The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 361
Chapter 361 Chicken Game (9)
The Marquis of Belfir is completely frozen.
The words Roman Dmitri had uttered completely occupied my mind.
“You will meet me.”
at last.
It became a reality.
Valhalla was stubborn not to back down until the end, and the result was now facing Roman Dmitri.
It felt like the accident had come to a complete standstill.
Like a herbivore in front of a predator, the Marquis of Belfir, who is said to be the most powerful man in Valhalla, couldn’t even breathe.
It was then.
The leadership, who had spat out hiccups criticizing the Emperor of Valhalla, hurriedly knelt toward Roman Dmitri.
“Ha, if you save me just once… .”
puck.
head blown off
Before he could even utter a word, a round object rolling on the floor caught people’s attention.
Fear spread.
I knew that I was going to die from the moment I was left in the conference room, but when I saw it with my own eyes, the leaders spurred their seats and fled in all directions.
But the Marquis Belfir did not move at all.
He instinctively knew that none of the beings who ran out first to live would not survive.
just as expected.
Flash.
“Cheak!”
Screams erupted from all sides.
The one who ran away first collapsed on the floor like a doll whose thread had been cut, and other beings screamed as their body parts were cut off one by one.
There were many aura swordsmen among the leaders of Valhalla.
They took it for granted that they would train themselves to match their reputation as a warrior country, but they did not dare to compete against Roman Dmitri with their skills.
one person.
two people.
Bodies piled up.
Roman Dmitri grabbed the hair of one of the leaders and cut his throat in front of the Marquis of Belfir.
squeak.
“Krurruk.”
I asked for blood bubbles.
Seeing him fall down clutching his neck, Marquis Belfir looked at Roman Dmitri trembling.
“I told you. If you show complacency like that, you will meet me.”
“… A freaking monster.”
squatted down
I faced the Marquis of Belfir right in front of me.
“It’s so much fun to have a person’s pride. Clearly defending the north is the right thing to do, but even knowing that apologizing for the events of the Valhalla Festival is the most peaceful way for Valhalla. You turned away from reality and held your head upright until the end. That must have been a way to protect Valhalla’s status. It must have been difficult for Valhalla, the two major mountain ranges of the continent, to bow its head against a weak country like Dmitri.”
snap.
I grabbed the lower tube.
The Marquis of Belfir, who struggled in amazement, couldn’t find the confidence that he could see through the magic communicator.
“So that’s how it goes. If you compromised with reality even once. You wouldn’t be like this if you had come out of complacency and accepted the reality that Dmitri has risen to become a new superpower.”
nod nod.
“… Ugh ugh.”
swallowed a groan
The jawbone twisted from the grip that gripped the lower tube, and it seemed as if the lower tube would break at any moment.
Ominous thoughts occupied my mind. I felt that my lower body was soaking wet at the thought that I might die like this.
It was a humiliation.
It was disastrous.
However, to feel such human emotions, I was completely overwhelmed by the presence of Roman Dmitri.
however.
widely.
I let go of the lower tube.
The Marquis of Belfir hurriedly backed away without even having time to catch his breath at the moment when his lungs filled up deeply.
“Marquis Belfir. The wealth and honor you enjoyed is not that great. This is only the price of the achievements that you have achieved by attaching yourself to the Emperor of Valhalla, not fully achieved by your own abilities. look around you What were the words of those who cried out for loyalty to the imperial family? When you think about it, it’s a simple problem. When the 14th son of Valhalla ascended to the throne, you, like everyone else, were just a nobleman who didn’t expect it. That is why you are easily abandoned.”
Tosa Gufeng (兔死狗烹).
It wasn’t even a matter of expressing it in those words.
The Marquis of Belfir was of no importance to the Emperor of Valhalla, who was not even a hunting dog.
Also the Marquis of Belfire.
I knew.
Roman Dmitri moved his gaze out of the conference room as his pupils shook sharply at the devastating truth.
tat tat tat.
far away
I heard people running.
I turned my gaze to the dark cloud for a moment, but the report that the imperial palace was attacked was flocking to this place.
if time was delayed.
