112 112. The Sixteen Pillars of the Kingdom.txt




 A small duchy exists in the east of the Alto Kingdom.
 In recent years, a problem has arisen in this country, which has managed to survive on the grounds that it is not worth attacking, even to the point of shedding blood, and it has been troubling the upper echelons.
 A red demon with golden eyes has taken up residence on the roads that serve as trade routes to the kingdom.
 This demon was a cannibal, attacking and devouring passersby.
 This monster, which devoured more than 20 people, including adventurers and soldiers of the country, was called "Red Goblin, Fulhit" in awe and disgust.
 This "Red Gobbler," as it is known, has drawn many people away from the city.
 They don't appear at night, but they are nocturnal demons.
 The small kingdom has been hit hard by these nocturnal demons.
 It was fortunate that they were able to trade normally with everyone except the kingdom, but this was not good.
 The small kingdom had a hard time thinking about it and decided to have a foreign country defeat them.
 However, they cannot prepare a large sum of money because they are a small country.

'It would be best to prepare a large sum of money and call for a first class or special class, but ......

 The king of the small country laments.
 The special classes are the living legends who have succeeded in defeating the alias of the first-class adventurers, who have returned even first-class adventurers.
 They are one of the strongest forces in each country, but to bring them in, you need a reasonable amount of money.
 There was no way a small country could afford it.
 So they came up with the idea of asking the forces of the kingdom to join them.

''Against the Eight Divine Brilliance (Levatain) of the Empire, the Sixteen Pillar Jie (Tafelunde) of the Kingdom isn't very conspicuous, is it?''

 And it was infused as a gossip between the nobles and the common people.
 The Sixteen Pillars Jie (Tafelunde) were created in opposition to the Eight Divine Brilliance of the Empire.
 Although they are considered to be the kingdom's greatest fighting force, their quality was questionable because they were gathered with the simple idea that "if the empire is the eight, we are the sixteen".
 Needless to say, this assessment was very humiliating to the proud kingdom people.

''Destroy the 'Red Devouring Demon' and show them that the Eight Divine Brilliance is nothing, and that the Sixteen Pillar Jie is better than them!

Yes, yes!

 The leadership of the kingdom, whose blood immediately rose to their heads, gathered the sixteen pillar jie and gave them this instruction.

''Of course!''

''I'll show them that being inferior to us, Yagamihki, is a colossal mistake!

 The Sixteen Pillars Jie who were ordered to do so responded with great enthusiasm.
 They were so easily motivated that the little kingdom that had set them up was inwardly stunned.
 The suggestion that there would be no comparison between a different name holder and the Marshal of the Demon World would never be made.

''Come to a meeting to decide who will go out and report back to me. 

 At the king's command, the Sixteen Pillars Jie and the others withdrew once and began a meeting by themselves in a room in the castle.
 Before that, they first called their maidservants and told them to bring the scones something to drink.

'As a nobleman of the kingdom, it would be disgraceful to be distraught at all costs.

 This is the national culture.
 It was a characteristic of the kingdom's people that they did not even question whether the bloody conversation I mentioned earlier was okay.
 There is a reason why they are ridiculed as a den of proud and vain people.
 After the drinks had been passed around and the scones had been eaten, the oldest and foremost man opened his mouth.

'Well, who's going?'

What else can you tell me about this "Red Devourer"?

It's about three meters long, much faster than an ogre, and is said to be more powerful. I heard that a party of second class adventurers prepared by a small country was defeated and half of them were eaten.

 If the second level adventurer party was going to return, then they would be a very powerful part of the party.
 But they were unperturbed.

''Now, who should we send out? "The God of War, the God of War, the God of War, the God of Fighting, the God of Sword, the God of Spear. "I think that's a good place to start,

 When the first man said it, several people raised their hands in unison.
 They were called the God of War, the God of War, the God of Fighting, and the God of Swords.

I'll be the one to go. I'll go and show you that the Warrior God of the Kingdom is the true power.

 A big skinheaded man of about thirty years old barked out, and a beautiful young man with a kind face interrupted him.

''This Sword God is the strongest. Could you please refrain from using the Martial Temple?''

What?

What is it?

 They began to stare at each other and the first man sighed.

'Let's turn to the fighting gods here. We want to make sure that people say we are the fighting gods of the west rather than the war gods of the east.

Duly noted.

 The man who responded was a large, muscular man of thirty with golden hair and red eyes.
 His tanned skin had a few scars, suggesting he was a warrior of long standing.
