Episode 335: 30 reinforcements (5)
30 minutes later.
Luna’s soldiers gathered.
It was impossible to relieve all the fatigue of war in one day, but no one hesitated at Roman Dmitry’s orders.
This is for Luna’s safety.
Among those armed to go to battle at any moment, there were familiar faces like Smith, who had killed Calott in front of everyone.
Roman Dmitry said.
“smith.”
“yes.”
“I heard that the soldiers of the Luna Kingdom basically learn how to fight in the snow. Am I right?”
“you’re right.”
“What method is that?”
Smith looked at Kayden.
It was because I couldn’t talk about Luna’s skills carelessly, but when Kayden nodded, he opened his mouth.
“Luna’s technologies can be broadly divided into three categories. The first is to maneuver in the snow, for which special shoes are used. Usually, the reason why one’s feet sink in the snow is because a person’s weight is concentrated in a small area. Luna’s shoes disperse this, and if you are an aura tester, you can increase efficiency by spreading the mana under your feet. Of course, simply wearing shoes does not mean you can move freely; you must learn the corresponding movements.”
The explanation continued.
The second is how to use weapons.
The third was a way to overcome the cold.
It was systematic in its own way.
As Arcadia became an extreme environment, the Kingdom of Luna had to adapt to the cold in order to survive.
So many years have passed.
Recently, when the cold became more severe and a crisis occurred, the worst was averted with the birth of Isabelle, but in the past, the problem was solved only with human power.
The methods mentioned by Smith.
It was a product of effort.
The people of Luna were proud of this, but Roman Dmitry’s standards had many loopholes.
Above the sky.
It was snowing.
Luna’s fortress was still able to prevent the snow from piling up to its knees with snow removal magic, but the world outside the fortress was completely white.
Since it was still daytime, it was at least as good as this.
When the sun sets and the world turns dark, Arcadia is a world where snow fills up beyond the knees and up to the chest.
Luna’s way.
It lacked a fatal aspect.
Roman Dmitry looked at Kayden.
“Kayden. “Is Luna’s way of fighting when heavy snow falls?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Why?”
“… … Because there is no reason to prepare for such a situation. Arcadia was a world where peace was guaranteed. Learning how to survive the heavy snow was necessary for Luna’s safety, but there was no reason to prepare for a situation where she had to fight a war through the heavy snow. There was also a belief that they would not attack each other, and it is not only the Kingdom of Luna that has restrictions on movement in heavy snowfall like today.”
It was the same.
No matter how much the orcs control the white wolves.
It is impossible to capture Luna’s fortress through heavy snow.
Roman Dmitry said.
“I have a suggestion for you. While living on the continent of Arcadia, you learned firsthand how to overcome the extreme cold. Even if you don’t have a proper manual for heavy snowfall, there is no change in the fact that you are in an advantageous situation. From now on, select 100 of Luna’s soldiers and subdue just one of Dmitri’s soldiers. “The confrontation will take place outside the fortress, not inside.”
It was an unexpected development.
Only 1 person.
When a signal was given, an unknown soldier came out.
It was clearly Roman Dmitry’s private soldier, but I couldn’t particularly remember his name.
‘… … Each and every one of Dmitry’s soldiers is an excellent aura swordsman. With Luna’s 100 regular soldiers, it wouldn’t be an easy match to begin with, regardless of environmental factors.’
It was then.
“Kayden. You can make up a hundred people, including you and the Ora swordsmen. If you succeed in subduing Dmitry’s soldiers. “For Dmitri’s honor, I will grant you one wish.”
A match involving aura testing.
Kayden’s expression was tinged with embarrassment.
* * *
One to one hundred.
He was not unique like Chris, Kevin, or Ares, and the fierce-faced man did not seem very strong.
His name was Monson.
He was one of Dmitry’s private soldiers, had no special position, and was described as an ordinary man who helped with odd jobs in the market before changing his profession.
but.
I had no intention of letting down my guard.
Infiltration operation.
