181For a clear ending (7)
My hands became weak.
As he watched the communication device falling to the ground and being destroyed, Marquis Benedict's mind fell into a deep abyss..
‘……Where did it all go wrong?.’
I looked back on my memories.
Immediately after the ranking match.
Marquis Benedict led the aristocratic faction to visit Roman Dmitri and force him to make a choice..
That started a full-scale fight, but I didn't think it was a wrong choice..
It's something I've worked hard on for over a year..
However, he openly said that he would take his own path, but if he left it as is, it was obvious that the status of the aristocratic faction would fall to the ground and the power system would collapse..
before it fully grows.
Tried to nip it in the bud.
Although he clearly made the right decision, Roman Dmitry had the audacity to draw his sword on Kairos..
Was it wrong to attack the main base?.
If we had tried to win at Benedict instead of sending our troops to Dmitry, we might not have collapsed so vainly..
No, on second thought, that wasn't it..
Even with that many troops, they couldn't take down Dmitri, who was empty, but focusing on Benedict didn't seem to change the outcome..
In the first place.
The difference in power was extreme.
When looking back on his choices, Marquis Benedict came to one conclusion:.
‘Roman Dmitry made all plans pointless.’
think about it.
Whether it was the plan at Kairos or the diversionary operation at Benedict, it was an operation that, based on common sense, could not afford to fail..
The objective power was like that..
It is a very natural result to mobilize the swordsman in white to suppress the power of ten..
But I couldn't even control the work..
Roman Dmitry slaughters the hundred all by himself, so what is the point of no matter how clever he is in planning?.
overwhelming power.
It was a factor in failure.
Just as Cairo dared not look up to the Empire, the noble faction chose the wrong opponent from the start..
finished.
Looking at the remains of the communicator, Marquis Benedict was frightened..
‘If we continue like this, we cannot avoid death..’
devil of cairo.
he was chasing.
Marquis Benedict came to his senses and spoke in an urgent voice..
“The defensive battle at Benedict's Castle was a complete failure. We must first take refuge and borrow the power of the Kronos Empire to turn the situation around. Move quickly. If they are caught like this, the future of the noble faction will be over..”
“Oh, I see..”
The nobles nodded with pale expressions..
At Benedict's Castle.
There are still many soldiers left..
They risked their lives under orders to fight to the end, but the leaders did not think about their safety..
They are just expendables anyway..
As long as you can survive and use the Kronos Empire to occupy the Cairo Royal Palace, you can secure new soldiers at any time..
I hurried my steps.
Fortunately, a secret passage was created for situations like this..
Since it was a path where one could escape without being seen, a spark of hope still remained despite the chaos..
How long did it run?.
I was out of breath..
The armor I wore for the sake of being stylish was weighing down my body, and my forehead was covered in sweat..
Nobles who would normally have expressed their dissatisfaction did not say anything..
Thinking that if they slowed down even a little, the devil of Cairo might come after them, they even tried to push the person ahead..
Finally.
reached the end of the aisle.
When passing through the dark basement and facing the bright light, the expression on the face of Marquis Benedict, who was in the lead, turned pale..
Drop, drop.
Drops of blood fell along the blade..
above the corpse.
A man used a corpse as a chair.
After checking on Marquis Benedict, he stood up with an unchanging expression on his face..
“It's too late, Marquis Benedict..”
He is right.
It was Kevin.
* * *
Marquis Benedict's Choice.
It was obvious.
If Mercury failed, I didn't think he would hold his head up and calmly accept death..
last week.
I completely figured out the secret passage..
Kevin and other soldiers were guarding one of them, and Marquis Benedict happened to appear through the passage that Kevin was holding on to..
I felt like my heart was completely shattered..
Although he still has a youthful look on his face, I experienced at Kairos how scary Kevin is..
‘Dmitry's Demon……!’
At Roman's command.
The two prosecutors rushed in..
Kevin was one of them, and I still can't forget the sight of him rushing towards hundreds of troops..
I swallowed hard..
He hurriedly hid behind the guards who followed him and shouted in a frightened voice..
“Attack now! I mean kill those guys.!”
escort knights.
They also looked scared..
They looked at each other and hesitated for a moment, but that didn't mean they could refuse Marquis Benedict's order..
Kevin didn't move an inch when he saw them..
Seeing them just staring, a knight gritted his teeth and rushed forward..
“attack!”
“kill it!”
a dozen knights.
they risked their lives.
He suppressed his fear and swung his sword at Kevin with a face that looked like he was about to burst into tears..
OK.
Phuwak!
My neck was blown off..
The head floated up, blood spurted out, and Kevin dug into the other person's arms..
All attacks coming from all directions were narrowly avoided..
Palak had a sword that cut off hair, but Kevin used his short stature to plunge the sword into the opponent's jaw without even blinking..
deeply.
“Crumbling.”
I bit into the blood foam..
The other person's eyes revealed the whites, and he collapsed, kicking up dust on the floor..
only one person.
Only Kevin moved..
There were other soldiers behind him, but they watched Kevin's battle with seemingly indifferent faces..
It was a scene that completely hardened my thinking circuit..
The escort knights struggled to attack Kevin, but were helpless as his body parts were cut off one by one..
When I swung the sword with my right hand, my right hand was cut off, and when I raised my left hand to block the enemy's attack, my left hand was cut off..
