I am the Monarch

< Chapter 18 Phosphane Exodus >

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

The blackness of darkness.

Roan climbs up the southern watchtower alone.

The starlight, as well as the moonlight, was immersed in a cloudy cloud.

"Spy......."

Two days ago, the information Chris brought was rather shocking.

‘I thought there could be many ordinary soldiers. ’

However, I did not expect that there would be a spy among the nobles protecting Simon from the extremes.

‘That too is two of the nobles leading the base. ’

There were two noble spies that Chris found out about.

Baron Luke Eif and Baron Elton Court.

Among them, Luke was a spy for Two-Man Tommy Rhine, and Elton was a spy for Three-Man Column Rhine.

They didn't know who each other was.

‘Moreover, this is not the end. ’

Chris expects one to two more spies.

‘It is important to find the undisclosed internal spies. ’

Until then, I intend to move Luke and Elton to the rear camp.

I was going to closely monitor how they were communicating with the prince and find others who were behaving similar to him.

“Whew.”

Roan sighs a long time.

Suddenly things are getting too complicated and huge around me.

The rank was still a commander, but what he was doing was like a nobleman.

‘Some nobles have restrained me from executing George Ant here. ’

In fact, it was a big gamble for Roan to behead George.

If Simon had been obsessed with political logic, he was more likely to have been kicked out of the military or lost his life before making a big statement.

But he believed in his judgment.

No, I trusted the eyes of my people.

I thought that a great ambitious and skill-conscious Simon would take his side, not George's.

Luckily, everything was a gamble.

Simon gives Roan wings.

Today, the majority of nobles were forced to swallow complaints because of Simon, Theo, and Rael's declaration of support.

Thanks to this, a strange stream of air flows through the base.

It was because, following Simon's orders and admitting Roan's ability, it was difficult to easily acknowledge soybeans of the existence of another Roan from birth.

It's like walking on ice.

‘Still, it is a great income to have the full support of Baron Raell Piad. ’

Roan handed over all of George's Territories to Rael.

Rael was greatly moved by the unexpected consideration that the British army was obliterating him.

He thanked Roan greatly and reinforced the Declaration of Support once again.

‘It's time to captivate the hearts of the other nobles. ’

I didn't want to give bribes like money or jewelry

‘Demonstrates my ability. ’

Excellent skill at giving thanks and following.

I was going to show it.

Roan gazes out at the open field beyond the watchtower.

Darkness settles, but Calian's tears make me see brightly through the day.

‘Let's have some fun. ’

I was going to sweat a lot.

My heart was beating fast and my blood rushed.

* * *

Roan has deployed Luke and Elton to the northern border of the Tail.

Luke and Elton did not make it easy for them to understand why they had to go backwards, but he convinced them for a good reason.

An excuse that George has greatly lost the Southern Territories and that the monsters' sub-east range has expanded to the northern borders.

Luke and Elton head north with no more horses to tell them it's a very important mission.

Roan then summoned all the nobles to plan a new monster subjugation.

We needed to push the current line north to the south to build a defensive line on the shore of Lake Foucane.

Roan entrusted the mission to Baron Thio Ruin, Baron Delf Bleak and Baron Raell Fiad.

A force that strongly supports itself.

And he himself decided to take the rest of the nobles who were opposed to him and subdue the monsters in the southern region.

The nobles agreed with Roan without saying anything.

It's because George has already disobeyed and disobeyed orders, and he's smart enough to see what he looks like.

The next day, Thio, Delf and Raell leave the base.

Simon also led the base of the greatest forces and invaded an independent subjugation campaign around Mediacis.

Roan quickly assembled the rest of the nobles and set up a tactical meeting.

“According to the Intelligence Service, …..”

When developing tactics and strategies, he consulted information collected by agencies and intelligence agencies.

The operation was also very important to Roan.

I was going to show my ability as a commander to the nobles who opposed me.

If I was wrong, I had meetings with white artisans all night long for this strategy.

Roan smiles at the nobles who are listening to him.

‘I can design the battlefield. ’

The operation meeting went on for a long time.

After a while, the nobles left the conference room one by one.

“How's it going? Was that a pre-op meeting? ”

“I don't know. Too dumb? Honestly, they're nonsense. ”

“Nicknamed the ghost of the battlefield, I guess I'm fascinated by the name. ”

The nobles burst into laughter, recalling a meeting of operations that had just begun.

“Monsters appear at the end of the Southern Meadow of Mediacis just before sunset, so be prepared to scare them?" ”

“I told you to hide in the northeast grass before that. Apparently, scared monsters are running towards you. ”

“Still, everyone's better off than me. I don't know. With only 100 foot soldiers.......”

“I……"

Strange stories come and go with a face that you won't understand for a while.

“I think I'm too confident in that informant or whatever. ”

“I know. Let's just wait until dinner. ”

“Is there really a herd of monsters? ”

The nobles' mouths have a nasty, bitter smile.

They wanted him to make a big mistake and be humiliated and put down his operations and command.

The sun that was rising in the sky gradually passed over the west.

And a lie.

Deng, Deng! Deng! Jing, Jing!

