I am the Monarch

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

"So far, so good."

"Good."

Baron Cali Orwells was pleased with the deputy's report.

His gaze rises over the hills.

A wide open forest, a rugged mountain that suddenly rises above it.

Aslan Valley.

"Ronan arrives across the valley......."

Just sit down with your son, Walter Orwells, and you're all set.

"Walter, what are you doing? It's not the time to be late. '

A cool light flowed down the sides of my eyes.

Then.

"Bird!"

With a bright voice, Demis Izzie reveals herself.

He looked around the barracks for no reason, then took out a letter from his heart.

"This is a letter from Walter."

"Hmm."

Cali snatches the letter with a short sigh.

The contents of the letter were short and simple.

But it was enough to satisfy Cali's heart.

"Good. Things are going well."

The other commanders in the barracks carefully asked.

"Is this what you wanted?"

"You've arrived?"

Cali nods, smiling faintly.

"Yes. Roan's in the rear." "

Several commanders clench their fists fearfully at the end of the sentence.

It's the perfect trap.

Cali takes a step in front of the table.

On the table, a crude map unfolds that cannot be compared to that of Roan.

Cali's fingers move swiftly.

"Look closely. We are currently in the hills west of the Aslan Valley. He's in the eastern hills on the other side of town. And Walter is approaching right after."

The hills are so wide that it's not easy for Roan to find Walter.

At least that's what Carly and his deputies thought.

Cali points to a spacious, elongated space that runs through the Aslan Valley.

"Draw Roan into this valley."

As I have so far, I was planning to use the method of retreating after engaging in battle with small troops.

Roan didn't know the headquarters of the Cali and Orwells were here anyway. No, I didn't.

Of course, this was also Cali and her deputies' idea.

"They chase their allies into the valley and set fire to the western forest."

The commanders all nod.

Thanks to the warm and dry spring weather, the forest was in a dry state.

A situation where a single flare can burn an entire forest.

Cali's words continue.

"At the same time, Walter advances and sets fire to the eastern forest."

As planned, the Roan, Tail and Lancefield forces will be trapped in a firepit.

"Orwells' headquarters and Walter's troops slaughter Roan and the enemy fleeing to capture both forests."

This was Cali's first tactic.

Then Demis points to both mountains in the Aslan Valley.

"Don't you have ambushes at the top of both mountains?"

Cali quickly shakes her head.

"The mountain is so rugged, it has no great advantage."

There is no room for troops to attack the enemy.

Moreover, even if they were to settle down, they could not find any trees or rocks to throw down the valley.

Damith nods and retreats.

That's what Carly would have done.

No one knows Lansfield like Cali does.

Everyone's face reminded me of a blurry expectation.

'At this rate, it will be a great victory.'

'It can do a lot of damage to the enemy headquarters.'

A perfect victory to capture the victory of the Territory.

Then one of the young officers bites and opens his mouth carefully.

"But......."

At that moment, the eyes of all the commanders turned to the young officer.

He looks at the gaze that is pouring out on him, and he speaks in a small voice.

"What if it rains?"

Then the paintbrush you've worked so hard for will become a bubble.

The atmosphere that was good sank in an instant.

The situation struck the candle before the battle even began.

Damith looks up on everyone's behalf.

"Don't be an asshole! Don't you know the spring weather in Lansfield? It doesn't rain at this time of year!"

"Yes. It's time to emphasize that we should always be careless."

"It is also a time of suffering from drought."

Vomiting speeches poured out everywhere.

The young officer nods, smiling bitterly.

Then he stepped back and grabbed his neck.

Dead as can be seen.

Cali glances at the figure and bursts into laughter.

"It won't rain."

A confident voice.

His eyes gleam and glow.

"Unless the heavens abandon me….."

* * *

"Really?"

Baron Bernard Landingham looks up at the sky.

A cloudless sky.

He mutters in a curious tone.

"Is it really raining?"

"Yes, you certainly did. Right, my lord?"

Harrison was the one who kept asking questions.

Roan glances at the sky, looking inside the camp.

The weather was too nice for Bernard and the other commanders to worry about.

[Huh?! Roan, you're shaking your eyes a little. Isn't that right? You seem a little suspicious of me right now.]

At that moment, I heard Kinis' sharp voice.

Roan smiled deeply.

Because I found out inside.

However, he soon stopped complaining.

'What are you talking about? I never doubted it.'

Then he looked at Bernard, Harrison and other commanders as if to look at him.

"The rain will surely come."

A confident voice.

Strong expression.

At that, Bernard nods slightly and looks back at the sky.

