Winter Castle (5)

Winter has come. Bell said so with a serious expression on his face.

Of course I didn’t understand. In the beginning, it was summer now.

So I asked.

“It’s summer now, is there any other meaning for winter?”

Bell listened to me and added.

“Winter Castle doesn’t really differentiate between seasons. It’s the same because it snows anyway.”

aah

A roar of disgust, radically different from human vocalization, as if scratching a blackboard with a fingernail.

“So, there is only one case where winter comes to Cardia’s castle.”

Bell hurried up the stairs. It was a stairway leading up to the top of the wall. Agnes and I followed her up the wall.

boo woo.

The sound of the trumpet filled the winter castle. The soldiers are busily coming and going over the wall.

It’s just a trumpet sound. With that single sound, the atmosphere of the fortress changes rapidly.

Whether it was a soldier taking a nap, or an assistant sharpening a knife and eating food.

Everyone prepares for battle. as if you had made a promise.

cut profit.

The gates were closed. The last guide who came in gasped. He exhaled loudly as he exhaled.

“They are coming!!”

Soldiers with swords and spears clenched their teeth. I felt my heart pounding.

It was then that I found out why. A place where the fishy smell of blood vibrates.

Green waves crashed over the mountains.

“I stand by the gunner in place!”

“Squad leaders, check your troops! Is there anyone missing?”

The commanders shouted whale whales. The soldiers’ hands were busy. rocks or arrows.

There was no soldier without anything.

“See over there?”

Bell pointed over the mountains. My gaze turned to her fingertips.

What I saw was not just green waves.

“Such crazy… .”

Agnes snorted. It deserved it.

If you don’t swear at the sight in front of you for the first time, then that person must be a strange person.

The orcs that I had cut down by dozens were approaching the winter castle in corps.

From a rough guess, it seems like there are thousands of them.

The air of the castle was churning.

“Did I say what winter is?”

A feeling of exaltation took over my body. It sounded like he was screaming that he wanted to run rampant at any moment.

Bell murmured. pointing to the orc.

“Those are our winters.”

**

The guides clinging to the wall caught their breath. I followed Bell to the Count’s place.

“The Count.”

“I came.”

The Count stroked the beard on his chin. It doesn’t grow that much so it looks rough.

“The day I went was a market day. I didn’t know that winter would come with you after you came.”

“Is it war?”

“Winter is harsh, but sometimes it passes quickly. I hope this war can be like that.”

The noisy fortress became quiet in an instant.

It seemed that everyone was ready. The Count got up.

He held a huge spear in his hand.

A huge iron spear that makes you wonder if you can wield it.

“for now… I should say hello to the hard winter that has come.”

Saying so, the Count took a stance. He used to lift a spear that looked 2m tall with one hand.

“Suck!”

threw it away

👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

The iron bars tear the sky apart. Throwing that gigantic spear with one hand.

I felt the power of the Count once again.

“Okay, as expected, my arms tingle after throwing.”

The Count shook off his arm as he watched the spear fly away.

The man in front of him is the man who has been through such winters.

The owner of the winter castle. Dietrich Cardia.

bang!

Explosions burst through the green waves.

The window bounces off with a bang. Among the Orcs, the one that was unusually large blocked the spear of the Count.

“Hey, it looks like you made the right decision.”

“Found the Orc Road!”

At the same time as the Count exclaimed, the guides shouted.

Orc Rodra. do you have a name like that

I stared at the guy. A guy who can’t hide his life and looks at the Count.

That guy’s neck is mine. The blood was boiling. My heart was beating wildly. For the first time, just like when you hunted orc warriors.

The murderous intent and intent that touches my skin makes me warm. But I endured. I desperately suppressed my energy.

‘It’s not the time yet.’

Not yet.

**

Even after being hit by the spear of the Count, the Orcs did not move.

They just stand firm in their place.

Thus, the exhibition situation continued. After appearing once, the Orc Lords never made their presence known again.

They seemed to have no intention of moving at all.

As the day passed, the commanders’ mouths became busy.

“The orcs don’t appear to want to invade.”

“Would we rather wipe them out?”

“It’s possible, but it will cause great damage to the troops.”

They both looked like they didn’t understand each other.

Needless to say, if you drag it into a long-term battle like this, the damage is greater on the Orc side.

Humans can endure hunger, but monsters cannot.

