I am the Monarch

< Chapter 40 Amaranth >

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

"Can we do this?"

"I've been ordered to keep a close watch."

"If anything happens to me like this..."

Those who pressed deep into the thick robe mutter in anxious voices.

Their gaze turned to the top of the beautiful tree.

Unlike the others, a beautiful man who was taking off his robe alone shook his head with a smile.

"Don't worry about it. He's no bigger than I thought."

A confident voice.

A man's skin was white as flour and his ears were much sharper than a normal person's.

All the men sitting on the ashram tree and those deep pressing down on the robes underneath were elves, not humans.

"He's very dangerous and smart. You want me to keep a close watch? Hehe. That's humanly possible."

A somewhat arrogant voice and face.

He smiles brightly, looking south.

Mediah Castle is blurry from afar.

"If anything happens, we can just run and fix it. Don't worry too much. Everyone relax. He must have been tired from months of surveillance."

"But......."

The elves in robes still sound concerned.

The man frowned.

"You don't believe me? Does that Clay guy look that dangerous to you?"

Like a gunshot.

The elves in robes quickly shake their heads.

"No, of course not!"

It was true.

Clay.

I've been monitoring for orders, but I don't seem to be particularly dangerous or cautious.

He certainly showed a good side to the administration of the territory or military supply, but just that level.

No matter what you think, you are not a threat to the walk of Ficis, the queen of the Elves.

Moreover, the Druid's power, which is the most fundamental of Clay's power, is much like that of the Elves.

I don't know about Humans, but when the Elves saw it, Clay was just a little smarter than a normal human.

"Rest well and keep your strength up. It seems the Queen has revealed herself. Soon there will be a great war. We use our power then."

The elves who are robed in the man's words hesitate for a moment, then bow slightly.

I felt uncomfortable about disobeying Ficis' orders, but at the same time, I felt uncomfortable about what might happen.

They turn their heads to the south side of Mediacis Castle and scatter to the depths of the forest.

I plan to rest for a while while, receiving the routine of the forest.

Thanks to this, the tight-knit boundary and surveillance rope become blurry.

Luck as important as skill and skill moved towards Clay.

'Hoo. How did I get here?'

Clay stands at the window of the Oval Office and takes a deep breath.

'At first, I just wanted to bring good people and change the world.......'

A good man.

Of course, it was difficult for someone who was simply good.

I had to have the power and the ability to change the world.

At the same time, he had to recognize, recognize, and treat his abilities appropriately.

'I thought the Lord was worthy of me.'

In fact, Roan was a good person who had the power and ability to change the world, and also had a heart to look after and care for many people.

But only one thing.

'In all these years, I've built so many balls that I've only been monitoring and intercepting…..'

Roan takes all of Clay's position and power and drops it to the bottom.

In the process, Clay felt powerless for the first time with a sense of defeat.

I was ashamed, so I was angry.

My ego is cracked.

The original Clay personality must be treated as well as his own.

He slowly prepares for revenge.

The noble will and teachings of the teacher to spread their power for the world have long been forgotten.

If no one was good enough to serve him, he would go into the mountains and read a book and spend the rest of his life as well.

Clay was blinded by his abilities and talents so he could not see his dreams.

'If there is no one left to serve, I can change the world myself.'

With his or her talents and abilities, he or she will be able to do it.

No, it was possible.

'I'm already ready to fly.'

It was time to slowly flap.

Clay turns around and looks at the men on the other side of the office.

"Duke Webster is dead."

Honestly, when I first heard the news, I was embarrassed.

'Because he was my strong back.'

However, it did not brake the march.

Clay intended to take the unexpected situation to the next level.

"We control the Duke of Webster."

A situation where druids who act like animals are already at the Duke of Webster.

Taking control of the Confused Duke and the Duke wasn't that hard.

"Take this."

Clay sticks out a bunch of chunky paper.

One of the most common-looking men stepped forward and handed over the clubs.

