First Continental War (3)

There was a suffocating tension.

In response to Count Fabius' smirk, the Duke of Bamford skipped the greeting and spoke directly to the main point.

"You can see why I asked to speak. Continental law strictly forbids the use of poisons that cause indiscriminate slaughter during warfare.

It's the minimum conscience we promise to each other as human beings.

But why did Dmitry use poison? Do you not think about the consequences of your choices in this war?"

chanting conscience.

They didn't say it was their fault.

No, in the first place, including the preemptive strike, the Kronos Empire did not think that it was at all wrong.

it's war

Just like Hector's surprise crossing of the border, the attack on Dmitry's stronghold is a historically recurring incident, albeit contrary to continental law.

But poison is different.

The reason they do not actively use poison even with the Behemoth Tower is that they do not discriminate against enemies.

In addition, it is not easy to avoid civilians mixed with soldiers in the realm of reckless slaughter.

so that.

The Duke of Bamford was furious.

It was a rebuke remark as if Dmitry was using a poison that even Kronos did not dare use.

Count Fabius said.

"I understand what you mean, but that's just a recommendation. Isn't it an obligation to obey unconditionally? Just as there is no problem with the cause of 'war' even if you cross the border without any notice. We just saw the use of poison as an extension of that."

"Count Fabius. From now on, it would be better to say each word carefully, one by one."

Duke Bamford's expression turned bloody.

As he watched the hundreds of thousands of soldiers die, fierce anger erupted in his heart.

Kronos.

his country

In this world ruled by the emperor, the title of duke was the position he could get because he had devoted the most to his country.

Duke Bamford did not dare to hide his boiling anger.

"All laws in the world, including the Continental Law, usually have a starting point that led to the creation of such laws. Count Fabius. Why do you think the people of the Salamander Continent banned poison even during the war?"

"Hey, wasn't there a historically famous event?"

right. a very long time ago. Before Kronos obtained the title of empire, there were more kingdoms in the world than now. How would they perish? In order to take over each other's territory, they used terrifyingly contagious poisons, resulting in a devastating catastrophe that killed 30% of the population in three of the countries involved in the war. How many civilians do you think that number included? The part where I am responsible is not to repeat the past. If you betray even your last conscience as a human, do you think you will be able to handle the war against Kronos? Our way of saying you are cruel is not as cruel as you might think."

Some are right.

If the opponent wasn't the Kronos Empire.

Count Fabius might have nodded his head at his own decent remarks.

By the way.

"Yes, yes, I understand. I'm not even curious about the past, so what? Are you telling us to give up our heads like this and just die peacefully? As a human being, you want to keep your last conscience? I'm sorry, but I don't want to hear that from the Kronos Empire that put Dmitry into a corner.

Fabius's reaction was, indeed, a spectacle.

* * *

The opponent is Kronos.

obvious strength.

Those who have usually heard the rumors of Count Fabius are convinced that he, who is called a traitor, will wiggle his tail against Cronus.

Some were right.

If the circumstances and the time were right, he would turn back at any time if he swore allegiance to Kronos, but now he was following Roman Dmitry.

Betrayal is decisive.

But do your best, as if you would give your life for your new master.

It was the motto of life.

To Count Fabius, who had Roman Dmitry in his heart, the Kronos Empire was just one of many enemies.

Count Fabius said.

"These countries, where 30% of the population has disappeared, were later absorbed into the Kronos Empire and became the basis of the present empire. In the end, it could be said that Kronos was a beneficiary."

" What do you mean?"

"No, I was just stating the truth. And in the end, the Kronos Empire shouldn't be pointing out the use of poison, even if it's other countries, shouldn't it? Everyone in the world knows that Kronos uses 'black magic'. Especially in the process of my lord's return to Dmitry this time, the Kronos Empire openly revealed the power of black magic. Black magic is worse than poison. If poison is a child's play, black magic is the kind of power that can destroy the entire human race.

The attitude was rude.

From the beginning, he didn't want a smooth conversation.

"We just gave back as much as we had suffered. Even if I take this as an issue, I have no intention of apologizing."

"Count Fabius."

"Yes, tell me."

"Is there any evidence that the Kronos Empire used black magic? Not circumstance, evidence. There is no evidence anywhere that Roman Dmitry was attacked on his way back to the Kronos Empire. His Majesty the Emperor had foretold the assassination of Roman Dmitry, but that is another matter."

"Oh, is it?"

Fabius chuckled and laughed.

Kronos was such a country.

Even though everyone knows that the shadows belong to them, they force everyone to turn away from the truth.

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with Kronos. I tried to assassinate my master, attacked with shadows, used black magic in the process, and attacked Dmitry's stronghold, but in the end, Dmitry, who used poison, was totally at fault. So what do you want us to do? Isn't that why he raised his army to destroy us anyway? Humanity or whatever, if we lose the war, it is difficult for us to survive. No matter how Kronos has acted in the past, we have only chosen our own path. So, let's be cool with each other. Kronos' black magic, Dmitry's poison. Aren't we in a position to share our consciences with each other? If we turn around this way, let's not ask for such things while we run to death."

dare !"

