I am the Monarch

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

“Damn it! Don't push it! Don't run away! ”

Bario Ron Estia, the emperor of the Estia, cried out as he watched the feud crumble in seclusion.

Some knights and soldiers gripped their teeth and fought back, but soon they collapsed before the enemy's brutal blade.

“What the hell is going on.......”

Bario takes a step back with a puzzling look.

There was no empire army that boasted of its magnificence anymore.

Everyone steps back, staggering in a bad mood.

Stragglers.

The continent's strongest, the Estonian Empire, was the perfect target of the Stragglers.

This is all because of Roan Lancefield and the Kingdom of Amaranth! ’

Bario clenches his fist.

I remembered the look of fury full of faces.

‘The power loss was too great to deal with them. ’

The troops of the Estonian Empire, which reached 200,000 at the time of the Holy See, fell to half the level after fierce engagement with the Armed Forces of the Kingdom.

Of course, not all 100,000 troops were killed by the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Amaranth.

Deserters surrendered or fled to the Amaranth kingdom outnumber the number of warriors, with shocking rumors about Lunak the Berserkers, the evil acts of the Tellian Church, and the appearance of the Horses.

After all, it was also all because of the Kingdom of Amaranth.

In addition, even the 100,000 remaining troops were scattered by the elaborate schemes of the Amaranth Kingdom.

The number of Imperial headquarters escorting Barrio now was at most 10,000.

"If only the power was intact….."

Bario grits his teeth and looks forward.

The men wearing black armor were sweeping across the battlefield like a storm.

‘Are all those false rumors true.......’

Bario's eyes are firmly trembling.

He didn't believe rumors that shook the continent to the end.

‘I thought it was a hoax created by Roan Lancefield and the Kingdom of Amaranth…..’

But it was clear that those who wore black armor in front of them were the Black Legion in the rumors.

Ugh.

Bario grips his teeth.

‘Just a little longer. The soldiers of the Holy See will arrive in a few moments. ’

He still had his beliefs.

Currently, the Estonian Empire has been heavily pushed from the northwest border of the Amaranth Kingdom toward the western Grain Mountains.

It was impossible to retreat any longer due to the high rise of the Grain Mountains behind you.

Fortunately, however, paladins from the Holy See were making progress not far away.

Barrio dispatched a messenger requesting the military as the situation worsened.

That was four days ago.

Besides...

‘With the Emperor's horns spread all over the place, empire soldiers will come. ’

It was another corner of faith.

"Just a little, just a little, just a little..."

Barrio stares at the battlefield in a nervous tone.

In the meantime, the Imperial soldiers are crumbling like straw.

“Your Grace, there is no turning back. ”

“It would be better if you rearranged and counteracted. ”

“No. Instead, I suggest you get inside the Grains and build a camp. ”

“Don't you know that these stupid….. Grain Mountains are very rough and full of powerful monsters? How can we build a camp in such a place? ”

The generals around you argue as they raise their voices.

Bario frowns with one hand on his forehead.

"These useless things......."

I was sad and ashamed that I had come on this expedition believing in these incompetent things.

But he didn't know.

That there is someone truly incapable.......

Then.

Kwaaaahhhhhh!

There's a noise coming from the front.

At the same time, a man with an enormous bowl suddenly rises above the heads of the relentless people.

“W-what's that monster?! ”

Bario yells in surprise.

The disputing generals also opened their eyes wide.

One of them was a stuttering horse swallowing dry stew.

“Ah, ah, maybe that's one of the Black Generals in the rumors. ”

Bario and the other generals' faces turned white.

"The Black Army alone makes for a massive yard and even a Black General!" ’

‘The Black Generals in the rumors are several times stronger than Humans.......’

‘We're done. It's over!’

The light of despair came to my eyes.

“Fig, run. Run, all of you! Stay alive! ”

Bario, who was barely holding on to the ropes of reason, finally collapsed while waiting for the enemy.

He shouts out in the street.

When the commander was distracted and disobeyed, the commanders, as well as the knights and soldiers, fell into chaos.

Otherwise, the unilaterally pushed charter completely collapsed.

The Estonian Empire is facing a terrible extinction.

“Sa, help me! ”

“Sa, help me! ”

Everyone begged for their lives.

But there was no mercy in the hands of Black Generals and Black Legions.

Squeak, squeak!

“Cough!”

“Grrrgh!"

Dozens and hundreds of soldiers lost their lives with a terrifying sound.

Everyone was desperate.

The breakthrough, I thought, was hopeless.

I thought so.

But...

Pow, pow, pow!

The sound of the mighty trumpet rocks the battlefield.

“Veteran?! ”

“Seo, is that the Holy Shrine?! ”

Bario and the generals around him opened their eyes, glowing and talking nonsense.

However, after measuring the direction in which the trumpet sounds, I frowned.

“Uh, why.......”

“Why is the trumpet sounding over there? ”

Everyone's head slowly turns back.

