Chapter 347 A Country That Lost Romance (5)
Hernard.
The place was engulfed in flames.
The attack, which began early in the morning, finally collapsed the solid walls.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
“The wall has collapsed!”
“Attack!”
It was a crucible of confusion.
Hernard’s soldiers hurriedly blocked the road, but at the vanguard of the rebels was an unstoppable monster.
“Get out of the way!”
puck.
Kwajik.
The head of the first soldier encountered was shattered at once.
The man with a fluttering white beard, revealing copper-colored skin, swept a halberd larger than himself to block it, sweeping away the enemies.
Opponents caught in the halberd did not cover the fragile body and hard armor.
Even if the aura was not erupted violently, most things were torn apart terribly.
“Don’t stop!”
“Kill the Duke of Vieto!”
man’s identity.
It was the Duke of Vieto.
At the age of 70, the traces of the years were visible on his face, but the vigorous momentum was not different from his heyday.
An entity not listed in the Valhalla rankings.
He was classified as off-topic as he officially announced his retirement, but as a 5-star swordsman, he was such a great warrior that he was once ranked in the top 10.
behind him.
The rebels rushed in.
Hernard’s soldiers were formidable, but they were not strong enough to deal with 200,000 rebels.
“Follow me!”
The Duke of Vieto took the lead.
Strong players like him and Valderas, ranked 10th in Valhalla, opened the way without hesitation.
a few days ago.
they made a decision
“The Emperor of Valhalla’s army is gathering in Hernard. It’s still only part of it, but if more troops gather, then the chances of capturing Hernard are slim. Now is your chance. Now that Roman Dmitri’s whereabouts have not been decided, the Valhalla royal family will still think that the rebels alone cannot attack. So, if you make a bold decision, you can capture Hernard.”
It was a well-founded judgment.
Having heard the future plans through Roman Dmitri, the Duke of Vieto mobilized his forces in advance and launched a surprise attack.
Still, he did not fully trust Roman Dmitri.
But I knew I had to gamble if there was even the slightest chance of plotting a rebellion.
Enemies rushed in.
Duke Vieto rushed wildly and swept away the enemies exploding his aura.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
“Cheak!”
“Aaaagh!”
Screams erupted from all sides.
Dozens of soldiers were slaughtered at once.
this place.
Hernard had no top rankers.
Although the Emperor’s soldiers were assembled and equipped with an assortment suitable for Mercury, Valhalla’s leaders, including the Marquis of Belfir, did not expect Duke Vieto to attack so recklessly.
It was a rather complex matter to be called a complacent judgement.
Due to the overwhelming difference in power, the rebels thought that they would not go to war, but to make political maneuvers using public sentiment.
For that reason, the light fell on the instep.
Hernard’s forces were not weak, but they could not stop the rebels who risked their lives.
at last.
The castle gate has been completely breached.
A massacre took place and Duke Vieto, who was fighting at the forefront, discovered Hernard’s commander.
Then.
Kwajik.
smashed the head
Duke Vieto shouted in a beastly voice as the blood was scattered in all directions.
“You killed the enemy commander! As a Valhalla, I will spare the lives of those who surrender!”
A fierce siege war.
It was the moment that put an end to the battle.
* * *
Hernard.
It is also a world where ordinary people live.
People flocked.
Not frightened by the fall of the castle, they flocked to the streets to catch sight of the rebels.
to such a situation.
The Duke of Vieto stepped out like a triumphant general and raised his voice toward the people.
“People of Valhalla, listen up! Valhalla has been a country of warriors for generations. We were proud of Valhalla’s tradition of solving problems with strength in a fair and fair way and competing purely for strength. But what about Valhalla now?”
Just as the Marquis of Belfir expected.
Public sentiment was important.
Now that the battle had been won, he had to capture the hearts of those who watched the rebels move.
“The traitors who cried out for progress have destroyed the legitimacy of Valhalla. In collusion with Kronos, they were blinded by filthy power. An example of this is what happened at the festival in Valhalla. Roman Dmitri announced his intention to attend the glorious event, but how did Valhalla treat him? Didn’t respect me at all. wished he died The stage of the festival was not considered sacred and was used as an execution platform to dispose of Roman Dmitri.”
“Dirty traitors!”
“That was unfair!”
A few raised their voices.
I haven’t been able to transmit all of them yet, but people show intense desire in their eyes.
“Roman Dmitry has won. By winning victory as a true warrior, he proudly destroyed the intentions of the dirty traitors. Nevertheless, the Valhalla royal family tried to kill Roman Dmitri by mobilizing the Kronos Empire. Since when did Valhalla become so corrupted? If he wanted to deal with Roman Dmitri, he had to defeat him by force on the stage in a fair and fair way, the way Valhalla did. That is the reality of Valhalla. So I took up arms. I, Vieto, have made a decision because I can no longer watch Valhalla fall.”
closely.
I gripped the halberd tightly.
He looked around at the people and shouted with all his might.
“Follow me. This Vieto will bring Valhalla back to glory!”
“Vieto! Vieto!”
“Vieto! Vieto!”
some people.
They raised their voices first.
The intense longing spread like an epidemic, and everyone on the streets started chanting the name of the Duke of Vieto.
This was the public sentiment.
In a situation where the emperor’s forces were pushed back by more than 10 times, the Duke of Vieto decided to rebel, believing in the fact that the people would support him.
A street filled with enthusiastic cheers.
The rebels were convinced.
It is said that the desire to restore Valhalla’s roots will return Valhalla to its original place.
