I am the Monarch

------------------------------------

It's been 20 years, but I remember it brilliantly.

"All the new recruits, except me and Fields, are dead. ’

Not only that, Oliver, who just lost his eye and is frowning in the face of his acolyte, also loses his life.

‘I was attacked by Goblins near Eil. ’

Narrowing canyons.

There were ambushes.

The rosebud army moves cautiously and is hit on the brink of extinction.

What do we do? ’

Go to the commander right now and tell him about the Goblin ambush?

"Good thing it's not Beijing. ’

I can't listen to a rookie soldier who has no grounds.

No, there's no way I'm meeting you in the first place.

Should we talk to Captain Thane? ’

It is not greedy either.

He is not so friendly in memory.

Do we have to watch the troops be destroyed at this rate? ’

I can't do that.

I didn't want to ruin this life.

At that moment, Roan's expression brightened.

‘Ah! There it was. ’

The tail of the mouth rises gently.

He stared at Thane eagerly, as if waiting for something.

“Oh! And……. ”

Thane, who was unpacking, yelled out with a slow thought.

“Is there anyone bright in the Ale geography? People who have lived or lived in the area for a long time. ”

This is it!

Roan takes a step forward and raises his right hand.

“I'm aware of that. ”

“You?”

Thane frowns.

"The one Pete was beating up. ’

Pete may be violent, but he's not violent for no reason.

Then he had a problem with this guy.

‘I feel uneasy.’

The role of a guide is quite important.

If I do wrong, I can force the entire unit to the limbs.

“Do you really know the area of Ale? ”

“Yes, I'm aware of that. You can go from Castle Elin to the town of Ale with your eyes closed. ”

“Hmm.”

Thane frowns and looks at Roan.

‘Cause that's for Deputy Dawson to decide. ’

Concerns don't last long.

He wasn't like that at first.

“Great. What's your name? ”

“I'm Roan.”

“You need to pack your things and come with me now. ”

Thane then looks at the subcommander Rander.

“Lander. When you're ready, take the kids to the barracks. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Randall nods, smiling as if to tell him not to worry.

Thane taps the chest of the lander and leaves the barracks.

Roan hurries after him.

As you exit the barracks, the familiar smell tingles the tip of your nose.

‘The smell of battlefield. No, the smell of death. ’

Iron, fireworks, horses, sweat, man, and blood.

Smells like a mix of different things.

I've smelled it for the last 20 years.

It smelled nasty, but somehow it relaxed my mind.

‘The better it smells, the closer it gets to death. ’

Roan shakes his head with a bitter smile.

Then Thane who was walking one step ahead asked bluntly.

“Where are you from? ”

“From a small mountain village on the banks of the Grains. ”

“The Grain Mountains... Rough place.”

Thane urged his feet to taste again.

"Does the guy from the Gran Mountains know this part of Eile well? ’

Somehow I feel deceived.

‘Well, I'm not the one getting kicked out. ’

Thane glances forward, smiling deeply.

An immaculate-looking middle-aged man was looking at a bunch of documents.

“Deputy Dawson. ”

Thane bows his head as he approaches.

A middle-aged man, Dawson was tasked with choosing a guide as one of the five deputies of the Rose Corps.

‘You've already picked quite a few. ’

Thane's gaze is on Dawson's side.

I saw guides from the other squads.

There are already more than ten of them.

“Oh, Thane. ”

Dawson smiles brightly and greets you with a jaw.

Thane pulls back to his side and points to Roan.

“Our squad knows the Ale area well. ”

“Really?"

Dawson looks back at Roan.

“I've never seen him before. Are you new?”

“Yes, he came in yesterday. ”

“He's so hot. ”

Dawson glances up and down at Roan with a bloody smile.

“You know the Ale area well? ”

“Yes.”

Roan answered without hesitation.

‘Only twenty battles have been fought in the Ale region. Twenty times.’

Thanks to this, the whole area was as clear as snow.

Dawson nods in response.

“Let me ask you a simple question. What are the specialties of Ale? ”

It's not a difficult question.

“Barley.”

“And what is the largest village in the Ale region? ”

“Of course it's Eil. This is in the order of the village of Rivan, the village of Moss, the village of Forest. ”

An unbroken answer.

‘Where all the fighting took place. ’

Roan smiled deeply.

Dawson nods in surprise.

“Even in Eil and Riven, I didn't know you knew about the Forest Village. You've lived in this area a long time. Perfect guide. Just.”

Roan doesn't talk about his origins.

That's not the point.

‘Find the Goblin ambush one step ahead. ’

His gaze is directed toward the guides who are stretched out beside him.

‘These guys couldn't do their job right, so a lot of people died. ’

Of course, I know why they didn't find the Goblins.

Monsters do not appear here from Castle Elin to Eil.

So these guys never thought the Goblins would show up on the move.

‘I'll stop him this time. ’

Roan bites his lower lip.

“Here, take this. Take care not to lose it. ”

Thane gives you a sack of spears.

Roan nods and gives strength to the grip of the prostitute.

Knng.

It feels solid and heavy.

‘I'm uncomfortable.’

My palms were too soft and smooth.

All the glorious wounds and calluses I had spent 20 years on the battlefield disappeared.

‘It really starts all over again. ’

I have a bitter smile on my mouth.

“I'll be going now. ”

Thane bows to Dawson and sets out for the Marine Corps.

Roan takes a deep breath as he looks away from him.

“Don't be so scared. ”

Seeing that, the soldier next to me tapped his shoulder.

The misconception that he was frightened when he saw him breathing.

“This kind of subjugation is no big deal. Last year I... ”

He's been rambling on about his tale for a while.

‘I've had 20 years of stories, too. ’

Stories that never end when you start laying them down.

Then Dawson covered the pile of paperwork.

“This should be enough for the guides. Mason, you have the most experience, so lead the rest of the guides. ”

The soldier who was chattering nonstop nodded, smiling.

“Very well! Leave it to me! ”

Flurry of answers.

Not at all believable.

‘That's why I was attacked by Goblins. ’

Roan frowns.

‘We can't let the Rosebushes be destroyed. ’

In his past life, a rosebush was attacked by Goblins and was about to be annihilated.

Thanks to this, the soldiers who survived, including Roan, were scattered and joined other troops. This was the problem.

‘Stacking the ball will be taken away from the others. ’

Embedded stones do not tolerate rolling stones.

Soldiers who were originally part of the base blatantly ignored Roan and lost him.

It was not uncommon to steal the ball.

Thanks to this, I was blamed for catching quite a lot of monsters and moving around carelessly.

‘I can't live like that until this life. ’

Knng.

The Pokémon's grip tightens.

“Here we go! We're going to the Marine Corps. ”

Mason's big voice.

He takes a step forward.

After that, Roan takes a deep breath.

‘Here we go. ’

The moment a new life begins in earnest.

Heart beats fast.

Ugh.

The wind blows over the fortress, and the smell of the battlefield is picked up.
