I am the Monarch

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

“Look at that! ”

“Isn't that Baron Ant back there? ”

“Is it because you pulled out the camp on your own? ”

“You look like shit. ”

The Amaranth battalion headquarters in the middle of Mediah City are in a commotion.

Commanders and soldiers pour out, all looking at the same place.

< Amaranth. >

A group ahead of the troops.

In the forefront was Roan.

After that, an empty horse without a rider moves his feet.

A solid, thick rope filled with horse saddles.

The rope runs long to the back.

“Huff, huff. Huff. ”

Rough breathing.

At the end of the rope, a man moves his weary steps, his arms and body tightly wrapped around him.

George Ant.

Although it was a lost cause, he was sure to be Baron George Ant.

He is the identity of a sinner who has committed a grave crime.

This was dragged from the eastern Tail region to Mediacis.

Behind George, two white armies from the Amaranth army were shining a fierce light.

Yuck!

The door to the closed base has opened.

As Roan enters the entrance first, the troops scatter to the left and to the right.

“I understand you have tactical power and command, but is the commander of the Commonwealth allowed to treat nobles like that? ”

“Don't be silly. Baron Ant has done us a great deal of damage. ”

“Even so, would the other nobles still do something like that.......? ”

“Well, we'll see about that. ”

Worried faces and loud noises.

Roan did not listen to those words.

He had already decided what to do with George.

‘George Ant's defenses have brought the defense line down completely. ’

You had to build a new defense line to clear the monsters moving north through the defense line.

Thanks to his quick movements, we were able to pause the movement of the monsters for a moment.

Roan does not miss the opportunity.

I used my informants to deliver new orders to the nobles.

The nobles of the eastern region, who had suffered heavy losses because of George, responded quickly to Roan's orders.

Thanks to you, I was able to build a new defense line sooner than I thought.

‘I lost most of the south because I raised the defenses to the north. ’

It's like having to start a Punitive Battle all over again.

‘Even in this situation, he did not admit his guilt, but mocked his colleagues' deaths. ’

Da-da.

Roan grits his teeth.

At that time, a group of people poured out of a building in the center of the headquarters.

Prince Simon Rhynes and his men. The nobles got there first. ’

Roan summoned the nobles to the base in fear of finishing building the defense line.

It was George's punishment.

Roan steps down in a gentle motion and grips her.

A squad member quickly approached and handed over the Beep.

“Roan.”

Simon didn't look so good.

Because he knew what was going on.

Roan looks at the countless nobles' expressions after taking a ritual to Simon.

‘Most don't seem interested. It's annoying. The angry ones are like Baron Raell Fiad and Baron Delf Bleak, who were harmed by George. ’

I smiled bitterly.

I had no idea how serious the situation was.

‘I need you to awaken the rotten spirit. ’

Roan looks straight at Simon.

“I will punish Baron George Ant. ”

Simon takes a moment to breathe and nods.

“Let's do it. You have control of the Tail Region. ”

His face was hard, but his voice was soft.

‘At best, they'll be executed. ’

Even Simon thought so.

Nobles, they can't treat any more than the nobles who are leading an army.

It wasn't just Simon's idea.

‘What can I do if I don't do it? ’

"We can't treat the nobles of the kingdom lightly. ’

‘You could put him in jail for a few days. ’

Most of the nobles thought it would be nothing.

It's because Roan was a commoner, not a nobleman like himself.

Roan gives orders to his troops with his hands, whether he knows what these nobles are thinking.

Soon, wooden chairs were placed in the vacancy in front of the building.

Simon sits at the top and Roan sits in front of him.

On the chairs, the nobles sat.

“Phew. Phew. ”

George was still out of breath.

He kneels on the ground.

However, unlike before, my eyes were lively and my mouth was shining.

At that moment, you hear Roan's voice.

“From now on, regarding the punishment of Baroness George Ant.......”

When the horse goes on like that.

“Do you think you'll be safe with the nobles of the kingdom?" ”

A controversial voice.

George, who had just lowered his head, yells at Roan, looking straight at her.

