Kalinsha

Kalinsha (カリンシャ) is a fortress city of the Roble Holy Kingdom.

Background
Located in the Northern Holy Kingdom, Kalinsha is a fortress city that lay to the north of the holy capital, Hoburns. It was under the direct administration of the royal family and was protected by thick walls. In addition, it was near a major trade route leading to the south. Therefore, it was more sturdily built than any other city in the Holy Kingdom. The city of Kalinsha in the north was protected by the Northern Holy Kingdom Army until its defeat. Remedios Custodio once stated that the people who live in Kalinsha have been preparing themselves for a day when the Great Wall was breach and the demi-humans invade after.

The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom Arc
and The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom II Arc The news of a demihuman alliance crushing the strongest central fortress and its vast quantities of soldiers, then subsequently crossing the Great Wall, had already begun spreading throughout the Northern Holy Kingdom. As a result, the Northern Holy Kingdom Army was send over to this city, Kalinsha with the intention of spying on the enemy's movement for several days after that invasion happen.

During a discussion held with the Holy Queen, it was reported that the demihuman alliance is planning to reach the northern fortress city of Kalinsha in a few days. After Jaldabaoth's invasion of the Northern Holy Kingdom, Kalinsha along with three other major cities and countless towns were among those captured by the demi-human coalition.

While so, the Chief of Staff arrived frantically, informing the Custodio sisters and Calca of the news that Jaldabaoth has appeared inside the city of Kalinsha. At the same time, he warn that Jaldabaoth and his demon followers are in the midst of destroying the city while the demi-humans are already advancing forward to their place. As a result, the Holy Queen and the Custodio sisters began making preparations to set forth in their battle against both Jaldabaoth and the Demi-Human Alliance.

Although it is unknown how Kalinsha fell under Jaldabaoth's rule, the fact remains that both the Holy Queen and Kelart Custodio were captured by the demon in the end. Besides these two, among the casualties were also mainly members of the Paladin Order and several priests. Despite the group suffering heavy losses in the hands of Jaldabaoth, the members including Remedios that have survived the onslaught later went on to form the Holy Kingdom Liberation Army afterwards.

The human resistance had plans to reclaim Kalinsha, however after the loss of the Sorcerer King, the dream seemed impossible. Aid though came from an unlikely source, the Zern Tribes. The Zern offered to help the humans reclaim Kalinsha in exchange for the safe return of Prince Beebeezee who was held hostage at Castle Kalinsha. Once he was out of harms way, the three thousand Zern warriors in the city would change sides and turn on the remaining demi-human forces.

Meanwhile, Neia and Shizu were both given the job of infiltrating Kalinsha together to rescue the captured Zern Prince.
