I am the Monarch

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

The tall tables cling to the wall.

Dozens of men dressed in red conquest sat before the table and moved the pen diligently.

Clusters of well-organized documents piled up in droves.

In a way, it looks very ordinary.

However, when I looked closely, they were very strange.

Dozens of men wielding pens held glass beads one by one.

A glass bead that glistens with no rest.

The men whispered in a restless voice, taking the glass bead to their ears or to their lips.

“Receive information. Let me check this out. Northern Ohail Village in Lentria was attacked last night by Apple Troops from the Northern Traim and Repen from the Byron Royal Deflin Troops. An army of Epples destroyed the Lefen Army and captured 347 soldiers. 139 troop warriors, 399 injured, 17 missing....... after Luke's troops left the line and retreated south.......

“No all-out war. No all-out war. Focus now on the Water Temple.......”

“A messenger has departed regarding the reorganization of the Second Western Armed Forces. Check the general military position.......”

Everyone's busy.

Then.

“Phew.”

One of the men lets out a long breath and lowers his relentless pen.

On the left chest of the Red Conquest, there is a name tag with the name Halley on it.

The man carefully lowers the glass bead in his hand onto the table.

Sparkle.

The glass bead flashes for a moment, then returns to its normal form.

Holly just stood up with a bunch of paperwork packed with letters.

A giant table in the middle of the space, facing your feet.

A young man was sitting on a table with far more clumps of documents than anywhere else, reviewing them with a quick hand.

Holly reaches out to the young man with a new batch of documents.

“General Ian Phillips. Reports coming up from the southern front. ”

The young man who was reviewing the documents was Ian Phillips, who was in charge of the Royal Army of Amaranth.

He put down the document he was holding and smiled brightly.

“Well done.”

“No, it's my job. But.......”

Holly looks around for no reason, then blurs her words.

Ian nods, saying he's okay.

“Tell me.”

Soft voice.

Holly spoke in a very small, discreet voice to see if she had gained her courage.

“I've been a little concerned about this for the past few days. ”

“Something bothering you? ”

Ian frowns slightly.

Concentrate on Holly's story.

Holly nods coldly.

“The number of suicides is increasing dramatically. ”

“Suicide? ”

Ian looks a little surprised.

The whole kingdom was focused on the exhibition system, and he was not paying much attention either.

Moreover, although it was sad, suicide was not uncommon in this time of year.

‘But if you feel that the Director of the Information Bureau is strange, something is wrong. ’

Ian picked his breath.

“Any unusual trends? ”

At that, Holly nods slowly.

“I don't know if this is an anomaly or not, but most of the suicides are immigrants who have recently entered the kingdom. ”

“Hmm.”

Ian frowns with a low brow.

It was an era of constant war and combat.

Even in the age of war, it's not an exaggeration.

Some people went through this chaotic and terrible time, and they couldn't stand themselves, so they killed themselves.

However, if it only appeared to certain classes, certain regions, and certain people, it would never be tolerated.

Ian looks directly at Holly and gives a new command in a low voice.

“Director Harley. From now on, gather and report all relevant information about the number of immigrants who committed suicide, including where they live, age and gender. I'll review it myself. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

After answering with a tightening expression and voice, Holly quickly returned to her seat.

A large hand grabs the glass bead.

Ian glanced at the scene for a moment and was deeply intrigued by unexpected reports.

‘Suicide of immigrants.......’

Something's not right.

But I was not anxious or nervous.

He trusted his people.

The leaders of the intelligence agency were the ones they handpicked and taught.

I boasted of the abilities that came together.

And most of all,

‘Because you have a king. ’

There was a Roan Lancefield who was stronger than anyone in the world and more reliable than anyone else in the world.

Ian smiled and picked up a bunch of documents.

My shoulder opened by itself and my chin went up.

My heart was beating fast.

I was confident.

It was all because of Roan.

* * *

Among the provincial armies of the Amaranth Kingdom, the western armies were the most dangerous and busy.

Due to my contact with the Grain Mountains, I had to fight numerous wars and battles against ferocious monsters, even in plain sight, not during the exhibition.

It was just as strategically important.

When the western army collapsed, it could have collapsed all at once to the center of the kingdom.

Roan entrusted this important western force to Harrison Infec, a lateral member of his team.

Harrison, already regarded as the continent's greatest archer, has accomplished a number of tasks, including being the commander of the western army, defending the region and defeating monsters.

However, as the Holy See rallied all over the continent and the invasion of Byron began, the western militaries regrouped into two armies, marching to save the northern and southern armies, respectively.

