I am the Monarch
< Chapter 19 Salvation >
------------------------------------
“Dammit! That old man is a real pain in the ass. ”
“Anyway, I see the end now. ”
Baron Luke Eif and Baron Mito Posis smiled bitterly.
Their gaze rises over the battlefield.
“You bastards! We'll never get through here! ”
Between hills and hills.
A sturdy old man who swings his sword around in a narrow lane.
It was Io Lansfield who was in command of the subordinates.
He has so far stopped 4,000 barons with a handful of knights and territorial forces.
However, the number of survivors can now be counted by the eyes due to repeated battles.
‘Hehe! We must defend this road. ’
If we can block this place, we can tie Luke and Mito's feet together for a while.
“To the Leo Knights! ”
The knights who were resting for a moment on Io's orders protrude to the front line.
Squeak, squeak!
A sharp sword cuts the barons' throats as it cuts through the space.
Truly great nothingness.
But there were too many barons.
“Die!”
“Kill! We must capture the prince! ”
After the fallen soldiers, new soldiers appear.
They swung their spears and swords as hard as they could.
Squeak.
The exhausted knights couldn't completely evade the attacks of ordinary soldiers.
A spear pierces the knight's forearm.
“Hehe! You bastards! ”
The knight shakes his head as he spits out his swear words.
You try to retreat, but the baron's soldiers cling to you like ants.
“Grrrgh!"
Eventually, a knight falls down, losing his life.
“Hehe.”
Iow gripped his teeth as he watched the scene.
Knights and soldiers going down one by one.
The defensive line that was blocking the road was loosening.
Then you hear Luke and Mito's voice.
“Hahaha! Io lansfil! You must be tired, too! ”
“It's time to catch the old tiger! ”
That's ridicule.
But Io did not react.
I just stared at them with cold, cold eyes.
‘Eek. What look in his eyes.......’
"A tiger is a tiger even when it is old. ’
Luke and Mito shrug their throats as they calm down for no reason.
“Kill him!”
“Kill them and chase after the prince! ”
I shouted at the shame for no reason.
The two barons, who hesitated for a moment, rush towards Iowa's rear guard.
The moment of the incision.
Then.
“Huh?"
“What is it?”
The baron's soldiers frown.
A strange feeling that wraps around your body.
I'm pretty sure I trembled under my feet.
Two or two!
Immediately, the sound of the earth ringing hit my ears.
I don't need to listen anymore.
Everyone's gaze is towards the rear of the rear guard.
Between hills and hills.
Even beyond the road, the cloudy dust rose.
Troops!
Iow swallowed the dry saliva.
Because the identity of the troops rushing with the dust was uncertain.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The trumpet sounds in a row.
At the same time, the troops standing in the front wind.
< Amaranth. >
It was Ronan's Amaranth Army that I dreamed of.
“Ah.......”
Io burst low elasticity.
My legs are loose.
It is the same for other knights and soldiers as well.
The rear guard looks impressive and retreats to the left and to the right.
Roan and Amaranth's forces enter the open road.
Amaranth's troops quickly form a blockade.
Roan steps back and looks at Ioo.
“Earl Lancefield! Are you okay?”
“It's okay. I'm fine. ”
Io nods, smiling faintly.
Roan smiles in front of him, thankfully.
“I will defeat the rebels first. ”
“The number of enemies is not great. ”
This worrying face.
He also had over 4,000 barons and now only 300 Amaranth troops.
Even the surviving subordinates combined, that number did not add up to 1,000.
“I'm fine.”
Nevertheless, he was bold and overconfident.
He tugs at the horse and stands in front of Amaranth's army.
“Luke Eif! Mito Posis!”
A resounding voice.
It was magnificent even in front of 4,000 soldiers.
“Oh! Someone did it and it was Roan! ”
“You're a low-born man pretending to be a general! ”
Luke and Mito sneer.
They were actually very nervous about the appearance of Amaranth's forces.
