this meeting.
While Flora Lawrence felt positive, Rodwell Dmitry could not hide his confused feelings..
‘……That person is Roman Dmitry.?’
commander of the kingdom's army.
When he appeared, the soldiers on the Western Front gave out loud cheers as they cleared the way on both sides..
Roman Dmitry was a symbol of hope.
The fact that he cleared out the rebels and arrived at the Western Front in just three days meant that Cairo was no longer in danger from an attack by the Kronos Empire..
Past actions.
He defeated Hector's kingdom, became the greatest sword in Cairo, and even defeated the Marquis Benedict..
Even though people had no direct experience with Roman Dmitry, they had blind trust in him..
It was an overwhelming sight..
Rodwell Dmitry, who went into battle even though his body was not healthy, looked at the scene with shaking eyes like the soldiers..
It just didn't make sense..
The being who calmly accepted people's gaze was too different from the Roman Dmitry he remembered..
And the meeting that followed.
It was a series of surprises..
As I watched them press the leaders, asking for the best, a feeling of disconnection in my memories kept arising..
‘The last thing I remember, Roman Dmitry was a drunkard. His life was completely far from swordsmanship, and he was often taken away by the security guard while acting out in bars. There isn't that much of a difference in time between then and now. But can a person change like this in such a short period of time??’
common sense.
It was impossible.
The question I always asked while listening to the rumors was how the being in my memory reached the level of the 5th star..
Roman Dmitry's voice.
Roman Dmitry's face.
It was certain.
Although he looked much better than before, the marks on his face proved that he was Roman Dmitry..
Actually, to some extent, I was accepting reality..
Even if the rumors were only half true, Roman Dmitry could not have been called Dmitry's idiot..
throughout the meeting.
The gaze was fixed on Roman Dmitry..
Because I sympathized with everything he said, I couldn't help but feel even more shocked..
the meeting is over.
Breathing in the night air, Rodwell Dmitry looked up at the sky..
‘……I lived with the sole intention of enhancing my family's reputation on the Western Front. However, Roman Dmitry made everything I achieved meaningless in an instant. Is it a difference in talent? Everyone called me Dmitry's future, but in reality, I was just struggling for nothing?.’
accepted the truth.
Roman Dmitry.
It was clear that it was his older brother..
That's why I felt ashamed.
Even during the times when the person he called his older brother was living like an outcast, he worked hard, but it felt like the difference was disappearing all at once. his left eye was sore.
In return for defeating someone who was nothing compared to the opponents Roman Dmitry defeated, Rodwell Dmitry permanently lost the vision in his left eye..
It was miserable.
What have you been working towards so far?.
It was then.
“rodwell.”
It was a familiar voice.
The hair on my whole body stood up..
When Rodwell Dmitry turned his head with a stern expression, the older brother he remembered was there looking at him..
* * *
face with thick lines.
manly voice.
Roman Dmitry was clear.
Unlike his face, which brings back memories of the past, Roman gave off an atmosphere that could not be dared to be crossed..
“I heard your eyes are not in good condition..”
To that question.
Rodwell looked perplexed..
I didn't expect Roman, who never pretended to know me after arriving at the Western Front, to ask how I was doing..
“Nothing to worry about.”
“Thanks to your sacrifice, we were able to deal with the wizards of the Kronos Empire. Good job. If you hadn't carried out your plan perfectly, the Western Front wouldn't have held until I arrived..”
Rodwell was silent..
It was awkward.
This conversation, this situation.
Roman Dmitri, who appeared in front of him as his older brother, felt so unfamiliar..
It was the same with Roman..
But even so, he spoke first..
‘Rodwell Dmitry. my flesh and blood.’
last year.
My father always said the same thing over and over again.
Rodwell Dmitry was stubborn and always tried to solve his own problems from a young age, but in the end, he was only in his early 20s..
So I hoped you would take care of him as an older brother..
I knew that their relationship was not that good due to the issue of succession, but from their father's point of view, they were both precious children..
The word flesh and blood.
These were not very nice words for Roman Dmitry, or rather, Baek Jung-hyuk..
He was forced to compete simply because he was the son of the Heavenly Demon, and rose to the top in exchange for their blood..
however.
This life was different..
Roman Dmitry accepted a new relationship.
People who remember Dmitry being called an idiot looked at Roman Dmitry with prejudice, but they did not reject those who accepted his new self..
In this way, one by one, we created relationships in this life..
Hans was like that, Chris and Kevin were like that, and so was Flora Lawrence..
and.
I met Rodwell Dmitry.
All the stories had proven that he hated her, but Roman didn't care..
‘When you start a new life. Hans gave me a blind feeling just because I was Roman Dmitry. They could have ostracized and disliked me like everyone else, but thanks to Hans coming to me first, I was able to quickly adapt to this world. The same goes for his relationship with Rodwell Dmitry. There is no reason to unconditionally wait for the other person to approach you. Just as I have formed new relationships with those I have made in this life, I need to form new relationships with Rodwell Dmitry..’
Dmitry's second child.
He looked at his younger brother..
No matter what he thought of himself, Roman Dmitry was going to make the first move..
It wasn't because of my father's request..
The only reason is that he is my younger brother.
For that alone, Rodwell Dmitri deserved to be in his enclosure..
Unlike their previous life, when the brothers were just the objects of a physical fight, in this life they accepted their family as family..
Roman said.
“I'm probably not that happy about it yet. But keep this one thing in mind.”
saw the eyes.
Although he did not notice it, Rodwell Dmitry lost an eye when he was only in his early 20s..
It's something that can't be ignored.
Even though I tried to react calmly, I wasn't unaware of the bitterness in the other eye..
