The Heavenly Demon Can't Live Ordinarily - Episode 516
516Conquer Seoul (3)
The meeting has concluded.
When everyone left, Kim Jun-hyuk, who was left alone with Roman Dmitry, asked carefully..
“……Roman Dmitry. I thought that the choice to attack the special situation of a catastrophe was for practical benefit. If we resolve the situation quickly, even if it means violating international law, we will be able to minimize the damage to the Republic of Korea that will result from the rebellion. But why bother excluding local governments from the war against the central government? If we borrow their power, Incheon can easily win the war..”
Roman Dmitry's remarks.
It was an obvious contradiction.
While violating international law to overthrow the central government, which they defined as their enemy, they did not seek help from local governments to strengthen their war effort..
It was incoherent.
If you plan to end the war quickly at the risk of international law, you must mobilize local governments. Conversely, if you intend to exclude local governments, there is no reason to take the risk of international law from the beginning..
The plan for 'rebellion' was originally discovered in the process of recruiting the local government..
There is a situational advantage called the Great Disaster, but a surprise attack becomes impossible..
Kim Jun-hyuk trusted Roman Dmitry.
I would sacrifice my life for him, but if I cannot explain the contradiction, I will say it is wrong..
Before I was just a human.
He was the mayor of Incheon.
I couldn't just ignore the parts I didn't understand..
Roman Dmitry said.
“What kind of future do you think I want?”
“I'm not sure yet. If it were Roman Dmitry’s strength, there would have been many better options than Incheon..”
“As you said, Incheon did not have that special meaning to me. Even on the ruins where nothing existed, I could have created a new world. However, I made new connections in Incheon and set a goal to create a new world here. Junhyuk Kim. I want to rule this world. I will start from Incheon and branch out, and I will make the whole world look up to me beyond Korea. There are necessary conditions to create the future I envision..”
Cheonma.
Emperor Dmitry.
In two lives, both reigned supreme.
A new life would not be any different, and that is why Roman Dmitry pursued his own way..
“Blind faith is necessary for my followers to remain unwavering when dealing with the central government and even the world. Faith in the person I am. It was not a successful rebellion by rallying local governments, but a clear precedent that Incheon, I, Roman Dmitry, overwhelmingly swept away the central government and took over the Republic of Korea. That premise is important. It is natural to take advantage of the enemy's difficulties on the battlefield, but I hope that my achievements in this war will be a result that fully evaluates me..”
Kim Jun-hyuk’s eyes wavered..
It was always a series of shocks..
While experiencing a person named Roman Dmitry, I encountered a world that ordinary people like Kim Jun-hyuk could not understand..
What kind of life have we lived so that we can boldly speak of reign? What kind of being can you say without hesitation that you will take on the whole world?.
It may be impossible to fathom the existence of Roman Dmitry, who is so far away, but from what I have experienced so far, he is a person who will turn his words into reality..
believed.
It wasn't a contradiction, it was just an emergency..
Possessing overwhelming power, Roman Dmitry did not hesitate to go into areas that people would call extraordinary..
Roman Dmitry laughed..
I knew what people like Kim Jun-hyuk needed..
“do not worry. What I say will soon become reality.”
* * *
The first target was Hanam..
In the process of organizing the troops, Roman Dmitry accompanied Park Min-woo, the 100 Days' Wizards, and the direct battalion..
Park Min-woo uses teleportation magic..
100 days to follow Park Min-woo.
The direct government came together to prove that it was Incheon’s achievement..
In fact, it wasn't a problem to wipe out Hanam alone..
However, I realized that in order to rule this country as a foreigner, I needed merit that accompanied Incheon..
It was a cause.
A series of processes to establish a base in Incheon and overthrow the central government..
Just as Dmitry's eldest son rose to the position of emperor step by step, starting from Cairo, Roman Dmitry created a justification for people to mentally accept him..
In a legal form, not an invasion. With the support of Incheon, Roman Dmitry will be reborn as the new leader of the Republic of Korea..
A little distance from Hanam.
Roman Dmitry looked at the walls.
Seeing the people preparing for battle with somewhat tense faces, I told them about the future ahead of time..
“There is something you need to know before going to war. I don't consider my enemies human. When we encounter an enemy on the battlefield, we take it as a tacit agreement that we can take each other's lives. It is not a matter of appealing to human emotions. If I don't kill the enemy, I will die, and in fact, the central government did everything it could to destroy Incheon. They haven't actually killed each other, but the war has already begun..”
this operation.
This was another reason for not mobilizing local governments..
The new world was a little different from my previous lives..
The martial arts and Salamander continents were a world of survival of the fittest, and killing people was common..
In my past life, it was natural to kill people who were hostile to me. But the standards of the new world were ambiguous.
Even just 20 years ago, they still had the perception that they were members of modern society who viewed murder as a terrible thing, so they often set a moral standard for murder rather than their past lives..
red moon.
It was like that for them too..
They did something that deserved death, but people in today's world question whether it was justified or not..
people's perception.
Roman Dmitry didn't care.
The world had changed, and it had to be clearly shown to people like the central government that their atrocities would lead to death..
If only it were a peaceful world with no need for murder. Roman Dmitry may have been trying to adapt to a new world.
However, in this place where murders are common all over the world, there was no thought of showing mercy by citing perceptions from 20 years ago..
The central government abandoned the people..
Although it is an act of murder in itself, people in this world place special standards only on direct murder..
So we didn't bring in the local government..
Rebellion.
It's a fight between fellow citizens..
