I am the Monarch

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

Highest point in the Grains.

Where no human has dared to climb.

The summit flashed white.

Unlike other sharp mountains, the highest point of the Grain Mountains was so wide and flat that its tip was invisible.

Moreover, there was an unknown deep hole in the middle of the flat, wide area.

It looked like a giant spear pierced the mountains and the earth.

The hole was really deep.

Even deeper than the height of the mountains, I couldn't see the end.

Even Phileas' body was drilled much deeper than where it had been sealed.

It feels like a passageway leading to another world.

As the depth of the hole got deeper, the cold air that was so cold that I couldn't even breathe disappeared, and I could feel the firearms burning.

An unbearable place for an ordinary human being.

“This is bad!”

An urgent voice erupts from the bottom of the hole.

“Pour out your Mana! ”

“Seal is broken! ”

Different voices pour out.

The protagonists of his voice were all beautiful young men.

Hair, eyebrows and eyes of different colors, such as blue, silver, and green, glowed brightly.

The young men stood at intervals along the round floor and extended their arms forward.

Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo!

A tremendous amount of Mana emanates from the palms of your hands with regular vibrational sounds.

Mana, who was the same color as her hair, infiltrated the ground in front of her feet.

The large hole, the end of which started from the top, was plain ground.

No, it wasn't.

It was so blurry that if you didn't look closely, it was hard to fathom, but a very complex and difficult pattern was engraved all over the floor.

As the youngsters poured Mana out, they repeatedly said that the unfamiliar pattern had become darker and blurred.

“Grrrgh!"

“Ha, limit! ”

“What the hell is going on?! ”

The young men frowned and uttered profanity.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the young man with blue hair.

“Ver! This is not good! ”

“Looks like Kalian failed! I think they did something under the mountains! ”

“The gate of the border will open soon! ”

Urgent words spill out.

They were amazing words.

Ver was clearly the name of the Blue Dragon.

In addition, the door of the boundary was the door that connects the middle boundary and the horse system, which kept the dragons from breaking the seal.

Young people.

Their identity was dragons, and the ground on which a difficult mark was engraved at the end of a hole that began at the top of the Grain Mountains was a gateway to a different boundary.

“Ver! You can't stay like this! ”

“We have to do something! ”

Several dragons screamed at Vere.

Vern's blue eyes tremble sharply.

‘Europas. What would you have done.......’

I asked myself, but I didn't come up with a clear solution.

Then.

Pa!

The pattern of the ground, which was repeatedly darkened and blurred, began to take a distinct shape.

as well.

Blah, blah!

Following the pattern, deep cracks begin to spread across the ground.

“Hehe!”

“Ver! You are the Dragon Lord! You have to give me an order! ”

The dragons poured out their mana with all their might and shouted.

They were so urgent and restless that they did not match the modifier word "great being."

“Phew.”

She lets out a long breath.

In fact, he knew, no, all the dragons here.

‘The door to the boundary is open. ’

It was no longer possible to keep the seal sealed.

Rather, it was a miracle that the seals held.

If Europas hadn't used Impensia magic to sacrifice himself, the seal would have snapped and the door would have opened.

‘Pouring Mana into the conclusion is meaningless. ’

Ver quickly clears his mind.

“We're getting out of here! Everyone to the top of the Gran Mountains! ”

The first decision he made was escape.

Scary to the end.

“What are you talking about? You want to give up the gate? ”

Surprised look and voice.

Ver, on the other hand, regained his composure.

“Seal's broken anyway. It doesn't make sense to pour Mana out anymore. ”

“So we're just going to watch the Horsemen pour out? ”

Several dragons swallowed dry water with tense expressions.

They spent an enormous amount of Manawa's energy guarding the perimeter door.

Even if I wasn't the Demon King now, I was at risk for the lives of dozens of the best horsemen.

He shakes his head and replies calmly.

“I'm going to try and slow them down as soon as I can before they spill out into the middle. ”

Blue eyes flare and glow.

The dragons cautiously asked with a nervous expression.

“How? ”

The question was simple.

The answer was also simple.

“Break down the Grains. ”

That's how the conversation ended.

Kuku Ball Bow!

Instead, the ground trembled with enormous noise.

The door on the perimeter was about to open wide.

I didn't have time to hesitate anymore.

“Hurry!”

Ver screams loudly and plunges into the ground.

Pa!

His stature rises to the sky along the hole.

At the same time.

It's rare!

The human form disappeared everywhere and was transformed into a giant blue dragon.

Hooray! Hooray!

Every time you move your big wings, your huge body rises toward the outside of the hole.

“Hehe! Let's hurry! ”

“Let's get out one by one! ”

The other dragons soon chased Vere.

