I am the Monarch

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

"We've been taken."

Harrison smiles brightly at the open gates.

Roan Lancefield nods silently.

In just three days, Hawken Castle in McGinley, one of the main grain cellars, was taken down.

It was much easier to fight than I feared.

"Clay, you're looking at me too softly. '

Roan was able to get a sense of what was going on.

Clay would have been careless.

'But that's it, too.'

By now, Clay would have been alert and had a new contingency plan in place.

'We need to start preparing for the next step.'

Roan kicks the horse's belly lightly, pulling at the top of the rope.

The dominant horse slowly walked.

Soldiers who were disoriented in the post-war proceedings moved to the left and to the right to take the ordinance.

As you enter the gate, you see the saints rushing out from both sides along the road.

Roan steps down from the horse as usual.

The same is true of the various commanders who followed.

The saints silently gazed at him.

His eyes were as hot as flames.

There was a strange silence.

Roan and the other commanders took a bold step forward.

The plan was to open the grain warehouse and supply depot in the center of the castle, finalize the troop supplies and take care of the saints.

Then.

"Taeil, Commander Taeil!"

"Boat, Earl!"

The voices of young men burst out everywhere.

Roan stops and looks around.

Through the crowd, three young men appeared.

A few Taoists instinctively try to draw their swords.

"It's all right. Stand back."

Soft voice.

The paladins head back to their position with a short nod to Roan's command.

Meanwhile, the young men sat on their knees and bowed their heads.

"We are farmers of Hawken Castle."

Roan nods silently.

The youth continued to say.

"I, too, want to fight for Earl Lancefield!"

"Take me as an army soldier!"

"I'll fight for my life!"

A loud voice struck my ear.

Roan glanced at the young men's faces and slowly walked.

I grabbed my shoulders with my arms and gently raised them up.

"You don't have to kneel like that."

Blurry smile and warm voice.

The young men were impressed and did not lift their heads.

"I appreciate the gesture, but I'll take it. I don't want ordinary people in the battlefield."

Clearly, the number of troops was inferior.

There was no effective way to make up the difference.

At present, two-thirds of the Kingdom of Rhine could immediately replenish an enormous force.

But he didn't want to do as much as the forced conscription.

'Sending people to war who have never held a weapon properly is like asking them to die.'

It was no more than an arrowhead, no less.

Moreover, now was the time of many grains.

If the young men were to be recruited freely, the harvest would be disrupted immediately.

If not, life is poor due to long wars.

I couldn't put him through any more cruel trials.

"We know what you mean too!"

"You're worried about our lives!"

"But this is what we wanted, and we made our own decisions! I'm not asking you to force your hand!"

My voice was as hot as my eyes.

"If it doesn't help you in battle, let me carry a burden!"

"I've been farming my whole life. You can carry as many sacks as you want!"

"You can clear a path, set up a camp! You can do anything!"

It wasn't just the war with the spear.

Roan looks at the young men with a puzzling look.

That's when Harrison, Brian and Phil approached.

"Isn't that hypothetical? Please accept it."

"In fact, the rear reinforcements, in addition to the combat troops, are very lacking."

"Glenn, who stays in the territory, will teach you exactly what you need in a short time."

Glenn has been in charge of the British Army training camp for several years now, cultivating Lancefield soldiers known as the Force.

"Hmm."

Roan is troubled with a low depression.

The young men looked at Roan like that.

A sneak peek of the willingness not to easily retreat.

In the end, Roan had no choice but to step down.

"I can't help it. I accept you."

Scary to the end.

"Whoa!"

"Thank you!"

The young men raised their arms and burst into cheer.

Roan quickly raises his right hand to calm them down.

"You must not die without my command."

"Yes?"

The young men shook their eyes and asked.

Roan spoke behind his back with a serious expression and voice.

"Don't die, but live to see the new world unfold. The world you built and built with your own hands."

"The world we built and built with our own hands......."

The young men blurred their words as they looked at each other.

The hot conscience went up to the end of my neck.

They thought they were nothing.

'That's how we build the world?'

'We, we can do it.'

I felt overwhelmed.

The young men nodded, grabbing both fists.

"I will survive to the end, as commander Taehwan has said!"

A loud voice echoes through the streets.

Then.

"I'll join you!"

"Take me with you!"

Several young men poured out from within the streets among the saints.

That was the beginning.

"I'm too old to join, but please accept this."

"Use this to feed your soldiers."

Those who were old or barren gave up their food and wealth.

"I'm going to sew some clothes on."

"I'll make you some food."

Old and young women argued in front of me.

It was an amazing sight.

Roan and several other commanders all made expressions.

"Bo, don't you usually run away from your troops and troops?"

"Everyone's busy locking their doors when they see the soldiers, right?"

Some of the Taoists shake their heads as if they couldn't be trusted.

Harrison, Brian and Phil chuckle and whisper in a small voice.

"Now people know."

"The Lord's will and sincerity......."

