30 Reinforcements (6)

in a dark cave.

Gyro looked up at the ceiling with a tired face.

Through a small gap, the sky was as dark as here.

a few days ago.

He heard shocking news from the orcs who stood guard.

"Chwiik, the great Graxxar has destroyed Luna's fortress. Now that there are no people to help you, you better think about how to survive as a slave. Chwiik, especially you. If you keep looking at me like that, I will eat your eyes alive."

The orc pointed to the gyro.

They say that they destroyed Luna's fortress.

It was shocking.

Graxxar had not long since left with his troops, and I did not expect to hear such news already.

From then on, Gyro began to completely collapse mentally. Luna's downfall could be said to be her own responsibility.

If the strategy had not been planned outside the fortress, and had waited for Roman Dmitry to arrive, the fortress would not have collapsed so quickly.

' Gyro. You pushed Luna to the brink of destruction.'

I was out of breath.

people who are often dragged away.

screams from afar.

At first, he tried to endure the situation with dignity, but from a certain point on, everything around him seemed to be rebuking him.

Some of the people trapped in the cave were soldiers.

They only followed the commander's orders, but the commander was dumbfounded and left to be stored as food.

Forget hunger.

The face went thin.

At that time, even though he was alive, he did not show the face of the living, and the orc threw something in front of him as if mockingly.

tuk.

"Chwiik, if you want to live, eat that. squeaky."

It was a weird laugh.

The orc, who burst into laughter with his nose lifted, closed the cage and disappeared in the distance.

People's attention was focused.

on the floor.

There were chunks of meat.

It was something that people starved for a few days would rush at them with saliva, but their faces were all dyed with fear.

I had no choice but to do so. It was a chunk of meat presumed to be human.

It was cut off near the arm and thrown as food, and people could not even touch it, no matter how close they were to death.

It was embarrassing.

Everyone's faces were horribly distorted by the anger rising from within.

By the way.

Gyro approached the chunk of meat.

People looked surprised.

Contrary to the idea that he might be giving up on being human, the Gyro caught a chunk of meat and dissected it.

I didn't mean to eat it.

When all the dripping blood was dissected, the bones that supported it were revealed.

He hid a chunk of meat in a corner and secretly took a large bone.

"Everyone, be quiet. Even if I die, I plan to take some of them with me."

dull voice.

His voice was low because he couldn't eat.

The Gyro moved into a corner and began to scrape the bone on the floor carefully behind his back to prevent the sound from leaking out.

Bump, Bump. There was a sound that was small enough to irritate my nerves.

Gyro moved his hands incessantly so that the tip of the bone became sharp, strong enough to pierce through the tough skin of the orc.

Snowfield inspection.

his life is over

The last thing I had to do was die like a human as a human being.

Bump.

Bump, Bump.

I had a lot of thoughts.

if.

Really, if Roman Dmitry had waited, could the situation have been reversed?

'It would have been impossible.'

Only 30 people.

Again, it was not enough power to discuss victory, and Roman Dmitry proved with the size of the reinforcements that he did not care about the safety of the Luna Kingdom.

That's just the bare minimum.

He could not openly ignore Luna's difficulties, so when he won the war, he sent enough troops to show his condolences.

understood.

There was no reason for Dmitry to sacrifice for Luna, who had no interaction with Luna.

'Is it because there was no hope in the first place?'

Isabel's disappearance.

The reason was unknown.

What is certain is that she struggled to thwart Kronos' plan, which resulted in Luna's destruction.

resentment arose. Isabelle is the queen of Luna.

No matter how many gods she worshiped, what was important to her was not the safety of mankind, but the people of Luna.

kayden says

Roman Dmitry said that Dmitry's safety came first.

I was envious.

Maybe Gyro wanted a monarch like Roman Dmitry to lead the Luna Kingdom.

'Luna is not a country that worships God because there are options. There was a cold that humans could not bear, and a saint was born, so there was no way for us to live without believing in God. Oh God. Is this really what you want? Luna has served you more sincerely than anyone else, but why do we have to suffer like this while sacrificing for the Salamander Continent?'

My stomach was boiling.

Sacrifice is a religiously important element.

Even though he knew that, he needed someone to rebuke and criticize for nothing, without ignoring Isabelle's sincerity.

was human

weak and insignificant.

In the depths of despair, Gyro realized how contradictory a harmonious world was.

'If Isabel-sama had not gone missing, the peace in Arcadia would one day be destroyed.'

hand stopped.

The bones were sharply shredded.

A few orcs were enough to handle.

breathed slowly.

waited for the time

Explode the last remaining power to subdue the orcs entering at once, and if possible, let the few people trapped inside live.

Gyro risked his life.

His face, hidden in the darkness, was like a demon, and his glowing red eyes lowered his head to hide his murderous intent.

Finally.

quiver.

The door opened.

My heart was pounding.

widely.

step inside.

The moment the gyro was about to rush forward with a burst of mana, an unexpected scene unfolded before his eyes.

" K, Kayden?!"

"Gyro!"

I opened my eyes.

presence in front of you.

Not the orcs who persecuted humans, but the blood-stained Cayden was there.

* * *

The feeling I had at first.

It was embarrassing.

The orcs clearly said that Luna's fortress had fallen, but how did Cayden appear here?

