Chapter 523 Conquest of Seoul (10)
Roman Dmitri appears.
There was no time to think of anything else.
Jo Dal-soo and Moon Tae-jun met each other’s eyes, and without a second thought, they put their heads on the ground.
“I’m really sorry! Forgive me just once!”
“We made a mistake by not daring to get to know Roman Dmitri. I am sincerely reflecting and will live a life of repentance for the rest of my life from now on if you show me mercy with a heart like a great ocean. I will give my life for you, Roman Dmitri, and I will give you everything I have.”
It was a desperate voice.
As death approached, they abandoned their pride and begged for their lives.
I wanted to live.
Roman Dmitri didn’t even look at them as if he wasn’t interested in their appearance of erupting their desire to live.
“Park Min-woo. Report the current situation.”
“As planned, Geumcheon-gu failed to annihilate the monster wave. Currently, Geumcheon-gu is under attack by monsters and is driven to the brink as Chinese reinforcements retreat. Cho Dal-soo and Moon Tae-joon tried to escape as if they thought there was no chance, and I foresaw the plan and blocked the escape route.”
“i get it. With China’s retreat and Kim Jong-tae’s death, the war was already over. Before clearing up the remaining enemies, I will resolve the monster wave first to ensure the safety of the citizens.”
It was a reasonable order.
It was a decision considering the safety of the Republic of Korea, but Park Min-woo felt disappointed for no reason.
“… What will these sinners do?”
I thought Roman Dmitri would like it.
I knew that if I offered Jo Sung-soo and Moon Tae-joon, who had been arrogant, Roman Dmitri would be happy and throw them off their necks.
But you don’t even look at me. At the thought that his gift had not been eaten at all, Park Min-woo’s emotions cooled as quickly as he expected.
said Roman Dmitry.
“As soon as the safety of the Republic of Korea is secured, we will hold a public execution ceremony for war criminals. Cho Dal-soo and Moon Tae-joon will also be held accountable on the spot.”
“iced coffee.”
The procurement officer let out a sigh.
public execution.
It was the same as the thunder of the blue sky.
Since Roman Dmitri is not a person who collects the words he has spoken, he has not been able to maintain his sanity since then.
If you think about it, this war was caused by Jo Dal-soo and Moon Tae-joon.
If they recognized the true value of Roman Dmitri and formed a relationship in advance, if the central government showed an effort even belatedly, it might not have met the end as it is now.
But regret is always too late.
When Roman Dmitri’s shocking truth was confirmed, Kim Jeong-tae’s head had been blown away, and Roman Dmitri had no intention of forgiving Jo Dal-soo and Moon Tae-joon.
Like Kim Jong-tae.
They are remnants of the past.
In order for Korea to move toward a new future, they had to die.
Roman Dmitri took a step and spat out words.
“Good job. If war criminals had succeeded in exile as planned, we would have had noise from a fresh start.”
soft words.
Park Min-woo opened his eyes.
Well done.
Isn’t that a compliment to yourself?
Firecrackers exploded in my head, and my lips twitched and I couldn’t hide my laughter.
“thank you! And let me guide you. I will wipe out the monster wave at once.”
Park Min-woo runs with excitement.
Perhaps the liquidation of karma was an afterthought to him.
* * *
The situation was sorted out in an instant.
Roman Dmitri secured the safety of Korea, such as extinguishing the monster wave of Geumcheon-gu, and the remaining enemies raised a white flag over Kim Jeong-tae’s death.
They thought that if they surrendered voluntarily, Roman Dmitri might show them mercy, but contrary to their expectations, they were immediately tied up and taken to the scaffold.
Roman Dmitry ordered local heads of state to attend the execution.
In this way, countless people, including the mayors of each city, flocked to Yeongdeungpo Square, where Kim Jeong-tae died.
among them.
Busan Mayor Cha Young-min and Ulsan Mayor Lee Myeong-hwan were also there.
