I AM THE KING
CHAPTER 4. THE FIRST BATTLE [2]

Gulp down.

Her apple shook violently.

'Two? No. gabe. Three.'

Roan lowered his posture while he was still leaning against the tree.

Whooshing sound.

The leaves were blown off by the wind, rustling on the ground.

Chwee. Chwee.

The screams of the goblins were getting closer.

Sneakily.

Roan slowly unsheathed his short sword.

It was an old and dull short sword.

However, that was enough to complete this task.

Chwee.

A voice sounded near him.

'Now!'

Roan quickly turned his body.

And then he saw a goblin right in front of his eyes.

honey!

The goblin fell in confusion when he saw Roan suddenly appear.

Roan did not let this opportunity pass and quickly stabbed the goblin.

Poked.

The short sword was quickly thrust into the goblin's chest.

Chwee.

Then the goblins fell to the ground.

honey! honey!

The goblins who were behind the first one became enraged over the sudden death of their comrade.

The monsters rushed towards him.

Attractively.

Roan jerked the short sword that was on the goblin's chest and threw it.

Thumped.

The goblins that ran forward could not dodge and fell to the floor.

It was the ideal opportunity.

Roan quickly rushed towards them and stabbed forward with his spear.

The spear stabbed the head of the goblin in succession.

Chwee.

He killed three goblins in an instant.

But even so, his expression was not good.

"It's a disaster."

His hand hurt.

Just because he used his spear twice, his skin seemed to peel off.

Moreover, he did not even have an ounce of strength behind him.

'I really became a beginner.'

Roan smiled bitterly and picked up the items the goblins had.

"I'm sorry, but I have to take your neck."

His hands move at the same time.

Cut out.

The head of the goblin rolled on the floor.

Roan tied the dirty and coarse goblin hair and grabbed it.

Trickling. Trickling.

Green blood flowed from where his neck was cut.

And then the leaves of the mountain trembled violently.

'mmm!'

The wind is the same.

'That's them!'

If it wasn't for the wind, then only one option would be left.

The other goblins came down to look for their comrades.

Roan quickly ran towards the exit of the canyon.

honey! honey!

Angry voices from the goblins could be heard behind him.

But it was impossible for them to pursue him.

He had already come out of the canyon and had entered the plains.

He could see the Rose Army from a distance.

Roan shook the thing in his hand.

“That's the goblins! Goblin is waiting to ambush!”

He shouted loudly but no one heard him.

He's still too far away.

*****

Mason, who was waiting for Roan to return, frowned when he saw Roan coming out of the canyon.

"Why is that bastard like that?"

It seemed like he was shouting something, but he could not hear it.

"And what's that thing he's holding?"

It was something that looked like a watermelon.

“He seems to be picking local fruit from the forest.”

The other scouts who were next to him spoke in a brash tone of voice.

Mason looked at him as if it was stupid.

However, as Roan approached, Mason's face froze.

Because his screams sounded clearer than before.

“That's the goblins! Goblin!”

Only then did he realize that it was not the watermelon he was holding, but the head of a goblin.

Mason stared at the other scouts with a dumbfounded facial expression.

'This is really a goblin?'

Especially Mason, who was several times more shocked than the others.

'For monsters to appear in Ale territory! That never happened until now!”

He shook his head as he opened his eyes suddenly.

He ran towards the troops that were following behind them.

"Go, goblin!"

He shouted with all his strength.

At that moment, Gale, who was cautious because of the Lecturer, shouted as her face beamed.

"What?! Is this true?!"

"He! Look over there!"

Mason pointed at the canyon with his finger.

Everyone's gaze switched.

They saw Roan running while his hair fluttered in the wind.

And a faint voice could be heard.

“That's goblin. Goblin is waiting in ambush.”

Gale's gaze sharpened.

“The object in his hand was the head of the goblin.”

His right hand was stretched out toward the sky.

“Team prisoners. Battle formation.”

At that moment, all the adjutants shouted out orders with all their might.

“Custodial troops! Everyone, battle formation!”

"Fighting formation!"

The adjutants shouted and they each headed to their respective squads.

Gale was still staring at the canyon calmly amidst the noise.

“Lecturer.”

"Yes!"

The lecturer, who was nearby, approached him.

Gale pointed towards Roan.

“Bring that soldier. I need to hear his story.”

"Yes!"

After the Lecturer answered like that, he made an eye gesture at Mason.

"Yes! I'll take him!”

Mason answered nervously and moved his legs.

'Berdevan. Am I the only one to be punished?'

His face showed a little nervousness.

He made fun of the man who said he was going to investigate.

He was absolutely certain that there would be no monsters

'A goblin!'

But the man he made fun of appeared with the head of a goblin.

Mason bit his lower lip.

'I need to persuade him well, so that he doesn't say anything unnecessary.'

His feet that ran towards Roan, accelerated

*****

'Pants pants.'

Roan felt like he was dying.

He ran with all his might for fear that the Rose Army would enter the abyss, so his chest seemed to be about to explode.

He wanted to rest for a while after telling them: that the goblins were waiting to ambush, but he had no time to do so.

"The commander of Gale's army is looking for you."

Mason grabs Roan's wrist.

In the end, Roan could not even catch his breath properly and was dragged towards Gale.

At that moment, Mason whispered in a low voice.

“Forget everything I told you back then. Understand? Actually, I also think that there is a great possibility for an ambush. So I'm responsible for that and send you to the canyon. Huh huh? Right?"

Roan did not even have the strength to answer back.

Mason became anxious when he saw that Roan had not shown any reaction.

“Are you listening to me? Huh huh? Answer me."

"Gee. Understood."

Roan sighed deeply and nodded.

Mason then closed his mouth.

The two of them moved quickly and soon arrived in front of Gale.

"Oh! Comehere!"

Excessive doses without need.

Roan slightly ignored him and bowed towards Gale.

"What's in the canyon?"

He came straight to the point.

"It's goblin robbers."

"Numbers?"

“At least there are a thousand on the left side of the mountain where I searched. Normally, thinking about this when you set up an ambush, you would have another power on the other side of the mountain. So come to think of it, it would be over 2000, the size of the” regiment

“Mmm.”

The lecturer frowned.

The Rose Army had only 800 soldiers.

It wasn't even half of the goblin robbers.

"Are you sure?"

"I."

Roan answered without a hitch.

Since he had already experienced it in his past life, there was not even a small mistake.

“Mm. It hurts.”

Gale shook his head.

Their numbers were part of it, but the location where they were hiding was also a problem.

The goblin robbers have taken over both sides of the mountain. They were in a very vulnerable position to attack ever since they were below them.

Then, the Lecturer interrupted.

“Isn't it better to walk around the canyon and head straight for the Pedian Plain? We will be two days late but we can avoid an unnecessary fight. ”

After all, the goal of the Rose Army was to reunite with the other squads in the Pedian Plains and conquer monsters together.

No need to face goblins.

Roan, who was still listening, became startled and interrupted loudly.

“You can't do that!”

This was because he remembered what had happened in the miserable and cruel past.
