Hakai no Miko

Episode 45: The Schemer

Destroy the Romanian army at the Rabbian crossing.

To that good news, which was heard a long time ago, King Walius raised his drink. Moreover, the defeated opponent is the Romanian nation, a long-standing enemy of the year. Nothing could be more painful.

"It's brilliant, Alexius! My father's nose is too high for my prince to accomplish so much success!

Before King Walius, who had become nosy as if about us, Alexius, who had returned one foot to the king's capital with only a few offerings, lay on one knee and bowed his head.

"It's no big deal, Father! Dordea is an old man who could not cross a river thirty years ago. You are not the enemy of this Alexius!

To his son's prestigious tongue, King Walius broke up with him.

And now give a spare praise to the little old man who stands side by side with Alexius in a good mood.

"That's right, Sir Pompius! I didn't know the Grand Chancellor was such a wise man!

To the praise of King Walius, an old man with a small bald head like a child - Pompius lowered his head deeply to show it.

"I only made a contribution. It is only with the wisdom of His Majesty King Walius and the power of His Highness Alexius, who has transferred it to practice."

Pompius, who showed so humility, was the one who dedicated this series of measures on the Rabbian River to King Walius.

"But Dordea, I still can't believe it's going to be easy."

Nor can King Walius be compelled to question it.

King Dordea, who has admonished his own growth and calmed the surrounding small nations since his defeat thirty years ago, is also known in the West as the clever old wolf. I never thought that king Dordea would be so stunning into the measures.

"It is in King Dordea's haste"

To King Walius's question, Pompius tells that.

"King Dordea issued the decree of the Conscription West and moved the army in anticipation of our country moving the national army from the east for not slapping the rebel slaves of Bornis. But when we actually came to the Rabbian crossing, we saw that our country was waiting in full swing."

Pompius guesses King Dordea's mood when he sees flags and spears erected even this in the forts of Roylops and Masarca Gateway.

"It is King Dordea's journey to the West of the Last. It is difficult to retreat without ever crossing spears, and it is visible that many soldiers will be lost if attacked. Without retreating, he was not attacked, and King Dordea withdrew. It must have been exactly like a lost man who crashed into a cave of ignorance."

So Pompius showed people a bad grin.

"But there we see the possibility that our soldiers are falsifying that number with a plan."

King Dordea saw the birds gathered around the flags and spears erected in the fort and judged it a counterfeit soldier's measure. But they were birds gathered with breadcrumbs sprinkled over them, who deliberately kept the soldiers away.

"It's the only light of hope I saw in the darkness of ignorance. Can King Dordea ignore this while wandering through the darkness? I must have tried to make sure the light wasn't illusory."

And what touched King Dordea's half-heartedly stretched hand was the wind stream of good news of the fall of Roylops by Robnas.

"The light of hope I saw and the wind flow to the outside world. Until then, the impatience to get out of King Dordea, who had suffered so much in the dark cave, made him miss the slightest discomfort he would have noticed if he had calmed down. - And poor King Dordea."

Pompius points to his feet.

"He fell without realizing the hole to Naruto, who was opening his mouth at his feet."

During the glance as if swallowed by what Pompius said, he quietly returned.

In it Pompius says, slowly opening his hands, as if trying to spread out something magnificent to make it look.

"When you get on the other person's thoughts, make it look like it, and finally turn it upside down. This is the plan of the war."

I heard a sigh of admiration leaking from everywhere during the sight.

That's not all heavy ministers. King Walius also nodded over and over again, showing admiration.

"I see, I see. I knew Sir Pompius' diplomatic and political skill, but I had no idea I could come up with such an excellent plan. I didn't know you were such a ruse. Sir Pompius is Holmeer's best trick!

When King Walius praises him, the minister in line also follows him and says to him, "Exactly, as His Majesty said".

All those who were in the midst of the sight praised this, but Pompius, instead of becoming good at it, rather stuffs himself to King Walius with an impatient look.

"Your Majesty, this has reduced the Romanian threat. Now is a good time to defeat the rebel slaves in the west. I beg your pardon!

