Chapter 416 Winner Takes It All (2)
The remark just now.
Count Snowdin doubted his ears.
He looked at Roman Dmitri and said in a trembling voice.
“… It’s a former criminal country. Valhalla officially signed an armistice, and didn’t misunderstandings be resolved in the process? I took a difficult step to discuss the future of the continent, and if you say that, I can’t help but be embarrassed.”
I swallowed dry saliva.
Something went terribly wrong.
Roman Dmitri’s mention of a sensitive issue, and the expressions of other people who are not taken aback by the current situation.
But I could never react in anger.
He knew instinctively that he could return alive in this place only if he did not accept anything that could be regarded as a problem as a problem.
and.
At Roman Dmitri’s remarks that followed, Count Snowdin’s heart sank.
“Count Snowdin. The starting point of this war was the Valhalla Empire. Since Valhalla attacked me to cover up the ugly truth, the flames of war spread across the continent. But how can you say that Valhalla is not responsible? In order to discuss the future of the continent, this issue must be resolved once and for all.”
It was chilly.
Unlike the other representatives, the feeling of uneasiness became more prevalent in the attitude where there was no manners.
The trap was certain.
The reason why Valhalla was brought into this place was to put Valhalla on the judgment table in the first place.
It was then.
When Roman Dmitri looked at him, Lucas took a step forward.
“From now on, I will tell you what the Dmitry Information Guild has investigated. The conflict between Dmitry and Valhalla begins in the southern tomb. In order to confirm the truth of the data that Kronos was directly involved in the history of Valhalla, we investigated his activities so far, and as a result, we confirmed that the Duke of Vieto was present when Stern Valhalla ascended to the throne. The data secretly recorded by the captain of the guard contained a truth different from that claimed by the Duke of Vieto. If so, we have no choice but to question this situation. If the Duke of Vieto had anything to do with Stern Valhalla, what did they hope to achieve through civil war?”
Soldiers handed out materials.
In addition to the secret journal of the captain of the guard, the Duke of Vieto’s whereabouts were revealed in various places.
“Since this is a sensitive issue, we will exclude speculative remarks from this announcement. What is certain is that on the day of Stern Valhalla’s bloody purge, the Duke of Vieto was the one who took the lead. The truth of the civil war between Stern Valhalla and the Duke of Vieto was actually just a show by people who had the same purpose from the beginning. And Count Snowdin, who is here, is a person who discussed a lot with the Duke of Vieto. From the time when the bloody purge took place a long time ago.”
Lucas looked at Count Snowdin.
He concluded the report with a calm voice in his eyes shaking with anxiety.
“That is all.”
* * *
It was an extrovert.
Valhalla’s truth.
If Duke Vieto was the one who led the bloody purge, Count Snowdin couldn’t escape the responsibility either.
excuses for not knowing?
It made no sense.
The decision maker is the one responsible for the outcome, and above all, this issue was the treatment of war criminals.
If Valhalla waged a continental war to bury their ugly truth, I couldn’t refute what Roman Dmitri first mentioned.
I felt like I was bleeding.
Roman Dmitri said in a situation where he couldn’t figure out how to react.
“Alexander was unforgivable. He drew the power of black magic for his personal desire, and as a result, the continent fell into chaos. Count Snowdin. How do you think the people related to Alexander should be treated in order for the continent to move in the right direction in the future?”
“… I’m sorry I only attended the Duke of Vieto, but I don’t know what he planned.”
took a step back
Even knowing that it doesn’t make any sense.
I had no choice but to assert my irrelevance.
In order to somehow save his life, he had to insist that he had no intentions in this situation.
Roman Dmitry laughed.
“That’s not the right answer. Duke of Stern Valhalla and Vieto. They had the same purpose from the beginning, and Alexander was at the center of it. The civil war in Valhalla was thoroughly calculated. They only pretended to threaten each other, but when they were cornered, they didn’t stop breathing. In fact, looking back now, it was a very unusual situation. The fact that Duke Vieto’s rebel army was able to hold out without collapsing was able to destroy the capital of Valhalla with only that amount of troops and deal with Stern Valhalla. In the course of the series, you and the Duke of Vieto made all the decisions together. Then there are two truths you can assert. One knew the truth, or the other was incompetent and stupid enough to know nothing even though he was at the center of the truth. And whatever is true… … .”
My heart raced.
Facing Roman Dmitri’s gaze, Count Snowdin felt as if his life force was burning away.
“There is no reason to keep you alive.”
I closed my eyes tightly.
at last.
It was as expected.
For Count Snowdin, who took power after the death of Duke Vieto, there was no way to avoid this situation from the beginning.
The ugly truth of Valhalla could not be denied.
If that happened, the materials of the tomb would have to be disclosed, but at that time it was clear that they would be dragged to the scaffold even more horribly.
My mind went blank.
How the hell did this happen?
Obviously, even when heading to Cronus, he talked about the distant future while cooperating with the leaders of Valhalla.
Even if it is really humiliating now, I firmly believed that the decision to throw away my pride was for the future.
however.
The results were disastrous.
The thought that it was all planned from the start gave Count Snowdin goosebumps.
‘It was intentional from the beginning of the truce negotiations. Roman Dmitri didn’t want to give me a chance, but he must have proposed a truce to exclude Valhalla from the process of dealing with the Kronos Empire. Even though he had already secured the data to put us in a corner from then on, he completely played with us. If I had noticed Roman Dmitri’s intentions at that time, I would have fought to the end like Cronus, but I don’t have the strength to fight right now.’
finished.
