Hakai No Miko Chapter 149 (1/2)

Having received the official appointment to suppress the slave revolt that took place in Bolnis by Hol, Darius left the castle and directly headed towards the national areneral entrusted with this garrison was naturally surprised Even if you say that the tere generals of equal rank, the other party was a forrand marshal, albeit a retired one Darius was an opponent he cannot hold a candle to in regards to career, nor pedigree or age He jumped out in surprise, put on his formal mantle to at least show off in soreet the other party Alas, Darius only said ”I'arrison with a sidelong glance at the general

Noticing that his destination were the barracks where the coeneral tries to detain him in a hurry, but Darius chases him aith the brief comment ”Do not interfere”

Darius opened the door that had begun falling apart and entered the barracks

“Is Bolgus here!?”

The voice of Darius reverberated inside the barracks, which had simple beds lined up in a cramped manner

The soldiers are startled due to Darius' sudden visit A rey and an unshaven face steps forward It's a rough looking man that would fit the appearance of a stereotypical bandit boss, if this weren't the barracks of the national arether the common soldiers that served under Darius in the past

“Hey there, Your Excellency the Grand Marshal What are you doing in this kind of pigsty?”

The reactions a the soldiers inside the barracks were split twofold The relatively young soldiers, who never even considered the possibility of a high ranking noble general visiting their barracks that's recognised by thee dump, were frozen in place with surprised looks However, the veterans, who have the experience of fighting under Darius in the past, are hooting and hollering things like「We're pigs!?」 and 「A pigsty is still better than this duood to see that you are the same as usual”

“Excuse me for that then, Your Excellency the General Well, the ones called hue that quickly”

“There's no mistake in that”

Darius loosened his expression suddenly as if looking at so dearly missed, but that immediately completely reverts into a stern expression

“You have heard about Bolnis, haven't you?”

“That is, well…”

Guessing what Darius wanted to say with only thatto need us for soanize a punitive force froe of two co noblefrom Darius' manner of speech, it seems like he will for me its commander However, as it's a unit that will carry out such a special mission, it will be easy to obtainFor the noble co for achievements, it's a role they'd desperately like to take upon themselves If that's snatched away by a human that came from some commoners, they won't take too kindly to that

“Don't care There's no need to humor children who e”

“Haa… However, the one's facing their displeasure will definitely be us, don't you think?”

“That's why I' you You can likely handle this naive and retarded treatment”

Since the tieneral, he had appointed this Bolgus to a responsible post one way or another Not only did he value his nerve when it ca noble like Darius, he was tolerant, for which he has been idolized by the common soldiers below him

But what Darius valued above all else is how he evades the harassin, ere jealous of hined to ihness

“Well, you are not wrong about that, I guess — So, what caused you to deliberately come to this place? If it's only that much, it would have been fine to talk with ht?”

“In which case it will be too late There's so that, Darius spreads a map of Holmea's western part he had an attendant hold and spoke about the details of thethat it doesn't h he is able to understand the details

“Hee, I see But, are the zoan that capable? I have never heard about that being the case”

“It doesn't matter even if it's just a fool's errand Then it will just be athees it, there's no objection by Bolgus He lightly bows as if sticking his head out and answers 「Understood」

“I leave the selection of the soldiers under your command to you As for your equipment and supplies, I will explain it to those of military affairs Do as you like”

“That's appreciated”

Bolgus turned around to the soldiers who attentively listened to their conversation, and said in a loud voice,

“You heard hiive victory to the forrand marshal, who only has a few years left to him, to decorate his last perfor cheers that came from the soldiers

◆◇◆◇◆

Drum sounds reverberate in the plains located east of Bolnis

Matching those, countless roar-like yells could be heard and the earth tre those yells and footsteps are close to 1,000 zoan

And, in a place slightly apart froazed at that spectacle

Garam raises his prided loud voice towards them

“Got it!? If the drums continuously beat in an intense Dododon! Dododon! like just now, it's the signal for charging Next ill play the drums for the standby order!”

shi+shul, who followed behind him, makes the dru Gara zoan suddenly stopped all at once

“This is the signal of standing by — Then, everyone please participate noell!”
