The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 264

Chapter 257 International Conference (5)

Silence lingered.

With Count Fabius stepping back, Edwin Hector asked in a voice that had yet to accept the reality.

“… What do you think of King Redford? Do you really think that Dmitri can wage war against the Kronos Empire on their own?”

It was a meaningless question.

Edwin Hector and King Redford.

I knew it was out of the ordinary.

No matter what moves Roman Dmitri has shown so far, it means nothing if the opponent is Kronos.

said King Redford.

“I am a little confused. He knows in his head how crazy this is, but Redford has already made up his mind. Roman Dmitri is the benefactor of Redford Kingdom. Whatever choice he makes, Redford will share his destiny with Dmitri.”

got up from the seat

Complex thoughts were postponed.

“While Redford was going through a turbulent time, I thought a lot about the future ahead. The world is changing. In the near future, every kingdom on the continent will face a moment of choice. Will you stick to the Empire to prolong your life or fight against them? Even if the choice to follow Dmitri is the road to destruction, Redford cannot tolerate losing its meaning as a nation. So, Hector too, decide Hector’s future. From now on, when Dmitri declares war, our words will never be taken back.”

Those were heartfelt words.

King Redford moved first, and Edwin Hector, left alone, fell into silence.

‘What would be the right choice for Hector.’

Dmitry.

It is Hector’s ally.

That fact remains unchanged, but Roman Dmitri’s methods were too bold and could have led to ruin.

If it had been a chance to win even a little bit with his common sense, he wouldn’t have worried so much.

Even Edwin Hector, whom people call a genius, was a judgment in an area that could not be predicted, so even though he made up his mind to follow Roman Dmitri, he had no choice but to fall into trouble.

Hector is driven to a precipice.

Knowing that one choice would lead directly to his downfall due to continued famine and war, Edwin Hector thought of many possibilities for this situation for a long time.

‘King Redford is right. In the future, Hector cannot be Cronus’ dog.’

The cause of the famine is Kronos.

Since Hector couldn’t live with them under the same sky, it was clear that Roman Dmitri was his only hope.

then.

What should Hector do?

As Roman Dmitry said, would it be right to take a step back and observe the situation?

‘This time, we need to figure out Roman Dmitri’s intentions. Why didn’t he attend the international conference? It’s a simple matter. It was because there was a judgment that the Kingdom Alliance would not agree to the purpose of taking revenge on the Cronus Empire. Then there is only one reason why Dmitri wants to send us back to the international conference in the current situation where he intends to avenge himself.’

thought expanded.

Rather than passively accepting the situation, he pondered over the best choice in the given situation.

‘It must be the intention to bring out the sincerity of the kingdom union through a clear example that Dmitri alone can deal with Kronos. A situation that everyone thought was impossible. Therefore, if Dmitri produces meaningful results even once, it is certain that it will cause a big stir unlike before.’

My mind became clear.

even if this isn’t the right answer.

There was certainty that it was a choice for Dmitri.

Maybe.

It felt like I had to attend the international conference again.

* * *

It was ironic.

The international conference that ended in catastrophe was conducted by the same people.

said King Odelia.

“What do you mean now? Dmitri’s declaration of war has nothing to do with the two kingdoms. So, is Dmitri going to wage war against the Kronos Empire on their own?”

eyes widened

Even when I checked the declaration of war, I thought it was a gearco, but Edwin Hector said otherwise.

“We also do not know the details. While I was waiting for a meeting with Dmitri after the last international conference, I heard that war had been declared with the Kronos Empire. That is why I attended this international conference. Haven’t the kings heard anything about this?”

I hid my intentions.

He showed a clear attitude that he had nothing to do with this incident, as if he did not know Roman Dmitri’s intentions.

The king’s expression became serious.

In particular, King Odelia was shocked because she did not know that this would happen.

“Even if Dmitri is mad, he is still mad. To declare war on the Kronos Empire on his own when the power of the kingdom union was not enough. everyone. From now on, we must be alert. The Kronos Empire will never forgive anyone who points a sword at them. Since Dmitri was derived from Cairo, this incident will surely destroy the two countries. The problem is that the downfall of Cairo and Dmitri directly affects our kingdom unity.”

kingdom union.

They were created to oppose the Kronos Empire.

Cairo and Dmitri weren’t included in the first place, but that didn’t mean their existence was meaningless.

“The moment Cronus ate the land in the northeast. While securing a bridgehead for conquest of the continent, they can now focus their efforts on uniting kingdoms without worrying about their surroundings. In the past, if you had to be careful of the coalition attack of ‘Cairo Hector’ in the war against the kingdom coalition, it means that you don’t have to do that from now on. Hector will be unable to do anything because he is facing the border with Cronus Valhalla, and the Kingdom Alliance will not be able to avoid the attack of the Empire. So let’s boldly dump Dmitri. If there is even a slight loss of power here, then it really is the end.”

It was the best decision.

King Odelia said a way for everyone, but King Redford responded adamantly.

“I will refuse. As mentioned in the previous meeting, Redford’s kingdom will be with Dmitri. We, who are not members of the Kingdom Alliance, have no obligation to accept King Odelia’s proposal.”

