Chapter 327 Arcadia’s Collapse (2)
One year after Baek Jung-hyeok ascended to the position of the Heavenly Demon.
A problem occurred.
One of the brothers, who had fled like a coward in the competition of bone and flesh, appeared in unity with the remnants of the former power.
They entrusted themselves to the North Sea Ice Palace.
This was possible because the mother of Baek Joong-hyeok’s half-brother was a person from the North Sea Ice Palace.
“As long as I, Baek Jin-myeong, live, Baek Jung-hyeok cannot yet be called the perfect leader of the Demonic Cult.”
in the land of the North Sea.
they raised their voices.
Their purpose was not to defeat Baek Joong-hyeok right away.
Baek Joong-hyeok showed overwhelming force in the process of ascending to the position of the Heavenly Demon, and even with the help of the North Sea Ice Palace, it was impossible to regain that position.
However, it was possible to obtain the congomul of power by emphasizing the fact that it was the bloodline of the heavenly demon.
They hoped to return to Makyo through an appropriate compromise, and even Baek Jung-hyeok thought it impossible to touch them hiding in the land of the North Sea.
North Sea.
It was a forbidden area.
Moorim’s history passed down from generation to generation warned never to set foot on the land of the North Sea.
just as expected.
Just as the heads of Dmitri raised their voices, the heads of the Demonic Cult were divided into two and a conflict of opinions arose.
“We have to kill Baek Jin-myeong. We can’t just watch them shake the foundations of the Demonic Cult.”
“Who doesn’t know that? Baek Jin-myeong deliberately showed up even though he knew that he would be in danger. Because I believe in the North Sea. No matter how powerful the Demonic Cult is, it is impossible to enter the land of the North Sea and kill Baek Jin-myeong.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s impossible. This must be dealt with at any cost!”
“If you get hit by enemies then there is no turning back!”
There was an uproar.
Both made sense.
Baek Jin-myung’s existence shook the foundations of the Demonic Cult, but the bitter cold and knee-deep snow in the North Sea was not a place to step into.
The North Sea has never been captured by the enemy.
The people of the North Sea Ice Palace knew how to use the environment of the North Sea, and as soon as the enemy set foot in the North Sea, they did not fight head-on, but slowly ate away the opponent’s physical strength in a hit-and-run way.
When you’re shivering from the cold, starving, and your stamina is low.
I was aiming for that time.
The North Sea’s martial arts, which are specialized in the environment of the North Sea, overwhelmingly won against any enemy in the North Sea.
This was the reason Baek Jin-myeong appeared.
He knew that even Baek Joong-hyeok would not be able to cross the line if he hid himself in the North Sea.
really if
If Baek Joong-hyeok made an extreme choice, then it might be a golden opportunity to regain the position of the Heavenly Demon.
that day.
Baek Joong-hyeok said.
“There are no exceptions to my Demonic Cult.”
raised an army
Baek Jung-hyeok knew that if he made an exception for them because the environment in the North Sea was harsh, it would create a crack in his position.
Fully prepared. In order to punish Baek Jin-myeong, he set foot on the land of the North Sea, and from then on, a fierce war broke out.
eyes were stained with blood. so many people died
Certainly, the reputation of the North Sea was not in vain, and the warriors of the North Sea flying over the snow were powerful.
but.
When Baek Joong-hyeok reached the North Sea Ice Palace through a snowstorm.
Enemies realized.
Baek Jung-hyeok, who rose from the bottom of his life to the top, is a person who has overcome countless difficulties such as the North Sea.
It was fundamentally different from Baek Jin-myeong, who avoided competition. A one-sided massacre ensued.
Baek Jung-hyeok opened the door of the North Sea Ice Palace, cut down all the enemies, and slashed the head of Baek Jin-myeong, who was terrified, leaving the bodies piled up like a mountain behind.
North Sea Ice Palace.
Like Baek Jin-myeong, it was the moment when their history ended.
later.
People said that the martial arts of the North Sea Ice Palace were lost along with the burning castle, but the truth was different.
In Baek Joong-hyeok’s head.
And in the report of the Demonic Cult.
The history of the North Sea Ice Palace disappeared just like that.

North Sea.
Arcadia.
It was a similar environment.
So the danger from the cold that Viscount Conrad was talking about was not a problem.
North Sea Ice Palace.
They dealt with the cold perfectly.
I knew what methods to use in order to survive in a harsh environment, apart from martial arts that simply utilized ice-like energy.
How to find food in the snow, how to make temporary shelter in the snow, how to move quickly through the snow, and so on.
In the lands of the North Sea, they created their own systems.
That is to say.
As for the problems that arose when moving to Arcadia, the cold was not a factor enough to cause hesitation in making a decision.
said Roman Dmitry.
“The important thing about this job is whether it’s worth it.”
The gaze was focused.
Even though they had been vehemently arguing just now, they listened to Roman Dmitri’s remarks as if they were always like that.
“Beyond the endless mountains. If the beings living in Arcadia hadn’t invaded Salamander’s realm, I might have made an exception for their world. But the reality is not. Dwarves nestled beneath the endless mountain range, Queen Isabel, her soldiers, and Cayden who are at war with the Kronos Empire. They are proving that Arcadia is also a world that lives under one sky. If so, the day will come when the Orcs of Arcadia cross the endless mountains.”
actually.
Baek Joong-hyeok respected the other world except Moorim, the midfielder.
If the North Sea Ice Palace had been satisfied with the territory of Sae Oe Murim, they might not have perished.
but crossed the line.
broke them down
The repetition of Arcadia’s name meant that they too had stepped into the realm of conquest.
