Chapter 419 Winner Takes All (5)
It was a period of upheaval.
At that ti when the world changed day by day, the prisoners of Dmitry Dungeon spent ti away from the world.
A space tinged with darkness.
Ares stared into the air with a haggard face.
His brilliantly shining appearance was nowhere to be found, and his silver-haired hair was tangled with blood and gave off a fishy sll.
When I looked down, I saw magic artifacts binding both wrists and ankles.
It gnawed away at the mana flowing inside the body and turned the aura swordsman, Ares, into a re ordinary person.
Jailbreak was impossible.
No, I had no intention of breaking out.
Ever since he was first imprisoned, Ares has been imrsed in only one thought.
‘Why was I defeated?’
Defeat.
It was unacceptable.
The other person was just a boy from the slums just a few years ago, and obviously there was an overwhelming difference between him and himself when he first t Kevin.
Never once did I think of defeat.
Even when he faced Kevin and dealt with him, Ares could not understand the situation in which he was being pushed back.
at last.
defeated.
In the situation that ca up over and over again in my head, my own reality was not important.
‘I’ve been struggling to carve out my own territory. I interpreted Alexander’s teachings in my own way, and people called a pioneer who will create a new generation. But does that an that all the efforts so far have no aning in front of Roman Dmitri? Just as I made rapid progress in a short period of ti after eting him, is it that the ti I’ve been working hard for was so insignificant that I couldn’t even defeat Kevin?’
It was disastrous.
et Roman Dmitry.
Ares has entered new territory.
And even such a leap forward, he fell on his knees against Kevin, who had experienced Roman Dmitri before him.
What a disappointing result this is.
Forced to realize that the ti he had been struggling with was aningless, Ares shook his head and fell into a pit of despair.
I was out of breath.
Where could I have gone wrong?
From the ti he accepted Alexander, he might have been moving towards the wrong future.
“… It’s a beggarly life.”
looked at the ceiling
Ares forgot the concept of ti as he gazed at the dark future-like ceiling where no sunlight was allowed.
Outside, the war is going on for a long ti.
Dmitri blocked Kronos’ plan with stronger power than expected, but he was not sure of their victory.
Alexander.
he is a monster
While acknowledging Roman Dmitri, Ares believed in the power of Alexander, whom he had been watching all along.
Not yet.
that it’s not over yet.
It was then.
Sigh.
In the distance, the sound of the door to the underground passage opening was heard. * * *
Hwareuk.
The torch flickered.
As soon as he checked Knight Commander Jonathan’s face revealed in the light, Ares burst out laughing involuntarily.
“… Dmitri has won.”
“okay.”
It was the worst outco.
Even though he spent repeated ti in prison, he still believed that Alexandre’s 9th circle magic could turn the situation around.
However, the result was different from what was expected.
From the calm eyes of Knight Commander Jonathan looking down at him, it was not difficult to predict that the outco of the fierce war had ended with Dmitri’s victory.
I closed my eyes tightly.
The reason why he hoped for Alexander’s victory until the end was not simply because of his loyalty to Alexander.
‘I’m wrong.’
Roman Dmitry.
Following him, Ares felt alive.
The knowledge of the new world made him rapidly develop, and as ti passed, he began to think that it would have been better if he had t Roman Dmitri before eting Alexander.
every night. Ares couldn’t sleep.
Conflicts popping out of nowhere made my head complicated, but the conclusion always ended with Alexander.
9th circle.
transcended human limits.
He couldn’t betray Alexander because he knew that his magic was powerful enough to blow up the capital in one shot.
It was a complex matter.
If only I had known that Roman Dmitri was strong enough to defeat Alexander.
When he was pondering at the crossroads of his choice, Ares might have thought of a new future.
I raised my head.
He looked at Knight Commander Jonathan, revealing a haggard face.
“… please explain to How Roman Dmitri defeated Alexander. That’s impossible. It had to be impossible. Don’t you know too well Alexandre is a monster beyond human limits. Although he reached the realm of God with a human body, how on earth was Roman Dmitri able to win?”
own appearance.
