I am the Monarch

< Chapter 13 War and War >

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

“Whew.”

Roan sighs a long time.

He sits in front of a small fireplace.

Tadak, tadak.

The summer is not over yet, but the hot flames are burning endlessly in the fireplace.

“Obviously, building Mana is much faster than Viete's. ”

Roan was practicing the Flemish Mana of Kwon King Raid.

It has been tapped into the fireplace to absorb a little more fire energy.

He slowly got up from his seat and loosened his wrist and ankle joints.

‘I would like to continue living in the barracks with my squad members, if I think so.......’

Unlike other exercises, the practice of the Flamdor Mana required a space of its own.

As a result of the medal award, Aaron and Gail got even a small, clean house near the Rose Base.

After seeking understanding from the squads, Roan moved into his own home.

Since then, he has been obsessed with practicing Mana, saving time to eat and sleep.

With a fireplace every day.

‘It's been three months since Phil left. ’

There were a lot of things going on in the meantime, but two things that were particularly important.

One was that Roan had begun to practice the Flamdor Manat and Raid laws.

The other was Kenis, the senior deputy, who served as the commander of the Roses' platoon.

Roan, who had already received the medal and received a first-class promotion, did the pole specs, but Gail was stunned.

Logic that we can't let a person awarded a Commander-Class Artificial Medal as a General Assistant.

I finally agreed to persuade him to join us here in Kenis.

‘Thanks to this, I was able to lead both the Spearman Squad as well as the Swordsman Squad and the Archer Squad. ’

Roan gave up trying to create a new form by mixing the squads together.

"The cavalry squad, the cavalry squad, and the extreme squad are under the command of the commander of Kennis. It can only cause confusion between the child squads. ’

He eventually decided to postpone the one-way reform and the troop reform.

“Whew.”

Roan takes a short breath and grabs Travis spear from his waist dance.

Chang!

As you spill the Mana, the spear reveals itself with a cheerful hiss.

‘Hmm.'

A stalk of Mana rises from the hall of your abdomen and reaches for your right hand.

Manaroed is well-drilled and well-drilled through the entire process.

Ugh.

Manga pours into Travis' spear, feeling his palms tickle.

Instead of lengthening or adjusting the thickness of the spear, Roan condensed Mana on the window blade.

Woof.

With a short vibration, there was a slight white glow on the rough window surface.

Roan spills Mana in a little more focus, but nothing else changes.

“Whew.”

Eventually, he takes a deep breath and recovers Mana.

Chang!

With an iron screech, Travis' spear returns to its iron bar.

‘For now, it is possible to put Mana on the window blade. ’

But compared to what Audrey Bladeney does, it's so insignificant.

‘To be clear, I just opened my eyes to managing Mana. ’

Nevertheless, the inspiration is that the Flamdor Manat Act of the Sovereign of Fire is great.

It was entirely due to the Flemish Mana method that Manat was able to be overlaid on the windshield after three months of practicing the technique.

‘One of the reasons I didn't become Duke Baker's apprentice. ’

No, the biggest reason that Roan didn't become a student on the rail.

He believed in the power of the Flemish Mana Act.

Although the Manat and Changing laws of the rails were powerful, they were nothing compared to Manat, one of the most powerful men in history.

‘It is rather unfortunate that I am unable to learn Baron Baker's spear, but I am still lacking in Flemish Mana. ’

Moreover, there were dozens and hundreds of real-world spears in Roan's head, although they were not Manat spears.

‘I don't think I can come up with something as great as Fields right now…..’

He was confident that gathering the advantages and compensating for the disadvantages of various spearheads would create a powerful enough spearhead.

Besides, most of all,

‘I have Reid's Law. ’

Roan thinks of mixing the rule of the Kwon and the actual spear.

Raid's rule that resounded across the continent should sufficiently compensate for the weaknesses and weaknesses of the spear itself.

‘The harmony of the law of creation and power. ’

Roan bites his lower lip.

"I'll show you a whole new spear. ’

He takes a deep breath.

If that had been the case, Phil was confident enough to overcome even if he had learned to use the spear of the rail.

‘First of all, Manat's law level is different. ’

Somehow my heart was pounding.

Now it really seemed like a different future than the last life.

‘By the way.......’

Roan bites his lower lip and opens his palm.

Everything was going according to plan, but there was only one thing that caught my mind.

‘Why does Mana glow white? ’

When I saw what had been written in the books of the Flemish Mana, the rumors, all kinds of foods, and the book of the Law of Flemish, Reid of Fire had to be red.

