I am the Monarch
< Chapter 7 Chain >
------------------------------------
After Roan's military conspiracy was finished, the Rosebush began preparing for withdrawal.
Months of return.
The troops' faces were full of excitement.
Of course, he did not hesitate to train and train.
In addition to the existing squad training and spear training, visual training has been added to make the most of Kalian's tears.
Pa!
Roan runs gently and quickly down the rocky slopes.
There was no hesitation in the footwork, even though large and small rocks were spreading dizzily.
Literally smooth movement like flowing water.
But it was frustrating for Roan to run around in the rocks.
‘Slow. Slow. ’
Kalian's tears greatly enhanced his visual ability.
Even looking at the same landscape gave me much more visual information than before.
While running relentlessly through the rock, you can clearly see how large and how large the rocks protrude and how twisted the angles are.
Tada!
After choosing the spot to step out of based on visual information, Roan flew away.
There was a little problem right here.
Visual information has already finished identifying the next point, but the body has not yet reached the first point.
In short, the movement was completely out of visual acuity.
‘In this situation, what's the point of finding out where the spear comes from and where the arrow comes from? ’
I just can't avoid it.
‘The only conclusion is training, training and training. ’
We need to build strength and stamina and soften our bodies so we can move a little faster than we are now.
The same is true of spear and other martial arts.
‘What if I see a breach in the enemy? We should be able to shove a spear through it. ’
It took more effort than before.
Ta-ah!
Roan once again starts running around the rocks.
At that moment, a familiar face pops out of the boulder.
“Deputy! Deputy Roan! ”
It looks white and soft.
It was Glenn.
Roan stops running and looks at Glenn.
At that moment, the face of the distant creature looked large as if it were in front of your nose.
“Evacuation! Evacuation has begun! ”
Excited voice.
Finally, the withdrawal of the Rose Army began.
‘At last, we must withdraw. ’
Two days' drive to Beno Castle, where the base is located.
In two days' time, the Fedian Plain extermination will be over.
‘War is always a pleasure. ’
I have a faint smile on my mouth.
However, the smile soon turned into a bitter smile.
‘No, it's not a truce, it's a truce. ’
The Petian Plain subjugation will resume a year later.
In addition, monsters will appear everywhere.
Moreover, other kingdoms and empires facing the border can invade at any time.
The war could never end.
‘How far will this truce go? ’
I don't expect much.
Since I first caught the spear, I decided to live on the battlefield and die on the battlefield.
“But I want to live a long time this time. ”
I wanted to give at least 38.
Roan waves at Glenn with a faint smile.
“I'll be right there! ”
“Yes! I understand! ”
Glenn screams at you and disappears below the rock.
‘Is it so good.......’
Roan takes a slow step and bursts into laughter.
It's because of Glenn's childlike face.
At that time, one memory that I had suddenly forgotten, or tried to forget, crossed my mind.
‘Ah! His hometown was near Beno Castle. ’
Glenn's hometown is in Dio, near Beno Castle.
He grew up in Dio Village.
‘That means.......’
It means that she was born and raised in the village, too.
A thin glow settled on my face.
I had a chilly chill, but not an unpleasant feeling.
It's just that I feel so insecure that I can't hide it.
* * *
Beno Castle's South Gate is wide open.
When Roan walked into the castle, he was surprised with his eyes wide open.
“Waaaah! Long live the Rosebud! ”
“Congratulations on your safe return! ”
“Rose! Rose! ”
Screaming in my ears.
As if all the saints were gathering, a huge crowd grows along the side of the road.
"This cheer......."
20 years on the battlefield.
In the meantime, I have had many experiences returning to villages, forts, and castles with headquarters after the battle.
But I've never been so encouraged in the process.
When you came home victorious from the war against Byron? ’
I was also greatly encouraged.
But that was when I returned from winning the battle of honor in my country.
I didn't return from defeating the monsters on the annual Pedian Plain like I do now.
When Roan looks at people with a somewhat expressive expression.
A pretty-looking girl among the crowd appeared with a rose.
Gail and her deputies lower their heads slightly as if they were waiting.
The girls put roses on a rusty helmet with a shy look on their faces.
“Thank you.”
“Thank you.”
Nice to meet you.
“I'm glad you're back in one piece. ”
The girl's anger was also pretty and cute.
At that moment, a very little girl approaches Roan.
I ran to see the ranks of breastplate.
“I'm glad you're back in one piece. ”
The voice of a shy girl.
Roan hesitates and lowers his head slightly.
Zec.
The girl puts a rose on one side of her helmet, moving her small-sized hand.
“Thank you.”
Roan grins faintly and strokes the girl's head.
“Hee.”
The girl smiles brightly and soon hides herself in the crowd.
In the meantime, the troops moved diligently.
