The heavenly demon can't live a normal life chapter 403

Continental Conquest (2)

The gates were opened.

It was truly bloodless.

Looking at the soldiers of the Kingdom Union as they entered, the soldiers of the Kronos Empire looked anxious.

It was a gamble for them.

Herman's unconventional decision opened the gates as if being swept away by the current, but Roman Dimitri, who did not allow prisoners, thought that there might be a problem. fire

My mouth was dry in the middle.

The soldiers of Kronos, who had always lived in the position of the strong, had no choice but to be inconvenient to have to keep an eye on them.

On the contrary.

The kingdom union was proud.

It may have been that Kronos deliberately induced the trap, but he blindly trusted a being who was walking ahead.

'Roman Dimitri.'

he will do anything

Even if there are contingent variables.

Roman Dimitri was the one to solve all the problems.

stand tall.

stopped walking.

Roman Dimitri walked to a position where he could look down on everyone, and looked around at the ambiguity of the soldiers of the Confederation of Kingdoms and the Kronos Empire.

They didn't think of each other as friends yet.

Even if the white flag was raised, water and oil could not be mixed at once.

so that.

Roman Dimitri said.

I promised to spare those who surrendered. I will keep my promise. When we didn't know the truth about Kronos, we pointed our spears at each other, but when you found out the truth, you opened the gates and announced that you would surrender.

Moment.

Kronos' soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

When I said that I would keep my promise, I thought that I was alive.

"The days you will live as a member of the Kingdom Union will not be easy. During that time, the Kronos Empire has committed numerous atrocities that go beyond common sense. Cairo, Dimitri, and Umberto. These are the people who at one time have suffered from the atrocities of the Empire. Do you think they will accept you? They will not. Apart from my orders, you will live a life of destruction and discrimination and condemnation in the Kingdom Union. It's your reputation.

It was a miserable reality.

He heard the truth that people had been trying to ignore.

To make them aware of reality, he emphasized that the fall of Kronos was not simple.

But depending on what you do for us in the future, your reputation and my reward will be different. You have a chance to live. And from now on, I will give you a chance to change your life.

The atmosphere has changed.

future war.

The Kronos Empire will face a different situation than before.

I ask you. What can you do for me or for us?

fell into silence

No one was willing to answer.

Maekook (賣國).

For those who betrayed the country, it was not enough, it was a cruel suggestion to stick a knife in the back of their country.

looked at each other.

I didn't know what to do or what to do.

among them.

Only Hermann calmly judged the situation.

While others shut his mouth out of hesitation, he thought only of personal gain.

'Roman Dimitri's suggestion is not empty. People think he's harsh on his enemies, but in fact he's generous enough. The only beings he does not show mercy are the enemies he encounters on the battlefield. When given the opportunity to show mercy like today, I have no prejudice against those who win it. People like Count Fabius and the Northeast Association currently belonging to the Kingdom of Dimitri are examples of who Roman Dimitri is.'

He's a soldier.

He was very interested in the situation on the continent.

In particular, since he studied Dimitri intensively, he boldly made the choice to betray at the crossroads of choice.

I knew that it was the only way I could live.

And now.

An example such as Count Fabius eliminated even the slightest hesitation about betrayal.

He was once a follower of the Marquis of Benedict, but as he daringly changed course, he was classified as a key figure in Dimitri.

Count Fabius was a great man.

It was an individual's ability to change the owner and receive it in moderation, but Roman Dimitri, who casually accepted a human like a bat, was also amazing.

That was the precedent.

precedent proved it.

That the gold line has now come down in front of my eyes.

When people hesitated, Hermann took a step forward and raised his voice.

My name is Hermann. May I say something?

Tell me.

Since we betrayed Kronos, for us, the Kingdom Alliance must win the war. I will lead the war in the future. I will inform Kronos' soldiers that they have a choice, and I will use myself as an example to persuade them. Please give me enough money to give me life. Then people will see Dimitri's mercy as much as they treat me, and Dimitri's tolerance will make things easier.

Nangzhongjichu (囊中之錐).

The presence came out of nowhere.

Although he was only an ordinary soldier, Hermann proved his worth with the words he had just said.

That's an interesting proposition.

he is.

It was similar to Count Fabius.

He made a quick decision depending on the situation, and justified the act of betrayal that could be perceived as mean.

Of course, the condition was revealed his desire.

However, as when he accepted Count Fabius, Roman Dimitri preferred beings who freely expressed their desires.

when they need each other.

Relationships are about to get stronger.

Hermann was now a man who looked only to be in his early twenties, but Roman Dimitri didn't judge a man by his age.

I promise you.

laughed

He spoke in a clear voice, as if everyone were to listen.

If you have earned enough merit on the battlefield. In the new Dimitri, you will gain power.

A few days have passed since then.

At the news of the defeat that was slowly arriving, the Marquis of Memphis could not hide his firm expression.

The Eastern Front has completely collapsed. Since the front-line defenses have opened their gates, more and more soldiers have surrendered after them. The matter is not simple. As it turns out that Alexander is behind the empire, take pride in yourself. Dunn's soldiers have lost their will.

betrayal of soldiers.

It wasn't just because of fear.

