4time ago.
At that time, the Marquis of Belfir was in the main square of Marin..
Pak-
threw a man away.
The man, whose face had already turned into a mess, was lying limp on the floor as if he had no strength to get up..
“People of Valhalla, look! This guy dared to rebel against His Majesty, the Emperor of Valhalla. In this country, treason is a serious crime that cannot be atone for even with one's life, and as a servant of His Majesty the Emperor of Valhalla, I have no intention of idly watching a situation like this..”
glance.
gave a signal.
Then the two knights waiting behind came out..
Shut up.
One knight grabbed the man's hair and pressed it to the ground, while the other knight held up a sharp dagger to show off to the people..
The blade of the dagger shone in the sun..
In a situation that gave off a cold feeling, the knight thrust the dagger into the man's body without a moment of hesitation, inflicting pain..
wiggle.
“……Shut up.”
A moan escaped me..
Even while he was unconscious, the man struggled to escape the pain, but his body, which had already lost its strength, could not escape the cruel hands..
It was a truly terrible scene..
Some people looked away, and children who came out to see the sight without knowing what to do were led by their parents and hurriedly left the place..
the situation in front of you.
Despite his cold face, the Marquis of Belfir was calming his pounding heart inside..
‘It's the right thing to do for me and for Valhalla..’
Emperor Valhalla.
After ordering the massacre of the common people, he ordered their remnants to be brought to the forefront to set a clear example..
He wanted to control the people through a reign of terror.
The Marquis Belfir did not know how cruel that was to a human being, but he did not show any sign of refusing the order..
already.
He climbed on the back of a wild beast.
The Emperor of Valhalla knew that maintaining power was the only way for him to live, so he had no choice but to follow this incident even though he could not truly sympathize with it..
This is what politics is like anyway.
A world where people must give up their ways. The Marquis de Belfir also did not live a very clean life, so he watched her being tortured with his eyes wide open..
Rumbling.
blood flowed.
The floor of the square was richly colored, and the body that had been trembling ceased to move at some point..
Marquis Belfir said:.
“next.”
behind him.
There were many examples.
Those believed to have participated in the rebels were dragged out one by one, screaming under terrible torture..
People gathered in the square could not leave their seats..
Due to the soldiers forcing them to look at the reality in front of them, parents who tried to escape with their children were unable to leave, so they blocked the children's eyes and ears..
Has 30 minutes passed?.
When corpses were piled up on one side of the square, an imperial knight suddenly came running in a huff..
“Marquis Belfir! This is an order to return to the imperial palace.!”
“comeback? There's still a lot of work to be done, what's going on??”
He looked puzzled..
I am carrying out work under the Emperor's orders, so what is it that calls me in such a hurry?.
The knight said with a pale face..
“Roman Dmitry. What kind of trick did he pull? Terrorism is occurring simultaneously throughout Valhalla.!”
* * *
Valhalla East.
cairn.
In a somewhat peaceful place, unlike the rapidly changing situation, a group of people were moving around busily..
“1Group 2 takes the right side and Group 2 takes the left side..”
“yes.”
Eight people.
Men with ordinary faces commonly found on the streets were torn in two at the sight of the target seen from afar..
The target was a weapons warehouse..
It is a place to store basic weapons and other supplies needed for war, and as always, there were several soldiers guarding the area in front of the weapons warehouse..
puck.
“Ugh.”
It took an instant to subdue them..
I approached the opponent aiming for his blind spot, and before he could react, I stabbed him in a vital spot or twisted his neck..
It was a quick and sure move..
Some of the men quickly changed into soldiers' uniforms, and some went inside and planted magic bombs..
With that, all preparations are complete. Far away from the weapons depot, they activated the magic bomb..
Kwaang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.!
Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
It was a huge explosion.
The weapons warehouse exploded at once, completely engulfing the warehouse in hot flames..
It was a moment when Cairn’s peaceful afternoon went awry..
In a sudden situation, an emergency bell rang and soldiers rushed in, and they quickly assessed the situation by looking at the weapons warehouse burning brightly..
at that time.
