handed over the paperwork.
As he read the contents that appealed to him densely, Knight Commander Jonathan showed a reaction that was quite embarrassing.
“So, does that mean that a swordsman of this level applied as an ordinary soldier, not as a knight?”
“yes. I took into account the fact that the level of recruitment of enlisted soldiers was higher than expected in the past, but I did not expect that such people would flock to the announcement of recruiting ‘private soldiers’. As you know, no matter how much you get, it’s far less than belonging to a noble family, isn’t it?”
The person at the reception desk raised his voice.
It made sense.
Even though Dmitri paid a higher wage than other families, this recruitment was carried out for the purpose of accepting enlisted soldiers.
However, looking at the contents of the document, people who had nothing to do with the purpose were listed.
[Fabir]
-I am 39 years old this year. He was a member of the ‘Knights’ in the prestigious Umberto family and can now manifest a 3-star aura. I have been entrusted with many missions supported by etiquette and skill, such as escorting nobles, and the fact that I was appointed deputy commander right before I quit the knights is an example of my commanding ability. As for the war I experienced… … And so on, and recently, when the Dmitri family declared war on the Kronos Empire, they expressed their intention to voluntarily participate in the war.
It was one of the men I was talking to at the inn.
Fabir explained in detail his strengths and career in order to pass the document screening of who he was.
It was practically a free pass. There was no reason for a person of this size to refuse unless he was crazy about applying as a ‘private soldier’.
the problem is.
[Vice-captain of a large-scale mercenary group]
[Express mercenary]
[Knight]
[Aura swordsman]
In addition to Fabir.
There were various specs.
It was a moment when I felt a sense of alienation.
Even when Knight Commander Jonathan swore allegiance to Dmitri, Dmitri’s reputation was not so good that his colleagues asked why he was going to Dmitri.
But now the situation has completely reversed.
Just looking at the specs of those who expressed their intention to participate in documents proved their changed status, and above all, there was a constant stream of solicitation calls from old colleagues recently.
“My son has awakened his aura this time… Could you put me in the Order of Dmitry?”
“Jonathan. how have you been doing? No, just to say hi. Yes, it was really hard training with you in the past… … That’s why I’m saying, is there any place for me to join the Order of Dmitry?”
“I will tell you directly. Take me with you, thinking of old times.”
their contact.
At first, the people who asked how they were doing ended the conversation by asking Dmitry to accept them.
It wasn’t that the specifications of the people who contacted me like that were lacking.
It was clear that the reason they hanged Dmitri like this, called the Aura Swordsman in their own way, was due to a reasonable reward and a recent rumor.
‘In the war against Cronus, Chris and Kevin defeated stronger Aura swordsmen. At that time, as rumors spread that Dmitri was using a special skill, the interest of the aura swordsmen towards Dmitri exploded. Rumor has it that he may have skills beyond that of Alexander. For those who apply for Dmitri, the money they get is not important.’
I got it.
A technique taught by Roman Dmitry.
As someone who had inherited it, Dmitri’s swordsmanship deserved this much attention.
He continued to hand over the paperwork.
I checked the basics, but at the moment, Knight Commander Jonathan showed a surprised reaction.
“… Why is this person here?”
no papers.
[Fred] -The
only career from
the knight commander of the Memphis family of the Cronus Empire .
The one who surprised the commander of the Knights Jonathan was the Loeb, who had received people’s attention in Adelian.
* * *
It was a crazy day.
The Marquis of Memphis, who had been dealing with the flood of affairs since the end of the war, distorted his expression at the news about Dmitri.
“Stupid guys. Just because you won once, it’s like you’re all tied to Dmitri.”
recent.
Recruiting privates for the Dmitry family was a hot potato.
It wasn’t just creating a sensation within Dmitry, but the situation where people from each country expressed their intention to take the exam caused a stir.
As for the nobles, the fire fell on their feet to protect their family’s swordsmen.
Normally, people who were desperate to give even 1 silver less voluntarily tried to capture the hearts of the swordsmen by saying that they would give 1 more gold.
It was absurd.
It was something that would never have happened in the Memphis family.
“How can people be so stupid? Odelia’s disappearance was not because of the Cronus Empire’s remorse, but because Odelia tried to parasitize on a useless subject. Those who have the ability and can do things for the empire will always remain victors, as the history of the continent proves.”
The point of view was different.
People said that they could no longer trust Cronus because of Odelia’s disappearance, but Odelia, who had only brought the ‘pattern’ of kingdom union in the first place, thought it was right to be abandoned like that.
If Odelia sought the consent of Umberto Frank Redford and talked about cooperation as a huge power, the Cronus Empire would have used their existence and talked about the future.
however.
What did you do with just Odelia?
Surrounded by a coalition of kingdoms, they only resulted in dispersal of power, and the Cronus Empire decided that it would be more efficient to occupy their territory and use it as a bridgehead to conquer the continent.
As a result, it returned to failure, but the words of those who criticized the choice did not make much sense.
at last.
Kronos will conquer the continent.
The Marquis of Memphis believed in the long history of the empire.
‘His Majesty has warned us about a year’s time. After that, the continental conquest will begin again. For now, he has chosen to step back on complex issues, but from the time Kronos reveals his power, no matter what power Dmitri has, he will not be able to turn the situation around.’
abyss.
Demons lived there.
The war with Dmitry had only revealed a part of it.
It was then.
smart.
“May I come in?”
“come in.”
He was a knight of the Memphis family.
He cautiously opened the door and showed a strangely uncomfortable face.
“It’s nothing else, Knight Commander Fred hasn’t been to work for a week.”
