Episode 129: The Village of Freshman Godard

Six months after the start of the Estfort development, the construction of the facilities planned in the First Development Plan was completed. The three-guild joint facility for hunters, the Hunter's Nest, also opened Lana's treatment division, which had been crawling with hunters day after day. Hunters coming to Estfort were predominantly intermediate or higher hunters with the southern region as their hunting ground.

There were two regular carriages a day to Godard village, a relay base, but a sweep operation led by Kerstin led by 'Black Bullet (Black Barrett)' had swept away demons near the streets and increased flights to six a day.

Next, the training grounds and dormitories of the Red War Maiden (Red Valkyrie) were completed, and the current members of the active hunting group moved from the barracks to each dormitory room, and the recruitment of the suspended new hunting group members was resumed. There were about thirty new recruiting slots, but all the women who heard rumors participated. Giuliana consulted Lydiane and decided to increase the recruitment frame by up to fifty.

This was due to the fact that Juliana and Lydiane decided that their intensively trained daughters would be fully used as PL (party leaders).

As a result, the Red Warmaiden (Red Valkyrie) became a giant hunting group with as many as two hundred and fifty demon hunters as a female-only hunting group. However, it is only possible to belong to this hunting group until HR20, and when HR20 arrives, it is a system that allows people to choose their own independent, hunting group transfer, hunting group instructors, military personnel, etc. First of all, independence is literally creating new hunting groups and parties with members who grew up together in the Red War Maiden (Red Valkyrie). When enrolled in Red Warfare Maiden (Red Valkyrie), clothing and accommodation are guaranteed, so some people save funds and become independent.

Next, I will be granted a promotion/transfer to the Red Bride (Crimson Bride) and Black Bullet (Black Barrett), my direct graduate hunting group, although I am a hunter. Promotions to 'black bullets' were mainly fundamental, but if there were any other offers from other hunting groups, they would have them transferred after confirming their intentions.

Hound instructors also have selection exams, but if they pass, they will be asked to help escort and train newcomers as instructors for the Red War Maiden (Red Valkyrie). I've heard that a rough member is aiming for this hunting coach.

One last soldier. This also affects the fact that the Red Warmaiden (Red Valkyrie) serves as an engine for the generation of female soldiers and officers. This one will be taken by those who have fallen into the selection exam for the Hound Instructor. This one also has a selection exam for soldiers and officers, and the best in the exam are recruited by the Estfort Army for officer treatment.

Thus, the Red Warfare Maiden (Red Valkyrie) began to function as a female talent agency. Giuliana also seemed to feel alive to the growth of the members to whom she belonged.

The Estfort Army also moved their residency from the former garrison to the barracks due to the completion of the barracks. Initially, the military was planned within the Great Defensive Wall, but changed its plans, and was built in a way that protruded from the South Gate as a roundabout dressed like a small castle built in the shape of a stick-out from the main castle. This is due to an opinion that demon gun range can be used effectively when surrounded by a large group of demons.

This brought the military to a size that could accommodate 5,000 people significantly more than the volume of 2,500 originally planned. In this stood Nanbu, various training centers, and barracks.

Condorato also expects my army to increase, so he said the wider army was wishful. A thousand soldiers now have money coming out of the treasury, so they also succeeded in using the floating money to recruit about two hundred people as private soldiers from the Central Army.

Finally, the Orphan Southern Transfer Plan, planned in Lydiane's proposal, also mobilized the dedication of orphanage officials in the Wang capital and the Red Warfare Maiden (Red Valkyrie) as escorts, with a total of one thousand and four hundred people moving to my Estfort, including nine hundred orphans and five hundred orphanage natives and orphanage officials, although the injured and sick came out.

So quickly, I decided to accommodate them in the barracks of the old garrison that the soldiers and hunters had pulled away and give them as a place of life. Orphans will be encouraged to study and work while living together in barracks between the ages of five and fifteen, men and women who have decided they can withstand the southern transfer.

The adult orphanage natives were given barracks, just like the orphans, and decided to introduce them to various jobs. I think it will all depend on his efforts later, but in case anyone does anything wrong, I'm going to send him to Akvez's training team to get his guts fixed.

Lydiane, who saw this result, hailed it as a thank you, has offered a black leather collar. It is said that this is a ritual of vowing obedience to those who are absolutely obedient as their masters in the ritual of servitude of the Kaluro Wolf species.