“Waaaah!”
“Rose! Rose! ”
The cheers of the people continued.
Roan turns his head to look at the troops.
Everyone was happy waving their hands in a skillful manner.
‘I guess this cheer is not surprising. ’
It means that the military and the common people are very good.
‘I am a much better commander than I thought. ’
I had a feeling last time that Gail was a good commander.
When the Goblin troops attacked in Eil Canyon, they were dispatched to save at least one more troop.
‘The common folk must have taken care of him as well as the rest of the troops. ’
That is why we will receive such cheer and cheer.
I can see the base from afar.
Roan smiles faintly, placing his hand on his left chest.
My heart was filled with the cheers of the saints.
In her arms was a small piece of paper received from Gail just before arriving at Beno Castle.
‘The squad will love it. ’
The tail of my mouth keeps going up.
I wanted to quickly return to the headquarters and show you the paper in my arms.
‘It's going to be crazy. ’
I could be sure.
It is because nothing excites me more than this paper during the last 20 years of battlefield.
One day, I saw the entrance to the base.
It was time for the festival to begin.
* * *
“Are you serious? ”
“Really?! Are you really going on vacation?”
“Not three nights, three nights, four nights, five nights?! ”
Expected reactions.
No, more violent reactions than I expected.
Roan shakes a sheet of paper, smiling bloody.
A small piece of paper I had in my arms.
Just before arriving at Beno Castle, the paper Gail gave to Roan was a vacation.
It was also not an ordinary vacation.
"I can't believe you're giving me squad leave. ’
All non-individual members of the squad were entitled to leave.
“So pack your things. ”
The whole squad crashes their heads into the luggage, scared to death.
Stuffed in your bag as soon as you reach for it.
Among them was Austin, who was a conscientious observer of discipline.
"There's no point in being face-to-face on vacation. ’
Roan smiles faintly and watches the squad.
I've been a common spearer for over a decade in my last life.
He knew how great a gift and happiness this vacation was to the general public.
The 12th squad packed their bags in no time.
“You're faster than I thought you'd be. ”
Roan gives you a mean look.
“Hmmm.”
The 12th squad members coughed awkwardly.
Austin, who was leaning around, cautiously asked.
“Deputy, aren't you packing? ”
Roan nods, his head wide open.
“I'm from the Gran Mountains, so I can't take a four-night, five-day vacation. I'm just trying to get some rest at headquarters. ”
“Ah.......”
Austin and his twelve squadrons all burst into astonishing elasticity.
“Then I'll be back early. ”
Austin's words.
Then the rest of the squad comes forward with a single word.
“I'll be back a day early. ”
“Me, too."
“I'll come, too. ”
When Roan smiles brightly and tries to shake his hand.
Austin claps his hands.
Even.
“Then why don't we have a squad meeting on this occasion? Let's just get together and have a quick beer before we get back. ”
The 12-minute crew cheers fearfully at the end of the conversation.
“Oh! That's great! ”
“Great!”
The sound of cheer filled the house.
Austin shrugs and looks at Roan.
It's as if everyone wants it this way. How could you? The face that asks.
Roan nods, smiling bloody.
“I was going to have a drink with the squad members. If you guys don't mind, let's meet for drinks the day before we get back. ”
“Yes! I understand! ”
Everyone replied with a loud voice.
‘Everyone's excited. ’
Seeing me happy, I felt relieved for no reason.
Pair!
Roan claps his hands and pushes the squad members back.
“Come on! Let's go home, then! Get some rest! ”
The squad members are pushed out of their homes as if they were being driven out of their homes.
They pick up their luggage and take the ordinance.
“I'll be back.”
Excited voice.
Roan waves his hand, smiling faintly.
“Goodbye. ”
Short Greetings.
Austin and his squad make their way to the entrance of the headquarters.
Roan stood still and stared at their backs for a long time.
‘They're good guys. ’
Those who want to be together to the end.
Roan smiles.
At that moment, I heard a familiar voice.
“Deputy Roan. ”
“Huh?"
Roan turns his head to find the protagonist of his voice.
“Pills, why didn't you go? ”
The protagonist of the voice was Fields.
He shakes his head, smiling awkwardly.
“I'm a long way from home, too. I'm just going to take a break at headquarters. ”
“Ah. You said your hometown was in the central region, right? ”
“Yes, I'm from Blair Village in Billington. ”
“Far away.”
“Yes, it's far. ”
Roan and Fields smiled bitterly at each other.
I had no place to go even after getting my vacation card.
At that time, Phil hesitates, and speaks carefully.
“Can I get you two a drink? ”
* * *
It felt strange.
Roan takes a sip of warm beer.
‘Have you ever had a drink with Fields…..’
Stumbling through memories.
