I am the Monarch

< Chapter 2 First Battle >

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

There's only one woman that Roan has ever loved in his life.

She was Glenn's sister Celine.

‘I came to find the body when Glenn died in an ambush by a Goblin army. ’

A little girl of 17 years old.

Her brother's death was unbearable.

‘At first, I was just trying to soothe her because I felt sorry for her. ’

Suddenly we became in love with each other.

Have you met him in, like, a decade? ’

When I was in my late 20s, I thought about getting married.

‘But we broke up. ’

The cause lies with Roan.

‘I couldn't leave the battlefield. ’

Age in the late 20s.

It was too early to give up the dream of becoming a general.

Moreover, Phil, who has just been appointed general of a new unit, extends his hand to join us in the battle.

I thought it was my last chance.

"Don't go," she said, "end of mask." Gekko battlefield. ’

It took me just three years to get back.

When she came back, she was already a woman of another man.

‘I've been living like a madman ever since. ’

I fought the battlefield like a madman.

Thanks to this, a general soldier who had not served for 13 years went up to the squad leader in just 2 years.

Of course, that was the limit.

‘I've missed my dead brother all my life. ’

Thank goodness.

Glenn's not dead.

She won't be sad anymore.

‘But this way I won't be able to meet her.......’

Somehow it tastes bitter in my mouth.

I thought I'd forgotten it all, but then I suddenly realized I can't get rid of it easily.

‘Maybe it's better that way. ’

Even if I meet her again and love her, I will leave her alone again.

In this life, you have a bigger dream than ever.

“The battle must be over. ”

You hear Glenn's voice.

Roan looks around the battlefield, throwing aside his thoughts.

A few Goblins are still wreaking havoc, but the battle is definitely over.

“Squad alignment! Troops aligned!”

The deputies shout loudly.

The battle in the east is over, but the west is still to come.

Goblins pouring out of the mountains on the other side.

‘Well, the commander's dead, so you'll be collapsing soon. ’

The Rose Army will triumph with ease.

After a while, the battle ended with the victory of the Rose Army, as Roan expected.

Time to line up with the body repair and treatment of the wounded.

“These rookies are amazing! ”

“I know. Did you say Roan and Fields? You guys did a great job. ”

The 13th squad is in chaos.

Roan and Fields praise you for your outstanding service throughout the battle.

Though rough-hearted, Pete slaps Roan on the back.

Puck!

“You bastard! I saw it all again! Hahaha!”

“Hehe.”

Roan frowns and bends his back.

“Hmmm. Did you hit him too hard? ”

Pete scratches his cheek, smiling awkwardly.

Roan nods, raising his hand as if it were okay.

Then Thane came.

“A spear cut off the head of a Goblin master. Did you learn that at the training center? ”

I had never seen a spear before.

In Thane's question, the 13th squad and the 12th and 14th squads stopped listening.

Roan shakes his head slowly.

“No. I learned it from an unknown master because of my connection. ”

“The Anonymous Master? They say the world is vast and strong like sand. ”

Thane reaffirmed his appetite and looked Roan straight in the eyes.

“Anyway, I got a big major this time, and I saved the lives of my comrades, so I'll skip ahead, but next time..."

“There's nothing to skip. ”

You hear a sudden cold voice.

Thane and Roan turn their heads to look at the protagonist of the voice.

“Deputy Dawson. ”

Thane bows.

Dawson frowns.

“Roan.”

“Yes.”

“It is a grave offense to deviate from the line of battle. ”

Cold voice.

In fact, Dawson didn't feel good about what happened before the battle.

You're throwing up on your deputy? ’

Thanks to you, you're the only one who's stupid to Gail.

“Despite Mason's permission, it is a felony to deviate from the march. ”

“I'm sorry."

Roan bows.

He could see why Dawson was out like this.

‘Your pride must be broken. ’

At this time, I had to keep quiet.

No, actually, it only makes the other person feel worse.

Dawson continued.

“Commander Gail has been generous, but I cannot just forgive him in my view of managing real soldiers. ”

You notice the tense look on the faces of the 13th squad soldiers who were watching the situation.

“Considering the ball found in the canyon ambush and the ball slashed by the Goblin Longevity Ball, which was originally in his 50s, he ordered 5 months of sealing and a month of further training. ”

“Yes, I'll do as I'm told. ”

Roan bows.

Dawson glances at Roan for a moment, then rides back to his original position.

Pete stares at Roan as Dawson moves away.

“What accident did you have in front of you, that you cut the head of a Goblin Longevity and not pay for it? ”

Roan smiles instead of answering.

Thane saw the look on his face and intervened.

“Did you not hear what Deputy Dawson said? I've been out of line twice. ”

Pete shakes his head with a look that he cannot understand.

“No, that was a good enough reason....... By the way, were you the one who discovered the Goblins lurking in the canyons? ”

“Yes.”

Roan nods slowly.

The 13th Battalion looks surprised again.

“This is a very good thing. Stuff.”

“Yeah. If it wasn't for this guy, we'd all be dead." ”

“You were a lifesaver! ”

Bustling atmosphere.

The soldiers of the 13th squad deliberately tried to raise the air for Ronan, who had been punished for raising the ball.

But Roan didn't mind being punished.

‘I don't have to spend any money anyway. ’

In fact, it's not a big deal to make a lot of money if you just want to.

I remember all the big events that will happen in the next 20 years.

Among them were Manasik mines, gold and silver mines, as well as the discovery of lost treasures.

‘When you need it later, you can make it mine one step ahead. ’

From now on, you don't need to get caught up in money in haste.

The bees that require additional training for a month were the ones that Roan wanted to ask for.

‘Physical strength, strength and grip skin and movement. It's all a mess. ’

Literally child's level.

I needed training.

However, there is a very limited amount of time for personal training in group life.

In that situation, Dawson thankfully ordered additional training.

‘Since you gave me time to train myself, this is not a punishment, it's a prize. ’

Roan smiles.

Then I heard the deputies' voices again.

“Squad alignment! Troops aligned!”

The soldiers who were resting spread out and relaxing stood up slowly and took up their positions.

Roan also hears a familiar voice behind him, trying to take his place at the end of the 13th squad.

“Roan. You need to go on a tour. ”

The protagonist is Mason.

Roan stares at Thane without hesitating.

“Goodbye. ”

Thane shakes his hand lightly.

Roan bows his head and takes a step.

Standing in front of the line, you see the faces of Gail, Dawson and other deputies.

‘It's cold.’

Dawson's eyes were still cold.

All of the soldiers in charge of the tour have gathered, and the rosebushes begin marching again.

Jubbuck. Jubbuck. Jubbuck.

The sound of footsteps echoing the ground.

The guides, including Roan and Mason, first enter the Eile Canyon.

The canyon, which was originally dense to the forest, became dense due to the fireworks.

‘This place used to be crawling with corpses. ’

A terrible sight.

But in this life, it's different.

‘I just took my first step. ’

Roan bites his lower lip.

‘The future is more important. ’

The moment of choice will keep coming.

Each time, you have to make the best choice that is different from your past life.

But fortunately, the first choice wasn't so bad.

Now, behind Roan is an army of roses that were supposed to be exterminated.
