that time.
Roman Dmitry, who returned to Dmitri, met Sánchez as Count Bragan expected..
“I heard it through rumors. He is said to have joined the Duke of Vieto's faction and is leading a rebellion..”
“yes. Thanks to Roman Dmitry for his advice. In order to fight against the atrocities of the Emperor of Valhalla, I needed the help of a great person like Duke Vieto, and he gladly accepted my offer..”
“So the business that came to me was?”
Sanchez laughed..
It was the same now as it was in the past.
Even back then, Roman Dmitry was a man with clear lines..
Even though Valhalla was openly threatening, he did not ask for help, and instead advised him to go to Duke Vieto..
As a result, Sanchez's future changed significantly..
As a disciple of Morales, he only pursued strength, but now he realizes the importance of politics and follows Vieto into the core of the rebel force..
blast furnace.
The meeting with Roman Dmitry was important.
Even if there was a past relationship, the other person was not the type of person to give unpaid favors..
Sanchez said.
“……First, let me briefly explain the situation in Valhalla. Currently, the Valhalla Empire is divided into the forces of Emperor Valhalla and the rebel forces that follow Duke Vieto. What our rebels seek is to restore the roots of Valhalla. As you know, Valhalla was originally a nation of warriors who competed purely for strength, and they were able to gain the support of the people by criticizing the actions of the Emperor Valhalla, which tarnished its meaning. The problem is that that alone is not enough to defeat the Emperor of Valhalla..”
rebels.
They spread out and raised their voices..
I was confident of victory as I looked at the cheering people, but the reality that unfolded before my eyes was hopeless..
The emperor's soldiers stormed in..
All those who joined the rebel army were massacred, and those who had just been crying out for the foundation of Valhalla fell to the ground with faces filled with fear..
There was nothing to do..
Everyone knows that the rebels' cause is excellent, but the reason for their silence so far has been the imperial family's overwhelming force..
massacre.
They all died.
They are a rebel force, but so far they have been unilaterally submitting to the emperor's power..
“Right now, we don't stand a chance. The top rankers in Valhalla have been following the Emperor since the days when he was not mentioned as a successor, and the Valhalla military shows blind loyalty to the Emperor. Let me tell you straight. I need Dmitri's help. Since the rebels alone will never be able to defeat the Emperor, we desperately need a solution to fill the gap..”
today.
The powers that be in Valhalla paid attention to Roman Dmitry..
Even though he was not from Valhalla, his actions and recognition within Valhalla were overwhelming..
“The people of Valhalla describe Roman Dmitri as a true warrior. Even though he knew that Kronos and Valhalla, the two major mountain ranges on the continent, were threatening his life, he participated in the festival of Valhalla, defeated Barbossa in one go, and returned to Dmitri, which is still talked about by people. I am confident that Roman Dmitry's joining the rebels will not only increase his power, but will have a tremendous effect in terms of symbolism alone. If you help us take down the Emperor of Valhalla. Valhalla is an ally of Dmitri and will not spare any support..”
It was a kill, two wins..
In addition to securing symbolism,.
It was a deal to obtain a powerful being called Roman Dmitri, who could slaughter the top rankers in Valhalla..
I had to make it happen no matter what..
Sanchez uttered each word with earnest heart..
however.
“I cannot accept the offer if it involves direct participation in the rebellion in Valhalla..”
Answer without any hesitation.
Roman Dmitry looked at the embarrassed Sanchez and said firmly:.
“What exactly means is that I cannot be the solution to Valhalla..”
* * *
It was a perplexing answer..
I wasn't sure that he would help me unconditionally, but I didn't expect him to refuse so sharply..
think about it.
The Valhalla Emperor had a bad relationship with Roman Dmitry..
He invited Roman Dmitri to the Valhalla festival with the intention of killing him, and when Barbossa was defeated, he ignored the attack of the Kronos Empire..
At that moment the relationship was resolved.
Roman Dmitry, who has proven how to deal with hostile forces through his actions so far, will definitely not miss the opportunity to take revenge on the Emperor of Valhalla..
furthermore.
Recently, Valhalla showed signs of being in cahoots with Kronos..
It was a simple problem.
Since Kronos had a hostile relationship with Dmitry, it was necessary to eliminate the Valhalla Emperor who had the possibility of allying with Kronos..
The alliance with the rebels is completely beneficial to Roman Dmitry..
If the danger called Valhalla was secured by an ally, there could not have been a more ideal outcome..
What was questionable was Roman Dmitry’s nuance..
Rather than a complete rejection, it left room for question..
Sanchez asked..
“Can I ask what you mean??”
“It's exactly as I just heard. If I join the civil war in Valhalla and lead the rebellion, your cause will inevitably lose its power. Valhalla is a country of pure bloodism. No matter how good of a reputation I have in Valhalla, the moment a non-Valhalla person points a sword at the Emperor of Valhalla, the people will turn away. I will ask you. If the rebels lose the support of the people, do you think you have a chance of winning?.”
“……doesn't exist.”
“okay. Therefore, bringing down the emperor from his position must be done only with the power of Valhalla..”
It was a complicated situation.
What the people of Valhalla want is not simply a change of power, but to find the root of Valhalla..
However, if an outsider leads the process,.
There's nothing funnier than that.
As a rebel force that was overwhelmingly outgunned, there was virtually no chance of victory if it lost the support of the people..
Sanchez is faced with a dilemma..
I would have to somehow get Roman Dmitry's help to make up for the power gap, but after being pointed out a realistic problem, the future looked bleak..
water spilled.
If I step back from here.
It was clear that the Emperor of Valhalla would execute everyone who participated in the rebellion, leaving no one behind..
suddenly.
