Hakai no Miko

It was Piata who received Darius's legacy and rushed to join the Romanian National Army headquarters, which would be hurrying to besiege the King's capital, Holmenia, but the sights that were being played out there were very different from what she had expected.

Though they have continued to fast-forward, the generals are greatly fatigued by the streak and long marches. Then for the time being, it is a stone to rest the generals by putting up a formation at a distance where the enemy's attack will not reach them, and in the meantime prepare for the siege and negotiate the opening of the castle. I have just reached the enemy castle for that, and suddenly it is only the pinnacle of stupidity, such as starting a siege battle.

I don't know the extent of it. It shouldn't be a father king or a general.

Yet now all the armies of the Romanian nation are fiercely attacking the King's capital, Holmenia.

If you find a good opportunity to take down the King's capital without knowing much about it, and you're pushing and attacking it, it doesn't seem to be the same.

I could see in the distance that the soldiers attacking the king's capital lacked glory. The soldiers' movements are dull, and there is no cohesion in the voice they raise. It is no longer clear from anyone's eyes that the strength of the soldiers is the limit. There is no way we can overcome the sturdy walls of the King's capital.

They are also not ready for siege weapons such as stone throwers and tankers, and such attacks are sporadic. This can't even be as effective as you'd expect. Rather, it is the beginning and the end of the casting machine on the Wang Du side, which is exposed to the wreckage.

Conversely, the counter-attacks from Holmenia were harsh like they didn't think about the aftermath or anything. Stones and arrows are used at all costs, and the soldiers who use them are willing to use them.

Before that, it is also natural that the tired Romanian National Army cannot even touch the walls.

"Your Highness! See the flag on the walls!

If Piata turns her attention to the words of Demetria, the milk sisters and deputy, it is the strange sealed flag that is beaten and written in Zhu that stands side by side on the walls whether this is still the case. And even more eye-catching among them is the big black flag that waves loudly as if to boast this or its existence at the gates.

Of course Piata knew the flag.

"That crest. - Son of Destruction! Is that him?!"

Even General Darius, whom I secretly admired, flirted with a rare (wanting to come) schemer. A formidable enemy who also terrorized the best general in Holmea. And even if the master risked his honor and life to defeat him, he could not defeat him.

A tremor runs on Piata's back that brings such mighty enemies closer, with neither fear nor joy.

"What kind of wife (cont 'd) did you use to drop Holmenia before our army?

To Demetria's inquiry, Piata shook her head sideways, "I don't know".

"I had read that I was going to poke the back of my army or turn down the stretched supply line that besieged the King's capital."

Neither did Piata think that the Son of Destroyer would merely watch (bokukan) this siege of Holmenia.

Perhaps he expected to come to turn down the stretched supply line or to poke directly at the back of the Romanian National Army, which besieges the King's capital.

For that reason, Piata came while scouting using the Laras to see if there were any troops trying to bypass the King's Capital and turn behind the Romanian National Army until he got here.

But no way could it have been expected that the Son of Destruction was directly aboard the King's capital, Holmenia.

"I see. That's why Lord Darius struggled. I will betray all expectations!

With that said, Piata thinks, but.

The power that the Son of Destruction can move is approximately seven to eight thousand. Furthermore, now that we have won the battle against the Holmea National Army in front of the Conte River, which we already know to hear, and have all of the West under our control, its total strength will exceed 10,000.

But not all of it can move.

Many of the Holmeer National Army defectors and western marquises, who have joined under the banner of the Son of Destruction, must think they are heartless. There would still have been no respite to inform them of the unity of the chain of command, nor of the military edict, besides having those who do not know how to fall when such a thing is called. With that state of affairs, it's just hard to think of mobilizing them.

With that in mind, it would be better if there were at most five thousand Sons of Destruction who would have to crack down on the existing soldiers to maintain law and order in the western part of their grasp.

Yes, Piata was reading.

That's why Piata puts into question.

"Is it that Son of Destruction's plan to stand and cage in the king's capital?

