Hakai no Miko

Lesson 52: Wolf Smoke

In the midst of a feverish chill, the Ethereal Horse had something new to tell everyone.

"This battle is a big one for many to join. It is difficult for me alone to command all of it. So I'm going to appoint a few generals to lead each unit."

To the words of the Ethereal Horse, everyone said, "Oh!," he exclaimed.

If he were to be a general, he would be placed at first sight and second sight from around him. To that general, everyone waited for the name of the Ethereal Horse to be named on his chest with anticipation and envy as to who the hell would be chosen.

"First, Jaharngil Hetherm Jarouge!

The first to be named was Jaharngil, Dinosaurian's strongest warrior.

"I leave you to the Dragon General! As SS, I'll take care of my neighborhood and the guards!

To this HR, a twitch occurred from among those who knew Jaharngil.

No matter how brave Dinosaurians are, only more than seventy are under the Ethereal Horse. Rather than using it as a soldier, this is the best human resource if you look at its brave name and individual combat power, and let it guard the vicinity of the Ethereal Horse as SS, and enhance the majesty of the Ethereal Horse by its presence.

The problem, however, is that in addition to that, he also gave the position of Superintendent.

An army is a police mechanism within an army that monitors and, in some cases, arrests and punishes allied generals for not violating military rules - what is now called a gendarmerie (kempei). Because I was unconvinced by Ethereal Horse's HR to give Jaharngil such an important position.

But there's no reason to think so either. Speaking of Jahangil, he doesn't just take a nap in the garden of the Lords' Mansion on a daily basis and does anything, but he's a man who behaves as he pleases, so to speak, with the military at his best.

Most importantly, the Ethereal Horse himself also initially showed difficulty in this candidate.

In fact, it was Solon, whoever it was, who strongly pushed Jahangil into the prison army. Solon said this to the Ethereal Horse, confused by Jahangil's election to the Supervisory Army.

"That man, even if he tells you to defend your discipline and your life without a headache, will backfire. Or rather, give you the position of Superintendent and heavy responsibilities. If you do, then that person is to arouse and take the initiative and abide by the military code. And the way he usually behaves as he pleases and takes the lead in keeping the rules, that's the only way to let the others know how much the rules weigh."

The Ethereal Horse was convinced that it would be. Of course, that doesn't solve all the anxieties. Just in case, I won't forget to insure Jaharn Gill against a rampage.

"Mehrzad, Nieushire, Pearlshire!

The Ethereal Horse went on to call the names of Jaharngil's three sons. The three called stretch their tails and spines pinned.

"The three of you assist my father and commit yourself to accomplishing that duty"

As a threat to keeping discipline, Meflzard, who stirs up his father's unbeatable ferocity, will serve as a suppression for his father and elder brother, who tend to run wild, both against the oligarchy but honest Nieusher and other races.

Next, the Ethereal Horse calls the name of the Dwarf warrior with the axe spear.

"Dvarin! I entrust you to the Ground Admiral and to the Dwarf Heavy Infantry. Norzuri shall also be his deputy general!

Dvarin silently slapped his chest armor to show acceptance, and Norzuri, the warrior chief of the Dwarves of Marben Copper Mountain, rocks his moustache and laughs.

"I expect everyone in Dwarf to act as a heavy-duty infantry, but more than that, I also expect to act as an engineer such as building positions and assembling weapons. It is only with Dwarf's high skill that we can place great trust in the battlefield."

Transfer your gaze from a dwarf who responds by poking the ground with a silently handed axe spear or battle hammer pattern head to the beautiful forest fairies this time.

"Eladia Oldwood! I entrust you to the Bow General, and I entrust you to the Elf Archer. I also ask for its extraction when there is a place for meetings and negotiations on the battlefield. Meetings and negotiations are a blade-free battle. In a way, we can say that it is a tougher and more important battle than actually crossing blades. Mind you!"

Eladia should also be wrapped up in a fierce exaltation (like this), but she does not put it on the table and worships it with the same elegance as usual. Along with that, the elves aligned behind her rattled the strings of bows that could not connect the arrows.

"Pipi tot gigigi! I leave you to the bird general. Even so, only those of your own kind, who are less than twenty, lead the way. But I believe the power of Harpuran is immense. The speed of the transmission accomplished by its wings. The certainty of the scourge. In all of that, it outweighs other races. That is why I have made you a general, led only by those less than twenty. Carve that meaning firmly into your chest."

Pipi, on one knee, expressed his sincerity by spreading his wings trembling with excitement to lay low on the earth. The other Harpurans lay their wings down on the ground to match it.

