I am the Monarch

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

An extensive barracks commander.

Soldiers who butchered them.

Among them, Thane and Fields' 13th squad.

‘This tension……. ’

Even a simple monster subjugation, tension like a frostbite is always hidden before a march.

Roan liked this tension.

‘Because it makes me feel alive. ’

However, there was a creature that broke this tension.

“So I was in Lorraine last year……. ”

A mythical mason with endless bellbells and whistles.

Roan looks like he doesn't want to hear it, but it didn't work.

“At that time, I avoided the spear thrown by Orcs.... ”

At that time, a group appeared on top of the Marine Corps Master.

“I... can't. Hmmm.”

Mason's mouth is closed.

‘I think I'll live. ’

You catch a faint smile on Roan's face.

The group that stood on the knee-high statue was the commander of the Rose Army, Gail, and his deputies.

I saw Dawson.

Ugh.

One moment of static.

Gail stands on a plateau and stares at the soldiers.

“Our rosebud flees the fortress of Elin and advances through Eil to the Plain of Pedian. ”

“Yes!”

A resounding answer.

Gail's mouth is filled with a happy smile.

‘This is the best troop in the 7th Legion. ’

For the past five years, he has been proud of the frozen rosebud troops.

It's like a parent's feelings for their child.

“Don't you all die. ”

Spit it out like a toss.

That concludes the Commander's speech.

"Yes, Commander Gail cared about his soldiers. ’

He didn't run away even when he was attacked by a Goblin. He threw himself down to save one more soldier.

When the Salvation Army arrived later, Gail's corpse was the one most heavily slaughtered.

‘A man like that should live a long life. ’

Roan's eyes gleam sharply.

Chuck. Chuck.

With Gail and her deputies in the lead, the troops have begun to move.

Roan and the guides follow Mason to the front.

Chuck. Chuck.

The sound of rolling feet sounds chaotic.

“Where were we? Right. In that battle, I... ”

Here we go again.

Mason talks without a moment's rest, forgetting his guide's mission.

"Why me? ’

Lots of other guides.

Then why should I be myself?

Turning around, I could see why.

Suddenly, the other squad guides are walking a long way away.

‘Famous kid. ’

Existing soldiers were already aware of Mason's enormous ability to talk.

Only the new soldier, Roan, didn't know about it and was caught in a snare.

After all, he opens his mouth carefully.

“Shouldn't we take a good look around in case monsters show up?" ”

“And then I grab my wrist and I grab my leg, okay? A monster? ”

Mason looks absurd, chatting excitedly while running away for a long time.

He shakes his head, tapping Roan on the back.

“Hey, new guy. You don't have to worry about that. This part of Ale is a safe zone. A place where monsters don't appear. ”

“But……. ”

“Oh, man. Unlike what he looks like, he's a big coward. ”

Mason kicks his tongue and shakes his head.

Eyes glaring.

But I liked the look in Roan's eyes.

In the meantime, I stopped talking nonstop.

At that time, there was a ridge facing both sides.

‘Rose Canyon. No, Ale Canyon. ’

A small canyon that must pass to get from Elin Castle to Eil Village.

Originally known as Eile Canyon, after the destruction of the rose army, it became known as Rose Canyon in honor of them.

‘There's no such thing as a name change. ’

Roan swallows a dry saliva and tightly grips his brow.

Jubbuck. Jubbuck. Jubbuck.

The guides' footsteps close to the canyon.

‘Now.'

Roan steps forward and calls Mason.

“Mr. Mason. ”

“Huh?"

“The canyon terrain here is unusual. Shouldn't we search it first? ”

“Canyon search? ”

Mason frowns and looks up at Eile Canyon.

Then he kicks his tongue and shakes his head.

“What a coward you are. This is a safe zone? There are no monsters. ”

“But what if there is? ”

“No, never. This place is as safe as it gets in the Kingdom of Rhine. ”

Mason was confident.

I thought no one knew Ale like I did.

‘Cause I'm a local. ’

He turns his head to look at the other guides.

“Hey. New guy here wants to search Eile Canyon. What do you think?”

