I am the Monarch

< Chapter 8 Before Revenge >

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

Bavarian.

She was the wife of Sidek, killed by Roan, and a great warrior within a few fingers among the Orcs of the Northern Reims.

Especially since her husband Cedec was having an affair, she was so cranky that she cut off her penis.

“They are moving very complicated, avoiding the Royal Army and territorial forces, but in the end, the goal seems to be adult Beno here. ”

“Why do you think that is? ”

“If you look at where they were first found, and the last place I found them, you can see they're moving southeast. If we keep going south-southeast…..”

“Veno Castle is coming out here. ”

At Roan's words, Chris nods slowly.

"You have a knack for analyzing information. ’

Roan was slightly impressed.

Chris had limited information and picked the right prediction.

‘By the way.......’

A dark shadow fell upon Roan's face.

‘Is it because of my husband's revenge? ’

Baalin really loved Sedek.

That's why I couldn't forgive Sedek for cheating on me.

Love is close to madness.

My husband Cedec, who I loved so much, died at the hands of a mortal.

‘Our rosebud squad, no, actually I'm the target. ’

It seemed almost certain that they were moving only southeast quickly without pillaging or raiding other villages on the move.

‘We're not just having a squad gathering. ’

We must prepare for battle before the invasion of Baalin's forces.

And their number is 2,000.

Compared to that, there are not even a thousand rosebushes.

Roan bows his head to Chris.

“Thanks to you, I can prepare for their raid. Thank you."

Chris smiles faintly and shakes his hands.

“No. Still far from repaying Uncle Roan's favor." That's why....... ”

He blurs for a moment and asks with a nervous expression.

“Shall I investigate the Orc forces' intelligence and alignment? ”

“Yes?”

Roan asked with a surprised expression.

Something unexpected.

Chris continued to talk.

“Don't you think it would be helpful to know exactly what your pathway is? ”

“That's true, but it's too dangerous. ”

Roan frowns with a serious look on his face.

But Chris shakes his head, smiling faintly.

“I think we can do enough. ”

Attitude and voice as confident as you can.

Moreover, he even looked happy without knowing where he was.

‘I knew he was talented this way. ’

Roan looks at Chris and considers for a moment, then nods.

“Okay, but don't approach it too dangerous. ”

“I understand.”

Chris patted his chest as if to say not to worry.

"You're still going to be a regular travel agent? ’

Chris himself will probably not be able to take it.

“I'll go first, then. ”

After a short greeting to Roan, Chris took a quick walk down the alley.

"Shall I move? ’

Roan quickly returned to the tavern.

“Deputy.”

The whole squad, including Austin, stood up.

They also felt that the atmosphere was unusual.

Roan smiles bitterly and looks at everyone.

“I'm sorry, but the squad gathering has to end here. All returning to base. ”

“Yes! I understand! ”

No one asked why.

I'm just following Roan's orders.

Roan looks at Glenn.

“Glenn. You take your sister. If your relatives don't come back, wait with them and then come back. ”

“Yes, yes. I understand.”

Glenn nods with a expression on his face.

Roan looks at Selene's face as if touching.

It was a very short moment, but for the first time I met my eyes.

Screw you.

Suddenly, a corner of my heart froze.

‘This is not the time. ’

Roan struggles, shaking his head and taking a step.

The twelve squadrons, including Austin, followed closely.

The noisy table quickly became empty.

Selene looks at the entrance.

‘Hmm.'

I don't know why it feels so bad.

"Why do I look so familiar? ’

I've never felt anything like this in my life.

It feels like I've lost something and then I've lost it again.

The large eyes glisten with a strange light.

* * *

Roan explains the situation to his squad and goes to Gale.

“Commander.”

A surprise visit.

Gail smiles faintly and trembles, enjoying a relaxing cup of tea.

“Roan. What happened this time? I'm getting scared now that you're here. ”

A horse I gave as a joke.

However, Roan's expression was serious.

“You really might. ”

“Huh?"

Then Gail senses an unusual atmosphere.

