Hakai no Miko

The General, who leads the Third Army, also noticed a group of people coming up with soot and smoke and walking away.

…… Was that the Zoans?! "

As its general says, it was the great army of Zoan.

That's roughly two thousand. They're all four legs, and they're walking toward this one, heavily soaking up soil and smoke.

It is, of course, Fagle Gargus Gallum, the man known as the strongest brave man on the plains, who runs that front line.

"Everybody, don't cower!

Garam shouts out as he runs through the earth with four legs.

"Think of that as a cow! It's a cow with a little dangerous horns! We Zoan would be good at hunting cows!

Though he has been amazed by cavalry and tanks using horses that are not on the plains, Zoan was originally challenged by wild cattle with one mountain knife, a species that has hunted it. I specialize in large wild animals.

Following that inspiration, Faggul Jagata Gurkaka, a warrior of war who is putting together the Fang Clan instead of Galam, who became the Great Sheikh, screams.

"We're going to hunt some cows named Holmea!

And not only the Fang Clan, but all the warriors said, "Oops!," he chanted.

The gallum that confirms it makes a lot of noise and accelerates.

Arrows and spears flew from the tank squad as one protruded and rushed towards the gallum. But in front of Gallum's run, which makes him leap to the left and right and does not set his aim, all of them just stand vainly on the earth.

Gallum, with his arrows and spears, accelerated even further.

Gallum, transformed into a single shell, rushes into an enemy tank squad with its momentum.

"Stupid beast! Keep crushing him with your horse!

When the General, who was in the leading chariot, commands you to do so, grasp the chariot wooden frame firmly to prepare for the impact of the collision.

No matter how gallam you call the strongest brave man on the plains, I'm just sorry if you bump into each other from the front with a horse. Can I put it on my horseshoe, or can I be sprayed? At the moment it seems so, Gallum makes a sudden stop by trying to scrape the ground.

And I barked.

Gallum then tries to blur the horse's nose tip and jumps straight to the side to avoid a collision.

The horses who were towing tanks were also surprised by this. It stops abruptly on the spot.

But the tank that was being towed doesn't.

Momentum that went to sudden braking and lost ground jumped the body up in search of an escape route. And when you think that the jumping chariot broke into the universe, slowly arguing with the horse's cuckoo, the next moment, you get soaked and beaten to the ground in front of the horse.

The general and his lord, who were in a torrently torn chariot as if they were going to explode, were almost instant dead.

In addition, a subsequent tank inevitably rides up the wreckage. The tank that made the wreckage look like a jump platform and jumped through the universe manages to land, but it splashes apart without withstanding its impact. The horses who were towing the chariot dragged away only the wax and ran away somewhere.

Shortly after confirming the effects of such a battle, Gallum was moving further.

When he manages to leap towards the tank he was trying to get through avoiding the wreckage, he pulls out his bragging two-dagger mountain knife in the air. No, look at this one. Run the blade to the neck of the lord and soldier, who is surprised to see Ah. The man and the soldier fell from the top of a tank that kept running, spraying a lot of blood from his neck.

Zoan's war will burn even after the action of the Great Sheikh, who instantly finished three tanks.

"Everybody, keep going to the Great Sheikh!

Along with the screams of Gurkaka, one Zoan warrior after another struck a tank.

Some marvel at horses and roll chariots, as if they were a force to hunt down herds of cattle, while others dance directly to soldiers and men in chariots.

Naturally, some of them were unlucky warriors who lost their lives with bows and arrows and spears.

But at speed they do not pull on tanks either, and in agility they overwhelmingly prevail, and yet the Zoans reach ten times the number of tanks. In no time, the tank squad was destroyed.

And what was unlucky for the Holmeer State side was that in this era it was the officers, lords, etc. who rode the tank - that is, the commanders of the troops.

The Third Army, which suddenly loses many commanders, loses control.

Also many of the soldiers the lords have led are the peasants who were driven out as labor. Originally out on the battlefield reluctantly, the killing of their own lords in front of them also wiped out the war spirit that had been scarce (with) from the beginning.

