Chapter 256 International Conference (4)
One day before the declaration of war.
Roman Dmitri, who was concentrating on treatment, looked down at the two men who were lying like corpses while collecting mana.
‘Now all I can do is end.’
Suncheon’s aura.
Although he used the source of his birth to save his own ability, the technique Roman Dmitri performed was not really able to revive even the dead.
From now on, I had to survive on my own.
If you accept death and let go of the string of consciousness like this, your efforts so far will be in vain.
death.
It was a familiar word.
The man who died for himself in the process of ascending to the pinnacle was not the only one.
There were many.
From the cold and dirty bottom, he stepped on the corpses of his colleagues, and he had no time to mourn their deaths because he lived a life that was not allowed with an inch of leisure.
Was it like that?
After unifying Moorim and living a boringly repetitive life, memories of fierce days kept coming back to me.
then why
Couldn’t you have looked around?
Even back then, people evaluated Baek Joong-hyeok as a person who sincerely cared about his people, but if you think about it, that wasn’t the case.
The fierceness of life always left regrets.
It may have been the reason why he rejected the call of God when he faced the opportunity to become a fable at the end of his life.
himself.
He wanted to die as a human like the people who followed him.
And now that I have gained a new life, I do not want to leave behind as much regret as possible while walking the path of the Heavenly Demon.
efforts to cure.
No big deal.
Although it is said that the congenital energy is consumed, assimilation with nature will fill the exhausted congenital energy with more full power when reaching the state of the outside world.
What is different from his previous life is not that he sacrificed himself for the sake of his subordinates.
It is said that he chose to take care of the safety of his subordinates first, even in the face of the enemy called the ‘Cronos Empire’ in front of him.
that is.
It was the way of life.
As soon as Roman Dmitri left the treatment room, he found people waiting for him.
“You have worked hard.”
Chris in the lead.
Dmitri’s soldiers were waiting.
Roman Dmitry showed his original appearance again as they waited tirelessly for the day he would come out.
“From now on, summon all the lords of the Principality of Dmitri.”
“I take orders.”
the heavenly demon.
don’t forget the grudge
He only took care of his subordinates first, but there would be no mercy in the way of the Heavenly Demon.
* * *
Just 3 hours.
This was the time it took for Dmitri’s lords to gather.
In the first place, he stopped everything and waited, so as soon as the order came, he showed up to Dmitri.
meeting room.
Nobles were placed first.
Regarding the content of the upcoming meeting, Viscount Conrad, who once led the Northeast Alliance, spoke in a quiet voice.
“Even if Roman Dmitri is belligerent, he won’t declare war against the Kronos Empire, right? The fort keeps getting scared. The Kronos Empire is a monster whose victory cannot be guaranteed even if all the kingdoms of the continent join forces, and the lord we serve has never stepped down.”
“you’re right. If even a war breaks out like this, there is no turning back from then on.”
The kind that followed Conrad.
They, too, looked worried.
Then Viscount Lawrence, one of the aristocrats listening to the conversation, replied with a distorted expression.
“The Kronos Empire attacked Dmitri. This is a matter that must be clearly held accountable, and if it is a war, I will gladly risk my life at the vanguard of the battlefield. Everyone, be careful. Dmitri’s future is always a matter for the lord to decide.”
“You are not saying that we are not following your lord’s orders, are you? Like Viscount Lawrence, we too will throw ourselves into the pit of fire if our lord commands us to do so. But that doesn’t change the fact that the war with Kronos is reckless. Those who keep their heads down, saying that the lord is right unconditionally, are not loyal subjects for this country.”
“Are you criticizing me now?”
“Feel free to think! Regardless of what Viscount Lawrence thinks, the war against Kronos will not be an easy matter!”
Opinions were already divided.
forces following Lawrence.
forces following Conrad.
Dmitry was divided into two factions.
The forces following Viscount Lawrence said that Roman Dmitri was absolutely right, and if he gave an order to jump into the fire while hugging rice straw, they were the kind of people who would carry out without hesitation.
On the contrary, the forces following Viscount Conrad showed doubts about all choices.
First of all, I hoped to choose a reasonable method.
Therefore, the two forces had no choice but to collide ahead of the war with Cronus.
but.
They had one thing in common.
They sincerely swore allegiance to Dmitry.
It was just that the way they thought of loyalty was different, but there was no doubt towards Roman Dmitri.
last month.
Roman Dmitri’s actions were a series of surprises.
It was great to come back alive despite the threat of Valhalla and Cronos, but people were moved by the fact that he had been locked in a treatment room for over a week to save Kevin and Henderson.
Just like Chris projected himself looking at the two of them.
All who followed Roman Dmitri were convinced that if they lived for him, they would not be abandoned.
aristocratic society.
It is a world that has lost its romance.
Roman Dmitry showed his loyalty to his servants in this world where he would be punished if he became useless.
Some might say this is no big deal.
However, most of them do not act like that, so Roman Dmitri’s appearance was bound to stand out.
All of these.
Roman Dmitry followed.
Despite their differing opinions, their arrival in Dmitri in three hours was a testament to their faith.
It was then.
“Brother Roman Dmitri is entering.”
The servant’s voice.
Those who had conflicting opinions immediately showed courtesy towards their lord who followed them.
* * *
Roman Dmitry sat at the head of the table.
Now, Roman Dmitry got to the point right away after sitting the nobles in a picture that was so natural.
