I am the Monarch
< Chapter 40 Amaranth >
------------------------------------
The siege of Ian Phillips and the King of Phillips against Mills.
The invasion of Mill was the first battle the two of them fought together.
Since the battle, Ian and Fields have grown into two axes that support the realm.
'At that time I.......'
At that time, it was captured by the Eastern Army commander, Zack Benjamin Doyle, who was still rolling the battlefield with a terminal spear.
Fortunately, Benjamin was also involved in the invasion of Mill to impress the then-king of Column Lines.
Thanks to this, Roan was able to join the invasion as a terminal spearer.
Pavat!
Roan flies away, tucked beneath the wall.
Shinyoung is cleared with the sound of the wind.
Extremely fast.
At a distance, you can see the opening of Mill Castle.
'The prince of Delf Bleak, who also guards Milr, is an excellent merchant.'
Even in the last life, the king could not defeat Milr in the usual way.
Meanwhile, Simon expanded his forces around Longport Castle.
The situation is frustrating and unfortunate as a column.
At that time, Ian Phillips, the genius who explored all the libraries and libraries in the palace and the warden of Remarks, visited Column.
He revealed that one secret was hidden in the royal family crest and the parrot.
Ian also learned from his memoirs.
The royal family crest hides the location of the secret passageway through which the king can sneak in and out of Milr Castle, and the parrot is the key to safely passing through the secret passageway.
The fact that I didn't even know the column that just ascended to the throne.
'But finding out didn't give us a sharp number.'
Because there was only one person with access to the secret passageway.
At that time, the nobles who followed the columns and columns pushed Ian away, saying, "What good is it for the king to enter Milr through a secret passageway?"
At that time, it was Fields who Ian confidently recommended.
'Pills said he could enter alone through a secret passageway and slaughter the enemy and open the gates.'
Ian was sure.
No, Ian was convinced.
The columns and the nobles shook their heads, saying it was absolutely impossible.
But there was no other alternative anyway, and if anything went wrong, it was his life that was all that was lost.
At the time, Fields was just a deputy of the civilian army.
Judgment that the losses incurred when they failed are not great.
Eventually, the column decided to follow Ian's will.
Ian immediately showed Pills the entrance to the secret passageway and asked him for a difficult task. After accepting the invitation, the king himself found the wall to the west of Mills.
In the meantime, Ian uses a large and small unit to draw attention from Delf and his elite squad, Pator.
'Ian captured Delf's attention with only a handful of troop operations, while Fields entered the castle through a secret passageway.'
After that, of course, we slaughtered the enemy and opened the gates of the city which were firmly closed, according to Ian's faith.
It may seem simple, but it's an incredibly dangerous operation.
Maybe it was Ian and Fields, so it was a possible tactic.
Besides...
'Pills had a soup.'
Thanks to this, he was able to pass through the secret passageway without any problem except for the trap, which was not the last trap.
But...
'I don't have a soup bird.'
Roan grips his teeth.
Because of this, he was forced to break through the traps in the secret passageway.
Things are much worse than what Phil went through in his last life.
Nevertheless, he did not hesitate or fear.
No, I didn't hesitate or be afraid.
'The longer we wait, the more innocent people lose their lives.'
I couldn't save everyone, but I wanted to save as many people as possible.
Ta-ah!
Roan pulls Mana up and crashes harder into the ground.
As you examine the wall with Calian's tears, you see a very fine gap below the wall that extends straight through.
It was a very small gap that would never have been found if it weren't for Roan.
'This is exactly where the report said it would be.'
One of the reasons why Roan had to do this mission himself.
It's because Roan read a report on a secret passageway that Fields wrote in his last life.
I didn't expect that struggling to succeed in any way would be so much help.
Roan flies toward the entrance of the secret passageway, keeping an eye on the soldiers guarding the western gate.
As I read in the report, I felt a short vibration underneath my feet as I pressed on the bricks of the wall quickly.
At the same time.
Grrrrrrr.
Some of the walls that were firmly stacked in front of me popped forward and slightly flared to the left and to the right.
Finally, a secret passageway through which even the king could enter Mill was revealed.
The entrance is narrow enough for Roan to twist into himself.
Gulp.
The drowsiness has passed.
The entrance is pitch black, but Kalian's tears don't give me any trouble measuring ahead.
'Let's go.'
Roan grips his teeth and walks inside the entrance.
Grrrrrrr.
At the same time, the walls were re-engaged and returned to their original shape.
The wall is still high and steady, as if nothing had happened.
* * *
"Is that true?"
"Yes, the merchants are definitely coming and going, saying the same thing."
A rotten young knight nods, spreading the rumor I just heard.
Abel Limos, the captain of Princess Cady Rhines' escort knights, frowned.
"Duke Bradley Webster and the supreme aristocrats united to create a plot?"
My voice grew louder.
"Yes, but His Majesty has identified the plot in advance and taken all the people involved and decapitated them."
The article reported the same thing again.
"Hmm."
Abel shakes his head with a low drool.
The king also happened in Mill.