I put a collar on Lydiane's neck for you. I was so upset about the collar but I decided to put up with it because it was in front of the orphans. Later, I decided in my heart to call him outdoors and make him ann.

And the rescue team that sent him to Fort Ferguard drew to Garbay to give him the resignation of the defensive captain appointed by his father-in-law. Garbay reacted well. He was no more than a corporal in the garrison, and the soldiers under him were pleased to learn that he had been promoted to the rank of defensive captain in the general class. Garbay's defensive captain was appreciative of maintaining discipline as a combat group in the defeated gathering area and defending Fort Ferguard until today.

It may have also had a good impact by adding to him that he would be in charge of the defensive team's personnel rights when he was assigned to the defensive captain. The cadet class was fleeing when Garvey fled with the defectors to Fer 'ad, and he, the corporal, was at the top of the list. For convenience, he had no choice but to command the competent from among the soldiers and corporals as officers, and he was pleased to be able to appoint them as official officers.

Garbay's army had grown into an elite combat group more than Estfort's, as they had been actively hunting demons around the streets to Fer 'ad since the onslaught. Thanks to this, I have also heard from dispatchers that they did not see any demons in the streets between Godard and Fer 'ad. Also, the relative stability of the Gate of the Universe (Abyss Gate), the largest space-time rift (crack) to the Universe of the Real Demonic Kingdom, is considered to be one of the reasons why Fer 'ad was not wiped out.

My father-in-law told me that the Gate of the Universe (Abyss Gate), further south than Fer 'ad, is swarmed with exotic creatures to act as gatekeepers in the vicinity where it is always connected to the other world. By the way, Arshella Dorman, the seventh demon king of Lina and Lana's ancestors, is famous as the demon king who opened this gateway (Abyss Gate).

After the Gathering of the Demon Wars - when he took office as Demon King, he activated a wide area large-scale junction to avoid being invaded again from the people's continent. Junction magic succeeds. Only a very limited number of straits in the east travel from the human continent to the demonic continent. This prevented people from invading, but the by-products of witchcraft opened permanent points with the other world.

This is what they call the Abyss Gate. The Real Demon Kingdom succeeded in eliminating an enemy called a human race, but instead held an enemy called a heretic creature inside.

Arshella Dorman was told by her father-in-law that she had been pursued by the Demon King in pursuit of her responsibilities and that she had been stopped from returning to kingdom aristocracy in perpetuity. Therefore, it is said that the Dorman family cannot become a nobleman, no matter how much financial or power they possess.

Due to the presence of Abyss Gate, the south has been left out of development for many years and has been treated as a frontier. The fortress in Abysvena was also created to prevent demons, alien creatures, warcraft, etc. from entering the kingdom in the south. And Fort Ferguard was built to monitor the Gates of the Universe (Avisgate).

I decided to entrust an important base to a man named Garvey who seemed like a hero in a war memorial. I am also curious to see how a man who is only a corporal has put up the wreckers to defend his stronghold and sharpen his soldiers. This decree made me part of the Confederate Army, but if I could, I'd like to pull it out of my sights.

I just can't abandon the possibility of a man whose men like Gertrude were just excellent, so I decided to go see him.

If I leak when I go to Fort Ferguard, Condorato starts saying, "Let me accompany 300 men as escorts," and Miriams says, "I can't believe Kent's into men! I wonder if there was a clue to your work 'or something. I started making noise and couldn't seem to clean it up.

Somehow, when I told everyone what I intended, Condorato said, 'Why don't you visit me in the name of a hunting trip?' He suggested.

Riding on Condorato's suggestion, he decided to take Arne's cavalry from the army with members of the "Red Bride (Crimson Bride)", excluding Annabella and Carly, who weighed in, and Lana, the director of the division, and a group of about sixty people, all the way to Fort Ferguard.

My mother-in-law asked me to represent her at work with a promise of physical service because she had a pile of work on her way back and because Nicoyaka told me. Apparently my mother-in-law was expecting my response. She took it on in two replies.

I decided to get ready immediately and set off for Fort Ferguard.

It took a day from Estfort to go south down the street to the village of Godard, but the demons near the street had been drastically reduced due to the success of the Kerstins sweep operation. If this is all the demons are dwindling, maybe we can also start logging woods that seem easy to accumulate magic vegetables.

"Millie, that's a big difference from when you came forward. When I went to Godard before, I saw demons roaming around."

"Right. A rare situation in recent years. I've never seen so many demons in the South... and I've never seen them before."