He lowers his cup of tea and looks directly into Roan's eyes.

“Orcs are advancing. ”

A calm voice.

However, the content was shocking.

“Orcs? ”

Gail frowns.

Very few Orc troops move at this time.

Roan takes a step to point to the map unfolding on the central table.

“We're moving south-southeast near the northern border. Target is presumed to be Castle Beno here. ”

“What the…..”

Gail frowns and shakes her head.

Roan told me the story he had just met with Chris.

Gail's face hardens.

“Dammit. For my husband's revenge.......”

He sighs and looks at Roan.

“You gave a scout to a friend named Chris? ”

“Yes, I told him to do it because he wanted to. ”

“Is it reliable?”

“Yes, I can. ”

Roan grudgingly replies.

Gail nods and grabs Roan's shoulder.

“I should head to the headquarters first. I have to report to the commander. Can you come with me? ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

He did not refuse.

Gail immediately summoned Kenneth and his deputies to give them an order to prepare for battle, informing them of the advance of the Orcs.

“Then shall we go? ”

“Yes, I'll lead the way. ”

Roan climbs into the saddle and grabs the reins.

Beno Castle and Ifen Castle are two days' walk away.

I could get there in one day if I rode fast enough.

‘I tried to take a leave of absence and there's a battle going on. ’

With a bitter smile, Roan kicks the horse's belly.

Hee-hee-hee!

The horse cries for a long time, then starts running south.

Gail kicks the horse in the belly with a tight squeeze.

Two or two.

The hoofbeats you in the ear.

Dust flows south, biting the tail and tail.

* * *

“Hmmm. Hmm. ”

I couldn't stop singing.

Aaron has been feeling pretty good lately.

Because the things I planned are going well and I found a person I like.

‘Roan. He is still eighteen years old, but it will definitely be big. ’

The fangs in your pockets will come out someday.

As Roan builds up the ball and continues his work, there will be those who will see him.

‘Before that, I need to make sure it's mine. ’

In his mind, many plans were made and he repeatedly collapsed.

The first card of your choice at the end of your worries.

‘I hope you're interested in rail baker. ’

Aaron wrote a letter to the famous rail as a prodigy of spear art.

I found a guy with a talent to behold.

‘According to reports from the chiefs, commanders, and deputies, Roan's spear skills are classy. What's even more surprising is.......’

Your spear skills have improved noticeably in just a few months.

‘Reports show a significant change in spear skills when dealing with Goblins in Eile Canyons and Orcs in the Prelli River. Gail's expression makes me feel like a baby has become a young man in one night. ’

It was clear that he had a great talent for spear.

‘It's not impossible to become the best spearer in the kingdom if you can learn the skills of the rail baker. ’

Of course, there were concerns.

Perhaps Raleigh will take Roan away from me.

But Aaron believed in the rails.

No, I usually believed in his character.

‘Raleigh Baker is a lone wolf. He has no interest in power. ’

Thanks to you, there are no nobles, not even territories.

‘Even if I like Roan, I will only take him as my disciple. ’

Why Aaron was able to write the rails with peace of mind.

‘If things go according to plan, Roan owes me a big debt. ’

Aaron smiles.

He was going to raise Roan as a general with his best man in his corner.

‘If Roan grows up as expected…..’

I will also be able to enter the central office, not the captain of this defense.

‘Of course, I want you to be as big as I expected. ’

In order to do that, I have already drawn several cards.

‘If we succeed, we will move on to the next plan. ’

The plans that will lead to my head were drawn.

“Hmmm. Hmm. ”

That's why I had to snore.

Besides, I have one more piece of good news.

‘It's still my birthday.......’

Aaron picks up the letter on one side of the table.

A letter from my daughter studying at Fever Castle.

It was just before I left for Ipen Castle.

‘You're busy studying, but you want to keep my birthday. ’

To him, Mary Tate was a wonderful and beautiful daughter.

‘I need to buy some good meat. ’

The smile on my mouth became darker.

Then Mendel enters the door of the Oval Office.

