handed over the documents.

As he read the content that appealed to him densely, Commander Jonathan of Knights responded that he was somewhat embarrassed.

"So, it means that a swordsman of this size applied not as a knight, but as a general enlisted soldier."

Yes. I took into account the fact that the level of enlisted recruitment was higher than expected in the past, but I did not know that such people would flock to the announcement that they were recruiting 'Private Soldiers'. As you know, no matter how much you receive, isn't that a far lesser amount than what belongs to a noble family?

The person at the reception raised his voice.

That was a reasonable statement.

Even though Dmitry paid higher wages than other families, this recruitment was conducted with the sole purpose of accepting enlisted soldiers.

However, when I looked at the contents of the document, people who had absolutely nothing to do with the purpose were listed.

[Favir]

- I am 39 years old this year. He worked as a member of the 'Knights' in the prestigious Umberto family, and is currently able to display the three-star aura. The fact that I took on many duties supported by etiquette and skills, such as escorting a nobleman, and took the post of deputy commander right before I quit the knighthood, is an example of my commanding ability. The war I experienced... When the Dmitry family recently declared war on the Kronos Empire, they also expressed their intention to voluntarily participate in the war.

It was one of the men I was talking to at the inn.

Fabir explained who he was and his strengths and career in order to pass the document screening.

It was actually a free pass. A person like this would apply as a 'private soldier', but there was no reason to refuse unless you were crazy.

the problem is.

[Aura Inspection]

In addition to Favir.

There were various specifications.

It was a moment when I felt a sense of disappointment.

Even when Captain Jonathan swore allegiance to Dmitry, Dmitry's reputation was not so good that his colleagues would even say why he went to Dmitry.

But now the situation is completely reversed.

Just by looking at the specifications of those who have expressed their intention to participate in documents, it has proven that they have changed their status, and more than anything else, recently, there has been a constant influx of solicitation calls from former colleagues.

"My son has awakened his aura this time Can you put me in the Dmitry Knights?"

"Jonathan. How are you? No, just to say hello. Yeah, it was really hard training with you in the past... That's why I'm saying, is there any room for me to enter the Dmitry Knights?"

"I will say it outright. Thinking of the old days, take me with you."

their contact.

The people who had asked for their regards at the beginning ended the conversation by asking Dmitry to receive them.

It wasn't that the specs of those who contacted me were lacking.

The reason they hang Dmitry like this, who are called aura swordsmen in their own way, was obviously due to a reasonable reward and the rumors that had spread recently.

'In the war against Kronos, Chris and Kevin defeated Aura swordsmen who were stronger than them. At that time, rumors circulated that Dmitry was using a special skill, and the interest of the Aura swordsmen towards Dmitry exploded. Rumors that he may have skills beyond Alexander. For those who apply to Dmitry, the money they receive is not important.'

understood.

A technique taught by Roman Dmitry.

As a person who inherited it, Dmitry's swordsmanship was worthy of this much attention.

He continued to hand over the documents.

I checked the basics, and for a moment, Knight Commander Jonathan showed a surprising reaction.

" Why is this person here?"

not document.

only one career.

The person who surprised Jonathan the Knights Commander was the same robin who had attracted people's attention in Adelian.

It was a crazy day.

The Marquis of Memphis, who had been dealing with the rush of affairs since the end of the war, distorted his expression at the news about Dmitry.

"Stupid guys. If you win once, you're all stuck with Dmitry.

lately.

Recruitment for the Dmitry family was a hot potato.

It did not simply cause a sensation within Dmitry, but the situation in which people from each country expressed their intention to take the exam was upsetting.

For the aristocrats, the lights fell on their feet to protect the swordsmen of their families.

The people who usually struggled to give even 1 silver less, voluntarily said that they would give 1 more gold, and tried to somehow capture the hearts of the prosecutors.

It was crazy.

For the Memphis family, it was absolutely unheard of.

"How can people be so stupid? The disappearance of Odelia was not because of the Kronos Empire's remorse, but because Odelia tried to parasitize a useless subject. Those who are capable and capable of doing work for the Empire will always remain victorious, as the history of the continent proves."

point of view was different.

People said that Kronos could no longer be trusted due to Odelia's disappearance, but Odelia, who had only brought the pattern of the Kingdom Union in the first place, thought it was right to throw it away.

If Odelia had obtained the consent of Umberto, Frank, and Redford and spoke of cooperation as one great force, the Kronos Empire would have used their existence and foretold the future.

By the way.

Odelia, what did you do with just one?

Surrounded by the Kingdom Union, they only created a dispersion of power, and as the Kronos Empire, it was more efficient to occupy their territory and use it as a bridgehead for conquest of the continent.

In the end, it was a failure, but the critics of the choice didn't make much sense.

finally.

Kronos will conquer the continent.

The Marquis of Memphis believed in the long history of the Empire.

'The Emperor has foretold us about a year's time. After that, the conquest of the continent will begin again. For now, I have chosen to take a step back due to complex issues, but from that point on when Kronos reveals his power, no matter what kind of power Dmitry has, it will not be able to turn the situation around.'

abyss.

The demons lived there.

The war with Dmitry was still only partially exposed.

That was then.

smart.

"Can I come in?"

come in.

He was a knight of the Memphis family.

He opened the door carefully, showing a strangely uncomfortable face.