He was also dangerous himself.
There was no reason to take any more risks now that the power of the Emperor of Valhalla was confirmed to be stronger than it was revealed.
“The Marquis of Belfir.”
laughed
Looking down at the Marquis of Belfir, Roman Dmitri said.
“Emperor Valhalla abandoned you, but I intend to be merciful to you. It’s your last chance. If the day comes when you and I meet again for this reason, then I will make you regret being alive.”
at that point.
The Marquis of Belfir hurriedly raised his head.
Anticipating death, I closed my eyes tightly, but a different answer came back than I expected.
however.
No matter how much I looked around, I couldn’t find Roman Dmitri anymore.
* * *
After 30 minutes.
Roman Dmitry rejoined the main unit.
After escaping Marin’s pursuit party, he moved to a small teleportation magic circle prepared in advance outside Marin.
Wizard using teleport.
Knox said with a pale complexion.
“… From now on, operations like this will be stopped unconditionally. Without magic devices like warp gates, it takes a lot of strength to move just one or two people. Even though I just used the mana stone like that, I almost failed to teleport because I didn’t have enough power. Lord. The lord is no longer the heir to the baronial family. Since he is the one who will become the king of a nation, you need to take care of yourself.”
this operation.
It would have been impossible if the teleport had not been prepared locally.
Even though he prepared like that, he managed to manage the complicated magic system of teleport due to the development of upper tier warfare, and at the end of twists and turns, he completed the teleport to and from Marin without any problems.
In fact, there were several difficulties during the operation.
Since it was such a difficult magic, people actively used warp gates.
suddenly.
Knox asked curiously.
“But was it necessary to do this? It was impossible to assassinate the Emperor of Valhalla from the start.”
Valhalla.
Empires were empires for a reason.
Even the nonsensical existence of Roman Dmitri failed to assassinate Valhalla, and Valhalla did not suffer much damage from this operation.
About the soldiers who died while dealing with Roman Dmitri and the leaders of Valhalla.
In fact, considering that Valhalla moves according to the emperor’s will, the deaths of the leaders had no special meaning.
said Roman Dmitry.
“The purpose of this operation was not the life of the Emperor of Valhalla from the beginning.”
“… What do you mean by that?”
Knox didn’t know the strategy properly.
Roman Dmitri moved his gaze in the direction where Marin was with questioning eyes.
“Anxiety that even the Valhalla Empire is not safe, and distrust towards the Valhalla Emperor. If Valhalla maintains its existing power system through this rebellion, they will no longer be the same as before.”
* * *
Valhalla Imperial Palace.
The situation there was settled.
People busily moved to remove the body and searched the surroundings with lights on in their eyes.
Roman Dmitry had already evaded the soldiers and fled out of the castle.
Still, thinking that there might still be an unknown danger, he mobilized all the troops the Valhalla imperial family possessed and searched the surroundings.
meeting room.
The survivors, including the Marquis of Belfir, gathered there.
The eyes of the Marquis of Belfire trembled when he checked the surroundings where there were still bloodstains.
‘… Damn it.’
he lived
but.
It wasn’t even alive.
Meanwhile, he lived for Valhalla.
Even if the Emperor of Valhalla was a madman called a tyrant, he believed that it was right for him to be loyal to him.
It was natural. Because Valhalla’s power was absolute.
As long as he was parasitized by the Emperor of Valhalla, he firmly believed that his power would be eternal and strong until the moment he died.
But not now.
The imperial palace was attacked.
Most of the people did not even dare to face the Emperor, let alone hostile to the Emperor of Valhalla, but Roman Dmitri went in and out of the imperial palace as if it were his own room and slaughtered people.
It was as he said.
After responding complacently, he made it a reality that he would meet, and he seemed to be playing with himself.
Whereby.
The absolute truth has collapsed.
The belief that the Emperor of Valhalla would be absolute was torn to pieces by a monster named Roman Dmitri.
first.
It was the effect of anxiety.
