I am the Monarch

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

Roan Lancefield was embarrassed.

The view of the town was too different from what he had expected.

Along the fence were a large and small pile of stones and trees, and the villagers, both men and women, were all pouring out into the streets, expressing a nervous expression.

Grabbing things like sickles and plowing together.

Some men even carry weapons like swords and spears.

It looked like soldiers on the verge of a similar battle.

"W-what's going on?"

Roan purposely stutters and barely asks.

At that time, a very young man replied with an open voice.

"We're preparing for an attack by bandits."

"Bandits?"

Roan's eyes widen as if he had never heard such a story before.

The young man nodded, smiling bitterly.

"Nearby, they call themselves the Gabe Bandits. What a bunch of...... scum!"

The voice of anger.

Roan looks a little frightened and urgently says.

"Do they still exist? After the war was over and the kingdom of Amaranth was founded, peace came, didn't it?"

The young man tilted his head.

"Are you sure you're the chopper merchant? You may not know the world's waters, but you don't know it very well."

He was a rear horse with a short sigh.

"The so-called vigilantes emerged after the Amaranth empire was founded. because the kingdom's system is not yet perfect, and we have a lot to take from it."

"So much for stealing……?"

Roan blurs his words behind his back, pretending to know.

The young man nodded.

"They were after the war prize."

"Ah......."

Roan bursts into sheer elasticity.

The young man's words continued.

"My king is so kind, he has rewarded not only the soldiers who fought in the war, but also the people who were harmed during the war. It's like finding the gold vein for the bandits."

I smiled bitterly at his mouth.

It was the same with Roan.

'I never expected that this would happen because of the compensation.'

The taste was bitter.

Policies for the people of the kingdom threatened the lives of the people of the kingdom.

"Moreover, most of those bandits were soldiers in the war."

The young man shakes his head, smiling bitterly.

"Yes?"

Roan looks surprised.

The young man said in a bold voice, "What are you so surprised about?"

"There are often people like that. Those who can't forget the war and crave blood......."

"Ah......."

Roan sighs.

He understood the meaning of the young man at once.

I knew there were more soldiers in the frenzy of war than I thought, as I've spent decades on the battlefield in my past life and this entire life.

Roan glances around without any fuss.

"Have you reported to the Lord of this region? Or did you call the Royal Army for help?"

Scary to the end.

"Heh. Lord?"

"What is the Royal Army......."

Laughter erupted from everywhere.

It was a self-mixed laugh.

Roan's eyes widen as if to ask why.

The young man smiled bitterly and replied with a small voice.

"Our lord is in the Royal Kingdom because he wants to be well seen by the highest ranks, so he has no interest in the affairs of the territory. The Imperial Guard is distracted because it's not quite in place yet and is focused on defending its borders. There are patrols in charge around here, but you seem to be busy too. I've asked you several times, but you're not responding very well."

It was literally a total disaster.

"I can't believe how messed up this is….."

When the king saw only Mediacis and the surrounding area, it seemed that the country had recovered its stability.

However, the lives of the real kingdoms were no different than before the Amaranth Kingdom.

Rather, bigger problems have arisen as the kingdom of Rhine is destroyed and the kingdom of Amaranth is built.

It's different.

"We have a good monarch, but our lives are no different than before. Right?"

The young man smiled helplessly and asked Roan again.

Roan smiles bitterly, without hesitating.

I didn't have anything to say, even with my mouth.

Then.

"Magt. When did we live with the help of the elders? We were on our own."

"Yes, yes. Let's take out the Gabe Bandits or the Bandits!"

"We're not ordinary peasants, either! It's all the bodies that blew up in the succession war and the Amaranth War!"

"Ehey. The only real fight is over there. We just flew out the back."

"Ahem. Ahem. Do we really have to dig up the truth so honestly? Huh?"

There was a commotion.

Roan, who was listening quietly, looked a little surprised at the villagers, the young man, and Matt.

"Were you a veteran?"

Veteran.

It was an honorable title given to soldiers by the kingdoms of Amaranth and Roan who fought together in the succession war and the war for Amaranth.

He said, "Well, the warrior was just a terminal soldier."

Matt shakes his head, smiling shyly.

The villagers are in a commotion.

"Huh! Even if it's temporary, the White Captain shouldn't say that."

"Well, well. You're the pride of our village of Ush."

"You cut off the neck of an enemy deputy during the war against the Kingdom of the North Lines."

The voices grew louder.

He swiftly strokes his hand.

"Stop it, guys. Stop."

Still smiling shyly.

Roan looks a little surprised.

'Even the White Captain......?'

It means he was quite a soldier after all.

Roan smiles heavily and raises his thumb.

"The White Captain is a deputy, right? Why didn't you stay in the military?"

