The time when a long battle will take place.
The Cairo Royal Palace fell into deep silence..
‘Cairo's fate depended on my choice..’
Daniel Cairo.
Even after giving the order to attack Roman Dmitry, from then on he constantly wondered whether his choice was right..
Considering the value of existence as a kingdom, it was clear that it was the right thing to do..
However, depending on success or failure, the price Cairo had to bear was so extreme that it could be described as heaven or hell..
If successful.
‘Just one victory will lead Cairo down a completely different path than before. The people will have pride in not giving in to Kronos, and the rebels will be eliminated and the kingdom's system will be perfected. Apart from the conflict with the Kronos Empire, it is clear that it will be an opportunity to escape from the reality of being a weak country..’
the problem is.
It was a failure.
The war would not simply end with the loss of troops, but it might have cost even more..
‘This battle is a war that mobilizes all the forces of the Western Front. The moment they are defeated outside the castle, the Kronos Empire will not miss the opportunity and try to destroy the West. If a strategic point is given over to the enemy, Kronos may change his course to target Cairo directly, no matter how much trouble there is with the Kingdom Alliance. The battle that has already taken place provides a justification for the war, and even if they intervened in the rebellion first, there is no way for us to fight against the logic of power..’
It was the worst possibility.
Even so, with the kingdom's power weakened by the civil war, the defeat had irreversible consequences..
really.
It was difficult.
If you know the answer.
No, at least if the price of responsibility was only one's own life..
I wouldn't have been this anxious and anxious..
‘Because of my choice, Cairo has entered an irreversible path. Even if it was a choice for the kingdom, the history of the continent would hold me responsible for its defeat. And countless people will die. To the empire that was trying to use Cairo as a bridgehead for conquering the continent, we made a choice that gave us the perfect justification..’
People's evaluation was right.
Himself.
He was a person unsuited to difficult times..
The sight of him shaking with anxiety alone in an empty royal palace was far from the upright and unwavering king that the people hoped for..
I didn't want to make the excuse that it was because of my young age..
Isn't Roman Dmitry fighting the Kronos Empire on the front lines when he's only in his mid-20s?.
I'm just not confident enough.
Cairo had a king suitable for a weak country, and even though it was the right decision, I was not convinced that this was the right answer..
I was anxious and anxious.
king's seat.
A single word cost a lot..
Therefore, if my own abilities were lacking, I tried to trust people who could complement them..
It was then.
Crash.
far away.
I heard urgent footsteps..
Someone was running through the hallway to where Daniel Cairo was..
yet.
Suddenly.
the door opened.
The moment you see Simon’s face as you enter.
‘Oh my god.’
With a bright expression as if he owned the world, Daniel Cairo clenched his fists tightly..
* * *
It was a huge win.
On the other side of the screen, Count Vandenberg spoke with his face unable to suppress the joy of victory..
[Your Majesty the King! Cairo has won! There was a battle in the west, and as a result, Count Fabio, the commander of the Kronos Empire, was killed and the rest of the troops were captured.!]
kingdom of cairo.
The hastily gathered leaders cheered..
They too were anxious, and the news from the west was like an oasis in the desert..
Daniel Cairo asked.
“What happens to our damage??”
The dangerous hurdle has been passed..
But the problem has not been completely solved yet..
There was still a process of organizing the interior, and troops were needed to prepare for Kronos' response..
especially.
Roman Dmitry's well-being was an important issue..
[Damage to allies is minimal. This is all thanks to Roman Dmitry’s performance. The surprise attack threw the enemy into confusion, and thanks to Roman Dmitry's handling of Count Fabio in the meantime, he was able to quickly induce the opponent's surrender. And in the process, we dealt with Gustavo, the leader of the Kronos Empire Knights..]
It was truly a great achievement..
Even as Daniel Cairo gave the attack order, he had doubts about whether he would be able to defeat the Kronos Empire outside the castle..
That's how much the genes of defeat are embedded in Cairo's bones..
Victory was not a result that Cairo was very accustomed to, and even victory was considered fortunate against the mighty armies of the empire..
however.
A victory with minimal damage.
Daniel Cairo couldn't hide his joy either..
I wanted to cheer like everyone else for the sake of respect and all, but there was a fact I shouldn't forget right now..
‘The war is not over yet. Diplomacy outside the battlefield is also a branch of war. If you do not end the conversation with the Kronos Empire well, even if you win the battle, it may lead to bad results..’
“I don't know how the Kronos Empire will come out of this problem. First, after ensuring the safety of the prisoners as much as possible, we will now prepare for negotiations with Kronos. The primary goal is clear. Rather than pushing the situation to the extreme with unnecessary disruption, we must end this matter as peacefully as possible. We are not over the civil war yet. Keep in mind that although Marquis Benedict's noble faction has fallen, time is needed to resolve their influence and the imperial faction's nobility..”
[I will follow your orders.]
Screen bathed in darkness.
Daniel Cairo took a deep breath..
Although he was not allowed to let down his guard, an aura of relief still spread across his face..
* * *
western plains.
In a place with few people, a warm fire rose..
Hwareuk.
Grumbling.
As Count Vandenberg said, the damage in this war was minimal..
But that was the norm in war, and that didn't mean that very few numbers were killed..
