I am the Monarch
< Chapter 17 Establish a foundation >
------------------------------------
Ghost of the battlefield.
Nicknamed after Roan during the Petian Plain Monster Extermination.
However, at that time, it was nicknamed after the location of the monsters and their haunts. It was not because of its powerful and overwhelming power and ability.
A ghost that literally means fortune-teller.
But now, Roan reminds me of a really scary ghost.
Spot!
Travis' spear cracks open.
Thanks to the Flemish Mana method, a white Mana flows through the windshield and the windshield.
Squeak, squeak!
“Cough!”
“Queek!”
The monstrous sounds and the monsters' spirits blend together.
Three or four monsters collapse each time Travis' spear moves.
A window that draws wires.
The bloodstream of the monsters flows through the wilderness.
Pa!
The fountain warms the air in the battlefield.
The flag of the cavalry moves rapidly as Roan gestures.
Flutter! Flutter!
Sound of trumpets and drums echo in succession.
Boom, boom! Bang! Bang!
Four white sedans stood in a rectangular line, suppressing the hordes of monsters.
The strength and strength of Amaranth's forces were superior.
However, there were more than twice as many monsters.
The battle was more intense than I expected.
“Back the wounded! Fill the broken ranks quickly! ”
Roan stands in the front and screams.
Each Whitebeard operated several teenagers organically.
Strange and strange movements.
The armada reminds me of a living creature.
“If we fall, the town falls. ”
Roan's cry.
Big face.
I feel a rush of strength in my hands with my spear.
The same goes for the Amaranth troops.
They were on the battlefield with Roan, getting a clear picture of what he had in mind and character.
‘We protect the villagers. ’
‘These are the people we have to protect. ’
The troops took a deep breath.
The number of monsters is still over a thousand.
Roan and Amaranth's men stared at them coldly.
In this situation, I couldn't hope for a better time.
Strength versus strength.
I needed a frontal battle.
“Charge!”
“Ahhhh!”
As Amaranth's troops set out, the monsters hit the ground.
“Take advantage!”
“Queek!”
The lead and the lead collide.
A large slalom unfolds in the field in front of the northern village.
Spot!
Roan's spear draws a beam of light as it dances.
* * *
“Phew.”
A long breath came out.
Roan stands in the middle of the battlefield.
‘It's over. ’
It was intense.
After returning to the past, it was one of the many battles in the past.
Starting from the extraction, the dead bodies of the monsters around you have been shredded.
Red blood flows along the helmet, breastplate, window and spear.
“No more survivors. ”
“The hordes of monsters were wiped out. ”
The white artisans, including Sammy, approached and took the ordinance.
All rotten.
But there was a strange sensation of excitement and accomplishment on his face.
“Collect the bodies of the warriors and heal the wounded. ”
“Yes! I understand. ”
At Roan's command, the white artisans responded eagerly and scattered to the four sides.
Soon, the troops are ordered to move quickly.
Roan watches the scene for a moment, then takes a step toward the town entrance.
Yuck!
The door that was tightly closed was opened as if it had been waiting.
You can see Hans and the villagers beyond the wide open gates.
Everyone looks impressed.
Roan stands in front of the villagers, blurring out the blood of the monsters buried in his armor.
“I'm Commander Roan, Amaranth. ”
A lightly crouched head.
At that moment, Hans and the rest of the village bowed.
“Oh no. Go, thank you! ”
“You saved my life. ”
“Thank you very much. ”
At that, Roan smiles faintly.
It felt so lonely in the middle of nowhere.
“I'm glad everyone's okay. ”
I meant it.
He was lucky the villagers were safe.
But...
‘More men died and were injured than I thought. ’
Soldier's destiny.
Those who die guarding what they must do.
‘Do not forget their deaths. ’
Roan takes a deep breath.
Hans steps forward and whispers in a small voice.
“Then how did you find out so quickly? ”
Roan smiles faintly and simply answers about the Beacon Mounds and Reconnaissance system.
Hans nods in awe, listening quietly.
‘You really have the perfect defense system. ’
The more I looked at it, the more reliable and reliable I was.
“Ah.......”
At that time, you see soldiers collecting the bodies of the warriors behind Roan.
Hans' face darkens for a moment.
“We seem to have caused a lot of soldiers death and injury....... but I think you've suffered too much damage to protect a village without it. ”
Hans and the villagers looked straight at him.
How the armies of Amaranth fought so hard to defend the village.
They did not forget the splenic backside.
The villagers nod slightly, their hands together in front of their chests.
Roan shakes his head, looking at him.
“Our job is to protect your lives and your homes. ”
There was strength in his voice.
“We are one family, just like one family. ”
Roan glances at Hans and the villagers.
“I, and my armies of Amaranth, never abandon my family. ”
Even though he was rich and powerful, the monarch who abandoned his people could not survive.
‘That's the real monarch. ’
One of Roan's dream monarchy virtues and most important.
It was the heart that loved the people.
“Ah.......”
Hans and the villagers burst into low elasticity.
‘I knew he was a good man.......’
When Roan first came to town with an army of Amaranth.
When I built the loose binders higher and firmer, and then I put the watchtower tighter.
When you subdue the monsters near the town one step ahead.
At that time, I was already confused that Roan was different from the commanders until now.
But I didn't know that he was a vessel big enough to risk his life to protect the trivial commoners.
Hans is able to see why the Amaranth troops are moving erratically under Roan's orders.
