Episode 336: 30 reinforcements (6)
In a dark cave.
Gyro looked up at the ceiling with a devastated face.
Through a small gap, I could see a sky as dark as this place.
a few days ago.
He heard shocking news from the orcs standing guard.
“Chwiik, the great Graksar has destroyed Luna’s fortress. Now that there are no people to help you, you might as well think about how to survive as a slave. Chwiik, especially you. “If you keep looking at me with eyes like that, I’ll eat your eyes out alive.”
The orc pointed to Gyro.
It means that Luna’s fortress was destroyed.
It was shocking.
It hasn’t been long since Graksar left with his troops, but I didn’t expect to hear news like this already.
From then on, Gyro began to completely collapse mentally. Luna’s downfall could be said to be her own fault.
If they had not planned an operation outside the fortress, or even waited for Roman Dmitry to arrive, the fortress would not have collapsed so quickly.
‘… … It’s a gyro. ‘You pushed Luna to the cliff of destruction.’
I was out of breath.
People who are dragged away from time to time.
A scream heard from afar.
At first, I tried to endure the situation with dignity, but at some point, it felt like everything happening around me was blaming me.
Among the people trapped in the cave were soldiers.
They simply followed the commander’s orders, but due to the commander’s stupidity, they ended up being stored as food.
I forgot about hunger.
My face became thinner.
At that time, when he was still alive but did not have the face of a living person, the orc threw something in front of his eyes as if mocking him.
Tuk.
“Chwiik, if you want to live, eat that. “Cluck, click, click.”
It was a bizarre laugh.
The orc burst out laughing, shaking his snub nose, then closed the iron cage and disappeared into the distance.
People’s attention was focused.
On the floor.
There was a piece of meat.
It was something that would have caused people who had been starving for several days to rush in, spitting, but all the people’s faces were colored with fear.
It had to be that way. It was a piece of meat presumed to be human.
It was cut off near the arm and thrown as food, and people could not bear to touch it no matter how close they were to death.
It was devastating.
Everyone’s expressions were cruelly distorted by the anger welling up inside them.
however.
Gyro approached the piece of meat.
People looked surprised.
Contrary to the thought that he might be trying to give up being human, Gyro grabbed a piece of meat and dissected it.
It wasn’t my intention to eat it.
When we dissected it all, dripping with blood, the bones that supported it were revealed.
He hid the piece of meat in a corner and secretly took a large bone.
“Everyone be quiet. “Even if I die, I plan to take a few people with me.”
Muddy voice.
My voice was quiet because I couldn’t eat.
Gyro moved to a corner and began scraping the bone on the floor carefully behind his back to avoid making any noise.
Buck, buck, buck. I heard a small sound that was annoying.
Gyro constantly moved his hands to make the ends of the bones sharp and strong enough to pierce the orc’s tough skin.
A prosecutor in the snow field.
His life is over.
The last thing to do was to die like a human being.
* * *
Buck buck.
Buck, buck, buck.
I had a lot of thoughts.
if.
Really, if I had waited for Roman Dmitry, would I have been able to turn the situation around?
‘It would have been impossible.’
There are only 30 people.
Even looking back on it, it was not enough power to warrant victory, and the size of the reinforcements proved that Roman Dmitry did not care about the safety of the Kingdom of Luna.
That’s just the minimum courtesy.
Since we couldn’t ignore Luna’s difficulties, we sent enough troops to show off when we won the war.
understood.
Dmitry, who had no interaction with Luna, had no reason to sacrifice himself for her.
‘So there was no hope in the first place?’
Isabelle’s disappearance.
The reason was unknown.
What is certain is that she struggled to stop Kronos’ plan, and the result directly led to Luna’s destruction.

A feeling of resentment arose. Isabel is the Queen of Luna.
No matter how much she worshiped a god, what was important to her was not the safety of humanity but the people of Luna.
Kayden said.
Roman Dmitry said Dmitry’s safety was his priority.
I was jealous.
Perhaps Gyro hoped that a monarch like Roman Dmitri would lead the Luna Kingdom.
‘Luna is not a country that worships gods because there are choices. A cold that humans could not handle arrived, and a saint was born, so there was no way for us to survive if we did not believe in God. Oh God. Is this really what you want? Luna served you more sincerely than anyone else, but why did we have to sacrifice ourselves for the Salamander Continent and then end up like this?’
My stomach was boiling.
Sacrifice is an important religious element.
Even though he knew that, he needed someone who could rebuke and criticize Isabelle without knowing her true feelings.
that is.
It was human.
A weak and insignificant being.
In the depths of despair, Gyro realized how contradictory the harmonious world was.
‘Even if Isabelle had not gone missing, the peace of Arcadia would have collapsed at some point.’
Tuk.
I stopped my hand.
The bones were sharply ground.
Enough to handle a few orcs.
I breathed slowly.
I waited for the right time.
Explode the last remaining strength to immediately suppress the orcs entering, and if possible, save as many of the people trapped inside as possible.
Gyro risked his life.
His face, hidden in the darkness, looked like a demon, and his red, shiny eyes lowered his head and hid his murderous intent.
Finally.
Squeak.
The door opened.
My heart was pounding.
widely.
Steps inside.
The moment Gyro was about to rush forward, exploding a trace of mana, an unexpected sight unfolded before his eyes.
“… … Ke, Kayden?!”
“Gyro!”
I opened my eyes wide.
The existence before your eyes.
Not the orc who was persecuting humans, but Kayden, soaked in blood, was there.
* * *
What were my first feelings?
