End of Civil War (3)

Office of the Marquis of Memphis.

Count Fabius, who had moved, sat across from the Marquis of Memphis and shivered.

"Aren't you seeing your face too often? Dmitrina, Kronosna. Trusted beings don't seem to have time to rest, hahaha.

Dmitry's Diplomacy.

The second son of Kronos.

As Count Fabius said, the two of them became quite familiar with each other's faces as they met whenever political problems arose.

Unlike Count Fabius, who had a welcome reaction. The Marquis of Memphis showed signs of dissatisfaction with Dmitry's unilateral notification of the visit.

"Tell me about the dragon."

"Write, what if you say that?"

shrugged.

Count Fabius took a sip of the servant's tea and spoke with a face that did not lose his composure.

"It has been quite some time since Kronos and Dmitry signed an armistice agreement. There were no problems in the meantime, as we faithfully fulfilled the standards of negotiations with each other, but I recently heard information that the Kronos Empire is gathering troops on the border of Cairo. Of course, it's a training title. However, the fact that Dmitry is taking such a course now that the conflict with Valhalla is happening... ."

widely.

I put down the teacup.

The person's good-looking face changed in an instant.

"My master is very displeased."

Moment.

The Marquis of Memphis' expression contorted.

The expression of dissatisfaction with Kronos was a remark that I could not even have dared to imagine just a year ago.

"As you just said, we have been conducting military training. I don't think Dmitry should be involved.

"Yes, yes. You would. If you insist that it is a matter separate from the truce negotiations, I have nothing more to say. But we all know each other, don't we? How this behavior affects Dmitry. Even if there was no special deal with Valhalla in a series of circumstances, how it looks in the realm of diplomacy is also attributable."

It was a bold move.

Count Fabius, like a hyena that seized the opportunity, bit through the gaps exposed by the opponent.

OK.

Even the Marquis of Memphis did not hide their hostility.

"Count Fabius. If we had truly taken advantage of this opportunity to attack Dmitry, we would not have stood by until now. In the war against Dmitry, Kronos never showed any power. In a situation where we can make any decision if we put our mind to it, only a small fraction of the troops sent to the Cairo border. That's the truth. Dmitry is no longer such a fussy country, is he?"

It was tight.

There was no retreat from each other.

this meeting.

Count Fabius was unaware that this was going to happen.

Simply moving the troops in the name of training was not clear enough to hold them accountable for political reasons.

Count Fabius was Swallow.

"You really make the players blush. Dmitry and Kronos. As you know, we are in a truce relationship. It doesn't mean the war is over, it just means it's been paused. In that sense, we are always watching the progress of the Kronos Empire. The Kronos Empire has taken the position that it does not want war, but in fact, both know that war may happen again at any time. If so, I'll ask. Doesn't Kronos need time now? I don't know what they are preparing for, but the appearance of Kronos bystanders on this opportunity is unusual. It is a problem that is different from what we have been doing in the past, and we can only think of a different purpose behind it."

Why did you visit Kronos?

It was clear.

The opponent's excuses were not important from the beginning.

"So, act in moderation. I know it's obviously meant to buy time, but even as Dmitry, Dmitry can't overlook this situation if he's been consistent with such an absurd attitude.

squeaky.

reclined on the sofa

With a rather cheeky face, he looked down at his opponent.

"Did you understand what I mean?"

* * *

Moment.

Hahaha.

The Marquis of Memphis burst out laughing.

At Count Fabius's bold and bold remarks, he showed a genuinely funny expression and wiped the tears that were leaking out.

"Actually, it's a reputation. The tongue of a raccoon is very bitter."

Unlike a smiling face.

anger was intense.

Dmitry.

Their stature pierced the sky.

Now, he was unstoppable against the Kronos Empire, and did not deny the fact that war would someday be waged again, as Count Fabius said.

Has there ever been a country in the history of the continent that resisted Kronos this much?

