I am the Monarch

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

“Ugh.”

Mary makes a strange noise.

She looks at Roan with an unbelievable look.

That's the same with Walter.

"The same man who wore that tactic and slashed Baerlin's head? ’

I never heard of such a rumor.

Because the battle had just ended, it was missing more detailed and accurate content.

Roan smiles awkwardly at the look on his eyes.

He shrugs as he looks at Gail.

‘This will happen a lot in the future. ’

Gail just laughed that way.

Roan's gaze returned to Mary and Walter.

I just looked at the two of them face to face.

A moment later, Walter reaches out his hand, slowly regaining consciousness.

“Walter Orwells. ”

Roan bows, his hands clasped.

“I'm Roan.”

The right name has just begun.

“It's Mary.”

Mary also recovered her mind.

However, there was still a surprising look on his face.

‘I'm curious about something. ’

She actually had a personality in mind when she heard the rumors.

‘The tactician also grew a beard and looked like a very intelligent middle-aged man, and the soldier who cut his throat thought it was a big crooked mountain bandit. ’

Both of them were wrong.

No, I didn't expect two people to be one person in the first place.

Then you hear Gail's voice.

“Let's not just stand here. Let's go inside. ”

“Huh? Yes. Yes.”

Mary nods, but can't take her eyes off Roan's face.

So is Walter.

No, the same was true of Jane, who fell behind.

‘What a handsome young man. ’

Of course, Jane was thinking something completely different.

* * *

Gail leads Mary, Walter and Jane to their barracks.

Of course, Roan, who was the purpose of their visit, was also there.

Walter pours his questions out to Roan in fear of sitting down.

“Let's talk about some of the tactics you wore in the Battle of Slan. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

He uncovers the tactics and battle flows he had built for a while, as well as the countermeasures he had prepared for when expectations and other developments unfolded.

Every time, Walter had an overly straightforward reaction, either bursting his elasticity or nodding his head with a serious look.

“So they were prepared for this when they came out through the woods, not the canyons? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“Hmm.”

Walter pauses, tucking his chin.

After a moment, he looks at Roan and speaks with caution.

“But you know what? Your tactics are excellent, but I have some questions. ”

“I'll listen.”

“First of all, does the area use the Riten Forest as its main transportation route rather than the Flam Mountain canyon? ”

“That's right.”

“Then if you didn't deliberately smoke with the oil barrels, the troops would have gone through the woods. What if we placed a fortress made of wagons and fertilizer in the east of the Liten Forest and stopped them from coming out of the forest? ”

Walter looks into Roan's eyes.

“I'd say we're low on gas, but I think we'll soon hit them in the western entrance of Liten Forest and light them on fire. ”

Roan does not speak quietly.

Walter smiles faintly and gestures.

“I'm fine, so tell me what you think. ”

At that, Roan whispers in a small voice.

“It's a tactic worth considering. But Liten Forest is not a forest big enough to hold 2,000 troops. Therefore, in order to do great damage to the troops of Bavarian, we need to light them on fire the moment they enter the forest. To do that, you have to sprinkle oil from Premier to the west of Liten Forest. ”

A clear and powerful voice.

Roan continues to speak.

“But the oil we had was very cheap and bad. It smelled really bad. If I sprinkled oil on the western entrance of the Riten Forest, I could almost make the Lofos sniff it out and stop. In fact, even in this battle, Lofos reacted greatly to the smell of oil barrels. ”

Unlike what Lofos said, monsters resemble wolves and dogs.

I was quite sensitive to the smell.

“Ah.......”

Walter bursts into low elasticity.

Clearly, Lofos was able to detect the disgusting smell of cheap oil.

Walter slapped the end of the table with his finger.

“I see. I had no idea. So you're learning another thing. ”

Quick and honest recognition.

Roan was slightly surprised.

"Was there such a noble discipline? ’

I heard that he is a senior student at the Faculty of Academy of Knights and that he has a good family.

Moreover, I liked his appearance as well as his noble personality.

The Orwells. Of course I know, but why don't you remember Walter? ’

There was no Walter Orwells in Roan's memory.

Two cases.

‘I've lived a life that doesn't matter...'

Roan's gaze was on Walter.

‘He died early before he could even bloom. ’

Apparently, when I saw Walter now, it was probably the latter.

‘If you think about it, there are many geniuses who died without anyone knowing.......’

In addition to the talents that you know and are so successful that they are known in the world, many talents will die before they can even bloom.

‘In addition to the outstanding talent I have known in the past, I need to find even the unknown ones. ’

It was important to use future memories, but it was also important to create a new future with your own efforts.

When I thought about it, I heard Walter's voice.

“And one more thing. To set a trap in front of the cart fortress. ”

“Yes, after thinning the ground, I filled it with sand and water. ”

“Yes, that. If we could predict exactly where the Orcs would go and prepare for such a trap, wouldn't it be more effective to stick something like a spear, a sword, or a sharp piece of iron instead of water or sand? What do you think?”

Instead of answering, Roan looks a little surprised.

Then I made a bitter smile.

“I hadn't thought of that. I just thought I'd tie up Lofos' legs. I had no intention of causing any damage to the trap itself. ”

He lowers his head.

“I learned a lot this time. ”

“Really? Did I think better this time? Hahaha.”

Walter was happy with a big smile.

The expression on Gail and Mary's face that they were watching next to her changed strangely.

‘It's Roan. I'm familiar with his abilities, but Walter is great at his young age. ’

Gail's idea.

