Fall of Kronos (4)

It was a gloomy space.

The Marquis of Memphis, who had entered the wide open space that no one was allowed to enter except Emperor Cronus, moved to the center like a man possessed.

There was a single, well-maintained parchment on the table. Actually, I've always wondered.

He was the only person who knew about the existence of the secret room, and there were many times when he wanted to ask what Emperor Kronos was doing here.

I instinctively caressed the parchment.

With no one to control him, he naturally read through the contents of the parchment.

[A very long time ago. The door to the world has been opened. The cold energy that came from it froze the world, and the disaster left in the world lasted forever. God said, someone who will take the place of God's will at any time will appear and solve the problems of this world. But if we miss that moment, the world will forever be thrown out of the abyss of despair.]

It was a trust.

As the Marquis of Memphis, I couldn't understand the content.

I didn't know Alexander's existence from the beginning, so I didn't know that the disaster left in the world meant Alexander.

I had a question. What does this trust mean?

What was Emperor Cronus, or even Alexander, trying to accomplish by repeating this content countless times?

That was then.

passus.

The parchment has changed.

The letters disappeared and were combined anew, revealing a different content than before.

[The disaster has become a reality. The gates of darkness will open. It is an unavoidable reality, and just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's nothing. Humans. Be on the lookout Be prepared. go crazy On the day when pitch black darkness falls upon the world, mankind will face unprecedented calamity.]

" A door of darkness."

Eyes fluttered.

dark door.

As I read the word, something popped into the mind of the Marquis of Memphis.

'devildom.'

Alexander accepted the power of darkness.

It means that they serve the rulers of the demon realm, and from generation to generation the gate of darkness meant the passage between the earth realm and the demon realm.

Then the meaning of the trust was clear. Alexander wanted to descend the Demon King.

If the dark beings were to come to this world, in fact, the confrontations in the past had no meaning.

All humans will die.

In the face of an unbearable disaster, even Roman Dmitry was nothing more than a human.

'This is rather an opportunity for me. As long as I can follow the trail of Alexander and meet the rulers of the Demon Realm, I can become the ruler of the new world in return for cooperating with them. Those who accepted Alexander would definitely decide that they needed help from the earthly world. I can be the second Alexander.'

His eyes gleamed with eagerness.

anyway.

It was the brink.

In a situation where he had no choice but to hide, he said that the oracle was clearly an unavoidable disaster.

The stuffy stomach seemed to have calmed down a bit now.

Thought it was all over, the Marquis of Memphis found an unexpected breakthrough.

However.

Hope didn't last long.

Bump.

"Marquis of Memphis! Law, Roman Dmitry has found the location of the secret room!"

article report.

At the sight of the knight speaking with a pale face, the Marquis of Memphis's heart sank.

* * *

The resistance of the knights was meaningless.

The knights who rushed to try to prevent them from entering somehow fell down, splattering blood without exchanging workshops a few times.

The floor was soaked with blood.

The knights had no choice but to be pushed back at the sight of their immobile colleagues, and in the end they were trapped in a closed room with no way out.

behind the knights.

The Marquis of Memphis trembled.

With a pale face and anxious eyes, he found a presence and his eyes suddenly shook.

bum bum.

"If you were going to run away, you should have gone further. Isn't that right, Marquis of Memphis?

Roman Dmitry.

That was him.

The blood froze cold.

The Marquis of Memphis was silent, unable to give any answer regarding the situation.

finished.

Roman Dmitry is an opponent who cannot guarantee survival even if he meets in a wide battlefield, but there was no room for him to escape in the secret room.

Anger and resentment swelled. Where the hell did it go wrong?

The supreme ruler who served Emperor Cronus himself was now pushed to the brink of a cliff.

That was then.

"Hey, I will surrender."

"We are just beings that do orders. I will surrender, so please save me."

Knights of Memphis.

They dropped their weapons.

Even though Roman Dmitry wasn't the first to suggest surrender, they looked at them and knelt down in unison and bowed their heads.

As the Marquis of Memphis, it was inevitable that he would be embarrassed.

With his face burning red with anger, the Marquis of Memphis shouted at the knights.

"How dare these guys! How did you, who received the grace of the Memphis family... ."

Shut up!

stopped talking

The knight turned his head, showing a face that showed no courtesy towards the person serving him.

"We have never been sincere with you. I don't want to die following a guy like you. So fuck, if you want to die, die alone. After all, we are only guilty of obeying orders."

I saw Roman Dmitry again.

He shook his head and complained of regret.

"As far as I know, I have heard that those who surrender have been spared. Give us a chance to make up for our mistakes. If you spare us, I will dedicate all of the Memphis family to Roman Dmitry."

"They are trash."

Yes ?"

Moment.

I was perplexed.

When he raised his head in response to the unexpected reaction, he saw Roman Dmitry looking down with cold eyes.

"The beings I give opportunities to are those who have nothing to do with this situation. Those who are forced to fight the battlefield are given a chance, but it is a different story for those of you who ran to the secret room to try to live alone. I do not reject the renegade. However, there is a time for apostasy."

"My, please have mercy Ouch!

flash.

blood splashed

When Roman Dmitry cut down the knight in front, the knights behind him hurriedly tried to rebel, picking up weapons that had fallen on the floor.

But it was just a meaningless rant.

Meanwhile, Chris and Kevin sprinted forward and blew their necks away before their opponent could even try.

Things were sorted out.

Only the Marquis of Memphis remained, and the parchment was visible in the sight of the Marquis of Memphis as he backed away.

"Row, Roman Dmitry! I offer you a deal!"

picked up a dagger

Suddenly, the parchment was torn apart.

