Hakai no Miko

The battle against the Son of Destruction begins.

Unquenchable anxiety and just a few fears. And Piata, who puts her breasts to much greater expectations and burning fighting spirit than that, was slowly moving forward on the battlefield, holding back her beloved horse, who was (ah) still trying to rush out into her excitement.

The enemy is still far away. In order to minimize horse fatigue, it is only after entering the range of enemy bows and arrows and stone throwing that you can make them run at all costs.

But the patience, too, is a little more. We're just a few minutes away from getting into enemy range.

Before the time finally came, Piata raised her voice.

"O brave men of the Hundreds of Wolves!

With the incorporation of the Ethereal Cavalry, Piata slaps inside her hot breasts toward her unit, which has changed its official name from the Baihua Squad until then to the Hundred Wolves, alias.

"I've ever let you hang out with my selfishness, and I'm sorry! Selfish princess surroundings. Then Princess Horse's playmate. There are many disdains against you brave men, and you will be exposed to My disdain and ridiculed. Now -"

Piata raised the spear in her hand high.

"At this time today, with this occasion, we will strike them off! Now is the time to show our strength! And the enemy will wreak havoc on all the western realm, the son of destruction! No shortage for them!

Piata grinned contentedly at the hundred werewolf braves who responded to this with a voice similar to the anger.

Then face the enemy directly in front with a sharp bladed look on his face.

Finally, the enemy's range.

Piata puts a light kick in the side of her beloved horse and screams.

"Come on, let's go! Brave men! This makes us the pioneers of a new knight's age!

"The time when the Son of Destruction was present was also an innovative time in military history"

Within the ancient Corderato Church in the West Side, it is Professor Martin S. Ackerson, the leader in Son of Destruction research, who says so.

"Eldore, who was the first multi-racial nation in this world, required a transformation in the race and manner of fighting because of the diversity of its soldiers. Son of Destruction, Soma Kisaki, created unprecedented soldier species, such as Black Elf Bow Cavalry and Harpuran Scouts, one after the other, and came up with new ways to fight them again.

At this time, the battle was dominated by heavy infantry with strong shields and long spears hitting each other from the front. In it, the diverse military races and the new ways of fighting with them will no doubt have become a powerful weapon for the Son of Destruction.

But at the same time, the military innovations that ended up in Eldor spilled over into hostile countries, triggering further innovations. "

Professor Martin S. Ackerson shows an old mural painted all over the church wall behind him.

"This mural -" Battle of Mirza "- found under a lacquer painted on a wall that is not even part of the church's repair work, speaks silently to us today about many of those ancient western events.

First, if you look at the faction of the Son of Destruction, you will be amazed at the diversity of its soldiers. As can be seen in the heritage, the figure of soldiers of the six races, with the exception of Marman, who took part in this battle, is painted in bright colours.

By contrast, if you look at the Romanian state side, you can see that the majority of the soldiers were painted in the same shape, and as of this time, they were only troops of the human species based around the common heavy-duty infantry. - But. "

Professor Martin S. Ackerson pointed to the corner of the mural.

"Only this General Piata and the troops known as the Hundred Wolves, which she is said to have led, are within the Romanian National Army and are of a different colour.

That is not only the rare use of cavalry as a force at the time. In this mural, the Hundred Wolves are represented by three rows of cavalry, but the problem is how to hold the spears of these second row knights. Other Romanian National Army knights painted in the mural, spears like this - "

Professor Martin S. Ackerson raised his right hand wide.

"- I have it to shake it up. This was because he used to throw spears or stick enemy soldiers from the top while on horses.

This was a common use at the time.

The reason for this is simple. It was not yet popular at this time, as it is a must-have item for horseback riding in modern times.

In an era when the X. was not prevalent, when knights rode horses, they rode by trying to tighten up the horse's torso with their feet.

But then you can only use upper body force to shake the weapon because your lower body will be fixed, and you can lose balance because your foot is not stomped again.

Sit in a chair with both feet floating around to try it out, and even a long stick will tell. Pulled by the centrifugal force of the swinging stick, if you do poorly, you flip every chair.

Not to mention if you wield a weapon heavy enough to overthrow an enemy soldier in armor with all your might, you don't have to say how it turns out.

But the knights in the second row of these Hundreds of Wolves are obviously holding a spear longer than the others by their sides to secure the spear like this.

Even more noteworthy is the shape of the shield this knight holds.

These knights have kite-shaped shields that narrow as the top rounds down. This would be the idea that when you set up a shield while riding, you could defend it with a shield not only to the upper body but also to the thighs that span (and) lean on the horse. In the circular or square shields that were mainstream at the time, if you tried to defend yourself to the thighs, the body of the horse you were crossing would get in the way.

The shield envisaged for use on this horse and how to hold the spear so that it is held and secured on the side of the small.

