After the war (3)

On the way back from meeting Chloe.

Chris was contemplating.

" Can I sacrifice like Henderson?"

Sven.

The shadow that attacked Dmitry was a whopping six-star swordsman.

Chris followed Roman Dmitry with the goal of becoming stronger, so his starting point was a little different from others who were blindly loyal.

If you were faced with a 6 star prosecutor in the same situation as Henderson.

Would he have been able to give Fernando a chance to attack and throw himself at the enemy's attack in the same way?

I do not know.

Loyalty, which came from a sense of victory, could not be declared unconditionally devoted to.

However.

'Chloe.'

leaving the door

I heard her cry behind me.

The grief of the bereaved family was a daily experience as a swordsman, but Chloe's crying was a complicated matter.

Sadness at the loss of Henderson and gratitude towards Roman Dmitry who remembers him.

People who had lived as commoners broke their hearts just by treating them as 'humans'.

it was eaten

Chris is an orphan

After losing his parents and following Captain Jonathan, the words of taking care of his family like Henderson did not come to my heart.

However, I could only imagine.

If, in the future, he himself was not a prosecutor but a father like Henderson, he would form a family, at that time, he would show blind loyalty just to the fact that there was a "safety net" in the family rather than the purpose of surpassing Roman Dmitry.

laughter came out.

Even though Roman Dmitry had told him that this was his own intention, Chloe's feelings contagious him.

'Your word was right. For a commander whose lives are at stake for a single word, I have seen with my own eyes what an attitude that does not take people's lives lightly and a clear reward can produce even if it is not the truth. maybe me too. Having seen Chloe, I might give up my life without hesitation when experiencing the same situation as Henderson. A man called Roman Dmitry that people look up to. To protect you, whom I respect.'

There was a change of heart.

Chris, who was enraged after losing to Roman Dmitry, took an oath of allegiance to the purpose of becoming stronger through time of acknowledging and resigning himself to him, and to this day, he truly respects Roman Dmitry.

distant future.

If I were to become a commander, I wanted to be like Roman Dmitry.

That was then.

"Hey, Knight Chris!"

It was Chloe.

She rushed over and said with a face stained with embarrassment.

"Ah, I must have given you the wrong box. At first glance, it looks like it contains hundreds of gold. I'm sorry, but I don't have the strength to pick up all of them, so can you take them back? If the driver confuses a lot of money like this, it's a big deal.

As she said.

There was 300 gold in the box.

It was enough money for a family of four to play and eat for 300 years, and when Chloe checked the contents of the box, she had no choice but to run out in surprise.

She didn't think it was a reward for Henderson.

Even if they say they made a breakthrough, the reward of 300 gold for commoners was too much.

said Chris.

"I am not mistaken."

" Yes?

"The master said, Chloe-sama, as a mother of a child, needs enough money to live a decent life. Henderson deserves that kind of treatment. And Chloe. The word national merit does not mean a one-time reward. The gold coins you have just received are just the beginning, and in the future you will be able to experience firsthand how Dmitry treats those who have dedicated themselves to the country, not only in financial support, but also in other matters, such as the child's education."

smiled

As a representative of Roman Dmitry.

The fact that I was able to convey these words raised a sense of pride in my heart.

"So please, I hope you live happily ever after."

this problem.

Haomen watched the situation.

The positive news about Roman Dmitry is that they deliberately raised rumors, but an order was issued not to use the casualties for political purposes.

Lucas calmly accepted the order.

I understand what Roman Dmitry meant, but I knew there was going to be an uproar anyway.

a few days later.

As expected, Dmitry was infested.

At first, people who were skeptical of the truth of the rumors related to compensation showed a shocking reaction when they paid monetary compensation, starting with Chloe.

It's not a silver unit.

Although it was paid differently depending on the criminal record, I couldn't get my mind to the situation where gold coins were being paid in the name of compensation.

" Oh my gosh.

"Dmitry said he set a whopping 1 million gold as a reward budget!"

"Is that really true?! No, he must have received a reward of 500,000 gold from the Kronos Empire, but that was not enough, so he would give 500,000 gold more. No matter how wealthy Dmitry is in the iron mining industry, this is impossible. Not 10,000 gold, not 100,000 gold, but 1 million gold!"

There was a riot.

I couldn't believe the amount of 1 million gold, but I couldn't help but believe it as more people started getting rewards every day.

The house next door, and the house next door.

People showed respect for Dmitry's bold decision, as the people he had been hanging out with confirmed the truth of the reward.

Besides.

It is also known for national merit.

"It is a system in which the state takes responsibility for the families of those who have dedicated their lives for the country. I knew that Roman Dmitry was a person who never forgets the hard work of those who devoted himself to Dmitry, but I didn't know that he would even think of such a thing. This is a system that can't be found anywhere else on the continent. Even the Kronos Empire, which claims to be the best on the continent, does not treat people of national merit this much."

"Did everyone hear about Chloe? In recognition of Henderson's work this time, he not only registered as a national meritorious person, but also paid a whopping 300 gold in compensation. It proves that the national merit system is not just words!"

