Chapter 519 Conquest of Seoul (6)
Yeongdeungpo.
A large crowd gathered there.
President Kim Jung-tae appeared on the stage where people looked up to him, receiving enthusiastic cheers.
“Hello, this is President Kim Jeong-tae.”
The cheers died down.
People focused on Kim Jung-tae’s words.
President of Korea.
As a figure who leads the country in a turbulent era, he is portrayed as a villain by the locals, but it was different to the people of Seoul.
As a result, Seoul had a safe day.
Every time a catastrophe struck, Kim Jeong-tae had no choice but to look like a hero to the citizens of Seoul because he somehow secured the safety of Seoul.
he.
called people together
Not all Seoulites support him, but at least those gathered here praise him.
“The reason I stand in front of you is because of a heinous villain named Roman Dmitri. He rallied the local forces to revolt. Waging a civil war in the middle of a cataclysm is a clear crime against international law, but they have taken advantage of the chaos in South Korea to push the country to the brink. Does this make any sense? Now, it is impossible to guarantee survival even if we join forces to fight monsters. That is his essence. No one who thinks of this country can rebel at a time like this.”
I excluded the parts that were unfavorable to me.
reign of Kim Jong-tae.
There was an appropriate information distortion.
He cut down his enemies and hid the local pain as much as possible.
Because the people of Seoul could not properly face the truth, they had no choice but to evaluate only the achievements of Kim Jeong-tae.
“Not only that. Roman Dmitry slaughtered all those who supported the central government, such as Hanam Guri. he’s a killer It is a monster that wants to destroy Korea. Folks. Roman Dmitry cut off the head of the mayor of Hanam just because he was against him. No matter how chaotic the world is, if you look at such a cruel hand, it is clear that it is a monster wearing a human mask. The Ministry of Information of the Republic of Korea tried to find out, but could not confirm the origin of Roman Dmitri. An unknown entity is trying to devour the Republic of Korea. There are two possibilities. Either a foreign country is trying to destroy the Republic of Korea, or it is just a monstrous human being carrying out an unreasonable slaughter.”
Highlighted the provocative part.
Why Roman Dmitry rebelled.
The fact that the central government tried to recruit Roman Dmitri, but was rejected, and figures in the central government, such as the procurement officer, revealed their murderous intentions, and so on.
I never said anything that could justify Roman Dmitri’s actions.
It had to be.
Support from Seoul citizens.
With their support alone, Kim Jeong-tae’s power was solid.
Knowing that fact, now that the rebellion has risen, Kim Jeong-tae has put an anesthetic in the perception of the citizens of Seoul.
“I will protect Korea. I will protect Seoul. So please believe in me and give me strength. Do not be swayed by the words of the insurgents and support the justice that this Kim Jong-tae does. As always, I will protect Seoul!”
“Kim Jeong-tae! Kim Jeong-tae!”
“Kim Jeong-tae! Kim Jeong-tae!”
People chanted his name.
They were instigators.
When the people who had been planted in advance shouted, the citizens raised their voices as if hypnotized.
“Kim Jeong-tae! Kim Jeong-tae!”
“Kim Jeong-tae! Kim Jeong-tae!”
“President! I believe!”
“Please defeat the rebel forces.”
An atmosphere that spreads like fire.
Seeing people chanting his name, Kim Jung-tae smiled brightly.
* * *
The speech is over.
As Kim Jeong-tae came down from the stage, his bright smile showed a cold expression as his vision was blocked.
“Bug-like bastards. You don’t even know who is alive thanks to you, and you express your dissatisfaction at everything.”
this speech.
made intentionally
While the rebel forces were fighting, they took care of the citizens, and the citizens informed the people of Seoul of their situation.
That was the problem. Seoul citizens are in chaos. They believed what Kim Jong-tae said was the truth, but the rebels showed that they cared for the same people.
And the reality of the province spread quickly.
Due to the people who talked about why the local government had no choice but to revolt, Kim Jong-tae hastily arrested them for rebellion and then made a speech.
An anesthetic was injected into the brain.
to become numb to reality.
to trust yourself.
Kim Jung-tae manipulated perception.
If we wipe out the rebels now, they will disappear without a chance to reveal the truth.
“What about Roman Dmitry?”
“A little while ago, even the light was destroyed. Perhaps they will attack Seoul soon after the reorganization.”
“Tsk tsk, even though the rebels warned of an attack in advance, they couldn’t stand it for several days. This is why it is said that there is no talent available in Korea. Is there any possibility that Roman Dmitri will attack Yeongdeungpo right here?”
