Raydor Holy Sword War Journal

In the western part of the kingdom of Zain, the Fernigesh mountain range, a mountain range separating the Aterna kingdom, stretched from north to south.

There are a number of mountains that are steep enough to sever the westernmost part of the continent, and the highest mountain peaks extend above the clouds.Although low-growth grasses were clustered up to the center of the mountain, brownish rocks peeled off from there due to the forest limit.

Locals rarely set foot in the mountains where the Black Dragon Fernigesh lives.From time to time, from the mountains where no human hands are in, a heavy bass like the roar of a beast resounds demonically.

"... it's as creepy as ever. Just looking at it will make you feel depressed."

Looking up at the mountains, Uster Gordo, the captain of the Zain Kingdom Army's thousand men, sighed in disgust.

At the behest of Raydor, Gordo was sent to the monster crusade in the western part of the continent.

Since the great earthquake two months ago, the damage caused by monsters has increased rapidly in this area.Especially from the Fernigesh mountain range, monsters were descending every day, and there were many villages and villages that had already been destroyed.

After Gordo was dispatched, the damage was visibly reduced, but the monster attack itself was not likely to disappear.There was still an unexpected situation.

"The monster's" "Root" "and" "Nest" "were left unattended."Well, you can't just disappear.At most, it would be nice if there were wildfires. "

From the inside of the impromptu fort built at the foot of the mountain, Gordo looked up at the mountain in horror.

It was a monster that came down from the mountain day and night, but its source was from a nest inside the Fernigesh mountain range.As long as you don't hit the nest, there will be plenty of them.

If I could, I would have invaded the mountain and crushed the nest... but it would be tantamount to committing suicide, such as stepping into the mountain where the evil dragon Fernigesh is nesting, with only a thousand soldiers.

"Dragon Seed" is a calamity that lies alongside the witch of destruction.It can even destroy a country on its own.If you give me your hand, you will definitely get a painful tip back.

It can also be seen from the idiom that refers to "the most idiotic act in the world" such as "poking a mountain to bring out a dragon".

As a result, I had no other choice but to take countermeasures to defeat the monster that appeared at the foot, and the battle did not seem to end.

"Ahhh, I want to go home."I don't want to be under such a creepy mountain anymore! "

Gordo grumbles gloomily as he prepares for battle and begins to care for his spear.

Inside the fort, subordinate soldiers are preparing for battle in the same way, lying down on the Goza and resting their bodies.Outside the fort, our soldiers were on the lookout, alerting us to the presence of monsters at any time.

It's already been a month since Gordo was ordered to slay monsters in the western region.Temperatures are higher than in its native eastern neighborhoods, and it has become much more accustomed to dry climates.

But--I 'm still not used to the creepy sight of the mountains rising to the west.From the top of the mountain where the evil dragon is said to be hanging, there is occasional purple smoke, and the smell of decay comes from the bottom of the earth.

From the local people, I don't think it's the usual thing to worry about anymore, but Gordo, who came from outside, looked up at the mountain every morning and frowned, hoping to return to the capital as soon as he finished his mission.

Gordo was originally a soldier-in-charge of the Baron Eladin family, which had a territory in the eastern part of the continent.

The earlier Eastern expeditions led to the incorporation of the House of the Baron under Reidor and the appointment of Gordo as commander-in-chief of the army.

Ichisuke's baroness was promoted to captain of the national army, so this is an unusual career.

However, Gordo was able to reach this position because of the thin layer of subordinate Reidor, who had separated from his brother King, and lacked manpower.

Gordo, who was never succeeded by merit or merit, felt a greater responsibility (pressure) than the pleasure of gaining a high position.

If I hadn't become a Thousand Captain, I wouldn't have been driven out to the west of the kingdom with a soldier.

I was dispatched to the foothills of the fierce mountains, and I never lived the days of fighting the monsters that came down from the mountains.

