I am the Monarch

Chapter 14 Crisis in Crisis >

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

Roan knew why this damn war was happening.

War between the Kingdom of Rhine and the Kingdom of Istel.

Immediately after this war called the Rhinestell War in his last life, the Rhines Kingdom, along with its post-war treatments, analyzed and organized the reasons, processes, and outcomes in detail.

'The Eastern Territory, including Earl Lancefield, was nearly taken by the Eastern Kingdom of Istel. ’

In the process, several facts were revealed that Roan remembered some of the information.

One of them is why this war is happening.

‘Suddenly, last year, grain production started to decline. ’

The entire plains kingdom of Estelle was one of the best agricultural countries on the continent.

They exported agricultural products and imported deficient forestry and minerals to build a royal home.

The enormous grain productivity was like the foundation of the Estelle Kingdom.

Last year, however, grain yields decreased rapidly for no other reason.

‘I barely survived a year.......'

This year's crops were no better than last year's.

Rather than importing the forestry and minerals needed through trade, we have to worry about royalty right now.

Again, the reason is unclear.

Moreover, grain yields such as the Rhine Kingdom or Byron Kingdom facing the border did not seem to diminish.

At this point, the Eastern Kingdom had to make a decision.

It was also difficult to expect aid from the surrounding countries.

‘Eventually, they chose war. ’

Plains with no decrease in grain yields and a mountain range of minerals and forest products, not a large scale.

They were aiming for the eastern part of the Rhine Kingdom.

Judging that the urgent fire can be extinguished once the Eastern region is occupied.

I hear Aaron's voice as I think about it.

“This is your chance to end the war? ”

“That's right.”

Roan replies with a calm expression.

Aaron nods, swallowing his brow.

“Good. Let's move to hear the details. ”

He took a big step soon.

Roan follows behind with a bold expression.

At Aaron's behest, the seventh platoon chief and the commanders of each region gathered at the battalion commander's barracks.

“Roan. What do you mean, we have a chance to end this war? ”

Aaron's words.

Some of the commanders opened their eyes wide.

“A chance to end the war? ”

“What chance do you have in a yard where you can't fight a princess? ”

Surprising expressions.

Roan glances at Aaron, the chief of staff, and the commanders, then opens his mouth.

“First, we need to know why the Eastern Kingdom is at war. ”

He explained the decrease in grain output in the Easterl Kingdom for a while.

“Hmm. What a situation to worry about with such a great agricultural nation in the middle of it…..”

“That said, grain prices have skyrocketed at the Eastern Kingdom's border market recently. I thought it was a temporary phenomenon.......”

The chiefs and commanders reacted in different ways.

Aaron shakes his head, touching the tip of his chin.

“Mmm-hmm. Sudden reduction in grain yield, why is that…..”

Roan has not had much of a reaction.

‘The reason for the dramatic reduction in grain yields is that two years later.......’

I didn't have to talk about it here.

Roan looks at their faces and says,

“As I said, the Eastern Kingdom has a bad food situation. We barely have the supplies we need for this war. ”

Everyone nods.

‘Probably plundered the royal kitchens. ’

When I heard the situation, it was still there.

‘That's why you came forward and backward without thinking. ’

Advance to the forces of the Estelle Kingdom with incomprehensible forces.

The reason is now known.

“Therefore, the Eastern Empire army is incapable of sustaining the war for long. ”

I felt a little bit of strength in Roan's voice.

“That's because before the war, we introduced the people of the border to the rear, and we did the Cheongya operation. ”

Gail clapped her knee.

“Yes! With all the food and household goods, including livestock and iron, moved to the rear.......”

Mendel received the rear horse.

“The Estellers won't get a mound of food from the occupation. ”

“You can't even repair a bottle or supply it. ”

The commanders nod, smiling brightly.

I smiled at Roan.

‘In my last life, I was completely unprepared for the invasion of the Eastern Kingdom. That's why.......’

Most of the eastern region was taken away in an instant.

The Estelle Royal Army was able to transport food and supplies smoothly from the occupied locations, and the war grew exponentially longer.

‘Before the elite troops of the Central and Confederate troops came. ’

But in this life, it was different.

The progress of His Holiness, the Royal Highness, was already blocked once and the other Tributes were delayed because of the actions of the regional troops who were preparing for it.

Nevertheless, it was true that the Rhine Empire forces were pushing back gradually.