‘Anyone like this can be trusted. ’
I felt that way about myself.
At that moment, you hear Roan's voice.
“Chief, I have something to tell you. ”
A cautious expression and expression that I don't know where until now.
Hans nods coldly.
“Yes, let's go to my house. ”
He was a lifesaver.
No matter what he said, I swore I would listen.
Hans takes a step forward and Roan chases after him.
As I stepped inside the wooden bookshelf, I saw the old, shabby, but still neat town.
Children staring at themselves with curious eyes.
Kids like that are drawn to their arms.
It was a peaceful sight.
‘I was good at protecting it with my life. ’
I wanted to protect this small and simple happiness.
Roan takes a deep breath.
‘If we want to keep this happiness...'
The villagers need to be moved to a new settlement to the south.
Now it was not just to expand the field.
‘The monsters' statue is faster than I thought. ’
Roan knew why the monsters were moving north.
‘The exodus of Lake Forcaine is just around the corner. ’
The light in my eyes subsides calmly.
Forcaine exodus.
It wasn't until quite a long time ago in the last life that this phenomenon was revealed.
“Whew.”
Roan takes a deep breath and shakes his head.
‘I'd better hurry. ’
The time has come to flog the running horse.
For Roan, the phosphane exodus was a crisis and an opportunity.
‘To turn a crisis into an opportunity…..’
Several plans flowed calmly into my head.
The clear, deep eyes sparkle red.
* * *
Exodus of Lake Forcaine.
After the war between the Rhine and Estelle kingdoms, the continent fell into stasis for a while.
Countries that waged wars focused on post-war processing, and those who did not, focused on building their inner rooms.
Right then.
Monsters from Lake Porsche start pouring ashore.
Four countries around Lake Foucane did not respond to the sudden phenomenon properly and the area around the lake was devastated.
The four kingdoms were able to mobilize royal troops late to defeat monsters and wipe out all their enemies after three months of war.
The four nations that had a mutual desire began to join forces by triggering this phenomenon.
First, we assembled an investigation team to investigate and study why monsters from Lake Foucane suddenly spilled over land.
However, even after spending eight years, it was unclear why.
Pub, the librarian of the Estia Imperial Library, discovered something interesting.
In the history book of Romero, "Continental Plane", there were several times when the monsters of Lake Porsche poured ashore.
No specific cycles or clear reasons were noted, but signs were instead detailed.
One of the signs is that grain yields in the Estelle Kingdom, a channel through which the waters of Lake Porsche flow towards the sea, are dramatically reduced and an unknown disease develops.
The next sign was that the monsters around Lake Foucane were moving around to get away from the lake.
Romero was documenting this phenomenon of Lake Porsche called "the Porsche Exodus."
The four national investigators realized that the vast increase in grain output in the Eastern Kingdom and the unknown movement of monsters around the lake were all caused by the phosphine exodus.
‘Monsters in the Tail region also began to move north, avoiding Lake Porsche to the south. ’
It means that Exodus of Lake Foucane is not far behind.
‘Monsters will become more and more chaotic. ’
Then the northern Tail region was no longer a safe zone.
Three villages scattered, like now, are more likely to have trouble defending themselves.
‘It is safer to relocate to a new town. ’
The village was being built in the south with proper defensive facilities and headquarters where white troops could stay.
From the villagers' point of view, migrating to a new town will be a safer option than leaving life in the hands of useless woodworkers, watchtowers, and combat inexperienced vigilantes.
Even if it's in the southern part closer to Lake Porsche.
“Chief, what I want to talk to you about today is migration. ”
Hans' face stiffens in fear of speaking out.
“Are you trying to drive us out? ”
Anxious expression.
At that, Roan shakes his head, smiling faintly.
“No. We want to move the villagers to the south." ”
“South?”
I never thought of that.
Roan nods slowly.
“Yes, south. ”
He explained in detail why he needed to move south for a while.
Fertile land, free housing for rent, and a secure defense system.
Finally, the monsters' demise emphasized that the northern border is no longer a safe zone.
Of course, I was reluctant to hear about Exodus on Lake Foucane.
“Mmmm…"
Hans hesitates and worries.
I couldn't decide this by myself.
“I'll talk to the villagers first. ”
“Yes, discuss and consider enough and then decide. And if…..”
After a few moments of blurring, Roan carefully rears his horse.
“If you don't want to move south, you may want to leave the Tail Zone for a while. ”
“Is it because of the monsters' inference? ”
Hans carefully asks.
Roan nods slowly.
“Yes. Perhaps their inference will get worse over time. But there is a limit to the number of troops in our armies. Impossible to defend all three villages along the northern border. ”
“I suppose so.”
Hans smiles bitterly.
He takes a deep breath and looks at Roan.
“I'll talk to the villagers first. ”
“Yes, I look forward to the good news. ”
Roan gets up from his seat.
Our work here is done.
‘I'll have to step up the monster subjugation while waiting for the villagers to decide. ’
Before the exodus on Lake Foucane, I was going to wipe out all the monsters in the Tails.
‘I need to visit alchemists and blacksmiths first. ’
I had a lot to do.
Before Exodus got up, he had to craft and experiment with the weapons and tools he was planning.
This was also the time to transfer the divers and fishermen unions that were expanding their forces around Fer Village.
‘One by one, one by one. ’
Roan clenches two fists.
It had already been somewhat solidified.
Now it's time to build an axis and a house.
And it was time to protect the house.