The guides' expressions distorted at times.

“What? Search? What nonsense. ”

“You're a beginner. Beginner.”

“If you don't know anything, just stand still. ”

Accusations pour in.

However, Roan did not change his face color.

“But we must move through that narrow canyon. If a monster has an ambush, it will be hit hard. ”

“Oh, my gosh! ”

Mason finally screamed.

He points his finger at Roan as if stabbing him in the face.

“Don't be an asshole. It's never gonna happen. ”

But I'm not Roan to back down from here.

He knew what was coming.

“I told him to beat the stone bridge and cross it. If a monster in the canyon……. ”

“Enough.”

Mason raises his hand and hangs up.

Face flushed red.

Gulp.

Roan swallows a dry saliva.

At least he was able to get this far because Mason was not his direct supervisor.

I would never do anything to Thane or Pete.

Mason stares at Roan, and then says in an annoying voice.

“If you want to search so badly, go by yourself. ”

“Is that okay? ”

It is a serious offense to deviate from the ranks.

Mason nods.

“Goodbye. It wouldn't be bad to see what it's like to do something wrong. ”

Spoken like ridicule.

But Roan's face brightens.

“I'll be back, then. ”

He lowers his head coldly and urges you to take a step.

Tadadada!

Invisible bridge.

Roan steps out of line and makes his way to the ridge in Eile Canyon.

Gail, who was in the lead, finds himself leading the troops.

“Who's that soldier running out of line and into the canyon? ”

Dawson looks away and frowns.

“Looks like one of the soldiers on the tour. I'll go check it out.”

“Hmm.”

Gail nods with an uncomfortable expression.

Unauthorized personal action could put the entire unit at risk.

Dawson grabs Gayle and grabs him.

Dagdac. Dagdac.

The hooves sound faster.

“Mason!"

Dawson found Mason.

Mason bows his head as he looks at Roan running away into the canyon.

“Yes, Deputy Dawson. ”

“What's that guy? Why did you break rank? ”

A shooting horse.

Mason scratches his back head with a bitter smile.

“Well, he might have an ambush in the canyon, so why don't you do a search?" ”

“In the canyon? Don't you know this is a safe zone? ”

“I know. But you said there was something.... ”

Mason shakes his head, tasting again.

Dawson frowns and chases after Roan, who is now invisible.

“Dammit. I noticed Commander Gail anyway. Maybe he'll blame you and him later. ”

“Ah! I am unfair! He's so stubborn... ”

“Shut up. You're in charge. We have to take the blame together because we didn't get the kids right. ”

Dawson snaps and turns his horse.

Purr.

You sound like you're teasing the sound of a horse's turret.

Mason frowns at Dawson's farther back.

“Damn. What a crazy rookie. ”

He spits out his thick fin and looks up at the Eile Canyon.

“Where did he go, anyway? ”

At this point, I thought I'd kick one of my shins as soon as I got back.

I don't know if you know what Mason's thinking, but Roan is entering the canyon.

Screw you.

Sharp senses that have been accumulating throughout the battlefield for 20 years are considered dangerous.

‘To live.’

Creepy living throughout the canyon.

Roan clutches at the window while swallowing his dry saliva.

‘All we need now is an act. ’

You don't have to go any deeper at risk.

Spend the right amount of time as if searching the canyon and then return to the base trembling.

‘If there are Goblins in the Canyon, it's over. ’

Roan smiles.

He leans against a large wooden stump.

A cloudless sky.

“Yes, it was such a nice day. ”

Reminds me of my past.

The day the Goblins attacked.

On that day, the sky was blue and blue.

“It's like going on a picnic.... ”

I swallowed what I said while mumbling.

Stab.

The back of the head pulls.

The skin is fluffy and sweaty behind the trunk of the neck.

‘There is something. ’

Clearly, there was nothing in the woods until just now.

But now I feel terrified and popular.

I could hear it in my ears.

Bloop.

Roan's face hardens in an instant.

"Goblin!"

It was definitely a Goblin's cry.

Bloop.

The sound is getting closer.