However, after realizing that only 300 troops had been exposed, he was able to contribute again.
“I wanted to cut your head off, too! ”
Luke lets out a sigh and raises his right hand.
It was to order an assault.
At that moment, Roan looks at the barons with his spear crossed.
“Listen to Baron Eiffe and the soldiers of Baron Posis! ”
The Flamdor Mana method empowers your voice.
Thanks to this, the general soldiers felt tremendous pressure as soon as they heard Roan's voice.
“Luke Eye and Mito Posis have sworn at Prince Simon Lines, First Prince of the Rhine Kingdom and Lord of the League! ”
Mana is infested.
A hot firearm warms my voice.
“This is evident rebellion and inversion! You are now in the Rebellion! ”
Bang!
The Baron soldiers' faces harden.
It's true that Luke and Mito were following Simon because of his orders.
Some of them were actively involved in the pursuit of democracy and wealth, but most of them were forced to follow.
“Ooh, are we really rebels? ”
“I, I just did what the baron told me to do. ”
The soldiers begin to quake.
Roan did not miss this opportunity.
“Those who join the rebellion will be beheaded and their families enslaved! ”
It was a crystal blow.
“Cut his throat? Die?”
“Slavery? My father and mother became slaves? ”
“My son is now three years old and he's enslaved? ”
There was a sound of pain everywhere.
Then Luke and Mito shout, feeling an odd turn of events.
“Don't shake! The situation is much better for us! Prince Simon is right in front of us! ”
“If only we could catch the prince, we'd have a long life ahead of us! ”
The soldiers quake again.
“Yes. We're already part of the rebellion anyway. ”
“Prince Simon won't leave us alone. ”
“Once this happens, we must catch the prince. ”
The atmosphere flowed strangely.
But Roan was still a very confident face.
He pulls out a fancy dagger from his waist.
“This is the Reagate Dagger, the Religion of Prince 1st of the Rhine Kingdom! Prince Simon Rhynes has appointed me head of the Tail Region with this dagger placed upon me! My orders are your orders, and my words are your words! ”
Roan stares directly at the disgruntled baron soldiers.
“Those who surrender now will not be held accountable for their crimes against the Rebellion! ”
It's a big decision.
“Ze, is this real? ”
“You're really going to save my life? ”
Some soldiers ask nervously.
Roan draws a gate dagger.
Chang!
A clear sound echoes through the air.
“If you're lying, I'll give you my head! ”
Eyes and voices with strong determination.
The baron soldiers swallowed the drought.
They shake their hands and feet at each other's faces.
‘We're just regular soldiers. ’
‘I just wanted to eat three meals a day and be happy with my family. ’
‘I can't let my family ruin their lives. ’
Soldiers were common peasants everywhere.
But Luke and Mito are afraid to make a move.
They still struggle, but they don't have the courage.
Then.
Phew! Phew!
Along with the sound of the trumpet, a group of troops appear in the eastern field.
They were Amaranth troops returning to the base of Mediacis and returning on horseback.
That number was close to 1,000.
Over 4,000 barons versus all of Amaranth and more than 2,000 subordinates combined.
The number of troops that were overwhelmingly different has now narrowed to considerable differences.
‘There you are.'
Roan smiles at his timely presence.
He shouted in a bold, bold voice.
“Will you die as a rebel?" Or will you defeat Weightlifting and become a hero! ”
A powerful voice echoes through the battlefield.
The baron's soldiers harden their hearts at the sudden appearance of the Armies of Amaranth.
With such a difference in numbers, Amaranth's troops were unable to determine the essence.
I could not throw myself and my family's lives into an uncertain fight.
They were not men of any great ambition, like Luke or Mito.
“Two, I surrender! ”
“I surrender myself! ”
Some of the soldiers rush toward Amaranth's forces with their hands raised.
That was the beginning.
“We just did what we were told! ”
“Help me! ”
“It was never meant to be! ”
Soldiers step out of line with their hands raised.
Got it!
At that, Roan called for inner joy.
