I am the Monarch
< Chapter 18 Phosphane Exodus >
------------------------------------
“Hmm.”
Simon and the knights nod with a cry.
‘It's a much better unit than I thought it would be. ’
He's never seen a tactic, including Simon, that actively utilizes small squads like Amaranth's.
Split up, get together, break up and regroup.
Amaranth's forces remind me of a vast stream of water.
Finished.
The battle ended with the completion of Amaranth's army.
Gulp.
Simon swallows the drought.
“Earl Lancefield. Amaranth's troops are extraordinary. ”
My heart just popped out.
Instead of his answer, he just smiled.
Then.
Two or two.
Phil's horse sprints toward Simon with a hoof.
Fair expression and vigor.
Instead of a sharp spear, the base sits on its side flares violently.
Io, who was watching, whispered in a small voice.
“That's Ronan, commander of Amaranth's unit. ”
“Truly magnificent. ”
Simon nods with a satisfied expression.
Meanwhile, Roan approaches.
Heeheeheeheeheehee!
The horse pauses gently as he pulls on the horse.
Roan lands on the ground and quickly sticks a flag in his chest.
Phew!
The Amaranth battalion straightens out and gives way.
Roan kneels down on one knee.
Politeness while being strong and coarse.
“Ronan, commander of the Amaranth army, is here to see Prince Simon Rhynes. ”
Powerful voice.
Roan bows and chooses his breath.
His face seemed complicated without knowing where.
‘I didn't expect to see you so soon. ’
I have a strange glow in my eyes.
Simon Lines. 1st Prince of the Kingdom....... ’
My heart was pounding.
‘The one who will become the Lord of Days. ’
* * *
One of Roan's commitments after he returned to the past was to stop the Lord Gwangju.
"He should have been the next king if he were to be. ’
But in the end, the king was taken over by his brother.
‘And went crazy. ’
Then they killed Bradley Webster, a patron and an outsider, and started a rebellion in the western part of the kingdom.
He was called Guangzhou because he ruled by his own power.
The insurgency was not easily contained because of its original capabilities.
That's why even after the arrival of the genius of the century, Pills and Ian, the Rhine Kingdom was unable to rise to the ranks of the empire while repairing internal redness.
‘If it weren't for the Berserkers, the whole northeast continent would be united. ’
That's why Roan was going to try to stop Simon from going crazy in any way.
But he's the prince of one country.
Roan, who was a sinner and a rank commander, was not someone I could carelessly meet.
Of course, he knew Simon was being dispatched to the North because of the phoskeine exodus.
Last time, however, I headed to Earl Lancefield's Faver Castle, not here in the Tails.
‘The future has changed a little because of me. ’
Today's encounter was completely unexpected.
“Great defense. ”
Simon nods with an amazed look, looking at the town's wooden plank and watchtower.
“A compliment.”
Roan quickly clears his mind and bows.
“No, it's really great. ”
Simon glances back at the scepter and watchtower and smiles with a joyful smile.
For a while, the two men scouted the village where Amaranth's base of operations was located.
‘This is just a rural village, but the family tree and house are very well organized. ’
It wasn't just defensive.
The path that crossed the interior of the village was smooth and firm, and the houses built from wood were well maintained.
Above all, even in the dangerous situation where monsters are rampaging, the villagers' expressions brighten.
Simon nods with a joyful look.
“You're in charge of the tailing area. I like people's faces. ”
“I'm just doing my best to do my job. ”
Roan lowers his head, answering humbly.
After that, Simon looked around the town and out of the woodshed for large and small seriousness.
“You said you don't have a town yet? ”
Questions asked lightly.
“Yes, it's a recent village, and everyone calls it the Central Village. ”
In Roan's reply, Simon ponders for a moment and gives a bright look.
“How's Mediacis? ”
It means center and foundation.
He didn't have a say in the matter.
“That's a great name. ”
You duck your head, smiling faintly.
Simon looks at Roan like that and asks in a gentle voice.
“Roan. Subjugating these monsters is very important to me and other nobles. It must be a major boost. ”
Somewhat serious expression.
Of course. It was a war that could have been decided for the next king.
As Simon, I had to risk everything before this subjugation.
“The tail region is the front line in the whole of the north. If you block this place completely, rear clearance shouldn't be too difficult. Therefore, our troops will use this place as a place to defeat monsters. But we really don't want to do that here in the Tails.
I don't know much about it. ”
I had some expectations in my voice.
“On the contrary, you have done a great job as head of the region. By the way…..”
Silence for a moment.
Simon breathes his last words.
