Changes left by war (1)

Hector's Star.

People looked up to Edwin Hector.

There was no doubt that he was a hero of unfathomable heaven bestowed upon him to save the fallen kingdom.

Is that so?

Edwin Hector also believed in his victory.

Until he meets Roman Dmitry.

Scratch!

poof.

blood splashed

The being that popped out of the darkness cut Hector's soldiers at once, and disappeared into darkness again.

The soldiers screamed and searched for Roman.

However, the moment they left the ranks even a little, the hand of darkness fell upon them, and the number of soldiers decreased one by one.

looking at it

Edwin Hector couldn't do anything.

His spirit existed in space as if it were floating, and he had no choice but to watch the soldiers die.

I found out then

this is a nightmare

I had to get up quickly, but no matter how hard I tried, the slaughter in front of me was not over.

'The variable in my plan was that I did not anticipate the existence of an extraordinary being named Roman Dmitry. If I could turn back time. Could I have completely brought down the southern front against Roman Dmitry?'

no.

It was impossible.

Looking back now, Roman Dmitry showed a step forward when fighting the Great Warriors compared to when he first faced Butler.

I didn't know how that was possible.

What is certain is that Roman Dmitry's limits could not be peered into like an abyss, so victory could not be guaranteed.

People called themselves the best talent.

Edwin Hector was also confident, if not arrogant, but one failure destroyed everything.

'I plunged the kingdom into the abyss of despair.'

If the.

If there hadn't been a war.

Could Hector have had a little more time in the kingdom?

As Edwin Hector's mind fell into the deep darkness, the slaughter that unfolded before his eyes was constantly repeated.

I don't know how much time has passed

mind is broken

He could not bear the responsibility of defeat.

Then then.

Edwin Hector saw the face of a soldier who had been killed by Roman.

'The royal family provided sufficient food as a reward to the soldiers who applied for this expedition. That soldier volunteered for the war even though he couldn't even use his sword properly to save his old mother. And he died horribly.'

My heart ached.

I don't think it's Roman's fault.

He must have also practiced his own justice, and since he was a loser, he had to fully bear this pain.

I woke up.

In the depths of despair, he remembered that there were people he needed to take care of.

'The kingdom of Hector is facing the worst. However, Hector is not yet destroyed. There are people who only look at me, so I must somehow find a way for them to live.'

evil.

darkness has gone

A bright light hit my eyes.

yet.

" How much time has passed?"

Edwin Hector opened his eyes.

* * *

about a week.

In the meantime, many things happened to Hector.

Those involved in the war kept their mouths shut, but news from Cairo plunged Hector into despair.

"The Butler Knight Commander was attacked by the demons of Cairo."

"It was a complete defeat from start to finish. The demon of Cairo alone slaughtered thousands of soldiers, and when that was not enough, he cut down Commander Butler and pierced the gates of the rear fortress. It's a fight we couldn't win in the first place. We thought Hector's star was the best talent in the world, but the wide world was full of monsters we didn't know about.

"The kingdom of Hector is over. We did everything we could for the war, and we got nothing."

Horrible rumors circulated.

Roman Dmitry.

Its name shook the continent.

With such a shocking performance, people talked about the birth of a really great swordsman in the Cairo Kingdom.

the problem is.

The scapegoat for that achievement was the kingdom of Hector.

In the desperate situation of the kingdom, Edwin Hector, as soon as he came to his senses, summoned the chiefs to visit the king.

"How is your body?"

Fine.

"Foolish boy. I never told you to risk your life. My inability to carry the burden of the royal family on you, but I didn't expect you to solve the problem at the cost of your son's life.

" Sorry.

Edwin Hector bowed his head.

Abby's heart.

It was warm.

However, Edwin Hector could not afford to waste time on human emotions.

father. Did you hear Jackson's report?"

heard.

"Three days ago. Anomalies have been discovered in a village in Hector. It was the village where the first poor crop had started, and there were reports that the ground was not enough to become dry and crumbly, it turned black and the living things were dying. It seems to be the curse of the Necromancer."

The Necromancer's Curse.

It was a sensitive issue.

Edwin Hector felt his heart sink as soon as he received the report from Jackson.

"At first, I thought that the poor harvest that came to Hector was a curse from God. However, if the same phenomenon as the Necromancer's curse occurred, perhaps the poor harvest that had tormented the Hector Kingdom was deliberately created. It's not even normal black magic. He worked for many years to inflict a curse that affected the whole of Hector, and as soon as the war was over, the curse was revealed without any regrets."

" Does that mean that there was a force waiting for us to attack the Kingdom of Cairo?"

Yes.

can't be sure

However.

There were forces that deliberately pushed the Hector kingdom to the edge of the cliff.

Edwin Hector, who checked numerous data as soon as he woke up from the hospital, came to a conclusion.

"At the time, we were just someone's puppets. The Kingdom of Cairo is no different. It is clear that the forces behind the darkness, purposely taking advantage of the two kingdoms fighting, took advantage. But right now, I can't afford to think about revenge. We need time to solve the current problems facing the kingdom of Hector and to clearly and thoroughly understand what kind of power is behind it."

