chicken game (6)

4 hours ago.

The Marquis of Belfir at that time was in the main square of Marin.

Park-

threw a man away

The man with his already messed up face drooped from the floor as if he had no strength to get up.

"Look, the people of Valhalla. This bastard dared to rebel against His Majesty the Emperor Valhalla. In this country, treason is a felony that even life cannot atone for, and as a servant of His Majesty the Emperor Valhalla, I do not intend to ignore such a situation."

glance.

gave a signal

Then the two knights who were waiting behind came out.

One knight grabbed the man's hair and pressed it to the floor, while the other took a sharp dagger to the people.

The blade of the dagger shone in the sun.

In a situation exuding a chilling feeling, the knight shoved a dagger into the man's body without hesitation and presented pain.

dreaming.

" turn it off."

A moan leaked out.

Even in the midst of his mindlessness, the man struggled to get out of the pain, but his body, which had already lost its strength, could not escape from the wretched hand.

It was a really terrible scene.

Some people turned their attention, and the children who came out to see the scene hurriedly left their seats, led by their parents.

situation in front of you.

Unlike his cold face, Marquis Belfir was calming his pounding heart inside.

'It's right for me, for Valhalla.'

Emperor Valhalla.

After ordering the massacre of the common people, he ordered that their remnants be brought to the fore and set a solid example.

He tried to control people with a politics of terror.

The Marquis of Belfir did not know how cruel it was as a human being, but there was no sign of refusing to command.

already.

He rode on the back of a beast.

The Emperor Valhalla knew that his only way of life was to maintain power, so he had no choice but to follow this incident, even though he could not sincerely sympathize with it.

After all, this is what politics is.

A world where people have to give up their way. The Marquis of Belfir also did not live a very clean life, so he opened his eyes and watched the torture.

rumble rumble.

blood flowed

The floor of the square was dyed with excitement, and the body that had been trembling did not move from one moment on.

Marquis Belfir said.

next.

behind him.

There were many examples.

Those believed to have joined the rebels were drawn out one after another, screaming in horrific torture.

People gathered in the square could not leave their seats.

Due to the soldiers forcing them to see the reality in front of them, even the parents who were trying to escape with their children could not get out of their seats and blocked the eyes and ears of the child.

Did 30 minutes have passed?

As the corpses were piled up on the other side of the square, a knight from the royal family suddenly rushed in.

"Marquis Belfir! This is an order to return to the Imperial Palace!"

comeback? There's still a lot of work to be done, what's going on?

He looked puzzled.

He's doing things under the emperor's orders, but what the heck is it that you're calling yourself in such a hurry?

Said the knight with a pale face.

"Roman Dmitry. What trick he has done, there are simultaneous terrorist attacks all over Valhalla!"

* * *

Eastern Valhalla.

Cairn.

Contrary to the turbulent situation, in a slightly peaceful place, a series of people were busily moving.

"Team 1 is on the right, and Team 2 is on the left."

Yes.

Eight people.

The men with ordinary faces that can be commonly found on the street were torn in two at the sight of the target visible from afar.

The target was the weapons warehouse.

It is a place to store basic weapons and supplies necessary for war, but in front of the weapons warehouse, as usual, several soldiers were guarding the surroundings.

puck.

"Uh-huh."

It was instantaneous to subdue them.

He approached the opponent's blind spot, and he stabbed the vital point or twisted his neck before taking any action.

It was a quick and sure move.

Some of the men quickly changed into soldiers' uniforms, while others went inside and set up magic bombs.

With that, everything was ready. Far away from the weapons warehouse, they activated a magic bomb.

Quang!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Quarreung, quare rumble rumble.

It was a huge explosion.

The weapons warehouse exploded at once, and the hot flames covered the warehouse as it was.

The peaceful afternoon in Cairn was a disjointed moment.

In a sudden situation, the emergency bell rang and soldiers flocked in, and they quickly grasped the situation by looking at the flaming weapons warehouse.

then.

