a few days ago now.
The decision of the noble faction to attack Roman Dmitri left Count Fabius alone in deep distress..
“……Uhmmm.”
No matter how much I thought about it, the financial calculations were not right..
Roman Dmitry.
The Holy Spirit of Cairo was defeated one by one, starting from 99th place in the rankings, and was finally about to face a decisive battle with Count Nicholas, the undisputed number one..
Marquis Benedict said that if Roman Dmitry rejected the aristocratic faction's proposal, it should be dealt with on the spot, but in fact, that was not a very realistic statement..
‘I experienced what kind of person Roman Dmitry was on the southern front. Even if the noble faction brings in an army-sized force, will they be able to subdue Roman Dmitry by force? Absolutely impossible. Marquis Benedict thinks that right after the open ranking match is his opportunity, but in fact, defeating Count Nicholas means that Roman Dmitry has become much stronger than he was a year ago. The monster that defeated Butler and opened the gate must have now reached a level that cannot be approached..’
1years ago.
Count Fabius was on the southern front.
While other nobles only talked, he took action and experienced what was happening in the field..
Roman's Force.
I was literally thrilled..
It was amazing that he walked alone and defeated Butler, but the sight of him opening the castle gate and slaughtering the enemy was enough to make you think that the devil had descended on this world..
The memories of that time remained strong..
Count Fabius actively insisted on recruiting Roman Dmitri, and his thoughts remain the same now..
Roman Dmitry.
subject to appeasement.
Absolutely, I couldn't think of any possibility of opposing him..
‘The problem is whether Roman Dmitry will surrender when he mentions a rebellion. That guy is definitely not the kind of guy who will kneel down obediently. People are convinced that he couldn't make the decision to draw the sword on Kairos, but if he had any sense, he would have chosen to run away from the Southern Front as well..’
then.
From now on, it was a matter of choice..
decisive battle day.
If you don't send troops, there is a chance that you will be labeled as a member of the noble faction..
If Roman Dmitry surrendered or was killed, Count Fabius would have to endure the disadvantages of his decision..
It's not just about a tower that you worked hard to build collapsing..
Marquis Benedict is a man of good character, so he will try to completely erase Count Fabius' power from Cairo..
I thought about it for a while.
what is right.
We also considered the possibility that it would not end as a one-time fight, but could later escalate into a war between Dmitry and the noble faction..
at last.
‘Logically, it is impossible to determine which judgment is correct. What is certain is that while serving Marquis Benedict, I have some expectations of the strength of the noble faction, I cannot dare to guess Roman Dmitry's limitations. And on the southern front, I witnessed how terrible it was to face Roman Dmitry as an enemy on the battlefield. It's Fabius, it's Fabius. The future of my family depends on my decision..’
made a decision.
Count Fabius did not send troops.
When all the noble factions sent troops to the capital, he kept silent with the excuse of being sick..
Seeing Count Fabius not making any movement even on the day of the decisive battle, naturally, the same noble faction contacted him..
[Count Fabius, do you really think you can make that choice and survive??]
[There is not a single person in the world who will believe your excuse that you are sick. After the sun sets today. As Marquis Benedict raises a toast, he will casually mention the death of a man named Count Fabius. It's not too late. Send troops now.]
[You stupid person. You normally behave well, but you make stupid decisions at such an important time.!]
I was worried..
I covered my ears.
I closed my eyes tightly..
When Roman Dmitry and the noble faction faced each other,.
Count Fabius entrusted his fate to heaven in his comfortable mansion..
* * *
marquis benedict.
He immediately contacted Count Fabius..
A person causing strife within the noble faction could not be left alone like this..
pot.
Communication is connected.
Marquis Benedict let out anger at the face of Count Fabius that appeared on the screen..
“Fabius. You are so crazy. It's not enough to disobey the noble faction's orders and not send troops to Kairos, what? Are you going to disobey the summons? Look me straight in the face and say it. Is that really your choice Fabius??”
My voice trembled with anger..
raccoon of kairos.
Even though I knew how clever he was, I kept him by my side because I liked how quick he was..
however.
he betrayed.
The fact that the judgment was made by a raccoon rather than an ordinary nobleman really upset the Marquis Benedict..
That a quick-witted person ignored him. Doesn't that mean the defeat of the aristocratic faction?.
Count Fabius said.
[Marquis Benedict. Let's be honest with each other about what happened. In the battle that took place in Kairos, weren't you massacred by Roman Dmitri without even being able to resist? That's the basis for my judgment. Roman Dmitry eliminated all the talented members of the noble faction during an open ranking match, and knowing that Marquis Benedict would make such a decision, he drew his sword without hesitation. How on earth are you supposed to fight such a monster??]
“How dare this bastard!”
[Oh, fuck. I still don't understand the situation?]
Count Fabius frowned..
Just as it was with Viscount Conrad.
When he turned around, he clearly showed his attitude..
[I gave everything to Roman Dmitry. So, don't look at it as a dog that I still follow. I mean people. You have to be perceptive. If I didn't send troops to Kairos and didn't respond to the call, you can just accept that I betrayed you, right? But it's so damned that you even contacted me directly to see what kind of trouble I was doing..]
“……That choice. Are you confident you won’t regret it??”
[Regrets are shit. If my choice is wrong, the only thing I can do is die.?]
“Fabius. You are a traitor to the noble faction. No matter what choice you make, do you think Roman Dmitry will use you, a traitor, in any significant way? A traitor is just a traitor anywhere. If only you had remained faithful until the end, if only you had helped the noble faction win. I would definitely use you heavily..”
