Chapter 321 Prisoner of War (6)
Remarks by the Marquis of Memphis.
I couldn’t deny it.
Roman Dmitri won the victory with a bold move that surpassed whatever was expected so far.
Particularly, knowing that Valhalla and Cronus were aiming for Roman Dmitri’s life at the same time, his participation in Valhalla’s festival clearly proved what kind of existence he was.
He wasn’t swayed in the slightest by the objective difference in power.
Obviously, it was impossible to deal with the two empires with Dmitri’s power alone, but he overturned the situation with his individual skills.
The Marquis of Creut also admitted it.
There was no way to punish Roman Dmitri unless he was prepared to go to the extreme again.
but.
“I know. What kind of existence is Roman Dmitry? Unlike those who have been trembling for the name of Kronos, Roman Dmitri does not back down. By the way. We are the Kronos Empire. Kronos’ identity lies in reigning, and we don’t care who he is. Just like Roman Dmitry!”
set of circumstances.
I understood in my head.
I didn’t know what the Marquis of Memphis was talking about, but Cronus is not a country that is commonly used as common sense.
“When I signed a truce with Dmitry. I couldn’t accept that choice wholeheartedly. I think most of you here are probably no different from me. Since when did we ever accept a compromise with the enemy? Cronus was a country that would make an enemy kneel down and admit their fault even if they slapped their opponent simply because they did not like it. No matter how others criticize Kronos for his irrationality. We were proud of the fact that the Kronos Empire was such a great power!”
recent.
I didn’t like Kronos’ move.
In a history marked by defeat, the Marquis of Creut had no intention of just watching idly.
“Tell me the truth. Why did His Majesty the Emperor Cronus go to rest and what is he planning for a year from now? If you don’t tell us the truth, we need special measures this time.”
It was tough.
Looking at the Marquis of Memphis, he added strength to his voice.
It was an immediate situation.
The nobles gathered in the great meeting room held their breath, and the Marquis of Memphis looked at the Marquis of Croyt without saying anything.
Conversation was cut off.
The Marquis of Creut clearly expressed his thoughts, but his face grew hotter as time went on in a situation where no reply came back.
“Are you sure you want to come out like that? All right. I will go back to the manor and find people like me to publicize this issue.”
slap.
I turned my steps.
He left the conference room with a furious face.
This was unimaginable even a year ago.
The Marquis of Memphis was the agent of Emperor Cronus, and raising a voice against him, even if not the emperor himself, was acceptable as defiance.
The authority of Emperor Kronos came from his overwhelming power.
Continued defeat was gradually destroying the seemingly invincible authority.
It was then.
Shuk.
I heard something being pulled out.
The moment the Marquis of Creut turned his head at the strange appearance, a strong shock pierced his stomach.
hooked!
A sword that pierces the abdomen.
I opened my eyes.
In my violently shaking vision, I saw the face of the Marquis of Memphis, stained with madness.
* * *
Spit out blood.
Kneeling down on his weakening body, the Marquis of Creut looked up at his opponent with an expression of disbelief.
“… vs why?”
Creut family.
real estate of the empire.
No matter how little it has been pushed out, it is not an existence that can be dealt with so easily.
At the movement to pull out the sword with a pitiful hand, the Marquis of Memphis smirked as he stabbed it even harder.
“Don’t get me wrong. The basis of the Kronos Empire all came from His Majesty the Emperor. But why do I have to return alive a being like you who questioned His Majesty’s orders?”
Pooh.
I drew my sword.
The gushing blood made the Marquis of Creut fall to the ground and lose focus.
“Castro.”
“yes.”
“I order as the agent of His Majesty the Emperor. Send your troops right now and kill all those related to the Croyt family. Existences who have maintained close friendships with Creut through their will, leaving the relationship of simple blood relatives, are also included in the list of purges. This is to correct the discipline of Kronos. It has to be handled with certainty that no single exception exists.”
“All right.”
1st place in Chronos ranking.