"The lord's been hit! Run! Zoan's gonna kill you!

Cutting the cry off, the infantry fled at first sight.

Those were Zoan warriors who tried to chase it, but Garam stops it.

"No pursuit required!

Gallum turns his sword to the Second Army of the Crusading Army of the Holmeer Country, which will flank this way.

"We're going to storm the main enemy at once!

In response to Garam's voice, Shru began to tap the drum of the assault.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... have you been crossed?"

When Zug heard the drums that Garam slapped as he entered the Second Army, he leaked his tongue regrettably.

Unlike the third army against which Garam was opposed, it was the officers of the National Army who led the infantry of the fourth army, which became the opponent of Zug. The officer managed to keep the infantrymen who tried to escape by crushing the tank squad in front of him, just like the Third Army, and challenged the Zugs to battle.

But that was the other way around.

Leading the Zoans they were about to fight was Raga Bigana Zug, the Angry Claw, who was praised for exceeding even the strongest brave Galam on the plains if only for its strength, and whose battle intensity was feared to cause even his compatriots to tremble.

Seeing that the enemy infantry would not retreat even if they destroyed the tank unit. No, Zug, with a fierce grin, stripped his fangs, took and slashed the elusive fierce men from among the Claw Families.

After that, it was just a massacre.

Zoog cracks the brains out of each helmet with a big blow of a mountain knife, and the slashing opponent slaps his face from the back of his head to the ground, while the opponent, who turns his back to escape, crushes the spine of every dorsal back with a strong forward kick blow.

The warriors of the Claw Clan, inspired by the battle of that Zug, also performed a fierce battle no less than their own chief.

The warriors of the other families were surprised when they peeled off their eyes.

Zug was once a man who was feared to be a mad warrior not only by his fellow countrymen, but also by those of other clans. But five years ago, he had just joined hands with the hostile Garam, who had pushed the Garam strongly against the Great Patriarch, and since then, he has served as the Great Patriarch.

A lot of people secretly rumored that Angry Claws also broke their claw teeth before the Wind of Raging Fangs.

But Zoan's warriors, who were there, are reminded that it was a mistake.

Instead of being broken, that Angry Claw just remembered to hide the claw fangs that were always peeling off. And the nail fangs polished while hiding were more sharp than before.

The warriors of "Claw Clan" will look good at the way the warriors of other clans turn their hair upside down, saying they were insulting a hell of a lot of people.

Zug, the person of the day, was the wind that blows his reputation and so on. Instead, the Claw Clans were outraged by rumours that they were being insulted by their chiefs.

And so I said to the reaction of the warriors of those other families, "You see! This is our claw clan chief!" And yes, their eyes were talking.

"Well, and..."

Having finished sweeping the enemy as one, Zug looked around at Zoan's warriors.

- You're having fun.

None of Zoan's warriors could react to these abrupt words. Zoog looks strange even though no one returns the word.

"Hmm? What? Aren't you guys having fun?

Zoog laughs, peeling his fangs off.

"I'm having fun. They are powerful enemies whose fathers, mindless as they are, have spoken of their strength. From now on, beat them up. There's no way this isn't fun."

A fighting spirit similar to enthusiasm arose from among Zoan's warriors.

Seeing it, Zoog lifts his lips to contentment and laughs, slapping himself on the shoulder with the back of his proud mountain knife.

"Come on, let's go. Aim, those heavy-duty spear infantry men! I'm not leaving him with prey for the kind of guy I'm bringing, so think so!

To put it that way. Zug ran out of the lead. Afterwards, Zoan's warriors, inspired by his struggle, continued as he raised his voice.

"Oh, my God. I feel sorry for the soldiers in the Crusades."

So spilled was General Marcronis, who was leading a mixed Dwarf and human unit that was relative to the Fourth Army.