In a nutshell, if such a country existed, it would have been on the list of ruined countries within a few years.

said the Marquis of Memphis.

"What I can say with certainty here is that Kronos intends to continue the ceasefire negotiations going forward. We will limit movement at the Cairo border as much as possible. It is impossible to defeat the troops at all, but we will adjust the number to a level that does not pose a threat to Cairo."

laughed

Contrary to his friendly face, he showed sharp eyes.

"By the way. If Cronus is preparing some kind of plan, then Count Fabius is as good as dead. It means that you could die just because you came to represent Dmitry. Aren't you scared? You were once called the raccoon of Kairos instead of Dmitry, aren't you such a sacrificial person?

It was pure curiosity.

In the matter of moving the troops, Kronos took a step back, but his gaze was different from that of a loser.

He looked at his opponent carefully.

To bite Fabius, he showed a ferocious sign.

By the way.

Count Fabius picked up the teacup again and savored it slowly, looking at the other person.

"Well, I'm not going to deny it in particular. I hate meaningless sacrifices. It's just stupid bastards who sacrifice their lives for them, but in fact, most people don't recognize it.

people said

That Fabius had become loyal.

It's different from the raccoon's reputation.

But the truth was not.

The identity that made up the man named Count Fabius was the same as always.

"The reason I am doing this is because I am satisfied with the reality of serving Roman Dmitry. In Dmitry, my stature is sky high. Being at the heart of power, and because of the monthly gift Dmitry sends me, my wife is said to be the happiest woman in the world. How about the eldest son of the family? Following Dmitry's elite course, he strives to grow into the next generation of Aura Swordsmen. And above all ."

I fixed my posture.

There was no sign of fear, as if it was in my bedroom.

"If this man named Fabius is useful and dedicated to Dmitry, I am convinced that Roman Dmitry-sama will not abandon me under any circumstances. Declaring war against the Kronos Empire, this time visiting the Valhalla imperial family and turning it into a wasteland. There are no limits to him. But how could I not be dedicated? If I die on this spot, it will be very painful and annoying, but my family will be looked after by Dmitry for the rest of my life, and Roman Dmitry will surely appease my soul with definite revenge. whatever it is, whatever it is. I'll be labeled as a traitor for the rest of my life, but wouldn't I have to choose a risky job to make my worth shine?

squeaky.

got up from his seat

Then.

"The tea was good."

As if he had accomplished his purpose, Count Fabius walked out without any regrets.

The Secret Chamber of Valhalla.

Under the leadership of the Marquis of Belfir, the nobles of Valhalla gathered in secret.

asked a nobleman.

" What happened to Kronos?"

to a cautious question.

Marquis Belfir shook his head.

"The Kronos Empire has expressed its intention to refuse. If we join forces with Valhalla, it's a great opportunity to break Dmitry's nose, but they say they won't get involved in this. Perhaps they are trying to make a profit while standing by."

this.

"Ha."

Screams poured out from all sides.

Alliance with Kronos.

It was the only chance to turn things around.

However, when Kronos showed a firm refusal attitude, the nobles of Valhalla had no choice but to be frustrated.

Marquis Belfir said.

"We are now in a corner. Emperor Valhalla still has not revealed his power, and regardless of the victory or defeat of the war, we are inevitably suffering damage. So, after much deliberation, I came to a conclusion. Rather than being uprooted by the roots of the family due to excessive recruitment of troops, how about we lead this rebellion?"

"Please explain in detail."

The eyes of the nobles changed.

Actually.

They have already accepted the possibility of betrayal.

Since they were like-minded people, I was able to sit in a secret room where no one could be invited.

"Anyway, the rebels or the emperor. It is a battle that will end only when one side is annihilated. In a situation like the one we have now, when the mainstream is leaning towards the rebels, our judgment can determine the course of the war. First, in the name of subjugating the rebels, the capital's troops will be evacuated outside as much as possible. And when the border is weakened, if we attack the capital from inside and outside at the same time and deal with the Emperor Valhalla, we can rather take the position of leading the rebellion. At that time, even as Duke of Vieto, there was no reason to be hostile to us. Because our goals are the same, we will still be able to survive as powerful people in the future that will change in the future."

