said Roman.

Do you think the Kingdom of Cairo is moving in the right direction?

first topic.

It was a sensitive issue from the start.

The expression of the nobles hardened slightly, but Roman did not care about their reaction.

At the time of the invasion of the kingdom of Hector, I was on the southern front. It was not the kingdom of Hector that made it difficult for me at the time, but the enemy within. immediately after the outbreak of the war. I have noticed the enemy's intentions to capture the Warp Gate. But the commanders of the Southern Front did not listen to me, and in just a few days the Southern Front fell into the hands of the Kingdom of Hector.

It was embarrassing.

Carelessness caused disaster, and the huge piece of land was lost in an instant.

The reality of a small country could not be explained with words.

Hector was also no different from Cairo, but Hector was at least one and moved in unison.

That's not the only problem. When the Cairo royal family learned that the southern front had been attacked, they did not move immediately. The four-topped leadership took a lot of time to make a decision, and the Southern Front was thus captured while they fought for power. The same goes for later. Do you think Cairo's royal family sent their troops straight away? no. They minimized the central government's forces, gathered troops from the southern part of the country, and sent reinforcements. What if me and the soldiers didn't make a reversal on the Southern Front? Even now, we may be at war with the kingdom of Hector.

What the hell do you mean by saying that?

asked a nobleman.

A rebuke to the royal family.

A word I couldn't put into my mouth came to mind.

I am not talking about rebellion. However, we need to face reality with this as an opportunity.

Rebellion.

This was the part the nobles were worried about.

Because he denied it, I was able to ask questions with ease.

Then tell me the main point.

The Kingdom of Cairo is controlled by the central government. This case alone proved that the royal family cannot move its troops without the permission of the central government. And even in a dangerous situation on the southern front right now, the 'Southern troops' were the first priority, and the central government made a move to conserve power as much as possible. What do you think it means? What if the Cairo Kingdom was engulfed in war? The central government will mobilize troops from the northeast area. They are willing to go to war for the sake of the country's good fortune, but they are obviously willing to take advantage of practical gains by setting up local troops as arrowheads. Even the same victory. Unlike the aristocrats in the provinces who have lost all their troops, the nobles in the central government will continue to firmly maintain the system of power.

The royal family is incompetent.

They had no intention of overthrowing them and claiming the throne, but at least they needed a force to oppose Cairo's power.

The reality in Cairo is unfair. In the same country, paying the same taxes, the nobles of the central government and we have different duties and responsibilities. How long are you going to keep an eye on this reality? After experiencing the past, I decided that a new change was needed in the northeast area.

Finally.

Roman has reached his true purpose.

Just as the aristocrats in the capital enjoy power under the name of the central government, why not join forces in the northeast region to form a force that protects each other? That is why I have called you all.

* * *

Moment.

The nobles looked at each other.

Apparently, they belonged to the northeast region, but they did not know that there might be a central government knapuul among them.

I couldn't be quick to confirm.

If you say something wrong and then things go wrong, you could face a headwind like the Dmitry family.

their reaction.

understood.

Even in a small country, the power of the central government was absolute within it.

'It doesn't matter whether the Knapool exists. Anyway, once Dmitry starts moving in earnest, the central government won't allow me much time. So it's fast-paced. We must quickly unite the entire northeast area into one. If the northeast area around Dmitry is united as one, the central government cannot move hastily. Even within the same central government, factions are divided. Moving troops to deal with the entire northeast area would be a burdensome choice for them as well.

odor problem.

Not resolved yet.

Unless they turn completely hostile, Cairo's powers will not give up on Roman's subjugation.

'Put the whole northeast area in my hands. When we go up to the capital again, a new plan begins.

I saw the nobles.

A look of concern was evident.

