256Tue international conference (4)
The day before the declaration of war.
Roman Dmitri, who was concentrating on treatment, looked down at the two men lying like corpses while reaping mana..
‘Now all I can do is done.’
innate energy.
Although he used the source of his birth to revive his ability to revive, Roman Dmitry's technique was not truly capable of bringing back even the dead..
From now on, I had to survive on my own..
If you accept death and let go of your consciousness like this, all your efforts will be in vain..
death.
It was a familiar word.
In the process of reaching the pinnacle, Gwangma was not the only one who died for him..
There were a lot.
I climbed up from the cold and dirty bottom by stepping on the corpses of my comrades, and I had no time to mourn their deaths as I lived a life that was not allowed with a single margin of leeway..
Was that why?.
Later, after unifying the martial arts group and living a boringly repetitive life, memories of those intense days kept coming back to me..
Why then?.
Couldn't I have looked around?.
Even back then, people evaluated Baek Jung-hyuk, the Heavenly Demon, as someone who truly cared about his people, but when you think about it, that wasn't the case..
The intensity of life always left behind regrets..
That may have been the reason why I rejected God's call when I was faced with the opportunity to become a fable and a blessing at the end of my life..
Himself.
He wanted to die as a human like the people who followed him..
And now that I have gained a new life, I did not want to leave behind any regrets as much as possible while walking the path of the Heavenly Demon..
efforts for treatment.
it's no big deal.
Although it is said that the energy of the natural world has been consumed, when you reach the state of outer space, assimilation with nature will fill the exhausted energy of the natural world with even more power..
The difference from my previous life is not that I sacrificed myself for my subordinates..
Even with the enemy called the ‘Kronos Empire’ right in front of him, he chose to take care of the safety of his subordinates first..
that is.
It was the way of life.
Roman Dmitry left the treatment room and as soon as he came out, he noticed people waiting for him..
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Chris in the lead.
Dmitry's soldiers were waiting..
Seeing them waiting endlessly for the day he would come out, Roman Dmitry showed his true self again..
“From now on, summon all the lords of the Principality of Dmitry..”
“I obey orders.”
The Heavenly Horse.
don't forget grudges.
He only took care of his subordinates first, and there will be no mercy in the Heavenly Demon's ways..
* * *
Just 3 hours.
That was the time it took for Dmitry's lords to gather.
From the beginning, he had stopped everything and was waiting, so he showed up to Dmitry as soon as the order was given..
meeting room.
The nobles came first.
Regarding the contents of the upcoming meeting, Viscount Konrad, who once led the Northeast Association, spoke in a quiet voice..
“Even if Roman Dmitri is belligerent, he won't declare war against the Kronos Empire, right? These days, I keep getting scared. The Kronos Empire is a monster that cannot guarantee victory even if all the kingdoms on the continent join forces, but the lord we serve has never once retreated, hasn't he??”
“you're right. If war breaks out like this, the situation cannot be reversed from then on..”
Those who followed Conrad.
They also looked worried.
Then, one of the nobles listening to the conversation next to him, Viscount Laurence, responded with a distorted expression..
“The Kronos Empire attacked Dmitry. This is a matter that clearly requires responsibility, and if it were a war, I would gladly risk my life at the forefront of the battlefield. Everyone, please watch your mouth. Dmitry's future will always be a matter for the lord to decide..”
“No, it doesn't mean that we don't follow our master's orders, does it? Like Viscount Laurence, we too would jump into a fiery pit if our lord ordered us to do so. But that doesn't change the fact that the war against Kronos was reckless. Those who just bow their heads and say that their lord's words are right are not loyal subjects to this country..”
“Are you criticizing me now??”
“Think whatever you want! Whatever Viscount Laurence thinks, the war against Kronos is not an easy matter.!”
Opinions were already divided..
forces following Lawrence.
The forces that follow Conrad.
Dmitry was divided into two factions.
The forces following Viscount Lawrence were the type that said that Roman Dmitry's words were absolutely right, and if he gave an order to hug rice straw and jump into the fire pit, they would do so without hesitation..
On the contrary, those who followed Viscount Conrad expressed doubts about all choices..
First of all, I hoped that no matter what, a reasonable method would be chosen..
Therefore, the two forces had no choice but to clash ahead of the war with Kronos..
but.
they had one thing in common.
They sincerely swore allegiance to Dmitry.
It's just that they have different ways of loyalty, but there was no doubt about Roman Dmitry..
last month.
Roman Dmitry's actions were a series of surprises..
It was amazing that he came back alive despite the threats from Valhalla and Kronos, but people were moved by the sight of him staying in the treatment room for over a week to save Kevin and Henderson..
As if Chris was looking at the two and projecting himself..
All who follow Roman Dmitry have confidence that they will not be abandoned if they live for him..
aristocratic society.
It's a world that has lost its romance..
In this world where people are thrown to death if they become useless, Roman Dmitry showed loyalty to his subjects..
Some might say this is no big deal.
But since most people don't act like that, Roman Dmitry's behavior was bound to stand out..
all of these.
Followed Roman Dmitry.
Even though opinions differed, arriving at Dmitry in three hours was a testament to their faith..
It was then.
“Master Roman Dmitry enters..”
servant's voice.
Those who had conflicting opinions immediately showed courtesy towards their lord..
* * *
Roman Dmitry sat at the head of the table.
Now, in a very natural picture, Roman Dmitry sat down the nobles and got straight to the point..
