The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 186
Chapter 179 For a definite ending (5)
Inside the screen.
Roman Dmitry appeared.
As soon as communications were established, Daniel Cairo explained the current situation.
“The aristocratic faction of Marquis Benedict joined hands with the Kronos Empire. The Western Front has already collapsed to the second line of deterrence, and if it continues at this rate, it is only a matter of time before the third line of deterrence is also collapsed. If you are, you know what that means. The moment the Kronos Empire invades Cairo’s territory, the civil war will add to Cairo’s chaos. How would you like to do this? It is also important to wipe out Benedict’s aristocratic faction, but we cannot leave the Kronos Empire army alone.”
West Cairo.
The people who live there are dangerous.
He did not know what the Kronos Empire would do while taking time to settle the civil war.
[If civil war is not settled at once, it will definitely leave a sequel. Marquis Benedict also knew that fact, so he brought in the Cronus Empire, and if he were to retreat now, he would follow his intention.] “
I don’t know that fact either. However, Marquis Benedict abandoned the kingdom of Cairo. He wouldn’t care what the kingdom was like, but I, the King of Cairo, couldn’t make the same choice. They will lead the war as long as possible by attracting Cronus. And as a day or two goes by. Terror from the west will engulf all of Cairo.”
It was a dilemma.
kings and nobles.
Their positions were different.
If the decision to abandon the people of the kingdom is made, then the royal family will inevitably lose its meaning.
“Marquis Benedict urged me to surrender. If I abandon the forces involved in this purge, I will keep my life and my throne. I declined the offer. It is not because of the greed to maintain a modest power, but because the sacrifice of the people cannot be avoided if Cairo becomes a vassal state of the empire. If so, I’ll ask. What is important now for the people? The lives of the people in the West also carry the same weight, so is it right to tell them to make sacrifices until the civil war is settled? Or would it be more important to end the civil war and defeat the Cronus Empire?”
The aristocrats have already been defeated once.
If you are satisfied with this and turn your troops around, you can defeat Cronus and secure the safety of the people.
of course.
Marquis Benedict will leave an afterword.
Even if not like before, it was clear that he would plan to sell out the country.
However, from the time he rejected the Marquis Benedict’s proposal, Daniel Cairo did not consider it important to correct the royal authority by resolving the civil war.
For the future of the kingdom, Dmitri did not abandon, but among the options between Dmitri and the people, he sided with the people.
That is.
It was Daniel Cairo.
Even if he was a scarecrow, he wanted to choose the path for the kingdom as much as possible from the limited options.
[I understand what you mean.]
Roman’s reaction was calm.
It is not accepted.
I only understood that Roman Dmitri was a man who had to see the end if he pulled out his sword.
[His Majesty the King. From the moment we decided to purge, we expected that the Kronos Empire might cross our borders. Whether it’s because of Count Gregory or Marquis Benedict. It doesn’t matter why. Kronos is making fun of us. It showed the audacity to launch an attack with only the troops on the Western Front, without the need to mobilize troops. What would happen if we left enemies who communicated with them inside? You may think that you are only taking one step back now, but in order to take that step forward later, countless people will need to sacrifice.]
If you were born in the age of peace and prosperity.
Daniel Cairo may have been a good king.
However, he still couldn’t face the cruelty of reality to get through the turbulent world.
[The 3rd line of deterrence on the Western Front differs from the previous two deterrence lines in that considerable forces are deployed. And it’s clear that Kronos didn’t mobilize full force for this attack. Trust the commanders of Cairo. If they buy enough time… … .]
A king who has not lost his romance.
Roman Dmitri wasn’t all that bad.
He hoped that even the king would think of the people because he was so tired of reality.
[Within three days, I will clean up all the aristocrats of Marquis Benedict and go to the Western Front to stop the Kronos Empire.]
Roman’s remarks.
Daniel Cairo was speechless.
Though he thought he couldn’t take both, Roman Dmitri was determined to do both.
sure
Roman Dmitry.
“… i get it. Within three days, be sure to punish the traitors.”
It was the best the Cairo royal family could choose.

The last outburst of the aristocrats.
the expected sea.
