The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - chapter 405

Ch 405

Continental Conquest (4)

The moment Alexander died.

The Marquis of Memphis came to a conclusion after deliberation.

‘Currently, there is no way to stop Roman Dmitry with the power of the Kronos Empire. It is a reality that must be accepted. The alliance between Kronos and Valhalla is still alive and well, but as time goes by, the limits will be exposed.’

It was a simple matter.

Roman Dmitry.

If there was no way to defeat the monster that killed Alexander, the war was only a matter of time, and the victor was already determined.

In addition, Valhalla is rapidly shaking from the inside.

As the Marquis of Memphis, he didn’t want to fight this dangerous battle, ; risking his own life and political life.

he is.

he is ; a parasitic that feed on the strong.

If the new flow was heading towards Roman Dmitry, I thought that it would not be a bad idea to jump on the flow like he had supported Emperor Kronos.

So I went to the palace.

After confirming the status of Emperor Cronus who was still alive, he secretly occupied the Imperial Palace completely.

And now.

The Marquis of Memphis reached out first.

The confident voice did not feel even the slightest shame while proposing that kind of a deal.

[Roman Dmitry. As you know, war is an act of gnawing at each other’s flesh. I admits that the current situation in the Kronos Empire is not good, but even so, Dmitry, you must also take damage to completely occupy this large piece of land. Negotiate at the right level. If you put Emperor Kronos under your control, Roman Dmitry can get the title of the hero who destroyed the empire. I will help Dmitry on his way to the Empire. However, please acknowledge my existence.]

It was a retrospective.

Emperor Kronos.

Alexander.

If the warlords were to die, the Marquis of Memphis could pass the blame on them and complete the calculation that a vacancy in power could be filled.

What a beautiful thing this is.

In the meantime, he lived like a dog for the emperor, but in return for his loyalty to Roman Dmitry, he will be able to become the king of a country.

It was certain.

It was a more beautiful ending than a situation where he will be dead.

And if Roman Dmitry was his backing, the nobles of Kronos who would want to take his place could also take a picture and press it.

[If you wish, I will announce a formal apology on behalf of Kronos as a war criminal nation. For me this is the best. Wouldn’t it be better for each other to solve problems through a reasonable compromise rather than to deal with difficulties with the war with Kronos till the end? The Kronos Empire is ready to embrace the new and changing trend.]

passed the option.

I didn’t think about rejection.

When he saw Roman Dmitry’s actions leading to surrender, he was convinced that he also wanted such an ending.

It was enough for Dmitry to swallow the plate he had made.

In a situation where there was nothing that could cause any harm to Dmitry, the Marquis of Memphis calmly waited for Roman Dmitry’s answer.

However.

“I refuse.”

A firm rejection.

The voice over the screen cracked the Marquis of Memphis’ face.

* * *

It was embarrassing.

connecting communication.

The Marquis of Memphis considered several possibilities.

If the opponent wanted to occupy an advantageous position after the end of the war, he thought that perhaps he might not accept the offer immediately and bounce it off properly.

But this wasn’t it.

At the resolute voice that seemed not to allow any room for negotiation, the Marquis of Memphis hurriedly fired.

[You refuse. Are you fcking serious?]

“Is there any reason not to reject?”

[Roman Dmitry. This is not a simple matter to think about. No matter how much Dmitry wins, the Kronos Empire is a huge country. The war is not over yet. If Kronos chooses to fight back, many of Dmitry’s people will die. Does that mean you’re willing to bear the damage now? Do you think you can end a cornered rat, or a wild beast, without blood?]

That was right.

cliff edge.

If you suggest a way for a beast to live in a corner, this war will be easier to finish than you may think.

Many people have already died.

If you accept just one compromise. The soldiers who follow Dmitry will be able to return to their families, which could be the outcome both sides hoped for.

However.

Roman Dmitry had a different idea.

“As you say, accepting compromise would be an easy and safe choice. Marquis of Memphis. I thought a lot about why this process was necessary, until I made the decision to go to war to the death of my people. What I want is not a simple victory. Once I have made a decision, I cannot be satisfied with until I reach an appropriate result.”

