Chapter 517
Chapter 517 Conquest of Seoul (4)
Duk-tuk-duk.
Drops of blood ran down the sword.
Jeong Mun-ho, mayor of Hanam, could not dare to predict how many people would have been killed by that sword.
“Are you the mayor of Hanam?”
Moment.
My heart sank.
Roman Dmitri asked, tilting his bloodstained head back, and a cold, heart-chilling voice predicted death.
Since then, my body has been shaking like crazy.
Even when Cha Young-min mentioned the rebellion, I thought it was ridiculous, but Roman Dmitri, who faced him, overwhelmed him with his tremendous presence.
‘I will die at this rate.’
I knew it instinctively.
Hanam is over.
With the central government refusing to help, the only way to survive was to appeal to human emotions.
dump.
“Ha I will surrender!”
got down on his knees
He lowered his head and shouted loudly.
“I made a stupid mistake. The truth is, I wanted to join the rebels too. Who would be truly loyal to a central government that doesn’t care about the welfare of the provinces every time? It was an inevitable choice for me. Hanam and Seoul are very close. There is a blade of the central government right under the chin saying that the fist is scarier than the law. How can I refuse them?”
I sincerely regret it.
If he had known that the central government would abandon Hanam so easily, he would have listened to Cha Young-min’s story a little more.
“Ha, give me one chance. Please consider the choices of the weak without power. if you give me a chance As if I survived the war, I will contact the central government and tell them all what their plans are!”
longed for life
Beyond Roman Dmitry.
Bodies were seen.
There must have been hundreds of soldiers by the time they reached the office, but living things were cooling down in the visible space.
Roman Dmitri had no choice but to be merciful.
Jung Moon-ho was more desperate than ever and looked up at Roman Dmitri while still on his knees.
I was used to it.
Roman Dmitri’s lips twitched at the losers’ earnestness.
“Didn’t we all know the truth? The central government is a group that survives by sucking the blood of the entire Republic of Korea. So I didn’t bother to convince you. The appearances I showed in Incheon Clear results of dealing with S-rank monsters and monster waves. If you hadn’t been seduced by the decent benefits of the central government, you and others would have known that I could turn the tide of the Republic of Korea. In fact, cities like Seongnam and Gwacheon, which are in a similar situation to Hanam, have expressed their intention to agree with my will even at risk. it’s your choice You knew that this country was wrong, but you turned a blind eye to reality, thinking that it was better than everyone else.”
Shuk.
got a sword
Jung Moon-ho trembled.
His trembling mouth repeatedly asked for help, but Roman Dmitri did not listen to him.
“The central government showed hostility against Incheon just because they couldn’t recruit me, and they followed me even though they knew that Busan was branded as a rebel force. Choices come with a cost. I will grant the future I promised to those who believed in me. That’s it. There is no reason to show mercy to you who exist as an enemy.”
words spoken softly.
Jung Moon-ho closed his eyes tightly.
predicted the future.
like that.
Flash.
Jeong Mun-ho’s head flew off.
* * *
The fall of Hanam.
The news was immediately reported to the central government.
Since the catastrophe broke out, there have already been dozens of emergency meetings.
Leaving behind the stiff-faced lawmakers, the head of the intelligence department delivered the devastating news.
“… Roman Dmitri took down Hanam in just over an hour. Hanam Mayor Jeong Mun-ho was beheaded and executed, and Roman Dmitri did not spare any of Hanam’s soldiers. Mr. President. This is wrong. Roman Dmitri’s method is far beyond common sense.”
It was shocking.
Not enough to have violated international law, Roman Dmitry chose the cruel revenge of Hyo-su.
It was different from the standards of this world.
No matter how much war broke out, leaders were usually not executed immediately.
It was a common way to conciliate them to plan a new future or to receive compensation for losing a war.
But what about Hyo-su?
It was a terrible result.
Delivered a clear message.
