The Heavenly Demon Can't Live Ordinarily - Episode 517
517Conquer Seoul (4)
Drop, drop.
Drops of blood fell from the sword..
Hanam Mayor Jeong Moon-ho could not have predicted how many people would have died from that sword..
“Are you the mayor of Hanam?.”
Moment.
My heart sank..
Roman Dmitry asked, throwing back his blood-stained head, and the cold voice that chilled the heart predicted death..
From then on, my body was shaking like crazy..
When Cha Young-min mentioned the rebellion, he thought it was nonsense, but when he met Roman Dmitry, he overwhelmed him with his enormous presence..
‘If this continues, I will die..’
I knew it instinctively.
Hanam is over.
With the central government refusing to help, the only way to survive was to appeal to human emotions..
dump.
“Ha, I surrender.!”
knelt down.
I bowed my head and shouted loudly..
“I made a stupid mistake. Actually, I also wanted to join the rebellion. Who would be truly loyal to a central government that has no interest in the well-being of local governments at all times? It was a choice I had no choice but to make. Hanam and Seoul are very close. They say fists are scarier than the law, and the blade of the central government is right under my chin. How can I reject them?.”
I sincerely regretted it..
If he had known that the central government would abandon Hanam so easily, he would have listened to Cha Young-min's story a little more..
“Ha, just give me one chance. Please consider the choices of the powerless and the weak. If you give me a chance. I'll pretend like I survived the war and contact the central government and tell them all about what their plans are.!”
longed for life.
Beyond Roman Dmitry.
I saw corpses.
There must have been hundreds of troops by the time they reached the office, but in the space that could be seen at first glance, the living things were cooling down..
Roman Dmitry had no choice but to show mercy..
Jeong Moon-ho was more desperate than ever, and looked up at Roman Dmitry while kneeling..
I was used to it.
Roman Dmitry's lips twisted at the desperation of the losers..
“Didn't we all know the truth? The central government is a group that survives by sucking the blood of the entire Republic of Korea. That's why I didn't bother to persuade you. The things I showed in Incheon, the clear results of dealing with S-rank monsters and monster waves. If you and others had not been fooled by the mediocre benefits provided by the central government, you and others would have known that I could change the landscape of the Republic of Korea. In fact, cities such as Seongnam and Gwacheon, which are in a similar situation to Hanam, have expressed their intention to go along with my wishes even at the risk. It's your choice. Even though you knew there was something wrong with this country, you ignored reality because you thought it was better than other people..”
Zech.
I picked up a sword.
Jeong Moon-ho trembled..
His shaking mouth repeatedly begged for help, but Roman Dmitry did not listen to him..
“The central government showed malicious intent against Incheon simply because it failed to recruit me, and Busan followed me despite knowing that it would be branded a rebel force. Choice comes with a price. I will grant the future I promised to those who believed in me. That's it. There is no reason to show mercy to you who exist as an enemy..”
Words spoken firmly.
Jeong Moon-ho closed his eyes tightly..
predicted the future.
like that.
flash.
Jeong Moon-ho's head was blown off..
* * *
Hanam's fall.
The news was immediately reported to the central government..
There have already been dozens of emergency meetings since the catastrophe broke out..
Leaving behind the stony-faced lawmakers, the head of the intelligence department delivered the devastating news..
“……Roman Dmitry demolished Hanam in barely an hour. Hanam Mayor Jeong Mun-ho was executed by having his head cut off, and Roman Dmitry did not spare a single Hanam soldier. Mr. President. This is wrong. Roman Dmitry's methods go far beyond common sense..”
It was shocking.
Not only was it not enough to break international law, Roman Dmitry chose a cruel revenge called filial piety..
It was different from the standards of this world.
No matter how much war broke out, leaders were usually not summarily executed..
The common method was to appease them and seek a new future, or to receive compensation for losing the war..
But Hyosoo?.
It was a terrible result.
delivered a clear message.
