The History of Gatelain

The Gatelain people are a strong and strong nation. What was originally just an association of tribes, has now turned into a large and sovereign state.

This country is now an important axis in the region of the continent of Regia, Gatelain is the western gateway of the continent of Regia. This has made Gatelain the economic centre of the entire island region of Regia. Not only is the economy developed, but the fighting strength of the troops also should not be underestimated, even though it is not as strong as the strength of other armies. However, the fighting strength of Gatelain's troops is not inferior to other countries or other kingdoms, Gatelain's troops should not be underestimated.

With the background of the Gatelain people who are so steadfast in their stand on noble principles. And very much ahead of honour. No wonder some strong fighters or important figures were born in the Gatelain region. For example, General Hedorven, who sparked to join forces throughout the continent of Regia to face the Neiter Nation which became the origin of the formation of the United of Regia, although now its existence is threatened.

Gatelain is not the same as other kingdoms. They followed a timocracy system, which, whoever was strong, could rule Gatelain. Because they still adhere to the system that has been followed for centuries by their ancestors and ancestors.

Once upon a time, five major tribes were living in the Gatelain region. They fight with each other for power and control of the territory, whoever the losing tribe will become the territory of the winning tribe. However, 100 years ago, when General Bernev Edou of the tribe resided in Byre Town became the strongest person. He changed the system they had been using. Because he felt that he did not have to fight with each other just because to control all areas, he felt that if he did this, the only thing that would be was the number of victims who died in vain.

That, after he became ruler of the five tribes, he created a new system. He appointed the tribal leaders from the five tribes to be Captain. Which he directly directs. And he calls himself general. Each of the captains was assigned to lead his former territory.

Then, Bernev also created a new system, in which the successors in power after that were determined by dual between five captains. Whoever is strongest, he is the general, replacing General Bernev. Finally, the tribal chiefs agreed to the system created by General Bernev, and this system is still running today.

The five cities that were previously occupied by five tribes are now the five largest cities in the Gatelain region. And captains were assigned to each of the five cities.

The five cities are the first, Byre Town which is located in the middle of the Gatelain region which is the capital of this country.

Second, Gorgon Harbor which is located in the west and is the gateway city of Gatelain in the west, the city which is the hometown of Jim, Jill and Klax.

Third, Eastend Town, the city which is famous for its Ale, is also the easternmost city and is the gateway to the east which is directly adjacent to the Prusiudeus kingdom.

Fourth, Minerock Town, a city that is located in the northernmost of the Gatelain region, a city located in the mountains, and this city is directly adjacent to the Hesperia kingdom territory to the north of Gatelain and is a city known as a mining town.

And fifth, the last one is the port of Storfisch. Small town, the town of fishermen. Which is on average, the livelihood of the city is a fisherman. One could even say that the port of Storfisch is one of the four largest fish-producing cities on the entire island of Regia.

Captains were assigned to each of the five regions. Or they are usually known as the 'five foundations'. Because based on history, Gatelain consists of five tribes who have joined together. It is no wonder that their emblem is in the form of a fortress with under the image of the fort there are five large blocks of bricks installed parallel to it. The stone block symbolizes that Gatelain used to be composed of five tribes.

However, the situation now is very complicated, the port of Gorgon, one of the important cities in Gatelain, has been controlled by the Neiter. Just like the Gatelain logo, if the large stone blocks were destroyed one by one, the fortress on top of the stone block would collapse and be destroyed. Likewise with Gatelain, if all the five foundation cities have been controlled by Neiter, then Gatelain's history is over.

It didn't take long, all the letters sent by Captain D'Breick were in the hands of each captain. Because the distance from each city in Gatelain is not far.

One morning, in front of the military office. Captain D'Breick prepares to leave for Byre Town on his milky brown horse. When he was about to lift his leg to ride the horse, Gristie approached him and stopped the horse.

"Captain, take me too". Gristie begs the Captain to come with him on the trip to accompany Captain D'Breick.

However, the captain refused, not because he didn't want to invite Gristie. But there was a more important reason than asking Gristie to go too. Captain D'Breick stopped to get on the horse, but he slowly walked towards Gristie, his hands holding Gristie's shoulders. Then say.

"Gris, guard Eastend Town which I love so much while I'm not here. Because Neiter can attack anytime".

"But captain…". Gristie was a little hesitant, he lowered his head, he lacked confidence, because he got the mandate to guard and protect the city of Eastend from enemy attacks. He felt that he would still not be able to lead if Captain D'Breick was not around.

Captain D'Breick's hand gently grasped Gristie's chin and slowly lifted it.

"I never doubted you, I believed in you". The captain smiles after saying that word.

Gristie could only reply in silence and was stunned. Then Captain D'Breick removed his hands from Gristie's chin and shoulders. He then turned around. Gristie was just stunned and looked at the captain from behind.

The captain rode the horse. While looking a little at Gristie's face. Even so, Gristie, still stunned, saw the face of the captain who was riding the horse. They both stare at each other. Captain D'Breick returned the gaze with his faint smile.

"All right, I'm going". Said the captain to Gristie. Then the captain's hands raced the horse's reins. The horse gasped then quickly the horse ran. The captain and the horse he was riding left Gristie.

The words uttered by Captain D'Breick made Gristie dumbfounded and silent. Because those words meant a lot to Gristie. Because he felt happy being trusted by Captain D'Breick. He was happy to be relied on by Captain D'Breick.

In the middle of the trip not long after Captain D'Breick left, he muttered "I'll leave Eastend to you, Gris". He believes in Gristie

Then Gristie immediately went to the training camp not far from the military office. The place he was going to was the sword training field. Some people are also practising in that field. Especially the youth troops who were very eager to do training.

Gristie walked towards the figurine doll made of earth magic. Indeed the doll was devoted to sword training.

Then Gristie stopped in her tracks. He looked seriously at the doll. He muttered. "If only Eliza were still here, I would be very helpful.".

Then he took out a white sword from scabbard which was on his right waist.

* Clang *

He held the two white swords with both of his fists. And straightened the sword horizontally right in front of him.

"I don't want to let the captain down. I have to be strong". He said the sentence aloud. After that, it poured mana into the body, soles of the feet, and the white blade. He bent his body slightly then slightly bent his left knee forward and pulled his right leg back a little. With his left hand Now holding the white sword. Gristie took a deep, calm breath.

"s***h flash"

He threw both his legs, with which the footstool was streamed, he threw himself far forward and then slashed the doll statue that was in front of him. Until a split second, his body was already behind the doll statue.

Gristie s***h the doll statue as quick as lightning

Until the wind blew back due to the throw of the leg. Gristie's attacks were strong and fast.

The newbie troopers who were there were stunned, dumbfounded and hypnotized by the beautiful and fast attacks that were displayed by Gristie.

Everyone nearby was stunned. Because this was the first time they had seen such a beautiful attack.

However, what made everyone around there even more dumbfounded was that the doll statue shattered into pieces as if it had received hundreds of hits.

What an impact Gristie's attack was, because, people only saw Gristie's attack take one hit. But what happened was that the doll statue shattered into pieces as if it had been hit by a hundred hits.

But winning is a skill from Gristie that can attack anything swiftly and invisibly. His one hundred hits looked like one for being too fast.

After seeing the great skill displayed by Gristie in the training field, it made the young troops excited. They were so motivated to have great strength as they had just seen.

Finally, that day the younger generation of troops were very excited about training and filled the training field. One small step Gristie made so big.