From these things, an attack that this cavalry would have taken is - "

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

He said, "Why don't you come in?

To Harpuran's words, who flew in saying it was an emergency from the Ethereal Horse's place, Dvarin said to Oomu in return.

Besides, when Harpuan shows affirmation, Dvarin wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"Isn't it natural, for example, for enemies to penetrate"

I wouldn't put it in my mouth, but Doverlyn was inside and squeaked like that.

Then Doverlyn, once again, sees the enemy in the front.

Then, the enemy pushed a lightly dressed cavalry up front and slowly approached us. Seeing as heavy cavalry continues from behind it, it's probably a common method of warfare, with heavy infantry coming down from a horse slashing where they messed up this line with an attack by a light cavalry throwing spear.

And what else is there to warn you about?

To Dvarin, who is so surprised, says Zoan's warrior, who was accompanying the Dwarf heavy-duty infantry to interpret Zoan's drum transmission.

"The Palace of the Earth. His Majesty said, 'The enemy is storming. Pay attention,' the transmission is coming with a strong drum."

Furthermore, Dvarin was puzzled.

I don't see why you would draw attention to an enemy assault like so many Ethereal Horses were so impatient. But since the Ethereal Horse is so cautious, I guess there is something. Anyway, Dvarin tells his soldiers to watch out for enemy assaults. But the soldiers' dwarves still didn't seem to understand the intentions of the Ethereal Horse either.

While we're doing that, the enemy at the front is approaching.

"Front row, raise your voice and strike the shield and the spear! Threaten the horses! The back row is ready to throw stones! Wait for my order!

In response to Dvarin's instructions, the Dwarves raised their voices and began to sound their shields and spears.

Towards these Dwarves, the Hundred Wolves led by Piata are approaching with their horseshoes blown.

At this time the cavalry of the Hundred Wolves was divided into three main parts.

The first is a light cavalry called the Golden Wolf Soldier, led by Piata herself. Both humans and horses wear only minimal protective gear because Golden Wolf soldiers are a soldier with an emphasis on speed.

Its main weapon is a short spear for throwing spears. There are four or five short spears in the cylinder lowered from the saddle, which you throw on the horse's momentum. He also possesses a sword as a melee. This sword is a lightweight thin blade curved knife with the opposite rather than the common straight sword in this day and age. This was a sword that was meant to slash enemies with a horse rather than stop them and poke them from above.

Piata, who runs ahead of that golden wolf soldier, screams at the Dwarf heavy-duty infantry who lays the horizontal line as it stands.

"Throw! Aim at the center of the enemy horizontal formation! - Do it!!"

Along with the decree, Piata also throws spears with her right arm again.

On the throwing spear of the Golden Wolf soldiers, the Dwarves took a defensive stance with their shields high. There goes the Golden Wolf soldier's throwing spear making a noise and descending.

Most spears are bounced by shields and fall to the ground. But the power of a throwing spear with horse momentum is powerful. Several throwing spears also penetrated Dwarf's tough shields, killing the Dwarves beneath them.

"Transfer!!"

Without seeing the results, Piata herself pulled the reins and changed the direction of the horse's head.

Doverin screams before enemy horseback riding split left and right.

"Catapult, do it!

Together with the decree of Dvarin, the rear stone throwing unit, which was waiting full, began throwing stones at last. One stone after another is thrown at the Golden Wolf soldier who runs exposed to the defenseless side by the transfer. But much of the stone thrown, assuming the average horseback riding in this western realm, only fell vain after the Golden Wolf soldier's run through. Still, whether luck was on Dwarf's side or whether bad luck was possessed by the Golden Wolf soldiers, a horse in the last row fell horseback with a direct hit of stone.

Doverlin leaks a tongue at this.

He said it was a stone throw since he drew it all the way to the critical, but the effect was only one horse. That's also because the enemy's horseback riding legs are faster than expected.

But not if you regret it now.

"Lower your wounded men! The enemy's heavy infantry will be here any minute!

Doverlyn looks at the enemy in the front, sidelined by soldiers who try to move their dobby and short legs at their own direction to rebuild the horizontal line.

What followed the earlier light cavalry was that heavy cavalry that the Ethereal Horse stunned.

A knight with a long spear and a sturdy kite-shaped shield that can't even be handled on horseback or even on the ground in what appears to be robust armor of sheet metal. The horse is forced to wear iron on the horse surface and even protective equipment with iron pieces chained together.

Doverine doesn't know, but it was a cavalry called Silver Wolf Soldier led by Demetria, Piata's deputy.

This is bullshit.

Dvarin intuited. I don't know what that is, but being a war-torn warrior, he believes in his intuition and moves into action.

"Stone Throwing Squad! Move to attack now! Don't lay back the horizontal line!