It is through a battle.
There were three reasons why Roan gave the baron soldiers the chance to surrender.
The first is.
‘Once this happens, there will be too many casualties. ’
The second one.
‘Most of them were just following orders. ’
The baroness soldiers simply followed orders from the nobles.
The third one.
‘I must absorb these British soldiers under my command. ’
Now Amaranth's troops are about 2,000 men.
It was definitely more than before, but when I think about the future, it was a very disappointing level.
The baron's soldiers, who have been through many battles over and over, have been able to become great warriors with little training.
Besides...
"If only I could move the soldiers' families….."
A significant number of local residents could be acquired at once.
For this reason, Roan tried to persuade him to surrender, not to fight, and it seemed successful.
“Halt!”
“He who surrenders shall have his head! ”
Luke and Mito were so excited that they tried to stop the Territories from escaping.
Thanks to this, the two men who were sitting behind the troops are now approaching the lead.
As Roan calmly examines the battlefield, he does not miss this opportunity.
“Harrison.”
Harrison quickly pulled an active protest with a low voice.
He also waits for Luke and Mito to enter the realm.
Idiot!
Sharp porosity.
“Everyone stay where you are! That sneaky tongue... * Cough *! ”
The arrow pierces Mito's forehead.
“Huff!”
Luke swallows the wind suddenly.
Mito leans back slowly, his eyes wide open.
Bang!
The ground rolls with a heavy sound.
“Damn it!”
Luke quickly steps down the horse and hides himself.
“Me, Baron! ”
“Baron Posis! ”
Baron Posis' soldiers scream as they see the mite as it is.
“Last chance! No one can surrender! ”
Mana's voice echoes through the battlefield.
Ultimatum.
Since then.
The disgruntled baron soldiers begin to fall out of line as the tide falls.
“No! No! You fools! ”
Luke screams, but there's no stopping the soldiers.
After all, only a hundred soldiers remained to follow him, combining longevity and deputies.
“How dare this....... lowborn brat......! ”
Luke can't stand the uproar.
It's all over anyway.
“I'm going to kill you! ”
He lunges at Roan.
Such an ignorant and reckless attack.
Roan also races around the Trivas spear.
“You……"
A cold voice came in.
“Not my opponent. ”
Travis' spear shifts as he draws the light, terrified to the end of his speech.
Screaming!
The spear moves strangely, striking Luke's sword, and then it burrows through his torso.
“Huff.”
Luke vomits and falls unconscious.
“Chu, chu, chu, chu, chu, chu, chu, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug. ”
The last word did not end.
Luke died in vain.
“Baron!"
“Khh! Baron Eif! ”
Longevity workers and deputies who followed him scream.
Roan watches him silently and shakes his right hand.
A call to acknowledge the advance.
Amaranth's forces move quietly and very quickly.
The remnants of the baron of Eif are no longer opponents.
The Rebel Jundong has failed in the face of success.
It was none other than Roan who stopped them.
* * *
The phosphine exodus is finished.
In addition, the spies who were trying to kill Simon have been subdued.
However, the noble spies planted by the Three Prince Column Lines, including Elton, fled the tails without missing any confusion and fled to their territory.
Simon doesn't give the pursuit orders.
The siege was over when the monsters of Lake Porsche ceased to exist.
Everyone rejoiced, but not Roan.
My heart sank deep.
327 warriors.
I expected it to be a difficult subjugation.
But even so, the damage was too great.
It reminds me of Captain Aaron and Commander Gail, Mendel, and Kennis who gave their lives to save him.
Obviously, Roan has been improving with each and every battle.
Spears, Mana Law, Tactics, Conduction.......
But even the memories and memories of the person who was with him were piled up in my heart.
“Commander.”
Familiar voice.
I looked away and saw Austin.
“The prince is looking for you. ”
Perhaps it was because of Roan's lonely expression, Austin cautiously said with a worried face.
“Austin.”
