Chapter 229
Year 7446, Month 5, Day 11
We arrived at the town of Ramudokku before the day ended.
Northeast from the town of Ramudokku Mount Board towers over at an elevation of about 1,300 meters and acts as something like a gate into the Jindaru peninsula along with the Pitosu mountain range. We intend to take a detour even further to the East around this Board mountain and then go North towards the capital.
We entered a random inn and ate at a restaurant.
We really wanted to gather some information on what kind of place Viscount Yoraizu's territory, that's just 10 km or so to the East right before our eyes is like, but we were only able to hear common things and unable to gather any useful information. The reason for this is largely because there were no caravans belonging to Type-2 companies. When they're around I'm sure they're around but I guess we had bad luck.
In any case it seems that along the 20 km road to the first village after we enter Viscount Yoraizu's territory, the roads will change to mountain roads. Since it acts as the boundary between territories there's a considerable distance opened up. Since tomorrow is going to be on a different level from 20 km through the plains it would be best to get some rest early today.

Year 7446, Month 5, Day 12
In the early morning we departed the town of Ramudokku.
On the northern road a bit closer to Mount Board that's right along the border to Viscount Yoraizu's territory, we passed through the villages scattered along the Board mountains. On our journey to Bakuddo we had heard that orks appear on this road, since it would be troublesome to get ambushed, we decided to completely detour around Mount Board as we advanced down the road going North through the western part of Viscount Yoraizu's territory.
There are some highs and lows of the mountain road but the elevation isn't all that different. The saddlebags on our two war horses are stuffed full with everyone's boots, the leather armor Gwine and Angela were wearing on the journey out, as well as blankets and such. While swaying on horseback as Miduchi and I sit in the rear position we were holding the rucksacks with change of clothes and such in them. Just from a glance it's not as if we don't look like a small scale peddler but if they see four people wearing what appears to be metal armor and heavily armed, there's no way we would be attacked by thieves so easily.
We arrived at Winro village in the evening but other than seeing some goblins in the distance the same as usual along the way there wasn't any particular problem.
The population of the village is about 600 and it's like one size bigger than Bakuddo. Obviously there's no inn.
We put in a word with the lord and got permission to setup camp in the vacant lot near his house.
"It's not as if monsters don't appear in this area but if you're inside of the village then it's pretty much safe."
The son of the lord said that trying to give us peace of mind. Just in case we kept lookout in shifts, or rather it was just to make sure the campfire didn't go out. After we left this WInro village, there were several forks in the road but fundamentally if we follow along the left side (north side) while trying not to get too close to Mount Board then in 100 km or so we should leave Viscount Yoraizu's territory, and it'll supposedly take us to the center of the Kandeiru area where there's a group of small territories and royal territory in the south of Rombert Kingdom along the northern Dirt Plains.
