I am the Monarch

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

“Did you hear that?"

“What? Ah! Any word on Baron Tail's advance troops? ”

“Yes, the news. ”

“There's no one in the royal family who doesn't know the news. I've known all along. ”

“Looks like Prince Simon did something big this time. ”

“I think so, too. ”

Loud conversations.

Dozens of nobles in the glorious battle focused on one news that the king has been heating up Mill recently.

Roan Tail's incomprehensible march.

When I first heard the news, I thought the report was wrong.

The direction of Roan's march was absurd and very foolish.

At least it was when they saw it.

“My prince.”

Thio Luin looks worried as he hears the noise of the nobles.

Simon shakes his head with a bold expression.

“It's okay. You don't have to worry. ”

Thio sighed for a short time.

“Hoo. Even if I wanted to trust the Baron Tail, why would the march be so strange? ”

Simon grins and grabs onto one of his shoulders.

“Baron Tail marches into places he cannot fathom..."

I felt strong in my voice.

“Because there is victory. I believe so. ”

But he was also a little skeptical.

My eyes were slightly shaken.

‘Baron Tail might have an idea. ’

He tried to blow the doubt out of his mind.

Can I trust you? Baron Tail. No....... ’

Simon grips his teeth.

‘I will trust you. ’

Roan's ability that I have shown you.

Simon wanted to believe that.

Baron Logan Dale, Grand Palace Chamberlain, reveals himself.

He tapped the marble floor three times with a giant rod.

“The sun of the kingdom, the King Denny III, the representative of Krea, eats. All loyal members of the realm set an example. ”

Simon finally got rid of his grief.

‘War is not just happening in the north of the kingdom. This place is also.......’

He leans into the fray and bends at his waist toward Denny Von Rheines.

‘This is also a battlefield. ’

Simon clenches his fist.

There is a strange energy in the battle.

It was definitely the energy of the battlefield.

* * *

Dagdac. Dagdac.

The hoof sounds noisy.

The squadron surges into the northern wind.

< Tail Corps. >

The troops that were moving relentlessly toward the north-east were the tail troops that confounded the king as well as Mills Boysa and Chester Cowan.

“I see Caron Village! ”

A cavalry soldier on a posthumous mission shouts.

Leading the army, Roan smiles faintly.

‘Finally you've arrived. ’

I headed to a village far away.

No, to be precise, I was chasing the invisible beyond town.

‘Everyone's wondering. ’

The smile on my mouth became darker.

We're getting away from Baron Elton Court.

It was a strange march that no one else could understand.

It is the same for the soldiers in the Tail Army.

“What the hell are you doing here? ”

“This is a long way from Baron Court. ”

“Maybe you took a wrong turn? ”

Soldiers withdrawn from the Reagate and Ruin troops chatter.

“Baron Tail's decision. We just follow orders. ”

“He is not one to give false orders. ”

At least the Amaranth troops have kept things quiet.

“Bypass without entering the village! ”

Roan's orders falter strangely in the direction of the March Army.

The Tail Army has left Caron on the right and moved north.

After the vast expanse of the stars, the blue river appeared.

“I can see the river Tero! ”

The scout screams.

Without hurrying, Roan slowly drives his horse to the river.

“You're here at last. ”

Austin mutters nervously.

Roan nods slowly and looks up at the Tero River.

‘Tero River.......’

A river that originates in the north of the Plain of Pedian and flows into Lake Foucane.

It was the largest spring water source in the northern part of the Rhine Kingdom and was quite large.

It was a big river within three fingers of the kingdom.

However, it was not appropriate to use it.

Water in many fields or small riverside villages were all small fisheries.

It's all because of Lake Porsche. ’

The rivers of the Rhine Kingdom all flowed into Lake Porsche, regardless of their origin.

A situation in which one end is blocked.

Thanks to this, even though the flow rate was abundant, transportation did not develop more than I thought.

‘It's a pity. ’

Roan smiles bitterly.

Originally, we should have subdued the monsters of Lake Foucane and set up a port on Exxos Island by now.

‘I stayed in the royal family longer than I expected. ’

We need to contain the Elton Rebellion there.

‘When this is over, let's clear Lake Porsche first. ’

I couldn't slow it down any longer.

At least one north of the lake needed to calm down.

‘By the way.......’

Roan's gaze is towards the Tero River.

‘There's nothing. ’

This was unexpected.

Then.

“My lord, I don't see anything. ”

I heard Austin's voice.

“Is there anything wrong with that? ”

His expression seemed a little uneasy.

