just remarks.

Earl Snowdin doubted his ears.

He looked at Roman Dmitry and said in a trembling voice.

" It's a war crime country. Valhalla officially signed an armistice agreement, and misunderstandings were resolved in the process? It was a difficult step to discuss the future of the continent, but if you say that, I can't help but bewildered."

swallowed dry saliva.

Something is definitely wrong.

Roman Dmitry raised sensitive issues, and the expressions of other people who were not embarrassed by the current situation.

But he never showed an angry reaction.

I instinctively knew that I could live and return to this place only if I didn't accept it as a problem.

and.

At Roman Dmitry's subsequent remarks, Count Snowdin's heart sank.

"Count Snowdin. The starting point of this war was the Valhalla Empire. From the time Valhalla attacked me to cover up the ugly truth, the flames of war spread across the continent. But how can you say that Valhalla is not responsible? In order to discuss the future of the continent, we must first resolve this issue clearly."

It was chilly.

Unlike other representatives, in an attitude where no manners could be found, uneasy feelings were more prevalent.

The trap was clear.

The reason why Valhalla was brought to this place was to bring Valhalla to the judgment seat in the first place.

That was then.

Roman Dmitry looked at him, and Lucas took a step forward.

"Now, I will tell you what the Dmitry Information Guild investigated. The conflict between Dmitry and Valhalla begins with the Tomb of the South. In order to confirm the truth of the data that Kronos was directly involved in the history of Valhalla, we investigated the past, and as a result, we confirmed the circumstance that the Duke of Vieto was present when Stern Valhalla ascended to the throne. There was a truth different from what the Duke of Vieto had claimed in the material, secretly recorded by the captain of the guard. Then we have no choice but to question this situation. If the Duke of Vieto was related to Stern Valhalla, what did they hope to gain from the civil war?"

The soldiers handed out materials.

In addition to the secret diary of the commander of the guard, the activities of Duke Vieto were revealed in various places.

"As this is a sensitive issue, I will exclude speculative remarks from this announcement. What is certain is that on the day Stern Valhalla carried out the bloody purge, the Duke of Vieto was the one who took the lead. The truth of the civil war between Stern Valhalla and the Duke of Vieto was, in fact, a show of people who had the same purpose from the beginning. And Count Snowdin, who is present here, is the person who discussed a lot with the Duke of Vieto. Long ago, when the bloody purges took place."

Lucas saw Count Snowdin.

In his eyes shaking with anxiety, he finished the report with a calm voice.

That is all.

* * *

was an outsider.

The truth of Valhalla.

If the Duke of Vieto was the one who led the bloody purge, then Count Snowdin could not escape the responsibility.

excuses for not knowing?

It meant nothing.

The decision maker is the person responsible for the outcome, and above all, this issue was the treatment of war criminals.

If the Valhalla waged a Continental War to bury their ugly truth, Roman Dmitry could not refute the point first mentioned.

It felt like my blood was running dry.

Unsure of how to react, said Roman Dmitry.

"Alexander was unforgivable. He drew in the power of black magic for personal desire, and the continent fell into chaos. Count Snowdin. In order for the continent to move in the right direction in the future, how do you think the treatment of those related to Alexander should be done?"

" I am sorry. I only served Duke Vieto, but I don't know what he planned."

took a step back

Even though I know it doesn't make any sense.

I had no choice but to assert my irrelevance.

In order to somehow survive, he had to assert that he had no intentions in this situation.

Roman Dmitry laughed.

"That is not the right answer. Duke of Stern Valhalla and Vieto. They had the same purpose from the beginning, and at the center of it was Alexander. The civil war in Valhalla was thoroughly calculated. We only pretended to threaten each other, but when we got into a corner, we didn't stop breathing. In fact, looking back now, it was a very unusual situation. The fact that the rebels of the Duke of Vieto were able to withstand without collapsing, and that they were able to take down the capital of Valhalla with barely enough troops and deal with Stern Valhalla. In the process, you and the Duke of Vieto made every decision. If so, there are two truths you can assert. Either one knew the truth, or the other was at the center of the truth and was so incompetent and stupid that he didn't know anything. And whatever the truth... ."

My heart raced.

Looking into Roman Dmitry's gaze, Count Snowdin felt as if his vitality was burning.

"There is no reason to keep you alive."

I shut my eyes tight.

finally.

It was as expected.

For Count Snowdin, who came to power after the death of Duke Vieto, there was no way to avoid this situation from the beginning.

He could not deny the ugly truth of Valhalla.

In that case, the material of the tomb would have to be released, and it was clear that he would be dragged to the execution table even more horribly.

My mind went blank.

How the hell did this happen

Apparently, even when he was heading to Kronos, he was in agreement with the leaders of Valhalla and spoke of the distant future.

Even though it was really humiliating now, I firmly believed that the decision to let go of my pride was for the future.

However.

The results were disastrous.

At the thought that everything had been planned from the beginning, Earl Snowdin was horrified.

'It was intentional from the beginning of the armistice negotiations. Roman Dmitry probably wasn't trying to give me a chance, but he was proposing a truce in order to exclude Valhalla from the process of dealing with the Kronos Empire. Even though he already had the data to put us in a corner from then on, he completely fooled around with us. If I had noticed Roman Dmitry's intentions at that time, I'd have worked hard to the end like Kronos, but I don't have the strength to fight it right now.'

finished.

