Chapter 245 Deadly Kill (5)
A few days later.
Contrary to expectations, no additional attacks from the Cronus Empire were made while heading to the trading city.
Once you’ve got a place to stay.
After ordering the soldiers to rest, Roman Dmitri checked whether the warp gate was in use, and a familiar scene unfolded like déjà vu.
“… We’re sorry, but warping to Adelian is not possible. As you know, Valhalla is currently on high alert as the shadows of the Kronos Empire invade its borders. In order to prevent them from escaping through the warp gate, warp to other countries is completely prohibited, and if you are going to Dmitri, the only way is to move to the vicinity of Paulo and move on foot.”
Impossible.
In reply, Roman Dmitri read Valhalla’s intentions.
‘Is this what it meant?’
After the conversation with Rodrigues, he grabbed the horse by the reins and said something questionable.
“Dmitry Roman. The only way for you to survive in Valhalla is to fully cooperate with Valhalla and give ‘justification’ for us to protect you. If you are a being protected by the Valhalla Imperial Family, even we won’t be happy with your death. I’m sorry to hear that you refuse to accompany us. Please try your best to the end. We will meet again soon.”
recent.
People’s criticism of the Valhalla royal family was fierce.
It was to prove that Valhalla had worked to protect Roman Dmitri by facing the green field led by Rodriguez ahead of the trading city.
At the same time, they would have known that nothing happened while they were protecting them.
Even if you arrive at the trading city anyway, you cannot move to Dmitri, and as Cronus, you can attack outside the border.
blast furnace.
The only way Rodriguez mentioned was in the sense of a joke.
What was visible to the Valhalla royal family was not simply an acceptance of their companionship, but a request to submit to Valhalla.
There was no other way.
The head of the warp gate showed a kind smile, just like Marine.
“Do you still want to use the warp gate?”
* * *
said Sanchez.
“This is clearly a trap.”
tomorrow.
It was decided to take enough rest and move to the warp gate.
At the mention of crossing the Valhalla border on foot, Sanchez sensed that things had gone terribly wrong.
“There have been many things in Valhalla, but there has never been a case where warp to another country has been banned unless it is a wartime situation. But what does this mean? Valhalla is not responsible for Roman Dmitri’s death the moment he leaves the border. It’s not strange no matter what happens outside our borders. Even if Valhalla directly harms Roman Dmitri, there are many things to be held responsible for deaths that take place in places where there are no witnesses, whether it be the Kronos Empire or the Hector Kingdom.”
The intention was clear.
outside the borders.
It was a place of death.
The reason why Valhalla stopped the warp to another country even at the cost of astronomical losses revealed its intention not to let Roman Dmitri live.
Public opinion had no meaning from now on. As for what happens outside our borders, the truth will be determined by the amount of information Valhalla discloses.
said Roman Dmitry.
“Know. The moment I leave the border, Cronos and Valhalla will cooperate and aim for my life. Even if their relationship does not seek perfect cooperation, right now they have a common purpose.”
“Are you saying you want to cross the border?”
“okay.”
firm answer.
Sanchez gritted it.
I felt like I was going to explode with a frustrated heart, but I couldn’t solve Roman Dmitri’s problem on my own.
It was hopeless.
The fact that he was proud of being a warrior in Valhalla, he felt so shabby now.
“Sanchez. If you go back to the history of Valhalla, there must have been a crossroads where Valhalla itself decided its future before it became corrupt as it is now. At that time, Valhalla chose to compromise with reality. The decision makers at the time might have thought of it as ‘one exception’, but the comfort and huge rewards that compromise presents will never forget the sweetness. Valhalla fell like that. It has become corrupt, and at least the country I have experienced has become something that cannot be called a country of warriors.”
Roman Dmitry emphasized one compromise.
If you want to reach the peak.
Precedents are important.
If you accept reality and give in to the ordeal, you won’t be able to overcome all the many hurdles on your way to the top.
The comfort of compromise will come to mind every time.
“I am clearly aware that this is wrong. Cronus and Valhalla’s enmity stems from an unjust cause, and compromise with them means surrendering to power. That’s why you have to take the risk. To prove that there are beings that cannot be subdued even by the power of the Empire. I am willing to take the risk because I know what a single compromise can lead to.”
Moment.
Sanchez saw Roman Dmitri.
The justification that this man was talking about matched the warrior’s will that Valhalla had historically emphasized.
sure
Even if all the warriors of Valhalla, including himself, died, Roman Dmitri had to be saved.
“I will follow. I will give my life for Roman Dmitri.”
“no. You remain in Valhalla.”
“but… !”
“Sanchez. The moment you cross the borders of Valhalla with me, you become a witness to the shame of Valhalla. regardless of my survival. Everyone related to you will have no choice but to be removed for the purpose of destroying evidence. It’s a different matter from accompanying them in Valhalla. Valhalla’s delayed response will end up being criticized, but what happens outside its borders is a Valhalla secret that should never be known.”
the future ahead.
I drew a picture in my head.
The existence of Sanchez needed to be used for something more meaningful.
“Remain in Valhalla and unite those who remember the pride of warriors. At the southern end of Valhalla. I heard that the Duke of Vieto, once a powerful man in Valhalla, was living a reclusive life. Convince him to equip yourself with strength against the Valhalla Empire. later. If Valhalla really makes the wrong choice. Then a voice with power is the only way to set Valhalla right.”