‘The only thing they can get from the occupied is weeds. ’

Roan bites his lower lip.

That's when I hear Richard leading the Special Forces.

“If we don't have enough enemy force, do we want to block the lines and go to the long war? ”

At that, Roan shakes his head.

“If our kingdom only confronts the Estelle Kingdom, then yes. But we had another one. ”

Aaron takes the hint.

“Byron Kingdom. ”

Roan nods.

“Yes, that's right. The Byron Empire is now south along its eastern border. ”

Everyone's face is stiff.

“If the war continues in the long run and the Byron Empire joins the Estelle Army, the problem becomes more serious. ”

“Of course. Even the Eastern Empire's military problems will be resolved somewhat." ”

Moreover, the power of the two kingdoms combined.

It was a must for the Rhine Kingdom to avoid.

“So what do you want me to do? ”

“What chance do we have of ending a war? ”

Some of the more urgent commanders scold Roan.

Roan looks them in the eye and replies.

“To end this war.......”

Both eyes sparkled and glowed.

"We need to disconnect the enemy supply ship and burn the arsenal. ”

The commanders reacted in a number of ways.

“Oh, yes! ”

“With the military looting, the Estelle Empire army won't be able to survive the war. ”

An admirable and surprising class.

“If you want to disconnect a supply ship and burn a supply depot, can you do that with an army of more than 80,000 troops?" ”

“And don't you know that the Eastern Empire troops are marching in the backyard where they already occupied it? ”

“How do I locate the reservoir? ”

The kind that pops the question.

Roan smiles faintly at the reactions.

He soon pulled out a small piece of paper from his chest.

“I was using the intelligence squad to find enemy supply ships and reservoirs. Until now, Bunn has been in ruins, but fortunately, just before arriving at the Eastern Armed Forces headquarters, he was able to receive a pleasant report. ”

Roan hands the paper to Aaron.

Aaron makes a quick sweep of the brief on the paper.

“You found one of the Istell imperial supply ships! ”

The commanders, who were making a long face, opened their eyes wide.

“Yes?! ”

“Is that true?! ”

They approach Aaron and examine the contents of the paper.

Aaron was right.

Although small, the paper lists the location of a military supply ship for the Easterl Kingdom troops.

“Attacking enemy supply ships and reservoirs rather than confronting 80,000 enemy bases. ”

Roan speaks in a powerful voice.

“This is your chance to end the war. ”

“Ah.......”

Low elasticity flowed from place to place.

‘I can't believe they're looking for the location of the enemy supply ship.......’

As part of the 7th legion, Roan has been relentlessly confronted by the Istell imperial forces.

Moreover, he met his standards and prevented the attack. Instead, he attacked the station and inflicted great damage.

The battle rages on and on without a moment's rest.

Meanwhile, Roan was leading a separate intelligence squad to search for enemy supply ships and reservoirs.

This is what everyone was amazed about.

“What are the chances this information is true? ”

To Aaron's question, he answered with a confident expression.

“Very high. ”

I had to be tall.

It was also information that was found by Chris Travel Agency and intelligence squads, but it also contributed to Roan's memory.

He remembers the location of the Eastern Royal Army's military reservoir very vaguely.

‘It wasn't an exact memory, so I needed to confirm it. ’

Confirmation of Chris Travel Agency and Information Squad led to the discovery of a small military supply ship.

‘If we search the area around this supply ship, we should be able to find a supply depot. ’

I had a smile on my mouth.

‘Then we can end this war with our own hands. ’

But there was something I had to do before that.

“As you may have noticed from the intelligence squad, the Easterl Kingdom troop supply ships are at enemy occupied locations. We must break through the front and advance towards the rear of the Eastern Empire. ”

“Hmm.”

Everyone swallowed the moan.

Roan's words continue.

“An army of 10,000 won't be able to move through the territory occupied by the enemy. ”

“Are you suggesting we split up our forces? ”

Aaron gives you a nod.

“Yes, we need to divide them into minimum unit units. ”

The horse speeds up a bit.

“In addition to units that form small units and attack supply ships, you should scout enemy occupied locations to eliminate enemy tributaries or gather information about military supply ships and reservoirs. ”

All the chiefs and commanders nod.

Aaron takes a moment to think things through and wakes up.

“Good. We regroup, as Roan says. ”

It was a dangerous operation.