“This is a message that we will show no mercy. For example, while not a single citizen of Hanam was harmed, all soldiers who showed willingness to fight with weapons were killed without exception. Roman Dmitry is crazy. As soon as he defeated Hanam, he headed towards Guri, and if things continue like this, Guri will meet the same ending as Hanam. Mr. President. Please give orders.”
yet.
The apocalypse was not resolved.
Every corner of Seoul was under attack, and if we paid attention to other areas now, it could have collapsed from within..
So Roman Dmitry felt even crazier..
If you move your troops at a time like this, you may encounter monsters, but they acted as if there were no restrictions on their actions..
Kim Jeong-tae said.
“There are no exceptions to the principles of the Republic of Korea. We will prioritize the safety of Seoul first..”
“but…….”
“head of intelligence!”
Kim Jeong-tae shouted fiercely..
In fact, no one was more angry than him here..
“It is a pity that those who follow us die. But we cannot make meaningless sacrifices to save them. We must use the crisis as an opportunity. Roman Dmitry broke international law. The entire world strictly prohibited humans from fighting for a month after the cataclysm, but he attacked the same humans without any justification. That means we have a cause. Violation of international law gave us a justification to seek help from other countries, and China announced that it would actively provide assistance. This means that it won't be a problem if China enters the war right now..”
china.
We established a cooperative relationship with them from the beginning..
Their reinforcements had already arrived, but securing a cause was a completely different matter than before..
“If Roman Dmitry had not broken international law, China would not have directly intervened in the civil war other than providing unofficial assistance. But Roman Dmitry dug his own grave. As the world's leading power, China has the authority to punish Roman Dmitry for violating international law. So don't be upset. Chinese reinforcements have already arrived. We will solve all problems while Roman Dmitry sorts out the surrounding local governments, and when they reach Seoul, the combined forces of Korea and China will greet them..”
Kim Jung-tae and other leaders knew..
one collaboration.
It was an irreversible river..
They knew they would have to have a very close relationship with China in the future, but they knew there was no way to protect their power..
Kim Jeong-tae spoke harshly..
“Seoul will be safe as always.”

News from Hanam.
It wasn't just the central government that was on fire..
In the case of copper, which was immediately mentioned as the next target, the leaders gathered together and looked very nervous..
“……Can we stop Roman Dmitry??”
“It's impossible. Hanam had a stronger military force than us, but wasn't it possible for them to last even an hour before being swept away? It will never, ever last. In addition, the central government has communicated its intention to secure the safety of Seoul first..”
“Damn you bastards. We've given our liver and gallbladder all this time, but when we really need it, they turn away from us..”
Dissatisfaction became widespread..
they also.
At first I believed in central government.
So I outright rejected Cha Young-min's contact, but I had no idea that the situation would change so soon..
a man said.
“Surrender now. I heard that Chinese reinforcements have arrived, but while they take care of the monsters, Guri will be destroyed. No matter how strong China's reinforcements are, they cannot guarantee our safety. First of all, you have to cooperate to survive. It is also a good idea to pretend to follow Roman Dmitry and later cooperate with the central government again when the situation changes..”
“you're right. Didn't you hear that the mayor of Hanam was dismissed? Roman Dmitry is a man without mercy, so now you need to act to survive..”
there was no other way.
at last.
The Guri market has made a decision..
Since I had no means of contacting Roman Dmitry, I contacted Incheon Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk and conveyed my intention to surrender..
however.
Kim Jun-hyuk spoke calmly beyond the screen..
[Didn’t Mayor Cha Young-min clearly convey that message? That you will never be given the chance to overturn it again. Changing one's mind in a situation where the outcome is already determined cannot be believed to be sincere. Complete trust comes from uncertainty. I'm sorry, but I don't think there's any way I can help you..]
“Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk! Please consider our situation..”
[I am not the decision maker. There is something Roman Dmitry said to me as he left for the battlefield. I will not leave a single precedent. He would never spare those he defined as his enemies, he said. So, if you really want to survive, when you face Roman Dmitry on the battlefield, raise a white flag and ask for mercy. Of course, I don't know if that's the right choice. I'm just a follower of Him, I can't guarantee whether He will really be merciful.]
