Hakai No Miko Volume 1 Chapter 50 (2/2)
And, even while Shyeress
“In the end, it's painful that we can't obtain inforrumbled while unable to quite pinpoint the countermeasures
Souma and the others couldn't even forecast the scale of the punitive force and when it would show up
That's because Sou Hol infor, too Even the h i on the circumstances, they even made use of their truet information about Holmea's aruard unit
However, that didn't work out at all in the end
That's because the prisoners, who believe that they will be soon freed by the punitive force, stubbornly refused to disclose inforence
Due to that attitude of the hu theh torture if they don't fess up, but there was no way that Sou the moral values of the modern world that demands a humane treatment even for prisoners, Sou the ruling of the city from now on
However, even so, all of that will end up as a pointless consideration if they can't repel the punitive force Coree, as expected, even Souma couldn't help but worry whether they shouldn't default to torture
“Currently we don't know the scale of the enemy or when they will come here I think we have no other choice but to wait for the other side's ested this conservative , but some words were returned to Souma from an unexpected newcomer
“If it's the scale of the punitive force, I think they will likely have from around at least four thousand to at maximum six thousand”
The one who said that was Company Co
“What's this about?”
Gara someone fishy
Those ords hurled at hi the initiative to leak crucial arence However, Marchronis deliberatelyfor the basis of the nuave
“Hol Half of these are used as a border guard against the eastern country Ro 10,000 soldiers are comprised of unmovable corps' such as public order units at various places and the capital's royal guard If you deduct these, there's only around four to six thousand soldiers left who can bethat, Marchronis joins the sitting circle in a uys' th at the time when you attacked this city has already been leaked by uard corps If you also add the former slaves to that, it's probably more than one thousand
Since it's necessary to have military forces that exceed the defenders by three ti to take a city with a wall like this, the military forces of the punitive force will have certainly more than four thousand soldiers Even if it's only the national are up that number somehow”
Due to the words of Marchronis, who has reasoned that out logically, everyone listens closely with serious expressions
“Different fro army, the feudal lord's private ar the territories and such It would be a different matter if there was more time available, but this revolt— oops, excuseto other areas will be troublesouys swiftly”
At that point, Marchronis revealed a bitter smile and scratched his hair
“Also, there's another reason why they want to crush you quickly, you know? His Highness Vlitas, a person you guys secured— it's about the feudal lord, but that gentleer brother”
Due to that remark, everyone present stared at Marchronis in surprise, as expected
“The reclamation of the Solbiant Plains has been carried out under the leadershi+p of Holhness had been deployed to this city of Bolnis, which is at the forefront, as feudal lord However, you being able to arrest His Highness the King's younger brother is a slap in the face of the royal fa, he likely wants to subjugate the revolt and free His Highness the King's younger brother as quickly as possible
If you consider it like that, he believes it to be best if he can crush you with just the forces that can besoldiers which will need tiather, I think”
Now that he was told that, Soues his mind
When Souma met with the feudal lord of Bolnis whom had been apprehended by Garaure and they would be able to obtain a high ransoe story froh his own territory had been snatched away But, that means there was such a reason behind it
“Nevertheless, it's indispensable to gather the provisions for several thousand people and to check the equipment of the soldiers Besides, for a city that was protected by such a strong city wall to have fallen, it will probably becoe weapons Only those preparations will take more than one week”
“One week?”
When Souot worried whether a ould be the same as it was in the world where he lived, asks Shyemul with his look, she i from the day of the God of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Beast, Bird and lastly finishi+ng with the day of the God of Humans, there is in total seven days”
The na that it seems to be seven days just like inlike a Sunday, equivalent to a day of rest in modern society, but Sou the preparations for various things, it will take them close to three weeks, no matter how h the city of Luoma from the capital, you know?”
In the current situation where they are unable to even to have a unified order as of yet, three weeks are short, albeit appearing to be long Souain as much time as possible, voiced out a certain idea,
“Is is possible to negotiate with Holer brother e have arrested?”
“That's impossible”
Marchronis declares
“To put it bluntly, His Highness the King's younger brother has a very bad reputation Not only is he incoathered not only human but even female slaves of other races in his private residence in the capital, indulged in banquets that are difficult to even speak about, and neglected ih to make him the feudal lord for this city, which was basically a sort of exile
Even if you were to use His Highness the King's younger brother's life as tool for negotiations, the king would ignore you and attack the city Even if his younger brother got killed due to that, it could just be used as a foranda for the public I think you can say that I would bet everything I own that His Majesty the King would undoubtedly do just that”
Since he has gone this far to otiations involving the king's younger brother
Souional ht in the middle of the circle
The enemy has at the very least more than four thousand soldiers It's i that around, I should ponder aboutthe but this place
Thinking like that, Souma observed a certain point located on the er on his chin and broodsthat the discussion has reached its end with Souan to speak,
“At this point there's no other option but for this this becoe battle”
Garam states his disapproval to that
“However, us zoan are bad at fighting while holing up”
The currently largestSoue battle, the zoan won't be able to use their est point, and they will becoth
“Then you want to plunge into a punitive force that has more than four thousand soldiers?”
Garam was at a loss for words due to this retort of Dvalin
Garam is brave but not an idiot The story, where his own parents suffered a big, crushi+ng defeat after recklessly charging towards Holot calluses on his ears With no more than that, there's no way for hiiving up, Garaht of his shoulders
“Even if I'e battle, ill follow orders”
Due to that Dvalin nodded satisfied
“It looks like ill be able to do various works on the city's gates and walls if we have three weeks Ah yes, we have to also check the provisions and ht?”
In this world the dwarves are not only known for their excelling skills in crafting, but also for their strength in defensive battles atable to exercise his own talents in his field of expertise to his heart's content was concerned, Dvalin felt as if his blood was boiling in excitement
“Soe battle, but what do you think?”
The sound of Dvalin's world feltfor an opinion, but there was no one who interjected with an objection against that That's because all of thee battle
However, Sou that apparently struck all of the attack instead of defending in the city”
