The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 326
Chapter 326: Arcadia’s Collapse (1)
Right after the words are delivered.
The man lost consciousness.
The therapist said that he had been suffering from hunger for a long time and had been forced to cross the endless mountains.
Other than that, there were no serious problems.
He ate light food for a few days to recover his body, and after about three days, the man walked out of the hospital on his own.
that day.
An emergency meeting was convened.
With all of Dmitri’s leaders seated, Roman Dmitri looked down at the man and asked for his purpose.
“Why did people from Luna Kingdom cross the endless mountain range?”
“First of all, before I tell you the purpose, I will explain the situation in Luna Kingdom.”
The man’s name is Caden.
He was a knight of Luna Kingdom.
He looked at Roman Dmitri with a sad face.
“Three months ago from now. I lost contact with Isabel, the queen and saint of Luna Kingdom. In fact, right after the all-out war between Dmitri and Kronos ended. Isabel did not return to the Kingdom of Luna, but remained in the Salamander Continent to stop some conspiracy that Cronus was planning. I don’t know what happened to Isabel. What is certain is that as contact with Isabel was cut off, the divine power that protected Luna Kingdom began to weaken.”
beyond the endless mountains.
Arcadia froze from the extreme cold.
It was a world where life was difficult to live in, and that is why Isabel’s birth was described as a gift from God.
“Isabel’s divine power was the only power that gave warmth in the frozen world. However, when the cold could not be stopped due to the absence of divine power, not only did people freeze to death in the cold, but also a problem with food arose. Roman Dmitry. Arcadia is now in its downfall. In order to protect the base of the Luna Kingdom, we must make sure that Queen Isabelle is safe and save her.”
“Does that mean you want us to find Queen Isabel?”
“yes. I beg you kindly.”
He bowed his head.
The trembling voice represented the earnest feeling.
The opponent is the Kronos Empire.
If there was a problem with Isabel, the culprit would be them, but Roman Dmitri was the only person in the Salamander Continent who would not back down even against the Kronos Empire.
Isabelle’s presence. Even if it wasn’t Kayden’s request, it was worth looking into.
Isabel is the person who revealed ‘Alexandre’s identity’, so there was a high possibility that the conspiracy she was trying to stop was also related to Dmitri’s future.
“i get it. Let’s find out about Queen Isabel.”
“thank you!”
His expression brightened up a lot.
He shouted loudly and lowered his head several times.
however.
Even though Roman Dmitri accepted the request, Caden did not back down and showed signs of hesitation.
“Is there another business?”
“in fact… .”
I hesitated.
I bit my lip and thought about it, but there was no one to solve this either.
“Luna Kingdom. No, that’s not the only problem with Arcadia. The absence of divine power affected all of Arcadia, and a situation arose that even the Luna Kingdom and other tribes complained of starvation. That caused the problem 2 months ago. One of the different races broke the peace treaty as creatures died one after another from starvation and cold.”
peace treaty.
The moment the promise of peace between the different races was torn apart, Arcadia was stained with blood and slaughter.
“A race once called the Wanderers of the Gray Wasteland. Orcs have declared war with other races.”
* * *
Ten days ago.
While the Salamander Continent was enjoying peace, Luna Kingdom’s seventh storage was attacked by enemies.
“Stop!”
“Absolutely not here! We have to stop it somehow!”
Above the snowy sky.
Push shush.
Hundreds of arrows were fired.
To withstand the cold, the soldiers, who wore clothes made of animal fur, fired arrows endlessly with angry faces.
But there was hardly any hope to be found on their faces.
The beings rushing through the blizzard rode a white wolf, one of the few creatures that survived the cold.
Kruck Kruck.
Aww!
The hair all over her body stood up.
The man presumed to be the commander raised the mana and exploded it with an arrow.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
huge explosion!
The arrow from the aura pierced the white wolf as it was.
puck!
cracker.
just went out
As the White Wolf fell to the ground with a scream of despair, the sturdy monster riding on it also rolled over.
With that, the monster’s life was over.
The arrows did not hit him, but the beings that followed did not care at all for the comfort of the monster that had fallen to the ground.
trampled the monster
Even though the blood burst and the flesh was torn in an instant, the monsters focused only on one purpose.
at last.
They finally reached the gates.
“Chwiik follow me!”
The monster at the forefront.
A race that walks on two legs just like humans, but has rough skin and an appearance reminiscent of pigs.
It was the orc Cayden had mentioned.
He didn’t slow down his charge, then raised a huge ax the size of himself.
And then.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
raised an aura
He exploded his fiercely seething aura all at once and swung it straight toward the huge gate blocking his way.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The gate was broken.
Even though it was protected by layers of magic, it could not withstand the strong blow of an orc.
This was the reason people showed desperate expressions from the beginning.
The orc who stood in the forefront was not an ordinary orc, but an Orc Lord who led the Orcs of the Gray Wasteland, and the name Graxar brought despair to the humans.
The road is open.
Stepping inside, Graxar let out a wild cry and swung his axe.
“Kill all Chwiik!”
Kwajik!
“Cheer.”
It was the beginning of a massacre.
Swordsmen using auras, including the commander, attacked Graxar, but Graxar’s overwhelming force slaughtered them like scarecrows.
Kill and kill and kill again. The bodies of enemies standing in the way were torn to shreds.
Snow was falling from the sky, and hot steam rose from the blood flowing down on the ground.
Not long after.
The seventh cellar has been captured.
Graxar brought those he had taken prisoner to their knees and gave orders to the orcs as they arrived.
“Secure all the food in the storage, including the ‘humans’ that will be used as food for the sake of profit.”
“I understand.”
in terms of food.