“The Kronos Empire did something it shouldn’t have done. However, I heard that not only Dmitri, but also international conferences are divided on how to handle this issue. Since the atrocities of the Kronos Empire are routine, people must have forgotten how to be angry. I don’t like myself.”
The mood has changed.
Roman Dmitri looked at the nobles with a cold expression.
“The fact that the Kronos Empire attacked Dmitri and broke civil law is not the point. They believed that they could capture Dmitri with just under 10,000 troops, and went ahead with the plan without thinking about the aftermath. That is the continent’s reality. The reason they were able to act like that is that apart from the armed forces they had, the history gave them a reason to be okay.”
Continental kingdoms.
Their history has always been plagued by the gigantic evil of the Cronus Empire, but there has never been a retaliation sure enough to alert them.
The fighting on the border was nothing.
He only counterattacked the enemy’s attack, but he did not think of attacking the empire’s territory first.
like that.
years have accumulated
Now that we can’t even remember when the bad relationship started, people have become accustomed to reality.
“I will pay for attacking Dmitri from now on.”
“… Are you saying you really want to go to war?”
It was Viscount Conrad.
In response to his question, Roman Dmitry said.
“The war with the Empire has already begun from the moment the Assassins of Cronus attacked me. I sent out a warning to prepare for the price if you plan to perform an ‘assassination’ after you have dealt with all the assassination guilds that day. And the answer was an assassination in the territory of Valhalla and a direct attack on Dmitri. Viscount Conrad. Those who believed in me and followed me were bleeding to death in their one-sided attack. Do you think it’s right to keep your head down and talk about compromise? If they apologize for this, do you think we should accept peace with a few words of apology from the strong?”
“no.”
“Yes no. From now on, this issue is not important to Kronos’ intention. We will not accept any compromise with them and will wage war against them until we have paid for their offense. Even if Kronos wishes for peace. I do not wish this Roman Dmitry peace with them.”
The more you speak.
Roman Dmitri’s presence burned fiercely.
Heavenly Demon Baek Joong-hyeok.
He was a person who did not allow anyone to look down on anyone, even though he lived like a stubborn man at the bottom of his life.
Things have changed.
If it has been the way to fight back so far, this fight will be the first to lead.
said Roman Dmitry.
“As of now, the Principality of Dmitri will declare war against the Kronos Empire. Each lord prepares for a war with the enemy by gathering troops and issuing an alert. keep in mind This war will leave a clear example that the continental landscape does not follow the past.”
Lightning command.
Viscount Conrad questioned his intentions, but he did not show the slightest doubt about the firm order.
“I take orders.”
“I take orders.”
Dmitry’s lords.
Roman Dmitry’s orders to them were absolute.
* * *
Sudden declaration of war.
It was something he hadn’t even discussed with Redford Hector.
Those who were waiting to meet Roman Dmitri couldn’t help but be surprised by Dmitri’s move.
‘To really declare war.’
It was disconcerting.
It was clearly Cronus’ responsibility this time, but considering the empire’s strength, declaring war was a difficult problem.
That’s why Edwin Hector had no choice but to be confused.
I thought I had figured out a lot about Dmitry Roman, but I didn’t know that he would announce a decision like this without his consent.
‘Dmitri refused to attend the international conference. At first, I thought it was simply because of Roman Dmitri’s schedule, but if it’s a move like this, he may not have wanted help in the first place. Is that possible? To fight a war with only Dmitri’s strength.’
In a nutshell.
It was impossible.
Even if Redford and Hector helped, there was no 1% chance of winning the war against the Kronos Empire.
that day.
Edwin Hector contacted me right away.
He wanted to adjust the situation through his meeting with Roman Dmitri, and if a war with Cronus became a reality, Hector Kingdom needed to prepare as well.
As time passed, the Kronos Empire did not hide its desire to conquer the continent.
There was a conviction that if even Roman Dmitri, the only opponent, collapsed, one day the kingdoms of the continent would inevitably collapse one by one by the Cronus Empire.
furthermore.
The Heavenly Mage Tower Master said this.
“Edwin. People including you do not know the truth. The reason why the Celestial Mage Tower was located in the Cronus Empire is not for the environment to develop magic, but because only being loyal to Cronus can guarantee the future. I say this because I personally want you to remain my disciple. If you intend to take revenge on the Kronos Empire, stop now.”
Celestial Wizard.
He was an outlier.
Even the sorcerer, who had reached an extremely high level, looked at Edwin Hector, who was learning about the Cronus Empire, and spit out words that he couldn’t understand.
That’s why I couldn’t give up the link with Roman Dmitri all the more.
When faced with unpredictable variables, Roman Dmitri was the only one who could overcome them.
War on the Southern Front.
Having personally experienced Roman Dmitri, Edwin Hector gained a strong conviction towards Roman Dmitri.
Unfortunately, Roman Dmitry could not be met.
Instead, Count Fabius appeared on behalf of Dmitri in the presence of King Redford.
“I am Count Fabius.”
“Please tell me the main point right away. What is Roman Dmitri’s intention?”
The question of wanting the truth.
Knowing that Redford and Hector were on Dmitri’s side, Count Fabius said with a wry smile.
“It is what it looks like.”
declaration of war.
Roman Dmitry has already taken action.
“The lord wants revenge with only Dmitri’s strength. Therefore, please attend the international conference right now and inform other countries of the situation. That Redford and Hector did not intervene. The fact that what is happening from now on is purely the result of Cairo and Dmitri’s union.”
I was perplexed for a moment.
Fabius’ remarks.
This was the kind of story that could not be accepted by common sense.
