I am the Monarch

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

Bait.

The entrance to the headquarters, which was tightly closed, was wide open.

With Roan in front, Amaranth's men enter the headquarters.

‘The battle was won. ’

Roan looks up at the sky.

The sky was dark and dark with a lot of clouds.

“Whew.”

I vomited a long breath.

Now, Roan's heart was as stuffy and dark as the sky.

He turns his head to look at Amaranth's men.

The battle was a sure victory.

But...

‘Warriors and wounded soldiers are drawn to it as the battle rages. ’

Soldiers are exhausted from ongoing battles throughout the day.

‘The troops are too small. ’

In the beginning, the Amaranth troops absorbed the Solum troops and began with over 800 men.

Considering the size of the monsters in the Tail region, it is quite lacking.

I thought I wanted to increase the number of units greatly.

But...

‘There are too few Tail residents. ’

It was not a situation where we could recruit our own troops.

"Earl Lancefield can dispatch the Territorial Army, but…"

In that case, different units will occupy one region.

Rather, a situation where multiple complications can arise.

‘We have to find other ways. ’

Roan glances at the whites' faces.

“White seals, identify the warriors and the wounded and assemble in the conference room. ”

“Yes! I understand! ”

Austin, Sammy and other white artisans responded in one voice and then left with their own troops.

Roan stares at the leader.

‘Hmm.'

You see the wounded soldiers, large and small.

A sad heart.

‘If I had a kidney, it would have helped me heal. ’

But there was no way a priest could have been sent to this fortress.

‘The treatment system must be clearly captured. ’

The soldiers' lives were at stake.

Roan took a step with such complex thoughts.

Where he's headed is Agence's office.

In advance of the White Clan meeting, there was something to be confirmed.

‘I just need a little more time to get to the Fossil Exodus. ’

I can walk faster.

The flames of desperate aspiration bloomed in both eyes.

* * *

“There aren't more warriors than I thought. ”

“Most injuries are minor. ”

White seals continued to report.

Obviously the battle was won and there were fewer casualties.

However, the faces of Roan and the white artisans were dark.

Austin hesitates for a moment and opens his mouth carefully.

“He's clearly winning battles every time and has few casualties. But there are a lot of battles going on every single day. You don't know how to wet your crotch. There are quite a number of injured soldiers accumulating. ”

Sammy received a hint.

“Soldiers' fatigue is also dangerous. It can lead to morale. ”

Roan nods quietly.

It was the same idea as the Caucasians.

“Don't you have a better idea? ”

In Roan's question, all the white artisans kept their mouths shut.

But not because there was no way to offer it.

The suggestion was the hard way to do it, so I couldn't get it out of my mouth.

Roan glances at the white seals' faces and speaks first.

“Why don't you bring in the other territories? ”

Even the nearby Earl Chase did not have to go far, but there was a considerable number of homeless settlers.

Moreover, Nomads usually move to family units.

If he rented out a land where he could farm and a house where he could live, he could fill it with an army of adult sons.

‘After the Exodus is finished, the population of the Tails will have to increase. ’

Given that, it was most effective to attract the Nomads from other regions.

But...

“A small migration is unlikely. ”

“The lords and nobles won't just be watching the invasion of their lands. ”

Skeptical voices flow from one place to another.

However, once Roan opened his mouth, the white seals began to open up the suggestions that were in his heart.

Sammy scratches the table with his fingertips.

“How about buying some slaves? If you say you can be a civilian, you will fight quite bravely. ”

Thane shakes his head as he listens.

“I don't have the money to spare right now. ”

The vast majority of the military's finances were invested in Ford's mining industry.

At that moment, Pete spoke in a walking voice.

“Why don't you sign a contract with the mercenaries? After the war, we'll lose a lot of work, so we'll be able to hire you with a little less money. ”

Some white artisans nod.

But Austin was extremely skeptical.

“Anyway, the mercenary contract requires quite a bit of money. There's a good chance that if we get them on base, they'll lose courage and the military will be in chaos. ”

It was true.

Rather rough and liberal mercenaries often disoriented the military order.

‘Mercenaries are like double-edged swords. ’

Roan takes a deep breath.

‘It's a big weapon if you use it well, but you can cut your hands if you want. ’

Deep down.

The meeting went on, but I couldn't think of a sharp way.

I was deeply troubled.