It was embarrassing.
The orcs clearly said that Luna’s fortress had fallen, but how did Kayden appear here?
Luna’s soldiers cleared the area.
Behind them, the corpses of orcs were seen strewn on the ground.
“Gyro. “The war is not over yet.”
“… … What are you talking about?”
I saw Kayden.
He gave him water first, but Gyro didn’t drink it and gave him a look telling him to tell the truth.
“While I crossed the endless mountain range. Luna’s fortress has fallen to the orcs. At that time, I thought Luna’s future was over, but Roman Dmitry thought differently. He told me how to take back Luna with only 30 troops. It was an impossible operation. “As I was executing the operation, I thought it was bound to fail.”
Drop, drop.
Blood dripped.
No matter how many orcs were slaughtered, Kayden’s face was soaked in blood.
“The result is just as you confirmed. We recaptured Luna’s fortress and slaughtered ten thousand orcs.”
I was shocked.
30 people.
To put it bluntly, it is not a number that will determine victory or defeat in a war.
Even though he was from Arcadia and was not familiar with war, he learned common sense from the book of military methods that he had read over and over again.
How ridiculous what Kayden said is. That’s why I felt awe.
It’s not that Roman Dmitry didn’t think about Luna’s safety, but he really thought that having 30 people would be helpful.
Moment.
I was speechless.
Although Luna was happy that it wasn’t over, she clenched her fists in devastation.
‘In the end, I was the problem.’
Roman Dmitry.
He was a savior.
If he had waited just a few days, the situation would have completely changed, but Gyro pushed Luna into the abyss of despair without knowing the truth.
It was truly a harsh reality.
What he wanted was peace in the Kingdom of Luna, but in the end, dragging out his troops with his strong claims ended up being a fatal defeat.
I wanted to die.
I wanted to bite my tongue and be free from the guilt.
but.
That was a cowardly act.
Gyro wanted to put an end to his responsibility for the defeat by dying while fighting the Orcs on the battlefield.
“He, where is he?”
The expression has changed.
From Roman Dmitry.
He became
Kayden took care of Gyro and told him why we should hurry from now on.
“Roman Dmitri left for the east to engage in all-out war against Graksar. So, come to your senses. “Before the battle is over, he must help Dmitri by quickly reorganizing his lines.”

Around that time.
The situation for the elves was not good.
A significant portion of the elves’ territory had already been taken over by the Orcs who were advancing in large numbers.
“Attack!”
“Don’t let the enemies come in anymore!”
Pot Pot Pot-
An arrow was fired.
On top of a bare tree whose shape was maintained by the energy of the World Tree, the elves moved with agile movements and fired arrows.
puck.
“Quek.”
“Chwiik, don’t back down!”
The orc hit by the arrow fell to the ground.
Although the number of Orcs who had already died was not small, the Orcs came in droves as if the deaths of their compatriots were nothing.
A space once called the forest of elves.
The number of elves guarding the World Tree here was approximately ten thousand.
Even if one elf fired an arrow and killed three or four orcs, the orcs following Graksar boasted more than twice that number.
Human sea warfare tactics.
It was a fight with an expected ending.
Graksar immediately blew off the head of the elf warrior blocking his path.
Kwasik.
“Chwiik, you ridiculous guy.”
Blood splattered.
Graksar’s entire body was stained with blood.
The fight so far.
He always took the lead and directly defeated the enemies that seemed the strongest.
Graksar was a special being.
From the moment he picked up the weapon, he naturally realized mana, and the Orc warriors who looked down on him were defeated by Graksar and acknowledged that he was the strongest.
The best Orc road of all time.
Whether by force or intellect, those who promoted him as an Orc Lord had no choice but to acknowledge Graksar’s talent.
and.
From the time he gained power, Graksar dreamed of conquering Arcadia.
The stupid other races did not know the truth.
Even if Isabel hadn’t gone missing, Arcadia would have been engulfed in war someday because of her.
“Chwiik, march! “Don’t back down!”
Crumbling.
The aura exploded.
He gave strength to the orcs with his race’s unique assimilation ability and threw the huge ax with all his might.
With a crunching sound, all the trees hit by the ax were broken.
The elves who were climbing the trees fell down, and for each elf, three or four orcs rushed at them and tore their bodies to pieces.
A scream was heard.
The end was approaching.
If even the Elves fell, there would be no one in Arcadia to stand against the Orcs.
It was then.
“Kaaak!”
“Ugh!”
From the rear.
I heard a strange sound.
Graksar stopped walking.
It was a sound that should not have been heard.
The elves are cornered, so who on earth would attack the orcs from behind?
“Chwiik, it’s a surprise attack! “Humans are attacking the rear!”
“Chwiik, you’re a human?”
An orc’s report.
Graksar’s gaze turned to the rear.
Moment.
I had an eerie feeling.
The Luna Kingdom has already been destroyed.
They were the only nation in Arcadia created by humans, and other than them, humans did not exist.
If so, this situation could only mean one thing.
The entity mentioned by Luna’s soldiers during interrogation.
A force of about 30 men, led by a human I had never heard of, crossed an endless mountain range.
Finally.
I could see the scenery behind me.
Seeing Luna’s flag fluttering, Graksar’s expression hardened.
‘no way.’
It was certain.
Luna’s soldiers are alive.
This meant that Calott’s 10,000 troops had suffered.
In other words, a human across an endless mountain range whose name I don’t know has overturned ten thousand differences.
This.
It was a variable that did not exist in Graksar’s plan.
