroyed, Hector would be finished anyway.
It was then.
“The promise you just made. Keep that in mind.”
I didn’t mean a perfect ally.
but.
Hector.
No, I confirmed the value of accepting Edwin Hector.
“Dmitri will do his best to help Hector get back to power in the shadows.”
* * *
Followed by Cairo.
Formed a second alliance.
Rather than a showy kingdom union, Hector will have a place in future plans.
of course.
Variables will always be prepared, but the meaning of Hector has changed from before.
before leaving.
Edwin Hector said.
“When I first met Roman Dmitri on the battlefield. For the first time in my life, I felt like I couldn’t handle it. At that time, Hector was defeated in the war, and he thought a lot over the past year. Why did the perfectly prepared plan fail? Is it right to simply accept failure due to the existence of only one Roman Dmitry? People say that you met the wrong person However, since I cannot say the same thing while dealing with Kronos, I do not want to avoid responsibility with such an excuse.”
prince of a country.
The life of Edwin Hector, whom people look up to, was intense enough to suffocate.
“I worked hard to become a person who made a variable myself while living in heaven. It is no different now. Hector will be stronger than ever. In order not to be swayed by excuses, I will somehow increase the value of Hector, so Roman Dmitri-sama, please set the stage for us.”
gritted it
That is.
It was the last appearance of Edwin Hector.
As he left the reception room, Roman Dmitri saw where he left.
‘Hector’s kingdom. Edwin Hector alone is enough to bring them into future plans.’
beyond the body.
saw inside
Edwin Hector did not waste the past year and became stronger than before.
Explosive mana seething from within.
As his understanding of magic increased through Pelex, he realized how great Edwin Hector was worth.
his growth.
It was explosive.
In the war against Kronos, Edwin Hector was a person who would surely play his part.
It was fun.
From enemy to ally
The wheel of fate connected the relationship between the two.
and that time.
Another relationship, led by the fate of Roman Dmitry, stepped into the whirlpool of fate.