In fact, Austin has been worrying constantly throughout the march.

This plan was such a crazy move.

At that moment, I heard a voice from behind me.

“Don't worry too much. Nothing can go wrong. ”

The person approaching with a soft smile was Clay.

His expression was very relaxed.

‘Clay.......’

Roan's gaze is on Clay.

‘You are far more talented than I expected. ’

He was first assigned to Clay as a supply manager for Amaranth's unit.

Maybe it was a lame position compared to what he showed.

However, Clay was unexpectedly and faithfully discharged from the mission.

In just over a month, Amaranth's military and supplies, weapons and equipment management systems were completely changed.

I have carefully reviewed and purchased or distributed the quantities and supplies I had originally shipped, as well as documenting and storing all control quantities.

Thanks to this, we no longer have to use goods, weapons and equipment in vain, and our military management has also changed several times more efficiently.

Some of the soldiers who first looked at Clay with suspicious eyes had no choice but to admit one of their abilities.

Problem is.

‘There are some things that are too arbitrary in the process of doing things. ’

He had greatly overestimated his abilities.

I was silent about the advice and opinions of others around me, and I often pushed things according to my judgment and decisions.

Of course, most of Clay's judgments and decisions were correct and resulted in better results.

But the complaints and complaints of those around him were growing daily apart from him.

Happens when you work well and take offense.

‘If we take him well, he will surely be a great force. ’

Roan takes a deep breath.

Clay-like figures were hard to come by.

‘This scheme was also something I had not thought of. ’

In fact, Roan was deeply troubled before the Rebellion march.

‘Straightforward, there was no victory. ’

The mountain range extending south of the Court territory was problematic, but the nobles who followed the two princes Tommy Lines and the three princes Columns.

‘Besides, Mills and Chester held hands. ’

A fact that Clay's druid skills have led him to discover.

With Mills and Chester working together, it was likely that only Roan's advance troops would be delayed.

‘I needed a countermeasure. ’

Clay then suggests a move.

‘We take the boat up to the Tero River.......’

A plan I never thought of.

The town of Newfer, on the shore of Lake Foucane, was building a navy.

That's why they were planning to subdue the monsters of Lake Porsche.

However, I had never dreamed of using the navy for this insurgency operation.

‘I was obsessed with stereotypes without my knowledge. ’

The Rhine Kingdom's river does not serve as a transport.

I was obsessed with that idea without even knowing it.

‘But Clay came up with the most ideal plan without any stereotypes or prejudices, just the situation itself. ’

Even more surprising.

‘It's only been a month since I came out, and I've been tracking all the progress that I've made on my navy and how far the situation has gone. ’

I didn't know that before.

Clay asked Keefe to study and familiarize himself with all the information on the Baron Tail during his duties as a merchandise manager.

That's why he was able to give up his guilt at once when he was troubled.

‘You are the genius who is trying. ’

Roan looks directly into Clay's eyes.

I pretended to be bold, but I was overconfident in my eyes and attitude.

Then.

“Are you sure you're okay? There's nothing by the river. ”

Austin asked with a stiff expression.

Clay nods slowly.

“They'll be here soon. ”

A look of confidence.

‘My calculations must be correct. Sailors are arriving soon. If something goes wrong.......’

I frowned.

‘That is the fault of Director Chris of Agents. ’

Clay and Chris were working together on this.

If the ships in New Fer don't arrive on time, it's because Chris made a mistake in the middle.

At least that's what Clay thought.

Austin sighs briefly, looking at Clay's confident expression.

“If something goes wrong, we'll have a big thread in the uprising.......”

When the horse goes on like that.

“Here he comes.”

You hear Roan's voice.

“Yes?”

Austin turns to look surprised and follows Roan's gaze.

But all I could see was the calm flow of the river Tero.

“Uh, where……? ”

Austin reaches out his head with his eyes wide open.

But there was still nothing to see.

Then.

Boooooo!

You hear a faint sound of the trumpet.

At the same time, a prow protrudes from the waterway hidden in Carron Village.

“Ah!”

Austin burst a low elasticity.

The same was true of the 10,000 soldiers who plucked from the rear.

“The boat, the boat! ”

“The boat's here! ”

“That's dozens, not one or two! ”

Everyone looks surprised and panicked.

Clay, on the other hand, smiles as confident as that.

‘There's no way I'm wrong. Director Chris is doing a good job, too. ’

The arrogance fills my head.

Uahhhhhh!

With the sound of the current cutting, dozens of sailboats toss the rope to shore.

As Roan watches the situation, he tugs at the troops and looks at them.

