Roman Dmitry's People (6)

Gabriel's defeat.

Viscount Conrad's heart sank.

A reality that I had never thought of even when I was assigned to the same group as McBurney was unfolding before my eyes.

" No, this is not reality."

His voice trembled.

Gabriel is a three-star prosecutor.

I thought that the difference in aura alone would overwhelm the opponent, but McBurney's aura, like a candle swaying in the wind, did not disappear even when it collided with Gabriel's aura.

Something is definitely wrong.

I couldn't accept the fact that McBurney used an aura, that the aura blocked Gabriel's aura, or that a one-armed swordsman like McBurney defeated Gabriel with only swordsmanship.

'Alas.'

It felt like the world was falling apart.

this contest.

The pride of the Northeast Alliance was at stake.

Although he did not openly reveal his aspirations to win, people knew about the relationship between the Northeast Association and Roman.

'it's over. With this, the status of the Northeast Alliance will fall to the ground.'

The venue had a festive atmosphere.

Underdog's victory.

At first, the people who were noticing the Northeast Association, now they are openly talking about it.

"Roman Dmitry has completely overtaken me."

"The Northeast Association were just talkative guys. Roman sent out only six swordsmen, and the Northeast Association has sent out dozens of swordsmen, but they have never won a single victory against Roman."

"It's over. The area to the northeast belongs to the Dmitry family."

Their voices pierced my heart.

I wanted to scream loudly, even if it was my heart, but I was so shocked that I couldn't.

'Since when did the Dmitry family become so strong?'

6 inspectors.

Not a single one was weak.

Even though Gabriel didn't use his 3-star aura, he was defeated by McBurney, who was apparently the weakest.

If so, how strong are the swordsmen above them?

Chris was at a level he couldn't dare to approach, and he wasn't confident he could defeat Kevin and other prosecutors.

I got goosebumps.

Those six were not Dmitry's power, and they also had the Knights of Dmitry who had not yet participated.

Besides.

Roman Dmitry himself did not come forward.

It was a moment when I could feel how high the existence of the monster that had recently defeated Butler was.

'The Northeast Alliance has touched the monster. Being hostile to Roman Dmitry is a way to shorten your life. If you wage a war with monsters like that, you can never guarantee victory even if you borrow the power of the central government.'

It was according to Roman's plan.

Although he did not fight directly, Viscount Konrad realized the power of Dmitry.

" Viscount Conrad. How am I supposed to do this?"

A nobleman's question.

Viscount Conrad let out an annoyed voice.

"Do you really need to know something like that? we're done Since all the prosecutors of the Northeast Association have been eliminated, there is no reason for us to remain here like bridesmaids. So, let's get out of here."

complete defeat.

With Viscount Konrad in the lead, the aristocrats of the Northeast Association left the Ururu Stadium.

* * *

All competitions are over.

The result was a landslide victory for Dmitry.

Roman Dmitry, who only had 6 prosecutors, won 6 championships in 6 groups.

Rumors circulated.

Prosecutors who initially represented Roman Dmitry.

People who talked about how strong they were, came to a question.

by the way. Come to think of it, Roman Dmitry's swordsmen weren't that strong from the start. Although Chris was called Dmitry's genius swordsman, Kevin and the other five were the ones who couldn't even feel mana, let alone aura. Then we can arrive at this inference. The conclusion is not that their talent is great, but that Roman Dmitry who created them is great."

It was a plausible thing to say.

One time could be a coincidence.

Everyone would understand the development of a talent like Chris, but the development of other swordsmen who continuously awakened the aura was unacceptable to common sense.

Pooky and Volcan were common mercenaries on the battlefield, Kevin was just a slum boy, and Henderson was a farmer in Lawrence.

Finally, McBurney.

The one-armed swordsman even doubted whether he could wield the sword properly.

Apparently, ordinary people a year ago, following Roman to the Southern Front, became a completely different person.

Rumors were rife.

At some point, people started to be convinced.

"There is always a first swordsman in a prestigious swordsman family. A person with strong force enough to gain fame on the continent, and the ability as a leader to train the swordsmen who follow him. Roman Dmitry is just such a case. Born into a family that no swordsman knew, Roman Dmitry rose to the rank of ranker with only his own strength. Do you know what that means? It means that Roman Dmitry is the first swordsman who will lead the Dmitry family into a prestigious family. Following him, even a ghetto boy like Kevin can become a prosperous prosecutor, and the sooner he settles in Dmitry, the more secure his future will be."

It wasn't nonsense.

Families famous for their swordsmanship.

All of them had the first swordsman, and became famous like Roman Dmitry, and then began to be called a famous family.

Dmitry was no different.

Roman Dmitry.

It produced outstanding talents.

Not only was he good by himself, but he also proved his ability to nurture prosecutors under his command this time.

"The route of the people from the northeast will become clear in the future. If you want to succeed as a swordsman, you must swear allegiance to the Dmitry family."

Dmitry.

A blacksmith's family of low birth.

