I am the Monarch

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

Fortunately, there are several empty houses in and around Mediacis.

It was thanks to the construction of houses and buildings that the technologists had not stopped building while Roan was also leaving for Milr.

Soldiers who moved to the new Baron Tail along with Roan were able to find a place to live without any problems.

It was a fresh and great shock to them.

The newly assigned house was several times cleaner and better than where they lived.

They once again decided to bury the bones in the Baron Tail for themselves, for the sake of Roan.

During the household deployment and military maintenance, Roan checked all the reports and paperwork that had been piled up and immediately resolved any issues that needed repairs and support.

Meanwhile, Chris returned to the territory with three merchants from the Tail business unit, and Austin, who later guarded Elton's territory, returned with some residents of the area.

At last, all the members, families, brothers and sisters of Roan returned home.

I wasn't that relaxed in time, but I couldn't suddenly leave for the Persian kingdom.

Before that, I had to prepare and I had to do something.

The first of them were the formal deployment and reorganization of the Tail Force, the organization management and the appointment of a leader.

"We formally launch a Tail Army based on 15,000 troops."

The inauguration ceremony and inauguration were ready.

The commander has been appointed as Baron of the Rhine Kingdom and Lord of the Baron Tail.

His deputy commander was named Sammy and Austin, and they were each promoted to the Three Thousand Captain.

Along with the two, some of the existing white blacksmiths were promoted to commanders of the Thousand, and Roan divided Amaranth's troops into direct units.

"Austin, appoint you deputy commander of the Tail Army, commander of the Three Thousand, and name you Fides."

"I'll do my best to be loyal!"

On one knee, Austin raises his hands and receives the baton that he lowers.

He lowers his head and shed tears.

"I'm the Deputy Commander….."

It reminded me of the past.

When I was a regular soldier without being a squad leader, I was formed into Roan's new squad.

Having a brutal and brutal battlefield with Roan.

Eventually I came up here, and the humble Spearman became the Deputy Commander of the Baron.

"Austin, I look forward to seeing you again."

Roan grabs Austin by the shoulder.

"Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh."

Finally, Austin bursts into tears, unbearable.

Soldiers hovering below the statue stole their hot eyes with their hands.

Even Roan was overwhelmed, but he took a deep breath with a smile.

Austin slams his baton at his waist and returns to his seat.

Then it was Sammy's turn.

"Sammy, I hereby appoint you deputy commander of the Tail Army, commander of the Three Thousand, and name you Impes." "

"I'll do my best to be loyal!"

Sammy also knelt on one knee and raised his hands to receive the command rod that Roan lowered.

He also did not hold the overwhelming emotion.

Even Sammy, who was tough and hard, shed tears and soon the inauguration ceremony became a sea of tears.

But it was never a sad, sad cry.

Tears of joy and tears of joy were shed by those who overcame adversity and suffering and accomplished what they wanted.

"I look forward to it."

Roan's voice pierces the cry and fills the inauguration ceremony.

Since then, every time I appointed a commander of the Thousand Seals and a white commander, a cry rang out.

Only one person, Clay enjoyed the joy and brightness of his appointment to the administrative officer in charge of the entire territory.

So the inauguration ceremony was over.

A total of 150 white captains, 15 thousand captains, and two three thousand captains were appointed.

In addition, people with administrative, financial and administrative capabilities, such as Clay and O'Neill, each received a position and position appropriate to their abilities, and were encouraged to keep up with somewhat sluggish territorial management.

Roan stands on top of the statue and looks at the stampeding soldiers.

Everyone stopped crying, but his eyes and cheeks were running red.

"Everyone's been through a lot."

Bold voice.

"But this is not the end. We still have a way to go, and that path may be much tougher and more difficult than the path we've walked so far."

I felt a little tired in my voice.

Gulp.

15,000 soldiers swallowed dry water without even knowing it.

He looks them straight in the eye and says,

"You can follow me as you have so far. I too......."

His voice narrows again.

