Hakai no Miko

Darius learned of the reward when, together with Pompius, he was contemplating measures against the Son of Destruction.

The news of the great loss at the crossing of the Conte River had already arrived. By the time it was delivered, just as Darius couldn't help but float a bitter colour on his face.

But at the time he was lured to the battlefield of the crossing, the defeat of the Crusaders was already a given among Darius. Darius only leaked one bitter sigh, and was discussing its measures with Pompius in preparation for the Son of Destruction, which would take him to chop up the West.

In order not to protect the Holmeer country, we also hope to burn down all its remaining life expectancy.

It was such a Darius obsession.

But the newly-delivered recompense there had just stunned that Darius, or even Pompius, who had once slashed him with a blade of his tongue more than one another, even as an arbiter and with the creepers of the nations, did not know what to say at all, and opened his mouth pointlessly for a while.

"It's Darius. This..."

It was Pompius who was finally able to squeeze the words out, but it was speechless no more.

Because what the reward means is that it was the worst thing for the former Prime Minister, who devoted his whole life to the country, for the Holmeer country, which he cannot speak of at all.

Darius closed his eyes as if to pray silently for a while, but when he opened his eyes, he swept away with his arms on the big desk where he and Pompius had been poking each other in the forehead until earlier. A bunch of stacked paper, a widened map, and countless pawns placed on it were spun away, making noisy noises and falling to the floor.

And on a desk where nothing was gone, Darius poked his arms around him and nodded.

"God even gave me a chance to fight him again. I don't know..."

From Darius's lips, words spit blood.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Even Darius, who was running in the shadows to rebuild the leaning Holmeer country, was brought to King Walius just as Alexius' disappearance was being told.

"My son says that Alexius has disappeared...?

To King Walius, who was stunned as though his soul had escaped, the soldier who had brought the reward answered briefly, "My pleasure".

"There is no doubt that His Highness Alexius intends to return from the city of L'Oma to the king's capital with only a few offerings. But with His Excellency Baron Cantobias, who pursued it, we have no idea what happened."

And the voices were leaked from among the hosts that were in the midst of the sight. Among them are even those who rush to shut their mouths, saying, "No way have they been hidden by the clouds".

"Wasn't it in the hands of rebel slaves?

If a rebel slave catches you, good and captive. Not surprisingly, if it was bad, it would have been killed on the spot.

But rather King Walius asked with a plea that he should be.

But the commander's answer was, it didn't.

"I don't know. But if that's the case, the rebel slaves will necessarily hustle about it and shake it over here. But so far we have not received any such news"

All that. The commander tells the Count Mutos, lord of the city of L'Oma, without confirmation, that he may have descended on the Son of Destruction.

And the hosts and the chief ministers that lived in it were in heaven.

"Your Majesty! If that is true, so too has most of the western part of the Holmeer kingdom fallen into the hands of the Son of Destruction"

"If you have broken down that 'black wall' and rained down all the western marquises, let the threat extend to all the country! We must take action as soon as possible."

Cutting it off, the Hordes and the ministers began to argue violently with one of the country's priorities.

In it, only King Walius was hissed by the great defeat and disappearance of his son, whom he trusted, and sat on the throne like he was dead.

There comes a single conductor rushing in.

"It's important, it's important, Your Grace!

To that voice, King Walius, who finally regained me, shouts like eight hits.

"Something more important!

Suddenly the commanding officer flinches unexpectedly at the king's reprimand, but he is nevertheless driven by the importance of the reward he carries, raising his voice.

"It's important!

To that voice, the princes and the chief ministers also stop arguing and pay attention to the commanding soldiers.

When King Walius rose from the throne, he poked the king tin in his hand at the conductor and asked him.

"Yep! What the hell is so important to you!

"It's in the Romanian country!

To that answer, before King Walius, who frowned more than anything, the commanding soldier took one big breath, and said:

"The armies of the Romanian nation have successfully crossed the Rabian River and invaded the country!

Wang Tin spilled out of King Walius's hand.

The loud sound of Wang Tin falling to the floor.

It was a prelude to the collapse of Holmeer, the great power in the western region.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The story goes back a few days.

"The time has come," said King Cesar, who heard reports that a crusader led by Alexius had marched to the crossing, guiding King Dordea and the Romanian army was the land opposite the shore across the Rabbian River from the land known as Rapley in the Holmeer country.

It is a memorable place for the Romanian nation, where four generations ago the Romanian king succeeded in crossing the river by ambush, and for the Holmeer country. That is why the protection on the part of the Holmeer State was also strong, building a small but complete fortification for each central state divided by tributaries joining the Rabian River.

"Well, Lord Cesar. What do you want to do now?

It was King Dordea who asked so. Though King Cesar had told me that the time was ripe, he had not been taught any specific measures to enter the Holmeer kingdom.

