Arcadia's Fall (2)

One year after Baek Jung-hyuk ascended to the throne of Heaven.

A problem occurred.

One of the brothers, who had fled like a coward in the competition of bone and flesh, appeared in a reunion with the remnants of the previous power.

They entrusted themselves to the North Sea Ice Palace.

It was possible because the mother of being, who was the half-brother of Baek Joong-hyuk, was a person from the Bukhae Ice Palace.

"As long as Baek Jin-myung is alive, Baek Joong-hyeok cannot yet be said to be the perfect leader of magic."

in the lands of the North Sea.

They raised their voices.

Their purpose was not to take down Baek Joong-hyuk right away.

Baek Jung-hyeok showed overwhelming force in the process of ascending to the throne of Cheonma, and even with the help of the North Sea Ice Palace, it was impossible to regain that position.

However, by highlighting the fact that they are descendants of a heavenly demon, they were able to obtain the Congo of power.

They hoped for a return to Magyo through a reasonable compromise, and thought that it was impossible for Baek Jung-hyeok to touch them, who were hiding in the North Sea.

North Sea.

It was the forbidden realm.

The history of Moorim, handed down from generation to generation, warned us not to ever set foot on the land of the North Sea.

just as expected.

Just as the leaders of Dmitry raised their voices to each other, the leaders of the Magic School were divided into two and a disagreement arose.

"You must kill Baek Jin-myung. We can't just watch them shake the foundations of magic."

"Who does not know that? Even though Baek Jin-myung knew that he would be in danger, he deliberately showed up. That's because they believe in the North Sea. No matter how powerful the magicians are, it is impossible to enter the land of the North Sea and kill Baek Jin-myung."

"It doesn't matter if it's impossible or not. It must be dealt with at any cost!"

"Then if you get hit by the enemies, then there's no turning back!"

There was a riot.

Both made sense.

Baek Jin-myung's existence shook the foundations of magic, but the land of the North Sea, where the bitter cold and snow filled up to the knees, was not a place to set foot in vain.

The North Sea has never been captured by the enemy.

The people of the North Sea Ice Palace knew how to use the environment of the North Sea, and as soon as the enemy set foot in the North Sea, instead of fighting from the front, they slowly devoured the opponent's stamina.

When you are shivering in the cold, starving, and your stamina is low.

I was looking for that time.

The North Sea's military defense, which is specialized in the North Sea environment, won overwhelmingly as much as it did in the North Sea no matter what enemy it faced.

This was the reason Baek Jin Myung appeared.

I knew that even Baek Joong-hyeok could not cross the line if he hid himself in the North Sea.

really if.

If Baek Joong-hyuk made an extreme choice, then maybe it would be a golden opportunity to regain the place of the Cheonma.

that day.

Baek Jung-hyuk said.

"There are no exceptions in my magic."

raised an army.

If they were to be excluded because the North Sea environment was harsh, Baek knew that his position would be cracked.

All preparations were completed. To execute Baek Jin-myung, he set foot in the land of the North Sea, and a fierce war broke out from then on.

My eyes were stained with blood. So many people died.

Certainly the North Sea's reputation was not in vain, and the North Sea warriors flying over the snow were powerful.

However.

When Baek Jung-hyuk made it through the snowstorm and reached the North Sea Ice Palace.

Enemies realized.

Baek Joong-hyuk, who has risen to the apex from the bottom of his life, is a being who has overcome countless difficulties like the North Sea.

It was fundamentally different from Baek Jin-myung, who avoided competition. One-sided massacre took place.

Baek Jung-hyeok 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 frightened head of Baek Jin-myung.

North Sea Ice Palace.

Like Baek Jin-myung, it was the moment when their history came to an end.

later.

People said that Bukhae Ice Palace was lost along with the burning castle, but the truth was different.

In Baek Jung-hyuk's mind.

And in the Treasury of the Magician.

The history of Bukhae Ice Palace disappeared like that.

* * *

North Sea.

Arcadia.

It was a similar environment.

So, the danger from the cold, as Viscount Konrad said, didn't really matter.

North Sea Ice Palace.

They dealt with the cold perfectly.

Leaving behind the simple use of ice-like energy, he knew what method to use in order to survive in a harsh environment.

How to get food in the snow, how to make a shelter in the snow, how to move quickly on snow, and more.

In the lands of the North Sea they built their own system.

That is to say.

When it came to Arcadia, the problems that arose, the cold could not be said to be a factor enough to hesitate to make a decision.

Roman Dmitry said.

"The important thing in this case is whether it is worth it."

eyes were focused.

Although they had been arguing fiercely until recently, they listened to Roman Dmitry's remarks as if they had ever been.

"Beyond the endless mountains. If the beings living in Arcadia had not invaded the realm of the Salamanders, I might have made their world an exception. But the reality is not. The dwarves that settled beneath the endless mountain range, Queen Isabelle and her soldiers who were at war with the Kronos Empire, and even Cayden. They are proving that Arcadia is a world that lives under the same sky. Then, the day will come when the orcs of Arcadia will cross the endless mountain range."

in reality.

Baek Joong-hyuk respected the world except for Moorim in Jungwon.

If the North Sea Ice Palace had been satisfied with the territory of the new foreign ministry, they might not have perished.

But it crossed the line.

knocked them down

The repeated hearing of Arcadia's name meant that they too had entered the realm of conquest.