However, the voice of vigor and sincerity was rather hot.

"I'm going to trust you."

A terrifying shout erupted at the end of the horse.

"Waaaahhhh!"

"Long live Roan Tail!"

"Hail, Baron Tail!"

"Hail to the Tail Army!"

Long live the sound of heaven and earth.

Enter the winter when the cold northern winds blow.

Baron Tail was reborn.

* * *

The meetings that had been held without any distinction, such as general, emergency, or military, were also reorganized for the purpose after the inauguration ceremony.

The white captains who attended every meeting are now only attending military meetings.

Because of this, when a special meeting was held about Roan's visit to the Persian Kingdom, the attendees were confined to the commanders of the platoon's deputy commanders, the commanders of the Three Thousand Cactus, Austin, Sami, Amaranth's commanders and commanders of the Thousand Cactus, Harrison and Brian, the administrative officers Clay, and Chris and Kiev, the commanders of Agents.

"Once you've established a merchant guild through the Tail business, you can buy and operate farms in the Eastern Kingdom."

Everyone nods at Clay's words.

His words continued.

"Once the Merchant Guild is established, the Lord and Harrison Seals, Brian Seals and myself will be disguised as merchants and headed to the Eastern Kingdom."

Clay points to the map on the table.

"The Eastern Kingdom is currently experiencing severe food shortages. Thanks to this, grain merchants among many have easy access to the border. We can cross borders as much as the people of the Rhine Kingdom who don't know each other well."

It was true.

Roan, Clay, etc. were going to use this.

"After that, as I said before......."

Clay explained the plans he had made to supplement and establish more robustly over the past few days.

Everyone nods without a reaction.

It was such a difficult plan to find a loophole.

After hearing the whole story, Roan looks at everyone's face and opens his mouth carefully.

"If we stick to our plan, we'll be back in the territory in two months. Until then, let Austin, Sammy and Chris come together to run the territory."

"Yes, I understand."

Austin et al. replied in one voice.

Roan takes a deep breath.

"Very well. Build yourself a Grain Merchant now."

Everyone nods slightly and takes a step to carry out their mission.

Then Chris asked carefully.

"What should I name the merchant?"

It seemed nothing, but it was quite important.

Everyone looks at Roan.

As Roan ponders for a moment, he smiles and replies briefly.

"I'll go to the Charity Merchant Guild."

"Ah......."

Chris nods with low elasticity.

The Charity Merchant Guild.

Somehow I liked the name.

* * *

Chris was in charge of founding the Charity Merchant Guild.

With the help of three young merchants, Lydia, Eska and Ford, he produced a fairly large grain merchant merchant.

The Merchant Guild is temporarily appointed by Eska, a caterer, and Clay is appointed to travel to the Eastern Kingdom.

When the Merchant Guild was founded, Clay wandered around with Earl Lancefield and nearby and bought a huge amount of grain.

Meanwhile, Chris has been issued a merchant license and a border pass through neighboring territory, including the Baron Tail and Earl Lancefield.

I released the informants here and spread the rumor that the Charity Merchant Guild was originally a fairly old merchant guild.

Thanks to this, even suspecting the Cherity Merchant Guild in the Eastern Kingdom makes it impossible to determine its authenticity.

As Roan was preparing to cross the border, news of the war between Byron, the Istell and the Persian kingdoms came to Mill.

The king was in complete disarray.

It is surprising that the Byron and Istel kingdoms have joined forces to attack the Persian kingdoms, but I am half amazed by the news that they have been defeated.

However, these reactions sank faster than I thought because Simon, Tommy, and Prince Column had turned people's attention away.

Simon needed to turn people's attention elsewhere so that he could enter the kingdom of Persian safely, and in the case of the Three Prince Columns, he had an intimate relationship with Prince Reytas Persian, the First Prince of the kingdom of Persian, so he didn't want to attract people's attention for no reason.

I just couldn't figure out why Tommy was trying to cover it up and get his attention elsewhere.

