A country that has lost its romance (1)

that time.

Roman Dmitry, returning to Dmitry, met Sanchez, as Count Bragan expected.

"I heard rumors. He joined the Duke of Vieto and led the rebellion."

Yes. Thanks to Roman Dmitry for advice. To counter the atrocities of Emperor Valhalla, I needed the help of a giant like Duke Vieto, and he gladly accepted my offer."

"So what is the purpose of coming to me?"

Sanchez laughed.

It was the same in the past and now.

Even then, Roman Dmitry was a clear-cut man.

Despite Valhalla's outright threats, he did not ask for help, and instead advised him to visit the Duke of Vieto.

It changed Sanchez's future drastically.

As a disciple of Morales, pursuing only strength, he now realizes the importance of politics and follows Vieto to become the core of the rebellion.

blast furnace.

Meeting Roman Dmitry was important.

Even if they had a past relationship, the other person was not a person who would give them an unpaid favor.

said Sanchez.

" First, let me briefly explain the situation in Valhalla. Currently, the Valhalla Empire is divided into the power of Emperor Valhalla and the rebels following the Duke of Vieto. Our rebels seek to restore Valhalla to its roots. As you know, Valhalla was originally a country of warriors who competed purely for strength, and they were able to win the support of the people by criticizing the actions of the Emperor Valhalla for fading its meaning. The problem is that it cannot defeat Emperor Valhalla on its own."

rebel forces.

They spread wide and raised their voices.

Looking at the cheering people, he was sure of victory, but the reality that was unfolding before his eyes was hopeless.

The emperor's soldiers arrived.

They slaughtered all those who took part in the rebellion, and those who had just cried out for the origins of Valhalla fell to the ground with faces tinged with fear.

There was no way to do it.

Not everyone knows that the cause of the rebels is good, but the reason they have been silent until now is because of the overwhelming power of the imperial family.

massacre.

died in vain

The horse is a rebel force, and until now, it was in a state of unilateral submission to the power of the emperor.

"Right now, we have no chance of winning. The top rankers of Valhalla have been following the emperor since the days when he was not mentioned as a successor, and the Valhalla military shows blind loyalty to the emperor. Let me tell you straight up. I need Dmitry's help. The rebel forces alone will never be able to defeat the emperor, so we desperately need a solution to fill the gap."

Now.

The rulers of Valhalla paid attention to Roman Dmitry.

Even though he was not a member of Valhalla, the steps he showed and his recognition within Valhalla were overwhelming.

"The people of Valhalla describe Roman Dmitry as a true warrior. Even knowing that Kronos and Valhalla, the two major mountain ranges of the continent, were seeking their lives, they participated in the festival of Valhalla, defeated Barbossa at once and returned to Dmitry. I am sure that Roman Dmitry's joining the rebellion will not only increase his power, but his symbolism alone will have a tremendous effect. If you help us overthrow Emperor Valhalla. Valhalla, as Dmitry's ally, will not spare his full support."

It was a win-win.

as well as securing symbolism.

It was a deal to get a powerful existence called Roman Dmitry, who could slaughter the top rankers of Valhalla.

It had to be done unconditionally.

Sanchez spit out every word with earnest heart.

By the way.

"If it is a proposal for direct involvement in the rebellion of Valhalla, I cannot accept it."

An answer without a single hesitation.

Roman Dmitry looked at Sanchez who was bewildered and said firmly.

"It means I can't be Valhalla's solution to be exact."

* * *

It was an embarrassing answer.

I wasn't sure that he would help me unconditionally, but I didn't know that I would refuse so quickly.

Think about it.

Emperor Valhalla had an affair with Roman Dmitry.

With the intention of killing Roman Dmitry, he invited them to the Valhalla Festival, and when Barbossa was defeated, he stood by the Kronos Empire's attack.

At that moment, the relationship was settled.

Roman Dmitry, who has proven how to deal with hostile forces in the past, will certainly not miss the opportunity to take revenge on Emperor Valhalla.

Besides.

Recently, Valhalla has been showing signs of communion with Kronos.

It was a simple matter.

Since Kronos had a hostile relationship with Dmitry, it was necessary to eliminate the Emperor Valhalla, who might be allied with Kronos.

The alliance with the rebels is absolutely beneficial to Roman Dmitry.

If Valhalla were to secure the danger as an ally, there was no more ideal result.

What was questionable was the nuances of Roman Dmitry.

Rather than a complete rejection, it left room for questioning.

Sanchez asked.

"May I ask what you mean?"

"It's just what I heard. If I take part in the civil war in Valhalla and lead the rebellion, your cause will inevitably lose its power. Valhalla is a pure-blooded country. No matter how good I get in Valhalla, the moment someone who is not Valhalla puts a sword against the Emperor Valhalla, the people will turn away. I will ask you If the rebel forces lose even the support of the people, do you think you have a chance?"

" There is not.

okay. Therefore, to bring down the emperor from his place, it must be done only by Valhalla's power.

It was a complicated situation.

What the people of Valhalla want is not simply a change of power, but to find the root of Valhalla.

But what if the process is led by an outsider?

There was nothing funnier than that.

As a rebel force that was overwhelmingly defeated in the battlefield, there was virtually no chance of winning if even the support of the people was lost.

Sanchez faces a dilemma.

It would be possible to fill the power gap only with the help of Roman Dmitry somehow, but when a realistic problem was pointed out, the future was bleak.

Water spilled.

If you step back from here.

