I am the Monarch
< Chapter 53 Thrombosis >
------------------------------------
Emergency Summon.
The king has also dropped urgent summons throughout the kingdom from Mediacis.
It was also an urgent summon sealed with a king's seal.
Two, two, two, two!
The small grooves of Mediacis Castle and the main border city lead to a fast race of Levis wagons.
Much faster than a regular wagon.
Moreover, in an emergency, Levis' road is clear.
Thanks to this, all commanders, except the farthest Confederate commander Sammy Impes, were able to reach the Royal City in two days.
Among them, of course, were Eilee Lancefield, Fields Newman and Cathedral Rhine of the Rhine Special District.
Roan waited for Sammy, commander of the Confederate Army, to arrive and held an emergency meeting.
Attendees included local and central military commanders, special forces commanders, Royal Guard commanders, Amaranth drill commanders, Rhine commanders, knight commanders and agencies, and general military, administrative and legislative chiefs in Tenebra.
In short, all the key figures leading the kingdom of Amaranth are gathered.
"I have something to tell you all."
Roan sighs a long time.
Kalian smiles strangely, sitting in a corner of the conference room.
'I wonder how this big, dark reality will react.'
Roan starts a long story, staring straight into the eyes of several of his servants.
Of course, after he died once, he came back to the past, implying that he was living a second, or more accurately, third life.
'Because no one knows.......'
At first, I thought Phil knew all the facts.
But he knew that he had only died once and was brought back to life because of Tempestas.
It was because I felt that Kalian didn't have to tell me everything.
"Something unusual is happening across the continent right now."
Roan was going to stop Latio from making a terrible, terrible plan.
Everyone looks at Roan, swallowing his thirst.
"Latio, the Archbishop of the Tellian Church, is undergoing a terrible ritual to destroy the Middle Ages."
Scary to the end.
"Yes?! Archbishop Latio?"
Executive Secretary Swift Clark asked with a surprised expression.
Unlike other people, he has seen and experienced Latio firsthand.
"Someone so good and decent? Moreover, he is the one whom the king himself has chosen...... '
I couldn't believe it.
Roan nods, smiling bitterly.
"I saw the wrong person."
He quickly admitted his guilt.
I didn't blame anyone.
"Phew."
With a brief sigh, Roan unraveled a huge, ugly truth by properly blending the altars he had found in Blackburn, the altars he had seen in Tempestas, and the terrifying rituals he had seen.
"Yes!"
"How could something so terrible happen!"
"Ah…… the reality of the Church of Tellian……"
Everyone who was listening to the story blushed their faces.
Both eyes reminded me of an unbearable anger, disappointment, and betrayal.
"Why in the world would you do such a horrible thing?"
Austin Fides, commander of the Northern Army and the most noble of the realms, painfully presses down on the boiling anger and cautiously asks.
Roan sighs for a moment.
"Latio lost his parents, relatives and friends to the Royal Family."
He brazenly unraveled the days of Latio's unrest and the atrocities he had experienced.
"Hmm."
Some people burst into low moans.
Obviously, Latio's life was unfortunate.
But it did not make sense to understand what he was trying to do, what he was doing.
"I will locate the altars immediately!"
"If it's installed all over the continent, we'll need to let the other empires and kingdoms know about it and get help."
"Let's get started now!"
The commanders and the knight commanders stand up and shout.
I felt like I was scouring the entire continent right now.
Right then.
"Altars and Sacrifices Across Continents......."
General Ian Phillips frowns and opens his mouth cautiously.
"What the hell is this for?"
Sharp question.
Suddenly, the excited-looking generals shut up.
I realized that Latio had no idea what he was doing with those horrible rituals, but only his temper.
Everyone sits back in a neutral position.
Roan nods, looking at Ian.
"That's a good question."
It was a necessary question.
He glances at her for a moment and lets out a long breath.
"There is a gateway to the Grain Mountains."
At that, many people frowned and tilted their heads.
"The Gate of Alert?"
"What door is that?"
I don't think I've ever heard of him.
Roan cautiously speaks in the back.
"The door to the boundary......."
Gulp.
Everyone swallowed the drought.
"An entrance that connects the middle and the magic system."
Moment.
"Magister!"
"Magic!"
Many people stood up and shouted.
Ian, Swift and Chris, who were always calm, were also very surprised.
Among all the people, the only one who kept a calm expression was Aelee.
In fact, as the leader of the Elves, she was somewhat aware of the boundary gate.
But even that story continued to terrify me.
"The door to the boundary is sealed with powerful magic. But for centuries, the power of the seal has been weakening, little by little. If I left it alone, I was more likely to break the seal and open the perimeter door. It was a situation where the middleman could be shattered into the hands of the horses. In the end, to prevent this worst-case scenario......."