"Marcronis! I leave you to the people general. I will also put Setius on the deputy generals because of that hope. Your responsibilities are serious. The people of the world see us as a race rebellion hostile to the human race. Even if we are still interested in the country, it becomes a nation of non-human races. In order not to do so, we must show the world that humans have also been a force to fight together and to interest the country. I want you to do everything you can!

Marcronis, who was even assistant squadron captain at the fort of the Holmeer Country on the plain, grinned invincibly at his face, and Setius, who was also squadron captain of the fort, blurted (probably) his face, pulling out both swords that were worn (were) on his hips up to half, before making a noise and delivering them to the sheath.

Now the generals of Dinosaurians, Dwarves, Elves, Harpurans, Humans and Five Races were appointed.

The only species left with this is Zoan, except Marman, who is not yet under the pale horse.

Speaking of Zoan, he was the first leading species to support the Ethereal Horse, while still being responsible for his greatest force. If we become generals headed by warriors of that important race, our powers and responsibilities will be greater than those previously named.

So no one cares who's next to be called by name.

And what floats behind everyone's brain is the black-haired brave Faggle Gargus Gallum.

Gallam is the fruitful brother of Shemr, who he acknowledges as the first minister of the Ethereal Horse, and also has serious trust from the Ethereal Horse. All that, he was the first chief of the Zoans of the Sorbiant Plains to embrace the Ethereal Horse, the "Fang Clan", and the great chief who led all the Zoans of the Plains. Even a call to the strongest of the plains would be a convincing human resource for everyone if it were to be a high brave man. Rather, it was unlikely that anyone but him would be Zoan's general.

"Angry Claws" Kraga Bigana Zug!

But what the Ethereal Horse called was the name of Zug.

In everyone's uniform surprise, only one strangely convinced facial zoog said, "Whoa!".

"I leave you to the Beast General. I will also put Menuin Bararak Banukah on that deputy general!

Banukkah, the young man of "The Family of Takeshi", who didn't think his name would be called, will look surprised.

"The main force of my army is undoubtedly the Zoan warriors. It is no exaggeration to say that it is that activity that determines the victory or defeat of the battle. Even if everyone else worked well, if Zoan's warrior loses, that is, it is our defeat. I want both names to fully understand and strive for their responsibilities."

In contrast to Zug, who keeps his chest open all the time telling him to leave it at his disposal, Banuka, who was left to Zoan's deputy general, aside from Galam, becomes suspicious of behavior because he cares firmly about his surrounding reactions. Also, as if the upset of that banukah had been conveyed, a whimpering voice could be heard from among the Zoans.

The Ethereal Horse shouted, as he struck out the blur.

"And The Fierce Tooth Faggle Gargus Gallum!

At last, in the name of Gallam called, the Zoans shut their mouths in astonishment.

The general of each of the six races that are already here has just been decided. There is no longer a race to lead even as a general. Yet I come here and wait for the words of the Ethereal Horse with suspicion and anticipation as to why Gallam's name was called.

And the Ethereal Horse said he would breathe in heavily.

"I entrust you to the Great General who commands and directs the other six generals!

Besides, the Zoans shoved their hands up and cheered.

Gallum, the person of the day, becomes confused for a while not understanding the words of the Ethereal Horse. In the meantime, the compatriots who were around him make bashful noises and slap the back and shoulders of the gallam, giving them a rough blessing.

Gallum finally understood the situation and stared at Zoog, who stood next to him with a translating face.

"Hey, Zoog. Did you know that?

"No," he said, shrugging his shoulders. "But I didn't know it would happen."

Then tell me.

While I think Gallum will hit eight, I also want to complain about one of them. But besides, Zoog laughs at Niyaniya with his eyes narrowed just one of them.

"Well, that's boring, isn't it? - Plus, I said your face earlier."

Gallum seriously thinks about hitting Zoog with a giggle shaking his shoulder in the wind that he can't get over it.

But before I could do that, Shemr came and told me to stand on the table with the Ethereal Horse.

As if even a puppy were to get rid of him, Garam, dropped off by Zug, who pays his sissy hand, rises to the table with Shemr.

"Hopefully, these things are something I want you to tell me beforehand"

At the top of the opening, the pale horse turns into a troubled face when he tells the complaint yes.

"Because that's what Shemr says it's better to keep quiet"

Gallum stares at his sister as a guillotine.

But Shemr says often with a face when he arms himself in front of that rich chest.