And when he turned to run away with a scared face, Kevin jumped on his back and cut off his head..
Dmitry's Demon.
It was just as rumored..
With blood flowing in streams, the nobles, including the Marquis Benedict, fled without looking back..
escort knights.
In the end, they were just expendables..
They looked at the nobles with resentful eyes, but the nobles only grew further and further away from their gaze..
however.
Kevin didn't go after the nobles..
He only took the breath away from the struggling escort knights and was not in any hurry..
anyway.
Marquis Benedict was just a rat in a poison.
* * *
“lower jaw, lower jaw.”
Marquis Benedict gasped..
abandon the soldiers.
The escort knights also abandoned it..
I didn't think it was cowardly..
Since they originally existed for their own sake, they did not feel the slightest sense of guilt while running away..
the problem is.
“Such a bitch……!”
On a new retreat.
Another being was holding out.
It was Chris.
The prosecutors who followed Roman Dmitry did not participate in this siege..
Since he knew that the moment the castle wall collapsed, the opponent would also collapse, he received special orders and completely blocked the way for Marquis Benedict to escape..
This war. Not a single person who participated in the rebellion could be spared..
And I knew that the way we dealt with them would remain as a precedent for future generations..
“Where are you going like that??”
Chris approached..
Marquis Benedict quickly turned around..
Seeing him running away in another direction, Chris left Marquis Benedict alone and grabbed the other nobles..
deeply.
“Wow!.”
A scream rang out..
Chris killed the nobles of the noble faction on the spot..
He deliberately stabbed the sword slowly to make people scream more, and Marquis Benedict covered his ears as he ran away..
I felt like my mind was flying.
It was hard for him to accept that he, who boasted of his omnipotent power, had lost, but excessive fear ran through his mind..
wherever you go.
There was a subordinate of Roman..
At first, many of the nobles who followed him died one by one every time they encountered a new wall..
My face was covered in tears and snot..
As Marquis Benedict ran away, he made a promise in his heart and made another promise..
‘Yes, play with me as much as you like. If I somehow survive this hell, I will definitely take revenge on you by any means necessary, including bringing in the Kronos Empire. At that time, even if you cry out for help, I will tear all those who followed you to pieces before your eyes and kill them..’
desire to survive.
Revenge was the driving force.
My feet are swollen.
the toenail is broken.
I got wounds on my body while running through the bushes, but I didn't care about such minor pain..
After running away like that for a while.
There was hope in the eyes of Marquis Benedict..
‘It's here.’
under the rock.
I saw a small gap.
The excrement of the animals around gave off a terrible smell, but saving lives was the priority right now..
I didn't hesitate at all.
He hid himself under a rock, dragged dirt mixed with feces, and smeared it all over his body..
I held my breath by holding my body as close to the corner as possible so as not to see the fancy jewelry..
It's okay to say it's lame.
but.
Marquis Benedict's desire for life burned stronger than ever..
* * *
the sun has set.
While living.
The night has never been this long.
Even though I was shivering from the hunger and cold that overtook my body, I covered my mouth when I heard people around me..
“Inhale.”
Roman soldiers.
they wandered around.
It seemed like he was constantly checking his surroundings to find himself, but he didn't seem to think about this place where animal defecation was visible everywhere..
Marquis Benedict is a symbol of power.
Even if his life was at stake, I couldn't imagine that he would hide by covering himself with excrement..
Tears came to my eyes.
I got used to the terrible smell, but my situation was very miserable..
‘Roman Dmitry. It's all because of him. The throne of Cairo was right in front of him, and he ruined it all because of that one guy. I can never break down. I will definitely survive and take the throne of Cairo..’
My body was trembling..
My consciousness kept fading, but I forced myself to hold on, even if it meant biting the inside of my mouth..
It was then.
“……Marquis Benedict. Now it's all over. please come out.”
It was a familiar voice.
Viscount Owen.
he was clear.
Marquis Benedict almost screamed for a moment, but quickly covered his mouth..
This was clearly an intention to use the prisoners to find their location..
If that's not the reason, wouldn't it be okay to pull yourself out right away?.
“Benedict's Castle was completely captured. All of the noble faction's troops were captured, and not a single leader could escape. Marquis. We are done. Even the Marquis' family members have been dragged out like dogs and are now begging for their lives. So please, Marquis, please convince Roman Dmitry..”
It was a desperate voice.
At first, a voice was heard from far away.
The more I talked, the closer I started getting closer..
“Don’t you know it well, Marquis? There is no escape from here. Roman Dmitry expected us to flee from the beginning and blocked all escape routes. Did you notice anything strange as you ran away? We are being played. There was no way to escape from the beginning..”
My blood went cold..
That word.
It felt like he knew where he was and spoke..
That moment.
Along with the movements of a man struggling, a voice filled with fear pierced my ears..
“Hey, this dog! Do you think people won't know you're hiding there? You said you would spare my life if you showed yourself, but you are still selfish to the end. Please go to hell... … Ugh.”
It was the sound of death.
Marquis Benedict's complexion turned pale..
Then I realized.
His position was discovered from the beginning..
Even though Roman Dmitry knew this, he deliberately stood by as if he had let it escape..
blood spilled on the floor.
The blood that flowed from Viscount Owen soaked Marquis Benedict's clothes..
and.
“come out.”
Roman Dmitry's voice.
With his heart pounding, Marquis Benedict closed his eyes tightly..
