End of Civil War (5)

a few days ago.

Reports of a successful rebellion were quite surprising.

If you look at the objective power alone, it is normal for the rebellion of the Marquis Belfir to fail.

It was questionable. Had it been a successful operation by bribing the guards and taking drugs from the imperial soldiers in advance?

As Roman Dmitry, who had directly experienced Emperor Valhalla, he was able to assert the answer to that question.

'impossible.'

It's not a simple feeling.

information obtained so far.

Based on accurate data, the rebellion of the Marquis of Belfir should have ended by consuming the power of the imperial family.

By the way.

How could the rebellion be successful?

Roman Dmitry came up with three hypotheses for this absurd situation.

at first.

'If the power of the Valhalla imperial family was weaker than expected, the Marquis of Belfir's surprise attack might have worked.'

really if.

The madness of the Emperor Valhalla was actually a bluff to hide his weakness, and if what Roman Dmitry experienced was the history of the Emperor Valhalla, this result could have been possible.

Of course, the credibility is very low.

On the day he was already ascending to the throne, Emperor Valhalla showed overwhelming power.

All those who experienced the events of that day were terrified, and this created the basis for the politics of terror.

The power of Emperor Valhalla is real.

Roman Dmitry's own experience was also a reaction that couldn't come from a person with a shallow bottom.

Then the second hypothesis was weighted.

'If he was abandoned by something that gave him strength, he can understand the circumstances of the defeat of Emperor Valhalla.'

This was the strongest hypothesis.

While adding credibility to the mysterious power, it was also possible to explain why the Emperor Valhalla, who had built an overwhelming power, collapsed in vain.

The question is, why did the mysterious power that gave power abandon the Emperor Valhalla?

According to what the Marquis of Belfir said was the truth of Valhalla, the power of the Emperor Valhalla came from the previous emperor.

Appointing his 14th son as his successor, he boosted power and made him rise to the throne through a radical process of rebellion.

The reason for the choice is unknown.

sure thing is.

There was no reason for the inherited power to come and abandon the Emperor Valhalla.

Considering the future of Valhalla, such a stipulation of a successor from the beginning did not make sense, but it was doing its job well enough to be a choice for the downfall of Valhalla.

None of the hypotheses were true.

I changed my mind.

As people once said, Kronos may have been behind Emperor Valhalla.

'That also doesn't make sense.'

If Kronos supported the Emperor Valhalla.

If it's a puppet that moves according to Alexander's intentions.

There's no reason to throw it away.

No matter how favorable the rebels were, it was in the interest of the Kronos Empire to somehow keep the Emperor Valhalla alive and bring him under their control.

And if this were true, it could not be explained why the Kronos Empire did not participate in the war.

Saving the Emperor Valhalla would always be beneficial to the Kronos Empire, but by neglecting them, only their own limbs were cut off.

last third.

It was the possibility of a trap.

They could disguise themselves as death and do something, but it was really pointless.

Emperor Valhalla's power derives from overwhelming power, and his choice to overthrow the forces based on the reign of terror did nothing to him.

And the Marquis of Belfir went through a certain verification process in this regard.

Since it was an important issue for him, he proved to everyone that his opponent was Emperor Valhalla.

finally.

There was no perfect answer.

From start to finish.

Now that the 14th son has died from the moment he ascended the throne, everything is stained with questions.

"Things are going to be fun."

laughed

A very contingent situation.

If the Marquis of Belfir succeeded in the rebellion, he had sketched out how he would react at that time.

I didn't know the results would come true.

Roman Dmitry admits he wasn't expecting as much this time, but he had no intention of being swept away by the changes on the battlefield teeming with variables.

A variable that changes the situation.

It was something I had experienced countless times in my previous life.

called the soldier.

Then.

"Connect the magic communication to the Duke of Vieto."

In line with the situation, a new operation was put into action.

present again.

A familiar sight reappeared.

A few days ago, Emperor Valhalla was hanged on the execution table, this time the Marquis of Belfir was awaiting execution.

His face turned pale.

In a situation where people flocked in, he shouted with an earnest voice.

