prisoner of war (6)

The words of the Marquis of Memphis.

I couldn't deny it.

Roman Dmitry, whatever he had expected, won the victory with a bold move that surpassed it every time.

In particular, participating in Valhalla's festival despite knowing that both Valhalla and Kronos were aiming for Roman Dmitry's life at the same time clearly proved who he was.

It was not swayed in the slightest by the objective power difference.

Obviously, it was impossible to face the two empires with Dmitry's power alone, but he turned the situation around with his own personal abilities.

Even the Marquis of Creut admitted it.

There was no way to punish Roman Dmitry unless he was prepared to go to extremes once again.

However.

I know. What kind of existence Roman Dmitry is. Unlike the beings who trembled at the value of Kronos' name, Roman Dmitry never backs down. But that's it. We are the Kronos Empire. Kronos' identity lies in his domination, and we don't care who his opponent is. Just like Roman Dmitry!"

series of situations.

I understood in my head.

I did not know what the Marquis of Memphis was talking about, but Kronos is not a country where common sense prevails.

"When a ceasefire was signed with Dmitry. I couldn't take that choice seriously. I think most people in this position are probably no different from me. Since when did we accept compromise with the enemy? Kronos was the country that made the enemy kneel and admit his mistake, even if he slapped his opponent simply because he didn't like him. No matter how much others criticize Kronos' absurdity. We were proud that the Kronos Empire was such a power!"

lately.

I didn't like Kronos' behavior.

In a history marked by defeat, the Marquis of Creut had no intention of just watching.

"Tell me the truth. Why did His Majesty Emperor Cronus go to rest, and what he has planned for a year later. If you don't tell us the truth, special measures are required for this time."

was tough

Looking at the Marquis of Memphis, his voice strengthened.

It was an instantaneous situation.

The nobles gathered in the conference room held their breath, and the Marquis of Memphis looked at the Marquis of Creut without saying a word.

Conversation was cut off.

The Marquis of Creut had clearly expressed his thoughts, but his face grew hotter as time went on with no reply.

"Hey, are you going to come out like that? Okay. I will return to the territory, find people who agree with me, and bring this matter to the public eye."

with a bang.

took a step back

With an angry face, he left the conference room.

Even just a year ago, it was unimaginable.

The Marquis of Memphis was the agent of Emperor Cronus, and speaking up against him, even if not the emperor himself, was acceptable as a protest.

The authority of Emperor Kronos was derived from overwhelming power.

The continuous defeat was gradually undermining the unbreakable authority.

That was then.

Shh.

I heard something being pulled.

The moment the Marquis Creut turned his head with a strange look, a strong shock pierced his stomach.

Whoops!

A sword that pierces the abdomen.

I opened my eyes.

In his wildly shaky vision, he saw the face of the Marquis of Memphis, stained with madness.

* * *

Blood spit and spit out.

Kneeling on his knees in a body that was losing his strength, the Marquis of Creut looked up at his opponent in disbelief.

" Dude, why?"

Creut's House.

imperial power.

No matter how slightly pushed back, it is not something to be dealt with so easily.

As he tried to pull out the sword with his pitiful hand, the Marquis of Memphis staggered, stabbing it even harder.

"Don't get me wrong. The foundations of the Kronos Empire all came from His Majesty the Emperor. But why do I have to bring back a being like you who doubts the Emperor's orders?"

poof.

drew his sword

In the gushing blood, the Marquis of Creut fell to the floor and lost focus.

"Castro."

Yes.

"I order you as the Emperor's representative. Send your troops right now, and kill all those related to the Creuts. Aside from the simple kinship relationship, those who have maintained close friendships with Creut are also included in the purge list. This is to correct the discipline of Kronos. We have to make sure that there is no single exception."

Okay.

Chronos Ranking 1st.

Castro, the head of the Royal Knights, moved forward with a dull face.

The atmosphere was chilly.

No one could have even imagined that the Creut family would fall in such vain.

The Marquis of Memphis turned his head.

As the nobles averted their gaze in amazement, they showed a blood-stained smile.

"Kreutt is an idiot. Born as a noble of the Kronos Empire, he uttered remarks that denied the history of the empire. keep in mind The history of the Kronos Empire never allowed defeat. It's not because your opponents are weak. There were beings of considerable dignity, such as Roman Dmitry, but they always fell to their knees and bowed their heads to Cronus."

followed in the footsteps of the nobles.

At the ferocious voice, the drops of blood dripping on the floor, the nobles could not turn their heads.

"If anyone has any doubts about the victory of Kronos. Look back at the history of the continent. How Kronos has been victorious. Why is Kronos called the continent's greatest power? The power that Roman Dmitry faced was only part of Kronos. The stupid and pathetic guys are already cheering as if they had defeated Kronos just by destroying some of them, but those who know the truth about Kronos do not doubt the victory. Victory was planned from the beginning. It is only the Emperor who decides how much victory he will win, and Roman Dmitry provoked his wrath."

1 year.

The count started.

When Emperor Kronos raises his forces once more, then nothing will be able to stop them.

"Trust the Emperor. As history repeats itself, the history of victory will be with the Kronos Empire forever."

acknowledged

Kronos is.

He never showed his power.

Because it overwhelms the continent with just a few, people did not dare to think of opposing the Kronos Empire.

I bowed my head.

people realized

Marquis of Memphis.

How he established himself as a real power.

Although he possessed the ability and brutality to rise to that position, above all else, his blind faith in the imperial family made the present Marquis of Memphis.

Emperor Cronus' favorite dog of the royal family.

The Marquis of Memphis remained faithful to his role as a minion in power, no matter how he was judged by future generations.

sat on the chair.

Then.

