Hakai No Miko Chapter 133 (1/2)
After a e commotion erupted
“The city is outside the plains!”
“Why do we zoan have to leave the plains to fight a battle?!”
Several zoan raised objections, which is only understandable
The zoan's world consists of the plains itself Being suddenly told to leave that world, there's no way for theo” For the a fish to walk ashore
“I can't think of attacking the city as anything but an act of sheer madness”
“Indeed! We are the rulers of the plains So a stone city is reckless!”
Also, even the zoan were easily capable of i how difficult it would be to attack a city Even though they couldn't capture even a single fortress until now, an act like capturing a city, where farabout a drea human forces, Souma would also choose to meet them in the plains If it's these vast plains, it wouldn't be difficult for the zoan to defeat military forces that are even several ti as the zoan exhaust their ene on their innate mobility
But, even so, for Souma there was a reason that they must leave the plains
“But, if you seclude yourselves in the plains, the zoan will get annihilated sooner or later!” (Souma)
Even if they would be able to ward off human troops in the plains once or twice, it's impossible for that to continue permanently The humans are no fools either Without fail they will come up with a plan on how to deal with that, and then the zoan will likely be defeated before long
These plains are surrounded byleft out While these mountains serve as a natural barrier to fend off the invasions of other powers, they also isolate the plains fro like a lucrative industry in the plains, there would also be the option of preserving their strength and nurturing that industry But, the reality is that the only ones in the plains besides the zoan are the pioneering villages
The more time passes, the more the difference between the power of the zoan, ould hide in the plains that are an isolated area cut off fro in the outside world, would keep growing
At any rate, learning of the world outside, there won't be any future for the zoan unless they expand towards that world
With the fire ambush and the capture of the fortress, the die had been already cast They had to act as soon as possible
“You have no other choice but to stop secluding yourselves in such confined plains and set out into the vast world!” (Souma)
The majority of the zoan present were unable to follow Sou They were unable to even understand what he was telling theible, there were also so froer zoan, such as Shyemul and Gara due to their youthfulness, they sensed the change of an era, even if they couldn't co Souma said
And, there was also one person in that camp as quite unforeseen
“… Pfft! Wahaha… kakaka…!”
All of a sudden sohter
Once everyone shi+fted their attention in that direction, they found Zurgu who apologized by raising a hand slightly while resisting the urge to laugh
“Er, excuse hter, Zurgu leaned his upper body forhile still in a sitting posture and asked Sou si new
“Brat, are you seriously telling us to attack the city?” (Zurgu)
“Yes If we don't do so, the zoan will be destroyed” (Souma)
“There also will be a turn for us, the Claw Clan, to attack the city… right?” (Zurgu)
Once Souht eye, which hadn't been crushed, narrowed into soht knee with a loud slapping sound
“Interesting! How very interesting, brat!” (Zurgu)
Without even trying to suppress it this tihter
Due to the unbelievably disgraceful behaviour frou, who had kept his silence until now, the other zoan including his clanu would be delighted if he could go on a rae, Souma warned him in a hurry,
“But, the major premise is that you listen to what I say!” (Souma)
“Aye, I see In that case I will entrust you with this” (Zurgu)
What Zurgu took out of his bag after saying that was a necklace created fros of animals on a thread
There was a world of difference in itscompared to the one he had received from Geeta and Shyepoently polished jewels are con carved into it What especially attracted one's notice are the two huge fangs located in the centre It's unknown from which kind of animal those came, but beautiful patterns had been draith dyes on the surfaces of the huge fangs that are sier
“Clan Chief! That is…!”
Zurgu's expression changed due to this and he firmly declared to his clanmate who tried to stop hiu)
“This is…?” (Souu, but he has to ask Shyemul behind hi
Shyemul stared at the necklace in Souma's hand with an expression of sheer disbelief
“That is the Necklace of Victory Prayers which is worn by the chief of the Claw Clan during battle However, to entrust that to you…!? There's no way!” (Shyemul)
“W-What's this about?” (Souitated , Souma, who had noticed that this isn't just a simple necklace, becomes anxious
“The person ears this will have the same military authority as the clan chief! In other words, it's the right to order the warriors of the Claw Clan It's not so to be entrusted to another unless there's a state of eo on!!” (Shyeu had prepared
For the Fang Clan that had lost many warriors due to the frequent battles with the huling sou intended to get his share of territory with it
But, because that was equal to yielding to another clan, Zurgu couldn't play that trump card easily Until now he had silently watched the situation's development
“I have already su the Claw Clan, to this area” (Zurgu)
“Zurgu! You bastard, surely you didn't!?” (Garam)
“Don't misunderstand, Garau hurriedly stops the enraged Gara even the soldiers nearby, I will now entrust all the four hundred warriors of the Claw Clan to you, brat…no, Soma Please use them as you see fit Of course, I' both his fists on the sheeting, Zurgu bowed his head All the zoan present were surprised by his offer
This was totally unexpected for Zurgu as infaance
Shunpa placed a hand on her cheek and had a troubled expression while saying an「Oh my」 Banuka slapped his own cheeks And Garau
“Please raise your head, Zurgu That saves me trouble It's my side that has to wonder how I iving in to his fury, but as a matter of fact he had been worried whether his words had truly reached the zoan For that reason Souu that he believed in him and would entrust his warriors to hi with you” (Sou and deeply bowed his head towards Zurgu
However, there was someone who didn't feel too happy about that deeply e》 We, the Fang Clan, are falling behind!” (Shyemul)
“Aye…” (Garaer sister, Garam hurriedly turns around to Sou their fists on the sheeting in the sa Clan, will obey you, Soma” (Garam)
“Thank you, Gara her arms and looked as if she were satisfied due to that Then she looks at Banuka of the Mane Clan, who haven't announced their stance yet
“Sir Banuka, ill you do?”
“Y-Yes, oh estee called out by Shyehtens his spine with moistened eyes
“Naturally, we, the Mane Clan, will abide to So to be imprudent”
Due to that, his clanmates around him remonstrated Banuka in a panic
