Vol 2 Chapter 1 (1/2)
2-1 History of the country’s founding and the first destination
It’s been quite a tie
Currently, we let the horses take a break in an open space by the highway
… However, there is hardly any conversation
It’s extremely aard
Neil-san occasionally looks at my direction, but he averts his eyes in a rush when our eyes meet
I can’t do anything even if I worry about it so I brought up the conversation by myself
“Neil-san, why don’t we sit down and take a rest for the ti?”
I’ll sit down first
I sat down in seiza
<note: japanese’=”” for=”” down=””>
“Ah, yes ――You have a peculiar way of sitting”
He also started talking and showed a relieved expression
It appears like he felt aard, too
“This way of sitting is called seiza I can stretch ht so it feels pleasant”
After riding on a horse, I feel that lessening the burden of ood
I only rode the horse a few tie so I am not used to it
“Seiza, is it? I will give it a try”
Neil-san sat down besidemy position
“M-my knee hurts So much But it certainly lets me stretch my back”
You don’t need to force yourself to sit down like the way I do
Uhm, what should I talk about?
Alright
“Uhm, Neil-san What would be our first destination?”
I decided to start the conversation through a light confirmation
Neil-san immediately responded as if he also disliked the silence
“Yes, ill enter the Town of Raza first and register in the Garshcia Soldier Guild”
An unfamiliar word came out
Garshcia is the name of this country
Is the group ill enter dom?
“I anorance, but what do you mean by Soldier Guild?”
“Ah, I am sorry, too Sword Saint-sae]”
I livedlike that was unnecessary
That doesn’t mean I am an idiot
Well then, let’s ask Neil-san about various things
“Sensei, please take care of me”
“Se-sensei? Such a great thing… Well, what does Cathia-san know about the country of Garshcia?”
I roughly know the history
But, is that necessary to explain about the Soldier Guild?
“If I a to the eastern territory of the Dao Empire and played a central role, but it becaht?”
Should I reraphy for the ti?
The north’s center is the country of Werebeasts, in the central vicinity of the continent is the Garshcia Country, the southern part is the Elves’ country, and in the further south is the country of Dwarves
This unnatural allocation of countries is the outcome of Garshcia’s dispossession from Dao Empire, which seeks to expand its territory
It is the reason why huathered in the west of the continent
During this period, cooperative relationshi+p between humans and other races is not widely imposed I believe this is the result of the Empire’s constant schemes to provoke alienation
However, the situation coed when the Garshcia territory in the east of Dao Empire revolted
“Yes The huion, which is Dao Eathered at the Garschia territory They made an alliance with the three other countries apart from Dao Empire, and achieved independence It’s been about a hundred years since then” (Neil)
The eastern territory became the forefront of invasion Not all Hu of other people’s cleared lands continued not unlike a thief, these Huuilty and their hearts orn down
I can sys when they took drastic actions to become independent
“But they weren’t able to become allies properly, were they? It was a period when the enemy is the Human race” (Cathia)
Other races hated the exclusive disposition of Baal’s religion They entered a state of war, and the e became the worst
“That is right However, this country failed to defend the invasion since they needed to reclaiuarantee their daily lives, so the country became even more impoverished Under that circuainst the march of the Eardless of their races By that sequence of events, it becae when several races in the continent lead to the creation of the country with the most varied races The other countries saw Garschia’s attitude and defense capabilities so they accepted the alliance Thus, the anti-Eanization, shi+koku Alliance was made”
<note: shi+koku,=”” literally=”” four=”” countries=”” this=”” actually=”” exists=”” as four=”” provinces=”” of=”” japan=”” please=”” help=”” me=”” think=”” of=”” a=”” better=”” name=””>
I am curious how Garschia territory prevented the attack of the Eh of that
The shi+koku Alliance of Garschia ・ Werebeast ・ Elf ・ Dwarf continues at present
The Dao Empire is so powerful that it can still th even when four countries opposed it
Neil-san’s explanation continued
“Let us return to the topic The majority of the population of Garschia established it as a country, but they were refugees orn out froees were accepted, it was not easy for them to shake off the sense of distrust towards the Huth became insufficient compared to its citizens”
Itthe circumstances
When the trust is low, the soldiers may just be throay after they are used by the Huether in the particularly severe battlefield? Suspicion will follow around
“So it becauild?”
Judging from the flow of the story, it appears to be like this
“Yes There is still no good idea to solve such emotional aspect at the moment Since the trust in the country is low, ation Guilds were opened in various places to guard against demons”
Desire is instigated with the high reward, and a sense of security without compulsion can be obtained at the same time
You can refusething?
“Then if it’s done like that, they’re temporary soldiers? Is that how they are treated?”
“Yes They will apply if the reward is enough and will be drafted as temporary soldiers and mercenaries, it unexpectedly attracted a lot of people”
The good points are that there are many reserve troops and maintenance costs are low
As for the demerit, wouldn’t the problem be reflected in the soldier’s skills?
“In a real battlefield, do they have proper command over the soldiers?”
“There was in the past, but at present, it is necessary for theularly done in each guild Participation is not obligatory but there are many participants since there are also rewards for this”
Is that really fine?
Seeing my question interrupt hiuild