“… That’s amazing. When Roman Dmitri initially said that he would deal with the central government with the power of Incheon, I thought it was a pretty reckless judgment. But to produce such overwhelming results in just a few days. It makes me doubt whether I am dreaming.”
“That’s right. In a war that even involved China, Roman Dmitry won a landslide victory.”
admired
local governments.
They believed in Roman Dmitry.
He judged that the force he showed was enough to win, but the realm of nonsense was bound to cause anxiety until the results were confirmed.
They stayed in their respective cities and recalled the worst.
A painting in which Incheon is defeated and annihilated by the central government because of Roman Dmitri’s complacent choice not to mobilize the local government. At that time, you will be put in an irreversible situation.
The central government will not forgive those who join the rebels, and the fires of war will wipe out the rebel leaders Pusan and Ulsan.
I got goosebumps.
I couldn’t sit still.
Because their lives depended on Roman Dmitri, they looked out the window and prayed for safety.
and not long after
Shocking news of victory came.
I felt relieved at the news that I was to participate in the execution ceremony, but at the same time, I was in awe of Roman Dmitri.
he was a monster He possesses power that cannot be dared to be measured, and his trust in Roman Dmitri has grown stronger in a series of circumstances.
He was a man who kept his word.
He saved local governments from the threat of monsters, and the foolish plan to destroy the central government and create a new Republic of Korea proved true by blowing Kim Jeong-tae’s head off.
Trust has been solidified.
believed
It was judged that a person who keeps his words like gold is worthy enough to believe in him and build a future.
Yeongdeungpo Square.
The mayors of each city attended without exception.
In their field of vision, they could see Seoul’s district council members, once called symbols of power, kneeling on the scaffold.
It was the irony of life.
position has reversed.
Not so long ago they were in power, but the mayors were grateful to be in a position to watch them.
It was then.
“This is Roman Dmitri!”
“Open the way!”
The protagonist of the execution ceremony.
Roman Dmitry broke through the crowd.
* * *
Execution ceremony.
It was the moment when the war ended.
Roman Dmitry showed people how devastating the outcome of war was without adding or subtracting.
“These are people who know that Kim Jong-tae is unjust and that this country is going wrong, but they cling to him like parasites and only care about their own safety. By executing them, I will declare an end to the war.”
Shuk.
got a sword
undertook the execution.
Rather than putting blood on the hands of others, he took everything upon himself.
The legislators had a seizure.
The senator, whose sword was pointed right over his head, screamed with a pale face.
“Ha, wasn’t surrendering just saving lives? I heard that the soldiers are spared, but why are you punishing us so severely? If we kill them all like this, there will be no future for Seoul. Thinking of the future, please allow people like us some space.”
inciting a rebellion
It was a word that always followed.
It’s cruel, it’s harsh, why the hell do you do that?
In front of the people watching, Roman Dmitry spoke his will.
“A long time ago, there was a strong man that everyone acknowledged. He had a strong military force and excellent personality, and showed mercy to those who repented of themselves even if they were enemies. Nine out of ten of them have lived a new life. It never appeared in front of the strong man again, but only one being harbored an evil spirit and set fire to the house where the strong man was staying. That’s how he met a terrible death that his whole body was burned. This is why I show no mercy on the battlefield. I don’t allow one in a bay. Now that the war is over, the soldiers who were not allowed to make decisions are spared, but the commanders must fully take on the responsibility. The fact that you may sincerely reflect is not important. It just blocks the variables caused by you.”
strong.
He was a political figure.
People remembered him as a great person, but Roman Dmitry made him his anti-face teacher.
“Of course, there will be beings like you who change names depending on the right or wrong. Investigator Moon Tae-joon is like that. He abused his position as an inspector to persecute people and bring suffering to many.”
Cho Dal-soo and Moon Tae-joon.
saw them
The fear of death shook them madly.
Even if it was not the lawmakers who made the decision, all those who committed crimes like Moon Tae-joon were brought to the scaffold.
