Episode 359: Chicken game (7)
It was voice communication.
On behalf of the Valhalla Emperor, Marquis Belfir held up a magic communicator.
“Roman Dmitry. You are truly trying to see the end with Valhalla. Not only did he dare to intervene in Valhalla’s civil war, but he also incited the people to revolt. “Do you think Dmitri will be safe after that?”
It was a fierce voice.
The Marquis of Belfir urged his opponent and expressed his anger at the current situation.
[I think the relationship between Valhalla and Dmitri has already been established through the last magic communication. Either I step back and do nothing, or I do something more than what I am doing now. Was there room for change in our relationship?]
“okay. As you said, Valhalla and Dmitry crossed an irreversible river. by the way. Malice is a factor that determines how much we are willing to sacrifice for revenge. What you are doing now is encouraging our malice. Terrorizing dozens of territories, inducing the people of Valhalla to revolt, and setting fire to the northern granary region. “Because of your actions that threaten to shake the foundation of Valhalla, it means that we will stop at nothing to seek revenge.”
A glance.
I looked into the eyes of the Valhalla Emperor.
He clearly looked like he was enjoying the situation.
Marquis Belfir was faithful to the role assigned to him, as he did not care much about the safety of Valhalla.
“I assure you. There is no room for the situation to turn around due to what you do. Do you think we don’t know your intentions? They are probably trying to give the rebels some breathing room and, under their leadership, take down the Imperial House of Valhalla. That’s funny, Roman Dmitri. Hernad’s rebel army is already on the verge of collapse. After today. No, the rebels will be completely annihilated before the sun sets.”
Rebellion.
The problem was already over.
Count Gomes reported that he would overthrow Hernard within today, and in fact, looking at his objective strength, there was no room for Hernard to hold out.
In that case, Dmitry’s plan was as good as a failure.
No matter how wild Dmitry was, it lost meaning the moment the most important element, the rebels, was excluded.
I was full of confidence.
The Marquis of Belfir forcibly issued a warning to leave.
however.
[so?]
showed a smile
From the time Emperor Valhalla sent a million troops to Hernad, it was an established fact that the rebels would not be able to hold out.
[Unless you are optimistic about the situation, you knew from the beginning that it would be impossible to take down the Valhalla Empire with only 200,000 rebels. Nevertheless, the Duke of Vieto made a decision. He attempted a rebellion for the sake of Valhalla’s future, and unfortunately, he will pay the price when the rebellion fails.]
The nuance was strange.
According to Marquis Belfir’s prediction, Roman Dmitry should not have reacted like this.
[So we decided to completely abandon the rebels.]
* * *
Moment.
Marquis Belfir’s face was stained with embarrassment.
What on earth does this mean?
There would be no meaning if the rebels were excluded, but Roman Dmitry said he would abandon the rebels without hesitation.
[The reason we joined the rebellion is because it is destroying Valhalla from within. What do you think that means? This means that from the beginning, the rebels wanted the power to overthrow the Valhalla imperial family, and our priority was to use the rebels to cause damage to Valhalla in any direction. Rather than a relationship based on great loyalty and trust, we joined hands purely out of interest.]
No more.
There was nothing to hesitate about.
Even if the Valhalla imperial family holds on to this magical communication, it will not be able to calm the people’s anger due to the massacre already committed by the Valhalla emperor.
Then it was a very simple problem.
Valhalla found the essence of the game of chicken in the rebels, but Roman Dmitry thought in a different direction.
[Now that Hernad is collapsing. Why should we cling to the rebels?]
“… … “Well, what is that?”
It was a change of idea.
Hernad was abandoned.
The rebels gave up.
The next best thing was not to attract attention for them, but to move solely for Dmitry’s benefit.
[What I do is not to save the rebels. From now on, I will use the board made by the rebels to undermine Valhalla’s power as much as possible. If you and those who call for rebellion kill each other, Dmitry will benefit no matter who dies. If you set fire to the granary. With the aftermath of the rebellion, things will not be easy for you for a few years. That is my desired goal. Since the best way to destroy the Imperial House of Valhalla has failed, we must completely trample on it to prevent it from rising.]
It was a funny situation.
Valhalla was under the illusion that Dmitry would not give up the rebels until the end, and showed foolishness in not returning its troops even when the North was in shambles.
From the beginning, this fight was unconditionally beneficial to Dmitry.
Regardless of the outcome, Roman Dmitry accepted Sánchez’s offer because he believed it would be beneficial.
Chicken game.
It hit me in a different way.
Marquis Belfir’s face began to harden at his choice to abandon the rebels and devastate the North.
[Marquis of Belfir. I told you so. If you think that the problem will be solved with such complacent thoughts. In the end, you will meet me.]
I laughed.
From beginning to end, Roman Dmitry toyed with his opponents.
[You’d better keep that in mind.]
That’s the end of it.
Tuk.
Communication was lost.
* * *
A series of situations.
The conference room fell into silence.
As Roman Dmitry intended, they could not speak hastily.
‘… … We have fallen into a trap.’
It was truly a dilemma.
Because the conflict with the people had already intensified, the situation could not be calmed down through a conversation with Roman Dmitry, and even if the troops were brought back, the situation that had already suffered enormous damage would not be resolved.
the problem is.

This means that it is still an ongoing situation.
Hernad’s rebel army was holding out until the end, and the flames of rebellion were spreading throughout the country due to Roman Dmitry’s terrorist attacks.
And Dmitry’s army was devastating the North.
I was at a loss.
Marquis Belfir looked at the Emperor of Valhalla with a nervous face as he was faced with the problems that had to be resolved from now on.