The people of Luna Kingdom looked pale and tired.
they prayed
Please save them from these heinous beings.
but.
“Ah!”
“Aagh!”
People closed their eyes and covered their ears at the screams that came from afar.
they no longer
You will not be able to live as a human.

Cayden’s remarks.
It puzzled people.
Upon hearing that the Orcs had declared war, Viscount Conrad, who was observing the situation, asked,
“I heard that Arcadia is a land of harmony where different races live together. But it’s a war. Are there no restrictions on a peace treaty between different races?”
“… yes. A peace treaty is only a token of faith. It was not because there was a conflict between them that we made such an agreement to mediate it, but from the beginning, the races of Arcadia did not harm each other.”
My voice trembled.
He had a sad expression on his face and spoke behind his back.
“The beginning of the conflict was when a new Orc Lord ascended the throne. The orc named ‘Graxar’ was very aggressive and always dissatisfied with the environment of Arcadia, but when Isabel went missing and the situation worsened, he immediately attacked the other races around him. And soon after, they began to invade the territory of Luna Kingdom.”
The collapse of Arcadia.
unity is broken
The snow-white ground was stained with blood, and people were more worried about dying than starvation.
“Graxar’s purpose is to ‘foodize’ all races except for the Orcs, and Isabel is trying to take over all of the storage she has made in case of emergency. Roman Dmitry. If this continues, Arcadia will have no choice but to walk the path of downfall. Please us. Please save Luna Kingdom.”
It was a sad story.
It was appropriate to say that the reality of humans degraded to food is hopeless.
but.
Roman Dmitry’s reaction was cold.
“Help Luna Kingdom is not a simple matter. You have to cross endless mountains and overcome the bitter cold, and you have to take the risks that Dmitri will experience. why do we Should I take a risk for the Luna Kingdom that I have never interacted with before?”
It was different from the problem of finding Queen Isabel.
Roman Dmitri looked at Cayden with a nonchalant look at the risk he had to take.
Caden looked desperate.
understood.
I fully sympathize with Roman Dmitri’s words, but his will was desperate enough to cross the endless mountain range.
“I understand. For Dmitri, it is right to take big risks. But what I want to say is that Graksar’s presence always threatens Dmitri as well. Graxar’s method is not a fundamental solution. If you eat all the different races that have been rationed and even the food in the storage is exposed, then you have no choice but to look beyond the endless mountains. So use us. Use us to control future dangers while the power of Luna Kingdom is still strong.”
and.
There was a decisive reason for finding Dmitri.
“When Isabel made the decision to remain in the Salamander Continent. You said this to us. If something goes wrong with you or if Arcadia collapses, then find ‘Roman Dmitri’ and swear allegiance. please accept us If you save the Kingdom of Luna, the Kingdom of Luna will become a gatekeeper that controls the endless mountains and will forever devote itself to Dmitri.”
got down on his knees
He lowered his head and said earnestly.
An oath of allegiance to the Luna Kingdom.
With Kayden’s strong will, Dmitri also needed some time to organize his thoughts.
* * *
For a moment, Cayden backs away.
Dmitriman’s meeting was held.
Several people, including Viscount Lawrence, positively accepted Cayden’s proposal.
“The Luna Kingdom claim has some truth. After Graxar conquers the lands of Arcadia, he will obviously have no choice but to cross the endless mountains to solve the food problem. The problem is when. For now, peace is being maintained by negotiating a truce with the Kronos Empire, but if they reveal their ambitions to conquer the continent and Graxar crosses the endless mountains, the problem will grow.”
“you’re right. I’d rather deal with Graxar and eliminate the hazard before that.”
pros.
They prepared for emergencies.
In the worst case, he might encounter a situation where he would face Kronos and the Orcs at the same time.
Previously.
If you deal with Graxar and set up Luna Kingdom as a gatekeeper, you can definitely prevent the worst situation in advance.
Not everyone agreed, though.
Like water and oil, Viscount Conrad’s opponents had a different opinion.
“I don’t think so. Orcs beyond the endless mountains. I agree that they are dangerous. However, it is not easy for large armies to cross endless mountains. If they do come over, we can use our geographic advantage to block them with minimal damage. But what if we cross the endless mountain range to subdue them? In the land where the land is frozen all year round, as well as the risk of crossing the mountain, we have to fight the monsters who made it their home. The odds are slim. Even if we win, the damage will be enormous.”
“This is a very simple problem. Luna kingdom has nothing to do with Dmitri. I see no reason for us to sacrifice for them.”
A debate was held.
raised their voices to each other.
Both made sense.
However, if Roman Dmitri had to choose one thing, Viscount Conrad’s opinion would have power.
beyond the endless mountains.
It is enemy land.
There was no need to take risks just because you were worried about the worst without sufficient preparation.
Luna Kingdom is just a foreign country.
The bond with them was not deep enough to go to war while enduring the harsh environment of Arcadia.
furthermore.
‘The Valhalla Empire is in a situation where you don’t know when it will explode. It’s right to wait and see for now.’
The timing was bad.
However, upon hearing Caden’s proposal, Roman Dmitri felt familiar.
In fact, the premise of ignoring the Kingdom of Luna had a lot of bad news called ‘cold wave’.
Dmitri’s soldiers, who were not accustomed to the cold, set foot in Arcadia for no reason and could return with great damage, let alone victory.
cold wave.
The word was familiar.
The days when I lived as Baek Joong-hyuk.
As much as the political faction Murim, there was a force that interfered with the Murim conquest.
They were neither Sapa Murim nor Blood Demons.
Although the forces weren’t as large as the previous two, they had one strength that made their presence a nuisance.
A land where it snows all year round.
A force that used the cold as a strength.
they’re right.
It was the North Sea Ice Palace.
