Chapter 568 Changes in Just One Year (1)


    d.


    An emergency meeting was called there.


    The reason was the recent recurring appearance of monsters.


    “A year has already passed since the sixth cataclysm. Still, it is clear that the aftermath of the apocalypse lingers on thend, as the monsters rampage day and night. d will face an irreversible situation someday if we don’t deal with the beings that stimte the monsters with a sweeping operation.”


    “I don’t know either. However, d’s power cannot handle the current situation.”


    President of d.


    Aaron Vidarsson showed a devastated expression.


    He, too, wanted to solve the fundamental problem, as the leadership said.


    However, d was only a weak country, and for arge-scale sweeping operation, the defense of the main base had to be neglected.


    That was the problem. A week ago, an abnormal phenomenon was discovered near Selfoss, a vige in d, and the vige was ruined while troops were sent to solve it.


    From then on, even if a problem arises, rather than solving it, I closed the gate and watched the situation.


    A small country with a poption of about 300,000.


    It was difficult for d to deal with the aftermath of the catastrophe.


    In fact, the reason he was able to survive until now was because he was given enough trials to bear.


    Aaron Vidarsson said.


    “We asked for help from the ‘European Union’ to solve this problem. Their answer is that they can send troops to help in the short term, but if the fundamental problem is not resolved in that period, they have no choice but to return the troops. As you know, d is at a crossroads of choice. In a situation where the fundamental problem cannot be solved with short-term help, if another problem arises, then the destruction of this country will not be prevented. It is amazing that a small country with less than 300,000 people has endured so far.”


    “President… .”


    “There is no such thing as a president. I am incapable of solving the difficulties of this country. I am not giving you a clear n, but I am telling you that from now on you must choose one or the other.”


    In the meantime, I was in trouble.


    the future ahead.


    What is right for d.


    At the news of the death that kepting in, Aaron Vidarsson swallowed the horror and thought of two directions.


    “The first is to give up this country. If you cling to a small ind nation, one day the day wille when all the citizens of this country will die. Still in the European Union, we can survive if we somehow appeal to sympathy and carry out a relocation to the surface. Of course, the European Union would not want to ept all 300,000 people, but if public opinion is well formed, they will not be able to turn away unconditionally.”


    “That’s not okay.”


    “Abandoning the country? How much blood has been shed to defend this country!”


    “If so, we have no choice but to choose the method we have been ignoring.”


    opposition from the leaders.


    Weight was ced on the second direction.


    Looking at the shaking eyes of the leaders, Aaron Vidarsson spoke hisst hope in a determined voice.


    “Korean Empire. If we swear allegiance to them, we can defend this country.”


    * * *


    Korean Empire.


    Their recent behavior has been amazing.


    Over the past year, they have recaptured Jeju Ind and North Korea, forming a huge force from the Korean Empire to North Korea and China.


    It is an undeniable fact that they are already the world’s best power.


    But after Roman Dmitri revealed his ambitions a year ago, people looked at the Korean Empire a bit uneasy.


    It had to be.


    Calling himself emperor and leading the internationalmunity could lead to dictatorship if it was wrong.


    Roman Dmitri gave people a year, and during that time, China was the only country that openly expressed its position to follow the Korean Empire.


    It was a decision without a single thought. Since China immediately expressed its intention to support it a year ago, no one has expressed a position until now.


    In the meantime.


    Aaron Vidarsson mentioned the forbidden realm.


    The time to make a decision ising soon, but d’s arbitrary choice will surely cause problems.


    the leadership said.


    “It is a reckless choice. In a situation where no conclusion has yet been reached at the international conference, if only d reveals its position that it will follow the Korean Empire, it is highly likely that it will be bullied internationally. In any case, we are not part of the European Union now.”


    “Most of all I am concerned about the rumors about Dmitry Roman. If he really seeks tyranny, the power in his hands will doom the world.”


    1 year ago.


    Roman Dmitry was a hero of mankind.


    But as the years passed, ominous rumors about Roman Dmitri began to spread.


    Roman Dmitri’s cruel treatment of Red Moon Central Government, Russia, etc. is mentioned, and he is expressed as a viin who indiscriminately treats people who disagree with him. Salgwi’s case also became a problem. There was a lot of talk about Dmitri’s demon, saying that it was a being that would be useful to mankind in the future, but he was dealt with without thinking about saving him. It is obviously wrong to ughter people indiscriminately, but isn’t the rampage of the sessors killing because they wanted to? The direct killing without proper procedure proved how short-sighted Roman Dmitri was.


    Anxiety prevailed.


    It seemed that irreversible problems would ariseter if the brutal Roman Dmitri monopolized power.


    Of course, not everyone did.


    If half expressed anxiety, the other half raised their voices, saying not to discredit the hero who saved humanity.


    The problem was that an anxious mind prevented a decision.


    With no one but China yet to make a decision, d’s choice was likely to draw attention.


    but.


    There was no other way.


    Aaron Vidarsson said.


    “I understand that the gossip is worrying. But I believe in Roman Dmitri’s move. No matter how cruel his hands were, he showed steps for humanity, including the sixth cataclysm and technological revolution. The reason why I couldn’t make a decision was not simply because of anxiety about him, but because of the aftermath that would return when only d expressed a different opinion in the great power of the ‘European Union’. But it doesn’t matter now, does it? If the European Union cannot solve d’s problems, it is my feeling that I would rather persevere than abandon the country.”


    Everyone swallowed.


