Hakai no Miko

"... a bird"

It was the figure of several birds flying from the woods east of the enemy formation.

They look good around here, they're just birds. It's not unusual.

But somehow that caught Darius's mind oddly.

"My lord? How have you been?

One of the guards speaks when he notices Darius staring at the flying birds.

"No... the bird."

Speak as you are, not knowing why you care so much for it yourself. Then the guardian turns to the same side as Darius.

"... oh. There are birds flying out of the woods."

While I was saying that, a few birds flew away again.

"Odd, you must be surprised at the temper of the regiment"

To the words of the guard who joked, Darius remembers the shock of being hit in the head with a blunt instrument.

"hey... what the heck!?"

Darius stares as he tries to get himself out of the tank and devour the enemy formations that are already directly behind him.

"How are the enemies doing?!? What's going on?"

"Ha... From here on out, you don't see it well with smoke."

Before that guard's words are finished or not, Darius turns his attention to Zoan's ambush unit, which now comes from the plains.

He opened his eyes and stared at the dust, Darius, but his eyes were opened.

"... conspired!

As if to match Darius' astonishment, the chariot's wheels rode up to the stone and swayed. Besides, Darius' feet, who was suddenly self-defeated, were about to faintly fall, but he managed to hold his hand on the elbow of the chair to support his body.

"Hurry up and get the troops back! Commander! Tell the Heavy Spear Infantry Regiment and the Right-Wing Infantry Battalion to prepare for enemy ambushes! Drums! Hit the drums!

"It's done, my lord!?"

Suddenly the guard, surprised by the sudden hesitation, asks Darius, pointing to the dust raised by Zoan's ambush unit.

"Look closely! The dust just goes up and I never see Zoan from earlier!

If you ask me, the dust rises well, but I still don't see Zoan. It's a strange story to say that with Zoan's leg power, you can come so close.

Darius told him to throw up the bitter juice of regret that spreads in his mouth.

"That's a phony soldier! You're making a small number of soldiers look like a large number!

That Darius reading was correct.

Only a dozen Zoans, led by Banukah, were winding up the dust. By putting a bunch of wood on the tip of a rope wrapped around their hips, and running large, left and right serpentines as they dragged it, they were winding up a great deal of sand and making them think that there were even hundreds of armies.

"A phony soldier!? But for what?!?"

To his surprised guard, Darius pokes his finger towards the enemy as he looks back.

"Forest! The birds are flying out of the woods one after another!

When birds fly, it means something is happening that surprises them.

But that's not because, as the guard says, a regiment of heavy-duty spear infantry has approached. The rebels have raised their voices many times nearer, so if you're surprised by the heavy spear infantry regiment, you'll be flying away. I also thought it was because of the white smoke raised by the rebels, but if you look in the direction of the wind, it couldn't be either.

In doing so, I can only think of one being that surprises the birds in the woods at this time.

"The real ambush unit was in the enemy line! White smoke is blinding, but that's not to hide the trap in front of the enemy! It's to hide some of the soldiers from the rear of the line!

The officers and guards who were around him were stunned.

"As it is, a right-wing infantry battalion is eaten from the right rear by enemy ambushes! Hurry up and reward the right-wing infantry battalion! The enemy is not coming from the woods, but from the rear, bypassing the woods!

As if he couldn't wait for Darius to say that, a group emerged from the other side of the forest running with a roar.

"Then, stupid! Whatever it takes, it's too soon!

Darius and I are not stupid.

If there was a forest near the enemy formation, there was no way we wouldn't have been on guard there.

But it's a deep, densely wooded forest. In such woods, where the movement of soldiers is also irresistible, it can only be a wall protecting the east of the position. Otherwise, we would have formed troops from Darius's side to attack the enemy from the woods as well.

Yet the rebels magically moved their troops from the position to show them what kind of wives they used, not long after putting up the smokescreen.

And it was roughly eight hundred Zoan warriors who emerged from beyond the forest.

That number was in enemy formation, almost equal to all Zoan.

Besides, the officers raise their anger.

"Unbelievable! It's not an ambush, it's the main force in the formation!?"

"Don't be ridiculous! Separate the widows even further, turning them around to the side while making a lot of enemies current.

It was a soldier who deviated completely from the common sense of war.

But no matter how much you curse it, there's no way the Zoans will stop moving.

As the angry officers watched with their eyes running blood, the Zoans first struck the right-wing infantry battalion defending the side of the dense formation of heavy-duty spear infantry from its rear right.

Originally, it was a right-wing infantry battalion that was supposed to stop enemies trying to attack the sides of these dense formations, but what they assumed was a handful of ambushes lurking in the woods.

