I am the Monarch

< Chapter 40 Amaranth >

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

Roan Lancefield had never met the writer of Heath Porter.

But that didn't mean that we didn't have a relationship at all.

'Because I had the Flemish Mana that Heath Porter should have...'

It was Heath who discovered and acquired Raid's Flamingo Mana in his last life.

Of course, as soon as he got his hands on it, he was discovered by Duke Edwin Boissa and lost his life.

'Anyway, it was originally his, so I wanted to help in some way.'

It was the same reason I recommended him to the Eastern Army Commander after I took Brandt's ring instead of Aaron Tate.

In the meantime, I received intelligence that Column Lines was attempting to adopt the southern part of the Rhine kingdom, including the Order of Porter, as part of his alliance with Lucan Dies.

Roan immediately sent Swift to Heath to inform him of this.

Heath, who was following the column, did not believe what Roan said, but later, when the column and Lucan actually handed over the order to Porter as he wished, he was greatly discouraged.

Roan does not miss the opportunity.

You convinced Heath with the help of Swift, the moonlighter.

If he followed his lead to the end of the Three Kingdoms War, he promised to pay a great reward for not only the preservation of the original order, but also for non-public purposes.

Heath grips Roan's hand after much thought.

The land that had been inhabited for generations could not be taken away in an instant.

"Birdie Porter! Thank you!"

Roan calls out in a loud voice as he breaks through the Kallu Allied Forces.

Similarly, Heath smiles faintly as he confronts the enemy soldiers.

"Forgive me for not following you from the beginning!"

If I had made a decision once, I would never look back.

Roan smiles bluntly and kicks the horse in the stomach.

It was time to focus on the battle, not the discourse.

Pavat!

Roan's left hand moves rapidly, relaying a beep.

Pow, pow, pow! Boom!

The horn rings strangely and the small flags move dizzily.

Immediately, Lancefield battalion breaks through the Kallu alliance as the line of fire grows long.

Kalu's Confederate Army lieutenants are already in chaos. Once the resistance has changed, they collapse.

The 5,000 reinforcements, which ran behind the thick formation, appeared.

"Yikes……!"

A confident and joyful victory, the column frowns upon Lt. Col. Lancefield's face as it spills out before his eyes.

"What the hell is going on here?" '

I couldn't understand what was happening in front of me.

"Betrayal!"

The shivering eyes follow Heath.

Heath Porter's betrayal.

It was completely unexpected.

Heath Porter was one of his trusted associates.

Is it because you decided to hand over the Prince Porter to Lucan? '

That was all I could think about right now.

'But if I unify the kingdom, the king, who is not on the defensive side, has agreed to provide a Yellow Masked Land nearby.......'

It was a very attractive condition

At that time, Heath was very pleased and once again pledged absolute loyalty.

"That was all an act? '

The column's face darkened.

In spite of complex ideas, Lancefield's army, led by Roan, was on the verge of a close encounter.

Damn it!

The scorn filled the tip of my tongue.

The urgent gaze sweeps across the battlefield.

"Fight back"? '

My judgment did not stand.

The Kalu Alliance still outnumber the troops.

However, the entire military, the entire military, was in a state of confusion and was unable to do its part.

Above all.

"I don't know how many of them betrayed me. '

The battlefield is so vast that Heath's allies are splitting into two groups, rushing from the right and rear of Lancefield.

Once on the right, it was clear that Baron Porter had betrayed him.

The troops behind Lancefield's forces, on the other hand, were uncertain whether or not they had been betrayed.

'You can't just make positive judgments in a situation like this.'

Situations that could put your life at risk.

It was beneficial to think of the worst case.

'Let's assume the entire alliance has been betrayed. If that's the case.......'

There was no chance of winning at the moment.

The column gripped it.

The fury rises, but I can't help it.

There were still reserves in the main camp.

Moreover, there was also the SS royal army of the left army that had been victorious again and again.

'Stand back and reorganize.'

The traitor was bitter, but it wasn't hard enough to think of giving up.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

The column quickly gives the order and turns the horse around.

"Retreat!"

Major commanders followed suit.

The 5,000 reinforcements, who were in good spirits, quickly started to retreat.

Roan and Lancefield's troops have also accelerated their charge speed.

Along with that, Kalu Alliance allies who were chasing after him also sped up.

Two or two!

After the chase, another bizarre pursuit takes place.

The column and reinforcements' retreat led to the main camp at the foot of Mt. Miel.

'Dammit! I'm worried about the pursuit.'

The column frowned.

The progress of Lt. Roan and Lancefield was disturbing.