"It's risky, but it seems like a good way for now."

I agree.

opinions were gathered.

Now, even at this moment, their hearts were beating.

Betraying the Emperor Valhalla in Valhalla was suicidal, but there was no other way for them.

Above all.

Wasn't the Marquis Belfir carrying a gun?

They believed in the Marquis of Belfir.

But the truth was a little different.

The Marquis of Belfir, too, would not have taken the great risk of leading a rebellion if Roman Dmitry hadn't pushed his back.

The nobles of Valhalla were deceived by him.

The Marquis of Belfir expressed it as if it was the future for everyone, thinking that the truth might be clouded if she revealed the truth that her life was at stake.

blast furnace.

hid the truth

After winning the consent of the nobles, he talked about his future plans.

"The plan is in the next two weeks. With enough plates laid out, we will write a new history for Valhalla."

time this week.

The nobles of Valhalla did not know that it was a period that coincided with the full moon predicted by Roman Dmitry.

* * *

Time passed quickly.

last this week.

fought a fierce battle.

Roman Dmitry harassed the subjugation forces of Valhalla with a hit-and-run attack, but over the course of this week, he was forced to be pushed to the very edge of the northern border.

If I had hoped for more results, I would have pushed forward even if it was unreasonable.

However, in the first place, the purpose was to distract and torment Valhalla, so it was moved in a line that minimized damage to the troops.

poof.

drew his sword

With the blood coming out of it, Roman Dmitry looked around in a dignified manner.

'Is this far?'

around.

There were corpses piled up like a mountain.

Count Gomes followed relentlessly, but the result was the sight we see now.

They inflicted considerable damage on the subjugation team by way of a surprise attack or cutting the tail.

In the process, Dmitry's allied forces were not without damage, but compared to the casualties of the enemy, the damage of the friendly forces was very small.

border edge.

Now it was his turn to retreat.

Kronos expressed his desire to continue the truce negotiations, but could not allow further damage to prepare for a war with them.

The war was also coming to an end.

Since it was not an all-out war led by Dmitry, it was now completely left to the rebels of Hernard and the rebels of Marquis Belfir.

Chris came over and said.

" Do you think the rebellion of the Marquis of Belfir will succeed?"

Meantime.

It wasn't that there were no results.

After the Marquis of Belfir decided to revolt, he kept in contact with Dmitry, who deliberately drew attention, giving him time to prepare for the revolt.

Certainly there has never been a better opportunity than this.

As Hernard's rebels gradually inflated and marched into the capital, and the people's riots intensified, even as Emperor Valhalla, the revolt of the Marquis Belfir would not be expected.

However.

"The revolt will fail."

The Marquis of Belfir had a fatal problem.

The presence of a strong person who will decide the match immediately.

it wasn't

No matter how unexpectedly the Marquis Belfir attacks the emperor, the special power possessed by the emperor Valhalla will overpower the difference in numbers at once.

Immortal warriors and royal wizards. Despite only confirming some, Roman Dmitry knew just how reckless this uprising was.

The same was true of the Marquis of Belfir.

He knew it was impossible, but he risked his life for the slightest possibility that he would die if he didn't kill him.

"The revolt of the Marquis Belfir is only the beginning. The rebellion will be suppressed, but the Valhalla royal family will suffer heavy losses, and the rebellion will be prolonged due to Hernard's rebels and angry people. That alone is enough to achieve our purpose. While Valhalla is distracted, we will prepare for war against Kronos."

Okay.

Through this.

Dmitry's role is over.

From now on, we will wait and see and take another advantage in the future.

And the next day.

Unexpected news struck Dmitry.

"Emperor Valhalla is dead! The Marquis of Belfir has successfully revolted!"

rebellion success.

It was an unexpected, truly shocking result.