But Mary's thoughts were completely different.

"Is this something you would love to laugh about? ’

She couldn't understand any of the stories of tactics.

‘That's why, that's why. Is this a funny story? Still…'

Mary glanced at Walter's side.

‘I like it because Walter likes it. ’

The tail of the mouth went up by itself.

After a while, Roan and Walter were excited to talk about tactics and strategy.

When Gail was tired after decades on the battlefield.

Walter clapped his hands.

Even.

“The conversation today was very informative. I've learned a lot and learned a lot. ”

“I've learned a lot, too. ”

Roan bows.

Walter looks at Roan for a moment and says, "What a shame."

“Actually, I wanted to fight you when we were done. I wanted to see for myself what it was like to cut Baalin's throat. But.......”

He points fingers at Roan's chest.

Bandages wrapped around deep wounds.

“We can't fight the wounded. Speaking of which.”

Walter removes the small badge from his collar.

“Come find me at Faver Academy when you're healed. Then let's fight each other. ”

I did not fully suppress my curiosity and battle lust.

Mary, who was with her, said in a surprised expression.

“That badge is for each undergraduate student. Is that any way to give it to anyone? ”

Walter shakes his head.

“I'm not giving it to anyone. I'm not just giving it to anyone. Give it to someone who deserves it. ”

He points his badge at Roan.

Roan looks Walter in the eye for a moment and picks up his badge.

“I'll see you later. ”

“I'm waiting. ”

Walter stood up with a smile on his face.

He shakes his hand at Gail.

“I'm sorry to barge in on you like this. ”

Gail smiles slightly instead of answering.

Mary woke up from her seat and blinked her eyes.

“Are we done here? ”

“Yes. It's over. ”

“Then can I go? ”

“Yes.”

That said, Mary's face was filled with laughter.

The endless narrative of tactics, strategies, was very boring.

Then you hear Gail's voice.

“May I escort you to Iphen Castle? ”

Mary said that.

“Really? I'd like that. If not, a little fire.......”

That's when Walter stepped in.

“No, it's okay. ”

He shakes his hand and looks at Gail and Roan alternately.

“We're not done here before and after, but we can't just drop our forces like that. ”

As expected, the head of the knighthood is also like that.

Gail bows slightly.

“Thank you for your consideration. ”

On the way back and forth, Mary held out her lips.

“I'm not the only one who's grown up. I didn't need an escort. ”

She sticks her tongue out for Gail and then leaves the barracks with Jane.

When Walter saw that, he smiled and moved on.

Deputies, including Gail, Roan, followed behind Mary and Walter.

Mary notices Walter just before she leaves and whispers in a small voice so that only Gail and Roan can hear her.

“Mr. Rose. And Roan.”

Sweet voice.

“Well done, and thank you. ”

She winks at one eye and climbs into the wagon.

Walter shrugs as if to see what's going on, but Gail and Roan don't say anything.

Walter and Jane get back in the wagon, tasting as though he had no choice.

Heeheeheeheeheehee.

The wagon starts to move with the sound of horse crying.

Gail, Roan, and other deputies guarded the entrance to the camp until the wagon was invisible.

“Whew. But it's over. ”

Gail's voice sounded a little reassuring.

Roan nods, smiling faintly.

“Anyway, it looks like you're becoming famous. I've already seen rumors of the Battle of Slan spread. ”

In Gail's words, Roan just smiles.

“Aren't you going to visit the Earl later? ”

He slaps Roan on the shoulder with a chuckle.

At that time, Roan lowers his head slightly and speaks in a small voice.

“Commander Gail. ”

“Yes? Do you have something to say? ”

“Yes.”

Short answer.

Gail bends her head back and asks.

“What?”

At this point, Roan breathes for a moment, then takes a hard step out.

“I'd like to take a short leave of absence. ”

* * *

“You're really coming back, right? ”

Gail asked me again and again not to.

“Of course.”

Roan repeated his answer a dozen times.

The two of them are now standing in front of Aaron's office in the 7th Army headquarters.

Gail sighs deeply.

‘When I first heard that I was taking a break, I thought my heart was sinking. ’

Thanks to you, I grabbed Roan in front of the soldiers and shook all kinds of fuss.

‘Well, the twelve squad members were even bigger. ’

They took Roan's crotch and said they'd never let him go.

Even Chris took the squad's side before he left for Mills.

After being dealt with, Roan had to convince the squad members for four days after returning to the base.

After pledging to come back dozens and hundreds of times, the 12-minute members acknowledged and accepted Roan's leave.

Gail also confirmed and confirmed her promise to return, and then sent Aaron Aaron his request for leave.

"Did you say no seven times? ’

Aaron sent the tribe back with a leave of absence.

Aaron's response came back when he sent the eighth leave of absence.

< Enter the headquarters of the army. >

Gail and Roan stare at the locked door of the Oval Office.

“Shall we go in?"

Gail says Roan nods.

Yuck.

A huge wooden door opens wide with the sound of hinged units.

As he stepped inside the office, Aaron swung his head and looked at him.

Hard face and unusual eyes.

He comes as close as he can to Roan.

‘Ugh. Are you angry? ’

Gail, standing beside you, flinches and retreats to the side.

Meanwhile, Aaron arrives in front of Roan, frowning.

“You're really coming back, right? ”

So far, Roan has repeated the same answer to Gail and the crew of 12.

“Of course.”
