Hakai no Miko

"Oh? There's always a captain. Doesn't he seem to be here?

Solon, who, as usual, had come to point to chess, looked around the room looking for Adomius, who would not show up on the spot.

"He's not coming here anymore."

To that muttos mouthfeel, while I think this has worked, Solon dared not ask anything and began to line up the pawns on the chessboard, as usual. That's how I finish arranging the pawns, "Let's get started," Solon said, and Mutos stops it.

"Please wait"

When he put that down, Mutos reached for the pawn lined up on the board because of it. And sort your pawns one solon's side after the other for what you thought.

After a while, only a few infantry pawns and castle fortress pawns, as well as king pawns, were left in Mutos' hand, and all the other pawns had been done to Solon's side.

And I said, "What's this?" Mutos nods to Solon, who asks with his eyes.

"This is the only pawn I have in my hand due to a hand from outside the board"

From among the defensemen, those who surrender to the enemy continue. Adomius, the leader of the "Black Wall" regiment, who secretly relied on him, has also stopped showing his face since he declared his abandonment of his duties.

I don't know if I can fight and win such a mighty enemy, or if I should just saddle up from Holmeer country to enemies, and the beginning and end of getting stuffed by many city celebrities and people called facial actors, some of whom say that it would be richer for the city to trade with rebel slaves.

Furthermore, confectionery and chessboards made Mutos himself understand the overwhelming difference in power from his enemies.

And the stomach is the escape of Prince Alexius.

The fall of this city was no longer visible.

"Looks like the time has finally come for us to talk."

Solon began to tell Muthos with a sincere look when he corrected his residence.

"The demand on this side is to disarm the soldiers and open the gates. Dear Soma, unnecessary bloodshed and killing are abominable. Lord Mutos originally assured us of the life and property of the surrendered soldiers and residents."

Mutos relieved Ho of the conditions presented.

It is not uncommon for genocide and looting to occur if a city is defeated. Yet let us say that this condition is, in this day and age, broken.

"And Master Soma hates the existence of slaves who sell people like things and deprive them of their freedom. The slaves in the city will be freed. However, because of our promise to guarantee our property, we will be freed after purchasing it with money."

For those who have been enslaved by the punishment, Solon adds, having seen the charges, he decides whether to release them or serve them as servants.

Mutos was relieved that this was also a drinkable condition.

There is also a fear that the loss of slavery will shorten the city's workforce, but if it is to be compensated with money, it will not be such a big problem.

But the next condition Solon cited, Mutos floated a bitter colour on his face.

"Furthermore, Master Soma is denied control by descent. The nobility leaves only the title and abolishes all privileges. I want you to know this."

Even though he was prepared, the flourishing Count Boron family, who had ruled the city of L'Oma, would die in his own stead. Mutos feels disappointed and sorry for his fathers.

But Solon went on to say even more.

"Unlike Holmeer's chess, however, Soma's homeland chess will use the other pawn as well."

Solon tells Mutos with a gentle grin, who raised his face as to what it meant.

"Master Soma denies control by descent, but on the contrary, he does not deny the ability of that person because he was born in a house of descent.

In particular, Soma highly appreciates the arms of Lord Mutos' rule, which is deeply admired by the people. Under the terms of Dear Soma's new law, you have said that you would like to continue to entrust Lord Mutos with the Lord of this city of L'Oma.

I also hear that your son has been taught to govern as the next lord as a sidekick to Lord Mutos. If that power is recognized, your son will be the next Lord. "

Dominance by descent isn't all bad either.

It is a time when people still have a short life span and few opportunities to learn a wide range of knowledge. The truth is that even if we want to give them the freedom to choose their profession, we cannot. Then it may be better to tap into certain expertise as soon as you feel comfortable.

Stagnation and failure are unacceptable, especially in the governance of countries and cities.

Better to let people learn to govern from a young age, even if they don't know what the qualities are, than to expect those with the ability to govern who don't even know if they will show up.

"Master Soma is worried that those who lack the ability and mindset to do so will assume a responsible position solely by their lineage. Not to mention keeping those who are more talented than themselves away from jealousy using their power."

Mutos realized what Solon was suggesting.

It is King Walius and Alexius.

"A country with people. A king under his command. Let us be unhappy for the country and for our ministers if we take that the wrong way.

If you don't like your bitter subordinates, you can go to the wilderness and become Shinzanyukoku, where you can name your king by yourself. If you do, no one will complain and no one will bother you again. "

Mutos was surprised by the words of the solon.

A country with people. A king under his command.

That's because that's what Pompius, the former Grand Chancellor of the Holmeer Country, who was a mentor, used to say.

After all, this old man wasn't the only one.

The thought forced Nature and Mutos to bow their heads.

"What you say is most sincere."

And Muthos turned to Solon, and laid him down deep.

