I am the Monarch
Chapter 14 Crisis in Crisis >
------------------------------------
The 7th Troops are hiding in the hillside, at night.
That number is almost 4,000.
So far, he has moved into small units, but half the troops have gathered to attack the military reservoir.
“This is where the Estellers' armory is? ”
“Yes, that's right. ”
In Aaron's question, Richard nods with a confident expression.
“During a reconnaissance mission, I found five wagons moving around in the middle of the night. I felt something strange, and I chased after him, and he came out of here. ”
Where they look down is a vacant place surrounded by mountains.
The clearing was fairly wide and flat, for being located in the middle of the mountain.
There was only one entrance to the depression in the shape of a jar.
However, the inside of the vacancy was hidden by dense trees.
Around the entrance is a wooden ledge and a crude watchtower.
Inside, you find dens of random construction and massive tents.
Beneath the tent, which was open to each other, was a heap of heavy sacks.
It was almost a thousand or more supplies in the cart when I looked at it roughly where it was invisible.
‘This is the remaining amount for the two armies. ’
Aaron smiles.
Richard points to the pile of sacks.
“That's the army of the Estelle Kingdom. ”
Mendel, who was next to you, mutters in surprise.
“I didn't realize this place existed, by the way. ”
In response, Roan nods, situated next to Aaron and Richard.
‘This is an unexpected place. The best place to store rations undetected. But.......’
Obviously, many advantages were distinct places.
There was only one way in and the path down the mountain was wide, making it suitable for carrying supplies.
There was just one big problem.
‘It's too far from the wire. ’
The Eastern Imperial Army is already advancing pretty far west.
‘To keep the force safe.......’
There's nothing good about a long supply line.
Roan stares at the entrance to the reservoir.
At that moment, the entrance area looked magnified.
Soldier guarding the entrance.
Traces of the wagon coming and going.
There was nothing strange about any of it.
‘Am I worried too much? ’
Then I heard Aaron's voice.
“Approximately how many troops are guarding the reservoir? ”
Richard and Mendel sweep through the clearing.
“It's hard to see exactly from here, with only a lookout at the entrance and a wooden fence, and it looks like there are roughly 500 troops in sight. ”
Aaron frowns.
“Five hundred.......”
Only 500 men at the entrance.
Judging from the size of the interior, there should be at least three or four ships.
“Approximately 1500 to 2000. ”
Everyone nods in Aaron's prediction.
Enemy troops, two thousand.
On the other hand, there were four thousand of us.
“Well done, Richard. ”
Under Aaron's supervision, Richard lowers his head, smiling gladly.
“I just got lucky. ”
Not too modest.
But Richard's balls were actually quite big.
Even so, the Eastern Empire military has been extremely vigilant since the military supply lines were raided several times.
They drastically reduced their supply supplies as they became aware of the slowing of the advance of the frontline troops.
In the middle of the night, a small amount of supplies were quickly supplied.
Thanks to this, the 7th Army is taking longer and longer to identify the supply lines.
Meanwhile, Richard's Special Forces uncovered the enemy's arsenal.
It was a ball worthy of being trifled with.
Aaron looks back at the commanders and speaks in a small voice.
“Hit and get out as soon as possible. ”
“Yes, I understand. ”
As the enemy occupies, it was impossible to steal that amount of energy.
It was better to burn everything and retreat quickly.
Aaron makes one eye contact with Roan, Richard and Mendel, then stands up on his feet and shakes his right hand.
The standby rider swings his flag.
At the same time, the archers put out a vigorous protest.
Idiot!
Thousands of arrows split in the wind with sharp ripples.
Furverbuck!
Arrows rain down on the parapet, the tent, the watchtower and the wooden ledge.
“Huff!”
“Grrrgh!"
Estelle soldiers stand guard and fall like hedgehogs.
The 7th Company fires a few more arrows before hitting the ground.
“Capture the armory! ”
“Kill him!”
An army of four thousand pours out of the thick forest.
They rush towards the right-wing Estelle soldiers.
“Ugh!”
“Huff!”
The Estelle Soldiers collapse into a cold corpse, unable to resist once.
Boooooo!
All they did was honk the horn in succession to alert the enemy to the invasion.
The battle was very one-sided.
