282Tuesday ending (2)
that day.
A man named Lucas came to the Drake family and revealed himself as Roman Dmitry's agent..
“So, what brought you to me??”
drake marquis.
A symbol of Umberto's military, he examined Lucas with sharp eyes befitting his reputation..
Right next to him was his eldest son, Calderon Drake. Having lived on the battlefield since childhood following his father, he was a genius in swordsmanship who awakened the three-star aura in his early 30s..
Although Umberto always suffered from Cronos' persecution, the two were such symbolic figures that people say that if someone asks about Umberto's future, they should look at father and son Drake..
The pressure was incredible..
An ordinary person would not be able to withstand the gaze of two people, but Lucas experienced the overwhelming presence of Roman Dmitry..
blast furnace.
Lucas' reaction was relaxed..
I savored the tea provided by the Drake family and calmly accepted the situation..
“It smells good. Since you're asking so bluntly, I won't spin around. I think you all know that the Kronos Empire has announced that it will assassinate my master, Roman Dmitri. In the process of counteracting the forces that attempted to assassinate the master, we secured data that was clearly labeled as a ‘first-level assassination list’..”
“Does that mean I'm on that list?.”
“no. There were two people on the list, one was the Earl of Rondon in the Kingdom of Redford and the other was…….”
I shifted my gaze.
As I passed Marquis Drake and looked at Calderon Drake, Marquis Drake hit the table harshly..
Kwaang!
“These bastards will kill you! Are you saying they were after my son? How dare you, the eldest son of the Drake family??!”
“yes. They assassinated my son and tried to frame it as the work of traitors from the Kingdom of Umberto. What they want is for Umberto's infighting. If Marquis Drake, the symbol of the military, is consumed with anger, he will lose the ability to deal with the external enemy, Kronos. That's why I came here in person to warn you of the assassination attempt..”
“Is that the end? I'm grateful for that alone, but if it were just that, I wouldn't have come to see me in person..”
veteran.
Marquis Drake read the tablets.
Roman Dmitry heads to Redford and thinks Lucas has another reason for coming to see him..
Lucas laughed..
“you're right. From now on, I would like to tell the Drake family what will happen in the future. My lord will finish his journey to Redford and head to Valhalla. After everything is done there, there is a very real possibility that war with the Kronos Empire will become a reality. At that time, I hope the Kingdom of Umberto makes a realistic decision. The Kingdom Alliance will waver between Kronos and Dmitri like a reed, but if you choose Kronos this time, the opportunity to change the landscape of the continent will never come back..”
“By any chance, does this mean you're going to start an all-out war with Kronos?.”
“yes. If the situation goes to extremes, Dmitry will not back down..”
Marquis Drake was impressed..
Dmitry.
they are crazy.
You've made great moves recently, but I didn't know you were prepared to go to war with Kronos..
Lucas' words created confusion.
Marquis Drake was a strong man, but an all-out war with Kronos was not a matter to be taken lightly..
It is different from simply preventing enemy attacks at the border..
If war had been declared against demons like Kronos, the Kingdom of Umberto could have fallen on the path of destruction with just one choice..
I'm in trouble.
At that time, Calderon Drake said.
“father. May I say something??”
“speak.”
“Looking back on Roman Dmitry's actions, there were no coincidences. He created the situation himself and put Dmitry where he is now. I think it's a similar problem this time. If Roman Dmitry decided to go to war and gave us a chance like this. It's clear that they have something to deal with Kronos..”
saw lucas.
As a prosecutor, Calderon Drake truly admired Roman Dmitry's actions..
“I will not give any assurances about the future here. But if the day comes when Roman Dmitry really proves his war against Kronos with his actions. Drake won't miss that opportunity.”
that day.
The rich man talked a lot.
And when Roman Dmitry declared war, they contacted Dmitry and promised a new future..
* * *
pop.
communication was lost.
King Odelia was ecstatic..
When I heard that Drake followed Roman Dmitry in the first place, I was shocked beyond words..
“……Roman Dmitry did not wage a reckless war. In the first place, Hector, Redford, Umberto, Cairo. He secured the support of the majority of the kingdoms on the continent and laid the groundwork to prove that he could defeat the Kronos Empire with Dmitri's power alone. I made such a stupid decision without even knowing that..”
I got goosebumps.
Roman Dmitry was bold, but he was not a person who excluded reality..
Cairo and Hector were secured as allies from the beginning, and the Kingdom of Redford gained favor through the work of Count Rondon..
And Umberto.
Rather than placating the weak king, they drew up a picture for a new era by stimulating the Drake family that supported the Kingdom of Umberto..
at last.
From the beginning, Dmitry did not need the support of the United Kingdom..
Rather than just trying to appease the Franks and Odelia, he tested the sincerity of the two kingdoms with an unconventional move..
The King of the Franks was quick to notice..
In a rapidly changing situation, the Franks followed the trend, but after much deliberation, King Odelia made the choice to support the Kronos Empire..
I was hopeless.
I wanted to rip my own mouth off, but even if I could turn back time, I don't think I would have made any other choice..
“……father. Why did my father make me so weak?.”
former king.
King Odelia's father said this as he looked at his son inheriting the crown..
“The king's position is not a very enjoyable one. Remember the pain of your ancestors. The ancestors who held their heads high against strong powers such as the Kronos Empire and the Valhalla Empire, not a single one escaped a desperate end. Some kings visited the empire and bowed their heads dozens of times, while others had their heads blown off and hung on the castle walls. That is Odelia's reality. The king of a weak country must be satisfied with the power and life befitting a weak country..”
he is.
I looked at my son with a sad face..