The gaze was towards the rear of the main troops, towards the Grain Mountains.

‘The paladins of the Holy See are located to the northeast of us. If they want to show up, they have to show up behind the Black Army, not behind us. ’

Circumstances you don't fully understand.

Later, Bario and the generals look like dirt.

“Wait, is that the enemy? ”

“Monster?”

There were no allies that could emerge from the Grains.

The brief thought of hope disappeared and a deeper despair sank down.

Pow, pow, pow!

The sound of the trumpet echoes louder and louder.

But no one cheered anymore.

Bario and several generals crouch.

Just then, the soldiers in the rear shouted in a loud voice.

“Ah, ah, we're friends! Friendly!”

The start was small.

But the voice, it spread like wildfire.

“We've got company! We've got company in the Grains! ”

A tremendous amount of cheer and shouting as the battlefield leaves.

“What? Friends? ”

Bario raises his head as he crumbles.

And so were the other generals.

Everyone looks surprised.

It was not that unexpected at all.

However, the subsequent screams of the soldiers were much more shocking and much more surprising.

“It's the Emperor's army! ”

“The Emperor himself led an army! ”

“Emperor soldiers! Emperor soldiers! ”

At the same time, a majestic flag rises from above the rear soldiers' heads.

“Ah.......”

Barrio bursts into resilience.

It was true.

The soaring flags were validly revealing the identity of the military in the Grain Mountains as a direct unit of the emperor of the Estia Empire.

“Your Majesty.......”

Bario knelt with an impressive look on his face.

But soon, a curious light appeared in both eyes.

But how did he get here? Plus, you show up from the grain mountains....... ’

It was hard to understand.

Meanwhile, an army ahead of the short-term and the Emperor approaches the front.

Several generals have fallen to their knees along Bario.

Everyone squeezed their heads together.

Bario slowly raises his head, looking at the long shadow that runs in front of his feet.

He expected his father Cenior de Estia to look down upon him with a loving look.

But...

“Hmm?! ”

Barrio's eyes are wide open.

A frightening light appeared in my eyes.

“You, you…? ”

I couldn't even speak easily.

The other generals around you slowly raise their heads to see what's going on.

“Huff!”

“Eh, eh, eh?! ”

Everyone stammers in surprise.

The embarrassed gaze led to the young man on the horse.

A young man who rides on a horse and exudes a majestic aura, he surprisingly wears the Emperor's armor.

“It's been a while.”

The young man greeted Bario with a short greeting.

Then Bario wakes up late and gets up on his feet.

“Hey, you! You don't even have the courage to wear the Emperor's armor, and you're leading the Emperor's army! You're crazy, but you're crazy! ”

He scolded the young man.

“Take off your armor and lay down your emperor! Come on, Moz! Can't you hear me? ”

Moist.

The identity of the young man who commands the emperor's army wearing the emperor's armor and leading the emperor's army was Mois-Ron Estia, the seventh emperor of the Estia.

Mois stares at Barack screaming, but does not react much.

Instead, the emperor's direct knights in golden armor, who were standing at the back, moved.

“......? ”

Bario glances at the approaching knights.

Just in time.

Phew!

The knights just punched him.

“Cough!”

Bario rolls to the ground, swallowing up the wind in an unexpected attack.

“Yi, what are you doing! ”

“How dare you punch His Highness! ”

“You're crazy, but you're crazy! ”

The generals beside you sigh with their eyes wide open.

But the knights didn't show up.

They looked at Barrio and the generals with a firm, solemn look.

“You crazy bastards! ”

Bario, who was rolling the floor, stood up and drew his sword.

A sharp sword flashes through the light.

Nevertheless, there was no change in the look on the knights' faces.

“Draw your sword. That's an order.”

Instead, Moise, who was silent, stepped out.

He looks straight at Barrio.

“What, what? Orders? ”

Bario snorts as if it were absurd.

He holds out his sword and points at Moist.

“Looks like you're really good at your job. I don't have enough impersonation of the Emperor to command me. ”

Barrio empowered his arms and legs.

It looks like it's going to rush towards Moist right now.

Mois smiles faintly at him.

“Impersonation? Ridiculous. ”

There was no more respect.

However, Bario did not realize that the base was so natural.

“I'm not imitating. ”

Mois pulls out a long baton from his waist.

“I am…..”

Powerful voice.

“Mois de Estia, the 33rd Emperor of the Estia! ”

A loud voice echoes through the battlefield.

At the same time, Moist raises the baton above his head.

An elongated stick with colorful symbols engraved on it.

At first, it looked very ordinary, but on the handle was a magic device engraved with the Emperor's coat of arms.

It was Tai Huang Bong, one of the tokens of the emperor of Estia.

“Oh, how…? ”

Barrio hardens like a statue.

He stands dumbfounded and stares at the reed that Mois is holding.