The long diagonal chaser makes a subtle detour.

You can run straight, but the horse's head shifts slightly east.

Of course, it did not make a big difference in retreat.

'I still don't feel right.......'

An unpleasant energy flowed through my back head.

I feel like I'm forgetting something important.

Two or two!

The hoofbeats you in the ear.

The column shakes its head as if trying to blow away complex ideas.

A Kallu coalition reinforcement forces rush through the hills and into the hills.

Roan and Lancefield's troops have also accelerated in pursuit, but the distance is rarely narrowed.

Right then.

Ugh.

Roan raises his left hand over his head.

Harrison, who followed as if he was waiting for a moment, shoots an arrow up at the sky.

Peek-a-boo!

A sharp sound echoes through the battlefield.

It was effective.

At the same time.

Phew! Phew!

The battlefield is filled with the sound of a unique Lancefield horn.

The amazing thing is that the sound was heard from the front, not the rear.

"Hmm?"

The column felt like all the hairs on the body were frozen.

I can't breathe.

The sound of the trumpet is heard from beyond the hills ahead of you.

An uneasy gaze leads to the end of the hill.

At that moment.

"Waaaahhhh!"

Troops and troops rise from the hills with a huge shout.

< Tail Corps. >

< Fides Squad. >

It was Fides' army, led by Lancefield's Legion, known to have been destroyed.

The commander leading the troops was Austin, who had not been seen throughout the battle.

"I've waited a long time. Prince Column."

Austin smiles faintly and raises his longsword.

"Charge!"

"Charge! Whoa!"

Fides' forces, led by Austin, rush up the hill toward Column in fear of command.

A situation where retreat lanes become completely blocked.

The column became urgent.

"Break! Break! Return to the Faction with all your might!"

His face was stiff.

"You idiot! '

I beat myself up late.

If Heath Porter had betrayed us, Lancefield would not have fallen! '

The situation was urgent and I was ignoring that part.

"Out of my way!"

Column kicks the horse's belly as he slashes the Fides troops rushing towards him.

The officers, knights, and soldiers surround the column.

"We'll take you!"

"Make way!"

The battle rages.

Squeak, squeak!

A fierce workshop unfolds with a eerie sound.

The reinforcement knights and soldiers were desperate.

I knew that if the column was captured or killed, it would all be over.

A fierce breakthrough ensues.

Thanks to this, the impenetrable siege of the Fides Army has made a momentary gap.

"Break! Break!"

The column and reinforcements did not miss the opportunity.

Two or two!

The sound of the hoof echoes through the earth, followed by a thunderous breakthrough.

"Stop them! Don't let them get away!"

Austin encouraged in a loud voice, but it was not easy to deal with the knights that the Taoists and ordinary soldiers were trying to kill themselves.

"We're through!"

In the end, Column and some of the soldiers broke through the siege, leading the knights.

The situation is very unfortunate for Austin and Fides, and for the Ronan and Lancefield troops who were chasing after them.

However, for some reason, Roan and many of the commanders had a bold and grim look on their faces.

Roan speeds up his pursuit of reinforcements who couldn't keep up with the column.

"Austin!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Austin, who was leading the troops without going after Column, replied with a resounding voice.

Roan gives a new order as he walks by Austin's side.

"Slaughter the enemy following you with a commando headquarters!"

"Phew!"

Austin replies briefly and sends a distress call to Fides' forces.

For a moment, the paladin and his soldiers turn their horses and run down to the banks of the Parks River.

To deal with the real Kallu alliance allies who were chasing after Roan.

Meanwhile, Roan is in pursuit of Column with only Amaranth and Porter, members of the platoon.

When two different armies crossed and ran in opposite directions, there was no tangle or collision.

That's how well the Lancefield army was trained.

"Dammit! That monster!"

The column grips its teeth as it sees Roan chasing after him.

It was awful.

He wasn't just strong enough.

Roan did not give up on the impossible.

'I will chase you to the end of hell.'

I'm sick of it.

"Knng!"

"Go, go! We'll stop them!"

"Glug!"

Meanwhile, the common soldiers behind Column have fallen one by one in the attack by Roan, Amaranth and the Porter Confederates.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!"

The column poured out insults in succession.

My face turned red.

His gaze naturally turned towards the base of Mt. Myel.

"What the hell is Elba Dionard doing?! We need to get the reserves out and rescue them now!"

There was no reason for the fire to come to Elba.

This time, I looked west.

"Lucan DS. You fool. We don't know what we're dealing with. We're gonna have a hell of an attack."

