I AM THE KING
CHAPTER 22. THE UNEXPECTED BATTLE [2]

The Battle of Int Forest

This battle was one in which four troops belonging to the 7th Corps chased the monsters and fell in ambush and suffered a major defeat.

'The battle we will annihilate without being able to do anything.'

The monster ambush tactic was perfect.

However, Pierce was in one of the four forces.

'He pierced through a hole with incredible spearmanship.'

Therefore, they could avoid everything but extermination.

'Right now, four troops belonging to the 7th Corps chasing monsters are ambushed. Besides that…….'

Roan's eyes looked over the entire forest.

'In front and back there are goblins and orcs, and next to it appears ogres.'

And then, a familiar cry sounded like it was waiting for him.

“Kuoooooooo!”

As Roan expected, orcs and goblins appeared in front and back, and at the side, ogres appeared.

'I'm sure. This is the Battle of Int Forest. Something that was supposed to happen next year is happening now.'

Face freezes.

'Does the future change?'

Roan's gaze was fixed on the orcs, goblins, and ogres that came attacking.

And then, his eyes shook.

'The guy?'

Orcs running in front.

Large body with hard arm muscles.

His chest that was covered by worn armor had a deep sword scar.

'That Orc must have come to attack first in the last Int Forest Battle. He came very excited…..'

His gaze quietly subsided.

'He fell because of the tree roots.'

Orcs are attacking, losing balance and falling.

He was caught by the tree roots.

'That's the same.'

It's just that the times are different, but other than that everything is the same.

'But is that a lucky thing?'

A bitter smile appeared in Roan's mouth.

Meanwhile, the Orcs were shouting.

"Kill them!"

"Kill!"

They shouted with all their strength and swung their swords.

'This is not the time to think about other things.'

Roan bit his lower lip and gripped his spear firmly.

A fight!

The spear pierced through the air and pierced through the head of the orc.

Then, the sound of trumpet trumpets sounded on the side.

Puuuu!

“We're charging!”

"We stormed through the Orcs and out of the forest!"

Three armies have chosen to attack.

Their goal was the orc army that was at the side.

Even so, the Orcs seemed easier than the ogres.

Clangs! The clalang! Clangs!

Along with the metal clash, the three forces collided with the Orcs.

And the Rose Army that was a little further away from them was in a situation where they had to make a decision.

"Shoppers!"

Gale gritted his teeth and looked at the battlefield.

'The Ogres on the side. Orcs in front and back. Moreover, the number of Orcs was much higher.'

In addition, the three armies had already chosen to attack.

"We're also going ahead."

A quick decision.

Gale raised his sword and shouted.

"To the front! We attack through the front! ”

Roan's face, which was facing the orc that attacked him at that moment froze.

'Ah! No!' no!'

He remembered the truth he had forgotten for a moment in the unexpected battle.

"We can't go forward or backward."

In his past life, he analyzed the monster ambush tactics after the battle ended.

'And the consequence is that the front and back are sadness.'

They chose Orcs who avoided the ogres.

However, behind the Orcs, there were a large number of monsters waiting for them.

The ambush tactics behind the ambush tactics.

'The way to escape is ogre.'

They were of course an existence more ferocious and terrifying than the Orcs, but behind them, it was definitely empty.

'I must prevent us from going forward!'

Roan cut off the neck of the orc and charged towards the front line.

Fortunately, the front froze for a moment due to the attacking orcs.

"Team Commander!"

Roan called out to Gale with all his strength.

"Huh?"

Gale who was preparing to charge forward with the cavalry troops turned to a familiar voice.

'Dauk?'

He found Roan running in a hurry and pulled the reins.

"What's going on?"

Asked with a stern expression.

Roan pointed ahead.

“We can't go ahead. Better to get past the ogres. That's the way to escape.”

Hearing the urgent words, Gale frowned.

"Are you saying that we have to face the ogres now?"

"Yes. That's right."

Roan answered without hesitation.

Gale's confused.

