鉄の悪魔どもを平らげん = let's eat up the iron devils.
This is an archaic expression,
though sometimes the word of "ない"
meaning "negative" can change to "ん"
especially, in a daily conversation between friends.
e.g.)
それ、いらんでしょ。 / それはいらないでしょう。
= I don't think it is necessary. / I doubt if it would be useful.
Maybe you will have a question how to distinguish the 2 types.
(We, native people, can unconsciously do so...)
In details,
(archaic expression)食べるも地獄、残すも地獄。
→(current expression) 食べるのも地獄、残すのも地獄。
(archaic expression)我ら
→(current expression in order of formal form)
われわれ > わたしたち > ぼくたち(male's word) > おれたち(male's word)
(archaic expression)恐れぬ
→(current expression)恐れない
"修羅" and "ども" also create such a mood.
(というか、上の例文は標準語として変??
ではないですよね?? > ネイティブのみなさん
「行く」→「行かん」とかだと、方言かなぁ、と思ったり。
「いらない」→「いらん」、、、ん~。。。)
