Graxxar (6)

The surroundings came into view.

A world tree revived.

And the elves who swear allegiance, including the mother elf.

As the scene changed in an instant, Roman Dmitry remembered what the brown rock had told him.

"About several decades ago. We found a lump of bonfire deep underground. It is a power dangerous enough to burn the whole world, but it is also the only hope that will melt the world tree if used well."

The situation was drawn out.

In the process of connecting the World Tree and the spirit, the flames of fire must have been ignited, and the flames controlled like the horses of brown rocks seemed to melt the frozen World Tree.

If so, I could fully understand the elves' reactions.

For those who hold the world tree like a god, their existence will inevitably be special.

However.

The oath of allegiance was simply not acceptable.

The elves were a highly useful race, but Roman Dmitry preferred a relationship that paid a clear price.

"I don't want unrequited loyalty. Luna wanted me to ensure the safety of the country, and came to Arcadia to fulfill a deal with them. What do you expect in return for your loyalty?"

attitude has changed.

From the moment the opponent bows his head.

There was no reason to be respectful.

Even if the opponent was a mother elf, Roman Dmitry was accustomed to being held up.

The mother elf did not raise her head.

Kneeling with his face bowed, he raised his voice and said the truth.

"There is only one thing we want. From the moment when the flames of the fire demon revived the World Tree, Arcadia had a chance to be revived. So please help us seize this opportunity. Even if a horde of evil invades the world from beyond the dimension, we will not be in danger as long as Roman Dmitry remains steadfast."

It was the same word.

As the kingdom of Luna said, the elf clan sacrificed everything they had to ensure safety.

"Those who threaten this world must face Roman Dmitry-sama. Be strong. The elf clan will help you both physically and mentally, so you have a power that no one can match. If you promise me one thing, this Gaius will dedicate his life to Roman Dmitry-sama."

"I will be dedicated."

"I will be dedicated."

Everyone bowed their heads.

The mother elf represented the entire elf.

In a situation where the world tree was revived and the mother elves supported it, the general elves took a stand as one.

Among them was Tersha.

It was a simple matter.

Swearing allegiance in the hope of safety was a form of trade all too familiar in the life of the weak and strong.

Roman Dmitry said.

"I promise. In return for allegiance, you will receive Dmitry's protection from now on.

elf clan.

It was the moment they fully joined Dmitry.

* * *

Things were sorted out.

I was about to leave the realm of the elves, but a late visitor came.

"Shin (臣) Gyro. Meet the hero of the Luna Kingdom!"

thud.

It was a familiar sight.

As mother elves and elves have shown, Gyro knelt as soon as he saw Roman Dmitry.

"The suffering of the Luna Kingdom and the heroes is all because of my stupidity. Even though I was clearly told to wait, I went out with the troops, and lost all the troops of the Luna Kingdom. A mistake made by one pathetic and foolish human has paid a heavy price for all. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. If the hero had not saved us, Luna would have perished."

It was a desperate cry.

Roman Dmitry.

He reclaimed Luna's fortress and subjugated the orcs.

In the process of moving to the realm of the elves, they stepped on their corpses, constantly reminiscing about the moment they met him.

Luna's hero.

I knew it as soon as I saw it.

Gyro expressed his feelings without thinking about the appearance of a man showing a prominent presence alone.

If it wasn't for Roman Dmitry, Luna would be over.

Thinking that all his mistakes had been resolved because of him, he could not convey all his gratitude, even as he screamed with a blood stick around his neck.

cried

The tears flowing down his face represented Gyro's sincerity.

"Please accept us. If there's anything I can do for a hero, even if I'm a little bit, I'll do whatever it takes. If you tell me to die, I will die. If you tell me to jump, I'll throw myself off a cliff. The day I made all of Luna's soldiers die. A man named Gyro also died on the spot. From now on, not for personal feelings, but for Luna. And I will live for Roman Dmitry."

after that.

Luna's soldiers also knelt one after another.

Among them was Kayden, a familiar face.

"Please accept us!"

"From now on, I will live for Roman Dmitry-sama!"

It was a fun situation.

A moment ago, the elves swore allegiance, and the exact same scene unfolded before their eyes.

Gyro was a fool.

If he had been Dmitry's man from the start, it would have been difficult to hold on to the responsibility of defeat.

However.

I'm not here to hold you accountable for that.

At that time, Gyro was just stupid, but he did his best for Luna.

Since he was not in a position to receive Dmitry's orders, there was no reason to bring his previous work and punish him.

Roman Dmitry said.

"Kayden. What were the terms of our contract?"

eyes were focused.

Kayden, who was shouting among the crowd, said with a cautious face.

" Instead of helping Luna, I swear allegiance to Dmitry."

okay. Dmitry fulfilled the contract."

People's eyes widened.

That moment.

"Get up. You are already Dmitry's people."

* * *

a few days later.

The tribal meeting was concluded early.

In advance, the meeting was held with the exception of Dmitry, and the two beings took the lead with a ponytail on their necks.

One of them was the gyro.

"This is a no-brainer! When Graxxar pushed with overwhelming force, Roman Dmitry turned the situation around with only 30 men. What can he get from this barren land after such a great work? If we are gracious beings, we must at least repay him for our gratitude by swearing allegiance."

Another one was Tersha.