In a sudden situation, Simon looks surprised, as well as the nobles accompanying him.

‘There are some nobles here who are friends with me. ’

George had a cornerstone of trust.

It was a completely different situation from when I was alone in Amaranth's army.

There are many nobles who will stand by your side.

In fact, several nobles muttered with a displeased look.

“Well, this is too much for the nobles. ”

“Are nobles any different? Hmmm.”

The atmosphere flowed strangely.

Nevertheless, Roan's expression was extremely bold.

He looked straight at George.

“Baron George Ant. You disobeyed the commander's orders and moved your camp at your own pace, inflicting heavy damage on your allies. ”

“Hmph! It was a safer place for me to be! ”

George brought up what he said before again as an excuse.

Roan continues to speak without hesitation.

“You also mock the dead and despise their deaths. ”

“Most of them were commoners! Nobles like me, the deaths of civilians aren't worth much! ”

George yells.

Living beside Roan's eyes sparkles.

“You piece of shit. You're still unconscious. ”

He pulls the regate dagger from his waist.

“I, Roan, have received operational and command authority in the Tail Region from Prince Simon Lines I. At the same time, he was given full authority over George Ant's punishment. ”

My voice was cold.

“George Ant. I will punish you for your crimes. ”

When he opened his eyes, five of Amaranth's men approached and plucked behind George Ant.

The atmosphere was unusual.

“Well, well! What are you gonna do? ”

George screams on purpose to hide his fear.

Puck!

Roan plugs a regate dagger into the chair handle.

“George Ant. Cut off two ears for disobeying a commander's orders. ”

“What, what? ”

George was startled and asked.

Simon and the other nobles looked surprised.

“Roan. Still, I can see the nobleman's ears..."

Simon sneaks up on you.

A little embarrassed.

However, he replied without even looking back.

“Rotten areas need to be cut clean. I'm just doing it by military law. ”

“Hmm. But.......”

Simon tries to catch up.

Roan draws his regate dagger and looks at Simon.

“If you don't want it, I'll give you back control of the Reagate Dagger and the Tail Region. ”

Superprecipitation.

Roan put everything on the line.

“Hmm.”

Simon swallows his moaning.

I have seen many battles, strategies, tactics, and conducting, and have come to know how brilliant Ronan is.

‘I can't miss this outstanding young nobleman because of such rubbish. ’

If we are to win the throne competition, we will need talents like Roan even more than the incompetent nobles.

‘But if the other nobles are shaken by this...'

The whole support base could have been shaken.

At that time, Baron Raell Piad, Baron Delf Bleak, who was badly wounded by Birch of Thio Ruin and George, who were Simon's best and most powerful men, stood up.

“Prince! Baron George Ant has killed more than a thousand soldiers and injured more than a thousand. ”

“The sin committed by Baron George Ant is an unforgivable sin, leaving the status of nobility and the common man. ”

“The territorial army of Baron Fiad has been wiped out. ”

Holy Land spilling.

Theo knelt on one knee toward Simon.

“On the battlefield, military law is solemn. I think it's right to empower Prince Roan because he gave his mission and command to Commander Roan. ”

After that, Delf and Rael followed.

“If the military force collapses, there will be no further victory. ”

Suddenly, the atmosphere changed.

The nobles who complained silently, noticing.

‘Tis Tio Luine. ’

Simon has a faint smile on his mouth.

It's reading the number of thios.

‘You knew what I was thinking and gave it to me from the front. ’

Thanks to you, the flow changed.

‘Even in this situation, nobles blah blah blah blah...'

My eyes became cooler.

‘You worthless bastard. ’

Even if I turn my back to support Prince 2 or Prince 3, I will applaud him.

‘The cubs who want to live in power without abilities will be a big hole and a weakness. ’

Simon sighs briefly.

“Heh. Baron Thio Luin, Baron Delf Bleak and Baron Rael Fiad were right. On the battlefield, the commander's orders and military laws are the most important. ”

He looks him straight in the eye.