The bells and bells toll for monsters at the base.

“Did you really see a bunch of monsters?! ”

“It's almost sunset. ”

“Hmm.”

The nobles swallowed the depression with a surprised look.

But I couldn't stay that way forever.

“Charge!”

“Here we go!”

They march quickly, as Roan instructed.

Each of the 2,000 British troops broke through the base.

Roan stands at the watchtower and watches.

I smiled.

‘Everything will be done as I will. ’

* * *

The battle proceeded as Roan had planned and predicted.

The hordes of monsters that appeared on the southern edge of the field were bewildered by the nobles' attacks and fled to the northeast grass.

There, however, were ambushed by other noble lords who had already been commanded by Roan.

Moreover, the Nodes, Series and Obstacles installed before the Fossil Exodus started were in place on the element.

Queek!

The hordes of monsters are scattered in all directions, surprised by the unexpected ambush.

“Do not pursue! That's all we have to do! ”

The territorial troops responsible for ambush attacks held their ground in place instead of pursuit.

Their eyes were full of surprises.

‘Everything is as commander Roan planned. ’

The monsters that were scattered everywhere had to change direction soon again.

Roan was able to pinpoint their escape route.

At least 100, and at most 500 British soldiers guarded dozens of escape routes.

Jing, Jing! Jing, ding! Bang! Bang!

High flags and loud jingles and drums.

The monsters are frightened of the lever and rush towards the east, where they feel no movement.

The monsters that were scattered to the four winds came together again.

And finally, they reach the end of the Eastern Lumberjack.

It's blocked by rugged mountain ranges and all around it are long growing weeds.

“That's amazing. ”

“The movement of the monsters matched exactly what Commander Roan said. ”

“Is it possible to predict accurately like this? ”

A monster, not a human.

They're instinctual rather than rational.

It was more difficult to predict.

Then.

“You've come to the right place. ”

“There are no errors. ”

The nobles' gaze is to the west.

A troop that rises high above the weeds.

< Amaranth. >

Amaranth's troops appear behind the monsters.

At the same time.

Idiot!

Thousands of angry people broke the dim sky.

Bubble Bug!

You catch a fire on the thin grass.

Queeeek!

The hordes of monsters quickly caught on fire.

And...

Blame!

Roan stomps to the ground and plunges into the flames.

Brave and majestic.

Chang!

Travis' spear grows longer with the sound of iron.

A faint light flows through the window.

The Flamdor Mana method explodes the energy of your entire body.

Glug glug!

The burning flames of the field make Roan's power even more powerful.

Hwa-oh!

Moreover, the flame of the scarlet girl moves like a dance along Roan's movements, gestures, and spears.

“Ah.......”

“Ahh.”

All the nobles who were watching the appearance opened their mouths in shock.

A blaze that flows through windows and windows.

It seemed to see the master of fire, the lord of fire.

Gulp.

Everyone swallowed the drought.

Looking at Roan's dance in front of my eyes, one side of my chest cools off.

‘Well, yes. Prince 1st did not appoint an innocent man as head of a district. ’

‘Excellent insight and strategy and tactics. That dance over there! ’

I have chicken skin on my skin.

In the meantime, the fire blazes over the hordes of monsters and fades away.

The trumpet sounds like you've been waiting.

Boooooo!

Amaranth's troops rush in from behind at the same time.

Fierce Charge with Small Shield Up Front!

Boom!

Armies of Amaranth and the hordes of monsters!

The battle has just begun, but it is already ending.

The hordes of monsters are no match for Roan and Amaranth.

* * *

The battle ended with the completion of Amaranth's army.

Monsters have perished without ever resisting the change.

Roan and the nobles led the troops back to the stronghold.

“Whoa!”

“Amaranth! Amaranth! ”

“Roan! Roan! ”

The soldiers guarding the base cheered for the returning troops.

Roan looks confident and heads to the headquarters.

The nobles who were sent on this mission followed.

Their expressions were strangely awkward.

‘I won, but I don't know if I should like it. ’

‘I was hoping he'd slip. ’

‘Something feels like you've done it all by yourself. ’

Kind of chilly.

At that time, Roan, who was seated at the top of the conference room, stood up and took the ordinance.

“Many nobles helped us win the battle. ”

Polite and courteous attitude.

“Huh?"

The nobles look puzzled by the sudden situation.

One of them said in a slightly blunt voice.

“Commander Roan built the biggest major anyway. ”

At that, Roan shakes his head.

“This was possible because you have done the duty of various nobles accurately. I just cleaned up. The biggest player in this battle.......”

He blurs for a moment, then bows his head again.

“These are the nobles. ”

“Hmmm.”

You hear an awkward cough.

I never thought I'd hear a compliment from Roan here.

"He wasn't a rare one. ’

I suddenly thought that.

‘Moreover, as you saw in the battle earlier, dance is also great. ’

"He is more likely to be bigger than this. ’

‘I might become a noble after the subjugation. ’

At that moment, you hear Roan's voice.

“I'll make sure to keep a thorough record of this and report back to you when it's over. ”

“Hmmm. What a big deal. Hahaha.”

Laughter erupts from everywhere, as if I didn't hate it.