It was the harsh truth.
But people were not allowed room to despair..
Kwaang!
Crumbling rumbling.
The office door burst open..
Seeing the panicked looks of the leaders, the soldier shouted with a pale face..
“The walls have collapsed! Rebel forces are attacking Guri!”
* * *
Guri was no different from Hanam..
The defense was breached by just one Roman Dmitry, and even the soldiers who had anticipated the attack and prepared well had no way to fight back..
The walls were stained with blood. In an instant, Guri's defense system completely collapsed due to Roman Dmitry running across the castle wall and carrying out a massacre..
After that.
The direct unit followed..
Lee Tae-seong shouted as he cut down the soldiers..
“Follow Roman Dmitry!”
“We must win. If we lose, the central government will not spare Incheon.!”
There was no hesitation at the direct level..
Incheon.
They have been persecuted by the central government for some time..
Because I knew what tricks the central government had used to destroy Incheon, I could not look at the people who participated in the central government with kind eyes..
It's a fight that will kill you if you don't kill it anyway. In agreement with Roman Dmitry's remarks, the mindset of the direct troops participating in the conquest of Seoul was a strong desire for victory..
Must win.
Incheon survives.
Instead of being swayed by foolish emotions, we faced the fact that the opponent was an enemy who was trying to destroy Incheon..
however.
Not everyone was the same.
It was the same in Hanam, but against Guri's soldiers, the magicians of the Hundred Days were unable to use their strength..
What kind of group is Baekil?.
they sought justice.
For those who live for the people, the act of killing and killing one another was bound to be against their beliefs..
At that look.
Park Min-woo’s eyebrows went up..
‘What if these bastards are hated by Roman Dmitry?.’
mercy on the battlefield?
It's nonsense.
Minwoo Park completely agreed with Roman Dmitry..
During his countless years of experience as Emperor Alexander, he saw countless people being stabbed in the back for showing even the slightest bit of mercy on the battlefield..
You don't have to create a situation where you're begging for mercy in the first place..
I know it's difficult, but it was natural to risk death the moment you show hostility..
Of course I couldn't tell the truth..
In his heart, he wanted to yell at him not to behave like an asshole on the battlefield, but something completely different came out of his mouth..
“Wizards of the Hundred Days, listen up! War does not necessarily represent evil. Just as even angels must take up arms to deal with the devil who is destroying the world, we must swallow the horrors of reality to fight against evil. The central government has been persecuting Incheon. They committed all kinds of evil acts because they did not follow their intentions, and people in Incheon died as a result. Will you forgive them? Is it right to turn a blind eye to evil just because you pursue justice?.”
Death of Incheon people?
It was false..
I don't know if that happened, but it was a fact that the people of Incheon suffered..
The central government will all die anyway..
Even if they deny it ever happened, then the loser's excuses won't work..
Ignited with a sense of justice.
Park Min-woo stepped forward..
“Follow me! We will fight for justice. People who are not here may call our justice an evil act, but if the Republic of Korea regains peace, at least the people of the Republic of Korea will know that we were willing to put blood on our hands for justice.!”
“Follow the White Wizard!”
“for justice!”
The hundred days' wizards shouted together.
their eyes changed.
That sounds right..
There was simply aversion to war, but hadn't the opponent already committed all kinds of evil deeds to win?.
From then on, the hesitation disappeared..
Led by Park Min-woo, magic power exploded..
Park Min-woo shouted from his heart..
‘Slaughter all the arrogant bastards who dare to stand in the way of the Heavenly Demon.!’
pure malice).
Park Min-woo just didn't like the bastards fighting against the Heavenly Demon, but the 100 Day Wizards shed tears of joy..
“For justice in Korea!”
“100 days, live forever!”
People with a burning sense of justice.
Overwhelmed the battlefield.
As Baek Il entered the battle wholeheartedly, Guri could not handle the unfavorable situation..
Only two hours have passed since the start of the war.
Following Hanam, it was the moment when another city called Guri collapsed..