He replied without hesitation.

"I'm a farmer."

Fair and fair looks and voices.

"I only joined because my country is in danger. I don't want to be a soldier. Plus….."

Matt glances around the villagers with a smile.

"If good treatment makes everyone a soldier, who will build farms, catch fish, make clothes, and build houses? Doing your best in your place....... is also protecting your country."

"Hmm."

Roan spills a low tear.

It was amazing.

I was impressed.

Matt's words were unquestionable advice and advice.

He realizes once again.

'I and my neighbours did not build a country because they excelled.'

My eyes sparkled and glowed.

'The people of this kingdom were able to establish a country because they were silent and did their part.'

I gripped my teeth.

The people of these kingdoms had to protect and care for their lives and their homes.

That was what Roan, the Kingdom of Amaranth, had to do.

Right then.

"Dammit! They're coming! Bandits!"

An urgent voice comes from the small watchtower.

The atmosphere that was warm for a while sank cold.

"To your positions!"

Matt gives the order in a loud voice and then looks at Roan.

"Inside the village is a shelter where elderly people and children hide. Stay away from that side."

After finishing his speech, he quickly climbs over the watchtower.

Roan stands still and looks around.

The men chose their breaths close to the fence.

The women also took their seats behind them with sickles and plowshares.

I felt tense.

Roan is heartbroken.

I didn't set up my country to see this.

The grieving heart soon led to anger toward the bandits.

'Good job on your sneaking around.'

He moves slowly.

The direction was toward the entrance, not inside the town.

"I'll borrow it for a moment."

Roan snatches a window from you.

"Huh? What, what are you doing?"

The owner of the window yells sharply, waving his bare hands.

Instead of answering, Roan opens a tightly closed door and leaves town.

"Huh?! Huh?!"

"Well, well!"

The people of Uus scream in a big panic.

Magt, who was watching the situation on the watchtower, was also embarrassed.

But he was even more surprised because.

'You opened the door lightly, barricaded by logs and rubble?'

It was hard to understand.

Meanwhile, Roan takes a bumpy walk and stands outside the town entrance.

Two or two!

With the sound of horseshoes, the Gabe bandits, or bandits, were rushing in.

'The number is approximately 200. Besides, they're all riding horses.'

Weapons and armor were also excellent for the bandits.

'Most of them, of course, were in the war.'

I could tell right away.

Roan grips his spear tightly.

You cannot use Travis' spear as long as you have to hide your identity.

No, you didn't have to use Trabias Spear against those bandits in the first place.

"Hahahaha! Who the hell is that?!"

Gabe, the leader of the Gabe Bandits, yells as he kicks the horse.

"Looks like you're defending the village all by yourself."

"You must be crazy! You think you can handle us all by yourself!"

"Hahahaha! But this town could be a little more fun than anywhere else!"

A photon shop exploded from everywhere.

Gabe quickly shakes his right hand.

"Somebody go cut that maniac's head off!"

Two flying horsemen protrude from both sides, terrified to the end.

Two or two!

The hoof sounds more chaotic.

The distance between Roan and the two horsemen is narrowed.

"Die!"

"Die, you bastard!"

Two cavalry men whip their swords and sigh.

Roan remains motionless with his spear in his hand.

"Dammit! I can't shoot arrows!"

Matt bit his lower lip tightly.

If you shoot the arrow carelessly, you could hit Roan.

The villagers all sigh a long sigh with a sad expression.

Right then.

Flash!

A beam of light flashes in front of Roan.

It reminded me of a similar lightning bolt.

The light travels across the space, sweeping through the two horsemen.

"Huh?!"

"Hmm?"

The two cavalry opened their eyes wide with a terrifying aura that penetrated through their entire bodies.

In front of me, I can see Roan still standing with a bold look on his face.

And that became the last scene the two horsemen saw on this road.

Pussy!

Along with a terrifying sound, the two horsemen and the horse they were riding split into two halves.

Perfect blow without even a drop of blood.

Kugu Palace.

Their bodies rolled into the ground.

"Huff!"

"Huh!"

"No way......."

The villagers who were expecting Roan to die opened their eyes wide.

Surprise.

It was the same with Gabe and other thieves as well.

"What?!"

"Did Mick and Campbell get decapitated in one blow?"

"I broke it off all at once!"

"Hey, what's that guy?!"

Surprised look and voice.

Gabe frowns.

"Dammit! They must have brought a mercenary cub from somewhere!"

I failed to make the right decision because of my anger.

Such a level of mercenary was never uncommon.

He chews the tip of his tongue and pulls out a longsword.

"Attack! Attack! Stick together and kill that maniac!"

Orders have been issued.

"Kill him!"