It was the moment when Dmitry's reputation, which even the same nobles did not recognize, began to change little by little.

After the contest is over.

Roman summoned his men.

"Everyone had a lot of trouble."

last month.

Everyone had a hard day.

There was no clear standard for the order to win the competition, and the subordinates who did not know how strong they had to be to win had no choice but to cling to their teeth for a month.

The result was an overwhelming victory.

Without a single crisis, they completely overwhelmed the prosecutors of the Northeast Alliance.

to them like that.

I had something I wanted to say.

"You guys decided to follow me for different reasons. Some people needed my strength, some admired me, and some swore allegiance because they had no other option. Actually, the reason doesn't really matter. Whatever the reason you guys made that choice, if it wasn't worth it, I wouldn't have accepted it in the first place.

told the truth

relationship by necessity.

When the other person said he needed it, Roman was willing to accept it if he found it worthwhile.

"I don't like complicated relationships. Human emotions that cannot be explained in words can lead to the so-called strong relationship, but I believe that a relationship that has something to give to each other is the ideal relationship that does not force one to sacrifice. You have something you want from me. We have actually achieved them, and we hope that our relationship will continue unwaveringly in the future. No matter how long time passes, I will always remain the person you long for."

Cheonma Baek Jung-hyuk.

It was like that time.

In order to survive in the world of weak and strong food.

They could not rely on human emotions, and they formed a solid relationship by giving and receiving certain benefits.

"Some of you may wonder why I say this. After swearing allegiance to me. I have heard that many people have doubts about their abilities. Some come from the slums, some have never wielded a sword, some have no arms. They undercut their own abilities, even when no one criticized them. So I told you my way. I appreciate your longing. If you were judged of no value as my people, even if you were a swordsman, you would not have been given the opportunity to swear allegiance to me. you are my chosen one I, Roman Dmitry, decided that your existence was necessary and accepted you."

relationship by necessity.

even if there is a cost.

If Roman made a decision to believe, he gave those people a firm belief.

"So, don't doubt yourself any more. Today's results prove your potential, and knowing that you will surely win, I laid the groundwork against the Northeast Alliance. From the first month before the competition was first mentioned until now, I never once doubted you, whoever participated."

Moment.

The faces of the servants were remembered.

Battle on the Southern Front.

His subordinates admired Roman even more because of that incident, but on the other hand, he thought that maybe Roman Dmitry was a person who could do everything on his own.

In the guerrilla battles in the mountains, Roman was not accompanied by anyone.

It means that you cannot trust anyone but yourself, and that remains a burden on your mind.

But now.

said trust.

The words that they had no doubts, the words that they needed them, made their subordinates feel overwhelmed.

eating.

Roman laughed.

the faces of the servants.

It was a spectacle.

Seeing everyone's hot faces trying to suppress their emotions, it wasn't a bad feeling.

"Finally, I will give you all 10 gold rewards and 3 days of vacation. I want you to fully enjoy what it means to be mine, both emotionally and materially."

at that word.

The servants could no longer contain their emotions.

Expressing the explosive emotions as they are, they cheered all at once.

Thank you!

"It is such an honor to have the Master!"

"I will be loyal for the rest of my life!"

Today is the day.

In order for his subordinates to express their emotions freely, Roman did not hide the laughter that appeared on his face.

* * *

next day.

Roman called Lucas.

"As a result of examining the dynamics of the Northeast Association, there seems to be no special movement. We met once after the convention, but we did not plan any other plans other than that the people of the association came and went. It is as expected of the lord. They gave up on confronting Dmitry due to the master's indirect experience in the tournament. Perhaps, until the opportunity arises, he will not rebel against what the Dmitrys are doing."

Viscount Conrad's mansion.

The servants who brought out the car and delivered the food, as a member of Haomun, passed on the information to Lucas as it was.

Northeast Association.

They raised a white flag.

However, Roman did not know that it was a temporary phenomenon.

"There is no perfect rule in the world. No matter how much Seonggun rules the country, those who oppose him will always have different ideas. In that sense, the Northeast Association can be said to be a necessary evil. People who walk a different path than me, who I do not like, will join the Northeast Alliance and build their own power. If it were you, how would you handle the Northeast Association?"

" To block a variable, I think it's right to wipe it out."

"It's not a bad way either. If there were enough talents and resources to replace the Northeast Association, I might have chosen that way. But now we don't have enough time. In a situation where we do not know when conflict with the central government will arise, we must minimize the sacrifices in the northeast area."

from the beginning.

Roman conceived the plan in stages.

Stage 1.

The Northeast Alliance was provoked.

Step 2.

face their reality.

So what is step 3?

"Lucas. Proceed to step 3."

Okay.

Lee Jae-yi (以夷制夷).

It means defeating barbarians with barbarians.

Contrary to the general meaning, Roman Dmitry was thinking of moving himself to the position of a barbarian.

with this operation.

The Northeast Association will rethink the existence of the Dmitry family.