“… … Your Majesty the Emperor. It looks like we will have to withdraw our troops. Hernad’s remaining remnants, which are now few, are of no importance. If we do not quell the flames of rebellion that are quickly spreading throughout Valhalla and suppress Dmitry’s army, the situation is likely to worsen. “Please give me orders.”
“Please give orders.”
“Please give orders.”
The leaders of Valhalla.
They raised their voices.
They also sympathized with the problem.
Thinking that if things continued like this, there might be a really big problem, I first tried to bring back part of the 1 million army.
however.
The Valhalla Emperor actually smiled.
“Tsk tsk tsk, I’m sure. Roman Dmitry is a type of human being I have never experienced in my life. If it were an ordinary person, he would have kneeled dozens of times, but he showed his fierce teeth and said he would not back down until the end. Marquis of Belfir.”
“yes.”
“We are not retreating.”
“but… … !”
“In addition to the troops sent to Hernad, there are sufficient forces remaining in Valhalla. The loss that Valhalla has to bear due to this incident is not important. What I hope is that we will not take a single step back from the war against Roman Dmitry. Recruit his troops and send them north. “The situation in the granary area will be resolved, and the troops sent to Hernad will be brought back after the rebels are completely eliminated.”
That too.
It was great stubbornness.
Roman Dmitry’s actions irritated the Valhalla emperor.
The Valhalla Emperor destroyed the warp gate, blocking the escape route so that they could not back out of the game of chicken, and Roman Dmitry also made a move to abandon the rebels.
How interesting is this?
In response to the dramatic changes that occurred in his once boring life, the Emperor of Valhalla insisted on his personal selfish desires.
Marquis Belfir gritted his teeth.
I wanted to tell the truth.
I wanted to shout out to them to take care of Valhalla’s safety, but Valhalla was a country where everything was done according to the emperor’s will.
“… … “I will follow your orders.”
I bowed my head.
I swallowed my disgust.
suddenly.
Roman Dmitry’s remarks came to mind.
What does it mean to keep in mind that you will meet yourself?
It was then.
Suddenly.
“Your Majesty the Emperor! “There’s a problem!”
The ominousness grew bigger and bigger.
The imperial knight entered the conference room and made a statement that shocked everyone.
“We just received a report from Marin’s guards that Roman Dmitry has visited!”
* * *
Marin’s Guard.
They doubted reality.
The entity that visited the capital of Valhalla was the entity that the current Valhalla imperial family must deal with.
“I am Roman Dmitri of the Kingdom of Dmitri.”
He revealed his identity.
The guards looked at each other.
I couldn’t understand how Roman Dmitry, who was clearly known to be in the north, showed up in Marin.
Moreover, visiting Marin was tantamount to suicide. There was chaos on the castle walls.
Although we had prepared a solid defense against possible attacks, they absurdly opened the castle gate first.
‘Bring Roman Dmitri in.’
It was an order from superiors.
Whatever Roman Dmitry’s intentions, he couldn’t just miss this great opportunity.
Squeak.
thud.
The gate came down.
Marin’s Guard.
And the Royal Knights immediately surrounded the surroundings, keeping Roman Dmitri on guard. There was certainly no other being besides him.
The sight of Roman Dmitry entering alone created an immediate sense of tension, and as time passed, the retreat route was completely blocked by soldiers flocking from the direction of the imperial palace.
thud.
The gate closed again.
It was a rat in a poison.
The guard commander, who understood the situation, cautiously asked while aiming his sword.
“Roman Dmitry. “Why did Marin visit?”
gulp.
I heard someone swallowing.
that much.
It was a tense situation.
The notoriety that Roman Dmitry showed on the battlefield was great, and if he had bad intentions, he would have to endure enormous damage to subdue Roman Dmitry.
However, I did not expect that the worst situation would come from just one person.
This is the capital of Valhalla. Here in Valhalla, known as the land of warriors, it was realistically impossible for even Roman Dmitri to survive.
So more.
I was cautious.
I was sure that Roman Dmitry, who was as clever as he was armed, must have another purpose.
Roman Dmitry said.
“Valhalla’s defenses are thorough. The walls of Marin are high and strong enough to be called an iron castle, and due to the magic circle that hinders magic, there is no way to enter inside using magic except for the warp gate. If so, you have no choice but to choose two ways to enter Marin. The first is to tear down Cheolongseong Fortress and enter inside. And the second… … .”
He twitched and laughed.
This operation.
This was precisely the reason why Chris opposed it.
With the plan being so risky, Chris said that even Roman Dmitry would be risky this time.
“Valhalla opens its own gates.”
Moment.
The situation has turned bloody.
The guard captain shouted at the meaning conveyed by the message.
“Attack!”
It was then.
Roman Dmitry took a step back.
He took something out of his pocket and tore it up as if to show off.
Sigh-
“Blackout, dark cloud.”
Blackout that temporarily weakens magical power.
A dark cloud that temporarily turns the surroundings into darkness.
Crumbling.
The sound was drowned out.
The images of the Valhalla soldiers were buried in the darkness as they rushed forward due to the rising energy of darkness.
Roman Dmitry also.
I agreed that it was a risky plan.
but.
By giving up on the rebels, Roman Dmitry intended to inflict enough damage on Valhalla that it would not be able to rise for the time being.
“If you wish, I will tell you my purpose. What I want… … .”
disappeared in the dark.
In the guard captain’s field of vision, Roman Dmitry’s figure was nowhere to be seen, and only his voice penetrated his ears.
“It brings despair to you.”
Hwaak-
Deep darkness.
Marin was bathed in darkness.
From now on.
It was time to show off the ghost.
