Chapter 331 Thirty Reinforcements (1)
Immediately after confirming the communication.
Caden thought for a while.
Seeing Roman Dmitri waiting for him, he suppressed his devastated feelings and told the truth.
“… Luna’s fortress has fallen.”
My voice trembled.
The war is virtually over.
It was a war that was outnumbered from the beginning, so Luna’s fortress had to be defended somehow.
However, Luna’s fortress collapsed.
The fate of Sebastian and Gyro could not be confirmed, and Luna’s soldiers would have been reduced to food.
The possibility of abandoning the fort and surviving was non-existent.
There is a temple dedicated to the gods in Luna’s fortress, so people will defend it even at the risk of their lives.
“I will not ask you to stay any longer. The fall of Luna’s fortress means that there is no force left to turn the situation around. Thank you very much for taking the long walk to Arcadia. And sorry for not being able to reciprocate. The future of Luna Kingdom is already over.”
gritted it
like the mind.
I wanted to tell them to fight until the end for the sake of the possibility.
But I couldn’t.
As a devout believer in God, he did not want Dmitri to make senseless sacrifices for his goodwill.
Trying to somehow teach Luna’s skills.
These choices now too.
It was an effort not to be selfish.
Tens of thousands of Orcs must be holding on inside Luna’s fortress, but taking 30 troops to destroy it and bring Luna’s people back is a one-sided sacrifice.
It is tantamount to betraying goodwill.
No matter how conditional, Roman Dmitri sincerely took care of Luna, but Caden couldn’t drag Dmitri to hell in the obvious future.
If we break up like this
Cayden was thinking of heading to Luna alone.
will probably die
If captured by the Orcs, he would fall into a terrible situation where he would be slaughtered alive, but he would do his duty as a Knight of Luna.
Truly, life was unpredictable.
Even when he was training his sword when he was young, people around him would ask why he put so much effort into things he didn’t need.
Arcadia is.
It is a peaceful world.
There was no need for weapons because there was no war, and some pointed out that the construction of a fort was meaningless.
That’s how Luna’s future ended.
Arcadia can never go back to the old days.
A single betrayal, a single war brought distrust.
It was then.
“I told you. The choice is mine.”
Moment.
I looked at Roman Dmitry with a puzzled face.
When Isabel offered cooperation, Roman Dmitri refused, and even when he bowed his head to save Luna, Roman Dmitri thoroughly drew a line.
That was what Caden remembered.
If it was a war with no chance, it was Roman Dmitri who would withdraw without hesitation when he learned the truth.
however.
“From the moment Dmitri and Luna signed the contract, Luna became Dmitri’s vassal state. Cayden. Luna’s fate is not yours to decide. So, put aside your weak words and tell me everything you know about Luna’s Fortress from now on.”
Roman Dmitry.
I didn’t abandon Luna.
* * *
My heart was pounding.
I doubted my ears for a moment.
He said that Luna’s fortress had been destroyed, but Roman Dmitri didn’t seem to mind at all.
the problem is.
It was the same with other soldiers.
When Roman Dmitri said he would carry out an operation, it was normal for them to stop by the side, but they calmly accepted it without any reaction. I couldn’t understand the hell.
When he said he would send 30 reinforcements, he knew it was not common, but Dmitri far exceeded his expectations.
I couldn’t hide the truth any longer.
if there is any possibility
I wanted to do anything for Luna Kingdom.
said Cayden.
“Luna’s fortress is actually just a fortress, but it’s not a very suitable shape for Mercury. The wall itself is low and the interior is not very wide, so it cannot accommodate a large number of people. As you know, Luna is not a country with a large population. Residents usually live in villages adjacent to the fort, and key items such as food are managed within the fort. If the orcs of Graxar had captured Luna’s fortress. Not all of them will be able to live in the fort.”
“The grounds?”
“Graxar wants to feed other races. Even when they attacked the eighth cellar, they did not hesitate to kill to subdue it, but after that I heard reports of people being taken prisoner and left with minimal food. Perhaps they are trying to raise other races as livestock. Then, inside Luna’s fortress, there will be not only tens of thousands of Orcs, but also Luna’s people who have been captured. In order to handle that many people, some orcs have no choice but to live outside.”
blast furnace.
There were two hypotheses.
“The Orcs have two options. First, it is possible that they have deployed their troops inside and outside Luna’s Fortress and reorganized their lines, or left some troops behind to attack other races. Graxar is a very warlike being. Since we started the war, we will move non-stop until we capture Arcadia. From the beginning of the actual declaration of war until now. Graxar continues to wage war and attack the surroundings.”
the more you speak
My head was clear.
Roman Dmitry listened intently.
Unlike the Salamander Continent, there wasn’t much information, so I listened to Cayden’s words for enough information.
Is that why?
Cayden, too, took this ridiculous war seriously.
“In the case of the former, it is virtually impossible to recapture Luna’s fortress. But in the latter case, there is only one way. This is the passage that leads directly to the ice warehouse. An ice warehouse is a naturally formed cave, and Luna Kingdom has accumulated ice there and used it to keep food fresh. The cave’s secret passage leads outside. If you use it, you can sneak into Luna’s fortress without destroying the walls.”
I said everything I knew.
The choice fell to Roman Dmitry.
actually.