When suppressing the orcs in the ice cave, I saw with my own eyes what kind of being Dmitry’s soldiers were.
‘It’s probably a formidable being. And the Roman Dmitry I know is not the kind of person who would fight impossible battles.’
Taking steps.
Kayden instructed the soldiers.
As Roman Dmitry said, there were 100 people, including himself and the aura swordsmen.
“Never let down your guard just because there is only one opponent. It is difficult to secure visibility outside the fortress due to heavy snow. If you close the distance with each other’s backs and quickly block the space when the enemy attacks first to take advantage of the numerical advantage, you can win unconditionally. We have already received great grace from Roman Dmitry. Even if I win, I wouldn’t dare ask for a wish from him, but in order to be recognized for the value of the Luna Kingdom, I must at least win the battle in the snow.”
“All right.”
Everyone showed their will.
Squeak.

The gate was opened.
When I went outside, I found myself in a world where there was no protection from magic at all.
Hehehe.
The wind blew.
The chill penetrated into my bones, and the falling snow was so thick that it filled my vision.
I couldn’t understand how anyone could try to subdue a hundred people in an environment like this.
But the bet had already begun, and as the soldiers, including Kayden, lined up, Roman Dmitri gave a signal from afar.
“start.”
fault.
Monson disappeared into the snow.
Just a few steps.
There was no sign of Monson.
Kayden generated mana and looked around with sharp eyes.
“Be alert to your surroundings! “As long as we don’t let our guard down, this is a fight that will be in our favor.”
It’s a disaster.
My senses have become more sensitive.
It was then.
The moment something caught his senses, a fight broke out before Kayden could warn him.
puck!
Wow.
“Gagging.”
“evil!”
It was an instant.
Monson appeared through the snow, overpowered the soldier in the lead, and struck a vital point with the bladeless part, knocking out three soldiers at once.
There was no way to resist.
Because the aura swordsman Kayden could barely grasp Monson’s presence, ordinary soldiers were unable to react to Monson’s sudden presence.
“this.”
Kwarung.
Crumbling.
kicked the ground
He hurriedly tried to attack Monson, but Monson disappeared back into the snow as if he was teasing Kayden.
I was embarrassed.
The other person was not visible.
It may have been because of the severe snowstorm, but there were no traces of the area where Monson disappeared.
Even if Luna’s skills are honed to the extreme, it is impossible to move without footprints.
In addition, there was a lot of snow piled up due to heavy snowfall. Even though I was covered in snow up to my ankles, Monson disappeared like a ghost.
That was the beginning.
one by one.
Monson overpowered the soldiers.
“This way!”
“membrane… … “Oops.”
Sigh!
“Damn it.”
I was in confusion.
Above the eyes.
It was Luna’s home ground.
Although he was confident of victory, Monson haunted Luna’s soldiers like a ghost and toyed with them.
The results were no different even though they were aura tests.
They tried to find Monson’s location using Luna’s method, but by the time they sensed his presence, they were already under attack.
puck-
I stumbled.
Seeing the knight kneeling, Kayden, known as the White Flying Squirrel, could do nothing.
It was slow.
I am proud of the fastest speed in the Luna Kingdom.
I couldn’t bring myself to catch up with Monson.
one two.
The number of soldiers falling gave a feeling of despair.
Kayden fought with determination at first, but at some point he had no choice but to acknowledge the overwhelming difference.
‘… … Does this mean Luna’s method is wrong?’
at last.
Everyone fell down.
When Kayden was the last one left, an eerie voice was heard from behind.
“Knight. “It’s over now.”
Monson took the back.
It was certain.
It was a complete defeat for the Luna Kingdom.
* * *
The bet is over.
Overwhelming defeat.
Kayden accepted the results, but couldn’t understand why there was such a difference.
Luna.
They struggled to survive in a harsh environment.
The skills he had honed so far were not easy enough to be overcome by Dmitry’s skills that exist in all four seasons.
Luna’s soldiers.
