Chapter 404 Conquest of the Continent (3)
Count Fabius walked naturally.
No one told him to come in, no one was there to welcome him, but he took a chair out of an empty seat and sat down as if he were going in and out of his own house.
People’s eyes followed the series of processes.
Count Fabius leaned back in his chair, raised his head arrogantly, and said curtly:
“Why are you all looking at me like that?”
“… Count Fabius. This is a place to discuss the future of Valhalla. Not only did we not invite Count Fabius, but we don’t know what will happen if we recklessly set foot in the other country during wartime.”
It was Count Snowdin.
Despite his threatening remarks, Count Fabius was not greatly agitated, only tottering his toes.
“Yes yes. I’m sure I don’t even know such an obvious fact. I was definitely invited to attend this event. The 29 families in Valhalla, led by Baron Eyren, have expressed their intention to have a serious discussion with Dmitri about this issue. Isn’t that right, Baron Eirn?”
“you’re right.”
“Look. It’s a little uncomfortable to plant when you look at people with that kind of eyes without knowing everything.”
a few days ago.
Changes have taken place within Valhalla.
The identity of Emperor Alexander shocked them immensely, and nobles who questioned the alliance between Valhalla and Cronus came together.
The focal point was Baron Irene.
After he formed a coalition of 29 families, he contacted Dmitry directly and arranged a surprise invitation to Count Fabius.
Origin of Valhalla.
No matter how much it has changed over the years, the nobles with the boiling blood of warriors could not tolerate the current situation.
Count Snowdin showed an uncomfortable feeling.
It was a deliberately scratchy remark, but it was impossible to openly refuse a conversation in this situation.
“All right. So what’s the point?”
“I wanted to ask each other how they are doing and have a light conversation, but they are very impatient. great. Let’s get straight to the point. As you know, this war revealed the identity of ‘Emperor Alexander’. The ghost of the past, who should have died a long time ago, was alive, and he had committed many evil acts through the Kronos Empire. By the way. According to what the lord of Jeju confirmed in the southern tomb, the fact that the former emperor Stern Valhalla and the Duke of Vieto had a deep relationship with Cronus… … .”
“That is not true. There is no such fact in the southern tombs and we are not associated with Kronos.”
I cut off my words.
Count Fabius laughed heartily.
the expected sea.
The people of Valhalla have great pride as an empire, so if they accept the fact that they are Cronus’ servants, a huge riot will occur.
Naturally, there was a high probability that people like Count Snowdin, who is currently leading the alliance with Cronus, would be caught alive and burned.
That’s why he cut off the conversation before he could say anything more, and Count Fabius continued with a smile as if he was having a lot of fun.
“I understand. Even I can’t believe that there is such an ugly truth behind a great nation like the Valhalla Empire. Actually, the solution to this problem is very simple. Why didn’t you release the material from the southern tomb? Wouldn’t it have dispelled all doubts if the data were never physically destroyed and could never be modified? Above all, when my lord punished the emperor of Valhalla, I understand the anger at the situation, but why didn’t Valhalla show the slightest movement to confirm the truth?”
“We have no reason to explain such bullshit.”
“So this four months will come. Historically, the relationship between Valhalla and Kronos has been questioned. People call the two empires the two great mountains of the continent and describe each other as obstacles that hinder each other’s goals, but if you look closely at history, the truth is different. Just as my lord was attacked by Cronus on his way back from the Valhalla festival, when Valhalla declared war against Dmitri, Cronus raised his troops as if he had been waiting. The two empires seemed to agree when it was really needed.”
“but… .”
“Hello, Count Snowdin. You know very well that what I am saying now is not about one or two things that have happened recently. This has been repeated historically. And in a situation like now, when the identity of Emperor Alexander was revealed… … .”
The atmosphere changed drastically.
Sharply scanned the opponent.
Count Fabius leaned forward and met Count Snowdin’s gaze as if looking inside.
“How should we accept Valhalla’s move to help Kronos?”
* * *
It was an embarrassing situation.
Moment.
Count Snowdin had a hunch.
It was a trap.
If he said anything wrong, he would become a traitor who sold his country, but the problem was complicated to punish Count Fabius.
The 29 families that formed a coalition led by Baron Eyren. Their presence prevented them from mobilizing Valhalla’s power.
