I am the Monarch

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

“Ow!”

Screaming hits your ear.

He walks with his throat cut off and falls down.

Clark strikes back, trembling.

‘Well, how.... ’

He couldn't believe the sight that opened before his eyes.

‘How can the Rhine Kingdom troops……. ’

They come at us with spears and swords.

Bloody and violent, they call themselves Rose-Unit soldiers from the Eastern Regiment of the Rhine Kingdom.

Why are you here? ’

That's what Clark wanted to shout.

‘I thought there were no troops stationed here...' ’

It was clear.

I studied and studied for over a month preparing for this war.

‘It's like you knew about our surprise attack. ’

Clark grips his teeth.

Upper and lower teeth collide restlessly.

I choked on the fear that I might die soon.

‘Damn. I wanted to take down Benno Castle sooner than anyone else. ’

I thought the Kingdom of Rhine would be unprepared.

It wasn't just Clark's idea.

Everyone thought so, and the war would flow unilaterally.

‘Wrong. We were wrong. ’

At that time, I felt a cool energy behind my stride.

Clark pauses and swoops back.

“Huff!”

At that moment, I saw a spear aiming in front of me.

Clark stoops to his knees, unable to bear it.

“Are you the commander of this unit? ”

The protagonist of the voice was the owner of the spear aiming at Clark.

Clark sits on the ground and looks up at him.

A young man with an athletic face but a wild charm somewhere.

He was none other than Roan.

“State your affiliation and name. ”

Roan brings the Spear to Clark's forehead.

“Hehe.”

Clark frowns.

He's already given up everything.

“This is Clark, commander of Pier Company of the 1st Fleet of the Eastern Empire. ”

Clark uncovered his affiliation.

‘You were a Peer Troop. ’

The soldiers surrounding Roan and others nodded, smiling faintly.

“Did you know we would invade? ”

Clark asked Roan and regretted it.

‘Now you ask me something useless that will soon die. ’

He smiles bitterly.

“Let's at least know the name of the man who hit me on the head. ”

Roan looks Clark straight in the eye and braces his wrist.

Ugh.

The spear rises toward the sky.

“My name is Roan. This is the commander of the Roses Unit of the 7th Legion of the Eastern Army. ”

At the same time, the spear falls down toward Clark's neck.

Clark closes his eyes to the sharp crack.

Screaming.

The spear slashes his throat in no time.

The body that lost its neck slows down slowly.

Boom.

Roan shakes his spear and spits out the blood.

The screams and hissing that were heard from everywhere are now silent.

‘The first battle is a complete battle. ’

I had a smile on my mouth.

It started well.

‘By now, the Eastern Army headquarters should have had news of the Eastern Empire's invasion. ’

At this point, even Benjamin can't sit on his ass like a fool.

‘Earl Lancefield's first move allowed me to plug the big holes in the defense line. ’

Aaron posted a report to Io instead of Benjamin, a crucial floater, who checked the situation on his own, then led the Knights and the Territorial Army ahead of him.

‘Still not enough. ’

We needed elite troops dispatched directly from the royal palace, including the Eastern army, to deal with the Eastern army.

‘Until then, I will endure. ’

I didn't need to complete the battle to wipe out my enemies.

We just need to hold them off so they don't march too far into the kingdom.

However, there was no time to spare.

‘Byron Kingdom troops must have started leaving too……. ’

They crossed the northern border, but they were marching across the eastern border.

‘To join the Estelle royal army. ’

Roan takes a deep breath.

‘The 3rd and 4th legions should do well...' ’

He faced Aaron head-to-head just before the war began, and at the end of the meeting, he devised a plan.

That is, while the Eastern Army is fighting the Eastern Empire, the Northeast Regiment, dominated by the Third and Fourth Regions, is fighting the Byron Empire.

Of course, I didn't ask you to take the big turn risking your life.

< Fight twenty times and lose twenty times. >

The objective is to draw Byron's forces deep into the eastern region.

There are two benefits to losing a battle.

