I am the Monarch
< Chapter 22 Good People >
------------------------------------
“It's still too dangerous, isn't it? ”
“Wouldn't it be better to send a formal letter and cooperate? ”
“Sounds like we have enough people to talk to. ”
Complaints spilled.
Hooker sighs briefly, looking at the officers of the Janis Informatics.
‘Cowards. ’
They were satisfied with the current level of Janice Intelligence.
But Hooker was different.
‘Miller Castle, as well as the entire Rhine Kingdom, must be held in the hands of information throughout the continent. ’
The goal and dream was to raise Janice Intelligence to be the best intelligence organization on the continent.
Truly enormous ambition.
"But the local baron, he's just now a nobleman, and you want me to back off? ’
He shakes his head.
If you stay too close and retreat, you won't be able to get to a higher road.
Looking at it like this, Sazambaba looked fine.
"He's soft and weak, but he never pukes on what I tell him to do. ’
On the other hand, the other officers of the Janis Informatics were not too late, so they hoped to reconcile themselves with Roan.
"Coward bird......."
When one more bad word comes out.
Boom!
Suddenly, the conference room door opened.
A rotten young man pushes out his face and screams out loud.
“Failed! Failed! ”
It was a whisper, but the people in the meeting room, including Hooker, knew exactly what the young man meant.
Which means that Operation Anthony Horton's Hunting Tournament failed.
“Dammit! I knew it! ”
“I'm finally going to lose to the nobles of the realm! ”
“Tsk! I wish I'd been more careful. ”
Once again, complaints spill.
Boom!
Hooker slaps the table.
“Hmmm.”
The executives curl their throats with a slow, prickly look.
We raised our heat against each other and completely forgot about Hooker's existence.
Hooker glares at the executives with a cool glance.
“Let's stop here. ”
“Yes, yes. I understand.”
The executives nod in haste.
Hooker stood up and cleared out the paperwork that had been lying on the table.
‘As expected, Hoyton's birthdays were lacking. ’
He sighed briefly.
"If Baron Tail were to interrogate Prince Horton..."
It will reveal who they were behind the scenes together.
‘We should move the headquarters just in case. ’
Of course, there was something I had to do before that.
“Baba.”
“Yes, Master. ”
Baba gets up from a cold spot and bows her head.
“Destroy all documents relating to Birkhoff Horton. ”
“Yes, I understand. ”
Otherwise, all the data was already organized.
Even though Anthony's operation failed, there was no rush.
‘Prince Horton does not know the location of our headquarters. ’
It will take Roan a long time to locate the headquarters.
In the meantime, they had to organize all the information documents and supplies and move the headquarters.
But this relaxation did not last longer than I thought.
Boom!
The conference room door was once again roughly opened.
Otherwise, Hooker, who was pressing and pressing down on the uncomfortable plant, screamed.
“What happened this time! ”
Cool voice.
The young man suddenly smiled inside the conference room, shouting urgently.
“I'm the enemy! Ah, the armies of Amaranth have invaded! ”
At that moment, the eyes of the executives, including the Hooker, grew wide.
“What?! ”
“What did you just say?! ”
Unbelievable face.
The young man shouted once more.
“The armies of Amaranth have invaded! Baron Roan Tail is in the house! ”
Hooker frowns.
No way! ’
It couldn't have happened.
It has been a little over a year since we opened our headquarters in the woodshed.
In the meantime, I've put a lot of effort into hiding my headquarters' location.
Thanks to this, none of the intelligence organizations in Milr Castle knew the headquarters of the Janice Informants.
But what about the baron Tail? ’
Hooker's head swings rapidly.
Several possibilities passed through my mind in an instant.
"Really?"
Hooker's gaze turned to Bava.
Did you know who the watchers on our side were? ’
If we had put the Watchers in reverse pretending not to know, we would have uncovered the identity of the Informants and their headquarters.
“Damn it.”
Hooker grunts.
“Everyone is escaping with only the most urgent and top stories! ”
“Yes! I understand! ”
The executives responded with one voice and then moved busy.
It's the same with Hookers.
He quickly walked out of the conference room and gripped his teeth.
‘Roan Tail.......’
I felt some regrets later.
Maybe I was underestimating them. ’
I feel like I'm being pulled by a sleeping lion's nose.
But it was already after what happened.
‘First, we must leave the headquarters safely. ’
Hooker's footsteps led in a different direction from the other executives.
A strange light appeared in both eyes.
‘It doesn't matter if the headquarters collapses and all the informants die. ’
I gripped my teeth.
If I survive, the Janice Informants can rebuild at any time. ’
An unscrupulous and unkind thought.
Hooker takes a deep breath.
You quickly move the complex maze around and stop in front of a solid wall.