“Don't spare a single one! ”
“Don't miss out! ”
The 7th Troop soldiers push through the entrance with fierce force and advance deep into the reservoir.
But for some reason, I don't see any more enemies.
Later, Roan frowns.
‘There are too few troops guarding the reservoir. ’
The number of enemies we anticipated in the first place is 2,000.
However, the ones guarding the reservoir were all 500 guarding the entrance.
The Eastern Empire Army was not in good standing.
How difficult it is to sustain the war for long.
And you run a military storage facility like this? ’
That can't be right.
‘Something's wrong.......’
A feeling of anxiety that made me feel uneasy in a corner of my mind.
“Roan, what's wrong with your face? This battle is also won. Finished.”
Aaron smiles brightly.
At that moment, a sack filled with empty space entered Roan's gaze.
That's it!
An unpleasant, anxious heart.
He quickly ran and tore the sack.
Larynx.
What came out of the sack was greased weeds.
Roan yells at Aaron.
“It's a trap! We have to evade it now.......”
When the horse goes on like that.
Something came into his eyes.
An arrow that cuts through the blue sky.
Roan looks at the end of the arrow.
Thanks to Calian's tears, everything in the world has slowed down.
Peek-a-boo!
An arrow that flies very slowly through space.
At the end there was a small flame burning.
Peek-a-boo!
Dozens and hundreds of arrows are visible behind the first arrow.
Roan's face is stiff.
He shouted with a loud voice.
“Move!”
I hear voices growing.
The soldiers look around, puzzled by Roan's shout, and soon they hit the ground.
Roan also flew away, grabbing Aaron by the neck.
At the same time, the slow movement of the world returned to its original state.
Bubble, bum, bum!
Arrows spill over the head of the 7th Troop.
The furious tent and mosquito hut were greatly engulfed and consumed by fire.
Glug-ug-ug!
Huge heat.
The flames soared high in the sky and swallowed the sacks.
“Ugh. What a sudden.......”
Aaron was taken by Roan and thrown behind the tent.
He is silent, unable to speak.
It's the same with Roan.
He grips his teeth as he watches the blazing fire.
"A trap."
It was the first time since I returned to the past.
So far, I've been winning because I knew the future.
Roan's eyes subside calmly.
"I can't believe I fell into a trap….."
This is really...
It was really unexpected.
* * *
“Hahaha!”
That's a good laugh.
The Mediterranean woman who was standing on a steep cliff and staring down at him was a tall, awkward woman with an odd face.
“You finally caught the rats. ”
Where he can see.
It was a secondary military reservoir for the Easterl Empire that was overrun by a seventh legion.
‘The large and small supply ships continue to break, causing difficulties for the frontline troops. ’
A very frustrating and angry situation as a military supply officer.
He organized his own troops to eliminate the attacking supply ships, but that didn't matter either.
‘The troop unit is so small and the movement has been immense. ’
But you can't just lay your hands on it.
In the end, the Chinese woman decided to dig a trap.
There was also a suitable place.
A vacancy that was used as a military reservoir at the beginning of the war.
It was not currently in use at the speed of the advancement of the frontline troops.
I filled it with a sack of weeds and oil.
Then he frees the soldiers, deliberately leaking the location of the fake reservoir.
‘They're biting it. ’
The Mediterranean waits on a cliff surrounding a fake reservoir and fires a fire as soon as the 7th legion comes in.
A fake reservoir filled with oil and hay was soon consumed by a massive fire.
You drop a solid log on it, blocking the entrance.
‘Too bad it's not a rock…..’
It is not easy to find a large, hard rock to block the entrance.
Instead, you blocked the entrance with a large tree and set it on fire.
“The entrance is blocked! ”
“Dammit! Find the exit! ”
“Put out the fire! ”
The 7th Legion screams as they see the flames spreading.
“Hahaha! You look great! ”
When she saw him, she burst into laughter.
Then I heard a thick voice.
“Commander Martin. Shouldn't you be throwing arrows? ”
A huge, thick face with a thick line.
Left eye covered with a clean cloth.
He was Bennon Pollet, who lost his left eye to Harrison's arrow in pursuit of Roan.
In the Middle East, Tays Martin shakes his head.