If driven to the edge of a cliff, Marquis Benedict’s options for attracting the Cronus Empire were calculated.
‘Last week. We slowly drove the aristocrats into a corner. If he stopped breathing halfway through, the civil war would inevitably be prolonged. As he cut off the enemy’s limbs one by one, he made a plate for the enemies to fight to the end.’
The first day of the siege.
Roman Dmitry immediately launched an attack.
Contrary to the momentum that seemed to advance the troops at any moment, he took a sufficient rest and chose a long-range attack.
Why?
To minimize damage?
no.
Roman Dmitry moved his troops at night.
Benedict blocked the escape route as much as possible and waited until the magic defense of the castle wall reached its limit.
for a definite conclusion. I took enough steam.
A perfect encirclement was formed on the main wall to prevent even a single ant from escaping the moment the enemy’s castle wall lost its function.
one week.
It was an investment for a perfect purge.
The D-Day Roman Dmitri thought was the present day, when the enemy still thought it was worth holding on to.
tomorrow.
As scheduled, a massive attack on Benedict Castle will begin.
But that evening.
An unexpected person found Roman Dmitry.
“Commander. Please put me in the vanguard.”
booming voice.
He was Count Fabius.
* * *
Betray the nobles.
Count Fabius joined the kingdom army.
However, he thought that he could not sit idly by the fact that he was not called for an important meeting.
‘According to what I have learned, Roman Dmitri is a person with certain rewards and punishments. It means that if I make a great contribution as his person, I’m not a person who will never turn away from it.’
for a week
Roman Dmitry finally warned of a major attack.
After hearing about this, Count Fabius saw an opportunity and went to Roman Dmitri.
And then.
said in a booming voice.
“Commander. Please put me in the vanguard.”
vanguard.
This is a dangerous role.
Knowing that his life was in danger, Count Fabius looked up at Roman Dmitri with unwavering eyes.
It is a relationship that started as a traitor relationship.
In order to make progress at once in a relationship that was lagging behind others, it was necessary to show blind loyalty, even acting as an arrowhead.
“I was a member of the aristocratic faction. However, I thought that their intentions were unreasonable, so I refused the call-up order of the noble faction, and thus made the choice to follow Roman Dmitri. Give me a chance to prove your loyalty. Even if I die, I will shine the name of Roman Dmitri in the vanguard.”
It was a desperate voice.
Moment.
food.
Roman smiled.
He was a fun guy.
He clings to and fro like a bat, but to Roman he didn’t look too bad.
‘The monster who occupied one of the four heavenly kings was this kind of person.’
monster.
He was a peculiar old man.
If the Gwangma represented the excessive loyalty of following Baek Jung-hyeok and the desire for the blood horse to become stronger, the Goema changed its owner three times until the process of Baek Jung-hyuk ascending to the top.
If he was an ordinary person, he should have been decapitated, but he survived until the end and remained with Baek Joong-hyeok, the last winner.
Baek Joong-hyeok hoped for a mutually beneficial relationship.
When the monster abandoned its third master and came to visit him, he gladly accepted the renegade’s oath of allegiance.
“You don’t have to fake a smile in front of me. Prove your worth with your abilities. I will not care what you think, as long as you prove useful as a person of mine.”
betrayal.
It is an option that is available to anyone.
Baek Joong-hyeok believed in his ability.
He didn’t expect blind loyalty from those who followed him, but with his overwhelming ability, he controlled people so that they would not betray him.
It was the same with the monster.
If he betrayed his ability, he would pay the price, but unlike the others, he did not think he would betray unconditionally.
As a result.
The monster occupied one of the four heavenly kings.
He led the battlefield without Baek Joong-hyeok and led numerous victories, and the people of the political party trembled at his name.
And until the day Baek Joong-hyuk dies.
The monster did not betray.
We had a conversation once, and he said that he would never allow the calculation of betraying the Heavenly Demon in his head.
‘Count Fabius.’
A traitor to the nobility.
Others took notice and boldly came to the situation where they would have saved themselves and bowed their heads.
He was right.
Just as he had accepted Viscount Conrad, Roman Dmitry did not judge the past by absolute standards.
