I am the Monarch
< Chapter 31 Territory War >
------------------------------------
"We need to send a messenger right away. Territory war at the same time! This is ridiculous!"
Prince Simon Lines shouted with a red face.
For a long time, he was unleashing his fury.
However, it was a sharp cynicism that flew in from the other side.
"Sir, you say that after hearing the report? Earl Lancefield was the first to attack the territory. Earl Chase has only provoked self-immolation against him."
Flabby lips.
The protagonist of the mocking voice was Prince Tommy Rhynes.
The three princes and nobles of the Rhine Kingdom hurriedly searched for the royal clashes before they flew from the northeast.
Earl Lancefield versus Earl Chase.
The Kingdom of Rhine was just beginning to choose its breath after the end of a massive war and subjugation.
Each territory was focused on restoring damage and fatigue that had been accumulated.
Thanks to this, the Kingdom of the Rhine has remained a little at peace during the reign of the crown.
But...
"Once again, the whole kingdom will be swept away by this war. '
Earl Lancefield versus Earl Chase...
"Prince Simon versus Prince Tommy, or Prince Simon versus the other two. '
The territorial war in this situation was not just a feud between nobles.
'The one who wins this territorial war can win the throne.'
If Earl Iolansfield wins, the royal succession race will flow to Simon's liquor.
On the contrary, if Earl Jonathan Chase wins, Tommy and Column, who are just behind the throne competition, will once again gain power.
"We need to stop this war right now!"
Simon glances at Tommy and yells at the nobles.
"Yes! What time is it? A territorial war......."
"Earl Lancefield and Earl Chase are major borders. If there is a territorial war, there is a huge hole in the border defense."
"If Byron and Estelle invade, we won't be able to respond properly."
The nobles who follow Simon give their support.
But...
"Let's get one thing clear. Earl Lancefield first attacked the territory, according to a messenger report. The cause of this attack is Earl Lancefield. You admit that part, right?"
"Hmm."
According to Tommy, the nobles supporting Simon swallowed his depression in an uncomfortable manner.
"Why would Earl Lancefield do such a foolish thing? '
"This is a conspiracy. This is definitely a conspiracy. '
"Earl Lancefield is not one to do this. '
Earl Iolansfil was a nobleman who loved the kingdom more than anyone.
He was not the one who would first stir up trouble for his private affairs.
However, given the objective facts so far, Earl Lancefield attacked Earl Chase first.
"Earl Chase has exercised his right to defend himself, and is keeping the invader Earl Lancefield at bay. Moreover, the old feelings between Earl Chase and Earl Lancefield have not been understandable for generations. Earl Lancefield attacked Earl Chase as well….."
Tommy explained his thoughts about this territorial war in a vivid and cheerful voice for a while.
He looks straight at Simon in the middle of a war.
"Once again, it was Earl Lancefield who did it first. Under these circumstances, it would be completely unreasonable to order Earl Chase to retreat. It's not a good thing to leave the perpetrator and wipe up the victims. Isn't that right, brother?"
A sarcastic voice.
Simon shakes his whole body with a burning fist.
I wanted to smash Tommy's jaw line with my fist right now.
But then it was all over.
It was clear that the nobles supporting Tommy and Column would run like bees.
'This war will not be a problem, but will also be eliminated from the throne competition.'
Simon breathes out a long sigh, barely dipping his anger down his throat.
"Tommy, you have a point. But the two earls are on the main border. Leaving the Territory War alone creates a great loophole in border defenses."
Then three Prince Column Lines, who were standing behind him, stepped forward.
"Sir, don't worry about that. We can send troops to the Northern and Eastern forces to fight back at the border defense. Moreover, the Eastern Kingdom and Byron Kingdom are no longer at stake to invade our kingdom."
It was true.
The Byron and Estelle kingdoms were worse than the Rhine kingdoms.
"Hmm."
Simon squints at Tommy and Column.
"You two want to hold hands. '
What to expect from the first time you heard about the start of the Territory.
'No, maybe the Territory itself was your work.'
Simon grips his teeth.
He turns his head to look at Duke Bradley Webster.
He is one of the Four Dukes of the Rhine Kingdom and his only grandfather.
But for some reason, Bradley shakes his head in fear of making eye contact with Simon.
A gesture that clearly tells you to quit and back off.
'Why……?'
Io was among the nobles who supported Simon.
If he loses this territory, Simon's foundation could shake tremendously.
