I am the Monarch

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

“The night air in the Rhine is lovely. ”

Luther Vale takes a deep breath.

I had a cool smile on my mouth.

‘It's a great day for a jog. ’

His gaze turns to the side of the mountain.

Hundreds of large and small barracks and an endless enclosure.

A faction of the Rhine Kingdom soldiers.

At first glance, it seemed solid, but Luthor could tell.

‘They must have fallen apart by now. ’

The Rhine Kingdom troops must be on their guard.

‘You'd think we'd all be exhausted. ’

You're welcome.

He didn't intend to.

‘Lightning Stones and ambushes are my specialty. ’

Eastel's thunderstorm.

That was Luthor's name.

Moreover, he had no choice but to conduct an ambush.

‘His Majesty wishes half of the occupied land to be the best subject of this war. ’

Half of the Eastern Rhine Kingdom.

Tom had to fly.

The commander himself was the reason for the assault, despite the vigilante.

“Commander, the assault is ready. ”

In the soldier's report, Luthor nods, smiling faintly.

‘Then, shall we run again today? ’

He heads towards the camp entrance.

Five thousand horsemen showed off their valiant power.

He gagged the horse and wrapped it in a cloth full of grass.

Luthor raises his right arm high.

“Show the people of the Rhine Kingdom the power of the Estelle Kingdom. ”

“Yes.”

Low response.

Strange tension flows through the wind.

“Charge!”

Luthor steps forward, gripping the wheel.

Dragging a horse around in case the hooves sound.

5,000 horsemen followed.

Five thousand horsemen.

The best number for an ambush.

‘I dig as hard as I can and then quickly retreat. ’

But it didn't end in one raid.

I was going to attempt a full-scale assault while the Reich forces were on the move.

‘I'll knock you out. ’

I smiled at Luthor.

He was happiest this moment.

Exciting excitement surrounded my whole body.

Suddenly, I saw a solid wooden fence in front of me.

‘Break through quickly. ’

Luther takes a deep breath on the horse saddle.

The same goes for the rest of the cavalry.

He unsheathes the muzzle tied around the horse's mouth and kicks it.

Two or two.

The horse raced so hard, it quickly jumped over the wooden fence.

Followed by 5,000 horsemen.

“Light it up! Run all you want!”

“Waaaahhhh!”

The cavalry that has been breathing so far has let out a shout.

You defeated the fireworks and set fire to a large and small barracks along the wooden ledge.

Stronger than ever.

But it didn't take long for me to feel that something was wrong.

“Huh?"

“Huh?"

The cavalry jumps up and down with a panicky look on their faces.

Static.

An ominous static hovers through the camp.

You don't see the guards running from the burning barracks, not even the guards and guards.

Shit! Something's wrong! ’

Luther also grips his teeth as he looks around.

Dozens and hundreds of barracks were burning down along the embankment, but the Reich Army was nowhere to be found.

At that moment, there was a sharp wave in his ear.

Idiot!

Arrow!

Luthor instinctively pulls him back to the back of the burning barracks.

At the same time.

Bubble Bug!

Arrows rain down on the cavalry.

“Knng!”

“Hehe!”

They looked like hedgehogs without even preparing. One by one they collapsed.

‘Dammit! The Lines are on the prowl! ’

Luthor clenches his fist in a wasteful manner.

“Retreat! Retreat! ”

The ambush was a failure.

Retreat was the only way to live.

“Retreat! Retreat! ”

The cavalry tugs at the top of the chasm.

They hurled down toward the camp entrance, avoiding the rain of arrows.

But...

“It was my choice when I came, but I need your permission when I go! ”

“Where are you going! ”

Thousands of spearmen and swordsmen flocked along the wooden ledge.

At the same time, horsemen appear inside the camp.

Perfectly surrounded.

‘Dammit, it's a retreat! ’

Luthor grips his teeth.

There was no way.

No, there was only one order he would give.

“Break through!”

We just have to break through the retreat and get back to the camp.

At Luthor's command, the cavalry begins to run towards the spearers and swordsmen.

Luthor also followed.

“Stop him!”

“Raise the pole! ”

“Stab the horse! ”

The spearmen of the Rhine Empire held the long spear upright and close together to maintain a dense formation.

Appearance to resist a powerful cavalry breakthrough.

Boom!

The Rhine Empire Army and the Istell Empire have collided.

Cham! Cham! Chang!

A flame strikes with the sound of iron.

The workshops of Iljin Ilayut unfolded.

The spearers and swordsmen are not easily pushed away.

Didn't even allow for a breakthrough.

Thanks to this, Luthor and 5,000 horsemen are trapped inside the camp.

Meanwhile, horsemen from the Rhine Kingdom invaded their rear.

“Let's show the Estellers the power of Rhynce! ”

“I'll send you to hell! ”

Screaming as much as I could.

The horsemen of the Rhine Kingdom have pushed the horsemen of the Easterl Kingdom hard.