He circles around and knocks on the wall with a subtle gesture.
Kugung.
A wall slightly pushed inward.
Hooker swiftly steps into the inner space.
Kugung.
The wall returns to its original position.
That's how Hooker hides himself.
* * *
“Don't miss a single one! ”
“Hold the line! ”
High command.
Below that, Amaranth's men make a swift move.
After breaking through the wooden warehouse door, Amaranth's troops built a long siege network based on the teenagers.
It looks like it's surrounding a wooden warehouse and getting more and more pressured.
“Stop him!”
“Stall the clock! ”
Informants from the Janis Informants have put their warehouses in the back and are desperately resistant.
When Amaranth's troops tried to break into the storehouse without being fooled, they revealed their true colors while playing the innocent sheep in the wooden storehouse.
“Those who tried to harm the Lord! Don't put your hands where I can see them! ”
Austin gives the order as he races his horse.
“Phew!"
Hundreds of Amaranth troops responded in one voice and raised their spirits.
Birch of Thio Luin and the knights who followed him stick their tongues out for him.
‘I feel it every time I see it, but Amaranth's troops are truly strange troops. ’
Obviously, the individual's power is much farther away than the knights', but in groups, they exert tremendous power and vigor.
Ping! Ping! Ping!
Dozens of arrows split the space with a sharp wave.
The archers who led Harrison into an arrow attack.
Puebuck! Puebuck! Furverbuck!
“Kuaak!”
“Huff!”
The rebellious Informants collapse one by one, struck by an arrow in their arms and legs.
Suddenly, their deterrent line was loosened.
Through the breach came Roan and the cavalry.
Squeak, squeak!
“Glug.”
Every time Chang Doo dances, several informants lose their heads and collapse.
Members of the Janice Informants were both flimsy and quick, but not very good at using their own strength.
They were not opponents of Roan or the Amaranth forces.
“Enter!”
As Roan points to the entrance to the storehouse, two cavalry men clasp at the entrance with their hooves.
Kuang!
A tightly closed door shatters into pieces and bounces off.
Wide open door.
Inside the massive wooden warehouse, there is an open enemy.
Two or two!
The clanging hooves of the earth.
The cavalry has entered the warehouse.
“Don't, stop! ”
“Stop him!”
Informants from the scattered Janis Intelligence Force lingered late, but they were shorthanded to stop Amaranth's forces.
Squeak, squeak! Kung! Kung!
The spear and sword cut the space and the horse ran wild.
At that time, the informants collapsed with the terminals.
“Find the entrance! ”
A cavalry barges into the storehouse like a long thread at Roan's shout, and rises into the air as if it were a horse saddle.
They began to search for the secret entrance inside the headquarters through floors of tall timber and white sawdust, respectively.
My hands and feet moved without rest.
Then.
“Found it!”
I found a subtly concealed entrance between the tall timber and the timber.
'Mr. Clay was right. ’
Clay's advice helped Amaranth's troops quickly find the secret entrance.
Since he taught me the approximate location, I was able to find the entrance without crowd in similar arrangements.
“Charge in and capture the informants! ”
“Phew!"
The troops step forward with their weapons into the passageway, fearful of command.
“Keef!"
Roan then calls Keefe, who is in charge of the Informants.
“Yes!”
Keefe rushes quickly and takes on a short routine.
“You are to take the Informants and retrieve the documents and documents that the Janis Informants hold. ”
“Yes! I understand. ”
Keefe coldly replies, then gestures toward the back.
Immediately, dozens of feisty soldiers entered the secret entrance with Keefe.
Roan instructs the rest of his troops to capture the remaining enemies and control the woodshed and the area's entrance.
‘Then let me move too. ’
After issuing all the orders, Roan slowly sets foot on the ground and enters the secret passageway.
A lamp along the wall pushes away the darkness.
Although the field of view was not so good, Roan was able to see clearly from afar thanks to Calian's tears.
He takes a step deeper into the headquarters as he slashes the rushing informants.
‘Fantastic.’
Roan sticks his tongue out.
The underground headquarters of the Janice Informants were truly enormous.
Moreover, there was a maze of intertwined space that could easily be lost and put at risk of being trapped.
Then.
"Huh?
I see a man moving urgently from the edge of the maze.
‘An innocent face that doesn't fit into a large size. ’
The reports that Keefe posted in his head quickly passed.
‘Bavada, executive officer of the Janis Informatics. ’
Unlike the ones that have been cut so far.
‘You have to catch it. ’
Roan strikes the ground and blows away.
A stalk of Mana blooms from the Manahole and flows down to the soles of both feet.
Pa!
At that moment, Roan's body movements are quick enough to remind me of the secret.
