329The Fall of Arcadia (4)
a battle took place.
In the confusing situation with the orcs, Gyro gritted his teeth..
‘If this continues, everyone will be annihilated..’
behind a cliff.
The only path was blocked by Graksar..
Since the Orcs were overwhelming both in individual strength and in numbers, the scene unfolding before my eyes was not hopeful..
Suddenly, Sebastian’s request came to mind. If the operation fails.
He said that if we somehow send the troops alive, we can revive the spark of a reversal when Roman Dmitry arrives in the Kingdom of Luna..
‘……I'm really sorry.’
I had late regrets.
Even though I knew that Mercury was the best, I couldn't ignore the screams of people dying outside the walls..
The silo is sacred ground..
Saying that they could not give away the land and food that had been blessed by Isabel, those who remained to protect the place rolled around on the ground, leaving behind only bone fragments..
The horror of that moment could not be expressed in words..
As he looked down at the flesh clinging to the bone fragments, Gyro vowed to seek revenge by any means necessary..
and.
failed.
Graksar was smarter than expected, and deliberately targeted the Yeti's territory and set a trap for Gyro..
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
created an aura.
He gripped the sword strongly, and the veins in his neck rose..
“I will open the way! When an order is given, run away without looking back.!”
there was no other way.
I had to open the way.
Gyro rushed in quickly..
It was easy for my feet to get stuck in the thick snow, but my feet, which spread mana, gained momentum by stepping lightly on the snow..
It was amazing mana control..
In a snow-covered space, each movement required delicacy, and Gyro's experience shined in the falling snow..
papad.
Crumbling rumbling.
The aura exploded..
As the orcs rushed forward with their ferocious teeth, the white aura cut into their bodies..
flash.
“Wow!!”
A terrible scream burst out..
Gyro cut off the chest of the first Orc that attacked, then immediately blew off his head so that he could no longer scream..
And then he took quick steps.
Seeing the sight of the orcs rushing towards me as if they wanted to avenge their comrades, I stepped lightly on the snow and momentarily exploited their loopholes..
Suddenly.
puck.
Cut off my arm, broke my heart.
The extreme cold made the aura seem to freeze, but the sharpness of the aura was amplified by the appropriate warmth..
A blade of slightly frozen aura. The cut surface that touched it quickly froze..
“Come, you pigs!.”
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
gyro.
A five-star aura swordsman representing the Luna Kingdom..
He had an overwhelming presence.
The snowy environment had no effect on him, and he slaughtered his enemies, staining the snow with blood..
It was a look worthy of his reputation as a swordsman of snowy fields..
Luna's soldiers gained strength as they ran wild, scattering white aura..
I thought it wasn't over yet. If you trust and follow Gyro, he definitely has a chance to survive..
It was then.
I saw Graksar..
Gyro exploded with power and shouted at the soldiers..
“Now! run away!”
I wanted to take my time.
Even if he died on the spot, Gyro's top priority was to save as many soldiers as possible..
Crumbling rumbling.
rushed in.
Seeing Graksar holding on to the road, I gritted my teeth and held my sword tightly..
The aura rising from him created light..
It reflected off the snow on the ground, blocking Graksar's vision..
It was one of the techniques that led to it being called the Snow Field Swordsman, and the anomalous technique created a single opportunity..
however.
“Chwiik, you're doing a stupid trick..”
Moment.
Gyro saw.
While facing the light directly, you can see Graksar's fierce eyes looking straight at you..
and above that.
The ax filled with aura soared high into the sky..
The aura that exploded from him was clearly a 6-star aura that Gyro could not handle..
‘……no way.’
It was certain.
few years ago.
Graksar hid his power during his confrontation with Gyro..
As the ax hit like a thunderbolt, Gyro swung his sword with all his might..
That is.
Kwaang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.!
Kwarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
It was the last moment Gyro remembered..
* * *
How much did I lose my mind?.
When he opened his eyes, what Gyro could see was a dark cave..
It wasn't completely dark.
Moonlight came in through a small hole in the ceiling, allowing us to vaguely see what was going on inside..
“Black, black.”
“we are all done.”
I saw people.
They were the seventh and eighth cellars..
At first, they believed that the Kingdom of Luna would save them, but they fell into despair when they saw Gyro brought in in miserable condition..
Gyro is a swordsman representing the Kingdom of Luna..
The fact that he was taken into the hands of the orcs did not simply mean the defeat of one person, but the complete defeat of the Kingdom of Luna by the orcs..
Despair is contagious.
People cried as if they could barely breathe, trying hard to ignore the harsh reality..
It was then.
Squeak.
The prison door was opened..
They were orcs.
People were startled and avoided their gaze, and Gyro wanted to attack the orcs, but he seemed to have injured his leg and couldn't move easily..
The orcs looked at the humans with strange faces..
One of them was a high-ranking orc who followed Graksar, and from what Gyro remembered, it was definitely an orc named 'Kalot'..
Calotte laughed bitterly..
He strode forward and grabbed a man by the hair..
Shut up.
“Ahh!”
“Chwiik, I like this guy this time. The ones that are plump and plump must be more delicious to eat than the others..”
The man struggled.
He tried to escape by pulling at the hand that was holding his head, but Calotte dragged the man with his vicious hands..
The man's face was covered in tears and snot. When he made eye contact with Gyro, he shouted in a desperate voice..