"I agree with Gyro's opinion. Roman Dmitry not only defeated Graxxar, but also performed the miracle of reviving the World Tree. Mother Elf-sama described him as the savior, and my opinion, watching the situation from the side, is no different. Don't you know too? what the world tree is. From the moment we saved the World Tree, we have a duty to live for him."

Both arguments were strong.

finally.

meaning came together.

In fact, even if they didn't claim it, Roman Dmitry, who solved the Arcadia crisis, was worthy of an oath of allegiance.

Races other than humans and elves.

Yeti, beasts, trolls, etc., who survived the war, all agreed and decided to swear allegiance.

Then he met Roman Dmitry.

Looking down at the representatives of each race who swore allegiance, Roman Dmitry spoke of the future.

"Arcadia's top priority is to survive on its own. The elves who regained their vitality will be cultivated, and the labor will be shared by each race. Before solving the food problem in Arcadia, Dmitry will help you. By borrowing the power of the World Tree, we will set up a warp gate that connects Arcadia and Dmitry directly, and Arcadia can get what it wants in the form of providing labor, leaving behind basic support."

It wasn't blind support.

Roman Dmitry hoped to provide an environment where he could live by laying the groundwork for Arcadia.

North Sea Ice Palace.

They were the same.

They made their own way of living in a land that everyone had abandoned.

"Keep in mind. If it does not have the independence to live on its own, Arcadia will have no choice but to retreat."

"I will keep that in mind."

With that the meeting ended.

now really.

It was time to return to Dmitry.

next day.

Roman Dmitry was greeted by many different races, and he led his troops back over the endless mountain range.

* * *

while crossing the endless mountains.

Roman Dmitry received several calls from Dmitry.

[The situation in Odelia's Lawless Zone is getting worse day by day. As the royal family to control the people disappears, those in power seize power and cause riots in each region of Odelia. In the meantime, we have not been quick to move to deal with the aftermath of the war, but it seems that special measures are needed before the situation in Odelia has a profound effect on other countries.]

It had been reported before.

For once, I was watching Odelia's situation, but it seemed that the information guild had reached the limit of understanding.

The three kingdoms of southern Kronos.

Umberto, Redford, and Frank wished to hold a meeting on this matter.

And then contact us.

[As a result of investigating Isabel's whereabouts, the last traces were found in the Umberto Kingdom. There, after rearranging the soldiers' arms, it was confirmed that they had gone somewhere, but they could not find out further whereabouts.]

both of the previous reports.

This was the part I ordered before leaving Dmitry.

But it was surprising.

I heard that Isabel was definitely moving to stop the plot of the Kronos Empire, but why was it discovered in the Umberto Kingdom and not in Kronos?

This also required sufficient investigation.

Hao Mun, led by Lucas, had considerable power, but their intelligence was not absolute.

last contact.

This time, it wasn't Lucas, it was the report of Captain Jonathan.

[Two guests came from Valhalla. One is a man named Sanchez, and the other is Count Bragann. They both came as guests of the Valhalla Empire, but they seem to have different purposes.]

Sanchez.

Count Bragan.

What they meant was clear.

Sanchez was Morales' disciple, and he went to the Duke of Vieto on the advice of Roman Dmitry.

In short, he was a key figure in the current rebel army. Count Bragan, on the other hand, was a descendant of Emperor Valhalla.

Emperor Valhalla did not have a good relationship with Roman Dmitry, but he sent someone unexpectedly.

Lots of work to do.

A situation where many people are waiting for themselves.

Dmitry is.

No, the Salamander Continent needed Roman Dmitry.

* * *

Just like the report of Captain Jonathan.

Count Bragan, who visited Dmitry, showed signs of being quite impatient.

after. You are supposed to take on such a task."

lately.

Valhalla was engulfed in war.

The Duke of Vieto, who criticized the situation of Valhalla, and the Emperor of Valhalla, who did not allow any compromise, had a fierce confrontation, and it was Roman Dmitry who was mentioned as an important figure in the war.

Past and present.

Things have changed a lot.

At that time, Roman Dmitry was at risk of being attacked by the Kronos Empire, but the current Roman Dmitry was the head of the Kingdom Union.

The fact that Dmitry, Cairo, Hector, Umberto, Redford, and Frank went out at once from Roman Dmitry's orders was a variable that Valhalla had no choice but to be wary of.

Not only that.

Sanchez has a relationship with Roman Dmitry.

When Valhalla made the mistake of crossing the line, wasn't he on Roman Dmitry's side?

For that reason, Count Bragan was ordered.

"Convince Roman Dmitry somehow. At the very least, it should prevent him from joining the Duke of Vieto."

It was the order of Marquis Belfir.

It was a difficult task.

But it wasn't that he wasn't there.

Count Bragan was a master of negotiation, and was entrusted with full power for this task.

Because Roman Dmitry also lives in a world of power. I will not reject Valhalla's offer unconditionally.

The world said that the Duke of Vieto's rebellion could succeed, but the truth was that those in power knew it wasn't.

That was then.

"Roman Dmitry has arrived."

It was the report of the escort knight.

got up from his seat

I was going to meet Roman Dmitry right away, but I heard an absurd sound.

" I'm sorry, but it looks like we'll have to wait a bit. As soon as I got the report that I had arrived, I asked to meet, but I was told that I could not meet right away because I had an appointment."

Moment.

expression was distorted.

There were only two guests visiting Dmitry.

yourself and Sanchez.

Apparently, this negotiation seemed to have run into difficulties from the start.