“When you committed atrocities, what were you thinking? It wouldn’t matter. Even if there were any problems, you would have thought that it would be okay because it would not be a threat to your safety. I am also the same. I have the power and I am willing to pay the price to be paid by summarily executing criminals. so… .”
gulp.
Someone swallowed dry saliva.
Overwhelmed.
It was an unfamiliar logic.
What Roman Dmitri said to those who lived in the position of the weak gave a tremendous sense of intimidation.
“All sinners die here.”
Flash.
puck!
* * *
Roman Dmitry came down from the scaffold.
His face was drenched in blood, and Roman Dmitri did not bother to wipe away the dripping drops of blood.
Kim Jun-hyeok approached and said.
“… It would have been able to placate public sentiment if a few people with weak sins were spared.”
Immediately after the execution of Kim Jong-tae.
Roman Dmitry won the hearts of the people.
And now.
Although the soldiers were said to have been saved, voices of uneasiness leaked out among the citizens as they killed all the lawmakers.
They had never seen such a cruel leader.
I knew what Roman Dmitri was talking about, and I knew that sinners did what they deserved by dying, but seeing them blow off the heads of imprisoned criminals one after another was visually shocking.
said Roman Dmitry.
“There is something you should keep in mind in the new Republic of Korea from now on. I am a leader who fulfills his duties and responsibilities, I do not want to be loved by everyone. if you have sinned Even if that opponent is you, I will cut off your head without hesitation. If you allow a special precedent for those who have committed sins, you will allow enough room for those who are at the crossroads of choice later. I just put out a clear standard, and the reaction of people who say it’s harsh is also natural.”
two lives.
Lived fiercely every time.
In a chaotic world, I knew that soft standards put people in even greater pain.
“Civil war is a fight between people inheriting the same blood to kill each other. Take full care of the lives of those who lost their families in this war. Even if they resent me, the state has a duty to take care of those left behind.”
“… People may not know the truth.”
“Does not matter. Even if our sincerity feels like a lie, the fact that the country tries to appear that way is important.”
reigning life.
Roman Dmitry kept a step away from people.
I know that it will make me lonely, but it has been proven in my two lives that only then can complete peace come to the world.
Maybe that’s why he misses Dmitri’s people even more.
Despite Roman Dmitri’s actions, which some people record as cruel, people like Hans and Chris Kevin recognized Roman Dmitri’s sincerity and tried to stay by his side.
It was different from my first life.
At that time, if he was in a hurry to live, Roman Dmitry was able to look back on his life only in his second life.
“Mayor Kim Joon-hyeok. If you want Incheon to flourish in the new Republic of Korea in the future, understand and learn the way of the strong. The way of a loser who is always anxious and afraid of being attacked is not allowed from now on.”
The world will change.
Korea will be at the center of it.
Roman Dmitri revealed a strong presence.
“And immediately summon all the leaders of the Republic of Korea. In the name of the leader of this country, I, Roman Dmitry.”
“I will follow orders.”
Kim Jun-hyeok lowered his head.
It seemed like it had to be.
Right now at this moment.
To Kim Joon-hyeok, Roman Dmitri felt like an irresistible and absolute presence.

Chapter 524 Conquest of Seoul (11)
The mayors of each city.
Incheon’s main characters.
Leaders who will create a new Republic of Korea gathered in one place.
Roman Dmitry prepared for a situation like this a long time ago and talked about the parts he had discussed with the people of Incheon.
“In the future, the Republic of Korea will be renamed the Korean Empire, and I, Roman Dmitry, will lead this country as the first emperor.”
People were perplexed.
It’s the Korean Empire!
From the beginning, he mentioned a topic that was difficult to handle.
The moment South Korea changes its name, the world’s major powers will react hostilely.
The state has already made a justification for violating international law.
If a small country like the Republic of Korea calls itself an empire, the great powers could not know what they would do to keep their place.
Above all.
China did not allow the title of emperor besides themselves.
The single fact of a name change made it possible for South Korea to be seen as a public enemy.