“Arcadia is now a real problem. From the moment Cayden appears and he mentions the existence of the orcs, their presence in Dmitri’s future cannot be ruled out. Then there is some truth in Caden’s words. In order to make the endless mountains beyond Dmitri’s realm, a force like the ‘Luna Kingdom’ is needed to wipe out the Orcs of Arcadia and manage it. But that doesn’t mean we have to take excessive risks. Therefore, I intend to accept this job conditionally.”
overriding condition.
is to rule out the risk.
There was no reason for Dmitri to take risks for the safety of Luna Kingdom.
“first. In return for helping the Luna Kingdom, I will accept them as vassals. second. Unless there is a way to travel across the endless mountains in a short time, we decline the offer. Finally third. How many people can you move at once using the ‘teleport scroll’ with Dmitri across Felix’s Endless Mountains?”
“… 30 people is the limit. With the current technology, it would be difficult to have more than that.”
“For the third time, only 30 people, including myself, are leaving for Arcadia in Dmitry. As they requested, subjugation of the orcs should be given top priority, but if something dangerous happens to Dmitri, the teleport scroll will be used immediately.”
three conditions.
They were arrangements entirely for Dmitri.

Condition passed.
only 30 people.
And the condition that you will withdraw your feet at any time.
My heart sank for Cayden, but I had no intention of turning down the offer.
“Thank you very much!”
Isabelle said.
Roman Dmitry.
He said he had gone beyond human limits.
First of all, the fact that Roman Dmitri was included among the 30 people made me feel grateful for that alone.
Currently, the biggest problem in Luna Kingdom is that there is no one to deal with Graxar.
Even if only Roman Dmitri defeated that monstrous being, it was worth crossing the endless mountain range.
said Roman Dmitry.
“You must have prepared a way to quickly return to Luna Kingdom. Tell us about your plans for the future.”
“In fact, Luna Kingdom has been working on creating a ‘teleport point’ in the endless mountain range in order to create a link with the Salamander continent. And on the way over the endless mountain range, I took a one-time coordinate in the area where the teleport point was not installed, so you can use the point for about a week to get to Arcadia. But we can’t leave right now. It is true that the situation in Luna Kingdom is dangerous, but we need another week to prepare.”
one week.
There was a special reason.
No matter how quickly they passed, Arcadia’s bitter cold was sure to create many problems.
“The cold of Arcadia is completely beyond normal standards. Therefore, it is necessary to learn and move on to various ways to survive in the snow after adapting to the cold through our specially formulated drugs.”
“Let’s skip that process.”
“Dmitry Roman. This is a necessary process. If you don’t do that, it’s obviously dangerous… … .”
“No, I am not saying that I will not prepare. Dmitri, I’ll make sure I prepare for the cold on my own. We also need time to prepare, so we will leave a week later as scheduled.”
I was speechless.
It’s really dangerous.
I wanted to convince him somehow, but Luna Kingdom was in the position of absolute B (乙), so I couldn’t say anything hastily.
I’m afraid I’ll hurt Dmitri’s pride.
Caden took a step back.
“All right. But if you need my help, please let me know.”
* * *
One week.
I was upset.
Cayden wanted to visit Roman Dmitri again from time to time and tell him about the dangers of Arcadia.
‘If I went through an extreme environment, something big would happen.’
bitter cold.
heavy snow.
Arcadia was completely different from Salamander.
First of all, he wouldn’t be able to adapt to the extreme cold, and the problem was when he faced the Orcs.
The huge pile of snow gets your feet stuck in it.
Orcs who had lived in Arcadia knew how to fight in the snow, so it wasn’t a problem, but Dmitri’s soldiers were likely to be flustered and not be able to show their full potential.
furthermore.
There was also a phenomenon in which the aura was frozen.
So, it was frustrating to say that the use of mana is important in expressing the aura itself, but that he was preparing himself.
Leave Dmitri’s comfort.
It was a matter at stake for the future of Luna Kingdom.
I hesitated several times, but I could not go to Roman Dmitri and convince him.
Unless the other person feels the need.
No matter how much you teach, it’s hard to read.
so that.
After feeling the cold of Arcadia, I thought of persuading Roman Dmitri once again.
once now.
The news of this place had to be reported to Luna Kingdom.
Beep.
“I will report this situation. Roman Dmitri has decided to help Luna Kingdom. The number of people is 30, and it seems that we can arrive in Arcadia in about two weeks, including the preparation time. So avoid confrontation as much as possible and hold out at all costs in the direction of delaying it.”
Communications were not immediately connected.
The message arrived in a few hours, but the beings who received the communication showed a feeling of disappointment.
[Kayden. Only 30 people. There were tens of thousands of orcs in the gray wasteland, and even receiving help from 30 people couldn’t turn the situation around. Is there any way to persuade Roman Dmitri to get more troops?]
“This is the best. From Dmitri’s point of view, there is no reason to forcefully help us. Currently, the Salamander Continent is in a situation where the Valhalla Empire is showing signs of civil war, so they must also take risks if Dmitri unreasonably mobilizes troops. So I can’t ask for more than that. don’t you know? Even if we were in the same situation, we would not have helped other countries that much.”
[…] … Okay. Move carefully.]
Beyond communication.
I understand their disappointment.
Since Dmitri was the hope of Luna Kingdom, the number of 30 would be hopeless.
first.
I trusted Isabel’s eyes.
In fact, the people of Luna Kingdom, including Cayden, did not know exactly what kind of existence Roman Dmitri was.
The people who watched the war with the Cronus Empire only passed on the information from mouth to mouth, but the achievements he achieved were not very realistic.
Isabel said that it would be a success even with the help of only one ‘Roman Dmitry’.
Anyway, Roman Dmitri also said he would join Luna Row, so I tried to suppress my negative thoughts.
like that.
A week passed.
Beyond the endless mountains now.
It was time to leave for Arcadia.
