Chapter 366 End of Civil War (5)
A few days ago.
Reports of the success of the rebellion were quite surprising.
Even if you look only at the objective history, the Marquis of Belfir’s rebellion should fail to be normal, but I heard that it was a great victory enough to leave a considerable amount of power behind.
It was a question. Was it a strategy that could be successful just by bribing the guards and taking medicine from the imperial soldiers in advance?
Roman Dmitri, who experienced the Emperor of Valhalla himself, was able to affirm the answer to that question.
‘impossible.’
It’s not just a feeling.
information obtained so far.
Based on accurate data, the Marquis of Belfir’s rebellion should have ended at eating away the power of the imperial family.
however.
How could the rebellion succeed?
Roman Dmitry thought of three hypotheses about this absurd situation.
at first.
‘If the power of the Valhalla imperial family was weaker than expected, the Marquis Belfir’s surprise attack might have worked.’
really if
This result could have been possible if the madness of the Valhalla Emperor was actually a bluff to hide weakness, and what Roman Dmitri experienced was the Valhalla Emperor’s power.
Of course, the reliability is very low.
On the day he ascended to the throne, the Emperor of Valhalla showed overwhelming power.
Everyone who experienced that day was terrified, and that created the background for the politics of terror.
The power of the Emperor of Valhalla is real.
Even when Roman Dmitri experienced it himself, it was a reaction that could not come from a person with a shallow bottom.
If so, weight was given to the second hypothesis.
‘If he was abandoned by something that gave him strength, he could understand the situation in which the Emperor of Valhalla was defeated.’
It was the most plausible hypothesis.
It could also explain why the emperor of Valhalla, who was building an overwhelming force while adding credibility to the mysterious force, collapsed in vain.
The question is why did the mysterious forces that gave them strength abandon the Emperor of Valhalla?
According to what Marquis Belfir said was the truth of Valhalla, the power of the Emperor of Valhalla originated from the previous emperor.
By designating his 14th son as his successor, he boosted his power and made him rise to the position of emperor through the radical process of rebellion.
The reason for the choice is unknown.
sure thing.
There was no reason for the inherited forces to abandon the Emperor of Valhalla now.
Considering the future of Valhalla, installing a successor like this didn’t make sense from the beginning, but it was playing its role enough to be a choice to ruin Valhalla.
None of the hypotheses fit.
I changed my mind.
As people once said, maybe Kronos was behind the Emperor of Valhalla.
‘That also makes no sense.’
If Kronos sponsored the Emperor of Valhalla.
If it were a puppet that moved according to Alexander’s intentions.
There’s no reason to throw it away any more.
No matter how advantageous the rebels were, it was in the Kronos Empire’s interest to somehow keep the Valhalla emperor alive and make them obey their control.
And if this is true, it couldn’t explain why the Kronos Empire didn’t get involved in the war.
If they saved the Emperor of Valhalla, it would be beneficial to the Cronus Empire for a long time.
last third.
It was a possibility of a trap.
He could fake death and plan something, but in fact, it was a really meaningless act.
The power of the Emperor of Valhalla comes from overwhelming power, but the choice to destroy the forces based on the reign of terror did not benefit him.
And the Marquis of Belfir went through a definite verification process.
It was an important issue for him too, so he proved to everyone that he was the Emperor of Valhalla.
at last.
There is no perfect answer.
from start to finish.
From the moment the 14th son ascended the throne to the moment he met death, everything was stained with questions.
“Things are going funny.”
laughed
A very emergency situation.
If the Marquis of Belfir succeeded in rebellion, then they had roughly drawn a rough sketch of how to respond.
I didn’t know that the result would actually come true.
Roman Dmitri admits that he didn’t expect this time, but he had no intention of being swept away by change on the battlefield where variables were rampant.
Things change in variables.
It was something I had experienced countless times in my previous life.
called the soldiers.
Then.
“Connect magic communication to Duke Vieto.”
A new strategy suited to the situation was put into action.
* * *
Back to the present.
A familiar sight was replayed.
On the scaffold where the Emperor of Valhalla had hanged himself a few days before, the Marquis of Belfir was now awaiting execution.
his face went pale.
He shouted in a desperate voice at the situation where people were flocking.