Sanchez’s eyes burned red.
to never forget this moment.
To remember the feeling of helplessness and not to repeat the same thing.
Roman Dmitry took a step back.
“You do your job. What happens from now on is up to Dmitri.”
* * *
The next day.
Roman Dmitry and the soldiers left the border.
The people of Valhalla came out and cheered, but the farther away from the border, the more distant the people were.
Because they too have to live their own lives.
After about ten days, there was no one in the sandy wilderness except Roman Dmitri and his soldiers.
It was then.
There were beings approaching from afar, causing a sandstorm.
sudden.
Hee hee hee!
at the forefront.
A man grabbed the horse’s reins.
Appearing fully armed, he was Rodrigues, the leader of Deer Field, who had recently encountered Roman Dmitri.
“Dmitry Roman. Long time no see.”
after that.
The soldiers have arrived.
At first glance, they were thousands of soldiers, and the warriors of the green field showed a menacing appearance with armor decorated with animal fur. Valhalla’s Armed Forces.
Green fields were active beings on the forefront.
There was a saying that if there was a problem in Valhalla, the first people to encounter it would be the green field.
Dmitri’s soldiers stopped.
In the face of a confrontation, Rodriguez said with a face that did not hide hostility.
“Didn’t I tell you? that we will meet soon From the moment Roman Dmitri accepted the invitation to Valhalla. No, from the moment the Earl of Denver’s life was taken. Things like this were foreseeable. The Valhalla Empire does not forget the grace. If you had sworn allegiance to Valhalla, you would have enjoyed wealth and glory, but since you showed hostility, we cannot let you live.”
Hostility was rampant.
in the vast wilderness.
There were no eyewitnesses.
No matter what happened here, the people of Valhalla had no way to ascertain the truth.
however.
“Cronos Valhalla. The kind people think are strong stay at the top for a long time and fall into an illusion. The illusion that they can always lead the situation. The blind belief that you can always control what goes on in the palm of your hand.”
Shuk.
Roman Dmitry drew his sword.
Likewise, Dmitri’s soldiers took their immediate situation calmly.
“I was waiting.”
as soon as the words are finished.
Kwalung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Troops from both sides rushed at each other without asking who came first.
* * *
Festival stage.
Rodriguez’s blood boiled as he watched the match between Barbossa and Roman Dmitri.
‘Roman Dmitry. To show off a skill that overwhelms Barbossa at the age of only 20!’
admired
A prosecutor from a weak country who wasn’t vigilant at all was showing a game that shocked everyone.
the spot.
Top rankers, including Rodriguez, were seated.
Each of them projected himself into the figure of Barbossa.
If he had dealt with Roman Dmitri instead of Barbossa, would he have been able to withstand that destructive swordsmanship?
Although Rodriguez was ranked 7th, one step lower than Barbossa, he thought it might be different.
As a pawn of power, Barbossa has been in charge of confrontation seeking practical benefits rather than the forefront.
As much as that, his actual combat ability was bound to decrease, and apart from his reputation as the Twelve Swords of the Continent, Rodriguez thought he had an edge in certain parts.
in the middle of the battlefield.
It was Rodriguez’s world.
Rodríguez’s gaze did not take off from Roman Dmitri in the fiercely confronted situation.
Quarleung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
It was truly a battlefield demon.
Roman Dmitri took the lead, and even though the warriors of the deer field raised their auras and charged, he slaughtered them at once.
The difference in head count was overwhelming.
Even though the Valhalla Empire was in an advantageous situation, Roman Dmitri and his soldiers showed no sign of fear.
really.
It was an interesting sight.
If there is no further explanation, the title of country of warriors was fitting for Dmitry.
‘The existence that Valhalla calls a great warrior. It would be a really ecstatic thing if I cut off that existence’s life.’
Head of Valhalla.
They ordered never to overdo it.
The distance from the Valhalla border to Dmitry was quite long.
The plan was for Kronos and Valhalla to gnaw away at Roman Dmitri’s forces step by step, and end them when they were completely weakened.
It was started by the warriors of the green field.
According to the original plan, he had to fight moderately and get out, but Rodriguez’s courageous spirit could not remain still.
head.
Numerous possibilities intertwined.
After thinking countless times about how to defeat Roman Dmitri, he finally rushed into the battlefield.
Kwalung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
only one possibility.
I thought of a way to defeat Roman Dmitri.
The opponent does not know his own strength, but he can do it because he has seen Roman Dmitri fight.
The warriors of the green field attacked Roman Dmitri.
Roman Dmitri had no choice but to expose loopholes in the frantic exchange of battles.
‘Now.’
Flash.
Aura that explodes.
Rodriguez’s secret skill was manifested and he cut the opponent’s throat at a speed so fast that he couldn’t dare to chase it with his eyes.
But at that moment.
Beetle.
“… ?!”
Rodriguez’s body shook.
I thought I had apparently cut Roman Dmitri, but suddenly I felt a burning pain in my neck.
The gaze twisted.
Only then did I know
the fact that his head was cut off.
Challenging what even Barbossa couldn’t do was nothing more than the arrogance of someone who couldn’t face reality.
Pooh.
Blood gushed out like a fountain.
Battle on the border.
It marked the start of a bitter fight with Rodriguez’s death from the start.