It was clear that Emperor Valhalla would execute all who took part in the rebellion, leaving no one behind.

suddenly.

The word direct came to mind.

Doesn't it mean that you can't help directly, on the other hand, that you can help indirectly?

That was then.

Roman Dmitry said.

"But it is possible to help indirectly. Dmitry and Valhalla's problem that has nothing to do with you. Not in a way that lifts you up, but in a way that lowers your opponent. In order to close this deal, I will also have to pay a fair price. What I want is simple."

" What is it?"

laughed

From the beginning of meeting Sanchez, who had no choice but to accept as an opponent, Roman Dmitry had an answer.

"A temporary alliance valid until Kronos is defeated. I hope that Valhalla will not be a hindrance to my future."

* * *

The same words have different meanings depending on the nuance.

Sanchez.

Roman Dmitry.

What they suggested was the same.

Both said that they should bring down the Emperor Valhalla and form a union between Dmitry and Valhalla, but if what Sanchez wanted was coexistence, Roman Dmitry demanded a temporary interest.

After achieving each other's goals, you can always turn back.

A relationship that cannot be said to be a perfect ally.

Sanchez thought for a moment.

He knew he might be hostile in the future, but he had no other option.

"I will accept Dmitry's offer."

like that.

Sanchez left.

Roman Dmitry decided to proceed as planned, and although it was temporary, the rebels and Dmitry joined hands.

space left alone.

Roman Dmitry drank tea and thought of the future.

"Alexander. You want me to join the civil war."

A scene seen through the world tree.

Aleksandr leads the civil rebellion in Valhalla, and apparently Roman Dmitry is also hoping to get involved in the rebellion.

It was an ideal scenario for Kronos.

The Emperor Valhalla and the rebel forces will fight each other, devouring Valhalla's power, and Roman Dmitry will also suffer damage.

didn't worry

It was also one way to remove the feet and store up power, but that was far from the direction he thought he was going.

'I will not escape.'

onlooking.

Staying at a distance doesn't solve the problem.

If Emperor Valhalla suppressed the rebellion, then he had to worry about the worst-case scenario in which Kronos and Valhalla unite.

Roman Dmitry did not entrust his future to heaven.

He will lead the civil war in Valhalla from the beginning, and achieve the desired outcome even at the cost of sacrifice.

For that reason.

He offered Sanchez a temporary union.

Roman Dmitry accepted the Kingdom Union.

Luna, Cairo, and Hector said that they would become a subordinate country, but the other countries still had a strong sense of unity.

But there was no clear line against them.

Countries accustomed to being ruled by the strong from the start would naturally accept Dmitry, but the Valhalla Empire had different prerequisites.

they are predators

Beings that do not give in.

Even if Kronos falls, Valhalla can exist as Dmitry and the two great mountain ranges as before, but it will not be acceptable to bow its head as a subordinate country.

So I drew a line. It was made clear that it was a temporary union.

Although he would join the rebellion and devour Valhalla's power and prepare for a war against Kronos, he did not hide the fact that Roman Dmitry's purpose was more than that.

That was the reason Sanchez was embarrassed.

It was an offer he could not refuse from the beginning, although he was speechless for a while due to his great ambition.

led the situation.

Kronos instigates war.

Valhalla asking for help.

Everyone hopes to attract Dmitry, but in the end, Roman Dmitry does what he wants.

widely.

put down the teacup.

"Hans."

"Yes, did you call?"

There was much work to be done from now on.

* * *

That evening.

Prowling the guest room, Count Bragan chewed his nails.

" Are you saying you won't see me at all?

Sanchez is leaving.

I immediately asked to meet.

I thought I'd meet you now, but the servant of Roman Dmitry adamantly said no.

"Right now, the master is handling personal affairs. If you are waiting in the guest room, we will contact you as soon as the time is right."

As I waited so long, the day became dark.

annoyed

Although he did not know that the Emperor Valhalla had bad feelings, it was not the right response to keep the guests of Valhalla waiting.

If Kronos and Valhalla even hold hands.

No matter how strong Roman Dmitry was, there was no way he could handle both empires.

Aside from personal feelings, it is not a matter to respond emotionally if you are a decision maker carrying a country.

once endured.

If you rush it, you may end up messing things up.

Count Bragan suppressed his boiling rage, waiting for Roman Dmitry to find him.

One day.

Two days.

On the third day at dawn, Count Bragan exploded.

"Damn Dmitry. How long are you going to wait? Billy!

Yes.

Billy was an escort knight.

As he entered the room, he spoke with a nervous voice.

"It's okay if we don't meet right away, so make an appointment by any means and by any means. We are not the ones to be treated like this. If you show that fact, even Roman Dmitry will not be able to postpone the meeting any more."

Okay.

Negotiation is not about bowing down unconditionally.

if it's like this

Even if he sat at the negotiating table, he would have no choice but to lose the initiative, so he needed to reveal his position.

Representative of Valhalla.

It is not a place to be ignored.

Carrying Emperor Valhalla on his back was worth it.

dump.

sat on the sofa

Now was the time of waiting.

Count Bragann, with a slightly softened face, enjoyed the aroma of the tea, thinking that good news would now arrive.

But 30 minutes later.

quiver.

" Bae, Count."

Billy came in.

His face, which had been triumphant even when he received the order, had changed so horribly that it was unrecognizable at once.

What's happening?!

jumped up from his seat.

What the hell happened in 30 minutes?

Billy said in a voice tinged with fear.

" Kevin. Dmitry's demon made me like this.