‘If it was like the starting point of my previous life, I would have laid the foundation step by step. But in this life there is no need for that. Nothing that opposes my ascension to the throne will be able to hinder the future of the Korean Empire.’
revealed aspirations.
The title of president was not enough.
In order to rule the world from now on, it was necessary to rise to the right position.
And that wasn’t all.
Changes have been made passionately.
“The capital will be moved from Seoul to Incheon, and Incheon, unlike the central government, will have a system to govern the entire country and respond immediately to national risk situations such as catastrophes. And Seoul will be treated as one city from now on, and Koo Cheol-ho of Cheongsan will be in charge as the new mayor of Seoul.”
“It’s Gu Cheol-ho.”
“I understand the relocation of the capital. It’s a necessary process to create a new system, but I don’t think it’s entrusting the city that was once the capital to Koo Cheol-ho.”
People’s reactions were normal.
Cheol-ho Gu of Cheongsan.
He is a person with no special impact.
When everyone left Incheon, although it was the only guild left in Incheon, it was an undeserved position for Gu Chul-ho, who was only a C-class mercenary.
Many foundations remain in Seoul.
Even if the capital is relocated, Seoul will remain a core city, so a suitable person needs to be in charge.
multiple problems.
could not readily accept it.
Roman Dmitri overwhelms the audience with the eyes of those who want an explanation.
“I fully understand why you underestimate Koo Cheol-ho. However, today’s Seoul does not need outstanding talent recognized by everyone. We succeeded in rebelling, but just a few months ago people said it was impossible to go against the central government. The central government rejected Incheon, and those who feared the central government left Incheon altogether. Under such circumstances, Cheongsan remained in Incheon. That is their ability.”
It’s not a fluke.
Knowing the results would seem like an easy task, but few people could make a judgment like liquidation.
“They accurately grasped the situation and bet on the fate of the guild, and the choice at that time, which was different from now when the rebellion was successful, was inevitably more valuable. Seoul is now in chaos. All of the lawmakers in charge of each district have died, and there is a high possibility that they will lose their focus in a situation where the capital is relocated. That’s why I judged Cheolho Koo as the right person for the position. Even when everyone says no, if Cheongsan wisely judged the situation, he would make a decision for Seoul without being biased. What Seoul needs today is not dazzling prosperity, but a stable system.”
“… .”
People shut up.
Roman Dmitry’s words.
It made sense.
Koo Cheol-ho is only the head of a small guild, but he took the advice of people like Park Ki-tae and boarded Roman Dmitri’s line when he was underrated.
It was also an ability. If we were looking for the right person to put an end to the chaos in Seoul, we needed Cheol-Ho Koo of Cheongsan rather than someone like Min Chan-Ki of Heavenly Sword.
Agreed.
Roman Dmitri said in the look of people accepting the situation.
“This country is going through a period of upheaval. Numerous countries will check us for violating international law and even changing our country name, and war may break out using them as an excuse. In the future, we will be under constant attack. But fear not. The reason I ascended to the position of emperor is to create a strong nation unshakable by external factors. It is not a weak country that is swayed here and there because of the influence of powerful countries, but rather a country that they have to meet our standards. So trust me. Remember the reason you believed in me in an unreasonable situation and bet everything on me.”
It was intense.
Korean Empire.
before the capital.
Cheol-ho Koo appointed as mayor.
All of the sensitive issues were resolved with the presence of Roman Dmitri.
believed him
From the moment the rebellion was successful, Roman Dmitri was established like a god in people’s hearts.
“Those who threaten the Korean Empire in the future will meet the same disastrous end as the central government because of me, Roman Dmitri.”
* * *
That day.
Shocking news was delivered to the people.
Roman Dmitry, who changed the name of the country to the Korean Empire and took the position of emperor himself.
Some people showed signs of uneasiness.
“… He is the emperor of the Korean Empire. If the great powers attack us like this, what are they going to do?”
