chicken game (9)
Marquis Belfir was completely frozen.
The words Roman Dmitry had uttered completely took over his head.
"You will meet me."
finally.
became a reality.
Valhalla insisted not to back down until the very end, and the result was now facing Roman Dmitry.
It felt like the accident had completely stopped.
Like a herbivore in front of a predator, the Marquis Belfir, who is called the most powerful in Valhalla, couldn't even breathe.
That was then.
The hiccuping leader who criticized the Emperor Valhalla hurriedly knelt toward Roman Dmitry.
"Hey, if you could save me just once ."
puck.
head flew away
Before he could even utter a word, a round object rolling on the floor caught people's attention.
Fear spread.
From the moment I was left in the conference room, I knew that I was going to die, but when I saw it with my own eyes, the top executives kicked their seats and ran away.
But the Marquis Belfir did not move at all.
Instinctively, he knew that none of the beings who ran out to survive would survive.
just as expected.
flash.
"Great!"
Screams erupted from all sides.
The first to escape fell to the floor like a puppet with a broken thread, and the other beings screamed as their body parts were cut off one by one.
There were many aura swordsmen among the leaders of Valhalla.
They took it for granted to train themselves to be worthy of their reputation as a land of warriors, but they did not dare to stand up to Roman Dmitry with their skills.

two people.
corpses piled up
Roman Dmitry grabbed the hair of one of the chieftains and beheaded him in front of the Marquis of Belfir.

"Cruckle."
asked for a blood bubble.
Seeing him fall down by grabbing his neck, Marquis Belfir trembled and looked at Roman Dmitry.
"I told you. If you show such an easygoing attitude, you will meet me."
" A monster, a monster."
squatted down
He faced the Marquis of Belfir right in front of him.
"It's really interesting that people are proud of themselves. Even though it was clearly the right thing to do to defend the North, knowing that apologizing for the Valhalla festival would be the most peaceful way for Valhalla. You turned away from reality and kept your heads up until the very end. That must have been the way to protect Valhalla's status. It must have been difficult for Valhalla, the two major mountain ranges of the continent, to bow their heads against a weak country like Dmitry."

