that day.

A man named Lucas, who came to the Drake family, identified himself as Roman Dmitry's agent.

"So, what did you come to me for?"

Marquis Drake.

A symbol of Umberto's military, he looked at Lucas with a sharp gaze worthy of his fame.

Next to him was his eldest son, Calderon Drake. Following his father on the battlefield since childhood, he was a swordsman genius who awakened his three-star aura at the age of his early 30s.

Umberto always suffered persecution from Cronus, but the two were so symbolic that there was a saying that if someone asks about Umberto's future, look at the Drake and father.

The pressure was great.

An ordinary person can't stand their gaze, but Lucas experienced the overwhelming presence of Roman Dmitry.

blast furnace.

Lucas' reaction was relaxed.

Savoring the tea the Drake family had given him, he calmly accepted the situation.

"It smells good. Since you're asking straight-forward, I won't go round and round. I'm sure you all know that the Kronos Empire has announced the assassination of my lord Roman Dmitry. In the process of reversing the forces that attempted to assassinate the master, we have obtained data that is labeled as a 'first-class assassination list'."

"I mean, I was on that list."

no. There were two people on the list, one Count Rondon of the Kingdom of Redford, and the other... ."

shifted his gaze.

As we passed Marquis Drake and looked at Calderon Drake, Marquis Drake slammed the table roughly.

Quang!

"You rip off bastards! You mean they were after my son? Dare, the eldest son of the Drake family?!"

Yes. They assassinated his son and tried to manipulate it with the actions of the tyrants of the Umberto Kingdom. What they want is Umberto's infighting. If Marquis Drake, the symbol of the military, is engulfed in anger, he will lose the strength to face the external enemy, Kronos. That's why I'm here to warn you of an assassination attempt.

"Is that the end? That alone is something to be thankful for, but if that were the case, you wouldn't have come to me directly."

Back Warlord.

Marquis Drake read the plates.

He thought there was another reason for Roman Dmitry to head to Redford and Lucas to find him.

Lucas laughed.

Yes. From now on, I want to tell the Drakes what is going to happen. My lord will finish his journey to Redford and head for Valhalla. After all that is done there, the war against the Kronos Empire is very likely to become a reality. At that time, I hope that the Umberto Kingdom will make a realistic judgment. The kingdom unity will be shaken between Kronos and Dmitry like a reed, but if we choose Kronos again this time, the game-changing opportunity of the continent will never return."

"Does this mean that we will even have an all-out war with Kronos?"

Yes. If things go to extremes, Dmitry will not back down."

Marquis Drake was amazed.

Dmitry.

they are crazy

Although he has made great strides recently, he did not know that he was prepared to even go to war with Kronos.

Lucas' words caused confusion.

Marquis Drake was a man with a pulpit, but an all-out war with Kronos was not a matter to be taken lightly.

It is different from simply blocking enemy attacks at the border.

If war was declared with demons such as Cronus, the Umberto Kingdom could be on the road to destruction with just one choice.

got into trouble

Then Calderon Drake said.

father. Can I say something?"

"Tell me."

"Looking back on Roman Dmitry's journey, there has been no coincidence. He created the situation himself, and put Dmitry where he is today. I think this is a similar problem. If Roman Dmitry decided to go to war and gave us a chance like this. They are certainly right to see that they have something against Kronos."

I saw Lucas.

As a swordsman, Calderon Drake truly admired Roman Dmitry's progress.

"I am not going to tell you the future for sure. But if the day comes when Roman Dmitry really proves the war against Kronos in action. Drake will not miss that opportunity."

that day.

The rich man had many conversations.

And when Roman Dmitry declared war, they contacted Dmitry and promised a new future.

* * *

drop.

Communication is cut off.

King Odelia was stunned.

I was shocked beyond words when I heard that Drake had followed Roman Dmitry in the first place.

" Roman Dmitry did not wage war recklessly. Hector, Redford, Umberto, Cairo. He secured the support of a majority of the kingdoms that exist on the continent, and laid the plate to prove that he could defeat the Kronos Empire with only Dmitry's power. I didn't even know that, how could I make such a stupid decision?"

I got goosebumps.

Roman Dmitry was daring, but he was not a person who excluded reality.

Cairo and Hector were secured as allies from the beginning, and the Kingdom of Redford was favored by Earl of Rondon.

And Umberto.

They painted a picture for a new dominion, not by convincing the weak king, but by stimulating the Drake family that supported the Umberto Kingdom.

finally.

From the outset, Dmitry did not need the support of the Kingdom Union.

Rather than just trying to convince Frank and Odelia, they tested the sincerity of the two kingdoms with a radical move.

The king of the Franks was quick-witted.

In the rapidly changing situation, the Franks followed the trend, but King Odelia made the choice to cling to the Kronos Empire after much deliberation.

It was desperate.

He wanted to tear his mouth apart, but even if he could turn back time, it was unlikely that he would make another choice.

" father. Why did my father make me so weak?"

former king.

King Odelia's father, looking at his son who inherited the crown, said:

"The position of the king is not a place that is only so enjoyable. Remember the pain of our ancestors. The ancestors, who had their heads stiffened against powerful forces such as the Kronos Empire and the Valhalla Empire, did not escape a desperate end. Some kings went to the empire and bowed their heads dozens of times, while others had their heads blown off and hung on the walls. That is the reality of Odelia. The king of a weak country must be content with the power and life that is worthy of a weak country."

he is.

He looked at his son with a sad face.

Because the days he lived were not so enjoyable.