Along with Dvarin's instructions, a back-line stone-throwing unit rushed to begin throwing stones in pieces.

But the Silver Wolf defends it with a shield to the front.

Some of the thrown stones hit the silver werewolf and horse directly, but the silver werewolf sheet metal protective gear started it off and the horse was only excited back even if the stone hit the horse surface.

A voice of agitation rises from the Dwarves in the front row at the figure of a silver werewolf who does not take stone throwing as a toss.

"Holy shit. Those guys!"

"Dude. What do you mean...?

The momentum of the enemy's heavy cavalry does not diminish.

Normally, heavy cavalry is what goes down from the horse in front of the enemy in order to avoid being targeted for defenselessness coming down from the horse. But the heavy cavalry, which is now relative, never tries to loosen their horse's legs.

All that or the triangular formation, culminating in a cavalry draping braided silver hair from beneath its helmet, adds even more momentum and rushes toward us.

"What if they...?!"

"Don't you think they're gonna stick every horse in here like this?

"That's what happened...!

When I realized the possibility, a war broke through between the Dwarves.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Whether western or western, the cavalry has long been a flower-shaped soldier on the battlefield in the history of the earth. Also, in a creation depicting the battle of the Middle Ages from antiquity, the development of warlords on horses kicking infantry must be one big showcase.

Even in films, dramas, comics and cartoons depicting Japan's warring age, the development of horseback riding assaults by horseback martial artists on enemy lines can heat the chest.

But was there actually an assault by such a cavalry?

That is an occasionally lifting argument in talking about the battles of the Japanese warring nations.

The deniers of horseback assault then often raise the size of the horse at the time as a basis.

The first thing modern Japanese think of when they hear of horses would be Sarabred. But Salabred is a breed improved horse over the years. In contrast, the Japanese horses of the Warring States were only about the size of a pony in modern times, and such small horses could not run with a very good armored warrior on them, the deniers argue.

Also as a basis for demonstrating the correctness of that claim, along with the statement in the book of the Jesuit missionary Lewis Floyce, who was visiting Japan at the time: "Between us (Western Europe) we fight on horses (above) and the Japanese descend from horses when we fight", "Our horses are extremely beautiful. Japanese horses are far inferior to that" description is raised.

In addition, when one television show actually let a warrior-era average sized horse run with someone wearing an armored foot, the horse said that people could only run fast enough.

In fact, if you look at the footage, there's no brave horseback rider we can think of, but a funny (sneaky) little horse running fast with Tokotoko.

On these grounds, the deniers assume that there was no riding assault by horseback martial artists like the creation.

But the TV show is a big stitch to the needle bar for one shocking fact.

If you do see scrolls, screens, etc. depicting the battle, some paintings show armored horseback riders descending from horseback riding in front of their enemies. There is no doubt that the armored warrior went down the horse in front of the enemy and fought as an infantry, as it shows.

But at the same time, it also depicts a samurai riding on horseback into the enemy formation.

There are also many other records of Tokugawa Jiayang directing him to "build a horse fence because the Takeda army will storm him on horseback," prior to the Battle of Nagashiro, and of the famous equestrian artist who will storm him while tapping a drum in Lord Nobunaga, suggesting (said to be) that a horseback assault was actually taking place.

Nor are horses of the time, said to be pony sized, smaller than one hundred twenty centimetres tall, commonly found on ranches that have become modern tourist destinations. Though classified as ponies weighing no more than one hundred forty-seven centimetres, Kiso horses, native Japanese breeds, have a height of one hundred and thirty-five centimetres and are slightly larger breeds than we think ponies are.

And if you look at the record of a horse ridden by a warlord named after him in the era of the Yuanping match, he's over a hundred and forty centimeters across the house.

This is no lesser size than Mongolian Mongolian horses swept across the Eurasian continent on horseback.

Furthermore, Kiso horses and others mentioned earlier were fat around their legs, disappointing horses, and could not be great for sarabreds such as climbing mountains with heavy baggage on their backs.

It cannot be said from this that there was no horse riding assault simply because of the size of the horse at the time.

So there was actually a horseback assault? Or did the armored warrior go down from his horse and fight?

The answer was "Both were there".

Not on either side. Depending on the circumstances, the horseman fighters sometimes disembarked and fought as heavily armed infantry, and sometimes slashed into enemy formations while riding.

However, there was no doubt that there was no horseback riding squad composed solely of horseback riding, as is commonly seen in creations.

However, that was due to the few horses in Japan at the time, or the difficulty of using the horse's mobility in organizing horseback riding squads in Japan, where there were many mountainous areas. The size of a horse is never the only factor.

For this reason, horseback assaults by several horseback riders from a single horseback were considered sufficient.

Yet Ethereal Horse, neither a historical researcher nor a military expert, had believed in the biased knowledge of television and magazines that horseback assaults could not be carried out on small horses.

