I am the Monarch

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

“Roan!"

Aaron's voice rises.

My face turned red.

“If it's because of my daughter..."

When the horse goes on like that.

Roan shakes his head.

“That's not why. ”

A calm voice.

Aaron, Mendel and Gail look at Roan.

There was a mysterious look on his face.

Roan looks at you and says,

“Baalin is a hot-headed, violent man. And if she strikes towards Veno without looting or plundering, that means that the anger against the Rose Army is just as great. ”

He did not reveal that he was the one who was avenged.

Aaron, Mendel and Gail nod.

Roan's words continue.

“In this situation, what would happen if we locked the gates and opened the Water Temple when Baalin arrived in Beno Castle? ”

Three people did not respond quickly.

Roan runs his fingers all over Beno Castle.

“If Baerlin is a hotheaded and violent man, he will destroy all of these villages instead of Beno Castle. ”

Boom.

At that moment, Aaron, Mendel and Gail's faces harden.

Problems I hadn't thought of yet.

‘We thought we just needed to prevent a sneak attack. ’

‘I thought Beno Castle should not be taken. ’

That's about it.

But Roan was considering more than that, and even after that.

‘Well, there have been many battles like this. ’

The situation was urgent, so I completely forgot that there was such a precedent.

Aaron looks at the map with a serious look.

“Surely a mad warrior named Varlen would be more than likely. ”

We couldn't turn the area upside down to protect a Beno Castle.

Aaron looks at Roan.

“Do you think you should be out in the field? ”

“Yes.”

Short but direct answer.

Aaron looks directly into Roan's eyes.

“Then which region would be appropriate? ”

He replied without hesitation.

“Of course it's in Slan. ”

He points with his finger to the northwest corner of Beno Castle.

“The area is dominated by small and large towns to the south-east. To stop the Bavarian forces, we need to establish a defensive line northwest of Slan. ”

A confident voice.

Aaron, Mendel, and Gail look at the map, looking carefully at Roan's words.

As Roan said, in the south-eastern part of the Slán region, a large number of inhabitants live there.

‘In order to save these villagers, we must defend the Slan region. ’

We need to establish a perimeter northwest of Slan. ’

They look at Roan with a somewhat surprised look.

‘He's really something. ’

‘Unlike others, I have insight into the situation. ’

"How far can he go? ’

Praises that swallow without being able to express.

Roan points to the map, pretending not to know it.

“But this area is empty. It's an absolute advantage for the Orcs on Lofos. ”

“So what do we do? ”

Aaron, Mendel and Gail stare at Roan, forgetting their rank.

“Perhaps I should go myself. I want to make sure the terrain around me is clear. ”

I've had a variety of experiences over the past 20 years and have remembered a lot of information and knowledge, but unfortunately I don't remember much about the Slan region.

Aaron nods.

“Fine. I'll tell you what the Army HQ has to say best. ”

“At this rate, I'd like to go with the 12-minute team. ”

“Do it. ”

“Thank you."

Roan lowers his head.

Aaron looks straight at Gail and Mendel.

“It is almost impossible to muster other regional troops in the current situation. ”

It took quite a bit of time for the local troops to arrive in the Slan region after they were ready to march.

Aaron continues.

“I will dispatch troops from the headquarters as soldiers, so defeat Baalin's troops. ”

“Yes! I understand! ”

Gail, Mendel and Roan both bow their heads.

Aaron's eyes subside calmly.

"If only the Slan area could hold......."

The owners were safe, but Mary was also safe.

Two birds in one stone.

His gaze was on Roan.

‘Roan, please. ’

Even Aaron relies on Roan.

Roan has unknowingly taken over a large part in the army.

* * *

“Yes? The field? ”

“You're building a wire in the northwest corner of Slan? ”

Expected reactions.

Gail smiles bitterly at the deputies' violent reactions.

He explains his stories in a bold voice.

“Ah.......”

and then reasoning assistants with low elasticity.

“But a field in the middle of nowhere against the Orcs on Lofos..."

Awesome situation.

Gail points at Roan with her jaw.

“Roan will take a closer look at Slan's area first. ”

That said, Kenis and other deputies looked at Roan.

Roan stares at the map on the central table.

Do you have an idea? ’

‘If it's Roan, there may be another mysterious strategy. ’

Kennis and his deputies swallowed dry saliva.

