They were pushed to the edge of a cliff.

He wanted to accept the favor at all costs, but he had doubts about the fact that his opponent was Roman Dmitry.

'Roman Dmitry is now wrapping his intentions with plausible stories. Can't we just ignore it because it's just in the northeast area? Nonsense! If Earl Douglas and the Northeast Alliance collide, the power that will benefit the most will be Dmitry, so there is no reason to engage in a muddy battle.

It was a commonsense suspicion.

I don't know if there wasn't any conflict in the past, but right now, just a few days ago, didn't each other blush?

In my mind, I wanted to ask the intention.

However, I couldn't make a hasty mistake because I thought that the possibility would disappear if I did.

Now is not the time for us to shut up.

I swallowed my doubts.

Viscount Conrad said with the feeling of catching straw.

In the meantime, the Northeast Association and Dmitry did not have a good relationship. In fact, for Dmitry, it must have been quite natural. Whenever there was a riot in the northeast area, the Northeast Association took the side of Barco, and in that way, each other's bad feelings piled up one after another. I will not deny the fact that relations with Dmitry have deteriorated especially recently. But we need help now. Even if it's a really ignorant request, I'm willing to do anything if you promise to help us and forget our bad ties. So tell us what attitude we should have.

Complex calculations are discarded.

I thought simply.

If you go to war with Earl Douglas.

I can't handle the situation after that anyway.

If that was the case, it would have been more beneficial to bring in the Dmitry family and plan for the future.

Roman s sincerity doesn t matter. If he holds our hand for whatever reason, we can minimize the damage in the war against Earl Douglas. If you can do that, even if you are attacked by Dmitry immediately after the war, you can afford it. Now is not the time to talk about pride.

profit and loss were counted.

Rather than shouting loudly, bowing your head was a lot more business.

How would Roman Dmitry respond?

Because he was still young, he felt like he had won for nothing, so he hoped that he would show some kind of mercy.

By the way.

Roman's answer was very different from what he expected.

[If you are acknowledging the relationship, I will be honest with you. In fact, for Dmitry, not helping the Northeast Federation is a practical way to gain. But I don't want to miss the big picture for small wins. Dmitry, and furthermore, the area to the northeast must unite as one, even considering the situation in Cairo, where war is raging. I'm sure Viscount Conrad knows it well. The fact that the geographical characteristics of the northeast area shine when they work together.]

Roman now.

said pure favour.

Viscount Konrad, who was expected to react with ridicule, of course, showed a slightly bewildered look.

[We also know that this choice could leave us at an advantage. Even so, the forces of the North cannot stand by and attack the area to the northeast. No matter what your relationship was. Aren't we living within a single fence called the 'Northeast Area'? If the forces inside the fence are left unattended because they are simply hostile forces, the northeast area is bound to fall into the same path of hell at all times. My request is clear. Instead of expecting a real reward from you, sincerely repent for what you have done and show your will to work together in the future. With that one promise, I will forget about the bad ties that have been in the past and not turn away from your crises as people living within the same fence.]

Moment.

Viscount Conrad's emotions surged.

If the opponent had shown a calculating attitude, Viscount Konrad would have thought of taking advantage of the favor without any regrets.

But it's pure love.

My mind was complicated.

Neither any other faction nor Dmitry knew that he would reach out to the Northeast Alliance, which was pushed to the edge of the cliff.

What the hell was I supposed to do with this?

His mouth didn't come out of his mouth.

Prejudice was removed.

Dmitry, who was only seen with respect because he was born in the common people, was now seen as a great leader to lead the northeast region.

It was really funny.

You don't know the value of Dmitry until you need help.

'It is certainly. Dmitry has the qualities of a leader to lead the northeast region.

in just one conversation.

The evil feelings that had piled up one after another were dissipating.

Is that so?

We will contact you again after thorough discussion with the people of the Federation.

Even though it was an offer that was readily acceptable, Viscount Conrad chose to take a step back with a very serious expression.

