I AM THE KING
CHAPTERS 16. GHOST OF THE BATTLEFIELD [2]

'It's not ideal, but it should be the next best thing.'

The place the Rose Army was heading to was a little southwest of the front line.

Although it was a pity that he could not see wherever all the battles against the monster hordes were in this area, but even so, this place was much better compared to the east.

'In addition, this place seems to be relatively safe, but it is actually no different from the front line.'

The officers of the Rose Battalion assumed that this place was isolated from the front lines, but this would change in four days. No one knows now, but monsters stormed into Pedian's Plain with a formation shaped like a horseshoe.

'The attack will begin in the north.'

With a lot of money on it.

Because of these attacks, the Corps Commanders moved their troops north.

And thanks to that, the middle part then becomes vulnerable.

Hordes of monsters swarmed through the middle, pushing from the east and then west, as if they were waiting for him.

'From then on, this place will also be the front line.'

Roan gripped his spear with strength.

'First, it is important to know, if the tactics of subjugating the monster horde from our army happened exactly the same as in my memory.'

It would be difficult if he came all the way here, and things happened differently from his memories. His eyes closed quietly.

*****

Can he call it luck?

The monster horde subjugation tactic this time, was exactly the same as in his past life.

"It's been four days since the main force moved north."

If his memories did not disappoint him, tonight; monsters would appear on the plains from the west and then also push from the east.

'If I leave it like this, the battalion furthest to the east will be annihilated.'

It is important to collect rewards, but it is also important not to let people die.

'I must announce the appearance of those monsters.'

Methods simple.

He just had to make a simple ruse.

Roan gripped his spear and started walking out of the tent.

“Extra training?”

The Voice of Commander Tane's Army.

Roan nodded slightly.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Are you also planning to run around the western plains?"

"I'm thinking of."

At Roan's reply, Tane nodded and shook her head.

“I'll go then.”

After giving a short salute, he walked in with quick steps; heading outside the camp.

Whooshing sound.

The smell of the battlefield tickled his nose.

Roan saluted the squad members with his eyes as he crossed the camp line.

He looked at the plain in front of him.

'This will also be the last time I see this sight.'

Now, hell will be unleashed in this place.

Roan took a deep breath and started running lightly.

He passed through the camp of many squads and went south of the plains.

Gosh darn.

The trees and weeds swayed, trembling slightly due to the west wind.

The refreshing aura was released by the forest.

'Those people are hidden behind this forest.'

Smart monster.

Roan spent some time around here and once he gathered enough detail, quickly returned to the camp where the Rose Army was located.

His anxious face was filled with urgency.

"Gale Squad Command!"

He did not even attempt to search for squad officers, but directly sought out the commander of the troops. After the last incident with the Slave Merchant, Gale paid more attention to Roan. It was not enough to directly call him to speak, but to even visit the 7th Corps.

<'Because of you, we're the only ones in trouble.'>

Pete scolds her a little, but in Roan's position, Gale's interest is more appreciative.

"What's going on?"

The soldiers guarding Gale's tent, frowned.

"It's an important matter."

Roan was still trying to convey the urgency of his expression.

The guards also knew about the things Roan had achieved until now, so they couldn't just ignore them.

"Wait a minute."

One of the guards entered the tent and returned.

"Lake in."

"Thank you."

Roan lowered his head and entered the tent.

"Oh! Roan. Any important business?”

Gale, who was working on his desk, asked with a bright smile.

On the other hand, Roan was still taking urgent action.

“It's monster. There are monsters on the west side of the plain.”

Gale stood up immediately.

Bang.

The wooden chair rolled behind him.

Gale looked at Roan while frowning.

“Monster? Are there really monsters in the west?”

Roan bit his lower lip and nodded.

"Yes. It seems to be a large scale one. ”

“Bu, maybe.....”.

Gale's still pouting face weighed the information he had just received.

Roan nodded and continued to say.

“They may be planning a surprise attack, aiming at our vulnerable middle.”

“They will definitely do it.”

Gale nodded and grabbed Roan's shoulder.

“You have brought me very important information. If we are careless, our troops will get a punch.”

