I am the Monarch

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

Clay was confident.

He hoped that he would be impressed by the abilities he had shown so far.

‘Only then will he write them for you. ’

Clay looks at Roan.

‘Baron Tail's camp needs talent like me. ’

There were quite a lot of wood around Roan that could be a great weapon or a great weapon.

However, there were insufficient portfolios to administer, plot, and read the full sentence.

No, I almost didn't.

‘I will fill that shortage. ’

Clay thought so.

Unfortunately, he was making a big mistake.

You overestimate your abilities, and you fail to read Roan's situation properly.

Roan and Roan's mistresses.

They were a lot more talented than Clay thought.

Then.

“Great. Where are you going to take me? ”

You hear Roan's voice.

He was calm.

Roan does not question Clay's words.

Clay looks a little surprised at Roan.

Do you believe me? ’

It was the second time at most.

Although he revealed his extraordinary abilities, it was not easy to trust someone who had never seen him before.

I had a lot of things prepared to persuade Roan.

‘I won't be needing it. ’

Roan's choice was so overwhelming.

‘Big or reckless. ’

Clay looks directly into Roan's eyes.

There is no hesitation in one's eyes and he trusts his choices perfectly.

‘I can't fathom it. ’

Clay sticks his tongue out.

As a matter of fact, this choice for Roan was both extraordinary and reckless.

But he believed in his own eyes that he had grown up meeting with Pills, Chris, Harrison, Austin, Sammy and Brian.

‘I have been predicting this situation for days. ’

It was unclear to what extent Clay was keeping track of the situation, but at least he was reading the whole market perfectly.

‘Don't be ashamed of being helped. ’

I needed more people's help to do bigger things than I do now.

Roan was not a genius and was lacking in many things.

Because of this, I needed a good eye for using talent in the right place and identifying talented people.

‘Mr Clay is a great help to me. ’

I heard it clearly.

Of course, being overconfident and taking more pride in your abilities was something to fix.

‘If you realize what you lack, you will be humble yourself. ’

Roan was confident of making it so.

There were various talents around him, and they had developed more than a few levels with Roan's help.

‘It will be a good opportunity for each other. ’

Clay whispers in a small voice, wondering if you know how Roan feels.

“I will guide you to the headquarters of the Janis Informants, located in Castle Mill. ”

He looks at Roan's face and speaks in hindsight.

“This is a plot they orchestrated by Horton himself. They are.......”

Clay explained in detail the plans made by the Janice Informants and Anthony Horton for some time.

It was a perfect description with no errors, like being an insider.

"Was it Janis Intelligence, too….."

Roan nods, listening to Clay's explanation.

If not, it was the Janis Intelligence Force that was regarded as one of the leading sources of the work.

I even instructed Amaranth Intelligence to keep a close watch on them, because they didn't move very well.

‘Still, I guess missing them means they're pretty good. ’

I didn't want to blame Keefe or the Informants.

By the way, how does Mr. Clay have all this information? ’

Suddenly, I doubted that.

Meanwhile, Clay's words continue.

“They must have been monitoring this hunting ground with all their informants. By now, they'll be returning to intelligence headquarters to find out what went wrong and report it. ”

Clay's voice continues urgently.

“If we delay time here, the Janis Informants will cover their tracks as if the lizard had cut off its tail and fled. So we need to raid their headquarters as soon as possible. ”

Austin tilts his head.

“This is the root of an information organization? ”

He frowns.

Clay shakes his head.

“They're just grassroots. This root is in the information that they have. ”

The king's top intelligence agency.

Inside, the information of the nobles along the Tommy Lines and Column Lines was poorly kept.

Among them, of course, were letters and conversations between Anthony and Janis Intelligence.

Roan nods.

Clay was right.

‘Information is power. ’

He looks up at Austin.

Austin soon pulled out a horse.

“Can I ride a horse? ”

Roan looks at Clay.

It would have been almost impossible if it had been a civilian.

However, Clay nods with a very bold expression.

“Of course.”

Confident voice.

He climbs into the saddle with a gentle gesture.

I wasn't good at riding once or twice.

“Baron Tail. ”

Clay calls out to Roan, clutching onto his horse.

“We need to do something before we raid their headquarters. ”

“What's that? ”

Roan is still calm.

It made Clay's mind rush.

"Why are you so thick? Don't you like the abilities I showed you? ’

I thought I wouldn't be surprised and amazed at this.

However, Roan kept a relaxed look on his face while continuing to be bold.

‘You must be trying to hide your surprise. ’

Clay shakes his head, frowning at the tip of his nose.

He thought there could never be anyone who didn't appreciate his abilities.

Of course, there were many abilities that had not yet been shown.

He looks up at Roan and says,

“Once you've met Prince Simon, you'll need permission to move your troops and use force within the royal family. ”

Milr Castle was the capital of the kingdom and the royal palace was located, so it was impossible to move the troops around and use force.

“Prince Simon is having a meeting with his sidekick east of the palace. You can go that way. ”

At this rate, Roan will be surprised.

Clay thought so.

Instead, Roan shakes his head, smiling faintly.