[What do I have to do to for you to be satisfied? I, the Marquis of Memphis! Didn’t I say I’d look after you!]

“It’s not that I didn’t like it. I want a clear precedent. To dispose of all the beings who put Dmitry in danger and who persecuted my people. He gave only one chance to the soldiers who did not know the truth of Alexander, but it is a different story for beings like you who have command. It doesn’t matter unless you know the truth. Only when we deal with you who enjoyed enough wealth and glory in the life that kronos lived, the future generations who will hear about today’s events will learn a lesson.”

Continental Conquest.

To rule this land, Roman Dmitry built up a story.

A sufficient reward for those who dedicate themselves to Dmitry, and a punishment that never allows compromise to those who cross the line.

The stories piled up one after another will solidify power.

When future generations have done something, the reward for that behavior will be found in the past history.

blast furnace.

“You are only meaningful when you die. Alexander, Emperor Cronus, Marquis of Memphis. In the history of Kronos, which was covered with darkness, beings who have been deeply involved in power must be executed, no matter what their stories are. That way people won’t try to repeat the same mistakes you did. That’s the ending I want. In order not to repeat the same mistakes historically. Once you see the blood, even if it means giving away all of my flesh, you have to see the end.”

[ ] crazy bastard.]

It was creepy.

Roman Dmitry was a madman.

At least, in the opinion of the Marquis of Memphis, none of the powerful men he had ever experienced had been so extreme.

Politics by nature requires a reasonable compromise.

The characters who will face Roman Dmitry in the future will try to see the end, but there was no fear of the situation in the eyes of the other person.

whoever you’re dealing with

He was sure to win.

With a far higher presence, the Marquis of Memphis lost the confidence to convince him.

Roman Dmitry said.

“The Marquis of Memphis. Invite all those who agree with you, and work hard until the very last moment. And one last thing I promise you.”

laughed

Enemies you’ve faced along the way.

He spit out the words he had repeatedly told them to put his opponents into despair.

“We will see each other soon.”

* * *

tuk.

Communication is cut off.

” damn it.”

The Marquis of Memphis gripped his head in pain.

I had no idea the negotiations would end like this.

It was intended to bring out the ideal result through a suitable tug of war, but the opponent had no room for compromise.

“Did I not tell you? Roman Dmitry is not one to compromise.”

right next door.

A muffled voice was heard.

When he turned his gaze, he saw Emperor Kronos with a thin face.

When Alexander died, his possession was lifted, but in the meantime, he slowly died in exchange for accepting another soul.

A shadow of death fell under his eyes.

The barren, withered being, who had never been called the greatest emperor of all time, smiled as he looked at the Marquis of Memphis.

“It’s such a life. It’s like a bastard who nodded his head saying he was unconditionally right even though he knew he was wrong, trying to live his life somehow. You have gained immense power. If I were normal, guys like you would take over the power of Kronos… .”

damn!

“Shut up, you bastard!”

slapped cheeks

Emperor Cronus’s head turned quickly, and his dying face was covered in blood.

This was the Imperial Palace.

the emperor’s residence.

The beings who were supposed to protect Emperor Cronus had already died, and the knights of the Marquis of Memphis showed no signs of agitation even when they saw the devastating sight.

The Kronos Empire belonged to the Marquis of Memphis.

As all the beings who gave the right advice to Emperor Cronus, possessed by Alexander, all died, there was no one in this imperial palace to put a brake on the current Marquis of Memphis.

The Marquis of Memphis looked at him with bloody eyes.

cliff edge.

confused

With his heart pounding coldly, as the Marquis of Memphis, he had no intention of being treated like this.

“Yeah, let’s do it to the end. I will show you the cost of not daring to accept my compromise. Knight Commander.”

“Yes.”

“Declare the summons right now. Even the privates of ordinary nobles will be summoned to the capital, and we will fight a deadly fight here. And command the nobles of the East who are dealing with Roman Dmitry never to back down. If you raise a white flag or show compromise with the enemy. I will kill all beings associated with the tyrants who have abandoned their country. I will destroy the three tribes, and I will not spare even a single one of the people I have been close with.”

