I Became the First Prince
303. 81. Emperor of the millennium, Emperor of the millennium (3)
400 years ago, the Empire introduced troops to draw the Royal Army, led by blood, deeply into its territory.
But even then, it didn't completely empty all the nodes.
It was too urgent, too drastic.
“You must be a flock of wild beasts fleeing the wildfire. ”
I'm wrapped around my head, and I hear someone kicking my tongue.
At that moment, I hardened as I was.
“No way...”
I turned my head.
I saw the face of Montpellier, who was in the corner of the conference room looking at my eyes.
Bang, bang, bang.
My heart started beating like crazy.
Behind my back, I feel a chilly hand sweeping through my back.
“Your Majesty? What else can I...”
Montpellier retreats to dance with a dull, white face.
I'm staring at him like that.
Jaw.
Someone grabbed my shoulder.
“Energy is unstable. Sink your heart.”
I was an outsider.
The meeting was suspended.
“How can you be so unfamiliar? What's with the sweat? ”
“Again! Again! You don't know how to get wet, you're too much! ”
“Your Majesty, how is your face so bad? ”
King, Vincent, and Arwen alternately give me words of concern.
“Your Majesty, I will take you. ”
Carls and Adelia raised me with a pale face.
I shook my hands a little and sprinkled them.
I looked at the map on the table.
The citadel and fortress are painted with a large number of flags that symbolize the kingdom's legions.
Without the flag of Burgundy, only the kingdom's.
“What about the Dothrin Empire? ”
I squeezed at the situation on the southern front.
"You're not different from this one either. With the Imperial Army's sudden withdrawal of its troops, Dothrin's concubines are guessing that the Imperial Army is not trying to use the citadel as a grave, as they did. ”
Someone from the staff stood up and answered my question.
The southern front is also where the Imperial Army hid its tracks.
I tightened my heart.
Into the heart.
Please, I hope the thought in my head is absurd.
But the more ominous it was, the bigger it became.
A horrible fantasy appeared in my head. I repeated it before disappearing.
I put it on the table.
I took a deep breath.
“What about the knight of the closest spear? ”
It was only after a short breath that I took my mouth off.
“A squad of spearheaded Knights is stationed in the citadel, four days away. ”
I lifted my head and saw the king.
“Send a messenger now. ”
The king who was looking at me worryingly asked me why.
What's going on with the Great Joint? What are you going to say when you send a messenger?
“We need to get all the troops out of the front line right now. ”
“So what the hell. ”
“The Imperial Army did not leave the citadel to attract allies. ”
He looked straight at the king full of questions and said,
“I really ran away. ”
The king immediately poured out a question.
"Run. What the hell did you run from? Do they want to say that they were afraid of running away? ”
I shook my head.
They didn't run away because they were afraid of their allies.
“They are.”
I pointed to a point on the map by hand.
A long time from the front.
Somewhere once the Empire's navy and countless armies were stationed, but now they are barren.
“I fled from a disaster that made the South blunt. ”
It was the realm of the flower dragon.
All of a sudden, I couldn't hear a word.
In front of those who still see me with a confused face, I explained the inevitability.
I think the Empire Army intends to use the Flower Dragon.
Vincent frowned at the impression that he didn't understand.
“Did they tame the flower dragon? ”
“If they had, they wouldn't have rushed me or my troops. ”
“So, what the hell kind of way to get that flower dragon south here? ”
I heard Vincent questioning everywhere.
I raised my hand and stopped their mouths.
“Flower dragons don't move when they're dizzy. ”
Then he continued to explain.
“But there are times when such a dragon moves. ”
I turned my head.
Montpellier, who was rolling his eyes, trembled angrily at my gaze.
“Right when my territory was invaded. ”
People stare at Montpellier in vain.
“No way...”
That reminds me of how Montpellier lost his base.
“If you have enough bait, it's not as impossible to move a flower dragon. ”
It wasn't easy to say, it was actually crazy.
There is nothing left in the land where the flower dragon was swept away.
Man-made citadels, fortresses, and cities became ashes, and all that remained was a barren land that would not be abandoned after decades.