“Duke Bi Vieto! I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding, but this isn’t it. It’s also treason. I killed the heinous tyrant, Emperor Valhalla, with my own hands. This is what the Duke of Vieto also wanted, but why do you call me a treason for fulfilling everyone’s wishes! Please release this for now.”
The rope squeezed his neck.
Belfir’s soldiers were also around, but they couldn’t bear to pull out their swords to save the Marquis of Belfir.
Roman Dmitry.
he was holding out
Because there was a person who destroyed the capital of Valhalla with his own power, the soldiers and guards only looked at each other and could not bear to step forward.
It was an unavoidable situation.
In a situation where the Duke of Vieto put forward the justification of treason, there was no justification to help if he could not explain it.
enough people gathered
The Duke of Vieto raised his voice towards the people, ignoring the Marquis of Belfire.
“From now on, I will tell you the crimes of the Marquis Belfir. At a time when Valhalla suffered from the Emperor’s tyranny, the Marquis of Belfir was a pawn who followed the Emperor of Valhalla. Like the Emperor of Valhalla, he has destroyed many parts of Valhalla. The Marquis of Belfir was the one who ignored the noble confrontation of the warriors and led the assassination of Roman Dmitri when he was invited to the Valhalla festival.”
“That can be explained! As someone who takes orders… … .”
“Shut your mouth.”
snap.
“Turn it off!”
The soldier covered his mouth from behind.
The Marquis of Belfire widened her eyes and tried to somehow express her regret, but the Duke of Vieto didn’t care.
“Now I will tell you the contents of the magic communication that Marquis Belfir sent to Roman Dmitri.”
Beep.
[I will tell you my thoughts directly. I am Roman Dmitri… … I would like to share that intention and talk about the future. Of course, I know very well that I don’t like it. But I’m sure that talking with me will definitely benefit Dmitri.]
It was the contents of the communication.
As the conversation progressed, people’s expressions became more stern.
Leading a rebellion was good.
If he had been a member of the rebels from the beginning, we would have applauded him for risking his life.
“The Marquis of Belfir immediately contacted Roman Dmitri and suggested that he join the rebellion. As you might expect, I colluded with Roman Dmitri to plan this rebellion. One could criticize the fact that outside forces were involved in Valhalla’s affairs, but Roman Dmitri, who had proven his worth as a warrior at the Valhalla festival, felt entitled to intervene in Valhalla’s affairs. He risked his life for us. He expressed his willingness to help with the purpose of Valhalla going on the right path. But what about the Marquis of Belfir? He betrayed the Emperor of Valhalla for his own comfort, blaming and criticizing the rebels and Roman Dmitri until the end. Until now, Valhalla had fallen into ruin due to minions like Belfir, but he killed the emperor he served and took care of his own interests, not the future of Valhalla.”
A band of blood was erected around the neck.
Valhalla.
He respected the pride of warriors.
More than Roman Dmitri, who harmed Valhalla’s soldiers, he hated the Marquis of Belfir, who roamed around like a bat.
His expression changed.
Everyone was outraged.
The Marquis of Belfir was no different from the Emperor of Valhalla.
Everyone responded sympathetically to the fact that he was also a figure representing the dark history of Valhalla.
Kwadeuk.
“Cheer.”
I asked the hand that covered my mouth.
As soon as his mouth became comfortable, the Marquis of Belfir shouted.
“Hey, this dog! You and I have raised the same rebellion, so why are you the only one dressed up as a righteous apostle! I am the hero who killed the Emperor of Valhalla. Although I succeeded in rebellion, I cannot accept this situation that makes me a traitor. Follow me! Follow me and punish the Duke of Vieto!”
his words.
It was just a meaningless outburst.
no one agreed
It was then.
The moment the desperate Marquis of Belfir met Roman Dmitri’s gaze, he heard a familiar voice in his ears.
[The Marquis of Belfir. You will die here today, denied all your achievements in life. And the blood relatives of the rebels will be brutally killed. That is the gift I promised to give you the day we meet again.]
Roman Dmitri laughed.
I got goosebumps.
I opened my eyes.
The moment the Marquis of Belfir was about to shout something, he felt the soles of his feet sink.
Tung.
“Kuk kuk kuk!”
Execution took place.
The rope squeezed his neck.
The Marquis of Belfir wanted to speak one last time, but was unable to utter the words due to the tightness in his throat.