It didn’t matter if it looked old-fashioned.
I wanted to hear the truth.
I wanted to hear a convincing story, even if I couldn’t directly confirm how I defeated the existence that I thought was irresistible.
He made a decision based on common sense.
Even if I could turn back ti, it would have been right to choose Alexander between Alexander and Roman Dmitri.
at that point.
Knight Commander Jonathan showed a cold expression.
“There is nothing to explain to the sinner. The lord just won naturally, as always.”
gave a signal
The soldiers approached, opened the prison door, grabbed Ares from both sides and dragged them out.
It was helpless.
The ferocious beast that commanded the continent couldn’t shake off even the touch of a single soldier, and he looked at Knight Commander Jonathan with a look in his eyes, hoping for an answer.
However, the answer that ca back betrayed his expectations this ti too.
“If you want an answer, ask the lord directly. Today is the day of the coronation ceremony, when the lord ascends to the throne of the emperor. and.”
It was chilly.
From the day Ares betrayed him.
For humans like Ares, Knight Commander Jonathan did not allow them to be nice anymore.
“There will be an execution ceremony for you and other prisoners.”* * *
Dmitry.
A large crowd gathered there.
Those who had co to celebrate the coronation were utterly overwheld when they discovered the huge scaffold.
It wasn’t common.
It is normal for coronation ceremonies to see only good things and talk about good things for a new future, but Dmitry showed everyone the scaffold even before the coronation ceremony began.
Above them were the prisoners.
The prisoners with familiar faces couldn’t bear to face the eyes that were focused on them with miserable faces.
yet.
buzz buzz.
People got noisy.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on a presence that appeared through the crowd.
“It’s Roman Dmitri.”
“… Are you sure you want to conduct the execution yourself?”
Costu of Roman Dmitry.
It was unusual.
Since everyone knows that he will rise to the position of emperor, he thought he would wear a splendid outfit suitable for the coronation ceremony.
However, it was completely different from what I expected.
It was ard as if it were going to the battlefield, and the sword hanging from the waist gave people a frightening feeling.
Iron gruck Iron gruck.
He calmly accepted his gaze.
Standing on the scaffold, Roman Dmitry looked down at the crowd and raised his voice.
“I will proceed with the execution ceremony from now on.”
Mont.
People rolled their eyes.
It was as expected.
Roman Dmitry broke through and the soldiers, inford of the situation in advance, dragged a prisoner forward.
“The sinner’s na is Karman. After the collapse of the Kingdom of Odelia, Karman took advantage of the confusion among the people of the ruined country and caused a riot. If their intention was to rebuild Odelia, Dmitri would have actively supported it. However, the reality of Karman was just a minion following Alexander, and he intentionally caused a riot in ti for the outbreak of the Continental War.”
Shuk.
got a sword
As I pointed my sword at Karman’s neck, Karman trembled and begged for help.
but.
“Therefore, I sentence you to death.”
Flash.
Pooh.
Blood spattered.
When the head was blown off at once, Karman’s head, which was struggling, rose to the sky and blood splattered like a fountain.
The people watching widened their eyes.
What they expected was an emperor’s coronation full of laughter and happiness, but Roman Dmitri delivered a powerful ssage from the beginning with death and blood.
Soldiers dragged the corpse with its head missing.
A new criminal was placed on the scaffold, and before the blood on the floor had dried, the next execution took place.
“The criminal’s na is Hoffman. As the head of the Golden Bank, Hoffman fully supported the Kronos Empire even after knowing the truth about Alexander. blast furnace… .”
“Please please save !”
“I sentence you to death.”
Flash. Hoffman.
The president of Golden Bank, who once commanded the continent, lost his mind in vain.
above the scaffold.
Most of the beings who were executed directly in front of people were big figures, and whenever they proceeded to execute them while reciting their cris, people felt their mouths dry up.
I’ve heard about Dmitri’s laws.
I knew what kind of person Roman Dmitry was, but I didn’t know that the coronation ceremony would start like this.
