I am the Monarch

Chapter 14 Crisis in Crisis >

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

Obviously, the rosebud and the second rosebud were different from the others.

They did not lose formation and progress during the conflict and the marriage.

Ilsaburan.

Everyone moves as one body.

Squeak, squeak!

Every time Chang Doo walks through the room, an Eastel soldier falls.

“No way!”

Enemy forces attack, aiming for a gap between allies, are blocked by the left-hand and right-handed soldiers.

“Spread out!"

At Austin's command, the troops that were clumped together were scattered into squads.

The Estelle soldiers, who were pushing in at last, were caught up in the sudden change.

That brief moment.

A squad of rear archers shoot their arrows, revealing themselves between the cracks.

Bubble Bug!

“Knng!”

“Hehe!”

The Estelle soldiers fall like hedgehogs.

As Austin clenches his fist again, the scattered squads regroup into one lump.

They pierce a spear into the heart of a stumbling enemy.

There was no mercy on the battlefield.

Then.

“Die!”

A young Easterl knight rushes in with a panic.

The action of the Rose and Second Rose troops was so visible that it was to break the strength.

A longsword carrying Mana stabs Austin in the face.

Circumstances of incision.

Nevertheless, the rosebud troops did not retreat or run away from anyone.

Instead, they stick their spears forward and look for the young knight.

“You little things! How dare a common soldier like that.......”

When the horse goes on like that.

Sharp spears protrude from the left.

Kick!

Heavy hissing.

The spear slapped the blade of the young knight precisely.

“Hehe!”

The young knight turns his head, frowning at the slightest sensation of grief.

"How dare you! ’

The one who cut off his sword.

Even though he had an athletic face, I felt suffocated as soon as I looked at him.

Wealth and fire? ’

The owner of the spear reminded me of a red flame.

“Who are you? ”

The young knight unknowingly asked.

The owner of the spear waved the spear before the answer.

“Hehe!”

The young knight quickly steps back and swings his longsword.

A flame strikes with the sound of iron.

The owner of the spear hurls headlong into the ground.

“I am Roan, commander of the 2nd Roses Unit of the 7th Legion of the Eastern Army of the Rhine Kingdom. ”

The young knight frowned.

“Wealth, Commander?! Not a knight?”

He suddenly shifts his longsword toward Roan.

Roan twists calmly.

The Longsword has split the air.

Moment.

Roan's left hand burrows toward the young knight's left armpit.

“Oh!”

The young knight was in a state of panic.

Roan bounces off his waist, his arm tucked into his side.

The young knight split the air as he drew the arc.

Bang!

He rolls the floor with a heavy voice.

“Ugh.”

My back was numb.

Roan stepped on the young man's chest with his right foot.

The young knight struggles to get up.

"Hehe! What power is this….."

But the body didn't move.

At this point, my desire to live rose.

“I, I, am the son and knight of the nobleman of the Estelle Kingdom. If you take me captive, there are quite a lot.......”

The horses could not continue.

Squeak.

Because Roan's spear pierced his neck one day.

There is no mercy on the battlefield.

‘Especially in a battle like this. ’

Roan pulls out his spear and confronts the Eastel soldiers.

Every time the spear dances, three or four soldiers collapse, gushing blood.

“Ah.......”

A low elasticity flows from Austin's mouth that he was watching.

Somehow, I felt the fires of the surrounding area rushing along Roan.

He mutters with a half-dazzled look.

“Maybe, maybe. ”

Keefe, standing right next to me, frowned.

“What did you say? ”

Austin was a horse chasing after Roan.

“Maybe we're looking at the beginning of a legend. ”

But Keefe couldn't hear it properly because of the noise of the battlefield.

“What!”

Austin didn't mind.

He now mutters small enough that no one can hear him.

“No, we are at the beginning of a legend. ”

I felt overwhelmed.

Austin raises his spear high.

“Follow Commander Roan! ”

At that command, the rosebud regroups.

