prisoner of war (2)

a day ago.

When Carol was taken to the torture chamber and subjected to horrendous torture, a meeting was convened by the report of Captain Jonathan.

” This is a very difficult problem.”

It was Viscount Conrad.

prisoners of war.

As soon as I read the contents, I immediately realized how sensitive this was.

‘Dmitry is recovering stability after the war is over. If you attack the Kronos Empire while mentioning the existence of prisoners of war at this time, you may fall into more confusion than before. Besides, the existence of prisoners of war is only conjecture through brief communication. Substantial evidence does not exist. If you raise an issue on just this level of evidence, the Kronos Empire should just kill all the prisoners and destroy the evidence.’

Already had a pain in the butt.

When raised internationally.

Failure to prove the existence of the prisoners could put Dmitry at a disadvantage, even though it was Kronos’ obvious fault.

yet.

There are two major mountain ranges, Kronos and Valhalla, on the continent.

Dmitry’s hasty may give them a chance to unite, and unlike the last war, the situation under attack by the two empires was very difficult for Dmitry.

The problem is that the evidence is not optimistic.

When the truce was abolished, the confusion that ensued gave him a headache.

‘The number of prisoners is at most hundreds. Roman Dmitry may not want to reveal the truth.’

turned his head

Dmitry needs a villain.

If Roman Dmitry wanted a cause, Viscount Konrad was willing to take on the role of giving it to him.

Viscount Conrad raised his voice.

“This issue is not to be judged hastily. A brief communication hinted at the possibility of a prisoner of war. However, if they ask the Kronos Empire for the existence of prisoners in a situation where they do not have clear evidence, they will unconditionally destroy the evidence to prevent their faults from being revealed. Then the situation is irreversible. Dmitry, who raises his voice about the existence of nonexistent prisoners, will be ridiculed, and Kronos may mobilize Valhalla’s support to attack us.

Yes. This needs to be handled with care.”

The nobles who followed Conrad contributed their strength.

only hundreds.

Considering Dmitry as a whole, several hundred was not a very large number.

to save them

Couldn’t throw the whole thing into chaos.

Viscount Konrad knew he was selfish and really trash, but he couldn’t just be clean and just in the process of running the country.

He gladly accepted the villain.

If Roman Dmitry needed a cruel decision, he believed that what he said first would be of great help.

And.

On the battlefield, I confirmed the priorities that Roman Dmitry thought.

The act of killing all the prisoners of the Kronos Empire proved unacceptable for a situation in which the majority of prisoners were put in danger due to the existence of “prisoners” captured by the enemy.

It was no different now.

Due to the presence of prisoners whose existence was not certain, it was impossible to endanger Dmitry.

That was then.

tuk.

“Read.”

Roman Dmitry threw something.

It wasn’t the report brought by Captain Jonathan.

Viscount Konrad looked suspiciously at the stack of papers Roman Dmitry had thrown at him.

The more you read the content.

The corners of my eyes trembled.

The nobles who kept silence swallowed dry saliva in a series of situations.

yet.

Sigh.

put the documents down.

Viscount Konrad let out a deep breath and looked at Roman Dmitry with a surprised look.

“Are you sure you already knew the existence of the prisoners?”

* * *

The war is over.

Roman Dmitry gave Lucas several orders.

Among them, some were related to prisoners of war.

“I said that the Kronos Empire had released all the prisoners, but my actions may have maliciously concealed the existence of the prisoners. Lucas. Release the informants and see if Dmitry’s prisoners exist in the Kronos Empire. If prisoners of war exist, never approach them first, but get evidence to prove their existence.”

Two months ago.

Lucas has already moved.

It was not easy to determine the existence of the prisoners.

Knowing that the Kronos Empire was also a sensitive issue, the existence of prisoners was thoroughly hidden, and the prisoners working in the quarry were disguised as prisoners.

Moreover, it was not easy for the informants to move inside Kronos due to the war.

The Kronos Empire thoroughly investigated the identity of those who had any problems, and as a result, the information network within the Empire was greatly weakened.

so a few days ago.

Before Carol sent the magical communication, Lucas had already secured a list of prisoners and solid evidence.

The plate was laid.

Just as Roman Dmitry was getting ready, Carols made their presence known.

Roman Dmitry said.

“Viscount Conrad. I fully understand why you say that. On the battlefield, in front of everyone, I killed all the prisoners of the Kronos Empire and made my stand firm. At the time, I believed it was the right thing to do, and my values are still the same today. But things are different then and now.”

Captive.

It is like a lamp before the wind.

In order to save the beings who never know when to die, they have no choice but to sacrifice a lot.

“I will ask all of you. Why do you think I excluded the prisoner exchange and drove the enemies?”

” .”

Everyone shut their mouths.

The reason was obvious.

It may be a cliche, but the already captured ally was nothing more than a burden that prevented victory.

Roman Dmitry.

Although he did not take the sacrifice lightly enough to introduce the system of national merit, he was not a person who was swayed by recognition.

Everyone supported Roman Dmitry’s judgment.

In fact, didn’t Dmitry defeat the Kronos Empire?

Porora was just talking about vice, hoping that people wouldn’t fall into confusion.

if.

If you mention the existence of the prisoners and do not save them, then there may be a crack inside.

in a silent gaze.

Roman Dmitry looked at the leaders.

“During war, you cannot be swayed by the presence of prisoners of war. We were all ready to die with a single thought to win. However, self-sacrifice to save them is a foolish judgment that has lost its ultimate purpose. But that doesn’t mean we’re ignoring their existence. The reason we somehow achieve victory is because the words of the victor have power. When we lead the war to victory. At that time, we have the power to bring the prisoners back safely because we have captured the advantageous heights.”

if defeated.