"It's no different, Captain Fred hasn't been to work for a week."

"Is that sincere Fred? what will happen Send someone to check what's going on with Fred.

"That's true big. I don't know how to say this. Already a few days ago, I sent someone to the house of Knight Commander Fred. But no one was there. I didn't report it right away because I thought there might be a personal business, but today I confirmed that Commander Fred had used the Warp Gate with his family."

stand tall.

What?

stopped acting.

The Marquis of Memphis's expression slowly hardened, and he looked at the knight's face.

the article said.

"And, the final destination of the warp gate was 'Cortas'."

Cortas.

Land occupied by Roman Dmitry.

Or, a place with a warp gate that can go directly to the east.

The Marquis of Memphis, who did not understand the meaning at first, showed a look of dismay.

"Are you trying to say that Fred, the commander of the Memphis knights, fled to Dmitry?!"

That's true.

It was unacceptable for the Marquis of Memphis.

series of situations.

Reported to Emperor Cronus.

The disappearance of Odelia and the death of Baron Charlton created a bigger rift than expected.

" This is the current situation. At this rate, we cannot stop the outflow of the Empire's talented people.

said the Marquis of Memphis in anger.

Fred's betrayal.

I wanted to tear it apart right away.

He made fun of the people who lost the knights of the family for being stupid, but he could not have imagined that his knight leader would choose to escape at night.

Lately, the Marquis of Memphis has had a really crazy day.

While he was having such a chaotic time that he could not even meet the commander of the Knights Fred, he did not know this would happen.

said Emperor Kronos.

"It's fun."

He was currently possessed, and he responded that it was really funny to the huge uproar that Roman Dmitry had caused.

It didn't happen because he simply annihilated Odelia and killed Baron Charlton.

only one defeat.

As the Kronos Empire met its first historical defeat, people began to realize that the Kronos Empire was not invincible either.

Then there was no reason to blindly follow the Kronos Empire.

The reason he cried out for allegiance even though he knew he might be abandoned by the Kronos Empire at any time was not because his loyalty to the Empire was that great, but because he had no other option.

Dmitry is.

given a workaround.

Against Kronos, he proved that he could win.

"Order the Royal Knights. From now on, all those who commit treason, regardless of their status, must be exterminated and their families. Even though they were born in the Kronos Empire, they are fools who risk their lives to follow Dmitry. Such beings only disturb Kronos' discipline. They are not necessary for the future of Kronos."

"I will obey your orders."

The Marquis of Memphis retreated.

on their own orders.

A wind of blood will blow in Kronos.

As always, the most powerful means of controlling Kronos was fear.

'Roman Dmitry. To his enlisted men, he teaches Dmitry's special skills.'

Interest turned.

Alexander is the creator of the aura.

Although he gave up on the way and switched to the path of a wizard, there was a curiosity about how great of martial arts Roman Dmitry used.

The power he created will never be enough.

As a pioneer, I wanted to compare how different the strength he discovered and the real martial arts were.

it maybe.

I didn't know it was inferior.

Apart from his relationship with Dmitry, he wanted to prove that the power he created himself was a great achievement.

so that.

He sent his pieces like Emperor Cronus.

Recruitment of Dmitry's enlisted men.

The number of applicants reached 100,000.

If you think that they are all old enough to fight with a sword, that's a pretty big deal.

Dmitry also showed admiration from the inside.

I knew that Roman Dmitry's status was great, but I didn't think it would produce enough results to invite 100,000 people at once.

the problem is.

There were too many people to test.

In a situation where tens of thousands of people remained even after the first screening, Lucas and the people of Haomun all stuck together and conducted a simple qualification test and identity check.

If there are any inaccuracies with the information you provided, you will be disqualified.

And, using previously conducted methods, such as the courage test, there were a number of ways to see if you were eligible to accept Dmitry's test.

This alone took quite a while.

Success was not determined solely by force.

Those with weak wills fell short, and after a full week of testing, the 3rd test list was confirmed.

on the day of the test.

Five thousand participants who had survived the previous test flocked.

Roman Dmitry said that he would select only 500 of them, and that the rest would be given the opportunity to enlist in the Dmitry army, even if they were not enlisted.

That is why everyone seemed to be vigilant.

Until then, the atmosphere of competition was weak, but from now on, everyone around you was a competitor.

That was then.

"It's Chris."

"Dmitry's flash!"

A group of people appeared, receiving the attention of the people.

At their head was a familiar figure, who crossed the crowd and stood in front of everyone.

said Chris.

"From now on, I will explain the third test method. The test method is simple. Behind me are your seniors. They have passed the same tests as you guys, swore allegiance to their lord, and have done great things for Dmitry until now. From the order in which you were called, you will choose one of the seniors behind me to conduct the battle."

Dalian.

People's eyes changed sharply.

The people who lined up behind Chris were some known faces like Kevin, some weren't.

"Winning is not a condition for passing the third test. Those who win will definitively move on to the final test, but if they show a meaningful appearance even if they lose, they pass."

challengers.

They were mostly not nervous.

Since there were many beings who had their own reputation, they believed that they were able to win enough against Dmitry's enlisted men. It was a fun situation. Chris smiled and took the sword hanging from his waist.

"And I can also point to Dalian. No further explanation is needed. From now on, we will proceed with the third test."

The tension rose.

Finally.

"For the first participant, Favir."

The test started.
