Raydor Holy Sword War Journal

The northernmost town of the Zain Kingdom - Radokhorn.

Facing the North Sea, the town has long been a fishing port for acquiring aquatic resources such as seafood.In recent years, it has prospered as a trading port that connects logistics to the Aterna Kingdom in the west and the Golden Cross God Empire in the north.

Until a short while ago, this town was occupied by a greedy aristocrat named Crowley Lordis, so many injustices spread [Hibiko] and became a hotbed of poison that eroded the kingdom.

However, the "Great Solemnity" carried out by Raydor excluded unjust nobles, and they are now ruled by deputies as the royal territory.

Hmm, it looks like the reconstruction of the town has progressed a lot.

Walking down the main street in the center of the town is a man with a large body and serious rotten faces with glasses - Justy O'Gist.Justy nodded with satisfaction as she looked around at the townscape spreading with her first officer, the Knight.

On the main street, the residents of the town are busy running around, working on restoring buildings and removing sloths.The town was vibrant, and the faces of those engaged in manual labor were regaining their brightness.

Justice once lived in the eastern territories as the son of the Viscount of Ouigista.

However, his father, the Viscount Ouigist, had turned back to the Empire in the previous war, leaving him without a home and territory to inherit.

Currently, he served as Raydor's subordinate and regained his trust by the time he was appointed as a Thousand Knights Commander.

It was not until a month ago that Justy was appointed deputy in this town.It was shortly after the great earthquake that occurred on the night of the "Red Moon".

The great earthquake and the tsunami caused the buildings in which people lived to collapse, and the fishing and trading boats that supported the town's economy were swept away by the waves and disappeared to the bottom of the sea.

The dead and missing amount to 20% of the town's population.The survivors also lost their homes and possessions and got lost in the road.

It was a city of despair, but the tragedy was not over.

There was a conflict between locals living in the town and foreign sailors who came to trade from other countries.

More sailors than usual are humans of a strong and rough temperament.It is even more so when you are upset and distracted by a disaster during your stay in another country.

The confrontation eventually developed into an uprising, and the town of Radockhorn was thrown into further chaos.

However, Raydor led Justy into chaos early on, so the town barely had a lifeline.

Even after the uprising subsided, Justy became a substitute for the town and was engaged in reconstruction work.

"The building has been largely restored."What about food supplies? ”

Justy, who patrolled the town, questioned the lieutenant behind her.

The lieutenant responds to the superior by carefully turning over the paperwork, being careful not to let the sea breeze fly through the bundle of parchment in his hand.

"I have some support supplies from the King's City, so I don't have any problems at the moment."In addition, the town's inhabitants have built small fishing boats to go fishing.The catch is still small, so we're not at a stage where we can support the whole town, but little by little, we seem to be making room for residents. ”

"It's a pleasure." I think I have a good report for Highness Raydor.So... what about the foreigners who live in town? "

Many foreigners lived in Radokhorn, a trading port, and were unable to return home after losing their ships due to the earthquake and tsunami.Many people live with narrow-minded thoughts without being involved in riots.

"The Golden Cross God Empire in the north stands the chance of returning by land.It's a long way off, but the route is connected thanks to friendly relations with the Empire.The problem... is the kingdom of Aterna in the west. "

"It is separated from Aterna by a mountain range.It would be terrible to have them come back by land. "

The Kingdom of Zain and the Kingdom of Aterna have friendly relations through trade, but steep mountain ranges tower over the border between the two countries.In order to move without a ship, you have to climb the mountain at your own risk.

"I'd like you to return by sea while we wait for the trade ship to recover..."

In order to do that, we have to do something about the monsters in the open sea.

…………

Justy and the First Officer all sighed.

Another problem that torments the town of Radkhorn is the appearance of monsters in the sea.

Since the "Red Moon", a large number of monsters have been confirmed in various parts of the continent.

That is no exception at sea.There are monsters such as the mermaid mushroom (Sahagin) and the sea snake [Serpent] in the pelagic sea of Radokhorn.Because of this, trade boats and fishing boats could not go out to sea, and they caught fish in shallow waters where there were no monsters.

Some ships tried to forcefully go out to sea and return to their homeland... but it was confirmed that they were attacked by the sea demon [Kraken] and sank.

"The reconstruction of the town has come to an end... as His Highness Reidor ordered, it's time to start building the" "Navy" "". "

Knight Justy was never ordered to be a deputy in the port town by Raydor's [Miwa Bibiki].

With the reconstruction of the town, Justy was ordered to establish a new "Navy".

Originally, the town of Radokhorn was occupied by nobles, and coastal guards and such were left to the territorial army.Therefore, there is no "navy" in the Zayn Kingdom, and it has abandoned the control of the North Sea.

Fortunately, friendly relations have been established with the Aterna Kingdom and the Golden Cross God Empire, which are connected in the North Sea.

Until now, no major problems had arisen... but Raydor didn't think it was a good idea.

It's not sane to swallow a hoof on top of a peace that never ends.How can you be sure that the country that you believed to be your friend didn't hide the blade behind your back? ”

Raydor said that when he seized Radochorn, an important hub facing the North Sea, from the nobility.

Radochorn, the gateway to the sea, is a trading port and a breakwater when enemies invade from the sea.He claimed that the way he had entrusted such an important base to an aristocrat was strange.

"No one knows what the future will be ten or a hundred years from now.The establishment of the Navy is a supreme proposition that cannot be avoided in order to protect the Kingdom of Zayn. "

Politicians must do their best to protect the country.That was an agreement with Justy.

A new army. It is not easy to create a "Navy" that never existed before.

But... even when she saw the current situation where there were a large number of monsters, Justy was convinced that the Lord was right.

"Fortunately, there is a [reserve] that was stored by his predecessor, Lord Rhodes."In order to meet the expectations of His Highness, who once gave us the opportunity to start over with the Oigist family who had turned against the enemy... we must also do so in order to defeat the monsters and protect the Kingdom of Zayn. "

“Yes, we are already looking for sailors and adventurers.We have plenty of money, and we just have to wait for the ship to be built. ”

Hmm, let's continue the inspection.

Justy and her lieutenant nodded at each other, pointing their feet in the direction of the harbor.