“It is dangerous. Can you still do it?”
“You can! I will devote my life to this Fabius!”
The expression brightened.
Count Fabius hit his head.
Heirs of a noble family and high-ranking nobles.
The difference in status was clear, but there was not the slightest hint of shame on his face.
“i get it. At the forefront of this war, you will be Fabius.”
Fabius.
He grabbed onto the string of opportunity.
* * *
The day was bright.
The aristocrats were no different from any other day.
The fact that they had the Kronos Empire on their backs made them look more elated than the day before.
It was then.
Bubbly.
A figure walked towards the wall.
A man wearing a tight robe.
The soldiers on the wall showed a questionable look at the development that was different from the previous one.
widely.
I stopped walking.
The man looked up at the castle wall.
‘It’s my turn to repay the lord’s trust.’
He was Felix.
last week.
Felix never used magic.
He only commanded the wizards who gave power to the flare, but saved his own power as much as possible.
In the first place, the time when he would manifest his power was fixed.
When the wizards had sufficiently reduced the durability of the magic defenses in front of them, Felix took on the role of putting an end to this war when all preparations had been completed for a week.
Whiing.
The wind blew.
As Felix raised mana, flames rose around him.
“Summon salamander.”
Fire, fire, fire.
A fire broke out.
They wrapped around each other and turned into a monster in the shape of fire.
elemental magic.
It was Phoenix’s secret.
and.
“Burning.”
rejoicing.
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
opening of the circle.
Felix swallowed the salamander.
His entire body was blazing with flames, and even his hair was dyed bright red. Felix’s teacher always valued the ability to absorb fire.
If someone else uses burning, they cannot survive Salamander’s fire.
“What is this?”
“Look at that!”
There was an uproar on the wall.
They couldn’t comprehend the scene in front of them.
It wasn’t self-immolation, but I was fascinated by the sight of people burning with fire.
That moment.
“Fire Rain.”
Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrating
broke the boundaries of the circle.
Felix, who was only in the 5th circle, borrowed the power of Salamander and entered the realm of the 6th circle.
Hwareuk.
Roaring!
Fireworks fell from the sky.
At first, it was just a small spark, but then a dark cloud rose and sparks the size of a fist began pouring like crazy.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“evil!”
“Raise your shield!”
It was the beginning of a massacre.
The soldiers who watched in awe at the fireworks falling from the sky were engulfed in hot flames. In an instant, screams spread in all directions.
The soldiers hurriedly tried to hide, but the flames falling over a wide range prevented them from escaping.
However, the magic defenses formed on the walls did not block all of them.
When the flares started attacking at the same time, the magic defense also exceeded the acceptable power.
Puffup!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Flare and 6 circle magic.
It was a real disaster.
Phoenix.
People called it the best in terms of firepower.
However, because the ability to accept fire was such a limiting condition, they could not produce more than two wizards who always used burning.
So, Phoenix was rated the lowest among the 13 magic towers.
Felix, the new Mage Tower owner there, succeeded in manifesting Burning through the Divine Fire.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
It was hell.
with only one sorcerer.
by flares fired from five launchers.
The walls of Benedict’s Castle, called Cheolongseong, were engulfed in flames, and the soldiers, who had turned black, fell one by one.
one week.
Roman waited for the right time.
To fully demonstrate Felix’s firepower.
After mobilizing flares to reduce magic defense enough, I put an end to it today.
at last.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
“The wall has collapsed!”
The magic defense has lost its power.
He poured the mana stones, but reached the limit due to the accumulated damage and the 6th circle magic.
A hole was drilled.
From now on.
Benedict’s Walls were not impregnable.
As if to welcome the enemies, someone from the kingdom army jumped out vigorously from the hole that was wide open.
“Soldiers! Follow me!”
Raccoon of Kairos.
It was Count Fabius.
He did not just give orders from behind, but rode directly to the front.
“Stake your life and punish the heinous treason!”
“Waaaaaaa!”
His cry became the catalyst.
Soldiers rushing at the same time.
The battlefield is on fire.
It was a scene that happened on only one day out of the three days Roman had promised.
