Episode 331: 30 reinforcements (1)
Immediately after confirming communication.
Kayden was lost in thought for a while.
When he saw Roman Dmitry waiting for him, he suppressed his devastated feelings and told the truth.
“… … Luna’s fortress has fallen.”
My voice trembled.
In fact, the war is over.
It was a war in which they were outnumbered from the beginning, so Luna’s fortress had to be protected at all costs.
However, Luna’s fortress collapsed.
The fate of Sebastian and Gyro could not be confirmed, and Luna’s soldiers would have been reduced to food.
There was no possibility that they would have abandoned the fortress and survived.
Luna’s fortress has a temple dedicated to the gods, so people will protect it even at the risk of their lives.
“I will not ask you to stay any longer. The collapse of Luna’s fortress means that there are no troops left to turn the situation around. Thank you very much for taking the long walk to Arcadia. And, I’m sorry for not being able to repay you. “The future of the Luna Kingdom is already over.”
I gritted my teeth.
I feel like it.
I wanted to tell you to fight until the end, just in case.
But I couldn’t.
As a devout believer in God, he hoped that Dmitry, who had bestowed good will, would not make a meaningless sacrifice.
I’m also trying to teach Luna’s skills somehow.
These choices now too.
It was an effort to not be selfish.
There must be tens of thousands of Orcs standing inside Luna’s fortress, but taking 30 troops to destroy it and bring back Luna’s people is forcing a one-sided sacrifice.
It is no different from betraying good intentions.
No matter how conditional it was, Roman Dmitri sincerely cared for Luna’s well-being, but Kayden could not drag Dmitri to hell in the clearly visible future.
If we break up like this.
Kayden was planning to head to Luna alone.
You will probably die.
If he is captured by the orcs, he will be reduced to a terrible situation where his flesh will be eaten alive, but he will fulfill his duty as a knight of Luna.
Truly, life was unpredictable.
Even when I was training with a sword when I was young, people around me would ask me why I put so much effort into something that wasn’t necessary.
Arcadia is.
It is a peaceful world.
Since there was no war, there was no need for weapons, and some pointed out that the construction of a fortress was a meaningless act.
That’s how Luna’s future ended.
Arcadia can never go back to the way it was before.
Just one betrayal, just one war, gave birth to distrust.
It was then.
“I told you so. “The choice is mine.”
Moment.
I looked at Roman Dmitry with a puzzled face.
When Isabel proposed cooperation, Roman Dmitry refused, and even when she bowed her head to save Luna, Roman Dmitry drew a strict line.
That’s what Kayden remembered.
If it was an unwinnable war, Roman Dmitry was the one who would retreat without hesitation when he learned the truth.
however.
“From the moment Dmitry and Luna signed the contract, Luna became Dmitry’s vassal state. Kayden. Luna’s fate is not up to you to decide. So stop talking weakly and tell me everything you know about Luna’s Fortress from now on.”
Roman Dmitry.
I didn’t abandon Luna.
* * *
My heart was pounding.
For a moment, I couldn’t believe my ears.
He clearly said that Luna’s fortress had collapsed, but Roman Dmitry didn’t seem to care at all.
the problem is.
It was the same for other soldiers.
When Roman Dmitry said he would carry out an operation, it was normal for them to stop him, but they calmly accepted it without much reaction. I couldn’t understand it.
I knew it was unusual from the moment he said he would send 30 people as reinforcements, but Dmitry went far beyond what he expected.
I couldn’t hide my true feelings any longer.
If there is even the slightest possibility.
I wanted to do anything for the Luna Kingdom.
Kayden said.
“Luna’s fortress is actually just called a fortress, and it is not a form very suitable for Mercury. The walls themselves are low and the interior is not very wide, so it cannot accommodate many people. As you know, Luna is not a country with a large population. Usually, residents live in villages near the fortress, and major supplies such as food are managed within the fortress. If Graksar’s orcs captured Luna’s fortress. “Not all of them will be living in the fortress.”
“What is the basis?”
“Graksar hopes to become food for other races. Even when he attacked the eighth cellar, he did not hesitate to kill to subdue it, but after that, we heard reports that he was holding people captive and leaving them behind with only the bare minimum of food. Perhaps they are trying to raise other races as livestock. In that case, there would not only be tens of thousands of Orcs inside Luna’s fortress, but also Luna’s people who were held captive. In order to handle that many people, some orcs have no choice but to live outside.”
blast furnace.
There were two hypotheses.
“The orcs have two options. First, it is possible that they stationed their troops inside and outside Luna’s fortress and reorganized their battle lines, or they left some troops behind to attack other races. Graksar are very warlike beings. Now that he has started the war, he will not stop moving until he takes over Arcadia. From the beginning of the actual declaration of war until now. Graksar continues to wage war and attack its surroundings.”
The more you talk.
My head became clear.
Roman Dmitry listened seriously.

Unlike the Salamander Continent, there wasn’t much information, so I listened to Kayden’s words to get enough information.
Is that why?
Kayden suddenly began to take this ridiculous war seriously.
“In the former case, it is virtually impossible to recapture Luna’s fortress. But in the latter case, there is only one way. This is the passage that leads directly to the ice warehouse. An ice warehouse refers to a naturally formed cave, and the Kingdom of Luna stores ice there and uses it to keep food fresh. A secret passage in the cave leads outside. If you use it, you can secretly enter Luna’s fortress without destroying the walls.”
I told you everything I knew.
