Chapter 343 A Country That Lost Romance (1)
That Time.
Returning to Dmitri, Roman Dmitri met Sanchez as expected by Count Bragan.
“I heard it by rumor. He joined the Duke of Vieto and is leading the rebellion.”
“yes. Thanks to the advice from Roman Dmitri. To resist the atrocities of the Emperor of Valhalla, I needed the help of a magnate like Duke Vieto, and he gladly accepted my offer.”
“So, what is the business that came to see me?”
Sanchez laughed.
It was the same in the past and now.
Even then, Roman Dmitri was a clear-cut person.
Even in a situation where Valhalla was openly threatened, he did not ask for help and instead advised him to go to the Duke of Vieto.
As a result, Sanchez’s future changed drastically.
As a disciple of Morales, who only pursued strength, he now realizes the importance of politics and follows Vieto to become the core of the rebel faction.
blast furnace.
The meeting with Roman Dmitry was important.
Even if there was a kite in the past, the other person was not a person who would do a favor without a price.
Sanchez said.
“… First of all, I will briefly explain the situation in Valhalla. Currently, the Valhalla Empire is divided into the forces of the Emperor of Valhalla and the rebel forces following Duke Vieto. Our rebel faction seeks to restore Valhalla to its roots. As you know, Valhalla was originally a country of warriors who competed purely for strength, and they were able to gain support from the people by criticizing the actions of the Emperor of Valhalla, which faded its meaning. The problem is that you cannot defeat the Emperor of Valhalla with that alone.”
rebel forces.
They spread widely and raised their voices.
Looking at the cheering people, I was sure of victory, but the reality that unfolded before my eyes was hopeless.
The emperor’s soldiers attacked.
All those who joined the rebels were slaughtered, and those who had just been crying out for the foundations of Valhalla fell to the ground with fear-stained faces.
There was no way.
Everyone knows that the cause of the rebellion is good, but the reason they have been silent so far is because of the overwhelming force of the imperial family.
massacre.
died in vain
The horse is a rebel force, but so far it has been one-sidedly yielding to the emperor’s power.
“Right now, we have no odds. The highest rankers in Valhalla have followed the Emperor since the time when he was not mentioned as a successor, and the Valhalla Military Department is showing blind loyalty towards the Emperor. I’ll tell you straight forward. We need Dmitri’s help. We desperately need a solution to fill the gap because the rebels alone can never defeat the emperor.”
today.
Valhalla’s powerful people paid attention to Roman Dmitri.
Despite not being a member of Valhalla, his progress and recognition within Valhalla were overwhelming.
“The people of Valhalla describe Roman Dmitri as a true warrior. Even after knowing that Cronus and the two major mountains of the Valhalla continent were seeking their lives, they participated in the Valhalla festival, defeated Barbossa at once, and returned to Dmitri. People still talk about it. I am sure that Roman Dmitri’s joining the rebel faction will have a tremendous effect not just for its power increase, but for its symbolism alone. If you help us take down the Emperor of Valhalla. As an ally of Dmitri, Valhalla will give full support.”
It was a win-win.
Not only to secure symbolism.
It was a deal to obtain a powerful being called Roman Dmitri who could slaughter Valhalla’s top rankers.
I just had to make it happen.
Sanchez spat out each word with earnest heart.
however.
“I cannot accept any proposal that involves direct participation in the rebellion in Valhalla.”
An answer without the slightest hesitation.
Roman Dmitri looked at the embarrassed Sanchez and said firmly.
“Precisely, it means that I cannot be Valhalla’s solution.”
* * *
It was an embarrassing answer.
I wasn’t sure that he would help me unconditionally, but I didn’t expect him to refuse so quickly.
Think about it.
The Emperor of Valhalla had a bad relationship with Roman Dmitry.
With the intention of killing Roman Dmitri, he invited him to the Valhalla festival, and when Barbossa was defeated, he stood by the Cronus Empire’s attack.
At that moment, the relationship was sorted out.
Roman Dmitri, who has proven how to deal with hostile forces through his actions, will surely not miss the opportunity to avenge the Emperor of Valhalla.
furthermore.
Recently, Valhalla has shown signs of colluding with Kronos.
It was a simple matter.
Kronos had a hostile relationship with Dmitri, so it was necessary to eliminate the Valhalla Emperor who could be allied with Kronos.
The alliance with the rebel faction is literally in the full interest of Roman Dmitri.
If the danger of Valhalla was rather secured as an ally, there could be no more ideal result than this.
What was questionable was the nuance of Roman Dmitri.
Rather than a complete rejection, it left room for counter-questions.
Sanchez asked.
“May I ask what you mean?”
“It’s just what I heard. If I join the civil war in Valhalla and lead the rebellion, the cause you stand for will inevitably lose its power. Valhalla is a country of pure blood. No matter how much I have a good reputation in Valhalla, the moment a non-Valhallan person points a sword at the Valhalla emperor, the people will turn away. I will ask you. If the rebel forces lose even the support of the people, do you think you have a chance?”
“… doesn’t exist.”
“okay. Therefore, bringing down the emperor from his position must be done with the power of Valhalla alone.”
It was a complicated situation.
What the people of Valhalla want is not simply to change power, but to find the root of Valhalla.
But what if an outsider leads the process?
There was nothing funnier than that.
As a rebel force that was overwhelmingly pushed back in power, there was virtually no chance of winning if it lost even the support of the people.
Sanchez is in a dilemma.
I had to get help from Roman Dmitri somehow to make up for the difference in power, but after the realistic problem was pointed out, the future looked bleak.
The water spilled.
If you step back from here.