Expectant eyes.

But Roan couldn't hide his frustration while looking at the map.

‘The map is too messy. ’

The map of this time, compared to the map 20 years later, is the child's doodling level.

Only major villages, mountains, forests and rivers were indicated.

There were too many omissions

Roan's finger points to a section of the map.

Space where nothing is displayed.

‘Slan Region.......’

Finger moves northwest this time.

A region that needs to build lines and fight back against Orc troops.

‘There are short canyons, forests and rivers.......’

It was not a very helpful topography on the map.

‘I'll have to see it for myself. ’

Roan turns his head to gaze at Gail.

“Commander, I and my twelve squads will leave immediately. ”

Gail nods in fear of finishing her sentence.

“Yes. The horse is ready. ”

Twenty horses, specially handed to you by Aaron.

After a brief greeting to Gail and her deputies, Roan left for the 12th quarter.

“Deputy.”

Twelve squads, including Austin and Fields, are already ready to march.

I had a tense look on my face.

“There's nothing to be nervous about. We're going to explore the topography of the Slan region. ”

Soft voice.

The squad nods unconsciously.

“We travel on horseback to shorten our time. Who's never ridden a horse before? ”

Phil and Glenn raise their hands.

However, the rest of the squad had some experience riding horses because they had sunny days on the battlefield.

Roan entrusted Fields and Glenn to Austin and Rand, the most experienced of all.

"If you want to be a general leading an army, you need to learn to ride a horse. ’

I had a lot to teach in the future.

‘Of course, I have a lot to learn. ’

Roan's eyes sparkle.

The target has changed from a general to a monarch.

Now, it's not just about invention, strategy, and tactics.

‘There is no academic study called Caesarean Studies for no reason. ’

I wanted to become a real monarch.

Roan takes a deep breath.

‘Slowly, one by one. For now…..'

Crisis in sight.

Focus on getting rid of Baalin's troops.

“Let's go.”

“Yes! I understand. ”

In Roan's words, the 12-minute team responded briefly and took the ordinance.

After a short while, a dozen Phil's horses rush out of the battlements gate.

Two or two.

The clanging hooves of the earth.

At the forefront of the swift horsemen to the northwest was Roan.

‘I'm afraid I need a proper strategy and tactic. ’

I grabbed my hand and kicked the horse's belly without rest.

But in his head, he was whizzing to find what he deserved from a number of tactical strategies.

Rrrrgh.

The westerly wind is heavy.

* * *

Roan frowns in the saddle.

Slan's territory is literally empty.

Everywhere you go, there are dark hills and vast fields.

‘This is the only good place. ’

A place we found in the northwest corner of Slan.

It was near the town of Midis, with a short canyon, a small forest, and a pretty deep river, which you have already seen on the map.

“Mt. Flam Canyon is too short and the Ritten Forest is too dark. ”

Austin sighs as he approaches.

Roan nods slowly.

‘It is difficult to see the great effect of ambushing a canyon or burning a forest. ’

Above all, when the canyons and forests are breached, a flat field spreads out.

‘But thanks to the Slaion River flowing north, the area of the field is narrower than anywhere else. ’

Roan looks closely at the surrounding landscape with calm eyes.

‘Moreover, the Bavarian troops are very likely to pass through the area. ’

The shortest starting point to Benno Castle.

‘We need to come up with the most useful tactics in our current situation. An ambush or a firecracker? Or do you want to do it again? ’

Several thoughts filled my head.

You hear Rand's voice in your ears.

“Deputy! That young man was here last time! ”

Rand, who was looking into the nearby terrain, shows up with a young man of Morgol's guilt.

“Ah!”

Roan jumps off the horse with low elasticity.

“Chris! ”

“Deputy Roan. ”

A young man who has committed a crime.

He was Chris who left to find out the route and information of the Varlen troops.

Roan and Chris clapped hands.

“Are you hurt anywhere? ”

“I'm fine.”

Chris smiles brightly and taps his chest.

He looked tired, but he didn't know where to look.

“Barlen's troops are about four days from here. ”

“It's farther than I thought. ”

Roan frowns.

They're en route on Lofos.

Lofos was as fast as he said.

Rather, it was better than talking at a turn or instant speed.

I expected to arrive in the Slan area in the next two days.