“doesn’t exist. As the white-clad wizard joined the rebels, the locations of Yeongdeungpo’s main strongholds were exposed. However, in anticipation of that fact, layers of magic interference were formed. Even a white-clad wizard cannot use teleport magic to break through magic interference, and if he appears in the middle of Yeongdeungpo, he will be cornered by the troops waiting in advance.”
“Roman Dmitry. What a stupid guy. If you were going to rebel, you should have handled things carefully.”
Kim Jung-tae smirked.
Roman Dmitry had his own hand.
If the goal was to change the new regime, he needed to prove a sufficient purpose for insurrection.
Something that must be accompanied by public sentiment.
However, it was not enough to cause a civil war to the extent of violating international law, and he showed a cruel hand that slaughtered people from the same country.
People believe only what they see.
Even if his bystanders have killed countless people, he has no choice but to point his finger at the person who killed him.
It was stupid.
If Roman Dmitri had legitimately won public sentiment.
Even if it took time, he would have been at a disadvantage.
Thanks to the hasty handling of the matter, it was able to preoccupy an advantageous situation, such as attracting China.
“No matter how strong Roman Dmitri is, he is obviously a novice in politics. There’s no way that such an idiot has a background. order each legislator If the defense system is solidified and endured, Chinese reinforcements and personal guards will be sent to subdue the rebels. Cities near Seoul are used to buy time, but the moment you set foot in Seoul, you cannot send them alive.”
“All right.”
He changed his expression again.
In preparation for the citizens he will encounter on the way to the car, he has changed into a benevolent and strong president again.
It was then.
One of the bodyguards ran up and shouted.
“The Great President! Roman Dmitry has appeared in Yeongdeungpo Square right now!”
“what?!”
possibility of an emergency.
that.
It was an incredibly shocking development.
* * *
It was too frank.
The sky distorted and Roman Dmitri appeared, and he landed on the ground with a calm face.
widely.
“… what is this?”
“It’s Roman Dmitry!”
“The leader of the rebel forces has appeared!”
At first I doubted my eyes.
The soldiers, who were looking at Roman Dmitri with bewildered faces, made a picture of besieging Roman Dmitri belatedly squealing.
It wasn’t hundreds or thousands. There were tens of thousands of soldiers, and among them were talented hunters representing Seoul.
chuckle.
A situation on a whim.
The atmosphere turned grim.
Roman Dmitri calmly watched them and then shouted so that the citizens at a distance could hear them.
“From now on, I want to condemn Kim Jung-tae and the central government for bringing the Republic of Korea into abyss. Until now, they have sacrificed the entire Republic of Korea for the safety of a few powerful people. Local governments turned a blind eye to whatever difficulties they faced, and local governments who did not follow their orders were not only cut off from aid, but also forced to die by direct threats. I also experienced their intimidation. Whether you follow the central government or be harmed by the central government. I knew that this country had to be reborn in the choice they were forced to make.”
“gibberish!”
“I can’t believe what you say!”
the soldiers shouted.
One of them scathingly criticized Roman Dmitry.
“You killed all the soldiers in Hanam! How can we believe the words of a killer like you?”
It was the effect of the speech.
The cause of the rebellion is sufficient, but people stumbled over other topics.
Roman Dmitry reacted coldly.
“Why does killing enemies matter?”
“An enemy! People like us in Hanam-do… … .”
“That is bullshit. I knew I couldn’t go along with the central government, so I gave options to local powers, including Hanam. Will you follow me or the central government. Those who chose the central government even though they knew this country was wrong, I defined as my enemies. The fact that they are citizens of this country and that individual soldiers may have special circumstances is of no importance. Even if they are forced into battle, I cannot allow the possibility that my people will be endangered by the undue mercy shown them. one in a million I want to annihilate the enemies without fail and not to shed any more blood. Because the war of those who talk about peace will never end.”
Kim Jeong-tae’s speech.
It didn’t make any sense.
Roman Dmitri has no intention of impressing everyone.
The reputation that fell to the bottom of him who put his people first did not affect the general trend.
“It would have been better if he hadn’t stood on the opposite side of me from the beginning. I rebelled and didn’t harm a single citizen. Whatever you believe is free, but you will pay the price according to what you believe.”
Seruk.
I drew my sword.
Enemies were visible.
Common sense would make it impossible to handle such a large number of people, but Roman Dmitri did not hesitate to move on.
“From now on, I will regard all who stand in my way as enemies.”
