Chapter 330 The Collapse of Arcadia (5)
For a while.
The people of Luna Kingdom expressed doubts about one subject.
An argument broke out over who was faster on the snow field, Gyro, the swordsman of the snow field, and Cayden, the white flying squirrel.
Most raised Kayden’s hand.
However, since Gyro also showed a great presence in the snow, there were people who strongly argued that Gyro might win.
at last.
The two had a confrontation.
It was a 10km race, and those who saw the results were in shock.
Cayden reached the finish line with overwhelming speed just as the gyro had just passed halfway.
Since then, its reputation as a white flying squirrel has been solidified.
At least in the snowy Arcadia, he was convinced that of all races, no one moved faster than Cayden.
so that.
Cayden couldn’t accept reality.
Obviously, he was moving at a high speed, but Dmitri’s men were not far behind.
‘… How the hell.’
It didn’t make sense.
The snow-covered ground is bound to sink your feet, and the stronger the man, the slower his movement.
So, Luna Kingdom was taught about ‘how to move on the snow’ from generation to generation.
How to step on your eyes to make them fall out less.
In particular, in the case of those who use aura, they have learned how to move quickly and advance explosively by stepping on the surface lightly.
It was not an area that could be learned through a day or two of teaching.
Sensitive control had to be accompanied by hard training.
however.
Roman Dmitri and the soldiers soon followed.
I sneakily checked the floor, but only very fine footprints were left where they passed.
‘I have a perfect idea of how to move on the snow. Otherwise, you can’t move on the snow with that level of traces. How did this happen? I know you never told Dmitri about Arcadia’s methods. Could it be that Dmitri developed it himself, as Roman Dmitri said?’
I couldn’t believe it.
The method used by Cayden was a product of Luna’s long history.
In a land with four seasons like Dmitri’s, it was impossible to create technology comparable to Luna’s.
furthermore.
The soldiers, including Roman Dmitri, did not seem to be shaken even in the cold weather and the blizzard that obstructed their vision.
They did not undergo any training to adapt to the cold.
It was normal for a normal person to go into a cave saying it was cold, rather than moving quickly.
I had mixed emotions.
I felt relieved that I had prepared everything, but my pride was hurt for no reason.
But I didn’t try to find out the truth.
‘perhaps… .’
Roman Dmitry.
He didn’t even leave a trace.
The sight of him gliding across the snow reminded him that Roman Dmitri might be faster than him.
The reason he didn’t push himself aside was simple.
Since you are the one guiding the way, you probably don’t feel the need to run that fast. I turned away from reality.
If there was no need to worry about Roman Dmitri, the priority was to get to Luna Fortress quickly from now on.
I focused on running.
As it is.
It looked like we could get to Luna before the day passed.
* * *
It ran for a while.
Shortly after leaving their destination, Cayden received a signal from the magic communicator that a message had arrived.
Beep.
[Kayden. Enemies began to appear in sight. We will start a life-and-death battle from now on.]
Stand tall.
I stopped walking.
I got a strange feeling from the message Sebastian sent.
[Enemies are interfering with our magic communications. I don’t know how they figured out our intentions, but they seemed to know that if we dragged out time, variables would arise. Tens of thousands of Orcs, led by Graxar, all arrived here. Maybe Luna will be captured before you even arrive.]
My hands trembled.
Interfering with magic communications?
It was only now that I understood the questionable situation.
From the moment I arrived in Arcadia, magic communication should be smooth, but the reply to the last contact did not arrive.
Graxar understood Luna’s intentions.
Contrary to his initial plan, he skipped all the warehouses and headed for Luna’s fortress, knowing that if he waited, Roman Dmitri might arrive.
I felt cold.
Luna was weak.
It was absolutely not enough to deal with tens of thousands of Orcs.
and last contact.
The moment he confirmed it, Cayden’s expression twisted into a stern expression.
[sorry. Give up this place and survive.]
It was certain.
Luna has already fallen into the clutches of her enemies.
* * *
There is something that people often get wrong.
Oak.
With the faces of pigs, the livestock raised by humans, they must be a savage and stupid tribe.
Zyro’s complacent plan may have originated from such a prejudice.
In reality, the orcs showed boldness without thinking back, but their leader, Graxar, was more cautious than what appeared to be.
Dealing with the gyro.
He immediately interrogated the prisoners.
The soldiers, distraught at being eaten alive, had no choice but to tell what they knew.
“Lo Roman Dmitri! Dmitri has agreed to help us!”
“Dmitri’s number is small. The fact that only 30 reinforcements were sent, Knight Gyro dug a trap to turn the situation around with Luna’s own power. I beg you please. I won’t ask for help. Please let me go once without pain.”
Graxar grasped the situation.
Roman Dmitry.
It was an unfamiliar name.
The Kingdom of Luna still heard information about the Salamander Continent through Isabel, but Graxar had no idea what kind of existence Roman Dmitri was.
But one thing was certain. I felt the anticipation for Roman Dmitri from the nuances the soldiers were talking about.
He must have been an unusual existence, and even with only 30 people, he judged that it might cause a variable.
“Chwiik Calort. Head straight to Luna Fortress.”
“I understand.”
changed strategy.
If your enemies are waiting for reinforcements.
In the first place, it was enough to wipe out the main force in Luna Fortress.
No matter how strong Roman Dmitry was, he could not turn the war around when the main force was lost.
And added details.
A shaman was mobilized to disrupt magic communication.
Finally, Luna’s walls were visible.
Graxar did not hesitate to issue orders to his men.
