Chapter 282 End (2)
That day.
A man named Lucas came to the Drake family and identified himself as Roman Dmitri’s agent.
“So what did you come to see me for?”
Marquis Drake.
A symbol of Umberto’s military, he looked at Lucas with sharp eyes befitting his reputation.
Next to him was his eldest son, Calderon Drake. Having lived on the battlefield since childhood following his father, he was a swordsman genius who awakened a three-star aura in his early 30s.
Umberto always suffered from Cronus’ persecution, but the two were symbolic figures to the point that if someone asked about Umberto’s future, they would say to look at Drake and his son.
The pressure was great.
Ordinary people would not be able to stand the eyes of the two, but Lucas experienced the overwhelming existence of Roman Dmitri.
blast furnace.
Lucas’ reaction was relaxed.
I accepted the situation calmly, savoring the tea the Drake family gave me.
“It smells good. Since you are asking straight-forward, I will not go round and round. I’m sure everyone knows that the Kronos Empire has announced that it will assassinate my lord, Roman Dmitri. In the process of reversely handling the forces that attempted assassination by the master, we obtained materials that are stated as ‘list of first-class assassinations’.”
“Are you saying I was included on that list?”
“no. There were two characters on the list, one Earl of Rondon of the Kingdom of Redford and the other… .”
I shifted my gaze.
As I passed Marquis Drake and looked at Calderon Drake, Marquis Drake slammed the table violently.
Quaang!
“These rip-off bastards! You mean they were after my son? How dare you take the firstborn of the Drake family?!”
“yes. They tried to assassinate his son and fabricate him as an act committed by Umberto’s traitors. What they want is Umberto’s infighting. If Marquis Drake, the symbol of the military, is engulfed in anger, he will lose the ability to deal with the external enemy Cronus. That is why I have come personally to warn you of an assassination attempt.”
“Is that the end? That alone is something I’m grateful for, but if it were only that, you wouldn’t have come to me.”
White warlord.
The Marquis Drake read the plates.
Roman Dmitri headed to Redford and Lucas found him for another reason, he thought.
Lucas laughed.
“you’re right. From now on, I would like to tell the Drake family what is to come. My lord will finish his journey to Redford and head for Valhalla. After completing all the work there, there is a very high possibility that the war with the Kronos Empire will become a reality. At that time, I hope Umberto Kingdom makes a realistic judgment. The kingdom union will sway between Kronos and Dmitri like a reed, but if you choose Kronos this time, the opportunity to change the continent will never return.”
“You mean you’re going to have an all-out war with Cronus?”
“yes. If the situation escalates, Dmitri will not back down.”
Marquis Drake admired.
Dmitry.
they are crazy
Although he has made great strides recently, he did not know that he was prepared for a war with Cronus.
Lucas’ words caused confusion.
Marquis Drake was a man with a platform, but an all-out war with Cronus was not a matter to be taken lightly.
It is different from simply blocking enemy attacks at the border.
If war was declared against demons like Cronus, the Kingdom of Umberto could have gone down the path of destruction with just one choice.
got into trouble
Then Calderon Drake spoke.
“father. May I say something?”
“Tell me.”
“If you look back at Roman Dmitri’s career, there have been no coincidences. He created the situation himself and put Dmitri in his current position. I think this is a similar problem. If only Roman Dmitry had decided to go to war and gave us a chance like this. It’s fair to say that they clearly have something to deal with Kronos.”
I saw Lucas.
As a prosecutor, Calderon Drake sincerely admired Roman Dmitri’s career.
“I won’t give you any guarantees about the future here. But if the day comes when Roman Dmitri really proves the war against Kronos in action. Drake will not miss that opportunity.”
that day.
The rich had many conversations.
And when Roman Dmitri declared war, they contacted him and promised a new future.
* * *
Boom.
Communication was lost.
King Odelia was stunned.
I was shocked beyond words to hear that Drake had followed Roman Dmitri in the first place.
“… Roman Dmitry did not wage a reckless war. First of all, Hector Redford Umberto Cairo. It was to secure the support of the majority of the kingdoms on the continent and to prove that the Kronos Empire could be defeated with only Dmitri’s power. I didn’t even know that, and I made such stupid judgments.”
I got goosebumps.
Roman Dmitri was bold, but he was not a person who excluded reality.
Cairo and Hector were secured as allies from the beginning, and the kingdom of Redford was favored by the work of the Earl of Rondon.
and Umberto.
They drew a picture for a new game by stimulating the Drake family, which supports the kingdom of Umberto, rather than conciliating the weak king.
at last.
From the beginning, Dmitri did not need the support of the Kingdom Alliance.
Rather than just trying to appease Frank and Odelia, he tested the sincerity of the two kingdoms with an unconventional move.
The King of the Franks was quick-witted.
In a rapidly changing situation, Frank followed the trend, but King Odelia made the choice to join the Cronus Empire after much thought.
It was hopeless.
He wanted to rip his own mouth open, but even if he turned back time, he didn’t seem to make any other choice.
“… father. Why did my father make me so weak?”
former king.
King Odelia’s father said this as he looked at his son inheriting the crown.
“The king’s seat is not a place that is so enjoyable. Remember the pain of your ancestors. Not a single one of the ancestors who held their heads stiff against the mighty Cronus Empire and the Valhalla Empire did not escape a hopeless end. Some kings went to the empire and bowed their heads dozens of times, and some kings had their heads blown off and hung on the walls. That is Odelia’s reality. The king of a small country must be satisfied with the power and life befitting a small country.”
he is.
He looked at his son with a sad face.
Because the days he lived were not so pleasant.
His father and grandfather told him desperately how the king of a small country should act in order to survive.