However, he could not accept the reality.

If I showed an acknowledgment, it would be like digging my own grave.

The only way.

All I had to do was appeal to public opinion.

As there were other representatives watching him, Count Snowdin changed his expression and raised his voice.

"This is unfair treatment. Dmitry is not qualified to judge Valhalla. The same goes for other delegates. If you support Dmitry in this way, the arrow may be directed at you later. I deny all allegations made by Dmitry, and I will arrange an explanation for this as soon as possible."

jumped up

At first, I tried to avoid the seat.

That moment.

q

Whoa!

head banged on the table.

He opened his eyes with a bewildered face, but no matter how much he struggled, he could not shake the hand that was pressing on his head.

it was kevin

Kevin pressed Count Snowdin's face, whispering in his ear.

"Do it there. If you don't want your tongue cut off.

I found out then

A cold gaze focused on himself.

The fact that his judgment had already been decided in advance.

* * *

Things were sorted out.

Count Snowdin was taken away by the soldiers, and it was decided that the execution would be carried out in batches thereafter.

now.

It was time to discuss the future in earnest.

Roman Dmitry said.

"First of all, we would like to carry out a major purge of the people involved in this Continental War, including Count Snowdin. There are no exceptions. Those who took an active part, even if not directly involved, will be held accountable, and this opportunity will certainly uproot the remnants of Alexander."

"What are you going to do after that? The vacant position has to be replaced by someone."

It was King Redford.

In response to the expected question, I explained the plan I had prepared in advance.

"The purpose of this war is not to bring down and annex the two empires. Valhalla and Kronos have maintained their own identities for a long time, and they have decided that in order for each country to regain stability in the aftermath of the war, it is necessary to maintain the original system. Of course, that doesn't mean it's the same as before. Valhalla and Kronos will still exist as one nation, but they will not be able to exercise the same power as before, under the control of the Kingdom Confederation. Therefore, the vacancy will be replaced by others."

already.

I picked out a few characters.

Among them, the profiles of the most influential figures were compiled and presented to the representatives of each country.

"After discussing with the two imperial powers that helped in this war, they wanted to bring forward the characters in the document. The Valhalla Empire is Baron Airn. When Valhalla declared the Continental War, he gathered the rest of the forces and fought against Earl Snowdin. Although the title is only a baron, he already has considerable support within Valhalla. The Kronos Empire is Jowelson Creut. The Creut family has been a prestigious family in Kronos from generation to generation, and the people of the Creut family have made a significant contribution in this war. Both characters will be fully recognized for their legitimacy in their own countries."

"It's the best option for now."

"The worrying part is that empires are empires after all. Do you think you will be able to control them after they regain their strength?"

Some have positive comments.

Some showed negative comments.

In response to King Umberto's question, Roman Dmitry said.

"That is the purpose of the Kingdom unity. The Kingdom Union will be responsible for monitoring the entire continent, not just for the private gain of the nations present. Dmitry is no different. If anyone tries to repeat the mistakes of the past, then the power of the Kingdom Union will strongly deter them. I'll ask you guys. Kronos and Valhalla. Do you think they can achieve anything, even if they do things that they worry about in the future?"

It was great confidence.

and.

I had no choice but to admit.

Even when Alexander's plans reached the climax, the two major mountain ranges of the continent met a disastrous defeat.

But no matter how much time passes, will he be able to overcome Roman Dmitry's wall, which will become even stronger? In short, it was impossible.

It was possible for Roman Demetrigy to win this war in the first place.

In the world he will create in the future, no one will be able to surpass Dmitry's existence.

people in this place.

They knew the truth.

The fact that if Roman Dmitry had a coercive attitude like Kronos, no one could stop it.

Still, Roman Dmitry spoke common sense.

Everyone suggested a way to live by forming their own fences, and everyone did not know that it is not easy for the strong to give up their rights.

That was then.

"There is something I want to tell you."

Edwin Hector.

After being silent throughout the meeting, he spoke up for the first time.

* * *

Edwin Hector said.

"I agree with Roman Dmitry's direction. If you try to forcibly merge Kronos and Valhalla, which have more than half the continent's population, cultural differences that arise in the process will inevitably cause problems. In the end, acknowledging each other's domain would be a way to solve the fundamental problem. But before that, there are issues that need to be cleared up."

The world was changing.

In this turbulent flow, Edwin Hector knew what to prioritize.

"Kronos and Valhalla, who ruled the continent, have collapsed. In the new world to live in the future, in order to follow the laws that everyone thinks is right, we need someone who can definitely control the continent. In fact, this war was very unusual. The Kingdom Union was defeated, but with only one person, Roman Dmitry, the war was won. From then on, I think the upper-lower relationship has already been established. And in this regard, a few days ago, the heads of the Kingdom Union held a separate meeting."

The voice grew louder.

what you are saying now.

It was a decision to unite the kingdom.

No one forced them, but they themselves came to a conclusion.

Edwin Hector bowed his head and shouted.

"Sir. Become the emperor of a new empire and rule us."

At the same time.

The heads of other kingdoms also bowed their heads at the same time.

"Become the emperor of a new empire, rule us."

"Become the emperor of a new empire, rule us."

it made sense

Kingdom Union.

They accepted Roman Dmitry as the leader of the new world.