Before long, the gates of the city of L'Oma were opened, and a messenger who conveyed his surrender went to the Ethereal Horse.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"What do you say, amazing?

Before Karakara and the proudly laughing solon, Shemru becomes the top of the Buddha so much that even humans can see it.

Though Marco's confectionery showed a difference in power, that's not the only way the lord would choose to open a bloodless castle. In the meantime, Solon built trust with Muthos, which is why Muthos also admitted he was enough to surrender the Ethereal Horse via Solon.

The extent of this was also known to Shemr.

But truthfully praising it is handicapped.

"Marco! You did a great job. I think this is how you could have dropped the city with your help!

As it hits Solon, Shemr admires Marco greatly. And Marco was returning the remarkable words, "I enjoyed making as many delicious treats as I could think of."

A pale horse who sees it pinches his mouth.

"So much for Shemr."

When Solon gets involved, Shemr tends to forget me. I don't even care if my mouth won't move with my grace if it goes too far.

As a pale horse, I didn't want my first minister to be exposed to the ugliness of not being able to speak up about it.

The Ethereal Horse scolded me, and Shemr just shut her mouth, but when she noticed Solon looking at Niyanya and herself, she hunched her nose and turned to her.

And then he laughed, and then Solon stood up, poking his wand.

"Well, let's try a little harder to make the beast lady say gaffoon"

"Where are you going?

To the Ethereal Horse, who asks, Solon takes a single letter from his pocket and shows it.

"Lord Mutos sent me a letter of introduction to the Lords of this neighborhood. I'm going to stop by with this."

Solon says not only to the city of L'Oma, but also to the people of the western part of the Holmeer kingdom. The Ethereal Horse is impressed by this and says it in half.

"Was this just one bottle of whiskey too cheap?

"No, no. They resent the Dwarves for getting any more. More than that..."

So I took a good look at Shemr.

"- It would be much more pleasant to see my daughter trample on the estate and regret it, even though I did merit it."

And it came to pass that Shemr, early on, regretted treading on the estate to Solon, who laughed in a ragged manner.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Solon visited the lords of the western part of the Holmeer country one after the other. Neither of those lords was afraid of the Son of Destruction, who overthrew that most powerful army, the Black Wall, and was very unwilling to fight, just because he was hostile to the city of L'Oma.

It is also significant that the lord of L'Oma, known as the man of the qi bones, descended and deliberately wrote a letter of introduction. If the Earl of Muthos had surrendered, so did the western border marquises one after the other.

Thus the western part of Holmea, the great power of the western realm, belonged to the Ethereal Horse.

The magnitude of the painful hands suffered by the Holmeer country, which was cut out whole west by Marco and Solon, is immeasurable.

At least, it would have brought the Holmeer nation the same shock and pain that forced a third of its body to be ripped off.

But that was just the beginning.

It is precisely now that further tragedies were about to visit the Holmeer country.

And it wasn't west of the Holmeer country where the Ethereal Horses are that it would happen.

Contrary to that. East of the Holmeer country, things were beginning to move dramatically.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Well, that's good news."

It was César, king of the young Balgibor, who murmured so.

King Cesar raises a pleasant voice when he receives reports from a spy who was releasing to the western part of the Holmeer country that he has secured Alexius's stature.

No, but I was thinking that if I was lucky, it would take some interesting prey to be a named general. But no way Prince Alexius and I seem to have been trapped by a bigger than we expected.

King Cesar puts his hand on his jaw and thinks, Hmm.

"The scouts who are lurking in the royal castle of Holmenia can pull it up."

King Cesar's hand extended all the way inside the royal castle of Holmenia, the king's capital of the kingdom of Holmea. Those who are infiltrated as samurai and soldiers carry out assassinations and kidnappings of dignitaries of the Holmeer State with one of King Cesar's instructions.

And now, by Alexius, who lost a great deal in the battle at the crossing and dropped that stock significantly, the handlers were handed out around Princess Wallina, who increased its value in Russia.

But no matter how much he dropped the stock, he got a note named Alexius, the first heir to the throne. Now we no longer need to get Princess Wallina until we dare to risk it.

Rather, it seems more interesting to use it for another purpose.

King Cesar laughs.

"As an artist, the tragic princess is the subject matter."

A beautiful princess with a burning royal castle and destiny.

The human beings of the Holmeer country will be greatly saddened and aroused.

That will become the basement of a new painting later on. And on top of that basement will be a new map of forces in the western realm full of madness and confusion that comes to mind.

King Cesar, who floated that sight behind his brain, had a creepy grin that hoisted both ends of his lips.

It is an inhuman grin, as the serpent did before his prey.

"Come on, it's the beginning of the demise of the great Holmeer."

At the end of King Cesar's gaze, so to speak, was the image of the army of the Romanian nation, which now seeks exactly to cross the bridge crossed by the Great River.