But it wasn't the ambushes or anything else that actually came, it was the number of Zoans that far exceeded expectations. Moreover, because the raid was not from the woods but from their own right rear, the fully backed right-wing infantry battalion is kicked away without the art of doing so.

And the Zoans, who gained even more momentum on it, finally devoured the flanks of dense formations.

"If you're shuddering! Hurry up and turn back the troops! Reassemble the formation!!"

Darius drank heavily of the officers going right and left to the unexpected. And finally, the officers and conductors who returned to me flew instructions to the troops.

But no matter how much yelling and scattering, the troops have moved out once, it's hard to stop. Darius had no choice but to bite his teeth at the appearance of a unit that would not move as he thought, even if officers and conductors desperately issued the decree.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Not long before that, let's get back to it.

"Mr. Gallum, stand back! Mr. Doverlyn, Mr. Jaharngil!

When the white smoke rose from the bunch of wood, lit by the hand of Dvarin, the Zoans, who were led by Garam and Zug, retreated from the fence by order of the Ethereal Horse and gave the spot to Dwarf and Dinosaurian.

"Oh, my God! I'm in the mood! Boost your temper!

When they line up in front of the fence to hide what the Zoans look like, they strike the ground or shout out with a long-shaped stone clash in their hands along with the honking of Dvarin to draw to themselves the attention of an impending regiment of heavy-duty spear infantry.

"" Whoa, whoa!

Around that loud voice, Garam and Zoog took their countrymen to the rear of the position.

What the Gallums headed for was the entrance to the way out through the woods.

That was the path cut open by putting in all but a hundred of the rest of the Dwarves who followed the Ethereal Horse to build the position.

That said, the road is hardly any different from the beast path. In fact, the majority of that journey took place using beast paths. The width of the road is also so narrow that the two adults are just shoulder-to-shoulder that the more they stand and walk, the more their bodies will hit the branches stretched out from left to right. The road itself is also hardened by the Dwarves dropping rocks many times, but there are also places where the ups and downs are intense, such as rocks and thick tree roots that have been left behind without time to remove them.

Now, I can't get through a tank very well.

No matter how even the roads are, if you try to tank such roads, they will be rolled over once and for all. The road is narrow in the first place and I can't even get in.

And I can't even get through on horseback.

If you try to run through on horseback, you'll either hit your body on the branch leaves and get knocked off the horse, or you'll just snap your neck on the walrus.

But even if I could get through, I wouldn't make it with just an infantry.

No matter how many paths there are, you have to walk through one of the woods and bypass the woods further from there to the rear of the enemy. If we do such a long thing, the thinner positions will be ravaged by our enemies.

I can't go through with tanks or horseback riding. I can't make it with an infantry.

But not if you're Zoan.

Initially, the Ethereal Horse thought of Zoan as a cavalry who could run like a horse. For this reason, they were only thinking of fighting in the plains to maximize their mobility.

But the agility of being able to rush through the alley of the town that entered, as Shemr showed, is unlikely to be a cavalry. It belongs more to lightweight infantry.

In other words, Zoan was a race that combined the speed of a cavalry with the agility of a light infantry.

Zoan like that can get through it. I can only make it because I'm such a zoan.

This was the path cut open by the Ethereal Horse only to exploit the properties of Zoan.

Running like a disease through its way out, Garam stays on the spot once he waits for his successor warriors as they pass through the woods. Before long, when all the warriors were in alignment, Gallam said to them in a voice that was never big but passed well.

"The enemy is a few times more than ours. There is no shortage of opponents to fight. And all this fighting trend was entrusted to us. If you're excited about this, he's not Zoan's warrior. - Is there anyone here who's not a warrior?

To Garam's inquiry, everyone returned with an invincible grin.

Show one nod satisfactorily to it, and Gallum sticks his fist out toward Zoog, who was nearby.

I'll take care of that, Zoog.

"Oops. I got it."

Zoog puts his fist against Garam's fist.

Then Gallam turned to the warriors he had led and said away.

"Let's go! Follow me!!"

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Enemy formation, only a few more.

All we have to do is order the heavy-duty spear infantry to storm.

He was the captain of the Cadmos regiment, who clapped out without any alarming traps or anything, but when it comes to ordering an assault that will just be the end of this battle, his blood cannot be stopped from dawning.

It was Cadmos who tried to issue the decree of Zao, but at that time he noticed the noise heard from the rear right. Clarifying his ears, he is apparently screaming and yelling like a yell from the right-wing infantry battalion.

Cadmos turns horseback riding to the right rear wondering what the hell happened.

"What the hell!?"

Cadmos raises his voice and asks, but the soldiers of the infantry battalion are distracted by something and don't even try to answer with their backs to this one.