Simon looks at Bradley with disbelieving eyes.
Bradley takes a short sigh and steps forward.
"I listened to Prince Tommy and Prince Column."
The 4th Duke was one of the big axes supporting the Rhine Kingdom.
Bradley's words were different from those of the common nobles.
Naturally, everyone's gaze turned towards him.
"But you can't just sit there and watch. We recommend that you limit the duration of the Territory War to one month and that you do not allow any other territories to participate except Earl Lancefield and Earl Chase."
"Duke Webster!"
Simon yells, frowning.
Bradley shakes his head with a stiff look.
It means don't move anymore.
"Hehe."
Simon is the first prince of the realm, but he can't be tied up with Bradley.
He had to keep his mouth shut with a bunch of reminded expressions.
"What the hell were you thinking...?"
Bradley slowly turned around as Simon stepped back and asked Tommy, Column, and the other nobles.
"What do you think of my offer?"
Unlike her soft voice, her eyes were shining as brightly as they did.
Since I've stepped back this much, I feel like you should concede at a reasonable level.
Tommy and Column's eyes move rapidly.
Duke Edwin Boysa and Duke Reese Cowan nod slightly.
'That's enough.'
'Circumstances are in our favor.'
Into the eyes.
Tommy and Column nod, smiling faintly.
"As expected, I must applaud Duke Webster."
"This is territorial warfare. It's been a disaster. I don't think it'll be a problem unless it's confirmed."
The two smiles had a cool glow.
They already knew the inside story of this territory.
'Duke Webster. It seems that me and Column are trying to pull together to help Earl Chester…..'
'What should I do? Earl Lancefield has collapsed from the inside. Ugh.'
I kept smiling.
Simon and Bradley feel better on their own, thinking they don't know anything.
Bradley nods, smiling faintly, knowing the inside of these two people.
"Then, I will summarize the previous arrangement and report to His Majesty."
He was in a hurry to organize the meeting.
Simon's expression was still hard to convince, and Tommy and Column were forced to smile.
Bradley shakes his head slightly as he looks at the three princes.
'That's so....... You guys are still young.'
I remembered a strange smile on my mouth.
It was a very clumsy smile.
* * *
Rrrrgh!
The planet exploded.
It was more like a cry.
"No, that's ridiculous."
"Are you really the lord?"
"Setus is stuck, isn't he?"
The soldiers in the Tail Army looked half stunned.
They climb up the water column and look up at Roan.
Uahhhhhh!
Every time Travis' spear moves, the stream cracks open the space.
The waterfall happened along a complex and beautiful lane.
Every time, Setus' solid fuselage splits apart and red blood spurts out.
'I didn't think it would have this much power with essence of water.'
Roan, who was wielding his blue hair and pressuring Setus, was greatly astonished.
The essence of water surrounding the surface of Manahol was more powerful than I imagined.
"If only there was such a powerful Mana method as the Flamdor Mana Act….."
Several times more powerful than it is now.
At that moment, I smiled bitterly at Roan's mouth.
'The Flamdor Mana method is powerful, but lacks firearms to be utilized, and its numbers are abundant, but there is no Mana method to be utilized properly.'
Firearms and artillery.
Both of them were still halfway there.
Of course I do.
"You're so strong! '
Roan grips his teeth and stabs Travis through the spear.
At that moment, a vast stream of water flies towards Zetus, forming a sharp lance.
Khhh!
Setus swings his remaining arm vigorously with the beast.
But...
Phew!
The aquifer pierces his arm and sticks it into his torso.
Squeak.
The stream that dug deep into the fuselage fades away and hides its tracks.
Rrrrgh!
Setus howls, looking at his lying forearms.
He looks at him and prepares for the final blow.
'I'd like to bother you even more if I thought...'
In fact, he was also not very relaxed.
When I climbed out of the lake, I started getting firearms in the empty Manahole.
'The more firearms you enter, the harder it is to handle.'
In addition, power was also rapidly decreasing.
'I can't control these two energies at the same time with my skills.'
I felt bad, but I didn't intend to be greedy.
Because I could have crashed with firearms and manpower while trying to control the two energies.
'Slow down.'
There's still plenty of time.
'Let's take care of him first.'
Roan twists his wrists, grinding his teeth.
Travis' spear closest to his body.
A stream of water rises along the spear and the pole.
Literally the last blow.
I didn't have to leave a note in my body.