‘Make them watch their backs. ’

But more importantly,

‘The supply line should be stretched as long as possible. ’

If we pull the Byron Empire deep into the Eastern region quickly, we'll have no choice but to draw further and further away from the military base behind us.

Because of the difference between the troop's advancement speed and the troop's movement speed.

This will make the supply ship longer and make the base less powerful.

That's what Roan wanted.

‘If the warriors of the north attack there.... ’

Byron's army will fall into chaos.

No, it wasn't enough.

‘An army without troops cannot continue the war. ’

Supply was one of the most important parts of war.

Of course, planning is not easy.

As soon as any little plan fell apart, the Kingdom of Rhine could have been like putting a tiger in the yard.

‘You have to play your part well. ’

At that moment, I heard a familiar voice behind my back.

“Roan. Victory. It's a victory.”

Turning back, Gail and Kenneth approach with a smile.

They are slightly inspired by a perfect victory.

“Where should I go next? ”

Gail looks over the battlefield and asks.

Roan replies calmly.

“We should wait until the information squad arrives. ”

“Ah, the intelligence squad. Yes, you should. ”

Gail nods with low elasticity.

He looks at Roan's face.

‘An information squad……. Was there anyone in the war who built and operated such a thing? ’

When Roan first suggested that we build an information squad, it didn't make any sense.

Because I thought it was enough to operate a conventional scout.

Moreover, he thought it was absurd to borrow a large number of soldiers and build a non-combat squad in a situation that was more disadvantageous to the Eastern Empire.

However, after building an information squad according to Roan's opinions, I was forced to admire their role.

‘We don't have all the information, but we are able to keep track of the movements of the main troops. ’

It was also the strength of the intelligence squad that was able to ambush this peer unit's route in advance.

He looks at Roan with an astonishing look.

‘He's staring at me like that again...' ’

Roan looks away, smiling awkwardly.

That's how everyone looked at themselves these days.

Admiration, admiration, admiration.

And of course, sometimes there was jealousy and jealousy and irritability, but that's a fraction of it.

Roan had overwhelming support from everyone.

‘Anyway, I think it's a good thing you built an intelligence squad. ’

In the beginning, I was going to use Chris and Chris Travel Agency staff to gather and analyze information during the war.

However, it is extremely dangerous for ordinary people, not soldiers, to enjoy the battlefield.

That's why I created an information squad by selecting soldiers who were both vulnerable and quick to notice.

‘Mr. Pence is leading the way. ’

The commander of the intelligence squad was not a soldier, but Fence, an employee of Chris Travel Agency.

"At the end of this war, we need to make the Chris Travel Agency a full intelligence organization. ’

The importance of information is increasingly emphasized.

Before that, I needed more systematic organisational management.

‘The time has come for us to launch the Agency. ’

The best intelligence organization that held all the information on the continent in its last life.

Agents.

Now is the time to take that first step.

* * *

Chris's travel agency and intelligence squad have identified the prince of the Eastern Royal Army.

Luckily, their movements were no different from Roan's.

Information collected by Roan's memories, Chris travel agencies, and information squads.

The two were combined to create more accurate and valuable information.

Thanks to this, the 7th and 3rd legions were able to establish a camp in advance on the Eastern Empire's attack route.

After three days of setting up the encampment and building a solid camp, the Eastern Empire appeared across the field.

That number is 80,000.

By comparison, there were only 30,000 troops, including the 7th.

“That's enormous.”

Aaron sticks his tongue out for the good of the Eastern Imperial Army.

The other commanders swallowed dry water.

Fortunately, the location of the three factions, including the 7th legion, is good.

No, actually, the Eastern Kingdom troops' camp was not in a good position.

They had no choice but to settle in the middle of a vast field, as the Rhine Empire army already had a camp.

“As reported by Roan and the intelligence squad. ”

Aaron glances at the end of the field with a satisfied expression.

He once again admired Roan's ability and grace.

Mendel shows his urgent expression.

“Commander.”

The commanders, including Aaron, turn their heads and look at Mendel.

Mendel said with a stiff expression.