“Roan. I was briefly distracted by my thoughts. Do as you will. ”

“Thank you."

After a short answer, Roan looks back at George.

I let out a deep sigh.

‘I had the prince's support. ’

As sure as I had gambled everything, I was sure of my income.

You have Simon, Thio, Delf and Rael's definite support.

The nobles who complained were unable to make a move.

Roan gestures at his men.

The squad members in the back press down on George's shoulder.

“Huh? Huh?"

George tries to struggle with his surprised expression, but he can't move.

He stares eagerly at the nobles around him.

“Are you all just going to watch? Ooh, we're nobles! ”

The voices of bars trembling.

The nobles simply shut their mouths and turned away from George's gaze.

“George Ant! Shut up and get punished! ”

Thio shouted with a loud voice.

“Son of a bitch! ”

After Rael's curse-mingled profanity.

Meantime.

Grrr.

A squad member pulls out a dagger.

“Ow!”

George yells at the cool energy behind his ears.

Moment.

Screaming!

With a eerie sound, George's ears are cut clean off.

“Ahhhh!”

George screams as he cries.

Red blood flows from both ears.

‘Ji, I really cut it. ’

I cut off the nobleman's ear! ’

The nobles in attendance and the general soldiers around them all looked surprised.

‘There is no difference in military law. ’

"Even aristocrats get the same punishment if they do wrong! ’

Everyone looks at Roan, swallowing his thirst.

Then.

With his mouth shut, Roan grabs the Regate Dagger once more.

“George Ant. As commander of one axis of the defense line, I dig my eyes out for the sin of not reading the battlefield and the history properly, and the sin of not stepping up to attack a group of monsters. ”

“Huff!"

The nearby nobles swallowed up the false wind.

Simon is surprised, but he doesn't make a move because he's already given everything to Roan.

“Ugh!”

George is half a man.

The squad with the dagger quickly dug out its eyes.

“Ahhhh!”

There was a long lament.

But he didn't want to stop there.

“George Ant. Cut out the tongue for mocking a colleague's death. ”

“Hmm.”

Now the nobles' faces have turned white.

They looked at George with a dazed gaze.

“Ugh. Ugh! ”

George shakes his head, but the Amaranth troops hold their heads steady.

Screaming.

As the dagger moves, the long tongue falls to the ground.

“Huff!”

Now I'm about to be out of breath.

George trembled all over like a scholar.

Roan rises from his seat, looking at him.

His hands reach for Travis' spear at the waist dance.

“George Ant. Last but not least, he is sentenced to death for violating the supreme laws of the Reich. ”

Chang!

Along with the sound of iron, Chang Blade appeared.

The soldiers who were holding George steady retreat.

“Uuurrgghhh.”

George began to lean with trembling all over his body.

Roan swings Travis' spear as if he was waiting.

Screaming!

The spear slits George's throat clean.

There was a strange silence in the intestine.

Among them, Roan slashed George's neck with his spear and lifted him high into the sky.

Eye, ear, and tongue cut off face.

George's head was covered in blood.

“Listen up, everyone. Military law applies equally to everyone. ”

Roan looks over at the nobles and soldiers and speaks.

“I punish those who sin by leaving the confession of their identity, and I reward those who build the ball. ”

Declaration.

In Roan's words, everyone swallowed the drought.

Especially for the nobles who were captivated by the privilege ceremony, it was a sensation.

‘Even though a commoner commander beheaded a nobleman, the prince has nothing to say. ’

‘It shouldn't be weird to have someone's head cut off now. ’

‘I'll get my head cut off if I have to. ’

The nobles stroke their necks with one hand.

“You're right! ”

“Nothing is wrong! ”

Thio, Delf, and Raell scream out loud.

It was to empower Roan's words to prevent the nobles from thinking otherwise.

Roan hands over George's head to his men.

“Make an example of it at the entrance to the headquarters. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

A resounding voice.

In the eyes of the Amaranth troops, the light of admiration was powerful.