Furthermore, in the situation in which the Orc Lord appeared, one could suspect that it was a trap.

However, no matter how much the guides scouted, they could not find any other traces.

“Twitter.”

I chewed the barley bread while biting my tongue. The barley bread, which was cold and even hard, had no taste.

In my heart, I was hoping they would move.

The hot body cools down. I didn’t want to miss the clue I had just found.

‘But it’s impossible to say let’s just rush in.’

Basically I am an outsider. its location should not be forgotten.

The gaze is directed towards the green waves. The waves were quiet, not befitting the name.

Green is the darkest of all greens.

Oak Road.

Orc Lord is literally a king.

Bell explained it that way. A unique entity capable of commanding orcs without intelligence.

Its brutality and intelligence are better than orcs and humans combined.

So when the Orc Lord shows up, you always have to add tension to the tension, Bell said.

‘Axius.’

[why. I don’t think you’re going to ask me about the Orc Lord.]

‘You’re quick to notice.’

Acius cursed me. I passed because I was used to it.

[Green skin. The bastards I want to kill right now. They’re junk that doesn’t exist in the brain except for battle. It’s not that different from being their king.]

‘It’s said to have the intelligence of a human and the ferocity of an orc.’

[Do you think there is a difference between eating bread right away and thinking about eating it?]

‘Well… I do not know.’

[That’s the difference. tactics? strategy? Of course, it’s not unusual. Even considering that, an orc is an orc.]

A vicious, greedy monster. Its essence does not change at all, Accius said.

There was a lot of disgust in Aksius’s tone when he said that.

I asked him why he hates orcs so much.

[It’s dirty. It’s messy.]

‘ah… .’

[Above all, they are ugly.]

When I saw the faces of the orcs, I automatically understood.

It’s definitely not a race that’s hard to like.

**

Second day of confrontation.

They started attacking intermittently. The guides are busy with the incoming attacks divided into units.

Peeing.

The arrow cuts through the air. The orcs below the wall screamed and fell.

Boo woo woo!

The trumpet blew loudly. The orcs were running again. The pure white snow was buried in the green waves.

They approached the wall with ladders on their shoulders. Other orcs raised their shields to protect the orcs who had climbed the ladder.

widely.

Ladders were hung over the wall. The knights pushed the ladder and cut it with an auror.

Ping, Ping!

The walls were filled with the sounds of protesters pulling and unraveling. A rain of arrows fell on the dark green river.

The white snowfield has turned green, and now the red flowers have bloomed.

q

Despite the struggles of the guides, the wall was hooked.

The soldiers of Winter Castle were obviously elite.

There were not enough people to completely block the orcs surrounding the wall.

wow!

The orcs climbed the ladder as they roared.

The guides’ bowstrings headed towards the orc climbing the ladder.

The orcs who could not lift the shield fell to the floor without doing anything, and became food for the red flowers.

So the situation continued. The orcs died screaming.

However, there were more living orcs than dead orcs.

They never gave up. He climbed the ladder as if climbing the wall was his mortal mission.

Again, I was surprised that this wasn’t a proper attack. Even after fighting like this, the orcs did not think of shrinking.

Still over there, the dark green waves were watching us quietly.

And, among them, there must be an Orc Road.

I fiddled with my sword. The orc was cut and covered in blood, but in my eyes he was clean.

All I want is the blood of the Orc Lord. I just want to cut off his neck and scatter his blood on the snowy field.

I have thoughts that I would not normally do.

Life was expressed freely. Blood rushed through his veins, and his heart raced.

The scent of the battlefield filled his body with a sense of exaltation.

woo much!

Suddenly, the orc warrior who climbed the wall raised a large club.

I looked up at the guy. Agnes shouted.

“Deron!”

spatula.

I swung my sword, enjoying this uplifting feeling. He shuddered at his neat footwork that was incomparable to the past.

thump, thump.

I heard my heart beating. The smell of blood gushing out from all directions was fragrant.

My body energized me as if it wanted something like this.

A body completely out of bounds screams.

Give me blood right now. seems to say so

[Ask who are you?]

The voice you hear the moment you close your eyes to purify your energy.

The moment when I was struck by an energy different from Aksius.

woo!!!

king of orcs. A size different from that of ordinary oaks.

while unleashing the fighting spirit.

Oak Road. the guy moved

Seeing the guy roar, I raised an eyebrow.

finally.
