I am the Monarch

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

‘Damn it.'

The insults popped out.

Sammy stares straight ahead.

Almost a thousand monsters.

There were many different kinds.

"Goblins, Cobalts, Norks......."

Mostly small and medium-sized monsters, but there were about ten little ogres that were just twice as big as adult males.

‘I was crazy. Shit.'

Sammy later cursed his stupidity, rather than stupidity.

‘I just want to be able to keep an eye on the base.......’

If only we could defeat the small group of monsters that appear near the base as usual, or if we could defeat those who invade the base fearlessly.

However, after kicking off the base at dawn, I couldn't stand the thought of seeing Roan and Amaranth's troops.

‘We don't have enough to scout the tail area by making a strange change in troop uniforms and informants. Why would we subdue monsters first?' ’

It was an unexpected move.

Somehow, the entire Salum unit, including itself, felt like cowards.

‘We were the owners of the Tails. ’

I feel like I've been taken over in a moment.

There's a battle cry that I don't want to lose to Roan.

Fortunately, so were the Solum troops.

They didn't want to just watch Amaranth's troops, like the rolling stones, do what they wanted.

In the end, Sammy and Salum's troops marched with more than 100 defenders left.

They march towards the area where monsters appear frequently.

Not bad at first.

You raise your spirits as you wipe out the herd of monsters that appear.

I arrived at the hill where I had made my destination.

It was time to take care of the injured soldiers and rest.

The forest unfolds beneath the hills and quakes.

The thick trees move roughly and the sound of the ground echoes into my ears.

When Sammy and the Salum team look at the forest with a nervous look.

Pa!

A huge number of monsters emerge from the trees.

Unexpected Raid.

That's what just happened.

“Uh, how do I do that? ”

Harmon looks nervous.

Sammy bites his lower lip, throwing aside his thoughts.

“I don't know what to do. We have to fight.”

A group of monsters is already close to the hill.

In this situation, I had no choice but to fight them.

Although it's 400 to 1000, most of them are small and medium-sized monsters. Moreover, since we are on high ground, there is no shortage of wins. ’

Sammy has a violent temperament, but he is in the front of a big battle, clearing his head.

Because I knew that if the commander lost his mind here, the entire force would be wiped out.

“Catch the Little Ogre first. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

After the deputies responded in one voice, each of them stood in front of his squad.

Over 400 soldiers raised their weapons with nervous expressions.

“Rrrrgh!”

“Queek!”

Monsters vomited.

The earth rumbles and the white dust rises.

“Charge!”

The assault order also comes from Sammy's mouth.

It rose red around my eyes.

The strange heat rose throughout my face.

“Kill him!”

“Die!”

A shout was poured out to raise the spirits with force.

Boom!

Finally, the Salum army and the horde of monsters clashed together.

Squeak, squeak!

The monsters' arms and legs are cut off with a eerie sound.

“Queek!”

“Queek!”

Goblins and Cobalts, much smaller than adult men, collapsed without ever changing their resistance.

The individual strength of the Solum unit was considerable.

But that was all they did. The limitations of the Solum unit were clear.

Because I have experienced massive rotations.

“The Little Ogre! Aim for the Little Ogre! ”

“Infantry Squad! Not there! Right, right! ”

Sammy shouted with a loud voice.

However, orders were not fulfilled properly. Each deputy ran their own squad.

No, they did not command the squad properly either.

A pitiful level to call a unit.

The line that was well woven into rectangles was already divided into several pieces.

A group of monsters rush through the rift.

“Huff!”

“Hehe! You got a crack in the side! ”

“The front row has collapsed! ”

The twisted line collapses indescribably.

A situation that would have remained after being killed, unless the individual's level of force was at least high.

What the hell happened to the last two years? ’

Sammy wields his sword with his teeth.

‘Although this is a region where monsters appear frequently, I have never seen such a large herd of monsters....... and this is no ordinary raid. ’

It feels like I'm being chased by someone.

“Ow!”

“Huff!”

You hear the screams of Salum's men around you.

Sammy's face is stiff.

‘Because of my lodging, the officers.......’

My eyes trembled.

I blamed myself, but it was too late.

"Is this how you die….."

The moment of the incision.

Then.

Idiot!

I heard a sharp wave in my ears.

“Queek!”

“Queek!”

You hear the screams of the monsters over the tangled wire.

Boooooo!

The sound of trumpets hitting your ears at the same time.

