Hakai no Miko

"Hey, look at that!"

One of Zoan's warriors raised his voice pointing to the distance.

That is the southern part of the Sorbian Plain.This area is dotted with reclamation villages where many people have settled as reclamation people due to the reclamation project started under the pale horse.

It also became a granary zone that now produces grain to fill the stomachs of many people in the Eldor country.

The Zoanese warrior who was on patrol in such an important area sees what his people are pointing at.Then I saw black smoke rising into the sky.

"I haven't heard of wild burning."Besides, the smoke seems to be coming from inside the reclaimed village. ”

"It could be a fire. Let's hurry up and see how it goes."

The Zoanese warriors nodded to each other and ran off on four legs.

As you get closer to the reclaimed village where the smoke rises, you can hear a lot of people in the warriors' ears.Moreover, rather than trying to deal with the fire, it was the voice of people fighting with each other, such as screaming and screaming.

What if the bandits raided the reclaimed village?

The Zoanese warriors thought so.

Zoans have been responsible for maintaining law and order since the Pale Horses ruled the Sorbian Plains.Initially, there were raids on reclaimed villages by bandits who had collapsed as mercenaries, and outlaws who made a living from vandalism in the conflict areas, but these poor people were all defeated by Zoan, an excellent hunter and warrior.In recent years, the story of the reclaimed village being attacked was so peaceful that it was not heard at all, and Zoan and the others were secretly proud.

These Sorbian plains are not a place to attack villages.

Harmed by his pride, Zoan's warrior puts more strength into his legs, which run through the earth with indignation.

"Wait! This is weird!"I'll call for backup, just a minute! "

The other warrior, thinking that they were out of hand, stopped to beat the drums to summon support.But the warrior who already ran faster won't stop.

"You call for backup!"I'll go to the village first! "

The warrior had just visited the smoky village a few days earlier to patrol.I couldn't stop thinking that the trailblazers who welcomed me with a smile were being attacked right now.

Zoan's warriors, who ran as fast as a hurricane, ran into the reclaimed village where the houses were swept by red flames and the reclaimed people screamed and fled.

"What the hell?!"

And the surprise...

"What do you mean, what is this?!"

I was stunned.

And it came to pass, that Zoan was swinging his blade against the outcasts that fled before them.

It was only in a few moments that the warrior of Zoan lost himself.Reflexively rushed out to the figure of a compatriot who waved a mountain sword at the mother and child of the pioneers.

"Stop it!!"

I was just about to swing down my sword and hit my shoulders from behind.While his compatriots stagger and fall in this surprise, the Zoanese warrior stands behind the Mother and Child of the Pathfinder and draws his own sword.

"You! Are you crazy?! Why are you acting like this?!"

In response to this fury, however, the compatriots who had been hit by the body rearranged their positions and their fangs peeled off.

"Stay out of my way!" You are Genovanda's servants who have made me so proud! "

They shouted and swung their swords and slashed at me.

I confronted the knife vigorously.

I'm afraid so. Even a slight slash reminds me that my skills as a warrior are winning.

We can't even save the mother and child from the back like this!

Zoan's drums beat violently as he gnashed his teeth.

It was a beat that meant "retreat."

"The genobandas are coming!"Fall back! Fall back! "

Along with the beat of the drum, the raiders rose from all over the reclaimed village.

Outside the village, the beat of the drum, which means "assault", is beaten.Turning to you, there were numerous fellow warriors running towards us with smoke from far and wide.

Shit!

The opponent who was slashing down waved down the sword that had been thrown up.The blow bounces the sword from the hands of Zoan's warrior.After seeing it, Zoan's warriors jumped to the point where they turned their backs and tried to escape.

Let him go!

"I'm persistent!"

Although I clung to my waist, I was beaten by the handle of a mountain knife on my nose, and I couldn't help but shake my frightened (hiruda) place.

At that time, he unconsciously grabbed the ornament hanging from the waist of his compatriot who was trying to escape with his swaying right hand and tear it apart.

Zoan's warrior was trying to catch up with him when he was swayed, but he had already run off with four legs.

It is no longer easy to catch up.Also, even if you catch up with them, you'll only face a knockback if you're inferior to the warrior's ability.

Zoan's warrior, who bites his teeth with remorse but abandons pursuit, looks back.Then there was still the mother of the founder, who was still humbled, and the figure of the child, whom she hugged in her breast, desperately trying to protect.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Zoan's warriors reached out to wake him up.

"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii She's the only one! She's the only one!!"

But it was the screams that came back.

