I AM THE KING
CHAPTER 23. THE UNEXPECTED BATTLE [3]

The battle was fierce.

The ogres who were at the side and the orcs who were at the front and rear repeated pretending to fight and retreat and when the rose army began to attack to the side, the, they started a fierce counterattack.

A form that seemed to say that to them.

"Don't face them head-on!"

“Penetrate them!”

"Gathering!"

The thing that the Rose Army wanted was to penetrate the ogre army and get out of the Int Forest.

The cavalry attempted to attack at high speed.

Dudududu.

Some muscular horses clashed with the giants.

Kukung kung.

Then, the ogres shook and fell down.

The infantry raised their respective weapons and either stabbed or slashed while advancing.

And among them, the 42nd Squad was also there.

"Whistles!"

Roan twisted his thumb in a twisting manner along with the whistle and pointed forward and back.

'Create a circuit along the objective and execute the attack as quickly as possible.'

Austin and the squad members analyzed the sign and moved quickly.

The consistent movement.

Therefore, they could pass through 5 ogres instantly.

If they kept this, the 42nd Army would be able to get out of the Int Forest alive.

Then, Roan's face wrinkled.

"It's blocked."

The troops in front were strapped and unable to move, and the escape route was also blocked.

"Kill them!"

"Kill!"

At that moment, the Orcs and the goblin troops who were at the side approached them.

'Shoppers.'

Roan bit his lower lip and made a signature on his back.

"Penetrate! Forward!"

"Yes!"

Pierce, who was looking around with a nervous expression, ran towards him with a loud answer.

'Initially, you should have been able to handle three or four ogres alone.'

But of course, he was talking about what should happen next year.

'Even if it happens early, you should have no problem dealing with one or two of them. Besides, if it doesn't kill them……..'

If it only cut the leg muscles of the ogres, he would have no problem fighting against the five of them.

If it was Pierce, he should at least be able to do that much.

Roan wanted to believe that.

"Penetrating. You'll stand in front with me. We attack while slashing the legs ogre.”

“I, me? No. I?"

Pierce answered without a title of honor and clenched his fists.

Roan gripped his spear and nodded.

"Yes. If it was you, you could do it. ”

Fire appeared in his eyes.

He looked into Pierce's eyes.

"I believe you."

At that moment, Pierce felt his heart tremble violently.

'He believes me?'

There was not even the slightest bit of hesitation in Roan's eyes.

Eyes that did not doubt him in the least.

'He believed that I would definitely be able to do it.'

He put strength on his shoulders.

Roan, that was his training partner and now is his boss.

Roan believed in him completely.

The feeling that one corner of his heart was getting proud.

'I must act according to his expectations.'

He put strength in his grasp.

Pierce closed his mouth and nodded.

At that moment, a faint smile appeared in Roan's mouth.

'true. You just need to fix that soft heart.'

He took a deep breath, and after he opened his left hand he tilted it towards the back and front.

Charging sign.

A fight!

Roan ran in front.

Pierce followed him with a somewhat strange face of his color, and the remaining members of the 42nd Squad also followed his back.

A fight! the piece!

Roan and Pierce's spears slashed through the air.

Sharp ends and spear blades slashed the ogre's legs.

The skills of the two people were clearly visible to the eyes.

Pierce possessed exceptional spearmanship polished with extraordinary talent and senses.

Compared to him, Roan's spearmanship lacked unnecessary movement and possessed ferocious strength.

A fight!

The spear both slashed the ogre's legs.

“Kuooooong!”

Explosions.

The Ogre fell to his knees with a cry.

The cavalrymen threw the rope at his neck as if they were waiting for him.

Tighten.

As the muscular horses pulled the ropes, the ogre's huge body fell to the ground.

Swiiiish!

pubobig!

Continuing with that, the arrow of the archer was stuck in his body.

It was a very good combination, but Roan was already looking for what would happen next.

"Penetrate! Move to the left! Ghost Troops! To center!”

That order he shouted with all his might.

Pierce and the squad members moved as if they were one body.

A fight!

The spear slashed through the air once again.

"Wow. The people of the 42nd Squad are amazing!”

“If they save it, they will really become the Ghost Squad!”

For the actions of the 42nd Squad, the other squad members also watched in amazement.

And among the troops, they looked towards Roan and Pierce who were facing the ogre in front.

"Don't you think Commander Roan's skills are getting better by the day?"