He doesn't slow down even to the end of the maze.
Blame!
Rather, he jumped off the floor, put his feet on the dead end, and then twisted.
Smooth and quick.
It was such a crazy move that I could swoop back and forth, but Roan was able to chase Baba straight after her, thanks to Calian's tears.
“Out of my way!"
Sprinkle, splash!
Fists and spears dance to the informants in front of you.
“Hehe!”
“Huff!”
At that time, the informants bounced back and forth without changing their resistance.
“Ugh!”
Bava, who runs ahead, screams as she sees Roan chasing after him.
White face and big round eyes.
Baba was scared to death.
God, I don't want to die! ’
He suddenly shakes his hand at Roan, close behind his back.
Pa!
At that moment, the blobs of paper in his hands scatter to all sides.
Roan frowns, looking at the clumps of paper curled up in front of his eyes.
Shhhhhhh!
Focusing on his eyes, Calian's tears sparked.
Immediately, the blobs of paper that were scattering all around began to move very slowly.
I can read the letters of scattered papers one by one.
Then.
What about this? ’
Roan smiles as he reads the contents of the paper blocking his view.
'It's a document documenting the agreement with Birkhoff Horton. ’
Baba scattered the most important information documents in the Janis Intelligence Corps to save my life and fled.
Roan pauses and reaches for the papers.
A hand that seems to move slowly enough because of Calian's tears.
It was still faster than the scattering papers everywhere.
If others had seen this, they would have opened their mouths in shock.
It would have looked like Roan was standing in a passageway, snatching up a piece of paper scattered all over the place.
“Whew.”
After fishing a bunch of paper, Roan exhales for a long time.
After a blink of an eye, the movements around you return to normal.
Baba runs away, but doesn't chase after her paperwork.
‘You guys have to run before you get in my palm. ’
My mouth went up gently.
You hear Austin's voice from behind.
“My lord! Most of the informants were killed or captured. I just can't see the officers. Looks like he escaped on a secret escape route. ”
The content itself was very urgent, but the voice and attitude were not too relaxed.
Austin takes a big step and stands beside Roan.
“That Clay guy. ”
A slightly amazed voice.
He looks around the maze corridor and talks.
“How did you know there was a secret escape route? not one or two, but four. ”
In response, Roan shrugs his shoulders, putting the paper in his arms.
“Well, we don't know that yet. But one thing is certain.......”
He smiles faintly at Austin.
“Mr. Clay is no ordinary man. ”
Austin nods.
My face became dark without knowing where it was.
“Are you worthy of our help? ”
At the end of the question, Roan nods.
“Of course. But.......”
The end of the horse is blurred.
Roan mutters in a small voice.
“I need to see if he's a good guy. ”
* * *
“Damn it. The Master dreams too much. ”
“You know what? It doesn't bother me to just eat and live like this. ”
“I knew this would happen one day. ”
Complaints erupt from the dark passageway without even a lamp.
The protagonists of the voices were Janis Intelligence executives who were trying to escape via a secret escape route after spending time as a shield for general informants.
“What about the others? ”
“You chose a different route. ”
“What about the Master?"
“Let's not worry about the master. He would have gotten out a lot sooner than we did. ”
They move diligently as they talk to each other in small voices.
Then the one who was walking earlier stopped and stammered his hands.
“We're here. Quiet, everyone. ”
Silence settles in a passageway filled with horrific complaints.
Bloop. Bloop.
You hear the lock spin.
Bait.
As I squeeze my shoulders together, the passageway door that was tightly closed starts to open.
An enormous stench pierced my nose.
“Dammit. No matter how important it is to hide, you can't just leave a secret escape door in the dungeon. ”
“Don't say that. I put it in a place like this so no one would come. ”
“Yes. Some lunatic would think a secret escape route is connected to a place like this. ”
The executives teased themselves and showed themselves out one by one through the wide open gate.
A huge pile of manure piles up around the entrance.
“Ugh. Smell. ”
“Let's get out of here first. ”
The executives quickly walked as they twisted their noses.
No, I tried to move it.
“Huh?! ”
However, they froze like rocks with surprised rabbit eyes.
A group of soldiers lined up along the urine reservoir.
Their breastplates were engraved with familiar symbols.
“Ah, how did Amaranth's troops get here.......”
The Amaranth troops who raided the intelligence headquarters appeared on a secret escape route.
At that time, the young man dressed in a different outfit from the back stepped aside to the left and to the right.
Very small and slender eyes were impressive.
“Dearly beloved Janis Intelligence executives, There's a lot of trouble in a pile of dirty manure. ”
Attitude that is confident and justified.
“My name is Clay. I will take Prince Tail in the future.......”
You have a strange smile on your mouth.
“It's a druid.”
