Valhalla's famous family, Count Clive.
Count Clive looked at the items on the desk with puzzled eyes..
“……what does this mean?”
“As you can see, it is a resignation letter. I have received a lot of help from the Clive family, but I have decided that I can no longer pursue my goals here..”
“no! no way!”
Wow.
Count Clive was furious and tore up his resignation letter..
The man who submitted his resignation letter.
The swordsman named Logan was a strong man ranked 19th in Valhalla rankings..
About three years ago, the Clive family spent a large sum of money to invite him from outside, and the fact that he was a member of the Clive family made people highly value the prestigious family..
But suddenly you want to leave your family?.
This was like a thunderbolt for Count Clive, as he thought he had been treated well without any shortcomings..
“Where on earth are you? Who dared to try to recruit the Clive family's prosecutor? What to do? Marcal? I don't know how great the offer was from any family, but I will offer better terms than that. Logan. You are now a member of the Clive family. If the world finds out that you left the Clive family and moved to another family, Clive's status will inevitably fall.!”
My voice rose..
It was a sensitive issue, and I could hardly contain my excitement..
3years ago.
As Count Clive said, Logan accepted the invitation and granted their demands with full support..
It was a win-win relationship.
Not long ago, he had no intention of leaving Clive, but recent events have caused great turmoil in Logan's mind..
Logan said.
“I have no intention of leaving for another family in Valhalla..”
“Then why! Why do you want to leave Clive?!”
“……I'm sure the Count remembers Roman Dmitry's case. Roman Dmitry accepted the festival even after learning that Valhalla was seeking his life, and proved his worth by defeating Morales and other swordsmen alone. And Barbossa. He was unable to block ten of his attacks and fell down spattering his blood. At that time, I felt my heart heating up..”
a seat in the stands.
there was logan.
As he looked at Roman Dmitry's overwhelming force, he felt that the warrior god had descended from heaven..
“Valhalla has lost its romance. Although it was right to send Roman Dmitri, the winner of the festival, away, he said that the Kronos Empire's attack had nothing to do with Valhalla, as if they were treating us like blind craftsmen. Count. There is no future for me on this earth. If you want to live honorably as a warrior, you can't at least remain a warrior of Valhalla..”
It was a difficult decision.
For someone who was born in Valhalla and lived his entire life on this land, leaving in search of a new dream was not an easy decision to make..
Meanwhile, I heard a rumor..
It was about Roman Dmitry rescuing a private soldier, and Logan's heart pounded like crazy at the fact that he could receive his teachings..
19above reputation?
it didn't mean anything.
Roman Dmitri, who defeated Barbossa, was someone that even he had to look up to..
furthermore.
After hearing about the treatment of the casualties, Logan decided to break up with the Clive family..
“I am thinking of leaving for Dmitry. There is no way to stop my decision under any conditions. It's not that life in Clive was dissatisfying, but Dmitri only had dreams of becoming a warrior. Thank you so much so far.”
I lowered my head..
Count Clive looked at Logan's back as he walked away with empty eyes..
* * *
Things like Logan didn't only happen in Valhalla..
In every country on the continent.
people flocked.
Adelian's inn, a stopover, was more crowded with people from various countries than ever before..
widely.
“Ugh.”
The bald man roughly put down his beer glass..
He glanced at the man around him and spoke naturally..
“You seem like a person who has eaten a lot of food. Where are you from??”
The man who was asked a question.
The snake-eyed man chuckled..
“I'm from Frank.”
“Frank. Why did you come all the way here from so far away??”
“Isn’t the reason obvious? Because Dmitri's hero was saving a soldier, he threw away everything he was doing and ran for a month. Dmitry heard that the 'casualties' were treated with respect. If you're going to live your life at the point of a sword, wouldn't it be better to have someone who doesn't take death lightly??”
“That's right, hahahaha.”
The bald man laughed heartily..
Although they might end up competing in the future, he enjoyed this moment with the snake-eyed man as he clinked beer glasses together..
His investigation continued.
When I asked the people at the inn why they had visited Dmitry, I got a variety of answers..
“I heard a story about a man named Henderson who was a member of Dmitry. When he heard that he had started out as a farmer and was registered as a person of national merit, his heart boiled and he could not go to sleep. In Umberto, he served as a knight from a decent family, but what does that mean now??”
“I'm from Cairo. Actually, transferring from Cairo to Dmitry is a bit of a sensitive issue, but I couldn't shake the memory of following Roman Dmitry on the battlefield. He is God. He always leads the soldiers from the vanguard... … Great, if I could have someone like that, I wouldn't mind dying..”
“……I am a refugee from Odelia. Now that we have lost our country anyway, I want to dedicate myself to a country that is responsible for the well-being of its people..”
The bald man was from Hector..
People from all over the world gathered together..
Roman Dmitry's actions, the system that treats casualties, and the strong desire for swordsmanship..
They could not help but be drawn to Dmitry's recruitment of private soldiers..
Of course, there were many obstacles in the process of leaving my hometown, but even if I was not guaranteed to pass the exam, I had a strong desire to give it a try..
The bald man's gaze turned to the corner..
It was a man wearing a robe, but the sight of him eating alone caught my eye strangely..
“Hey, where are you from??”
Startle.
I stopped cutting the knife..