* * *
Shortly after receiving news of the mutiny.
The capital’s defense forces conducted countless drills.
When the rebels show up in the middle of Yeongdeungpo, how to deal with the opponent with the number of people.
It was like training.
The soldiers rushed in.
Charged from all sides, they radiated confidence from their numbers.
however.
Flash.
Papa papa pat.
head blown off
The soldiers who rushed in first were splattered with blood, and the disaster swept them before the soldiers who followed had time to react.
Screams were heard from all sides. No one could withstand a single blow against Roman Dmitri.
As if crashing against a breakwater, the waves rushing in fiercely broke away at once.
overwhelming.
There is only one opponent.
The soldiers of the capital did not doubt victory and from then on attacked allies and enemies alike.
“Fire Cannon.”
“Rampage.”
Fire, fire, fire.
Papa papapat.
person-to-person attack.
The allies around him could have been swept away, but rather used them as bait to capture Roman Dmitri. This was also part of the training.
In the process of dealing with the enemy, Kim Jeong-tae ordered not to choose any means and methods, and like that, roaring flames and hundreds of arrows hit the allies as they were.
“Ah!”
“Quaaaaagh!”
It was a grim sight.
They attacked Roman Dmitri at the cost of their allies’ lives, but their attacks did not yield any meaningful results.
sudden.
Roaring.
came out through the flames.
Due to the Divine Fire, the flame gave Roman Dmitri strong power, and even though it was an arrow that used a skill, it lost its power before it touched the skin.
It was overwhelming magic. Roman Dmitri parried away all ranged attacks, then rushed forward, burrowing into the enemy-infested space.
Flash.
puck.
I cut my head.
The opponent was an A-rank Hunter.
He blocked Roman Dmitri with his plausible skill, but the way he died was not much different from that of an ordinary soldier.
Flash.
“Quaaaaagh!”
The same was true of the Hunter whose arm was blown off.
The B-class Hunter attempted a surprise attack, but Roman Dmitri cut off his forearm as he let the attack slip away in a matter of seconds.
Roman Dmitry also agrees that this fight is eating away at the Republic of Korea. But even so, it was a necessary process.
Kim Jeong-tae took root in the Republic of Korea for 20 years and built a strong fortress that could never be demolished by an unreasonable attack.
The current Republic of Korea is wrong from the root.
Rather than persuading people who believed that Kim Jong-tae was right, it was necessary to cut out the rotten roots they believed in.
Kronos.
Valhalla.
They were the same in a previous life.
Because of Alexandre, their insides have rotted beyond recovery.
Conversation was not permitted.
In the first place, because they walked the opposite path of their ambitions, they did not admit their fault until the moment they perished and argued until the end.
After a long war, the continent has regained peace. Roman Dmitri’s method definitely calls for a lot of blood, but I don’t think it’s wrong.
the conversation.
to do with humans.
People who have already sacrificed people for their own desires need a proper condemnation, not a dialogue.
Kim Jung-tae was like that.
Shed a lot of blood.
He has accumulated karma for 20 years.
By checking information from the central government, Roman Dmitry ruled out their existence from the start.
Incheon government.
Busan government.
Ulsan government and so on.
In order to survive in the era of great chaos, the beings who were desperate were accepted, but the central government, which had the most powerful force in Korea, did not accept it. That was the difference.
If the central government realized its position even a little bit and played a role appropriate for it. Roman Dmitry may have looked back on his relationship with them.
That was the reason he accepted Edwin Hector, who attacked Cairo for Hector, as his subordinate, but did not accept Kim Jeong-tae, who sacrificed his own people for his own safety.
Flash.
puck.
He killed every enemy he encountered.
ignorance also.
their sins
Also ignoring reality.
their sins
If this remains his karma, Roman Dmitri will gladly bear it for the sake of those who follow him.
You could say it’s selfish. He did not deny the words that criticized him for being cruel.
Whether living as the heavenly demon, Baek Joong-hyeok, or living as Emperor Roman Dmitri, what he pursues is not general justice, but peace for those who follow him.
Kim Jung-tae’s Republic of Korea did not qualify to enter its own fence.
overwhelming force.
People were astonished.
At first, I doubted Roman Dmitry’s intentions.
As the saying goes, Seongdonggyukseo (聲東擊西), I drew attention here and believed that there were other plans.
Not now.
It was only then that they realized Roman Dmitri’s sincerity as they saw him cut down over a thousand soldiers in an instant.
“… no way.”
sure
Roman Dmitry.
He intended to slaughter all these enemies alone.
