The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 107

Chapter 107 On the edge of the cliff (1)

Roman Dmitri.

It’s a name I’ve heard so hard that it sat on my ears.

Count Fabius greeted Roman one step ahead of the other nobles.

“welcome. I have heard of Roman Dmitri’s reputation. It is a sincere honor to meet the hero of Cairo who defeated the kingdom of Hector.”

I smiled lightly.

The other two aristocrats, who had been deprived of their players, spoke urgently at the intense reaction that seemed like they would hug Roman.

“You are much taller than rumors.”

“That’s right. A handsome man appeared and for a moment I thought I was mistaken.”

The atmosphere was cordial.

From a distance, it might look like a pretty fun spot, but the three nobles didn’t back down a bit to keep up with each other.

It was clear what purpose they had for each other.

Wouldn’t it be clear that the nobles of the central government, who divided Cairo, came down to the southern front, where there is no practical benefit?

said the master they serve.

“Whatever happens to the southern front is fine. First of all, the first thing to do is to win Roman Dmitri’s favor. Even if he loses the war with Hector Kingdom, the responsibility will go to the royal family, but if Roman Dmitri is taken away by other noble factions, the balance of power may collapse. Even against the 5-star swordsman Butler, he was not pushed back. Do whatever you can to get him.”

The special order has been lost.

Count Fabius glanced at Roman’s face.

It wasn’t a word of mouth.

I didn’t know that Roman Dmitri, who is showing great strides, would have such a young appearance.

‘Roman Dmitri’s age is now only in his mid-twenties. In addition, he is the eldest son of the Dmitry family, which boasts considerable power in the northeast region. It bothers me that he is from a commoner family, but Roman Dmitri is not lacking as a person to enter the central government. And if I attract talent like this, Marquis Benedict will use me more important in the future.’

this time too.

It was Count Fabius who struck the ball.

“Please sit here.”

“thank you.”

“You may not know, but I am the person serving Marquis Benedict. I heard from Marquis Benedict that he had a connection with Roman Dmitri, so he directly connected you to the Southern Training Center. At that time, I did not anticipate signs of war, so I was considerate.

“no. I don’t know if it was unintentional.”

“Haha, is that so?”

even though it doesn’t matter

Count Fabius replied with a bright smile.

“Still, Marquis Benedict seems to be very uncomfortable. Please set aside some time later. In case Roman Dmitri is in danger, I have a special gift for you. It’s a star that will shine Cairo, so shouldn’t you get hurt in a place like this?”

this meeting.

I lost my subject.

We have to discuss overthrowing Hector’s kingdom, but Count Fabius didn’t seem interested in that.

It was the same with other nobles.

They also added their words to the appearance of revealing their greed openly.

“I hope that Count Gregory will contact you once. I am sure it will be a very useful contact for Roman Dmitry.”

“The Earl of Denver sent the family soldiers. They will follow Roman Dmitri’s orders and are ready to give their lives for Roman Dmitri’s sake. Please put them to good use. It’s not asking for anything in return, but a small courtesy from the Countess of Denver for Roman Dmitri.”

He did not hide his purpose.

Taking out the cards they had prepared, everyone tried to win Roman’s favor.

however.

Contrary to the expectation that he would show a happy reaction, Roman’s expression gradually hardened as time went on.

“What are you doing right now?”

they.

I still haven’t quite figured out who Roman is.

* * *

In the meantime.

Roman never hid his moves.

They showed their presence, and everyone showed greed and rushed at the sharp awl protruding from their pockets.

four powers.

four appeasements.

it was appropriate

It was intended to earn time to grow by using the attention of the powerful, but people have to cover the time and place.

Roman said.

“I am not naive enough not to know why you have come to see me. Marquis Benedict, Count Gregory, Earl of Denver. Everyone came to me asking for my allegiance, and I put it off because I couldn’t make a decision. Loyalty once promises a lifetime. So I have no choice but to be careful. Favors are really appreciated, but this is not it. The enemies who attacked Cairo Kingdom are right in front of you. I don’t think it’s right to discuss my future in a place like now when I plant a flag on our territory and hold my head up proudly.”

I didn’t speak round and round.

on purpose.

He showed an uncomfortable feeling.

Roman knew that his remarks would rather ignite the opponent’s desire.

‘It brought the competition to the surface and revealed that I was troubled. The fact that I’m a loyal person who doesn’t choose hastily will rather make the opponent anxious. It is always necessary to keep an appropriate distance from the four forces. so you can’t give up on me to want to occupy me somehow. And if you tell me clearly when to make a decision, they will have no choice but to wait no matter what I say.’

grabbed the plate.

bewildered nobles.

It made a definite impact on them.

