Raydor Holy Sword War Journal

130. Killing streets

A street runs east and west of the Kingdom of Zain.

The road from King's Landing to the eastern part of the kingdom was usually an aorta of logistics for many pedestrians.

However, since the beginning of the war with the Alsline Empire, people have disappeared from the streets.Occasionally, refugees who had lost their homes as a result of the war, or mercenaries who, on the contrary, had made war a breeding ground, drowned in idle air.

There are men and women walking east to west on such a quiet street.

Men dressed more like martial arts.Hanging a sheathed sword on her waist, she is weaving a grey coat over worn clothes everywhere.

Women looked more like priests.He was wearing a white suit with a simple design.My head is covered with a hood so I can't see my face clearly, but silver hair is hidden from the hood.

I wonder if it's pilgrims and escorts walking around churches in different countries.

In the teachings of the "Holy Church" in the north of the continent, it is said that priests need strength not only to be clean, but also to be able to confront difficulties.

For this reason, the practice of pilgrimage to the region to strengthen the body and mind was incorporated into the doctrine, and the appearance of these pilgrims was often seen in streets and workplaces.

"This country is quite quiet....."

A female pilgrim wearing a hood raised her head and snapped.

I looked around, but there was no one there except men and women.Only men and women walk on the wide streets.

"Well, it's during the war.It's not impossible, is it?

A man who looks like an escort replies in a tone that doesn't seem to matter.

A man with black hair tied behind his head was still young and well dressed, but his mouth was full of insensitive beards.The disgusting personality appeared on the portrait, and both eyes were dyed with a lazy color.

"But the war should already be over.Heard there was a rapprochement between the kingdom and the empire?

"Well, yes, but... that's not official information yet, is it?There is no reason to go on a path that may be dangerous if you look at it from a commoner or merchant with no source.I don't know what kind of danger there is. "

"... even after the battle, will people still feel safe?We still need to spread the teachings of the righteous God and bring peace to the people. "

The woman snapped in a serious tone and squeezed the long cane she held in one hand.

"Witches of Disasters, Plagues, Monsters, and Doom… There are many enemies in this world that threaten the survival of mankind.And yet, why do humans have to fight each other?Why can't I take a hand and face the difficulties... I really suffer from understanding. "

"... that must be human business.In any age, there won't be any more fighting. "

A man answers to a pilgrim tone by sharpening his lips.

"Everyone likes peace.But I think we have to fight to get that peace.You can only show your peace by ripping each other off and competing.There's no escape from it more than human beings. "

"... I'm sad.It's sad, because if everyone follows God's teachings correctly, there will be no more strife. "

The pilgrim shook his head slowly, lamenting.

Though the man may not be so simple, he dares not deny his employer's words and looks in the direction of the day after tomorrow.

"Still spreading the teaching even when it comes to strength... but forced missionary will instead cause a struggle, no, but..."

Pilgrims continue without stopping their feet as they snap.

Apparently, it's the usual thing, and the escort man doesn't seem to care about it, but he keeps going after it... he folds his eyebrows and hugs the pilgrim's shoulders.

Excuse me for a second.

Heh?

The man guides the pilgrim to the edge of the road.

After a while, the sound of the earth rang from behind them.Soon the sound that gets bigger and bigger will become so huge that it can be called a roar.

The source of the sound was a thousand-strong army.

A cavalry riding a horse from east to west runs through the street.A little later, the soldiers on foot ran on.

Pilgrims who marched past the edge of the road sighed briefly.

"A soldier pulled up from the eastern border?Looks like the war between the kingdom and the empire is really over. "

"... no, I don't know.It's not like that. "

"Is there anything that bothers you?

When asked by pilgrims, the man wrinkles between his eyebrows and answers with a difficult expression.

"Those soldiers... they were killing each other.The battle is over, so let's go. "

The guard stares at the back of the soldiers heading west.

It was the face of a runaway soldier, but it was uniformly tightened to battle.It was a sword-like expression that would soften the war from now on, and it did not look like the face of a soldier returning home after the battle.

"Especially... the man who was leading the horse.That would be pretty good. "

A man holds a sword in his hips and shivers his fists.

At the forefront of the army was a young man on the border between boys and youth, but in a blink of an eye it became clear that he was a warrior with exceptional combat abilities.

If you're going to fight, if you don't, you're going to be killed.It must be a fierce battle to cut each other's lives.

"If that's what you said, then yes.It looks like dark clouds are emerging.Let's hurry, Yamato-sama. "

"Yes, yes, I understand... Lord Orleans"

With a gentle exchange of words, the men and women walked again to the west.

The steps on the ground were the same as before, but there was a dark feeling of anxiety in their hearts.

And the army that ran aforetime was headed toward the kingdom of the kingdom of Zain from the direction.

What is going on in King's City, where the war is supposed to be over?Unfamiliar and disturbing hunches stroked the spine of the two.
