The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 181

Chapter 174 Purge (5)

A few days ago.

The aristocratic faction’s decision to attack Roman Dmitri left Count Fabius alone in deep trouble.

“… Ugh.”

No matter how much I thought about it, the balance calculation didn’t match.

Roman Dmitry.

Cairo’s divinity was defeated in turn from 99th in the rankings, and finally a showdown with the immovable 1st place, Count Nicholas, was ahead.

Marquis Benedict said that if Roman Dmitri refused the aristocratic proposal, he should deal with it on the spot, but in fact, that was not a very realistic statement.

‘I experienced what Roman Dmitry was like on the southern front. Even if the aristocrats summoned an army-sized force, would they be able to subdue Roman Dmitri by force? Absolutely impossible. Marquis Benedict thinks that right after the open ranking match is an opportunity, but in fact, defeating Count Nicholas means that Roman Dmitri is much stronger than he was a year ago. The monster who defeated Butler and opened the gate must have reached a level that he can’t dare to touch.’

1 year ago.

Count Fabius was on the southern front.

When the other nobles were talking, he moved himself and experienced what was happening in the field.

Roman power.

It was truly electrifying.

It was great to walk alone and defeat Butler, but the sight of him opening the castle gate and slaughtering the enemy made me think that the devil had descended in this world.

Memories of that time remain strong.

Count Fabius actively insisted on recruiting Roman Dmitri, and his thoughts were not different even now.

Roman Dmitry.

subject to conciliation.

The possibility of antagonizing him was absolutely unthinkable.

‘The question is, do you surrender meekly when Roman Dmitri mentions rebellion? That guy is never one to kneel down meekly. People are sure that he can’t make the decision to draw the sword in Kairos, but if he was a guy with common sense, he would have chosen to flee the southern front as well.’

then.

From now on, it was a matter of choice.

the day of the showdown.

If you don’t send troops, there’s a chance you’ll be stamped out by the aristocrats.

If Roman Dmitri surrendered or was defeated, Count Fabius would have to face the consequences of his decision.

It’s not just about collapsing the tower of hard work.

Marquis Benedict is a man with a clear line, so he will try to completely wipe out the power of Count Fabius in Cairo.

I thought about it for a while.

what is right

It did not end in a one-off fight, but the possibility that it would later develop into a war between Dmitri and the noble faction was also considered.

at last.

‘Logic cannot determine which judgment is correct. What is certain is that while serving the Marquis Benedict, I expect some of the aristocratic power, while I cannot dare to guess the limits of Roman Dmitri. And on the southern front, I saw how terrible it was to face Roman Dmitry as an enemy on the battlefield. It’s Fabius, it’s Fabius. My family’s future depends on my decision.’

made a decision

Count Fabius did not send troops.

When the aristocrats all sent troops to the capital, he kept silent on the pretext of being sick.

Even on the day of the decisive battle, Count Fabius, who did not move at all, naturally sent a call from the same aristocrats.

[Count Fabius, do you really think you can survive making that choice?]

[There is not a single person in the world who will believe the excuse that you are sick. After the sun goes down today Marquis Benedict will talk about the death of a man named Count Fabius with a casual face while drinking a toast. It’s not too late. Send in your troops even now.]

[You fool. Normally, you behave well, but at such an important time, you make a stupid decision!]

I was worried.

I covered my ears.

I closed my eyes tightly.

That’s when Roman Dmitry and the nobles collided.

Count Fabius entrusted his fate to heaven in a comfortable mansion.

* * *

Marquis Benedict.

He immediately contacted Count Fabius.

I couldn’t leave the existence that causes a riot within the aristocracy as it is.

pod.

communication has been established.

At the face of Count Fabius that appeared on the screen, Marquis Benedict vomited his anger.

“Fabius. you are really crazy What’s wrong with disobeying the nobles’ orders and not sending troops to Cairos? Are you going to refuse the summons? Look me straight in the face and say Is that really your choice, Fabius?”

His voice trembled with anger.

Raccoon of Kairos.

Even knowing how clever he was, I liked how quick-witted he was, so I kept him by his side.

however.

that he betrayed

The fact that it was a raccoon’s judgment, not an ordinary aristocrat, really offended Marquis Benedict.

That a quick-witted person turned away from himself. Doesn’t that mean the aristocracy’s defeat?

said Count Fabius.

[Marquis Benedict. Let’s be honest with each other about what happened. Didn’t he get slaughtered by Roman Dmitri in the battle at Kairos? That is the basis of my judgment. Roman Dmitri eliminated all the powerful nobles during the open ranking match, and knowing that Marquis Benedict would make such a judgment, he drew his sword without hesitation. How the hell are you supposed to fight a monster like that?]

“How dare you, this bastard!”

[Ah fuck. Still can’t figure out the situation?]

Count Fabius was serious.

Just like Viscount Conrad did.

When he turned around, he clearly showed his attitude.

[I bet my all on Roman Dmitri. So, don’t look at me as a bastard who still followed any of your orders. I mean a person you should have an eye If you didn’t send troops to Kairos and didn’t respond to the summons, you should just accept the fact that I betrayed you, right? But to see what kind of nasty situation he even contacted me directly, it’s a damn thing.]

“… that choice. Are you sure you won’t regret it?”

[Regret is a piece of shit. If my choice is wrong, what else would I do than die?]

“Fabius. You are a traitor to the nobility. No matter what choice you make, do you think Roman Dmitri will use you as an important traitor? Traitors are traitors everywhere. If you had been faithful to the end, if you had helped the aristocratic faction win. I certainly would have used you heavily.”