“30,000 Eastern troops have arrived in the neph region. ”

Neph is one day away from Vink.

“Ah……. ”

The commanders look relieved with low elasticity.

However, Mendel's expression was still hard.

Aaron didn't miss it.

“Something's come up. ”

“That……. ”

Mendel hesitates, chewing his lower lip.

Then, I replied with a slightly reminded voice.

“The Eastern Army has set up camp in the Neph region. ”

The commanders frowned for a moment.

“What?! ”

“Excuse me?”

Unbelievable face.

I can't believe an ally is already building a camp about a day behind Vink.

I couldn't understand it at all.

“Captain Aaron. If the Eastern Army headquarters has set up camp in the Neph region, shouldn't we step back? ”

“Huh. You think that makes sense? Will the enemy just sit by and watch as we retreat to Neph? ”

The battalion captains were obsessed with worrying about each other.

It's the same with Aaron.

‘Benjamin Doyle. You're a real pain in the ass. ’

Benjamin is ambitious and scared.

He must have been terrified by an army called the Estelle Empire's 80,000 troops and set up camp behind him.

Retreat or stay where you are? No matter what you do, it's not pleasant. ’

Then you hear Mendel's voice.

“Why don't you call Roan? ”

“Roan?”

Aaron turns his head to look at Mendel.

Mendel nods, swallowing his thirsty nose.

“Yes. Wouldn't Roan have a better idea? ”

“Mmm-hmm. Right. If it's Roan... ”

Aaron nods, touching his chin.

“Very well. Bring me Roan. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Mendel lowers his head deeply and steps out.

The legendary commanders stared at Aaron.

“Who's Roan? ”

“I think I've heard that name before.... ”

“Ah! Did the soldier who received the Commandant's Medal of Honor...? ”

Aaron nods.

“That's right. The Eile Canyon Battle, the Fedian Plain Monster Extermination, the Battle of the St Forest, the Operation of the Frélly River, the Battle of Slan, and the invasion of the Eastern Kingdom and Byron Kingdom." It was the commander of the Roan regiment who established a revolutionary specialty in all of these battles.

Eo. ”

“Ah……. ”

The commanders burst low resilience.

Tactics, power outage, right? ’

‘I heard spear skills are great too. ’

‘Rumor has it he's made an alliance with Earl Rail Baker. ’

The commanders glanced at each other and smiled in anticipation.

After a while, Roan and Mendel show up, opening the door to the barracks.

"Is this the young man who was raised by Roan? ’

‘It's much smaller than I expected. ’

‘I've heard he's young, but he's a real boy. ’

The smile on the commanders' faces gradually fades.

Instead, I felt anxious.

‘At first, so did I. ’

Aaron looks at him and smiles bitterly.

‘But soon you will be amazed at Roan's ability. ’

Just like old self.

“You summoned me.”

Roan makes his way to Aaron.

Aaron nods and informs you that Benjamin has set up camp in Neph.

Roan bows his head with a bold expression.

‘Benjamin Doyle. You're making it really hard. ’

However, Benjamin was somewhat anticipating that he would set up a separate camp behind him.

‘The question was whether the Eastern Imperial Army was able to establish a camp here in Vink, according to an analysis of the intelligence division. ’

Results.

‘Fortunately, it is as we predicted. ’

Then there was nothing to worry about.

“It's not good. What's the best way to do that? ”

Aaron's question.

Roan replies as if he was waiting.

“We need to prepare for an ambush. ”

At that moment, all of the commanders, including Aaron, frowned.

“Ambush?”

“Ambush?”

“Are you suggesting that the Easterl Kingdom troops are attacking? ”

They kick their tongues and burst into laughter.

‘Rumors get exaggerated... …. ’

‘The majors we've built must have been swelled up too. ’

The commanders shake their heads at Roan.

Philip Haas, the fifth most experienced of them, put his tongue to rest.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Hey. Did you know that the Eastern Imperial Army crossed the border before Ahre? ”

“Yes, I know. ”

Roan bows.

It was he who reported that the Eastern Empire army had crossed the border.