"Though the troops may be inferior, the Lord has gained the support of kingdoms who can't live on anything."

Mind.

At last, Roan gained the hearts of the common people.

Thanks to this, the Roan and Lancefield territories are starting to expand in numbers, supplies, and food over time.

It was all done without coercion or extortion.

Rumors like this spread throughout the Kingdom of the Rhine and to the Kingdom of the North Rhine.

Nonetheless, the people of the North Rhine, who did not like the alliance with the Estonian Empire, began to tremble greatly when they heard the footsteps of Roan and Lancefield.

Clay tried to appease the kingdoms by releasing his wealth late, but as some of the pearls of the Estonian Empire committed evil acts within the kingdom, their complaints began to accumulate gradually and gradually.

Among these, Roan and the Lancefield Territories reorganized their forces and set off once again.

In response, Birch Heather Myers led 30,000 elite troops to Namhae.

Roan versus Heather.

The full battle between the Lancefield Territories and the Rhines Liberation Army was about to begin.

* * *

"What a troublesome fortress."

Austin shakes his head, frowning.

Standing up on a nocturnal hill and looking down, it was not a very large fortress.

"Only if I take this place down can I feel safe….."

The fortress was geographically significant.

Because of this, Roan ordered Austin to take down 3,000 elite troops separately.

"I've heard rumors of the great fortress of Irwin..."

"This place really isn't that easy to take down after actually attacking."

The nearby deputies listened to me.

Austin nods, smiling bitterly.

The Irwin Castle has settled on a cliff and is inaccessible from the outskirts of the southern wall, with all three sides carved into it.

Moreover, the southern wall with the gate was also covered with deep moats and large and small rocks to the left and to the right, preventing many troops from entering.

'The bigger problem is the magic that unfolds around the gate.'

Austin frowns and looks at the gate.

At the gates of Erwin's Castle are the Mana Void Enchantments carved by the wizards of the Rhine Palace over the years.

'When you get close to the gate, the Mana around you and the Mana in your body cannot be used momentarily.'

If you were as good as Roan or Fields, you would have been less influenced by the magic team, but not by the general Taoists.

This was why the Taoists were unable to use their strength in the siege.

'Trouble. Trouble....... "

The agent was able to break through the gate and enter.

'When did the Lord say the enemy will come.......'

Roan promised the army with orders to take Irwin's fortress.

If the enemy had come in the first place, would they have taken down that fortress? '

I was not very confident.

Of course, if we block the southern entrance and open the war on Earth, we can easily take down the fortress.

Since Irwin's fortress was not large, stockpiles and supplies were also not relaxing.

But the problem is that the Lansfield colonies, including Austin, cannot spend much time here in Castle Irwin.

Speed dial.

'We are outnumbered.......'

We had to hurry and take Castle Irwin down and join the mainstay.

'That's frustrating.'

I took a long sigh by myself.

Right then.

"X.O.!"

One of the deputies screams, running from afar.

"Hmm?"

Austin looks at the deputy without thinking, then frowns.

A young man dressed in disguise was following him behind the deputy.

I feel like I don't know where I am.

Austin narrowed his eyes and looked closely at the young man's movements.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a low elasticity flowed out.

The left hem of the garment flutters roughly along the wind.

The young man had no left arm.

'That person.......'

I remembered a face that I had forgotten.

'Walter Orwells. No, Walter.'

The unlucky man who lost an arm and a Manahole to his father, the son of Cali Orwells, who rebelled against Ian Lancefield.

Walter was the man who abandoned the castle called Orwells himself.

'It's been a long time.'

Walter's cover was a few years ago.

He concealed his presence on his way back to the territory after Ronan defeated Earl Jonathan Chase and Cali Orwell and became Earl after Ian Lancefield.

'The Lord said he'd given Walter a new opportunity.'

At the same time, he ordered us not to ask any more questions about Walter until he returned.

'Something has changed.'

Austin glances at Walter as he approaches.

Though he was handsome, he was not the same as before.

'I had lost my left arm and Manahall just before I hid myself…..'

Now that his strength and eyes are fully revived.

No, it seemed more tolerable.

It seemed like a new birth.

"Austin. It's been a long time."

Walter approaches and bows.

"Long time no see."

Austin smiles faintly, holding Walter's hand.

I didn't need a long horse.

They exchanged hot eyes without saying a word for a while.

How long has it been? Walter opens his mouth, gazing closely at Irwin Castle below the hill.

"I'll take care of it from here on out. Talking….."

My eyes sparkled and glowed.

"I'll share it with you inside Erwin's Keep."

"Hmm?"

Austin looks a little surprised.

At first I didn't realize what Walter meant.

However, I felt like I had been hit hard in the back.

"Did the Lord say that the enemy......?"

Instead of answering, Walter smiled and took a step.

Austin reaches out slowly and screams out loud.

"West, the gate is engraved with Mana Void Magic Cube! We can't attack them alone!"

"I'm fine."

