Hakai no Miko

"Suddenly, Partis, the second prince of the Romanian state, led the soldiers across the river!

The reward brought by Pipi Totto Gigi, who abruptly descended on the royal palace of Holmenia, the king's capital of the country of Erdoğa, became an invisible fist and struck down the pale horses.

Just then, the Ethereal Horses were in the midst of a morning discussion among themselves. Michena Erbazizo, who was explaining the country's financial situation to the Ethereal Horse, opens her mouth pokangly, fluttering down the wings that Pipi struck and wielded on its head.

The pale horse, who was often flat, rises from the throne and asks Pipi.

"What do you mean?! Wasn't there a dispute in the Romanian state over the right to inherit the throne between Prince Gordia and Prince Partis?

Ethereal horses were always attentive to trends in neighboring Romania. The collection of information on the Romanian State is not indispensable from the humans of the Romanian State, the merchants who travel to and from both countries, etc. who used gold to flex.

And naturally, the Ethereal Horse also watched over the civil unrest that had recently taken its edge in the battle between Prince Gordia and Prince Partis for succession to the throne.

So far, however, as far as the Ethereal Horse hears, the civil unrest has finally reached a battle led under the leadership of mutually supportive generals.

What happens when Prince Partiz leads the army and invades us?

The answer to the question of the Ethereal Horse also did not carry Pipi, who came to reward it.

"I don't know for sure. But there is no doubt that the armies of the Romanian state have invaded with the flag of the Kingdom of Romania and the flag of Prince Partis."

Pipi affirms. Not sure what the hell happened, but I was convinced it was true that Prince Partis had led the Romanian National Army into the attack.

That's why the Ethereal Horse is puzzled by the divergence between prior information and the reward it brings.

"What are you scared of, Soma"

And it was Shemr, standing beside the throne, that smote the pale horse. To her reprimand for withholding her voice, the Ethereal Horse returns to me. Once he lowers his back to the throne to calm his mind, the Ethereal Horse turns his face to the Grand General Garam Gargus Garam, who was in the morning council.

"Mr. Gallum."

After saying that, the Ethereal Horse blushes a little.

Just as he changed his name from "I" to "I" after he took office as king, so did the way everyone called him without honoring him. However, old habits still arise in some sort of situation.

In front of his subordinate, who was deciding not to ask me his faults with an unfamiliar face, the pale horse coughed gently and reworded them.

"Gallum. How many soldiers are ready to move?

Gallum thinks a little before answering.

"The city of Gatzen is pre-positioned with a thousand soldiers led by Setius in preparation for the unforeseen as His Majesty ordered. In addition to this, Zug and Dvarin, who were lying in the name of the exercise, were four thousand and a thousand soldiers, respectively, near Wang Du. After that, Jaharn Gill and Lord Eladia's gestures will add up to less than a thousand."

The Ethereal Horse, who calculated in his head that the total number of soldiers ready to move was about six to seven thousand, confirms to Pipi.

"Pipi. Do you know how many Romanian National Army soldiers you've invaded?

"Yes, its total number seems to be slightly less than 20,000."

To Pipi's answer, the Ethereal Horse made a difficult face.

Simply by the number of troops, the enemy more than doubles. A Ethereal Horse who has repeatedly destroyed enemy forces many times more than his own so far, but that is also something he was able to do because he chose the battlefield beforehand and prepared measures. It is too dangerous to fight an enemy army that is more than double its own without any measures in place.

Nevertheless, we cannot just leave the invasion of the Romanian National Army as it is.

"Hitting each other from the front with the Romanian National Army is not a good idea. But if we do nothing like this, many people will be sacrificed. That's unacceptable."

To the words of the Ethereal Horse, the Gallums nodded at once.

"First, let's give a preaching order to Setius, who is in the city of Gatzen. Call on the neighbors to evacuate and put them in the city. Then tell him never to go on offense. No matter how many 20,000 armies have attacked us, if we make it to Cage Castle, we'll be able to hold out until we get there to help."

To the words of the Ethereal Horse, Pipi raises his voice.

"We have already told Lord Setius about the invasion of the Romanian country! At that time, Lord Setius himself had offered to do the same as His Majesty's words!

Besides, the Ethereal Horse nodded, "Well done".

"Okay, Gallum. Just a soldier who can move now, so you need to form an army immediately. As soon as we're organized, lead the soldiers with me to the rescue of the city of Gatzen."