“We don't have enough supplies. It's the same with arrows. The Lines will burn to death anyway, so there's no need to waste your arrows. ”
“Hmm.”
Venan retreats, returning his appetite.
‘We have to finish it when we can. ’
He didn't really like Tase.
If Venan was a typical undocumented figure, Tays was rather close to the gate.
I liked to win with my head rather than fighting and struggling on my own.
It's the opposite of Venan charging backwards and forwards.
‘If it wasn't for the injuries.......’
Nothing could have gone backwards like this.
Suddenly, I remembered the young spearer of the Rhine Kingdom who made his eyes like this.
‘I should have caught him and killed him. ’
Rrrrgh.
This grinding sound echoes frantically.
At that moment, I saw a familiar one among the Rhine kingdoms running around in flames.
Hmm?
Venan frowns and spits Mana in his right eye.
He's leading the soldiers with a very calm attitude.
“What about him? ”
Bennon's right eye widens.
My face lit up in a flash.
“Kuhahaha!”
A photon that explodes.
“Go. What's wrong with you? ”
Tase shrugs in surprise.
A cool and sharp life forms in Vennon's eyes.
“There's the one who made me a puppy. ”
* * *
What a mess.
Inside the Military Reservoir, you've made a mess of things.
Glug-ug-ug!
A giant flame that swallowed up a haystack and a watchtower, a tent and a sack.
The 7th Legion soldiers fell like hedgehogs down there.
The raging flame swept over my body and swallowed a cold corpse.
“Vee, move! ”
“Back off! ”
“Don't push! ”
The 7th Troops step back, avoiding the fire.
You push your colleague away to live and your colleague to live.
“Ugh, ugh! ”
“Boo, Boo, turn out the lights! ”
“Help me! ”
Soldiers who could not escape were consumed by the fire.
“Woof.”
The stench of burning flesh.
My skin melted slightly.
The charred corpses spread one by one.
‘Dammit, there's no way out. ’
Roan grips his teeth.
I searched the back and back, but there was no way out.
‘You can't climb up the cliff. ’
In the end, I had no choice but to go out through the first entrance.
Problem is.
‘There is also a pile of logs. ’
Plus, there was a lot of fire going on.
“This can't be happening....... Ha, a trap.......”
Richard, the commander of the Special Forces, who had brought me the information on the storage unit, was half stunned.
Aaron also did not have a sharp solution.
“Don't be so bossy! ”
He calms the soldiers down and retreats to a place where the flames have yet to reach.
“Ugh.”
“Khhh.”
Painful crying.
It was the groaning of the wounded who could not avoid the flames.
“It's too hot! It's too hot!”
“Lord, I don't want to die. ”
Those who suffered terrible burns even broke their hearts.
“Dammit! Move the wounded to the very inside!" ”
“Take good care of your wounds! ”
The squadron commanders stepped up and commanded the soldiers.
But they are also devastated.
"Damn it! You're trapped!" ’
I've been a little careless while trying to win.
Aaron shakes his head at the giant flame.
‘Is this hell.......’
I couldn't even breathe because of the hot heat.
Aaron blames his haste.
Military storage for the Eastern Kingdom Army.
The enemy's defenses were well anticipated.
That's why I led half the troops.
However, as the enemy occupies the area, I was forced to attack quickly and retreat quickly.
‘I should have looked a little more carefully…..’
I felt strong by myself in both hands.
At that moment, he looks back at Aaron.
I am deeply troubled by the unknown.
‘You're still in this situation. ’
I thought I was like Roan.
That's when Roan begins to move on.
Surprisingly, where he was headed, there was a blazing fire entrance.
‘You can't hide your power in this situation. ’
Roan takes a deep breath.
The 7th Army soldiers were in danger, as well as their own lives.
Now was not the time to hide your power.
‘Let's do it.’
I made up my mind.
For yourself, for your comrades.
Roan steps toward the entrance.
‘If we pull all the Mana out, we might be able to break the log pile. ’
I don't know about anyone else, but there was a chance it was Roan.
Once he feels no heat, thanks to Brant's ring.
With a short time, it was possible to get close to the flames.
‘Moreover, the Mana I am learning is Flemish. It's Mana Law of the Fire Lord Raid. ’
The fire energy was a source of strength.
Quack quack.
Roan grips his spear tightly.