"Never again doubt the power of the Empire like the stupid Marquis Creut."

With an indifferent expression, he wiped the blood from his face.

Dmitry's move.

The world turned upside down.

Even when the rumors first spread, people doubted the truth of the rumors they had heard from Dmitry.

"Dmitry attacking Kronos!"

" Are you really trying to nullify the armistice negotiations like this?"

"Roman Dmitry is definitely not an ordinary person. Since the Kronos Empire hid Dmitry's prisoners, he led the troops across the border without hesitation. The problem is the response of the Kronos Empire. Even if there was no intention to actually declare war, the Empire cannot stand still."

People's attention was focused.

The result of Roman Dmitry's bold move could not be predicted.

By the way.

"You crazy. Roman Dmitry killed all who tortured the prisoners in the territory of Kronos!"

"Did the Kronos Empire simply release the prisoners? The world has definitely changed. In the Kronos Empire as we know it, it's normal to raise your voice in disrespectful comments, but since your opponent is Roman Dmitry, you're negotiating at some level. In fact, if you think about it, they even gave up 500,000 gold for a truce, but they can't resume the war because of their own problems."

"Is this the end of the armistice negotiations?"

some time later

The second shock hit people.

Dmitry's attack.

Hearing that they had captured the front-line defensive positions even after fulfilling their promises, ordinary people could not keep their composure.

" In the end, you crossed the line."

it's over. There is no way to stop the Second Continental War now."

I don't know if this will be a good thing for Dmitry in the end, but if I were Dmitry's man, my loyalty to Roman Dmitry would grow stronger. Just because you hid and tortured Dmitry's prisoners, you directly attacked across the border of Kronos.

Second Continental War.

There was a riot.

People were convinced of war.

When Kronos was attacked like this, I thought there was no reason to keep the truce until the end.

one day, two days.

Time has passed.

Unlike people preparing for war with fuss, the Kronos Empire did not show any action.

* * *

The world was a mess.

The words of people talking about the possibility of war also flowed into Edwin Hector's ears.

'How on earth does Roman Dmitry make such a bold decision?'

I looked at the situation differently.

if.

If he had been in Roman Dmitry's position, would he have been able to retrieve Dmitry's prisoners in the same way?

It was impossible.

If it really turns into a war, it would be bad for Dmitry as well, so he would have thought about how to retrieve the prisoners of war by mentioning the contents of the 'truce negotiations'.

That was a commonsense idea.

As it is a sensitive issue, in order not to see blood, it is politics between countries to compromise appropriately even with the enemy.

By the way.

Roman Dmitry made a breakthrough.

crossed the border

Killed those related to the prisoners.

Although that was not enough, the front-line defensive positions were burned, but the Kronos Empire did not respond at all.

It was the difference in power.

Roman Dmitry has shown solid results so far, so I knew that it would be difficult for even the empire to provoke Roman Dmitry, even if it was difficult for them to handle.

It was amazing.

Cronus, who had never considered an equal position with the exception of the Empire, took a step back following the ceasefire.

admired

Roman Dmitry's moves, each time, exceeded Edwin Hector's expectations.

'But that doesn't mean it's always a good thing for Dmitry. From truce negotiations to this issue. Cronus, who did not allow compromise, is suppressing their anger as much as possible. This is not a simple matter. Rather than repeating mistakes in the face of continuous defeat, it means that you will give up your pride to some extent in order to look back on your own problems and achieve a sure victory. If the Kronos Empire once again reveals its ambition to conquer the continent. Dmitry and Kronos. Beings like hot fire will bump into each other head-on without retreating, and will decide the game of the continent.'

it was certain

In the future, the news of people praising Dmitry was not so pleasant to hear.

The world has changed rapidly.

If the world in the past allowed the position of the weak, in the future, the fate of the country will be in danger if one side is not chosen.

'I can't protect Hector at my current level. have to be strong Aid Dmitry to thwart the ambitions of the Kronos Empire. You must be strong at any cost.'

moved a step

Not Prince Edwin Hector.

Now, it was time to spend a fierce time as a wizard.

same subject.

same information.

But he thought differently.

Edwin Hector grew worried about Kronos, while King Frank focused on other points.

"Uhhhhhh. The Frankish kingdom is having a period of revival by a wise king!"

crossroads of choice.

The king of the Franks chose Dmitry.

At that time, there was a lot of talk within the kingdom, but winning the war was not enough, and the recent overpowering of the Kronos Empire made him happy.

A great shift in power was taking place.

Originally, Kronos and Valhalla, the two major mountain ranges of the continent, led everything, but now there is Dmitry between them.

new power.

Dmitry's status changed.

If you think about the future that will change around them in the future, you need to work on the bottom right now.

"So, how to look good on Dmitry?"

The opponent was Count Samir.

A being trusted by the King of the Franks.

I've given him a special order, and now it's my turn to check the results.

"A special event is planned for Dmitry just in time."

" A special event?"

Yes. Isn't Roman Dmitry famous for terrifying his people? However, Lauren Dmitry, the third son of the Dmitry family, was recently promoted to A-Class of the Cairo Royal Academy. The promotion ceremony is scheduled five days from now, and there is a very high probability that Duke Dmitry will be present."

okay?

eyes widened

Gumi pulled.

Certainly, a person as high as Lauren Dmitry could be said to be an important person in the Dmitry family.

said the king of the Franks.

"Call a meeting right now! What Dmitry will like will be decided through a meeting."

Eyes burning with intense longing.

That's simply.

It was not a phenomenon that was limited to the Frankish kingdom.

D-day 5 days.

In conjunction with this captivity incident, the interest of the Salamander Continent began to turn to the Cairo Royal Academy.