However, I couldn’t accept the reality.
If I showed an acknowledgment, it would be like digging my own grave.
the only way.
I had no choice but to appeal to public opinion.
Count Snowdin raised his voice while changing his expression because there were other representatives watching him.
“This is an unfair treatment. Dmitri is not qualified to judge Valhalla. The same goes for other delegates. If you support Dmitri in this way, the arrow may be pointed at you later. I deny all of Dmitri’s allegations and will set up a meeting to clarify them as soon as possible.”
woke up
I tried to avoid the seat once.
That moment.
snap.
baek!
head hit the table.
I opened my eyes wide with a puzzled face, but no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn’t shake off the hand pressing down on my head.
It was Kevin.
Kevin whispered into Count Snodine’s ear as he pressed his face down.
“Get there. If you don’t want your tongue cut.”
Only then did I know
A cold gaze focused on oneself.
The fact that his judgment was already pre-arranged.
* * *
Things have been sorted out.
Count Snowdin was dragged away by the soldiers, and it was decided that the execution ceremony would be carried out en masse afterwards.
now.
It was time to discuss the future in earnest.
said Roman Dmitry.
“First of all, we plan to conduct a massive purge of those involved in the Continental War, including Count Snowdin. There are no exceptions. Even if not directly involved, those who actively participated will be held accountable, and this opportunity will surely eradicate the remnants of Alexander.”
“What are you going to do after that? Someone has to replace the seat that has become vacant.”
It was King Redford.
I explained the plan prepared in advance to the expected questions.
“The purpose of this war is not to destroy and merge the two empires. Valhalla and Kronos have maintained their own identities for a long time, and in the aftermath of the war, each country has determined that it is necessary to maintain its original system in order to regain stability. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s the same as before. Valhalla and Kronos will still exist as one nation, but they will not be able to wield the same power as before, being controlled by the Kingdom Alliance. Therefore, the vacancy will be replaced by others.”
already.
Picked up a few characters.
Profiles of the most influential figures among them were compiled and shown to the representatives of each country.
“As a result of discussions with the two imperial factions that helped in this war, they wanted to present the figures listed in the data. The Valhalla Empire is Baron Eyren. When Valhalla declared continental war, he rallied the rest of the forces and fought against Count Snowdin. Although the title is only a baron, he already has considerable support within Valhalla. The Kronos Empire was created by Jowelson Kreut. The Croyt family has been a prestigious family in Cronus for generations, and the people of the Croyt family have made a great contribution in this war. Both figures will be fully recognized for their legitimacy in their own countries.”
“This is the best option for now.”
“The worrying part is that an empire is an empire after all. Do you think you can control them after you regain your powers later?”
Some positive comments.
Some expressed negative comments.
In response to King Umberto’s question, Roman Dmitri said.
“That is the purpose of the Kingdom Union. The Kingdom Alliance will take on the role of monitoring the entire continent, not just for the private interests of the nations present at this event. Dmitri is no different. If someone tries to repeat the mistakes of the past, then the power of the kingdom union will strongly stop them. I’ll ask you guys. Cronus goes to Valhalla. Do you think they can achieve something even if they do things that worry them in the future?”
It was great confidence.
and.
I had no choice but to admit it.
Even when Alexander’s plan reached its climax, the continent’s two major mountain ranges faced a disastrous defeat.
However, no matter how much time goes by, can he overcome the wall of Roman Dmitri, which will become stronger? Simply put, it was impossible.
Victory in this war in the first place was possible for Roman Dmitry.
In the world he will create in the future, no one will be able to overlook Dmitri’s existence.
people in this place.
they knew the truth
The fact that if Roman Dmitri shows a coercive attitude like Kronos, no one can stop it.
Nevertheless, Roman Dmitry spoke common sense.
Everyone proposed a way to live by forming their own fence, and everyone was not aware that it was not easy for the strong to give up their rights.
It was then.
“There is something I want to tell you.”
Edwin Hector.
After remaining silent throughout the meeting, he spoke for the first time.
* * *
said Edwin Hector.
“I agree with the direction Roman Dmitri is talking about. If you try to forcibly merge Kronos and Valhalla, which have more than half the population of the continent, the cultural differences that arise in the process will inevitably cause problems. In the end, acknowledging each other’s domain is the way to solve the fundamental problem. But before that, there are issues that need to be resolved.”
The world was changing.
In this raging current, Edwin Hector knew what to prioritize.
“Cronus and Valhalla, which led the continent, have collapsed. In order to keep the law that everyone thinks is right in the new world to live in, we need someone who can control the continent. In fact, this war was very abnormal. The Kingdom Alliance was pushed out of power, but Roman Dmitri led the war to victory with a single presence. From then on, I think the relationship between the top and the bottom has already been decided. And regarding this, the heads of the Kingdom Union held a separate meeting a few days ago.”
The voice grew louder and louder.
What I am saying now.
It was the decision of the kingdom union.
No one forced them, but they came to a conclusion themselves.
Edwin Hector lowered his head and shouted.
“My lord. Become the emperor of a new empire and rule over us.”
at the same time.
The heads of the other kingdoms simultaneously bowed their heads.
“Become the emperor of a new empire and rule over us.”
“Become the emperor of a new empire and rule over us.”
It made sense.
kingdom union.
They accepted Roman Dmitry as the leader of the new world.