I wish a madman in the world could do that to my country.
I can't even figure out how many lives to lure this flower dragon to the far front.
Nevertheless, I was convinced.
The sudden retreat of the Imperial Army has absolutely nothing to do with the Flower Dragon.
The question was how to explain my judgment to others who depended on my instincts.
It was worthless.
“The Burgundians really don't understand. ”
Vincent said heavily.
“The wood of the Holy Army, it was madder than my brother. ”
The king sighed.
“I'll send a messenger to all the allies on the front line right away. ”
“I'll take Dothrin's side. ”
The marshals and other army chiefs commented on the retreat of the army.
I panicked.
I had no reason to take my opinion so easily.
“Do you believe this? ”
I asked because it felt futile.
“So that's a lie? ”
“No, it's real. ”
“So what's the problem? ”
This was Vincent.
“Hurrah. The Dothrin Kingdom will not easily give up the land it once occupied because it has enough troops. ”
“I'll go to Dothrin. ”
This was the crew and Malkoy.
“Almost a handful of ashes without knowing anything. ”
This was a king.
“What else did you think of it? ”
“I have to be careful not to have fallen. ”
Eli and Arwen also heard a word, and Adelia and Carls were just looking at me with their eyes.
I got tickled for some reason.
He kept saying that his mouth was flushed.
I didn't have to kick that Montpellier to hide my guts.
“Boom! Why again! Evil!”
The meeting ended in the screams of the noisy Montpellier.
* *
Malcolm and the Knights of the Crew went out to search for the Knights of Spear, and the Rangers were scattered south and north to deliver the retreat order.
Army commanders, including Arwen and Eli, remained on standby in case of an unknown enemy attack.
“Flower Dragon...”
I heard a loud voice as I watched the troops of the busy Citadel move.
I saw the face of an outsider who was distracted by the thought.
I couldn't say a word because I didn't know what the idea was.
“Don't even dream. ”
The outsider shook his body.
“Who said that? ”
I warned the audacious outsider once again.
“Even if the fairies rush into the streets, they won't be able to. Remember, you're not the one to ask questions. ”
“Ho. It's a strong crab to see you talk like that. ”
I didn't hear much of what I said.
“If you see a strong opponent, you have a very bad body. How could a man be so determined? Aren't you old enough to think about other people? Please, have some iron. ”
I had my tongue kicked in its immature shape, and I felt a tingling glance.
It was Adelia and Carls.
I was strangely disturbed by the look in my eyes, as if it were outrageous.
“Why. Well. ”
So I asked, and I came back only to answer that it was nothing.
I saw the troops move busy again, no matter what.
At that time, I heard the sound of the army shrinking behind my back.
I didn't expect that to come out of His Majesty's mouth. I don't usually know what my actions are. Now I understand other people's minds a little.
“I can hear you! ”
And he cried out, and he could not hear any disturbing words in his ears.
It's been three days.
The troops, who were busy moving, were preparing to leave the citadel one day.
The nervousness of laughing at expectations.
“I saw a duck that sent supplies to the rear in advance so that I could back down at any time. ”
The marshal talked to me about when he came.
Glad to hear it in the midst of nervousness.
There was another encouraging news.
The Rangers, who had been scattered north and south on the messenger's mission, returned in deception and told me that the other citadel was also ready to retreat smoothly.
Some troops have already begun to move towards Brien's Co-Production.
I felt a little lighter.
Only the Dothrin Empire Army would withdraw in time to add to it.
“Malkoy's gone, so I'll be good. ”
He was a hasty man, so I believed you would hear good news soon.
“Move the troops! ”
After a moment of thought, the battalion began to move.
I also followed them.
Then I looked back.
Giant citadel, fertile plains.
Maybe the next time you come, you'll be completely different.
I looked to the east rather than to the vast land that might have become the kingdom's.
While I was on my way, I stopped several times and looked at the southern sky.
When the troops stopped and relaxed, they set up a barracks in the southernmost part of the country and slept there.
It was night and day, and I was not lazy to guard the sky.
In the worst case, let me welcome the flower dragon first.