Then.

“Hey.......”

It was Harrison who said the hard thing.

The youngest and least experienced Caucasian.

He looks around and speaks carefully.

“Why don't you ask Earl Lancefield? ”

Sammy shakes his head with a stiff face.

“When the Earl's Territory comes here, there will be chaos in the command system, and it will be a blessing..."

“No, I mean.......”

Harrison shakes his hand and hangs up Sammy's words.

He looks at Roan and says,

“I mean, why not bring in the colonists of Earl Lancefield? ”

“Ah.......”

White artisans burst low elasticity.

It's the same with Roan.

‘There will be no great crowd because of my movement in the territory. ’

Unlike other territories, Earl Lancefield had very few Nomads.

They had to relocate the settlers in each area.

Nevertheless, it was a much easier way to bring in the Nomads from other territories.

I just needed Io's permission.

‘I'll send a letter first. ’

If there is even the slightest possibility, we have to try.

‘I try other ways. ’

Purchase of slaves, migration of other local Nomads, and contract with mercenaries.

I did not know whether it would succeed or fail, but I decided it would be better to try several things.

My head was clear.

“I will combine the opinions given by the whites well to get things going. ”

Roan glances at the whites' faces.

“Watch out for white workers' health and fraud. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Both Austin and Sammy and the whites bowed their heads.

Roan clenches two fists.

“It will be a difficult time. But our armies of Amaranth…..”

My voice went out of my mind.

“Never give up. ”

The whites bow their heads, swallowing the drought.

I remembered the irregular expression on my face.

‘I trust Commander Roan. ’

The loyalty of Amaranth's men, including theirs, was absolute.

‘No matter what adversity we face, we can overcome it with Commander Roan. ’

There was a strange heat in the conference room.

It was a hot machine.

* * *

Roan sends a letter to Iow first.

The letter contained information about the recruitment of troops and the relocation of the colonists.

At the same time, Agents, who are active in the eastern region, ordered that slave purchases and mercenary contracts be pursued in the utmost confidence by other Nomads.

I haven't been able to make very fast progress because I don't have enough financial space yet.

But it was enough for Roan.

because things were getting better and better at the very least.

Phew!

Roan's fist smashes into a wooden stump.

“Whew.”

A long breath came out.

Devastation, literally.

The trees that were forming the forest could not stand the regime and kicking, and all fell down.

Roan focuses on practicing Raid law in the woods near his troops.

‘While military tactical training is important, individual training cannot go unnoticed. ’

I have been somewhat neglectful in my personal training while handling a lot of things at once.

The practice of the Flamdor Mana method, the Roan Changing technique, and many of the practical techniques that I remember in my head have been consistent, but I have neglected the training of the technique that made Raid the best in the human world.

Although I had not been familiar with the law itself, there are many things that are difficult to explore and interpret at the current level of Ronan because of the high level of martial arts in Raid Law.

‘It's still hard to perfect the rule…..’

Even after I learned the basic movements and flows of power, and how to use the Flemish Mana method, I became much stronger than before.

Movement was brief and simple, and the Mana in the body was able to operate much smoother and faster.

‘Mana management is knight-level. ’

Roan's Mana level has grown rapidly since the last hurricane.

I reached the intermediate level of articles beyond the academic undergraduate or beginner level.

But the true power of Mana is equal to that of a superior knight.

The Flemish Mana method was such a great Mana method.

‘With a little more training, we can extract the error. ’

Instead of covering Mana in the window, I was able to condense Mana to the level that I could extract the error.

If so, there will be very few people who surpass the Mana level of Ronan except for some knights, such as the Royal Knights or some other Royal Knights.

However.

‘There is no way to properly draw out the power of this error. ’

Originally, Roan Chang's method was invented by Fields for ordinary soldiers without Mana.

It was a shame to maximize the power of the error.

‘That's why we need to focus on practicing Raid Law. ’

At the moment, Raid was the only martial arts technique capable of exerting Mana's power properly.

He takes a deep breath and clenches his two fists.

Bubble Bug!

Five consecutive punches followed.

Bang!

The sturdy tree finally collapses.

A piece of wood falls from your hands.

Then something appeared in Roan's vision.

Hmm?

As I focused my gaze, the landscape that was far away seemed to be in front of my nose.

Troops?

A group is approaching the base.