I stumbled on my feet.
His red-hot face showed his obsession with life.
but.
It was just a futile fuss.
at last.
“… gurgling.”
The Marquis of Belfir, who was once the most powerful person in Valhalla, also met the same fate as the Emperor of Valhalla.
* * *
Things have been sorted out.
a separate seat.
Duke Vieto looked at Roman Dmitri and said.
“Valhalla has been greatly favored. The rebellion would not have been successful had it not been for the help of Roman Dmitri.”
It was sincere.
Only 200,000 troops.
Knowing that the number was insufficient to destroy the Emperor of Valhalla, the people who followed Duke Vieto risked their lives to do this.
However, the result miraculously ended with the victory of the rebels.
I couldn’t help but admit the series of circumstances that incited the people of Valhalla, recalled the imperial troops, and threatened even the Marquis of Belfir to attack the Valhalla Emperor.
It was perfect.
Even if Duke Vieto was the emperor of Valhalla, he would not have the confidence to stop Roman Dmitri.
said Roman Dmitry.
“We just kept our promises to each other. The Duke of Vieto also fulfilled his promise, so thank you is enough.”
Deal with the Duke of Vieto.
There were two conditions.
if the rebellion succeeds.
It was to publicly apologize for the friendly relationship with Valhalla and what happened at the Valhalla festival in the future.
If the former is a promise that will be kept gradually in the future, the Duke of Vieto showed respect for Roman Dmitri beyond an open apology.
Thanks to this, the way people view Roman Dmitri has changed.
He was sincerely ashamed of Valhalla’s actions and expressed his gratitude towards Roman Dmitri.
Gear nose.
Roman Dmitry achieved everything he hoped for.
In addition, by dealing with the Marquis of Belfir, all remaining bad ties in Valhalla were completely removed.
It was a satisfactory achievement.
Originally, he would have left as it was, but Roman Dmitri changed his mind.
“I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Just speak. If it is possible in my authority, I will do anything for my benefactor.”
It wasn’t empty talk.
The Duke of Vieto looked sincere as if he would give away his wealth.
however.
“I want to enter the grave of the South.”
The moment he heard the contents of the request, a crack appeared in Duke Vieto’s expression.

moment.
I’m speechless.
Southern Tomb.
It was a sensitive place.
It is located in the southern jungle, which can be said to be the source of the Valhalla Empire, and all of the emperors of Valhalla were buried in southern tombs.
The meaning of going in there was clear.
It was to confirm the records of the former era buried with the bodies of the emperors of Valhalla.
The Duke of Vieto showed signs of trouble.
“… I’d love to hear from you, but entering the southern tomb is another matter. That’s not to say Roman Dmitry isn’t qualified. It is common for outsiders not to be allowed to enter, but since proving his qualifications as a warrior at the festival in Valhalla, Roman Dmitri-nim has gone beyond the status of a simple outsider.”
that too.
I knew Roman Dmitry’s intentions.
It might have been to check the records related to the Valhalla emperor, but this wasn’t a matter of allowing himself.
“To enter the Tomb of the South, you must pass the ‘trial’. The warriors of Valhalla and the minorities of the southern jungles. You’ll have to openly accept a challenge against them, and you’ll have to survive a week in one-on-one battles to step into the tombs of the south. Of course, there is no doubt about Dmitry Roman’s strength. However, the ethnic minorities of the southern jungles are far from common sense. And the Dark Elves will not allow you to enter the tomb either.”
Minorities in the South.
Dark Elf.
They were the ones I had only heard about.
Roman Dmitry laughed.
“That is my job. If you make a plate, I will not hold you responsible for the situation after that.”
“… Great.”
swallowed a groan
this day.
Roman Dmitri produced the best results, but felt the need to dig out the secrets related to the Emperor of Valhalla.
The Marquis of Belfir said that there was clearly an official document naming the 14th prince as the successor.
I don’t know how he identified the document, but there was a high probability that the tomb contained related material.
I thought about it for a while.
The Duke of Vieto pondered over and over again with a frown on his forehead, and then spoke with a determined expression.
“Okay. I will declare the warrior’s test to the people tomorrow.”
next day.
Warrior’s test.
All of Valhalla was shocked at the news of the ritual being discussed only in legends.