"Show me the power of the Gabe Bandit!"

"Cocky bastards! Once you kill the mercenaries, the villagers will be next!"

"Charge!"

Bad words spill out.

Two or two!

The clanging hooves of the earth.

Nearly 200 bandits rush towards Roan.

"Ah......."

"Oh, no."

"Get out of here! Come on!"

"Come into town!"

The people of Uus scream at Roan.

This time, I thought that it wouldn't be easy for Roan either.

Instead, Roan rushes towards the bandits, striking the ground.

Pavat!

It was so fast that it was hard to catch up with the eyes.

The bandits snore as they see Roan running towards them.

"You crazy bastard!"

"Die!"

A loud roar.

Roan shakes his head with a blurry smile.

"Dying is......."

The window pointing to the floor split the space.

"You are."

At that moment, dozens and hundreds of flashes of light appeared in front of Roan.

Squeak, squeak! Squeak, squeak!

A beam of light and a creepy sound.

Roan runs through the bandits as if he were dancing.

Spot!

Along with the last beam of light, Roan and the bandits were relocated.

They passed through each other and switched seats.

Roan is a little further from Ush and the bandits are standing at the entrance to Ush Village.

The situation with each other facing each other.

A strange static settles down.

Breaking the silence was Gabe who did not charge alone.

"You crazy bastards! What are you doing in there?"

He yells at the whale with an urgent look.

Because I had Roan right in front of me.

Similarly, Magt, who was watching the situation on the watchtower, shouted at the bandits as they passed by Roan and arrived at the entrance to the town.

"I'm ready for battle!"

"State, state, prepare!"

The villagers raised their weapons high.

Right then.

Pussy!

Along with a strange sound, red incontinence is drawn along the bandits' bodies and armies.

At the same time.

Kuku Ball Bow.

Nearly 200 bandits split into two halves and fell to the ground.

The same goes for the horses.

Like the two thieves who had been killed by Roan before, the other thieves fell without a drop of blood.

"Ugh, ugh!"

"Cough!"

Some villagers, who were nervous and staring at the bandits, vomit.

"No way......."

Mat simply shakes his head in a dazzled expression.

I couldn't believe the sight that was happening in front of my eyes.

It was the same with Gabe.

"Wha, wha, wha..."

He stammers loudly.

My eyes and my whole body trembled.

Powerful henchmen, who used to act like hand and foot, suddenly became corpses.

'We must flee!'

There was only one thought that ruled my mind.

Gabe pulls fast.

Heeheeheeheeheehee!

The horse turns its head in tears.

Two, two, two!

The hoofbeats urgently.

Gabe really ran away with all his might.

Roan glances back at Gabe like that.

Somehow he didn't go after her.

No, I wasn't chasing him.

Chasing Gabe was someone else's mission.

"Whew."

After a long exhale, Roan takes a step back towards Uus.

After the piles of bandits' corpses, you reach the entrance to the town.

Gulp.

All the villagers, including Makt, swallowed dry water.

The eyes of people were very complex with many emotions.

The most vivid emotion was fear.

When they saw Roan, they felt pure terror.

'It's a perfectly natural reaction.'

Roan nods, smiling bluntly.

It was goodbye.

Then he turns around and walks in the direction Gabe ran away from.

About ten paces away.

"Hey, there!"

With an urgent voice, Matt rushes in.

He pushes out a bag that is only a torso.

"I brought you some food."

"Oh, thank you."

Roan smiles bluntly and receives a pouch.

It was a pretty heavy bag.

He stands still, staring at Roan, and then leans down.

"Go, thank you!"

A resounding voice.

"The villagers are grateful, too. Feel free to stay as long as you like."

I meant it.

It is true that I was afraid of Roan's absence.

But soon I realized that the village and family could be saved.

I can feel the villagers' movements along the fence and the watchtower.

They were really naive and good people.

Roan shakes his head slowly.

"No, I just have something to do. Thank you for your attention."

"Ah......."

Matt bursts a low sigh as if regretting.

"Do you think I could get a name?"

He asked very carefully.

Roan ponders for a moment and replies briefly.

"My name is Roel."

Roel.

It's a name I just made up with Roan and Ali.

It was a pretty good name, by the way.

"Maybe we should write it down as a child later? '

While thinking useless thoughts, Magt bows once again.

"I will never forget the name of the mercenary."

In response, Roan nods, smiling and smiling.

"I'll never forget it, either."

"Yes? What......?"

Matt tilts his head and asks.

Roan smiles instead of answering.

The two of them said goodbye to each other again.

Matt returns to town, and Roan takes a step in the direction Gabe escapes with a bag of food.

He was going to finish the job clean.

As usual.

And like Roan Lancefield.
