Hakai no Miko

"Long live Chief Balarak!"

And all the members of the family chanted together with the cry.

Balalak, who was praised, said that he was happy. Balarak raised his hand to the people of the family in a faltering manner and responded.

It is the settlement of the Eagle Clan. The village was centered on Balarak and his blood family, and it was a village that should be said to be the center of the "family of the eagle", where the family that represented the most powerful blood family in the family gathered.

It was the other day that an emissary came to officially acknowledge the departure of the "Clan of the Eagle" from the country in the name of Shemul, the son of the Beast God, on behalf of the Azure Horse, the king of Erdoğan, and to want to be a good neighbor in the future.

In response to this, Chief Bararak of the "Clan of the Eagle" sent the messenger back with the gratitude for accepting their request and the desire to be a good neighbor as well, while the family members were widely fussing (fighting) that they had won independence from El Door.

Today, as a celebration, the representatives of the villages dotted across the plains were invited and a grand banquet was held.

“We are the proud Zoans! We are the only Zoan on the plain!!"

And Balarak lifted up the cup which he had with the words, and the family members lifted up the cup with the same words.

At this time, Balalak was a specialty climax.

Foolishly, the other clans will be deceived by the king of the humans, and will drain their strength to the extent that they are forced to fight unnecessarily. Meanwhile, our [Eagle Clan] will accumulate strength, become the strongest clan in the plain, and take the lead of all clans.

Everything is as one thinks.

Nothing is more pleasant than this.

While pouring alcohol into such a pleasant Balalak liquor room, one of the leading members of the family makes a proposal.

“Chief Balarak, how about your son's caution on this special day?”

The most powerful candidate for the next chieftaincy in the House of Eagles, where the chieftaincy is selected from among the powerful bloodline, is Banuka, the son of Balarak. The proposal was made with the intention of increasing the influence of the current and future chiefs, but Balalak, who was reasonably drunk, nodded in a good mood.

"Yes, my son must have been cold-headed."

Balarak ordered the warrior nearby to bring Banuka.

Soon, a warrior brought Banuka in.

"Banuka, today is the day of goodness, and I have decided to release you from all the caution that I have given you."

Banuka, who was never allowed to leave his tent, and was forbidden to exchange words with anyone in the village, wanders around the village where an unusual feast is held.

"... a good day? What the hell happened?"

In contrast to Banuka, whose face is clouded by bad feelings, Balalak tells with a full smile.

"Rejoice, Banuka, for we have lost control of mankind."

One Banuka looks at the bragging words of Balalak as they are applauded by those around him.

"No way, because I really left the country of El Door?!"

"That's right! Those young people and their children aren't the only ones." You made us recognize our independence, you humans, who pester the king of the tribes! This makes us the only proud Zoan on this plain! ”

And the young men which Balarak saith are Garam and Zug, whom he looketh down upon every day: and the sons of the Lord are Shemul, and the kings of the tribes are pale horses.

It is no longer a joke to say that, in addition to those who represent Zoan in the plains, they have even admitted Azure Horses, the king of the kingdom of Erdoğan.

"W-what are you talking about?!"

Banuka will be exhausted.

His father, Bararak, proudly says he is independent. But for Banuka, it sounded like isolation.

Balalak is unaware of Banuka's half lost self.

How many of the other clansmen are fools! How did he show off such other clans in such a brilliant way? And from now on, how will the [Clan of the Eagle] prosper?

And Balarak spoke of his merits in good tidings.

"You know that by cooling your head." Zoan deserves the pride of being my successor. "

"What do you mean by pride...?"

Banukha interrupted Balarak's words.

But it is disrespectful. Even if you are a parent and child, it is not permissible to block the words of the chieftain in the middle.

"What...?"

Balalak frowned uncomfortably. In the case of Banuka so far, I apologized only because I didn't want to be disgusted by my father. But it was different all the time.

Banuka barks at Balalak.

"I'm so proud of Zoan, what do you say?!"

The roar of Banuka silenced the joyful music and banqueting that had been playing in the village until then.

"Have you forgotten already?! I was chased down the plains, pushed into the hills and mountains, and the days when I was even struggling with the bread of the day!" I was afraid of when the human army would attack, and I had to keep hiding! "

Banuka looked around the village as he gazed at his family.

"And yet, who is to blame for this grand opening of a stupid feast?!"