Walter continues to move faster and shorter.

"I don't have Mana anyway."

A soft but powerful voice pierced my ears.

Austin frowns.

"Oh, well, then how could you attack….."

The horses could not continue.

Because Walter's already that far away.

Austin and his deputies simply stood by and stared at Walter's back.

"Don't push!"

"It's blocked!"

"Back off!"

A squadron of soldiers, led by the Taoists, fills a narrow passage.

Walter walked between them without wearing his usual armor.

Wood Duck.

You turn your head to the left and to the right, and every time you turn your right arm, you hear a dull sound.

I saw a wide moat and a locked gate in front of me.

The gate was not more rugged than I thought, thanks to the advantages of the terrain and the Mana Void Magic.

Walter smiles brightly at the gate.

At the same time, I grabbed the garment from my chest with my right arm.

Shitty!

The robe was torn apart, revealing a strong torso.

The copper-like torso is covered with rock-hard, firm muscles.

"Hey, what's that?"

"A madman approaching naked!"

The guards at Irwin Fortress find Walter and scream.

"Fire the arrows! Kill him!"

Patrick Coleman, commander of the guard at Irwin Fortress, shouts with his sword raised high.

'Something's not right.'

I felt an unpleasant and uneasy feeling toward the back.

"Take the shot!"

Soon the soldiers fire arrows.

Idiot!

Along with a sharp wave, several arrows flew towards Walter.

Walter takes a deep breath, looking at the arrows above his head.

"Huff!"

An unbelievable moment happened.

Puebuck!

With a dull sound, your torso, which was covered with muscles, begins to burst rapidly.

The shoulders were wider and large muscle masses were attached to one arm and both legs.

Walter raises his right arm overhead.

At the same time, sharp arrows pour down on it.

The arrow radiates a ferocious force as if it were going to pierce Walter.

Bubble, bum, bum!

A terrible burst echoes through the battlefield.

Everyone expected Walter to die.

But...

"Huh?"

"Huff!"

"No way!"

The defenders who shot arrows in the citadel, as well as those around them, and Austin and other officers who were watching the situation on the hill opened their eyes and burst into resilience.

"Whoa, did the arrow bounce off?"

Austin mutters in a dazzled expression.

Unbelievable sights.

Dozens of arrows bounced back and forth without a scratch on the skin, rather than piercing Walter.

Even the majority of arrows are crushed or broken.

Fighting.

Walter turns his head down, his arm covering his head.

A strange smile came to my mouth.

Ugh.

He takes one foot back and lowers himself.

Ta-ah!

At the same time, I rushed to the city gate.

He jumped the moat in no time.

"Me, crazy! What is that monster?"

"Why is Mana's magic not working?" "No! The magic team is working fine!"

"Then what is it? He's mastering such a high level of Mana that he can master the sorcery faction!"

The guards at Irwin Fortress scream in panic.

In the meantime, Walter lands lightly in front of the gate and then strikes the ground again.

Pavat!

He lunges straight for the gate with his body enlarged.

"Ahhhhh!"

A scream from Walter's mouth, close to the monster, erupted.

At the same time, the right arm with the muscles splits the space.

Charging fist hitting the gate.

A fist the size of a normal adult man's head struck the gate.

Kuaaaaang!

There was an enormous explosion.

At the same time.

Bait.

A tightly closed gate starts to tilt backwards, greatly twisting.

One shot.

Walter smashed the gates of Erwin Castle with one blow.

Kugung.

With a heavy voice, the gate falls completely down.

Walter jumps straight up and kicks the pole and rope that were pulling at the bridge.

Kuang!

Once again, a heavy cathedral bridge fell over the moat.

"Ah......."

"Mmmm…"

In the past few days, the Taoists and Lancefield army soldiers who have attacked the Irwin fortress in a frenzy have been frozen and are making no difference.

It was the same for Austin and other commanders as well.

"Well, is that possible?"

Austin asked, but no one answered.

Everyone was half mesmerized.

In the meantime, Walter was the only one who was keeping his head straight.

"Are you all just going to stand there and stare?"

A bad voice.

He raises a big fist over his head and shouts out loud.

"Attack! Let's attack Erwin's Keep!" "

A voice that breaks the static of the battlefield.

Then the soldiers, including the paladins, woke up late.

"Waaaahhhh!"

"Attack! Attack!"

They followed Walter across the open bridge and into Castle Irwin.

Cheonhye's fortress was the moment when Erwin's fortress was attacked.

Austin sighs a long time, watching the situation from the top of the hill.

"Whew."

Both eyes trembled from side to side.

"My lord......."

My voice was also trembling.

"You've got the best fighter in the kingdom, the best fighter on the continent."

At that, several nearby deputies nod.

They didn't even know it, but it revealed the six heroes who would roam the continent with Roan.

Austin, Sammy, Harrison, Brian, Phil, and Walter.

Of course, the person who would lead them to the highest place would be Loran Lansfield.