It was clear that the Emperor of Valhalla would execute all those who had joined the rebellion, leaving no one behind.
suddenly.
The word direct comes to mind.
Doesn’t the meaning that you can’t help directly mean that you can help indirectly on the contrary?
It was then.
said Roman Dmitry.
“But it is possible to help indirectly. A matter of Dmitri and Valhalla, which has nothing to do with you. Not in a way that lifts you up, but in a way that brings down others. In order to make this deal, I will have to pay for it too. My condition is simple.”
“… What is it?”
laughed
From the very beginning of meeting Sanchez, whom he had no choice but to accept as an opponent, Roman Dmitri had an answer.
“A temporary alliance valid until Kronos is defeated. I hope Valhalla will not stand in my way.”
* * *
The same words had different meanings depending on the nuance.
Sanchez.
Roman Dmitry.
The bar presented to each other was the same.
Both said to bring down the Emperor of Valhalla and form a union between Dmitri and Valhalla, but if Sanchez desired coexistence, Roman Dmitri demanded a temporary understanding.
After achieving each other’s purpose, you can turn around at any time.
A relationship that cannot be said to be a perfect ally.
Sanchez thought for a while.
He knew that he might be hostile in the future, but he had no other option.
“I will accept Dmitri’s offer.”
like that.
Sanchez left.
Roman Dmitri decided to go ahead with his plan, and the rebels and Dmitri joined hands, albeit temporarily.
space left alone.
Dmitry Roman thought of the future as he drank tea.
“Alexander. You want me to join the civil war.”
The scene seen through the world tree.
Alexandre is leading a civil war in Valhalla, and obviously wants Roman Dmitri to get caught up in the rebellion as well.
It was a very ideal scenario for Cronus.
As the Valhalla Emperor and the rebels clash, they will erode Valhalla’s power and at the same time, Roman Dmitri will be hit as well.
Didn’t worry.
One method is to withdraw one’s feet and conserve strength, but that was far from the direction he was thinking of.
‘I will not avoid it.’
onlooking.
Stealing from afar won’t solve the problem.
If the Emperor of Valhalla subdued the rebellion, then he had to worry about the worst case scenario of Cronus and Valhalla being united.
Roman Dmitry did not entrust his future to heaven.
From the beginning, he will lead the civil war in Valhalla and will achieve the desired outcome even at the cost of sacrifice.
For that reason.
Sanchez offered a temporary union.
Roman Dmitry accepted the union of kingdoms.
Luna and Cairo Hector said they would become subjects, but the other countries still had a strong sense of union.
But I didn’t draw a clear line against them.
Countries accustomed to being ruled by the strong from the beginning would naturally accept Dmitri, but the Valhalla Empire had different prerequisites.
they are predators
Beings who do not know how to surrender.
Even if Cronus collapses, Valhalla will still be able to exist as the two great mountain ranges with Dmitri, but it will not accept bowing its head as a subject country.
So I drew a line. It was made clear that this was a temporary alliance.
He would join the rebel forces to gnaw Valhalla’s power and prepare for a war with Cronus, but he did not hide the fact that Roman Dmitri’s goal was beyond that.
That was why Sanchez was embarrassed.
He was at a loss for words at the great ambition, but from the beginning it was an offer he could not refuse.
led the situation.
Kronos instigates war.
Valhalla wants help.
Everyone wants to attract Dmitri, but in the end, Roman Dmitri did his will.
widely.
put the teacup down
“Hans.”
“Yes, did you call?”
From now on, there is a lot of work to be done.

That evening.
Wandering around the guest room, Count Bragan chewed his nails.
“… Are you saying you won’t meet me at all?”
Sanchez is leaving.
I asked for a meeting right away.
I thought I would see him now, but the servant who served Roman Dmitri said no.
“Right now, the young master is taking care of personal affairs. If you are waiting in the guest room, we will contact you as soon as the time is right.”
As I waited so long, the day got dark.
I was annoyed.
It wasn’t unavoidable that he had ill feelings toward the Emperor of Valhalla, but still, keeping Valhalla’s guests waiting wasn’t the right response.
If Kronos and Valhalla even join hands.
No matter how strong Roman Dmitri is, there is no way to handle the two empires.
If you are a decision maker who is responsible for a country, regardless of your personal feelings, it is not a matter of responding emotionally.
endured once.
If you rush it, you may get things wrong.
Count Bragan suppressed his boiling anger and waited for Roman Dmitri to find him.
day.
Two days.
On the third day, at sunrise, Count Bragan exploded.
“Damn it, Dmitri. How long are you going to wait? Billy!”
“yes.”
Billy was an escort driver.
As he entered, he said in a nervous voice.
“It’s okay if we don’t have to meet right away, so don’t choose any means and methods to schedule an appointment. We are not the ones to be treated like this. If you show that fact, even Roman Dmitry will not put off meeting you any longer.”
“All right.”
Negotiations are not necessarily about bowing down.
As it is.
Even if he sat at the negotiating table, he would inevitably lose the initiative, so he needed to reveal his position.
Representative of Valhalla.
It is not a position to be ignored.
To carry the Emperor of Valhalla on his back was worth it.
dump.
sat down on the sofa
From now on, it was time to wait.
Count Bragan enjoyed the scent of the tea, softening a little at the thought that good news would now arrive.
But 30 minutes later.
Sigh.
“… Count Bae.”
Billy came in.
His face, which had been elated even when he received orders, had changed so badly that he could not be recognized at once.
“What’s happening?!”
I jumped up from my seat.
What the hell happened in the last 30 minutes?
Billy said in a terrified voice.
“… Kevin.Dmitri’s demon made me this way.”