The generals who followed him, on their knees, looked each other in the eye.

What's going on? ’

"Prince Moist is the emperor? ’

"What the hell happened in the Imperial City?" ’

You didn't steal it, did you? ’

"Don't be ridiculous! Behold the Emperor's army! You really are the emperor! ’

The generals spoke silently through their eyes.

Moist smiles faintly and stabs the Tae Hwang bar back into his waist.

“Ah.......”

Then Bario breathed his last breath.

He shakes his head vigorously and looks straight at Moz.

“Did you rob the palace? ”

Faces and voices filled with disbelief.

Moist replied with a bold expression.

“I was formally endorsed. ”

Scary to the end.

“Kneel down! ”

The knights who had previously punched were cheerful and mournful.

“What, what?! ”

Bario frowns.

He could neither understand nor acknowledge the situation.

“You little bastards! Who are you telling to kneel? ”

Bario lets out a loud sigh.

“I am the emperor of the Estia Empire and on the throne of the next emperor..."

When the horse goes on like that.

Ewwwww!

The knights wield their fists again.

“Cough!”

Bario takes three or four hits and rolls the floor.

Buck, buck, buck! Puebuck!

The knights continue to kick.

It was as chaotic as if he had planned from the beginning.

Moist looks at it for a moment and shakes his right hand lightly.

At the same time.

Phew! Phew!

The trumpet sounds again.

“Charge!”

“Wipe out the Black Legion! ”

“Let's demonstrate the greatness of the newly born Estonian Empire! ”

“Hail, King Moist! ”

“Attack!”

The Imperial Army's knights and soldiers march on a massive attack with golden armor.

Unlike Barrio's soldiers who fell without hesitation, they looked very powerful and majestic.

Cham! Cham! Chang!

Countermeasures begin with the sound of iron.

“Cough!”

“Grrrgh!"

The Black Army, which was forcefully pushing the Empire troops away, began to stagger back before the sudden onslaught of the Emperor Army.

Moist smiles strangely as the tide of the world tightens unilaterally.

‘This is all thanks to you, Roan Lancefield. ’

He was genuinely amazed and amazed.

It was all thanks to Roan's cunning that Mois was able to ascend to the emperor's throne.

Roan took over the empire and threatened the emperor while the Estonian Empire and the Lucian Empire were fighting the Holy See and the Horses.

Of course, it was a false situation.

Mois avenged the castle and saved the emperor as he had originally planned.

In doing so, I uncovered the ambition of the existing Holy See and gained the support of the new Holy See.

Otherwise, Senior, who had not indulged in Bario and had taken a liking to Moz, defended the Yellow and Imperial Paths, saved the Estonian Empire, and passed the throne to Mois.

It was a very sudden and very sloppy adoption.

This was possible because Bario, the Crown Prince, and many other princes and nobles who supported him, led the Holy See and set out for the kingdom of Amaranth.

‘After ascending to the Emperor's throne, a new army was formed around the Emperor and the local militia. ’

It was to wage a real war, as Roan asked.

Lunak the Great and the Latios of the Tellian Church, not the Kingdom of Amaranth, and the Ugly and Disgusting Horsemen.

Mois marches directly into the army to deal with them.

However, due to the Grain Mountains crossing the north and south of the continent, it took too long to advance to the eastern kingdom of Amaranth.

Just then, once more, Roan's relief glows.

‘The underworld of Dwarves. ’

Mois and the new Estonian Empire went through the Grain Mountains through the underworld of Dwarves without moving around the ice to the north, avoiding the Grain Mountains.

The distance to travel for more than a month was reduced to just a few days.

That is why Moist and the new Estonian Empire forces were able to emerge behind Bario's forces.

‘The Lucian Empire must have crossed the grain mountains by now. ’

My heart was pounding.

It was something I never thought I would do.

It was Roan who planned all this and actually made it possible.

‘He is a different person from us. No....... "

Moist shakes his head, smiling.

‘God.'

I had to admit.

Now I feel great relief that I am on the same side with Roan.

Suddenly, you feel sorry for the Black General and the soldiers who are fighting fiercely in front of you.

Soon they will all fall beneath Roan's knees.

I didn't doubt it.

‘God may doubt it, but Roan Lancefield cannot doubt it. ’

Moist straightens his thoughts and draws his sword from his waist.

Grrr.

The sound of a good sound pierced my ears.

He no longer cared about the Barios.

Moist looks further away.

Ta-ah!

The horse leaps to the ground.

“Huff!”

Bario crouches, lying on the ground.

Very troubling.

The horse leaps lightly over Bario and hurls off toward the battlefield.

“Charge! Take out the enemy!" ”

Moist's voice shakes the battlefield.

“Waaaahhhh!”

“Follow the Emperor! ”

“Charge!”

The knights and soldiers are all united in pursuit of Moist.

A gigantic golden wave swells through the Black Army.

It was the beginning of a full-scale counterattack.
