It was a shocking statement.
Representatives from each country looked shocked and couldn't believe their ears..
“……What do you mean by that?.”
“They say they will attack the demon world first. That's impossible.”
this time.
Even Roman Dmitry could not agree..
The Demon World is a world where demons live..
Whenever they used dark magic and exerted influence on the earthly world, a great catastrophe occurred..
It was an area that humans could not dare to handle..
The demon world was recognized by people as fear itself, with the dark magic of reviving the dead and using humans like Alexandre as its minions..
history has proven.
What kind of existence is the Demon World?.
King Umberto spoke with a serious expression on the continent's history stained with blood and death..
“This time I cannot agree with His Majesty the Emperor. The being who rules the demon world has reached the realm of gods. Its existence cannot be evaluated by human standards, and a monster like Alexander can be created at any time with a single breath of his breath. And according to what is recorded in the history of the continent, it is recorded that beings from the demon world cannot fully demonstrate their original power when they descend to the earthly world. This means that you can only deal with their limited power by fending off their attacks, but entering their territory and fighting them is tantamount to suicide. Please, please take away that meaning..”
“Please take back your will.”
everyone agreed.
Roman Dmitry is a symbol of blind trust, but the fear imprinted by the word Demon World surpasses faith..
King Umberto's words.
I didn't know.
The Demon World was thoroughly investigated, and that is why Roman Dmitry did not go against his will..
“I am also not unaware of your concerns. Going directly to the Demon World and waging war against them means risking giving up the environment we are familiar with. I read Alexander's memories from the last war. Although we didn't find out much in the process, we were able to confirm what they wanted to achieve through Alexandre. It was a perfect fairy tale between the earthly world and the demonic world. If that happens. The demons of the demon world can perfectly express their power even here on earth..”
“……is that true?”
“Yes.”
“this.”
Sighs erupted from all directions..
fairy tale with the devil.
It was despairing news.
If the demons who caused the apocalypse even when using only a portion of their power were to unleash their original power, something truly terrible would happen..
Representatives from each country had dry mouths..
I thought I had passed a critical juncture by defeating Alexander, but beyond that, a despair I could not even dare to imagine remained..
Roman Dmitry said.
“As mentioned in Alexandre's memory and oracle, the demons of the underworld will invade this world at any time. Even if we are fully prepared, we cannot perfectly respond to the risk. Since it is the beings of the demon world who are leading this situation, we will spend our days in superficial peace and our insides will burn black. I cannot tolerate such a reality. If it is a disaster that must be dealt with anyway, we must first secure the initiative and eradicate the seeds of anxiety. Why do you think we can't attack first? Rather than fighting our enemies by ravaging our lands, I would like to attack their territory and clearly show them the price of targeting the lands ruled by this Roman Dmitry..”
The voice got louder..
The representatives of each country felt suffocated by the ever-increasing presence of Roman Dmitry..
The emperor of the empire.
He was a giant.
I knew that fact, but I looked at Roman Dmitry again because his presence was bigger than I thought..
The opponent is the demon world.
Never once in the history of the continent had the idea of attacking them first come up, but Roman Dmitry declared his intention in a firm voice..
If you think about it now, Roman Dmitry was a pioneer..
The invention of new auras, the magic revolution, from the heir of a baron to the emperor of an empire..
To him, who achieved absurd things as if it were natural, the standards of past history were meaningless..
“My people are in fear. Rather than forcing them to wait indefinitely, I will take the initiative to resolve this situation. We will not only be relieved that we have slaughtered all the demons of the world of evil and prevented their attacks, but we will also ensure that something like this will never happen again in the first place..”
That means.
Proved the existence of Roman Dmitry.
If there was someone who threatened his fence, it was Roman Dmitry who would eradicate the opponent from the roots..
There was silence..
King Umberto, with a confused expression, asked cautiously in a strained voice..
“……How do you plan to deal with the being that rules the demon world? If we cannot defeat him, this decision will hasten the destruction of humanity..”
