Arcadia's Fall (5)

onetime.

The people of the Luna Kingdom questioned one subject.

A dispute arose over who was faster in the snow, between the snowman Gyro and the white flying squirrel Cayden.

Most of them raised Kayden's hand.

However, there were people who strongly argued that the Gyro might win because the Gyro had a great presence in the snow.

finally.

The two battled.

It was a race that ran 10km, and those who saw the result were shocked.

About halfway through the Gyro, Cayden reached the finish line with overwhelming speed.

From then on, the reputation of the white flying squirrel was further solidified.

At least in the snowy Arcadia, he was convinced that none of the races moved faster than Cayden.

so that.

Cayden couldn't accept reality.

Apparently he was moving at a fast pace, and Dmitry's soldiers were not behind a single one.

' How?'

it didn't make sense

The ground covered with snow tends to swell, and the stronger the man, the slower the movement speed.

So, from generation to generation, the Luna Kingdom was taught how to move on the snow.

How to step on the snow to make it fall less.

Especially for those who use auras, they have learned how to move quickly and explosively by simply stepping on the surface.

It was not an area that could be mastered in a day or two.

Sensitive control had to accompany rigorous training.

By the way.

Roman Dmitry and his men quickly followed suit.

I glanced at the floor, and only very minute traces were left in the place they passed.

'I have a perfect grasp of how to move over the snow. Otherwise, you can't move on snow with that level of trail. How did this happen? I know you never told Dmitry about Arcadia's method. Perhaps, as Roman Dmitry said, Dmitry developed it on his own.'

I couldn't believe it.

The method Cayden used was a product of Luna's long history.

In a land with four seasons like Dmitry, it was impossible to create a technology comparable to Luna.

Besides.

The soldiers, including Roman Dmitry, did not show much shaking in the harsh cold and the blizzard that obstructed visibility.

They did not undergo any training to acclimatise to the cold.

It was normal for a normal person to try to enter a cave because it was cold, far from moving fast.

I felt complicated.

I felt relieved that I was fully prepared, but my pride was hurt for nothing.

But he did not try to ascertain the truth.

'perhaps .'

Roman Dmitry.

He didn't even leave a mark.

The sight of him gliding over the snow made him think that Roman Dmitry might be faster than him.

The reason he didn't let himself go was simple.

Since you are the one leading the way, you probably don't feel the need to run that fast. ignored reality.

If there was no need to worry about Roman Dmitry, from now on, the priority was to get to Fort Luna as soon as possible.

focused on running.

if it's like this

Before the day was over, it seemed that he could reach Luna.

ran for a while

Shortly after leaving the destination, Cayden received a signal from the magic communicator that contact had arrived.

beep.

[Kaden. Enemies began to appear in sight. We will start a life-or-death battle from now on.]

stand tall.

stopped walking.

In the message Sebastian sent, I got a strange feeling.

[Enemies are interfering with our magical communication. We don't know how they figured out our intentions, but they do know that over time, variables will arise. Tens of thousands of Orcs have all arrived here, with Graxxar as the head. Perhaps, Luna will be captured before you arrive.]

My hands trembled.

Interfering with magic communication.

Now the questionable situation was understood.

From the moment they arrived in Arcadia, magic communication should be smooth, but the reply from the last contact did not arrive.

Graxxar understood Luna's intentions.

Knowing that Roman Dmitry might arrive if he took too long, he went through all the storages and headed for Luna's Fortress, contrary to his original plan.

I felt cool.

Luna was weak.

To deal with tens of thousands of orcs, it was absolutely not enough.

And last contact.

The moment he confirmed it, Kayden's expression twisted violently.

[I'm sorry. Give up this place, and even you survive.]

It was certain.

Luna has already fallen into the hands of the enemies.

* * *

There is something that people often misunderstand.

Oak.

As long as the face of pigs, the domestic animals raised by humans, they would be a barbaric and stupid race.

Gyro's negligent plans may have stemmed from such prejudice.

In fact, the Orcs showed a boldness that did not think backwards, but their leader, Graxxar, was more cautious than it seemed.

handling the gyro.

He immediately interrogated the prisoners.

In a situation where they were eaten alive, the insane soldiers had no choice but to tell them what they knew.

"Row, Roman Dmitry! Dmitry has agreed to help us!"

"The number of Dmitry is few. Given the fact that only 30 reinforcements were sent, the Gyro Knight dug a trap to turn the situation around with Luna's power. Please, please. I'm not going to ask you to live. No pain, just one time."

Graxxar understood the situation.

Roman Dmitry.

It was an unfamiliar name.

The Luna Kingdom still heard the information of the Salamander Continent through Isabelle, but Graxxar had no idea what Roman Dmitry was.

But one thing was certain. From the nuances spoken by the soldiers, I felt anticipation for Roman Dmitry.

He decided that it must have been unusual, and that even if there were only 30 people, it might cause a change.

"Chwiik, Carlot. Head straight to Fort Luna."

"Chwiik, I understand."

changed the strategy.

If the enemies are waiting for reinforcements.

In the first place, it was enough to wipe out the main unit at Luna Fortress.

No matter how strong Roman Dmitry was, he could not turn the war around when he lost his main force.

And added details.

He mobilized a shaman to disrupt magic communication.

Finally, Luna's wall was visible.