‘Not even the nobles of the kingdom can tell Commander Roan. ’

Commander Roan is the best in the Tail Region! ’

In fact, they didn't expect him to be so rigorous and decisive.

Roan smiles faintly at the troops and turns his head to look at Simon.

The intestine is still in heavy silence.

Roan knelt on one knee after grabbing Travis Spear and the Reagate Dagger.

Very polite manners.

“George Ant's punishment is over. ”

Simon wakes up later.

“It was a great decision. ”

George is dead anyway.

Since we agreed to empower Roan, it would be better to fully support him.

Simon looks at the nobles with a stiff expression and smiles at Roan.

“In the future, I will leave you with everything you need to know about the Tail County nonprofit and punishment. ”

“Thank you."

Roan didn't say no.

He knew how powerful this would be for him and his weapon.

“Of course. I look forward to it. ”

Simon taps Roan on the shoulder and enters the base building with his best men.

The rest of the nobles stared at me and disappeared to the building where they were staying.

The rest of Roan takes a deep breath.

‘The nobles will no longer be able to disobey orders carelessly. ’

Clearly, I was overwhelmed.

I remembered the white faces of the nobles.

‘Now that I've used my whip once, it's time to give me a carrot. ’

Roan also knew that the nobles were Simon's biggest supportive base.

I had to stop them from shaking as much as they could.

In my mind, the following plans were made calmly:

At that time, a familiar face appeared among the surrounding soldiers.

“Huh?"

Rarely surprised, Roan opened his eyes wide.

Very happy face.

“Chris.”

“Commander.”

Chris, who is on stage at Faver Castle, has appeared in Mediacis.

The two of them held each other's hands and were silent for a long time.

A soft smile and a warm look replaced the conversation.

“Commander.”

A moment later, Chris speaks out in a low voice.

Roan nods quietly.

Chris' voice is getting smaller.

“There's something you need to check out. ”

Roan glances into Chris' eyes quietly.

Chris' words carefully continued.

“It seems that there is a spy among the remaining nobles in the Tail region. ”

* * *

“So you want me to hold hands with Column? ”

“Yes.”

Short answer.

However, the expression on the middle-aged man's face was very serious.

“Hmm.”

The young man who heard the answer frowned with one hand on his chin.

‘I have to hold hands with my brother.......’

The young man who was troubled was Tommy Lines, the second prince of the Rhine Kingdom.

“Earl Chase. Are you sure this is a good situation for Simon? ”

“Yes, at this rate, Prince 1st will be ahead of the throne competition. ”

The middle-aged man with the serious expression was Earl Jonathan Chase.

He whispered in a small voice.

“Prince 1st is currently staying in the northern shoal of Lake Foucane. This is Roan, the regional commander who blew the head off of the Eastern Army commander Benjamin Doyle. He's so talented, he can't resist the forces of the Fossil Cane.

Looks like they're blocking it brilliantly. ”

“How do you know so precisely? ”

“When the Doyle incident occurred, we had some of our best men infiltrate his unit. ”

“Ah.......”

Tommy bursts into low elasticity.

His eyes sparkle and glow.

“Connection to the nobles planted on our side.......”

“No, it's much more useful to not know each other. ”

Jonathan quickly shakes his head.

“That way, even if one person is exposed, the other one can live. ”

“Hmm. That again.......”

Tommy quickly admitted and nodded.

Jonathan vomits a short breath.

“Hoo. We need to concentrate on working with Prince Three. ”

“But will the column hold my hand? ”

“That's.......”

Jonathan smiles.

He said with a very confident expression.

“Send me to Prince Three. I assure you, I will. ”

“Oh! You must be confident. ”

Tommy smiles brightly and nods.

Jonathan knelt on one knee.

“I'm just doing my best for the prince. ”

Very polite and polite.

Tommy nods, satisfied.

“Fine. I'll leave the matter to you. If this goes well, I will reward you greatly. ”

“Thank you."

Jonathan quickly bows his head.

The smile on my mouth became darker.

Let's get started, shall we? ’

Cold eyes in the middle of nowhere.

It reminded me of the eye of a snake.