Philip is a bruised horse.

“An army of 80,000 appeared in Vink, here in the Gulf of Ahre. Pretty fast, or unimaginably fast. ”

“That's right."

The other commanders nod, slapping their heads.

Philip looks directly into Roan's eyes.

“This means that they traveled day and night with minimal sleep and minimal food. It was a hell of a enforcer. As soon as they have a camp, they try to attack? Do you think that makes sense? ”

The laughter was powerful.

The other commanders soon burst into laughter.

“Hahaha. You don't know this because you've never been in a war this big. ”

“By the way, your specialty has been stacking up against those ignorant monsters. ”

Spilling ridicule.

However, there was no change in Roan's expression.

He points his finger at the end of the field.

Easterl Kingdom Army Faction.

“Look at their camp. ”

That said, the commanders stopped laughing and turned their gazes to look at the Eastern Kingdom troops' camp.

80,000 troops are spread out and encamped.

“Even though the enemy's troops are great, the camp's shell is too loose. This is like building a camp all the way. ”

It was true what Roan said.

Despite the fact that the troops are so large that it's difficult to have a camp in one place, the Easterl Kingdom troops' camp now appears to be too unsettling.

Aaron mutters with a haunted look on his face.

“That feels like a temporary setback. ”

At that, Roan nods.

“That's right. They don't intend to stay here long. ”

Then you hear Philip's voice.

“Huh! You think they'll attack just by looking at the camp? Is that the only reason? ”

He kicks his tongue and shakes his head.

The other commanders don't like it either.

However, Roan's expression was still discouraging.

He hands Aaron a pile of paper.

“Would you like to take a look at this? ”

“What is this? ”

“Here's the information about the Eastern Royal Army's longtime veterans. ”

At that, Aaron looks a little surprised and looks at the blob of paper.

‘When did this... …. ’

The paper contained information about key members of the Eastern Royal Army.

Of course, it was not detailed and thorough information.

Approximate appearance and personality.

It describes what you majored in in during the battle.

‘Internal information could not be collected, so it was written based mostly on the stories of the people of the Estelle Kingdom, but that turned out to be quite good information. ’

In preparation for the war, Chris and Chris' travel agency gathered this information in person as they circled the western part of the Eastern Kingdom.

To do this, I roamed bars, plazas, markets, and slums and brothels.

The newly released intelligence squads have been pursuing the prince of the Estelle Royal Army and have been tasked with identifying how many longevity men resemble the outward appearance of the report.

“Captain Aaron. What are you so surprised about? ”

“Let me see. ”

The other commanders cling to Aaron.

“Ugh!”

“This is amazing. ”

The commanders soon swallowed up the false wind.

Roan speaks out as if he was waiting.

“Luther Vale is the current foreman. As you can see by looking at the report, he……. ”

The commanders' gaze is on Roan.

“He's very aggressive. Luther Vale has attempted several surprise and ambush operations in the war against the Aymas Alliance. ”

Everyone nods.

It was clearly written in the report.

‘In fact, the last time I lived, Luther Vale undertook an ambush on the first day I met the Rhine Army. ’

Even though the timing was different from now, Luthor was a longtime man with that personality.

Longevity Tendency and Deployment of Factions.

From that to Roan's memory.

The possibility of an ambush was sufficient.

“Hmmm.”

Philipp coughs again.

A somewhat cool face in the middle of nowhere.

“So, you're saying we should prepare for an ambush? ”

It was not a big deal to prepare for an ambush anyway.

Moreover, I was prepared and nothing happened.

‘If they insist here for no reason and then attack us...' ’

Rather, he could have taken heavy damage.

The commanders, including Aaron, Philip, look at Roan.

Roan glances at them, shaking his head.

“No, we have one more thing to prepare for. ”

Philip frowns.

“There's more to prepare? ”

“Yes.”

After a short answer, Roan takes a deep breath.

He wanted to bring the tide of this war to the Rhine Kingdom.

Roan looks at the commanders and speaks.

“We need to prepare for a counterattack. ”
