Episode 319 Prisoner of War (4)
As Count Munez, he was a single-minded man.
The superiors turned a blind eye.
Roman Dmitry went to the extreme.
Caught in the middle and in a situation where his life was in danger, he screamed to bring the prisoners to him in order to survive.
As a result.
“… … “We brought all the prisoners.”
Baron Brighton, another eastern nobleman, spoke in place of the dead Baron MacHitton with a look of horror on his face.
It had to be that way.
The prisoners brought in at first were still in good condition, but the condition of the prisoners brought in now was very miserable.
The atmosphere was cold and frozen.
Beyond Roman Dmitry, Dmitry’s soldiers watching the situation could not hide their anger.
prisoners.
These are people who were once colleagues.
His heavy breathing and clenched lips made him ready to draw his sword and run away if he were to give an order.
Among them.
Lucas said, stepping forward.
“It does not match the list identified by the Intelligence Guild. “There are still prisoners who are not here.”
“okay?”
Moment.
The atmosphere became more violent.
When the soldiers looked at him as if they were going to kill him for still lying, Baron Brighton was astonished and waved his hands.
“Oh, no. I really brought everything. I don’t know what criteria the list was created on… … If there were prisoners who were not here, they would have died before that. These are definitely not the people who died because of us. As you know, aren’t there many prisoners of war who are in poor health from the time they are first captured? “Such people soon suffered and died.”
He knew it too.
It’s a lie that will soon be discovered.
The other prisoners here clearly witnessed the prisoners being tortured to death, but they spoke out whatever came to mind in order to overcome the immediate crisis.
In fact, quite a few people died from war wounds.
But no matter what the truth was, I felt like it shouldn’t be revealed that he was tortured to death.
Roman Dmitry inspected the prisoners.
Everyone was a mess.
Although they seemed to be having a hard time due to what had happened so far, they showed complicated expressions upon learning that Roman Dmitry had come to save them.
Although I felt happy and relieved that I was alive, I felt sad and painful thinking about my colleagues who had died.
I couldn’t describe my current feelings in words.
The gaze stopped.
Looking at the man who was believed to have been the most recently tortured person, he looked at Baron Brighton again and said,
“To me it looks like you were tortured. In that case, many of those not here would have died from torture.”
I was speechless.
There was no excuse.
While Baron Brighton was rolling his eyes, Roman Dmitry approached the man.
“Carol. “What happened to you during this time?”
* * *
When they first said they were releasing the prisoners.
People, including Carol, doubted the reality before their eyes.
“Roman Dmitry crossed the border to save you. It’s okay to be happy. “You will return to Dmitri.”
My heart sank.
I couldn’t believe it.
Even as they boarded the carriage for the convoy, people could not accept that this was reality.
“… … “Really, you came to save us after receiving that short message?”
I was mesmerized.
Carol’s magical communication.
The connection was only made for about 3 seconds, and words could not be conveyed properly due to unstable communication conditions.
So the prisoners fell into despair.
Carol risked her life to save the last chance, but as she felt it had completely failed, she was convinced that it was over.
What kind of future awaits them in the future?
In a quarry where they are forced to do harsh labor, they will live and die namelessly.
however.
Dmitri has come to the rescue.
They felt overwhelmed by the fact that they had not been abandoned.
“… … Thank you, I really appreciate it.”
“Keuuk, kuuh.”
Inside the carriage.
The crying spread.
People who used to say that men don’t cry when their bodies were fine started crying like children.
The crying wouldn’t stop. I was truly grateful.
This could have been overlooked if Carol’s magical communications had been ignored, but Roman Dmitry showed interest in the possibility.
And when he became convinced that there were prisoners of war, he boldly crossed the border of Kronos and claimed the prisoners.
They knew it too.
That is not an easy decision.

The country’s leaders handle everything cautiously due to political interests, and usually choose to sacrifice a few, especially when it comes to issues that could lead to war.
Think about it.
You can’t put so many people in danger just to save hundreds of people who aren’t even sure if they’re dead or alive anyway.
For that reason, commoners were often trampled helplessly like insignificant ants.
Prisoner of war.
It’s a sensitive issue.
Knowing this, Roman Dmitry showed through his actions that he was prepared for war from the beginning.
crossed the border
I drew my sword.
The strong will to get his people back, even at the risk of going to war, put the prisoners back in their place.
And now.
“Carol. “What happened to you during this time?”
The way you look at yourself.
Carol’s eyes wavered.
I was thankful that he came to save me like this, but Roman Dmitry remembered my name and asked me what happened so far.
I don’t remember having a personal conversation.
If so, it means that I studied especially for this moment, so I covered my face and burst into tears from the overwhelming emotions.
That person.
He is my master.
Carol, who had remained strong even while being tortured, spoke about what had happened with her face filled with tears.
“… … I was tortured. I was abused. They treated us like animals and made us work day and night in the quarry, and if we showed any signs of rest, they whipped us harshly. My lord. I still cannot forget the image of my colleague dying next to me, crushed by a stone. Seeing him screaming out loud and begging for his life, the devilish Kronos Empire mocked him and spat in his face. So I risked my life. “My lord hoped to save us from the abyss of despair, so he seized the magic communicator and announced the presence of the prisoners.”