They hurtled lightly into the air and quickly returned to their original form.

Pa!

Suddenly, all of the dragons, including Vere, soared above the top of the Gran Mountains.

Hooray! Hooray! Whoo-hoo!

Every time the giant wings move, the white snow accumulates on the summit and scatters to all directions.

Kuku ku ku ku ku gu gu.

In the meantime, the door of the border is shaking even louder.

It feels like the whole mountain range is shaking well.

It looked like there was a similar earthquake.

“Let's tear this area down and plug a hole. ”

He shakes his head and reveals his plan.

He wasn't just thinking about escaping.

‘If we fill the holes, we can tie the feet of the horses even if the gate of the border is opened. ’

Of course, it was only a temporary plan.

But now there was no proper solution.

Because of this, the other dragons only nodded at Vere's words.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Several dragons, including Ver, circled the top hole.

At the same time.

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!

You shoot different colored braces towards the highest point of the Grain Mountains.

Kwaaaahhhhhhhh!

There was an enormous explosion.

The surface of the settlement that was flat was carved out in no time.

No, it was ripped out.

Kugu!

At the same time, rocks and piles of dirt start pouring into the hole that was deeply dug by itself.

Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!

The dragons did not stop Bress.

They swirl around the top, filling and filling the hole.

Kuaang! Kuaang! Kugu Palace!

The peak that was rising high on its own quickly lowers.

Instead, a pile of rocks and dirt surrounds the area, creating a plateau that had never existed before.

When the dragons joined forces to shoot Bress, the appearance of the Grain Mountains, which had been in place for hundreds or thousands of years, changed in an instant.

It was the moment when the sky fell and the earth turned upside down.

Fight!

The last Brest strikes the peak.

Kuang!

A stone that had risen sharply with a loud bang breaks completely.

Pussy.

The breeze blows away the white dust.

“Phew.”

The dragons, including Ver, exhaled for a long time.

Dragonheart is in pain.

They are no longer floating to Mana exhaustion, and settle on flat ground.

“That's enough, right? ”

A powerless question.

He closes his eyes quietly and concentrates his senses towards the door of the boundary, deep below the ground.

“Hmm.”

A relief filled my face flowed.

“I think I can hold them off for at least ten days. ”

A hole of immense depth that was originally pierced was completely blocked.

In short, the hole disappears and a high mountain sits on it.

‘No matter how powerful the Demon King and his hordes are, I will suffer for at least ten days. ’

That was Vern's idea and judgment.

Then I sighed for relief with another dragon.

“Good for you.”

“I bought myself some time. ”

“Then, let's find Kalian and see what happens next…..”

When the horse goes on like that.

Two, two, two, two!

Suddenly, the top of the mountain shook violently.

“Hmm?! ”

Ver's face hardens a little.

Underneath your feet, an unpleasant energy gushes from the depths of the ground.

Moment.

Kuang!

The ground that was flattened with the noise was greatly trembling.

It looks like a volcano's about to explode.

Kwung! Kwung! Kuoooo!

The noise and vibration continued for a while.

At that time, the dragons, including Ver, raised the rest of Mana with a nervous look.

They press down on the top of the mountain with a huge torso.

But the vibrations were much tougher than I thought.

Tofu, tofu!

The flat summit turned into a strange shape, either a concave or a sudden rise.

Kuang!

The last heavy tremor shifts the entire mountain.

“....... ”

“…… is it over? ”

The dragons do not move quietly, lying flat on the ground.

Fortunately, no more sounds and vibrations occurred.

“Looks like it's over. ”

“It was a terrible power. ”

“I thought the whole mountain range was going to explode. ”

The end of my voice trembles.

It was the first time that the middle-class ruler, the dragons who had faced great existence, had been so frightened.

He closes his eyes again and raises his senses when he loses.

I can clearly feel the unpleasant and intriguing energy beneath the ground.

“Hmm.”

Ver sighs unbearably, low.

He closed his eyes and looked at the dragons.

“Four days.”

The voice was misplaced.

“Four days at the most. ”

The dragons frowned.

“In four days, the Horsemen will be out of the world through this thick mountain? ”

“Shit. Four days is too soon. ”

You nod silently at the sound of the spill.

He also knew very well.

In four days, it was time to come up with a solution and prepare for the day ahead.

No, this was not enough time to recover all of the Mana we're running out of.

But I couldn't just whine forever.

“Let's go see Kalian first. ”

He glanced directly into the eyes of many dragons with blue eyes.

“Do you think meeting with Calian will give you a solution? ”

Realistic questions came out.

He widens his wings with a bitter smile.

“We'll see about that. ”

Circumstances that don't have a clear way anyway.

From now on, I had to struggle directly with my body to find a solution.