It is true that Roman Dimitri's name had a significant influence, but if they did not know about Alexander's existence, there would have been many who would fight to the end.

Emperor Alexander.

Although his reputation was tarnished by the new swordsmanship revolution, the history he made was the pride and pride of the people of Kronos.

The fact that the aura originated from Emperor Alexander.

People have said that Kronos had solid roots as an empire, but the ugly truth revealed this time shocked everyone.

The pride of the empire.

He chose an ugly life.

He abandoned his sword and learned black magic, and reached the powerful state of the 9th circle, but it was not glorious at all.

Everyone looked smart.

Alexander used magic to summon the dead, and seeing the situation in the past, Emperor Kronos was nothing more than a puppet that moved according to Alexander's orders.

What a terrible truth this is.

Considering that the country was led by a wicked man who learned black magic, the soldiers had no choice but to lose their will.

abandoned the weapon

I couldn't find any reason to risk my life.

In the sense of helplessness that spread throughout the Kronos Empire, all of the tribes that Roman Dimitri was advancing raised a white flag.

Marquis, please give the order.

subordinate said eagerly.

The Marquis of Memphis shook his head.

It was frustrating.

He thought of Alexander as a golden string and grabbed it, but things went awry when he was defeated.

Alexander is dead.

Emperor Kronos had been living as a puppet all this time, so he couldn't believe it, and he couldn't think of a way to calm the people apart from himself to be able to bear him when he went to war against Roman Dimitri.

Alexander was convinced of his victory and made his presence known.

It would have been easier if he had died quietly, but he made an irreversible mistake.

'Damn it, Alexander.'

I couldn't get it out of my mouth.

If it turns out that he is aware of Alexander's existence, he will not be able to survive.

It was a complicated matter.

With ties to the emperor severed, the Marquis of Memphis had to solve many problems in order to remain in power.

Dimitri, the public sentiment, and even the backlash of other nobles.

In the meantime, he used the background of the emperor to suppress the opposition of the nobles, but it was clear that his position would be in jeopardy after a few days.

I pondered for a while.

yet.

The Marquis of Memphis stood up.

Prepare the carriage. I will go to the Imperial Palace right now.

only one.

There was only one solution for himself.

that time.

It was the same with Valhalla when the lights went out.

They had stopped attacking.

After biting back the soldiers who were attacking Hector, the leaders of Valhalla gathered for a heated meeting.

The public sentiment of the people of Valhalla is not good. As it was revealed that Emperor Alexander used black magic, a negative public opinion is being formed about him. If Valhalla declares that he will continue to cooperate with Kronos until the end. Valhalla. His people will not stand still.

That's right. The people of Valhalla aren't farmers or farmers. They've already overturned the country once, so it won't be difficult to do the same thing over and over again. From now on, we must judge wisely. was to execute Roman Dimitri, who killed Emperor Valhalla. Only by stating that fact and cutting off Kronos can the people's wrath be quelled.

actually.

They knew the truth.

It was a public fact that Count Snowdin led the country to commit treason, but they kept their mouths shut at the thought that if they made a mistake, they could turn into an arrowhead.

Everything had to be put on the responsibility of the Kronos Empire.

Maintaining a relationship with them was like revealing one's own weaknesses.

The problem wasn't just that.

I don't know how to deal with this situation. If we continue the war like this, our relationship with Kronos will be questioned, and if we give up, we will leave Roman Dimitri alone, who killed Emperor Valhalla. We cannot fight a war independently of Kronos. In a situation where the empire's national power was greatly weakened from the rebellion and subsequent wars, how would you deal with the monster that defeated the 9th circle wizard Alexander. There is no answer, the answer. From now on, the moment you make a mistake, We cannot guarantee our lives.

It was a dilemma.

whether to go to war

either give up

All had problems.

And for those who knew the truth, I knew how dangerous it would be to give up like this, even if it was criticized by people.

Roman Dimitri confirmed the truth.

If he took down the Kronos Empire and gained a say, it was clear that the Valhalla Empire would suffer an irreparable blow.

The continent was changing.

this problem.

How you solve it will determine your future power.

At that moment when people who could not give up their greed raised their voices, the man on the other side opened his mouth.

I don't understand. If we give up Kronos and actively cooperate to uncover the truth claimed by Roman Dimitri, the continent will change, but the Valhalla Empire can survive.

He was Baron Airn.

last meeting.

He, who had been harshly criticized for speaking once, calmly accepted the gaze of the top officials and smiled.

I'm just saying, is there anyone out of these that is directly related to the Kronos Empire or Emperor Alexander?

This person!

Don't be rude!

Everyone was furious.

If he acknowledged Baron Airn's words.

It was a situation in which he could be driven into a maknae-no.

Baron Airne's eyes turned cold at the sight of the people who protested violently.

Why are you reacting so passionately? I sincerely hope that none of you who lead Valhalla have anything to do with this. Only then will I be able to send my guests safely.

Are you a guest?

What is that...

That was then.

kkiik.

The door to the conference room opened.

At the same time, the knight of Valhalla raised his voice.

Count Fabius of Dimitri enters.

Fabius.

And Kevin and the soldiers who followed as an escort.

As a group of people entered, the faces of the Valhalla leaders turned pale as if they had seen a ghost.