* * *
Things have been sorted out.
The leader of the rebel army.
they gathered
Although he appeared confident in front of people, they knew that the situation was not very hopeful.
“What is the situation?”
“The Valhalla Imperial Family has declared a convocation order. Some were sent to the north and others formed a punitive force of about a million men. They have no intention of taking care of public sentiment. It seems that they intend to wipe out this place at once and suppress the rebellion.”
million.
Considering the vast land mass and the troops protecting the capital, most of what could be mobilized was sent.
It was devastating news for the rebels.
Faced with an army of a million in a situation where the uprising had not yet taken place, Hernard’s walls were no way to stop their attack.
It was then.
The Duke of Vieto asked Sanchez.
“Sanchez. Do you think Roman Dmitri’s plan will succeed?”
“Yes I am sure.”
Sanchez.
It was the core of the rebels.
As he led the plan, his remarks had a significant impact.
“As promised, Roman Dmitri declared the Valhalla Empire as an enemy. As proof, the Valhalla Imperial Family sent some troops to the northern front. It must be a decision in preparation for Roman Dmitri’s attack with his troops. And just a little while ago, thanks to the agitators, it was easy to secure public opinion.”
just now.
The Duke of Vieto gave a passionate speech.
on the spot.
There were people from Roman Dmitry.
Members of Hao Mun were spread out all over the continent, and they watched the situation and spat out words in support of the Duke of Vieto.
The Emperor of Valhalla is a symbol of fear.
No matter how good a cause the Duke of Vieto had, the people of Valhalla might not have raised their voices in fear.
Incited people.
It’s not about making a lie the truth.
People’s aspirations burned like mad just by fanning the flames that were burning in their hearts.
situation at that time.
I had no choice but to admit it.
At first, the Duke of Vieto was displeased with the intervention of the agitators, but through Sanchez’s advice, he accepted the fact that a strategic move was necessary.
The result was successful. I felt admiration all over again.
Roman Dmitri, a being living in a faraway country, couldn’t understand when he planted people in Valhalla.
What was certain was the goose-inducing detail.
The dispersal of forces to the north and the mobilization of agitators all came from the head of Roman Dmitry.
said the Duke of Vieto.
“So far, things are going as we expected. always keep in mind In the end, it is in our power to bring about rebellion. We must bleed, fight, and win in order to regain Valhalla’s tradition. Only then is the fight meaningful. Only then can we stand proudly in front of people.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Rebellion.
I had a lot of thoughts until I made a decision.
But now that they have gathered as rebels, they are ready to give their lives for Valhalla.
“Start preparing to greet the enemies here in Hernard.”
“I take orders.”
once started.
I will observe the situation with Suseong (??).
In the meantime, if the other plans mentioned by Roman Dmitry are carried out, then the flames of rebellion will truly be rekindled.
* * *
Subjugation Army.
The head of the army to punish the rebels was Count Gomes.
He took over as commander and heard about Hernard’s situation from his subordinates.
“Just now. Hernard has been captured. The Duke of Vieto has occupied Hernard and seems to be using it as a base for a sit-in.”
“Hernard is already collapsing.”
He frowned.
movement of the rebels.
I was watching closely.
So, he gathered his troops in Hernard, but it was not enough to stop the rebels who rushed in violently, led by the Duke of Vieto.
It certainly deserved its reputation as a megalith.
The Duke of Vieto showed a heavy presence and did not move recklessly, but when he made a decision, he trampled everything on the block like a huge stone rolling downhill.
Such daring once rose to the position of power, and as the Emperor of Valhalla seized power, the Duke of Vieto took a step back.
He is a formidable person.
If not quelled early, the rebellion will prolong and erode the Valhalla Empire.
“I will do my best in a single attack. Summon all top rankers in Valhalla except Cesar. Valderas was the only person the enemy could present. If you mobilize overwhelming troops and top rankers, no matter what preparations Duke Vieto made, he would not be able to block the attack of the subjugation army.”
“All right.”
Cesar.
It is the No. 1 sword in Valhalla.
Since he was in charge of the defense of the capital, it was really unusual to summon everyone except him.
however.
Trouble arose in an unexpected place.
The subordinate, who came to Count Gomes again, uttered an absurd sound.
“Count Gomes! It’s a big deal! The top rankers have now been summoned to the deciding match!”
“… It’s a deciding match?!”
eyes widened
before the decision.
It was a word that shouldn’t and couldn’t come out now.
* * *
What is a decision match?
Ranked 10th.
It is a tradition unique to Valhalla that can be used by those called the top rankers, and if you use the authority of the final match, the opponent cannot refuse the challenge.
The reason Count Gomes was surprised was not simply the fact that the deciding match was going on.
In the case of this match, the problem was that it ended with the death of one side rather than the surrender of the other side.
why.
What kind of madman would declare a decisive match at this crucial time?
Count Gomes asked.
“Who the hell is that?! What kind of bastard would do such nonsense?”
There were no expected figures.
Currently, most of the top rankings in Valhalla are followers of the Emperor of Valhalla, and they had no reason to make such a decision that would surely be reprimanded.
Besides, aren’t they on the same side?
Raising the rankings by killing one or the other was meaningless unless there was a grudge against the opponent.
I felt dizzy.
To Count Gomes’s question, the subordinate showed hesitation several times before saying the name he had struggled with.
“Ares. Ares, who is ranked 3rd, declared a match against Alvarez, who is ranked 2nd.”
Ares.
Count Gomes’ expression hardened coldly at the name that popped out.
