328The Fall of Arcadia (3)
Luna Kingdom.
There were three prosecutors representing Luna there..
Leo, Commander of the Royal Knights.
Jairo, the swordsman of the snowy plains.
Kayden the White Flying Squirrel.
In terms of skill, Kayden was much less skilled than the previous two, but he was still not an easy person as he was called Luna's representative swordsman..
4Holy Aura Test.
The swordsmanship of moving quickly across the snow and chasing down the enemy was worthy of being called a skilled swordsman, at least in Arcadia..
however.
Kayden felt strange..
On the day of departure.
29 soldiers leaving for the Luna Kingdom appeared, and their appearance stimulated Kayden..
‘……They all look strong?’
Kayden has lived in Arcadia his entire life..
I only crossed endless mountain ranges for the Kingdom of Luna, but I didn't actually know Dmitri that well..
Chris and Kevin.
I knew about two..
This is because they showed great performance in the war against the Kronos Empire, but apart from these two, there was no one who looked easy..
The first person that caught my eye was Fred..
He was clearly an ordinary soldier, but he wasn't confident that he could defeat Fred right away with just his momentum..
Next to him was Logan..
When faced with a strong physique and sharp eyes, Logan also felt like he couldn't win with his own skills..
and.
I saw Ares.
In a situation that gave him goosebumps for a moment, Kayden swallowed dry saliva..
‘There is such a strong person in Dmitry..’
It was absurd.
He is one of the top three swordsmen in the Luna Kingdom after Leo and Gyro, but he has already calculated that he cannot defeat five people, even excluding Roman Dmitri..
That's not all. The other soldiers didn't look like regular soldiers either..
To put it bluntly, if they had belonged to the Kingdom of Luna, people who would have been members of the royal knights existed before Kayden's eyes as ordinary soldiers..
It was shocking.
If you have this level of skill.
30I was confident that at least 100 people would be of help..
Above all, when Roman Dmitri appeared, Kayden felt a powerful feeling that could not be described in words..
Cheokcheok-
the soldiers lined up.
Even Ares, who was thought to be overwhelming, and even Kevin, who was called Dmitry's evil spirit, showed their interest in Roman Dmitri's appearance..
The soldiers' presence was drowned out by Roman Dmitry..
Faced with Roman Dmitry's powerful presence, I felt like I knew why Isabelle had told me to go see him..
really maybe.
I thought that asking Dmitri for help might be the choice to save the Kingdom of Luna..
“I'll show you the way.”
Kayden shows courtesy.
Even though no one told him to, Kayden felt like he had to do it..
* * *
A week ago.
The situation in the Kingdom of Luna was miserable..
Sebastian, Isabel's representative and Luna's high priest, relayed the situation reported by Kayden..
“Dmitry decided to send 30 people, including Roman Dmitry, to help the Kingdom of Luna..”
“……Are there only 30 people??”
“okay. But Dmitry also took a risk. Dmitry has been fighting one war after another, and recently there are signs of a civil war in the Valhalla Empire. In a situation where he could not have helped us, Roman Dmitry decided to take action himself, accepting some conditions. Dmitry will arrive two weeks from now. Until then, focus on Mercury as much as possible..”
In those words.
Sighs came out here and there..
The day Kayden left.
The people of Luna Kingdom prayed earnestly..
If God had not abandoned Luna, I hoped that Roman Dmitry would appear like a hero and save the Luna Kingdom..
But there are 30 people. He couldn't help but be disappointed..
Sebastian emphasized that it was a great thing that Roman Dmitry himself made the move, but the people who accepted it could not think that way..
recent.
Terrible news came from all over the place..
Tens of thousands of Orcs, led by Graksar, massacred the different races of Arcadia, and the traces of people who were reduced to food sent the Kingdom of Luna into fear..
It wasn't just a matter of death.
In a situation where they could be raised like livestock if they were defeated by the Orcs, the Kingdom of Luna hoped that Kayden would deliver good news..
Because my expectations were high.
The feeling of despair was bound to be great..
In fact, the people of the Kingdom of Luna realized that just hoping for help from Roman Dmitri, with whom they had no interaction, was too greedy..
But I couldn't make a rational decision in a situation where I was pushed to the edge of a cliff..
I understand that Dmitry cannot take the risk, but 30 people do not soothe his despair..
It was then.
“High Priest. 30 people cannot turn the tide against tens of thousands of Orcs. If it is a situation where we cannot trust and wait for Roman Dmitri, the Kingdom of Luna must make a decision to respond..”
Snowfield Swordsman.
It was a gyro.
Gyro looked at the leaders with sharp eyes and spoke in an unwavering voice..
“If Queen Isabelle says so, Roman Dmitry will be a great swordsman. It's not that I doubt his skills, but I can't trust Roman Dmitry with the future of the Kingdom of Luna. Luna is a country with a long history. Although Luna did not often go to war in the Land of Harmony, as the only human nation in Arcadia, we always lived and protected Luna's territory..”
“But gyro. This is a realistic problem. There is no way to defeat tens of thousands of orcs with Luna alone..”
Sebastian reacted with concern..
Luna Kingdom.
In fact, it was a fairly small country compared to the Salamander Continent..
Luna was a country where the birth rate was not high due to the bitter cold and the population was not large compared to the Kingdom of Cairo..
Moreover, war was not common in Luna's history..
Naturally, there were only a small number of people who received military training, and the chances of defeating the Orcs, who were born with warrior blood, were slim..
but.
Gyro thought differently..