Chris smiled faintly and replied.

“The line is very inefficient to move away from the eyes of local troops and territorial troops. Moreover, 2,000 people couldn't move at the same time, so they split into groups. ”

The goal of the Bavarian troops is to raid the Rose troops.

He didn't want to fight useless battles against other regional troops or territorial forces for no reason.

‘Idiots. Life in a surprise is a swift move. ’

The longer the line, the more likely it is that the useless battles will be to be avoided, but the more important the surprise attack will be to go back to failure.

Chris continued.

“And because of the constant movement, the Rofos and the Orcs are exhausted. They're resting for a long time. ”

Roan nods, smiling faintly.

“Thanks to you, our side bought us some time. ”

“This is a record of their troop configuration and progress. ”

Chris handed me a small pack of papers.

Roan carefully hands it over and asks in a small voice.

“But how did you go after them? ”

It couldn't have been easy to gather information while chasing after the Orcs riding on Lofos.

Chris shakes his head.

“I wasn't chasing. I waited up front.”

“Yes?”

Roan opens his eyes and greets.

Chris smiled faintly and said,

“At first, they checked each of the places they had passed and then recorded and organized the lines afterwards. And I could almost see the way they were moving. We were moving gradually to Castle Beno, where local troop headquarters were located, where there were frequent surveillance of the territorial troops, and even where monsters appeared frequently. ”

“Ah.......”

It meant that he had predicted the route ahead of time based on existing information.

‘You are a very coveted person. ’

Limited information also produces sufficiently significant results.

Roan clenches his lower lip and looks at Chris.

“So what's the enemy's projected move? ”

In response, Chris smiles brightly and points his finger underfoot.

“You chose the right place. They'll be here. ”

A confident voice.

Roan doesn't ask again.

‘That's what Chris would say. ’

Perfect Faith.

“Then let's make this place a party place. ”

Roan smiles faintly at the canyon and the forest.

Chris looks a little surprised at that.

Do you trust me? ’

I didn't even ask if it was real or sure.

"You believe in me, in my abilities. ’

A corner of my chest froze with pride.

It felt good to be recognized by someone.

Chris tries hard to hide his smile and looks at Roan.

“But this isn't a good place to party. ”

At that, Roan shakes his head with a bloody smile.

“It's the best place in the area. ”

He was obviously smiling, but he was worried.

‘First we'll have to ambush Mt. Flam Canyon, reconcile the Riten Forest, or confuse them in the first place. The problem is…..'

When the troops of Baalin left the canyon or forest and entered the field.

They say the Slaion River narrows the area, but the field is a field after all.

It was the perfect place for the Lofos to run wild.

By comparison, the allied troop configuration was close to the quartz.

‘The composition itself is robust, but it is less maneuverable compared to Orcs. ’

If the Battalion chose a breakthrough, not a battle, the emptied Castle of Beno could fall into enemy hands.

"That's not going to happen, but..."

It was only when I stepped up and revealed my identity.

Baalin's purpose will always be to avenge her husband.

‘Hmmm. What was the best way to deal with powerful enemies in the field.......’

Ian's tactics, as well as some of the great chiefs' tactics, were swirling around in his head.

But there was no tactic that came to mind or was captured.

At that moment, Rand grumbles, sighing, with his ears still standing by Chris.

“Tsk. If those Orcs had been a little more aesthetic, they would have built Saturn or Jupiter. ”

It didn't have to be a perfect castle.

If we built a long, solid wall on the other side of the river, the Orcs on Lofos would have stumbled without attacking.

“Son of a bitch, you can't build Jupiter in four days. We'd be lucky to have a proper camp. ”

Austin bruised his tongue.

Rand nods with a pointy look.

“I'm just saying. I think. Hmmm. ”

He clears his throat and stares at the void.

“A magnificent fortress falls from the sky. ”

When the horse goes on like that.

Roan's eyes widen with worries.

His gaze crosses Rand and heads for the field.

The landscape is still very relaxed.

‘That one.'

Roan smiles strangely.

“Rand.”

“Yes?”

Rand looks a little squeamish.

Roan nods, grabbing his shoulder.

“That's a great idea. ”

“Yes? What is it? ”

Rand frowns.

Roan smiles faintly and replies.

“Let's build a fortress in this field. ”