It was good to unite forces, but it created a fatal problem.

good. If we join forces in the northeast region, we will certainly be able to raise our voices against the central government as well. The problem is that the environment in the northeast area is barren. Some regions, including Lawrence, have fertile land for farming, but the reality is that most do not. Each region has its own strengths. Just as Dmitry was revived by mining, most families in the northeast region have their own livelihoods. We bring in what we need from the income we earn from our livelihoods, and a fight with the central government is likely to block this commerce entirely.

It was a real problem.

center of commerce.

Cairo was eventually connected directly to the capital.

The cut off from the capital created real problems, and the central government took advantage of that advantage to gain its present power.

If there is even a war with the central government.

I didn't even know I had to worry about the food problem right away.

It may be fine for a year or two, but in the long run, problems are bound to arise.

said Roman.

The system of commerce directly connected to the central government. If the link is not broken, the local nobles will always have to be dragged around. Not all problems can be solved. But if you decide, there is a way, at least as far as the food problem goes.

gave a signal

Master of the Information Guild.

Lucas came forward.

This is a future development plan.

????????

unfolded the map.

On the map that marked the northeast area, as Lucas said, there was a development plan.

eyes were focused.

Everyone was waiting for Roman's explanation.

The northeast area has more mountains than other areas. Especially behind Dmitry, there is an endless mountain range, which is also called the end of the continent. We need to take advantage of these geographic features. The mountain is a very advantageous structure to fend off enemy attacks, and we will build a fortress on this mountain to prepare people for emergencies. In addition, we plan to cultivate crops so that the northeast area can become self-sufficient by clearing the mountains.

Is that possible? Clearing a mountain is not a trivial matter.

Meantime.

Thousands of people coveted the mountain ranges in the northeast.

However, it failed repeatedly, and in the end, the local nobles had no choice but to live a life dependent on the capital.

with them like that.

Roman Dmitry was different.

Yes, it is possible.

previous life.

The headquarters of Cheonma Shintoism.

Hundreds of kilometers of mountains stretched out, Hundreds of Mountains (十萬大山).

* * *

Before leaving for the Southern Front.

Roman ordered Lucas to investigate the endless mountain range.

A mountain range similar to Mt. Hundreds. Could this be a coincidence?

new life.

As time passed, it was closely related to the previous life.

Like his previous life, he was born into a blacksmith family, and behind the family there was a mountain range like Mt. Hundreds of thousands.

Is it a coincidence?

Or is it inevitable?

It is not yet possible to determine a new life, but what is certain is that the previous life gave him the knowledge to utilize the endless mountain range.

Cheonma Shingyo has established its base in Mt. Hundreds of generations. He was accustomed to farming using some flat or sloping land, and formed a fortress perfect enough to withstand the attacks of the faction Moorim for several years. It is no different in the present. If you make good use of the given environment, the northeast area can get a new route.

And now.

Roman said to the nobles.

As shown in the data, we have classified the land that can be cleared, and some are already in the process of clearing. It's probably going to take a long time. But if we use the endless mountain range as a last bulwark, not just a wall, we will have the strength to not back down in the face of threats from the central government.

That s great.

Everyone was amazed.

From the clearing plan to the drawing of the fortress.

Roman was strict.

It was not merely suggesting an abstract direction, but clearly telling how to proceed.

The existence of endless mountain ranges. Its meaning is not simple. If the endless mountain range is used as the source of the northeast area, the fact that the location of the endless mountain range exists behind Dmitry cannot be overlooked. Naturally, Dmitry's power will grow stronger. That is the beginning. The moment Dmitry takes full control of the northeast area, I gain strength against the central government.

Northeast Association.

There was a reason they saved them.

If they destroy the Northeast Alliance, they will need money and manpower to fill the void left by them.

It was a waste.

Rather, I was thinking of accepting their existence and using it as a 'wall' to reach Dmitry.

In order for the central government to attack Dmitry in the future. We must destroy the forces including the Northeast Alliance.

It is not simply a battle between the central government and Dmitry, but a battle between powers.

Dispute with Earl Douglas.

In the line of not cutting the flesh of the northeast area, Roman attacked the northern forces and made them face the reality.