It would be possible to wipe them out if they were suppressed by force, but problems would arise if the forces that supported the public sentiment were touched carelessly.
furthermore.
‘Dmitri’s demon.’
Kevin’s presence caught my eye.
Kevin kept his seat behind Count Fabius, but when the atmosphere became threatening, he looked around with calm eyes.
Like finding out how many enemies you have to deal with.
Even after entering the middle of Valhalla, Fabius and Kevin acted like humans who had completely lost their fear.
Their appearance was not pretentious.
What Fabius did.
Rumor has it that Kevin recently dealt with Ares.
The layer upon layer of achievements centered around Dmitri suppressed Count Snowdin’s anger.
endured
Now was the time to take a step back.
“… All of that is speculation. If there were circumstances that could be misunderstood, there is no other way to explain them than that they were accidental. And the materials recorded in the tombs of the South cannot be made public. It’s not that we don’t want to explain, it’s a problem that can’t be explained. In fact, if you ask us about the intentions of the war, we have no choice but to be frustrated. The Emperor of Valhalla is dead. No matter what the truth is, isn’t it a very natural choice to take revenge as a dori who has become a subject?”
An excuse within common sense.
It was as expected.
Count Fabius twitched.
From the moment he took even one step back, the initiative in this war of words became his.
“I understand. The lord was also a little overzealous. I should have gone through the process of persuasion and killed the Emperor of Valhalla, but as soon as I knew the truth, I immediately punished him. Shouldn’t we gradually clear up each other’s misunderstandings and solve the problem in front of us for now?”
It was an exquisite technique.
It seemed that the killing of the Emperor of Valhalla had nothing to do with the expression that was said to be radical.
“I will believe in Valhalla. I will trust Count Snowdin. Alexandre was not involved in Valhalla’s history, and I think the problem arose when Duke Vieto arbitrarily colluded with Cronus. Since Valhalla did not know the truth, it would have had no choice but to start a war. So from now on, just keep an eye on it. Once it has been revealed that the Kronos Empire is a group of evil, wouldn’t it be a priority to clean them up? I won’t ask for help with the war. Until we clear up our misunderstandings, please step back so we don’t misunderstand Valhalla.”
laughed
A typical strong-weak-weak.
Seeing the frightened weakling, Count Fabius felt pleasure.
“If you show sympathy for Kronos. At that time, you can’t help but think that Valhalla has something to do with Kronos and Emperor Alexander.”
* * *
The conversation is over.
Count Snowdin nodded with a miserable face.
Logic was completely dominated, and in order to overcome the crisis in front of them, they had no choice but to accept Fabius’ proposal.
Came out.
Kevin followed and asked Count Fabius.
“I don’t quite understand. It is clear that Count Snowdin has some sort of deal with Kronos. We actually have the evidence, so why aren’t we dealing with him?”
It was a pure question.
This trip to Valhalla.
Thinking that a battle might happen, Kevin was mentally preparing for the situation with the enemies.
However, the atmosphere was smoother than expected.
When Count Fabius seized the initiative once, Count Snowdin nodded with a docile face, but showed no hostility.
said Count Fabius.
“Kevin. Work has priorities. What is important to Dmitri now is an all-out war with Kronos, and it is not a problem to deal with the isolated Valhalla alone after achieving the objective. That’s why I put shackles on Valhalla’s ankles. Today’s events do not allow Valhalla to move recklessly. The reason I visited through Baron Eirin is to form another force to check Count Snowdin’s forces. From now on, in order for Valhalla to decide that it will continue the war, it will have to deal with not only external but also internal resistance.”
Valhalla.
they split in two
A power system that has lost its center, as Cairo did, will not be able to move toward a single goal.
“Even if Baron Irn betrays Dmitri or Count Snodin launches a civil war and seizes complete control of Valhalla. There is nothing bad about us. They will gnaw the inside again to unify the system of power, and then they intend to ignite the public sentiment of Valhalla. If so, the enemy they will be dealing with will not be Dmitri and the kingdom union, but the angry people of Valhalla.”
The reason why Baron Irn moved.
It originated from Haomen.
They spread rumors that stimulated public sentiment, and Baron Eyren, who gained strength from public sentiment, formed a force.
any situation.