But Roan's Mana is rather white, almost transparent.

‘Mana's own attribute is definitely fire. I think it's just different colors.......’

So far, no problems other than color have been found.

Although it seemed slow to accumulate Mana, I had never compared it to other Mana laws, so I was not sure of that either.

‘Could it be the silver drops? ’

If it were the essence of water, wouldn't that energy be affecting Mana law?

I wasn't sure of anything.

‘First of all, it is unclear whether the silver droplet is an essence of water. ’

Roan takes a deep breath.

Problems that don't have an answer when I think about them.

"If we find Viete's piece, won't the question be solved? ’

He bit his lower lip.

You can't run to Lake Porsche and search for pieces of Viete right now.

For now, I've decided to wait until later.

‘There's nothing wrong yet…..’

In fact, there was something useful because the color of Mana had changed.

‘Because it is not red, people will never think it is Raid's Mana. ’

Last time, there was a war between the Rhine Kingdom and the Estonian Empire because of the Flemish Mana Act.

‘Maybe the war won't happen because Mana's color has changed. ’

Most people probably won't even notice that Ronan's Manat is the Flamdor Manat.

Duck. Duck.

Roan opens the door, gently loosening the joints around his body.

When things got complicated in my head, nothing was better than a hands-on exercise.

He takes a breath of cool dawn air and runs toward the East Gate.

The world is still dark.

Very early in the morning.

It's still a long time before sunrise.

Nevertheless, Roan's steps were straightforward.

Thanks to Calian's tears, the Darkness is not a problem.

He heads for a creepy clearing near the East Gate.

The gates on all sides are tightly closed because the sun is still early in the morning.

However, I could not practice Raid on the battlefield at the base of the unit.

‘There's no place like this. ’

Roan smiles as he looks around the vacant lot hidden in the shabby lung and dense trees.

He stands in the middle of a clearing and bends his knee slightly.

I twisted my torso slightly to the side as I rolled my hands slightly.

It's like I'm gonna punch you right now.

“Whew.”

After a long breath, Roan plunges into the ground.

Pavat!

At the same time, the two fists split the space without rest.

Spot!

Both legs move strangely and move quickly through the clearing floor.

Occasionally, a prickly kick resulted.

The Reid Act was more like a comprehensive technique.

In addition to punching, there were various skills such as kicking, poking, throwing, and beating.

And those diverse and powerful technologies were connected very efficiently to form one big technology.

‘I'm still learning beginner skills. To master both Intermediate and Advanced, Epic and Bizarre, you will need to do much more than that. ’

Of course, I had to spend that much time and effort in training Manat.

‘We're running out of time. ’

It was Roan who thought he wanted to have ten times as long a day these days.

Pavat!

Dark dawn.

Roan moves relentlessly in the darkness.

* * *

He didn't just spend time on personal training.

As commander of the Rose Army, he spent a lot of time training the Spearman Squad, the Swordsman Squad, and the Archer Squad.

In particular, he taught the 12-minute crew the latest training methods he knew, including dozens of incoming calls.

He also did not touch the squad member, but in the meantime he focused on organically helping and moving the spearers, the swordsmen, and the archers separately.

Half mimicked composite.

Flutter!

The rider wags two different flags roughly to the left and to the right.

For a moment, the squads are marching in formation, scattered in all directions.

Flutter! Flutter!

This time, the flags crossed.

Squads that had been scattered to the four sides seemed to have waited, began to form their original ranks again.

As Roan stands at the top of the training ground and watches the soldiers move, he nods with a delightful smile.

‘It's still basic, but everyone is adapting to the sign. ’

Thanks to you, we were able to quickly deliver a few simple but important commands.

“Retreat.”

As Roan gives the order, the rider waves his flag sharply.

Immediately, the soldiers running around the training ground retreat behind them as if the tide had fallen.

‘Good.'

When I'm proud of myself.

“Commander.”

One of the soldiers rushes in.

“What's going on? ”

At the sound of the burial, the soldier points to the troop entrance.

“Someone's here. ”

Roan waits for the next word.

"Chris," he said. ”

After that, Roan nods, smiling faintly.

‘Finally. ’

A month ago, I sent Chris a letter requesting a visit.

He has finally arrived at Beno Castle.

Roan gives the soldiers a resting order and moves quickly.

As I approached the entrance, I saw Chris wandering around.

“Chris. ”

“Ah! Deputy Roan. Oh, no, no, no. You were a commander.”

Chris smiles and bows his head.