“you are my younger brother If you follow me to the battlefield, I will show you what it means to live as a member of the Dmitry family. At the cost of Roman Dmitry's younger brother, Rodwell Dmitry, losing an eye. The Kronos Empire will have to sacrifice countless lives..”
Moment.
Rodwell's eyes wavered..
It was unexpected.
Talking first and saying things like this.
Just as Hans accepted himself as he was, Roman embraced even Rodwell Dmitry's quirks..
“So remember. That you and I are brothers.”
a night full of stars in the sky.
The two brothers were reunited.
* * *
that time.
The Kronos Empire faced a dire situation..
[……Marquis Benedict's rebellion was a complete failure. Now that Roman Dmitri's kingdom's army has arrived on the Western Front, there is no reason for the Kronos Empire to waste any more time. I think it would be better for you to return now..]
He was Baron Charlton, a member of the Foreign Office..
army retreat).
I got annoyed.
Count Fabio could not retreat his troops like this..
“You bastards. Even though they attacked the western front, it collapsed without being able to hold out for even a day. Baron Charlton. It's not that I don't understand the reason for the withdrawal, but we have suffered considerable damage over the past few days. But does it make sense to run away without doing anything? Just give me one more day. In it, I will clearly impress upon those who do not even know the subject the existence of the empire..”
It's not a matter of winning or losing.
Immediately after the Battle of Daejeonsa Temple.
Watching the wizards get caught up in the magic trap, Count Fabio knew he had fallen into a trap..
I couldn't blame the other person.
The Kingdom of Cairo sent out a great warrior and fought a fair battle, and it was entirely their fault for failing to anticipate the opponent's trap and losing the wizard..
That's why my stomach was boiling..
When I thought I'd finally gotten a kick out of Cairo or something, I often found myself jumping up every time I tried to fall asleep..
just once.
I wanted revenge one last time.
Aside from the practical benefits, this was a matter of pride..
[I also do not know Count Fabio’s feelings. However, the opponent, Roman Dmitry's kingdom army, has joined. Roman Dmitry is a very aggressive person, and if you make a mistake, you may suffer losses that you cannot bear. Count Fabio. Currently, the Kronos Empire is focusing on the conflict with the Kingdom Alliance. If Count Fabio loses his troops, the repercussions will inevitably extend to the South. Think carefully. Should we still continue the war until the end??]
“……Hehehe.”
Count Fabio expressed his discomfort..
It wasn't wrong..
this war.
It was fought with troops on the Western Front..
If a battle with the Kingdom of Cairo resulted in significant damage, there was no choice but to bring in troops from elsewhere to make up for it..
At that time, the responsibility cannot be avoided..
The defeat against the Kingdom of Cairo was not enough, and the sin that influenced the conflict with the Kingdom Alliance is not a matter that can be overlooked by saying sorry..
at last.
“Damn it. I understand. Let's bring the troops back as soon as the sun rises tomorrow..”
Count Fabio accepted reality.
My stomach was still boiling..
But what can I do?.
There is no other way.
[Well thought out.]
With those words at the end.
Count Fabio became nervous and cut off the communication..
* * *
next day.
The Kronos Empire immediately chose to retreat..
We cleared our positions early in the morning and began retreating before the sun rose in the sky..
“Commander. I will leave scouts behind just in case..”
“There's no need for that..”
“Still, wouldn't it be dangerous? If the Kingdom of Cairo sends a chase team, we may be caught in the tail..”
Adjutant's Advice.
It was the right decision.
Choosing to retreat did not mean simply retreating, but it was necessary to monitor the enemy's movements through scouts..
Normally Count Fabio would have listened to his adjutant..
However, after spending a painful time boiling over all night, he looked at his adjutant with aggressive eyes..
“Do you think that something like Cairo would dare send a chase team against the Kronos Empire? The reason the enemy was able to deal with us was entirely due to the existence of the walls. If you open the gates and send a chase team like you said, we can just defeat them and collapse the western front..”
wide plain.
There is no place to protect yourself here..
I did not expect to be defeated by the Kingdom of Cairo in a situation where each other's strengths clashed head-on..
rather.
I hoped they would come out of the castle..
If Cairo makes that mistake, it will pay the price for its complacency..
“All right.”
The adjutant retreated..
He also agreed to Count Fabio's orders..
Leaving the scouts was a just-in-case decision, but even that eventuality was not that threatening to the Kronos Empire..
Is that why? The Kronos Empire also composed the ranks of its troops in a complacent manner..
Usually, they move in a narrow line as much as possible to prepare for enemy attacks, but now they are in a long line..
The moment you are attacked.
There was a risk of being cut off in the middle..
Even knowing that, the Kronos Empire took a bold step forward..
‘Kingdom of Cairo. It may seem that your world has come to terms with the rebellion now, but it is only a matter of time before it is reduced to a vassal state of the empire. Cairo is a bridgehead for conquering the continent. The moment the Kronos Empire appears on the Western Front once again with its troops, then there will be no stopping the Empire's progress..’
Count Fabio grinned..
Thinking about the future of our enemies gave me some comfort..
As he trudged on horseback, he envisioned the future of the Kingdom of Cairo..
How long did you walk?.
When the sun rose in the sky and was shining with strong sunlight, the adjutant who had retreated earlier came running in with a pale face..
“Commander! Enemies have appeared! Enemies attacked the rear!”
“what?!”
Moment.
Count Fabio could not believe his ears..
The enemy attacked the rear.
Doesn't that mean that he opened the gate and came out?.
“Is that right? Those Cairo guys made a stupid mistake..”
closely.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
pulled the horse's reins.
If the enemy crawls out.
“Order the soldiers immediately. Kill all the bastards in Cairo who don't even know the subject.!”
Count Fabio decided that now was the perfect opportunity to take revenge..