The road is already open to Roan.

The soldiers squeeze through the gap and slaughter the Estelle soldiers.

Austin shouts aloud at Roan.

“Commander Roan! I'll follow you to the end!”

Not this battle, not after this battle.

Knowing what it means, or not, Roan looks up at his thumb after cutting off the head of a running Eastel soldier.

You turn your head slightly and look at the soldiers in the rose army.

“I told you. ”

I still had a relaxing smile on my mouth.

“Just trust me and follow me. ”

The battle was so close to the end.

* * *

Dawn shines from the east.

The battle is over.

The army reservoir in the Estelle Kingdom was caught in a raging fire.

A huge flame that seems to not go out forever.

But there was no time to rest with both legs extended.

“Our Earl Lancefield will slaughter the Estellers who fled northwest. ”

At the end of the battle, the Eastern Empire troops who were guarding the armory fled in all directions.

The ones who fled towards the Eastern Istel Kingdom were fine, but those who fled to the northwest and western Lansfield territories were not to be seen.

Aaron nods at Cali's words.

“I will kill those who escaped from the 7th Army and go to the Eastern Army headquarters. ”

Short Greetings.

Kali leads the Earl's army first and sets out northwest.

Aaron quickly regrouped his forces.

“Approximately 4,000 people. Divide the squad into two. ”

The decision was quick.

I burned down the arsenal, but it was a relief.

There was still the Eastern Royal Army headquarters, and there were a lot of knights and soldiers left in the fake cellar.

‘If you hesitate here, you can be isolated from enemy occupied land. ’

I had to assassinate the remnants of the Estelle as soon as possible before joining the Eastern Army headquarters.

“One is for me, and the other is for Roan. I'll march southwest. Roan, you march west. ”

Hundreds of commanders were killed in repeated battles.

There was no commander like Roan, even based on his specialty, his performance, and the trust of his soldiers.

Gail was there, but he was standing beside Aaron as chief of staff.

Roan became a Senior Deputy Commander.

“Yes, I understand. ”

He didn't have to give up or give up.

‘You get what you deserve. ’

That was Roan's idea.

The reorganization of the troops was rapid.

“I beg your pardon. ”

“I'll see you at Eastern Military Headquarters. ”

Aaron and Roan look at each other and smile faintly.

Each unit set off toward the southwest and west, with a huge fire behind the armory.

* * *

A troop of 2,000, composed mainly of the 2nd Roses.

Under Roan's command, they subdue the scattered remnants of Estelle from all sides.

In the process, the ability of the Pence and Information Squad once again shined.

It has not yet been organized, but its ability to detect and pursue enemy tracks and escape routes has been compromised.

“Looks like we got rid of most of the leftovers. ”

Austin's report.

Roan nods, looking at the remains of the Estelle party.

It's been six days since the subjugation.

During that time, I killed a group of large and small outlaws perfectly.

"Captain Aaron must have stayed with the Eastern Army headquarters. ’

Aaron is closer to the Eastern Army headquarters from the direction of travel.

Roan turns his head to look south.

‘From here on out, you'd better leave the area to the Earl Lancefield. ’

It was time to lead the troops and follow their example.

‘Even the Estelle Royal Army headquarters won't last much longer. ’

We're low on supplies and out of supplies.

All the Tributes are being exterminated, except as seen there.

There are still many troops left, but they would have lost their strength and capacity to lead the war.

Moreover, the general commander, who was leading the Eastern Empire army, was Mark Istell.

It was a royal family that was fairly close to the King of Istel.

I won't leave Mark like that in the tiger's den.

Retreat was self-evident.

“Heading south. ”

Powerful voice.

The soldiers, including Austin, bowed their heads in a short manner.

After clearing the battlefield, they make their way south.

Movement speed is not faster than you think, as most soldiers were infantry.

Moreover, most of the soldiers were exhausted from repeated battles.

Roan takes a moderate rest and moves.