"Bluffs. What are you doing..."

Cadmos offended his colleague, who was supposed to be commanding a right-wing infantry battalion.

It is then.

Cracked the infantry battalion, and the Zoans jumped out.

The soldiers of the infantry battalion are defeated one after the other in front of Cadmos, flabbergasted by too many events. At last, it was a total collapse, and the soldiers fled to this side with their backs to Zoan, but there was no way in the human foot that they could escape the chase Zoan, and none remained in his hands.

"Why!? Why are the Zoans behind us!?"

Unable to grasp the situation and toward the confused Cadmos, a black-haired Zoan with a brilliant body jumped out of a group of Zoan who kicked the infantry battalion. Zoan holds a mountain knife in both hands and raises his name to Cadmos.

"I am Gallum, son of Garguz, one of the twelve Zoans! Push!

"Become!?"

Cadmos stuck his sword out. At the same time avoiding that cut, the gallam jumped onto the cadmos on the horse, swinging the two mountain swords from left to right, trying to meet the blades together. Besides, Cadmos' body, amputated to the middle of his neck, falls off his horse as he raises a massive amount of bloodshot.

Cadmos, who fell to the ground, shaped his lips to call Darius's name, but it no longer became his voice.

Gallum, who took over Cadmos, rushes toward the heavy-duty spear infantry, surprised by the sudden appearance of Zoan.

"Come before me from those who want to die!

As Zoan's warriors, spearheaded by Garam, penetrated the dense formation, fierce anger and bloodshed splashed around them.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Captain Booges remembered the fierce frustration.

The life of General Darius, laid down to him and his battalion, is to threaten the positions of the rebels from the west and to cover a regiment of heavily armed spear infantry attacking them from the south.

But it hasn't been as effective as I think it is.

The cause of this is the archers of the elves who still shoot arrows at us.

If this one is in range, it will come with incredible accuracy. Thanks to you, we can only shield the rocks and make a mockery of them.

Originally, when against the archers of the elves, it is the stones that strike the great shields side by side. However, because the enemy thought it was just the Zoans, it was a failure to prepare them for stone throwing but only a small round shield. If this is the case, I regret that we should have prepared a great shield, but it is a later festival.

Even though the atmosphere had already begun to creep from the soldiers, Boosis leaked one tongue punch.

"You guys! Look at the enemy line!

Booges is also an excellent commander only to be entrusted by Darius with the support of a regiment of heavy-duty spear infantry. He was familiar with how to inspire the soldiers.

"It's the elf women over there! Look, it's an elf woman! There's an elf woman out there who wouldn't have gotten it if she wasn't a royal nobleman! Attack the enemy and you can love those women! You'll never visit another opportunity like this again!

For the soldiers who were being run over by battlefield madness, there was no better excitement than this. The soldiers make their eyes gleam with beast lust.

It was also in the meantime that Boosis was relieved that morale could now be restored.

Without waiting for a decree of his own, the soldiers in the rear began to climb one hill after another toward the position, screaming. Naturally, the soldiers who go into such reckless behavior are shot dead by the elves one after the other.

This was Boosis, who regretted that the medication worked too well, but it was also an instant and I immediately notice an anomaly.

The screams of the soldiers are more of a scream than a roar, and they care about the rear, not the enemy formations in front of them all the same.

And above all, from the rear of the troops, there is the sound of fierce anger and metal being beaten together.

"Zo, Zoan!?"

What Boosis, looking back, saw was a bunch of Zoan eaten up behind his own troops.

Those are Zouan-led Zouan warriors who came bypassing the rear of the heavy-duty spear infantry regiment. For Booges' battalion, who was pouring his consciousness entirely into the enemy's elves, that suddenly amounted to being hit in the back of the head.

"Why, Zoan from behind!?"

Bouzis, jumping out of the rock where he was hiding himself, backs off as he wields to intimidate the sword in his hand in an attempt to stay away from the impending Zoans at all.

But on its back, severe pain runs with more and more shocks.

If I looked back at something and my back, there was an arrow poking at me.

He was a boogess who was distracted by Zoan and tried to spew words cursing his dumbness that exposed his back to an elf archer, but he was shot in the larynx and desperate by an arrow that jumped into his open mouth.

Troops that lost their commander, yes. The remaining battalion soldiers were also strangled by Zoan and the elves and instantly kicked.

Kicking Booges' infantry battalion, Zug rams a blood-dropping mountain knife into an infantry battalion guarding the left side of the heavy-duty spear infantry regiment.

"They're next! Shit, we're gonna jump into a dead place! Attack the enemy!!"

Led by Zug, Zoan's warriors went roaring and slashing in.
