255Tue international conference (3)
a month ago from now.
The Kingdom of Redford was turned upside down..
“We need to help Roman Dmitry.”
“Valhalla and Kronos have joined forces and are openly attempting to assassinate Roman Dmitri. This is a problem that cannot be ignored. Roman Dmitry is the hero who saved Redford. He knows that such a being is in danger, and if he ignores it like this, the people will blame Redford..”
“That's right!”
Key figures in the country raised their voices.
In fact, the rumors surrounding Roman Dmitry got Redford heated up..
a tragic event.
After the king's suicide and the death of Prince Charles, the Count of Rondon took the throne, and people did not know how much help Roman Dmitry had provided in the process..
If it weren't for Roman Dmitry's help,.
The Redford Kingdom would have lost its national significance even if it had not been for the Empire's attack..
so that.
people took to the streets.
The crowd raised their voices, saying we must help Roman Dmitry..
King Redford said.
“I also think the same as you. Redford, who was heading down the road to ruin, received a chance for his revival with the help of Roman Dmitry. What he gifted us was not simply money to repay debt. Roman Dmitry taught us what is the right way to correct the country, and from now on, we will face the reality before our eyes and do what we think is right. Therefore, proclaim the summons. Form an army, and when the time comes, we will raise troops for Dmitry..”
at that time.
I've already prepared for war.
They actually moved their troops, but the kingdom of Hector contacted them first and said they would resolve the matter, so they put off crossing the border for now..
Redford's departure was a sensitive issue..
At the border between Hector and Valhalla, Hector had a legitimate reason for stepping forward, but Redford had to prepare for war with Valhalla..
then and now.
Thoughts were not different.
King Redford showed an angry expression in response to those who told him to think about reality..
* * *
King Redford said.
“You are making light of the essence of this problem. The Kronos Empire launched an unprovoked attack. It's not that there have been no attacks on the border without warning, but this time, the 'Warp' was used to attack the center of Dmitry. A country could be destroyed. It is not a matter that simply ends with a few people dying; it is a matter of fate..”
Kingdom United Opinion.
understood.
Although he knew very well what they were worried about, King Redford would not allow compromise..
“This incident was a series of injustices from beginning to end. Valhalla openly tolerated assassination attempts taking place within its territory. What does that mean? From now on, if there is an entity that is against Kronos and Valhalla, the simple method of assassination will be used regardless of time and place. This means that no one in this room is safe from the Empire's threats..”
“We know it too. But that doesn't mean we can't start an all-out war with the empire, right??”
It was King Odelia..
War.
It was a cool word..
They also knew that they were being wronged, and of course they had a desire to take revenge..
The problem was the cost of acting emotionally..
Even without comparing and analyzing the power of the opponent, the ranking indicator clearly showed how serious the difference between the empire and the kingdom was..
Except for Roman Dmitry, there was not a single ranker higher than 50th place..
And most of the magic towers that exist on the continent are based in the empire..
The difference in power that can be easily checked is this great, so how can you take revenge on them?.
It was a real problem.
If a lion attacks a herbivore, the herbivore cannot get anything in return from the lion..
If you put your face in it to get a reward, you will be killed by the teeth biting into your neck..
And yet.
King Redford did not back down..
“What if we start an all-out war? When we ignore the reality in front of us, the problem does not disappear; it just grows to the point where it cannot be solved outside of our gaze. One year from now, two years from now, no, 10 years from now. Is there a solution to the problem in situations like this? doesn't exist. In the meantime, the Kronos Empire will further widen the gap with the Kingdom Alliance, and perhaps someone here will follow the trend and leave the Kingdom Alliance..”
“What nonsense is that?!”
“What you are saying is nonsense.!”
Kwaang!
King Redford's face turned bright red..
He glanced at the people who were insisting on compromise and expressed his anger..
“Would you have been able to say something like that if you had been attacked by the Empire? Because I am not part of the Kingdom Alliance, and because I am not the one who suffered the incident. You can say that revenge is a dangerous choice. Redford has no intention of letting something like this happen in the future. If the Principality of Dmitry wants revenge through war. Redford is willing to follow them, even if it means a path to destruction..”
widely.
got up from my seat.
I had nothing more to say.
King Redford's remarks were not a compromise but a notification, and if so, the union of kingdoms had no choice but to lose its meaning of existence..
“As of now, the Kingdom of Redford will withdraw from the ‘Kingdom Union’. Please watch the situation as always from afar. And when the blade of the Empire turns upon you. I'll see if I can say the same thing then as I do now..”
With those words at the end.
King Redford stormed out of the conference room..
* * *
The conference room was in shock..
Leaving behind the people who were still trying to control their emotions, the person who had been silent on the other side opened his mouth..
“When I heard that an international conference was being held. I honestly expected things to be different..”