(That said... I can't even let out a soft sound.I have to encourage my loyalty in order to repay my debt to the Baron)

Baron Eladin was turning against his enemies in the war against the Empire.Although I have been pardoned by Raydor, I have completely lost my trust in the Kingdom.

The more Gordo, the Baron's subordinate, can do, the more credibility Baron Eladin's family will have.

Thinking like that, the guards outside the fort raised their voices.

"Captain Gordo! A swarm of monsters has descended from the mountains!"The horde of Big Rats is about seven hundred to one thousand! ”

"Oh my God, you're here again!"Sprinkle the oil and light the fire! "

Hah!

Following Gordo's instructions, the soldiers sprinkled oil on the monster's direction of travel.

The rat (Big Rat) is about the size of a puppy and lives in a herd in the wild mountains.Due to their cowardly nature, they rarely go into hiding, but when they run out of food, they pour out in large swarms, causing great damage to crops.

Each one is not very strong, and even a child with a stick is strong enough to be eliminated, but if hundreds or thousands of herds are formed, the army needs to be dispatched.

”If you let all the hungry rats burn in flames, let them have a feast!”

»» »» »Oh!» »»

A soldier threw a burning torch into the oil.The flames burned across the plain and the orange walls were completed.

A horde of rats jumped in the fire one after another.Caught in the flames, the rats reduced their numbers one after the other.

"Alright! Now I'm going to destroy you... ahhh!?"

Gordo, who was watching the battle situation from the fort, clenched his fist when he had just finished his work, but the next moment, a swarm of rats jumped out of the flames.

It is an unlikely phenomenon.

The flames burned most of the rats.Luckily, the surviving rats were supposed to scatter when they saw their people's endgame.

That's how he stepped over his friend's corpse and charged through the flames.It's impossible for a cowardly Big Rat to act.

"Shit... build a lineup of spears and set up your spears!"Let's skewer the rats together! "

»» »» »Oh!» »»

Gordo flies his instructions to Kaoru.

A soldier outside the fort stood in line with his spear and thrust it into a rat that had crossed the flame.

I was surprised to see that I was not frightened by the flames, but I was a big rat.The number is pretty low, so if you deal with it calmly, there's no problem.

Soon the rest of the rats were exterminated, and the fort was restored to peace.

This time it's time to watch the battle end, and the soldiers right next to Gordo breathe a sigh of relief.

"Huh... you're surprised. I can't believe the rat survived the fire... what was that, huh?"

"... I don't know. A cornered rat can't handle a cat."

Gordo replied appropriately to the words of his subordinates and looked around the plain where the dead rats spread.

(The cornered rat...? Maybe it wasn't a mistake.)

A swarm of rats charged toward the fort.It wasn't hostility or harm that was driving them, it was fear of being pushed away by something.

Gordo's thoughts came to Gordo's mind, and at the same time there was a huge sway on the ground.

"Whoa!?"

Oh, another earthquake!?

The sudden vibration is much smaller than the earthquake that occurred two months ago.

However, the scale made it difficult to stand, and Gordo lost his balance and put his hand on the ground.

"Grrrr... when will it be over, this one!"

The posture was lowered to withstand the shock, but the earthquake did not always seem to stop.

But then it grew stronger and stronger... and Gordo finally noticed something unusual.

"You, Captain Gordo... I think I've lost my mind..."

"... don't worry, I see the same thing."

In response to the words of his subordinates who had noticed the same abnormality, Gordo looked up at the great source of the abnormality.

At the top of the line of sight are the mountains of the Fernigesh mountain range.

It is an abominable nest of monsters and dragons that has been seen every day since they were dispatched to this land.

The pile was slowly crawling on the ground, but it was slowly moving.

As if the invisible giants were pushing the mountains apart, the huge mountain range cracked from side to side.

"The mountains are moving... am I even dreaming?"

Gordo crushed it, but the nightmare was about to begin.

The boundary with the Aterna Kingdom on the west side of the Zayn Kingdom disappeared due to the cracking of the mountain range.

From then on... countless [Nanica], like a horde of ants, were approaching us.