The situation was inevitable, but this left a military gap in the western part of the Amaranth Kingdom.

After discussing this with each other, Roan and Ian delegated the military space to one of the Special Forces, Team Grain.

Some nobles had doubts about whether they would be fine as a special forces, but it turned out that such concerns were mere moments away.

Zachary Andre Mold, commander of the Grain Army, subdue the monsters to perfection and safeguard the border area so that he could not feel the western army's void.

Of course, this did not mean that the situation was relaxing or easy.

In the western part of the Amaranth Kingdom, there was still intense fighting every day.

“Dammit! Those damn Orcs! Where the hell did that come from? ”

Boden, commander of the Boden Corps, of the Grain Corps, gives you an insult.

‘Monsters are getting more active these days. ’

Moreover, the behavior of monsters has also changed a lot.

Usually, they would spill from deep inside the Grains into the outer shores or fields and plunder villages or castles.

But nowadays, I've been poking around in the woods or caves around the hillside.

It's like...

Borden grips his teeth.

Like you're looking for something. ’

Of course, this was all a wild guess.

He strikes one orc down hard and sweeps through the battlefield quickly.

It was definitely a battle in the forest, but the battlefield was flatter and wider than I expected.

It's hard to think of it as a forest if not for tall trees.

‘Dammit. If it wasn't for searching the altar, we wouldn't have to come all the way to the hillside.......’

If monsters used to spill out to the places Humans were guarding, they would now be attacked by Humans to the places they are guarding.

“Don't back down! Fight! Kill! ”

Borden pushes himself to the front and encourages his soldiers.

The Deputy Taverns shouted as they raised their spirits.

“Charge!”

“Attack!”

A loud voice echoes through the battlefield.

“Waaaahhhh!”

Soon after, the screams of the soldiers erupted.

Everyone opened their eyes and rushed towards the monsters.

They knew.

If these monsters here escape alive, the innocent kingdom will be sacrificed and their lives will be lost.

My brother was taken by these guys, too! ’

"You filthy, ugly monsters! ’

Enemies of the family! ’

The soldiers grip their teeth.

Your hand grips the weapon.

Cham! Cham! Chang!

A flame strikes with the sound of iron.

Squeak, squeak!

With a terrible sound, my arms and legs fly off and my neck falls off.

The battle was a battle.

There were many more monsters, but none of the guards retreated or hesitated.

Kill these guys and save the midfielder! ’

I will protect this world! ’

For our family! ’

"To my beloved wife and daughter! ’

"Son, a father doesn't run away! ’

The soldiers are burned by the heat of their mission.

The aspirations of those who had something to protect were fiercer and hotter than any flame.

“Hobbyist! Fools! ”

“Die, die! ”

Grain Orcs, twice the size of the other Orcs, burst into clubs as big as their forearms.

They were much stronger than the regular soldiers, and that number overwhelmed the guards as well.

“Keke! Stupid humans! I can't believe they crawled in here on their own! ”

“You want to die. Kekeke!”

The Orcs bare their sharp fangs and swung the club with no rest.

Puff! Puff!

Each time, a soldier's head is smashed or his armor is dug into a depression.

“Dammit! It really is endless! ”

Borden grumbles and groans.

He raises his sword high and shouts once more.

“Attack! Hang in there! The cavalry will arrive soon! ”

That said, a number of Orcs burst the photon.

“Khehehehehe! A veteran? ”

“Looks like you're the only ones in the army. ”

A face and a voice you can be confident in.

Are you telling me that these things have hidden power? ’

A cold sweat runs through Borden's back.

But he struggled to breathe and felt nothing.

Borden was the commander.

He was a commander.

Hundreds of soldiers still fought fiercely believing in him.

“Cheer up! ”

Borden's voice echoes through the forest.

“Waaaahhhh!”

Soldiers shout and strike back once more.

The battle grew more and more violent.

But...

“Huff!”

“Glug. W-well...”

“Huff!”

Over time, the formation of the guards begins to crumble.

Heavy duty.

Strength, troops, they were all lacking in power.

“Khehehe! Die! Die!”

The Grain Orcs became more demoralized and became frenzied.

Borden slashes a frenzied orc in front of him and bites his teeth.

Are the soldiers ready yet? ’

The tip of my eyes trembled.

“Ow!”

“Huff!”

The screams of the soldiers come from everywhere.

Borden quickly sweeps through the battlefield, clenching his two fists.

“Dammit! Once this is over.......”

As soon as I try to grip it and order a retreat.

Phew! Phew!

With the sound of the trumpet, the north bush trembles loudly.