The horsemen of the Estelle Kingdom have fallen without hesitation.

“Ugh.”

“Huff.”

A short horse burst from everywhere.

‘Dammit! Not like this! ’

Luthor grips his teeth and takes the lead.

“Damn it! Get out of my way! Out of the way!”

He slaughtered spearmen and swordsmen, pulling Mana as far as he could.

Snap, snap!

Mana's power was amazing.

Luthor deals with the able-bodied, ordinary soldiers like children.

Each time he swings his sword, one or two soldiers fall down, losing their heads.

“Move those who don't want to die! Out of the way!”

Luthor shouts as he raises his panic.

Some spearmen and swordsmen stagger back.

Fear of his overwhelming power.

"Common Soldiers cannot deal with the army commander who knows how to use Mana." ’

A short distance away, Roan bites his lower lip, dealing with ordinary soldiers.

If we leave him there, we'll only do more damage to our allies! ’

I couldn't let that happen.

He slashes the head of a charging cavalry and looks at Austin and Keefe.

“Austin! Keef! Make a platform!”

Austin and Keefe, who were dealing with the cavalry, understood Roan's orders at once.

The two of them tightly fastened their spears to each other's sides and looked at Roan.

Roan nods slightly and plunges into the ground.

A stalk of Mana blooms from Manahall.

The muscles of both legs twitched and burst with vitality.

Austin and Keefe bounced their knees, making eye contact.

One, two, three! ’

At the same time, Roan steps on two of their spears.

Pa!

Roan soars into the air with power and the reverberation of the spearhead.

Roan leaps lightly over the cavalry and flies toward Luthor.

“Huh?"

“Huh?"

Some horsemen in the Eastern Kingdom look surprised to see him.

Luthor, slaughtering the soldiers, finds Roan flying from his left side late.

“This is ridiculous...! ”

After it was too late, Luthor tried to pull out his spear to get at Roan.

Roan's spear pierces through the space and stabs him through the chest.

Damn it!

Luther inevitably twists his torso and dodges under the horse.

Squeak!

Roan's spear falls down as he dodges.

A spear deeply embedded in the horse's balance.

Heeheeheeheeheehee!

The horse cried violently and struggled.

Roan pulls out his spear and lands softly.

Meanwhile, Luthor, who was rolling the ground in a barren color, also corrected his posture, staring at Roan.

“Who are you? ”

“This is Roan, commander of the Roses Unit of the 7th Army. ”

“Commander? You're not a longtime man, you're a deputy minister? Hmph!”

Luthor slaps his longsword with a smile.

“Eastern Imperial Army First Captain Luther Vale will behead you. ”

He thinks he's making fun of Roan.

He would do the same thing himself, though he is a medium-level body, but he is familiar with Mana.

It was not something a normal soldier could handle.

Of course, this was a complete misunderstanding.

Ta-ah!

Luther quickly kicks the floor and rushes toward Roan.

It was dangerous to keep your distance from the spear.

Roan grips his teeth as he looks at the router running toward him.

‘When the enemy is careless, take him out with a swift blow. ’

He is currently unavailable to Mana.

Roan swings his spear with all his might.

It was not just the creation of practice, it was the creation of Roan.

Spot!

With sharp ripples, the window cracked open the space.

“Suck!”

Luthor lunges at you, swallowing the wind and wielding his sword.

Chang!

A cheerful hiss.

The spear bounces off to the side.

‘Heheh. As expected, Mana's power... ’

Roan grips his teeth, feeling clumsy.

But it wasn't unbearable.

I grabbed my arms close to my sides and pulled the spear that was bouncing off.

The wandering spear is once again drawn towards the Luthor.

Damn it!

Luthor wields his sword, gripping his teeth at the smooth running spear.

Cham! Cham! Chang!

A flame strikes with the sound of iron.

Suddenly it blows.

But Luthor digs his way into Roan's arms.

Tuck.

Finally, Luthor's right foot touches Roan's left foot.

“Die!”

The digging Luthor plunges the Longsword straight into your chest.

The moment of the incision.

However, Roan's expression was bold.

I've been waiting for this! ’

He spills Mana in both eyes.

Moment.

Pa!

The movement of the people slows down terribly, and the whole world turns golden.

A golden wave filled with sight was Mana.

Roan glances at Luthor's longsword as it plunges toward him.

‘This is how Mana moves. ’

While the level of accomplishment was still low and not everything could be clearly understood, it was possible to approximate Mana flowing from Luthor's Manahole to the Longsword.

Above all, the Mana flow of the atmosphere, which flutters with Luthor's movements, is clearly visible.

‘This ends here. ’

Roan already feels that his eyes are burning hot.

When I used even Mana to use Kalian's tears, my eyes became heavy.

He quickly twists his body, dodging Luthor's Longsword, and enters his arms.

Rrrrgh.

Very slow motion.

Roan himself has been pulling Mana up and moving, but the movement he sees in Calian's tears is slow enough to yawn.

