Hakai No Miko Chapter 153 (1/2)

T/N: There are a feords with a different font Those depict words that ritten in katakana by the author, aka not understand by the zoan due to the language barrier

Shyemul, who stood at the , can hear the dru in the distance if she strains her ears The e』, 『Failure』, 『Enemy』 and 『Trap』

“The attack failed The enemy set up a trap”

Upon those words Souma, as behind her, had his breath taken away

“…! So I was right after all Are Garau fine!?”

“Calm down, Soma I can't hear the dru told so by Shyenals are 『Retreat』, 『Loss』, 『10』, 『4』 and 『Conal that heavily e failed In that case, it probably , but were able to retreat And it would be co: 『10』, 『4』, 『Coh they were able to withdraw, they lost fourteen brethren”

Shyemul makes an effort to describe the content depicted by the drurits his teeth due to the naivety of his own planning while feeling as if he's getting repri missed the enemy's trap

Once the drum sounds continue even further, Shyemul doubted her own ears

It's not only Shyemul either The zoan present all stand up at once with a serious look, drew near theand strained their ears

For the sake of reliably conveying inals are always repeated a second tinal should be played again

In the end the sanal resounded once nalled by that drum sound almost unconsciously

“The enemy is the Black Beast”

“Black Beast…?”

Shyemul, who ca of her words, let out a great breath as if she were spitting out the rage in her heart and then responds to Souained her co hoisted by the enemy who in the past defeated the All-Clan Alliance in the plains”

Instead of Souma, who still doesn't coed

“Is it a flag that depicts the side profile of a gold-threaded lion on black underground?”

“Lion? You are right if you are talking about a beast growing hair on its head, but…”

Due to Shyereat shock and staggered towards the ground

“T-That flag is the flag of General Darius…!”

“General Darius? Do you know hies to answer Souma

“There's no way for eneral But, no way…for His Excellency to personally…!?”

It's highly unlikely for anyone living in Holmea to not know about General Darius Even Marchronis wielded his spear on countless occasions under General Darius in the past

However, he didn't expect for General Darius hi aside if it was a battle with their arch-enemy Romania, if it's at the level of a rebellion within the country, he should be reco co on in years Of course, calling hi officers accumulate experience in actual battles, but Marchronis was under the impression that even this time would certainly be the same

“General Darius…”

Soueneral he finally learned as if he were thoroughly chewing on it

“What kind of person is he?”

“He's a person who leads battles in a steady and securedown on his opponents, he corners the other party by taking reliable ame board That's the kind of person he is”

That's a troublesome opponent Especially in this time's case, where we have few numbers while the ene use of the eneence However, since he's skilled enough to have seen through our surprise attack and countered it by laying a trap, I can't feel any kind of conceit or negligence from him, just like Marchronis said

Sou at his wits' end, so that he can take as ht now

“Contact Gara to the punitive force and to return with the rest as fast as possible!”

Even if ht be only a few, they will be cautious of an attack if they see any zoan That should lower the pace of their march And, while it buys h solution during that respite Receiving his order, a warrior leaves to play the drues Marchronis to leave the room and secretly orders a zoan warrior to strictly monitor his actions Because of Marchronis's look when he heard the name of General Darius, it's a necessary step so that he won't do anything this late in the gaitated in a similar manner, Souma, who felt it necessary to also confirm the condition of the other zoan, told Shyeo to check the state of everyone who's outside the city”

The zoan live in the wild plains, so they naturally dislike a crowded environment Because of this, they stayed in the plains outside of the city walls except for the warriors that were necessary for o together”

Souo together with Souo by yourself, Shyes if I'm there”

Shyemul hesitated to act separately from Souma, but even she understood that it wasn't a situation where she could say so reluctant over the matter, she calls out to the nearby Shahata

“Shahata, sorry, but I entrust Soma's protection to you”

“Please leave it to hter”

Once Shahata consented readily, Shye Shyes his head

It's the worst situation

Sou out on the table Froe until Bolnis where they are, there was apparently no other place to stage a surprise attack He pondered whether to carry out a night raid at their cahly unlikely for an opponent, who saw through the surprise attack this time, to be unable to predict that kind of attack at this point

However, he was absolutely sure that they wouldn't be able to win in a siege battle or in the open field

“What should I do? What's the best option here?”

However, there's no way for a decent plan to pop up in his mind that easily now after all that happened

Should I propose abandoning the city and retreating to the plains?

Such an idea coap measure Due to his oardice that hts of escape, Sou both of his cheeks

However, he ended up hitting hi his spirit, he feels as if he sees stars in front of his eyes

At that instant Souht! There's that as well, isn't there?”

What ca that was used by a protagonist that was sua and light novel he read in modern japan

If he can actually implement it, he will literally bloay their current predicament

It was an idea that had that much of a potential to turn around the hopeless situation

In a fluster Shahata chases after Souma who is about to fly out of the room

“Sir Soma! Where are you headed to?”

Sou in a quick pace and said the following:

“The blacks to meet Dvalin!”

◆◇◆◇◆

A previously vacant land located in the outskirts of Bolnis had now become the dwarves' blacksmith's workshop In the s screens, the sounds of still red-hot steel being forged resounds throughout as if it could tear apart one's eardru sounds

The one as supervising this smithy was Dvalin Not only is he a first-class warrior, but he's also a crafts entrusted a workshop in his ho to Dvalin's orders, the dwarves devoted themselves to the production of are battle

Sou, discovers Dvalin on the other side of an anvil, stripped of his shi+rt and holding a mallet

“Dvalin, do you have aa shouting coave several orders to the nearby dwarves and went over to Souma

“We won't be able to talk here due to the noise Let's go outside”

Once Dvalin goes outside the smithy, he dumps a wooden bucket of water over his head to cool off While stea water over hi his beard, urged on Sou

“So, what kind of business do you have with me?”

Souma braced himself and asked,

“I'd like you to tell me if you know, but is there a black powder that explodes or burns very strongly once ignited in this world!?”

“What's that supposed to be? A burning black powder, is that so black stones or charcoal?”

Burning black stones is about coal Even in this world, some of the people such as dwarves used coal that was round as an ih it does transforredient for charcoal powders as well, it's so that burns even s”

Dvalin wracked his brain over it for a while, but apologetically answered,

“H like that”

“Not at all! It's better if you don't know about it!”

Sourasped his fists

“As expected, that means there's still no black powder in this world!”

What Souht novel's different world adventure he read was black powder

As everyone knows, black powder is the oldest gunpowder used in history aftercharcoal, sulphur and saltpeter

“With this the Goddess of victory is on our side It will be fine as long as we put black powder to use”

As one uns

However, there should be plenty enough of an effect by si the black powder explode Even in the unpowder, there's no one that wouldn't be shocked by the sound and light of it exploding Much less to say that it will likely be an unknown terror for the humans of this world who don't even know about black powder

The first weapons using black pohich the japanese encountered are said to be 「Thunder Crash Bool invasions of japan It's sorenade that had black powder and plenty of iron scraps crammed into an earthenware container It was thrown at the ene to the records of these times, the cavalry and warriors froze in surprise due to the sounds and smoke after it exploded, and there were also many people who lost their lives to these bombs

‘If I cause explosions within the dense ranks of the heavy spear infantry in the sa chaos