‘Ah! There was only one time. ’
Right after Fields became Duke.
The night before he left for the territory, he came to the army headquarters.
‘I used to bring very expensive wine. ’
That day, Pills left without saying a word, sharing a bottle of wine.
Roan also emptied his glass without saying a word.
‘Was that the last time we met…..'
Of course, I've seen it a few times from a long distance.
But even the two of them stood as tall as the street.
Fields is in the highest phase, and Roan is in the lowest.
‘It must have been his own consideration. ’
Being distant on purpose.
And I have never taken a position or a position as a general commander as a duc out of my mouth.
Perhaps it was his own way of caring.
When I'm wet with old thoughts.
“Deputy Roan? ”
You hear Phil's voice.
“What makes you think that? ”
“Oh, no. It just seems like the last few months have been too hectic. ”
“I'm pretty sure I don't know what happened. ”
Phil smiles faintly and raises his beer glass.
Gulp. Gulp.
He quickly empties his beer cup and looks straight at Roan.
“Deputy.”
Instead of answering, Roan glances at both eyes.
Pills continues.
“You know my personality, right? They're shy, introverted, they're macho. I don't like to stand in front of people. I have bad relationships with people. ”
Roan nods his head in ignorance.
Phil scratches the table with his fingertips.
Ugh. Ugh.
The sound of a tree scratch echoes in my ears.
“I had a lot of regrets at the Training Hall. Should we just go back home and farm? I thought about it a lot. ”
Tak.
My fingers stopped.
Phil looks at Roan's eyes.
Hot eyes.
“But this time, I felt a lot of things when I saw you. ”
Roan quietly waits for the next word.
“Excellent strategy, excellent specialty, excellent spear….. Of course this is great, but there's something else that I feel even greater about. ”
I feel tired of my voice.
“Try.”
Phil takes a deep breath.
“The deputy really does have a day's worth of troop training, squad training, personal training and training. And it's not just that. ”
There was a spark in my eyes.
“You even tried to understand and embrace your squad members. He spent the night nursing for Rand, who injured his shoulder in combat, and scouring through the troops for Keefe, who had a stomach ache. And.......”
Phil shares stories that Roan secretly cared about and cared for for for for the 12 squad members and ordinary soldiers for a while.
Roan shakes his head, smiling faintly.
“I just did what I had to do as an assistant. ”
Phil shakes his head at that.
“No. Deputy Roan was the only one who did this. ”
Determined expression and convincing voice.
“Deputy, you'd make a really good commander. You will become a colonel, tearing apart the Rhine Kingdom, or the continent. ”
Roan nods, smiling and smiling.
“If I become a general, you will be the greatest spearer on the continent. ”
“Me?”
“Yes. Your gift will do just fine. ”
Roan looks him straight in the eye.
A look without hesitation.
‘These eyes......? ’
Phil senses a trembling heart.
‘It is that look in the battle of the forest. ’
At that time, Phil was terrified of the ogre by it.
To Pills, Roan throws a short note.
< I trust you. >
‘It's the same look as before. ’
An unsuspecting look because he truly believes he will become the continent's greatest spearer.
Phil bites his lower lip.
He looks directly into Roan's eyes.
“If……"
My voice is trembling very well.
“If I'm going to be the greatest spearer on the continent, then use me as an assistant. ”
At that, Roan shakes his head with a bloody smile.
“You can't do that. ”
“Yes? Oh, no? ”
Phil asked with a puzzled expression.
Roan nods slowly.
“Of course. You can't just use the continent's greatest spearer as an assistant. At least be a general. ”
“Ah.......”
Phil sighs of relief.
Then I looked straight at Roan.
“Don't forget that promise. ”
“Of course.”
Roan nods, smiling bloody.
Then I came up with an idea.
‘If Fields……'
Slightly raises the tail of the mouth.
“Fields.”
“Yes?”
I put down the beer Phil was holding.
Roan whispers in a small voice.
“Do you want me to teach you how to make a spear? ”
“Creation?”
“Yes, I have a new technique that suits you. ”
Phil smiles brightly and nods.
“Teach me!”
Then I asked with a careful voice.
“But what is the name of the spear? ”
In response, Roan smiled a little awkwardly.
“Roan Changhua. ”
Roan Changhua.
Actually, there can't be such a thing.
‘But that doesn't mean it's a Fields method. ’
Roan was going to teach Pills how to create it.
If it were the way it was, Phil would have invented it himself eight years from now.
‘What kind of monster would have happened if I had encountered Pills Changing 8 years earlier…..'
It could be a little more perfect.
‘If I become a force.......’
The new Fields Choreography, or Roan Choreography, will be helpful.
At that moment, you hear the evil voice of Pills.
“Yes? That's a name I don't want to learn. ”