“Yes, sir. ”
“Keep your eyes peeled for the tomb management and support of the families of the warriors. ”
Austin could only see it then.
What was Roan's emotion that silenced him.
‘He's a good man. ’
I felt fortunate to have a great commander.
Austin nods with an aged expression.
“Absolutely! I will do as I'm told. ”
“Please.”
Roan tapped Austin on the shoulder and moved on.
The shadow stretches along his back.
* * *
The largest conference room in the Amaranth base.
All the nobles settle down around Simon.
The noble spies, such as Luke, Mito and Elton, were responsible for the outbreak, but it was truly a huge success.
Especially after the news that Two-Man Tommy Lines and Three-Man Column Lines were struggling with monster subjugation, many nobles could not hide their joy.
Everyone was excited and couldn't help but boast about their balls from one to the end of this punitive war.
Now, when the king returns to Milr, the triumph begins.
The rivalry over Simon's throne would have won them both a royal prize, even if they were to play second.
Some nobles may receive additional territory, while others may be encamped and promoted.
Of course, I had to feel good.
Of course, the punishment of some nobles who put their swords in Simon, the First Prince of the Kingdom, will come first.
Simon thought about asking Tommy and Column about their sins.
‘Well, they're all going to make a move. ’
Simon smiles deeply, thinking about his two brothers.
I would have made an apprentice book by now and somehow thought about cutting off the tail.
But Simon had a way, too.
‘I'll catch one of the two first. ’
Simon, Tommy, Column.
Competition for succession was difficult because the three princes had similar backgrounds.
It's almost impossible for one man to deal with two princes at once.
I could have been hit by the headwinds.
Because of this, Simon decided to give up one of the two and deal with the other first.
‘Hehehehe.’
I kept smiling.
The moment Simon's sword turned on only one man.
The other one will have to choose.
Whether to hold his hand or stand on the other side.
‘Of course, it won't be easy to stand on the other side. ’
A strong and spicy plan was hatched in my mind.
Then.
“I'm Commander Roan. ”
A knight standing at the entrance announces the appearance of Roan.
Suddenly, the boy who was chattering quieted down.
A young man with full and confident strength and gentle and attentive strength.
Roan, commander of the Amaranth troops, with command and control of the Tail Region, enters the Chamber of Congress.
Everyone who was sitting here knew.
If it weren't for that guy right in front of you, there wouldn't be any joy right now.
But some of the nobles were overwhelmed by other emotions.
Unpleasant.
Although he was accused of violating military law, he was the one who butchered the noble blood on a humble layman's subject.
A person who had no choice but to admit his or her abilities, but felt uncertain for some reason.
Those who want to be close, but are instinctively reluctant.
That was Roan.
“Hmmm.”
“Hmph.”
Roan shifts his steps away from the nobles' complex gaze.
“I've been summoned. ”
He approaches Simon and kneels on one knee.
“Yes. I have something to tell you. ”
Soft voice.
Roan bows.
“Before that.......”
He pulls out a fancy symbol dagger from his waist and lifts it with both hands.
“The subjugation is over. Commander Amaranth Roan, as promised, I will return the Reggae Dagger to you. ”
“Yes. I have returned with victory, as I promised for the first time. ”
Simon smiles freely.
“Listen!”
At that moment, Simon wakes up from his seat shouting in a loud voice.
In a sudden situation, a large number of nobles stood up and bowed their heads.
“The sweep of Lake Porsche was well concluded. Now I will ask the lords. Who is the biggest contender in the Punitive Force? ”
“....... ”
Suddenly, the nobles looked at each other.
Shaking eyes.
Everyone knew the answer, but no one could say it easily.
Then, Bird of Thio Luin takes a step forward.
“Commander Amaranth, this is Roan. ”
At that moment, Simon smiles strangely.
He asked again pretending not to know what he was doing.
“Who?”
“Ronan is the commander of the Amaranth division, who has the largest specialty. ”
When Theo answers again, Simon looks at the nobles who are guarding their position like deaf people.