Banuka points to the dish served at the feast.

“Who brings the ingredients of the dish you can eat like this?!”

In addition, Banuka shows the entire settlement with her arms spread out.

"And the tools that men use for hunting and gathering!" Pots and cauldrons for women to use! Bedding in a tent! Cold shield to keep the cold out! "

And Banuka shouted as she squeezed the air out of her lungs.

“Isn't everything from His Majesty Soma and the kingdom of El Dor?”

I know that!

Balalak raises his eyes in anger and refutes.

"Then I'm not trying to confront you!" They're just saying, just keep your distance! If you don't have enough food, you can hunt! How did you get your own food before the humans arrived?! If you want the tools, you can buy them from the peddlers as usual! If you sell the spices and woollen fabrics they want, you'll get the money! "

Banuka was disappointed in her father.

Because I realized that my father, Balalak, was only looking at a future that was convenient for us.

At present, the huge amount of food that comes from the El Door country as lease money for reclaimed land cannot be supplemented by hunting alone.

It's also because regular peddlers are now under the rule of the Erdogh kingdom. Many pedestrians will step on two legs if the land is not secured by the laws of El Door. Even so, there are some specialty products that are only in the territory of the "Clan of the Eagle", and some merchants will come knowing such dangers, but unfortunately, spices and wool textiles can be obtained from other clans. There is no reason to risk coming to the pedestrian.

In particular, the chief of the [Claw Clan], Zug, began mass production by teaching the human women in the cultivation and cultivation of spices to weave Zoanic fur fabrics. Banuka, who had learned the market principles of Erdoğan as the supply increased and the price declined, saw his family even more in distress.

Balalak, who does not know that he is disappointed by his son, continues to say that he can't bear the pain.

“I can't stand to be caught in the crossfire of humans and my clan's precious warriors dying!”

Balarak speaks not only to Banuka, but also to the attention of his clan.

"We are Zoan!" You're a proud Zoan! If the humans want to kill each other, they can kill each other on their own! Isn't it the foolishness of a fool to put his neck into such an unnecessary battle and let the pawns (mischief) kill the warriors? "

Banuka rebels against the signs of Balarak's approval among his clans.

"If His Majesty Soma is defeated by our sight - what would you do if Erdoğan were to perish?!"

"Have you ever heard of the human kingdom!" We are the Zoans! All you have to do is defend the Sorbian Plains inherited from this ancestor! If the humans attack the plains again, then we [Clan of the Eagle] will lead all the clans to battle! "

And there rose up an applause from among the families.

On the other hand, Banuka is stunned.

I remembered the danger that my father, Bararak, would not even look out of the plains. But I never thought I'd get this far.

"If not!" When the kingdom of Erdoğan is gone, the humans will come to the plains again! ”

This Sorbian Plain could be a barn enough to feed a million troops, as evidenced by the fact that Zoan's food in the Plain is covered by the rent of land brought in from the reclaimed land.

It is impossible to miss such an important land.

“And it's even stronger than the one who defeated the black beast that once defeated all of Zoan on our plains! How am I supposed to fight such a person with just the [Clan of Eagles]?!"

Balalak frowns when he is stabbed in the pain.

And Banuka even grieved for her father, who could not answer instantly even preparedness for this level of prediction.

Banuka is about to start crying.

"I have received a lot of grace, and I have received various blessings, and instead of thanking them, I turn my back and scold the evil one!" I laugh at the foolishness of other clans stretching their bodies to protect the plains! Is that Zoan's pride? Is that what Zoan is proud of? ”

Banuka screams as if she were spitting blood.

Throw that pride away in Genovanda's swamp of shit!

The surroundings calmed down.

And Balarak trembled, clenching his fist as much as he could.

I've regained Zoan's pride. Throw it into the swamp of the dung of Genovanda, as it would have done. I can hardly overhear it. Not to mention the fact that it was my son who said it.

"Think of me as your son, sweetheart, and get on the map!"

Balalak barks with enthusiasm.

“You're banishing your clan!”

The village was hit by a shock.

In this era, expulsion from the community of life is also tantamount to the death penalty. It is a severe punishment that not only loses its livelihood and base, but even its human rights. If you go to El Door, you will have no trouble living, but if you follow the customs of the past, Zoans will no longer be treated as a legitimate person.

However, Banuka answered briefly, "I understand," and returned to his tent, returning his heel on the spot. Then fold the tent and start packing your bags.