"If it really rains….."

I felt a slight tremor in my voice.

"The sky must be on our side."

Several people nodded.

Then.

Salang.

A gentle breeze blows beneath your ears.

The wind revealed a little rough temperament.

Cheers.

The flag in the middle of the barracks shivers slightly.

"Huh?"

The commanders, as well as the soldiers in the camp, look around flawlessly.

Now the wind blows violently through the hair.

Plus.

"How can the wind be so humid?"

Baron Andre Mald inadvertently mutters, then opens his eyes wide.

At that moment, I looked up at the sky like everyone had promised.

There was none.

The sky that was shining blue anymore.

There was.

A gray cloud that you couldn't see a single thing.

And...

Tuck.

A drop of water fell on the ball.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

The commanders and soldiers scrub their cheeks and look at Roan.

Unbelievable face.

On the other hand, Roan smiled with a blunt expression.

He slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Thanks to Calian's tears, the raindrops are clearly visible.

"The sky......."

Roan's voice spreads into the camp.

Everyone's gaze was on Roan.

The smile on my mouth became darker.

"He's on our side."

The silence settles.

Everyone looks at Roan with a surprised look.

Roan closes his eyes with a bold expression.

It wasn't to enjoy the rain.

[Don't act cool! You know this is all because of me, right?]

It was the sharp nagging of Kinis.

To Roan, silence was not silence.

But today, Kinis' nagging and bragging was really good to hear.

'Time to start moving.'

The blood boils hot in my body.

* * *

Tofu. Tofu.

One or two drops of rain soon became a thick rain.

A sweet spring rain dampening the parched earth.

However, Cali's gaze at the spring rains was hard.

"Does the true heaven forsake me? '

It reminded me of a young man who talked like a candle at the last military meeting.

Ugh.

I split my teeth by myself.

"You're welcome. Heaven didn't abandon me! '

I didn't want to believe it.

He gestures to summon Demis.

"Bring me the one who made a rash mouth then."

"Ah....... Yes. I understand."

Damith realizes Cali's intentions at once.

Even so, some commanders are now making blasphemous noises about Heaven and God.

Immediately, Demis drags the young officer who made fun of him.

"Izzie! Why are you suddenly like this?"

He looked embarrassed as if he had been dragged here without even knowing it.

I couldn't open my eyes easily because of the rain coming down hard.

Grrr.

Cali draws her sword as she approaches him.

'It's because he made fun of me.'

Heaven never forsook itself.

I wanted to believe that.

That's why I had to draw my sword.

"Huh? Huh?! Oh, Mr. Orwells! Why, why are you doing this....... Turn it off."

The young officer waves his arms and stumbles.

However, I opened my eyes without finishing my words.

Cali's sword slit his throat.

Your head rolls with the sound of blood boiling.

"The price of making fun of your mouth."

Cali kicks a random head with her left foot.

The cold rain washed away the blood from the body.

Gulp.

The nearby commanders swallowed it with a nervous expression.

Cali yells at them with fierce eyes.

"There's nothing to shake! Rain doesn't change anything! Surround the forest and ambush the enemy with fewer waters! Even if there is a large valley space, the line is inevitable to get out of there......."

When the horse goes on like that.

Deng, Deng! Deng, Deng!

The bell rings frantically.

At the same time, one of the guards rushes in.

"Gee, that's a flag! Enemy advance! Enemy forces have entered Aslan Valley!"

A loud voice stirs in the camp.

"What?!"

"The Tail Army?!"

"Roan's on the run?!"

The commanders shout in surprise.

Those bastards who haven't moved on a manning operation for two days are suddenly on the move.

Everyone's gaze is on Cali.

Cali takes a deep breath with her eyes closed.

Tofu tofu.

Only the sound of rain is heard.

"Mr. Orwells. Time......."

Demis whispers in an urgent voice.

Finally, Kali opens his eyes and raises his sword, which slashes the neck of the young officer.

"All ahead flank! We'll surround the forest and drive them away!"

Orders have been issued.

"March! Prepare to march!"

"Surround the forest!"

The commanders rush forward, shouting in a loud voice.

I was ready for the raid in no time.

Cali climbs onto the horse and calls out to one of her own.

"Send a flag to Walter."

"Yes, I understand."

After a short run, you run toward the watchtower.

Cali watches for a moment and drives her horse to the entrance of the camp.

Everyone is ready to be perfect.

"All ahead flank!"

Callie didn't hesitate.

As he kicks his horse's belly, he advances towards the Aslan Valley.

Tofu, tofu, tofu!

The hoofbeats and the thunder of the rain resound.