“Now is not the time for such tight talk!”

“It doesn’t matter what you say. Redford will prepare for war and await Dmitri’s call.”

compromise was not allowed.

King Redford laid the plate and Edwin Hector lit it.

“The same goes for Hector. If the flames of war intensify. At that time, I intend to go out for Dmitri.”

“this!”

King Odelia burst into anger.

Other kings added their comments, but King Redford and Edwin Hector did not agree.

this meeting.

It was a place of misery.

I thought they accepted the international conference because they wanted change, but the representatives of the two kingdoms only confirmed that they had not expected Dmitri’s declaration of war, and no compromise was accepted.

Then it was a really big problem.

With only Dmitri’s strength, he would never become an opponent of Chronos, so he had to prepare for the situation after their fall.

Jump up.

“Let’s end the meeting with this! From now on, let’s find a way to live on our own!”

The departure of King Odelia.

2nd International Conference.

Again, the heads of state failed to produce positive results.

* * *

It was catastrophic.

Unable to find a way to live, King Odelia trembled with anxiety.

“This is the end of everything. The moment Cairo and Dmitri fall, it will only be a matter of time before the flames of war spread to the kingdom union.”

I was annoyed.

What on earth would Redford and Hector believe in following Dmitri?

No matter how much I tried to take the situation well, I couldn’t understand their judgment of throwing themselves to the limbs.

From now on.

I was at a crossroads of choice.

In an irreversible situation, bystanders were not an option.

‘If even the kingdom of Redford is destroyed by this war. In any case, the power of the Kingdom Alliance alone could not contain the threat of the Cronus Empire in the future. In the end, it’s a situation where you have to make a choice. Either help the Principality of Dmitri and prevent them from perishing, or find a way for Odelia to live by sticking to powerful forces like Kronos and Valhalla. I can’t expect that the current peace will be maintained any longer.’

“Damn it.”

I was angry.

Roman Dmitry.

Beyond stupid, he was a guy who didn’t know the subject.

Although he admits that he was gifted with great talent as a swordsman enough to defeat Barbossa, it was a hasty decision to declare war against Cronus to take revenge.

The people of the Kingdom Alliance, including himself, did not like the atrocities of the empire.

However, the history of the continent is the experience of the past.

Didn’t it show the clear result of having to deal with the miserable reality in exchange for standing upright once?

It’s not that I don’t.

It was impossible.

International conferences in countries other than the Empire were the legacy of our ancestors who struggled to survive.

“… I’m sorry, but Odelia can’t end like this. Even if you are servile, surviving is the priority.”

I closed my eyes tightly.

Although disgusting and shabby, this was the reality.

as a king.

There was an obligation to look after the safety of the country.

As soon as King Odelia returned to the royal family, he contacted her somewhere.

[What did you contact me about?]

Beyond the screen.

At Baron Charlton’s words, King Odelia said with a face that lost his hesitation.

“… As of the present time, the kingdom union is over. So please tell me how Odelia’s kingdom will survive.”

that time.

Betrayal was not unique to Odelia.

Umberto’s kingdom.

Two of the three kingdoms united, excluding the Franks, succumbed to reality at the end of their agony.

A few days after that.

At Rascal, famous as an outpost to the east of Kronos, the guards looked at the dark sky and chattered.

“I bet one gold that Dmitri doesn’t last a month.”

“one month? Aren’t you overestimating Dmitri? It’s called war. How could Dmitri, who was only a snot, last a month? I get 1 gold a fortnight. I assure you, the moment we properly engage in an all-out war at the border, Dmitri will lose his will and raise a white flag.”

“But you still have Roman Dmitri.”

“Okay, that’s it. No matter how strong you are, how long can you stand alone?”

Dmitry’s declaration of war.

It was absurd.

Living as a citizen of the Kronos Empire, he never expected to experience a situation where he would declare war against the Empire first.

Is that why?

People talked about it when they met.

Rather than worrying about the Kronos Empire’s defeat, there were heated debates about how long Dmitri and the like would hold out against the Empire.

Not a single one of them expected more than a month.

The difference between an empire and a kingdom is at the level of heaven and earth, so this did not require complicated calculations.

last few days.

Troops arrived in Rascal one after another.

In the next week, Dmitri will regret the words they uttered at the overwhelming power of the Empire.

It was then.

As the soldier was about to say something, a violent hand hit his head.

fast.

The head was broken.

It happened in an instant.

The soldiers who stood guard collapsed to the ground without uttering a single word.

and things like that.

It happened not only here, but throughout Rascal’s border area.

“We have secured the target points.”

It was Chris.

At his report, Roman Dmitri emerged from the darkness and said:

“It will take about 6 hours for the main force of the Kronos Empire to arrive here at Rascal. Our goal is one. Kill as many enemies as possible until then.”

Kronos.

no one on the continent.

Dmitri’s first attack was unimaginable.

Roman Dmitri did the same thing that Dmitri did.

“Start a fire now.”

“yes.”

A night when everyone is asleep.

Dmitry fired the flares of war.
