Episode 329: The Collapse of Arcadia (4)
A battle broke out.
Gyro gritted his teeth as he faced a confusing situation with the orcs.
‘If this continues, everyone will be annihilated.’
Behind is 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 their eyes was not hopeful.
Suddenly, Sebastian’s request came to mind. If the operation fails.
He said that by somehow sending the troops alive, he could revive the spark of a reversal when Roman Dmitri arrives in the Kingdom of Luna.
‘… … I’m really sorry.’
Belated regret arose.
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.
It created an aura.
He gripped the sword tightly, and the blood in his neck rose.
“I will open the way! “When I give you an order, run away without looking back!”
There was no other way.
The road had to be opened.
Gyro rushed over 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 space covered with snow, every movement required delicacy, and Gyro’s experience shined in the falling snow.
Papat.
Crumbling.
The aura exploded.
As the orcs rushed forward with their ferocious teeth, the white aura cut into their bodies.
Flash.
“Kaaaaak!”
A terrible scream broke out.
Gyro cut off the chest of the first Orc who attacked, then immediately blew off his head so that he could no longer scream.
And then he took quick steps.
Seeing the orcs rushing towards him as if they wanted to avenge their comrades, he stepped lightly on the snow and momentarily exploited their loopholes.
Suddenly.
puck.
I cut off my arm and shattered my heart.
The extreme cold seemed to freeze the aura, 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.
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 the snowy field.
Luna’s soldiers gained strength at the sight of them running wild, scattering white aura.
I thought it wasn’t over yet. If he trusted and followed Gyro, he definitely had a chance to survive.
It was then.
Graksar was seen.
Gyro exploded with power and shouted at the soldiers.
“Now! Run away!”
The intention was to take time.
Even if he died on the spot, Gyro’s top priority was to save as many soldiers as possible.
Crumbling.
I 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 called the Snowfield Swordsman, and the anomalous technique created one opportunity.

“Chwiik, you’re pulling a foolish trick.”
Moment.
Gyro looked.
Graksar’s eyes, looking directly at him with fierce eyes, while facing the light directly.
And on top of 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.
Quang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
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 crack in the ceiling, allowing us to vaguely check the situation inside.
“Black, dark.”
“We’re 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 meant not simply the defeat of one person, but the complete defeat of the Kingdom of Luna by the Orcs.
Despair was contagious.
People cried as if they could barely breathe, trying hard to ignore the harsh reality.
It was then.
Squeak.
The prison door 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 could not move easily.
The orcs looked at the humans with strange faces.
One of them was a senior orc who followed Graksar, and from what Gyro remembered, it was clearly an orc named ‘Kalot’.
Calott laughed bitterly.
He strode forward and grabbed a man by the hair.
Sigh.
“Ahh!”
“Chwiik, I’d like this guy this time. “The ones that are plump and plump are probably more delicious to eat than the other guys.”
The man struggled.
He tried to escape by tearing off the hand that was clutching 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. “Please save me, Gyro!”
Then I realized.
Calotte.
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 him go and eat me!”
supported by evil
I felt guilty.
If only I were strong.
These people could have been saved.
However, reckless decisions led people into an abyss, and even they themselves were reduced to human food.
Gyro didn’t care about his own life.
In fact, 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 before 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.
The iron cage was closed.
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 Luna Kingdom 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 right now.
While Gyro was attempting a surprise operation with his troops, he fell into an enemy trap and lost all of his troops.
Currently, Gyro’s fate is not confirmed.
Graksar’s orcs are advancing straight to ‘Luna’s Fortress’, and if this continues, they will be attacked before you arrive.]
Stand tall.
I 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 two weeks.
If he waited just a little longer, he would arrive with his troops, but Gyro couldn’t wait that long and made a mistake.
I understood.
The number of 30 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 are important.
From that day on, it was unclear whether Gyro was alive or dead, and Kayden felt extremely dizzy at the fact that most of the troops were dead or captured.
The 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.’
A 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 this was not possible at the moment.
Luna’s situation could not be checked in real time.
Therefore, Kayden left a message in a desperate voice.
“Hold on somehow. “I will go as fast as possible.”
Tuk.
I left a message.
There really was no time now.
He went straight to Roman Dmitry.
To speed things up, I needed his help.
* * *
The original plan was 1 week.
The time calculation took into account the interval between teleportation points, and with Roman Dmitry’s help, Kayden was able to arrive in Arcadia in just 5 days.
A bitter cold hit Kayden.
The cold that penetrated deep into my bones due to the snowstorm that obstructed my vision told me that this was the world of Arcadia.
Kayden said.
“Roman Dmitry. I have a favor to ask you. “How about we spend just one day here, train Luna’s ways, and then move on?”
It was an unexpected request.
When asked why, he revealed his honest thoughts.
“As I said last time, the Kingdom of Luna is currently in a very critical situation. It is true that you must 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 people we will be dealing with are the Orcs who have survived the cold of Arcadia.”
I felt sick.
In my heart, I wanted to move right away.
However, in order to save Luna, I couldn’t force Dmitri, who was not accustomed to the extreme cold, to his death.
So I persuaded him.
The original plan, if there was enough time, was to scare them with the cold and teach them the skills taught by Luna for about 3 to 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 in the snow when you encounter orcs.
however.
Roman Dmitry showed 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, the situation cannot be reversed.”
“but… … .”
“Keep in mind. “We only help, but 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?
An error occurred.
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 are having a hard time, please call my name at any time.”
White flying squirrel.
How did that nickname come about?
At least on the snow, there was no one who could keep up with Kayden’s speed.
For that reason.
Kayden was chosen as a messenger.
Because he was 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 way 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.”
Whiing.
A strong snowstorm.
yet.
Dmitri’s troops, including Kayden, disappeared into the blizzard.