‘Raid Law. ’

He holds the spear in his right hand and unfolds the rudimentary rule of Raid with his left hand.

Ugh.

A fist moving towards Luthor's abdomen.

“Rrrrgh.”

The sound of Luthor swallowing his moaning grows longer.

At the same time, he twists his shoulders in the direction he was stabbing the longsword.

Spaaaaaah!

Roan's fist barely grazes Luthor's abdomen.

At that moment, I saw Luthor's expression of relief in his eyes.

‘You don't have to like it that much. This isn't the end. ’

Roan swings his missing left hand and pushes his shoulders together.

At that moment, the center shifted and the whole body twisted to the left.

It looks like it will stay bent towards the ground.

Without embarrassment, Roan rotates his body by pulling his left hand towards his right flank.

At the same time, you wrap Luthor's two legs around your right leg.

Boom!

Luthor's leg is caught between his calf and thigh.

“Ahhhhh!”

Luthor's surprised voice grows long.

Roan pulls his leg as hard as he can.

Luther falls down unbalanced, unable to hold on much longer.

A slowly falling Luthor.

Then.

"Hehe!"

Roan blinks at the pain of burning eyes.

At that moment, the golden wave world returned to its original form.

Luthor collapsed slowly enough to yawn, but he collapsed in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

“Ugh.”

Luther was distracted.

‘Dammit! I can't believe you wrapped it around a bridge there. ’

An unexpected clash.

It's too dangerous! ’

He quickly turns around to get up.

At that moment.

Phew!

I felt a powerful shock on my side.

“Cough!”

I feel like my throat is breaking.

Roan kicked him in the side.

Luthor looks up at the sky and reaches over.

Chuck.

Roan aims at Luthor's neck with his spear.

Luthor looks like shit.

“Khh. Damn it. I can't believe I'm getting beaten up by a common deputy. ”

He sighs deeply.

“Hoo. Is this where the Istel storm stops, too?" ”

At this point, Roan empowers his clutches.

“I blew it where I shouldn't have blown it. ”

At the same time, the windshield moves.

Screaming.

After being incontinent in Luthor's neck, he was separated from his body.

After piercing his head with a spear, Roan leans high into the sky.

“Roan, commander of the 7th Troop Roses, beheaded the opponent! ”

A resounding voice.

“Huh? Captain Vale!? ”

“Ah……. ”

“Oh, my God. ”

The Eastern Empire, which was being pushed unilaterally, was greatly frustrated to see Luthor's neck.

The men who were dispatched to the end soon surrendered, throwing down their weapons.

“Hahaha! Roan! Victory, glory! ”

Aaron approaches on his horse.

Since then, I've seen other commanders.

They looked a little surprised when the attack came as Roan had predicted.

Aaron looks at the blazing fire, devouring the big and small barracks.

“Catch a fire! ”

If I had, the whole camp could have caught fire.

That's when Roan stepped out.

“Better catch a fire later. ”

“Huh?"

Aaron asks, "What does that mean?"

Roan gazes at the Easterl Kingdom army's camp in the field across the street.

“If you catch fire quickly, you may notice that the raid failed. Now, instead of catching fire.... ”

My voice went out of my mind.

“It's time for an ambush. ”

“Indeed. It should seem to them that our faction is in chaos. ”

Aaron nods.

Then, he prepared 5,000 cavalry men to lead Mendel.

Since then, more than 10,000 infantry have marched.

“Then we'll bite the horses' tails off and get going. ”

Mendel looks exhausted.

At that, Roan shakes his head.

“No. 5,000 cavalry should march on. ”

“At this rate? You want me to march on the enemy camp without biting my jaw? ”

At Mendel's burial, Roan nods.

“Our camp is already under fire. The Eastern Empire military will be watching. They think the assault was a success. Even though 5,000 cavalry approached their camp, the attacking allies returned.

You'd think it was. ”

“Ah! I see. It will be impossible to see the face of the cavalry on this dark night! ”

Roan nods.

“Yes, so the cavalry must be gagged at by the horses and then march quickly, pretending not to walk away, and then as soon as they enter the camp, set the area on fire and jump at will." ”

He then looks at 10,000 foot soldiers.

“Then the spearmen and swordsmen will overrun you. ”

Mendel nods quietly.

Aaron and the other captains, too.

“Do as Roan says. ”

On Aaron's command, Mendel lowers his head slightly and leaves the camp with the cavalry.

Two or two.

You hear a loud hoof.

At the same time, 10,000 spearmen and swordsmen leave the camp without a sound.

All covered with mud on face and armor.

Thanks to them, they are one with the darkness.

Of course, it was Roan who stood in front of 10,000 soldiers.

Sarsa sazah.

I've traveled through the long growing grass.

The cold night breeze caused a deep smell of blood.

By the time they got close to the Eastern Empire camp.

Glug glug!

A flame rises from within the camp.

A red glow spreads over Roan's eyes.

‘Now it's our turn. ’