“Roan!"
“Roan! Where are you going?" ”
Aaron and Gail, etc. summon Roan.
Roan turns his head and looks at them.
A faint smile on your mouth.
“Don't be so surprised. ”
Unknown word.
Roan takes another bumpy walk.
A huge blaze blazes through his surroundings.
‘Hehe. Brandt's ring has its limits. ’
I felt a slight heat.
‘You may be able to ripen your flesh. ’
Brant's ring didn't just make him feel heat, it rendered him incapacitated.
I could burn myself without even knowing it.
Then.
Idiot!
I heard a sharp wave in my ears.
Roan flew instinctively before even looking away.
Phew!
An arrow is inserted into the spot where he was standing.
Roan looks calmly at the place where the arrow came from.
Thanks to Calian's tears, his face is clearly visible on the cliff.
‘That's the one who was chasing me then. ’
Above the cliff, Venan points his bow at Roan.
‘I'm sorry, I don't have time to hang out with you. ’
Roan remains calm as he looks at the bow that is aiming at him.
“Harrison!"
A loud shout.
“Yes!”
Harrison, who was standing back with the soldiers, responded in a loud voice.
He sends a beep with his left hand and points to the top of the cliff.
“Ah.......”
Harrison looks up at the cliff along his finger and bursts into low elasticity.
Though not as obvious as Roan, he recognizes Venan on the cliff at a glance.
How dare he! ’
Harrison tightly squeezes the bow.
I pulled the protest as I moved between the fire and the fire.
Jiaying.
Stretched bow protest.
‘Phew. Phew. Phew.'
I stopped breathing.
I let go of the finger that was pulling the demonstration at the same time.
Ting!
Clear resonance.
Idiot!
Sharp porosity.
An arrow pierces through the flames and rises into the sky.
As Roan looked at him, he took a bold step.
He no longer looks at the arrow.
Because I believed in Harrison's skills.
Damn it!
Venan, who was about to fire another arrow at Roan, thankfully didn't miss Harrison in the fire.
He quickly tugs his arm and falls to the ground.
When he bent half his waist.
Pa!
An arrow crosses the end of his helmet.
A situation that would have pierced my head if I had been a child.
"Damn! That's the one who shot me with the arrows!" ’
My face turned red.
The ones who make themselves look adorable.
They were in the fire.
‘I have to kill him with my own hands. ’
Bennon staggers back.
“Where are you going? ”
Tess frowns.
Bennon turns around and replies briefly.
“I guess I'll have to pay for my eyes. ”
Soon, he begins to climb down the cliff along the mountain path behind him.
Meanwhile, Roan stands in front of the entrance blocked by giant logs.
“Phew.”
I vomited a long breath and grabbed the spear.
The spear glows in red.
"Suck."
A stalk of Mana blooms from Manahall.
Moment.
Glug-ug-ug!
A flaming log bends your waist toward Roan.
A situation that is likely to be consumed by fire right now.
“Roan!"
“Dangerous!”
Aaron and his men, who were watching, scream.
But Roan remained calm.
No, actually, I was a little surprised.
‘This is……'
My prayers ran high.
The organs in the body are the same.
‘Ah.......’
Energy spills.
Every time I take a breath, a huge amount of fire energy is drawn into my body.
Mana, who had been on a log of bloom, was stirring up his body with Noh.
A tremendous amount of power is transmitted through your fingertips and toes.
I can do it. ’
A power I've never felt before.
I feel confident.
He looks down at the pile of logs in front of him.
A two-handed scepter.
Mana sprays through the palms of your hands.
Spot.
The color of Ronan's Mana was usually white, almost transparent.
But now it's different.
Red.
It was so blurry that it was hard to recognize, but there was clearly a red Mana on the window.
Roan twists his wrists as he sets his left foot forward.
Pa!
The spear pierces through the room and bursts into flames.
"Hehe!"
I felt a tremendous heat.
But he didn't stop.
You harnessed the power of the spear while operating the Flamdor Mana method.
Finally, the ledge touches the log pile.
Kuaang!
Awesome noise.
At the same time, the flame that was rising into the sky struck Roan.
“No!!! ”
“Roan!!! ”
Screaming.
Aaron, Gail, and the soldiers' cries echo the void.