Some of the people who exploded the weapons warehouse shouted proudly at the people gathered around them..
“You bastards of Valhalla! Even if you kill innocent people, we will not fall like this.!”
“We must not all forget the atrocities of Valhalla! The citizens of Marin spoke out for Valhalla independently of Duke Vieto, but the Imperial Court of Valhalla ordered their massacre. Many people died in Marin. And we never know when we might fall victim to the madness of the Emperor Valhalla. Don't back down! Don't ignore reality! We must solve Valhalla's problems!”
It was an embarrassing situation..
The citizens of Cairn saw a burning scene, a poster announcing the true state of Valhalla, and people shouting loudly..
At that time, the massacre that occurred in Marin was not well known..
Just before Cairn's soldiers stopped the terrorists, the camouflaged soldiers shouted..
“chase!”
“at there!”
It was a well-written play..
Even though we're in the same group, it's as if we're not.
Cairn's soldiers caught up late, but those who committed the incident took advantage of the chaotic situation and disappeared..
all of them.
He was a member of Haomun..
He was also a special agent who had learned martial arts, and people spread throughout Valhalla carried out the operation according to the orders given by Roman Dmitry..
It wasn't something planned and executed in just a few days..
Although the execution of the operation was sudden, they had prepared and trained for numerous scenarios like today..
and.
Terrorism like this took place throughout Valhalla..
What started out as just one or two times grew into dozens, and in an instant, the entire Valhalla fell into chaos..
* * *
that time.
Chris arrived at his destination.
As he prepared for the upcoming operation, he recalled his conversation with Roman Dmitry..
“We will go ahead with our plan. Now that the warp gate has been destroyed, proceed with the next best option prepared in advance..”
Next best option).
As one of several strategies prepared in response to Valhalla, Chris immediately understood what Roman Dmitry was talking about..
In Chris's opinion, it was a very reckless operation..
Especially in the case of terrorism, which is the basis of the operation, it might be revealed that Roman Dmitry was the culprit of the terrorism after provoking the people of Valhalla..
So I asked.
“The Emperor of Valhalla lost popular support. In a situation like this, if it is revealed that we are inciting chaos, our enemies may try to control the internal chaos by appointing an external enemy named Dmitry..”
“no. That doesn't happen..”
was adamant.
Actually the truth doesn't matter.
No matter how the Emperor of Valhalla responded, from the moment he ordered the massacre, he crossed an irreversible river..
“With the Emperor of Valhalla massacring the common people, we have someone to blame. If we terrorize each territory in Valhalla as planned in advance and reveal the truth about what happened in the capital to the people of Valhalla, how will the people of Valhalla react? They won't question who did this. Obviously, when you observe the organized movement from a few steps away, you can see that there is intention, but what is important to people now is the actions of the Emperor of Valhalla. We will use their hearts. The moment people's dissatisfaction is expressed externally and put into action, the rebellion that took place in Marin will not be limited there but will spread throughout Valhalla..”
It caught on with the public sentiment..
It was different from the incident in Marin..
In the capital, the Emperor of Valhalla's soldiers immediately brought the situation under control, but the flames of rebellion spreading throughout Valhalla's vast landmass were a different story..
Currently, the troops brought in to suppress Hernad's rebel army did not consist only of the emperor's army..
Among them were the nobles of Valhalla who joined with their troops, and they will be thrown into confusion when their territory is attacked..
Chris added.
“……Operations that take advantage of public sentiment are good. But many people will die for our benefit.”
It was a feeling of guilt as a human being..
Dmitri will instigate Valhalla for Dmitry's benefit, and the people of Valhalla, caught up in political problems, will cry out for patriotism and die like that..
It was truly a cruel reality. In fact, the common people of Valhalla did nothing wrong..
Just because Dmitri and Valhalla have an antagonistic relationship, they are forced into a harsh reality..
If the operation is carried out as planned.
I can say without a doubt that due to the Emperor of Valhalla's tendencies, many people will not be able to survive..
at that time.