"Now, for the sake of the great King Dordea, let's see this I bridge the river"

Besides, King Dordea and the Romanian army generals who were around him were astonished.

From now on, all of a sudden, we're going to bridge this river with nothing. Some even resent what such a lengthy thing is.

But he did not care for such critical eyes, and King Cesar lifted his right hand sassy.

Then one of the soldiers of Balgibor unleashes an arrow toward the still dawning blue sky. The fire arrow flew like a meteor retroactive (retroactive) to heaven, pulling the tail of the firepowder.

Along with it, the rest of the soldiers rushed to a single tree that was growing on the banks of the river. And as I pull the rope that was tied to the tree to my power by a few people, it is pulled up as the rope that was sinking in the river beforehand drifts. And a rope that was tied to a similar tree across the shore was pinned over a rippling river surface. From that rope, where the water falls, a sturdy net (Ami) hangs, like a giant curtain, across the Rabbian River.

"King Dordea. Take a good look."

As humans from the Romanian country, including King Dordea, sipped and watched what was going to happen, several rafts appeared in the light of the Pay Dawn (two gigs) from upstream of the river. The raft increases in number as it sees, and at last becomes the number that fills the entire river width.

The rafts were caught in a net strewn one river after another before the Dordea kings watched. Then the men on board connect the rafts to each other with the thick chains they had on the raft. In addition, a long pile of trees is punched into the bottom of the river, where the raft is tied and secured.

In the meantime, a large floating bridge floating in the Great River was completed.

King Cesar giggles at the stunned Dordeans.

"First let me prove my safety across. Lend us all a thousand of Your Majesty's soldiers, fearfully."

"Ugh, um. - Who am I to cross the river with King Cesar?"

To King Cesar's request, King Dordea lent one of his generals along with a thousand soldiers.

"Well, shall we come?"

King Cesar, who spoke to the General in an effortless manner as if he were going for a walk around it, led the soldiers of Balgibor and began to cross the bridge.

Then the Romanian general also crosses the frightening bridge.

The floating bridge was not frightened by the fact that some shaking connected the rafts of certain things together in thick chains, and was fixed by piles punched into the bottom of the river.

But just because you could cross the river, that's not the end of it.

Across the shore is a fort built to prepare the Romanian nation for its crossing. I didn't know when the Holmea soldiers would come out from there to intercept themselves.

If it is raided while crossing the river, it is not an accumulation. Especially if they burn the bridge they're crossing, they'll drop it all over the Great River with a thousand soldiers.

But somehow the fort remains silent when it comes to crossing the river with such grandeur.

Quite surprisingly crossing the bridge, King Cesar continues his horse to the fort in such an easygoing manner that he is likely to sing out even in his nose, still in the back of an anxious general as to where the Holmea soldiers will come from again.

Finally, he arrived in front of the fort without a single raid from the Holmea soldiers.

Closer, the fortifications that are at the forefront during the small but Romanian raids are also thick in walls, and their protection is strong to see.

It won't be easy to take this down.

With that in mind, the Romanian general asks King Cesar.

"King Cesar. What do you want to do now?

"Here's what we're gonna do."

When King Cesar made the ring with his index finger and thumb, he scissored it with his lips and sounded a loud finger whistle.

Then the gate of the fort, which had been shut tightly, began to open with a sound.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The army of the Romanian state lands.

Rudolphus, an officer of the National Army who had been forced to move left from the failure of Marben Copper Mountain to Rapley, was informed of it on the way around.

In addition to running the commanding officer who immediately informed the Wang capital of his impatience, he himself led a small gesture and drove his horse to discuss the Romanian National Army, which had just crossed the river.

Even if the enemy doesn't like it, if the first line hits where they just crossed the river, they should be able to buy time even if they can't drop the bridge. At any rate, we must arrive before the enemy's main unit crosses the river.

It was Rudolphus who ran horses and soldiers with such impatience, but the soldiers who stood in front of him appear.

It was Rudolphus who thought he was an enemy early, but if you look closely, his soldiers' gear belonged to the Holmeer country. In addition, I noticed a flag stood among those soldiers that looked familiar.

"What are you doing, Kafner! Hurry up and beat the Romanian army!

It is the Kafner flag of a colleague who was forced to move left into this rap with Rudolphus. Kafner appeared from among the soldiers in the voice of Rudolphus.

"Sorry, Rudolphus. We can't let them do that."

For a moment, Rudolphus didn't know what they were saying.

But as he understands the meaning of the word, Rudolphus' face is frightened.

"No way, you...?!"

Besides, Kafner made a smile and showed it.

"Yes! As far as Holmeer is concerned, I'm going to be a Romanian!

