Hakai no Miko

Episode 22: Battle of Mirza 1 - Harpuran

The Ethereal Horse, who decides to ambush the Romanian National Army, gives instructions early in the arrow.

"Jaharngill and Dvarin will lead their respective soldiers straight here."

What the Ethereal Horse showed is a fort located east between Mirza and the mountains. It was a noble castle that occupied the land around it. Since the loss of the Lords in the Romanian National Conscription West earlier, only a small number of soldiers had been served by deputies seconded by the Ethereal Horse who became king.

"Perhaps the Romanian National Army should also be following our trends. To make it seem as if we abandon the south to consolidate the protection of the city of Gatzen, I enter the city of Gatzen once with the Gallums and the warriors of Zoan. In the meantime, come in here and wait."

Dvarin rocked his beard and Jaharngil took a rough nose to understand. Then the Ethereal Horse sees Garam and Zoog.

"Once in Gatzen, we divide the Zoan warriors into discreet squadrons and send them to this castle in turn. A Zoan warrior with an excellent sense of direction would make that possible, too. I also wait for the night before leading the soldiers along with Setius to the castle. I want Zoan to lead and assist me in that march."

Gallum and Zoog also smacked their own breasts to show that they understood.

Plus the pale horse goes on.

"The Romanian National Army has marched long and thin mountain paths from the Masarca Gate Fort. From their point of view, Mirza, who can be hardened and lined up in all armies, should look like a good (cool) camp. It is inevitable that the Romanian National Army will set up a formation here to organize an army stretched out in the march, rest tired soldiers and hold a military debate to discuss future policies. To plunder the south from now on!

That is unacceptable.

The determination of the pale horse was not put to his mouth, but it was even unto those who had followed him before.

"Then to that formation we ambush!

The Ethereal Horse slammed his fist against Mirza on the map.

"Nor is that coming from the rear where the Romanian National Army is alert. Out west of Mirza over the mountain, poking its defenseless flank from a side not anticipated by the Romanian National Army!

And from the mouths of the companions, he said, "Oh!" and my voice leaks.

"It's dawn to do it! If we use a large army in the darkness of the night, there is a high risk of fellowship. So we ambush with the sunrise. Let's drain the sleepy-eyed Romanian National Army. If the sun rises and brightens, we can aim for greater results. Kick even more confused enemy soldiers, raise the enemy general's neck, defeat the tent, take away weapons and food, and chase away cowhorses. I'll do it thoroughly enough that you'll never feel like attacking our country again!

The Ethereal Horse puts his finger against the castle hall at the meeting point, then pulls it straight to the side and transfers it to Mirza.

"To do this, we must decide to cross the mountains at night from this castle. According to the story, there are several paths from this castle through the mountains to Mirza. But all will be difficult to march at night on narrow and narrow roads. So the night and the nose let Zoan stand first, and the soldier of the human species let him follow."

Then the Ethereal Horse turns his eyes to Pipi.

"Naturally, the lights are minimal in order not to be noticed by the Romanian National Army. Harpuran asks for surveillance and guidance from above to prevent those who lose sight of the road and fall off"

Pipi shook the wings that popped out of his head with a piocon and nodded.

"Dwarves and earful elves with good eyes at night help the Dinosaurians and the humans from the rear."

Eladia and Dvarin indicated acceptance to the instructions of the Ethereal Horse.

Finally, the Ethereal Horse looked around at everyone's faces before telling them.

"Come on! There is no respite anymore. Initiate your own action!

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

At the behest of the Ethereal Horse, each began to act.

Jaharngill and Dvarin led the slow-footed Dinosaurian and Dwarf soldiers down the main street in front of the city of Gatzen and headed straight to the castle hall. The Ethereal Horse, who led the remaining soldiers around Zoan, slowly proceeded further into the city of Gatzen, buying Jahangil and Dvarin time to travel and showing them to the Romanian soldiers who would be scouting from somewhere else.

It was the fervent cheer of the inhabitants that greeted the Ethereal Horses who thus entered the city of Gatzen.

It is the city of Gatzen, which was the most devastating in the Romanian nation's march west. Residents' anxiety would have been great in the news of the Romanian National Army re-invasion, though it was strengthening its defenses. The Ethereal Horse, who led the great army in it, was seen as the Savior.

The Ethereal Horse, who entered the official residence of the deputy through a path scratched and made by soldiers of the welcoming folk, met with the deputy and the city famous men.

So the Ethereal Horse explained to them the status quo and told them that he would also leave the city as the sun fell.

Then they have become sinister faces and have advised them to stay in the city with ease. They said they wanted to have the comfort and welcome feast of the Ethereal Horses who came to the city because of it, but in fact they would be genuine in wanting the Ethereal Horses and the Legion to stay in the city.

But you can't eat it down if the Ethereal Horse tells you that the South must be prevented from getting the same sight as the former city of Gatsen. They reluctantly prayed for the triumph and safety of the Ethereal Horse.

In the meantime, Zoan's warriors, in a small number of discreet people, were heading out of the city one by one to the castle hall at the assembly point.

And after the sun was set, the pale horse also took Shemr and only a few offerings, and went to the castle.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

It was in the early morning of the following day that the Ethereal Horse reached the Castle Hall as he horsed through the darkness of the night with Shemr.

And around noon the same day the Romanian National Army also passed through the narrow mountain path from the Masarca Gate Fort, entering Mirza.

The Romanian National Army, which entered Mirza, began to set up a formation for the camp as read by the Ethereal Horse.

A red-winged Harpuan scout staring at the sight says as he leans his little neck.

"Hey, isn't that weird?