Castro, the head of the Royal Knights, moved on with a calm face.
The atmosphere was chilly and frozen.
No one else could have imagined that the Kreut family would fall into such a futile ruin.
The Marquis of Memphis turned his head.
When the nobles averted their eyes in amazement, they showed bloody smiles.
“Creud is an idiot. Born as an aristocrat of the Kronos Empire, he spat out absurd remarks that denied the empire’s history. keep in mind The history of the Kronos Empire has never allowed defeat. It wasn’t because the opponents were weak. There were some who showed considerable dignity, such as Roman Dmitri, but they invariably knelt down and bowed to Kronos.”
followed the aristocrats.
The nobles couldn’t bear to turn their heads at the blood dripping on the floor at the ferocious voice.
“If anyone doubts Kronos’ victory. Look back at the history of the continent. How Kronos has won so far. Why is Kronos called the continent’s most powerful country? The power that Roman Dmitri faced is only a part of Kronos. Foolish and pathetic guys are already cheering as if they won over Kronos just by destroying a part of it, but those who know the truth of Kronos do not doubt their victory. Victory was destined from the beginning. Only the degree of victory is decided by His Majesty the Emperor, and Roman Dmitry has aroused his wrath.”
1 year.
The count has begun.
When Emperor Cronus raises his troops once again, then nothing will be able to stop him.
“Trust the Emperor. As history repeats itself, the history of victory will be with the Kronos Empire forever.”
Admitted.
the Kronos.
He never showed his strength.
Because the continent was overwhelmed with only a portion of it, people did not dare to think of confronting the Cronus Empire.
He bowed his head.
people realized
Marquis of Memphis.
how he got his position as a real powerhouse.
Although he possessed excellent ability and cruel aspect enough to rise to the position, above all, his blind faith towards the royal family made the current Marquis of Memphis.
The most favored royal dog of Emperor Cronus.
The Marquis of Memphis was faithful to his role as an agent of power no matter what kind of evaluation he received in later generations.
sat in the seat of honor
Then.
“Never doubt the power of the Empire like the stupid Marquis of Creut.”
With a careless expression, he wiped the blood from his face.

Dmitri’s move.
The world turned upside down.
Even when the rumors first spread, people doubted the truth of the rumors from the news they had heard from Dmitry.
“Dmitri attacking Kronos!”
“… Are you really trying to nullify the armistice negotiations like this?”
“Roman Dmitry is definitely not an ordinary person. Just because the Kronos Empire hid Dmitri’s prisoners, they led their troops across the border without hesitation. The problem is the Kronos Empire’s response. Even if they had no intention of actually declaring war, the Empire would not stand still.”
People’s attention was focused.
It was impossible to predict what results of Roman Dmitri’s bold move would return.
however.
“This crazy. Roman Dmitri killed all those who tortured prisoners in Kronos’ territory!”
“Did the Kronos Empire obediently release the prisoners? Surely the world has changed. If it is the Kronos Empire we know, it is normal to raise your voice with a red flag, but since your opponent is Roman Dmitri, you compromise to some extent. Actually, if you think about it, they even offered 500,000 gold for a truce, but they cannot resume the war because of their own problems.”
“Is this going to keep the truce negotiations going?”
after a while
A second shock hit people.
Dmitri’s attack.
Even though the promise was fulfilled, the general people could not maintain their composure when they said that the foremost defensive position had been captured.
“… You crossed the line after all.”
“it’s over. There is no way to stop the Second Continental War now.”
“I don’t know if this will be good for Dmitri as a result, but if I’m Dmitri’s person, my loyalty to Roman Dmitri will be stronger. Just because you hid and tortured Dmitri’s captives, you crossed the Kronos border and attacked yourself.”
Second Continental War.
There was an uproar.
People were convinced of war.
When Kronos was attacked like this, he thought there was no reason to keep the armistice to the end.
a day or two.
Time passed.