Sammy and the Salum troops looked behind the horde of monsters.

Through the trees, a group emerges.

A rising flag.

The fluttering flag contains a short word.

< Amaranth. >

At that moment, everyone's face was filled with joy.

Amaranth Force! ’

Soldiers!

Their gazes came together in one place.

Boom!

Monsters are pushed to the left and to the right with a thunderstorm.

Wide crack.

There was Roan.

“Exterminate!”

Short commands and complex calls.

The horseman next to you wags two coloured flags dizzily.

Pow! Pow. Knock, knock. Dong.

The sound of the trumpet and the sound of the drum are intricately jumbled.

The Amaranth troops, as if awaiting, form a sharp triangular formation.

Of course, there was Roan at the top.

He pulls out Travis' spear and shows off his bravery.

A situation where we no longer have to hide the Mana law.

The transparent light of the spear cuts through the space and dances.

Spot!

Every time, a terrifying burst sounded.

“Queek!”

Small monsters like Goblins and Cobalt are no match for Roan.

The same goes for Little Ogres.

They took a step back, bewildered by Roan's marvelous movements.

The moment your balance is broken.

Amaranth's men rush in from both sides.

Squeak!

A weapon lodged in the side of a Little Ogre.

“Kuang!”

A thunderstorm erupted.

Trying to get rough.

However, the men behind him swing their spears.

Screaming!

Spears, swords, and axes pierce the head, neck, chest, and abdomen in succession.

Perfect pass.

Boom.

The Little Ogre has fallen down, unable to hold on any longer.

“Break through!”

The battle cry.

The top of Amaranth's troops break through the monsters with ease.

The vanguard, including Roan, met with a group of solum troops in Moloch, who were defeated.

“Are you all right?”

A light greeting.

‘I didn't expect to follow us into the subjugation. ’

Roan sighs for a moment.

Since marching, Amaranth's troops have been fighting monsters.

In the process, a small group of monsters fled north, avoiding the armies of Amaranth.

But there was always a Salum army there.

A small group of monsters gathered and reached a thousand.

Solum forces have inadvertently performed the anvil between the hammer and the anvil.

‘Anyway, I'm glad it's not too late. ’

Roan smiles faintly and looks at Sammy.

Sammy also slowly recovered from the panic.

“Yes, I'm fine. ”

In fact, he and other Solum units were half mesmerized.

That's because only 300 Amaranth troops were lightly penetrating a thousand monsters and pushing them left and right.

‘Ey, is this the strength of your troops? ’

Sammy swallowed a dry saliva.

Roan looks at Sammy and shakes his right hand back a few times.

Immediately, the white squads that were pushing the monsters back and forth began to retreat.

The wide triangle quickly receded, and soon it had a rectangular formation.

“Queek?”

“Queek?”

The monsters suddenly tilt their heads as if they were bewildered by an empty front.

Then the cavalry waves the flag left and right.

At that moment, the leading infantry crouches on one knee.

The archers stand back, their arrows pouring down as if they were waiting.

Idiot!

Sharp porosity.

Dozens of arrows in a row split the wind.

Furverbuck!

Along with a terrifying rupture, the monsters collapse like hedgehogs.

Among the archers, Harrison was the best marksman.

Harrison, commander of the Caucasian army and part of the infantry, was shooting more medium-sized monsters like the Little Ogre and Nork than any other soldier.

Phew!

Pierce through the head or forehead exactly.

‘No, it's an amazing skill. ’

All of the Salum troops have opened their mouths.

It was a skill that was almost amazing.

“Queeeek!”

“Khhh!”

The monsters suddenly start to rush in with a sudden burst of horror as the power surges in unilaterally.

Roan squeezes Travis' spear as if he was waiting.

The Amaranth forces have been pursuing him.

“Ah.......”

At that moment, Sammy and the Salum troops burst into low elasticity.

An unknown thunderstorm swept through my body.

The scene is unfolding before their eyes.

Amaranth battalion bravely advances against hundreds of monsters.

The back of his face stuck in his eyes.

“Queek!”

“Hehe!”

The armies of Amaranth and the monsters are raging.

The Amaranth troops make a swift move.

One person attacks, and the other fills the void revealed during the attack.

This is what you've been training for every day on the battlefield! ’

Sammy was impressed and amazed.

His gaze naturally moves toward Roan.

Front of the line.

In a certain way, there was Roan in a place that could be said to be dangerous.

Fabababad!