"They said that the two were acquaintances of the training camp."

Amazed voices.

Then, Roan who faced the giants and inspected the battlefield shouted with all his strength.

“Host Squad! Backward! Spreading!"

His left hand was shaking urgently.

Austin and the members of the 42nd Squad quickly retreated and destroyed the formation.

The explosion!

At that moment, two big clubs were stuck to the ground.

The giants who were at the side were eyeing the 42nd Squad and twirling their wands.

'Did he face the ogres and check the situation on our side!'

Austin put on a surprised expression and looked at Roan.

“Kuooooong!”

Then, the cries of the ogres hit their ears.

Phantoms.

A sharp and heavy sound that tore through the air.

A huge club cut through the air and destroyed the soldiers.

Puuk!

“Grr!”

“Kukh!”

Many soldiers bounced after they were hit by clubs.

Unfortunately, they did not have an army commander like Roan.

"Don't be afraid and see through!"

“Cavalry soldiers! Watch for ogre!”

Gale and his aides stood at the forefront and cheered the soldiers.

In this situation, it clearly showed that the Rose Army was indeed good.

Even the adjutants who blamed Roan for being trapped, when the battle began, they started fighting alone to at least save one more soldier.

"Get out of their attack range!"

“Yang in front! Don't stop as you please! The soldiers behind will be in danger!”

"Resigning charges! Charge fees!"

Commanding and repeating the command, the shout became jumbled.

“Kuooooong!”

The cries of the ogres shook the battlefield.

The battle became fierce like that.

******

“Huu. Huo. Hu.”

“Huk. huk. Huk.”

Rough breathing could be heard.

The Rose Army soldiers sat astride the hill and sighed violently.

The situation where saying a single word was difficult.

Even so, a faint excitement could be seen on the faces of the soldiers.

'We survived!'

'We survived!'

They shook off the Orcs and goblins after breaking through the ogres.

As they did so, 200 soldiers were killed, but many more survived.

What was surprising was that no one died from the 42nd Army.

'Well.'

Roan sat on the ground and looked at the rested members of the army.

They were all drenched in sweat and had many wounds.

And among them, Pierce's appearance was extremely poor.

"Penetrate."

"Yes." Yeah."

Pierce, who took a breath, stood up from that place.

Roan smiled faintly and grabbed both of his shoulders.

"You did well. Because of you, all squad members can survive.”

“Commander of Troops also has difficulties.'

Pierce smiled faintly and lowered his head.

The eyes of the squad members who saw the two of them were filled with astonishment and admiration.

'Excellent.'

"I can't believe they're only 18."

'These two people would definitely become commanders whose names would be spread across the continent.'

Roan, who did not know that the squad members were thinking about this, hit Pierce on the shoulder and turned his head.

The place where his eyes were directed was the place where Gale and his aides rested.

"There's still something to do."

First of all, the reason why he proposed charging through the left and not from the front and back was because there was a way to escape but also for one more reason.

'We must rescue the three troops who chose to attack through the front line.'

The three troops that came out of the Int Forest met an army of monsters on a hill.

'And their number is about 5 thousand.'

The total army of Ramsey Troop, Ultimate Troop, and Grayum Troop is almost 2 thousand.

If he left them like this, they would all be annihilated.

'At first, Pierce showed incredible skill and made his way to escape………'

But now, Pierce was next to him, and not there.

'The current number of soldiers of the Rose Army is 600.'

Even if they went to rescue, they would not be able to do much.

'But if it's that method .......'

Roan's eyes are shining.

5 Years from now, a Tron Academy student located in the Miller Capital presents one report to the royal headquarters.

In the report, an analysis of the monster ambush tactics, and the incompetent countermeasures of the 7th Corps forces were written.

From the contents of the report, it was clear that the 7th Corps Commander and the generals were all unhappy and opposed it vehemently.

The student who got the reaction because of the report he made, only mentioned one strategy.

The commander and general who saw the strategy all kept their mouths shut.

Evaluate the commanders who analyze the strategy.

The king who knew this too late spread the reports made by the academy students to the soldiers and corps who were at the forefront.

And Roan could also read the report.

'If it was a strategy written in the report, we might be able to save three troops.'

A smile appeared on his face.

He was not worried if the strategy in the report would fail or not.

'Because this strategy is the first artwork of that person.'

Academy students who make .

Ian Phillips is a genius strategist.