“This is a message that we will show no mercy. For example, while the citizens of Hanam did not touch a single one, soldiers who showed a willingness to fight with weapons were killed without exception. Roman Dmitry is a madman. As soon as he defeated Hanam, he headed for Guri, and if this continues, Guri will face the same end as Hanam. Mr. President. Please give me an order.”
yet.
The catastrophe was not resolved.
Everywhere in Seoul was under attack, and if you paid attention to other places, you could collapse from the inside.
So I felt that Roman Dmitri was even crazier.
If you move your troops at a time like this, you might encounter monsters, but they acted as if there were no restrictions on their actions.
Kim Jeong-tae said.
“There are no exceptions to Korea’s principles. We will put the safety of Seoul first.”
“but… .”
“Chief of Information!”
Kim Jeong-tae shouted ferociously.
In fact, no one was more angry than he was here.
“It is unfortunate that those who follow us die. However, we cannot accept meaningless sacrifices to save them. We must use the crisis as an opportunity. Roman Dmitry broke international law. The whole world strictly forbade human fights for a month after the cataclysm, but he attacked the same human without any justification. That means the cause is with us. Due to the violation of international law, we have a cause to receive help from other countries, and China has expressed its position that it will actively help in this regard. It means that even if China enters the war right now, it will not be a problem.”
china.
In the beginning, we had a cooperative relationship with them.
Their reinforcements had already arrived, but securing the justification was a completely different matter than before.
“If Roman Dmitry had not violated international law, China would not have been directly involved in the civil war, other than providing informal assistance. But Roman Dmitry dug his own grave. China, as the world’s leading power, has the right to condemn Roman Dmitry for violating international law. So don’t be upset Chinese reinforcements have already arrived. We will solve all the problems while Roman Dmitri organizes the surrounding local governments, and when they reach Seoul, the ROK-China allied forces will greet them.”
Leaders, including Kim Jung-tae, knew.
One collaboration.
It was an irreversible river.
They have to build very close relations with China in the future, but they know there is no way to keep power.
Kim Jeong-tae said fiercely.
“Seoul will be safe as always.”

News from Hanam.
It wasn’t just the central government that caught fire.
In the case of copper, which was immediately mentioned as the next target, the top leaders gathered together and showed a very nervous look.
“… Can we stop Roman Dmitri?”
“Impossible. Hanam had a stronger force than ours, but didn’t it last for less than an hour before being swept away? never, never can stand it. Moreover, the central government has conveyed its intention to secure the security of Seoul first.”
“Damn you bastards. You gave all your liver and gallbladder up until now, but you turned away from us when you really needed it.”
Dissatisfaction was rampant.
them too.
At first, they believed in the central government.
So I flatly refused Cha Young-min’s contact, but I didn’t know that the situation would change so soon.
a man said
“You surrender now. I heard that reinforcements from China have arrived, but while they solve the monsters, Guri will perish. No matter how strong the Chinese reinforcements are, they cannot guarantee our safety. First of all, we must cooperate to survive. It is also a good idea to put off pretending to follow Roman Dmitri and later cooperate with the central government again if the situation changes.”
“you’re right. Didn’t you hear that the mayor of Hanam was filial piety? Roman Dmitri is a character without mercy, so he needs acting to survive.”
There was no other way.
at last.
The copper market made a decision.
Since there was no way to contact Roman Dmitri, he contacted Kim Jun-hyeok, the mayor of Incheon, and conveyed his intention to surrender.
however.
Kim Jun-hyeok said calmly from the other side of the screen.
[Didn’t Mayor Cha Young-min clearly deliver it? That there will never be a chance to turn it over again. A change of heart in a situation where the outcome is set cannot be trusted. Complete trust comes from uncertainty. I’m sorry, but I don’t think there’s any way I can help you.]
“Mayor Kim Jun-hyeok! Please consider our situation.”
[I am not the decision maker. There is something Roman Dmitri said to me as he left for the battlefield. I will not leave a single precedent. He said he would never let those he defined as enemies live. So, if you really want to survive, put up a white flag and beg for mercy when you face Roman Dmitri on the battlefield. Of course, I’m not sure if that’s the right choice. I’m just a follower of him, and I can’t guarantee that he will really show mercy.]