The choice was up to Roman Dmitry.
actually.
Although a secret passage was mentioned, entering Luna’s fortress, which would be swarming with tens of thousands of troops, was an unreasonable operation.
But now I wanted to follow in silence. Like Roman Dmitry’s soldiers, they supported what he was trying to do.
yet.
Roman Dmitry said.
“I will now explain my future plans.”
* * *
Whiing.
The wind blew.
Through the blizzard that obstructed visibility, three men walked toward Luna’s fortress.
On the castle wall.
The soldier who had been grabbed by the back of the neck by Calotte screamed out in fear as the men came closer and closer.
“Stop! “This is Luna’s territory!”
My body was shaking.
Behind the castle walls.
Calott and the orcs were watching the situation.
They aimed their weapons so that they could kill the soldier’s family at any time, and when they looked at his wife’s face filled with fear, they could not refuse Calott’s orders.
It was a pity for Dmitry’s reinforcements.
They clearly came to save Luna’s kingdom, but Luna’s future was already over.
widely.
I stopped walking.
As the men looked up at the top of the castle wall, the soldier spoke.
“Please identify yourself.”
“I am Roman Dmitry of the Dmitry Kingdom. “At Luna’s request, I came to help Luna.”
The other two.
It was Chris and Kevin.
The soldier looked at Roman Dmitry’s appearance and showed a suspicious expression.
“I heard that Dmitry has 30 reinforcements. But why are there only three of you? And where is Knight Kayden who went to Dmitry?”
Roman Dmitry laughed.
It was mediocre acting.
The pale face and awkward speech clearly showed what was going on even if one did not know the truth.
“From now on, the people of Luna, listen!”
Moment.
I raised my voice.
Even though the soldier looked embarrassed, Roman Dmitry continued his original purpose.
“Luna became Dmitri’s vassal. You belong to Dmitry, and as of this time, you follow the orders of I, Roman Dmitry. If you swear allegiance to me. I will not abandon you.”
It was a sudden situation.
Soldiers too.
Calotte too.
I didn’t understand what was happening.
In the scenario they had in mind, no situation like this existed.
“If you prepare to die and fight until the end. I will save you.”
It was then.
On the castle walls.
The orcs raised their heads.
Is it because I sensed that the situation was unusual?
“Chwiik, attack!”
When Calott screamed, the orcs fired the arrows they had prepared in advance at Roman Dmitri.
That moment.
‘The first half of the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique is a one-second approach.’
Flash.
blow.
Roman Dmitry’s sword cut down the castle gate.
* * *
Secret passage.
Kayden, who was waiting for the signal, was worried and asked a colleague named McBurney next to him.
“… … Do you think this operation will be successful?”
Roman Dmitry’s plan.
It was shocking.
They figured out the enemy’s movements and said that in the latter case, a small number of people, including Roman Dmitry, would draw attention to the castle gate.
Meanwhile, the remaining troops infiltrated through a secret passage. The overriding goal was the liberation of prisoners.
It is not for the safety of the prisoners.
Graksar.
He made a mistake.
Securing the prisoners was a choice for the future, but if they regain their freedom, the Luna Kingdom can regain its strength.
That was the picture Roman Dmitry wanted.
If you raise troops from within with prisoners, the number of troops that were only 30 can quickly increase to hundreds of times.
And head-on confrontation.
It was a difficult mission from start to finish.
It was ridiculous to attract attention with only three people, and even if they infiltrated through a secret passage, there was a possibility that they would not be able to subdue the internal guards.
And even if, ideally, the prisoners were released.
They had to deal with more than 10,000 Orcs, even though their weapons and stamina were poor.
So I asked.
When asked about the success of the operation, McBurney responded calmly.
“Yes, of course.”
There wasn’t a single doubt.
McBurney.
He experienced numerous wars, starting with the Southern Front.
By trusting and following Roman Dmitry, McBurney led many times to victory in more absurd situations than this operation.
In addition, Roman Dmitry had a record of annihilating Rascal’s 10,000 troops single-handedly.
That’s not to say that recapturing the fortress wasn’t risky, but Dmitry’s victory at any cost was never in doubt.
strong confidence.
Kayden had a strange feeling.
He was truly curious about the person named Roman Dmitry, where their faith came from.
‘If he really succeeds in this operation… … .’
Status of vassal state.
I thought it wasn’t all bad.
At first, I did not sympathize with Isabelle’s request to visit Roman Dmitry, but Roman Dmitry did not abandon Luna even in difficult circumstances.
The need for the Kingdom of Luna to control Arcadia was actually not that important.
The meaning of the promise was lost from the moment Luna’s fortress collapsed, but Roman Dmitry was not a person who ignored the importance of promises.
If Isabel is God’s representative.
Roman Dmitry was a king in the truest sense of the word.
Kayden, who did not allow anyone other than Isabelle to exist, began to dream of a new way of the future.
Roman Dmitry, who commands Luna.
In Arcadia, where peace had collapsed, it was the most ideal future.
It was then.
Kwarung.
Crumbling.
“Now is the time.”
Finally, the signal that had been predicted came.
* * *
Crumbling.
The gate was broken.
On the castle wall, beyond the gate.
The orcs were in an uproar.
Roman Dmitry took the first step when he saw them swarming around and revealing their vicious murderous ways.
“let’s go.”
“yes.”
Chris and Kevin follow.
They do it as if it was nothing.
With no hasty steps at all, I approached the enemies filling my field of vision.