"Bee, Duke of Vieto! I don't know what you're misunderstanding, but it's not. It's also a treason. I killed the monstrous tyrant Emperor Valhalla with my own hands. This is what the Duke of Vieto was also hoping for, but why do you call me a traitor, who achieved everyone's wish! First of all, please untie this first."

The rope squeezed the neck.

Belfir's soldiers were also around, but they couldn't draw their sword to save the Marquis of Belfir.

Roman Dmitry.

he was holding on

Because there was a being who made the capital of Valhalla devastated by his own strength, the soldiers and guards only looked at each other and couldn't move forward.

It was an unavoidable situation.

In a situation where the Duke of Vieto put forward the cause of treason, there was no reason to help if he could not explain it.

enough people have gathered.

The Duke of Vieto ignored the Marquis of Belfir and raised his voice towards the people.

"From now on, I will tell you about the crimes of Marquis Belfir. At that time, when Valhalla suffered from the emperor's tyranny, the Marquis of Belfir was a follower of the Emperor Valhalla. He, like Emperor Valhalla, destroyed many parts of Valhalla. It was the Marquis of Belfir who, ignoring the noble confrontation of the warriors, led Roman Dmitry's assassination when he was invited to the Valhalla festival.

"That can be explained! As a person taking orders... ."

"Shut your mouth."

q

"Turn it off, turn it off!"

The soldier covered his mouth from behind.

The Marquis of Belfir opened his eyes and tried to appeal somehow, but the Duke of Vieto didn't care.

"Now, I will tell you the contents of the magical communication the Marquis Belfir sent to Roman Dmitry."

beep.

[I will tell you my thoughts straight-forward. I'm Roman Dmitry... I would like to share that intention and talk about the future. Of course, I am well aware that I am not a desirable person. But I am sure that conversation with me will definitely benefit Dmitry.]

It was about communication.

As the conversation progressed, the faces of the people became harshly distorted.

It was good to lead the revolt.

If he had been a rebel force from the start, he would have applauded his life-threatening move.

"The Marquis of Belfir, when the situation was not good, immediately contacted Roman Dmitry and offered to join the rebellion. As you might expect, I have collaborated with Roman Dmitry to plan this rebellion. Although one might criticize the fact that he brought in outside forces into Valhalla's affairs, Roman Dmitry, who proved his worth as a warrior at the festival of Valhalla, thought he deserved to intervene in Valhalla's work. He risked his life for us. With the goal of setting Valhalla on the right path, he expressed his willingness to help. But what about the Marquis of Belfir? He condemned and criticized the rebels and Roman Dmitry until the end, but for his own safety, he betrayed the Emperor Valhalla. Until now, Valhalla had fallen on the road to ruin due to minions like Belfir, but he killed the emperor he served and took care of only his own successor, not the future of Valhalla."

I put a belt on my neck.

Valhalla.

Respect the pride of the warrior.

More than Roman Dmitry, who had harmed the soldiers of Valhalla, he hated the Marquis of Belfir, who hung around like a bat.

expression changed.

Everyone was angry.

The Marquis of Belfir was no different from the Emperor Valhalla.

The fact that he was also a representative of the history of Valhalla, which was eventually tainted with darkness, all showed a sympathetic reaction.

quack.

"Great."

I asked for the hand that covered my mouth.

When his mouth became more comfortable, the Marquis Belfir shouted loudly.

"Hey you bastard! You and I have started the same rebellion, so why do you dress up as if you were the only righteous apostle! I am the hero who killed the Emperor Valhalla. I have succeeded in rebelling, but I cannot accept this situation that makes me a traitor. Follow me! Follow me, slay the Duke of Vieto!"

his words.

It was just a meaningless rant.

No one agreed.

That was then.

As soon as Marquis Belfir met his gaze with Roman Dmitry, a familiar voice was heard in his ear.

[Marquis Belfir. You will die in this place today, denying all your achievements during your lifetime. And the blood relatives of the rebels will be brutally killed. That is the gift I promised to give you the day we meet again.]

Roman Dmitry laughed.

I got goosebumps.

I opened my eyes.

The moment Marquis Belfir was about to shout something, he felt his feet go numb.

tung.

"Cuckoo, clap!"

execution was carried out.

The rope squeezed the neck.

The Marquis of Belfir wanted to say one more last time, but he couldn't utter a word due to the suffocating pressure.

