Hakai no Miko

Lesson 125 Decisions

"This is our realm..."

Orluk muttered halfway.

"That's right. As promised, this whole area will be yours."

It was Garam who said that.

It was a settlement, and it was officially decided to return to the plains, but it wasn't all over.

After all, we need to move the entire clan to the plains. In addition to preparing for the relocation of the < Tail Clan >, it is also necessary to confirm the destination of the relocation in advance.

So the warriors led by Orruk and Shengaya, who had returned to the warlords, came as an advance party in advance of their families, but everyone often lost their words before they were escorted to the lands of Garam and Zug.

From the small hill where the orchids stand, you can see a vast land with lush green grass. In the immediate vicinity, there was a swamp that became a water field, and there were numerous cows.

"As you can see, there are water fields, and there are cows. There should be no shortage as a destination."

As Garam's words pushed his back, tears overflowed from Orluck's eyes as he stepped forward in a staggering footsteps.

"This is our realm!" This is where we live! "

Orluk said, dropping his knee on the spot, with a sense of gratitude.

We did not contribute to the recapture of the plains, and even though we were deceived, we did not attack. Not only did they cede such an important area to themselves, but no matter what kind of wasteland it was, it was a land of such abundance. Nor did Orruk lie on his knees on the earth, crying unto him.

However, the territory was not the only one reserved for the [Clan of the Tail].

For the time being, this will be enough.

That said, what Zug showed was piles and piles of food. The amount is considerable, and all the people of the [tail family] shall eat for a while. And that's not all. Zug says they are being forced to cede more food and more fur.

It was only natural for Orluk and the others to argue that they could not be so favourable.

However, Zug's response to this was as follows:

"No, these are yours."

Currently, some of the grain and meat obtained as taxes from the reclaimed lands of the Sorbian Plains are paid to Zoan as lease fees for the land. The Garams decided on the allocation for each clan, but in case the [Clan of Tails] returned, the allocation was secured.

However, I don't know when I will return, and even if I just secure it, my food will be wasted. Therefore, half of the allotment of the [family of the tail] was temporarily placed in the treasury of the Erdoğ country, and the other half was distributed to each Fa clan so that it could be immediately supplied when it returned.

Of these, the amount paid to the national treasury was to be received by the Erdoğan State in the form of compensation. From there, it will be distributed to the reclaimed villages that were damaged by the raid.

And the food that was piled up here now was supplied in the form of fangs, claws, and eyes.

As expected, it is impossible to transfer the previous portion in one go, but Zug explained that every time the rent is paid from El Door country, the remaining portion will be transferred several times.

The Orluks who heard that once again clung to the fact that they couldn't get it any more. And I asked each clan to dispose of it as a nuisance fee.

However, Zug also refused, saying, "Can I get more than I have declared to scatter everything in the wind?"

After a while of pressing questions, in the end, the [Clan of the Tail] received half, and the other half settled on the proposal to transfer to the [Clan of Bones] who had just had the same area on the plain as a reward for taking it among the clans.

Of course, the people of the [Clan of Tails], who started with Orluk, were moved by this series of generous considerations.

When Orluk suddenly lowered his hips to the ground in front of Zug, he threw his upper body to the ground and lowered his head.

"[Angry Claws]! I will never forget that I have been so merciful to you as you have been to us for so many disrespectful acts. The twelve families of Zoan, the sons of Cachanta, swear by the honor of their fathers, and by my pride. If [Angry Claw] wanted to fight, he would have deposited my blade no matter what enemy it was, and if [Angry Claw] wanted it, he would have offered it even if it was his head."

Based on this declaration, the [Clan of Tails] people present at the scene all turned to Orluk and offered their swords to Zug.

This made Zug look disgusting from the bottom of his heart.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! I And yet, if you do this, it's about my ticket."

That said, I had to check the food that was still being delivered, and I ran away.

Garam laughed tinyly at Orluk, who had escaped the oath of a generation and was dumbfounded, and Zug, who was running away from it.

At this time, Garam may have been most relieved by the end of the disturbance with [the family of the tail].

If Zug had destroyed the Tail Clan in anger at the time, it would have been a major flaw for Zug.

No matter how justified Zug's anger is, even if the [Tail Clan] declares war with the blade, people will pay attention only to the results. If Zug had killed the entire clan in anger, he would have suffered the stigma of a massacrer.

Zug himself will not allow himself to be so stigmatized. Also, a fighter of the same [Claw Clan] might have admired him for doing better.

But now Zug is a beast general in the Land of El-Do. His compatriots are no longer the only [claw family] to obey.

Many of the other clans fought against Zug's command. Those people could have rebelled against Zug for the stigma of homosexuality.

Considering that, Garam thought that the outcome of Zug's mercy as a fellow Zoanese besides his own clan was by no means bad.

Therefore, Garam later exaggeratedly heard that "there is no one standing in line with the measure of [Angry Claws]".