And.

Count Fabius was in love.

"Don't you think Duke Bamford knows it well? The poison possessed by my master is not easy to decipher even as a behemoth horse tower. If we really wished for indiscriminate slaughter, we would have poisoned the heart of the capital. So don't say anything. We are defending our own good. If you want each other to go to the brink, you can't be sure what's going to happen from then on.

It was an obvious threat.

boldly.

Count Fabius exposed his teeth against the giants of Kronos.

* * *

The atmosphere has changed.

At Count Fabius's remarks, Duke Bamford, who was showing his anger, suddenly sank like a quiet sleep.

I know. Acknowledge each other's responsibilities, and let's get this done.

The threats worked.

Fabius has spoken out that poison can also be used in the capital to buy time, so the Kronos Empire will not be able to move easily.

At least until you have completely detoxified the 32 types of poison.

They were worried about the possible use of poison, so they had no choice but to move more cautiously than before.

By the way.

The Duke of Bamford made an abrupt utterance.

"Perhaps Dmitry had a plausible plan that made him decide on this war, and Roman Dmitry was at the center of it. honestly admit it It was unexpected for us to slaughter ten thousand troops in a surprise attack on Rascal, and to kill 100,000 men by poisoning them while attracting attention."

It meant a very overwhelming future.

If a being like Roman Dmitry had the wings of Kronos, the ambition of conquering the continent would have come faster than expected.

It was such a silly thing.

At least, Duke Bamford hoped that there would be hardships and adversity in the process of conquest of the continent.

"There was a time when I also spent a lot of time on the battlefield. That's when I felt alive, and after winning all the wars, I was given the title of 'Duke'. In fact, I still feel very uncomfortable with the cumbersome clothes worn by nobles. The Duke of Bamford, as people say, is more accustomed to living on the battlefield than living a comfortable life in the capital. By the way. Do you know why I left the battlefield? because you're old? Because the frequency of wars is less than before? Not everything."

It was an off-topic conversation.

The Duke of Bamford showed the truth to a non-existent being.

"Because I knew the power of the Kronos Empire. How strong is this country. The fact that the reward of victory would have come originally without me having to struggle, from then on, I lived a life that had nothing to do with war. Roman Dmitry. He's a great character. Born in a territory on the outskirts, he rose to the level of 6 stars at that young age, and his progress so far is so remarkable that there are no similar examples in Cronus. And with this case, it occurred to me that Roman Dmitry might be a greater person than we thought. But that's it. No one who knows the history of Kronos believes that Roman Dmitry is the one who will stand in the way of the ambitions of the Kronos Empire. But, I'm just looking forward to it.

laughed

Recalling the source of his confidence in Fabius, he showed a genuinely plastic expression.

"The stronger Roman Dmitry, the stronger. The more you fidget, the more you fiend. Dmitry, even if just one collapsed, the people of the Salamander Continent would have no choice but to acknowledge that the Kronos Empire had the right to rule the continent. So, please stick to the end. To make me feel alive."

Finally.

"Sincerely, I look forward to your propaganda."

The Duke of Bamford turned and returned to his camp.

At that time, Dmitry.

Hans thoroughly wiped the bodies of the patients who were lying like corpses with a warm towel.

" When did you get so big?"

in his gaze.

Kevin was seen.

He had taken off his jacket to wipe his body, but Kevin's body was so full of scars that he couldn't find a holy place.

There were some wounds that were newly created during this war, but most of them were from the previous wars.

Another wound over the wound. The wounds that piled up like that were proof of Kevin's hard work.

Oh yeah.

The feeling was new.

Even when I first met Kevin, although he had poison, he had no qualifications as a swordsman, but now he has grown up to become a swordsman recognized by the continent.

In particular, in the process of defeating Sven, Kevin's contribution was very great.

If he hadn't stopped Sven, there would have been more casualties.

everyone knew

Why did Kevin sacrifice himself?

With a strong desire to protect Dmitry, everyone hoped for Kevin to come to his senses safely.

and next to it.

Henderson was there.

Kevin was still apparently recovering a lot, but Henderson could be said to be a mountain ashtray.

It wouldn't be strange to die any time.

Every day Henderson's family came to visit and wept, but he did not speak out against Roman Dmitry.

Roman Dmitry did everything he could to keep Kevin and Henderson alive.

Knowing that heart, they rather showed gratitude.

I was heartbroken.

Tears welled up when I looked after them.

got up from his seat

We didn't know when the guests would come, so we tried to organize the surroundings a little so that they wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

It was good to be busy working when I was sad.

That was Hans' way of life, and as he worked hard to organize his surroundings, his sadness subsided a lot.

That was then.

As I was about to finish tidying up and walk, I heard a familiar voice behind me.

" How much time has passed?"

A dull voice from not opening his mouth for a long time.

Hans shook his head.

OK.

Kevin!

Kevin, who got up with a troubled face, was looking at Hans.