"What is this?"

"Erl Lancefield and the estate he's been secretly disposing of."

In my opinion, I wanted to dispose of Manasik Mine or other businesses, but you were in complete control of Roan.

If I touched it quickly, I could have worn it off.

"We've already cleared this up, so move it carefully to Duke Webster."

The men who were looking at the blobs of paper asked with a worried look.

"This is an enormous amount. Do you think it's possible to smuggle out this amount in secret?"

"Even if we get through the gate, we won't be able to get through the gate."

"Earl Lancefield's gate guards are rumored to be thorough."

Clay smiles blurrily, worrying.

"You already have."

It was a bold but convincing voice.

'Even if the Lord is pure and good.......'

There was no law that said everything would be clean even the underlings.

I feel like I can't even feel myself right now.

Earl Lancefield is currently one of the most powerful forces in the Rhine Kingdom.

Thanks to this, talented people were gathering to fight, but there were even those blind to power, wealth and honor.

Clay attracts and persuades the most talented of them to take his side.

It was very easy and simple.

'You can promise 200 to those who want 100.'

What Roan could never do.

Roan's resourcefulness was poisoned.

Clay, on the other hand, listened to everything he wanted, even if he had the ability.

Thanks to this, he was able to have his own power within Earl Lancefield without knowing it.

"Then we'll step back."

The men quickly left the bureau relieved of Clay's words.

The rest of Clay examined the plans in his head.

Then.

Knock, knock. Knock.

You hear a familiar voice as you knock on the door.

"Administrator Clay. That's Picio."

Clay's brow frowns.

"Why does the Mediahn Peacekeeper, Captain Fizzio, say anything about me? '

A surprise visit.

Did you feel something? '

His strong sixth sense was one of the abilities Clay was wary of.

Clay takes a moment to think and coughs.

"Come in."

There was a faint smile on his face.

Queek.

Soon the door opened and Picio appeared.

His expression was urgent and his face was pale.

Fizzio lowers his head slightly and says in a trembling voice.

"Administrator Clay. Please save me."

* * *

"Princess, we may have to change our destination."

Abel Limos, the patron saint of the Princess Cady Rhines, bowed his head with a grimace.

Cady, who was exhausted by the hard journey, asked with a curious look.

"What do you mean, you have to change destination?"

"Well……"

Abel hesitates for a moment, then replies in a small voice.

"Your Majesty, it appears that you are in Longport Castle, on the western bank of the Grain Mountains, and not Milr."

I just heard that the commander went to a nearby village to buy goods.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Roan has yet to hear that the king attacked Milr and took it down.

"Hmm."

Cady turns her head to look at Fields with a low conscience.

Naturally, Abel and many other knights' gazes turned to Pills as well.

Phil smiles awkwardly, looking at the overwhelming gazes pouring out at him.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"It's a bit..."

Abel does not speak easily.

Pills' destination was still the same as King Mills.

Cady's destination, on the other hand, is now Longport Castle.

It means we can no longer travel together.

But...

'Now we don't know who's the enemy and who's the ally.'

Abel did not have a good understanding of the situation due to limited information.

Simon was the cause of all this, but he still thought the nobles were behind it.

'It's not good. We need Fields.'

Fields' power is equal to or greater than that of a knight.

Even for Cady's safety, I needed him.

But I couldn't force him to accompany me.

"He is neither strong nor powerless, nor is he able to submit to authority and power. '

My mouth was burning.

I just rolled my eyes around, not like this or like that.

Then.

"Can you take me to Longport Castle?"

Cady looks him straight in the eye.

It wasn't the expression or the voice that was pushing me.

Rather, the pathetic and desperate look I had never seen.

Phil shakes his head, smiling.

"No, I don't think so. I need the king to go to Milr."

Decline like a knife.

"Hmm."

Abel and several other knights were moaning in an uncomfortable mood.

I never thought I'd be so desperate to refuse.