Although he mentioned the secret passage, it was an unreasonable strategy to enter Luna’s fortress, which was infested with tens of thousands of troops.
But now, I wanted to quietly follow him. Like Roman Dmitri’s soldiers, they supported what he was trying to do.
yet.
said Roman Dmitry.
“From now on, I will explain my plans for the future.”
* * *
Whiing.
The wind blew.
Through the blinding snowstorm, the three men walked toward Luna’s fortress.
above the castle wall.
The soldier, who had been grabbed by the scruff of the neck by Carlot, cried out in fear as the men approached.
“Stop! This is Luna’s domain!”
My body trembled.
behind the wall.
Carlot and the Orcs were watching the situation.
They aimed their weapons to kill the soldier’s family at any time, and when they looked at his wife’s face stained with fear, they couldn’t bear to refuse Carlotte’s order.
It was a pity for Dmitri’s reinforcements.
They obviously came to save Luna Kingdom, but Luna’s future was already over.
widely.
I stopped walking.
When the men looked up at the top of the castle wall, the soldier said.
“Reveal your identity.”
“I am Roman Dmitri of the Dmitri Kingdom. At Luna’s request, I came to help Luna.”
the other two.
It was Chris and Kevin.
The soldier looked at Roman Dmitri and showed a questioning expression.
“I heard that Dmitri’s reinforcements were 30 people. But why are there only three of you? And where is Knight Caden, who went to Dmitri?”
Roman Dmitry laughed.
It was like acting.
With his pale face and awkward tone, he could clearly see the situation going on even if he didn’t bother to know the truth.
“From now on, people of Luna, listen up!”
Moment.
He raised his voice.
Despite the soldier’s bewildered expression, Roman Dmitry continued his original purpose.
“Luna became a vassal of Dmitri. You belong to Dmitri and as of this time, I, Roman Dmitri, follow the orders. if you swear allegiance to me I will not forsake you.”
It was a sudden situation.
soldiers too.
Calort too.
I couldn’t understand what was happening.
In the scenario they envisioned, no such situation existed.
“If you are prepared to die and fight to the end. I will rescue you.”
It was then.
on top of the castle wall.
The orcs raised their heads.
Was it because he felt that the situation was not serious?
“Attack Chwiik!”
As Caloth shouted, the orcs fired arrows prepared in advance at Roman Dmitri.
That moment.
‘The first half of the Heavenly Demon’s Sword.’
Flash.
blow.
Roman Dmitry’s sword cut through the gates.

Secret passage.
Waiting for the signal, Cayden anxiously asked a colleague named McBurney next to him.
“… Do you think this operation will succeed?”
Roman Dmitry’s plan.
It was shocking.
After grasping the enemy’s movements, in the case of the latter, a small number of people, including Roman Dmitri, said they would draw attention from the gates.
Meanwhile, the rest of the force infiltrates the secret passage. The primary objective was the liberation of prisoners.
Not for the safety of prisoners.
Graxar.
he made a mistake
Securing the captives was a choice for the future, but if they regain freedom, Luna Kingdom can regain its strength.
That was the picture Roman Dmitri wanted.
If you raise an army with prisoners from the inside, the army of only 30 people can quickly multiply hundreds of times.
and face-to-face.
It was a difficult mission from start to finish.
It would be ridiculous to attract attention with only three people, and there was a possibility that even if they infiltrated through a secret passage, they could not subdue the internal guards.
And even if it really ideally frees the prisoners.
They had to deal with more than 10,000 Orcs, taking them with their weapons and physical strength.
So I asked.
When asked about the success of the operation, McBurney responded calmly.
“Yes, of course.”
There was not the slightest doubt.
McBurney.
It has experienced numerous wars, starting on the southern front.
Trusting and following Roman Dmitri, McBurney has led to several victories in absurd situations than this operation.
In addition, Roman Dmitri had a history of annihilating Rascal’s 10,000 troops with his own power.
Retaking the fortress was not without risk, but Dmitry’s victory at any cost was not in doubt.
strong conviction.
Caden felt strange.
He was genuinely curious about a man named Roman Dmitry where their faith came from.
‘If he really succeeds in this operation… … .’
vassal status.
I thought it wasn’t too bad.
At first, I didn’t really sympathize with Isabel’s request to visit Roman Dmitri, but Roman Dmitri didn’t abandon Luna even in the harsh environment.
In fact, the need for the kingdom of Luna to control Arcadia was not a very important issue.
From the moment Luna’s fortress fell, the meaning of the promise was lost, but Roman Dmitri was not a person who turned away from the importance of the promise.
If Isabel is an agent of God.
Roman Dmitry was a king in the true sense of the word.
Cayden, who had not allowed anyone to exist except Isabel, began to dream of a new future.
Roman Dmitri, who leads Luna.
It was the most ideal future in Arcadia, where peace had collapsed.
It was then.
Kwalung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
“Now.”
The signal that was predicted finally fell.
* * *
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The gate was broken.
Beyond the gate above the castle wall.
The orcs went wild.
Roman Dmitri took the first step at the sight of them revealing their heinous murderous lives.
“let’s go.”
“yes.”
Chris and Kevin follow.
They’re like nothing.
With no haste at all, he approached the enemies that filled his field of vision.
