The northern part of the continent is generally said to be a force zone of the Vashtarian Community.

The Vashtarian Community is one of the forces that divides the continent and is known as the most cohesive force. It is said to be a community of life around the Vashtara Church, which worships the Supreme God Vashtara as the only God and preaches the teachings of God, and that more than 90% of the human beings to whom it belongs are Vashtaras. He says he worships Vashtara God Himself for the remaining 10%.

Vashtara, about five hundred years ago, was a God who came to believe like he had come down and sprung up, but he had gathered the faith of many as an alternative to the dragon that had long been believed. And that's not limited to the northern part of the continent. Vashtara's teachings are beginning to penetrate from the northern part of the continent to the southern part of the continent, and believers are also increasing in the northern part of the Zaion Empire and in the northern part of the Kingdom of Holy Deal, he said.

Although the Empire did not forbid the very teachings of Vashtara, the increase in Vashtara followers forbade missionary activity in imperial territory, fearing that something would appear that would lead to Vashtaria. If you want to believe in Vashtara, head to the Vashtarian sphere of power, is a commonly spoken word in imperial territory. I guess it is not the emerging god of the northern earth that the people of the Empire should believe in, but the starting emperor Hain, who is the ancestor of the Empire.

There is a rumor that the Kingdom of the Holy Deal deals with it more harshly than the Empire. The repression of Vashtara followers within the kingdom of Deal is hard to put to the brush and it is also said that King Deal nationals fleeing within the Vashtarian sphere of power will not cease to follow. So much so that the Royal Army is rumored to have wiped out one village stained with Vashtara's teachings from the map.

Most importantly, if I could pepper those rumors, it's not like that.

"There is also the possibility of rumors circulating by the Church to strengthen legitimacy, sir"

Radian-Oldsmile said that while stroking his shaved head, it froze the air in the field. Radian-Oldsmile is a pilgrimage teacher at Vashtara Church. A pilgrimage teacher is a position to make pilgrimages not only within the Vashtarian sphere of power, but also throughout the small group of continental states, to preach to missionary activities and to Vashtara believers living everywhere. In other words, it could be referred to as a small church that moves, and in its role, it was a story of a position in which a person of high standing is appointed within the church. You can't be the face of a church in a low-status person.

Is it okay for a person in such a position to say something that would discredit the Church's reputation?

The White Shield executives, including Kuon, were silent because they had knowledge of Radian's position. And when I mention that word, it is also because harm may be done to me.

The mercenary group White Shield, led by Quon, was now within the boundaries of the Vashtarian community. It's not what I found out where Vashtara Church has eyes and ears. No, I know it's everywhere, like the ears and eyes of the Vashtara Church, and as long as I'm within my sphere of power, I know I shouldn't care about that.

Quon's destination is Raidion, the northernmost capital of the continent, arguably the heart of Vashtara Church. He was convinced that the advice to head north was probably to head for Raydion. If I'm wrong, then all I have to do is go somewhere else. I have time.

But the northern earth is vast. I'm seeing all the sights that are broad and unimaginable. I've encountered strange scenery that I don't think was made very naturally, as long as the plain as I could see it. The frozen corridors, the rainbow mountains, the obsidian towers, the remains of the ancient dragons and so on, were a reminder that this world is completely different from the world in which Quong was born and raised. In particular, the place known as the "carcass of the ancient dragon”, where the carcasses of the 100-metre dragon merged with the earth, was stunning enough to burn into his memory and something that Setuna would surely be pleased to see.

Setuna.

The time to think about him was dwindling day by day. Ever since I was summoned to this world, it's what I've been thinking about him like every day. I couldn't wait to worry about it. Will he be able to do it alone? Can you do it well without your own help? unsolicited worries. Extra savings. I know that. I understand. Still, I couldn't help reaching out. That's what I had to do if I remembered the humble smile I had when I first met him.

But when I realized that the hand I was reaching out to him was actually what I was stretching out for my past self, everything could have blown out. I recognized Setsuna as one person, and I was also able to grasp the sense of distance lying between me and myself. He and I are different creatures.

Understanding awakened Kuon.

Quon no longer worried about Setuna. He has company. I have company, I have a place. So you don't have to worry about anything. He has the strength to overcome any hardship. And in fact, we also hear stories of winning the battle against the Demon King's Army. Setuna's great work resonated all the way to the northern earth.

The alias Dragon Killer Setuna seems to have been known for a long time, but now two new names are spreading as fast as the wind. They also call it 10,000 demons unjust. There are no enemies in Setuna with a black spear.

Quon had to laugh at his lack of sight.

That's how his days pass.

Going north, I kept walking.

Sometimes I fought the Imperial Devil on the road. He was attacked on the move, repelled, or raided during the camp. When you're traveling, you know exactly how safe it is to be in a walled city. As long as you are surrounded by walls, you will not be attacked by the Imperial Devil. Speaking of the reverse, if you step outside the walls, it is under the Emperor's Devil's heavens there, and it is not surprising whenever the Emperor's Devil strikes you.

I often felt that way, especially since I entered the Vashtarian sphere of power, but that might have been the only thing either. It seemed a fact that on this too wide a earth there were numerous Nests of Imperial Demons, which could not be dealt with solely by the Church's Imperial Demon Crusade Unit (apparently called the Holy Punishment Team).