[no. Even if I had been faithful to the end, you guys would have abandoned me without hesitation if they were no longer needed. But it wasn’t Roman Dmitri. Just looking at how he accepted Viscount Conrad, he had the tolerance to accept someone like me depending on the situation. And haven’t you heard rumors about Roman Dmitri? how much he cares about his people. Even though I will start out as a traitor, I will do anything to please him from now on.]

Events in the meantime.

Count Fabius knew that the beginning was important.

It’s hard to survive against Roman Dmitri if you’ve shown obvious hostility and put it into practice.

But if you haven’t crossed the line yet. It was not impossible to be his person like Viscount Conrad.

so.

No troops were sent.

He did not respond to the summons and ignored the Marquis Benedict.

finally.

Count Fabius said with a smirk.

[Marquis Benedict. The war starts now I guess I’m not quite sure how things are going yet, but I’m probably not the only one who refuses to comply with the summons. Even then, try to contact me hostilely like this. It will only be a matter of time before the aristocrats fall.]

At those words.

Marquis Benedict’s eyes widened.

What the hell does this mean?

Took.

Communication was lost.

And it didn’t take long for Marquis Benedict to confirm Fabius’ words.

* * *

Order to summon the nobility faction.

Count Fabius was the only exception, but most of them expressed their intention to comply with the convocation order.

however.

Suddenly, an unexpected variable occurred.

[I, Marquis Valentino, declare that I will support the Dmitri family.]

Valentino.

Neutral forces moved.

As the tycoon of Cairo supported Dmitri, the surrounding families were unable to move their troops.

Recently, Valentino spent a fortune sweeping Cairo’s mercenaries.

At that time, he made an excuse that he needed manpower in the process of running a merchant company targeting the continent, but he never thought that it would lead directly to an alliance with the Dmitri family.

and.

Count Fabius also exerted his strength.

He thought that even betrayal should be done at its best.

Rather than simply relying on a new power with a change of heart, he ran hard so that Roman Dmitri could positively accept his existence.

Thanks to this, the families that had a relationship with Count Fabius changed their minds.

Decided to betray the aristocrats and follow Dmitry.

only a few days

In an instant, the situation turned around.

Shortly after cutting off contact with Fabius, Marquis Benedict received a barrage of calls.

[…] … I’m really sorry. We can’t send a lot of troops because we don’t know when the Marquis of Valentino will attack the territory. Still, I want you to know that this is our best.]

[Marquis Benedict. How should I go about doing this? If you move hastily, there is a possibility that the estate will be robbed. No matter how important the war against the King’s faction is, it can’t put all family members in danger.] [

Sorry, but I decided to share my opinion with Count Fabius.]

I felt dizzy.

before you even try to do anything.

Marquis Benedict had no choice but to watch as the power of the aristocrats diminished.

* * *

Royal Palace Conference Room.

It was the last meeting before departure.

Roman Dmitry took the lead and spoke.

“a few days ago. Count Fabius, a noble faction, has announced his intention to follow us. Several families, including him, decided to change their minds, and the Marquis Valentino supported us, making it impossible for the noble faction to do their best in this war. Now is your chance to wipe out the treason island once and for all.”

set of circumstances.

The people of the royal faction were amazed.

Count Fabius and Marquis Valentino.

It wasn’t their ability.

They looked in awe at the fact that the plate was made only by Roman Dmitri.

‘If only the Kings had not accepted Roman Dmitri’s proposal. He might have succeeded in the plot with only Dmitri’s power. At that time, the flag of Cairo must have been broken by Dmitri.’

I got goosebumps.

Dmitry’s potential was amazing.

Daniel Cairo asked in a situation that drove the aristocrats into a corner at once.

“Do you mean to confront the aristocrats head-on?”

“you’re right. To be precise, it is likely to be a siege war. If the aristocrats normally responded to the call, they would have marched straight to the capital, but due to a series of circumstances, they will choose Mercury to reorganize their forces. We have no reason to give them any slack. We must march our troops and wipe out the rebels. We must suppress them with overwhelming force so that we do not repeat the same mistake in the future when the system of power is torn apart.”

everyone.

I swallowed dry saliva.

It was finally an all-out war.

At the moment of decisive battle, people waited for the order of Daniel Cairo, who made the decision.

‘The force leading this war is Dmitry, not the royal faction.’

Daniel Cairo.

He saw the essence.

If this war was won, there was a high probability that people would call Dmitri the Kingmaker instead of acknowledging the potential of the royal faction.

As much as that, Roman Dmitry made the board from beginning to end.

Instead of arranging the forces that divided Cairo in the meantime, Dmitri might form a force so large that it could swallow the Cairo royal family at once.

but.

However, I had no intention of rejecting them.

‘Dmitri made a decision for Cairo. Even if Dmitri grows beyond his control, we must acknowledge and accept their existence. It would have been impossible without Dmitri’s help in the first place. At least coexistence with Dmitri, who treats me as a king, is for Cairo rather than the heinous rebels who sell out the king. Cairo’s game has changed. In order for the Cairo royal family to not lose the meaning of existence in the future, it is necessary to actively step forward in a situation where sacrifices have to be made. Lest Roman Dmitri feel unfair. We will do our best to help Dmitri.’

made a decision

Daniel Cairo looked around and said in a dignified voice.

“War is now inevitable. The royal forces will do their best to assist Roman Dmitri, and remember that his orders are my will. Roman Dmitri. I will entrust you with full control of this war.”

focused gaze.

Roman Dmitry fulfilled the example of a military subject.

“I will follow your orders.”

The fuse of war has been lit.

From now on.

It was time to slaughter all the traitors.