Compensation did not solve the grief of the bereaved family.

but.

A sure reward guaranteed a future for the loss of the family, so at least the bereaved family, like Chloe, who lost their head, could find a way to live in the future.

The country shook.

Some mourned, some praised Roman Dmitry, and some packed their belongings, claiming to be naturalized as Dmitry.

Among them, there was a phenomenon that stood out the most.

A village in Dmitry.

Some of the young men who had dedicated their lives to farming set out on the road with a crude wooden sword.

father. I will enlist in Dmitry's army this way."

"Even Henderson was just a farmer at first. I couldn't wield a sword properly, so my legs trembled while taking the courage test, but I grew into a great swordsman under Roman Dmitry's teaching. There's no law that says you shouldn't be like that. I really want to train hard and become like Henderson."

Mother! I will come back with success!"

one example.

Henderson became the success model for ordinary people.

There were people dreaming of second and third Hendersons, and it gave rise to a phenomenon in which they all headed to Dmitry.

later.

People remembered that day as Henderson syndrome.

that time.

Meetings were held in each country.

[Hector Kingdom]

Looking at the king, Edwin Hector said.

"The Principality of Dmitry has set aside 1 million gold as a budget for war compensation. father. This is an example of how Dmitry treats his people. However, it should not be mistaken for Roman Dmitry to be a human being. The Kingdom of Odelia was the only one among the kingdoms to betray Dmitry, and even when their capital was destroyed, Roman Dmitry was not disturbed at all. That's Dmitry's attitude towards his enemies and allies. If Hector cannot live under the same sky with Kronos, then the next best thing is to unite with Dmitry."

last meeting.

Roman Dmitry noted a clear line and nailed it to not forging a future with those who did not follow it.

The king nodded his head.

Hector was the king, but the real person leading the country was Edwin Hector.

his judgment.

He believed in the steps of Roman Dmitry that he had shown so far.

I know. From now on, Hector will prepare for war against Kronos."

[Redford Kingdom]

The conversation there was not a meeting.

unilateral notice.

King Redford said, looking at his servants.

"The Kingdom of Redford owes a great favor to Roman Dmitry. Without him, Redford would have walked the path of destruction, and Redford's people would have been reduced to refugees like Odelia. keep in mind Redford's decision has nothing to do with winning or losing a war. We will repay Dmitry for his favor, and the moment Dmitry decides to go to war, we will draw a sword for them!"

"For Redford!"

"Blessings to Dmitry!"

[Kingdom of Cairo]

[Umberto Kingdom]

[Kingdom of the Franks]

The situation in the rest of the kingdoms was similar.

The Cairo kingdom was initially one with Dmitry, and the Drakes who led the rebellion and ascended to the throne announced that Umberto would follow Dmitry.

The only Frankish kingdom was divided.

There was a lot of talk about how the Kronos Empire destroyed the Odelia Kingdom at once, but in the end, the choice was Dmitry.

Kronos and Dmitry.

If Kronos showed betrayal even after forming an alliance, Dmitry proved what they were looking for with this reward issue.

Compensation for war did not simply win public opinion.

Even the allied nations that were contemplating their relationship with Dmitry became an opportunity to join the new kingdom union.

The continent has changed rapidly.

First Continental War.

Kronos was defeated for the first time, and Valhalla adhered to the bystander attitude.

Odelia was destroyed, and the Confederation of Old Kingdoms was transformed into a Confederation of New Kingdoms centered on Dmitry.

like that.

Time has passed.

about a fortnight later.

A poster was attached to Dmitry.

[Recruitment of Private Dmitry]

few years ago.

Roman Dmitry had openly recruited enlisted men to follow his orders to leave for the Southern Front. This poster was in a similar context to that time.

Although Dmitry had already grown up as a nation and accepted soldiers from the country, Roman Dmitry's enlisted soldiers had a strong meaning as special forces for individual missions.

And.

There were also some unusual things.

[The status of participants is strictly limited to those who are not currently belonging to the lords of the Dmitry Principality. However, in the case of those who were previously affiliated with the Principality of Dmitry itself, they can change their affiliation by passing the test.]

that day.

Dmitry was furious.

Even so, in a situation where young people are raging about enlisting in Dmitry due to Henderson's syndrome, a poster about saving Roman Dmitry's privates made people's hearts boil.

one person said

"Being Roman Dmitry-sama's private is not simple. Kevin, Volcan, Pooky, etc. People who were obviously at a normal level at first, under the guidance of Roman Dmitry-sama, have grown into great swordsmen. If this is a citizen of Dmitry. If you have a dream of becoming a swordsman on the other side of your chest, there is no reason to hesitate. A large number of soldiers from Dmitry's army will also apply, so I'm sure a huge number of people will take the test.

ten thousand people?

Twenty thousand people?

I couldn't imagine how much support it would be.

By the way.

People have been thinking about common sense.

The general idea that only the people of the Principality of Dmitry would apply for recruitment of enlisted men to follow Roman Dmitry.

right after the news was announced.

Beyond Dmitry.

The entire Salamander Continent began to be engulfed in scorching heat.