“Do you think differently? ”
Eo stepped forward, terrified of finishing his sentence.
“The answer of the writer Thio Luin is justified. The first major in the Foucaine subjugation is Commander Amaranth, Roan. ”
After Thio, I went to Io.
Around this time, the nobles Ralph, Raell, and others, who recognized Roan's abilities, stepped up and raised him up.
“I'm Roan.”
“Commander Amaranth. ”
The atmosphere flowed strangely.
The nobles who were hostile to Roan kept their mouths shut and only noticed.
I was unable to disparage Roan's specialty.
I saved Simon's life. How can I be blameless?
“I think it's Roan. ”
After all, the first major became Roan's.
Simon smiles and draws his waist-drawn sword.
Grrr!
The hiss sounded cheerful.
“I, Simon Lines, First Prince of the Rhine Kingdom and Lord of the Reagates, take the throne of the baron to Raan, commander of the Amaranth Army, on behalf of His Majesty the King. ”
“......! ”
While everyone was surprised, Simon grabbed his sword after slapping Ronan on the head and shoulders with his sword.
Until then, I slept silently.
It was the same with Roan.
Of course, the Kingdom of Rhine has often been a nobleman of the common people compared to other kingdoms.
With the help of his guardian and a large majority, he could become a nobleman.
However, considering that Roan was a sinner not long ago, even the Baron of Barons thought he was limited.
Baron Jun and Baron are the difference between heaven and earth.
Baron Jun-shik's position is impossible to practice.
But the baron was different.
If I had a child, I could say it was a truly meaningful nobleman who inherited the status of the great-grandson.
Roan felt something stiff deep inside his heart.
I recall my colleagues who had fallen from the battlefield, leaving my side.
But the nonprofit was not over yet.
“Also, I will not retrieve the Regate Dagger. ”
Bang!
Once again, everyone looks surprised.
The Regate Dagger is the symbol of the First Prince.
The meaning was completely different when the sentence was made under the terms of the end of the Punitive War and when the sentence was made without a separate period.
This.
‘Roan is my person. ’
It means.
Now it will be more powerful than anything for Roan, who is a new nobleman.
Of course, he pretended to be a nobleman of the two princes and three princes because he was tagged as a person of the first prince, but the advantage was much greater than the disadvantage.
Unlike the surprise of the nobles, Simon looks rather very comfortable.
He tugs at the tip of his chin with one hand and makes a funny noise.
“Too bad we don't have enough ground to settle with the baron..... but that's too much work to do without the territory. ”
“Hahaha!”
Suddenly, a big laugh erupted.
Simon and all the nobles looked for the protagonist of the laughter.
“Earl Lancefield. Why are you smiling like that? ”
Simon tilts his head.
The main character of the laughter was Io.
Io smiles brightly and grabs the map unfolding on the table with his fingers.
“I want to give Baron Roan the southern hemisphere of Earl Lancefield, including the Tail region. ”
I'm not surprised anymore.
Literally a fortune teller.
Earl Lancefield was known for his vastness.
However, this did not mean that the value of the territory had fallen.
The nobles who were listening were the same, but the one who was most surprised was Roan.
Reggae Dagger, baron title, territory? What is this….. '
Too many things were happening at once.
I feel numb inside.
I thought I'd become a nobleman someday.
If I tried to become a monarch, if I tried to become a general, I would get it myself.
But I didn't expect it to happen so suddenly.
“Hahaha! Are you sure? ”
“Yes, Roan is also a lifesaver. I also told him.......”
He had a strange look in his eyes, recalling the battle a few days ago.
His eyes were as deep and dark as his father's.
“I want to repay you. ”
A loving voice echoes through the room.
At the same time, it echoed even Roan's heart.
"Earl Lancefield. ’
My heart ate.
Then one hand suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
I look up and see Simon smiling.
“Come with me to the castle and meet the king. Roan.......”
Soft voice.
The smile on my mouth became darker.
“Baron Roan Tail. ”