“You've come a long way. ”

“No, I didn't. I was going to look it up. ”

At Roan's words, Chris waves his hand.

“Let's go to my place for now. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Roan and Chris walked together and asked each other how they were doing.

About the time the congratulations came for the promotion of Roan and the award of a medal, they arrived in front of a decent house.

“Let's go inside.”

Roan opens the door first and walks inside.

Chris follows behind and searches the inside of the house quickly.

Informational habits and habits.

‘A tremendous amount of books. ’

The house was very clumsy.

The right furniture was all beds, dining tables and chairs, and there was a huge amount of books in the rest of the room.

“Did you read them all? ”

Chris picked up a book and asked.

Roan shakes his head with a trustworthy attitude and expression.

“No, I haven't read half of it. ”

Awkward smile.

What he said was true.

A figure that was possible because at least that peninsula had a book I read in my last life.

I scraped books around because of my greed, but I didn't have much time to read because of my training and training.

And yet he never stops buying books.

‘If we get a little more structure later, we should teach the soldiers to write as well. ’

Roan knew it was one of the conditions of the Force.

He gives Chris a seat and brings him a cup of warm tea.

“You were surprised when you got my letter, right? ”

At Roan's words, Chris shakes his head.

“No. I was just on my way to see the commander myself. ”

“Is that so?"

“Yes.”

Chris picks out a block of paper with the answer.

“Do you remember those five young merchants I told you about in Mill last time? ”

“Yes, of course I remember. ”

Roan nods, handing over a bunch of paper.

Chris continued.

“Thio, Lydia, Eska, Nego, Ford over the past few months. We have invested continuously in five young merchants. ”

Roan listens quietly.

“Lydia, who is in the wood business, and Eska, who is in the dining business, are making a good profit. On the other hand, Mr. Thio from the transportation industry, Mr. Nego from the money industry, has yet to come up with something like this. Finally, Mr. Ford in the mining industry.......”

Chris shakes his head, smiling awkwardly.

“Looks like they blew up all their investment. Actually, it looks like a lot of money. ”

Roan nods silently.

I didn't think all investments would be successful from the start anyway.

That was not the point.

“What would Chris think of the future of five people? ”

Chris hesitated for a moment and replied.

“To be honest, though Mr. Thio, Mr. Nego and Mr. Ford are not doing so well..."

I felt a little empowered in my voice.

“I still think it's worth watching. ”

Confident eyes.

Roan nods.

He gets up from his seat and turns around in the wardrobe next to the fireplace, and then pulls out a large bag.

“I believe Chris' eyes. ”

Roan pulls out three pockets of pretty thick jewelry from his bag.

“Keep investing. ”

Chris shakes his hand with a slightly surprised look.

“You don't have to do this. One pocket is enough for Lydia and Eska as well. ”

He looks at the large pocket of jewels.

‘The last time you gave me a pocket of gems in Milr...'

It was when I received my first investment in Beno Castle.

I thought it was collecting prizes and salaries for non-work.

But the pouch of jewels from Mill and the pouch of jewels in front of your eyes.

‘Normal soldiers are not enough to gather. ’

At least a few years, at most a few decades.

‘By the way, I don't really know much about Commander Roan. ’

It's a shame to be a snitch.

‘But I don't want to dig behind you. ’

At least I wanted to hear the information about Roan in person.

‘That's right. ’

At that moment, you hear Roan's voice.

“No. One pocket of gems won't be enough. ”

He leans forward and whispers in a small voice.

“I have something new to do. ”

“Do... what do I do? ”

Chris asked as he spoke more and more.

Roan nods.

“First of all…..”

He smiles brightly and looks Chris straight in the eyes.

“We need to move Chris' travel agency to Faver Castle. ”

“To Faver Castle? ”

Chris asked with a slightly surprised look.

Roan nods slowly.

‘It's time to move on. No, it's time to move. ’

The reason why he returned to Beno Castle after obtaining Manat Law and the Law of the Sovereign of Fire.

It was because Roan remembered a lot of what happened in the eastern part of the Rhine Kingdom, but it was important for a different reason.

‘Soon there will be war. ’

It wasn't a man-to-monster war like this until now.

Human to human.

Kingdom versus kingdom.

The time has approached for the eastern border of the Rhine Kingdom to become hot.

Roan looks Chris straight in the eyes.

“We need all the information in the eastern part of the Kingdom at our fingertips. ”

That was the first thing to do.

Powerful voice.

Your eyes glow sharply.

“It's time to get moving. ”