“all right.”

gave the order

The Marquis of Memphis sighed heavily.

He staggered, as if drunk, and sat down on a blood-stained throne.

dump.

“I don’t end up like this. Never, never… .”

Dangerously shining eyes.

Here in the capital of Kronos, the Marquis of Memphis will burn the last flames.

that afternoon.

There was a guest visiting Roman Dmitry.

“This is Chris. May I come in?”

“Come in.”

squeaky.

it was chris

Dmitry had spent a day at the enemy’s fortress, and not so long ago, Dmitry’s leaders had a heated meeting in a blood-stained conference room.

Roman Dmitry announced the offer of the Marquis of Memphis on the spot.

There must have been beings who were looking for a reasonable compromise, but none of the top leaders objected.

Chris sat down.

And then.

He opened his mouth carefully.

“My top leaders, including myself, agree with the master’s will. If you save people like the Marquis of Memphis, it’s sure to cause trouble later on. However I’m a little worried about this situation. The lord does not allow a single compromise on anything. That’s why we were able to create the Dmitry we are today, but lately some people are afraid of it.”

breakdown of negotiations.

It was the result that everyone accepted.

Having traveled the battlefield with Roman Dmitry, they also knew why they had to see the end with Kronos.

However.

Sunrye left a message inside as well.

Worried that if he made a mistake against Roman Dmitry, he might be punished regardless of his achievements. Awe left behind fear.

People were nervous not to make a mistake in front of Roman Dmitry, which, over time, distanced himself from those who followed Roman Dmitry.

some characters.

Blind followers of Roman Dmitry, like Chris and Kevin, took fear positively, but not everyone in Dmitry was the same.

That was Chris’ concern.

Due to the image that Roman Dmitry was building, he was forced to become more and more lonely as time went on.

Roman Dmitry said.

“Like you said, people will be afraid of a life without compromise. Let me tell you an interesting story. A long time ago, there were two families fighting over the same area. After a fierce battle, one family won, and the victorious family was merciful to the victor and saved the family of the loser. What do you think happened as a result?”

” Did the defeated family later take revenge?”

“no. As a result, they disappeared into history. Terrified, I haven’t looked at power all my life.”

past life.

It was the story of Moorim.

When Chris showed his eyes that he couldn’t understand English, Roman Dmitry looked out the window with a blank look.

“Only one mercy. only one precedent. It took the fear out of people’s minds. Looking at the back of a loser alive and coming back, people witnessed not fear, but the fact that defeat does not die. Since then, the family has faced numerous challenges. Idle hands created problems every time, and the problems that piled up one after another eventually brought down the family. Therefore, no compromise is allowed. If I could spare the Marquis of Memphis. Rather than applaud the mercy, people will come to realize that even a character like the Marquis of Memphis can survive with a reasonable compromise. Then, in the future, a force with antipathy for Dmitry will try to cause trouble with a light heart.”

It’s not just one problem.

This was the starting point for the next problem.

Once will always cause the same problem over and over again, twice, three times, four times.

“What I want is a clear precedent. Through the death of the Marquis of Memphis, people will learn that breaking Dmitry’s laws is impossible with a complacency. Kris. It is natural for people to fear me. The stronger the power and the more clear the system, the more blunt the relationship between them and the distance between them.”

gradually.

very little.

The growing distance between the hearts will at some point make Roman Dmitry so lonely as Chris was worried.

However.

“Only in that way can a group move on the right path. Someone must rule out human relationships and follow clear precedents and laws. That is my role. Accepting your allegiance and sacrifice, I do what I have to do.”

It was the same in my previous life.

at the bottom of life.

Baek Joong-hyeok, who was alone, met many people on the way up to the peak, and when he reached the peak, he had no choice but to be alone again.

those who follow them.

He had to set a clear standard for them as well, so he was never allowed to have a human relationship that ordinary people feel.

That is.

It was the life of a ruler.

And the moorim of a previous life.

At the cost of the solitude of the absolute, he achieved an unprecedented peaceful era in the history of Moorim.

“This is the life I have accepted. You and I just have to live our own lives in our own realms.”

Why?

at that word.

A ripple broke out in Chris’ mind.
