Roman's suggestion.
wasn't common.
While proclaiming himself the Sword of Cairo, Roman Dmitry spoke of transaction rather than loyalty to the royal family..
so that.
Daniel Cairo could not respond positively..
I always hoped that the aristocratic faction would collapse due to the chaotic power system, but I was afraid of what price it would demand..
It was the reaction I expected.
Through the silence, Roman spoke.
“When Hector's kingdom crossed the border, I was on the southern front. Cairo fell in an instant. The lax defense system was unable to stop Hector's kingdom's intentions, and the warp gate fell into the hands of the enemy without any resistance. At that time, do you know what I thought? While hiding in the mountains with his troops, he resented why the Cairo royal family did not respond quickly. Clearly the Kingdom of Cairo had its moment. The defense system may be weak, but if we had faced the danger and responded quickly, the entire southern front would not have been taken over..”
It was a rebuke.
Whether people showed signs of indignation or not, they pointed out the errors of the Cairo royal family..
“Cairo learned of the problems with its power system through this incident. But has anything changed at all over the past year? doesn't exist. Whenever the Kronos Empire made a threatening move on the Western Front, the Cairo royal family held a meeting to wait and see the situation until the central government approved it. This is truly foolish. Even though we knew what was wrong, we ultimately chose to stand by and watch..”
four factions.
This is Cairo's fundamental problem..
A relationship like a magic bomb cannot be touched hastily, so even after experiencing the events of the Southern Front, the problem was not resolved..
“The current situation on the Salamander Continent is unusual. In a situation where war could break out at any moment, Cairo would have no way to hold out if the Kronos Empire crossed the border. Knowing that fact, how long are you going to stand by? Someone must seize power. We must unite Cairo and have a systematic structure to respond to future events. And I think that is rightly His Majesty's responsibility. I think His Majesty the King should take the center stage, not Marquis Benedict, who talks about the central government and pretends that he is the king..”
I put strength into my voice.
People's eyes were shaking.
Roman's remarks.
The words praising the king made their hearts beat..
“I attacked Marquis Benedict for forcing me to make a choice. Your Majesty may be suspicious of my intentions, but I want you to know that Dmitry made a risky choice. The Dmitry family risked their lives on this matter. If His Majesty ignores Dmitry's choice, Dmitry and I have no choice but to take on all the risks. So take your pick. Do you plan to watch until the end? Or will you take advantage of this situation that Dmitry set in motion??”
Passed the choice.
now.
It was the king's part..
Daniel Cairo, who had been silent for a while, soon asked with a decision on his face..
“There are things to ask before making a decision. What does the Dmitry family want in return for this incident??”
The promise mentioned by Roman.
Now, that was important..
* * *
new life.
What is your goal in this life??
Roman Dmitry wants to rise to the top, but that doesn't mean he wants to swallow up Cairo and build an empire..
Dmitri is enough for Roman's desired goal..
In order to completely control a huge land mass, there was no intention to trample on the culture of the entire continent and carry out senseless massacres..
past life.
Baek Jung-hyeok's conquest of Wulin was different from the existing methods..
If the beings who once commanded the martial arts world wanted to completely control the martial arts world, what Baek Jung-hyuk sought was mental submission..
Political faction, Sa faction, and other forces.
They continued to live the same way as before, but when asked who the sky of martial arts was, they sincerely said Baek Jung-hyuk, the Demon of Heaven..
That's it..
Destroy all forces trying to stop the conquest of Wulin..
Baek Jung-hyuk returned to Hundred Thousand Mountains again..
Rather than trying to control a huge chunk of land, the people of Wulin created a structure in which they had no choice but to sincerely support the Heavenly Demon Religion..
From then on, Baek Jung-hyuk became a sanctuary..
As before, the martial powers fought with each other, but they did not dare to look up at Baek Jung-hyuk of the Heavenly Demon Church..
In this way, Murim achieved a period of peace and prosperity..
If you look through history.
Moorim faced a crisis due to beings who always thought dangerous thoughts..
However, at the time when Baek Jung-hyuk was alive and well, there was a certain absolute being, and because he held the center, we could not even dare to attempt dangerous thoughts..
That was Baek Jung-hyuk’s martial arts world..
It was not an empire in the sense of unilaterally exploiting others and receiving tribute, but a rule based on complete psychological control..
The life of Roman Dmitry.
This life was no different.
Roman hoped to reach the top, but it was different from the continental conquest that the Kronos Empire was talking about..
‘I will plant the roots of the Heavenly Demon Church in Dmitry. I do not wish for unconditional destruction in the process. I will definitely trample on the forces that stand in my way, but if necessary, I will acknowledge their existence and allow them to exist, whether in Cairo or anything else. And when everyone finally recognized Dmitry as the best on the continent. I will return to Dmitry and find my own peace..’
a firm goal.
I cleared my head..
and now.
In response to Daniel Cairo's question, Roman Dmitry honestly revealed his purpose..
“I hope for independence for the northeastern region, including Dmitry. If the area northeast of Cairo is recognized as an independent power and given the title of principality, Dmitry will always use his power for Cairo as he has the same roots as Cairo. This does not mean that we will break away from Cairo and take a completely independent course. Go with Cairo, but we want to build our own world.”
That's at first glance.
It was a remark implying rebellion..
Looking at Daniel Cairo's shocked expression, Roman nailed it with an unwavering voice..
“His Majesty the King. If you can't have it all, take Cairo as your best option.”
* * *
The atmosphere has become cold..
Roman's remarks.
I don't know if it was the king's voluntary choice, but the king's faction could not accept it favorably in a situation where the opposite was requested..
“His Majesty the King. This is not.”