At the same time.

Idiot! Idiot!

Several dozens or hundreds of arrows appeared after cutting through the bush.

Sharp porosity.

Bubble, bum, bum!

The arrowheads can't stop piercing the monsters.

“Queek!”

“Cough!”

The Grain Orcs and several other monsters that were chasing the troops suddenly fell into the shape of a hedgehog.

“Ah.......”

The board bursts with enormous elasticity.

My legs trembled.

Finally, the enemy who was waiting so long arrived.

“Save the guards! ”

“Slaughter the monsters! ”

Immediately, the forest split apart and the crowd in front of the base appeared.

< Summer Troops. >

A group of Sumpters scouring the north rather than the Boden.

“Mwahaha! Borden! You didn't pee yourself, did you? ”

A big middle-aged man appeared under the command.

He was a Sumpter, commander of the Sumpters.

He and Borden were quite close.

“Dammit! Sumpter! He sent a distress signal, and now he shows up! ”

Borden straightens up, kneeling down.

I felt a lot of strength in my wobbly legs.

The sumpter grins and pulls out a small glass bead from his waist.

It was the same colored glass bead used by the Amaranth intelligence agency, but much smaller in size.

Moreover, the glass bead that the Sumpters are holding has a slight crack.

“I'm sorry. The bead is cracked. I can't get a signal. ”

He grimaces at the tip of his nose with a four-year-old smile.

Borden waves his sword, frowning and frowning.

“Let's get rid of those monsters first. We'll talk later. ”

Cool voice.

The Summer shakes with a fierce expression and then nods.

“Let's do what Commander Boden says. ”

Then I went out to the front of my hand with a big swing.

“Whoa! Follow the commander! ”

“Kill the monsters! ”

The troops of the Sumpter troops screech and strike the ground.

A fierce counterattack began.

Borden takes a breath and examines the battlefield.

As the ranks collapsed, the Boden troops sighed, thanks to the dramatic force that arrived.

“Phew.”

Borden takes a long breath and strikes the armor with his sword.

Thump! Thump! Kick!

The hiss sounded cheerful.

All the soldiers who were breathing looked at him.

Borden grins and points to a squadron of Sumpters battling monsters at their chins.

“Do you want to keep them entertained? ”

That said, the soldiers picked up their weapons, smiling faintly.

“I can't do that. ”

“I don't know about the others, but I don't want to be left behind by the Summoners. ”

“Now that you've sighed, let's have another great fight! ”

There are strong words pouring in from all over.

Borden nods, satisfied.

“Good. Then we'll have the ball before the Summoners take care of it all.”

When the horse goes on like that.

Kwaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Suddenly, a pillar of dirt bursts out with an enormous sound.

“Ahhhh!”

“Cough!”

“Queek!”

Humans and Orcs scream at the same time.

“Huff! What, what? ”

Borden frowns, scowling at the dirt spilling over his head.

Even the guards of the Borden troops who were about to take up arms were unable to concentrate on the soil and rocks that were spilling.

Then.

Boom.

Something heavy strikes Borden's helmet with a dull thud.

“Hehe. Is it a lump of dirt? ”

Borden glances at the circular object falling below his feet.

Moment.

“Suck!”

My eyes grew wide.

Borden bends to his knees and picks up a round object in front of his feet with a trembling hand.

“West, Sumpter? ”

Surprisingly, or horribly, the object that fell in front of the paw after it struck Borden's helmet was the head of the sumpter.

The neck was torn open and the back of the head was half burst.

“Summer. Yes, why are you..."

Borden does not speak easily.

I still couldn't even fathom what had happened.

“Boo, Commander! ”

“Stay with me! ”

You hear the voices of the ministers shouting from afar.

Gulp.

Borden grips Sumpter's head with both hands, looking up at where the dirt column had risen.

But there was so much sand that I couldn't really see what was going on.

But one thing is certain.......

"As well as the Sumpters, the monsters were defeated along with them. ’

I can see the dead bodies of Orcs and monsters scattered all over the place.

Borden sends a quick distress call.

The order was simple.

Stand by!

With a nervous expression, the Boden troops regroup and lower their stance.

It was an optimal advance in case of an incident.

Right then.

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!

Suddenly, the wind blows through the battlefield.

It was not an ordinary wind.

It was a strong rear wind that rose as the dust filled the battlefield was dragged into the place where the dust pillar had risen.

“Ugh.”

Borden grips his teeth and looks where the dust is being sucked in.

I closed my eyes because of the strong wind, but I endured it bitterly.

Fortunately, the wind slowly subsides.