“Do you have any ideas or plans for monster extermination? ”
It was a thoughtless question, but it was quite surprising.
The First Prince of the Kingdom asks the commander of the common folk for his opinion.
This was unprecedented.
If there were pilgrims or nobles, they would be in a panic.
However, Simon was very busy.
‘If I had the ability, I would not be a sinner or a slave. ’
This is Simon's idea.
Talent was needed to win the throne competition.
After clearing his mind for a moment, Roan slowly raises his head and looks Simon in the eye.
“I don't know if this is a good idea or a plan, but I'm ready. ”
Calm expression and voice.
Roan pulls out two scrolls of paper from his arms.
He spread one of them out and placed it on a wide stand in the corner of the street.
“This?”
At that moment, Simon looks surprised.
I opened my eyes wide as if I didn't expect anything at all.
On the other hand, Roan nods calmly.
“Yes, that's right. A map of the Tail Region. ”
The identity of the scroll was a map of the tail region that Roan had carefully recorded and revised by Agence informants.
"Map......."
The silence settled between the two of them.
He also thought that mapping was considered a very dangerous act.
Because spills to other countries can cause enormous damage.
Roan whispers in a small voice, looking at Simon's stiff face.
“The usefulness of maps in combat and war is enormous. ”
He unfolds the second scroll.
Similarly, a map of the tail region was drawn, but unlike the first map, there were numerous dots and arrows added.
“The point of this map is where the monster subjugation took place, and these arrows document the direction of the monsters' movement. ”
The fingers move busily.
“Analysis shows that monsters are moving north on mountainous foothills, which lie mainly in the southeast and the east. It also makes use of the canal between Mediacis and the western plains. ”
Simon nods unknowingly.
The landscape of the battlefield seemed to unfold before my eyes.
The points and arrows on the map have helped you understand the flow of the world.
Roan reopened the first map.
“Based on the information we collected and analyzed, we have constructed and installed several traps and obstacles along with the seriousness of large and small. ”
“Ah……! ”
At that moment, a low elasticity flows from Simon's mouth.
It was as Roan said.
On the first map, there were signs of an earthquake, a trap, and a base node that was primarily situated on the monster's main path.
You weren't just fighting like hell! ’
Simon swallows his thirsty saliva unknowingly.
Once again, I admire Roan's ability.
‘It is a shame to make him commander of a unit. ’
I was sure.
Roan looks down at Simon with a complex expression.
“I know what you're worried about. So with military maps like this, we're very careful not to let them out. ”
“Hmm.”
Simon nods with a low depression.
“Surely a map like this would be helpful. ”
Positive remark.
Roan nods coldly.
“Yes, it will also help to deploy and move troops. ”
The words loosen Simon's eyes gently.
“Excellent. You should be blamed for making the map carelessly, but I'll forgive you in particular as the situation presents itself." No....... ”
My mouth went up gently.
“Actually, I think it was a pretty good thing. With this map, you'll have complete control of the tail area. ”
Simon taps Roan on the shoulder with a joyful look.
"Hoo. Is that good? ’
Roan sighs deeply.
In fact, the map was an adventure for him.
Mapping was that sensitive.
However, when I saw Simon's behavior before the Gwangju, I thought that this situation would empower me to make maps.
"Before the Lord Gwangju, he was very rational and valued for his individual abilities. ’
That is why, at that time, talented individuals from the ordinary public were able to enter the central position without being entrusted with identity.
“Roan, shall we return to base now?" ”
Reconnaissance was over.
“Yes, I'll lead the way. ”
Roan quickly retrieves the map, puts it in his arms, and takes a step forward.
Simon smiles strangely and follows.
The two of them soon arrived at the headquarters meeting room where Iowa and various nobles had gathered.
“Are you finished scouting? ”
Io smiled brightly and asked.
Simon glances at Roan once and nods.
“Very good. ”
At that, the nobles nodded.
Like Simon said, they were also in great shock at the Central Village, or at least at the guards of Mediacis and the armies of Amaranth.
Simon took his place in the seat that Io had prepared.
Roan establishes politely behind the nobles.
“As you all know, we have decided to subdue the monsters in the Northern Kingdom by using the tail region as a node. ”
“Yes.”
Several nobles nod at Simon's words.
“That's why the tail area is more important than anywhere else. You can't just hand over control and control of this place to anyone. ”
He pauses, then smiles faintly.
At that moment, Simon's gaze turned to Roan.
“Roan, I would like to give you control of the operations and command of this Tail region. ”
“Ah.......”
Roan and many other nobles burst into low elasticity.