“There's no need for that. ”

Soft voice.

Amaranth's men plummet behind his back.

Clay looks at Roan with the same look as what it sounds like.

Roan looks Clay in the eye and speaks in the back.

“I've already been granted permission to move troops and use force in Mill Castle. ”

Boom.

At that moment, Clay feels hit in the back with a rock.

“Yes?”

Sounds like it's hard to believe.

His face is frowned upon.

Roan smiles gladly.

“Last night, I went to see Duke Bradley Webster and got permission. ”

Clay shakes his head, frowning.

“Well, how do you expect to get such permission in advance? ”

Roan looks Clay in the eye and replies.

“I don't know. Predict things like this? although Mr. Clay's arrival was completely unexpected. ”

Of course, it was not a last-minute equation prediction.

The king's right to war was not gained by such vain evidence and reason.

Originally, Roan was determined to interrogate Anthony Horton after he was rescued from the trap, based on information gathered by Keefe and his informants.

Duke Bradley Webster has authorized the king to engage my troop movement in advance because he intends to capture or subdue them as soon as they find out who's behind it.

‘I always plan with many situations in mind. ’

Meanwhile, shortly before the operation, Clay revealed that Janis Intelligence, one of Roan's anticipated backgrounds, was the cause of everything.

Thanks to this, I was able to avoid useless rescue work, interrogations, etc.

Pa!

At that time, Austin tied the royal crest of the Rhine and the blue ceiling engraved with the crest of the Duke of Webster.

It was a token that allowed the use of force in Mill Castle.

Roan smiles softly and looks at Clay.

Clay's frozen in the middle of nowhere.

He asked again with a stuttering word.

“Wayne, did Duke Webster give you permission so easily?

Roan smiles instead of answering.

Roan and Bradley.

Only two people knew what terms and conditions were coming and going between them.

Did I not get a good look at the Baron Tail? ’

Clay swallowed a dry needle.

I thought that I was too foolish to think about the side of Roan and those pretenders.

Roan sighs for a short while, looking at Clay like that.

‘I hope you feel something about this. ’

I wanted to be able to humiliate myself even if I was hurt by my pride.

Roan tugs at you.

Heeheeheeheeheehee!

The horse howls loudly.

“We're going to the king! ”

“Phew!"

All of Amaranth's men have taken up their duties.

Roan lowers his head slightly toward Clay and kicks his horse's belly in a snap.

Two or two!

Soon after, Amaranth's forces began to rush toward Mills.

"Huh, huh? ’

Clay, who was halfway frozen, kicked the horse's belly late and pressed his chest against the horse's balance.

Skilled horseback riding.

He grips his teeth as he looks back at Roan running ahead.

‘I need to demonstrate my value again. ’

I didn't want to stay that way.

He was a man who was proud of himself and loved everything he loved.

Two or two!

The sound of the earth's buzzing grows further and further away.

After Roan and Amaranth's forces left, there was a strange silence at the hunting ground.

“Go, is he gone? ”

“Ooh, leaving us like this? ”

The nobles who stood in the middle of the hunting ground and were guarding their positions, both like this and that, were greatly embarrassed.

“They muttered something to each other and suddenly ran towards Castle Mills. ”

“You're not going to reveal what we planned, are you? ”

“No way. We don't even know where Janis' headquarters is. ”

They struggled to look at each other with a smile.

But his eyes were filled with fear and worry.

One of them mutters in a dazzled voice.

“What do we do now? ”

Once more, there was a strange silence.

But this silence did not last long.

“Get me out of here! Please get me out of here! ”

Anthony's cry echoes through the hunting grounds.

Followed by.

“Help me! ”

“Help us! ”

The knights and garrisons in traps scream.

Only then did the nobles recover from the desolate spirit.

“First, let's save Birkhoff Horton. ”

“That would be nice. ”

They stab Anthony in the front of their feet with an elongated spear or sword.

Soon the sloppy and sloppy relief work began.

Meanwhile, Amaranth's troops, which had set out for Milr Castle, arrived outside the Eastern Gate Castle one day.

“Huh?"

Roan frowns and tugs at him.

The horse's pace slowly slows down.

“What's the matter? ”

When Austin approached, Roan pointed his finger at Castle Mill.

There were more than a dozen horses rushing at a rapid pace.

Who is it?

Everyone tilted their heads.

As the distance between the two narrows, the outposts stand out clearly in front of each other.

< Bloodstorm. >

"The Bloodstorm squad is led by Count Louin. ’

Only a few knights led by Birch of Thio Ruin, who should be guarding Simon in the palace.

Is it because of Count Horton and his men? ’

I was well aware that the Duke of Anthony Horton and the nobles were following the Second Prince Tommy Rhine.

I was aware of it, so I entered the hunt competition in my own way.

Prince Simon sent you because he was worried about me? ’

If not, there's no reason for Theo to show up here.

But Roan shakes his head.

The image of Theo running ahead was not that of the general running ahead of the battle.

Bright face in light clothing.

In addition, the number of troops was at most ten class-level knights.

Theo kicks the horse's belly and runs toward Roan.