It was an important issue.
If you get an unclear answer, you will understand what Roman Dmitry means, but you will not agree with the decision..
however.
The answer that came back once again shocked people..
“Trust me. I will defeat the leader of the demon world. Even when I dealt with Alexander and in all the wars I have fought so far. I have never increased my power even once. The history of the continent describes the leader of the Demon World as something that humanity cannot handle, but I can handle it..”
* * *
the meeting was interrupted.
Representatives from each country were given a full day to think, rather than making decisions right away..
From the beginning, I planned to do this for two days..
The war against the demon world could not be carried out by Roman Dmitry alone, and it had to be accompanied by active support from the entire continent..
The opponent is the Demon World. If humanity were not unified, the game itself would not be established..
outside the building.
King Umberto walked into the garden and looked at the sky with a complicated expression..
“……I am. Through my experience of this war, I thought I learned a lot about His Majesty the Emperor. But while dealing with Alexandre, he never once gave his all. What on earth is His Majesty the Emperor?.”
this meeting.
It was a series of shocks..
The boldness of accepting a confrontation, the declaration of war against the demon world, and even the shocking truth that he did not reveal his full strength..
My mind became complicated.
King Umberto, who once led the Drake family, was evaluated as a special being that ordinary people could not understand..
When everyone is trying to join the Kronos Empire.
To see him fighting against enemies until the end and protecting Umberto's borders, people responded that they did not understand him in the same way as he does now..
Roman Dmitry.
When I faced him, it felt like I had stepped into unknown territory..
“Same goes for me. We can't say for sure what he is like, but something is certain..”
It was Edwin Hector..
Hector's actual leader.
He, who was set to inherit the king's position in the near future, stood next to King Umberto and spoke..
“It's just that we didn't dare to dare because we were afraid of the existence of the demon world, but His Majesty's words were not wrong at all. The art of war always tells us to lead the battlefield. If we truly want to eradicate the danger of the demon world, it is right to take the initiative to secure the timing of war rather than being anxious about when the enemy will attack..”
“Then, if you lose, it's all over. There is a saying that attack is the best defense, but this is a saying that carries risks..”
“Yes, I agree with that..”
at last.
There was no right answer.
At the crossroads of choice, each with their own pros and cons, Edwin Hector recalled the past..
“What I believe is the history of His Majesty the Emperor. On the southern front, in the civil war in Cairo, and in the war with Kronos. His Majesty the Emperor has won a war that everyone thought was impossible, with a landslide victory. Although the Demon World is powerful, the Kronos Empire is also an entity that was considered impossible a few years ago..”
during a meeting.
Edwin Hector was the only one who remained silent..
He, who had remained silent, looked at King Umberto and expressed his true feelings..
“Now that we have made the impossible a reality, is there any reason not to trust and follow His Majesty the Emperor??”
* * *
next day.
The atmosphere of the meeting changed..
Representatives from each country, whose opinions were mostly negative, expressed their intention to agree after much consideration..
Even if it's unreasonable.
They believed in the very existence of Roman Dmitry.
“What do you plan to do in the future??”
eyes were focused.
Now that we have come together, we need to figure out how to move forward together from now on..
When Roman Dmitry gave a signal to Lucas, he took a step forward and announced the plan he had prepared in advance..
“During the Odelia riots, the rioters showed strange signs. After securing Carman, who seemed to be tainted by dark magic, we performed mental torture on him, and in the process, we discovered that the passage to the Demon World may be in Odelia's territory. And in this regard, there is also a connection with Isabel. Isabel, Queen of Luna, has been missing since she said she would stop Alexandre's plans, and the last place she was found was the Kingdom of Umberto. And as a result of estimating her expected route, it was concluded that she may have headed to Odelia via Umberto..”
“……What is Odelia?.”
“So do you really mean that there is a passage to the demon world in Odelia?.”