I stumbled on my feet.

He showed an obsession with life with a red-hot face.

However.

It was just a pointless rant.

finally.

" Crackle."

The Marquis of Belfir, who was once the most powerful of Valhalla, also met the same end as the Valhalla Emperor.

* * *

Things were sorted out.

a separate seat.

The Duke of Vieto looked at Roman Dmitry and said.

"Valhalla has been greatly blessed. Without the help of Roman Dmitry, the rebellion would not have succeeded."

It was sincere.

Only 20,000 troops.

It was an insufficient number to overthrow the Emperor Valhalla, and knowing that, those who followed the Duke of Vieto risked their lives for this event.

However, the result miraculously ended in a victory for the rebels.

A series of circumstances that incited the people of Valhalla, mobilized the Imperial forces, and threatened even the Marquis of Belfir to attack the Emperor Valhalla had to be acknowledged.

It was perfect.

Even if the Duke of Vieto was the emperor of Valhalla, he was not confident enough to stop Roman Dmitry.

Roman Dmitry said.

"We just kept our promises to each other. Duke Vieto has also fulfilled his promise, so thanking you is enough."

A deal with the Duke of Vieto.

There were two conditions.

If the revolt succeeds.

It was a public apology for the future friendly relations with Valhalla and what had happened at the Valhalla Festival.

If the former is a promise to keep gradually, the Duke of Vieto went beyond an open apology to show respect for Roman Dmitry.

This changed the way people looked at Roman Dmitry.

He was truly ashamed of Valhalla's actions and expressed his gratitude towards Roman Dmitry.

Gearco.

Roman Dmitry achieved everything he had hoped for.

In addition, by treating the Marquis of Belfir, all feuds remaining in Valhalla were completely removed.

It was a satisfactory achievement.

Originally, he would have stepped down as it is, but Roman Dmitry's mind has changed.

"I have a favor for you."

"Just speak. If it is possible in my power, I will do anything for the benefactor."

It wasn't empty words.

Duke Vieto showed his eyes full of sincerity, as if he would confiscate even his own wealth.

But.

"I want to enter the Southern Grave."

The moment he heard the contents of the request, a crack appeared in Duke Vieto's expression.

* * *

Moment.

I lost my words.

Southern Graveyard.

It was a sensitive place.

It is located in the southern jungle, which can be said to be the origin of the Valhalla Empire, and the emperors of Valhalla were all buried in the southern tombs after their death.

The intention to go there was clear.

It was to check the records of the previous generations that were buried with the corpses of the Valhalla emperors.

Duke Vieto showed signs of trouble.

" I'd love to hear from you, but entering the Southern Grave is another matter. It's not that Roman Dmitry isn't qualified. Outsiders are usually not allowed to enter, but Roman Dmitry went beyond the status of a simple outsider by proving his qualifications as a warrior at the festival of Valhalla."

that also.

I knew Roman Dmitry's intentions.

It was to confirm the records related to Emperor Valhalla, but this was not a matter of his permission and horseback.

"You have to pass a 'test' to enter the Southern Grave. The warriors of Valhalla, and a minority of the southern jungles. You have to openly accept the challenge against them, and you'll have to survive a whopping week in one-on-many confrontation before you can set foot in the Southern Grave. Of course, there is no doubt about the power of Roman Dmitry. But the southern jungle minorities are not common sense. And the dark elves will not be allowed to enter the tomb either."

Southern minorities.

dark elf.

They were the ones I had only heard of.

Roman Dmitry laughed.

"It is my job. If you make a plate, I will not hold you responsible for the situation after that."

" Hmmm."

swallowed a moan

this day.

Roman Dmitry produced the best results, but he felt the need to unravel the secrets of Emperor Valhalla.

The Marquis of Belfir clearly stated that the official document had designated the 14th Prince as his successor.

It is not known how he identified the document, but it is likely that the tomb contains relevant material.

I pondered for a while.

Duke Vieto thought over and over again with a frown on his forehead, and then spoke with a determined expression on his face.

Okay. Tomorrow I will declare the test of the warrior to the people."

next day.

Warrior's Trial.

The news that the ceremony was being discussed only in legends shocked the whole of Valhalla.