Execution continued.
Blood flowed.
The floor couldn’t be soaked, and blood dripped under the scaffold.
how many people did he kill
When the last prisoner was left behind, the people who were watching suddenly reacted in an uproar.
“… It’s Ares.”
“Aresran.”
“Are you really planning to execute Ares as well?”
Ares.
A face familiar to all was finally placed on the scaffold.
* * *
Ares.
It was a very complex existence.
he is a traitor
He betrayed Dmitri at a crucial mont, and his betrayal put Dmitri in a fatal crisis.
In fact, the reason for the execution was clearer than anyone on the scaffold.
Even knowing that fact, the reason why people’s eyes were inevitably complicated was because Ares had devoted himself to Dmitri until now.
prisoner of war case.
Ares was at the forefront.
He wielded his aura towards the Cronus Empire and showed an active attitude towards recovering prisoners.
And that’s not all.
Ares was at the forefront when solving the problems of the Arcadia continent, and especially in the conflict with the Valhalla Empire, Ares went into limb alone to fulfill Roman Dmitri’s orders.
Everyone rembered what happened then.
Because of Ares’ contribution, Dmitri was able to win the war overwhelmingly.
My mind was complicated.
While people were watching, Ares, dragged out by the brutal hands of the soldiers, knelt on the scaffold.
dump.
It was a pitiful sight.
The hero who made Dmitry shine showed a haggard look, and his weak eyes were revealed through the tangled hair.
Ares, whom people rember, was full of confidence in everything.
It was the first ti he appeared in front of people with such a weak face, and so of the characters turned their attention to complicated emotions.
It was then.
Ares suddenly raised his voice before Roman Dmitri could say the cri.
“Lord. Please give a chance to repent. I don’t want to die like this.”
it was la
I did not accept the reality and grabbed the straw of life.
“I am well aware that I have made irreparable mistakes. I betrayed Dmitry. But before that, there are days dedicated to Dmitry. The conflict with the Kronos Empire, the disaster on the Arcadia continent, and even the war with Valhalla this ti. I have always given my life for Dmitry.”
The gaze was focused.
At the sight of people listening to his voice, Ares looked up at Roman Dmitri and appealed to his emotions.
“I had a lot of trouble at the crossroads of my choice. Betrayal of Dmitri was a difficult issue for as well, and I still regret it countless tis. Lord. It’s not that I won’t admit my fault. In the future, Dmitri will encounter nurous problems on the way as an empire, and he cannot kill that many people each ti. Please grant a precedent. If you don’t push people to the brink and allow a precedent that they have a chance to make up for their mistakes, the future of the empire will surely be bright.”
It was a sensitive issue.
precedent.
A firm and certain attitude established discipline, but there were definitely people who were uneasy about that boundary.
Ares ntioned that part.
At this point in Dmitri’s transformation, the chance to be forgiven was only in front of a crowd.
“If you spare , I will be what Dmitry needs, just as I have been.”
People held their breath.
It made sense.
The other prisoners may not know it, but Ares was what Dmitri needed.
At that ti, when the suffocating tension lingered, Roman Dmitri let out a cold voice.
“Ares. Even if Dmitri becos an empire, there is no reason for the thod he has pursued to change.”
I was not agitated.
I looked down at Ares with unwavering eyes.
“You definitely had a chance to turn things around. If you hadn’t chosen Alexander at the crossroads of your choice, it wouldn’t have mattered what your intentions were. in the past and in the future. The way Dmitri pursues will not change. We cannot allow a single precedent to imprint deep in our bones that people must pay a price for their words and actions.”
Eupchammasok (泣斬馬謖).
The relationship in the past didn’t matter.
Although he taught Ares a lot while ditating, a leader must have clear standards for all choices.
said Roman Dmitry.
“There are no exceptions. This is how the Dmitry Empire will follow in the future.”
There were no dramatic results.
As if to show off to everyone.
Roman Dmitry blew Ares’ head off.
Flash.