“That faithful Fred? what will happen Send someone to find out what’s going on with Fred.”
“That’s true… Big. I don’t know how to say this. I already sent someone to Knight Commander Fred’s house a few days ago. But nobody was there. I didn’t report right then because I thought there might be personal business, but today I confirmed that Knight Commander Fred used the warp gate with his family.”
tall.
“what?”
The action stopped.
The expression of the Marquis of Memphis slowly hardened and looked at the knight’s face.
said the article.
“And the final destination of the warp gate was ‘Cortas’.”
Cortas.
Land occupied by Roman Dmitry.
Or a place with a warp gate that allows you to move directly to the East.
The Marquis of Memphis, who did not understand the meaning at first, soon showed an expression stained with astonishment.
“Are you trying to say that Fred, the leader of the Memphis family, has fled to Dmitri?!”
that’s really
It was an unacceptable content for the Marquis of Memphis.

A set of circumstances.
Reported to Emperor Cronus.
The disappearance of Odelia and the death of Baron Charlton created a bigger rift than expected.
“… This is the current situation. At this rate, we cannot prevent the outflow of the empire’s talent.”
said the Marquis of Memphis indignantly.
Fred’s betrayal.
I wanted to tear it apart right away.
He made fun of people who lost their family knights for being stupid, but he never imagined that his own knight commander would choose to run away at night.
The Marquis of Memphis has had a really crazy day lately.
I didn’t know that this would happen while I was having such a confusing time that I couldn’t even meet Knight Commander Fred.
Emperor Kronos said.
“It is interesting.”
laughed
Alexander’s consciousness.
He was currently possessed and responded that he was genuinely interested in the tremendous upheaval caused by Roman Dmitri.
set of circumstances.
It didn’t happen because he simply annihilated Odelia and killed Baron Charlton.
only one defeat.
As the Kronos Empire faced its first defeat in history, people came to realize that the Kronos Empire was not invincible either.
Then there was no reason to blindly follow the Cronus Empire.
The reason why he cried out for loyalty even though he knew that he might be abandoned by the Cronus Empire at any time was not because his loyalty to the Empire was so great, but because he had no other option.
Dmitry is.
given a workaround.
He proved that he could win against Kronos.
“Give orders to the Royal Knights. From now on, those who engage in treasonous acts, regardless of status, must annihilate the perpetrators and their families. Even though they were born in the Kronos Empire, they are stupid guys who risk their lives to follow Dmitri. Such beings only disrupted Cronus’ discipline. They are not necessary for the future of Kronos.”
“I will follow your orders.”
The Marquis of Memphis stepped down.
at your own command.
A bloody wind will blow in Kronos.
As always, the most powerful means of controlling Cronus was fear.
‘Roman Dmitry. He tells his soldiers about Dmitri’s special skills.’
Interest turned.
Alexander is the creator of Aura.
Although he gave up on the way and changed his path as a wizard, there was a curiosity about how great martial arts Roman Dmitri could use.
The power you create will never be lacking.
As a pioneer, he wanted to compare how different the power he had discovered and the true martial arts were.
maybe it
It might have been an inferiority complex.
I wanted to prove that the power I created on my own after leaving my relationship with Dmitri was a great achievement.
so that.
He sent pieces of himself like Emperor Cronus.
if they pass
You will be able to experience martial arts directly through possession.

Recruitment of Dmitry’s enlisted men.
The number of applicants reached 100,000.
Considering that they were all old enough to wield a sword and fight, this was a staggering feat.
Even inside Dmitry, there was an admiring reaction.
I knew that Roman Dmitri’s status was great, but I didn’t think that he would produce enough results to attract 100,000 people in one announcement.
the problem is.
There were too many people to test.
In a situation where tens of thousands of people remained even after the primary screening, Lucas and other Haomen people clung to each other and conducted a simple qualification test and identity investigation.
If there is any error in the information you have entered, you will be disqualified.
And, using previous methods such as the courage test, they checked whether they were qualified to accept Dmitri’s test through various methods.
This alone took a considerable amount of time.
Success was not determined by force alone.
Those with a weak will fell out of excellence, and after a 15-day test, the list for the 3rd test was confirmed.
on the day of the test.
5,000 participants who survived the previous test flocked to it.
Roman Dmitry announced his intention to select only 500 of them and give the rest a chance to enlist in Dmitry’s army, even if they are not enlisted.
Maybe that’s why everyone was wary.
Even before, the atmosphere of competition was weak, but from now on, everyone next to me was a competitor.
It was then.
“It’s Chris.”
“Dmitri’s Flash!”
A group of people appeared while receiving people’s attention.
At the head of them was a familiar figure, but Chris cut his way through the crowd and stood in front of everyone.
Chris said.
“From now on, I will explain the third test method. The test method is simple. Behind me are your seniors. They are beings who, like you, have passed the test, swore allegiance to their lord, and have made great achievements for Dmitri. You guys will choose one of the seniors behind me from the order in which your name is called and proceed with the sparring.”
Dalian.
People’s eyes changed sharply.
The people who lined up behind Chris were either unknown or unknown, such as Kevin.
“Victory is not a condition for passing the 3rd test. Those who win will definitely move on to the final test, but even if they lose, if they show a meaningful image, that person will pass.”
challengers.
Most of them weren’t nervous.
They believed that they could win enough against Dmitri’s privates because there were many beings who made a reputation in their own way. It was a funny situation. Chris smiled and reached for the sword hanging from his waist.
“And I can also point to Dalian opponents. No further explanation is needed. We will proceed with the third test from now on.”
Tension rose.
Finally.
“Forward Fabir, the first participant.”
The test has begun.