Roman Dmitry could not tolerate the mercy that lay in their hands..
“I will prove our way of dealing with the enemy through this war. Whether it is a central government or a major power representing the world. In the future, those who oppose us will need to be prepared to risk their lives. Those who think I am cruel can leave my side even during the war. But if you want to be with me…….”
drew the sword.
I walked towards the castle wall..
“From now on, just look behind me and follow me..”
* * *
On the walls of Hanam.
The guards looked around with keen eyes..
Since the apocalypse has not yet been completely resolved, we have not let down our guard against monsters that may appear at any time and from any place..
It was then.
One of the guards opened his eyes wide..
“Look over there!”
“uh?”
far away.
I saw people approaching.
If they were monsters, they would have prepared for battle right away, but the fact that they were humans made them unable to make a hasty decision..
Suddenly, an order from Hanam Mayor Jeong Mun-ho came to mind..
He said that he did not know when the rebels gathered around Incheon might attack, so if they attack, attack and kill them immediately..
however.
the number was too small.
Since the number was too embarrassing to react sensitively, the guard moved with a not-so-hurried expression..
“I'll start by reporting it first..”
“okay.”
that was a mistake.
The moment the lookout who was reporting checked his radio, the sky above his head distorted and something appeared..
sudden.
Powok!
head flew off.
The soldiers on the walls were astonished..
They had just heard from the guards that humans had appeared, and without even properly preparing for battle, they began to suffer a one-sided massacre..
There was no explanation, no warning..
The man who suddenly appeared mercilessly swept over the castle wall, killing hundreds of soldiers in an instant..
“Wow!”
“Don't stop it!”
Screams were heard from all directions..
The soldiers struggled.
They rushed in with anger as they saw their comrades dying, but the ending was no different whether they were ambushed or not, with their limbs torn apart..
Roman Dmitry did not take matters into his own hands..
Thanks to the teleportation magic, the advantage of the wall was completely lost, and while Roman Dmitry was massacring Hanam's soldiers, the troops, including the direct troops, also reached the wall..
“fly.”
they flew up.
Roman Dmitry ordered that only he be teleported away..
First, the road was opened, and only after some degree of safety had been secured did the troops, including the direct unit, arrive..
It was overwhelming.
Only about a hundred people.
Overwhelmed thousands of soldiers.
The blood of Roman Dmitry's feet spurted out like a fountain as he passed by, and the walls of the castle, which had been neatly repaired after blocking the monsters' attacks, were stained with blood..
It was a situation where I had no choice but to lose my will to fight..
At first, the soldiers who tried to fight began to run away, and some fell to their knees and begged for their lives..
“Please save me!”
“please!”
It was the irony of the battlefield.
people begging for their lives.
Didn't they know about this terrible situation??
I get it.
Jeong Mun-ho announced the rebellion, and Hanam prepared for war against the rebels..
In fact, they tried to kill Roman Dmitry as soon as they found him, but due to their lack of strength, they were left begging for their lives..
If it were the opposite situation. They would have shown no mercy to the rebels.
Ultimately, they were the underdogs, but they accepted Roman Dmitry as their enemy because they believed they would win..
this war.
We need to show the cost..
The choice to accept yourself as your enemy will never be resolved with foolish mercy..
as it is.
flash.
blew off the soldiers' heads.

Just now.
Jung Moon-ho enjoyed a half-body bath with a relaxed face..
It was a leisure that a person in power could enjoy in the midst of great chaos, and the news that came as a shock to him as he came out with such a clean face..
“We're in big trouble! The rebels have invaded! The walls have already been breached, and at this rate, it is only a matter of time before Hanam falls.!”
“This is crazy.”
I widened my eyes..
It's an attack!
I prepared for the rebels' attack in advance, but I had no idea that they would attack before the apocalypse had even ended..
Didn't international law strictly prohibit human fighting for a month after the cataclysm?.
Even the central government only planned to officially take issue with Incheon's rebellion and attack it, and had no intention of making a hasty move that would go to the extent of violating international law..
It was bold.
The opponent is an S-rank hunter..
As the soldier said, Hanam will fall in an instant..
Jeong Mun-ho hurriedly contacted the central government and sought their help by informing them of the situation in Hanam..
however.
[Sorry, I can't help you right now.]
“What does that mean? Now the rebels have attacked Hanam. If things continue like this, it is clear that Hanam will collapse. Are you saying that you are just going to watch Hanam's situation??”
[You know it well, don’t you? The principles of the Republic of Korea. Since Seoul has not yet completely secured its safety, no exceptions are allowed for excessive mobilization of troops regardless of what happens outside of Seoul. Just hang in there. We will send troops as soon as the safety of Seoul is secured..]
The person in charge reacted coldly.
Moment.
Jung Moon-ho remembered Cha Young-min’s words..
“Please keep in mind. Hanam is only the top priority among regions excluding Seoul. In the end, it has no choice but to be pushed out by Seoul, and one day, that fact will lead Hanam to destruction..”
My heart sank..
Henan believed in the central government and rejected the rebels' offer..
If the central government did not help, there was no way that Incheon's attack under Roman Dmitry could be prevented..
I felt dizzy. As Cha Young-min said, the fact that Hanam was the top priority was not that important..
The fact that he had no choice but to be a low priority based on Seoul messed up his mind..
[I will report Hanam’s affairs to the President. I'll stop now..]
Tuk.
communication was lost.
hope is gone.
It was then.
Kwaang!
The door was broken..
In a wide open space, Roman Dmitry appeared, covered in blood..