I was confused in my head.
"Reverse hair? Is that true?" '
Reverse hairs were not an easy thing to happen.
Besides, Simon's great-grandfather, Duke Bradley Webster, set us up.
It was an unbelievable story.
But on the other hand, I also felt a crack in the chest.
I feel like one question I've been messing with in my head has been cleared.
'Then is it possible that the Grand Duke of Page was targeting Princess Cady......?'
It was most likely part of the reverse hatchling.
Abel clenches his fist.
'If the rumors are true, the king should be more careful before he arrives in Mill.'
We don't know which noble betrayed Simon.
If I surrendered quickly, I could be a hostage.
I was deeply troubled.
Then.
"What's going on?"
Cady slowly approaches, relaxing in one of the vacancies.
She was also a wreck from a long and arduous journey, but her clear halves and clear, clean, deep eyes were still beautiful.
"Oh, I see..."
Abel hesitated, not easily answering.
I was worried that Cady would be greatly shocked.
At that time, the bush beside me was widespread, and Pills appeared.
He smiles glancingly, wrapped in a bunch of big and small trees for firewood.
"Tell me the truth. She's much stronger than I thought."
Phil winked at one eye as he sought firewood and overheard the conversation.
Quite puzzled.
It was never found in the old Pills.
Neither did I, nor anyone else, notice, but it was purely the work of a rail baker.
By the way, where did Rail Baker, the so-called greatest freshman in the kingdom before Phil, disappear to?
It was also a matter of keeping an eye on it.
"Hmm."
Abel frowns slightly and coughs.
Phil shrugs, his face still intact.
There was a strange static.
"Abel."
It was Cady who spoke first.
She stands still and looks at Abel with her arms folded.
It means don't hide what you know. Tell me everything.
'Whew.'
Abel sighs briefly and opens his mouth with a look of helplessness.
"The scouts collected this information. Now in King's Mill….."
He details the unbelievable stories that had been going on between Simon and Bradley for a while.
Of course, they didn't know it was completely fabricated information.
After hearing Abel's story, Cady grimaces his teeth with a stiff look.
However, he did not make a commotion by swarms or screaming.
She was stronger than I thought, just like Pills said.
After organizing complex thoughts in her head, she looks at Abel.
"Your Majesty, is your brother okay?"
"Yes, at least rumor has it you're safe."
Abel nods.
Cady turns her head with a short sigh.
Her gaze turned to Pills.
"Will the king be going to Mills?"
That's a lot of questions.
Phil nods, smiling blurrily.
"Of course. I heard Earl Lancefield and the king are near Mill."
That was also the rumor that the knights had heard.
Then we didn't have to go to Lancefield in the northeast.
"Thank you."
Cady bows slightly.
Abel and the knights beside him look surprised.
"The princess bowed her head! '
It was surprising to be respected by ordinary people, but it was also shocking to see me just now.
It was too different from what she knew.
Phil sets down his firewood and opens his base.
"The king also wanted to go to Milah....... but that's great."
"It's a beautiful place."
Cady said in a soft voice.
Phil nods.
"I hope so now."
Cady's expression darkens slightly.
The two of them gazed at each other silently for a while.
Fields and Cady's eyes said the same thing.
'Please be safe.'
Of course, the target was different from each other.
And the results were different.
Unfortunately, the king was no longer as beautiful as the breeze of two millers.
* * *
Idiot!
Incredible corrosiveness.
It was never the sound of a common arrow tearing through space.
"Suck!"
Roan grips his teeth and quickly twists.
You can clearly see dozens of flying spears flying from afar through Calian's tears.
Pa, Pa, Pa! Pa!
Roan closest to a flying spear, but completely avoiding it.
You make every effort to cast out the inevitable with Trabias' short spear.
Cough! Cough!
A flame strikes with the sound of iron.
Ta-ah!
After gently dodging the last spear, Roan quickly plunges into the ground.
You quickly step on the rocks protruding from the inside of the wall and step into the passageway.
"Whew."
After landing gently, Roan sighs for a short time.
Turning back, there were dozens of skyscrapers embedded in the ceiling and floor, as well as the left and right walls.
It was all that Roan had just dodged or kicked out.
"It's already the tenth trap….."
Roan shakes his head, smiling bitterly.
The secret passageway is filled with star-spangled traps.
All the traps that would have made it if it had been a soup bird.
Fortunately, Roan has Calian's tears and Brant's ring.
Most of these traps were miraculous, and this sudden attack was fully apprehended by Calian's tears.
Thanks to this, Roan was able to easily cope and react.
Using the navigation magic and blinking magic on Brant's ring, you were able to overcome a number of dangerous situations.
Prior to that, of course, the two Mana and Raid laws, tens and hundreds of spears, Kinis, a candidate for the Spirit of Water, and the newly learned spells, were greatly helpful.
Over the years, after many battles, wars and battles, Roan has become quite versatile without even knowing it.
"After ten traps……"
Roan stumbles upon the memory in his head.
The memories of the past that have been cleared up since the shaman's mental attack have been blurred out.