Roman Dmitry said.
“chris. Don't forget that Valhalla is a foreign country. We will do whatever it takes to achieve our victory. And there is no need to feel guilty in the process. Just as soldiers with whom they have no enmity are cut down just because they are on opposite sides of the battlefield, those with the nationality of Valhalla are not irrelevant in this situation. All that matters to us is the future for Dmitry..”
Moment.
I got goosebumps.
I realized it again.
Roman Dmitry is praised by people for his kindness to them, but his fundamental nature has always been coldly cruel..
Aside from the fact that he made some kind of deal with Hernad's rebels. Dmitry chose the maximum benefit he could pursue..
Roman Dmitry chose to do something risky that some people might understand but dare not put into practice, simply because it was in his best interest..
Such a being.
It was the lord he served..
Even though his heart was chilled by the cruelty, Chris felt relieved to have someone like this in his care..
‘If the country is led by someone who at least puts its citizens first, we have no reason not to sacrifice our lives..’
It's a simple problem.
The Emperor of Valhalla killed his own people.
In contrast, Roman Dmitry pushed other countries into the abyss of despair for the sake of his people..
There was nothing to worry about.
Chris was tested every time he stayed by Roman Dmitry's side, but the reason he stayed until the end was because he knew that his future with Roman Dmitry would be happy, even if it was selfish..
This time was no different.
The operation ahead is risky, but Dmitry has no intention of backing down from the game that has already begun..
chuck.
I picked up a sword.
Behind him, Allied soldiers lined up..
“Operation begins now.”
“yes.”
far away.
Where Chris's vision reached, Valhalla's largest granary area caught people's attention..
* * *
Incidents occurred one after another.
The leaders convened at the Imperial Palace of Valhalla were unable to come to their senses due to the reports coming from all over Valhalla..
“Terror is taking place throughout Valhalla! It seems that Roman Dmitry has pulled some kind of trick. He chose only a weapons warehouse and detonated a magic bomb, and brought the massacre in Marin to the forefront to provoke the anger of the people of Valhalla. At this rate, it is only a matter of time before the flames of rebellion spread..”
“The troops must be withdrawn. Only then can we mobilize soldiers to suppress the anger of the people..”
That wasn't all.
Another news.
Upon hearing that Dmitry's army was setting fire to the granary, Valhalla's leaders stamped their feet..
“Shouldn’t this be stopped??”
“If you burn down all of the granaries, the damage to Valhalla will be severe..”
Valhalla.
Since the roots of the empire lie in the southern jungle, Valhalla's territory, unlike other countries, did not have much land for farming..
So the northern granary was the core of Valhalla..
The food produced there provided much of the food, but Dmitry's army turned and attacked the granary area..
It was within the expected range.
but.
Because the breadbasket was far from other warp points, it was a choice to completely abandon Hernad's rebel army, so the Valhalla Empire thought that Dmitry would receive 20,000 troops..
However, contrary to expectations, they went deeper and attacked the granary area..
If the breadbasket were to be engulfed in flames like this, Valhalla might have to bear the damage for a long time, not just for a month or two..
chicken game.
Stubbornness held me back.
If the troops had been concentrated in the north, the breadbasket would have been protected, but with the small number of troops, there was no way to stop the intentions of Dmitry's allied forces..
However, it was also difficult to withdraw troops..
If troops were brought in now, there was a high probability that both the northern and Hernad rebels would lose two rabbits..
Marquis Belfir said:.
“We can no longer stand by and watch Dmitry's actions. We need to bring back some of the troops that went to Hernad. Since Hernard is already on the verge of being occupied, there will be no problem in sorting out the situation even if only half of the troops remain..”
raised my voice.
head of the table.
There was an emperor in Valhalla.
In a series of situations, the Valhalla Emperor showed a strange expression..
It was then.
The imperial knight conveyed one fact..
“……A request for magical communication has arrived from Roman Dmitry..”
just a few days ago.
Unlike when communication was cut off unilaterally, silence fell in the conference room for a moment at the name of Roman Dmitry..