As far as Marcronis can tell, there is no more front-line general than Zug. The stripping struggle burns to the soldier who leads it, turning everyone into a warrior who knows no fear. If he leads, even sheep will be beasts that bite the wolves to death.

"Hey, General. Aren't we going too?

Speaking to Marcronis was a Dwarf warrior who followed him as a deputy officer instead of Setius to direct the Dwarf.

"Naturally, I'm going."

In response to the Dwarf's question, Marcronis replied with the face that it was even out-of-heart.

"Because Master Soma also tells me. If you think you've lost your hand here, you lose your human position. - Come on, it's going to follow Zoan!

Along with Marcronis's decree, humans and Dwarves also stormed the heavily armed spear infantry following Zoan.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"What...! It's not just the dwarves and humans that are attacking the sides, it's the Zoans?!"

So stunned Huakis, the conductors nodded before continuing further.

"There was not a single tank unit of the Third Army that was ambushed by more than 2,000 Zoans to the point where they were dealing with Dwarves and human mixed units. Also, look at that. The infantry escapes and the Third Army is devastated!

"The same goes for this one! The Zoans, who defeated the Fourth Army, were brought into melee at once as this one stormed after heavy attacks by throwing stones before setting up a defensive posture! That's why it's so damaging!

In view of the war situation so far, it must have been the Zoans who had opposed themselves until earlier that assaulted the Third and Fourth armies.

That is, what is happening is the interdiction of the Second Army flank by the Zoans, who have moved from disguised retreat.

"Son of Destruction! Do you want to make me suffer from the same eyes as you?!"

I'm trying to recreate a battle near the city of Bornis that defeated General Darius.

Huakis was so wary.

But things were more serious than even imagined.

"Orders! Orders! To the Deputy Commander of the Huakis Regiment, this is transmission!

Plus there, a horseman from the rear brings the worst news.

"This is a request for rescue from General Lakius of the First Army! Currently, the First Army is engaged with the Zoans who have assaulted us! It won't last long in the First Army of Archers and Lightweight Infantry! Rescue!

"What?!"

Huakis felt blood draw from his face all at once.

The First Army should have been worn out by the Elf Archers and now down to the rear of the Second Army. Its first army is under attack.

What this means is that the status quo is not just a blackmail on the Second Army.

"My son of destruction! You, no way! No way......!

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

In a military conference opened prior to the battle, the Ethereal Horse asked everyone:

"It's a battle with Holmea, but with what do we have to win?

Besides, they all looked at each other.

I've waited awhile and no one will answer me for saying this. Sooner or later, Gallum mouths the answer he sees reasonable first.

"Shouldn't we kick the crusaders directed at us, or take the neck of the Holmeer prince who is leading it?

The victory conditions cited by Garam were those which most would have been convinced of in the Serdeas continent of this era.

"It's just a victory in this battle."

But the Ethereal Horse shook his neck to the side.

"The victory I seek is a victory over the Holmeer nation itself."

In everyone's surprise at what the Ethereal Horse said, Marcronis quality (just) doubts.

"Are you going to attack the King's capital, Holmenia? That would be too reckless."

If we are to triumph over the kingdom of Holmea, we must go up to the king's capital, and name the head of King Walius.

However, the king capital of the Holmeer country, Holmenia, is a historic fortified city. Its defenses are hard, and it has plenty of food and other storage. When it comes to attacking a king's capital like that, that's not a lifetime. In addition, if there were any hassle in the attack, we would be surrounded by soldiers of the gods who knew and gathered about the predicament of the king's capital, and now we would be in a predicament.

Yet the Ethereal Horse denies its Marcronis concerns.

"We will not attack the king's capital."

Then, to all those who question how to win the Holmeer country, the Ethereal Horse set aside a beat before affirming:

"I will win the Holmeer Nation itself in this crossing!

Everyone is stunned by the words of the Ethereal Horse.

Feeling that the surprise gaze of all those people could be directed at them, the Ethereal Horse showed a large table that everyone surrounded.