"I understand," Gallum slapped his thick chest to show.

"Next, Marcronis"

Called by the Ethereal Horse was an old man with countless knife wounds engraved on his face - formerly an assistant squadron leader of the Holmea National Army, but now Marcronis, a man commanding soldiers of the human race in the Eldor country.

"You will remain in the king's capital and ask for the conscription of prostitutes. As soon as Adomius returns, who is now on patrol to the north, lead the prostitutes with him to Gatzen."

Then the Ethereal Horse looks back at Shemr.

"Shemr. Who is now in command of the Zoan warriors in the plains?

"It's Gurkaka and Vanuka"

Shemr responded instantly.

Fagle Jagata Gurkaka is a close friend of Shemr and Garam's father, and is now a red-haired warrior acting as chief on behalf of the busy Garam as the Great General of the Eldor Nation.

And Menuin Bararak Banuka is a young youth of Zoan with Bararak as his father, the chief of the "Takeshi clan". Since my father Bararak is passive in his cooperation with the Eldorian State, he is instead leading a warrior of his clan to help the Ethereal Horse.

"All right. Then we'll have the two of you gather the Zoan warriors. Pass it on with a drum."

The Ethereal Horse turns to Pipi after confirming that Shemr nods.

"Pipi. Sorry I just flew in from the east, but go to the workshop on Marben Copper Mountain and tell Norzuri to send his soldiers too"

Pipi extended his wings wide to lay low on the ground and showed his euphemism. The Ethereal Horse then commands Michena.

"Michena. Hurry up and arrange for food preparation and transportation. Marco will help us prepare the food."

The Ethereal Horse rose from the throne after Michena heard him nod nervously and accept Marco in an unconscious voice who did not understand the situation.

"In addition, report the Romanian invasion to the entire country. At the same time, we will summon the entire army! Everybody, do everything you can to protect your country!

And those who were in the midst of the sight rejoiced, "I will."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

As everyone jumped out of sight to fulfill the role given to them, the remaining Ethereal Horse bowed down to the throne and sighed.

"What the hell happened...?

The Ethereal Horse also contemplated unforeseen events, as he had made Setius head to the city of Gatzen in advance with a thousand soldiers.

However, it is a matter of concern that the Gordians and the Partisans clashed, either losing would be more torn and fleeing into the Eldor country.

But according to Harpuan's report, which has flown reconnaissance to the western part of the Romanian state just before this, it should have been roughly by now that the two armies collide. I don't think that the battle to divide the Romanian country into two parts has settled in less than half a day and has invaded us as it were. Besides, there are too many Romanian National Armies that have invaded the country. Rather than being one of the two princes, it was a number that the two armies could not possibly have had to join.

There's only one thing I can think of that would happen.

"Prince Gordia and Prince Partis put their hands together and hit a play?

The Ethereal Horse thought that the two princes had conspired to make it look like a battle for succession to the throne and were actually dignified and pushing ahead with preparations for the Eldor Nation's requisition west.

But the Ethereal Horse immediately denies his thoughts.

At least it's a situation where the two princes were naming and competing for succession to the throne. As Solon had previously pointed out, even if there was room for the princes to work together, it would seem very unlikely that each faction's people could forgive it.

Not to mention, as far as the Ethereal Horse knows, it is the forces of Prince Partis that dominate within Romania. It would take time, but if we kept going, it seemed likely that Prince Partis would become King of Romanias. In such a situation, would it be possible to entrust hostile Gordia with supplies, which are the lifeline of the army, so that they can attack themselves into dangerous enemy lands?

Impossible, the pale horse thinks.

Given the possibility that Gordia, a disadvantage, will eliminate Partiz without regard, it is not something we can at best leave to the rear to attack into enemy territory.

It was also thought that, assuming the Partis side was at a disadvantage, they had attacked for the great achievement of Erdoğa's national enlistment west, aiming at a one-shot reversal. But it can also be a huge loss of support if we fail to recruit west. It didn't seem very good that the dominant Partisans would strike out such a beating right now.

The pale horse scratches his head with gasp.

"No. I don't know how much you think."

Saying so, the Ethereal Horse rose from the throne. Then Shemr, who just stood beside the Ethereal Horse, asks.

"Soma, are you going somewhere?

"Oh. - I thought I'd go to someone who seemed to be able to deduce the most."

When the Ethereal Horse said so, Shemr glanced at him with a grand face.