King Warius faces Pompius, who advances to crusade western rebel slaves without getting in his hair.

"Ugh, um. - But making the east thin doesn't necessarily mean Romanians aren't attacking again."

In fact, Romanias attacked where they tried to consolidate the east and focus west. If we do the same thing here, it doesn't necessarily mean Romanians aren't attacking us again. Pompius asks King Walius to worry about it.

"It takes a long time for a hugely painful Romanian to rebuild his army. Not to mention the Seoul by King Dordea, which is now the second great defeat. It is difficult for King Dordea to command another quest for the West, and let the Horsemen hesitate to follow it again."

Still for King Walius, who strays, Pompius further says, reinforcing his tone.

"Now my Holmeer country, the Romanian country of the east," he said, raising his right hand, "- the rebel slave of the west," and his left hand.

"We are sandwiched by these two threats. If we leave this alone, one day our country will be crushed from east to west!

Raise and punch your hands together with a pan in front of your chest.

"But now that we have beaten the Romanian nation, we have the perfect opportunity to crush the rebel slaves of the west with all our might. You mustn't miss this!

Though oppressed by the temper of Pompius, King Walius nevertheless cites the anxiety element.

"I am aware of that. But isn't it hard to move the National Army west without Romanians noticing?

Now that the Hordes within Holmea are still drawn to their territory from the impact of the fall of Marben Copper Mountain, there can be no other national army on the eastern border to be ordered to crusade rebel slaves in the west.

But almost the eastern border becomes empty when it becomes just a force to suppress the rebel slaves in one breath. If that leaked, I couldn't abandon the possibility of re-invading with the painful Romanians.

But Pompius laughed off King Walius' concerns.

"Rather, move your soldiers with dignity to make them look like Romanians"

"So, will the Romanian state attack?

"I'm not coming," Pompius affirmed. "In this battle, Romania lost a great deal by luring widows (Kahey) and false enemies. If you retreat your soldiers here in dignity, Romanians will find it difficult to attack again."

Besides, many of the heavy ministers and generals leaked convincing voices.

He was still King Walius, who couldn't make up his mind, but his voice pushes up its back.

"Father! I also endorse Sir Pompius' recommendations!

It was Prince Alexius who spoke so highly.

Standing up with the sound of armor, Alexius shouts out loud so that not only King Walius, but all who were among the beholders, may hear him.

"Now that we have defeated our enemy, Romanian, we will strike down heaven! With that prestige, you can swallow rebel slaves and more! By all means, order this Alexius to crusade rebel slaves!

He was King Walius, who faced Alexius' temper, but when he immediately let his eyes shine, he nodded loudly and showed them.

"Right. If you do, you can easily kick some rebel slaves."

That being said, King Walius rose from the throne and shook up Wang Tin high.

"In the name of Warius Sadma Holmeanis, after the king of the kingdom of Holmea, I command all the lords and generals to once again crusade the rebel slaves of the west!

And all those who were in the midst of the sight said, Whoa! "and raise the voice of excitement.

"And that crusader general, my prince Alexius!

Alexius, pointing Wang Tin at King Walius, orders him on one knee on the spot.

"Yes! Always take the neck of the rebel slave's head, the Son of Destruction, in front of your father!

King Walius, who responded with a nod to Eagle Deep Fried, spreads his arms wide.

"This time, O ye all, it is with Alexis that we show the authority of our Holmea!

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Pompius, who resigned from the venue of the victory celebration and turned in one turn into the venue of the military council of the rebel slave crusade, was walking down the aisle of a single royal palace.

Along the way, when I plugged into the aisle facing the courtyard of the royal palace, Fu and Pompius' legs stopped. When the stopped Pompius looked in the courtyard, a blue sky with no clouds peered from it.

"Holmeer's best trick, or..."

Leaked from the lips of Pompius looking up at the blue sky is the praise of King Walius, who was directed at himself earlier.

There is a faint grin in Pompius's mouth.

"That's Holmea's best general. No wisdom, no fading."
