Hakai no Miko

Episode 73: The Humiliation of Snomta 13 - Skilled Soldier

Huakis was scared.

But that's not exactly because we're not about to be besieged right now.

Because I understood that this siege was not the result of a single measure, but the final phase of a grand ploy.

A plotter flirting with Holmeer's strongest army, the "Black Wall," would have twisted it without bitterness, such as the Horse Army, which was destined to crusade ahead of itself.

But the Son of Destruction did not do it.

That was only aimed at by the Son of Destruction from the beginning because he was himself a "black wall".

In other words, all previous schemes were for this siege.

Starting from the fall of Marben Copper Mountain, a number of such schemes were taken by even the great powers honored alongside the two males in the western region: the Holmeer and Romanian countries.

Even that was just one end of an immeasurably grand ploy. And now it is precisely that ploy that is about to take the final phase in the form of the "black wall" siege.

It brought fear and despair to Hyukis as if everything was turning into a stream of rage and trying to push ourselves to ruin.

"Crystal of the Satanic Military Talent of Soma Kisaki, Son of Destruction"

Yes, it is the military history researcher Professor Beckman who praises the "Battle of Snomuta".

"Anyway, people tend to see the siege extermination tactics carried out by the Son of Destruction in" The Battle of Snomuta "as a countermeasure to enemies outnumbered by his own army.

But it's a big mistake.

There are numerous generals who failed to realize the mistake and destroyed themselves by laying siege to enemies above their own.

But what is truly commendable is that the Son of Destruction created a war situation to besiege the great army with widows.

Therefore, we judge the Battle of Snomuta as the crystal of the satanic military genius of Soma Kisaki, the son of destruction ".

By the measures of the Ethereal Horse, thus praised even by future generations of researchers, Huakis, who seemed to break his heart entirely, but chewed his own lower lip into a thousand pieces.

I can't believe this is happening!

Huakis scolds himself.

With General Darius, it couldn't be undefeated. Sometimes he even escaped among the mud with the general. That's what breaks my heart to this extent!

Huakis looked around the battlefield as he stretched his back on the horse.

I had already heard the sound of a sword trident (kenji) and an anger, and the sound of the drums of the Zoans, which would meet violently even in the rear, just left and right.

The mystery of the siege extermination tactic is fear.

People are clumsy things. If you concentrate on one thing, you can't exert ten powers, and if you're otherwise distracted, you can't exert half that power.

Not to mention if that's your life-threatening fear of battle.

The soldiers who so feared can no longer be soldiers.

That's just a crowd.

Whether it's just a crowd gathering tens of millions, that's not the enemy.

Unfortunately, the enemy is familiar with it. The sieged Zoans are roaring and drumming violently to terrorize the soldiers.

And that was definitely working. Even the "black wall", the elite, could see the disturbance of the formation. Now you should see that the rear First Army and the National Army heavy spear infantry led by General Numitos have lost control.

But still, Hyuakis did not give up.

In terms of the number of soldiers, this one is still winning. If you break any part of the enemy's siege net, you should be able to circle behind the enemy from there and sandwich it in reverse.

But it is also a difficult situation to concentrate troops somewhere in order to break through the siege.

If the enemy is limited forward, instruct him to proceed toward the enemy and that is all he needs.

However, in a situation surrounded by enemies, as is currently the case, clear instructions must be given as to which way to turn to the soldiers.

However, the transmission of the military in this era is as if it were a message game that conveys instructions from person to person. That did not necessarily mean that orders would not be correctly communicated under such confusing circumstances.

If that happens, it can reverse disperse those who have correctly obeyed orders, those who did not hear orders, those who mistook orders, and the forces that each of them is supposed to move through and concentrate on.

If that happens, they'll destroy each and every one of them from the protruding troops.

Besides, it's also a question of where to concentrate your power.

Firstly, although it had not yet been blocked, there could not be a rear.

Now at the rearmost end of the Second Army are the heavily armed spear infantry of the National Army led by General Numitos, who was in the front row. Under this confused situation, Huakis is not as Rakuten as he expects them to make a rapid transition. If General Numitos and the others took the trouble to make the transfer, there was a high risk that the "black wall", still exposed to the attack of siege weapons, would eat a stop with its back to the enemy.