Roan's gaze leads to Aelee.
"The dragons have set out."
"Ah......."
She quickly turns her head to look at Kalian, with low elasticity.
Kalian glances at Aelee's eyes and smiles.
Long time no see, Ficis, queen of the Elves. '
He also knew her well.
'Ver, Ligby and Trellian taught me.'
He didn't teach her himself, but he clearly remembered what happened back then.
'Seelen, who was a former Ficis, became a target of her own, luring the Dark Elves in between, and Aelee came to the Grains.'
It's the same story that Alien told Roan the other day.
'I became a disciple of the three dragons and set out for the Elven Forest in the year of my adulthood.'
It was the same story that Aelee told Roan.
But there was one other thing.
'Ficis. You knew we were dormant, but you were actually guarding the perimeter door.'
Until then, there was no reason to explain.
No, it was better not to reveal.
I didn't have to confuse the middleman.
'Until then, I thought I could defend the perimeter gate as much as I wanted.'
Kalian smiles bitterly.
But things have changed now.
Now, the dragons alone could not defend the gates of the border.
I needed everyone's help.
"Are you telling me that the dragons that disappeared hundreds of years ago were actually guarding the gates of the border?"
Swift looks surprised.
Roan nods slowly.
"Yes. It was a great sacrifice for the middleman."
He looks closely at Kalian and speaks in a powerful voice.
"guarding the perimeter door was not difficult. The dragons turned to each other and sealed each other and rested their strength and abilities through sleep. But things changed in just a few years."
At that time, Ian smiled bitterly as he listened.
"The altar of Latio and the ritual to weaken the seal of the door at the borders."
"Ah......."
A low sigh erupted from the surroundings.
Roan nods slowly.
"Yes. He intends to open the gates of the border and turn the Mages into a field of trouble." "
"Hmm."
Everyone swallowed the moan.
His face became stiff.
Boundary Doors, Magic Charms, Horses.......
I felt dizzy in my head because of a lot of stories that I didn't think of.
"If this condition persists just a little longer, the door will open despite the sacrifice of the dragons."
Once the gates of the border were opened, it was clear that the Mages would pour out.
'The Horsemen. Those hideous creatures reveal themselves in a heap!'
Everyone's face distorted.
There was a very occasional time when the Horsemen appeared in the world.
When the gap between the middle and the middle boundary interlocks for a moment, some of the horsemen bounce off the middle boundary.
Now, of course, there were times when they appeared according to the summoning rituals of the dark wizards and shamans who were hiding their tracks.
'Even if only one or two horses appeared, three or four knights were destroyed.'
It was the Mages who were so terribly strong.
"But if the door to the boundary opens….."
It means that many tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people pour out at the same time.
"Doom! Doom!" '
Everyone's face is stained with rotten light.
I remembered the energy of despair in my eyes.
'That's what I thought.'
Calian smiles bitterly as he watches.
I could not have expected such a reaction even if I had just heard the story.
'We need to go to prime numbers.'
I thought it would be quite useful if I just extracted them from each country.
That's when the desperate bastards looked up at Roan one by one.
It's as natural as water flowing from high to low.
Roan gazes boldly at the gaze that pours out on him.
I did not show excessive confidence.
I just showed the same face and attitude as usual.
At that moment, a bright light flashed on the faces of those who had been bitten with rotten light.
Not only that, the eyes that were shining with the energy of despair were filled with vigor.
'Yes. Even if you are with the Emperor...'
"I've had a hard time walking with the king! '
'If this is her, I can do it if she's with me!'
I felt overwhelmed.
They regained their confidence by looking at Roan, who was standing firm in front of them in the same way as before.
Roan smiles blurrily.
He also noticed a change in his subordinates.
"I don't have to ask."
The smile became darker.
"Will you fight with me?"
Everyone bows their heads without a sound.
At the same time, a sudden burst of energy erupted.
"Oh."
Kalian couldn't help but wonder.
The object of his admiration was Roan.
'Fantastic.'
I raised the morale of falling indefinitely for a while.
It was not a heartwarming speech or a show of force.
Being itself was a comfort, a faith, and a powerful hope.
Then.
"But how did you find out about this?"
Chris, the director of the Agency, was surprised and cautiously asked.
I guess they were very curious because they didn't even know that agencies were the best intelligence organizations on the continent.
Roan looks at Calian.
"It's because of Kalian."
As long as I decided to hide my identity, I had to do everything I could.
Calian smiles awkwardly and lowers his head slightly.
"He……"
Roan's introduction continued.