Paaaahhhhhh!

The white pillar rises, surrounding the dragons' nature, including Vere.

It was teleport magic.

The pillar of light disappeared quickly, and so did the dragons.

Only the icy breeze blows where they leave.

Right then.

Kwaek!

After cracking on the hard ground, a long, ugly arm of black skin rises up.

It was sharp, sharp, and very thin, like a spear, or an arrow.

Quadrudruple!

His arms twist into the air.

Each time, the ground's gold expanded slightly.

And finally.

“Kekekekekekeke!”

With a peculiar laugh, a much more peculiar face protrudes from the ground.

His face was very small.

It was the size of an adult man's fist.

Face skin was as black as arms and large eyes accounted for half of the face.

“It's the middle. It's the middle. ”

His mouth was wide open like a hippocampus, with a long tear below his ear.

A wide mouth revealed dozens of sharp teeth.

Quack, quack! Kwaek!

The ground around you trembles as if you were waiting, and the cracks soon cracked open.

Pa!

At the same time, a long, ugly arm of black skin suddenly popped up from everywhere.

Finko, a lesser horseman, is who they are.

Unfortunately, Ber misjudged the time when the Horses came out of the world through thick mountains.

However, it was also not a completely wrong prediction.

It was only Pinko who was thin and thin as a rod that the rocks and piles of dirt spilled over the boundary door were so thick and hard that they could squeeze through the gap.

“Kekekekeke!”

Of course, they were also very lethal and dangerous to ordinary humans.

After a struggle, Pinko climbs up and around, furrowing his nostrils.

“Kekeke! Here we go! ”

“Down the mountain! ”

They were less verbal than the lower horseman.

Finko quickly blinks his big eyes and leaps down the slopes toward the bottom of the Gran Mountains.

It looked as if I was looking at a black landslide.

Fincoe disappears in no time.

The heavy static settled where they left off.

I hear nothing.

No, deep underground, there was an unpleasant and terrible vibration.

Kwung. Kwung. Kuang.

The vibrations were slightly larger and rougher.

* * *

“Hmm?"

Roan Lancefield and Calian frowned, shivering in flaws.

Instinctive response.

Roan turns his head to look into Calian's eyes.

The two eyes sank into darkness.

Calian nods slowly, smiling bitterly.

“Looks like the gate to the perimeter is open. ”

A very blurry, weak but delicate sensation made me feel an unpleasant horse-like aura.

It was the same with Roan.

The full absorption of Phileas' body and soul allowed me to better gauge the horsepower of the Horsemen.

“Shouldn't we be going? ”

Roan cautiously asked with a stiff expression.

Calian shakes his head slightly and closes his eyes.

After a while.

“No, you stay here. ”

Calian grins and grabs Roan by the shoulder.

“Looks like my friends came looking for me and went to my Rare. I'm going to go meet them, and you..."

The smile on my mouth became darker.

“Stay here in Europas Rare. ”

Now, Roan and Calian stand in front of the Rare Entrance to the Golden Dragon Europa.

Before Calian went to his Rare, he stopped by the Rare in Europas for Roan.

“Is that okay? ”

He replies with a cautious voice.

The opening of the gate of the border meant that the Demon King and the Horsemen were pouring out into the middle line.

This meant that a completely new and powerful enemy had emerged, unlike Lunak the Berserker and the Latios, Black Generals and Black Legions.

Kalian nods, smiling brightly.

“Of course. Are you making fun of our dragons? ”

“Oh, no, that's not it. ”

Roan shakes his hand in surprise.

Kalian taps Roan on the shoulder and looks at the rare entrance of Europas.

“Roan. All you have to do now is make the gift that Europas left you intact. ”

“Hmm.”

Roan nods slightly with a low depression.

He also knew what was most important.

Kalian looks a little relieved just then.

“I'll be going, then. You don't have to worry about our business. But.......”

I had a fierce smile on my mouth.

“But don't get too wolfy. ”

At that, Roan quickly nods.

“Very well. I'll be as quick as I can. ”

That was the end of the conversation.

Calian glances into Roan's eyes and shakes his hand lightly.

Paaaahhhh!

He disappeared with a white pillar of light.

Roan takes a deep breath.

‘We must hurry. ’

The horseman's energy, which I felt on my skin, shook my heart.

He makes his way towards the tightly closed Rare Entrance to Europas.

"The golden dragon and former dragon lord, Europas......."

I drooled on my own.

‘He left me a gift.......’

Roan raises his right hand very slowly against a huge wall blocking the Rare Entrance.

‘This is Rare. ’

The moment I thought about it.

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!

A golden glow emanates from the walls.

The light grabbed Roan and swallowed him.

And...

Pa!