[no. Even if I had stayed faithful to the end, you wouldn't have hesitated to abandon me once there was no need for me. But it wasn't Roman Dmitry. Just looking at his acceptance of Viscount Conrad, he had the tolerance to accept people like me depending on the situation. And you probably heard the rumors about Roman Dmitry, right? How much he cares for his people. Although I'll start out as a traitor, from now on I'll do anything to please him..]
events so far.
Count Fabius knew that beginnings are important.
If you show clear hostile intent and carry it out, it will be difficult to survive against Roman Dmitry..
But if you haven't crossed the line yet. It was not impossible for him to be like Viscount Conrad..
so.
did not send troops.
He disobeyed the summons and ignored Marquis Benedict..
finally.
Count Fabius said with a grin:.
[Marquis Benedict. The war starts now. I guess I still don't know how things are going, but I'm probably not the only one who doesn't respond to summons. Even then, try to contact me in such a hostile manner. It's only a matter of time before the aristocratic faction falls..]
In those words.
Marquis Benedict widened his eyes..
What does this mean?.
Tuk.
communication was lost.
And it didn't take Marquis Benedict long to confirm Fabius' words..
* * *
Order to convene the noble faction.
Count Fabius is the exception, but most have expressed their intention to comply with the summons..
however.
Suddenly an unexpected variable occurred.
[I, Marquis Valentino, declare my support for the Dmitri family..]
valentino.
The forces of neutrality have moved.
As the magnates of Cairo supported Dmitry, the surrounding families were unable to move their troops hastily..
Recently, Valentino spent a lot of money to sweep away mercenaries in Cairo..
At that time, I made the excuse that I needed manpower in the process of running a business on the continent, but I had no idea that it would directly lead to an alliance with the Dmitry family..
and.
Count Fabius also tried his hand.
He thought that even betrayal should be done for the best..
Rather than simply changing his mind and entrusting himself to a new power, he worked hard to help Roman Dmitry accept his existence positively..
Thanks to this, the families that had always had a close relationship with Count Fabius changed their minds..
He decided to betray the noble faction and follow Dmitry..
only a few days.
In an instant, the situation turned around..
Immediately after breaking off contact with Fabius, Marquis Benedict received a torrent of communications..
[……I'm really sorry. Since he doesn't know when Marquis Valentino will attack his territory, he can't send many troops. Still, I hope you know that this is our best..]
[Marquis Benedict. What on earth should I do with this? If you move hastily, there is a possibility that your territory will be robbed. No matter how important the war against the King faction is, we cannot put all of our family members in danger..]
[Sorry, but I decided to agree with Count Fabius..]
I felt dizzy.
Before I even try anything.
Marquis Benedict had no choice but to watch as the power of the aristocratic faction diminished..
* * *
royal palace conference room.
It was the last meeting before the troops went out..
Roman Dmitry spoke on behalf of.
“a few days ago. Count Fabius, a member of the noble faction, has expressed his intention to follow us. Several families, including him, decided to change their minds, and the Marquis Valentino supported us, putting the aristocratic faction in a situation where they could not do their best in this war. Now is the opportunity to wipe out the rebels once and for all..”
a series of circumstances.
The people of the King faction were impressed..
Count Fabius and Marquis Valentino.
it wasn't their ability.
They looked in awe at the fact that it was a plate made solely by Roman Dmitry..
‘If the royalists had not accepted Roman Dmitry's proposal. He may have succeeded in the coup with Dmitry's strength alone. At that time, the flag of Cairo must have been broken by Dmitry..’
I got goosebumps.
Dmitry's potential was amazing..
With the noble faction suddenly cornered, Daniel Cairo asked:.
“Does this mean that there will be a direct confrontation with the aristocratic faction??”
“you're right. To be exact, it is likely to be a siege. If the noble faction had responded to the summons normally, they would have marched straight to the capital, but due to a series of circumstances, they will choose Mercury for the time being to reorganize their forces. We have no reason to give them any leeway. We must advance our troops like this and wipe out the traitorous islands. We must crush them with overwhelming force to avoid making the same mistakes that will tear apart the system of power in the future..”
everyone.
I swallowed dry saliva..
It was finally an all-out war.
At the moment of decisive battle, the people waited for the orders of Daniel Cairo, the decision maker..
‘The force leading this war is not the royal faction, but Dmitry..’
Daniel Cairo.
he saw the essence.
If this war was won, there was a high probability that people would call Dmitry a kingmaker rather than acknowledging the power of the royal faction..
That's how Roman Dmitry created the game from start to finish..
Instead of organizing the forces that had been dividing Cairo, Dmitry might have formed a force so large that it could swallow up the Cairo royal family at once..
but.
However, I had no intention of rejecting them..
‘Dmitry made a decision for Cairo. Even if Dmitry grows beyond our ability to handle, we must acknowledge and accept their existence. This would have been impossible without Dmitri's help in the first place. Coexistence with Dmitri, who at least treats me like a king, is better for Cairo than with the vicious rebels who sell out the monarchy. The landscape of Cairo has changed. In order for the Cairo Royal Family to not lose its meaning in the future, it is necessary to take active steps in situations where sacrifices must be made. So that Roman Dmitry does not feel wronged. We will do our best to help Dmitry..’
made a decision.
Daniel Cairo looked around at the people and spoke in a dignified voice..
“War is now inevitable. The royal forces will do their best to help Roman Dmitry, and keep in mind that the orders he gives are my will. Roman Dmitry. I will entrust you with full authority over this war..”
focused gaze.
Roman Dmitry fulfilled the courtesy of a military subject..
“I will take orders..”
The fuse of war was lit.
From now on.
It was time to punish all traitors..