"I am the representative of the dragons."
"Ah!"
At that moment, many people burst into elasticity.
"That's why you were so good at magic."
Swift, who had seen Khalian's teleport in person, shakes his head with his tongue.
Meanwhile, Aelee and Pills, who knew the real Calian, smiled awkwardly.
Roan gives a number of commands to quickly turn the conversation around.
"First, each provincial unit should focus on searching the area's altar."
In addition to the provincial groups, the Central and Special Forces, as well as the Royal Guards and various knights, gave the necessary instructions.
In addition, the ministers and legislators were ordered to prepare for the horrific war ahead, with back-up.
"Phew! I'll take my orders."
Everyone bows with a short bow.
Roan takes a deep breath.
"I'm going to the Holy See to discuss this."
It was a very dangerous choice, but I had to go through it once.
'I'd rather be beaten by a hawk.'
Then.
"Your Majesty, if not, I have something to report about the Holy See."
Swift steps forward and gently speaks out.
"I don't know where you are, but I sent letters across the kingdom......."
He takes out a letter from his arms.
"A letter from the Duke of Boise. Read it for yourself."
"The Duke of Boise?"
Roan frowns and carefully takes out the letter and reads it.
The content was quite long.
But I couldn't read a single letter.
"Hmm."
The contents of the letter were truly great.
Roan folds the letter back gently and returns it to Swift.
"I should visit the Duke of Boise first, not the Holy See."
Unknown word.
Swift nods silently.
Right then.
"Your Majesty, we have something to say as well."
Ian and Chris stepped forward, expressing their urgency.
Roan breaks his head slightly.
"What's going on?"
Ian looked at Chris with a light question.
Chris quickly reported with a short sigh.
"There's been a transformation in the Persian kingdom."
"The Persian Empire?!"
Roan looks a little surprised.
Chris nods.
"The first prince, Reytas Persian, exiled from the island of Tello......."
He quickly unravels the stories that had taken place in the Persian kingdom for a while.
"Then, where is Prince Manus now?"
Roan quickly identified the situation and drilled through the core.
Chris took the letter out of his arms.
"I just got word."
Roan quickly handed over the letter.
The widespread paper was densely written.
"Oops……"
After reading the entire contents, Roan frowns and shakes his head.
He hesitates for a moment, then turns his head to look at Swift.
"Archbishop, you and Calian must go to the Duke of Boissa."
Difficult decision.
"Yes? Then you……?"
Swift looks surprised.
Roan turns his head to look at Calian.
"I need to get to the Persian kingdom."
I noticed a little nervous in my eyes.
He looks directly into Calian's eyes and nods slightly.
You're asking me to give you a teleport. '
Calian realizes Roan's thoughts and takes a bumpy walk.
"Where do you want me to send you?"
A bold voice shook the conference room.
"The Evians Region of the Persian Kingdom."
Short answer.
Kalian smiles strangely.
"That's a long way."
"I still have to go."
Roan takes a deep breath.
Kalian nods without a word.
Meantime.
"Alie."
Roan holds Ailee's two hands.
She struggles to press the boiling emotions and gives you a faint smile.
"Goodbye. Leave this place to us."
"Thank you all the time."
Roan kissed with a short greeting.
Beautiful.
It was a moment that made me forget the ugly and terrible reality for just a moment.
"I'm ready."
You hear Kalian's voice in your ears.
Roan takes a step back, letting go of Aelee's hand.
"Everyone......."
Roan said in a clear voice, looking back at Austin, Swift and others.
"Please."
The eyes that are truly buried.
"Don't worry."
Everyone bows.
At the same time.
Pa!
The white pillar rises around Roan.
It was teleport magic.
After the pillar of light disappeared, so did Roan.
Right then.
"Oops!"
Kalian claps his hands in surprise.
He scratches the back of his head and sighs for a short time.
Everyone's gaze spills towards Calian, but he doesn't mind at all.
'I forgot the Europas gift.'
It was so chaotic that I forgot the last gift that Europas left to Roan.
"Following?"
But soon, I shook my head.
'It's useless to accept a gift now anyway.......'
It was not an excuse.
'Let's go to the Duke first, as Roan instructed.'
Kalyan turns his head to look at Swift.
"Let's go, too."
A short, loud voice popped out.
It was not an attitude I could take to the Chief Executive Officer of a country.
Nevertheless, neither Swift nor even Austin or Sami had any reaction.
Rather, he had a polite and respectful expression without knowing where he was.
"Yes, I understand."
Swift bows slightly and grabs Calian's hand.
At the same time.
Paaaaaah!
Once more, the pillar of light rises.
Again, teleport magic.
