Hakai No Miko Volume 1 Chapter 41 (1/2)
Late at night, inside the forest located far upstreaures of zoan can be found h the forest, reach a nuht hundred
Their breakdoas as follows: 150 people of the Fang Clan, 400 people of the Claw Clan, 50 people of the Eyes Clan and 300 people of the Mane Clan
This mass of zoan that by all means should be called the Four Clan Alliance is led by Ferocious Fang fagul Garguss Gara the zoan of the Solbiant Plains
The approximately nine hundred zoan that were led by this black-furred zoan lined up and began to cross the river one after the other after a shallow area was discovered in the river
When barely around four hundred of them had crossed over, an unforeseen accident occurred
A stone that was being used as a foothold by a young warrior as he was crossing the shoal suddenly crumbled That warrior lost his balance and fell into the river
Surprised by the pronounced sound of splashi+ng water, the zoan drew their machetes all at once
Due to the air of tension, all of the zoan were shaken It was as if their fur were tingling fro on? Is it the enemy!? Where? Where is the ene a yell full of joy, as if he were breaking that tense air apart, is a red-furred giant — Zurgu Zurgu ju warrior while raising a sheet of spray
The zoan were uniforu, who surveyed the surroundings while creating an eyeshade with a hand as all eyes are filed upon hi that there's no ene!”
And then he abruptly lowered his eyes at the young warrior who looks up at him in a daze with his buttocks still in the river
“What are you doing?”
“Eh? No, that is…”
Zurgu gestured towards the young warrior that beca
“I see Even an idiot like you is in front of a great battle that the zoan have never experienced before Thatfiercely? Well, e body into the river He causes a great spray of water that cannot be co warrior before The water falls upon the zoan around hiu, who got his entire body dripping wet, returned to his post in the rear with a hearty laugh
Snickers spontaneously spill out between the zoan due to his appearance
Even thein the river forside the phrase 「Hold on」 a hand is held out to his to Gara》!?”
The surprised young warrior straightens his back and stands raht, as if sohtly strained s warrior
“Don't let your body get cold Dry yourself properly later”
Gara to the shrill and nervous reply of the young warrior, says to Gulkaka who had waited for hi so about in equal parts of ad shoulder to shoulder with Garam, responds,
“If you acted like that, ould be troubled, clan chief That's kind of like a beast that'sby instincts”
However, Garahtly Look, because of what he did just now, everyone's ed”
An attack on the stone city located outside the plains is an unprecedented battle for the zoan Not only that young warrior, all the warriors were more or less nervous
It's fine if the tension were at an to think they were straining theu had acted
It was the usual conduct of that crazy Zurgu, but it's a fact that the warriors have loosened up a bit because of that They were a bit too nervous Even Gulkaka can't help but to admit that fact
“I can't believe that to be 《Mad Claw》 We've all looked down on hi, I doubted that guy's sanity when he suggested to work under you, clan chief”
Gara that he still can't believe it
That was soo at the conference venue for the city's attack
“I won't allow for us to commit the same mistake as the all-clan alliance that suffered that crushi+ng defeat on the plains against the hus that exist between the clans and unify into one”
Right after the conference had started, Zurgu broached such topic
It was only natural for everyone as present at that place to think 「You're the one saying that!?」
Zurgu had been the one to thwart each all-clan alliance talk up until that point
The one who bit into Zurgu's proposal as the very first was Shye Soma is incapable!?”
“That's not what I 》”
Zurgu denied the accusation in a hurry
“I don't have any objection in obeying Sir Soma either But! Someone who leads the warriors and responds to the constantly shi+fting state of a battle on an actual battlefield, is indispensable There's no way that we can simply rely on Sir Soma for this, is there?”
As expected, even Shye in Zurgu's words
Even now there areSou in qualities as a warrior The reason that the warriors are even going along so because he has the support of the zoan heroes, Zurgu and Gara the two heroes, if one were to ask whether such warriors would meekly obey Souma's orders in a state where blood has rushed to their heads on the battlefield, they would be cogesting to lead in those cases then?”