“Can I believe in the existence of Roman Dmitri? He brutally punished the hostiles to the point of madness, and uses expressions such as subjects and emperors that are not appropriate for modern society. If he is a heinous dictator, we will suffer more than the Kim Jong-tae government.”
It was not unconditional disbelief.
It was a reaction from people who could not accept the nonsense, but the majority of people rather supported Roman Dmitri.
“I believe in Your Majesty, Emperor Roman Dmitry. When everyone turned away from the province, he really solved all the problems of the province, not just help. It’s just that the world he lives in is different from ours. Even if he ascends to the position of emperor because he has tremendous power, the great powers will not be able to touch the Korean Empire like before. lets think. Who will be the enemy of a monster that blew an S-rank monster away in one blow?”
“I don’t think negatively about Roman Dmitri’s cruelty. He made it clear to us. Strictly punishing the enemy to prevent the possibility of my people becoming dangerous. We are ‘my people’, so what are you worried about? In fact, as soon as the civil war is over, he is taking care of those who have been harmed first.”
People.
I believed Roman Dmitry.
Unlike the central government, the fact that he did not turn away from people was enough reason to believe and follow him.
A catastrophe that has been repeated many times.
Never before has South Korea resolved its issues so peacefully.
A lot of blood was shed in the civil war, but at least the city was not destroyed by monsters.
And there was a part that people agreed on in common.
“In turbulent times, we don’t need a benevolent and finite leader. In times of peace, peace and prosperity may be achieved, but in the present situation, when countless people are dying every day, we need a leader like a beast to lead the country strong. Roman Dmitry is a leader worthy of our turbulent times. No matter what the unsettling factors, it is true that he saved this country from the sixth catastrophe.”
new leader.
It still took some time to fully accept Roman Dmitri.
but.
people were convinced
At least, unlike the central government, they thought that a future ruled by Roman Dmitri would be safe.
A time when cataclysmic chaos is being sorted out.
Korea is.
No, the Korean Empire was facing such a change.
* * *
The drama of life reversal.
Gu Cheol-ho was like that.
He used to run a small and medium-sized mercenary guild that would have been treated as a simple service company in the past, but now he was in his office with his nameplate on it.
You’re the mayor of Seoul. It felt like my head was spinning.
Adrenaline rushed like crazy and loyalty to Roman Dmitri exploded.
to him like that.
Park Ki-tae made a new request.
“Guild leader. No, the mayor of Seoul. It’s understandable that you’re happy now that you’ve succeeded, but His Majesty Roman Dmitry is a man with certain rewards and punishments. It’s an unconventional greeting from anyone’s point of view, but what if the mayor fails to fulfill his duties? It is only a matter of time before the mayor falls as much as the criticism directed at His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry.”
“… Then, what should we do in the future?”
“It’s a simple matter. We just have to faithfully carry out the duties assigned to us. Seoul will be in chaos due to the relocation of the capital, and the mayor was chosen to put an end to the chaos. Just by resolving people’s conflicts and stabilizing Seoul, His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry will judge us useful.”
Park Ki-tae.
He was definitely good at judging the situation.
When Roman Dmitri was undervalued, the reason why liquidation remained was entirely thanks to Park Ki-tae’s advice.
And Gu Cheol-ho.
I knew my own reality.
Listening to the words of figures like Park Ki-tae, he organized what he had to do in the future.
“Gitae. I really want to do well. So, if there is something I am doing wrong next to me, please point it out right away.”
“all right.”
from the next day.
The procession to find Gu Cheol-ho continued.
Facing a period of upheaval, Seoul’s guilds ran around to ensure their future, and of course Seoul Mayor Gu Cheol-ho was the first to be boiled.
They went to Cheol-Ho Koo and made suggestions in various ways.
Some benefited in return for providing the guild’s power, while others threatened it with the guild’s power. Facing so many people who put pressure on him, Gu Cheol-ho said sternly.
“It is not allowed. In the future, Seoul plans to give benefits mainly to guilds that work hard for this city. If you don’t like it, leave Seoul. In the new future that His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry speaks of, Gu Cheol-ho will not forgive those who ruin the country with individual greed.”
