Episode 343: A country that has lost its romance (1)
That time.
Roman Dmitry, who returned to Dmitri, met Sánchez as Count Bragan expected.
“I heard it through rumors. “He joined the Duke of Vieto’s faction and is leading the rebellion.”
“yes. Thanks to Roman Dmitry for his advice. In order to fight against the atrocities of the Emperor of Valhalla, I needed the help of a great man like Duke Vieto, and he gladly accepted my offer.”
“So what business did you come to see me for?”
Sanchez laughed.
It was the same now as it was in the past.
Even back then, Roman Dmitry was a person with clear lines.
Even in a situation where Valhalla was openly threatening, he did not ask for help, and instead advised him to go to Duke Vieto.
As a result, Sanchez’s future changed significantly.
As a disciple of Morales, he only pursued strength, but now he realizes the importance of politics and follows Vieto into the core of the rebellion.
blast furnace.
The meeting with Roman Dmitry was important.
Even if there was a past relationship, the other person was not the type of person to give unpaid favors.
Sanchez said.
“… … First, let me briefly explain the situation in Valhalla. Currently, the Valhalla Empire is divided into the forces of Emperor Valhalla and the rebel forces that follow Duke Vieto. What our rebels seek is to restore the roots of Valhalla. As you know, Valhalla was originally a nation of warriors who competed purely for strength, and they were able to gain the support of the people by criticizing the actions of the Emperor Valhalla, which tarnished its meaning. The problem is that that alone cannot defeat the Emperor of Valhalla.”
rebel forces.
They spread out and raised their voices.
Looking at the cheering people, I was confident of victory, but the reality that unfolded before my eyes was hopeless.
The emperor’s soldiers attacked.
All those who joined the rebel army were slaughtered, and those who had just been crying out for the foundation of Valhalla fell to the ground with faces filled with fear.
There was no way to do anything.
Everyone knows that the rebels’ cause is excellent, but the reason for their silence so far has been the imperial family’s overwhelming force.
massacre.
Everyone died.
They are said to be a rebel force, but so far, they have been unilaterally submitting to the emperor’s power.
“At the moment, there is no chance for us to win. The top rankers in 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. I need Dmitri’s help. “The rebels alone will never be able to defeat the emperor, so we desperately need a solution to fill the gap.”
today.
The powers that be in Valhalla paid attention to Roman Dmitri.
Even though he was not from Valhalla, his actions and recognition within Valhalla were overwhelming.
“The people of Valhalla describe Roman Dmitri as a true warrior. Even though he knew that Kronos and Valhalla, the two major mountain ranges on the continent, were threatening his life, he participated in the festival of Valhalla, defeated Barbossa in one go, and returned to Dmitri, which is still talked about by people. I am confident that Roman Dmitry’s joining the rebels will not only increase his power, but will also have a tremendous effect due to its symbolism alone. If you help us take down the Emperor of Valhalla. Valhalla is an ally of Dmitry and will not spare any support.”
It was a kill, two wins.
Not only does it secure symbolism.
It was a deal to obtain a powerful being named Roman Dmitri, who could slaughter the top rankers in Valhalla.
I had to make it happen no matter what.
Sanchez uttered each word with earnest heart.
however.
“If it is an offer to directly participate in the rebellion in Valhalla, I cannot accept it.”
An answer without any hesitation.
Roman Dmitri looked at the embarrassed Sanchez and spoke firmly.
“What exactly means is that I cannot be the solution to Valhalla.”
* * *
It was a perplexing answer.
I wasn’t sure that he would help me unconditionally, but I didn’t expect him to refuse so sharply.
Think about it.
The Valhalla Emperor had a bad relationship with Roman Dmitry.
He invited Roman Dmitri to the Valhalla festival with the intention of killing him, and when Barbossa was defeated, he ignored the attack of the Kronos Empire.
At that moment, the relationship was resolved.
Roman Dmitry, who has proven how to deal with hostile forces through his actions so far, will definitely not miss the opportunity to take revenge on the Emperor of Valhalla.
furthermore.
Recently, Valhalla showed signs of being in cahoots with Kronos.
It was a simple problem.
Since Kronos had a hostile relationship with Dmitri, it was necessary to eliminate the Emperor of Valhalla, who had the possibility of allying with Kronos.
The alliance with the rebel forces is truly beneficial to Roman Dmitry.
If the danger called Valhalla was secured by an ally, there could not have been a more ideal outcome.
What was questionable was Roman Dmitry’s nuance.
Rather than a complete rejection, it left room for question.
Sanchez asked.
“May I ask what you meant?”
“It’s exactly as I just heard. If I join the civil war in Valhalla and lead the rebellion, your cause will inevitably lose its power. Valhalla is a country of pure bloodism. No matter how good of a reputation I have in Valhalla, the moment a non-Valhalla person points a sword at the Emperor of Valhalla, the people will turn away. I will ask you. “If the rebels lose the support of the people, do you think you have a chance of victory?”
“… … doesn’t exist.”
“okay. Therefore, bringing down the emperor from his position must be done through the power of Valhalla alone.”
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.
However, if an outsider leads the process.
There was nothing funnier than that.
As a rebel force that was overwhelmingly outgunned, there was virtually no chance of victory if it lost the support of the people.

Sanchez was faced with a dilemma.
I would have to somehow get Roman Dmitry’s help to make up for the power gap, but after being pointed out a realistic problem, my future looked bleak.
The water spilled.
If you step back from here.
It was clear that the Emperor of Valhalla would execute everyone who participated in the rebellion, leaving no one behind.
suddenly.
The word direct came to mind.
Doesn’t the meaning that you can’t help directly mean that you can help indirectly?