But that is what forced me to smile at the frigid expression. The shape of the lifted lips is snoring, and the eyesight sticks as if it were even cramping. That was a smile that looked like a crying face somewhere.

"Stupid! A knight who has sworn allegiance to Holmea, yet betrays, and more importantly, falls back to Romanian!

To Rudolphus's curse, Kafner exalts.

"Which one of us betrayed you first!

Kafner opened his blood-running eyes and shouted as if to spit out more and more black mud.

"We did everything we could! Isn't that right, Rudolphus! Yet Walius just unilaterally reprimanded us and humiliated us in front of the Horsemen, and flew us to such a remote place! It's hard for a guy of such short notice to make a slight mistake and insult us, just to say he was born royally, just to tease us over our loyalty! Can you stand this!

Rudolphus also stuffed his words with the cursing curse of Kafner.

"Rudolphus! You too, get down to Romanian! Never make it worse!

Rudolphus' feelings also swayed at Kafner's words. Nor is he at all dissatisfied with King Walius' punishment again. If you say that you have never resented King Walius, that would be a lie.

But Rudolphus stood still.

"I am the Knight of the Holmeer Nation! We can't go down to Romanian haters!

We've known each other quite a long time. I could have expected Rudolphus to say that.

So Kafner asks:

"So if it's not Romanian, how about it?

"What do you mean...?

To Rudolphus, who asks so, Kafner tells a certain name.

And Rudolphus peeled his eyes off.

"No way, that woman put an anti-flag on His Majesty...!

"What do you say, Rudolphus?! You go down too?

To Kafner's inquiry, Rudolphus returns to me.

"Ko, say no! In any case, it does not turn into treason against His Majesty! I'm not gonna be a traitor!

"Then it's at least a pity for my friends! I'll take your neck myself!

Saying so, Kafner went down from his horse, pulled out his sword, and came forward one. Correspondingly, Rudolphus also pulls out his sword and leaves forward as he descends from the horse again.

"You Walius dog!

"The traitor!

The two start cursing each other and meeting their swords.

Rudolphus, who prevailed in the skill of the sword, and Kafner, who prevailed in youth and power, seemed to antagonize. But soon the advantages and disadvantages become apparent.

Rudolphus' leg wound protecting Kafner from the Zug raid was still unhealed when he pursued Dwarf from Copper Mountain. Every time I step in with that foot, Rudolphus's sword dulls as the wound complains of pain. And I finally got that blunt sword slapped down by Kafner.

"Just say it again. Come down with me, Rudolphus!

But Rudolphus spits on Kafner.

"Don't let pigs who don't know loyalty speak people's language! I can't help being forced to move left! You helped pigs like this without knowing it!

"Never."

Kafner, who shrugged, flew Rudolphus' neck with a wave of horizontal giraffes. Kafner, who pulled the tail of his blood and flew through the universe, picking up Rudolphus' neck, which fell to the ground, lifts it high.

"We've got Warius' dog!

So declared the victory, Kafner sticks a sword wet in blood at the remaining Rudolphus soldiers.

"Surrender quietly! Or I'll kill you all!

Rudolphus' soldiers had been looking at each other's faces for some time. But now that our own captain has been killed, there's nothing we can do. First, when one threw a weapon, one after the other the soldiers threw down the weapon and surrendered.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"I finally set foot on the land of the Holmeer Country"

King Dordea, who crossed the floating bridge following King Cesar and the General, murmured emotionally.

It took me over thirty years to get here. In the meantime, we have lost tens of thousands of soldiers and several generals, as well as important friends.

With that in mind, all I could say was that it felt innumerable.

Then King Cesar and his predecessors greeted King Dordea, who boarded the fort. And he is a fat man lying flat at his feet.

King Dordea first makes a praiseworthy statement to the General that he was "great".

"No, everything is only possible if there is any difference between King Cesar, who is here"

In fact, the fort opened without having to fight, and the Holmea soldiers who were inside had also abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Speaking of what the general did, to the extent that he checked the fort for ambushes.

"Lord Cesar. You have no words of gratitude."

To King Dordea's words, King Cesar shakes his neck small and sideways that it is no big deal.

"Let this also be a gift of King Dordea's virtue. - Besides, I just brokered it. All with the dedication of this Lord Jen."

That being said, what King Cesar showed was a fat man crawling like a bug in his footsteps and plain clothes.

And when he saw the man, king Dordea smiled full of scorn. But when you can pull it right in, you speak graciously.

"Get your face up. We are more allied than this. You don't have to wear plain clothes."

To the words of its king Dordea, the fat man raised his fearful face.

King Dordea called the name of a man with a snarling grin, shaking his fat cheek with tap-taps.

"Isn't that right? Lord Vritas."

It was Vritas Sadma Holmeanis, brother of King Walius, who was once lord of the city of Bornis.
