Bordering the Mystic Region, was the Count territory of Camelot.

On this frontier existed those willing to protect the area.

Their main forces consisted of a knight order under the control of the Count.

Although the members usually only consist of 100 people, the Count declared a state of emergency. Those who had retired were recalled, and the numbers were now nearly three times than the usual, with 284 people.

The next largest force here was the Adventurers from the Magnus Association.

They had taken requests to hunt monsters threatening the land in the vicinity.

However, this was not an urgent matter. And, naturally they finished the request without any difficulties.

To serve as lookouts around the Count’s territory, mercenary were hired.

Although some were talented, many were still just novices. Thus,when the monsters started to move, they all were employed to scout the surroundings.

However, in reality, they didn’t treat their work seriously. The main cause of which being the fact that Count Thomas Bruce had been stingy with money used to employ them.

So, who can subdue the monsters if the Magnus Association didn’t take the request?

Normally, it was the job of the Knights.

However!

(Fools! When the Knights leave the territory, there is a chance for the cities to be attacked?!!! Who will protect the Town?!!!)

So, the frightened Count did not permit their dispatch.

Money was a problem. Moreover, The Knights could not move in order to protect the town.

Further, complaints came from villages.

They complained about damage caused by monsters that neither the adventurers nor Count did anything about…

However, the Association in this case, can’t receive a subjugation request due to a single rule.

The circumstances involved did not allow it to so easily accept.

 After all, if you going to hunt for rank “C+” monsters, multiple adventurers of the same rank are needed (At least 3 or more people).

Even if 10 adventurers with rank C tried to subdue it, even if they were successful, there would surely be casualties.

Furthermore, just because a sighting was confirmed, it didn’t mean that the subjugation can be begin immediately.

Normally, there was not many rank “C+” Adventurers stay at the frontier; the problem was that monsters would appear too frequently.

Thus, they were unable to effectively move between requests. 

They’d receive the request, subdue the target, and then come back. The time involved between each step became a problem.

To patrol the village, an organization responsible for subjugation was necessary.

In response to these circumstances, reluctantly the Count Thomas Bruce set up an organization.

He called it, Frontier Garrison. Its member consisted of 30 people.

Moreover, they mostly consisted of criminals charged with trespassing on private property, disorderly behavior, or small-time violent crimes.

So, it’s actually a facility for small miscreants. A correctional institution.

They were servants of the Knights, at times; and, they served as opponent for the Knights mock battle.
