I am the Monarch

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

Gulp.

The collar moves roughly.

No. Three. ’

Roan lowers himself close to the stump.

Ugh.

The wind blows through the bushes.

Glug. Glug.

The sound of the Goblin's Cry is getting closer.

Ugh.

Roan slowly pulls out the dagger.

An old dagger with crooked teeth.

But it was still enough to play my role.

Bloop.

Sound from the ground up.

Now!

Blame!

Roan quickly turns around in a wooden stump.

Immediately, I saw a Goblin in front of me.

Glug!

He stumbled upon Roan's sudden appearance.

Roan quickly hugged the Goblin without missing an opportunity.

Pusuk.

The dagger is in his chest.

Zur.

A Goblin that grows restless.

Glug! Glug!

The Goblins in the background are furious with the death of their allies.

They came running ahead of a shameful tackle.

Su-wook.

Roan pulls out the dagger in his chest and throws the Goblin in his arms.

Wudang Tang.

Goblins can't escape, but they tangle and roll the floor.

Excellent opportunity.

Roan hurls his spear at you.

Pu-sook! Pu-sook!

The head of a Goblin is cut in quick succession.

Zur.

You dealt with three Goblins in no time.

Nonetheless, Roan's expression was not good.

‘It's a mess. ’

My palms are sore.

I tried to peel my skin off twice.

Moreover, it does not exert any power in the window.

‘You're such a baby. ’

Roan smiles bitterly and picks up Goblin spirits.

“I'm sorry, but I need to take your necks. ”

Simultaneous hand movement.

Screaming.

The Goblin's head rolls.

Roan tied their coarse, dirty hair together and held it in his hands.

Tsk, tsk.

Green blood flows from the cut side.

At that time, the bush on the ridge was shaken roughly.

Mmm!

The breeze is intact.

It's them!

If it weren't for the wind, there was only one reason why the bush would shake roughly.

Goblins are coming down to find their colleagues.

Roan hurries out of the canyon.

Glug! Glug!

You hear the angry sounds of the Goblins behind you.

But it's not enough for them to come after themselves.

He has already left the canyon and entered the open plain.

I see an army of roses from afar.

Roan shakes the head of the Goblin in his hand.

“Goblin! Goblin ambush! ”

Screaming loudly, but no one listens.

It was still too far away.

* * *

Mason, who was now waiting for Roan to return, frowned as he saw Roan protruding out of the valley.

“What's wrong with him? ”

I think he's screaming something, but it's hard to hear.

“What's that in your hand? ”

It looks like watermelon.

“Maybe they found some in the woods. ”

Next to him, another guide intervened in a flustered voice.

Mason glances at Roan once and looks at him with an absurd look.

However, as Roan gets closer, Mason's expression hardens sharply.

It was because I heard a vague scream gradually.

“Goblins! Goblins! ”

By that time, I realized that what I was holding in my hand was not watermelon, but a Goblin's head.

The guides, including Mason, looked at each other in a bewildered look.

"A real Goblin? ’

Mason, in particular, was a few times more surprised than others.

"Monsters in our Ale!" I've never done that before! ’

He shakes his head with his eyes wide open.

This is not the time.

He rushes toward the troops that follow.

“Goblins! ”

A loud shout.

Dawson, who's been watching Gail, cries out for help.

“What?! Is that real?”

“It's true! Look over there! ”

Mason points his finger at the canyon.

Everyone's gaze moves.

Roan sprints in with his hair.

And a blurry voice.

“Goblin. Goblin ambush. ”

Gail's eyes narrow.

“That's the Goblin's head in his hand. ”

His right hand reaches for the sky.

“Unit halted. Into battle formation.”

Immediately, the nearby deputies shouted loudly, gripping their hands.

“Squad halt! All hands to battle stations! ”

“To battle formation! ”

The deputies steer their horses and head to their command.

Gail stares at the canyon with calm eyes, despite all the commotion.

“Dawson.”

“Yes!”

Dawson, who was staying next to me, was cold.

Gail points fingers at Roan.

“Bring me that soldier. I need to hear the story.”

“Yes!”

Dawson winks at Mason after a cold answer.

“Yes! I'll get him! ”

Mason replies nervously and takes a step back.

‘Dammit. Am I the only one to blame? ’

There's an uneasy glow on his face.

I mocked and laughed at the guy who was going to go out on a search.

I was confident that there were no monsters.

"Goblins!"

However, the one who scoffed and laughed at me showed up with the head of the Buzzetti Goblin.

Mason bit his lower lip.

‘Make sure you don't say anything unnecessary. ’

You take a small step forward toward Roan.

* * *

‘Huff. Huff. Ugh.'

Roan was literally dying.

In case the rosebushes jump into the canyon with all their might, their breasts burst.

I wanted to sit comfortably and take a breath since I told you about the Goblin ambush, but unfortunately I couldn't afford it.

“Commander Gail is looking for you. ”

Mason grabbed Roan's wrist.

After a short breath, Roan is dragged to Gale.

Mason then whispered in a small voice.

“Forget what I said before. I actually thought there was a good chance of an ambush. That's why I'm responsible for sending you to the canyon. Right? ”

Roan has neither the thought nor the strength to resist.

Mason gets warmer as Roan doesn't react.

“Do you hear me? Huh? Answer me. ”

“Phew. Got it. ”

He takes a deep breath and nods.

Then Mason's mouth shut.

The two quickly make their way to the front of Gail.

“Oh! Welcome! ”

Dawson's making more fuss than he needs to.

Roan looks down on Gail, ignoring her lightly.

“What was in the canyon? ”

The whole point of pulling it out.

“This is the Goblin Squad. ”

“What number?”

“It's at least 1,000 for the ridge I entered. If you think about deploying troops on the other side of the canyon when you're on an ambush, it's over 2,000 in total. ”

“Hmm.”

Dawson's face frowns.

There are 800 soldiers in the Rose Army.

This is less than half of the Goblin Squad.

“Are you sure?”

“I'm sure.”

Roan grudgingly replies.

I have already experienced it in my past life, so there is no doubt about it.

“Hmm. Trouble. ”

Gail shakes her head.

It was a head number, but it was also a problem with their ambush location.

Goblin troops are already occupying both ridges.

Herpes are very disadvantageous for attacking themselves under mountains.

Dawson intervened.

“Why don't you take a detour around the canyon and head straight for the Plain of Pedian?" It will take a couple of days, but we can avoid unnecessary fighting. ”

The goal of the Rose Army is to gather in the Plain and defeat monsters in the Plain with other troops.

You don't have to deal with Goblin troops stuck in the mountains.

At that time, Roan, who was listening silently, cried out in surprise.

“You can't do that! ”

In his mind, I remembered the terrible past.