Only within sight of the carriage, but the demons were invisible and the view in the windows was a vast undeveloped wilderness.

"Akbes said the land was fertile and the cultivars grew fast enough to harvest many times a year in this southern region. As long as we hunt down the mighty demons, we'll be able to produce Estfort and Avisvena food around here as barn zones..."

"What!? Is Kent going to develop the southern region?

Millie looked surprised when she was listening next door.

"In the future, though. I thought we needed food to grow the population in the south. If Estefort's population grows, we can't even think about food self-sufficiency, because I don't like drying when we get into a fight with the Kingsville people."

"What time is Kent not serious... Lina... did Kent eat anything bad?

"Oh, sister. Sure, Kent puts the erotic thing first, but he's also a surprisingly serious lord..."

Thank you. My wives' ratings on lords seem to be generally low. In fact, I thought I had no choice because the government threw a round at my mother-in-law, the military threw a round at Condorato, and what I was doing was about sealing in the office.

"Well, it's only a concept. In the meantime, would you like me to hang on to the Hunter Guild near the street and have the hunting grounds designated undesignated? Because I cleaned it up so beautifully, I hope you don't mind me accumulating magic vegetables again with massive magic."

"Right. I'll keep an announcement for the Alliance."

"Oh, just do me a favor when you get home. Millie."

That's when I saw the village of Godard up ahead. Although it was a village abandoned by Akvez by black dogs (Black Dock), it was now being developed as a relay base for hunters using the southern region as their area of activity.

"Er... you're tremendously more fortified than you were before. I heard the hunter helped us, but it's like a castle fort. It even has fine walls and trenches..."

The village of Godard, visible from afar, was replaced by a stone barrier stacked on top of the earth base from the fence of a poor phase tree when it first visited, and the shallow and narrow trenches more than doubled in width and appeared to be of considerable depth.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the entrance to the village of Godard.

The gate had also transformed from a wooden fence that was miserable to a castle gate where the smell of trees remained. Eventually, when the gate opened, Akvez appeared.

"Dear Hall, I've been waiting for you. Godard has been rebuilt by the hunters. Nearly a hundred people are currently settled, and merchants are also starting to visit to buy materials. Back in the day, it was only about a convoy to Fort Ferguard, but now the carriages of hunters and merchants are about to cross."

"You've changed a lot in a very short time. I know the previous village of Godard, and I don't think it's another village."

"I rebuilt myself at an alarming rate of speed. Fortunately, stone cuttings were secured nearby, and we were able to consolidate our defences. I think if we put a guard with a demon gun here, we'll be able to stand it for a while, even if we're surrounded by quite a few demons."

Akbes has turned to me with a smile that raised the joy of the resurrection of the village he opened himself. He understood the power of Aida's crafted demon gun and was urging the Godard youth to master the [Musketeer] job. Regardless, they don't want him to master the Godard tradition of [bowmen], but they think that medium range is a demon gun, and close range is a way to separate bows from usage.

However, the system of mass production of demon guns is not yet in place and there are not enough demon guns to supply, but if the demon guns were mass produced, we planned to give priority to Godard Archers, Frist's direct graduate team, along with gun cavalry.

"Right. I'm asking Hunter to escort me now, but I might have to place a guard. I was thinking of it as a place of refuge. If our defenses have hardened to this point, maybe we could use it as a defensive base."

Then Manon, who was listening nearby, spoke to me.

"Dear Kent, I was shown AK-MK01 the other day when I helped clean up the Black Bullet (Black Barrett), but I think it would be a lot of defense if we put the array on the wall here. I think it would be better if we set it up for these defenses because it's heavy."

"Oh, that one. That's the demon gun you copied from my blast gun spear, Exploded Gun Lance, right?

"What Lord Manon said about AK-MK01 is the high-speed firing mechanism of your gun spear? I heard a prototype was made, but I didn't know it was put into action..."

As Manon said, AK-MK01, copied by Aida, was put into sweep operations to make sure it was user-friendly in action. Kerstin's report said he couldn't handle the shooting properly without a strong, fairly solid gun rack, but the power was impeccably overkill power against demons.

So while Aida is prototyping AK-MK02, which slowed down the firing speed and made it lighter, I was wondering if it would be possible for the performance test to deploy it to this Godard.

"I'm going to try to set up an improved model here for testing purposes. There 'll be quite a few demons over at night, won't there?

