Hakai no Miko

"From the rear, the Zoans will come after us!

In return, Alexius blued his face.

"Hurry! Hurry up and head to the city of L'Oma!

I whipped myself into a riding horse, screaming so.

It was Garam and Zug, who led the warriors of Zoan, who pursued such Alexius. They follow the countless footprints left on the road that turned them into thieves.

Along the way, I saw a number of Holmea soldiers left from Alexius. But the majority of them are exhausted and no longer have the strength to resist into the mud.

Still, some of them set up their weapons with the ultimate resistance, but Garam said, "If you can't resist, you can't kill me! Drop your weapons!" When he cried out, most of them abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Galam also commands the warriors of Zoan, whom we lead.

"Our aim is the commander of the enemy going forward! Don't worry about the soldiers!

Garam and Zug left it to the succeeding Marcronis and Dvarrin to control the defectors, and even chased Alexius, who fled the front.

But Zoan, who is also said to be unbeatable in the legs of a horse, but that is a story limited to a short distance. If it's a long distance, the horses really don't have enemies.

Even though he was only a few moments away, the horse with Alexius shook up the Zoans and reached the city of L'Oma.

"Open the door! Open the door!

The city gate of L'Oma slowly opens as the leading knight shouts out. Alexius, who went into the city trying to screw every horse riding into that slightly open gap, relaxed on less of a horse of relief.

But it is also until I hear the cry of the gatekeepers.

"It's Zoan! The Zoans are here!

Alexius, who jumped his upper body on the horse, looks back at the city gate where he came in. Then, there, we saw soldiers descending from the city gate, which was fully open, one after the other into the city, and Zoan, who had pursued themselves on its far other side.

The sight overlaps the figure of Zoan, who has hit a confusing ally on himself in an attempt to rescue the besieged Second Army.

"Yes, hurry and close the city gate!

The gatekeepers, who had not yet accommodated their fleeing allies, were surprised by Alexius' cry.

"But we have not yet accommodated our allies!

"Shut up, shut up! I am Alexius, Prince of Holmeer! My life is in danger!

When you're a gatekeeper, you can't even defend yourself against a prince. The captain of the gatekeeper gave instructions to close the gate.

It was the soldiers who were trying to escape into the city who screamed at it.

Everyone couldn't wait to be shut out, and he arrived at the gate in desperate shape. But push it over, and the city gate is forcefully shut.

Then the exhalation of despair rose from the soldiers that were left outside the gate.

Zoog speaks to Garam, who stopped pursuing in front of the city at the sight.

"Hey. What are we gonna do, Gallum?"

In front of the gates of the city, there are left behind about (d) hundred or three hundred defeated soldiers, even if it is estimated less. There's no reason to kick some soldiers to that extent, but it's not a good idea to get close to the city and into the range of enemy arrows.

He thinks a lot about Zoog's questioning, then Garam says.

"I had to. - Let's call on the remaining enemy soldiers to surrender. Drop your weapon and surrender, and you won't take your life, and you'll come down honestly."

It's not as sweet as putting all those soldiers in a city that misses them. Or so I didn't even have to risk this one to kick it.

When the Gallums called for surrender, the soldiers, who had been shut out of the gate, were bewildered.

It is unlikely that the gates will open even if we continue to stay on this spot. Even though they are tired of repeated defeats, they don't even carry every drop of water with them. Even if the Zoans do nothing as they are, it is visible that they will fall not far away.

And one of them, who had made up his mind, threw down his weapon with one, and lifted up his hands, and walked to the Zoans. More soldiers descended when they saw that the companions who went ahead were accepted by the Zoans without being killed.

The defensemen of the city of L'Oma had no choice but to stare painfully from the top of the fence at the rear of the soldiers descending to the enemy, but anger echoed there.

"These infidels!

It was Alexius.

"I will not fight with my life for the Holmeer Country, and I will not be allowed to descend on my enemies or anything else!