* * *

communication ended.

Viscount Konrad's answer to discuss.

They seemed to be sincere in their own way, but to Roman, their sincerity was not so important.

The Northeast Association has no choice but to accept my proposal. They may think that there is nothing wrong with accepting my proposal, but the moment they receive Dmitry's help, they lose the foundation of the Northeast Alliance.'

Northeast Association.

They're like bats.

It didn't just mean that he was a coward, but that he needed the help of those around him to survive.

to them like that.

A new path has been opened.

Dmitry showed an attitude of accepting them just because they belonged to the same northeast.

The Northeast Association is a necessary evil. If you can't win the hearts of everyone in the world anyway, you can simply filter out the rebellion by deliberately neglecting an existence like the Northeast Alliance. But that doesn't mean they can't fight together like they used to. The people who started to have a genuine interest in Dmitry because of this incident. They will cause differences of opinion within the Northeast Association, and writers such as bats cannot show the same power of action as they used to. losing the fundamentals. They will lose power without realizing it, even though they are not actually losing money.'

It was Baek Joong-hyuk's way.

Baek Joong-hyeok from Heaven.

He did not always accept only loyal servants.

Among the servants who followed Baek Jung-hyeok, there were selfish people who only knew themselves, and there were those who wanted to protect themselves by forming a group.

Baek Joong-hyuk embraced all of those diverse human beings. In the process of governing thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of people, he acknowledged from the beginning that humans are bound to be diverse.

but.

perfectly controlled.

Open your pores, but don't let vain thoughts.

With overwhelming force and rule, Magyo remained the ruler of Moorim until the day Baek Jung-hyeok died.

'The moment you accept the favor only once. Dmitry can swallow the entire northeast area without much effort.

Roman was greedy.

He wanted the whole of the northeast area.

At that level, he knew that Dmitry could survive in the future conflict with the central government.

'In order to attack Dmitry, you must pass through other forces in the northeast area. It may not have been a big problem for the central government when Dmitry had not yet won public opinion, but from now on it is a different story. The moment that swallowed up the Northeast Alliance. They must cross numerous walls until they reach Dmitry. We can move the battlefield out of Dmitry, and the more we help them fight the central government, the stronger the solidarity of the Northeast region. And then. The forces tied to the northeast are not permitted to choose any option to betray Dmitry.

I saw the distant future.

The plan, which began with Dmitry's peasants, formed an appallingly perfect governance structure.

so that.

The truth wasn't important.

It would be nice if you were genuinely loyal, but if you didn't, it wouldn't change the outcome.

Only one surrender.

That was enough.

squeaky.

I laid down on the chair.

waited for the time

If the Northeast Association sends a message.

Then you will reap the kind of beauty.

a few days later.

The day of the showdown was bright.

Count Douglas really rallied his troops, agitated the lords of the north, and went with them to the northeast area.

said the northern nobleman.

Sir Douglas. If you destroy the Northeast Association, you need to make the calculations clearly.

Of course. Why would I gossip with the lords of the North? This war is a golden opportunity. Since the fall of Barco, the northeast area has lost its solidarity, and they are like sand castles that collapse with the slightest touch. Shouldn t someone be taking possession of this kind of bonanza?

"Yes."

Hahaha, just hearing your words makes me feel good.

lords of the north.

They didn't add troops because of a human relationship.

Earl Douglas offered a real advantage, and that was the division of the spoils obtained after victory.

People think of me as a headless beast. But I also don't attack opponents blindly. If it s a fight I m going to face anyway, increasing my odds as much as possible is the way I ve been able to survive.

he was wicked

He directly linked the problem of self-esteem to practical gains.

the northeast area.

It was truly a communal mountain.

When I was angry, I tried to spit it out, but looking back, I didn't have a chance like this.

Starting with the Northeast Association.

It seemed that if done well, it could swallow the surrounding area.

