184Hwa: Relationships in this life (2)
The leaders looked at each other.
Rodwell Dmitry.
He was a man who perfectly met the conditions mentioned by Flora..
He had sufficient skill and bravery, and I was confident that he could proceed with the plan without any problems..
His time in the West proved his worth..
There was no one in the leadership who denied that fact, but the problem was that Dmitry's name was too valuable to take on a role that required sacrificing one's life..
Baron Noel said.
“It's not possible. Didn't Flora tell you? The person in charge of the Great War must be prepared to die. We understand Rodwell's will, but we cannot offer up a prosecutor like Rodwell as a scapegoat..”
Rodwell's brother.
Roman Dmitry has emerged as a powerful figure in Cairo..
If the rebellion of the nobles is resolved and the Kronos Empire is also defeated, the era of Roman Dmitry will undoubtedly begin in the Cairo Kingdom..
Baron Noel wasn't stupid.
Although he was patriotic and experienced all kinds of hardships on the Western Front, he also had a desire to return to the capital and take up a prominent position in the future..
so that.
Rodwell couldn't be pushed into his limbs..
The presence of Roman Dmitry and the background of the Dmitry family completely changed the value of a man..
Rodwell Dmitry said.
“So, is there a prosecutor who can step forward on my behalf??”
“Isn’t that a problem that needs to be looked into? Rather than hastily judging…….”
“no. When a choice is brought up because it is a decision made by the leadership, there is no choice but to force sacrifices on those who clearly do not want to. This is for Cairo. How on earth could a knight who is supposed to be patriotic refuse? And there aren't many options in this plan. There are swordsmen stronger than me on the Western Front, but their lives cannot be sacrificed in a place like this. We must also think about the situation after the Battle of Daejeon Temple ends. If so, it is right that an appropriate level of testing makes meaningful choices..”
he is.
He was not the best prosecutor in the West..
Even though Count Vandenberg was a four-star swordsman right now, he couldn't send his commander to death..
Rodwell Dmitry saw the people.
They looked perplexed, but could not tell him that his opinion was wrong..
“Someone has to do it. But that doesn't mean I'm willing to die for the plan. I will do my best to defeat the great warrior of the Kronos Empire. So, please allow me to step forward..”
“……rodwell.”
Count Vandenberg showed a sad look in his eyes..
Rodwell Dmitry, who was first sent to the Western Front, was a talent that had not yet matured, similar to other people his age..
Experiencing countless deaths here.
Rodwell has grown up.
He became a decent prosecutor, and now he is respected by everyone..
The conference room fell silent..
Although he was a student whom he personally taught, Count Vandenberg could not care for just one person..
at last.
“i get it. Rodwell Dmitry, you will be the one to take part in this great battle..”
“thank you.”
decision has been made.
The highlight of this plan is).
Rodwell Dmitry nodded with a calm expression..

After the meeting.
There was someone waiting for Rodwell Dmitry to come out..
“Why are you always so anxious to do something so dangerous??”
western front.
There were two famous people here.
One of them was Flora Lawrence, and the other was Rodwell Dmitry..
Member of the Cairo Royal Academy.
Rodwell Dmitry was given one year of service for training purposes, but decided to remain on the Western Front even after completing the period..
It was a time when Dmitry was in the spotlight..
Everyone did not understand his choice to abandon wealth and honor, and Rodwell, who remained on the battlefield, took dangerous steps..
in every battle.
he was always in the lead.
Even against the Kronos Empire, he did not back down even a bit, and led the Cairo Kingdom army with a blood ring around his neck..
and currently.
The people of the Western Front truly respected Rodwell Dmitry.
Although he was considered a strong warrior, Flora did not think so..
“In my opinion, you are not normal. People say it's an act of patriotism for Cairo, but the truth is that he's just a crazy person who can't wait to die. You have quite a few followers on the Western Front. The leaders have accepted the fact that you are the best, but if you really need to consider it, you should not die like this..”
“It's something I need.”
Rodwell saw Flora.
Flora Lawrence.
I heard it through rumors.
A woman who promised to marry her older brother, but broke off the engagement and gave up the life of a typical nobleman..
Maybe it was someone who could understand his feelings..
“Flora. You know what kind of person Roman Dmitry was. That's why a wise woman like you would have made the extreme choice of breaking off the engagement. How did you feel at that time? Were you able to readily accept the fact that Dmitry's so-called idiot was not as rumored? I didn't. During his time in the West, Dmitry changed so much..”
last few years.
