Hakai no Miko

On the outskirts of the city of Bornis, many soldiers were gathered.

It is the soldiers whom the Ethereal Horse summoned as well as revealing his covenant with Romanian. That number is roughly one thousand. The majority of them are Zoan and the humans, but they were seen as dwarves and elves and harpurans and dinosaurians, trying to cross there.

It is a multiracial mixed army.

In this continent of Cerdeas, where there will be no other army than that of the races.

Before that mixed army, the Ethereal Horse was letting his voice play with excitement.

"Good. Looks like we got together more than I thought."

To the words of the Ethereal Horse, Shemru nodded Unh Unh with a face that went into one pleasure: "This is also the virtue of my" You Under the Umbrella ".

"Quite a few, but that's all."

It was former National Army soldier Marcronis, who was an assistant squadron leader in a plain fort, who watered there. Marcronis, who took Fagle Jagata Gurkaka, who became the deputy chief of the Fang clan, and the warrior chief of both claws and tentacles, explains to the Ethereal Horse as he points out the soldiers.

"We captain those who offered us a commute among the captives who were engaging in the pioneering of the plains, and we lead the volunteers. However, many of the volunteers are recruits who have never fought before. You'll need a coach."

As far as the Ethereal Horse can tell, each unit seems to be neatly aligned and under the command of the soldiers. Marcronis laughs bitterly when he tells it.

"We're just in line now. Move your troops and you'll find the march suspicious."

"Really? - Now let's coach the recruits while we march as planned. I'll take care of that."

I entrust Marcronis with the training of recruits, and I urge Gurkaka and the others to follow Marcronis' instructions.

Aside from the knowledge and experience of mass warfare, there is no one in line for Marcronis among the factions of the Ethereal Horse. However, many of Zoan's warriors did not make it a good idea to follow the instructions of Marcronis, a human being, from the certainty of the past, who was still pursued through the plains. For this reason, the warrior commander of each clan was placed under the command of Marcronis.

Marcronis bows his head again to the Gurkakas on this occasion.

"I know you don't want to follow me as a human being, but I hope this is also for victory and sweetness."

And Gurkaka answers on behalf of him.

"The strength of man in the battle in groups is stained and known. There is no objection if it is to learn it. I swear by my father and my blade, I will obey your instructions."

The glucacas pulled only half of their hips' mountain swords out of their sheaths, saying the words of their vows. Besides, Marcronis bows his head again and then turns back to the Ethereal Horse.

"We are just now in peasant idleness and will continue to gather volunteers from the plains. I want to leave that response to Setius, okay?

Do you still feel uncomfortable getting under the Ethereal Horse, or have you recently pushed your subordinates to the absence of Bornis whose face has only been affixed to your face? The attitude is blurry, but the duties conferred upon him do so in good faith. The Ethereal Horse knew the character of Setius and approved it in a mundane reply.

Next, the Ethereal Horse turns his eyes to Menuin Bararak Banukah, the son of the chief.

"Mr. Banuka also asks for a summary of the coming Zoan warriors and their absence. Basically, captain the warriors who participated in the last battle and place five to ten new warriors at a time."

The instructions given by this Ethereal Horse are due to Marcronis' proposal.

In Zoan's warriors, who only know battles that rely on the bravery of traditional individuals, they can sometimes behave on their own. So, by putting a warrior on his head who has already gone through a battle with General Darius and who places his trust in the command of the Ethereal Horse, he intends to curb such an individual's rampage.

"I understand! Leave it to this Menuin Bararak Banuka!

The figure of Banukkah, who slaps one in his chest and proclaims it, seems much more dependable than it was five years ago. But if I could, I wanted you to turn to me and say it, not to Shemr standing next to me.

Furthermore, the Ethereal Horse speaks to Joash, who had come all the way out of the city to drop him off.

"Mr. Joash. What is he doing?

To the question of the Ethereal Horse, Joash sighed loudly.

"I'd like you to consider my position."

Though on top of shape he opened a small chamber of commerce in the city of Bornis to exit the merchant guild of Jeboa, Joash still has a thick connection to his parents' Shapiro Chamber of Commerce. If you stay too detrimental to the Merchant Alliance, it spills stupidity when the wind feels stronger towards the Shapiro Chamber of Commerce.

When the Ethereal Horse said he would make up properly, Joash shrugged his shoulder.

"Well, I'm not even hiding it, let me tell you because it's something you'll find out as soon as you find out. - That one said he made more plans than usual for the Holmeer country. I'd love to use my cheap farm feet to make transportation less expensive, but if it's a full-scale battle, I won't be able to carry loads."

To the answer, the pale horse nodded satisfactorily.

"All right! - Well, shall we go?"

Saying so, the Ethereal Horse headed for Dinosaurian's unit. Jahangil, who led them, held the reins of one blue-haired horse, and his nose was rough and waiting for the pale horse.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jahangil"

When the Ethereal Horse spoke that way, Jaharngil leaked one loud snort.

Only seventy or so Dinosaurians are under the Ethereal Horse at this time. Now, no matter how strong the Dinosaurians are on the battlefield, they cannot be expected to be the main force. Therefore, it was decided to put a foil on the Ethereal Horse whose appearance was unreliable, and to take on the role of the Ethereal Horse SS as the last bulwark to protect itself.

Jaharn Gill has been in such a good mood since I told him that. Even now, my tail is constantly shaking hard.