Cady looks at Pills without saying anything, then nods slowly.

"Okay, I can't force you. So let's break up here."

"Yes. I'll be going now….."

Phil stoops down and walks away with his luggage.

No hesitation at all.

Cady, Abel and the knights stared back at Pills for a long time.

I felt heavy static.

"Princess, we'd better get going, too."

Abel speaks first.

Cady still nods silently, following Phil's back.

Soon, Cady and the knights moved west, leading Abel.

Destination is Longport Castle.

It was the land of the dead with a dark shadow.

* * *

"It's nearly Infect."

The commander in charge of the battlements points west.

Infec is located to the west of the Rhine Kingdom, with the vast majority of the region being mountainous.

Longport Castle, where Simon is currently uniting forces, is also to the west of Infec.

Leading the Lancefield army, Roan looks over the Infected region on horseback.

As I spit Mana into Calian's tears, it looks as big and clear as if a place far away was right in front of me.

'Hmm.'

Roan's face is slightly distorted.

'Has it already begun…..'

See Infections unfolding before you.

In a word, it was desolate.

The seasons were now passing through the middle of summer.

It is normal for the plants to grow thick and lively.

However, all the trees in Infec have withered and the land remains dark brown.

Even the big and small streams are almost dry.

'Cause of the Legion of Darkness.'

It was the same in my last life.

Simon Awakens as a berserker and starts pouring, creating an army of darkness.

The forces of darkness scattered the energy of death wherever they marched and occupied.

'I didn't know the exact reason in my last life.'

At first, everyone thought it was some kind of dark magic or an undead army using Margie.

However, the forces of darkness had no reaction to the paladins and the priests' powers.

People's expectations have gone wrong.

In the end, the Dark Legion has fallen into the maze.

But in this life, it was different.

Roan was able to pinpoint their identity.

Thanks to the memory of the shamans.

'They are like the undead, but precisely like a band of puppets made of magic.'

The shamans who awakened Simon as a berserker created a puppet army that could be controlled by powerful spells on both the living and the dead.

'Things called shaman dolls.......'

The biggest difference between a shaman doll and an undead is that if the undead destroys that area because of the energy of death itself, the shaman dolls will suck the life out of the surroundings and destroy that area.

The shamanstones have been used to energize the surroundings.

'Fortunately, unlike the undead, once you die, you cannot come back to life until you cast a spell again.'

That is, it is not difficult to deal with unless you are embarrassed and scared.

However.

'The corpses used as shaman dolls.......'

The problem was that they were family and friends of soldiers who had to fight directly against the sword.

In my last life, many soldiers hesitated to admit it and lost their lives to the attacks of shaman dolls.

The shamans resurrected the bodies of those dead soldiers as shaman dolls, and the forces of darkness surged the more they fought.

'Here comes the Monster Squad.'

Not just monsters, but monsters in the more powerful and cruel Grain Mountains.

'It will be a difficult battle in many ways.'

There will be more battles to fight than have ever been fought.

Roan takes a deep breath.

One day, the squadron leader arrived at the beginning of the Infect region.

Heeheeheeheeheehee!

The cavalry, which was leading the troops, stands still.

The horses hesitated to come forward crying for a long time.

It senses the dark energy of death coming from the earth.

'This life is the same. That's why it's been a tough battle.'

Roan strokes the horse's neck with his palm and kicks the horse's belly.

Dagdac. Dagdac.

The soldiers moved their feet, their necks slitting from side to side.

At last, the Lancefield army enters the Infected region.

"Oww! What a creepy feeling......."

"Don't you think I'm rotten?"

"Better take a look at the landscape. This is a completely different world."

The soldiers groan and shudder.

When you cross one boundary, a whole different world unfolds.

Roan raises his fist and stops the march.

Then.

Shhhhhhh!

The dark brown earth rises with a strange sound.

At the same time.

Pussy!

Weapons with dark red scallops rise above the ground.

It was a very strange sight.