He believed in Roan.

Because in the past few days, he had a few conversations with her, and realized how much he was an incredible soldier.

“First, I have to send a scout team and determine the exact location. Can you show them? ”

"Of course."

Roan nodded.

Gale smiled brightly and patted her shoulder.

"good. Then, I'll keep you in charge of the scout team. ”

He called out to the aides and told them to quickly gather the scouts.

'This guy again?'

'Is his skill good, or is his luck really good?'

'How can he find monsters wherever he goes?'

The officers looked at Roan with shocked and annoyed expressions.

'My face will be full of holes. With all these sharp looks on me.'

Roan smiled bitterly while lowering his head.

"We've finished assembling the scout team."

Rescue voice.

Roan bowed towards Gale and his aides while quickly leaving the tent.

'Is he a lucky guy? Really lucky guy.'

Gale looked at Roan's back with a satisfied smile.

"Then, I have to meet with the Corps Commander."

“Do you intend to make a report? Why not wait until the scout team returns with confirmation first?”

Delayed questions from the hesitant aide.

Gale shook his head.

“The report is simple. I just need to tell them about the scout team I sent, because of suspicious moves. ”

Victory and defeat in battle could also be determined with this small report.

Gale walked out of the Rose camp leaving his officers unsure.

The officers who were in the camp sighed while shaking their heads.

"Didn't he rely on the words of just one soldier?"

“In addition, he is a soldier greenhorn.”

“He's just lucky.”

Shedding complaints with their dissatisfied voices.

Amidst all that, the Lecturer simply sat there quietly with his mouth closed.

'Is he lucky? I wonder sometimes. I don't think that might be the problem.'

A faint smile appeared in his mouth.

*****

"SH."

Roan hid in the grass and placed his finger on his lips.

The scouts who followed him also lowered their bodies.

They quickly passed through the forest, reaching the plains below the hill.

Gosh darn.

The weeds that were as high as his waist swayed gently due to the blowing west wind.

A peaceful view, though.

However, Roan showed the monster while hiding his body inside the weeds.

“Antraordinary number.”

A veteran senior scout among the soldiers; benson secretly approaches.

He also found monsters while hiding in the grass.

“They may also hide until the end of the plain.”

Roan pointed to where the hill was raised.

Benson nodded and vaguely finished counting.

"At least, there will be five thousand."

Roan nodded instead of answering.

'It's true there were only five thousand of the first night's attacks. But after that, the number would increase significantly.'

The monsters were currently surrounding the Pedian Plains in the form of horseshoes.

As time went on, their numbers skyrocketed.

'That's because of those bastards from Byron Kingdom.'

Benson's voice sounded again.

"When are they going to attack?"

"It seems like tonight without a doubt."

Roan said so confidently in his voice.

Benson frowned.

"How's it?"

“They hide their bodies in the weeds without even setting up camp. That was because there wasn't much time left until the attack.”

"Then, they can attack right away?"

Benson seemed a bit busy with that evaluation.

Roan shook his head.

"They're too tired to do that."

"They're too tired?"

"Yes. They should have rushed here non-stop, only to make a surprise attack to our open center.”

That is the truth.

Just like the monster that made a ruckus in the north, this same monster was also in the north a few days ago.

“At first, it was supposed to happen in the north of the plains in this form.”

He brought his two fingers to face each other and made a horizontal shape.

Continuing with that, picking up the point where each finger touched, he bent his fingers to make a horseshoe shape.

“However, at the moment, it looks like this. The place where my fingers touched was north facing the main army of our troops, and the rest surrounded us from west to east in the form of horseshoe.”

Benson let out a low cry of admiration.

"ah! Monsters in the north rushed to the east and west.”

"Yes. Considering the time, they should have attacked here even without being able to sleep.”

Hearing Roan's words, Benson's voice became lower.

"good. Then, it was certain that they would attack tonight. We must report this to the Commander, and prepare for a surprise attack.”

Hearing his words, Roan said nothing.

'No, that's not a good method.'

His eyes explored the monsters hiding within the weeds.

A cold light could be seen in his eyes.

'What we need right now is not defense, but attack.'
