I AM THE KING
CHAPTER 5. FIRST BATTLE (3)

'Shoppers.'

Roan was indeed shouting feeling that he was in a hurry, but he closed his mouth due to this troublesome mood.

The face of the lecturer was not happy.

"Because a soldier is against the idea that an aide gives."

Perhaps, if the aide's temperament was harsh, a fist would have already hit him.

However, he could not retreat like this.

'If we leave the goblin army like this, the nearby villages will be massacred.'

In the previous life, after the goblins annihilated the Rose Army, they left the canyon while attacking and plundering the surrounding villages – leaving none of their people.

'It won't be an easy fight, but we have to destroy the goblin army.'

Roan bit his lower lip.

At that moment, the Lecturer coughed with an unhappy face.

“Ehem. What can a barely trained soldier know.

He clicked his tongue.

However Roan did not plan to retreat at this moment.

He stared right at Gale and slightly lowered his head.

“Gale Team Commander. Did you know the similarity of the fight at Kali in May 176; the Defense of Mendorf in August 183, the tactics of Roman oppression in October 185, and the fight at Fiore in March 191?”

These were battles that ranged from 30 years ago at most to at least 10 years ago, but not too long ago to be forgotten.

Gale frowned.

'Together?'

Just then, Mason laughed awkwardly.

"Ha ha ha. Here, this bastard. What are you talking about? What was Mendorf's defense, and what were the tactics of Roman oppression? You pick it up somewhere and talk shit. ”

Hearing his words, the lecturer added.

“This is also the first time I heard about that battle. Ehem.”

Their faces were really unpleasant to look at.

He glared with his eyes telling him to stop this nonsense.

On the other hand, Roan's face was calm and imposing.

'It's normal for them not to remember a fight unrelated to our kingdom.'

It's the same for him.

However, 7 years from now, an unrivalled genius strategist named Ian Phillips, will emerge, the study of strategy and tactics developing rapidly.

The generals and soldiers studied both large and small battles throughout history, and Roan also spent time studying them for a while.

And because of that, he could remember all the battles he mentioned.

But luckily, Gale could understand all the fights Roan was talking about, unlike Mason and the Lecturer.

'The battle at Kali was a fight between the Rinas Kingdom and the Estia Empire, the defense of Mendorf was a battle between the Estia Empire and Byron Kingdom, respectively, the Roman tactic of oppression was the fight that took place in Russia where the peasants rebelled, the Fiore fight was the fight between our Rinse Kingdom and the Monsters.'

Four different battles in time, nature, and enemies.

'There's an equal point between these battles?'

Roan said in a low voice when he saw that Gale did not understand.

“Craughter.”

At that moment, Gale's eyes opened wide in shock.

"Aah!"

A low cry came out.

He nodded as if he was a little excited.

"real. massacre. It was a massacre.”

The four battles were all different in enemies, time, and nature but the winning side had slaughtered the losers.

“In the battle of Kali, the people of Estia slaughtered the inhabitants of our Kali castle. In order to defend Mendorf, as Byron's nobles left Mendorf's castle and fled, the people of Estia slaughtered the inhabitants of Mendorf.” castle

"really. In the case of Roman tactics of oppression, the peasants revealed everything and were in turn massacred. In the Fiore fight, as our kingdom retreats, the monster army roaming the territory of Fiore attacks seven villages large and small; completely slaughtering its inhabitants.”

It was a conversation that fell well.

Gale stared at Ale canyon with a frozen face.

"Then what do you think ...... Could it?"

Roan slowly nodded.

"Yes. If we leave the goblin army like this, the inhabitants of the nearby city will be slaughtered.”

“Mm.”

Just by looking at the four battles he mentioned, the probability of it happening was extremely high.

Gale looked at Roan with a surprised expression.

'He was also the one investigating the canyon alone, but even memorized battles that were not even known to the Lecturer. What an amazing kid.'

On the other hand, the face of the Lecturer, who looked away, was clearly wrinkled.

'Berdevan. For someone like me who ate knives as food for 10 years and didn't know it. What is the identity of this bastard?'

A soldier who ate a knife worth 20 years for food.

But of course, there was no way the Lecturer knew that.

Gale wanted to continue testing the newcomer warrior before his eyes.

“Then, we move after defeating the goblin army?”

"Yes. Only then would the people around the Ale region be safe. ”

“But those Goblin bastards built a camp in the mountains. We are not in a situation where it is easy to face them.”

He spoke with the intention of finding out if there were any other methods, Roan had better share them immediately.

Roan looked at Gale and smiled faintly.

“Do you remember the battle that took place in the Slow Mountains in February of 200?”

The battle in the Slow Mountains was one that took place a few years ago.

Gale clearly nodded and so did Mason.

However, the only person who could read what Roan was thinking, was Gale.

Gale smiled brightly and clapped.

"ah! Attack with fire!”

Roan slowly nodded.

"Yes. Attacking with fire.”

The Battle of Gunung Pelan took place on the border of the Pelan Mountains, between the Kingdom of Bilas and the Kingdom of Byron.

The Byron Empire from then on moved faster than the Rinas Kingdom and occupied a higher place, but the Rinas Kingdom blocked the entrance and burned the mountain forest.

"really. Just then, soldiers from Byron left the burning military camp and fled.”

"Yes. As those people fled to the street we accidentally opened, they were annihilated after we ambushed them.”

Hearing Roan's words, Gale clapped his hands.

Pat. Pat. Pat.

“Good, very good! What's yourname?"

“This Roan.”

“Good, Roan. Your service today is huge. And your knowledge is also amazing. I will definitely remember your name.”

"Yes. Thank you." Thank you."

Roan slouched.

He didn't ask for a big reward from the start.

Although he found the goblins hiding and proposed good tactics, he was still a newly recruited soldier.

'If I collect more merit, my rank will rise and I will be able to lead my own army.'

He did not plan to act in a hurry.

But because of that, he also did not want to relax.

'I will render great service in this battle.'

He gripped the spear even harder than before.

Although he did not have the same strength and stamina as before, he still had 20 years of experience.

He was confident of facing four or five goblins at the same time; with his current condition.

Then, he heard Gale's voice.

“Prepare fire. Create traps and bait them there.”

"Yes!"

After the Lecturer countered loudly, he gained control.

He looked at Mason and Roan and swung his hand.

"The soldiers in charge of scouting, return to their respective squads."

"Yes!"

It was Mason and Roan who were replying at the same time.

The lecturer glared at Roan for a moment and turned around.

'Am I marked by the Lecturer?'

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

Originally, he had to have cold eyes and a crooked demeanor to be considered normal.

However, Roan, who had 20 years of experience eating knives to eat, only saw her as someone cute.

“Then, we will go.”

Mason bumps into Roan and bows at Gale.

Roan also saluted Gale and returned to the 13th Squad.

Along with the sound of steel, a hot excitement could be felt in the atmosphere.

'Is this the first battle?'

A smile appeared in Roan's mouth.

It was the smile of a man where hope and joy mixed into one.