Paaaaaaaah!
An enormous maneuver swirls around Roan.
The hair that was stained with blue color gradually returned to its original color.
The skin that was transparent also visited my color.
[Roan.]
Kinis, who had grown as much as a girl, also decreased to the size of the palm of his hand again.
Fortunately, the shape is still apparent.
"I'm sorry I made you smaller again. '
[No, it's still more comfortable. I had a hard time adjusting to the sudden overblown wind.]
Kinnis struggles to smile brightly and flies over Roan's head.
Instead of answering, Roan nods slightly and looks at Setus.
"Let's get this over with."
A short handover.
Rrrrgh!
Setus replies on an unknown basis.
He takes a deep breath and pokes out his spear.
Suji, who was wrapped around her body, flew to Setus on a stream of water.
Uhhhhhhh!
The stream tore the space apart.
Setus gapes at the stream of water flying towards him.
Khh!
A massive stream of water gushes out of your mouth with the readiness.
It was much larger and thicker than the stream that Roan shot out.
"Ah......."
"No!"
The Tail Army troops that were watching burst into a mournful elasticity.
The stream of Setus seems to be feeding on Roan's stream.
That was a significant difference between the two streams.
But he doesn't blink an eye.
'I believe.'
He believed in the essence of his water, the power of his water.
Kinis also protected Roan's head with a fair look.
And finally.
Kuaaaaang!
Roan's stream collides with Setus's.
With a loud sound, there was a blizzard everywhere.
"Ugh."
"Ugh!"
The Tail Army soldiers grip their teeth with a full-blown tornado.
Kwakwang!
Once again, the noise rang.
The soldiers think that Setus' vast stream of water may have consumed Roan's body of water.
But...
Rrrrgh!
The one who was embarrassed was Setus.
He finds a small stream of Roan's water coming through his stream.
Rrrrgh!
Setus exhales once more with all his strength.
Nevertheless, Roan's stream was unstoppable.
Roan's stream rises up against Setus' stream like a juicy salmon.
Khhh!
Setus vomited his last breath.
It was a howl of despair and fear.
At the same time.
Ewwww!
Roan's stream pierced his skull.
Puang!
Setus' head explodes with a loud bang.
Uahhhhhh!
With a blizzard, Fibonacci spreads like a mist.
"Woof!"
"Ugh!"
Some soldiers are nauseous, unable to overcome their nasty bloodlines.
Kuku Ball Bow.
Meanwhile, Setus, who was standing stiffly, slowly falls down, leaning toward the brick.
A huge veil struck the sailboat.
"Hehe!"
"Grab the safety line!"
There is an urgent sound.
But in the meantime, Harrison ran to the front.
He shouts out loud at the place where he had just stood.
"My lord! My lord!"
The wailing voice shook the blizzard.
Immediately, the other soldiers rush to the edge of the deck.
"My lord! My lord!"
"Turn on the boat lights!"
"Tell them where we are!"
Urgent sounds fill the gap between the sailboat and the sailboat.
As the uproar continues, several soldiers burst into tears.
"Hehe. My lord."
"Heheh heh heh. Heh."
Then.
"Stop crying because I'm not dead."
At the center of the deck, you hear a familiar voice.
Soft but powerful voice.
The voice was definitely Roan's.
All troops from the flagship, including Harrison, converge to the center of the deck.
Rrrrgh.
The blizzard is obscuring the sails.
On top of that, a black ingot stands down toward the deck.
Chuck.
Smooth landing motion.
It was Ronan who revealed himself with a faint smile.
Blue hair and clear skin regain their original color.
"My lord!"
"My lord! Are you hurt?"
Harrison and his men rush towards Roan.
Roan shrugs, smiling brightly.
"I'm fine. But first..."
He smiles strangely at Setus' corpse, rising above the lake.
"I have work to do."
"What do I do?"
Harrison bites with red-hot eyes.
Roan nods slightly and speaks in a small voice.
"There's a rumor I've heard a long time ago......."
The smile on my mouth became darker.
"I'm going to check it out."
meaningful expression and voice.
Harrison and the soldiers unknowingly follow Roan's gaze and look at Setus' corpse.
It reminded me of a small island in a resembling lake.
Boooooo!
The sound of the trumpet echoes around the flagship.
Uahhhhhh!
Dozens of sailboats soon began to move across the surface.
Their goal is Setus' corpse.
Purpose?
Only Roan knew about it yet.