grabbed the hood.
The Marquise Belfir, who was fussing in surprise, couldn't find the confidence she had seen through the magic communicator.
"So it's like this. If only once had you compromised with reality. If you had escaped from your complacency and accepted the reality that Dmitry had risen to a new power, you would not have become like this."
Nodding, nodding.
" uh, uh."
swallowed a moan
The grip on the lower tube was twisting the jawbone, and it seemed as if the lower tube was about to break at any moment.
Ominous thoughts took over my mind. Thinking that I might die like this, I felt my lower body getting wet.
It was a humiliation.
It was embarrassing.
But to feel such human emotions, I was completely overwhelmed by Roman Dmitry's presence.
By the way.
widely.
let go of the tube
At the moment when a deep breath filled his lungs, Marquis Belfir hurried back without even having time to calm his breath.
"Marquis Belfir. The wealth and wealth you enjoyed is not that great. The price you paid for the achievements that you did not completely with your own abilities, but with the help of Emperor Valhalla, is only this much. Look around you. What were the words of those who cried out for allegiance to the imperial family. If you think about it, it's a simple matter. When Valhalla's 14th son ascended to the throne, you were just an unpredictable nobleman like everyone else. Therefore, you are easily abandoned."
Tosagupin.
It was not a matter of expressing it in such words.
The Marquis of Belfir, who could not even become a hunting dog, was insignificant to the Emperor Valhalla.
Also, Marquis Belfir.
knew it
As his pupils shook sharply at the disastrous truth, Roman Dmitry looked out of the conference room.
Tata Tak.
far away
I heard people running.
They turned their attention to the Dark Cloud for a while, but they were flocking here to report that the Imperial Palace had been attacked.
if time was delayed.
It was dangerous for himself.
Now that he confirmed the fact that the power of Emperor Valhalla was stronger than revealed, there was no reason to take any more risks.
"Marquis Belfir."
laughed
Looking down at the Marquis of Belfir, Roman Dmitry said.
"Emperor Valhalla has abandoned you, but I will show you mercy. Last chance. If the day comes when you and I meet again for this reason, it will make you regret that you are still alive."
at that word.
Marquis Belfir raised his head in haste.
I closed my eyes tightly with a foreboding of death, but an unexpected answer came back.
By the way.
No matter how much he looked around, Roman Dmitry was nowhere to be seen.
* * *
30 minutes later.
Roman Dmitry joined the main unit again.
After evading Marine's pursuit, they moved to a small teleportation magic circle that had been prepared outside of the Marine.
A wizard using teleport.
Knox said with a pale complexion.
" From now on, such an operation will be unconditionally stopped. Without magical devices like warp gates, moving just one or two people would require tremendous power. Even though I had just used mana stones like that, I almost failed to teleport because of lack of strength. Lord. The lord is no longer the heir to the baron family. As you will become the king of a country, you need to take care of yourself."
this operation.
It would have been impossible if the teleport had not been prepared locally.
Even with such preparations, the development of the upper-level battle barely managed to handle the complex magic system of teleporting, and after twists and turns, the teleport to and from the marine was completed without any problems.
In fact, there were many difficulties while conducting the operation.
Because it was such a difficult magic, people actively used the warp gate.
suddenly.
Knox asked curiously.
"But did you really need to do this? It was impossible to assassinate Emperor Valhalla from the start."
Valhalla.
An empire was an empire for a reason.
Even a nonsensical person named Roman Dmitry failed to assassinate, and Valhalla was practically not harmed by this operation.
About the soldiers who died while dealing with Roman Dmitry and the leaders of Valhalla.
In fact, considering that Valhalla was acting according to the will of the emperor, the death of the leaders had no special meaning.
Roman Dmitry said.
"The purpose of this operation was not from the beginning the life of Emperor Valhalla."
" What do you mean?"
Knox didn't really know the strategy.
With questioning eyes, Roman Dmitry shifted his gaze to Marine.
"Anxiety that even the Valhalla Empire is not safe and distrust towards the Valhalla Emperor. Even if the Valhalla retain their existing power system in this uprising, they will no longer be the same."
* * *
Valhalla Imperial Palace.
Things were settled there.
People were busy moving around, picking up the bodies, turning on the lights in their eyes and searching around.
Roman Dmitry had already fled the castle and out of the castle.
Still, thinking that there might be a danger left, he mobilized all the troops the Valhalla imperial family had and searched the area like a scavenger.
meeting room.
Survivors, including the Marquis of Belfir, gathered there.
The corners of Marquis Belfir's eyes trembled as he looked around in the place where the bloodstains still remained.
' Damn it.'
he lived
However.
It wasn't even alive.
Meanwhile, he lived for Valhalla.
Even though Emperor Valhalla was a madman called a tyrant, he believed it was right for him to be loyal to him.
That was natural. Because Valhalla's power was absolute.
As long as he was parasitized by Emperor Valhalla, he firmly believed that his power would last forever until the moment of his death.
But not now.
The Imperial Palace was attacked.
There are many people who do not even dare to face the Emperor Valhalla, let alone hostile them, but Roman Dmitry went in and out of the Imperial Palace like his own bedroom and slaughtered the people.
It was as he said.
He realized that he would meet if he reacted easily, and he seemed to be playing with himself.
Whereby.
The unchanging truth has collapsed.
The belief that Emperor Valhalla would be absolute was torn to pieces by a monster named Roman Dmitry.
first.
It was the effect of anxiety.
If Valhalla could not guarantee the safety of the Marquis of Belfir, he had no choice but to think differently.
'The reason Roman Dmitry kept me alive must have some purpose. It must have been intended to divide the relationship between Emperor Valhalla and me through distrust. the problem is As he said, is it worth trusting the Emperor Valhalla? Emperor Valhalla is no longer absolute, and for him who brutally abandoned us in a crisis situation, he can no longer have the same heart as before. And above all else.'
"How did you live?"
Emperor Valhalla.
he asked coldly.
Far from saying hello to the fact that he was alive, he didn't like the existence of the survivors very much.
distrust.
Distrust was created in each other.
As if Marquis Belfir's heart was not what it used to be, the fact that Roman Dmitry had killed all the other chieftains but left the nobility, including Marquis Belfir, was disturbing in the eyes of Emperor Valhalla.
Marquis Belfir said.
" I was lucky. In the face of the imperial forces attacking, he seems to have prioritized evacuation."
"If that is true. I was really lucky."
if.
If the Emperor Valhalla was truly displeased with the Marquis of Belfir.
He would have killed him just because it was annoying.
However.
I didn't.
To the Emperor Valhalla, the Marquis of Belfir was not worth it.
There was no reason to waste manpower right now to deal with one ant cub that could be killed at any time.
The Marquis Belfir was a good dog.
If you die, you die; if you bark, you bark. Now that there are a lot of situations that need to be sorted out in the future, if he killed even the Marquis of Belfir, the Emperor Valhalla had no choice but to be bothered.
said Emperor Valhalla.
"Roman Dmitry dared to attack the capital of Valhalla and take my life. As he said, he will try to do as much damage as possible to Valhalla without backing down. Recover your troops We will have a minimal force left to capture Hernard, and the rest will focus on dealing with Roman Dmitry."
he.
I finally broke my pride.
If it was enough to attack the capital of Valhalla, it was impossible to predict what Roman Dmitry would do next.
A fierce game of chicken.
Its winner was Roman Dmitry.
" I will obey your orders."
"I will obey your orders."
The Marquis Belfir and the leaders bowed their heads.
Their faces, which the emperor's gaze did not reach, were nowhere near as obedient as before.

At that time, Hernard.
The end was in sight.
The influx of emperors showed no signs of dwindling, and the wall no longer did its job.
finished.
Sanchez saw the Duke of Vieto as he cut down on the advancing enemy.
Sorry. I raised an army because of me... I'm really sorry.
this revolt.
It was led by the Duke of Vieto, but in fact, if we look at the starting point, it started when Sanchez persuaded the Duke of Vieto.
Sanchez felt hopeless and sorry at the same time.
If the Duke of Vieto had remained a hermit, he would not have died as a traitor in his later years.
quack.
Paba Bak.
Halberd wiped out the enemy.
Duke Vieto let out a rough breath with a blood-drenched face.
"Kill at least one more bastard in your bullshit time. The war is not over yet."
1 hour ahead?
2 hours?
It won't last 3 hours at most.
Right now, warriors like Duke Vieto are showing their limits, but if they start to fall one by one, then they are bound to collapse rapidly.
The Duke of Vieto and Sanchez knew this.
So, before it completely collapses, I wanted to kill at least one more person when I had the strength.
That was then.
suddenly from afar.
A strange sound was heard.
boo-
Boo woo woo-
It was a horn sound.
Those who knew the system of Valhalla knew the meaning of the sound.
"Hey, what is this?"
"Leave, this is an order to retreat!"
It was clear.
The horn ordered the retreat.
At first, the emperor's army, who did not understand the situation, seemed to be in a dilemma, but as the soldiers under the fortress wall were escaping like the ebb and flow, I realized that a real retreat had been ordered.
It was an embarrassing situation.
The Duke of Vieto, who had arranged the soldiers on the wall, looked at the emperor's troops retreating and showed a bewildered expression.
" What is this?"
no matter what you think
His common sense could not understand the situation in front of him.
