I AM THE KING
CHAPTER 13. SPEAR TRAVIAS [4]
"Are you kidding me now?"
The lecturer became upset.
He remembered Roan's words well.
<'This flow Abyl. Although it is a stream, it is wide and deep enough, so it is impossible to cross.'>
He must have said that it was impossible.
But now he says they have to get through it.
“You know that we have no time to joke, right?”
Even at this moment, the Slave Merchant was still approaching Trum Village.
"Of course."
Roan got off the horse while at the same time he replied.
The lecturer looked directly into Roan's eyes.
"Then did you really say that we were going to cross this river?"
"Yes." Yeah."
At that moment, the faces of the Lecturer and the cavalry troops furrowed anxiously.
Although it was calm, this flow was clearly deep and wide.
If they did not have a floating bridge, then it would be impossible.
"It's only now that he's making trouble."
The lecturer gritted his teeth.
'If we turn around to chase them now, won't we be able to catch them?'
His head was confused.
At that moment, Roan grabbed control of his horse and sailed the river.
Rakings.
He moved along the banks of the river and stopped in one place.
The lecturer looked at that and frowned.
"What are you doing now?"
Roan replied in a calm and imposing voice.
"We're going to cross this bridge."
"bridge? Where is the bridge?”
The lecturer frowned.
Roan sailed further into the river.
Rakings.
Water filled his waist in an instant.
"Five years ago, a bridge used to be here, where I stand now."
Lecturer's face flushed.
"Are you telling me that we have to cross the vanishing bridge?"
Roan shook his head.
"The bridge is still here."
A confident voice, and an impressive face.
The lecturer frowned.
"What does that mean?"
Roan smiled faintly and replied.
“The bridge still exists. It's just that the water in this river rises.”
"Well….."
At that moment, a low cry of understanding flowed from the mouth of the Lecturer, and the other cavalry troops.
Roan continued to speak.
“This bridge is below the surface of the water. But fortunately it's still fine. If you walk right along here, you will be able to cross this river safely.”
He pointed to the river Abyl that was flowing quietly.
The lecturer and cavalry troops looked at Roan with shocked expressions.
'How did he know about this?'
'Is this a place he has been to before?'
'Even if this was the case, how could he possibly know about the bridge that was underwater?'
Many questions arose among the gathered soldiers.
Roan shrugged and pushed his horse across the river.
"Are you going to stand there?"
"Aah!"
Only then did the Lecturers and the cavalry troops control themselves, quickly descending from their horses.
They gained control and stood in front of the river bank.
“The bridge is very slippery because it is in the water. And there might even be some broken parts. You have to tap on it with your spear tip and cross it slowly. ”
Roan moved the spear in his right hand.
Everyone swallowed dry saliva and nodded.
"Then I will lead."
Roan took a deep breath and waded further across the underwater bridge.
Zip.
The surface of the underwater stone bridge felt slippery under his feet.
He tapped on the submerged bridge in front of him with the tip of a spear, and slowly moved his legs. And the water soon reached his waist.
'It's okay. It was before, even reaching my chest.'
Roan took a deep breath.
'No need to be nervous. You've already passed it once.'
17 Years from now, Roan crosses this undersea bridge with someone he considers to be his friend.
'Basic bastard.'
That bastard, he considered a friend.
Now that he thought of her face, he began to curse her.
'The one who took Travias' spear from me.'
Roan had made many wrong choices in his past life, but the worst of them was to entrust the spear to someone he considered a friend.
'The bastard brought this spear to the Kingdom of Byron, and received the title of Count.'
That person roamed the battlefield with a spear, and received the nickname called Ghost Spear.
'Even so, he was no match for Pierce, the so-called God of Spears.'
Thinking of it like this, he once again felt Pierce's power.
Rakings.
The water reaching his chest swept away his mind.
'Let's focus on crossing this river.'
Roan gathered himself together again and waded through step by step.
Rakings. Rakings.
The west wind, which blows fresh across the river; gives rise to small waves.
Roan, and a hundred cavalrymen anxiously crossed the Abyl river, discipline finally overcoming nervousness.
If someone who did not know about this saw it, they would think that the Abyl river was really shallow.
'When I reach the other side it's over.'
Those who were crossing the river felt that they were on the rope of death.
The alarming time flowed slowly.
Stepped over.
Roan was the first to reach the riverbank.
Dry up.
His body was completely soaked.
Phew.
