Hakai no Miko

Guided by Rudolphus, Kafner shouts out loud as he sees what's going on in the city through the removed obstruction.

"Ko, this is...!

It was just a deserted city. From the city where more than three thousand dwarves were supposed to reside, the figure of the dwarf disappeared without a single dwarf, and in its place stood the myriad of Kamiyamako.

Besides, when I saw Yamako, I stuck a stick of wood that had been crucified to the ground, and I just put my helmet and armor on there. If it wasn't behind the blockade, you would have noticed immediately that it was crude, but it also incites remorse.

Also, Sayamako wasn't the only one there.

Around Sayamako, cattle and goats freed from their livestock huts were relaxing and eating grass on the side of the road. Those livestock are roped, with stones stuffed in round bottom pans and cauldrons at the end, where spears are tied upright. When the cows and goats moved around for food and water, this pot or cauldron dragged around, and in the distance it looked like someone with a spear was moving.

"I mean, I've been made to do Sayamako and livestock for three days...?

As he comprehends the situation, there is anger in Kafner's chest. Kafner impulsively kicked down a spear that a nearby cow had been towing. However, a spear placed in a stone-packed, round-bottomed pan rises in the same procedure as the Lifting Little Master (Spill). Kafner occasionally struck his nose on a spear that jumped momentously with a kicked back recoil, causing him to kneel too much in the pain.

Rudolphus pretends not to look at the faults of his fellow man.

"... I'm letting the soldiers search the city now. If anything, you'll find out soon enough."

As the saying goes, some time later one of the soldiers came to report that a soldier from the Holmeer country who had been stationed here had found a building where he was being held prisoner. When Rudolphus and Kafner rush to the reward, it is a hut-like slave hut that was pushing Dwarf's slaves in. Though he was not killed, he was not even handled for his injuries, and the appearance of the soldiers who had been pushed into such a narrow cabin, along with a few days of food, seemed terrible.

Among the rescued soldiers, the soldier of the highest rank tried to express his thanks and apologies, but Kafner blocks it.

"More than that, it's copper! Where's the copper?!"

The soldier answers even though Kafner grabs his chest barn and rubs his head back and forth.

"If it was copper to be transported to Wangdu, put it all in the luggage car and put it in the square..."

"Where's the square?! The square!

When a soldier points to someone with a square, Kafner throws the soldier away and runs out. Rudolphus also chased after Kafner after ordering his men to provide allowances and care for the soldiers he rescued.

By the time Rudolphus finally caught up, Kafner was just blurring in the middle of the road. Kafner, who noticed Rudolphus and looked back, pulled his cheeks together and gave him a dry laugh. And I pointed at the square in front of me with my trembling fingers.

"Le, it's Rudophus. My luggage car... no copper...!

Instead of falling off one piece of copper in a luggage truck with a chunk of copper, there were only countless deep pieces left in the ragged square.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Around the Ethereal Horse was boiling down to reports from Gallum that he was able to safely carry large quantities of copper out of Marben Copper Mountain along with all the Dwarves.

"Moving a Dwarf for a City is as bold as ever"

It was Marcronis who so praised the Ethereal Horse's strategy of getting a whole dwarf in Marben Copper Mountain.

In this age, cities and villages are one world. It's not normally possible to abandon the world and move. Sometimes they chase cities and villages because of the fighting, but in that case they usually have to become displaced. Then all that awaits is the fate of being hunted as prey to the bandits and bandits, or of being slaughtered to death somewhere.

Abandoning the city is synonymous with dying.

So many, like Marcronis, were not willing to embark on this measure. To persuade such people, the Ethereal Horse gave examples of what he knew.

"It was a long time ago, when the monarch had no choice but to abandon the city and flee when the great army of enemies attacked him, a people admiring the monarch abandoned the city and fled with him. - This time, I'm prepared for it, and I don't think it's ever going to be possible."

And we were all impressed.

But if the Ethereal Horse had explained the case in further detail, they would have reacted differently. Because the example given by Aoima is the story of Liu Bei Xuande fleeing Shinno before Cao Cao Jun, who is pushing over, read in the comic book "The Three Kingdoms". Neither did Marcronis think that Aoi Horse was inspired by the entertainment book.

In addition, reports of soldiers of the Holmeer country entering Marben Copper Mountain there were brought about by Pipi of Harpuran.

"Did you just notice that the Fierce Fangs are moving this way from the city?"

Even though the National Army of Holmea was being flirted with by the measures of the Ethereal Horse, it was Shemr in the face who said it was painful and irresistible, but beside it the Ethereal Horse had a difficult face.

It is the National Army of Holmea moving faster than expected by the Ethereal Horse.

As it stands, the only soldier to be directed immediately to Marben Copper Mountain should be the National Army around Wang Capital. It is important to just screw the soldiers out of Wang Du's defense. It's not something you can do overnight.