"The Flashing Fang is surprisingly feminine. If I tell her in advance, she'll probably say," I'm loaded "or something, and recommend" Angry Claws ". Then all of a sudden, if you punch him in the face, he's going to make you hungry."

To his sister, who talks all about her thoughts as a famous idea, Gallam says, unexpectedly, "You idiot, you are!" I can see all the time that I'm about to yell.

The Ethereal Horse spoke to such a gallam.

"Mr. Gallam. I made my way to the war, and I made plans to anticipate the general course of the war and win. But war is a creature. I don't know what will happen. Your judgment as a brave man is necessary to read such a breath of battle and to cope with a situation you did not anticipate. If you have to, take my place, command the entire army, and save us."

If the Ethereal Horse tells me so far, I do have to get belly. Gallum, nevertheless, leaked one sigh.

"Okay. - If it's okay with me, I'll do my best."

To Garam's answer, the Ethereal Horse broke his face.

"Okay, General. I'd like an order to appear, please."

Gallum stands next to the Ethereal Horse and turns to everyone.

Those on the spot. Gallum lifts up his voice, aware that all his gaze gathers to himself.

"My brethren! Different fighters! No, don't fight!

And stick that thick right hand up into the sky.

"Out of line!

Besides, how dare we all summon.

"" Oops!! "

Gallum, who saw it, turned to the pale horse standing next to him.

"By the way, Soma"

The pale horse, voiced by Gallam, said, "What is it?" and shake his neck.

"Now I'm the general."

"Is that what it is?

"So, what's your position?

The Ethereal Horse is stiff with his eyes open often. Then, open your mouth softly.

I had no idea.

All I thought about was handing out generals for each race and grand generals on top of it in order to get the army in shape, and I completely forgot about myself.

I made Garam a general, so I have to be in a higher position than that. In the lord of the city of Bornis, that would be a little short.

I get the title Nation King, but that's only for Zoan. To lead a mixed army of six races, it doesn't deserve it.

I also wonder if it would be a good idea to name a king.

"Uh... what do we do?

Gallam and Shemr sighed at the pale horse with a pulling grin.

"As always, you're missing."

"Don't make me scratch too much shame, it's my" you under the umbilical. "

These two brothers and sisters, representing Zoan, frightened me.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

On that day, a guard soldier standing on the crossing of the Conte River found it at a time when the sun was also about to lean west.

The crossing has been a peaceful one since the army of rebel slaves who ended the Marben Copper Mountain raid retreated.

Again, there were stories of soldiers of rebel slaves gathering in the city of Bornis, but before this it took a long time before they left the city and came here. They'll be here again, too, for the time being.

From such a relaxation, when the rebel slaves had just left, they were watching those with the city of Bornis with tension, but now they were chatting with their companions.

"Hmm? What is that...?

In that, one soldier said, pointing to the west sky. As my fellow soldiers turned their eyes towards you, I saw some small shadows in the western sky.

"It's a bird, isn't it? What's wrong with that?

"What? Isn't that a lot of big birds?

Soldiers who were spared time say things that are appropriate to their mouths just as they are spared time.

But it is also only for a few moments.

As they approached and found out who the growing shadow was, the soldiers changed their blood phase and raised their voices.

"Ha, harpuan?!, enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

The crossing garrison becomes noisy in the news of enemy raids.

But that was too late.

With the speed of Harpuan's flight, said to be able to fly a thousand miles with its wings, there is no such thing as getting to the top of the garrison, faster than the Holmea soldiers getting intercepted.

Harpuan's daughters, who flew over the garrison one after the other, hung a tiny pot with a leather string about the head of a baby on their feet. From the mouth of the pot, a thousand red flames flying in the fierce wind caused by flight.

"Guys, keep going with me -!

Pipi, who shouted in a tall voice like a human girl, rushed towards a cabin near the base of the bridge. And on the verge of hitting the cabin, Pipi releases the kettle leatherstring he was grabbing with his leg, and soars.

The pot, which flew to the cabin as the law of inertia remained, smashed when it hit the wall and scattered the contents of black liquid around it.

It is oil.

The oil, scattered, sparked the next moment, leaping a red flame.

Besides, that's not the end of it. Following Pipi, one Harpuan's daughters slammed the same fire kettle into the cabin. In the bombing of this harpuran, the hut burst into flames in an instant (again), causing black smoke to rise into the sky.

It was the werewolf smoke (curse) of the war announcing the full-scale battle between "Son of Destruction" Soma Kisaki and the male Holmeer nation of the West Side.
