I am the Monarch

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

"This guy again? ’

What is it this time? ’

The eyes of the deputies who were sitting round and hiding come together in one place.

“Sorry for taking a break. ”

Roan leans forward.

Gail nods, smiling faintly as she chokes.

“Yes. What's going on? ”

“I have something to tell you. ”

Gayle sits upright with his water bag down.

The officers who were sitting in circles gathered around their necks.

‘Yes, let's hear what you're saying this time. ’

I can feel the energy in my deputies' eyes.

Roan stands tall and looks Gail straight in the eye.

Confident but never arrogant.

“We need to go rescue Ramsay, Bloodline and Graham, who chose the Forward Breach. ”

“Hmm.”

Moaning comes from Gail's mouth.

‘You're sure your three armies are in danger. ’

He glances into Roan's eyes quietly.

Strong eyes without shaking.

‘Against the breakthrough in the first place, I told you there would be more monsters lurking there. ’

If that's true, the three units that chose the forward breach are like rabbits in a tiger's den.

That's when I heard Kenneth's voice.

“Having to rescue three units means they're in danger, right? ”

“That's right.”

An answer without hesitation.

“How can you be so sure? ”

It's a provocative question, but it's not the same blatant disregard.

‘I can't ignore something I showed you. ’

When I first said I had to break through the Ogre troops, I thought it was crazy.

‘But there were no monsters behind the ogres, just like he said. ’

Although more than 200 soldiers were lost, more survived.

Not a bad outcome for a perfect ambush.

It means that Roan's choice was not always in vain.

‘Cocky is arrogant, and you're good at it. ’

I didn't like to ignore the hierarchy and structure of the child's subject and act recklessly.

However, if that behavior is not vanity but skill, it cannot be ignored.

I admit it.

Kennis, who has been on the battlefield for many years as the deputy commander of the Rose Corps, was such a longtime man.

Roan takes a deep breath.

“Our troops have eluded the ogres, Orcs, and Goblins who were following us. So where did they go? ”

Finger points north.

“They must have gone after Ramsay and the Bloodline and Graham. because you saw it.”

“Hmm.”

Deputies, including Kenneth, shed low tears.

‘Obviously, the Ogres, Orcs, and Goblins who were chasing us weren't strong enough to go after us. ’

‘I started chasing him, but then I stepped back for a moment. ’

‘I felt like I was going back to The Forest. ’

Then you hear Gail's voice.

“Fine. Let's say you're right about everything. Even so, there are only 600 of us. What good is this army gonna do? I'd rather just go back to the Legion camp and ask for the Salvation Army. ”

Some of the deputies nod.

Roan shakes his head with a stiff look.

“In the meantime, three armies will be wiped out. ”

“Hmm."

Gail is silent with tears.

At that time, one of the deputies in the back said in Balmain's voice.

“But we can't die together, can we? ”

Going to rescue three troops in this situation is suicide.

Roan shakes his head, smiling faintly.

“I have a way. ”

Ian's strategy to be called a tax genius tactician in the future.

He looks at Gail and carefully asks.

“Do you mind if I take a look at the military map? ”

“Military map? ”

Gail ponders for a moment and then looks at Dawson.

Dawson nods slightly, then pulls out a lump of tall paper from his chest.

Blur-ub.

The rolling paper unfolds, revealing a crude map.

‘I expected it, but it's worse than I thought. ’

Roan sighs a little.

The map in front of you is a disgraceful level to call a map.

‘A detailed map of the terrain and features across the kingdom will require another 10 years. ’

Of course, the map was also one of Ian Phillips' works, a brilliant tactician with a surplus.

With his fingertips, he pointed to one side of the map, comforting his poor heart.

“This is where we are today. And.......”

Finger rises slightly upward.

“The three units that chose the forward breach should be here by now. They're probably under attack by monsters by now. ”

Finger drops back down slightly.

“And this river is the Fréli River. The river is wide, but shallow. ”

Gail and her deputies nod.

They also knew the Fréli River well.

‘Especially in spring, the water is so shallow that it's only deep in the thighs of adult men. ’

Roan looks at Gail and her deputies and says,

“We need to do a hands-on operation. ”

Everyone frowns for a moment.

“Handicraft?”

The question again contains a powerful question.

Are you trying to use your hands on the Frelly River? ’

You're out of your mind. ’

Eyes filled with disbelief.

However, Roan's expression was confident.

His fingers move along the Fréli River to the right.

Tuck.

Finger tip stops.

“Here's the answer. ”

* * *

Two or two.

The clanging hooves of the earth.

Roan takes a deep breath as he kicks his horse's belly.

‘Ian Phillips is great because he's not just devising a mysterious strategy. ’

Ian was called a tax genius tactician for a number of reasons, but one of the biggest reasons was that he knew the importance of information better than anyone else.

He ran the first professional intelligence agency on the continent as well as the Rhine Kingdom.

‘Until then, it was a form of information guild or thief guild that paid for a quest or bought the information they needed. ’

Ian carefully collected and analyzed even small pieces of information that no one else was interested in.

Thanks to this, I was able to gather more information than anyone else, and based on this, I created the most effective and effective tactics.

‘The same is true of The Battle of The Forest. ’

Ian focuses on information that no one has noticed, or even thought would be obvious, during his investigation into the Battle of the Ants Forest.

‘Temporary reservoir. ’

Farmers on the Pedian Plain built a temporary reservoir on the Prelli River at the end of winter.

Gathering water during the winter in case there is a shortage of water in the spring when farming begins for a year.

Thanks to this, the Fréli River is very shallow compared to its strength every spring.

‘Blow up the temporary reservoir. ’

That's what Ian thinks he's gonna do.

Roan kicks his horse's belly and looks east.

Where the temporary reservoir is located.

‘The troops should be arriving by now. ’

Rosebud is currently divided into two groups.

Gail leads her to a temporary reservoir to destroy the dam.

And Kenneth and Roan were running with more than 300 troops towards Ramsay, Blood Kingdom and Graham.

‘We don't want to wipe out our man-made operations. ’

Roan grips his grip calmly.

“Deputy Kenneth. ”

“Huh?"

Kenneth looks back as he runs ahead.

Roan points his finger at the ground.

“I'll leave the archers here. ”

Kenis nods and gestures.

One of the soldiers steps out of line.

Roan drives north, leaving a archer in the middle.

When you run like that and you cross a pretty high hill.

Cham! Cham! Chang!

A faint sound of iron is heard.

“Kill him!”

“Don't push it! ”

“Push or die! ”

The sound of the shout of evil then heard.

At that moment, Roan's face frowns.

"Why?"

Unbelievable face.

Roan quickly kicks his horse's belly and lowers himself.

The horse sprints to the top of the hill.

Immediately, the open battlefield caught my eye.

“Why are the three armies here? ”

Unexpected circumstances.

Then Kennis approaches and asks.

“As you suspected, shouldn't our allies be on the other side of the Frelli River? But.......”

Ramseys, bloodline and graham are already down south across the river.

Roan bites his lower lip.

‘Different.’

Originally, three armies were supposed to be fighting monsters north of the Fréli River.

Unexpected battles again.

‘Definitely different. But.......’

Roan squints at the battlefield.

The Pokémon quickly turns back as if it were a distant sound in its head.