"Arcadia is now a real problem. From the moment Kaden appears, and he mentions the existence of the orcs, their existence cannot be ruled out for Dmitry's future. Then there is some truth to Cayden's words. In order to make Dmitry's realm beyond the endless mountain range, a power like the 'Luna Kingdom' is needed to wipe out the orcs of Arcadia and manage it. But that doesn't mean we have to take undue risks. So, I plan to accept it conditionally."

top priority.

to rule out risk.

For the safety of the Luna Kingdom, there was no reason for Dmitry to take any risks.

first. In exchange for helping the Luna Kingdom, they will accept them as vassal states. second. If there is no way to move the endless mountain range in a short time, we reject the offer. Finally the third. Felix, how many people can you move at once by using the 'Teleport Scroll' as Dmitry from beyond the endless mountains?"

" 30 people is the limit. With the current technology, it will be difficult for more people than that."

"Thirdly, in Dmitry, only 30 people, including myself, leave for Arcadia. As per their request, the subjugation of the orcs is our top priority, but if something dangerous happens to Dmitry, we will use the teleport scroll right away."

three conditions.

Those were all arrangements for Dmitry.

* * *

conditions passed.

Only 30.

And the condition to step out at any time.

For Cayden, it felt like his heart was going to drop, but he didn't mean to turn down the offer.

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

Isabel said.

Roman Dmitry.

He said that he has transcended human limits.

First of all, the fact that Roman Dmitry was included among the 30 people, I thought that it was something to be thankful for.

The biggest problem with the current Luna Kingdom was that there was no one to deal with Graxxar.

Even if Roman Dmitry defeated that monster, it was worth crossing the endless mountain range.

Roman Dmitry said.

"You must have prepared a way to quickly return to the Luna Kingdom. Tell me about your future plans."

"Actually, the Luna Kingdom has been working on creating a 'teleport point' in the endless mountain range in order to make a connection with the Salamander Continent. And on the way over the endless mountain range, I took one-time coordinates in the vicinity where the teleport point was not installed, so you can reach Arcadia by using the points for about a week. But we can't leave right now. It is true that the situation in the Luna Kingdom is dangerous, but we need an extra week to prepare."

one week.

There was a special reason.

No matter how quickly it passed, the bitter cold of Arcadia was sure to cause many problems.

"The cold in Arcadia is completely beyond the norm. Therefore, it is necessary to learn various ways of surviving in the snow after adapting to the cold through the drug that we specially manufactured."

"Let's skip that process."

"Roman Dmitry. This is a necessary process. If you don't, it's obviously dangerous... ."

"No, I'm not saying I'm not ready. Dmitry will let me figure out how to prepare myself for the cold. We also need time to prepare, so we will start as scheduled and leave in a week."

I was speechless.

It's really dangerous.

I wanted to persuade him somehow, but I couldn't say it hastily because the Luna Kingdom was in absolute Eul's position.

I'm afraid I'll hurt Dmitry's self-esteem by any chance.

Cayden took a step back.

Okay. But if you need my help, feel free to tell me."

* * *

one week.

got upset

From time to time, Cayden wanted to visit Roman Dmitry again and tell him about the dangers of Arcadia.

'If you can see the extreme environment, big things will happen.'

bitter cold.

snow falling profusely.

Arcadia was completely different from Salamander.

First, he would not be able to adapt to the extreme cold, and the problem was when he encountered the orcs.

The huge pile of snow makes your feet drenched.

Orcs who lived in Arcadia knew how to fight in the snow, so it wasn't a problem, but Dmitry's soldiers were very likely to be embarrassed and unable to use their power.

Besides.

There was also a phenomenon in which the aura was frozen.

So, the use of mana is also important for manifesting the aura itself, but it was frustrating to say that you prepare it yourself.

Leave Dmitry's comfort.

The future of the Luna Kingdom was at stake.

He hesitated several times, but he did not persuade Roman Dmitry.

If your partner doesn't feel the need.

No matter how much you teach, it's still a sutra.

so that.

After feeling the cold of Arcadia, I was thinking of convincing Roman Dmitry once again.

for now.

The news of this place had to be reported to the Luna Kingdom.

beep.

"I will report the situation. Roman Dmitry has agreed to help the Luna Kingdom. The number of people is 30, and it seems that we will be able to arrive in Arcadia in about two weeks, including the preparation time. So avoid face-to-face as much as possible and stick with it in a way that is time-consuming."

Communication was not immediately connected.

The message arrived a few hours later, and the beings who received the communication expressed disappointment.

[Kaden. Only 30 people. There are tens of thousands of orcs in the Gray Wastes, and with the help of 30 people, the situation cannot be reversed. Is there any way to convince Roman Dmitry to receive more troops?]

"This is also the best. From Dmitry's point of view, there is no reason to forcefully help us. In the current Salamander Continent, the Valhalla Empire is showing signs of civil war, so if Dmitry forcefully mobilizes troops, they too must 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 know. Move carefully.]

beyond communication.

Their disappointment was understandable.

Since Dmitry was the hope of the Luna Kingdom, the number of 30 people would have to be hopeless.

First.

I trusted Isabelle's eyes.

In fact, the people of Luna Kingdom, including Cayden, did not know exactly what Roman Dmitry was.

Those who witnessed the war against the Kronos Empire only passed on information from mouth to mouth, but his achievements were not very realistic.

Isabel said that with the help of one 'Roman Dmitry', it was a success.

Anyway, Roman Dmitry also said that he would join Luna, so he struggled to suppress negative thoughts.

like that.

A week has passed.

Now beyond the endless mountains.

It was time to leave for Arcadia.