There was a map of the vicinity of the crossing, which would serve as a battlefield, on which were many consultations with Marcronis and others, with pawns arranged in the form of a formation that I think would most likely be laid by the Holmeer National Crusaders.

The Ethereal Horse begins to move the pawn in his hand as everyone stares.

"First, eliminate enemy archer units by elf archers. Then we retreat as we sharpen the enemy's main heavy-duty spear infantry with Zoan's stones."

The Ethereal Horse keeps the pawn moving as he rushes around the table.

"Zoan splits left and right in disguise of retreat, luring enemies forward in front of the main force"

Divide the pawn showing Zoan into two pieces and push it to the left and right of the main formation. And he pushed it out without putting together a piece of pawn indicating "black wall" where it was empty.

"And with the massive amount of siege weapons we have prepared inside the fort in Haribote, I will slap this with all my might!

When the Ethereal Horse slaps his fist inside a chunk of black pawns, a number of pawns start flying.

Besides, an exclamation leaked out of everyone's mouth.

But the Ethereal Horse doesn't stop with that.

"But an attack with a siege weapon only confuses the enemy and stops its legs"

The Ethereal Horse rushes around to the left and right of the table and moves the pawn showing Zoan, who was lowering to the left and right of the main formation when it comes to disguised retreats, to the left and right of the "Black Wall" pawn.

"While the enemy was in turmoil, we moved the Zoans, who were disguised as retreating, to the side of the 'Black Wall'. It pinches and chews enemies as if they were the upper and lower jaws of a beast. Plus, it blocks the rear and swallows enemies at once!

The pale horse's hand stopped, which was moving the pawn on the board violently.

Then, on a map spread out on the table, the pawns showing themselves completely surrounded the enemy pawns.

"I mean, is this...?!"

To this whine that no one knows, the Ethereal Horse gives a small nod and looks.

"Yes! There's only one thing I want! The annihilation of the 'Black Wall', a symbol of Holmea's martial arts! By this, I will prevail over the Holmeer Country!

Victory over the country by the annihilation of the main enemy power, not by naming the king's chief.

In this era, when the king was still thought to be the country itself, it was something that was difficult to comprehend.

But the surprise of the moment you hear it leaves, and the sober you think about it, the more convincing you will be.

If King Walius had ever had eclampsia without thinking later, even if he had lost a great deal of his meeting at the crossing, he didn't really think he'd give up his rebel slave crusade.

But no matter how much King Walius tries to fight, he cannot fight without the corresponding power.

To do so, we need a complete extermination of the main enemy, not a repelling.

The "black wall", which is about to be annihilated, is also the most powerful army of Holmea, which we all acknowledge, and, as Ethereal Horse said, a symbol of the Holmea nation's martial arts.

If such an army were to be annihilated, the impact would be immeasurable. Regardless of the loss of will, the National Army will come out in a small number of people trying to descend from the crowd to the Ethereal Horse.

In that case, even without attacking the King's capital, the Holmeer kingdom is no different.

Everyone who had so much understanding was even more surprised.

Towards everyone like that, the Ethereal Horse continues to speak.

"Operation to besiege and annihilate the enemy by Zoan. - I named this" Zoan's Jaw "!

Siege the Black Wall, Holmeer's strongest army.

That is the operation named "Zoan's Jaw" and Ethereal Horse.

But while the Ethereal Horse was already not a complete siege, it was likewise won by Zoan's pinching in the "Bornis Showdown".

In addition, the name "Zoan's Jaw", which was given only this time, is not very widely known in future generations, as the Ethereal Horse still preferred the siege extermination tactic of detaining the main enemy forces with heavy infantry and fortifications such as Dwarves and Dinosaurians, sometimes using terrain, and in the meantime surrounding them with manoeuvrable Zoan and elf bow cavalry, and annihilating them.

More than that, it is known by another name.

Embrace the Son of Destruction.

It is the name of a siege extermination tactic that can be told that Soma Kisaki, son of destruction, was best at destroying many enemies, feared to kill them all once (once) they were stopped in their arms.