And...

“Ah.......”

Borden had no choice but to burst his low elasticity.

The place where the dust was sucked, it was surprisingly.......

‘Huh, the dust, the enormous dust, was sucked into the boy's mouth. ’

Borden opens his eyes.

I couldn't believe it.

In the place where the dust was taken, a young man stood alone.

A young man with white skin and a beautiful face like a woman had her mouth wide open.

All the large and small stones around him, including dust, or dirt, were sucked into the young man's mouth.

“Hmm.”

The young man kept his mouth shut with a satisfied expression.

A face that looks so happy to anyone.

But...

“Hmm? Well, there are still survivors. ”

The young man frowned.

I felt a cool energy on my beautiful face.

“Worms don't die all at once. Tick, tick... ”

He clenches his tongue lightly and extends his right hand forward.

The long, thin fingers moved gently like rhythms.

“Well, hello, everyone. ”

Alone farewell.

The young man flicked the tip of his index finger lightly.

Very playful moves.

But the results were never playful.

Kwaaaahhhhhh!

It rose like a wave in front of the young man's feet.

“Huh?"

“What, what? ”

Borden and his soldiers are stunned by the enormous pile of dirt that even the sky hides.

I couldn't resist or escape in the first place.

The pile of dirt that covered the sky could not withstand the enormous weight, and soon it rained down on Borden and his soldiers.

“Ah.......”

Borden fires a low sigh.

He instinctively instinctively felt his own death.

Right then.

Paaaahhhh!

A white pillar popped up in front of my eyes.

At the same time.

Kwaaaahhhhhhhh!

A dark red flame spread out toward the sky.

Push, push!

The fire dances like a veil and pushes the piles of dirt around.

Kugu! Kugu!

A pile of unexploded, bouncing dirt knocks down the old trees.

The dark red flame disappears without a trace after pushing all the piles of dirt away.

At the same time, the white pillar disappeared like a lie.

It just happened so fast.

“....... ”

Borden and his soldiers simply stared at the stunning sight of a series.

My whole body was frozen like a statue, and only my eyes moved quickly from side to side.

“Ah.......”

Someone burst a low elasticity.

“Ah.......”

“Ah.......”

Elasticity spread like a flame.

All of the stray eyes, like a lost child, stop toward one place.

It was tears that poured out after elasticity.

Borden and his soldiers kneel on one knee with hot tears in their eyes.

The trembling hands climb on the breastplate.

“Chu, Chung. ”

Weeping rituals.

“To see you, Your Majesty. Khh.”

A crying voice echoes through the battlefield.

Borden and his soldiers bow down to where the pillar of light had risen.

There was a young man.

The young man who was waving his dark red hair around with a black spear, he was the monarch of Borden and his soldiers and the most powerful man on the continent, Roan Lancefield.

He took a short breath and looked at the youngster in front of him.

He was able to figure out the boy's identity in a heartbeat.

“You……"

Roan's eyes gleam red.

“Is that the Black General? ”

Lightweight questions.

He thought the young man was one of the Black Generals created by Lunak the Berserker.

While the black generals looked and smelled completely different, the disgusting and ugly energy that flowed through their bodies was very similar.

“The Black General? ”

The young man frowned.

A very offensive face.

He reaches for Roan with his right hand.

“I'm not a general..."

A beautiful voice blows through the battlefield in the wind.

“This is the general.”

You can't laugh because you've been beaten.

Roan looked into his eyes with a deep, sunken look.

"General......."

I thought it would be different from the regular Black Generals.

But I never thought I'd end up as a general above a general.

You can't possibly have a commander or a Commander-in-Chief or something like that on top of it, can you? ’

Suddenly, I had some absurd thoughts.

Roan shakes his head, smiling bloody.

Now was not the time to relax and think or worry.

He shakes his head slightly, looking straight at the young man.

“A general or a general.......”

I felt a little strong in my voice.

“Black is one thing. ”

A tremendous amount of Mana boils inside of you.

Glug-ug-ug-ug!

A dark red flame rises from Travis' spear.

The young man smiled coldly.

“How dare you come at me like that? Stupid worm. ”

Tellus, a young man, tightened the palm of his hand, closing his eyes.

At that moment, the whole finger and palm flashed brown.

“Die.”

Telus' voice is low.

Kuku ku ku ku ku ku.

The ground in the battlefield trembles as if waiting.

Without delay, Roan strikes the ground and flies toward Tellurus.

The flames of Travis' spear pierce the room and dance.

“To die…..”

Roan's voice catches fire and digs into his ears.