It strikes the warrior's chest harder than the mountain knife of the warrior of Zoan, who was the assailant earlier.Besides, if you think of timidity as a gap, when a woman stands up, she hugs my child and runs away in a blink of an eye.

The Zoanese warrior on his back unexpectedly reached out and tried to stop him.However, his hands grabbed the sky vaguely, and his mouth just leaked a silent breath.

I can understand women's fears.

Even though I was helped, the same Zoan that attacked me.No human of a different race can distinguish Zoan from his own.It was only natural that I was afraid.

Although I understand that, my inexperienced thoughts speak.

"Shit! Who were those guys?!"

He was a warrior who had thrown his anger and mindlessness away, but then he noticed what was rolling on the ground.

It was torn from the opponent's waist when we had contact with each other earlier.

The warrior picks it up with his trembling hands.

"...! What is this?"

It was an amulet made by machining the tail of a wolf.

As a hunting race, Zoan has a custom of wearing a piece of his body as a decoration, a symbol of martial arts, or as a shield.He was also wearing the fangs of a wolf that he had hunted when he became a warrior.

However, it is the tail that is used for this amulet.

Among warriors who are proud of their martial arts, it is not uncommon to use fangs and claws as decorative materials to prove strength and strength, regardless of the clan.However, there should be very few people with the tail as a material, except for a certain clan.

And if we look at the unique combination of color threads used in the tail ornaments, it is clear at a glance which clan it belongs to.

"...... Are they back?!"

◆◇◆◇◆

It's the Tail Clan!

Zoan's warrior, who rushed in as an urgent envoy to the pale horse, shouted so.

It looks like the < Tail Clan > is raiding the Reclaimed Village on the plain!

Azure Horse was confused for a moment by the family name she didn't often ask.

However, I immediately picked up the name from my memory.

[The Tail Clan]?! --- Is that Siemul?

I turned to Siemul to check my memory.Shemul then nodded in amazement to affirm himself.

"Yes, it is one of the four clans of the Sorbian Plains that disappeared from Holmea nearly forty years ago."

Currently, the family of Zoan living in the Sorbian plains are the three families of fangs, claws, and eagles.

Once upon a time, however, the Sorbian Plains was inhabited by four more clans.

That's the Tail Clan.

This is the family that lived in the southernmost part of the Sorbian Plain.Therefore, when the Holmeian nation invaded from the south of the plain, it was the first to be invaded.

Driven from the realm by the Holmea National Army, the Tail Clan, together with the other three clans, form a coalition of all clans to fight back, but defeat the famous general and the prestigious General Darius.

The wish for resurrection was voidly torn. The [Tail Clan] soon disappeared without abandoning the plain, and until now, they had no idea where it was.

After reclaiming the plains by the pale horses, they gradually pushed the settlement project to the territory of the [tail clan], so their return could be an unnecessary disturbance.

But though they were in a rivalry in the domain of the family, their brethren were the first twelve brothers of the beast God after his blood.

Garam and Sherm had strong wishes, and they regularly drummed drums to announce their return and recapture of the plains.

However, until now, there has been no reaction to such drums, and it is thought that they have travelled to far away places where the sound of drums can no longer be heard, or that the family itself has disappeared.

It was unexpected that this would be the enemy of the peace in the Sorbian Plains, which had emerged and been restored.

Azure horses who thought why this had happened recall it.

“I came back unaware that humans were colonizing our space!”

Previously, he consulted with the Zoans to borrow land to exploit the Sorbian Plains.At the suggestion of Chief Bararak of the "Eagle Clan", the land where the "Clan of the Tail" was located was being exploited as a matter of priority.

Now that I've reclaimed the plains, I can tell that the [Tail Clan] would be furious if humans were to appear in their territory.

Ayuma was in a hurry to contact the [Tail Clan] and was anxious to explain the situation.

But that's not what Zoan's warriors say.

"We thought the same as His Majesty, and immediately asked for dialogue in the drum.However, the sound of the drum returned was "only with the blade". "

"I'll only talk with the blade...?"

I didn't understand Zoan's rhetoric, but the wording doesn't seem very gentle.

Shemul affirmed the idea of the pale horse.

"It means rejecting any dialogue and settling only by fighting.--But it's not just a matter of time. "

Shemul frowned so much that humans could see it.

Azure horse asks what that means.Shemul then thought for a moment before answering.

That's right. ― To put it plainly to you, if you think that the messenger you sent while you were fighting the Romanian Empire was suddenly slaughtered without any answers.