If it's left or right, it's hard too.

It has already become a fierce battle on the side of the Second Army. Not only has he been assaulted on an aspect that should be called the weakness of a dense formation, but the Zoans who have assaulted him are probably also the most elite of the enemies, even though they are being pushed by the elite "black walls", even though the white soldier battle for throwing away their good spears. It's hard to break this down now and break through the siege net.

In any case, it is also dangerous to issue poor orders for transfers in such confused circumstances.

Then you have no choice.

"Turn all your forces directly to the front! Target is the main unit with enemy commanders!

What Huakis ordered is a frontal breakthrough.

The enemy is instead laying a siege on the widow (Kahey) by a large army. There must necessarily be an imposition somewhere.

And that was definitely the enemy formation that is the front.

The enemy formations, which were thought to be fortifications, were revealed to be haribotes, and there was no longer anything to protect them there. Also there are only five hundred retreating elf archers combined.

Attacks by large numbers of siege weapons to the point of falling any great fortress must also have been meant to conceal such impossibilities.

I mean, that's where the siege net is the thinnest.

And above all, there's the Son of Destruction over there!

If we take him down, we can win this fight.

However, intense attacks by stone throwers and assault vehicles are still being carried out by enemy units.

If you stick it right in front of you like that, the damage is immeasurable. All that or it's suspicious if we can stick it into such a dead place and reach enemy headquarters.

That's why Huakis cuts the trump card he keeps.

"Front the 'Black Wall' Skilled Soldier!

A skilled soldier is a unit made up of skilled soldiers who, as its name suggests, have been in the "Black Wall" for more than twenty years.

He has been in the "black wall" for more than twenty years, where only strength is appreciated and rigorous training is thorough. The proficiency of the skilled soldiers and their strength no longer goes without saying.

It is precisely a unit made up of the elite among the elites.

And noteworthy is the strength of the sense of belonging of skilled soldiers to the "black wall".

The skilled soldiers' attachment to the "black wall" that has devoted much of their lives is strong.

They value the "Black Wall" honor more than their own. Choose a "black wall" victory over your own life. They regret not dying for the "Black Wall" after the fierce battle rather than rejoicing in each other's survival. I envy my comrades who died because of the Black Wall instead of regretting their comrades' deaths.

For such a "black wall," they are all fierce men who will not spare their lives.

But it was also a bitter decision for Hyakis to send them to the dead.

For Huakis, the skilled soldiers are comrades who shared the ordeal. The different positions, all under General Darius's banner, are comrades who fought on another battlefield and dived through the dead line. Some of them even have benefactors who have been saved lives.

Huakis can match the name with the face of every skilled soldier. I even knew their favorite liquor, their favorite food, the songs they decide to mouth when they get drunk, their clichés, their family composition.

Even for Huakis, the "Black Wall" is a family, and the skilled soldiers are brothers who divided the blood.

It is precisely the thought of amputation that drives such people to their dead places.

But there is no longer anyone but them who can rely on Hyuakis. The only way to break this predicament was to rely on skilled soldiers.

But the same is true of skilled soldiers who know their opponents.

I naturally could not help but guess with what thoughts Huakis was trying to send themselves in.

That's why the commander of the regiment, who leads the skilled soldiers, first laughed out loud when he heard the order to move on to himself.

"Holy shit! The Deputy Commander of the Hyakis Army thought you were the only sturdy one in the handle, but you're outrageous! Wouldn't you tease us if we had the best stage like this?

The commander of the regiment of skilled soldiers speaks up for the troops.

"Come on, we're going to build a new martial arts tradition for 'Black Wall'! Those who survive unluckily are at best to cut off their bellies and talk about our martial arts traditions in taverns all over the Holmeer country!

Plus, laughter comes from the skilled soldiers.

"Skilled soldier! All hands, drop your spears and draw your swords!

In front of attacks by stone throwers and tankers, dense conditions are counterproductive. Having so determined, the commander of the regiment forces him to throw away the long spear for the dense formation and pull out the sword.

"Skilled soldier, beforehand!!"

When the commander of the regiment pointed to the enemy formation with his sword, the skilled soldier began to move forward at best.

"" Previous heh! Previously!! "

With that voice up, a skilled soldier scratched his allies and sometimes pushed them down until he was forcefully at the forefront.