If Valhalla could not guarantee the safety of the Marquis of Belfir, he had no choice but to think of something else.
‘The reason why Roman Dmitri kept me alive must have such an intention. It must be the intention to separate the Emperor of Valhalla and me with distrust. the problem is… Like he said, is it worth trusting the Emperor of Valhalla? The Emperor of Valhalla is no longer absolute, and for the sake of him who cruelly abandoned us in a situation of crisis, we can no longer have the same mind as before. And above all.’
“How have you lived?”
Emperor of Valhalla.
he asked coldly.
Far from asking his regards to the fact that he was alive, he did not take the very existence of the survivors very well.
distrust.
Distrust has arisen in each other.
The fact that Roman Dmitri killed all the other leaders, but left the nobles, including the Marquis of Belfyre, as if the heart of the Marquis of Belfir was not the same as before, irritated the Emperor of Valhalla.
said the Marquis of Belfir.
“… Lucky for you. It seems that he prioritized taking refuge in a situation where the imperial troops were approaching.”
“If that is true. I was really lucky.”
if.
If the Emperor of Valhalla sincerely disapproved of the Marquis of Belfir.
I would have killed him just because it bothered me.
but.
It didn’t.
To the Emperor of Valhalla, the Marquis of Belfir was not worth it.
There was no reason to waste manpower right now to deal with a single young ant that could be killed at any time.
The Marquis of Belfir was a well-behaved pet dog.
If it dies, it dies; if it barks, it barks. With so many situations to be sorted out in the future, if even the Marquis of Belfir were killed, the Emperor of Valhalla would have no choice but to be a nuisance.
The Valhalla Emperor said.
“Roman Dmitri dared to attack the capital of Valhalla and sought my life. Like he said, he will try to inflict as much damage to Valhalla as possible without backing down. Regroup your troops. We will leave only the minimum force to capture Hernard, and the rest will focus on dealing with Roman Dmitri.”
he.
I finally broke my pride.
If it was enough to attack the capital of Valhalla, there was no guarantee what Roman Dmitri would do in the future.
A fierce game of chicken.
Its winner was Roman Dmitry.
“… I will obey your order.”
“I will follow your orders.”
The Marquis of Belfir and the leaders lowered their heads.
Their expressions, which were out of the emperor’s gaze, were not as obedient as before.
* * *
That time Hernard.
The end was in sight.
The influx of imperial troops showed no signs of diminishing, and the walls no longer played their role.
finished.
Sanchez looked at the Duke of Vieto as he cut down the advancing enemy.
“sorry. I raised an army because of me… … I’m really sorry.”
this rebellion.
It was led by the Duke of Vieto, but if you look at the starting point, it started when Sanchez persuaded the Duke of Vieto.
Sanchez felt despair and regret at the same time.
If the Duke of Vieto had continued to live in seclusion, he would not have died of treason in his later years.
Kwadeuk.
Pabababak.
The halberd swept away the enemy.
Duke Vieto let out a rough breath with a face drenched in blood.
“Kill at least one more guy while talking nonsense. The war is not over yet.”
1 hour ahead?
2 hours?
Even if it’s long, I won’t last 3 hours.
Now, warriors like the Duke of Vieto are showing themselves beyond their limits, but if they start to fall one by one, then they will collapse rapidly.
The Duke of Vieto and Sanchez knew that.
That’s why I tried to kill at least one more person when I had enough energy before it completely collapsed.
It was then.
suddenly from afar
A strange noise was heard. It was the sound
of a
horn
.
Those who knew the system of Valhalla knew the meaning of the sound.
“What is this?”
“Retreat retreat orders!”
It was clear.
The horn ordered a retreat.
At first, the emperor’s army, unable to grasp the situation, seemed to be confused, but as the soldiers under the wall were slipping away like the ebb tide, they realized that the real retreat order had been given.
It was an embarrassing situation.
After arranging the soldiers on the wall, Duke Vieto looked at the emperor’s troops retreating and showed a stunned expression.
“… what the hell is this?”
no matter how you think
His common sense could not comprehend the situation in front of him.