Some of the people who detonated the weapons warehouse shouted out at the people who gathered around them.

"You bastards of Valhalla! Even if you kill innocent people, we will not fall like this!"

"We must not all forget the atrocities of Valhalla! The citizens of Marin, apart from the Duke of Vieto, had the right voice for Valhalla, but the Valhalla imperial court ordered them to be slaughtered. Thousands of people died in Marine. And we never know when we will fall victim to the madness of Emperor Valhalla. Don't step back! Don't turn your back on reality! We must solve the problem of Valhalla!"

It was an embarrassing situation.

Citizens of Cairn saw the burning scene, posters announcing the realities of Valhalla, and people shouting whales.

At that time, the massacre in Marine was not well known.

Just before Cairn's soldiers stopped the terrorists, the pre-disguised soldiers shouted.

"Chase!"

at there!

It was a well crafted play.

As if they were the same group but not.

Cairn's soldiers followed later, but those who took advantage of the chaotic situation disappeared.

All of them.

He was a member of Haomun.

It was also a special agent who had been taught martial arts, and the people who spread throughout Valhalla carried out the operation according to the orders given by Roman Dmitry.

It wasn't something that was planned and executed in just a few days.

The execution of the operation was abrupt, but they prepared and trained for numerous scenarios like today.

And.

Terrorism like this took place all over Valhalla.

What was once or twice at first spread to dozens, and in an instant, the entire Valhalla fell into chaos.

that time.

Chris reached his destination.

As he prepares for his future operation, he recalls a conversation with Roman Dmitry.

"We will go ahead with the plan. The warp gate has been destroyed, so proceed with the next best solution prepared in advance."

The next best thing (次善策).

As one of several strategies prepared in response to Valhalla's response, Chris immediately understood what Roman Dmitry was talking about.

It was a very reckless operation in Chris's opinion.

In particular, in the case of terrorism, which is the basis of the operation, it might be revealed that Roman Dmitry was the culprit of the terror after provoking the people of Valhalla.

So I asked.

"Emperor Valhalla has lost the hearts of the people. If it turns out that we are inciting chaos in a situation like this, the enemy may use an external enemy named Dmitry to control the chaos inside."

no. That doesn't happen."

was adamant

Actually the truth doesn't matter.

No matter what the Emperor Valhalla's response, from the moment he ordered the massacre, he crossed the river of no return.

"The Emperor Valhalla slaughtered the common people, so we had an opponent to blame. If you terrorize each territory of Valhalla as prepared in advance and reveal the truth that happened in the capital to the people of Valhalla, how will the people of Valhalla react? They wouldn't question who did this. Clearly, the organized movement is intentional when viewed from a few steps away, but what is important to people now is the actions of Emperor Valhalla. We will use their minds. As soon as people's dissatisfaction is expressed outside and even the slightest action is taken, the rebellion in Marine will not be limited there, but will spread throughout Valhalla.

attached to the public opinion.

It was different from what happened in Marin.

In the capital, Emperor Valhalla's soldiers immediately took control of the situation, but the flames of rebellion spreading across the vast land of Valhalla were a different story.

The army that was currently called out to subdue Hernard's rebels was not the only army of the emperor.

Among them were the nobles of Valhalla who had joined with their troops, and they would be in chaos as their territories were attacked.

Chris added.

" It's good to work with people's hearts. However, many will die for our benefit."

It was my guilt as a human being.

Dmitry will promote Valhalla for Dmitry's benefit, and the people of Valhalla who are embroiled in political problems will cry out for patriotism and die like that.

It was a cruel reality. In fact, the common people of Valhalla were not at fault.

Just because Dmitry and Valhalla were hostile, they were forced into a harsh reality.

If the operation runs as scheduled.

In a nutshell, according to the inclinations of the Emperor Valhalla, many people will not be able to survive.

then.