Towards such a skilled soldier, the Ethereal Horses made relentless attacks by stone-throwing by stone-throwers and by impulsive vehicles towed by wild cattle.

When it comes to skilled soldiers, they're human again.

If a stone is thrown directly, it will be blown up, and if a cow or an assault car penetrates, it will be dialed and flown away.

A large number of casualties were reported in the blink of an eye.

But whoever is frightened is not alone.

Instead, they took the initiative of hitting their own bodies and stopping cattle and tanks. As a result, the damage to those who became walls became worse, but the damage to the troops caused by cattle and tankers was minimized.

I still have a few soldiers poking in again. I need to stop the tank. I get stretched out and I get dialed up. The tanker was stopped, but the soldier who accomplished it does not even move with Pickle while falling to the ground. If you look closely, the soldier's neck bent directly to the side, and it was obvious that whoever saw it was desperate.

The squadron leader who was nearby laughs out loud.

"Too far ahead, you idiot! Don't take my hand!

But the cheek of the squadron captain laughing so was wet with tears.

No soldier thinks that's why. Because if you're a close squadron mate like your family, you know as much as that dead soldier is the squadron leader's brother.

So they laugh, too.

"Ha ha! You've been crossed, Commander Squadron!

"Didn't your majesty as a brother have been compromised?

"You'll be pissed off if you lose this!

The squadron leader, who laughed again at the words of his men, was blown away by a direct strike of stone throwing.

He was a squadron captain who became as if he had wiped (stuffed) blood, but still pointed his trembling fingers at his enemies when he woke up. And when I said "forward" with a squeezing voice, I hung up following my brother as I was.

Such things were happening everywhere.

But still, no one stops at the skilled soldiers of the "Black Wall". Just keep moving your legs forward even. Using his body, he stops the tank, sticks his sword out while being horned by a cow, and just pushes forward and forward.

"" Previous heh! Previously!! "

Every skilled soldier was trying to bring victory to the "Black Wall" at the expense of his own life.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The temper of that "black wall" skilled soldier had also reached the headquarters where the Ethereal Horse was located.

"What the heck, those guys...!

Even the feisty Sheml can't help but feel overwhelmed by that temper and his whole body hair upside down.

All that or I could see the upset among the Dwarves and humans who had been running the stone throwers without busy (shedding) until then.

The thought that a skilled soldier, who could be called paranoid, would bring victory over the "Black Wall" had made no one in the ranks but Shemr.

I didn't think Shemr was a good idea.

Enemy invasion is faster than we expected, with the temper of the enemy also wandering.

Shemr, who thought it was going to be tough as it was, speaks to the Ethereal Horse as he sees the approaching skilled soldier.

"Soma! Next instruction!

But no response from the Ethereal Horse.

What the hell are you clutching at, Shemr looks back.

"Soma! Next instruction! Soma......? Soma?!"

Shemr opened his eyes for a moment.

What was there was the figure of a pale horse that was paling his face and shivering his body into small pieces.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Sending out skilled soldiers, Huakis continued to look at the enemy formation with a prayerful eye.

What is already heard from the rear is the sound and roar of Zoan's beating drums dominating. Perhaps the First Army should be seen to have collapsed and the rear blocked.

The soldiers of the collapsed First Army will try to help and escape disturbing the reckoning to the rear of the Second Army led by General Numitos. In that case, the rear line of the Second Army is made a mess by the escaping ally. If the Zoans collapse with their escaping allies there, they will be brought into the White Soldier War at once. Regardless of whether you are fighting at a distance with a long spear, if it is a battle at the distance of the mountain swords of the Zoans, there is no denying this disadvantage. The National Army heavy spear infantry led by General Numitos will not last long either.

Huakis' eyes open to surprise as he continued to look at the enemy formation, enduring a sense of impatience that was ablaze with a giddy fire.

…… What is that?! "

It was white smoke.

The smoke, which was only one at first, also starts to rise one after the other while watching, finally becoming several muscles of white smoke and starting to rise from the enemy formation.

And finally, even the equilibrium hammer thrower could be seen wrapped in a bright red flame.

"Yay! I want you to do it!!"

Huakis raised his voice of joy.
