Hakai no Miko

Episode 80: Support

Suddenly, in a tent set on a hilltop with a view of the city of L'Oma, the whimpering voice of the Ethereal Horse echoed.

"Wow..."

Hearing a series of events from Garam and Zoog, the Ethereal Horse was just as quickly unspeakable.

I have left the defeated Fort Garraf to Setius and Norzuri to advance the soldiers to the city of L'Oma, but I never thought that was the case.

Shemru also tells me like he's stunned again.

"You're the guy who can't stand hunger and bellies with eaten rotten meat."

It is Zoan's adage that means that he will find himself in an even more painful situation as a result of acting without thinking about the painful situation because he (ah) went inside the meat he ate knowing he was too rotten of his hunger and suffered even more with his belly down.

"Anyway, let's protect the soldiers who came down here generously."

The Ethereal Horse commands the surrendered soldiers to distribute warm meals and drinks before consulting everyone on what to do in the future.

"Well, what do we do now?

He is an Ethereal Horse who, if hunted down, would be bold enough for even Shemr to ascend to heaven, but is usually a cowardly little man.

Yet we have let the enemies that should have been able to destroy them escape, and we are not sure how much damage we have been inflicted on the Holmeer State. Though the pursuit inflicted more blows on the Holmeer National Army, the commander of the enemy at heart let him go.

As a result, the Ethereal Horse was not convinced that it had caused devastating damage to the Holmeer Nation, and was not sure whether it should retreat here as planned or march further to strike.

It was Marcronis, the general, who remarked to the Ethereal Horse, who asked everyone for their opinion on what was wrong, that "the city of L'Oma should be dropped".

"This city of L'Oma must be the most important in the western part of Holmeer."

Marcronis cut it out like that.

"It is just an important hub for trading over the public streets of the western realm leading from Romanian to Jeboa through Holmea, or it is also the heart of the streets of the western part of the Holmea country. Holding down this city is even synonymous with holding down the western part of Holmeer."

Marcronis is right, the city of L'Oma, depicted on the map of the western part of the Holmeer Country, from where the streets extend radially throughout the western part of the Holmeer Country are described.

Marcronis affirmed that if only this city of L'Oma was to be mastered, the marquises of western Holmea would have to surrender, and western Holmea would belong to the Ethereal Horse.

"But don't take control of the surrounding peripheral lords, we've protruded so far, won't we be slapped the other way?

Marcronis denies the concerns of the Ethereal Horse.

"I think there's less to worry about."

Asked why, Marcronis answers immediately.

"If the people around us want to move to surround us, we have to work closely together. But if they hold us around the city of L'Oma like this, it won't be easy either."

And the Ethereal Horse thought it would be.

Indeed, even on the map, it is the shortest way to go through the city of L'Oma if the borderline marquis from all over the west want to keep in touch.

However, as long as we hold ourselves to the perimeter of the city of L'Oma, the borderline marquises will have to make great detours to get in touch, and it will then be difficult to interact with each other.

Because if some lords move alone, that is the good way to destroy each and every one of them.

If we can see that, the surrounding lords will be unable to move.

In this world where there are no radios, cell phones, etc., I was always a frustrating Ethereal Horse even though I didn't go as far as I thought I would go, but all this time it worked in this favor.

"To it," adds Marcronis.

"If I were you, I wouldn't want to fight an enemy who defeated the 'Black Wall'. You'll be in the bargain before you move the soldiers."

Considering that these negotiations with the borderline marquis have come, there seems to be no problem in ignoring them for the moment.

Besides, the city of L'Oma will now be in havoc by accepting many defeated soldiers. You never expected us to make it this far, so you're not even supposed to be ready for the Battle of Cage Castle.

Inside is confusion, and the surrounding peripheral marquis cannot be guessed, nor do we know when reinforcements from the requesting king's capital will come.

Now is the perfect opportunity to take down the city of L'Oma.

Marcronis, who so explained, concluded with the following words:

"If the 'Black Wall' were to be torn and the West taken away, no matter how noisy King Walius may make any more noise, the same is true of his desire. And then we think that if we put pressure on the people of the central and eastern regions, the Holmeer nation will disintegrate without fighting."

Everyone was convinced that it would be.

The city of L'Oma is big enough to stand alongside Bornis. The city walls are high and supplies abound. If such a city decides on a caged castle in a complete system, it must pay a great deal of sacrifice to let it fall.

With that in mind, surely now is the perfect time to take down L'Oma.

Also, if you look at the faces of those who were there, they are all faces that are already motivated.

"Okay. We will attack the city of L'Oma!

When the Ethereal Horse speaks of the decision, everyone says, "Oh!" and a heated voice rose.

"So how do we attack the city..."

Doverine raises her voice to the pale horse that cut it out so.

"Let us take care of it! Soon the stone thrower will be assembled. Later, if the Michena lady delivers the oil pot supplies, we can always hit the city."

He was a confidently lavish doverlin, but the Ethereal Horse stood up kicking the chair he was sitting in.

"That's no good!

On the sword screen of the Ethereal Horse, the scene was engulfed in silence for a moment.

But the most surprising of all was the Ethereal Horse itself. On his own, the Ethereal Horse did not know why he rejected Dvarin's suggestion so loudly.

Even though everyone is watching themselves, the Ethereal Horse excuses himself in many ways.

"Uh... is it a last resort, or is it too early, to set the city on fire"

It was Shemr who sent out the help ship there.

"Of course not. Soma doesn't want to destroy the city, he wants to get it. There's no point in letting the prey suffer unwanted wounds, either. - Isn't that right, Raging Fangs?

"Oh. I agree."

Garam, who was told the story by Shemr, also endorses it.

"If we're going to govern that city just like Bornis, we should refrain from destroying it as much as possible. I think a fire attack should be a last resort, but how about that?

If that's what you say to Gallam, who is just a pale horse or a great general, no one disagrees. Dvarin regretted, but the fire was to be matched.

In fact, at this time, Gallam had heard from Shemr about the trauma of the Ethereal Horse prior to the military conference.

At that time, I didn't think so, but as far as the Ethereal Horse was concerned earlier, it is apparently more serious than I had imagined, as my sister would say.

The earlier words were also meant to calm the Ethereal Horse rather than to express his opinion.

The pale horse, who was confused because of it, also regained calm.

One cough and then the Ethereal Horse opens its mouth so as to strike out the air in the place where it has been whitened.

"Anyway, I think it's foolish to take down a city with strong walls. Let's attack this place with our hands."

And I said, "Do you have any hands?" Asking Zoog, the Ethereal Horse nodded and showed him one, "he said.

"He showed me the gap where that one attacked. I'll poke it."

That being said, the Ethereal Horse draws a semicircle at his fingertips on the western side of the city of L'Oma depicted on the map.

"First, build a strong position here to intimidate the enemy as well as prepare for an ambush"

Asking him with his eyes if he could please, Doverin slapped him in the chest and showed him, not telling him to leave it to him. The Ethereal Horse continues further after confirming it.

"We have already asked Mr Michena for support at the same time as we have asked him to arrange additional food and supplies, thinking that we need them in any case. Let's wait for that person to arrive for a while."

Besides, Shemr raises a strange voice.

"The person? Didn't you call for an army of backup?

The Ethereal Horse nodded and then gave his name, which is in Shemr.

Then, Shemr puts on his face so much that even a human pale horse can see it.

"You called that damn jizzy..."