But nothing is more familiar to The White Shield than fighting the Imperial Devil. There was no harm done to the Imperial Demon's sudden assault or damage. If Quon can respond first, there can be no harm. And there's not a single thing in case Quon takes the trouble to roll out the procedure. All he had to do was utter a surgical conclusion to summon that powerful summoning weapon.

Shield of Messiah. The Invincible Shield is synonymous with the White Shield and the Summoning Army that symbolizes Quon.

Not only was he attacked by the Imperial Devil, but he sometimes went out to burn down the Imperial Devil's nest. On the road, listening to information about the Imperial Devil's Nest in the city where he stopped, Quon quickly formed a unit and hurried to the nest.

"No one tells you, no one wants anything, just saves an innocent people - Lord Quon is like a Messiah sent from heaven, sir"

Radian-Oldsmile's untrustworthy words were closer to perception than admiration. That's what he really thinks. That's what makes Kuon like Radian. Remember that there is no private heart, no greed, and all you think about is being good for the Church and reaching out to the needy people for salvation. He said it was the way it should be in what preached God's teachings.

Quon is going to get him in trouble like that.

"To Lyohan, Ka?

"Yeah. I want to go."

The first time Radian showed difficulty was because Quon suddenly said he wanted to go to Lyohan.

Lyohan, an aerial city. It is the only city within the Vashtarian sphere of power that does not accept the teachings of Vashtara and is made up of its own faith. Decades ago, Vashtalia refused to acknowledge Lyohan's discretion and turned to the army. However, the struggle over the years continued to change with Lyohan's dominance all the time, and at last Vashtaria also had to recognize Lyohan's independent autonomy, he said. At that time, it was the goddess of war, Faria-Baldish, who took command at the head of Lyohan, and Faria-Belfaria-Aslalia of Gandia, though her granddaughter.

That must have been because Lyohan is no exaggeration when it comes to the old enemy, if you try him as a pilgrimage teacher at Vashtara Church. Besides, he wants to get the Quons to Raydion as soon as possible. It was only natural to show a difficult color on the stopover. Still, he is a well done man in demonstrating his understanding of the destruction of the Imperial Devil's Nest.

It was out of simple intellectual curiosity that Quon was interested in Lyohan.

"If you are an armed summoner, isn't it a bad idea to worship that main mountain for once?"

Waldo nodded heavily on the seat of the meeting proposed by Kuon. It's hard to imagine Wald-Mastia from a musculoskeletal appearance, but he's a raw armed summoner, a researcher-skinned figure who doesn't fail to study and drill for armed summoning every day. I knew from the beginning that he would agree with this stopover. That's the same with Mana-Ericcia.

"Yeah, I agree with Waldo, too. Because I want to step on the land of Lyohan once."

She gave a glance at her modest but delightful expression. Mana is also a raw armed summoner. There was no way he was interested in Lyohan, which could be considered the main mountain of armed summoning.

"I will go if Quong is going"

Graham and Swiel-Lanagaudi also nodded when Illis offered his consent. It seemed curious about the aerial city of Lyohan itself, whether it be Illis, Graham or Swirl, or not interested in the art of armed subpoena. Not only does it sound like an aerial city, Lyohan says its very existence is a city of historical value. Perhaps even in the sense of spreading the word, it's a place to stop at once.

"You want me to climb the mountain straw?

Only one of the executives, Mirlena, frowned. A former princess of Juwain, she is an executive along with joining the White Shield. Some of them might have wondered from the members, but rather not mixing her with the general regiment was the only way to help save the White Shield from confusion, Quon thought. Many of her bystanders can confuse the group.

"If you don't want to, you can stay, okay? Princess."

"Right, that's good. Let the princess stay here. Forever."

When Waldo and Illis get a chill word, Mirlena rather loosens her expression with joy.

"Lord Waldo and Lord Iris are terrible. You want me to follow you so hard, don't you?

"Why does that happen?"

I don't know.

"Good. Let's go with the wolf. Ugh, Quon. Don't you want Kuon to leave you alone?

"... well, I don't deny it"

"Ho ho. Be honest inside. Good, travel to Lyohan, let's go."

The presence of Mirlena, who in all circumstances penetrates our path, has always been a source of discoloration in the White Shield, a diverse collection of talent.

Anyway, the executive meeting closed the curtain that way.

If the executives agree to go to Lyohan, there is nothing we can do about Radian, who is an outsider. He decided, reluctantly, to follow suit. I guess he has his purpose and can't keep his eyes off Quon until he fulfills it. He is also aware that Quon's safety is guaranteed even when he takes his eyes off Quon. We are witnessing the absolute invincibility of the Shield of Messiah. But still, acting in disregard of orders from above is a consultation that he cannot afford to swear absolute fidelity to the Church. For this reason, going to Lyohan, which can also be considered a hostile force, is not a rush.

Though it was pity on Radians like that, Quon did not try to bend his way. I didn't need it in the first place, such as a guide to Raydion. Being a long journey is something I've been prepared for since I was traveling Zalwarn. And in the course of that long journey, stopping by was also an event within the scope of the assumption.

To Lyohan.

That thought grew because stories popped into my ears about the participation of Lyohan's goddess of war and the four great heavenly samurai (Shiiten) in the war waged by the coalition forces, including Gandia, against Kruselk.

I want to ask the goddesses of war and the four heavenly samurai about Setuna.

First of all, there is that.

I'm glad to say that spreading the word.