Azure horses were surprised.

It means refusing all future negotiations and fighting until either one is annihilated.

Unbelievably, Siemul waved his head to the side.

"This can't be happening." Anyway, we're calling on individuals and families, and we're calling on the [Tail Clan].The answer to that is, "Talk only with the blade." It's like trying to do it until one of your clans dies. "

It is the same tribe called Zoan, but each family is equal to a small country, just as the customs and rules differ depending on the family.From the feeling of modern people, the declaration is like saying that it kills all the countries.

"Wait, wait!" Why would that happen all of a sudden?! "

Azure horses were confused.

I thought I'd be able to make it home, but if the humans were settled, I'd know I wanted to be angry.Besides, I may have mistaken you for a fool.

However, without asking for an explanation of the current situation, everything suddenly went wrong.

“What are you doing with Gurukaka?!”

The pale horse called the name of the red-haired Zoan warrior entrusted with the security of the Sorbian Plains.

Naturally, it was the role of Garam, the eldest of all the Zoans, to oversee the Sorbian Plains.

However, Garam, who also serves as the great general of the Erdoğan kingdom, cannot afford to hang over the plains.

The Erdoğan Army has been in existence for only a few years and days, and is an unprecedented multi-ethnic coalition on the Serdeas.The number and complexity of the problems that arise is greater than you can imagine.

As a result, Garam could hardly return to the plains, and was in a state of exile in the capital.

This leaves the question of the plains unresolved.

Therefore, it was Gurukaka who took the hectic place of herself.

Gulkaka, who was a close friend of Gulkaz, the father of Gulham and the patriarch of his predecessor, was a grand warrior who dedicatedly assisted Gulham, who became a patriarch at a young age.Both parents and children have been cared for by the public and private sectors for generations, and Garam was a person who felt a great debt and deeply trusted.

Without turning back on that trust, Glucaca has never failed to sum up the Sorbian Plains, which has undergone a major transformation to settle humans on the land that was once Zoanic territory.

Garam smiled bitterly at this, saying, "He's a much bigger clan leader than I am."

As a Garam, I wanted to transfer the position of the chief of the [Fang Clan] to Gulcaka.However, this man named Gulkaka has a very unusual personality, and he declined Garam's repeated inquiries with a single word of "incompatibility".

Azure horses were right to predict that such a Gurukaka would not be able to launch a short-circuited counterattack against the sudden attack of the [Tail Clan].

"Sir Gurukaka also said that there must have been some mistake or misunderstanding."Then, he was pressured into the opinion that it should be turned back, and he was issued a circular to stick to the defense of the reclaimed village.Also, at the same time, we repeatedly beat the drums with a beat to ask for a dialogue with the < clan of tails >.

However, at least until I left the plain, there was no response from the [Clan of the Tail] as declared in [only speaks with the blade]. "

So the warriors of Zoan burst forth their tone.

"I'm Zoan, too. From their standpoint, it is understandable that they would be angry to see a human reclaimed village on their former land.But that's not all they are! ”

Azure horses have an even more unpleasant feeling.

“What the hell happened?”

"They are attacking not only their own territory, but also the reclaimed village in the territory of both the fangs and the claws."No, that's not all ─ ─ "

The Zoanese warrior tells him to throw up.

They attacked my fangs and claws!

Azure horses were stunned.

"Maybe it wasn't a misunderstanding, but you came back with the intent to be hostile...?"

Seymour ate the leaked words of the pale horse.

"That's ridiculous! It's definitely their realm, but even if they can't help it, they're the ones who threw it away."It doesn't make sense to try to compete with the clans just because they've taken care of the land! "

Shemul is right.However, the < Clan of Tails > is currently launching an attack against the brethren of both the Fang and Claw clans.We're not going to fight two clans at the same time until we're all wiped out.

After thinking that far, I realized that there was a pale horse.

"Wait a minute. I heard about the fang and nail damage earlier, but is the territory of the [Clan of the Eagle] safe?"

There are few reclaimed villages in the territory of the Eagle Clan that originally did not like humans to settle in their own space.So if we think that there was no raid, then in this case, the village of Zoan has been attacked.If that's the case, the Eagle Clan must have suffered too.

"It seems that there is no harm to the [Clan of the Eagle]."I don't know if it has anything to do with that, but it was almost the same time there was an attack-- "

The warrior of Zoan hesitated slightly, and said the following words to the pale horse:

Lord Menuin Gujattara Bararak, the leader of the < Eagle Clan >, has announced his departure from El Door!