Luna's soldiers cleared the surroundings.

Behind them, the corpses of orcs scattered on the floor were seen.

"Gyro. The war is not over yet."

" What are you talking about?

I saw Kayden.

He brought water first, but the gyro showed his gaze to tell the truth without drinking it.

"While I crossed the endless mountain range. Luna's fortress has been captured by the orcs. I thought Luna's future was over at that time, but Roman Dmitry-sama had a different idea. He told me how to get Luna back with only 30 men. It was an impossible operation. While executing the operation, I thought that this was bound to fail."

dripping, dripping.

blood dripped

How many orcs had been slaughtered, Cayden's face was drenched in blood.

"The result is as you have confirmed now. We recaptured Luna's fortress and slaughtered ten thousand orcs.

I was astonished.

30 people.

In a nutshell, it is not a number that will determine the victory or defeat of a war.

No matter how unfamiliar with war, he came from Arcadia, but he taught me common sense in the Warfare Book I had read until worn out.

How absurd Cayden's words are. So there was awe.

Roman Dmitry didn't think about Luna's well-being, but thought that 30 people would really help.

Moment.

I was speechless.

Although she was happy that Luna was not over, she clenched her fists strongly in a bitter emotion.

'After all, I was the problem.'

Roman Dmitry.

He was the savior.

If I had waited for a few days, things would have changed completely, but Gyro did not know the truth and pushed Luna into the depths of despair.

It was a harsh reality.

What he wished for was peace in the Luna Kingdom, but as a result, dragging the troops out with his strong insistence was a fatal defeat.

I wanted to die.

I wanted to be freed from guilt by biting my tongue.

However.

That was a cowardly act.

Gyro wanted to put an end to the responsibility of defeat by dying fighting the orcs on the battlefield.

"He, where is he?"

expression has changed.

From Roman Dmitry.

he became

Cayden took the gyro and told him why he had to hurry from now on.

"Roman Dmitry left for an all-out war against Graxxar. So, calm down. Before the battle is over, we must quickly get up and help Roman Dmitry-sama."

around that time.

The situation for the elves was not good.

The elves' realm had already been taken over by the orcs who pushed in with their numbers ahead of them.

"Attack!"

"Stop the enemies from entering!"

Pot Pot Pot-

The arrow was fired.

On a bare tree whose shape was maintained only by the energy of the World Tree, the elves fired arrows while moving with swift movements.

puck.

"Queek."

"Chwiik, don't back down!"

The orc hit by the arrow fell to the floor.

The number of orcs who had already died that way were not small, but the orcs rushed in as if the death of their kin was nothing.

A space that was once called the forest of elves.

The number of elves guarding the World Tree here was about ten thousand.

Even if an elf fired an arrow and killed three or four orcs, the orcs following Graxxar boasted more than twice that number.

Inui Tactics.

It was a battle with an expected ending.

Graxxar blocked the elf warrior's head and blown it away at once.

Kwajik.

"Chwiik, you naive bastard."

blood splashed

Graxxar's entire body was stained with blood.

the fight in the past.

He was always at the forefront and defeated the strongest enemies himself.

Graxxar was special.

From the moment he held the weapon in his hand, he naturally realized mana, and the orc warriors who looked down on him were defeated by Graxxar and acknowledged that he was the strongest.

Best Orc Road of all time.

Whether by force or intelligence, those who promoted him as an Orc Lord had no choice but to acknowledge Graxxar's talent.

And.

From the moment he seized power, Graxxar dreamed of conquering Arcadia.

The stupid people didn't know the truth.

Even if Isabel hadn't gone missing, the fact that one day Arcadia would be tainted by war because of her.

"Chwiik, march! Do not back down!"

Quiet rumble.

The aura exploded.

He gave strength to the Orcs with his tribe's unique assimilation ability, and threw a huge ax with all his might.

With a loud crack, every tree caught by the ax broke.

The elves that were going back and forth from the tree fell as they were, and three or four orcs per elf rushed and mutilated their bodies.

A scream was heard.

The end was coming.

If even the elves collapsed, there was no one in Arcadia who could stand up to the orcs.

That was then.

"Great!"

"Aww!"

from the rear.

A strange sound was heard.

Graxxar stopped walking.

It was a sound not to be heard.

It's a situation that put the elves in a corner, who the hell is attacking the orcs from behind?

"Chwiik, this is a surprise attack! Humans are attacking from behind!"

"Chwiik, are you human?"

An orc's report.

Graxxar's gaze turned to the rear.

Moment.

It felt terrifying.

The Luna Kingdom was already destroyed.

They were the only human-made countries in Arcadia, and there were no humans other than them.

Then there was only one meaning of this situation.

The existence that Luna's soldiers mentioned after the interrogation.

It was said that they had crossed an endless mountain range, a force of about 30 people led by a human that I had never heard of before.

Finally.

I could see the scenery behind me.

Seeing Luna's flag fluttering, Graxxar's expression hardened.

'surely.'

It was certain.

The fact that Luna's soldiers are still alive.

It meant that ten thousand soldiers of Carlot had suffered.

In other words, the human over the endless mountain range, whose name is unknown, overturned the ten thousand difference.

This.

It was a variable that did not exist in Graxxar's plan.