Roman Dmitry's change was shocking.
At first I denied the truth, but as the rumors continued, I had no choice but to accept the reality..
people said.
I wish I had an older brother like Roman Dmitry..
However, Rodwell Dmitri, who remembered the time with him, fell into a great sense of disconnection..
“Roman Dmitry was just a stain in my life. Such a person is now hailed as a hero of Cairo. People applaud Dmitry for his bright future, but I have never for a moment in my life entrusted my future to someone I don't even want to call my brother. So I extended my service period, and I will do whatever it takes to surpass him..”
denied reality.
I covered my ears.
As I risked my life on the battlefield, I struggled to somehow become stronger..
It was the same this time too.
It was a life-threatening decision to become a great warrior, but I hoped that this decision would make me even a little stronger..
Roman Dmitry.
Defeated Richard Nicholas..
The rumor that he stood tall as the best sword in Cairo made Rodwell's heart burn..
Flora was speechless..
It was a complicated feeling..
At one time, I myself was confused by Roman, so I couldn't make a hasty conclusion about the other person's feelings..
a moment of silence.
Rodwell Dmitry asked in reverse..
“then why are you here?”
Flora bit her lip..
What should I say.
While she was thinking of a plausible excuse, she didn't want to lie at least to Rodwell Dmitry..
him and himself.
caught up in the same fate.
If Roman Dmitry hadn't changed, the two would never have met on the Western Front..
“There was a time when I almost killed many people because of my immature choices. So, I just decided that I needed experience to avoid making the same mistake again. Let's stop talking about this. Being asked a question in reverse really brings me to my senses. I won't bother to ask why. but…….”
I looked into Rodwell's eyes..
Those eyes.
These were not the eyes of someone who had given up on life..
“Be sure to win. I hope you survive and live a meaningful life.”
* * *
The day of the decisive battle has dawned.
far away.
The Kronos Empire army was seen..
Rodwell Dmitry came out of the castle alone and looked at his enemies..
‘I could die today.’
make a decision.
many people came.
Those who had tried to dissuade him from making a reckless choice sighed as they looked at Rodwell Dmitry's unwavering gaze..
Ever since I heard the rumors about Roman Dmitry.
Rodwell Dmitry, the wise man people remember, behaved like a man with multiple lives..
I knew it too.
It might be really dangerous this time, but there was no way to get stronger quickly if we didn't do this..
‘Experience that conforms to common sense inevitably leads to stereotypical growth. Roman Dmitry became the greatest sword of Cairo. The world calls him the best in Cairo, but I don't want to lose to him..’
You could say it’s an inferiority complex..
for whatever reason.
Rodwell Dmitry stands here.
I took a deep breath and picked up the sword I had sharpened all night long..
steadily.
not far away.
The Kronos Empire's army has lined up..
Rodwell Dmitry stepped forward..
All eyes were on me, and my voice was full of mana..
“I am Rodwell Dmitry of the Kingdom of Cairo. I, Rodwell Dmitry, will challenge the Kronos Empire to a great battle.!”
From now on.
I have stepped into the crossroads of life and death..
* * *
It was as Flora expected..
The Kronos Empire had no reason to refuse..
They arrogantly sent against an unknown prosecutor..
“My name is Osford. I'll deal with you.”
osford.
It was a being that did not even make it to the bottom of the imperial rankings..
But no one in Cairo showed laughter..
3Unlike Cairo, where you can advance to rank just by reaching the castle level, in the Kronos Empire, the person at the very end was a four-star swordsman..
The world we live in is truly different from Cairo..
They only sent Ospard off as a great warrior as a mockery, not thinking that he was weaker than Rodwell Dmitry..
furthermore.
Rodwell wasn't ranked in Cairo either..
Because the apparent difference in skill was absolute, Osford showed confidence in victory..
That's how the battle began.
As everyone expected, Osford took the lead..
“where!”
Kaang!
Kakakakang!
It was an overwhelming aspect..
As soon as the start of the battle was announced, Osford rushed in, and the sword that created the aura did not allow any time to catch its breath..
Osford was a three-star prosecutor..
The Kronos Empire obtained data on Cairo prosecutors operating in the West, and discovered that Rodwell Dmitry was still only a 2-star prosecutor..
202 stars in early teens.
It was great growth.
However, that was only a high estimate of future expectations and was not enough to threaten the Kronos Empire..
so that.
Osford was sent away on purpose..
I planned to show that even as an unknown swordsman and not a ranker, I could overwhelmingly defeat Rodwell Dmitry..