Travis' spear moves like a dance.

Puck! Puck!

The monsters close to you get hit by a strange fist and kick, and they bounce off.

It feels like a long beam of light is drawn along the window.

Roan's movements were not only destructive but beautiful.

‘Not my opponent. ’

It wasn't until Sammy realized what Roan and Amaranth's forces had seen.

You and the Salum Force are not worthy opponents.

But strangely, I didn't feel helplessness, frustration, or anger.

‘I want to go in there and fight together. ’

He also wanted to exert more power than Amaranth's forces.

My face turned red with a boiling howl.

It was not the feeling of less than a bird.

Can we move like that? ’

‘I wish I had a comrade like that. ’

The soldiers all looked at the battlefield with excitement.

The peculiar aspiration rises in the snow.

The hatred and repulsion that I felt when I first met Roan and the Amaranth troops was long gone.

‘You said it would wait until we wanted it…..’

Sammy remembers very well what Roan said.

He takes a deep breath, looking back at the troops.

‘I think it's time. ’

I made up my mind.

His gaze returned to the battlefield.

The battle was soon approaching the end.

Finished.

It was the triumph of the new Amaranth army.

And this was the first victory of the Amaranth forces to be named after Roan's bannermen.

* * *

‘I lost. I lost completely. It's different from the bowl.'

Sammy shakes his head.

Where he can see.

There was Roan.

‘Thank you for saving our troops and returning them safely.......’

Roan ordered the relatively few Amaranth troops to take care of the wounds of the Salum troops.

During this process, Sammy was surprised by three things:

The first is.

‘The Amaranth troops will never disobey the Commander's orders. ’

The second one.

‘Troops are healing higher than I expected. It's unprofessional, but I know how to deal with injured soldiers. ’

It was due to various combat experiences ranging from the battle in Eile Canyon to the defeat of monsters in the Pedian Plain and the war in the Eastern Kingdom, but Sammy had no idea.

But what surprised him most was the third reason.

‘It was exactly twenty days before Amaranth's troops entered the headquarters. But.......’

Sammy's gaze returned to Roan.

Roan is looking into the condition of the wounded Salum troops.

“Rest on the splint for a while and you'll be fine. James.”

A casual handshake.

The soldier lying on the floor looks surprised.

“How do I......? ”

At that point, Roan smiles instead of answering.

He gets up from his seat and examines the condition of the next wounded soldier.

“Darren. Take a look at Locke. I don't think I have enough bandages. ”

“Vent. We're running low on water. ”

“Kolf. Don't let it get to you yet. ”

Names spilling out.

Roan remembers the names of the Solum troopers.

Solum's troops look surprised every time they are called by their name.

“Commander, did you just memorize the names of the Salum men? ”

Austin holds out his tongue while looking after the wounded.

At that, Roan shakes his head.

“I haven't memorized it all yet. ”

Nevertheless, the soldiers around him still looked admired.

‘There's been a lot of work to be done in the last 20 days.......’

‘I changed my unit uniform, repaired my barracks, and trained my unit for tactics. ’

In the meantime, you memorized the names of unrelated Salum soldiers? ’

Roan moves diligently enough to be lacking ten bodies.

‘I do the best I can. ’

The commander remembers the name of the squad member.

Roan thinks it's the first thing a good commander should do.

When you fight a battle, many soldiers die and get hurt.

Unlike commanders, most of them do not leave even a short name.

‘At least I can't let my soldiers die without a name. ’

Of course, if the troops are larger than they are now and become troops and command units, not all soldiers will be able to remember their names.

"When the time is right, we should write the names of the dead comrades. ’

so that people can remember and history can remember.

When I thought about it.

I felt popular behind it.

“Commander Roan. ”

Familiar voice.

Turns out, Sammy and his army of deputies are growing.

Their faces were very hard.

I felt tense.

At times, Roan understands their importance.

‘You're faster than I thought. ’

Perhaps it was the breakdown of the first encounter that took effect.

Sammy and his deputies took the ordinance.

Deep down.

The helmet glows with the blood of monsters.

“My Salum Army.......”

The end of my voice trembles.

Sammy looks up at Roan.

“Please lead. ”

At that moment, I was stationed at the base of the unit.

All of Salum's men, as well as Amaranth's, looked at Roan.

He didn't hesitate.

He nods, smiling brightly.

“Good.”

Roan looks back at the men around him and speaks.

“From today, Amaranth and Solum forces are one. ”