"Yes, you'll come outside the trenches. It is therefore forbidden to go out at night"

"Then you're going to be able to test it. I'll hang on to Aida from me, so I'll deploy the prototype when it's done. But it's time for Akbes to come back to Estfort and lead the training team."

"Ha. It is difficult to leave, but I have entrusted my life to your house. Therefore, I will not tell you. For a while, I'll leave the land to Lord Soumei of the Hand of Glory, who has been asked to escort me."

Soumei would like to thank us (the Black Daggers) for our job in the manufacture of ammunition, and this request for Godard Village Defense was also undertaken at a lower fee than the market.

"Mr. Soumei would be relieved. Because he's the one who can calmly judge unless his hair is cut."

"Kent, I'm always calm. The sorcerer must remain calm and settled under all circumstances."

Mr. Soumei appeared from behind Akbes as he twisted his restored hair. I always say calm in person, but would it be too much of a thought for me to think I was obviously disturbed when my hair was cut?

"This, Mr. Soumei, is hard work. I'm glad you took this request."

"We're getting financial help from Kent, too. Thanks to my job, I am also thankful to the newcomers for their magic compositions... don't hesitate."

Mr. Soumei has also made a steady income thanks to his internal job and embarked on the development of a new recruit. And they trained the rookies on this defense request. Because of the magician's professional hunting group, it was determined that hunting demons at the base was safer, and that Godard's rapid fortification was due to the failure to destroy support and demons from junctional magic until walls and water trenches could be secured.

"I hear the Soumeys were hunted quite a few too. Fine, didn't you moisten it?

"Well, that's about it. But I think they're gonna disappear for the cost of the magic compositions of the grown rookies. We're all growing up."

"Then I'll let you use the discounted privileges of the sorcerer's guild's sorcery composition that we have as an extra reward for this one. The director of the Sorcerer's Guild said he'd give you a discount if you had it in stock until you were intermediate."

Mr. Soumei's complexion changed to the extra reward I offered.

"Kent... is that story true? Oh, well. Your daughter-in-law had a Dorman sister. Then I won't hesitate to let you use it when you've completed your request."

"Please, we don't have many dedicated magicians."

"Looks like we've cleared up the reward thing, Lord Soumey. I'll take care of the rest."

"Oh, Lord Akbes. I'll take care of the rest."

Thus, the role of partitioning the village of Godard was transferred to Soumei, and Akbes decided to return to Estfort.

Later, as we inspected the village of Godard, we saw a lot of material buyers, all of whom were presenting trading permits in force by the Blackdagger family.

This is a testament to the fact that the village of Godard was recognized as the territory of the Black Dagger family and therefore had the right to litigate in the land. In other words, if you don't have a permit when you get into trouble with Hunter here, you will cry and fall asleep, so the merchants bought a permit. That way, your mother-in-law advertised that the Black Daggers would go into arbitration even if you got in trouble.

On the other hand, the hunters are also trying not to hold deals with merchants who don't have trading permits. At the time of issuing the permit, traders such as the amount of funds, purchase performance, etc. will also undergo a background check before it enters into force, so Moguri traders will be expelled and hunters will be able to trade safely.

As a result, they haven't had any trouble buying or selling materials so far.

"If both the merchants and the hunters profit, there won't be a fight."

"Kent's right. But some buyers will buy it higher than the Hunter Guild if it's a bundled quantity. I hope I can't rub it with the Hunter Guild..."

"The story of the buying merchant goes through the Hunter Guild, and it's okay, right? They're buying it at the Estefort facility, and the hunters are just disposing of the stubborn items."

According to Akbes, hunters also know that rare materials can be sold higher if they are flushed into guilds, so materials sold to buyers focus on generic materials that are in high demand. The buyers also know that hunters do not give out rare materials, so they buy mainly medium and lower grade materials with high demand.

"If you're able to live with the Alliance, fine. Be careful, that guild master over there is a pain in the ass when he bends the heso."

Millie has known the Hunter Guild Guildmaster for many years, so she was particularly concerned about this time with the buyer. When the Black Dagger family's income also accounted for nearly half of the profits from the sale of materials, he was worried about having a source that he could rub with his big business partner Hunter Guild.

"Oh, I'm not gonna rub it with my guild either."

"Fine then."

Then, after the inspection, we decided to stay at the agent's mansion, which was rebuilt where it was formerly Akvez's house. However, a total of sixty people could not be accommodated, so Arne's cavalry members were asked to camp in the garden.

And the next day we left for Fort Ferguard.