Robyn raised his head and spoke in a calm voice..
“I'm from Frankish. I don't want to participate in the conversation, so don't talk to me anymore..”
“A lie.”
With a stiff reaction.
The snake-eyed man smiled..
Although he was of Frankish origin, he wandered the continent and immediately recognized the Lovian accent..
“The Franks don't speak that way. From my experience, maybe... … Kronos. You're from the Kronos Empire, right??”
Moment.
The atmosphere was tense..
Kronos Empire.
Even if this were the case for all other countries, the origin of Kronos, the culprit of the continental war, was something they could not accept with pleasure..
* * *
“after.”
Robyn sighed deeply..
And then.
He put down the knife and looked at the people looking at him..
“you're right. From Kronos.”
“……At the very least, shouldn't people from the Kronos Empire respond to Dmitry's recruitment of private soldiers? Even so, since there are no separate restrictions. Why did you make this choice??”
Everyone was curious.
Kronos is an empire.
A person from the most powerful nation on the continent would take the test of following Roman Dmitry, who until recently was the leader of an enemy nation..
I couldn't understand it unless I was a spy..
Since everyone had a romantic interest in Roman Dmitry, they couldn't look kindly at the people of the Kronos Empire..
Robyn said.
“I understand your reaction as you come from a hostile country. But I am tired of the evil actions of the Kronos Empire. Even though they had agreed to cooperate, Kronos blew up the capital of Odelia and killed Baron Charlton, a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, due to issues with the negotiations. Do you know why? For bowing to Roman Dmitry's demands, Baron Charlton was forced to accept his death without any compensation for the time he had devoted to the Empire. Kronos is a scary country. As a father of at least one family, I decided that I could not raise my children in such a country..”
It was a more human story than I thought..
People's expressions changed and they looked surprised..
“The Kronos Empire is the greatest power on the continent. No one can deny this fact. However, when Dmitry sets aside 1 million gold as war compensation, the Kronos Empire says nothing even though it has more money than that. How futile is this? As someone who has done a lot for the Kronos Empire, I would like to pledge my loyalty to the person who will guarantee my future. And when I heard that Henderson had been registered as a person of national merit. I felt like I wanted to be tested by Dmitri, even if it meant taking the risk of crossing the empire's borders..”
crossing borders.
It was a dangerous moment.
He used his wealth to bribe the guards at the warp gate, and left the empire as if running away at night with only his family..
Robyn took a gulp of beer..
In the inn room, the wife and children were shaking in fear..
Kronos punishes traitors severely..
For fear of being discovered, Robinman moved outside and delivered the food directly to the inn room..
The bald man muttered.
“This is it. If people come from all over the Kronos Empire, it will be really difficult to pass the exam..”
his words.
Everyone agreed.
Robyn’s momentum was unusual..
If even such a strong person hoped to pass, the future competition was bound to be fierce..
they prayed.
Please, I hope there aren't many competitors..
They were determined to pass the test somehow, provided that competitors flocked to them based on common sense..
* * *
Dmitry's Boulevard.
Knight Commander Jonathan went on a special mission..
“Knight Commander. How many people do you think are applying for this exam??”
next to him.
The driver walking along asked.
Knight Commander Jonathan looked like he was thinking for a moment, then used his imagination to make his prediction..
“In the past, when Master Roman did not have the status he has today, quite a lot of people from nearby areas flocked to him. It was different then and now. Master Roman has become the successor to the Duchy of Dmitry, and although he has not competed in an official ranking match, he is likely to become the new number one ranking..”
Rattling, rattling.
I saw people pulling a cart next to me..
Commander Jonathan did not pay any particular attention to the pile of documents..
“Even within Dmitry, the ‘private soldiers’ who serve Master Roman are treated as exceptions. It is said that a large number of soldiers from the Principality of Dmitry will also take the test, so perhaps as many as 10,000 people will take the test..”
“……Ten thousand people. It's really amazing.”
Again.
A cart passed by.
As far as I remember, Knight Commander Jonathan, there was no such sight..
“The document submission period for this enlistment recruitment period is one week from now. My honest opinion is that thousands of people will probably flock in today, and it will gradually decrease, filling the entire week, with more than 10,000 people. So let’s hurry up. We have to help the people at the reception desk and make sure there are no problems with the documents..”
“All right.”
I hurried my steps.
their role.
It was to help verify documents..
It would be Hao Wen's job to determine the identity accurately later, and they planned to initially filter out people by checking the basic reasons for disqualification..
If there are people mixed in who fall outside the qualifications set by Roman Dmitry. They will be disqualified from participating without having to verify their identity..
Document submission took about an hour..
I thought there would be a reasonable amount of documents piled up, but when I arrived at the reception desk, it literally looked like a battlefield..
“move fast, move fast!”
“There are documents pouring out there.!”
“You crazy bastard! Come to your senses!”
People going crazy.
among them.
The man who appeared to be in charge looked back at Knight Commander Jonathan with a tearful face..
“……Commander Jonathan! Please, save us. In just one hour, there have already been over 10,000 applicants!”
In those words.
Knight Commander Jonathan's face was filled with astonishment..
Then I realized.
People carrying carts on the way to the reception area.
The pile of documents piled up in the cart were all application forms expressing intention to take the exam..