But if we succeeded, we could end this war.

“The first supply line discovered by the intelligence squad will be taken care of by the rose squad. The rest of the troops focus on scouting enemy occupied locations and locating military supply ships and reservoirs. ”

Aaron looks directly at the commanders' faces.

“Everyone, get ready to march! ”

“Phew!"

The commanders left the barracks as soon as they were ordained.

Roan also attempts to follow Gail's lead.

“Roan.”

Then I heard Aaron's voice.

Aaron grabs his sheep's shoulders.

“I did something big again. ”

A sincerely grateful expression.

“When this war is over, I will reward you greatly. ”

At that, Roan lowers his head slightly.

"When this war is over......."

It was complicated in my head.

This fall was already coming to an end.

When winter came and next year, Roan had to walk a new path again.

‘Cause that's what I came back to the East to do. ’

To do that, of course, everything had to go according to its plan.

Roan grips his teeth.

‘Let's lead this war to victory. ’

That's the most important thing right now.

* * *

“Huff!”

A soldier collapses with a choking sound.

Squeak.

The spear that pierced his body returned to its original position.

“Whew.”

The owner of the window takes a short breath and looks around.

There were hundreds of bodies lying around in the canyons.

‘This battle is also won. ’

Calm eyes.

Such a fluffy face.

The broker with the slightest face was Roan.

‘It's already the thirteenth battle. ’

Rosebushes roam the eastern region and battle the Eastern Kingdom troops.

No, precisely. They were raiding a small and large military supply depot in the Estelle Kingdom.

That's thirteen times now.

“Roan.”

I heard a familiar voice.

I turned my head and Aaron, Mendel and Gail were approaching.

“This battle is also won. ”

Aaron had a joyful look on his face.

Gail fights back.

“Hahaha. Rumor has it the Istel royal army is in a great state of panic. ”

“It's the only way. They have all the food that needs to go down their throats in our camp. Hahaha!”

Mendel smiles and rejoices.

Roan's operation fits perfectly.

‘Regroup 10,000 troops into small troops and raid the Eastern Empire's occupied locations. At the same time, locate enemy supply ships and reservoirs. ’

The Eastern Empire was dominated by the actions of the 7th legion.

‘I was able to loot quite a lot of supplies for each unit. ’

Although the Wave 1 and Wave 2 arsenals have not yet been found, they are being severed vigorously by large and small arsenal supply.

By doing so, various troops from the Eastern Region of the Eastern Kingdom were in trouble.

“Hahaha! I'm so relieved to think of these Easthlings starving themselves. ”

Everyone burst into laughter with great joy.

However, for some reason, Roan's expression was not very bright.

‘Definitely a great achievement. But now we have to find the munitions depot. ’

It was the only way to inflict heavy damage on the Eastern Empire troops.

However, none of the 7th Army's troops have found the weapons depot yet.

Aaron looks at Roan's face and asks with a bold voice.

“Why is your face so hard? Is it the Eastern Military? ”

Benjamin led the Eastern Military base on a battlefield.

The situation caused the front to be pushed towards the Rhine Kingdom.

Roan shakes his head.

“No, I'm not.”

“So it's the arsenal, too? ”

Roan was unable to answer the repeated questions.

Aaron grabs Roan by the shoulder.

“Roan, there's no need to rush it. That's quite an accomplishment right now. The Eastern Kingdom troops are slowing down. ”

Mendel and Gail nod.

However, Roan's expression rarely brightens.

‘If time goes on like this, Byron Kingdom forces will join the Eastern Empire forces. ’

As much as the two kingdoms were united, we had to stop them no matter what.

At that time, the man with the familiar face appeared among the soldiers.

Was he a soldier in the Special Forces? ’

He was a young soldier in a special forces unit led by Richard.

The young soldier comes forward with a bright expression.

“Chung! Commander. This is a letter from Commander Richard. ”

He pulls out a piece of paper from his arms.

Aaron makes a quick sweep of the contents of the paper.

“Ah.......”

Low elasticity.

At the same time, the tail of the mouth went up.

“What does it say? ”

Mendel cautiously asked.

Aaron takes a moment to breathe, then calmly speaks.

“They finally found it. ”

“Yes? What is it.......”

Gail frowns.

Aaron smiles brightly, gazing directly at Roan.

“I found the enemy's arsenal. ”