It was addressed to those who would disobey Zug's cutting. If the clan leader, who must protect the clan, unconditionally forgives the clan of the opponent who attacked unilaterally for whatever reason, he will be dissatisfied. Poorly, it could shake Zug's position within the clan.

It was a compliment in view of that.

Also, at the same time, it is a restraint on the brethren of the [Fang Clan] who will be dissatisfied with the [Tail Clan]. Even the clan elders of the [Claw Clan], who were tensing and scooping up their own industries, scattered everything in the wind in view of the opponent's plight. As for those of the [Fang Clan] who appoint themselves as proud warriors, if they are dissatisfied here, it is like publicly saying that they are weighing less than Zug. I couldn't possibly do such a thing.

With such intentions, I touched Zug and admired him, but Garam was overdoing it.

Later, from Zug, he said, "Disgusting. My asshole is itchy, so please don't do it."

Garam was to swear firmly that he would never do it again.

Now, Garam, who didn't think that would happen, finally stroked his chest that a shoulder load could be lowered to the figure of the orcs who ran around to check the land.

With this, the only remaining problem is the [Clan of the Eagle].

His wife Shishru called out to Garam who leaked it. Garam turns his eyes as she prompts him, and he sees a group of people coming toward the plain.

It was Shemul, who ran on four legs, Shahata, who was riding a horse with her, and Shunupa, the sister of the [Eye of the Clan] who was riding behind her. And they were their guards, their warriors.

While they welcomed the [Clan of the Tail] into the plains, Garam informed the Shemul and the others that the [Clan of the Tail] had returned to Balarak, and asked them to discuss their departure.

And Garam uttered the words of the laborers of Shemr, which were come back, and gathered his mouth together to inquire of his head and his tail.

It was Shemul who did it.

Her eyebrows were lifted in a grumpy mood, and from the edge of her mouth, which was bent to the lettering, she peered slightly into her fangs.

"... I don't think so."

As soon as Garam said it, Siemul's entire body stood upright.

"I don't know anyone with such bigotry anymore!" I just had to leave on my own, be independent or whatever! "

The barking or not, Siemul began to trample on the ground.

I got a saying from the pale horse that it was okay to leave the country, but it was not enough to keep it in mind. This is Seymour, who went there as a messenger with the enthusiasm to convince Balarak himself. You won't even hear the results.

However, Garam, who could not do otherwise, asked what happened to Shunupa, who had been accompanied by Shemul.

Shnupa then told us about the negotiations with Bararak as follows.

First of all, with regard to the reconstructed "family of bones" and the returned "family of tails", while expressing great pleasure and congratulations, the faction remained unchanged and there was little time to say about the specific response if the opinions within the family were not consolidated.

Then, if I said something about introducing Hashamuta and Gadgeta, I said, "It is truly a pity that I introduced such a person without knowing it." After saying words that I could not understand the apology and feelings of modern Japanese politicians, I said, "It is the responsibility of the < tail clan > to believe that person's words or not."

Moreover, Shunupa said with a troubled face.

"When Miko told me to leave, I could not name the tribal king directly, but I made insulting remarks with a rhetoric that obviously made me think so. when I heard that....."

Garam convinced himself.

Even in secret, Siemul can't be furious if he insults the Tribal King, the Azure Horse.

Shemul, who had heard Shnupa's words, barked as he peeled his fangs.

"It's not my fault! I was insulted under my umbilical cord. It's only natural to be angry!"

"Under these circumstances, Lord Bararak said that his son's attitude was disrespectful and the discussion ended in partiality."

Shunupa closed the conversation.

Garam thought this was going to be a hassle.

It's not that Siemul furiously ruined the conversation.

To the fact that Balarak made such a statement.

Siemul's devotion to the pale horse is no longer unknown to anyone on the plains. It is easy to imagine that if you were to shame a pale horse in front of Siemul, she would forget her position and circumstances and get furious. When I dared to do that, I could clearly see Balarak's intention to refuse to consult with the body.

Until now, however, Balarak had sloppily escaped the discussions, but he would have avoided only the decisive confrontation. That's why Garam felt uncomfortable when he came here and refused to discuss it. And Shunupa says, "Probably."

Isn't it strange to return the food that you kept for the [tail family]?

Of course, after the [Clan of the Tail] returns, we must return the food that the [Clan of the Eagle] also kept. Zug concurs with Shunupa's comment that he doesn't like it, is wary of being taken out to talk about food returns, and avoids discussions.

"It's about that cunning and spicy Balalak." It could be. "

Garam could not deny the two speculations.

The food that will no longer come from the reclaimed villages will support the lives of all Zoans in the plains. I can also understand the desire not to let go of the food I once got when I was in need before I recaptured the plains.

However, that would make it even more impossible to leave the country of El Door.

The enormous amount of food that is being given to the Zoans on the plains in the name of renting the reclaimed land in the first place, is meant to embrace the Zoanese fighters as full-time servicemen. Although there is no clear hostility, I could not think of any kind of friendly azure horse, such as handing over food to the Eagle Clan, which poses a potential threat to the rear of the country by leaving the country.