It was messed up so that you could not see the contents inside, and looked at Roman Dmitry and said,

"In the parchment were written warnings of the dangers that would befall the world. if you save me I'll tell you everything I checked. Roman Dmitry. This is not just a threat. The dangers that have already materialized will not even be borne by you unless you prepare for them."

His voice trembled.

It was like catching straw.

Raising his dagger, he begged and begged in his heart that Roman Dmitry, please, accept this offer.

But he also knew.

Roman Dmitry.

"I don't need your help."

that there is no compromise.

Immediately, a cold voice pierced his ear.

"Capture the Marquis of Memphis. The Marquis of Memphis will be executed painfully, not here, but in the sight of all."

* * *

Dark clouds rolled in.

As the cool wind pushed away the smell of fishy blood, the people of Kronos who had been hiding in the house moved toward the square one by one.

The war is already over.

As the soldiers surrendered, it became known to the public, and Roman Dmitry said in the square that he would publicly declare an end to the war.

Kronos Square.

It was crowded with people.

In the space they were looking at, the leaders of Kronos, such as the Marquis of Memphis, were kneeling on the execution table.

It was then that I realized it. Kronos was defeated.

It was an unfamiliar sight for me, and then Roman Dmitry appeared through the crowd and stepped onto the execution table.

stand tall.

stopped walking.

looked down on people

Even though a large crowd was watching him, Roman Dmitry showed a presence that overwhelms them.

"I am here to declare that the war is over. The Kronos Empire has committed many evils in the meantime. The desires of figures such as Emperor Cronus and Alexander have colored the continent into darkness, and the wealth and glory you have enjoyed in the meantime has been made with the blood and tears of the people of other countries. I will change the foundation from now on. Kronos will no longer be able to live the same life as before."

it was a proclamation

Coercion, not persuasion.

People looked at me with trembling eyes.

He knew that reality would change because he had lost the war, but the change was not easy to accept.

"The country I want to create in the future follows clear laws. I will not reject you because you are from Kronos, and your personal feelings will not exist above the law. It is a system that no one can break. Even if I break the law, I will be punished in front of everyone."

raised his voice.

With the flow of change to come, Roman Dmitry spoke of a new world.

"If you want your life to be the same as before. get out of my shadow In the world that I will create anew on this earth, I have no intention of forcing you. But if you want to follow my system. Forget all the glory of the past. I will gladly accept you as my people, if you faithfully fulfill your role in your positions."

I was out of breath.

No one objected.

The great currents were forced to conform, and Roman Dmitry recognized that the new leader was.

he is.

said not to reject it.

He said that he would not punish Kronos for the evil he had committed, but that he would give him a chance to live as a new people.

The loser's words are tragic.

Although this situation may not be pleasing to beings who have lived under the influence of others in the existing power system, Roman Dmitry's remarks have given new hope to those who are always there, even if the world changes.

People are like that

They are neither good nor evil, just beings living the life they are given.

The plate was laid.

Now it was time to close the situation.

Roman Dmitry exclaimed.

"I will proceed with the execution from now on!"

* * *

Executions were carried out statically.

people cheering.

No one was sad.

While the people gathered in the square watched, those who had been put to death accepted their own death with tragic faces.

puck.

tuk.

Degururu.

On the blood-soaked floor, another head rolled on the floor.

He was an active follower of the Marquis of Memphis, and as a reward for allegiance, he was placed on this line of execution.

Executions were carried out in sequence.

As one man was dragged forward, he wept to death, and as soon as he blew his head off, another was mercilessly dragged out before the blood had dried out.

puck.

Puck, puck, puck.

It was the sound of death.

The executioner had already killed several people, but he continued his role with a humble face.

The era of Kronos was coming to an end.

Called Valhalla and the Yangdaesan Mountains, it is the most powerful country in the continent that produced Alexander, the creator of Aura.

People thought that the day would come when Kronos would conquer the continent someday, but it met a vain end to such an extent that its reputation was tarnished.

one two.

fewer people to be executed.

The headless corpse was busily moved under the execution table, and all of a sudden, only one Marquis of Memphis was left.

I shut my eyes tight.

Waiting for his turn, he accepted death.

He regretted ending his life like this, but he had no choice.

That was then.

Roman Dmitry said.

"The Marquis of Memphis was the person who directly communicated with Alexander and led the evil deeds of Kronos. He will not judge immediately. He will be chained to this execution table to reflect on the miserable reality countless times, and he will slowly wither and die in this space where everyone is watching. That is my punishment to the Marquis of Memphis."

"What!"

I shook my head.

this was not

He accepted death with difficulty, and Roman Dmitry punished him harshly.

"Just kill me! I am the one who ruled this country. Don't insult me, just blow my head off like everyone else!

shouted against evil.

OK.

Roman Dmitry looked down at him.

He squatted and made eye contact with the Marquis of Memphis, whispering in a quiet voice so that no one could hear him.

"There are two reasons why I don't kill you right away. The first is to give options to those who followed you, even though you didn't go to this execution table. If you come up with some kind of plan to save you from a space where everyone is watching, I will uproot them and destroy them all. But if they hold back their anger when given the opportunity, they won't dare show their teeth if another opportunity arises.

It was intentional.

open space.

By deliberately neglecting vigilance, he will make the Marquis of Memphis accessible to anyone who wills.

"The second is to keep people within reach of what they want to express their anger on. People have a lot of bad feelings towards you. If the people who are called the rulers of this country were not ruled by ugly desires, the people of Kronos would not have lost their families. If someone breaks the rules I have set and tries to harm you, I will use that existence as an example to prove who I am. But if the day comes when you die alone in this place, not by anyone, as the punishment I have given you... ."

laughed

That smile seemed like a demon to the Marquis of Memphis.

"This country will come completely under my control."