“It cannot be determined with certainty. However, there is a prevailing opinion within the Dmitri Intelligence Guild that Alexander's destruction of the capital of Odelia was not a coincidence. For that reason, we are currently united with the priests of Luna and conducting a search to find as much dark magic as possible, focusing on Odelia..”
It was a valid argument..
recent.
As Arcadia regained its original climate, Luna's priests also showed signs of strengthening their divine power..
I thought that if I connected with them, even if it took some time, I would be able to find the passage to the demon world..
Roman Dmitry said.
“Finding the passage to the demon world requires sufficient time. In the meantime, focus on repairing the damage caused by the aftermath of the war and preparing for the war against the demon world. There is absolutely no need to rush. As long as we are aware of the presence of our enemies, we will not be defeated by the dangers that come upon our continent..”
“All right.”
“This concludes the meeting. One month from now. A competition will be held to re-establish rankings in the Dmitry Empire. In each country, it is recommended that the people who will attend that time be selected in advance..”
“I obey orders.”
With those words at the end.
The meeting has concluded.
The representatives from each country parted ways with smiles on their faces, but as soon as they returned to their respective countries, they all gave the same order..
Order to select prosecutors to attend the convention!
This competition is the first event to be held since the birth of the Dmitry Empire..
They instinctively knew that this was a position that would have a significant impact on the future landscape..
* * *
The world was in an uproar..
War with the Demon World, Dmitry Sword Competition, etc..
At a time when people were going crazy over various issues, there was a separate issue that Dmitry's people focused on the most..
Rodwell Dmitry.
He chose to go to Arcadia..
No one forced the issue.
However, after the war ended, Rodwell Dmitry thought about it on his own and decided to leave for Arcadia..
‘Dmitry will have to overcome many hardships in the future. In order to rule the Salamander Continent and prepare for the war against the Demon World, he cannot rely solely on his brother's personal military power like in previous wars. Before that, he must build a stronger force. And the solution that can be presented to Dmitry now is to completely transform the unknown land of Arcadia into imperial territory..’
Arcadia.
unknown land.
It was overflowing with infinite possibilities..
I was confident that the existence of different races with special abilities, undeveloped lands, and a world tree that bestows blessings on the surroundings would become the foundation of the Dmitry Empire..
Roman Dmitry decided to remain in Dmitry.
Then, someone had to take the lead in stabilizing Arcadia, and I felt that I, a blood relative of the Dmitry family, was the right person..
Things so far.
Rodwell Dmitry found his role.
Even though I laid down the heavy burden as the head of the family, I had no intention of living a life unrelated to the family..
Roman Dmitry.
He said he believed in himself..
He wanted to live up to those expectations..
It was while I was packing up my luggage..
As he was preparing to go to Arcadia, his mother, Rihanna Dmitri, came to visit him..
“Rodwell. Do I really have to leave??”
“……I'm sorry, mother. I decided it was necessary for my family and myself..”
“Both you and Roman are the same in not listening to this mother. When asked to take a companion now that he has ascended to the position of emperor, Roman said that he would consider it after ending the war against the demon world. It's not something you can't understand. If we lose the war against the demon world, humanity will cease to exist..”
The Emperor's Companion.
It was people's interest.
The emperor always appoints an empress, but Roman Dmitry postponed that choice due to a special situation..
Moment.
Rodwell Dmitry had a strange feeling..
As soon as it occurred to him that his mother's comments had nothing to do with him, his anxiety became real..
“But even you, the second child, cannot be sent to an unknown land alone. Rodwell. If you want to break this mother's will and leave for Arcadia, get a companion who can take care of you on my behalf. This is not a request. If you truly care about your mother’s feelings, do not turn a blind eye to my will this time..”
It was an embarrassing situation..
Before she could answer, Rihanna Dmitry smiled..
“There is no need to worry about your marriage partner. If you announce your intention to marry, all the women from noble families will want you..”
It was as she expected..
next day.
When the issue of Rodwell Dmitry's marriage surfaced, the entire continent began to stir..