Yet this swift action was just as if someone had been moving in anticipation of this.

But the Marben Copper Mountain offensive has been carefully prepared over the course of nearly five years. They couldn't have spotted it, and there was no sign of it.

The Ethereal Horse tried to laugh off that he cared too much for himself.

But a certain person's name comes up in the back of his brain unexpectedly.

But soon the Ethereal Horse shook it off his head. It is hard to believe that that man, who has lost his legs by touching King Walius's inquisitiveness and is cautious with many supporters also lost, did something.

Anyway, as we now speculate on the reasons for the rapid action of the Holmeer State, the information on hand is not enough. The Ethereal Horse, so severed, now makes dealing with what has happened a priority.

"Mr. Pipi. Please pass it on to Mr. Gallam. Worst of all, you can throw away the copper. He said he cared about his life."

Retrieving the stolen copper should be a priority over killing all the runaway Dwarves for the Holmeer State. At times of need, if you throw down the copper, you will also be able to escape while the Holmeer National Army is picking it up.

Pipi, who asked the Ethereal Horse to give him a message to Gallum, said, "I understand," and walked straight up to the skies with his aid on the small run before waving his winged arms wide. Shemr tends to hesitate to speak to the Ethereal Horse, who was dropping off Pipi as he twice-three swirls over the sky and then flies away towards the east.

"Hey, Soma. Can't you pick him up from us?

I won't put it in my mouth, but I'm still worried about Gallam, my brother. To Shemr, who suggests so, the Ethereal Horse shakes his neck sideways with a seemingly sorry face.

"You can't do that."

The Ethereal Horses are just training recruits here, but that alone is nailing the soldiers of the Holmeer Nation across the river. If we pick up the Gallums here, we will take them to the Gallums even to the soldiers of the Holmeer Country who were nailing them.

After explaining it, the Ethereal Horse laughed and showed Shemr to reassure him.

"For the sake of time, Mr. Gallum has taught them one thing to do, so it's okay. And..."

The Ethereal Horse looked at the Holmeer Country with a mean looking grin.

"- If it's common sense to lead Holmeer's troops, we won't be able to find Mr. Gallum anytime soon."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Copper! Whatever it takes, we have to get the copper back!

Kafner spurned and forcefully theorized.

"The Dwarves who fled took even more enormous copper than they had women, children, the elderly, the wounded and the sick! The stride is inferior to that of a turtle. Then we should still be able to catch up enough!

Rudolphus agrees with this. But just in case, he broke down five hundred infantry troops from his own unit and ordered a thorough search of Marben Copper Mountain and its environs. Leaving Dwarves and others to think they are carrying copper and doubt the possibility that they are hiding it around here is just prudent Rudolphus.

"Okay! Where you dug back the brand new dirt! Pit that just collapsed! Under the floors or behind the ceiling of the house! In the wall! Fucking toilet hoarder! Look everywhere! Find the copper at all costs!

Then Rudolphus led each soldier back to the street with Kafner.

The two, who are more strictly ordered to reclaim copper than King Walius, drove their soldiers west down the street in pursuit of the escaped Dwarf and the stolen copper.

Naturally, there is little rest, etc. As a result, many people with poor health fall out of the ranks. But he didn't even look at those people, but even in search of Dwarves and copper, Rudolphus and Kafner ran down the street.

But the Dwarves can't catch up after a day or two on how far away they've gone. That's all I heard from travelers caught on the road, and no one said they saw thousands of dwarves.

And while we could not find the figure of the fleeing Zoan and Dwarves, we finally came to L'Oma, the westernmost city of the Holmeer country.

While I was surprised (a lot) at what this was all about, when I just met Lords of L'Oma, Kafner asks the Lords the most openly.

"Did they not come here Zoan or Dwarf with copper?!"

But Luoma's lords, busy with the responses of the marquis coming together one after the other for the rebel slave crusade, flaunt Ludovus and Kafner when they have never seen or heard of them.

Kafner's disrespectful demeanor has also driven him out of the Lords' residence, and the two look at each other.

"It's Rudolphus. Where did Dwarf and Copper disappear?

"I don't know. - Didn't you overtake him somewhere along the way?

The opponents are Zoan and the Dwarves, who have a good night's eye. No wonder he hid somewhere during the day and traveled only during the night. Without realizing it, we could have overtaken it at some point.

With that in mind, Rudolphus and Kafner scolded the exhausted soldiers and took back the streets they had just come to.

Now while exploring the woods and valleys along the streets and other places where the Dwarves are likely to be hidden. Getting back near Marben Copper Mountain took twice as long as it took me to get here.

But still, the copper was not found as a grain, as one of Zoan and Dwarf.