‘Soon there will be one last battle. ’

I needed to conserve my strength for that.

Moving two days.

I finally see the Eastern army's camp.

Roan frowns as he steps to the front.

Because there was something wrong with the camp.

‘Empty.’

The camp is empty.

I felt anxious for no reason, so my pace was faster.

“Halt!”

The guards guarding the entrance of the camp shout at the spear.

Roan screams, taking the lead.

“Squad 7!”

The guards checked the ranking tables and troops inside the gate and at the lookout.

“Ah! This is Commander Roan of the 7th Legion! ”

Moreover, Roan's face was quite famous.

The guards quickly opened the gate.

“Phew!"

Roan leads the troops into the camp.

He orders the soldiers to rest and head for the center of the camp.

It's packed with military barracks.

But most of the barracks were empty.

"Ah!"

There was a distinctive figure at the time.

It was Philip Haas, fifth platoon commander.

“Captain Haas! ”

“Hmm?"

As Philip makes his move, he looks back at the call and smiles.

“It's Roan from the 7th Legion. ”

“Chung.”

Roan approaches and takes the ordinance.

“I heard the news. You've established a major. ”

“Thank you."

Under Philip's command, Roan bows his head and looks inside the camp.

“But the camp is very quiet. ”

The words made Philip's smile darker.

“Everyone went after the Estelle imperial army. ”

“An example of the enemy? Have they retreated already? ”

I was definitely expecting a retreat, but that was too soon.

When Roan looks a little surprised, Philip nods.

“Yes. It was yesterday that I realized they had retreated, but I think they did. ”

“Can you elaborate? ”

Roan wanted to know how the situation was going and where it was going.

Philip continued to explain in a bold voice.

“Soon after Captain Aaron joined the Eastern Army camp, a large force joined the Eastern Royal Army headquarters. I heard he was ambushing a fake storage unit. ”

He looked east.

“You're not ready to retreat, but rather the military has joined you? We thought, of course, they were preparing for the final assault. A small group of people stepped up and did the workshop, but it didn't mean much. The real final battle is later.

I thought I'd lose. ”

Philip looks back at Roan.

“But four days ago, small battles were cut off. They didn't leave the camp. Instead, I made a commotion, drumming with Jing. I thought it was a morale boost before the last battle. But it was a completely wrong idea. ”

I could feel the void in my eyes.

“After three days, they didn't budge. We sent a unit to their camp to taunt them. And yet, there was no response. Something's wrong with him, so he shoots an arrow and throws a stone at him, but so do I. Conclusion

I was prepared to die and march into their camp. But....... ”

“It was empty. ”

Philip nods at Roan's words.

“Jing and drum were fake sounds made by record magic. They retreated early. Like when we retreated from the Vinks. ”

“Hmm.”

Roan swallows a murmur.

‘Earlier retreat than I expected. ’

Relief that the situation was not that good.

‘Or maybe they summoned Mark Estelle in a hurry from the Estelle headquarters. ’

I couldn't help but lose the war, but I had to save the royal family's life.

If the general commander of the Eastern Royal Army was a nobleman or a common merchant, rather than Mark, he would have died and continued the war.

‘Even if I return to my home country, I am more likely to be beheaded or lose my position. ’

It was a great mistake and a sin to lose such a war.

‘But severe punishment is not necessarily good. By the way.......’

Roan's eyes tremble slightly.

"Recording magic......."

It was definitely ingenious.

However, it is quite difficult to retreat without being spotted by more than 50,000 troops.

"Was there such a good commander in the enemy camp? ’

In preparation for the war, as the war raged on, the Ystel imperial army commanders were perfectly informed.

But none of the longevity was particularly threatening.

‘It turned out that even the fake repository wasn't a very good strategy…..’

In retrospect, the parts that I thought about easily caught my mind.

Lightning flashes through my head.

Roan went through all the memories of his last life.

Many battles and battles have passed through my mind.