'The number of ogres is lower than orcs, but even so there are more than 200.'

Then, Kennis rampaged at him with an angry face.

“You bastard, it seems like you can't see properly because of the services you've accumulated! Greenhorn, like you, plans to defy the orders of the Commander of the Army!”

All the other aides nodded with displeased expressions.

“In addition, you told us to face the ogre instead of the orc? You think that makes sense?"

"You told us to die!"

"See there. Ramsey's men have penetrated the Orcs. The road to escape is open!”

The aides pointed to the orc army in front and reprimanded him.

"That's all a trap."

Roan looked into Gale's eyes fixedly.

“After you pass Int Forest, a hill appears there. And it is the most adequate place to do an ambush.”

Gale's face froze..

"Are you saying that the Orcs retreated by lying and luring three troops?"

"It's so thick."

Roan nodded with a solid expression.

Gale's gaze was directed forward.

The Orcs that were pushed back were increasingly scattered.

“Contents via!”

"Resigning charges!"

"We're going out of the woods!"

Three troops pierced through the hole they made and ran out of the forest.

“Commander Team! We have to go after them! If we hesitate even for a moment, we will be stuck in the forest!”

Keniss shouted with an urgent expression.

Gale turned around to look back at Roan again.

An expression filled with certainty.

'Because of Roan, I have accumulated a lot of services up until now.'

He found the path of movement of monsters or their nest.

And didn't he get the nickname battlefield ghost?

'Should I also believe Roan's words this time?'

Then, the Lecturer facing the Orcs behind ran with his horse.

“Commander Team! Something is strange!”

He stopped in front of Gale and pointed to the ogre and orc behind.

“See those people. Even when they were successful in an ambush, they did not attack aggressively. It's just……."

Roan continued his sentence.

“They want us to advance to the front.”

The lecturer nodded with a serious expression.

Gale glared sideways and backwards and frowned.

'The words of the Lecturer are true.'

The chances of victory had already gone to the monsters.

But even so, they repeated pretending to attack and retreat.

It was a sure thing that they were planning something.

“Commander Team! We don't have time!”

“Decide quickly!”

Roan's voice and aide were heard.

Gale took a breath and made a decision.

“Ke side! We attack through the ogres that are on the side!”

At that moment, Keniss's face wrinkled.

“Commander Team! There was already a way to escape in front! So why do we have to face ogr...”.

“Stop!”

Gale shook his hand and stopped him.

“If we are late, all the troops will be in danger! The one in front, turn the horse's head. This is to the side! Piercing sides!”

“Kuh.”

Keniss could no longer speak and shut her mouth.

Reddened face and cold look.

He bit his lower lip and glared at Roan.

'Whoa. I've been marked correctly.'

Roan evaded the view of the Keniss and after bowing towards Gale he returned to the 42nd Army.

Puuuuuu!

The sound of trumpet trumpet which means the charge hit their ears.

"Through the ogre on the side!"

"We attack through the sides!"

"Run west and east!"

The aides sent Gale's orders to the soldiers.

"Shoppers! To face the ogre!”

"Why do we abandon the Orcs and go face the ogres?"

The soldiers let out an uncomfortable sound with wrinkled faces, but they only moved as ordered.

Roan made a request to the members of the 42nd Army who were at the front.

"Remember. Our goal is not to kill the ogre.”

Sharp eyes and an expression filled with resolution.

“Our goal is charging through. We just need to penetrate the ogres and get out of the forest.”

Hearing his words, all the members of the 42nd Army nodded.

“Then, let's meet after we survived.”

"Yes!"

A loud reply.

Puuuu!

Just in time, the trumpet sounded.

"Resigning charges!"

Roan pointed his spear forward and charged over.

Behind him, the 42nd Army followed.

“Waaaaaa!”

"Penetrate!"

“Giant pieces! Die!"

Along with the screams, the Rose Troop attack began.

The goal is the ogres.

“Kuooooong!”

The ogres let out a shout towards the invading Rose Army. The unexpected battle, no, the expected battle started like that.