Kaang!
“Ugh.”
pushed out of power.
Rodwell Dmitry blocked the attack with quick reaction speed, but he couldn't help but be pushed back every time the swords collided..
The difference between the two was clear from the beginning..
Osford lunged forward once more, forcing Rodwell Dmitry to defend himself, and as soon as his opponent blocked the attack, he kicked him hard in the abdomen..
puck.
There was a strong shock.
Suppressing the nausea rising inside him, Rodwell Dmitry quickly attempted a counterattack..
but.
Suddenly!
Rather, my forearm was cut..
Blood was flying in the wind..
No matter what he did, Osford reacted, and as time went by, the wounds on his body increased one by one..
A prosecutor recognized for his skills in Cairo was blocked by the walls of the empire..
Rodwell Dmitry clearly had a promising future, but he never gained momentum against an unknown prosecutor..
weak country.
This was Cairo's reality..
The reason they couldn't keep their mouths shut against the Empire was because there was such an overwhelming difference in power..
“die!”
Kwasik.
The armor on my fist was distorted..
I felt dizzy.
Rodwell Dmitry had the urge to fall over and over again, but he gritted his teeth and held on to the end..
‘This is the result I expected.’
People expected a miracle.
Will Rodwell win?.
no.
it was impossible.
Probably, no matter who they sent out, the Cronos Empire would have sent them against a swordsman stronger than him..
That is the empire.
Although it did not take long to gather troops, they brutally trampled on Cairo's territory..
‘How on earth did Roman Dmitry defeat these beings? I can't even handle a 3-star aura swordsman, but not only did he defeat Butler, he became Cairo's best swordsman. Obviously the Roman Dmitry I remember wasn't that strong. But while I left for the battlefield and struggled to become stronger, he rose to a level that I could not dare to overcome, to the point where my efforts were worthless..’
Rumors heard.
People praised Rodwell Dmitry.
As Dmitry's status rose, he was treated well wherever he went..
but.
I wasn't happy at all.
Since there was never a moment in my life when I didn't try hard, I couldn't truly accept Roman Dmitry's reputation..
‘This morning. I heard a report that Roman Dmitry's kingdom army had suppressed the rebels. He made what everyone thought was impossible a reality and once again proved his worth. It cannot be denied that Roman Dmitry has now become an untouchable figure. Rumors heard, people’s reputations. Roman Dmitry proves his worth.’
He knew it too.
Now I can't keep up with the differences between myself and my older brother..
Even though I knew that, I stood on the battlefield because I couldn't accept it in my heart..
Suddenly!
I got a cut on my face..
Long blood lines that appear on the cheeks.
Rodwell Dmitry's eyes did not waver..
Looking straight at Osford, he lunged forward..
crackling.
“Where is this bastard?.”
this duel.
I knew I couldn't win with ordinary methods..
So, he came up with a plan.
It was the same pattern.
A counterattack aimed at the opponent's lower body.
After inducing the opponent's defense with repeated attacks, he targeted the opponent's vital points using a different pattern than before. He gave up his entire body for this one moment. His whole body was covered in blood, and he had no strength to hold on any longer..
Crumbling rumbling.
The aura exploded..
The attack was fast..
battlefield experience.
Rodwell Dmitry's execution was bold..
The flowing attack quickly found a loophole, but Osford reacted again this time..
“Cheeky bastard!”
The sword flashed..
And yet.
Rodwell Dmitry did not stop.
As I continued to receive sword strikes, I accumulated data in my head and predicted exactly where the opponent's attack would stop..
‘If this continues, I might lose my eyes..’
The other party was confident.
that he would step down.
However, Rodwell gritted his teeth..
pot.
One side of my vision was stained with darkness..
That moment.
deeply.
“gagging.”
Rodwell's sword pierced the opponent's vital spot..
I gave up my flesh and took the other person's bones..
Osford is filled with astonishment..
When he tried to fight back with a confused look on his face, Rodwell Dmitry had already cut off his head..
Suddenly!
Phuwak.
Blood spurted out like a fountain..
I have some experience on the Western Front..
Differences in aura do not guarantee absolute victory on the battlefield..
Blood flowed from my eyes.
One eye was filled with terrible pain, but Rodwell Dmitry grinned and raised his middle finger to the Kronos Empire..
“Fuck off, you bastards..”
Day 2 of the 3 days Roman promised.
The Kingdom of Cairo succeeded in suppressing the Kronos Empire..