“I admit it. Luna's power will never be able to defeat Graksar's Orc troops. I am not saying that we should end the war with Luna alone. Roman Dmitry arrives in two weeks. Until then, rather than watching in vain and having Luna's storage units taken away one by one, I think we need to create the perfect plan to annihilate the enemy when Roman Dmitry arrives. I will stand at the forefront. If we take control of the situation with the power of Luna, we can defeat the hordes of evil..”
“That's right!”
“Let’s defeat the orcs with the power of Luna.!”
people agreed.
Due to the intense desire that Gyro showed, they thought that they could not just watch like this..
beyond the castle walls.
people were dying.
The anger had already reached its limit, and special measures were needed if Roman Dmitry could not be trusted..
“……Phew.”
Sebastian took a deep breath..
If the high priest's name could not quell the boiling atmosphere, he had to choose the best option..
“okay. How do you plan on dealing with the orcs??”
* * *
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
unfolded the map.
Gyro pointed to the seventh warehouse that had been taken over by the orcs..
“Currently, the orcs of Graksar are here. Looking at the pattern so far, it is highly likely that they will leave for their next target within the next few days. So where do you think your next goal will be??”
“……Probably the sixth cellar.”
storage.
It meant the land blessed by Isabel..
Isabel completely protected some of the land from the cold, and the people of the Kingdom of Luna planted crops in the land they called storage..
There were a total of eight storage units owned by the Luna Kingdom..
The orcs of Graksar had captured two of them, and were now likely to target other storage units..
Gyro shook his head..
“no. Since Graksar is a very aggressive being, it is certain that it will first attack those that come across its path. What Graksar wants is to turn all races except orcs into food. Then they inevitably have no choice but to set foot in the territory of the Yeti..”
snowman.
It was one of two races.
3With a gigantic height exceeding 100 m, a furry appearance, and strong physical strength, they were a race that excelled in combat, including Orcs..
Instead, their numbers were quite small..
With at most a few hundred Yetis, the moment they are attacked by the Orcs, they will be annihilated without even being able to resist..
Gyro pointed to a place..
On the road to the Yeti's territory, there was limited space due to cliffs on both sides..
“Right here. The orcs will pass by here. Since we have never attacked first, Graksar is likely to move his troops complacently. In that case, if he contacts the Yeti in advance and sets up an ambush here, he can definitely inflict a significant blow. Yetis block the narrow space. If we wait from above and trigger an avalanche, the orcs will have no way to avoid it. Of course, this doesn't mean that you can completely deal with the orcs. But rather than spending two weeks meaninglessly, you can definitely get meaningful results..”
Everyone nodded..
Gyro is a swordsman in the snowy fields..
Since he knew better than anyone else how to fight on snow, his words were quite persuasive..
at last.
After thinking for a while, Sebastian followed the trend..
“……i get it. But keep in mind. If the operation fails. Run away without looking back. If a significant number of troops are lost in this operation, the situation will be irreversible even with Roman Dmitry's help..”
“I'll keep that in mind.”
Gyro stood up..
The men who follow him.
Sebastian looked at me with worried eyes..
Today, he misses Isabel's presence so much..
* * *
It was as planned.
Gyro, watching the situation from the cliff, noticed the orcs advancing from afar..
‘Graksar. This will be your grave.’
few years ago.
Gyro had the experience of meeting Graksar..
It was a fight representing each race, and Gyro, who mixed weapons that day, had positive feelings toward Graksar..
In a peaceful world, beings like yourself who pursue nothingness were not common..
That's why I had a good opinion of Graksar, but this war completely changed my opinion..
It was disgusting.
Graksar laughed and chatted with other races, thinking of them as beings who could be used as 'food' at any time..
The goal of this operation was not simply to cause damage..
The plan was to cause an avalanche to confuse the orcs, and then, if possible, kill Graksar himself..
If successful.
The spark of a reversal can be revived.
The current orcs were not that powerful without the focal point of Graksar..
Finally.
The orcs have arrived.
As they entered the path inside the cliff, the yetis buried in the snow rose up as if they had been waiting..
“Wow!!”
“Chwiik, enemy!”
“Chwiik, yetis appeared.”
Kwasik.
The yeti swung his huge hand.
The body of the orc that was moving first exploded at once, and the yeti let out a roar filled with murderous intent..
It was the moment the battle began.
The yeti, whose entire body was a weapon, swung its arms and tore the orc's body to pieces, and the orcs rushed at the same time, stepping on the corpses of their comrades and flying up to plunge their weapons into the yeti's body..
puck.
blood splattered.
The yeti screamed in pain, but its red, bloodshot eyes focused on the orc hanging on its body rather than its wounds..
Kwasik.
It was a cruel sight.
At the sight of the piled up snow turning blood-stained in an instant, Gyro, disguised in white clothes, calmly waited for his moment..
it wasn't enough yet.
Yetis can survive an avalanche with their unique abilities, but orcs will be buried and die in the snow..
So I had to take a long time.
So that the enemy can go deeper, so that large numbers can be swept away by the avalanche..
however.
Gyro's expression became increasingly hard as he surveyed the situation..
something was strange.
Graksar was always at the forefront of the enemies, but no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't see his presence..
‘no way.’
Moment.
Goosebumps appeared on my body..
I had an ominous thought.
As he hurriedly tried to get up, a terrible scream pierced his ears..
“Wow.”
“evil!”
“I am the enemy! The enemy has appeared!”
In front of you.
An unbelievable sight unfolded.
Led by Graksar, numerous orcs appeared through the path leading up to the cliff..
“Chwiik, as expected, you’re being naughty..”
Then I realized.
What fell into the trap.
It wasn't Graksar, it was Gyro himself..