“Commander, Commander Gail and Deputy Roan are here for you. ”

Urgent expressions and voices.

Gail and Roan? ’

Aaron tilts his head and shakes his hand.

“Tell them to come in. ”

Gail and Roan walk into the office terrified to be finished.

“I'm here to see the captain. ”

Light manners.

‘What happened.......’

Aaron frowns.

Because Gail and Roan didn't look suspicious.

“What's going on? ”

Gayle answered a short question after swallowing his thirst.

“Orcs are advancing. ”

Boom.

At that moment, Aaron's face hardens.

“Orcs? What do you mean? ”

“Well……"

Gail explained the rough situation she had heard from Roan.

At the same time, I laid out a map of the north-eastern Rhine Kingdom.

“So far, Intel has confirmed that they are advancing from the northern border to the southeast. The number is roughly 2,000. All aboard the Lofos and the target appears to be Castle Beno. ”

Heavy silence.

Aaron stares at the map with fierce eyes.

The Orcs are advancing southeast? ’

Impact of getting hit in the back with a hard head.

‘I overlap with my daughter's sympathy. ’

My fingertips are shaking anxiously.

‘It's been two days since Mary left Faver Castle. Soon we'll be in Slan territory. ’

Mary was moving northeast from Faber Castle toward Beno Castle.

On the contrary, Orc forces are advancing south-southeast.

‘We are likely to meet each other in Slan. ’

Aaron takes a deep breath.

‘If you ever get caught up with the Orcs...'

Aaron shakes his head.

I don't even want to imagine.

For Mary's safety, we must defend the Slan area.

‘But we cannot take up arms against the Orcs on Lofos. ’

I couldn't force the soldiers under my command into limbs because of one daughter.

I was deeply troubled.

‘Daughter or soldiers. ’

Aaron was deeply troubled by the two roles of father and commander.

However, Gail, who could not have known this kind of language, was deeply burned.

An urgent situation.

“Captain?"

I carefully summoned Aaron.

Aaron looks directly at Gail, Mendel and Roan.

‘I am the commander of these men. ’

Soldiers in the army were like children.

"I'm sorry, Mary. ’

He decides on the end of the book.

“There aren't many of them, and they're all on Lofos, so they lock the gates of the castle and open the water temple. I'll dispatch the troops from the headquarters. ”

He gave orders as a commander, not a father.

‘Mary.......’

My heart was boiling.

Mendel then opened his mouth with a complex expression.

“Commander, your daughter will..."

“Stop. Don't say it anymore. ”

Aaron shakes his hand.

He bit his lower lip tightly.

“Send a messenger to Mary. ”

“But I know the messenger will arrive on time.......”

Boom!

Aaron slaps the table.

“Then you want me to send soldiers to the limbs to save a daughter! ”

Fluffy pain.

Then Mendel shut up and walked away.

His face is stiff.

"Captain......."

Mendel knew how much Aaron cared for Mary and loved her.

‘He always lived with pride and praise on his mouth. ’

Again, Mary was happy to run, saying that she was coming to get her birthday.

‘Such a captain chose his men over his daughter. ’

Cruel choice.

Mendel can feel Aaron's grief.

At that time, Aaron gives a difficult command as if he were vomiting something hot.

“Send a messenger to Mary. ”

Gail and Roan have been keeping an eye on the situation.

Your daughter is on her way to Iphen Castle! ’

It was only then that I understood Aaron's mantra.

However, I could not suggest a swift field.

‘There's no reason to fight the Orcs on Lofos. ’

We know about their surprise attack in advance, so we close the gates and open the Water Temple.

The strategy was in its current state.

Aaron picks his breath and points to the map.

“I'll send troops from the headquarters to close all the gates of Beno Castle and battle the water.......”

At the end of the sentence, Roan sighs for a short time.

He looks at Aaron, Gail, and Mendel's eyes.

“Roan, do you have something to say? ”

Aaron frowns and asks again.

Roan shakes his head with a short sigh.

“No water temples. ”