Don't scream like that, take the bow and arrow that the defenseman who was nearby had, and quickly grab the arrow and shoot. The arrow stood on the back of one of the soldiers who was about to go down to the Zoans with his back to this side. How the soldier falls on the spot.

The air swayed deliberately.

"So, Your Highness...! What can I do?!"

The captain of the defensive soldier who was there blues his face.

The rebel slave crusaders were accompanied by a handful of soldiers from this city of L'Oma. If that soldier had been one of them, they would have killed the people of the same city in front of them.

But Alexius yells and scatters.

"I'm not doing anything! What are you doing! Shoot those infidels!

"So, but...!

"Are you a disloyalist too?!"

On Alexius' sword screen, the captain made his face pull. And I command my men to do so, even though I have a half crying look on my face.

"Release the arrows to the soldiers who descend on the enemy! Release the arrow!

But no one can move right away. The soldiers only looked at each other in the face, but the captain finally starts shooting arrows, even though he commands them again.

And the soldiers, who were about to surrender to it, turned to heaven.

I never thought I'd be shot in the back by an ally. Some soldiers rushed to the Zoans, while others waved their hands toward the city if they did not surrender.

But the arrows poured down without distinction between those soldiers.

The Zoans were also surprised by this.

He calls out loud to surrender quickly and waves his arms as he runs this way.

But the soldiers left outside the city were no longer confused, not knowing which was their enemy or ally, only to go right and left.

Anger broke out again over the city walls where it was raining arrows on such soldiers.

"Fools! Stop this nonsense right now!

But that's not Alexius. It was Adomius, who came over the fence late.

Of course, no one liked it and was shooting arrows at their allies. To the fury of Adomius, he bowed down with a rather hospitable look.

Besides, Alexius reprimands Adomius with an angry face.

"You! Are you defying my life at the head of the regiment?!"

But Adomius resists it head-on.

"Is Your Highness the one who understands what you have done?!"

I never thought I'd be defended. Alexius flinched. Adomius speaks out loud to Alexius like that.

"Did Your Highness know this story?!

Once in a skirmish with the Romanian state, the troops of soldiers leaving the civilian population were isolated on enemy land. When the man who was leading the unit decided it was no longer difficult to withdraw, he immediately surrendered to the enemy. After the battle, when exchanging each other's captives, many generals reluctantly exchanged captives with the man who surrendered without resisting to the end.

But only one general rather took the initiative to exchange the man and his troops. That's not all. The general had just bothered to welcome the returning men and soldiers himself and praised the man for returning alive without killing the soldiers in vain, or he had used the man heavily ever since!

Do you know what happened after that?! "

To Alexius, perplexed by a story told abruptly, Adomius slaps his words.

"A surrendered civilian soldier is a man named Bogus. And it was His Excellency General Darius who saved it!

to Alexius. General Darius' name is forbidden. It was Adomius who was aware of that, but he no longer put up with it.

"Bogus and the soldiers who were helped at that time bought a palace to help General Darius, who was in distress in the battle in the city of Bornis. And even the last soldier bravely fought through it, buying time for the General to fall!

Threaten with force, the soldiers will fight! But the only thing I'm willing to risk my life for is a general who understands me!

Now, Your Highness has not only driven the remaining soldiers to their enemies, but to their hearts! That's not all! - Take a look around!

Adomius shook his arms wide and showed himself around.

"Don't you see that His Highness has distanced himself to the hearts of many who are here now?!"

Finally Alexius noticed the eyes of the soldiers directed at him.

What is in its eyes is neither respect nor respect for the royalty.

It is the glow of contempt's intermingled disappointment.

In all the eyes that could be directed at him, Alexius blued his face, turned his coat (cloak) over and fled the city wall, wondering if he had lagged behind in fear.

Later only a terribly breathless silence is left.

After a while Adomius takes one deep sigh. Then I shouted out loud.

"Nothing else to say about this here! Suppose I'm the one who ordered the surrendering soldiers to fire arrows!