The war horse shook its head and body.
Water drops splashed everywhere.
“Kuh.”
Roan turned and shook his hand.
Meanwhile, the Lecturer and the cavalry troops slowly reached the riverbank.
They are as wet as him.
The lecturer quickly got on his horse, and gained control.
“Let's see the view next time.”
"Yes." Yeah."
Roan answered briefly and after he got on his horse, he started riding in front.
Dududu.
The sound that shook the earth.
The cavalry took control and bit their lower lip.
"It's over now."
"We caught up with those bastards."
They attached their chests to the horse and kicked it.
Dududu.
A hundred cavalrymen raced towards the village of Trum.
*****
"Wow, the tree is so thick."
"Yes. Not even sunlight passes through it.”
Joey and Luce travel through a narrow forest road, and examine their surroundings.
It was so quiet that it even became gloomy.
They took control and looked back.
Fifty plus allies followed behind them with their horses.
Joy and Luce's gazes moved beyond their allies.
"Hehe."
A laugh suddenly exploded on its own.
The ones that are tied up are like wrapped fish.
The straps are fastened tightly to the wrist, and the waist follows to the next person.
And like that, the people who were tied walked with their heads bowed.
Even at first glance, the numbers exceeded hundreds.
“We have to come to this region in the past.”
"Yes. There is no security, or hunters. Kukuku.”
Joey and Luce looked at each other with a laugh.
They were the chief Slave Merchants operating in the western part of the mountainous area.
“It hurts to face Hunters in the western part of the mountains.”
Joey smacked his lips and shook his head.
The Hunters' temperament in the mountainous area was extremely ferocious, and their skills were excellent, so it wasn't easy to deal with them.
Therefore, every time they enslaved people, they fled at a loss.
In the end, Joey and Luce left the mountainous area, and ventured through the plains, which were in the middle-north of the Kingdom.
“If we catch this many slaves at any time, we will become rich in no time.”
“Kukuku. Let's buy a place to stay in the capital.”
They talk like that and continue to guide the horse.
Clop. Clop.
The sound of the horn broke the silence of the forest.
Next to the narrow forest road, a dense forest opened.
The forest is blowing in the wind.
Phew.
One of the horses of the Slave Merchant swayed, shook his head and made a rude agitated movement.
"Why are horses like this all of a sudden?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Joey and Luce passed through the forest and patted their horses on the head.
Then, the bushes that were not swaying with the wind trembled violently.
Paat!
Inside the bush, a long spear spread out.
Squirm!
“Kuh!”
“Ugh!”
Many Slave Merchants riding horses became impaled on the side and fell.
Whine!
The horses that became frightened raised their front legs and nagged agitatedly happened.
"Ap, what is it!"
"What's going on!"
Joey and Luce looked back and shouted.
The shang!
The remaining Slave Merchants drew their swords from their waists.
A different group emerged from the bushes, as if they were waiting for him.
They rushed in and formed a defensive line between the Slave Merchants, and the ones that were tied up.
"Who? Who's…….."
The people who were tied gasped in small voices.
The person in front of these people smiled brightly and replied.
“We are from the Rose Army, 7th Corps of Rinse Kingdom. We came to save you!”
The owner of the voice filled with strong determination was the Lecturer.
"Aah!"
"We, we're saved!"
The captured people smiled happily and shouted.
On the other hand, Joey and Luce's faces wrinkled.
'Shoppers! People from the Kingdom!'
'Where did they come from?'
Joey frowned, and moved one hand silently.
He felt the bow that was in the saddle with his fingertips.
'I shot an arrow and escaped.'
The 50 subordinates would buy time for him.
Handholds.
Handholds.
Joey picked up the arrow, and quickly pulled the bow.
At that moment, a crushing sound rang out near his ears.
It vibrates!
What a terrible sound.
The flying speed at which the spear pierced Joey's head.
“Huk!”
Luce who was beside him, looked at Joey's shattered head.
Cleave.
At the same time, another group appeared after splitting the bushes.
"Gee. Fortunately, it's about.”
A teenager who laughed after sighing shortly.
He glanced at the dumbfounded Luce, and took out a spear from Joey's head.
Destroys.
Joey's head, which was still half of its shape, was completely destroyed.
"Again or surrender?"
A young voice, as if he was secretly asking.
'Any decision will be made by the Adjutant Lecturer.'
The teenager then smashes Joey's head with the tip of his spear.
That was Roan.