“you're right. Is there any place in the world where the title of principality is granted at the request of a subject? Dmitry's intention is to take advantage of his own interests in the name of the noble faction. You must never allow it..”
The royalists protested..
Roman smiled at them..
“Yes, that's right. This is not the case. But is there any other option? While the people here remained silent despite the atrocities committed by the noble faction, I drew my sword against them. I have seen blood, and from now on I must fully endure the fight against the noble faction. I just want my sacrifice to be rewarded. The principality is derived from Cairo, and Cairo and Dmitry will forever be a community of destiny. All I want is the strength to face what lies ahead. If they show a complacent attitude like they did on the southern front, then they will be able to give clear advice as an independent force..”
drew a line.
It's not a rebellion.
Although such intentions may seem clear, Roman Dmitry had no intention of making them fully understand..
this was a deal
With the entire northeastern region falling apart, I knew I couldn't hope for any positive favors..
at last.
The choice was up to the king..
With eyes focused on him, Daniel Cairo was lost in thought..
‘What should I do with this?.’
Roman Dmitry.
Even though he was surrounded by soldiers without any weapons, he did not look fearful, but instead showed a confident attitude..
It's not arrogance.
Even if an order is given to attack Roman,.
The Royal Knight will not be able to subdue Roman Dmitri.
From the moment he defeated Count Nicholas, Roman knew that Cairo was a monster he could no longer control..
‘Roman Dmitry's proposal is not necessarily wrong. I watched in incompetence as Cairo's power system was torn apart. If it weren't for Dmitri's help, I wouldn't have even thought of opposing the noble faction in the first place. However, if the Cairo royal family insists on royal rights without any sacrifice, Dmitry has no choice but to think differently. Right after Dmitri defeated the noble faction. They have no problem with revolting. You have that much power, and all you have to do is create a cause. Even though he knew that fact, Roman Dmitry gave him the opportunity to accompany him..’
I faced reality.
Daniel Cairo.
Although he was called a weak king, he was not an idiot who was unaware of reality..
the royal family has no power.
If Dmitry's power was used to correct the chaos in the kingdom, it wouldn't be a bad business..
‘Roman Dmitry began what the Cairo royal family had never dared to do. That fact alone made Dmitry a figure completely uncontrollable by the Cairo royal family. Then Cairo must choose. Will he live happily with the current system, or will he give up what he cannot have and take Cairo in a new direction?.’
already.
The choice has been made.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that there was no reason to think about it for a long time..
‘I hoped to achieve my kingdom every time. Even if Roman Dmitry had impure intentions, nothing could be worse than being swayed by those who presented me as a scarecrow and then changing his name. Roman Dmitry at least spoke his honest thoughts. In that case, it would be right to lead the relationship with Dmitry positively by making a clear choice..’
this decision.
I knew it was a risky choice..
If you believe in one person, Dmitry, and get a head start, your life cannot be guaranteed..
but.
I gained confidence by watching Roman Dmitry..
I believed that this man would definitely finish what he could not do..
“I promise you this on the honor of the Cairo royal family. If this is all over. The northeastern area, including Dmitry, will be called a principality, and Baron Dmitry will be given the title of duke. So tell me everything you need to win the war. And be sure to punish Marquis Benedict for his treason that is disturbing the country..”
The order was given.
Cairo was in chaos.
It was the moment when the king called the Scarecrow finally made a decision..
* * *
the country was noisy.
As the aristocratic faction clashed with Dmitri, Count Denver, who followed Valhalla, watched the situation from his home..
“Roman Dmitry. He's such a scary guy..”
It was a series of surprises..
He couldn't hide his surprise at just defeating Count Nicolas, and then attacked Marquis Benedict's aristocratic faction..
Usually, a person like the Earl of Denver thinks about the number of cases..
Although Roman Dmitry could defeat Count Nicholas, he could not even imagine a clash with the noble faction..
‘Roman Dmitry made a decision. Rather than choosing one force and entrusting oneself to it, it means creating an independent force like the Dmitri Alliance was formed. Since they directly attacked Marquis Benedict in the capital Kairos, Dmitry and the noble faction cannot stop fighting until one of them dies..’
Squeak.
I leaned back in my chair..
I laughed.
Although the situation was going to the extreme, it didn't seem all that bad to the Count of Denver..
‘According to reports, Roman Dmitry headed to the palace. Although it is unclear whether he planned this in advance with the king, it can be interpreted that he intended to borrow the king's power in a confrontation with the noble faction. It's a confrontation between the king's faction, Dmitry's faction, and the noble faction. It will be a fight worth watching. When the two forces end up fighting to the death, all I have to do is sort out the chaotic situation and give Valhalla an advantage..’
There is only one risk.
Chronospa led by Gregory.
They are probably thinking the same thing as you, so if you are not fully prepared, you may end up being eaten by them..
I was excited.
Cairo.
It is a country in ruins..
Rather than sacrificing my life for a country like this, I hoped to quickly sacrifice it to the empire and secure a place in it..
It was then.
Suddenly.
“My lord! I'm in big trouble!”
“What's going on?.”
He was a knight of the family..
When the Count of Denver frowned, the knight spoke with an urgent expression..
“Roman Dmitry led his troops and stormed into the mansion. The atmosphere is unusual. Get away quickly... … Ugh!”
Powok.
The knight's body fell sideways..
behind the door.
A man appeared.
Romin Dmitry walked out slowly and looked down at Count Denver..
“Count of Denver. From now on, obey the king’s command..”
The Count of Denver opens his eyes.
Starting the purge.
The first thing Roman Dmitry chose to do was to eliminate the seeds of conflict..
