Day 391-400/Day 395

Day 395
Starting a little while ago, the number of ship that passed us has increased dramatically.
Also, the number of things like wagon or carts coming and going overland, and sand boats crossing the sandy seas are increasing.
Apparently it seems that we are steadily approaching our destination.
Even those who come to Coco - the inland of the New Continent, has become the dominant territory and, among the most urbanized state, «Orzi · Manu · Deunas» is considered huge among them, the [Pirates] and [Sell Swords]. It seems that you can not easily get out of hand, everyone seemed to be acting in a relaxed manner.
Still the threat of monsters does not change, occasionally armed groups are sent out on patrol.
Apparently they regularly patrol around the area and seems to be thinning down the number of monsters. As I recall, it seems that the number of monsters that could certainly be confirmed to be dropping, even looking from a distant.
Also, a group with a heavy atmosphere an obviously elite unite is stationed along the major roads, in small but sturdy rock fortresses.
It is encouraging that there is a place to run to even if the worst happens, it is one of the factors that make it possible for the [Travelers] and [Merchants] to relax in «Orzi · Manu · Deunas».
In these areas, you can see the strength of the power of «Orzi Manu · Deunas», where soldiers are not only used for self-defense but also can be placed outside.
It seems that not only their strength but also the economy and politics are powerful.
According to the information gathered, «Orzi · Manu · Deunas» has been chosen by the 【God of the Sun】 for generations, with [Psalm Awakened] people such as [Legends] and [Emperors] appointed by the [King of the Sun] that has long governed there, it seems to have a long history.
Through the powerful existence of the [King of the Sun] the harsh desert and gravel area spread, with the areas where the water resources are available have become limited. Amidst the harsh struggle for survival of the urban nation that exists, the city nation which exists now is said to have a history hundreds of years long already.
It is not amusing to be attacked by any city government in general.
Therefore, this land that the [King of the Sun] can supervise is worthy of its name.
Anyway, what kind of city is «Orzi · Manu · Deunas» that can supervise the reign of successive generations, including the honorable present generation, of 【Kings of the Sun】?
At the confirmation that the expected city is getting closer, I felt that my heart was swelling with expectation.

　“三百九十五日目”
　少し前からすれ違う船舶の数が格段に増えていた。
　また陸路でも行き来する荷馬車のようなモノや、砂海を渡る砂流船などの数も増えている。
　どうやら順調に目的地に近づいているらしい。
　ココまで来ると目的地――新大陸の内陸、その中でも一番巨大とされる都市国家≪オルジ・マヌ・ディウナス≫の支配領域になるからか、【河賊】や【砂賊】といった者達も容易に手は出せないらしく、皆気を緩めて行動しているようだった。
　それでもモンスターの脅威は変わりないだろうが、時折武装した集団が巡回している。
　どうやら定期的に周囲を巡回し、モンスターを間引いているようだ。思い返せば、確かに遠目でも確認できたモンスターの数は減っていたように思える。
　また、主要な街道などには明らかに精鋭だろう重厚な雰囲気のある一団が、小さいがしっかりとした岩の要塞に駐留している。
　要塞という最悪襲われても逃げ込める場所があるのは心強く、行き交う【旅人】や【商人】が安心して≪オルジ・マヌ・ディウナス≫を目指せる要因の一つだろう。
　こういった部分で、自衛だけでなく外にまで多数の兵士を配置できる≪オルジ・マヌ・ディウナス≫の勢力の強さが窺える。
　戦力だけでなく、経済や政治も相応の力があるようだ。
　集めた情報によれば、≪オルジ・マヌ・ディウナス≫は代々【太陽の神】に選ばれた【英勇】や【帝王】といった【詩編覚醒者】が【太陽王】を名乗り、統治してきた長い歴史があるらしい。
　【太陽王】という力ある存在に率いられてきた事で過酷な砂漠地帯や礫地帯が広がり、水資源がある場所が限定される環境的に点々と存在する都市国家の苛烈な生存闘争の中において、既に数百年近く歴史があるという。
　普通ならどこぞの都市国家に攻め落とされても可笑しくはない。
　それ故に【太陽王】の統べるこの地は相応の価値があるわけだが。
　何はともあれ、歴代最強と誉れ高き今代【太陽王】の統べる≪オルジ・マヌ・ディウナス≫がいかなるモノか。
　近づくだけで色々と期待できる光景を目の当たりにして、胸中は期待で膨らんでいるような気がした。
