Episode 327: The Collapse of Arcadia (2)
One year after Baek Jung-hyuk ascended to the position of Heavenly Demon.
A problem occurred.
One of the brothers who had run away like a coward during the bone-and-neck competition has emerged by rallying together with the remnants of the former power.
They entrusted themselves to the North Sea Ice Palace.
This was possible because the mother of the being who was Baek Jung-hyuk’s half-brother was from the North Sea Ice Palace.
“As long as I, Baek Jin-myeong, are alive, Baek Jung-hyuk cannot yet be said to be the perfect leader of the Demonic Cult.”
In the land of the North Sea.
They raised their voices.
Their goal was not to immediately defeat Baek Jung-hyuk.
Baek Jung-hyuk showed overwhelming force in the process of ascending to the position of Heavenly Demon, and even with the help of the Bukhae Ice Palace, it was impossible to regain that position.
However, by emphasizing the fact that he was of Cheonma’s blood, he was able to gain a piece of power.
They hoped to return to Magyo through an appropriate compromise, and even Baek Jung-hyuk thought it was impossible to touch them, who were hiding in the land of the North Sea.
North Sea.
It was a forbidden area.
The history of martial arts passed down from generation to generation has warned people never to set foot on the land of the Beihai.
just as expected.
Just as the leaders of Dmitry raised their voices against each other, the leaders of the Demonic Cult were also divided into two and a conflict of opinion arose.
“We must kill Baek Jin-myeong. “We can’t just watch them shake the foundations of the Demonic Cult.”
“Who doesn’t know that? Even though Baek Jin-myeong knew that she would be in danger, she deliberately showed herself. That’s because I believe in the North Sea. No matter how powerful the Demonic Cult is, it is impossible for it to enter the land of Beihai and kill Bai Jinming.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s impossible or not. “This must be dealt with, no matter the cost!”
“If you are attacked by your enemies, then there is no turning back!”
There was an uproar.
Both statements made sense.
Baek Jin-myeong’s presence shook the very foundation of the Demonic Cult, but the land of the North Sea, with its bitter cold and knee-deep snow, was not a place to be carelessly set foot in.
The North Sea has never fallen to the enemy.
The people of the North Sea Ice Palace knew how to take advantage of the environment of the North Sea, and the moment the enemy set foot in the North Sea, they would not fight head-on, but would gradually wear down the opponent’s stamina by attacking and running away.
When you’re cold, hungry, and low on stamina.
I aimed for that time.
The North Sea martial arts, which are specialized in the North Sea environment, won overwhelmingly in the North Sea no matter what enemy they faced.
This was the reason Baek Jin-myeong appeared.
I knew that if I hid in the North Sea, even Baek Jung-hyuk would not be able to cross the line.
Really what if.
If Baek Jung-hyuk made an extreme choice, it might have been a golden opportunity to regain his place as the Heavenly Demon.
that day.
Baek Jung-hyuk said.
“There are no exceptions in my demonic religion.”
raised troops.
Baek Jung-hyuk knew that if he made an exception because of the harsh environment of the North Sea, a crack would appear in his position.
All preparations have been completed. He set foot on the land of the North Sea to punish Baek Jin-myeong, and from then on a fierce war broke out.
My eyes were stained with blood. So many people died.
The reputation of the Beihai was certainly not in vain, and the warriors of the Beihai flying over the snow were powerful.
but.
When Baek Jung-hyuk went through a blizzard and reached the North Sea Ice Palace.
The enemies realized.
Baek Jung-hyuk, who rose from the bottom of life to the top, is someone who has overcome countless difficulties like the North Sea.
He was fundamentally different from Baek Jin-myeong, who avoided competition. A one-sided massacre occurred.
Baek Jung-hyuk opened the door of the North Sea Ice Palace and cut down all his enemies, leaving behind a mountain of corpses and blowing off the head of Baek Jin-myeong, who was terrified.
North Sea Ice Palace.