“Tail Squad! Prepare for boarding now! ”

A resounding voice.

“We sail up the Tero River! ”

At that moment, the soldiers were distracted.

“Well, is that possible? ”

“On a boat? ”

They were as rigid as normal people.

Phew! Phew!

Once more, the trumpet sounds.

The strangely shaped sailboats withdrew or crept into place.

Yuck!

With the sound of twisting trees, the tightly stretched sail folds in at once and anchors down.

A familiar ingot suddenly pops from the foremost solid and massive sailboat bow.

“My lord, it's been a long time since a Navy dive from the forces of Amaranth has greeted you! ”

A skinny-looking young man.

He was the same young boatman that Roan met when he went to Porter territory.

At the time, the dive, which was a whole ship, was constantly trying to achieve its dream of traversing Lake Porsche as much as possible, and the result was dozens of small and large boats.

Of course, he was able to renovate or build the sailboat because he had Roan's financial support.

“Dive! Great lead! ”

“It's all thanks to the lord! Hop on board!”

Dive yells with a big smile.

Roan nods and calls Austin, Harrison and Clay.

“Austin, we need to move faster and more discreetly from now on. First…..”

He calmly explained his plans for a while.

The intermediate lacking or missing areas were supplemented by clay.

After all, the man in charge of this operation was Clay.

“Yes, I understand. ”

Austin, who had heard the whole story, replied with a short ordinance.

Roan taps Austin on the shoulder and looks at the troops.

Pa!

Roan raises his spear high.

“Embark!”

Orders have been issued.

“Embark!”

“We're boarding fast! ”

Later, the White Captain and the Dozens shouted and moved quickly.

The troops move as smoothly as the waterway and head for the sailboat.

It was truly a spectacle I had never seen.

Roan smiles faintly and stares northwest.

The cloud flows down the ridge as far away as you can.

Beyond that lies the Elton Coat.

Boooooo!

The sound of the trumpet strikes the ear once more.

* * *

“Ahem. I'm so sleepy. ”

“The dawn guard duty is boring. Ahem.”

Two soldiers stand on the wall, yawning at the base.

The night sky was filled with stars.

“Are we really okay, by the way? I heard that the Resistance had set out from the Royal Road.......”

The pointed soldier mutters anxiously.

Then the bearded soldier shakes his hand with a bloody smile.

“There's nothing to worry about. Haven't you heard? Byron's kingdom will soon be dispatched. ”

“I hope so, but what if the Resistance arrives before they do? ”

A soldier with a pointed jaw still looks worried.

A bearded soldier kicks his tongue with a pathetic expression.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Don't worry about it. The Resistance must be on the southern border by now. You're in the mountains. The march is slow, and most of all, the Lord himself..."

Then.

Idiot!

You hear a sudden, sharp wave.

At the same time, the man who talked excitedly was silent.

Her eyes burst open.

Bang!

The man who was standing still was bent down.

“Huff!”

The pointed soldier looks surprised and looks down at the bearded soldier.

“Woe, arrows?! ”

My eyes widened as if they were unbelievable.

There was an arrow in the back of the fallen one.

The pointed soldier quickly raises his head and looks out of the castle.

Your eyes move rapidly, even if you try to find the direction where the arrow came from.

Then.

Idiot!

A sharp wave struck my ear.

Phew!

An arrow sticks out of the soldier's face with a pointed jaw.

“Ugh.”

He fell down and fell out of the castle.

Bang!

The dull sound echoes.

At the same time.

Idiot!

A huge number of flaming arrows flew across the night sky.

Bubble Bug!

The walls and gates of the burning castle, as well as the watchtower and the buildings inside the castle, were sealed.

The fire spread in an instant.

You push out the black darkness and the flame rises.

“As expected, there's no defense at all. ”

The protagonist of the voice was Clay.

A field stretched out of the castle.

There were a legion of Roans and Tails.

“Harrison, you've done a wonderful job. ”

Roan praises Harrison for taking down two of his guards with just two feet, and raises his spear high.

“The lordship of Elton Court is at hand! ”

I felt strong in my voice.

“Break through the gates and enter the fortress! ”

“Phew!"

The soldiers responded in one voice.

Roan grips.

“Attack!”

The order has been dropped.

Boooooo!

At the same time, the sound of the trumpet breaks the static in the field.

“Waaaahhhh!”

“Attack!”

“Break down the gates! ”

“Climb the walls! ”

Then you hear the screams of the soldiers.

Roan takes the lead and leads the army.

Travis' spear catches fire and flashes red.