Big guilds?
It wasn’t scary at all.
There was no reason to be afraid compared to Roman Dmitri, who blew off the heads of hostile forces with a single blow.
no matter how scary
no matter how strong
Would Roman Dmitry do it?
Cheolho Koo was like an AI robot.
I followed the system that Roman Dmitri said perfectly, and I listened to the words of outstanding people in each field, such as Park Ki-tae, knowing that I lacked my own abilities.
He was so happy just to be where he is now. That’s why he grabbed onto the rope called Roman Dmitri.
Koo Cheol-ho took office.
Even then, people said:
Seoul will go downhill, and apart from Roman Dmitri’s force, the country’s governance is still in doubt.
But could people have predicted it?
Roman Dmitry.
He achieved two reigns in his two lives.
For him, who governed numerous people and achieved a peaceful era, the management of the country was not an area of doubt.
the near future.
The day will come when questions like Gu Cheol-ho’s will turn into exclamation marks.
* * *
Several days passed.
In a short period of time, the Korean Empire quickly adapted to the changes.
Among them, there were three important points.
first.
It was the prosperity of Incheon.
After Incheon was decided as the capital, huge guilds such as Min Chan-gi, a heavenly sword, wanted to belong to Incheon. Kim Jun-hyeok accepted them gladly.
With the money they invested, the city development project was carried out, and in particular, the defense battalion led by Kang Min-ho was created and the soldiers in Incheon began to be trained in earnest.
That was part of the second point.
Roman Dmitry told people what to do next.
“In the future, we will form a system to stabilize the local system and solve problems such as food within the country. Don’t be afraid of the existence of monsters. The new central government will spare no support so that the entire Korean Empire can focus on daily life. Not only that, but in the next 6 months. If the Korean Empire is perfectly established, we will proceed with the subjugation of North Korea and Jeju Island, which are infested with monsters.”
North Korea and Jeju Island.
It is a land conquered by monsters.
So, whenever a catastrophe occurred, it always erupted a huge risk factor like an active volcano, and Roman Dmitri declared that he would solve the problem with the power of the Korean Empire.
It was an unconventional move. It was a problem that even the great powers could not step out of, but Roman Dmitri did not hesitate in the process of making a decision.
last third.
This was an undisclosed part.
Roman Dmitry took another look at the existence of China while experiencing civil war.
‘The Jungwon Murim and China where I lived are different worlds. In fact, at that time, the emperor of China regarded the Jungwon Murim as a thorn in his eye and carried out a policy of eradicating the Murim. In the new world, I recognized the existence of Murim, but history said that such a world did not exist. The people of the present world also accept the martial arts of Murim as the skills of the inheritors, not the skills of the present world. However, the person I met named Xiao Long was definitely a Moorim person. There is something. If we investigate them, we will be able to find traces of the Murim.’
Shaorong’s attitude change.
I didn’t think it was simply because I had a gut feeling of defeat.
His eyes were discovering something, and Roman Dmitri didn’t miss a moment.
for that reason.
He established an intelligence unit centered on Park Ki-tae.
Roman Dmitry highly evaluated Park Ki-tae’s ability.
In the future, he decided to learn about China, including Xiaolong, as an intelligence unit while assisting Gu Cheol-ho.
In fact, the conquest of North Korea was a sensitive issue related to China.
The top officials reacted with concern, but Roman Dmitry was not at all concerned about China’s presence.
Even if it is said that there is still a legacy of Moorim in China.
they won’t be able to handle themselves.
Isn’t Baek Joong-hyeok, the heavenly demon, the one who reigned over the world at the time when the Jungwon Moorim flourished the most?
period of upheaval.
At that time of rapid change, news came striking the Korean Empire.
[LA has LA collapsed!]
America was a red point.
In the end, the gigantic city of LA could not stand it and collapsed due to the continued attacks of the monsters.
Korea has regained peace.
But not yet.
The global catastrophe is far from over.