When the light disappears, I no longer see Roan.

* * *

Ordinary people did not realize the door to the boundary was open.

No, not even the finest knights or wizards trained in Mana could sense the power of the Horsemen emanating from the Grains.

But not everyone noticed the change.

“Hmm?"

“What?" “Something creepy and unpleasant? ”

A small change in the moment when the door to the boundary was opened, there were those who did not miss the horsepower that had only been strengthened for a short while.

Manus von Persion was also one of those talents.

“Hmm.”

I squeezed my lips and sighed.

“What's the matter? Your Majesty."

Earl Romils Horton, who has been promoted to his direct commander since Manus ascended the throne, carefully asked.

‘I guess Romills didn't notice…..’

Manus smiles bitterly, briefly grabbing his hind bones and recalling the unpleasant energy that disappeared.

I looked around and saw that only I felt that kind of energy.

‘I don't feel good. ’

I felt uneasy for no reason.

However, the monarch of a nation could not reveal his insides.

“No, it's no big deal. ”

Manus smirks and shakes his hand.

He turns his head to look ahead.

At the end of the open field, the castle was quite large.

“Is that castle Saint Fioria? ”

Romills nods coldly.

“Indeed. That castle is the Node City of Fioria, in the Eastern Kingdom of Byron. ”

He glances around for a moment and then speaks in a small voice.

“If we take down Pioria Castle, the Eastern Byron Kingdom will collapse with impulse. Conversely, if we don't take that castle down, we will be left in a grave situation. ”

His face was very serious.

“But are you sure you want to pass without attacking? ”

At the end of the sentence, the various commanders around you all look serious.

It was a question everyone wanted to ask.

Manus smiles faintly and replies with a bold voice.

“It is not for us to take down that castle. We.......”

He raises his right hand in front of his eyes.

A cool breeze squeezes through my fingers.

“The king of Byron marches like the wind towards Barna Castle. ”

That was the plan of the Persian Empire Army and what Manus had to do.

Romills and other commanders were already aware of this.

But I felt anxious about the words in my head.

“If the Byron Empire forces attack from behind, our Persian Empire forces will be flanked back and forth. ”

It was very common sense.

No forces in the world marched behind them.

Manus nods, smiling and smiling.

“Don't worry about it. Behind us.......”

My voice was full of confidence.

“The Light Kingdom soldiers will protect you. ”

The major Nodes, Fortresses and Legions in Byron Kingdom that were left behind were supposed to be dealt with by the Light Kingdom forces that followed.

But even as Manus said, some of the commanders could not shake the feeling of anxiety.

“I can trust them.......”

By that time, Manus raises his right hand.

“Trust me.”

A powerful voice.

“Not them…..”

He lowers his flashing right hand to cover his chest.

“Me.”

Everything was decided and planned by Manus.

Of course, I sought a lot of advice from Roan, but after all, the Byron Kingdom raid was an operation Manus adopted.

Gulp.

Several commanders swallowed dry saliva.

They were familiar with Manus' abilities and personalities.

I also knew that he was someone who would never say anything nonsense.

‘Yes, if you don't trust the Wright, you can trust King Manus. ’

"All we have to do is look at His Majesty's back and run. ’

The commanders take a deep breath and look forward.

Then Manus smiled and turned his head to look forward.

A cool breeze blows over the open field.

It feels like we're holding hands to run together.

Manus kicks the horse in the belly, pulling the rope hard.

Two, two, two, two!

Immediately, the wind-like sprint started with a loud hoof sound.

“Charge!”

“Follow the king! ”

Romills and several other commanders shouted and kicked the horse's belly.

Immediately, tens of thousands of troops, who were killing their breath, swept through the fields.

The Persian kingdom, which had been crouching since the Holy See was summoned, finally came to its full attention.

And as Manus said, after they left, the Light Kingdom forces appeared, as promised, or as faithful.

They were able to cross the Persian Kingdom and reach Byron Kingdom thanks to Manus' consideration and support.

After resting long enough, the Light Kingdom army slowly took over the eastern region of Byron Kingdom.

The Light Kingdom military was able to win the annual war because most of the Byron Empire's troops had moved to the southern region bordering the Amaranth Kingdom.

It didn't mean that Byron Kingdom troops won the battle against the Amaranth Kingdom army.

This is because the Persian and Light kingdoms, in turn, have dispatched a large force to the borders as members of the Armageddon Kingdom.

News of the arrival of the late Estonian Empire troops on the northwestern border of the Amaranth Kingdom was sent to the front lines.

Furthermore, news of the Holy See military's arrival in the southern borders of the Kingdom of Amaranth has also crossed the Kingdom of DS.

At last, the complicated war, the great war of the Middle Ages, began.