That was the way it was.

If you attack the Northeast Alliance.

In the future, that would mean that the power of the power to oppose the central government will weaken.

As time goes by, the Northeast Association loses its ability to betray. Breaking with the central government means relying on Dmitry, and in order to survive within the same fence, we have no choice but to move as cooperatively as possible. necessary evil. Allow them to exist, but they will pay a price for me.

A plan that started with a sequence arrangement.

Had he known that fact, Viscount Conrad would have gone speechless with goosebumps.

The nobles watched.

At first, I thought it was reckless, but I thought I could sympathize with this plan.

That was then.

I will follow the advice of the Dmitry family. Lawrence is willing to help Dmitry in whatever he does.

The same goes for the Konrad family. We will help you with anything.

Lawrence and Conrad.

they went first

Anyway, the trend has turned.

If they had to go with Dmitry, they decided they needed to show their loyalty sooner than others.

Lawrence though.

Viscount Conrad's judgment was swift.

He had long since abandoned his pride, and starting with him, the aristocrats in the northeast region swore allegiance.

opinions were gathered.

the northeast area.

With Dmitry as the center, they hoped to form a force.

said Roman.

From now on, the name of the alliance in the northeast will be called the Dmitry Alliance .

even in one name.

Dmitry gave meaning to reign.

Finally.

It was the moment when the entire northeast area fell into Dmitry's grasp.

that time.

shriveled.

Baron Romero tilted his glass.

On the other side, there was Knights Commander Jonathan.

Captain of the Knights Jonathan. Do you think I was wrong?

this meeting.

It was a matter of great importance.

Baron Romero, however, wanted Roman Dmitry to lead, not himself.

Jonathan drank without a word.

His blood boiled, but he couldn't say he was right in front of his master.

From the moment I first got the title of nobility. I've been thinking endlessly about whether it's right for me to live as an aristocrat. As a blacksmith by birth, I didn't really fit my aptitude because I lived my life in these cumbersome clothes and shivering with culture. Don't you know too well? who i am At first I thought it would be okay to live here, but looking around lately, I can see how stupid I was.

Don t say that.

eating.

Baron Romero laughed.

Romero's Dmitry.

it was mediocre

Although he had power, he could not use it, and Dmitry was ignored by the people.

But how about now?

Everyone looked up to Dmitry, and at a single word from Roman, they saw the crowd flock to Dmitry early in the morning.

Dmitry is heading in the right direction now. Dmitry's people take pride in living on this land, and the nobles in the northeast no longer ignore Dmitry as a petty-born child. So I decided to take a step back. For the future, it would be better for Roman Dmitry to handle the important things rather than me.

acknowledged reality.

He is just a blacksmith.

The position of the lord did not suit him, and he finally put an end to the succession issue that he had been pondering endlessly.

I m sorry to Rodwell, who has suffered so far, but Dmitry s eldest son is an irreplaceable existence.

It does not mean that the title is inherited immediately.

but.

took a step back

At least, he intended to leave all external affairs to Roman for the time being, so that he could take full control of the real power.

drank alcohol

Baron Romero couldn't hide his excitement from the rising drunkenness.

It s really good.

that day.

A great change took place inside Dmitry.

transfer of power.

In addition to Baron Romero's pledge, the nobles who attended the meeting considered Roman to be the center of the Dmitry family.

Dmitry Alliance.

The events of the day were unknown to the capital.

As Roman had expected, the central government's kinapouls existed, but they were overwhelmed by Roman's momentum and concluded that they would join the Dmitry Alliance.

To be precise, the fight with Earl Douglas had a significant impact.

A close fist is more terrifying than a distant power, and Roman's plan was certainly plausible.

That's when Dmitry was going through a period of turbulence.

Someone was looking for Dmitry.

Is this Dmitry, the holy land of blacksmiths?

middle-aged man.

A stylish sword hung around his waist.

Valentino Marquis.

He followed the trail of Blaze and arrived at Dmitry.