"Hmm."
Roan's face hardens.
"Finally, it's their turn."
Phil's report I read in my last life.
The most common part of it.
It was their turn to show up, not a trap at the end of the secret passageway.
"Guardians of Steel......."
Three, no, three guardians.
They were the guardians of the secret passageway with their whole bodies made of steel.
Unlike the other traps, they responded only to the Rhine royal bloodline, not to the noodles.
Thanks to you, Fields had no choice but to deal with the Iron Guardians in order to get through the secret passageway.
'Even that Fields was pretty hard to beat.'
Of course, Pills at that time was not an enormous spear to be called a new one.
Nevertheless, he had already surpassed the rail bakers and had the best in the kingdom.
'That Pills had a hard time.......'
The Pokémon is not the target to be cared for.
Roan takes a deep breath and takes a walk.
A long walk down the narrow passageway reveals a solid iron gate.
You pull Mana up to gauge the inner trajectory, but you feel nothing.
But...
'That's creepy.'
After building up my powers to master magic, I developed a very developed sixth sense that often speaks.
Roan can feel the guards inside the iron gate.
'There is no time to hesitate.'
He grips his teeth and grabs the handle of the iron gate.
I didn't have time to wait.
The Lancefield forces, including Austin, were taking Delf's gaze, but they didn't know when they were going to be exposed.
Before that, the king had to enter through a secret passageway.
Heave-ho! Grrr.
The iron door opens gently as you pull the lever.
At that moment, a wide sinus appeared in the dark.
Of course, Roan was able to see the interior of the sinuses in daylight thanks to Calian's tears.
"This……"
Roan steps into the sinus cavity and smiles bitterly.
"It's scarier than I thought."
The laughter poured out.
On the left and right sides of the sinus wall and on the front was a massive iron wall.
Knight holding a longsword at the front.
The window holding the left side of the window.
The right side is the crumb holding the axe.
The height of the iron bars was about twice that of Roan.
Three gigantic iron bars.
These were the Guardians guarding the secret passageway.
'I wish I could stay like this.'
Roan shakes his head with a blurry smile.
'No way.'
You instinctively grip Travis' spear tightly.
At that moment.
Flash!
A blue glow flashes from the Guardians' eyes on all sides.
It reminded me of the horrors of hell.
Roan's mouth rises as he looks up.
Manga's insides rumble into Travis' spear.
Grrrrrrrrr.
At the same time, the Guardians' bodies tremble.
Stupid!
With a loud bang, their giant feet fell off the ground.
Bang!
With a heavy voice, the guardians on the wall come forward one step.
Extremely.
The Knight Guardian at the front points to Roan with a giant steel sword.
"Sting. Mouth. Come on. F. Dan. Hah. C. C."
A strange voice like scratching iron.
As Roan takes a deep breath, he points to the Knight Guardian with Travis' spear.
"Shut up. If everyone's awake, let's get started."
Bloop!
A flame rises through Travis' spear.
"I'm a little busy."
A lightly tapped horse.
At the same time, Roan crashes the ground.
Pa!
His new brother leads to the Knight Guardian, who is guarding the front.
Uahhhhhh!
Travis' spear slashes the Knight Guardian's sword as it slits through the space.
Puang!
The flames blaze through the Guardian.
That's gross!
With an iron screech, Travis' spear and knight Guardian's blade twist, interlocking.
"Hehe! What power......."
Roan clenches his teeth and presses down on the spear.
But...
"Turn it off. Lose. D."
The Knight Guardian swings his arm with the readiness.
"Grrrgh!"
Roan tries to pull Mana up, but the Guardian's power is much greater than he thought.
In the end, Roan can't help but bounce back.
Kuaaaaaaang!
I stuck it to the wall with the noise.
Larynx.
The boulder splits open and falls.
"Cough, cough."
With a dry cough, Roan steals the entrance with the back of his hand.
A little blood flashes.
But nothing hurt me more than I thought.
"You sure are strong."
Fields' report was accurate.
Roan twists his whole body, smiling bitterly.
Larynx.
Once more, as the stones fall, Roan protrudes forward, stuck inside the wall.
He turns his neck and grabs Travis' spear tightly.
"But it's not enough to stop a fight."
Besides...
"I don't know about you, but there's one who's dealt with you before me."
Roan's jaw twitches once more.
The Mana boils inside you.
"It's hard to believe, but he taught me."
Ta-ah!
Roan lunges for the Knight Guardian again.
A massive surge of energy erupts.
"Your weakness!!!"
Travis' spear bends at the curve and divides the space.
It was true.
Fields' report.
There were definitely three Guardian weaknesses.
Boom!
Along with the noise, Roan's spear and the Guardian's sword clash.
Huge flames and flames bounce off the sides.
With all his might, Roan presses down on the spear and smiles bitterly.
"Of course, it won't be easy to target that weakness."
That was also true.
Because that weakness was in a damn place.
"Ahhhh!"
The sinus cavity is filled with the sound of Roan's struggle.