It was then.
Roman Dmitry said.
“But it is possible to help indirectly. It’s a matter of Dmitri and Valhalla that has nothing to do with you. Not in a way that elevates you, but in a way that puts others down. In order to complete this deal, I will also have to accept a certain amount of compensation. “The conditions I wish for are simple.”
“… … “What is that?”
I laughed.
Roman Dmitry had an answer in mind from the moment he met Sánchez, who he had no choice but to accept as an opponent.
“A temporary alliance that will remain in effect until Kronos is defeated. “I hope that Valhalla will not become an obstacle to my future.”
* * *
The same words had different meanings depending on the nuance.
Sanchez.
Roman Dmitry.
What each presented was the same.
Both spoke of overthrowing the Emperor of Valhalla and forming a union between Dmitry and Valhalla, but if what Sánchez wanted was coexistence, Roman Dmitry asked for a temporary understanding.
Once we achieve our mutual goals, we can turn around at any time.
A relationship that cannot be said to be a perfect ally.
Sanchez thought for a while.
He knew that they might be hostile towards him in the future, but he had no other choice.
“I will accept Dmitry’s offer.”
like that.
Sanchez left.
It was decided to proceed according to Roman Dmitry’s plan, and Dmitry joined hands with the rebels, albeit temporarily.
A space left alone.
Roman Dmitry drank tea and thought about the future.
“Alexandr. “You want me to join the civil war.”
A scene seen through the World Tree.
Alexander is leading the civil war in Valhalla, and is obviously hoping that Roman Dmitry will also be drawn into the rebellion.
It was an ideal scenario for Kronos.
As the Emperor of Valhalla and the rebels fight each other, Valhalla’s power will be eroded, and Roman Dmitry will also suffer a blow at the same time.
I didn’t worry.
Taking a step back and conserving strength was one way, but that was far from the direction he had in mind.
‘I will not avoid it.’
onlooking.
Staying away from the situation does not solve the problem.
If the Emperor of Valhalla suppressed the rebellion, then he would have to worry about the worst-case scenario of Kronos and Valhalla uniting.
Roman Dmitry did not entrust his future to heaven.
I will lead the civil war in Valhalla from the beginning, and I will achieve the desired outcome even at the cost of sacrifice.
For that reason.
A temporary alliance was proposed to Sánchez.
Roman Dmitry accepted the union of kingdoms.
Luna, Cairo, and Hector said they would become subjects, but other countries still had a strong sense of union.
However, no clear line was drawn against them.
Countries accustomed to being ruled by the strong from the beginning would naturally accept Dmitri, but the Valhalla Empire had different prerequisites.
They are predators.
Beings who do not know how to surrender.
Even if Kronos falls, Valhalla can exist as Dmitri and the two great mountains as before, but it will not accept bowing its head as a country of subjects.
So I drew a line. It was clearly stated that this was a temporary union.
Although he would participate in the rebellion and undermine Valhalla’s power and prepare for war with Kronos, Roman Dmitry did not hide at all the fact that his desired goal was beyond that.
This was why Sanchez was embarrassed.
The enormous ambition left him speechless for a while, but it was an offer he couldn’t refuse from the beginning.
took control of the situation.
Kronos instigates war.
Valhalla asks for help.
Everyone hoped to attract Dmitry, but in the end, Roman Dmitry did his bidding.
widely.
I put down the teacup.
“Hans.”
“Yes, did you call me?”
There was a lot of work to do from now on.

That evening.
Wandering around the guest room, Count Bragan chewed his fingernails.
“… … “Are you saying you won’t meet me at all?”
Sanchez leaves.
I asked to meet right away.
I thought he would meet me now, but the servant serving Roman Dmitri firmly said no.
“Right now, Master, you are taking care of personal business. “Please wait in the guest room and we will contact you as soon as we have time.”
As I waited, the day became dark.
I got annoyed.
I was not unaware of the fact that the Emperor of Valhalla had ill feelings towards him, but it was still not the right response to make the guests of Valhalla wait.
What if Kronos and Valhalla join hands?
No matter how strong Roman Dmitry is, there is no way he can handle two empires.
Regardless of personal feelings, it is not an issue for a decision-maker in charge of a country to respond emotionally like this.
I endured it for now.
If you rush, you may end up doing something wrong.
Count Bragan suppressed his boiling anger and waited for Roman Dmitri to find him.
day.
Two days.
On the third day, when the sun rose, Count Bragan exploded.
“Damn you Dmitri. How long are you going to wait? Billy!”
“yes.”
Billy was an escort driver.
When I saw him coming inside, I spoke in a nervous voice.
“It’s okay if we don’t meet right away, so do whatever you can to set an appointment date. We are not people who deserve to be treated like this. “If you show us that fact, Roman Dmitry will no longer be able to postpone our meeting.”
“All right.”
Negotiation is not about bowing down unconditionally.
If it stays like this.
Even if you sit at the negotiating table, you will inevitably lose the initiative, so you need to reveal your position.
Representative of Valhalla.
This is not a position to be ignored.
Carrying the Emperor of Valhalla on my back was worth it.
dump.
I sat down on the sofa.
From now on it was time to wait.
Thinking that good news would arrive now, Count Bragan calmed down a bit and enjoyed the scent of the tea.
But 30 minutes later.
Squeak.
“… … Ship, Count.”
Billy came in.
His face, which had been triumphant when he received the order, suddenly became unrecognizable.
“What’s happening?!”
I jumped up from my seat.
What on earth happened in the last 30 minutes?
Billy said in a voice tinged with fear.
“… … Kevin. “Dmitry’s demon made me like this.”