“The Kronos Empire did something that should not have been done. However, I heard that not only Dmitry, but also international conferences have different opinions on how to handle this issue. Because the atrocities of the Kronos Empire are commonplace, people may have forgotten how to be angry. I don't like it in itself.”
the atmosphere has changed.
Roman Dmitry looked at the nobles with a cold expression..
“The fact that the Kronos Empire attacked Dmitri and violated continental law is not an important issue. They believed that they could capture Dmitry with only less than 10,000 troops, and they carried out their plan without the slightest thought of the consequences. That is the reality of the continent. The reason they were able to act like that, regardless of the military power they had, was because history gave them the basis for doing so..”
kingdoms of the continent.
Their history has always been plagued by a great evil called the Kronos Empire, but there has never been a single retaliation sufficient to make them aware..
The battle on the border was nothing.
They only counterattacked the enemy's attacks, but did not think about attacking the empire's territory first..
like that.
Time has accumulated.
Now that we can't even remember when the bad relationship started, people have become accustomed to reality..
“From now on, I will pay for attacking Dmitry..”
“……Are you really saying you want to go to war??”
It was Viscount Conrad..
To his question, Roman Dmitry said:.
“From the moment Kronos' assassins attacked me, the war against the Empire had already begun. After dealing with the entire assassination guild that day, I sent a warning to those who were planning on carrying out ‘assassination’ to be prepared for the consequences. And the answer was an assassination in Valhalla territory and a direct attack on Dmitry. Viscount Conrad. People who believed in me and followed me bled to death due to their one-sided attack. Do you think it is right to bow your head and talk about compromise? If they apologize for this incident, do you think we should accept peace with a few words of apology from the powerful??”
“no.”
“Yeah, no. From now on, Kronos's will is not important in this matter. We will not allow compromise with them and will go to war with them until they get paid for messing with us. Even if Kronos said he wanted peace. I, this Roman Dmitry, do not want peace with them..”
The more you speak.
Roman Dmitry's presence burned fiercely..
Cheonma Baek Jung-hyuk.
Even though he stubbornly lived at the bottom of life, he did not allow anyone to look down on him..
Things have changed.
If we have been accepting until now, we will take the lead in this fight..
Roman Dmitry said.
“As of now, the Principality of Dmitry will declare war against the Kronos Empire. Each lord gathers his troops, announces a state of alert, and prepares for war against the enemy. Keep this in mind. This war will leave a clear example that the continent's governance will not follow the past..”
a thunderous command.
Viscount Konrad questioned the intention, but he did not show the slightest doubt about the firm order..
“I obey orders.”
“I obey orders.”
Dmitry's lords.
For them, Roman Dmitry's orders were absolute..
* * *
sudden declaration of war.
It wasn't even discussed with Redford or Hector..
As they were waiting to meet Roman Dmitry, they couldn't help but be shocked by Dmitry's actions..
‘Are you really declaring war?.’
It was shocking.
This incident was clearly Kronos's fault, but considering the strength of the empire, declaring war was a difficult matter..
Therefore, even as Edwin Hector, he could not help but be confused..
I thought I knew a lot about Roman Dmitry, but I never thought he would announce a decision like this without his consent..
‘Dmitry refused to attend the international conference. At first, I thought it was simply because of Roman Dmitry's schedule, but with actions like this, he may not have wanted help in the first place. Is that possible? Fighting a war with Dmitri's own strength.’
To put it bluntly.
it was impossible.
Even if Redford and Hector helped, there was no 1% chance of winning the war against the Kronos Empire..
that day.
Edwin Hector contacted me immediately..
I wanted to coordinate the situation through a meeting with Roman Dmitri, and if a war with Kronos became a reality, there was a need for the Kingdom of Hector to prepare as well..
As time passed, the Kronos Empire did not hide its greed for conquering the continent..
I was convinced that if even Roman Dmitry, my only opponent, fell, the kingdoms on the continent would inevitably fall one after another by the Kronos Empire one day..
furthermore.
The magic tower lord of the sky also said this:.
“Edwin. People, including you, do not know the truth. The reason the Magic Tower in the Sky is located in the Kronos Empire is not to provide an environment for the development of magic, but because only loyalty to Kronos can guarantee the future. I am saying this because I personally want you to remain as my disciple. If you are thinking of taking revenge on the Kronos Empire, stop now..”
Celestial Wizard.
He was an out-of-this-world being..
Even a magician who had reached an extremely high level uttered incomprehensible words as he looked at Edwin Hector, who was learning about the Kronos Empire..
That's why I couldn't give up my connection with Roman Dmitry..
When faced with unpredictable variables, Roman Dmitry was the only one who could overcome them..
war on the southern front.
By experiencing Roman Dmitry firsthand, Edwin Hector gained strong confidence in Roman Dmitry..
Unfortunately Roman Dmitry could not meet.
Instead, Count Fabius appeared on behalf of Dmitri at a ceremony attended by King Redford..
“This is Count Fabius..”
“Please get straight to the point. What on earth are Roman Dmitry’s intentions??”
A question that wants the truth.
Knowing that Redford and Hector were on Dmitry's side, Count Fabius said with a humorous smile:.
“It's what you see.”
declaration of war.
Roman Dmitry has already taken action.
“The lord wants revenge through Dmitry's own power. So, please attend the international conference right now and convey the situation to other countries. That Redford and Hector did not intervene. What happens from now on is purely the result of the union between Cairo and Dmitry..”
I was embarrassed for a moment.
Fabius' remarks.
This was the type of story that could not be accepted by common sense..