‘Excellent people in the Estelle Kingdom.......’

In times of war, talents and geniuses poured out from every corner of the continent as well as the Rhine Kingdom.

That is why the age of war would have spread.

‘Otherwise, an empire or kingdom would have unified the continents. ’

Roan shakes his head.

‘The talents of the Easter Kingdom are like Earl Fox Fade Nail of the battlefield.......’

There was no name on Chris Travel Agency's list of commanding officers, more than the intelligence squad investigated.

‘Moreover, he is only in his early twenties.......’

When I thought about it.

Roan's eyes widen.

“Ah!”

Elasticity burst out of my mouth.

“What's the matter? ”

Philip tilts his head and asks.

However, Roan was busy answering the question.

He bows his head to Philip.

“Apologies. Something urgent has come up and I should be going." ”

“Huh? Okay. Then, uh…..”

Philipp's greetings do not end.

Because he was already showing his back.

“Phew.”

Philipp tasted awkward.

‘What's so urgent....... hmm. ’

His gaze follows Roan's back.

Roan runs relentlessly toward where the soldiers are resting.

“Mr. Pence! ”

An urgent shout.

Fence rises from his seat, resting in the soldiers' basket.

Roan gestures urgently.

“I'd like a list of the Eastern Royal Army, please. ”

Fence tilts his head to a sudden request.

“A list? If it were a list, you would have checked it all..."

Roan shakes his head.

“Not the list of commanders above the commander's rank, but the list of subordinates. ”

“Subordinates? That's not very big of an arrangement. ”

Fence replied with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Roan nods as if he's okay.

“It doesn't matter.”

“Now, wait a minute. ”

Fence senses that something unusual has just happened.

He pulls out a large bag and pulls out a pile of paper that is only the thickness of the palm of his hand.

“Here you go. ”

“Thank you."

Roan sits facedown on the floor as soon as he hands over a pile of paper.

Sarak. Sarak.

You hear the sound of paper passing by.

Soldiers, including Fence, gather around one by one.

However, he did not care about the letters on the paper.

Fade. Fade. Fade....... ’

First of all, it was important to find that name.

Names written in the Middle East Heating are still out of order.

Finger searches over it quickly.

How much time has passed.

More than half of the chunks of paper have passed.

"Yes, please don't come out like this. ’

Roan swallows a dry saliva and hands over another piece of paper.

Tsk. Tsk.

At that moment, the finger that was sweeping through the letter stopped as if it were a lie.

Fade.

There was.

It had the exact name that I didn't want to see.

< Fade. Estimated early 20s. Ordinary. Western Imperial Army 2nd Army Deputy Port. Rumor has it he's the descendant of a fallen nobleman. >

That was all I could think of.

But that was enough.

Roan's face is stiff.

‘It's him. The fox of the battlefield. He's right. ’

He jumps to his feet.

I didn't think.

Geniuses from all over the world who represented the age of war.

Focusing on war and combat, I forgot for a moment that they were now in a humble position.

‘The Istel commanders should ignore him and ignore him.......’

However, if he led the retreat of fake storage traps and the Eastern Royal Army headquarters, that means his position has been somewhat elevated.

‘The fox of the battlefield will not simply retreat. ’

Even the genius tactician Ian, one of the Rhine Order, was beaten three times by him.

‘We must pursue the Eastern Military headquarters. ’

I had to stop them from pursuing too much.

Roan hands over a bunch of paper to Fence and calls Austin.

“Get ready to march as soon as possible. ”

“A march?”

Austin asked with a look on his face, "What the hell is going on?"

Roan looks east.

“Heading east. ”

Some soldiers said that.

“Are you going after the enemy? ”

“Are you after the Estelle royal army's headquarters? ”

A slightly reminded expression and voice.

They were excited about the end of the war.

But Roan was calm.

Rather, it feels a little sinking.

He mutters in a small voice.

“I'm going to rescue an ally. ”