He's likely going to say that we should hand over the right of command to him, anyways, Shyemul thinks as she adds an iu expressed a bitter sry and said,
“I believe 《Ferocious Fang》 fagul Garguss Garaood choice”
That was truly a bombshell announcement
The zoan that happened to be present at the venue were all equally unable to believe their ears Looking at the reaction of those right next to the and were surprised anew
Probably upset by theu became sulky and said in discontent,
“My reputation is the worst, just as you can see right now Having said that, Banuka, who isn't even a clan chief, and the warriors of the Eye Clan are inadequate for the post”
Even the warrior leader of the Eye Clan and Banuka couldn't help agreeing to this
“In that case, there's only 《Ferocious Fang》 left If it's the hero 《Ferocious Fang》 who's obtained est warrior on the plains froht?”
Being praised by Zurgu who faced him with open hostility until just the other day, Gara that doesn't sit ith hi Clan The warriors of the other clans will likely oppose obeying hter of the Beast God, 《noble Fang》, the better choice here?”
However, that's iu
“That's not correct, 《Ferocious Fang》 Certainly, it wouldn't technically be wrong to go with 《noble Fang》 But, what one can rely on most on a battlefield that puts one between life and death is their own ability When push comes to shove, the warriors will folloarrior that is superior to theu ell of what Gara whether us, the warriors of the Claw Clan, ere hostile to the Fang Clan until noill obey the Fang Clan, it's a needless anxiety We definitely know that 《Ferocious Fang》 is a great warrior mainly because we opposed him If it's an excellent warrior, on't have any co theed the se colored hair, who has until then been intently watching the proceeding's developaze
That zoan introduced herself with a shrill and nervous voice
“I-I'a Bunuka shi+shul I'irl I love just like a little sister Place her at your side as an assistant If you do, even u was equal to saying that he will hand over his cherished fae
“I were often told of your esteeuss Garam! I believe it to be a very happy occasion to be allowed to fight under you!”
shi+shul pressed both fists against each other and koards Gara after they had gone this far would instead crush the honor of Zurgu and shi+shul Receiving the support by everyone present, Gararand clan chief ill co the happenings of that tiu's wild behaviour so far was for the sake of irritating us”
Even while sensing that there's a danger to the existence of the zoan, the other clans, including the Fang Clan, continued to adhere to a fighting style that satisfied the pride of the conservative warriors
Frou, who tried to protect his clan to the point of even adopting the hu a wall around the village, to the extent where he was slandered as not even being like a zoan, such an adherence to the old ways
“I see That means it was our side that was foolish”
Gulkaka answered calmly
Once Garam lowered his voice so that it couldn't be heard by the surroundings, he said quietly but charged with a strong will,
“Convey it to our clanmates Frootten And also tell them, those, who seeiven by this 《Ferocious Fang》, okay?”
Gulkaka nodded to that without even a moment's hesitation
Once everybody crossed the river uneventfully after that, the zoan advanced through the forest again while being vigilant of their surroundings And then, a short tiuard reached the borders of the forest
“《Ferocious Fang》 , e advance a bit further?”
Being asked by a warrior as in the vanguard, Garam lines up next to that soldier
“Can you see the city?”
Upon hearing Garaaps between the trees and pointed at a lone fire burning atop the pitch black horizon
“Yes, I think that's the city”
“It will be bad if we get too close Around here will be fine”
Saying that, Garam stares at the eastern sky
“There's still tiht meal so that it won't slon your bodies and rest up”
Once that order is circulated, the zoan sit down on the spot and eat dried le zoan runs up to Gara as he checks the state of the warriors
“《Ferocious Fang》, isn't there anything else I should do?”
The one who asked Gara in anticipation was shi+shul
Garam, as overpowered by her pure eyes, spontaneously asks for help frolance But Gulkaka unnaturally said「Well then I guess I will go and check the situation of our friends over there?」, turned his back on Gara repeatedly due to not being able to hold back his laughter on the verge of leaving Gara other than Gulkaka enjoying his chief's baffled state
“No… umm… brace yourself from now on and work properly at the critical ht for a whole day as long as you order me to!”
Pressured by the spirit of shi+shul who fervently appeals to him with her fists clenched, Garahly honored as hero a such ad zoan
However, if it's a Clan, there's no one who adly since it's not a relationshi+p where they don't know each other Also, the youngsters of the other clans had their own clanhtforith Gara hit head-on with such genuine yearning was a first for Garam It made him rack his brains on how to deal with shi+shul
“F-Fight when it's tiht, rest when it's time to rest This is the duty of a warrior”
“I see! Got it! This shi+shul will rest with all her power!”