Unlike people making a fuss and preparing for war, the Kronos Empire did not show any action.
* * *
The world was in an uproar.
Words of people talking about the possibility of war also reached Edwin Hector’s ears.
‘How the hell does Roman Dmitri make such a bold decision?’
I saw the situation differently.
if.
If he had been in Roman Dmitri’s position, would he have been able to retrieve Dmitri’s prisoners in the same way?
It was impossible.
If it really turned into a war, it would be bad for Dmitri, so he would have thought about how to get the prisoners back by referring to the contents of the ‘truce negotiations’ as much as possible.
That was common sense.
Since it is a sensitive issue, it is politics between countries to compromise even with enemies in order to avoid bloodshed.
however.
Roman Dmitry made a breakthrough.
crossed the border
Killed those related to the captives.
Even that was not enough, and the foremost defensive positions were burned, but the Cronus Empire did not respond in any way.
It was a difference in strength.
Since Roman Dmitri has shown clear results in the meantime, I knew that no matter how much the empire was, it would be difficult for them to handle if they provoked Roman Dmitri.
It was amazing.
Kronos, who never considered himself on an equal footing except for the Empire, took a step back following the truce.
admired
Roman Dmitri’s moves have always exceeded Edwin Hector’s expectations.
‘I can’t say that it’s unconditionally good for Dmitri. From the truce negotiations to this issue. Cronus, who did not allow compromise, suppresses their anger as much as possible. This is not a simple matter. It must mean that you will give up your pride to some extent in order to look back on your own problems and win a certain victory, rather than repeating mistakes in the face of continuous defeat. If the Kronos Empire once again reveals its ambition to conquer the continent. Dmitri and Kronos. Entities like hot fire will collide head-on without backing down and decide the fate of the continent.’
It was certain.
The news of people praising Dmitri in the future did not sound so pleasant.
The world has changed rapidly.
In the past, if the position of the weak was allowed, the fate of the nation would be at risk if one side was not chosen in the future.
‘I can’t protect Hector at my level right now. You have to be strong. Help Dmitri to thwart the ambitions of the Kronos Empire. No matter what the cost, you must be strong.’
took a step
Not Prince Edwin Hector.
Now was the time to spend an intense time as a mage.
* * *
Same topic.
same information.
But I thought differently about him.
While Edwin Hector’s concerns about Cronus grew, the King of the Franks focused on other points.
“Ughhhhhh. The Frankish kingdom is experiencing a period of revival by a wise king!”
crossroads of choice.
The King of the Franks chose Dmitry.
At that time, there was a lot of talk inside the kingdom, but winning the war was not enough, and the recent move to overwhelm the Kronos Empire delighted him.
A great shift of power was taking place.
Originally, Kronos and the two mountain ranges of the Valhalla continent led everything, but now Dmitri was among them.
new power.
Dmitri’s status has changed.
If you think about the future that will change centering on them, you need to work on the ground quickly from now on.
“So how can I impress Dmitri?”
The opponent was Count Samir.
An existence trusted by the King of the Franks.
I gave him a special order, and now it was my turn to check the results.
“A special event is planned for Dmitri just in time.”
“… A special event?”
“yes. Isn’t Dmitry Roman famous for being terrifying for his people? However, Lauren Dmitri, the third son of the Dmitri family, has recently been promoted to Class A of the Cairo Royal Academy. There is a promotion ceremony scheduled for five days from now, and it seems that there is a very high probability that Duke Dmitri will attend.”
“okay?”
eyes widened
I was tempted.
Certainly, anyone on the level of Lauren Dmitri could be said to be an important presence in the Dmitri family.
said the King of the Franks.
“Call a meeting right now! We’ll decide what Dmitri likes through the meeting.”
Eyes burning with intense longing.
that’s simply.
It was not a phenomenon unique to the Frankish kingdom.
D-day 5 days.
In line with this captivity incident, the Salamander Continent’s attention began to turn to the Cairo Royal Academy.