“Baron Tail. ”

Theo stops his horse with a fancy horse-riding trick.

Roan takes the ordinance exactly as he rides on the horse.

“Tio Luine. ”

“I thought you were at the hunting ground. ”

Theo tilts his head.

“That……"

Roan doesn't have to hide the situation.

It followed a short description.

Theo shakes his head with a bitter smile.

‘Idiots. ’

In the beginning, there was no way Roan could be dealt with by someone who could sit at the head of a desk and only talk with their mouth.

Roan raises his head slightly to look at Thio.

“But where are you off to in such a hurry? ”

“Ah! I was on my way to you. I have something for you. ”

Theo smiles brightly and gestures at the deputies behind him.

Soon, two deputies each approached with a single bow.

“Prince Simon's bow. One belongs to Baron Tail, the other to Captain Harrison White. ”

“Ah.......”

Low elasticity flows from Roan and Harrison's mouths.

They carefully accept the bow from their deputies.

‘Not just me, but Harrison's bow. ’

It was completely unexpected.

Harrison was particularly impressed.

‘The prince remembers even ordinary soldiers like me. ’

I didn't think the day would come when I would receive the prince's servant.

Roan and Harrison head down.

Thio smiled at him.

“If you're thinking about it, I'd like to ask you to shoot me right now, but it's not a good time to waste your time. ”

It was urgent.

If you do, the Janice Informants are worried about cutting off their tails and running away.

Theo turns his horse's head toward the king as he retreats to his side.

“We'll join you. ”

“Would you do that? ”

At Roan's question, thio nods.

“Of course. I can't stand by while they try to kill you." ”

It was a trustworthy thing to say.

Roan lowers his head slightly and grips the hilt.

I am ready to march again without hesitation.

At that time, Theo's eyes widen, looking at Amaranth's men.

“Are you…? ”

It was Clay where his horse was headed.

Clay nods, smiling faintly.

“It's been a long time. Father Luin.”

Surprisingly, Clay and Thio were face-to-face.

“Do you know each other? ”

Roan looks at Thio and asks.

Thio nods, his head stiffened.

“He's the one I used to keep under control. ”

“I was there once. ”

Clay takes after you.

Theo shakes his head, looking at Clay's bold expression.

“I thought I was out of practice. I gave him a lot of things, but I was arrogant and dishonest. ”

Very straightforward assessment.

But Clay was very confident.

“It came out on my feet. ”

He didn't even flinch in front of the nobles.

Thio frowned.

‘You still have an unpleasant attitude. ’

You believe in your abilities and appear overly presumptuous.

Thio turns his head to look at Roan.

“Let's talk about this another time. It's time to root them out. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Roan strives to blow the curiosity away, then kicks the horse back again.

Two or two!

With Roan at the forefront, troop movements begin once again.

Amaranth and Bloodstorm forces rushed through the East Gate at a rapid pace.

“Yuck!”

“Ouch!”

The people who took a leisurely walk screamed, avoiding their bodies to the left and to the right.

Fortunately, no other injuries were sustained.

How long did it run?

The Amaranth troops have also entered the commercial sector at the western end of the castle.

“The woodshed at the end is the Janice Informants! ”

Clay lets out a loud shout.

Roan grips his teeth and nods.

‘This is the same place Kip investigated. ’

The two of them agreed.

At first glance, it was just a normal warehouse.

But that was the headquarters of Janice Intelligence, the source of the incident.

The entrance to the warehouse is locked with a solid lock.

Roan shakes his hand to summon Harrison.

“Harrison! Show off your skills with a gift from the prince. ”

“Yes! I understand. ”

Harrison wrapped his legs around the horse's torso, swinging an empty pole once and bouncing off a few empty protests.

“Hehe.”

Breath catching sound.

Ping! Ping!

Three arrows fly in a row.

Not only Roan and Thio, but all the Amaranth soldiers turn their heads in pursuit of the arrows.

Puck! Puck!

The arrow strikes the locking lock with a massive doorway.

Pussy!

The lock is unbearable and snaps.

“Wow!"

A few soldiers burst from their mouths.

Harrison, on the other hand, glances at Thio a few more times with a grim look on his face.

“A perfect bow. ”

At that, Thio shakes his head.

“Your skills are more perfect. ”

He was truly impressed.

No matter how good the bow was, it was unfamiliar to my hands.

However, Harrison was as skillful as a long-standing bow just by swinging a flame and bouncing off a few empty protests.

"If you learn any manna..."

It will be a palace in the hands of the Rhine Kingdom, or the entire history of the continent.

‘I'm greedy. ’

Thio coveted the talent of Sam Harrison.

However, I could not reveal my greed.

‘He is the baron of Tails and his loyalty is great. ’

I tried to fold my heart, but I couldn't help feeling sorry.

At that moment, Roan lunges toward the woodshed, raising his spear high.

“Break through! ”

Later, the Amaranth troops shout loudly.

“Break through!”

What a march.

Finally, the leader reaches the entrance of the woodshed.

Kuang!

The solid entrance was broken with a loud bang.

There was also a battle in the middle of Castle Mill.

No, there's been an anticipated battle.
