75Tue Southern Training Center (1)
Ten days after leaving Dmitry.
Roman arrived at the final stronghold of the southern front..
It was a land without a lord, and it was a place where people who wanted to do business with those heading to the battlefield naturally formed a village..
First of all, I stayed at an inn to relieve fatigue before entering the southern training center..
“I will rest here for a day today and go to the southern training camp as soon as the sun rises tomorrow..”
“yes!”
Everyone’s expressions were bright..
Actually they didn't expect good accommodation.
Usually, nobles give up shabby lodgings to their soldiers and stay comfortably for themselves, but Roman rented an entire large and clean inn to ensure a safe rest..
A situation where loyalty cannot help but arise..
The soldiers moving the luggage inside were excited and moved quickly..
in between.
Roman went in first and unpacked..
Then, I sat down in the chair and read again the letter I received a month ago..
[I heard that you are planning to perform your national defense duties. If you say you will become my person, I will solve the problem right away, but I will not bother to stop you because I know your will to dedicate yourself to the country. However, I cannot allow someone who might become my person to suffer harm in the harsh environment of the front lines. I used my hand to deploy you to the southern front. Always keep in mind. When you feel like you need someone's help, know that the Benedict family is waiting by your side..]
last few months.
Roman was persistently courted by Marquis Benedict..
As the head of the noble faction, he hoped to recruit talent to fight against the Royal Knights, and Roman's appearance struck his heart like fate..
The youngest ranker in the Cairo Kingdom. Marquis Benedict had no choice but to tire of his love, and even though Roman rejected him, he continued to attack Roman's heart with his offensive affection..
and currently.
Through Marquis Benedict's connections, Roman was deployed to the southern front..
like he said.
Compared to the Western Front, which directly clashes with the Kronos Empire, the Southern Front is a peaceful place with no danger, but according to the information I have gathered so far, the truth is different..
McKean, a member of Valhalla Intelligence, said the southern front was like a time bomb that could explode at any moment..
At that time, Roman did not know whether he would be deployed to the southern front, but he ordered Lucas to find out for himself in case of an unexpected situation..
‘In the end, you'll have to see it in person to find out..’
If the information is true.
He was not assigned to a temporary position..
Since he might have to stay busy in the future, Roman decided to take a break..
however.
Roman couldn't close his eyes for long..
Udangtang!
right underneath.
Because I could hear the men shouting and fighting..
Let's go downstairs.
I was able to confirm that a fight broke out in the hall..
bang!
“These bastards. Do you know who I am? I am Henry Albert, the second son of the Albert family! A descendant of a famous family from the Kingdom of Cairo is said to be using this inn, but these guys who don't even know their origins are holding out and it's a shame. It won't turn off right away?!”
The situation was obvious.
It must have been a one-sided dispute..
Still, to confirm the facts, Roman went down and asked.
“What's going on?”
“lord!”
Chris grinned..
He, who was on the verge of exploding just now, reported what happened with a slightly heated face..
“that is…….”
The situation was like this.
The soldiers were resting comfortably thanks to Roman's consideration, when the second son of the Albert family stormed into the inn with his troops..
Then he recklessly screamed for everyone to get out..
It seemed like he intended to use it himself because it was the largest and cleanest inn in the area, but there was no reason for him to leave the room for whatever reason..
furthermore.
‘The Albert family is not something that can be called a famous family..’
It is not a nameless family..
It was a family that was famous for a time by producing outstanding talents, but it recklessly expanded its power and was crushed by the checks and balances of those around it..
People living in illusions of the past.
Still, it was a powerful enough force by the standards of the northeastern region, but Roman's reaction would not have been any different even if the opponent had been a famous family..
“why should we go out?”
walked forward.
For a moment, Henry's fierce gaze turned to Roman..
“You are the owner of these guys.?”
“Yes, but.”
“If so, understand the situation properly. I don't know where you come from, but I, Henry Albert, need to stay at this inn. If you're going to the southern training camp anyway, you know very well that there's nothing good about blushing with me. Just give me 10 minutes. Get all this trash out of my sight.”
he was proud.
Dmitry family emblem.
It was my first time seeing it..
Henry Albert judged that his opponent was easy and behaved as he did now..
‘Is this Dmitry's reality?.’
frog in the well.
Dmitry was a strongman recognized only in the northeastern region..
Of course, there was no way that families in other regions would recognize Dmitri, and even if they were members of the same noble family, there was no reason to treat them with unknown family names..
Families deployed to the southern front.
Since most of them were classified as powerful people in the Kingdom of Cairo, it was wise to step down without causing any trouble..
but.
From earlier, Roman was bothered by Henry's eyes looking directly at his face..
“I have no intention of leaving the inn. There is a very easy way to solve the problem in this situation..”
Attitude changed suddenly.