It was planned.
As soon as he figured out that Alexander’s identity would become a weapon, Roman Dmitri mobilized the people and quickly gnawed Valhalla from the inside out.
And Hao Mun and Count Fabius perfectly turned Roman Dmitri’s picture into reality.
Even if it was intended, actually making it was another matter.
Kevin was amazed again.
“… that’s the intention Incredible.”
actually.
Kevin didn’t like Count Fabius.
With his blind loyalty to Roman Dmitri, he could not trust the bat-like man who had once been loyal to Marquis Benedict.
A person is difficult only once.
He did not like the situation in which Count Fabius was entrusted with a serious mission, thinking that he could betray twice at any time.
but.
As time passed, my thoughts changed.
‘Dmitri will be an empire in the future. In order to manage a huge land mass, someone like Count Fabius would be needed.’
Admitted.
Count Fabius.
He was definitely the person Dmitry needed.
* * *
It was an instant that the charter changed.
the next morning.
The Valhalla Empire has officially announced its position.
“Alexander is plain evil. We have determined that we cannot sympathize with the Kronos Empire, and will step back until the authenticity is confirmed. If it turns out that the heads of Kronos were directly related to and aligned with Alexander. The Valhalla Empire will define Kronos as an enemy of mankind.”
It was the right response.
It was a remark that calmed the angry people of Valhalla, and thanks to this, Hector Kingdom was able to overcome the crisis.
And that wasn’t all.
that time.
Frank and Redford organized the mob in earnest.
At the time Alexander was alive, the unknown power they used was strong, but it was not difficult to sort things out when they lost their power and withered.
Kronos and Valhalla and the lawless riots. Among them, two problems that put the Kingdom Union in crisis were sorted out.
As a Kingdom Alliance, the plate was now made to focus on the Cronus Empire, and the army led by Roman Dmitri went on a rampage.
at the forefront.
Hermann was there.
Hermann did not hesitate to walk within arrow’s reach, risking his life to prove his worth.
“I am Hermann, a soldier of the Kronos Empire. The war is already over. Valhalla has abandoned its alliance with Kronos, and the entire Alliance of Kingdoms is mustering forces to bring down the Kronos Empire. Why are you guys fighting for Kronos? Some may call me a traitor for standing here on behalf of Dmitry, but I do not consider my actions a traitor. The powerful people of the Kronos Empire hid the existence of Alexander and deceived the innocent people, and although we did nothing wrong, we were classified as enemies of mankind and were in danger of dying. It is not simply a matter of sharing the country’s risk. the Kronos. This country is clearly wrong, and if you truly think about it, you must correct it so that it moves in the right direction. And only Roman Dmitry can do that. Dmitri’s history, which has been based on accurate laws, rather than simply judging all issues with black and white logic, has brought me to this position.”
Hermann’s remarks were exquisite.
After making him accept the hopeless reality, he relieved the guilt of betraying Cronus.
We are doing the right thing.
not a traitor
Dmitri’s way of accepting the words Herman shouted and the beings who were actually his enemies and endowing them with wealth and glory according to their abilities gave strength to Hermann’s logic.
Hermann’s speech worked perfectly.
People who were shocked by the existence of Emperor Alexander willingly opened the city gates, and sometimes those who would fight for Cronus to the end killed all of them, leaving a precedent.
The consequences of the choice were clear.
fight or surrender
live or die
Cronus, which lost its pride as an empire, continued to collapse like dominoes.
about a fortnight.
When a fort was captured, its commander raised a white flag and asked for dialogue.
“Dmitry Roman. The Marquis of Memphis wants to talk.”
Marquis of Memphis.
Finally he moved.
* * *
Beyond the screen.
I saw the face of the Marquis of Memphis.
The gaze that had been arrogantly looking down at the opponent, who was full of imperial pride, had now softened.
[I’ll tell you directly.]
The past 15 days.
He’s had a really busy time.
Getting in touch with Roman Dmitri took some preparation and finally made the perfect plate for today.
[You have succeeded in secretly taking control of the imperial family. I will hand over Emperor Kronos. Why don’t you finish this matter by killing him and returning with the result that Dmitri won.]
Declaration of surrender.
As he pondered over and over again in his office, he chose the only way he could survive.