“Please. Please save me, Jairo.!”
Then I realized.
Calotte is.
They wanted to use the man as food..
Gyro was so angry at the moment that he crawled on the ground and screamed..
“You bastards! Rather take me with you! Let that person go and eat me.!”
I was overcome by evil.
I felt guilty.
If only I were strong.
Could have saved these people.
However, reckless judgment led people into an abyss, and even they themselves were reduced to human food..
Gyro didn't care about his own life..
Rather, the guilt felt like it was burning his heart, and he thought it would be better for him to die instead of seeing people being dragged away as food right in front of his eyes..
Calotte stopped walking..
He looked down at Gyro and grinned..
“Chwiik, do you know why we didn’t kill you? To maintain the freshness of meat, it is better to keep it alive rather than kill it and then store it. Chwiik, so don’t fight to die first. Because one day, the day will come when I will cut off every piece of your flesh while you are still alive..”
And then.
Squeak.
thud.
closed the cage.
As the screams grew further and further away, Gyro lowered his head..
finished.
Due to his own foolish mistake, even the spark of reversal in the Kingdom of Luna was completely extinguished..
* * *
a few days after that.
Kayden, who was quickly moving to the teleportation point, received a call from the Luna Kingdom..
[Kayden. The situation here is not good now..
While Gyro was attempting a surprise operation with his troops, he fell into an enemy trap and lost all of his troops..
Currently, the fate of Gyro is not confirmed..
The orcs of Graksar are advancing straight towards 'Fortress of Luna', and if this continues they will be attacked before you even arrive..]
Stand tall.
stopped walking.
Kayden showed a nervous reaction with a pale, tired face..
“why! I told you not to fight!”
I was angry.
It's only 2 weeks.
If he waited a little longer, he would arrive with his troops, but Gyro couldn't wait that long and made a mistake..
I understood.
30The number of people would not have given him confidence, and linking up with the Yeti was one of the few opportunities to turn the situation around..
But in this world, results matter.
From that day on, it was unclear whether Gyro was alive or dead, and Kayden felt extremely dizzy at the fact that most of his troops were dead or captured..
water spilled.
Now, I needed a way to solve the problem..
‘Luna's communication must have been sent a few days ago, so we must get to the Luna Kingdom as soon as possible..’
long distance.
Luna's unique environment.
As a result, communication was not normal..
If coordinate settings such as a 'warp gate' were connected, the connection between the two continents would be smooth, but that was not possible at the moment..
Luna's situation could not be checked in real time..
Therefore, Kayden left a message in an earnest voice..
“Hold on somehow. I'll go as fast as possible.”
Tuk.
left a message.
I really don't have time anymore.
He went straight to Roman Dmitry..
To speed things up, I needed his help..
* * *
The original plan was 1 week..
The time was calculated considering the interval between teleportation points, and with Roman Dmitry's help, Kayden was able to reach Arcadia in just 5 days..
The bitter cold hit Kayden..
The cold that penetrated deep into my bones and the snowstorm that obstructed my vision told me that this was the world of Arcadia..
caden said.
“Roman Dmitry. I have a favor to ask you. How about training Luna's ways here for just one day and then moving on??”
It was an unexpected request..
When asked why, he gave his honest thoughts..
“As I said last time, the Luna Kingdom is currently in a very critical situation. It is true that you need to reach the Luna Kingdom's fortress as quickly as possible, but the problem is that the environment of Arcadia will definitely present tremendous difficulties during battle. Heavy snow will tie your feet so that you cannot move freely, and if you raise your aura without thinking, it may break in the freezing situation. Moreover, the beings we will be dealing with are the Orcs who have survived in the cold of Arcadia..”
I felt sick.
I wanted to move right away..
However, in order to save Luna, I couldn't force Dmitry, who couldn't adapt to the extreme cold, to his death..
So I persuaded.
The original plan, if I had enough time, was to scare it with the cold and teach it the skills taught by Luna for about 3-4 days..
But there was no time for that now..
If you teach at least one day and go out on the road, at least you won't look embarrassed when you encounter orcs..
however.
Roman Dmitry had an unexpected reaction.
“Kayden. I should have said it before. We'll take care of the cold in Arcadia. Make your steps faster. If Luna's fortress falls, then the situation cannot be reversed..”
“but…….”
“Keep in mind. We only help, the choice is mine.”
Kayden bit his lip..
why.
Are you saying you don't accept it even though you are worried about Dmitri's safety?.
Something happened.
If Roman Dmitry had not yet felt the horror of Arcadia, it was necessary to show him the reality now..
“All right. From here it takes about a day to reach Luna's Fortress. To shorten that time, I plan to move at full speed from now on. If you're having a hard time, call my name anytime..”
white flying squirrel.
How did that nickname come about?.
At least on snow, there was no one who could keep up with Kayden's speed..
For that reason.
Kayden was chosen as a messenger..
Confident in his ability to move quickly, he crossed the endless mountain range and met Roman Dmitry..
‘If you run on snow, you will realize reality. What does it mean to run through heavy snow? If you accept reality too late, you can teach Luna's method and move on..’
It was a matter of survival.
I couldn't take Dmitri, who knew nothing, away like this..
Kayden walked ahead..
“Please follow along. I will guide you.”
Whining.
a strong snowstorm.
yet.
Dmitri's troops, including Kayden, disappeared into the blizzard..