She is at the edge of a tall tree on a mountain overlooking Mirza. Big as opposed to its thin legs, he was holding onto the perimeter with legs that were very similar to those of powerful raptors to see, and scouting trends in the Romanian National Army from there.

Harpuran, with his deep blue wings, which had been paired for this reconnaissance, answers as he rocks his piochon and grown wings from his head.

"Where? I don't feel that way, do I?

To her eyes, the figure of the Romanian National Army seemed nothing but a normal sight to set up in haste.

But the red-winged harpuran, unsatisfied with his partner's answer, has been troubled for a while but makes a decision.

"I'm going to observe from the top."

The red-winged Harpuran, who kicked the periphery and let himself leap into the universe, rose all at once with a big wingspan. Plus the blue feathered harpuran rushes to raise his voice of restraint.

"Don't do it. They tell you not to be too conspicuous and irritating!

"It's okay! Because I just see it from all the higher!

Saying so, the red-winged Harpuan flew directly over the Romanian National Army.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"I was hiding and watching in the distance, but flying directly above, knowing I would be given unnecessary vigilance? - Have you noticed anything?

"Hmm," Piata leaked small, staring at Harpuran, who rose to their own overhead heights.

Being scouted for the Eldor Nation is something to be assumed. There's no pull in the disguise of looking like you're setting up a camp.

But that should be confirmed even from that harpuan flying mountain. I would dare say that I had some suspicion, although I am not sure that I would have said that I had flown to the sky.

"Should this be eliminated...?

If left unattended, there is a risk that the measures will be exposed. But it's certain that if we rule it out, they'll be suspicious even though that Harpuan won't return.

Should I just pray and wait for that harpuan to stay unaware of anything? Or should we knowingly rule out unnecessary vigilance for the Son of Destruction?

It was Piata who had both sides on the scale for a while, but I make up my mind.

"Just praying and waiting doesn't really suit my sexuality. - Hey! Somebody get Lara and the others."

A knight on a horse arrives after a while.

Behind the knight was a girl on board. He says he's on a horse, but he's dressed like a sports seat with a knee, and he's riding right behind the saddle. The girl wore a big cloth softly from her head and covered her entire body with only an impressive young face with big round eyes.

To the girl Piata explains the situation and then asks briefly.

"Lara. I'm sorry, can you do it?

The girl called Lara answers instantly.

"Yes, if His Royal Highness commands you."

So Lara turned her face to the side.

"The other one is hiding over there, and I'm watching you, but how about you?

"Hmm. Speaking of which, the Son of Destruction was letting Harpuran act in pairs. - Now I don't want them to know that Lara and the others still exist. Can you ask for one of those?

Once again, the girl answers Piata's request instantly.

"As His Royal Highness wishes. Leave it to us."

"All right. - You stay out of position and take Lara out of Harpuran's sight in that mountain."

Piata's life-taking knight left the position he was setting up with Lara on his horse. Piata says when a horseback riding with Lara walks into a blind spot looking from a mountain where Harpuran is.

"Well, I asked for it."

"As His Highness wishes."

The girl's voice gave it back.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The red-winged Harpuan, rising in the sky, frowned as he looked down at the Romanian National Army position under his eyes.

"Uh-huh. I wonder what it is? Something's wrong with me."

I don't know if it's my fault. But there's something strange about it.

That's like intuition. There is no certainty whatsoever.

However, he is a Harpuan scout who has always been told by the Ethereal Horse to report on trivial matters from day to day. Just in case, I thought of going to reward the Ethereal Horse, who by now would be resting in preparation for tonight's march.

Let's join our compatriots waiting in the mountains first.

I thought so and was a harpuan who had his body reoriented in the air with his wings heavily struck and wielded, but something moved was captured in the corner of its sight.

Whatever it is, when I turn to you, I see something flying straight towards me from the Romanian position.

"Is that it? What's going on?

While confused by the incomprehensibility of the situation, its red-winged harpuran flew in small circles, wondering if there was any reason for it, and stayed there.

In the meantime, you get closer to yourself, that.

"Huh? Huh?! What? What do you mean?!"

She tried to wield her wings loudly to avoid it as she raised a cry of confusion as the gleam of gillarious polished iron was directed at her.

But a moment earlier than that, a shock strikes that chest.

"Why...?! What are you doing?!"

That became her last word.

There was a spear tip peering through her chest on her back as she fell asunder, scattering red wings along with blood.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The blue harpuran, who watched the sight from above the mountain tree perimeter, similarly raises his voice of surprise.

"What do you mean?!"

What she stares at is the appearance of her partner, who no longer falls to the ground without power. Crash death as it was - no, as if there was no longer the power to make wings strike and wield, he had already ruthlessly told me that the fire of his partner's life could be extinguished.

Before that harsh reality, the blue feathered harpuran is distracted.

As a result, the blue feathered harpuran was momentarily delayed in noticing signs of something flying from his rear.

That determined her fate.

On the verge of realizing it, she tries to kick the perimeter and fly away. But a moment sooner than that, something flies away beside her. On the verge of that, severe pain and shock ran on her back. Plus blood mixes with her exhale pushed out of her chest.

I felt pain in my chest with amazement. If she looked down, there were sharp spear tips growing wet in blood from my chest.

She squeezes her final power at what the hell happened and sees what flew away from her side, and when she looks at her surprise, she vomits words with blood.

"Why...?! What are you doing?!"

Words that were very similar to those leaked at the end by her falling compatriots became the last word for her as well.

Her body falling from the edge of a tall tree makes a small noise and falls to the ground.

One emerald green glow was mixed among the deep blue wings scattered over its corpse with blood.