“Chwiik follow me.”
“Cheak!”
“Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”
It was earlier than expected.
As Graxar and the Orcs rushed at him, he saw the terrified soldiers on the walls of Luna.
They quickly found a spot and fired their arrows.
Hot water was poured on the ladders hanging on the wall to prevent them from climbing up, and some soldiers threw torches after pouring oil on them.
The flames were roaring.
No matter how much snow fell and piled up, the oil fire burned the bodies of the orcs.
Kwalung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Graxar raised an aura.
A red aura rose up and attacked the castle gate, but the result was different from when the seventh cellar was attacked.
Quaang!
Didn’t break.
No matter how hard I hit it, there was not a single scratch on the gate.
“bless.”
on top of the castle wall.
I saw the figure of High Priest Sebastian with his hands neatly gathered.
Luna Kingdom as a whole is a country with weak national power and not so many soldiers.
But when Isabel existed, it was God’s blessing that made them powerful.
Sebastian blew a blessing into the castle gate, making it harder than steel, and the resulting energy spread throughout the soldiers.
“die!”
“Oh God! Give me strength!”
The soldiers rallied.
As they climbed up the wall and thrust their weapons into the vital points of the Orcs, they showed a stronger appearance than before.
Luna.
It was the power of the Holy Kingdom.
It was the power that allowed them to survive as the only human nation in Arcadia, and when Isabel’s blessing was expressed, even ordinary soldiers showed tremendous strength.
Although not as strong as her, Sebastian’s divine power was also strong. Blessings enveloped the soldiers.
No matter how much they fought, their stamina did not drop, and even as they shed blood from the attacks of the orcs, they shouted God and fell down the wall with the enemy.
It was fierce.
Even though tens of thousands of Orcs pushed in, thousands of soldiers did not allow them to enter.
if.
If only there was a gyro.
No, if Leo, the commander of the Royal Knights, had not followed Isabel, he might have endured a little longer.
Graxar climbed the ladder.
As soon as he stood on the top of the wall, he cut down the rushing soldiers at once, and as he saw dozens of soldiers fall down while spraying blood, the soldiers showed a terrified expression.
It was an existence that even blessings could not handle.
Graxar’s terrifying life force forced Luna’s soldiers to face the bleak reality.
“The history of Chwiik Luna ends today.”
Graxar slaughter.
And then.
Quaang!
The chains holding the gates were cut off.
As the chains were released, over the gates that collapsed, charred orcs flooded in like waves.
finished.
High Priest Sebastian looked at it and closed his eyes.
“… Oh God.”
that.
It had happened just a day before Cayden arrived in Arcadia.
* * *
Crackle.
Luna’s fortress was set on fire.
Only the screams of people echoed across the ruined land.
“Kayak!”
“Please save me. Live only once… … Whoops!”
puck.
A club exploded on his head.
The man who prayed while holding onto the orc’s crotch, his eyes widened and he fell facedown on the ground.
Blood flowed.
Orc Carlot frowned.
“Chwiik annoying bastards. We intend to keep you alive. So don’t kill yourself.”
people who died during the war.
Their corpses had already been secured for food.
The corpses stockpiled in the icehouse would serve as food for a long time, but Graxar wanted to secure as many living creatures as possible.
There was no mercy for humans.
Since the end of the war would inevitably end with the annihilation of the different races, he was planning to prepare for the future by raising humans like livestock.
Luna’s Fortress.
It was a new storage warehouse.
Graxar left to attack other races, and 10,000 Orcs, including Calort, were in charge of Luna’s fortress and organized the situation.
Carrying the corpses to the ice warehouse. The living were thrown into a place designated as a barn.
And in case Dmitri’s reinforcements might come later, he repaired the gate and decorated the exterior as if ‘Luna’ was still alive.
It was a trap.
Foolish humans were more likely to be tricked if a soldier took a family hostage to act.
“… Luna is done.”
one of the prisoners.
A man named Smith said with a desperate face.
Gyro, who said he would subdue the orcs, became a livestock just like them, and Sebastian was dragged away by Graxar after fierce resistance.
The fate of the main characters was unknown.
Queen Isabel and the Royal Knight Commander Leo thought that there was no hope for Luna Kingdom because they had long lost contact.
of course.
I heard that Cayden persuaded Roman Dmitri.
But it was too late.
With just 30 people, including Roman Dmitri, far from dealing with Graxar, the Luna’s fortress, where Calort is holding out, won’t be able to do anything either.
Ten thousand orcs guarded this place.
Smith was stunned and wept as he watched his friend fall to the floor and bleed.
It was then.
“Chwiik Carlot! Humans have appeared!”
“Chwiik Roman Dmitry. It’s him!”
above the castle wall.
An orc who was watching reported the situation.
Carlot showed a fishy smile and grabbed the designated soldier by the back and dragged him forward.
“Chwiik human. You will be acting from now on. Make it as close to the walls as possible, as if this place had not yet been captured by the enemy. If you do that, Chwiik, I will spare you and your family.”
“I see.”
Carlot moved on.
perhaps.
It is possible that the situation here could have been transmitted through magic communication, breaking through the magic interference.
No matter what the circumstances.
If they approached stupidly, they would attack and wipe it out on top of the castle wall, and even if that wasn’t the case, there was no way to break through Luna’s fortress, which was guarded by 10,000 troops with 30 people.
I was excited.
Carlot could not hide her anticipation as she headed to the castle wall to see what the humans of the Salamander Continent would taste like.
From now on.
It was time to enjoy the winner’s rights.
