Raydor Holy Sword War Journal
200. Dedicated to the Friends of the Lost
The two apostles who were sent to the kingdom of Zayn were destroyed.
The "Four Horsemen of the Doom", who commanded the "plague" and the "hunger", were defeated, and the army of 20,000 dead, which they had led, were exterminated.
The Zayn Kingdom Army, led by Raydor, and the Undead Army, led by the Ottomans.
The first battle between them ended in the victory of the Zayn Kingdom Army.
I see... Rouve and Wilfred have passed away.
West of the Kingdom of Zayn. In the kingdom of Aterna in the western region of the continent.
The first to notice the defeat of their people was not the Ottomans, the witch of their Lord, the 'dirt'. He is also the knight Zan Sha of "Death", the "Four Horsemen of── the Doomsday".
The royal castle where Neferte once lived. Standing on the roof of the spire, the man with black hair and brown skin narrowed his eyes pitifully as he stared far east.
The four knights who served the [Earth] witch, the Ottomans, were by no means close friends.
Quarrels are common. Especially the vicious "war" and "famine" may actively compete for merit and even pull each other's legs in order to gain the cheer of the Ottomans.
The relationship has not changed since the time of the "catastrophe" three hundred years ago. Rather, Zan Shah thought that even after his former defeat, it was getting worse.
"... soul, rest in peace." Brothers and sisters, leave the rest to us. "
Still... my will and thoughts are different, but I am a fellow servant of the same master. When Zan Sha learned of the death of his compatriots, there was a void hole in his heart, and feelings similar to sadness and loneliness gushed out from the bottom of the hole.
The Ottomans, the lord of Zan Shah, will soon notice the deaths of both of them.
But... Zang Sha was sure.
Even if the Apostle were to die, the Ottomans would never grieve. You won't be heartbroken when your centuries-old loyal friend dies.
I don't think it's ruthless. This is how the Ottomans are made from the beginning.
For the Ottoman queen of the land of the dead, who is the witch of the 'dirt', 'death' is fair and equal. There are no exceptions, because all of Morinaga is equal to everything.
Therefore, the Ottomans accept the death of their comrades and subordinates as a matter of course. It is impossible to grieve or shed tears.
"Rub, you've noticed... that the Ottoman goal of" annihilating humanity "is only the top one." Wilfred, you didn't know... that the Ottomans don't love us at all. "
The aim of the Ottomans is the annihilation of mankind. As a witch, to drive mankind to destruction as a catastrophe.
But... that's not what I meant. It was merely the result of obeying the command of the [──Light] witch Grasslead, the witch's chief. It was not what the Ottomans themselves wanted.
In the first place... the Ottomans are the ultimate lazy personality.
The Ottomans want nothing. I don't want anything.
Just as the earth accepts everything, so the Death does not reject anyone... the Ottomans do not deny people, animals or monsters.
"The queen doesn't love us. But... the knight still needs a master to pledge his loyalty."
Zan Shah is a knight.
──Before he became an apostle, he worshipped the monarch of a certain country, and was loyal with his life.
But... no matter how much Zang Sha did, the lord didn't respond. Zan Shah was betrayed by his master, who he believed in, and taken everything and banished.
Zan Sha came across Zan Sha wandering the wilderness without a master to serve... an Ottoman who was part of the "Six Witches of Doom".
Just as dogs want owners. Just as a young child asks for a parent.
Zan Shah found the Ottoman as a new lord, and he has been faithful for more than five hundred years since the last Catastrophe and the previous Catastrophe.
Even though I knew it didn't resonate at all with the master.
"There is no point in our loyalty." The Ottoman heart will not resonate. Still, I have to dedicate myself to this. If you don't, you won't be a knight anymore. "
Roub and Wilfred, who became apostles more than two hundred years later than Zan Sha, chose to become the "Four Knights of the End" to clear up their grudges against the powerful.
In contrast, Zan Sha chose this path only for the purpose of self-affirmation, "Be a knight."
I needed a master to remain a knight. That's all there is to it.
"Brothers and sisters of the dead, there is no salvation in our path." There was no such thing as a cause. But... that's why I mourn the Lord and take over his will. I will avenge you. "
And Zan Shah drew the sword that was in his loins, and turned his head toward the sky to the east.
"I swear by the demon sword──" "Gayborg" "that was given to me by the Queen." I will defeat the hero who was chosen by the Holy Sword. Your death will give me strength. Don't let that defeat go to waste. "
Zan Sha spoke out in a quiet tone, praying for the blessings of his deceased comrades.