You see a squad standing in front of the crowd.

Very familiar.

Earl Lancefield? ’

It was an unexpected appearance.

‘It must be before the letter arrives. ’

Roan tilts his head and steps forward.

The base was close.

By the time we arrived at the entrance, the paladins had heard the Earl Lancefield's flag.

Deng, Deng! Deng!

Austin and Sammy rush into the headquarters in fear.

Austin opened his mouth after taking a short ordinance.

“The flag of Earl Lancefield. ”

Roan nods slowly, instead of answering.

“What's going on all of a sudden? ”

Sammy asked with a curious expression.

But there was nothing for Roan to say.

He breathes for a moment, then gives the order.

“Let's get ready for guests. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Austin and Sammy answered in a loud voice.

The two of them soon moved around in a frenzy with the soldiers.

Thanks to you, I finished preparing sooner than I thought.

White artisans and Amaranth troops plunder behind Roan.

Majestic.

You see Earl Lancefield's flag outside the wide open doorway.

‘Ah.......’

At that moment, Roan bursts into low elasticity.

Under the flag.

A man in the lead, leading the pack.

I looked very familiar.

Roan lets out a short breath.

"Earl Lancefield. ’

I had a strange smile on my mouth.

The one who appeared with Earl Lancefield's flag.

He was none other than Iolansfield.

* * *

“The sunset in the Tails feels different. ”

Io looks up at the western sky, backpacking.

A red sunset spread along the ridge.

He was amazed at the firm, tall wooden fences and watchtowers surrounding the base.

“This is a hard and well-woven camp. ”

At that, Roan nods, a step back.

“A compliment.”

“It's not a compliment. Really, really great. ”

Io empowered his eyes as if he meant it.

Roan smiles faintly instead of answering.

‘I can't believe I made it this far in just seven months.......’

Io was amazed at Roan.

‘I was glad to stop by the tail area. ’

He was originally touring the southern reaches with knights and territorial forces.

Monsters are becoming more turbulent in the area bordering Lake Porsche these days.

He visited the Tail Region after clearing the area.

‘I didn't think Tails would be a better place…..’

Monsters Paradise.

That's why I thought their inference would be extreme.

Otherwise, I thought the ruined and barren land would be ruined.

However, Io's prediction was completely off the charts.

The Tail region was safer and more peaceful than any other region south of the erl.

The Iowa Knights and the Territorial Army have entered the Tail region and have not seen a single monster.

‘I really thought this was the right tailing area. ’

Io smiled deeply.

He looks directly into Roan's eyes.

‘This is all because of Roan. In just seven months, Roan did what he couldn't in years. ’

Io grabs Roan by the shoulder.

“Roan.”

“Yes, Earl. ”

“Thank you very much. ”

Suddenly, Roan was a little embarrassed.

“Well, what are you thankful for…..”

I smiled brightly at his stuttering words.

“For confirming that my eyes were not wrong. ”

“Ah.......”

Roan bursts a low elasticity.

Iow slapped Roan on the shoulder like that.

“I got your letter on the way here. ”

He pulls out an envelope from his arms.

It was written by Roan and sent through the Agency informant.

‘Oh, we ran into each other. ’

Roan looks a little nervous.

I was worried about how Io would react.

On the other hand, Io's expression was very bright.

He nods, smiling brightly without any worries.

“As you said, I will relocate some of my people to the Tail. ”

Iow looked around and said,

“The erl will never be as safe as this. ”

including tax exemption and relocation funding.

It was a condition that was quite appealing to the territory.

“Thank you very much. ”

Roan bows his head to Iow's cooling decision.

It was a moment when a big problem was solved.

Io smiled strangely at Roan's appearance.

‘Immigrate the territory to the tail area......? ’

My smile grew darker.

‘That's exactly what I wanted. If Roan defeats the monsters in the Tails perfectly.......’

My eyes sparkled and glowed.

‘Take Roan to the palace. ’

Roan was no longer a man to be left in the ranks of commanders.

Although they have committed a great sin of assaulting nobles, if they subdue monsters in the Tail region completely, they will earn enough money to pay for their sins.

‘Roan.'

Io's eyes softened.

His gaze stayed on Roan's face.

"I'll show you a whole new world. No......."

I feel my chest beating and my blood rushing.

‘I will open up a whole new world in front of you. ’