'Stupid guys. When Barco was protected by the central government, I couldn't move too quickly, but now it's a different story. The Northeast Association is in a state of disrepair. Since the powers of the northeast will not be able to help them, it will not be too difficult to bring them down.

blood boiled.

The stage of slaughter that is about to take place.

He hurried his steps with a face full of anticipation, and suddenly the troops of the Northeast Alliance could be seen in the distance.

The wars of the nobility are orderly.

Barco and Lawrence, who had a siege battle, were a special case, and usually after deciding when and where to meet, they bumped into each other and competed for each other's strength.

It was no different this time.

By expressing their intention to war with the central government, they gave the Northeast Alliance a choice, and they sent a reply that they would fight here in the plains today.

Finally.

arrived at the scene.

Count Douglas, who drove forward on horseback, said in a threatening voice.

It s Earl Douglas. Commander, answer me and my words.

at that word.

Viscount Conrad stepped forward.

Unlike Earl Douglas, who seemed to be ordering an attack at any moment, he showed a little bit of trouble.

The scheduled time has not yet come. Please wait a moment.

It seems like everyone who will come has come, how about starting right away? Or perhaps surrendering right now would be a good idea. After all, there is no reason to lose strength in the fight.

It was an arrogant statement.

Count Douglas was already convinced of his victory, and the lords of the North behind him were no different.

However.

Viscount Conrad did not lose his composure.

Despite the opponent's provocation, he spoke calmly without a change in his expression.

You have to deal with long and short things, don t you think? When the time comes, then we have no intention of avoiding a fight either.

Viscount Conrad withdrew.

Was it because the reaction was different than expected?

Earl Douglas looked slightly angry.

'Cute bastards.'

I knew it.

I couldn't forgive them.

At the moment of victory in the war, he vowed to chew them up.

He also returned to his seat.

how much time has passed

The northern lords who chatted with a relaxed expression confirmed that a strange group was approaching from afar.

Who is coming.

Did the Northeast Alliance call in reinforcements?

It was relaxed at first.

Then.

The moment they saw the flag fluttering in the wind, their expressions hardened.

Dmitry?

You crazy.

That's true.

It was something that should never have happened.

* * *

this war.

There was confidence that Dmitry would not intervene.

I've been blushing like that lately, but I didn't know that I would show up to help the Northeast Association.

At the forefront of Dmitry.

There was Roman Dmitry.

When he arrived at the scene, Earl Douglas asked in an aggressive tone.

What is Dmitry doing here?

Is there any special reason for appearing on the battlefield? Just as Earl Douglas summoned the lords of the North, I have only brought my forces for the Northeast Alliance.

It was an answer that blocked the backlash.

this case.

Count Douglas and the Northeast Coalition were only able to weave the problem.

Count Douglas, however, summoned the lords of the north for a sure victory, which gave the Dmitry family a justification for the war.

If only I had known that Dmitry would be like this.

Count Douglas would never have given them a reason to join the war, no matter how hard it was.

'this.'

He looked perplexed.

The northern lords also looked at each other's eyes.

That was then.

We are ready.

It was Viscount Conrad.

a few days ago.

At the end of the meeting, the Northeast Association came to a conclusion.

This is an offer with no reason to decline. Wouldn't it be advantageous in every way to defeat Douglas with Dmitry's help? At least, I think it's a much better option to accept Dmitry as an ally, who still has room for compromise, rather than the forces of the North who want to trample us.

finally.

They held Roman's hand.

Although it was judged that it was actually beneficial, some figures, such as Viscount Konrad, seemed to be genuinely moved by Dmitry's progress.

For whatever reason. The fact that Dmitry accepted it as a fence in the same northeast area was an opportunity to look at the Dmitry family from a new perspective.

And now.

Viscount Conrad stood behind Roman.

Seeing that figure hiding behind a powerful protector, Roman spoke on behalf of the northeast region.

Choose now. A hand-to-hand battle, or a battle of great warriors. How would you like to fight us?

from now on.

Roman Dmitry.

It was the turn of the ruler of the northeast area to prove the meaning of his existence.