Because his father and his grandfather told me desperately how the king of a weak country must act in order to survive.

He passed on the teachings for the sake of his son's life. In the future, he believed that there was no way to escape Kronos's demonic beasts.

And such memories.

became shackles.

King Odelia did not see a new future even though an opponent named Dmitry appeared.

Odelia's ancestors.

Their despair and their pain were engraved deep in their bones.

" If my father had said something a little different, I would have made a different choice than I do now."

no.

It was impossible.

He had lived like that, and he was not allowed to imagine a new future.

That was then.

Bump!

"Stand, the gates! The gates have been opened!"

Suha shouted.

Seeing his desperate expression on his face, King Odelia tightly closed his eyes.

The kingdom of Odelia.

His fate ended here.

* * *

pole and pole.

Unlike Odelia, who was on the road to ruin, King Frank majesticly stepped into the conference room.

"His Majesty the King enters!"

The knight's roaring voice.

The leaders got up from their seats and bowed their heads.

The King of Franks, who entered the room, sat at the head of the table, and received the respectful gaze of the top officials.

"Your Majesty's choice was right. With Dmitry defeating Kronos, we are freed from the imperial beasts."

"How on earth can you be born with such great insight? I knew right away that His Majesty's eyesight was different from that of the criminal, but as I watched him lead the Frankish kingdom with a bold decision, I was truly amazed. Taking this opportunity, I will once again swear allegiance to His Majesty the King!"

"Long live His Majesty the Franks!"

There was a riot.

To Dmitry's triumph, they responded with more joy than anyone else.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Everyone is gilding my face. I just looked at the flow and decided that I could no longer watch the atrocities of the Kronos Empire. The real great person is Roman Demetrige. I thought that I had prepared everything as much as I had declared war first, but I didn't know that I could defeat Kronos by force."

"No one on the continent would have thought of that."

is it. Ha ha ha ha."

laughed cheerfully.

As far as the uvula could be seen, the Frankish king did not hide his joy.

alternative.

At two crossroads, the Frankish kingdom chose Dmitry after much deliberation.

By the way.

When he heard that the Kingdom of Odelia had been attacked by the Kronos Empire, and that Dmitry had defeated the Kronos Empire, goosebumps arose.

Odelia's end may have been Frank's future.

If he had accepted the plan of the Kronos Empire, Frank could not be spared either.

His judgment was right.

From now on, I had to make sure that I made use of an advantageous situation.

said the king of the Franks.

"The Kronos Empire proved that it could not coexist with the kingdoms of the continent by attacking the kingdom of Odelia. Now is your chance. At this time when Dmitry defeated Kronos, we must secure favorable conditions for us by pushing the Kronos Empire. So, gather your troops right now. Immediately after the meeting with the new Kingdom Federation tomorrow, I will take revenge on the Kronos Empire that despised and persecuted the Franks."

made a decision

To the order of the Frankish king, the top officials responded enthusiastically, saying it was a wise decision.

And the next day.

The King of Franks heard the absurd news.

what? Kronos wants a truce?!"

that's.

It was an unexpected, unexpected development.

* * *

Kronos' agent.

It was Baron Charlton.

He found Kairos and said while looking at the King of Cairo who was sitting at the top.

"This war started with a minor conflict. I fully understand the feelings of Dmitry and Cairo's anger and declaration of war, but Emperor Kronos wants the war to end. So, why not declare a truce in Iman? This was not a decision made because of defeat on the Western Front. The Empire of Kronos has already made all the preparations for the subsequent attack, but since His Majesty Emperor Kronos no longer desires reckless sacrifices, he has made this merciful choice.

he was brave

Even after losing the war, even after mentioning the ceasefire first, he raised his head as if there was nothing to bow down.

All sides were enemies.

Dmitry's people stared at him, but he was never afraid of living as Kronos' agent. That his background is the Kronos Empire. It gave me unlimited confidence.

"I don't think this truce is an understatement for Dmitry and Cairo. If you go to the end with Kronos, are you confident that you can handle Kronos with the power of the two kingdoms? Don't judge everything by just one win. And especially. If you accept a truce, I will spare King Odelia as a sign of peace. The capital of Odelia is now captured by Kronos, but to prove our sincerity, we will guarantee Odelia's safety. Please, make a wise choice."

It's never.

It wasn't the loser's request.

Kronos's proposal was so compelling that the meaning of the proposal was overshadowed.

That was then.

"Roman Dmitry. What do you think of Kronos' proposal?

The King of Cairo has given up his say.

Knowing that Roman Dmitry was a real powerhouse, people's eyes naturally focused on one place.

OK.

Roman Dmitry said.

"Baron Charlton. Who made the law not to kill messengers during war?"

It was an obvious understatement.

Baron Charlton exclaimed with a blushing red face when he saw him stop talking even in public.

"Be polite!"

"The Continental Law speaks of the duty to protect the 'herald'. I, too, admit that. But did you follow the due process as a messenger? He did not ask us for permission in advance, nor did he raise the white flag first. The Kronos Empire arrogantly notified the Herald's Warp. According to the procedure stipulated in the Continental Law, you are not something that can be defined as a messenger."

" what it is."

Moment.

Baron Charlton was perplexed.

I didn't know Roman Dmitry would react like this.

"We are still at war, Baron Charlton."

showed murderous intent.

Even without pulling out his sword, he suppressed the existence of a person with his eyes alone.

"If you want to exist as a messenger in the middle of an enemy camp, get down on your knees with a white flag."