Like Baek Jin-myeong, it was the moment when their history ended.
Later.
People said that the martial arts of the Beihai Ice Palace were lost along with the burning castle, but the truth was different.
In Baek Jung-hyuk’s mind.
And in the demonic religion’s report.
The history of the North Sea Ice Palace disappeared like that.
* * *
North Sea.
Arcadia.
It was a similar environment.
Therefore, the danger from the cold mentioned by Viscount Konrad was not that much of a problem.
North Sea Ice Palace.
They handled the cold perfectly.
Beyond martial arts that simply utilized ice-like energy, I knew what methods to use to survive in harsh environments.
How to find food in the snow, how to prepare temporary shelter in the snow, how to move quickly over the snow, etc.
In the North Sea lands they created their own system.
That means.
Among the problems that arose when moving to Arcadia, the cold could not be said to be a factor enough to cause hesitation in making a decision.
Roman Dmitry said.

“What’s important in this matter is whether it’s worth it.”
Eyes were focused.
Even though they had been fiercely disagreeing just now, they listened intently to Roman Dmitry’s remarks as if they had never done so before.
“Beyond the endless mountains. If the beings living in Arcadia had not invaded Salamander’s territory, I might have made an exception for their world. But the reality is not like that. Dwarves settled underground in the endless mountains, Queen Isabel and her soldiers at war with the Kronos Empire, and even Kayden. They prove that Arcadia is also a world living under the same sky. If so, the day will come when the orcs of Arcadia will cross the endless mountain range.”
actually.
Baek Jung-hyuk respected the rest of the world except the Jungwon martial arts world.
If the Beihai Ice Palace had been satisfied with the territory of the New Outer Forest, they might not have perished.
But I crossed the line.
broke them down
The fact that Arcadia’s name was heard repeatedly meant that they had also entered the realm of conquest.
“Arcadia has now become a real problem. From the moment Kayden appears and mentions the existence of orcs, their presence in Dmitry’s future cannot be ruled out. If so, what Kayden said also makes sense. In order to make the area beyond the endless mountains into Dmitri’s domain, a force like the ‘Luna Kingdom’ is needed to wipe out the orcs of Arcadia and manage it. But that doesn’t mean we need to take excessive risks. Therefore, I plan to accept this matter conditionally.”
Top priority condition.
It is about excluding risk.
For the safety of the Kingdom of Luna, there was no reason for Dmitri to take any risks.
“first. In return for helping the Luna Kingdom, they will be accepted as vassals. second. If there is no way to travel across endless mountain ranges in a short period of time, we decline the offer. Finally, the third. Felix, if you use the ‘Teleport Scroll’ with Dmitri across the Endless Mountains, how many people can you move at once?”
“… … The limit is 30 people. “With current technology, it would be difficult to accommodate more people than that.”
“Thirdly, only 30 people from Dmitry, including me, are leaving for Arcadia. As they requested, we will prioritize subjugating the orcs, but if something dangerous happens to Dmitri, we will immediately use the teleportation scroll.”
Three conditions.
They were entirely arrangements for Dmitri.
* * *
Conditions were passed.
Only 30 people.
And the condition to withdraw at any time.
Kayden felt like his heart was sinking, but he had no intention of turning down the offer.
“Thank you, thank you so much!”
Isabel said.
Roman Dmitry.
He said he had surpassed human limits.
First of all, I felt grateful that Roman Dmitry was included among the 30 people.
Currently, the biggest problem of the Luna Kingdom is that there is no one to deal with Graksar.
Even if Roman Dmitri could just defeat that monstrous creature, it would have been worth crossing the endless mountain range.
Roman Dmitry said.
“They must have prepared a way to quickly return to the Luna Kingdom. “Tell me your future plans.”
“In fact, the Kingdom of Luna has been working on creating a ‘teleport point’ in the endless mountain range in order to create a link with the Salamander Continent. And on the way over the endless mountain range, I took one-time coordinates for areas where no teleportation points were installed, so you can use the points to travel for about a week to get to Arcadia. But we can’t leave right now. It is true that the situation in the Luna Kingdom is dangerous, but we need one more week to prepare.”
one week.