The rain strikes you in the face, but no one hesitates.

They march through the rain.

Thanks to this, the Orwells were able to reach the Forest before the Roan, Tail and Lancefield forces escaped from the Aslan Valley.

"Surround! Ready the archers!"

"Surround! Ready the archers!"

The same order spread to the left and to the right.

Squeeze!

The sound of the protest was loud.

Suddenly, the hoof sounds faint.

The Tail Squad and the Lancefield Squad were clear.

Cali swallows a dry saliva with a flash of her left hand.

The eyes peer through the rainfall, staring into the dark forest.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Along with the sound of the trumpet, you hear a commotion in the woods.

"Fire!"

Cali lowers her left arm, shouting as if she was waiting.

Hundreds of arrows soon flew into the forest, cutting through space.

Bubble, bum, bum!

Some of them were lodged in a tree and some were stirring the space.

"Ahhhh!"

"Aah!"

"Knng!"

You hear a blurry scream.

Jing, Jing! Jing, ding! Bang! Bang!

Jing and drum came from the forest.

Got it!

Cali's face flashes brightly.

He was convinced that Roan and his troops had fallen into chaos.

"Fire! Blow your arrows!"

Cali continues to scream.

In fact, shooting arrows at the forest was not a good tactic.

Because dense trees act as shields.

However, once it was done, it was enough to break the strength of the enemy force and the first man.

"Mr. Orwells!"

"Mr. Orwells!"

The scattered commanders raise their right hands and summon Cali.

This means that the archery attack is ending.

Cali steps forward with her sword drawn.

"Cavalry, infantry!"

"Get in!"

I couldn't wait any longer.

If I defeated the Force and the First Battalion, I would have to push the Tail Army and Lancefield troops out of the valley.

'Even if it is not a fireworks, it is enough.'

Due to the narrow entrance to the valley, even a small force was able to withstand them.

Besides, they won't even know we're there.

As for Roan, he was ambushed and ambushed.

I almost fell into a state of confusion.

Of course, this was also Cali's idea.

"Waaaahhhh!"

"Kill him!"

"Cut Roan's throat!"

Soldiers of the Orwells charge into the forest with a shout.

There are arrows embedded in the trees and the ground.

As you venture further, the arrowheaded shields and soldiers are spread out.

The Tail Army soldiers and their favorite small shield, Parma.

"Yes!"

"Great!"

The Orwelis soldiers spit and kick with excitement.

They push further and further into the forest.

Everyone is looking forward to winning.

Only Demiss frowns in a strange atmosphere.

Isn't there too few bodies? '

It was a surprise attack.

Even though the scruffy trees were shields, too few soldiers were struck by arrows.

Like.

It's like they're preparing to move. '

The eerie feeling wrapped around my whole body.

He drives his horse to quickly report to Cali.

Hmph.

But then I pulled the pin.

'No, if I say it wrong again...'

I might look like a young man who just blew his head off.

He shakes his head, patting his neck for no reason.

Giving up on blasphemy.

Damith instead orders his troops to slow down and then withdraws to the rear.

In order to preserve his own life, even if things happen.

Unfortunately, no one noticed Damith's behavior.

The Orwells, including Cali, simply marched on and on.

And finally.

"Hostiles!"

"Hostiles!"

The same words that had different meanings resounded in the forest.

The oncoming army of Orwells, the Tail Army, and the Lancefield Army have finally met.

"Kill him!"

"Push them!"

Cali squeals and swings her sword.

'There aren't as many troops as I expected!'

Blame it on the entrance to Aslan Valley.

He turns his head to look for Roan.

Soon, Cali's gaze turned inward into the forest.

'Roan, there you are.'

Rrrrgh.

I split my teeth by myself.

The hot gaze led to the other side.

"Whew. You have a lot of hostility."

Quiet voice.

Roan looks directly into Cali's eyes, looking at her through Calian's tears.

I thought I wanted to run and fight right away, but now was not the time.

To achieve a perfect victory, we needed to draw the enemy a little deeper.

"Enough fighting and retreating."

"Yes, I understand."

Bernard and Andre and others answer briefly and then scatter to the four sides.

There were no more doubts on their faces.

I heard about the battle from Roan just before I marched into the Aslan Valley.

Roan takes a deep breath, looking at the scattered commanders.

'Cali Orwells.'

I had a blurry smile on my mouth.

'You're already trapped. That too.......'

A cool light flowed from the edge of my eyes.

"into the trap you set. '

The greatest battle since the start of this territorial war.

It was the beginning of a duel called the Battle of Aslan.