The word direct came to mind..
Doesn't the fact that you can't help directly mean that you can help indirectly?.
It was then.
Roman Dmitry said.
“But it is possible to help indirectly. It's a matter of Dmitry and Valhalla that has nothing to do with you. Not in a way that elevates you, but in a way that puts others down. In order to complete this deal, I will also have to accept a certain amount of compensation. The conditions I wish for are simple..”
“……what is that?”
laughed.
Roman Dmitry had an answer in mind from the moment he met Sánchez, who he had no choice but to accept as an opponent..
“A temporary alliance that will remain in effect until Kronos is defeated. I hope that Valhalla will not become an obstacle to my future..”
* * *
The same words had different meanings depending on the nuance..
sanchez.
Roman Dmitry.
What they presented was the same.
Both spoke of overthrowing the Emperor of Valhalla and forming a union between Dmitry and Valhalla, but if what Sánchez wanted was coexistence, Roman Dmitry asked for a temporary understanding..
Once we achieve our goals, we can turn back at any time..
A relationship that cannot be said to be a perfect ally..
Sanchez thought for a while..
He knew that there might be hostility in the future, but he had no other choice..
“I will accept Dmitry's offer..”
like that.
Sanchez left..
It was decided to proceed according to Roman Dmitry's plan, and Dmitry joined hands with the rebels, albeit temporarily..
space left alone.
Roman Dmitry drank tea and thought about the future..
“Alexander. You want me to join the civil war.”
Scene seen through the World Tree.
Alexander is leading the civil war in Valhalla, and will no doubt be hoping that Roman Dmitry will also be drawn into the rebellion..
It was an ideal scenario for Kronos..
As the Emperor of Valhalla and the rebels fight each other, Valhalla's power will be eroded, and Roman Dmitry will also suffer a blow at the same time..
I didn't worry.
Taking a step back and conserving strength was one way, but that was far from the direction he had in mind..
‘i will not avoid.’
onlooking.
Staying afloat doesn't solve the problem.
If the Emperor of Valhalla suppresses the rebellion, then we have to worry about the worst-case scenario of Kronos and Valhalla uniting..
Roman Dmitry did not leave his future to heaven.
I will lead the civil war in Valhalla from the beginning, and I will achieve the desired outcome even if it means making sacrifices..
For that reason.
Sánchez was offered a temporary alliance..
Roman Dmitry accepted the union of kingdoms.
Luna, Cairo, and Hector said they would become subjects, but other countries still had a strong sense of union..
But no clear line was drawn against them..
Countries accustomed to being ruled by a strong person from the beginning would naturally accept Dmitri, but the Valhalla Empire had different prerequisites..
they are predators.
Beings who do not know how to surrender.
Even if Kronos falls, Valhalla can exist as Dmitry and the two great mountains as before, but it will not accept bowing its head as a country of subjects..
So I drew a line. It was clearly stated that this was a temporary union..
Although he will participate in the rebellion and undermine Valhalla's power and prepare for war with Kronos, Roman Dmitry does not hide the fact that his desired goal is beyond that..
That was why Sanchez was embarrassed..
The enormous ambition left him speechless for a while, but it was an offer he couldn't refuse from the beginning..
took control of the situation.
Kronos, who instigates war.
Valhalla for help.
Everyone hoped to get Dmitry involved, but in the end Roman Dmitry did his bidding..
widely.
I put down the teacup.
“hans.”
“Yes, did you call me?.”
There was a lot of work to do from now on..
* * *
that evening.
Wandering around the guest room, Count Bragan chewed his fingernails..
“……Are you saying you won’t meet me at all?.”
Sanchez leaves..
I asked to meet right away..
I thought he would meet me now, but the servant serving Roman Dmitry firmly said no..
“The master is currently handling personal business. Please wait in the guest room and we will contact you as soon as we have time..”
As I waited, the day became dark..
I got annoyed.
I am not unaware of the fact that the Emperor of Valhalla harbors ill feelings towards him, but it was still not the right response to make Valhalla's guests wait..
If Kronos and Valhalla join hands.
No matter how strong Roman Dmitry is, there is no way he can handle two empires..
Regardless of personal feelings, it is not a matter for a decision-maker in charge of a country to respond emotionally like this..
I endured it for now.
If you rush it, you might end up doing something wrong..
Count Bragan suppressed his boiling anger and waited for Roman Dmitri to find him..
day.
Two days.
On the third day, when the sun rose, Count Bragan exploded..
“Damn you Dmitry. How long are you going to wait? Billy!”
“yes.”
Billy was an escort driver..
When I saw him coming inside, I spoke in a nervous voice..
“It's okay if we don't meet right away, so do whatever you can to set an appointment date. We are not people who deserve to be treated like this. If you show that fact, Roman Dmitry will no longer be able to put off meeting you..”
“All right.”
Negotiation is not about bowing down unconditionally..
If it continues like this.
Even if you sit at the negotiating table, you will inevitably lose the initiative, so you need to reveal your position..
Representative of Valhalla.
It is not a position to be ignored..
Carrying the Emperor of Valhalla on my back was worth it..
dump.
sat on the sofa.
From now on it was time to wait..
Thinking that good news would arrive now, Count Bragan calmed down a bit and enjoyed the scent of tea..
But 30 minutes later.
Squeak.
“……ship, count.”
Billy came in.
His face, which had been triumphant when he received the order, suddenly became unrecognizable..
“What's happening?!”
I jumped up from my seat..
What on earth happened in the last 30 minutes?.
Billy said in a voice tinged with fear..
“……Kevin. Dmitry's demon made me like this.”