Roman Dmitry said.

Kris. Don't forget that Valhalla is a foreign country. We will do anything for our victory. And there is no need to feel guilty about the process. Just as they cut down soldiers they have no grievances for just because they are on the other side of the battlefield, those who have Valhalla nationality are not irrelevant in this situation. All that matters to us is the future for Dmitry."

Moment.

I got goosebumps.

I realized once again.

Although Roman Dmitry is praised by people for his kindness to people, his roots have always been cold and cruel.

Aside from the fact that he made some kind of deal with Hernard's rebels. Dmitry chose the maximum benefit he could pursue.

Some people choose risky things that their brains can understand but do not dare to put into practice, Roman Dmitry only because it is most beneficial.

such an existence.

It was the lord he served.

Although his heart was chilled by the cruelty, Chris felt relieved to know that he was serving such a person.

'At least, if a nation that puts its own people first is leading the country, there is no reason for us not to sacrifice our lives.'

It's a simple matter.

Emperor Valhalla killed his own people.

In contrast, Roman Dmitry has pushed a foreign country into the depths of despair for his own people.

There was nothing to worry about.

While staying by Roman Dmitry's side, Chris was put to the test every time, but the reason he stayed until the end was because he knew that his future with Roman Dmitry would be happy even if he was selfish.

It was no different this time.

The operation ahead was risky, but Dmitry had no intention of backing down from the game that had already begun.

chuck.

picked up a sword

Behind him, Allied soldiers lined up.

"The operation begins now."

Yes.

far away

Where Chris's sight reached, the largest granary in Valhalla caught people's attention.

* * *

The incidents happened one after another.

The leaders convened at the Valhalla Imperial Palace could not be distracted by reports from all over Valhalla.

"Terrorism is happening all over Valhalla! It seems that Roman Dmitry has done something. He selected only the weapon warehouse and detonated a magic bomb, and brought the massacre in Marine to the fore, provoking the anger of the people of Valhalla. At this rate, it is only a matter of time before the flames of the rebellion spread."

"We need to get our troops back. That way, we can mobilize our soldiers to suppress the anger of the people."

It wasn't just that.

Another news.

Upon hearing reports of Dmitry's army setting fire to the granary, the leaders of Valhalla shuddered.

"Isn't this supposed to be stopped?"

"If all the granaries are burned, the damage to Valhalla will be enormous."

Valhalla.

The origin of the empire was in the southern jungle, so unlike other countries, Valhalla did not have much land for farming.

So the northern granary was the core of Valhalla.

The food produced there feeds a large part of it, but Dmitry's army turned and attacked the granary.

It was within the expected range.

but.

The granary was far from the other warp points, so it was a choice to completely abandon Hernard's rebels, so the Valhalla Empire thought that Dmitry would defeat 20,000 troops.

However, contrary to expectations, they went deeper and attacked the granary.

If the granary was engulfed in flames like this, the damage caused by it might not have been sustained by Valhalla for a long time, not just a month or two.

Chicken game.

Perseverance grabbed my ankles.

If they had concentrated their forces in the north, they would have protected the granary, but there was no way to block the intentions of the Dmitry Allied Forces with a small number of troops.

However, it was also difficult to recover the troops.

If the troops were called in now, the chances of losing two rabbits were high for both the Northern and Hernard rebels.

Marquis Belfir said.

"I cannot stand by Dmitry any longer. We need to recall some of the troops that went to Hernard. Since Hernard is already on the verge of taking over, leaving half of the troops left will not be a problem."

raised his voice.

chief seat.

There was Emperor Valhalla.

In a series of situations, Emperor Valhalla showed a strange expression.

That was then.

The imperial knight delivered one fact.

" I have received a request for magical communication from Roman Dmitry."

only a few days ago.

Unlike when the communication was cut off unilaterally, there was a momentary silence in the conference room at the name of Roman Dmitry.