The men of the family that ate the bubbles rushed to soothe both Banuka and Balarak, and tried to keep them together, but neither of them listened.

Banuka, who packed his belongings, came to Balalak again.

"Thank you, Lord Balarak. Thank you for your time." Today, on this day, this Banuka will be unrelated to the < Clan of the Eagle >. "

Banuka, sitting cross-legged on the ground, put a collar that mimics the eagle, showing the < Eagle Clan > on her neck, before her eyes, and bowed her head deeply and said the words of separation from the clan.

The clans are desperately trying to calm down Balarak, but Balarak, unwilling to turn his back on Banuka.

At that time, a young warrior comes forward from the walls made by the clansmen who are surprised and puzzled by the exile of Banuka from the special feast.

Like Banuka, the young warrior, carrying a folded tent and luggage, sat down next to Banuka as he gazed at his compatriots.

Then, when you remove your collar, you put it in front of you and bow your head deeply.

"Chief! I would like to join you in the land of El Door with Lord Banuka, so please forgive me for leaving my clan!"

In response to this sudden offer, Balarak watched in amazement, and the people groaned in amazement.

The same applies to Banuka. Although I know the warrior well, I am never close enough to call him close. When Banuka asks her why she leaves her clan, she does not think she has been martyred, and the warrior replies with a disgraceful look.

"The father who died the other day used to tell me that. The Grand Festival Bororo, which I had given up seeing anymore, was only seen thanks to the tribal king. When you meet the king of the tribes, you must convey your gratitude."

There the man frowns.

"However, I haven't been thanked by the tribal king yet." Now, my dead father will be mad at me. I'm sorry about that. "

Banuka laughs at this.

“Yeah, I hate that.”

"That's what I'm talking about."

Banuka and the young warrior laughed brightly.

Balalak trembles at his appearance. And when I turned my whole body upside down, I told him to throw up.

Do as you please!

◆◇◆◇◆

After Banuka and two young warriors left, the village was no longer feasting.

However, Balalak, who was unable to accept his mistakes, was forced to continue the feast and continued to dry the wine cup while loudly praising his achievements.

However, it must have been a terrible shock for Balarak to be defected from his only son.

And that night he drank beyond the limit, and Balarak fell asleep drunk.

It became a crossroads of destiny for Balarak and the [Eagle Clan].

And the next day.

Balalak was surprised when he left the tent holding his head against a hangover headache.

"... what is this?"

In front of the entrance of the tent of Balarak, there were neatly arranged collars representing the family of the eagle. The number shall not fall below twenty.

What is the matter with this? When Balarak questioned the members of the family, several members of the family visited Balarak's tent one after another last night and said that they had left the family.

Balalak was surprised.

"Hey, why didn't you wake me up?!"

“We tried to wake up again and again. However, Lord Bararak was sober that he never woke up. That's why they greeted each other outside the tent and left the collar.”

When I was told, there was a vague memory of trying to wake myself up and driving away the evil one.

I can't blame him for my failure. Also, I couldn't afford it. Last night's feast brought together prominent figures from other villages. If the stories spread in the villages where they had returned, it didn't necessarily mean that no one would be upset.

Hurry, Balarak groomed himself and called for unity around other villages to unite his clan.

It was Balarak who ran around the plain until dusk, but he was surprised to return to the village and come to his tent.

And there were many collars before the tent.

"W-What is this all about...?"

Balalak was stunned.

I wasn't drunk like I was last night and couldn't get a greeting to leave my clan. I knew I wasn't there, and I left my clan's evidence without saying hello.

For he hath not departed from his family, but hath forsaken his family.

It was a manifestation of intent that Balarak would not be recognized as a chief.

Moreover, the defector did not stop there. The next day, and the next day after that, the number of leavers increased with each passing day, and finally one blood family and one village separated from the whole [family of the eagle].

As if this were the case, Balalak's spirit is fading, and he's slowly getting crammed in.

Then, a few years later, until the number of clans that were the largest in the plains fell below the < Eye Clan >, Bararak finally withdrew from the position of the chief because of his weakness.

Those who have lost their eldest clan will wish for the return of Banuka to the land of Erdoğ and their return to the land of Erdoğ. Then, the wish was fulfilled, and Banuka became the new chief of the [Eagle Clan] and returned to the country of El Door.