In fact, when many court officials were gathered at the royal palace in Hormonia, and the issue of the plains was discussed, Azure horses were making statements to eliminate the payment of rent to the Eagle Clan.

"During our discussions, Lord Bararak repeatedly emphasized that the [Eagle Clan] contributed to the recapture of the plains. Perhaps, Lord Bararak still thinks he can get the land rent as before, even if he leaves the country?”

And Garam swallowed it, saying, No, it shall not be so thick.

“No. If it's Balalak, I'd say so.”

Even at the venue of the council of chiefs held for the first time after the recapture of the plains, even though there were no members of the staff, it was Balarak who said that the elderly himself ruled the venue of the council. Given that, it was not strange to leave the country and insist on their share.

The plains are Zoan's; and whatsoever they get out of them is Zoan's; and they have their right.

That would be a legitimate claim on the part of Balalak.

But that's true only in the days when Zoan was able to rule the plains. Zoan alone is no longer the peace of the plains, but the survival of our species. In order to secure the plains and the safety of the tribe, we had to enter the great frames of the kingdom of Erdoğ, and establish a firm position there.

It must be said that Bararak's claims in this context are anachronistic.

Because of this, the [Clan of the Eagle] had to destroy themselves. However, it is the same Zoan's compatriots who are blaming themselves for their suicidal demise, knowing that.

"Now, what's the matter..."

Shemul bites Garam, who is confused about how to deal with Balarak.

"Hey, [Fierce Fangs]!" Leave him alone! I don't know anymore! I'm going back to Soma! I'll go home when I leave! "

Whether the limit of being away from the pale horse had arrived, Siemul said something like just a frivolous child. It was Garam who tried to mingle with his sighs, but Sherm said that he would dominate the plane ahead.

"That's what Shrine Maiden Head said!" You don't have to leave him like that anymore! "

Surprised, Garam asks Shunupa for the truth with his gaze. Shunupa then affirmed Shemul's words with a bitter smile. After the discussion with the < Eagle Clan > ended in a farewell, I stopped at the sacred site of Roro on my way back here and met with the shrine maiden's head.

I don't want to do that anymore.

This was the word that was spoken from the shrine maiden's head.

"It's a small object that mistakes itself for being smart." It's just a waste of time. "

It was the opinion of the shrine maiden's head that if the pale horse would tolerate the departure of the [Clan of the Eagle], it would be good to accept the words.

However, at that time, the current reclaimed land that was the territory of the < Clan of Tails > will be returned to the < Clan of Tails >. In addition, as an apology for this disturbance, it would be better to take the form of transferring rights to Ayuma, the king of the tribe, but the shrine maiden's head continued to propose.

As a result, the rights of the reclaimed land, which is now shared by the Plains Zoan, clearly belong to the perennial horses. Along with this, the food that had been paid as a land lease until now will also be a reward for the clan that cooperates in the battle of the Azure Horse, the king of the clan, and will cause them to lose their right to receive it in the future.

Still, if Balarak is thick, he'll be asking for food. However, it was Balalak who originally proposed to cooperate in negotiating the return of the territory when the [Clan of Tails] returned. In addition, if Balarak is reluctant to deliver the food he now holds, he can do so backwards. If I don't come back anyway, I will officially transfer it to the < Clan of Eagles > as a reward for cooperation in returning the territory. In this way, no matter what Balarak says later, if you disagree with this ruling, the argument that the story will not start unless you return the food you gave as a reward first can be rejected.

Garam was convinced by the suggestion of the shrine maiden's head that "I see."

I think it would be better to keep some distance than to try to solve anything badly here.

However, I also felt a little bit of anxiety material.

“Is it okay to transfer this piece of plain to a human species, Soma?”

In the past, people who made friendships with Zoan have been granted the right to build houses and fields on the plains. But it is only on a personal scale. Reclaimed land, on the other hand, reaches as much as a fifth of the plain. No matter how close El Door was to Garam, it was immediately unacceptable.

"That boy is the king of our Zoan tribe. Besides, the half-body came with Miko. This is a fine Zoan, isn't it? What's wrong with Zoan giving up territory to someone who's a Zoan?"

After all, Shunupa, who felt the same concern as Garam, had already asked the same question to the shrine maiden's head, and this was the answer she had received.

The rhetoric is also rhetoric. But it was an argument that was hard to deny, more than that Zoan of all the plains had recognized the pale horse as king of the tribe.

Garam, who had often been thinking with his arms folded, let out a deep sigh.

"... it's going to be a divisive path with the [Clan of the Eagle], but it's also a necessity."

The nation of Erdoğ still faces the threat of Alexius' rebellion in the north and the Romanian nation in the east. I can't stay with Balarak any longer.

I have no choice but to admit my departure from the country.

Garam decided to cut off the Clan of the Eagle.