And even after being dropped on this continent of Cerdeas, that didn't change.

The reality of the continent of Cerdeas, where horseback assaults have not taken place, with small horses no different from warring Japanese horses and heavy cavalry carrying only heavily loaded infantry.

To this, the Ethereal Horse thought that horseback riding was impossible because the horse was small.

Furthermore, it is significant that there were no imminent circumstances in which heavy cavalry had to be formed on the Ethereal Horse.

It was the Dwarves who were in charge of the heavily armed infantry of the Ethereal Horse before the conquest of the Holmeer Nation. This breed of short body was difficult to ride on horses because of its shape. There were also Zoan, who walked like a horse, and the Ethereal Horse did not need a heavy cavalry.

As a result, Aoima quickly abandoned the formation of the heavy cavalry.

I still can't do it on a small horse.

My knowledge of modern Japan was right.

The Ethereal Horse decided it was impossible by the knowledge in him, and stopped on the spot. That's all or even the impossible and the countermeasures were neglected.

It was an overconfidence of the Ethereal Horse in his own knowledge.

It was a blind faith in modern knowledge.

Indeed, if we compare the knowledge of modern Japan with that of the Continent of Cerdeas, the knowledge of modern Japan far prevails in many respects. Because the history that has accumulated is different. The amount of information is different. It's only natural to be overwhelmed.

But this is a different world.

Not the planet of the past.

Whether to follow a similar course of history, it was not exactly the same. Some things are on Earth and not on the continent of Cerdeas, and vice versa, some things are not on Earth but on the continent of Cerdeas.

It is, for example, a dragon rider.

Dragon riding, which travels with two legs with humans on board, has long been used for the riding of generals and conductors in western waters with few horses. But unlike horses riding on their backs, which are relatively stable between their front and rear legs, dragon-riding must ride just above the two legs that kick the earth. Naturally, in such a position, the rider was directly impacted when the dragon cavalry kicked the earth, with a great risk of falling. Running dragon riders were difficult riding animals just to keep riding.

But by the presence of this hard to ride dragon rider, there was something developed.

It is a saddle.

In ancient Earth, the saddle was only one piece of leather cloth. However, in the ancient continent of Cerdeas it was already used with a cloth on the back of the horse and a solid saddle made of leather or wood on top of it.

Moreover, it is not simply a saddle in shape to suit the body of a horse.

An indentation was created to calm the glutes (dendrites) according to the shape of the knight, increasing the stability of the ride.

Also, the rear of the saddle - the rear bridge - was raised high and structured to support the back from the rider's glutes as if it were the back of a chair, preventing it from falling backwards. In addition, the front of the saddle - the front bridge - was struck with a vertically standing plate, which not only prevented it from falling forward, but also served as a guard against the knight's lower abdomen and diameter.

The structure of this saddle, which was born approximately in the eleventh to twelfth centuries on Earth, was already developed at this time by the presence of a dragon cavalry on the continent of Cerdeas.

And a giant horse that King Dordea deliberately took from the South for Piata. An ideal breed as a military horse that is comparable in size to modern Japanese salad, yet has thick, rough limbs like a cargo horse and is resistant to coarse foods.

None of these could have existed on the ancient planet.

When the Ethereal Horse brought to this world, and Piata added the knowledge of the other world that he had taught from General Darius' legacy, a new soldier species was born that had never existed on this continent of Cerdeas. What Ethereal Horse judged impossible based on his knowledge came true.

The figure of a silver werewolf storming the sounds of a groundhoe and riding side by side without a thread of disturbance was still a groundstone stream or tsunami made of man-made horses.

The dwarves who saw it were also erased of their servile audacity, and their fearful bodies fall back without my knowledge.

Demetria shouts as she turns her horse's head there, finding the lateral dust that could have done so.

"Shout!!"

Fearing for himself to storm, Demetria set her aim and pointed her spear tip at Dwarf, who tried to flee with her back to this side.

At the next moment, a much heavier and more intense impact is transmitted from the long spear.

Suddenly, Demetria's body is about to be taken behind her by the shock of being devoured with a stick that she's held onto.

But his body was saddled, and his body was supported.

And the propulsion of the horse in the spear causes the spear to jump up with the dwarf pierced, losing its escape. Dwarf's tiny body is thrust up by Demetria's spear as she sprinkles blood, floating in the universe. The surrounding Dwarves looked up to their dismayed faces at the siblings who let the cry of the severed demon slip away.

The Silver Wolf Soldier led by Demetria - that is, this heavy-duty spear assault cavalry - was the backlash against the Ethereal Horse in this world, taking the form of Piata.

Early in the war, the Dwarf Heavy Infantry Corps on the left wing of the Eldor Nation collapsed.