It was the harsh truth.
But people were not allowed to despair.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The office door burst open.
The soldier shouted with a pale face at the appearance of the leaders in bewilderment.
“The walls are down! Insurgent forces are attacking Guri!”
* * *
Guri was no different from Hanam.
The defenses were breached by a single man, Roman Dmitry, and even the men who had anticipated and prepared for the attack had no way to counter it.
The walls were stained with blood. In an instant, the defense system of Guri completely collapsed due to Roman Dmitri, who was slaughtering all over the city wall.
After that.
The direct command followed.
Taeseong Lee shouted as he slashed the soldiers.
“Follow Roman Dmitri!”
“We must win. If we lose, the central government won’t let Incheon live!”
There was no hesitation in direct command.
Incheon.
In the meantime, they have been persecuted by the central government.
I couldn’t look at the people who participated in the central government with a kind eye because I knew what kind of tricks the central government was trying to bring down Incheon.
If you can’t kill anyway, it’s a fight to die. As I sympathized with Roman Dmitri’s remarks, the mindset of the direct-controlled units participating in the conquest of Seoul intensely craved victory.
must win
Incheon survives.
Rather than being swayed by vague emotions, he faced the fact that his opponent was an enemy who tried to destroy Incheon.
however.
Not everyone was the same.
It was the same in Hanam, but against the soldiers of Guri, the wizards of 100 Days could not use their strength.
What kind of group is Baekil?
They sought justice.
For them, who live for the people, the act of killing and killing each other was inevitably against their convictions.
to that look.
Park Min-woo’s eyebrows went up.
‘What if these bastards hate Roman Dmitri?’
Mercy on the battlefield?
It’s bullshit.
Park Min-woo completely agreed with Roman Dmitri.
In his many years of experience as Emperor Alexander, he had seen countless people who were stabbed in the back for showing mercy on the battlefield.
You don’t have to create a situation where you beg for mercy in the first place.
I know it’s difficult, but it was only natural to be prepared for death the moment hostility was revealed.
Of course, I couldn’t tell the truth.
He wanted to yell at him not to act like an idiot on the battlefield, but completely different words came out of his mouth.
“Wizards of the Hundred Days, listen up! War does not necessarily represent evil. Just as even angels must take up arms to deal with the demons that plunge the world into destruction, we must swallow the horrors of reality to fight evil. The central government has been persecuting Incheon. For not following their intentions, they committed all sorts of evil deeds, and as a result, the people of Incheon died. will you forgive them Is it right for you to ignore malice just because you pursue justice?”
Death of Incheon people?
It was false.
I don’t know if that happened, but it was a fact that the people of Incheon suffered.
The central government will all die anyway.
Even if they deny that such a thing has happened, then the loser’s excuses will not work.
Fired up with a sense of justice.
Park Min-woo stepped forward.
“Follow me! For justice, we will fight. Those who are not here may call our justice an evil act, but if Korea regains peace, at least the people of the Republic of Korea will know that we willingly shed blood for justice. will be!”
“Follow the white-clad wizard!”
“For justice!”
The 100 Day Wizards shouted together.
Their eyes changed.
That sounds right.
There was simply a sense of resistance to war, but didn’t the opponent already commit all kinds of evil for victory?
From then on, the hesitation disappeared.
Led by Park Min-woo, his magic exploded.
Park Min-woo shouted in his heart.
‘Slaughter all the cheeky bastards who dare block the way of the Heavenly Demon!’
pure malice.
Park Min-woo just didn’t like the cubs against the Heavenly Demon, but the 100 Day Wizards shed tears of emotion.
“For the justice of Korea!”
“Long live the hundred days!”
People with a sense of justice.
overwhelmed the battlefield.
When Baek Il sincerely went into battle, Guri could not handle the unfavorable situation.
Only 2 hours have passed since the outbreak of war.
It was the moment when another city, Guri, following Hanam, collapsed.