Far from getting the prisoners back, most of the people may have been taken to labor.

So I won.

At the negotiating table, the Kronos Empire confessed that they had released the prisoners without first telling them.

That was the difference.

Roman Dmitry.

I knew the winner’s advantage.

Only by gaining the upper hand, paradoxically, the possibility of revitalizing the prisoners who had given up increases.

“We used sacrifice as a stepping stone to become a winner. From now on, things are different. I ignored the existence of prisoners of war during the war, but when the war is over, I will exercise the victor’s right to get my people back. win for that. Dmitry no longer has any reason to stand by Kronos’ atrocities.

said fiercely.

The leaders were agitated.

I found out then

The reason Roman Dmitry killed the prisoners of Kronos was not simply a decision to remove the burden.

“Gather your troops. In order to reclaim Dmitry’s people beyond the Western Front, I will be willing to wage war.

It was paradoxical.

They gave up their prisoners of war to win the war.

After the war was over, they decided to go to war for them.

However.

At the words that they would not turn away from the prisoners of war and the people of Dmitry, Dmitry’s leaders shouted with one voice.

“I will obey your orders!”

“I will obey your orders!”

Among them.

Viscount Konrad, who shouted passionately, was also included.

sacrifice.

It was a really complicated problem.

But the experience of a previous life gave Roman Dmitry a firm standard.

‘When I climbed up from the bottom of my life, I was a precarious being without anyone’s protection.’

It’s not just about the competition between the weak and the strong.

The magician at that time.

It was brutal.

Baek Jung-hyeok was once put on a dangerous mission under his father’s orders, but his purpose was achieved, but his life was in danger as he was pursued by enemies.

But the magician didn’t give any help.

Externally, they had to deny their orders, so they didn’t care at all whether Baek Joong-hyuk died or not.

An arrow is stabbed in the arm.

back was cut

At that time, Gwangma, who was still young, was hit by arrows several times to protect Baek Jung-hyuk.

It was on the brink.

Driven to death, Gwangma gritted her teeth and said.

“Lord! You must never die! Survive somehow, wipe out all the trashy bosses, and make sure your lord takes over the top of the magic bridge. Sacrifice for the devil? I am not embarrassed. But to deny and ignore our existence like this is unbearable.”

at that word.

thinking a lot

Magic is the world of the strong.

In this world where the strong monopolize everything, what is that strength for?

It was funny.

Baek Jung-hyeok’s father acted as if he was the most powerful man in Moorim, and in the end showed a meanness in denying the existence of those who sacrificed for him.

It’s a shame. It was different from the strength that Baek Joong-hyuk wanted.

In order to live the life he wanted, Baek Jung-hyuk wanted a level of strength that no one could reach.

if you get power.

I didn’t want to be mean.

Even though the process of winning the victory was dirty, I didn’t want to be a power-drunk jerk at the top.

so.

He said it like a promise to Gwangma.

“The day I take over the top of the Magic Kingdom. Even if I decide everything with the weak and strong diet, I will not turn away from those who sacrifice for me. Some might say that taking care of yourself is selfish. But in order to live selfishly, I will be strong to a level that no one can match.”

selfish life.

That was Baek Joong-hyuk’s goal.

In a world that revolves around him, he wanted to create his own world without any compromise.

magician.

Sapa Moorimdo, Jeongpa Moorimdo.

He knelt in front of Baek Joong-hyuk.

And now.

Whether it’s the Kronos Empire, the Valhalla Empire, or someone from beyond the abyss.

In this present life, too, he will not compromise at all for a selfish life.

crossed the border

Due to Dmitry’s sudden action, the Kronos Empire took an emergency.

Deng Deng Deng-

“Enemy!”

“The enemies have crossed the border!”

Kronos’ front-line defensive positions.

The place was turned upside down.

In an instant, the soldiers took their place on the wall, and the commander, Count Munez, hurriedly began to investigate the situation.

[ ] It seems that Roman Dmitry confirmed the existence of prisoners of war. First try to negotiate. If it comes out to the extreme, I will kill all the prisoners and completely destroy the evidence.]

shit!

Count Munez distorted his expression.

prisoners of war.

At the time of their expropriation, Count Munez had expressed the opinion that it would not be better to return them to Dmitry at all costs.

There was no particular reason. I was simply afraid of Roman Dmitry.

I wanted to provide an excuse to cause problems for nothing, and prevent things from going wrong later.

However.

The water has already spilled.

Count Munez sent a messenger to solve the situation.

squeaky.

thud.

The door opened.

The messenger who raised the white flag ran towards the advancing Dmitry army on horseback.

By the way.

Shortly thereafter, a shocking scene unfolded.

Scratch!

A round object floated in the sky.

As the messenger approached to attempt a conversation, Roman Dmitry blew off the messenger’s head with a single blow.

blood splashed

In the blood dripping to the floor, the horse burst into tears and hurriedly ran away to the castle.

I lost my words.

I didn’t know that even the messenger who raised the white flag would be killed.

chuckle-

Dmitry-kun stopped walking.

Roman Dmitry stepped forward and raised his voice, looking at the Count Munez on the wall.

“The truce negotiations broke down. If you want to resolve this situation, bring Dmitry’s soldiers to me right now, instead of proposing to negotiate with a dirty mouth. I’ll give you just two hours. If you do not bring all the prisoners by any means possible, I guarantee you will not be killed nicely.”

It was a terrifying word.

next.

“Don’t even think about killing the prisoners or destroying the evidence. We have already secured all the evidence related to that. If even one person is missing. At that time, I will understand that you want war with Dmitry.”

It wasn’t a conversation.

unilateral notice.

Seeing Roman Dmitry retreating after finishing his speech, the foot of Count Munez fell on fire.