Receiving such a reins from Jahangil's hand, Shemr nodded to the Ethereal Horse to ride the horse.

"Raise the flag, Mr. Mollard!

When the Ethereal Horse, who became a man on the horse, twists his body and looks back, he orders Morad, who was a former slave of Dinosaurian who was there. Then Mollard nodded silently, then unwrapped the string that had been tied round the flag and put the flagpole firmly together and stood.

It is the flag of the General of the Ethereal Horse, prepared for this battle against Holmea.

It is an important flag that is always erected near the Ethereal Horse and serves to show the enemy allies where the Ethereal Horse is and its survival on the confused battlefield.

But the Dwarves, the Dwarves entrusted with making it, worked a little too hard.

It is good to have tried to make it a big flag, as you can see at a glance from afar, but what a big flag that could have been made has become a huge one: three melts vertically (about a meter for a melt) and six melts horizontally.

Besides, it was a bad idea to make it sturdy so it wouldn't rip with strong winds or be torn with arrows flying across the battlefield. Flags made by stitching together thick fabrics in two more layers weigh considerably just that.

In addition, the flagpole was as thick as a person's arm and reinforced with metal so that the flag could be supported without breaking even if it was in strong wind.

The total weight of the flag thus made is that it is finally lifted by the power of humans and dwarves, so much so that even the Dinosaurians are somewhat spared.

Mollard was the only one who could handle this flag without difficulty.

Morad, who says he is an ex-slave, has no experience in fighting, and is not good at fighting himself, initially planned to put him in a luggage holding and other miscellaneous roles. But for these reasons he was given the honor of flag bearer of the general's flag.

In a cloudless blue sky, the black flag erected by Morad poured into the wind.

"Come on, let's go!

When the Ethereal Horse, who saw it through, waved her arms wide on the horse and shouted, "Whoa! Together with the loud voice, the drum of the march is beaten and the horn blows.

"Towards the eastern crossing, march begins!

He spearheaded the Ethereal Horse surrounded by Dinosaurian SS, and more than a thousand soldiers rang their military boots and moved.

There were several men watching the sight from afar.

They are on a hill close to the city of Bornis. The men observed the army led by Ethereal Horse for a while before writing something down on a small piece of paper. And when you take one bird out of the bird cage that was ready, you tie the paper to its feet and let it go into the sky. It's a bird that was circling over the sky for a while, but then it flew straight east. The men who confirmed it jump on a horse that was hidden in the shadow of the hill and run east as well.

"Hey, Soma"

To the pale horse who rides the horse who takes the wax, Shemru snuggles his chin across the hill on his left. When the Ethereal Horse turned her eyes to the one she showed, she saw a small ride running away with her back to this one. Probably the scourge of the Holmeer country.

"What do we do?

The Ethereal Horse shook his neck to the side to show Shemr, who asked extraordinarily if he would use the warrior of Harpuran or Zoan to make him capture him.

"You can leave me alone. We need them to report us safely."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The Son of Destruction will enlist.

The report was immediately conveyed to the Royal Palace of Holmea by the birds for the message and the scouts on the early horses.

"The leader of a rebel slave named Son of Destruction has marched from the city of Bornis!

A scout with dirt and dust strapped to his face in the form of a dry sweat falls on one knee during the sight where the heavy ministers are, reporting from the throne to King Walius, who looks down upon himself.

"The number of soldiers led is roughly more than a thousand. Many human figures were also seen, not just the slaves of Zoan and subhumanity. At the beginning, you'll find the Son of Destruction and the Thought (Bobo) Man and a black flag you've never even seen!

The scouts offered King Walius a piece of paper via the hands of his squire that he had the painter draw a pattern embroidered on a black flag.

"... what is this?

What was depicted on the open paper was the first pattern King Walius saw.

But what a creepy pattern to stir people's anxiety. It's like a combination of 8 and ∞ of numbers, then a creepy diagram of two serpents intertwining their bodies and also appearing to punch around.

"Who, does this look familiar to you?

Many of the heavy ministers beheaded the drawings shown by King Walius without realizing it.

But only one of the heavy ministers, who looked familiar to it, moves forward.

"I'm afraid, Your Majesty. It was rumored among the folk grass yesterday, and the minister will say whether it was the engraving."

King Walius, too, had heard the rumors.

"This is the example engraving…"

King Walius, so grunting, couldn't help but feel something frigid in his spine.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"What's up, Soma?

Shemr spoke to the barebacked Ethereal Horse who cared about his back from earlier.

"Uh-huh. I knew this flag..."

Ahead of the gaze of the Ethereal Horse is a large flag firmly erected by Morad with both hands.

He still flicks back at the big flag that hits the wind, and then Shemr leaks a sigh.

"We've discussed that a lot..."

As Shemr said, we discussed the drawings of the General's flag with everyone. A number of candidates were put forward, but in the end a certain pattern was chosen, which everyone could see as a pale horse.

"Whoever sees it can see it's your flag at a glance."

"Well, yes..."

While acknowledging Shemr's argument, the pale horse was nevertheless an uninterrupted mouthpiece.

"But this is really not his engraving."

Embroidered in silver thread on the black flag that the Ethereal Horse looked up to was the engraving of Aura, the goddess of death and destruction, also pale on the Ethereal Horse's forehead.

This was the "black flag of Soma" in future generations, who said, "Once (once) it was turned on the battlefield, all enemies or even allies were afraid."