He passed on his teachings for the life of his son. He believed that there was no way to escape from Kronos’ spell in the future.
and those memories.
became shackles
King Odelia couldn’t bear to see a new future even though Dmitri appeared.
Odelia’s ancestors.
Their despair and their pain were deeply imprinted in their bones.
“… If my father had told me something different, would I have made a different choice than I do now?”
no.
It was impossible.
He had lived that way and was not allowed to imagine a new future.
It was then.
jump!
“Seongmun Seo! The gates have been breached!”
The subordinate shouted.
Seeing his despairing expression, King Odelia tightly closed her eyes.
The kingdom of Odelia.
His fate was here.
* * *
Pole to pole.
Unlike Odelia, who had entered the path of downfall, the King of the Franks moved into the conference room with dignity.
“His Majesty the King is entering!”
The roaring voice of the knight.
The top leaders got up from their seats and bowed their heads.
Upon entering, the King of Franks sat in the upper seat and received the respectful gazes of the leaders.
“Your Majesty’s choice was right. With Dmitri defeating Kronos, we are freed from the clutches of the Empire.”
“How on earth can you be born with such great insight? I knew right away that His Majesty’s eyes were different from those of criminals, but I was truly impressed as I watched him lead the Frankish kingdom with a bold decision. I will take this opportunity to once again swear allegiance to His Majesty the King!”
“Long live His Majesty the King of the Franks!”
There was an uproar.
At Dmitri’s victory news, they reacted with joy more than anyone else.
“Ha ha ha ha ha. Everyone is putting gold on my face. I just judged that I could no longer watch the atrocities of the Cronos Empire after watching the current flow. The real great person is Roman Dmitri. I thought I was fully prepared as much as I declared war first, but I didn’t know that I would defeat Cronus by force.”
“That would have never occurred to anyone on the continent.”
“is it. Ha ha ha ha.”
smiled cheerfully.
The King of the Franks did not hide his joy as much as his neck was visible.
either way.
At the crossroads of the two, the Frankish kingdom chose Dmitri after much thought.
however.
When he heard the news that the kingdom of Odelia was attacked by the Kronos Empire and that Dmitri had defeated the Kronos Empire, he got goosebumps.
Odelia’s end may have been Frank’s future.
If he suddenly accepted the plan of the Cronus Empire, Frank could not be safe.
His judgment was right.
From now on, I had to make sure to save the advantageous situation.
said the King of the Franks.
“The Kronos Empire proved that it could not coexist with the kingdoms of the continent by attacking the Kingdom of Odelia. Now is your chance. At this time when Dmitri defeated Kronos, we must secure favorable conditions for us by driving the Kronos Empire. So mobilize your forces right now. Immediately after holding a meeting with the new Kingdom Alliance tomorrow, I will take revenge on the Cronus Empire that despised and persecuted the Franks.”
made a decision
The leaders responded enthusiastically to the order of the King of Franks, saying it was a wise decision.
and the next day.
The King of the Franks heard the devastating news.
“what? Kronos wants a truce?!”
that.
It was an unexpected development that I hadn’t even imagined.
* * *
Agent of Kronos.
It was Baron Charlton.
After finding Kairos, he looked at the King of Cairo who was sitting in the high seat and said,
“This war started with a minor conflict. I fully understand how Dmitri and Cairo were angry and declared war, but I hope that His Majesty the Emperor Kronos will end the war for now. So how about declaring a ceasefire? This decision was not made because of defeat on the Western Front. The Kronos Empire has already completed all preparations for the follow-up attack, but His Majesty the Emperor Kronos made such a merciful choice because he no longer wanted indiscreet sacrifices.”
he was bold
Even after losing the war, he raised his head stiffly as if he had nothing to bow down to even after mentioning the armistice first.
Enemies were on all sides.
Dmitri’s people glared at him, but living as Kronos’ agent, he never felt fear. That his background is the Kronos Empire. It gave me infinite confidence.
“I don’t think this truce is a low-key business for Dmitri and Cairo. If you go all the way with Kronos, will you have the confidence to handle Kronos with the power of the two kingdoms? Don’t judge everything by just one win. and specially. If you accept the truce, I will spare King Odelia as a sign of peace. Odelia’s capital is now in a state of being captured by Cronus, but we will guarantee the safety of Odelia in order to prove our sincerity. Please make a wise choice.”
it never
It wasn’t a loser’s demand.
Kronos’ proposal showed a degree of coercion that the meaning of the proposal was colorless.
It was then.
“Dmitry Roman. What do you think of Kronos’ proposal?”
The King of Cairo handed over the right to speak.
Knowing that Roman Dmitri was a real powerhouse, people’s eyes naturally focused on one place.
OK.
said Roman Dmitry.
“Baron Charlton. Who made the law not to kill messengers in the middle of a war?”
It was obvious inferiority.
Baron Charlton exclaimed with a reddened face as if seeing him refrain from talking even in public.
“Be polite!”
“The Continental Law speaks of the duty to protect the ‘messengers’. I admit that too. By the way, did you follow the legal process as a messenger? They didn’t ask us for permission in advance, and they didn’t raise the white flag first. The Cronus Empire arrogantly notified the messenger of the warp. According to the procedure specified in the Continental Law, you are not a being that can be defined as a messenger.”
“… what is that?”
Moment.
Baron Charlton was taken aback.
I had no idea that Roman Dmitri would react like this.
“We are still at war, Baron Charlton.”
showed intent to kill.
Even without pulling out his sword, he suppressed the existence of people with just his eyes.
“If you want to exist as a messenger in the middle of enemy lines, kneel down with the meaning of raising a white flag.”