    They also agreed.


    crossroads of choice.


    It was clear that trusting and following the Korean Empire was a better option if they had to abandon this country in the distant future.


    I was worried.


    d’s choice will be heavily criticized.


    China had the national power to handle criticism, but d did not even have that power.


    atst.


    “All right. I will follow the will of the President.”


    “We want to protect this country.”


    By the time the one-year deadline wasing to an end.


    d made a decision.


    * * *


    d’s determination.


    The European Union was blown up.


    Even though less than an hour had passed since the official position was expressed, calls from each country were pouring in like crazy.


    Ennd, France, Germany, etc.


    One after another, they uttered usatory voices.


    “What the hell is this? The European Union is a collective. If everyone was looking in the same direction, the survival of mankind, but only d had a different opinion, what would our position be?”


    “President Aaron Vidarsson. You have made a big mistake now. Roman Dmitri is a person who may ruin mankind with his tyranny, but if you blindly follow him, you will cause great harm. Didn’t I tell you Even if we follow Roman Dmitri, we need reassurance and we can neverpromise until we are promised something about it!”


    “Do you want to blindly support the Korean Empire after hearing rumors? Please withdraw your announcement immediately.”


    There was an uproar.


    The European Union has taken the lead in deciding the overall decision through an international conference.


    However, when d suddenly acted unexpectedly, they sharply criticized d with the same voice.


    In the future, they may also reveal their position that they will follow the Korean Empire.


    However, such a choice was only possible after at least hearing Roman Dmitri’s exnation and the anxiety was relieved.


    It was the fear of incitement.


    Due to the rumors that have been piled up for a year, anxiety has settled in people’s minds.


    Even if it is not the majority opinion, the anxiety of the minority is enough to shake the whole opinion.


    set of circumstances.


    Aaron Vidarsson was ovee with regret.


    I thought back and forth dozens of times a day as to whether I had to somehow endure the cold contact between the heads of state and country with only the power of d.


    But the water has already spilled.


    From the moment I made a different choice from the EU as a whole, I knew that I could never go back to the situation before I expressed my position again.


    believed


    The promise of the Korean Empire.


    The confidence to ensure safety.


    But the next day.


    Aaron Vidarsson felt genuinely disappointed at the appearance of the person who came as the representative of the Korean Empire.


    “I am Jang Yoon-tae from 100 Days.”


    “… This is President Aaron Vidarsson.”


    Jang Yoon-tae.


    It was the first name I heard.


    As this is the first announcement to pierce the blood, I thought I would send a person whose name is well known in the Korean Empire. I didn’t want Roman Dmitri to appear in person.


    If figures representing the Korean Empire, such as Kim Joon-hyeok or Kim Pan-seok, had stepped forward, they would have believed that the Korean Empire was really sincere in this matter.


    But Jang Yoon-tae.


    I couldn’t help but be disappointed.


    Jang Yoon-tae spoke from the main point with a face full ofposure, probably reading Aaron Vidarsson’s thoughts.


    “I’m going to go ahead and tell you about the future. The form of association is simple. d and the Korean Empire help each other, but the Korean Empire has the right tomand. And as promised, a teleport magic circle will be formed in major bases including Reykjavik, the capital of d, and the management of the magic circle will be taken over by the Korean Empire. You’ll need that much manpower for arge-scale teleport. In addition, we n to deploy some of the garrison forces that will immediately solve the situation in d. If a really dangerous situation arises, we will send reinforcements via teleport, but if not, d’s troops and garrison will be enough to solve the problem.”


    Words thate out like a rapid-fire cannon.


    Aaron Vidarsson was speechless.


    There were many problems, such as teleportation magic circles installed at major bases, and garrison troops staying in d.


    If the Korean Empire had a bad heart, I thought that d could be safe if the Korean Empire had a system that could cause problems at any time.


    It wasn’t halfway. As promised in advance in return for following the Korean Empire, he said a system that could definitely protect it.


    And that wasn’t all.


    “Even if the Korean Empire has the right tomand, the Korean Empire will not treat d unfairly. And you know what? After China made a decision a year ago, d was the first to express its position that it would follow the Korean Empire. And His Majesty the Emperor is someone who appreciates bold decisions.”


    Jang Yoon-tae received an order from his superiors.


    “From now on, I will show you what the alliance with the Korean Empire means.”

    d’s trading base.


    Kevik.


    The teleport magic circle there was colored with bright light.


    A considerable amount of preparation was required for this teleportation, and soon, carts loaded with something were constantly pushed in.


    iron crook iron crook.


    A loud noise was heard from inside the cart.


    The captain of the guard stopped the first cart and stopped it.


    As requested by the Korean Empire, they epted the teleportation, but there was a need to prepare for an unexpected situation.


    What if the Korean Empire had a bad heart and moved the bomb? There was no reason to do that against d, but as the head of the guard in charge of the safety of a city, there were procedures that he had to check.


    Checked the contents.


    however.


    “… What is all this?”


    I was startled.


    inside the cart.


    Arms glistening in the sunlight were piled up like a mountain.


    As the captain of the guard, he recognized the quality of the weapons at once.


    It was clear that the smooth figure and unusual magical power consisted only of weapons of at least C grade or higher.


    The person in charge of the cart said calmly.


    “It is a gift from the Korean Empire to the allied forces. And… .”


    people didn’t know


    The technology of the Korean Empire made remarkable progress.


    to a level that goes beyond anything you can imagine.


    “It’s still just the 1st supply.”