Roman Dmitry said while looking at them who looked like defeated soldiers.
“Luna has been trying to overcome Arcadia’s environment. She doesn’t mean to deny the effort. But now that you have been attacked by the orcs, it has been proven that your efforts lack earnestness.”
“… … “Are you saying we weren’t desperate?”
“okay.”
Luna and the North Sea Ice Palace.
What is the difference between the two?
It was that peace was guaranteed.
Luna didn’t have to work hard, but there were no enemies around that threatened their lives.
“When the cold first started, Luna must have been desperate. She couldn’t survive if she couldn’t overcome the cold, so she created many technologies, but things changed when Queen Isabella was born. A divine blessing granting guaranteed peace and warmth. She probably deserved to live. You spent so much time without being prepared for what situations might arise in an extreme environment. That was the problem. In Arcadia, heavy snow is a problem that cannot be called a variable. Despite the difficulties caused by heavy snowfall from time to time, you trained yourself to fight only under the most ideal circumstances. You would have thought that was enough. “Most people don’t understand the point of trying to become stronger, so you probably felt like you were trying hard enough just by overcoming prejudice.”
It was twisted.
I couldn’t say it was anyone’s fault.
Complex intertwined elements made Luna what she is today.
“You have lost your independence. It cannot be said that a nation is in a state of confusion and unable to come to its senses just because one Queen Isabella has gone missing. What Monson has shown you is the product of struggle. “Rather than honing a way to overcome the cold peacefully, we created a way to take full advantage of the extreme environment because we couldn’t survive unless we stubbornly risked our lives.”
The soldiers raised their heads.
Although I was miserable and embarrassed, I did not ignore reality.
“Luna belonged to Dmitry. And I will empower you to become self-reliant.”
if.
If you don’t take advantage of the opportunity properly.
Luna will be excluded from Dmitry’s future.
“The name of what I am going to teach is ‘Snow Heaven’s Martial Arts.’”
* * *
That evening.
Everyone was mesmerized.
After completing training, Luna’s soldiers began to doubt whether what they had experienced was real.
“… … Nonsense.”
“How did Dmitry create these technologies?”
Seolcheon’s martial arts skills.
It was shocking.
It was perfect from start to finish.
The history of the North Sea Ice Palace is not just about how to move quickly over snow, but also how to hide one’s presence while moving over snow, how to leave no traces, and how to detect the location of enemies in situations where there are visual restrictions. He explained detailed elements, such as how to understand them.
Only then.
I could understand Roman Dmitry’s words.
While Luna’s technology excluded the existence of enemies, the martial arts of the North Sea Ice Palace always prepared for the worst.
“… … “Maybe Roman Dmitri is a messenger from God.”
These were the words of a soldier.
Roman Dmitry.
It was something outside of common sense.
He brought in only 30 reinforcements to subdue 10,000 orcs, and presented a new direction with extensive knowledge that even Luna did not possess.
Not a single person said that heavy snow would be a problem now.
It was truly a divine being. Each move left a strong impact on my mind.
Kayden shook his head.
“no. He is not a messenger from God. He simply entered the realm of transcendence.”
I believed in God.
There was no change in my heart to follow Him.
However, as Roman Dmitry said, Luna’s future life will be independent for Luna’s future.
The plan is two days later.
He said he would go on the road after completing sufficient training.
The existence of elves is important.
Although it is necessary to help them as quickly as possible, Roman Dmitry said there is no need to rush things out of impatience.
The presence of elves only increases the odds of winning.
If they couldn’t last even a few days, that was only the power they had to begin with, so it was necessary to stabilize Luna’s power first.
Luna too.
We have entered Dmitry’s territory.
Unlike when I first asked for help, I developed a blind faith in my decision to prioritize the safety of my allies.
Dmitry when he is an ally and Dmitry when he is not.
The feeling was completely different.
Two days after that.
Squeak.
The gates of the fortress were opened.
Soldiers coming out.
There was no longer any doubt about victory in their eyes.