It was Edwin Hector..
In the presence of the kings of each country, he accepted the invitation on behalf of Hector..
“I don't know if your kings remember the content of previous meetings, but the first international meeting I attended was truly a shabby one. It was a similar incident back then. Clearly, the Kronos Empire committed atrocities, but the agenda of the international conference was not to get them a fair price, but to think about how to best solve this problem. I understand. Hector also spent many bloody years in the existence of the Valhalla Empire, so he knows that it is difficult to go against the empire. But this time is different.”
redford.
The point was different from them..
While Redford included feelings about his benefactor, Edwin Hector judged the situation pragmatically..
“The coalition of kingdoms at that time was powerless to oppose the empire. It can't be said that things are particularly different now, but what is certain is that for the first time, there is a being named Roman Dmitri who is destroying the empire's plans time and time again. The rebellion of Marquis Benedict, in which Kronos intervened, was quickly put to rest by Roman Dmitry. Roman Dmitri, who openly revealed his intention to assassinate Valhalla, proved himself by cutting off the head of Barbossa, known as the Twelve Swords of the Continent. That's not all. What happened to the surprise attack by the Kronos Empire? They hoped to achieve certain results by mobilizing high-circle wizards and 6-star swordsmen, but they were unable to capture Dmitri..”
The game has changed.
In a world where hope was not allowed, a new opponent appeared..
“Roman Dmitry is something beyond the Empire's expectations. Although the Empire does everything it can to deal with him, he has never succeeded in his plans. That's why this place is disappointing. Past and future. We can't guarantee that there will ever be a perfect opportunity for revenge on the Empire, but the reality we face has a perfect match unlike anything we've ever seen before: Roman Dmitry. But what on earth are the kings saying? Even though the situation is better than before, aren't we showing the same attitude as if it is no different from then??”
Hector.
They became a community of destiny after receiving Dmitri's aid..
But regardless of their relationship, Roman Dmitry was confident that he was the one to lead the continent's weak countries..
Edwin Hector also stood up..
The moment King Redford left.
He also had no reason to stay any longer..
“Hector was not a member of the Kingdom Alliance in the first place, but from now on, we will handle this issue separately from the Kingdom Alliance. Let me say one last thing. If time passes and the day comes to look back on today. You will regret your choice of not righting what was clearly wrong. Just as the history of the continent always records the empire as the winner..”
international conference.
The end was a catastrophe..
* * *
The conference room became empty..
Only two people went out, but King Odelia smiled helplessly as the cold wind blew..
“Everyone was out of their minds. A perfect opponent. No matter how hard Roman Dmitry struggles, he is nothing compared to the Empire..”
distant past.
There was a time when the Kingdom Alliance also held its head high..
And the brutal massacre that took place at that time established a clear hierarchy between the Kingdom Alliance and the Empire..
King Umberto said.
“It's not that I don't agree with King Redford and Prince Hector's comments. However, I can assure you that the country that shed the most blood with Kronos on the Salamander Continent is our Umberto. If Roman Dmitry becomes the best prosecutor on the continent, do you think he can turn the tide? It's impossible. Even if he slaughters tens of thousands of enemies alone, the Empire will mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to suppress us. That is the reality of the continent that has been repeated throughout history..”
From generation to generation.
History tells what has happened.
In a history marred by defeat, the ancestors of the Kingdom Alliance left a warning never to antagonize the Empire..
It's not that I'm a coward..
When a herbivore shows its teeth against a lion, it is not courage, it is just a display of ignorance and ignorance of reality. It's stupid, it's a stupid thing to do.
The people of the Kingdom Alliance, including Umberto, knew very well what the Kronos Empire was, so they had no choice but to make a realistic choice..
As King Redford said.
The blade may be pointed at you at any time..
However, since ancient times, it was natural for the weak to live lives whose lives were controlled by predators anyway..
that is.
It was the life of the weak.
King Odelia looked worried..
“……I hope this won't really turn into a war.?”
“That doesn't happen. Roman Dmitry is an extreme but clever person. An all-out war with Kronos would plunge Dmitri into the abyss of destruction, but would he really make that choice? King Redford and Prince Hector have said they will follow Dmitri, but the best they can do is raise their voices against the Kronos Empire, no matter how extreme. Then, if Kronos is really angry, then he has no choice but to bow his head..”
“I don't know why everyone ignores reality. Even though it is resentful and unfair, this is the reality of weak countries..”
they were sure.
Without the help of the Kingdom Coalition.
Dmitry's options are bound to be limited..
Even with all their combined efforts, it wasn't enough, and there was barely anything they could do with Redford and Hector's help..
But a few days later.
The 2nd International Conference was urgently convened.
It had to be that way..
without any warning.
The Principality of Dmitri declared war first against the Kronos Empire..