Regardless, the reaction and news of the same royal family was passed on to Roan through Keefe's Tenebra troops.

'This is why politics is so hard.'

Nothing happens when you try to control each other.

But I couldn't waste my time thinking about it.

"Three days later, we leave for the Eastern Kingdom."

Finally, an order is given.

To this end, Roan led an armada of Amaranth to the town of Newfer, on the shores of Lake Foucane.

The town of Newfer is home to the Armed Forces of Amaranth in order to deceive people's eyes.

Here, Roan, Harrison and Brian plan to pretend to conquer the armies of Amaranth and Lake Porsche.

In fact, he was going to join the Charity Merchant Guild under the guise of a merchant and move to the Eastern Kingdom.

If the plan succeeds, people won't suspect much, even if they don't see Roan for a while.

"My lord, be careful."

Dive leans back with a worried look.

On the other hand, Roan smiles and nods.

"Dive. As soon as I get back, I'm going to take down Lake Porsche. Until then, let's be ready."

"Yes, don't worry."

Dive replied with a confident voice.

Since Roan had to pretend to conquer Lake Porsche anyway, from now on he had to lead the fleet without rest and traverse Lake Porsche.

In the process, the skills of boat builders and sailors on board boats will grow greatly.

"The lord only cares about the lord's body."

The dive bends back once more.

As Roan is escorted by the dive, he and Harrison and Brian escape the Baron Tail.

The destination is in the far east corner of Earl Lancefield.

The Charity Merchants Guild is already there with a tremendous amount of grain.

Three days of walking day and night.

At last, Roan was able to meet with the Charity Merchant Guild.

"Well done."

Clay, well dressed, bows his head.

He wasn't dressed in shabby clothes like Roan, Harrison, or Brian because he was the person responsible for the travel.

Roan nods, smiling and smiling.

"From now on, act accordingly as a gait of ascent. I'll act like a porter, too."

I didn't know who would be watching me.

Clay nods, smiling faintly.

"Yes, don't worry."

My smile grew darker.

'I'm confident about that.'

I swallowed the last word without saying it out loud.

Roan takes a deep breath to see if he knows the inside of Clay.

"So, shall we go? Roy Hangout."

Roy mentioned Clay.

Clay nods and climbs into the wagon in the middle of the Merchant Guild.

"Let's get going."

As you give the command in a small voice, the upper party begins to move.

Tick-tock. Tick-tock.

A cart of massive grain continues indefinitely.

The journey continued for two days.

The procession was now passing through the border gates of the Rhine Kingdom and crossing the buffer zone.

"Border Gateway!"

You hear a loud voice in the lead.

Immediately, some merchants swallowed dry water with tense expressions.

When Roan saw him standing next to the cart, he smiled faintly.

"Don't worry about it. We're really going to the Eastern Kingdom to buy and sell grain."

Of course, I was going to do something else together.

"Yes. Young....... No, okay. Henry."

A merchant indifferently talks and quickly changes his words.

Henry was the name that Roan decided to use on the operation.

Then the ascent that was moving without rest finally stopped.

A top leader enters the entrance of the gate.

Suddenly, the fierce expressions of soldiers approach both sides with spears raised.

They glanced at the bottom of the cart or looking at the sack of grain.

Phew!

Among them were those who stabbed the sack with their spears.

A grain grain spilled out, but no one complained.

If I had my way, I could have been caught and tied up.

"There's nothing wrong with the item!"

The soldiers inspecting the grain sacks scream loudly.

Then, I approached the place where the grain had been spilled and picked up a handful and put it in my pocket.

'I heard the food difficulties are worse than I thought.'

When Roan sees him, he shakes his head.

Meanwhile, Gateway Commander Doss was standing next to the wagon Clay was riding, checking for a merchant's license and border pass.

"The Cherity Merchant Guild?"

"Yes, that's right."

"I've been working at this gate for 10 years and I've never heard of it."

The look of suspicion.

Clay, however, replied confidently as though it had already been anticipated.