My voice trembled.
He became more and more agitated and cried out as if he was letting out all the pain.
“Do you know what was the most painful while pulling out my fingernails, pulling out my toenails, and cutting my skin? Kronos’ lies turned my stomach. Dmitry was not a country that would abandon its own people, but he could not accept the fact that the despicable Kronos had hid the truth and negotiated a truce.”
That was a complaint.
These are not organized words.
It meant asking me to listen to what had happened so far.
Just as a child runs to his father and tells him, Roman Dmitry seemed like that to Carol.
How much did he vomit?
The crying has dried up.
I cried so much that I couldn’t even voice my voice anymore.
Roman Dmitry listened to the complaints until the end.
In the space where silence fell except for the two, Kronos’ soldiers did not dare to open their mouths at all.
It seemed like it had to be that way.
Just looking at it took my breath away.
Finally.
When Carol had let out all her emotions, Roman Dmitry asked:
“Who made you like that?”
In those words.
Carol turned her head and pointed at a man.
That man is.
It was Jason.
* * *
Jason’s face was stained with confusion.
He was in a hurry to explain the situation that had befallen him, but at that moment he screamed in terrible pain.
Flash.
“Kaaak!”
The hand that was waving flew away.
As he tried to run away with a terrified face, blood spurted from his Achilles tendon and his balance was lost.
Quadang!
I rolled around on the floor.
Because he lost his hand, he was unable to support the ground, and his Achilles tendon was cut, so even when he tried to get up, he fell face down on the ground several times like a newborn calf.
My body was shaking.
He never expected that he, who had an absolute upper hand when torturing Carol, would deteriorate to this level.
Roman Dmitry.
I walked towards Jason.
Baron Brighton stepped between the two and spoke in an earnest voice.
“Please, please. Stop it now. “Didn’t you comply with all our requests to bring back the prisoners?!”
Sigh.
He grabbed Jason’s hair.
As he hit the ground several times, Jason, who was bleeding from his forehead, showed tears and snot on his face in horror.
“This scum, he tortured my people. Then same thing. No, I have to return more than that.”
There was no compromise.
Roman Dmitry raised a dagger.
It was from then on.
A terrible situation was created.
They cut out pieces of Jason’s flesh while he was still alive, and stamped his face as he struggled and begged for his life.
Resistance meant nothing. Slowly, very slowly.
Roman Dmitry chose the most painful torture method while preserving Jason’s life.
Methods such as splitting teeth were a luxury for this guy.
Only a visible, blood-splattering method of torture could break down both body and spirit at the same time.
On the castle wall.
The soldiers of the Kronos Empire covered their mouths.
A scream rings out.
Blood splattered.
I looked away.
I couldn’t bear to look straight at the sight of the living being tortured.
however.
None of Dmitry’s soldiers looked away.
Roman Dmitry’s cruel side was accepted as is.
they knew
That cruelty does not threaten them.
That’s why they didn’t turn a blind eye and watched the person they followed and Carol’s revenge until the end.
yet.
Jason’s body went limp.
Roman Dmitry stood up and ran his hands through his blood-stained hair.
And then.
“Count Munez. “Contact higher-ups right now.”
He looked up at the top of the castle wall and showed a bloody smile.
* * *
Magical communication has been established.
The Marquis of Memphis, who was informed of the situation, let out a stern voice over the communicator.
[Roman Dmitry. Invading the border without warning is not enough, but I think killing the people of the Kronos Empire without warning is an act that is quite crossing the line. If you stop now. Let’s acknowledge some of our responsibility for not managing our subordinates properly, and let’s get this over with.]
A series of processes.
I crossed the line.
If only Baron MacHitton had been held responsible, the Marquis of Memphis would not have been so angry.
The problem was the process.
They unilaterally invaded the border and killed Baron MacHitton and Jason in front of everyone.
And very painfully.
The sight of Baron MacHitton, whose cheek was swollen after being hit, and Jason writhing in pain, touched the pride of the Kronos Empire.
How long will you tolerate it?
It felt like my patience was being tested.
In the voice of the Marquis of Memphis seething with anger, Roman Dmitry spoke.
“It is not up to you to decide whether to stop or not. This incident. Regardless of whose fault you have concluded within, those excuses are of no importance to me. From now on, I will give you a chance to prove your sincerity. I intend to kill everyone on the front line of defense in exchange for the lives of my people who were tortured to death. “If you still want to admit your mistakes and maintain the truce, we will burn this place down and then you will retreat.”
[Why on earth are you doing this? He recovered all of Dmitry’s prisoners and even brutally killed those involved. Is this not enough?]
I laughed.
He chuckled and conveyed his sincerity to the Marquis of Memphis over the wire.
“That’s how I know. “There needs to be a precedent that everything, whether against me or something else, doesn’t end properly, so from now on you won’t think you can end a situation with the same excuse.”
[Such a crazy bird… … .]
Tuk.
Communication was cut off.
and.
“Kill all enemies.”
At the command calmly issued, Dmitry’s soldiers rushed at once.