Surely if five thousand soldiers were to enter the sturdy walls of the king's capital, they would surely think it impossible to strike it down with a force push. The Romanian National Army attacking it carries a stretched supply line and even threatens its back by the northern Hormeans.

If we can see that it will be such a muddy siege, not far away, the Romanian National Army will have to leave its soldiers over the King's Capital and enter into full control and protection of the already dominated eastern part of the Holmeer country.

Only then will the king's capital be protected.

But that's all.

Piata didn't think that such a thing - that's all - was the measure of that Son of Destruction.

What the hell is the Son of Destruction after?

Often Piata watched the walls of Holmenia and the Romanian National Army attacking it, but realized there was a fuss.

"What do you mean? I can't see him."

Piata frowned when she could not see those who were supposed to be there. And let Demetria also check to make sure it's not a mistake or a mistake of her own.

"If you ask me, I certainly don't see you like that"

Then Demetria still says the same thing.

"Your Highness, shall we let Lara and the others out?

to Demetria's suggestion, but Piata shakes her head sideways.

"No. I can't afford that. Let Lara and the others look for you as far as you can see from here."

I report to Piata that the conscripts, who ran with that order, will be back in a while.

"Your Highness. He says he only sees a few of them around the Son of Destruction and the Bumpy Man on the top of the gate building, and one of them in the elf on the corner of the walls."

"Are you still...!

If you can't find it with Lara's eyes, then at least you're not within sight.

Piata is rather frightened that it wasn't her mistake.

I still don't know what's going on.

But there was no doubt that the Son of Destruction was just doing something.

"Your Highness. What the hell is this all about?

It is not impossible for Demetria to be confused either. Because normally, that was impossible.

"I don't know either! - But I don't have time to think about it now. I'll see your father as soon as I can!

To put it that way, Piata ran the horse she would ride.

Piata, who led the Baihua squad, aimed at the rear of the Romanian National Army. Naturally, there should be King Dordea there, his own father and general of the army.

Not sure what exactly the Son of Destruction was looking for, but Piata, who decided he had to deal with it as soon as possible, thought it was quick to appeal directly to the Father King first.

However, it was not the father king, but General Dalaios, who welcomed Piata to the main army.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Piata. Well done. You're back safe and sound."

"My Lord General...?

Piata frowned in confusion at Daraios, who gave her a ho reassuring look at herself.

If you calm down and look up at the flag that is being turned over to the main unit, it is the flag of Darius that stands alongside the Holmeer flag. Looking for the flag of the Father King, surprisingly, it was near the front line.

"Why is His Excellency the Grand General, in the rear? Father, why are you in such a place?

There was no room for Darios to answer that Piata question.

"More info later. - I'm sorry I just returned, but I'd like to ask His Royal Highness to soothe His Majesty in any way."

Take Piata down for the line and Darius himself leads the way to the front line. Along the way, as he ran for a small run between the generals, Daraios briefly explained to Piata his previous greetings.

"Oh, my God! Father and Aurelius are those who..."

Piata also knew its name, which the Father King occasionally divulges, but it was the first time she had heard of its past.

Daraios will be a face that has chewed up bitter bugs in a grand way.

"Dear Left. For His Majesty, Lord Aurelius must have been a disgrace to keep hidden and an ancient wound that still cannot be healed. If only they had rubbed him with more salt..."

It is enough to ignite fire from its wrath and body, and at least the offense is the beginning and end of the day when Daraios, who pleaded with the generals to leave him to fall back in the rear line, is himself in command of the siege.

Finally Piata understood why the Romanian National Army had started such a reckless siege. At the same time, if this is at the hands of the Son of Destruction, I am still convinced that my hunch was right.

Piata spoke to Darios as she ran.

"My Lord General, by the way. I'd like to ask you something."

And I said, "Something?" To Darios, who inquires, Piata asks, staring at the enemy soldiers moving over the walls of Holmenia.

"Your Excellency, did you not see the Zoans among the enemies?