Because the days I lived were not that happy..
Both his father and grandfather had told him cruelly how the king of a weak country should behave in order to survive..
He passed down his teachings to his son for his life. From now on, I believed that there would be no way to escape Kronos's clutches..
And those memories.
became shackles.
King Odelia could not bear to see a new future even though a rival named Dmitri appeared..
Odelia's ancestors.
Their despair, their pain was imprinted deep in their bones..
“……If my father had told me something different, would I have made a different choice?.”
no.
it was impossible.
That's how he lived, and he wasn't even allowed to imagine a new future..
It was then.
Suddenly!
“Stand, the gate! The gate has been breached!”
The subordinate shouted.
Seeing his expression full of despair, King Odelia closed his eyes tightly..
The Kingdom of Odelia.
His fate ended here..
* * *
polar opposite.
Unlike Odelia, who was on the path to downfall, the King of Franks walked majestically into the conference room..
“His Majesty the King enters!”
Knight's loud voice.
The leaders stood up and bowed their heads..
After entering, the King of Franks sat down at the head table and received respectful glances from the leaders..
“His Majesty the King made the right choice. With Dmitri defeating Kronos, we are free from the clutches of the Empire..”
“How on earth can you be born with such great insight? I knew right away that His Majesty's perspective was different from that of a criminal, but I was truly amazed as I watched him lead the Frankish kingdom with bold decisions. I would like to take this opportunity to once again pledge my loyalty to His Majesty the King.!”
“Long live His Majesty the King of the Franks!”
There was an uproar.
To Dmitry's victory news, they reacted with more joy than anyone else..
“Ha ha ha ha ha. Everyone is painting my face with gold. I just watched the flow and decided that I could no longer watch the atrocities of the Kronos Empire. The truly great person is Roman Dmitry. He thought he was fully prepared as he had declared war, but he had no idea that he would defeat Kronos with force..”
“No one on the continent would have thought of that.”
“is it. Hahahaha.”
laughed cheerfully.
The King of Franks did not hide his joy, so much so that his uvula was visible..
either/or.
At a crossroads, the Frankish Kingdom chose Dmitry after much deliberation..
however.
When I heard the news that the Kingdom of Odelia was attacked by the Kronos Empire and that Dmitri had defeated the Kronos Empire, I got goosebumps..
Odelia's end may have been Frank's future.
If the plan of the Kronos Empire had been accepted, the Franks would not have been safe either..
Your judgment was right.
From now on, I had to make sure to take advantage of the advantageous situation..
King of the Franks said.
“By attacking the Kingdom of Odelia, the Kronos Empire proved that it could not coexist with the kingdoms of the continent. Now is the opportunity. Now that Dmitry has defeated Kronos, we must secure favorable conditions for us by pushing back against the Kronos Empire. So gather your troops right now. Immediately after holding a meeting with the new kingdom alliance tomorrow, we will take revenge on the Kronos Empire, which has despised and persecuted the Franks..”
made a decision.
The leaders responded enthusiastically to the King of Frankish's order, saying it was a wise decision..
and the next day.
The King of Franks heard shocking news..
“what? Kronos wants a truce.?!”
that.
It was an unexpected development that I could not have imagined at all..
* * *
Kronos' agent.
It was Baron Charlton..
After visiting Kairos, he looked at the King of Cairo who was sitting at the head of the table and said:.
“This war started from a minor conflict. I fully understand Dmitry and Cairo's anger and feelings for declaring war, but I hope that His Majesty, Emperor Kronos, will end the war. So, how about we just declare a ceasefire? This decision was not made because of defeat on the Western Front. The Kronos Empire has already prepared for a follow-up attack, but Emperor Kronos made this merciful choice because he did not want any more senseless sacrifices..”
he was proud.
Even after being defeated in the war and even after mentioning the truce first, he held his head high as if he had nothing to bow down to..
There were enemies everywhere.
Dmitri's people glared at him, but he had never once felt fear in his life as Kronos' agent. His own background is the Kronos Empire. It gave me infinite confidence.
“I don't think this truce is a bad deal from Dmitry and Cairo's perspective. If you go to the end with Kronos, will you have the confidence to handle Kronos with the power of the two kingdoms? Don't judge everything by just one win. And especially. If you accept the truce, I will spare King Odelia as a token of peace. The capital of Odelia has now fallen to Kronos, but to prove our sincerity, we will guarantee the safety of Odelia. Please make a wise choice.”
it's never.
It wasn't a loser's request..
Kronos' proposal was so coercive that its meaning as a proposal was meaningless..
It was then.
“Roman Dmitry. What do you think of Kronos' offer?.”
The King of Cairo passed the floor.
Knowing that Roman Dmitry was a real power, people's attention naturally focused on one place..
OK.
Roman Dmitry said.
“Baron Charlton. Who decided not to kill messengers during war??”
It was an obvious inferiority..
Seeing him making remarks even in public places, Baron Charlton shouted at him with a red face..
“Be polite!”
“Continental law speaks of a duty to protect ‘messengers.’ I also admit that fact. But did you follow the proper procedures as a messenger? They didn't ask for our permission in advance or raise a white flag first. The Kronos Empire arrogantly notified the messenger's warp. According to the procedures specified in continental law, you are not a being who can be defined as a messenger..”
“……what is that.”
Moment.
Baron Charlton was perplexed..
Roman Dmitry, I didn't know he would react like this..
“We're still at war, Baron Charlton..”
showed murderous intent.
Even without drawing a sword, he suppressed the existence of people with just his eyes..
“If you want to be a messenger in the middle of enemy territory, kneel to raise a white flag..”