Because I knew the weight of Simon's story.
Prince Simon has practically entrusted the heart of the legion to Roan! ’
Io bows his head with a somewhat touching look.
However, many other nobles reacted very harshly.
“Prince, Roan is a sinner. I can't believe you'd let that guy take over the core of the Army. Absolutely not. ”
“Though it is confined to the Tail region, some nobles may have to obey his orders if they are to give control and control to the common people....... ”
Faces that are almost tearful.
Simon looks nervously.
‘If it weren't for the throne competition, they would have thrown it away. ’
The kind of bugs who live in a family without abilities.
But now I had to drag those bastards along.
"If you walk away from the guilt of Roan..."
Simon shakes his hand and silences the nobles, then looks at Roan.
“At this very moment, I, Simon Lines, the First and Lord of the Reich, will absolve Roan of all his sins on behalf of his father, King Denny III. ”
“My prince!"
The nobles scream in surprise.
“My prince, the forgiveness of sinners is so easy.......”
“Enough.”
Simon shakes his hand and stops it.
His eyes tightened.
“Tell me. Has anyone majored in anything as revolutionary as Roan, from exterminating monsters in the Plain of Pedian to exterminating monsters in Lake Porsche? ”
“But he is guilty of assaulting a nobleman.......”
“Nobles? You mean that rotten Benjamin? After numerous investigations, Benjamin Doyle's guilt and guilt have already been revealed. Do you still hold such a man in your custody? ”
Frostbite.
The nobles frowned and silenced.
In the first place, they decided to follow Simon.
I didn't have to hate you here for nothing.
“Listen up, everyone. ”
Simon speaks in a loud voice.
“I like talented people. I don't care if he's a sinner or a slave, if he has the ability. ”
“Yes, I understand. ”
All the nobles bowed their heads and responded in one voice.
Talent Secondary.
This was Simon's philosophy and values.
‘That's why I couldn't stand being taken over by my brother who was less powerful than himself. ’
Of course, there was a defining event that drove him crazy.
Thinking about that horrible incident at that time, my heart became heavy.
Roan sighs a little.
Then.
“Roan.”
I hear Simon's voice.
“Come out here. ”
At this point, Roan carefully steps forward and stands in front of Simon.
There was a heavy silence in the conference room.
Simon slowly gets up from his seat and releases the dagger he was wearing on his waist.
A sword with a spectacular appearance that is considered practical.
He draws his dagger toward Roan.
“This dagger was given to me by His Majesty on the day I became of age. The king was made by the famous smiths and jewellers of Mill. A god who is my symbol and the one who proves the identity of the First Prince, who I call the Reagate Dagger.
Water. "
Simon's gaze is towards the nobles.
“I'm going to give this Reagate Dagger to Roan. Consider Roan's orders as my orders and obey them as well as you do within this Tail region. ”
Suddenly, I felt breathless.
The nobles conflicted with complex expressions and soon bowed their heads.
“Yes, I'll keep that in mind. ”
Simon nods with a satisfied expression and looks at Roan.
“Roan, I command you to take this Reagate Dagger. ”
“Ah.......”
Roan quickly knelt on one knee with low elasticity.
He lowered his head slightly and spread his hands carefully.
Chuck.
A regate dagger is placed on the palm of your hand.
“Roan. This Reagate Dagger.......”
Whispering little voices.
“We must return it with a victory over the subjugation. ”
It reminded me of a somewhat funny face.
Roan replies as he stands behind the Reagate Dagger.
“Yes, I will win. ”
A slightly trembling voice.
Roan was impressed.
‘I, the commander of the ordinary people, am now in command and control of the Tail region, which is the core of the troops. ’
I was recognized by Simon, the First Prince of the Realm, and brought into the hands of several nobles.
Compared to the last life, this life was truly a complete reversal.
In a cautious move, Roan kicks the Regate Dagger in the waist.
The spectacular appearance shines with the light.
The eyes of the nobles pour down on Roan.
Aspirations, jealousy, offense.
Eyes mixed with emotions.
"Can you now call them 'feet' or not….."
I gripped my teeth.
‘It was up to me. ’
My heart was beating fast.
It may not have been easy, but I was myself.
I was going to show the nobles my abilities.
‘Not because of the prince's order.......’
There was a spark in my eyes.
‘I will make you want to follow me. ’
The heart that was beating rapidly returned to its original state.
The excitement that was rising also subsided.
Roan glances at the nobles with a calm expression.
The plans ahead have calmed down in my head.
Roan was no longer an ordinary commander.