Hundreds of people sacrificed their lives for the operation..
Sometimes, the ruthless commanders did not proceed with the funeral because the situation was still in chaos, but Roman Dmitry stayed until all the bodies were burned..
death was familiar.
I witnessed many deaths throughout my life, but despite that, I tried not to get used to the attitude of accepting death..
These are people who risk their lives for themselves..
Although it was their choice, they knew very well that the moment they take the people's sacrifice for granted, the commander loses trust..
Roman also.
Because I was once a person who was forced to make sacrifices..
Looking at the burning flames, I showed courtesy towards them..
“Organize your surroundings well.”
“All right.”
the funeral is over.
Roman Dmitry, who left Chris to take care of the situation, immediately returned to the castle and checked the condition of the injured..
Large space.
It was full of injured people..
People were groaning in pain and looking for therapists, and countless therapists appeared from nowhere and were looking at the patients' condition..
Before leaving for battle. Roman Dmitry contacted Count Fabius and ordered him to send the capital's healers to the West..
Dmitri promised to take care of the expenses, and Count Fabius sent a large number of healers to make sure that the matter was handled..
They were all devoted to treatment..
It was not just a simple treatment, but expensive potions were poured depending on the condition..
Other soldiers saw it..
Knowing that the sight before their eyes originated from Roman Dmitry, they felt genuine admiration..
“That's amazing.”
“Using potions to treat single soldiers?.”
“Even though Dmitry has a lot of money, it's all thanks to Roman Dmitry..”
this war.
The way people look at Roman Dmitry has changed..
The overwhelming force aroused awe, and the way the soldiers were cared for after the war was truly heartfelt..
Actually, at first I didn't quite understand the blind loyalty of Dmitry's soldiers..
I thought they were such foolish beings that they would jump into the fire at Roman Dmitry's command, but when I saw their treatment with my own eyes, I realized what the source of trust was..
Roman Dmitry.
He was not neglectful of his people..
To ensure that they were satisfied with the present, we gave them treatment they had never received anywhere else..
At first glance, it was said that if a person dies or becomes disabled in war, appropriate compensation will be sent to the family..
Following Roman Dmitry is not easy.
As much as his reputation on the continent was, he would always be destined to visit dangerous places, but even so, he was a being worth offering loyalty to..
By the time the treatment reached its end,.
There was a being talking to Roman Dmitry..
“Could you please give me a moment??”
He is the head of the Western General Staff.
It was Baron Noel..
* * *
Staff is the brain.
Rather than being someone who fought directly on the battlefield, he made plans and led the situation so that his chess pieces would move in the ideal direction..
This time was no different.
Although he was somewhat stubborn, he provided a stable direction..
While living on the Western Front, he experienced numerous battles, and the pain he experienced did not allow Roman Dmitry's operation in his mind..
until the very end.
Baron Noel expressed doubts about the operation..
Considering the strength of Kronos and Cairo, the battle outside the castle could not guarantee victory..
however.
It was a great victory.
When he opened the castle gate and saw the golden return home, Baron Noel finally faced his own reality..
‘I have regressed.’
Flora Lawrence.
She insisted on trusting Roman Dmitry until the end..
Aside from the fact that she had already established relationships in the northeast, she was someone who knew how to understand the trend and embrace it..
The decision to open the castle gate and the proposal to trust Roman Dmitry and protect the entire force from the rear as much as possible..
Such open thinking ultimately produced the most positive results..
My vision was clear.
Now was not the time to focus on advancing to the capital, but it was necessary to develop as a person suitable for the Western Front..
To make sure of your promise.
Baron Noel visited Roman Dmitry.
I moved to a place with few people and spoke sincerely..
“……We apologize for viewing Roman Dmitry's judgment negatively. Actually, I couldn't quite believe it. Born in a country called Cairo, and as a staff member of a small and weak country, the reality I faced did not allow me to make judgments like today. I thought I had gained some experience on the Western Front, but it seems that was only a narrow-minded view. So I really wanted to apologize and say thank you. Thanks to this, the Western Front and the Kingdom of Cairo were safe..”
Baron Noel.
was a decent person.
The world he experienced only forced him to make negative choices, and he was the kind of person suited to the Western Front..
Cairo.
A country called a weak nation was supported by people like Baron Noel..
Whatever the reason, there were people shedding blood and sweat at the forefront, and it was because of their presence that Cairo maintained its reputation despite foreign invasions..
Roman said.
“no. On the battlefield, blind trust is a fatal poison. Rather than blindly following my choices, opposing opinions are definitely needed. Only then can we reach a more ideal conclusion. Baron Noel did his part, and we won the war in the end..”
“Thank you for saying that. By the way, what do you plan to do next? Now that we've secured Kronos' prisoners, we have the upper hand at the negotiating table..”
changed the topic.
There was homework left to do.
Only when negotiations with Kronos are successfully completed will the war truly end, and the entire leadership was hopeful about this..
however.
Roman thought differently..
“The situation is not as hopeful as you might think.”
“……What do you mean by that?.”
Previous precedent.
Roman Dmitry affirmed Kronos' choice.
“Even though we may have taken many prisoners, the Kronos Empire will never allow us to negotiate..”