"I originally traded south of the Rhine Kingdom."

"But?"

Regardless, Clay looks sorry.

"I don't have to tell you this, but selling grain in the Eastern Kingdom is a lot of money....... Hmmm."

Doss frowned, but did not do any harm or mischief.

However, I checked several times, alternating back and forth between the unseen permits and passes.

Clay, who was watching, pulls out a small pocket from his chest.

"And I picked this up on the way over, so please find the owner."

"Found it?"

Doss peeks into his pockets.

It was a bag of gold and silver mixed together.

A bribe prepared in advance.

Doss nods, smiling brightly so his teeth could be seen.

"Well, he's been very persistent lately, unlike young people. I'll make sure you find your master."

"Yes, I trust the commander. And......."

Clay looks to the left and right for no reason and says in a small voice.

"I'll leave you a small cart and split it with your men."

Dozens of grain sacks were a tremendous bribe after a terrible food crisis.

Doss' mouth is now in his ears.

"Hmmm? Kmm. I don't think so......."

Clay shakes his head with a smile.

"No, you'll have to go through this gate often, and I'm just saying that you'll suffer every time because of us."

"Oh, what a friend."

Doss taps his chest with a clenched fist.

"Don't worry about going through this gate. I'll take special care of it."

"Oh, thank you."

Clay bows, shaking his head for no reason.

The two of them talked about my rotten talk for a while like that.

Meanwhile, a small bag of money moved again.

Doss exclaims in excitement.

"Get rid of the binder! The Charity Merchant Guild is through!"

The wooden fence, which was blocking the gate, was horrified by the fall of the horse, has cleared to the left and to the right.

Clay sneaks his head out of the wagon and greets you.

"Well, I'll see you around."

"Yes! Be careful!"

Doss waves his hand, smiling brightly, as if to show off his old friend.

Clay stares at it for a long time, then hides himself inside the wagon.

"Dirty bastards."

The face that I just smiled at disappeared everywhere.

Clay kicks his tongue with a frowny face.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Those who are so incompetent and want to fill their stomachs will starve the common people to death." "

Although Clay meant a great deal to the new name, he also basically set out to create a rich country where anyone can live well.

Of course, the process and method were very different from that of Roan.

'Later, if I go to the higher position, I will find all these things and cut their throats.'

I didn't need teaching or emotion or education.

'When you rule with punishment, you will act with kindness.'

That was Clay's idea.

Meanwhile, Roan, who was walking with the cart, was later crossing the border gate of the Eastern Kingdom.

The Easterl Kingdom troops around you look intensely at you, but no one recognizes Roan.

Although Roan is gaining notoriety as a Red Ghost, very few people know what he looks like.

Moreover, even the rumor was that his hair, eyebrows, and eyes were all known to be red, so no one could see Roan now and notice that he was a red ghost.

But...

"Hmm. Strange….."

One of the gateway soldiers mutters in a small voice, a young man with big, thick eyes.

He looks back at Roan, who is a little further away.

One of the soldiers next to you taps his shoulder and asks.

"What's wrong?"

The wide-eyed young man pointed to Roan's rear view and replied.

"You know, Don't you think people are standing around like they're escorting him?"

"What? Escort?"

The soldier frowned and stared at the place the young man pointed at for a long time.

But soon I tilted my head.

"Well, I have no idea."

"Really?"

The young man once again followed in Roan's footsteps.

However, the upper matrix was already far away.

A soldier who was talking to each other slapped the young man on the back of the head.

"Hey, Fizzio. That's always been your problem. I don't know if you have good eyes or good feelings, but that makes you suspicious of everything."

"But it looked really strange......."

The young man, Picio, blurred his words with a blurry expression.

He was still chasing an invisible merchant procession.

'I'll check again the next time I come back.'

Fizzio rolls the same word in his mouth several times in case he forgets.

'The Charity Merchant Guild, the Charity Guild, the Charity Guild.......'

The big eyes sparkle.