The nobles were satisfied.

Currently, Roan was supported and recognized by Simon.

If such a person reported the specialty in person, they were more likely to notice Simon.

‘This is a great opportunity. ’

‘Yes. Even if it is because of this, you don't have to pretend with Roan. ’

The majority of the nobles nod with a joyful smile.

Of course, not all nobles had this idea.

"Hmph! You're just like him. ’

‘You're going to use a different stick and carrot. Hmph! "

An unpleasant light flashes into the eyes of some nobles for a moment.

But they didn't struggle.

By the way, Roan was the current head of Tail Region.

‘But some feel favorable. ’

Roan smiles at the nobles.

I knew that I couldn't captivate the whole nobleman with a carrot like this.

However, the struggle between himself and the nobles has only just begun.

‘I'll keep you awake. ’

I had a strange smile on my mouth.

Roan rises from his seat and lowers his head slightly.

“Thank you all for your efforts today. ”

That's how the pre- and post-war meeting ended.

The nobles got up one by one and left the conference room.

Some of them even approached Roan and asked him to shake his hand.

The lone Roan takes out a lump of thick paper without rest.

In his daily life, small and large, he did not hesitate to study.

‘There are still many things missing. ’

There was more than just talent and effort in my last life.

That's why I lost my life as commander of the Spearman Squad.

But this life had already become the head of a region and had bigger, broader dreams.

‘I need to learn more, and I need to work harder. ’

I had to have everything I needed.

I didn't want to be a bright apricot.

“Now, let's summarize the two princes and the three princes. ”

Roan takes a deep breath with a pen.

Square. Square.

The meeting room only heard the sound of the pen rolling for a while.

* * *

“Hahaha!”

Simon nods with a big smile.

He was very satisfied with the current situation.

Just when some defense lines were pushed north due to George Ant's defenses, I thought the punitive war was wrong.

There, even the internal shackles falter greatly as Roan executed Baron George Ant.

If this news were to be made public in the central regime, many nobles would be able to revolt.

Something that could shake the whole support base.

Simon immediately contacted the duc Bradley Webster, an outsider.

Bradley, who was fending off the other ducs in the royal province, hurriedly moved as soon as he received Simon's letter.

He spread George Ant's blasphemy and incompetence throughout the major social circles of Mill as well.

In addition, along with Simon's role, he greatly expanded Roan's specialty, which he chose and empowered, and reported to various nobles and kings.

Thanks to this, Simon is rumored to be a valiant warrior with insight into talent.

Of course, the person who got the most attention was Roan.

Roan begins to reveal his name to the central political community without even knowing it.

‘The only problem I have left are my two brothers.......’

Perhaps after the subjugation, Tommy and Column will fall on Roan's head.

‘But by then it'll be too late. Hehe.’

There was a way of thinking about it.

Simon's eyes curl fiercely.

‘By the way, I can't believe they're holding hands. ’

I didn't expect Tommy and Column to be allies.

Thanks to you, the gap between you and your two brothers is not bigger than you think.

‘But the fact that I am ahead of you in this Punitive Battle is true. ’

Even if you can't be appointed as the next royal cabinet right away, you'll still be one step ahead of the succession competition.

‘I was good enough to leave the tail area to Roan. ’

It was all because of Roan.

Roan has clearly identified and moved everything, as if he had placed the tailing area on the palm of his hand.

Unlike other regions, monsters in the Tail region have never been able to spread properly.

The defensive line that was pushed north was again built towards the southern shore of Lake Porsche, and even the extremely aggressive hordes of monsters decreased sharply over time.

‘It's almost time for the punitive war to end. ’

I felt overwhelmed.

“Hahaha!”

Simon laughs again, impatient.

Ralph Tynes, the knight in the rear, smiles.

Then someone knocked on the door of the office.

Knock, knock. Knock.

At the same time, I heard a very good voice.

“I'm Roan.”

At that moment, Simon's expression brightens.

“Oh! Come in. ”

Roan enters the inside of the Oval Office, terrified of permission.

Although you may have looked a little tired from the repetitive battles, your eyes are still shining brightly.

“Hahaha! Roan. I think I can see the end of the war! I heard the number of monsters has decreased! Hahaha!”

He smiles loudly and asks with a gentle expression.

“Yes. What's going on today? ”

Feel free to do anything you ask.

Simon was so happy and happy.

Somehow, Roan's expression was quite dark.

“Unusual information has been obtained. ”

“Information?”

Simon frowns.

Roan speaks in a calm voice.

“Perhaps we should strengthen our defenses in the Tail Region. ”

“Why all of a sudden…..”

The number of monsters has declined dramatically over the past few days.

The number of monsters pouring from Lake Porsche has drastically decreased.

Simon thought the Inner Court was ending.

Instead, he said that he had to defend himself.

I couldn't understand at all.

After taking a breath, Roan replies slowly.

“It looks like the monsters of Lake Foucane are preparing for their final counterattack. ”

A voice that sank low.

Roan's eyes gleam and glow.

I cannot honestly say, but the time has come for that to happen.

‘The Final Exodus is about to begin. ’