“I can make some time. ”
I speak to myself unconsciously, and then my knights appear patrolling the garrison.
“You're still out of your mind. ”
Among them was Vincent, who was unhappy because he couldn't whisper when he had a gap.
“I won't say long. If you act like you did last time, I won't stand still. Looking at your face, I think you're wondering what to do if you don't stand still. ”
“What did I do...”
“Ha. When a real person goes through a big deal, you have to learn something. How can you just think about yourself like that? You really need to watch me burst into thin air to get my intuition out. Why don't you think of someone else like that? ”
Vincent's nagging, which started with saying not to talk long, ended only after I was completely bored.
“Anyway, keep in mind. What you need to do is not buy yourself some time to stay behind, but rather run to the writing of Bryan. Do you understand?”
Vincent only went back after Gear heard my answer.
“Tsk. Pick up some iron. ”
The outsider, who stood still and watched me suffer from Vincent, approached me quietly and stretched his voice upside down.
In the meantime, the allies continued to move.
And a week later, I was able to get to the plains where Brien Co-writing was seen.
Tension opened, and I was relieved.
The march of the past week has been an extraordinary experience for me.
At the same time, it was also an experience I would never want to go through again.
Running away without being chased by something was something I had never imagined before.
I wasn't afraid of the flower dragon.
If only in the past it had been a priority to carry on after the struggle, it would now have weighed a little more on the other side.
“What do you see? Do you have any complaints? ”
Vincent frowns and grumbles as he looks at Vincent and the other knights without even knowing.
“Where did you treat the prince? ”
“Did you know that you are a prince? I thought you'd be a knight if I had another chance. ”
The prince will treat you like a prince.
Vincent, who became dismayed after hearing me say that I would stay alone and make time, said, "If I open my mouth, I will make a shave."
I'm afraid I'm going to live somewhere.
While listening to Vincent's nagging, an ally came to the gates of Brien.
The gate that Arwen smashed was a bit ugly, but it was repaired firmly in its own way. The dialyzers and various defensive weapons stationed to the south were also facing west and south.
That's when you're all set.
I once again sighed with relief.
The allies who were stationed at the other citadel will be ready soon, but they will be released shortly after Dothrin arrives.
Everything was smooth.
It wasn't until the whole son-in-law trembled anxiously.
Then I was walking over the wall.
As always, I was about to turn around the wall and go back to where I was.
Bourgeois.
Suddenly, my vision was distorted.
As I was about to go down the wall, I hardened.
I twist my neck stiff and immobile, turning my head.
Until a little while ago, the rangers were staring at me with a smiling face.
Nothing, just a sacamal void.
Beyond that, there was something far away.
There are terrible monsters that break the laws of the world with mere existence.
I tightened my heart.
Aggravation.
Manah rose up to me and spread all over.
At the same time.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I heard a clear cry from a distant place.
It was the roar of a king who was born strong, ruled but not ruled.
It was a dragon peer.
* * *
As time went by, everything came back to its original state.
It has been a long time since the roar of the dragon was heard in the south, somewhere far away.
A horrible presence also disappeared one day. I looked at the rangers on the wall.
Blurred eyes, blurry gestures. Pale complexion.
The rangers who burned the speculation in front of the Warlord were shrugging their shoulders before.
I energized and spread it all around.
The spirit of the oppressed rangers is stuttered and the shadow of the Pharaohs has been cast deep.
That's when the blurry faces of the rangers bloom.
Thank goodness.
The flower dragon was so far away that it could not be measured.
I was lucky.
But it wasn't the Dothrin Empire.
After that night when the pharyngeal dragon flaunted my existence, Malkoy, who had left for the south, returned.
The weary face, pale as it was, stood before me and the king, and declared the failure of the mission.
“The Southern Front... has completely collapsed. ”
He said he was in as much a hurry as he could, but he couldn't make it to the Southern Front. He had already swept through the Southern Front once.
That night, eight of Dothrin's 22 regular troops melted down without a trace.
“Also...”
After a moment of hesitation, he added that some of the Knights of Chang and Prince Dolosis Dotmund were also with them.
