Golden Experience

In a large, luxurious room, this and only luxurious chairs are arranged in a circular and multiplexing manner.

This is a conference room on the first floor of the Royal Castle in the Kingdom of Hills.

Usually this place is open to church officials and others for a fee to use for religious meetings, but on this day it was also used in important meetings where the heavy towns of the state are also present. The prestigious bishops, including the general bishop of the Hills Episcopal Church, also based in this city, from the Church, participated in the conference.

"─ There was a commission. It looks like a new" Enemy of Humanity "has been created"

The venue trembles at the words of the Archbishop. Thomas, refraining for escort at the wall, felt the stirring of the people on the floor tremble his body as if it were an actual vibration. It was such a shock to the people in this room. That was the same for Thomas, who was only one soldier.

Enemy of mankind. Six catastrophes. Something that brings despair. The dehumanization of the killing.

There are a number of abominable nomenclatures, and they actually refer to the same.

Seiyuan Castle, which exists in the Western continent. I hear that the true ancestors of the castle (True Vampires) are seated in the wretched castle.

Ice giant wall crystal wall at the northern pole. Behind it is said to be sealed a golden dragon that used to emerge from a place even higher than the sky in the ancient days of Tai.

In the Great Tree Sea on the southern continent, there is supposedly a gate that leads to the demonic realm, and it seems that the Great Demonic dominates the land.

In the Far East there is an island country inhabited by outsiders, whose ruler is the king of insects.

The Greater Aegil Ocean, the world's largest sea separating its far eastern island nations from this central continent. I hear at the bottom of it is the king of all the sea champions and fishermen.

And unknown where in the world, Sky Castle known only by its name. On its throne, the archangels who reign over the abominable angels conquer the lower realm.

"Oh my God...... So, where are you? Where is the new disaster..."

"─ This is the continent. God said it was born in the Reeve Great Forest, close to the city of Airfaren, at the eastern end of this kingdom of Hills."

"Ooh...... No way."

"Such...... Such…"

A participant nodded, a participant looked up to heaven, and a participant fell out of his chair. But the sentiment common to all of them is despair.

That is no exception to Thomas. The flagged spear in your hand is also likely to be removed.

I had no idea that the enemies of mankind would appear on this continent.

Until now, there has been no such thing as an enemy of mankind in this central continent. It can also be said that it has thus developed. Because of the deal, it seems certain that people live on other continents, islands, etc., but civilization is not as developed as this central continent. The reason for this is that it is a difficult environment to survive first before enriching your life or anything else.

The major reason for this is the six catastrophes.

I hear that demons and beasts are activated by their presence, and that there are individuals there that are so powerful that they are not comparable to that of this continent. It is another dream of improving the living environment in such a way.

For a central continent without the dwelling of such six catastrophes, long speaking of natural enemies, it was about the angels of Sky Castle who appeared and raided like whims. The damage is certainly enormous, but it's not always transient and I live right next door all the time. Hence came more abundantly than any other continent.

But such a privileged environment seems like it has been.

Worst of all, not that the six catastrophes have migrated or anything, but that they have been born anew. What was the Six Catastrophes has become the Seven Catastrophes. Simply put, the overall crisis level in the world has risen. Therefore, we cannot expect any other assistance.

"... in the past, there is no record that we have been able to crusade disaster. But again, there is no record of having challenged a newborn disaster. Now, maybe, not yet..."

"... right. If it's like a newborn baby. Now the crusade could be done!

"Arrange a crusader immediately!

In contrast to the feverish conference hall, Thomas felt his blood go down.

Crusaders?

Who the hell are you talking about? It's not like the people who are speaking are going there. It's impossible for them to fight directly.

If so, it is Thomas and his soldiers who go there and confront the disaster.

I'm not kidding. Because a disaster was created on the edge of the country, it doesn't mean you're going to die right now. Then who would want to go out of their way to be killed first?

But I'm here, apart from talking about nobles and other ruling knights. They will not die unless their lord and nobleman are harmed. Joining the Knights means that instead of swearing allegiance to your lord and bringing that life together, you will be open from a single death.

In most cases, a subordinate knight is more combative than a master nobleman. No matter how many times my lord is protected, I don't feel comfortable depositing my whole life in something more vulnerable than myself. Especially when they often die in places that have nothing to do with combat, such as power struggles.

There are therefore few soldiers who want to join the Knights, and only people like a family of knights who dedicate their allegiance from generation to generation or slaves who no longer have a choice but to do so swear allegiance.

All you have to do is make those knights turn around. That way, we can go on offense without thinking about human damage or anything. But at the same time, Thomas knew it would never come true. The Knights are the armor that protects their nobility. Oh, and there's no way we're pulling them away from ourselves. There can't be nobles who go to their own places of death.

The soldier's term of office is roughly three years. The Knights, who are supposed to be professional soldiers, are all private soldiers of the royal nobility. The system of conscription is therefore indispensable for the stability of military forces as a country and the maintenance of security.

Thomas also till last year plowed the fields in a local village. It was a poor but peaceful life. In other words, the term of office is still nearly two years. As far as Thomas knows, there has never been a war or anything else on this continent, so even when it came to being conscripted, there was only about this form of escort, relaxation, or standing at the entrance of a city or something. That's what this is about.

Thomas cursed the end of the meeting in an even more desperate mood than when he heard the news of the birth of the disaster.

"Okay. That's it. Let me tell the king. Can I ask you to root for each side?

I'll take care of it, Prime Minister.

"This is a crisis for humanity as a whole. While we still have winning eyes, we have to take all the hands we can."

Conferences dance, but don't move on. Without that, conclusions were drawn and countermeasures worked out at an alarming rate of speed.

The collaboration of the exchangers, who set just one goal and worked well together, was excellent.

In other words, the goal is to solve the problem by dedicating sacrifices - conscripted civilians.

The more you say that you were conscripted if you were meant to be, the more you need the consent of yourself and your family to be put on an overly dangerous assignment. But it is also unavoidable to counter the global crisis of "the birth of the seventh calamity," until a new draft special law on wartime has been prepared on this occasion and is voted on by free pass in the next debate. Besides, they're also supposed to pass laws that can only be described as nightmares for civilians, such as re-conscripting former soldiers for full tenure or lowering the age of conscription.

From halfway through, Thomas was fleeing reality thinking about how he could get his local family out of the country in peace.

The debate is over and the history of the useful aristocracy in the country is withdrawn. Thomas shut up and opened the door, bowing his head and dropping it off.

Only the archbishops and bishops of the Episcopal Church of Hills will remain in the conference room.

"Dear Archbishop...... Well, you don't seem to float, do you...?

"... Yep. What are the enemies of mankind…"

"Yes, what is the enemy of mankind...?

"I wonder if the enemies of mankind are enough enemies of mankind for the first time when they have become so... I mean, what can I say... If you were born and are still weak, wouldn't there ever be a divine descent with the enemies of mankind, etc... By the time the divine trust was revealed, it had already been completed as the enemy of mankind..."

The bishops silenced. However, we can no longer override the conclusions of earlier meetings. No, it doesn't change the fact that dark clouds are stuck in the country's future where the conclusion has changed that it will be static, etc. because it is unlikely to defeat it. The enemies of mankind are the kind of people who seem to get their hands on this one, but go around killing nearby human species from one end to the other. It wouldn't be that damaging if the distance was away, but he's in the country. Even if you quote sweetly, at least the Kingdom of Hills will disappear from the continental map.

Looking at the nodding bishops, Thomas, who had stopped thinking about it already, was just wondering if he could leave early.