Graxxar did not delay and gave orders to the soldiers.

"Chwiik, follow me."

"Great!"

"Crumbly."

It was earlier than expected.

As Graxxar and the orcs rushed at him, he could see the soldiers terrified on the wall of Luna.

They quickly found their place and fired arrows.

Hot water was poured on the ladder hanging from the wall to prevent it from ascending, and some soldiers threw a torch after spraying oil.

The fire blazed brightly.

No matter how much snow fell and snow piled up, the fire on the oil burned the bodies of the orcs.

Kwareung.

Quiet rumble.

Graxxar raised an aura.

A red aura rose and attacked the gates, but the result was different from when they attacked the seventh cellar.

Quang!

not broken

No matter how hard I hit it, there wasn't a single scratch on the gate.

"Bless."

above the wall.

High Priest Sebastian was seen with his hands neatly gathered.

The Luna Kingdom as a whole was weak in national power, and the number of soldiers was not that many.

But when Isabel existed, they were strong because of God's blessing.

Sebastian breathed blessings into the gates to make them harder than steel, and the resulting energy spread throughout the soldiers.

die!

Oh God! Give me strength!"

The soldiers gave strength.

As they climbed up the wall and stabbed their weapons at 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 manifested, 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 though they bled through the attacks of the orcs, they fell down the wall along with the enemy while shouting to God.

It was intense.

Tens of thousands of orcs pushed in, but thousands of soldiers did not allow entry.

if.

If only there was a gyro.

No, if Leo, the commander of the Royal Knights, hadn't followed Isabelle, he might have survived a little longer.

Graxxar climbed the ladder.

As soon as they climbed on top of the wall, they cut down the rushing soldiers at once, and the soldiers showed terrified expressions when they saw dozens of soldiers splattered with blood and fell.

It was an existence that could not be afforded even by blessings.

The terrifying life that Graxxar exudes made Luna's soldiers face the dreadful reality.

"Chwiik, Luna's history ends today."

Graxxar carried out the slaughter.

And then.

Quang!

The chains holding the gates were cut off.

Above the gates, where the chains were loosened, the orcs infested with black rushed in like waves.

finished.

High Priest Sebastian looked at him and closed his eyes tightly.

" Oh God.

that is.

It had happened just one day before Cayden arrived in Arcadia.

* * *

Tick, tick.

Luna's fortress burned down.

In the ruined land, only the screams of people resounded.

"Kyak!"

"Sir, please save me. live only once... Great!"

puck.

The club exploded on his head.

The man who prayed while holding the orc's crotch, his eyes widened, and fell with his face down on the ground.

blood flowed

Orc, Carlot frowned.

"Chwiik, you annoying bastards. We intend to keep you alive. So, don't kill yourself."

those who died during the war.

Their bodies had already been secured as food.

The corpses stored in the ice warehouse will serve as food for a long time, but Graxxar hoped to secure as many living creatures as possible.

There was no mercy for humans.

The end of the war would eventually end with the annihilation of different races, so I was planning to prepare for the future by raising humans like livestock.

Luna's Fortress.

It was a new storage warehouse.

Graxxar set out to attack other races, and as many as ten thousand orcs, including Kalot, took charge of Luna's fortress and cleaned up the situation.

Moving the corpses to the ice warehouse. The living were thrown into a designated place as a barn (畜舍).

And since Dmitry's reinforcements might come later, the castle gate was repaired and the exterior decorated as if 'Luna' was still alive.

It was a trap.

If a soldier holding a family hostage played the role, stupid humans were more likely to be deceived.

" Luna is finished."

one of the prisoners.

A man by the name of Smith said with a look of despair.

Gyro, who wanted to subdue the orcs, became subject to the same livestock as themselves, and Sebastian was dragged away by Graxxar after a fierce rebellion.

The life and death of the main characters were unknown.

Queen Isabel and the Royal Knights Commander Leo had lost contact for a long time, so they thought there was no hope for the Luna Kingdom.

sure.

I heard that Cayden had persuaded Roman Dmitry.

But it was late.

With only 30 people including Roman Dmitry, let alone dealing with Graxxar, the fortress of Luna, where Carlot is holding, will not be able to do anything.

Aren't ten thousand orcs guarding this place?

Smith shed tears with a bewildered look as he saw his friend fall to the floor and bleed.

That was then.

"Chwiik, Carlot! Humans have appeared!"

"Chwiik, Roman Dmitry. That's him!"

above the wall.

The orc who was watching reported the situation.

Carlot showed a fishy smile and grabbed the soldier he had previously assigned by the back and dragged him forward.

"Chwiik, human. You will be acting from now on. As if this place has not yet been captured by the enemies, make it as close to the wall as possible. If you do that. Chwiik, I will spare you and your family."

"Oh, I see."

Carlot took a step.

perhaps.

Through the magic barrier, the situation here may have been communicated through magic communication.

Whatever the situation, it didn't matter.

If they approached stupidly, they would attack and wipe them out from the top of the wall, and even if that wasn't the case, there was no way to break through Luna's fortress with 30 people and 10,000 troops.

I felt excited.

What kind of taste would be the humans of the Salamander Continent, Carlot could not hide his expectations as he headed to the wall.

from now on.

It was time to enjoy the winner's rights.