"We don't have time."

I know.

I figured out the problem.

Even if he knew that it was the Necromancer's curse, it was not an easy problem to solve.

A curse spread throughout Hector.

At least the high priest had to step in.

Hector's power was beyond the reach, so in order to solve the problem, something was needed to turn the situation around.

"When I was young. The lord of the sky made a suggestion to me. If you give up your position as a prince and join the horse tower, I will give you a lot. I will sell my time to the Tower of the Sky."

" Edwin!"

Everyone opened their eyes.

Edwin's words.

It meant giving up the throne.

Knowing that, everyone tried to stop him, but Edwin Hector had already made up his mind.

"It only takes one year. That is the only way we can solve our problems."

they knew

The moment a solution is presented in any way.

The fact that the kingdom of Hector had no other choice to survive.

When the Cairo Kingdom was celebrating, the Hector Kingdom made a decision to let its hero go.

* * *

The war is over.

People went back to their own lives.

McBurney, who was an instructor at the Southern Training Center, lived in a bar after arriving in the capital, unlike the others.

"Big."

put down the bottle

It's been a while since I stopped drinking.

At the southern training camp, I didn't drink because I thought I had to keep the tension all the time, but now I can't stand it in my sanity.

lead the war to victory. McBurney received a huge reward in the process of Non-Gongong Haeng-Sang.

It was enough money to live on for the rest of his life if he sparingly, but such material compensation did not make McBurney happy.

"You want me to send you back to the battlefield? McBurney. Calm down. You're called a war hero thanks to Roman Dmitry, but you couldn't protect the Southern Training Center and lost all your men. This is the result that shows how useless you are on the battlefield, though you are only a one-man. But who will trust you and follow you? So, spend the rest of your years comfortably with the money you received from the royal family. That's a word that suits you."

The words of a senior commander.

It was a brutal reality.

He didn't know his limits, but he couldn't help but drink in a situation that was approaching reality.

wiggle wiggle.

drank alcohol

No matter how much I drank, I didn't get drunk, and my mind became clearer.

'I must die on the battlefield.'

Ten years of life on the battlefield.

He had many colleagues in the past.

They survived desperately while watching their deaths, and at some point people called McBurney a veteran warrior.

A talented person who rose to the rank of centurion as a commoner.

But his mind was not at peace.

Mental strength, worn out by the constant war, could no longer accept normal life.

when

I wanted to die on the battlefield along with my comrades.

Although that was McBurney's wish for his end, he was so humbled by the orders of his superiors who did not send him to the battlefield.

'Yeah, what can a one-armed prosecutor do?'

lately.

I heard a rumor about Roman.

He began to be called the hero of Cairo due to his achievements on the southern front, and he also showed overwhelming strides in friction with the Castro family.

He was such a great person.

At first, I thought the attitude to be trained with the soldiers was great, but now it has risen to a position that I could not dare to approach.

suddenly.

His servants were envious.

Having a man like Roman as lord and showing blind trust was the life McBurney wanted.

'There are already many talented people under Roman Dmitry. He wouldn't even notice a single-armed man like me who lost his fighting skills. McBurney, this is reality. You have already lost your worth as a warrior, and you have to accept reality in order not to repeat the same results as in the Southern Training Center.'

throat burned

I tried to drink again.

But then.

widely.

"Long time no see."

The man sitting next to him.

The moment he confirmed that he was Roman Dmitry, McBurney doubted his own eyes.

* * *

My heart raced.

Roman Dmitry.

own idol.

Why is he here?

At that moment, when my mind was complicatedly entangled, Roman spoke the main point.

"I need great people to plan for the future. McBurney. I think you are the kind of person who fits my plan. Ask directly. Don't you want to follow me to Dmitry?

Moment.

bang bang bang.

It felt like my heart would explode.

A rope came down from the sky.

It was the situation he had dreamed of, and there was no reason to refuse.

However.

" A very grateful suggestion, but as you know, I am a one-armed swordsman. Ever since I lost the arm that wielded the sword, I have no value as a swordsman. What could such a person do for Roman Dmitry? I'm worried that someone like me, who doesn't appreciate the value even in the Cairo Kingdom, will hold onto Roman Dmitry-sama's ankles.

I didn't want to refuse.

My heart accepted Roman's offer a hundred times.

nevertheless.

I had no choice but to say no.

arriving in the capital.

For a brief moment, the people in the unit to which they belonged spoke out about what they would do with the one-armed theme, saying that they should be discharged quickly.

That was the reality.

he is not a hero

He was lucky enough to live before his death, but he did nothing.

"It doesn't sound like a sign of rejection to my ears. Am I wrong?"

" ."

McBurney said nothing.

New world.

The criterion for Roman's acceptance of talent was not the present but the future value.

said Roman.

"Have you ever heard of a left-handed sword (左手劍)?"

Beyond Baek Jung-hyuk's memory.

Roman recalled the memory of a Moorim master who had an impressive performance.