You feel a twist in your stomach as you think of Lucan, who's about to rise above you.

At that moment, a familiar sound dug into my ears.

Peek-a-boo!

It was effective.

The column quickly looked back.

It was also an arrow fired from the Lancefield army.

Phew! Phew! Phew! Boom!

Once more, you hear the horn in the forward retreat lane.

"Ah......."

The column blew a long sigh.

Lancefield's infantry stands between the forest on the left and the hills.

It was also a Triaron unit from Lancefield's Legion, which was also known to have been destroyed.

"I've been waiting."

Baron, the commander, speaks the same as Austin.

At the same time, I raised my right hand.

"Charge! Take Prince Column!"

"Waaaahhhh!"

A merciless charge has begun as much as the Fides.

"Damn it!"

The column opened its eyes.

All I could do was insult him.

I grabbed him tight and kicked him in the belly.

The horse cries painfully and lands on the ground.

"Break through!"

"Secure the retreat route!"

The knights around you wield their swords, eager to die.

"Huff!"

"Fools! This is the one and only King of the Rhine Kingdom!"

"Die, scumbags!"

The pain and discomfort hit my ear.

"That's your idea!"

"Where is the king without the royal crest or the stamp?"

The soldiers of the Triarón battalion snore and swing their swords and spears.

"Ugh."

"Huff!"

The knights of the column have been dispatched, but not all the soldiers running from all sides can be defeated.

Immediately, a sharp sword and spear pierced his side, chest, arms and legs.

An early warrior at the end of a power outage.

But their deaths were not in vain.

Thanks to the knights' deaths, Column was able to break through the siege once again.

"Pursue! Do not lose the prince!"

Baron screams, wielding his sword.

Then.

"It's okay. Don't overdo it."

Roan shakes his hand as he passes by it.

Baron nods slightly, instead of answering.

Because I already knew what he meant.

Peek-a-boo!

The third verse flew toward the sky as if it had waited.

Phew! Phew! Phew! Boom!

Another majestic trumpet sounds the battlefield.

The column, which barely escaped through the siege, breathed out a long, hollow breath.

"Not again......?"

The column gazed quietly at the rolling hills and Mt. Miel.

Moment.

Paaaahhhh!

Along the foothills and hills, along the foothills of Mt. Miel, a large and small squadron of troops and troops rise.

A procession of endless long flags.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The battlefield is filled with drums that raise the mood.

"Oh no......."

Unbelievable situations, or situations I don't want to believe.

Not to mention the retreat, all the way to the eastern foothills of Mt. Miel, where Kalu's allies originally lived, fell into the hands of the Lancefield army.

We can't go back to the main army camp like this.

"Hnng, the end….."

A grumpy voice came out.

At that time, the nobles, knights, and soldiers who were still guarding the column shouted.

"It's time to give up!"

"On the right, on the right!"

"The west side is still open!"

"Break through and join the SS royal army on the left!"

Words spill out.

The column looked west.

Contrary to the south, east and north, the west had a blunt and hollow perimeter.

Depending on the time, it seemed possible to break through.

"Whew….."

The column exhaled for a long time.

I did not like the look on my face.

"Don't you think you've opened up your path on purpose?"

I smiled bitterly.

"Do you think that great Roan Lancefield left the western siege in vain for no reason?"

It followed a self-help question.

Nobles, knights, and soldiers did not respond easily.

The column glances at their faces, then exhales again for a long time.

"Yes, let's go."

A sharp way of life was engulfed in the eyes of the west.

"Better than sitting around waiting to die."

A voice-over.

The column kicked the horse's belly with a pull.

"We'll take the lead!"

"I'll clear a path!"

Knights and soldiers swing their swords ahead of the column.

As the column followed, I looked at it and I suddenly wondered.

'By the way.......'

The gaze rises over the hills and the foothills of Myel toward Lancefield's fleet and troops.

"When did Roan have another army like that......."

It was impossible to understand.

At that moment, Roan, Amaranth and the forces of Zachariah Foster appear in the rear.

Relaxed expressions and attitudes that are not pursued.

The column bites the lower lip tightly.

'You must be laughing at me by now.'

Unfortunately, the prediction was right.

A blurry smile hangs over Roan's mouth.

'Column lines.'

The bold gaze followed the back of the column.

'Run and run again.'

It was all Roan's will to make a hole for us to escape.

Because there was something I wanted.

His gaze turned to the sky.

Bright sunlight wet both eyes.

'At sunset.......'

A cool light flowed into my eyes.

'Your life will also be lost.'