“Experienced this war, I knew that I was a frog in the well. That’s why after defeating the kingdom of Hector. I plan to challenge the rankings to become the number one sword in Cairo. Please wait until then. I will prove myself and give my sword to one person.”

The best sword in Cairo.

It was a charming card.

Even just hearing that word, the nobles showed their eyes burning with desire.

I didn’t speak hastily.

Roman told them not to talk about him now, so they thought about how to report this to their master.

“so.”

Charleuk.

unfolded the map.

I turned my attention and looked straight into the faces of the nobles.

“Why don’t you focus on the situation right in front of you right now?”

* * *

Things have been sorted out.

Fierce competition was put off for a while.

At Roman’s suggestion, they conceived a way to attack Hector’s kingdom in earnest.

“As Roman Dmitri warned, we must occupy the rear positions within three days. So why complicate things? regular method. Destroy the wall with flares and hang the ladder on the wall to see the battle from the front. The army of Hector Kingdom was about 10,000. Since we brought 20,000 troops, we have a good chance even if we fight head-on.”

It was Count Fabius.

As the simplest strategy, there were obvious problems.

said Baron Brahim.

“I won’t deny that pushing by headcount is the surest solution. But if you do, the damage to your allies won’t be trivial. The kingdom of Hector must have made preparations for flares, and Mercury is a fight where a small number of people can face many enemies. If by any chance the siege fails. At that time, let alone finish it within three days, you have to fight a battle that cannot be promised an end.”

“I think the same. We need a strategy that will definitely put an end to it, not such a simple method.”

Opinions were divided.

There was no clear solution.

at last.

It is a battle to take over the castle.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t come up with a way to break down the solid wall and defeat ten thousand enemies without taking damage.

It was a fight in which damage was inevitable.

Still, I hoped to find an ingenious solution by making use of the meaning of the strategy meeting, but as the meeting progressed, opinions gradually slanted towards the strategy I had mentioned at the beginning.

Count Fabius asked.

“What do you think, Roman Dmitri?”

Moment.

Everyone looked expectant.

A great general who defeated ten thousand with two hundred.

For some reason, they thought that Roman Dmitri might tell them a different solution.

“My thoughts are no different from yours. The rear camp was initially fortified as the last bastion of the southern front, and from the moment it was taken away, a long-term battle was unavoidable. After 3 days like that. Enemies will create various variables through warp gates.”

“… Are you saying there is no way?”

It was a look of disappointment.

As the expectations for Roman were so high, the expectations were not met by just giving an ordinary answer.

like I told them.

There is no situational solution.

but.

“It is not that there is no way. Now I’m going to talk about two ways to quickly end the war. The important point in this strategy is the ‘person’, not the situation. I’m not sure the strategy will work, but I think it’s worth trying if all-out war is unavoidable.”

Roman’s explanation that started like that.

At first, the nobles, who showed suspicious expressions, soon became completely absorbed in Roman’s explanation.

* * *

Deng-Deng-Deng-

It was the sound of war.

At the report that the Cairo Kingdom had moved its troops, Hector Kingdom’s soldiers climbed up the walls in perfect order.

“Hold your seat!”

“Enemies are coming!”

far away

The flag of Cairo was visible.

The sight of the enemies rushing in like waves chilled the heart, but the soldiers of Hector Kingdom did not show signs of fear.

They have a duty to get food and return to their families.

The weight of it suppressed fear, and there was also a belief that in a siege war, the one who defended had an advantage.

chuckle.

Arranged on top of the ramparts.

The archers fed their bows to their arrows and were ready to attack the Cairo kingdom at any time.

“atmosphere.”

Edwin Hector.

he raised his hand

Enemies hadn’t entered range yet.

He waited for the perfect timing with a calm face, since firing arrows from a distance was meaningless.

It was then.

A strange situation unfolded before my eyes.

The Cairo Kingdom’s soldiers split on both sides.

There, a magic weapon like a flare did not appear, but a person stepped forward.

‘… What is this?’

At first, the situation was not understood.

Could it be a messenger?

The moment I thought that the kingdom of Cairo might be trying to convey a message, I saw the man’s face.

‘Roman Dmitry!’

Moment.

His expression hardened.

Roman Dmitri left a huge impression on Edwin Hector.

A being who slaughtered seven hundred soldiers all night and sought his own life to the end despite himself and Butler’s pincer attack.

The senses reacted sensitively.

I don’t know what the opponent intended, but the moment they came within range, they were ready to attack.

one step.

one step.

Roman’s face brightened.

While preparing to attack while raising mana, Roman shouted with a mana-loaded voice.

“I am Roman Dmitry of the Kingdom of Cairo! I, Roman Dmitri, as a warrior representing the Kingdom of Cairo, challenge the Butler of the Kingdom of Hector to a duel!”

tall.

Everyone hardened.

I mean.

It was enough to shock the kingdom of Hector.