There was a special reason.
No matter how quickly we passed, it was clear that the bitter cold of Arcadia would cause many problems.
“The cold in Arcadia is completely beyond normal standards. Therefore, after adapting to the cold through our specially designed medication, it is necessary to learn various ways to survive in the snow.”
“Let’s skip that process.”
“Roman Dmitry. This is a necessary process. If you don’t do that, it’s definitely dangerous… … .”
“No, I’m not saying I won’t prepare. Dmitry, I will figure out how to prepare for the cold. “We also need time to prepare, so we will leave a week later as scheduled.”
I was speechless.
It’s really dangerous.
I wanted to persuade him somehow, but I couldn’t say anything because the Luna Kingdom was in an absolute position.
I’m afraid it might hurt Dmitry’s pride.
Kayden took a step back.
“All right. But if you need my help, please let me know.”
* * *
one week.
I felt sick.
Kayden wanted to visit Roman Dmitri again from time to time and tell him about the dangers of Arcadia.
‘If you take the extreme environment lightly, you’ll be in big trouble.’
Bitter cold.
Snow falling heavily.
Arcadia was completely different from Salamander.
First of all, they wouldn’t be able to adapt to the extreme cold, and the problem was the situation when they encountered the orcs.
The snow piled up so heavily that my feet get stuck.
This wasn’t a problem for the orcs who had lived in Arcadia since they knew how to fight in the snow, but there was a high possibility that Dmitry’s soldiers would be embarrassed and not be able to show their full power.
furthermore.
There was also a phenomenon where the aura froze.
So, the use of mana is important in manifesting the aura itself, but it was frustrating to hear that I was preparing it myself.
Apart from Dmitry’s safety.
The future of the Luna Kingdom was at stake.
Although I hesitated several times, I was unable to persuade Roman Dmitry by visiting him.
If the other person doesn’t feel the need.
No matter how much you teach, you are paying homage to your own ears.
so that.
After feeling the cold of Arcadia, I planned to persuade Roman Dmitry once again.
For now.
The news of this place had to be reported to the Kingdom of Luna.
Beep.
“I will report the situation here. Roman Dmitri has decided to help the Kingdom of Luna. There are 30 people, and including preparation time, we will likely be able to arrive in Arcadia in about two weeks. So, avoid direct confrontation as much as possible, and do whatever you can to save time.”
Communication was not immediately established.
The message arrived several hours later, and the beings who received the communication expressed disappointment.
[Kayden. There are only 30 people. There are tens of thousands of orcs in the gray wasteland, and even receiving help from 30 people cannot turn the situation around. Is there any way to persuade Roman Dmitry to receive more military support?]
“This is also the best. From Dmitry’s point of view, there is no reason to unreasonably help us. Currently, the Salamander Continent is in a situation where the Valhalla Empire is showing signs of civil war, so if Dmitri mobilizes troops excessively, they will also have to take risks. So I can’t ask for more than that. Don’t you know? “If we were in the same situation, we wouldn’t have helped other countries that much.”
[…] … i get it. Move carefully.]
Beyond communications.
I understood their disappointment.
Since Dmitri was the hope of the Kingdom of Luna, the number of 30 people would inevitably be hopeless.
first.
I trusted Isabel’s insight.
In fact, the people of the Luna Kingdom, including Kayden, did not know exactly what kind of being Roman Dmitri was.
People who watched the war against the Kronos Empire only passed on information by word of mouth, but the achievements he was said to have achieved did not seem very realistic.
Isabel said that it would be a success even if she only got help from ‘Roman Dmitry’.
Anyway, since Roman Dmitri also said he would join Luna, I tried to suppress my negative thoughts.
like that.
A week has passed.
Now beyond the endless mountains.
It was time to leave for Arcadia.
