I am the Monarch

< Chapter 4 Battlefield Ghost >

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

When you live your life, you have a choice that you will regret.

There were many such choices for Roan.

‘So did he. ’

Pretty good looking brown hair with blonde hair.

The guy was fit and agile.

Harrison.

A spearer from the 7th Company of Thorns. He was quite close to Roan.

He joined the battlefield at the age of 18, just like Roan.

I was killed by a blind arrow in the Battle of Dempse. ’

Harrison died just five years before Roan.

He had a dazzling regrets until the day before he died.

< I should have become a archer, not a spearer. >

He enlisted as a spearer and fought as a spearer for ten years.

It was not a skillful skill, but it was not a skillful one.

But the bow that I accidentally shot changed his life.

‘I didn't know archery could be so subtle. ’

No one knew.

Even Harrison didn't know it.

He became squadron leader in just a month.

A year later, I became the Deputy Minister of the Dark Army of the 7th Legion.

He became the best marksman in the seventh platoon in two years.

People raised their thumbs to see his archery talent.

At the same time, I let out the same sound.

< If I had caught a bow at a young age, I would have become the best marksman on the continent. >

It left Harrison with great regrets for himself.

‘I make him the best marksman on the continent. ’

Roan bites his lower lip, recalling an old friend's face.

I wanted to give him a new life opportunity.

‘If he is, he will be a trusted colleague. ’

If you want to be a monarch, you need good comrades and henchmen even if you can't.

Roan can give some insight into who would make a good colleague.

Phil and Harrison, for now? ’

The best talent in spear, the best talent in archery, Harrison.

It's a strong combination of ideas.

‘But I don't want to lose my ability. ’

Roan takes a step toward Chad and the cavalry and grabs both fists.

You can't just live as a spearer of that skill in this life.

"You have to be the strongest. Spears, archery, swords, strategies, tactics are even better. ’

You have memories in your head that can do that.

All you have to do is try.

Intense and persistent effort.

“We're moving!”

Chad howls on the horse.

After that, Roan grips his teeth.

"Monster extermination on the Plain of the Pedian is a fierce battle. ’

The ambush, ambush, reconnaissance, and all sorts of battles continue in a daze.

‘I'm taking a leave of absence from my major. ’

There is no choice but to go to Porter territory.

But you can't just take a leave of absence.

We need to establish a specialty that will stand out to the commanders or generals.

‘Think about when you'll be back. ’

Fortunately, I've made quite an impression on Commander Gail.

While I was thinking like that, I arrived at the Rosebush camp.

Dawson and the rest of the squad are not back yet.

“Good work.”

Gail, who received the report, gave a new order with a satisfied expression.

Bring the children to their parents so they don't feel anxious.

“Are you sure Dad and Mom are okay? ”

“Of course. He's resting in Trump Village. ”

Roan leaves the camp again, reassuring the children.

When I arrived back in Trump Village across the field, it was at the time of the evening where the sun had gone down.

“Liaya!”

“Mom!"

A little girl jumping into her mother's arms.

There are meetings between parents and children everywhere.

Chad slaps Roan on the shoulder as he looks at him.

“We're risking our lives to protect them. Right?"

Roan nods quietly instead of answering.

“Thank you very much. Thank you."

“Brother! Thank you! ”

The villagers and children rush in and bow their heads repeatedly.

The faces of the five-squad members, including Roan and Chad, smiled with a joyful smile.

They got on the horse as soon as the villagers brought out food as a token of their gratitude.

“Share it with the kids. ”

Chad picks up his horse, leaving a nice note.

Roan and the five squads followed behind him, waving their hands at the children.

‘Let's not forget this heart now. To be a general and a monarch is not for me to eat well and live well by myself. To make everyone happy. ’

The goal becomes a little more difficult.

Now I want to be a good monarch, not just a monarch.

It will be difficult, but not impossible.

‘Try to die. ’

It has a distinctive light in both eyes.

It was a light of confidence and conviction that you could do it.

* * *

Dawson and the rest of his squad return only a day later.

Gail clears up the camp before they can come back.

Of course, before that, I didn't forget to look after Dawson and his squad.

“Roan.”

Phil approaches on the move.

“Huh?"

“I have a question. ”

Roan nods, looking at Fields' big eyes.

Fields spoke with a bright face.

“The Plain of the Pedian is quite important in our kingdom. Why do monsters appear so often? ”

It's true what Pills said.

More than half of the Rhine Kingdom's crops come from the Plains of Pedian.

It's hard to understand that monsters appear in such important places all the time.

“They're gathering for food on the Pedian Plain. ”

Monsters who spent hungry winter throughout the kingdom flock to the Plain of Pedian in the spring to find food.

Something very troubling for the Rhine Kingdom.

You must subdue monsters before you miss the harvest season.

Thanks to this, there is a massive monster subjugation operation in the Pedian Plain every spring.

At that time, I get stuck walking one foot in front of me.

“You know better. ”

Roan just smiles.

Pete looks serious and talks.

“This year's subjugation will be even tougher. Do you know why? ”

Phil shakes his head at that.

‘It's a very difficult question for one who doesn't even know why monsters appear on the Plain of Pedian. ’

Roan smiles bitterly.

He looks Pete in the eye and replies.

“We've been working on a massive monster subjugation operation in Byron Kingdom for about two months now. ”

“Oh.”

Pete looks surprised and bursts into elasticity.

That's when Fields comes in.

“Why is that? What does the Byron Kingdom's Monster Extermination Operation have to do with anything? ”

The answer came from Pete's mouth, not from Roan's.

“Byron Kingdom has driven the monsters south. To our kingdom of Rhine. ”

His last words were "Roan."

“The herded monsters have crossed over to our kingdom of Rhine. Thanks to this, the number of monsters gathering on the Pedian Plain has increased considerably. ”

“Ah.......”

Phil frowns and bursts low elasticity.

“Those Byron bastards. ”

Roan shrugs without hesitating.

For Byron Kingdom, it is a much less damaging and efficient strategy to push monsters out of the border than to exterminate them too much.

But he didn't have to say that.

‘It's true that our kingdom will suffer the consequences because of them anyway. ’

Then you hear a drum in the distance.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

At last, the leader of the rose army entered the Plain of Pedian.

A large and small faction sits on an endless plain.

“Wow."

“Incredible.”

Pills, Glenn, and other rookies have opened their mouths and burst into resilience.

On the other hand, Roan's eyes were calm.

"First of all, it's important to know which precinct the Roses are setting up. ’

Only then can we predict what is to come.

Roan's gaze is towards the west of the plain.

"I like the west a lot….."

I'm used to it.

I can vividly remember where the monsters live, where they live, when they move, and everything else.

‘Cause that's where we fought in our past lives. ’

At that time, the leader of the rosebush turned.

I knew it.

Roan bites his lower lip, looking where the lead is headed.