He stopped talking and pulled out his sword as if to show off..
“Draw your sword. If you beat me, I'll gladly vacate the inn..”
It was a provocative statement.
Henry's face turned red..
dare.
It's not enough to treat them poorly, they show hostility..
couldn't forgive.
Just when you're about to pull out your sword.
The knight next to him turned pale and stopped Henry..
“My lord, you must stop now! Your opponent is Roman Dmitry! This is the prosecutor who was promoted to the youngest rank this time.!”
In those words.
Henry's body froze..
Moment.
Is this what it feels like to get goosebumps?.
Henry's eyebrows trembled as he was about to draw his sword..
‘……That bastard is Roman Dmitri.?’
Cairo's youngest ranker.
No one knew that name.
It was natural that the emblem was unrecognizable as he was from a family on the outskirts of Dmitria, but Roman's reputation for defeating Homer at the age of 25 was great..
The fact that it was still an unofficial ranker didn't matter.
If Roman's ranking is acknowledged in the Valhalla Temple, then Roman is not just a rumor..
“draw your sword.”
yet again.
Roman urged..
Seeing the figure waiting for the sword to be drawn with a relaxed expression, Henry swallowed dry saliva..
‘If you draw your sword, you will die..’
Among Roman's rumors, there was something like that..
War with Barco.
Roman Dmitry, who had cornered his opponent, as if that wasn't enough, went directly to Barko and killed the family's eldest son. What happened at that time remained infamous..
A bloodless and tearless devil who dries up any enemy..
In addition to the rumor that he was a ranker, it was also known how scary Roman Dmitry was..
so that.
Henry secretly looked away..
My pride was hurt..
As a man from the Albert family, I didn't know how to live with my head down since I was young, but I had no intention of showing off my pride even in a situation where my head might be blown off..
If the other person is truly the subject of rumors.
Regardless of pride or anything else, the priority was to avoid the situation at hand..
The confident attitude was nowhere to be found..
Henry took a step back and spoke in a very low voice..
“I forgot I had an appointment. Let's just say I apologize for this matter and let's get this over with. Consider yourself lucky. You, who dared to ignore the Albert family... … Ahh!”
widely.
Let Roman take a step forward.
Henry was scared and ran out of the inn..
There was no other way for soldiers who lost their masters..
Seeing them rushing out of the inn, Roman smiled indifferently..
‘Is this the reality of the southern front?.’
southern front.
A resort for noblemen.
The reality was unfolding before my eyes..
Henry's Case.
It wasn't a one-time incident..
that day.
Similar incidents occurred as many as three times, and they all hurriedly retreated at the name of Roman Dmitry..
In such a situation, the innkeeper said:.
“It's a familiar thing here. Unlike the Western Front, which is threatened by the Kronos Empire, the Southern Front maintains an amicable relationship with the Kingdom of Hector, so there is no major risk. So, the sons of nobles who could not avoid their duty of national defense somehow tried to come to the southern front. Is it called a resort for aristocratic children for no reason? It is a perfect place to safely carry out the purpose of national defense, as there is ample training and there is no need to risk one's life..”
west and south.
Even though it was the same warring country, the situation was completely different..
While the troops sent to the Western Front were really risking their lives to go to war, most of the troops on the Southern Front were people with nothing to do..
As a result, there was a lot of conflict at the final base heading to the southern training camp..
Like Henry, everyone lived without envy in their own land, so even if there was someone who had made a reservation at an inn in advance, they acted recklessly when they wanted to..
It was a funny situation.
Even though I haven't entered the training camp yet.
The reality of the southern front was already visible..
flutter.
Roman unfolded the map..
It recorded information related to the southern front, and each area was subdivided and the information was recorded densely..
‘48 days ago, scouts from the Kingdom of Hector crossed the border. They checked the situation on the southern front and returned to their country, but after that, they showed up checking the southern front as many as three times. I'm still not sure if they really had a clear intention of going to war. However, based on the fragmentary information I have gathered, the southern front is not a completely safe land..’
There are signals in war.
Warning from Valhalla Intelligence Department.
The dynamics of Hector's kingdom, observing the border.
That doesn't mean it will lead directly to war, but from what I found out, there were enough signals going on..
for that reason.
Meanwhile, Roman trained the soldiers..
If war did not break out during the two years spent on the southern front, I would have been able to spend my time safely, but the worst possibility was that I needed to evacuate in advance, regardless of probability..
Most people who come to the southern front are not prepared for war. Both mentally and physically.
Unlike other troops who didn't prepare at all, Roman and his soldiers had a really hellish time over the past few months..
If war breaks out.
I had no intention of trusting the scum of the southern front who came for a vacation..
Survive on your own and lay the foundation for your future plans..
“It's war.”
from the tip of the nose.
I could feel the familiar smell of blood..
