I Am The Monarch

I Am The Monarch
Ghost of the battlefield (5)


Too much for Roan.


“Commander Richard's team. Even though you are from the special forces, isn't this too much? ”


The one who raised his voice was Gale.


“Gale team commander. Are you angry at me? "


Low voice but with power.


Gale coughed and smacked his lips.


"Ahems. Anyway, we can't give you Roan. ”


Hearing those words, Richard shook his head as if it was suffocating him.


“It seems you have no idea how incredible Roan's spearmanship is. Roan's skill was not someone who was in the normal army as a low-rank spearman. ”


Hope filled his eyes.


“Very amazing for it to be a skill of an 18 year old beginner. If she was polished well, she could become a strong person like Rale Baker. '


If you are a commander leading an army, it is human nature to want to have a weapon.


Then, Gale who was hesitating, suddenly shouted.


"Who, who's a low-ranking spearman?"


Richard frowned.


“I'm talking about Roan. I knew that he was a normal spearman with no assigned position. ”


Hearing his words, Gale smirked and shook his head.


"When is that story? There were many advantages Roan had accumulated, and since he had also provided a lot of assistance, I planned to give him the position of commander of the troops. ”


At that moment, it was clear to Richard, but Roan and the army of rose troops who were also listening showed shocked expressions.


'Squad commander? Already?'


Roan felt his heart beating.


It was true that he had accumulated quite a lot of merit with the goblin army, the slave merchant and also in this surprise attack, he said, but even so he was still an 18-year-old novice spearman who had just completed his training.


"ko, commander of the army!"


The voice urged the aides.


Gale looked at them as if ordering them to shut up.


"Are you crazy?"


Richard asked back in a calm voice.


Even if he had his abilities and skills were excellent, it was still an exaggeration to appoint an 18-year-old novice as the commander of the troops.


'Because leading your subordinates is not only done with skill. '


The commander of the troops led 20 plus soldiers.


Therefore, one needed leadership to be able to lead the members of the troops on the battlefield with experience.


So it was hard to expect that from Roan who had just experienced the battlefield two or three times.


But of course, this was Richard's mind.


In fact, Roan was an experienced warrior who had been wandering the battlefield for 20 years.


'Even if I said it, no one would believe me. Anyhow ……. '


Roan smiled bitterly and started to remember.


'The first time I was commander of an army ………. Is it 15 years from now? '


A rather late promotion.


His friends at that time had at least been aides or commanders of the troops.


Or they soon retire and return to their hometown for farming.


Roan was the only one who explored the battlefield as a normal soldier.


'But to become the commander of the troops immediately … '


Confused yet filled with joy.


Then, Gale's voice sounded.


“I'm crazy. I plan to add one more team with this opportunity. ”


"And how are you going to charge the squad members?"


“There are squads who suffered greatly in this battle. ”


At Gale's reply, Richard frowned.


"Are you saying that you will gather squad members from other squads as one?"


"Yes . You can see that the 42nd is a joint force. ”


Unobstructed reply.


Richard looked at Gale's eyes steadily.


'Looks like you don't want him taken. '


In the end, he sighed and shook his head.


"If you want to go up to that point I'll fall back. ”


Richard looked at Roan.


“If you need help, come and find me anytime. ”


Roan looked down, instead of answering.


Richard moved his feet and as he looked at the desperate aides, he shook his head.


“You will also be very difficult. ”


Words that cannot be understood.


But the aides slightly lowered their heads as if they had understood enough already.


As Richard walked out, Kenny, who had the harshest disposition appeared to try to restrain Gale.


“Mr commander. I think the army commander seat for an 18-year-old rookie is too much. ”


The other aides also stood up.


"Religion . Why don't you give him the seat of deputy commander of the 13th army? "


“Or raise his salary should also be good. ”


But Gale did not plan to back down.


"I will definitely keep the words I say. '


He looked at the adjutant with fierce eyes.


“I have no plans to change my words. Kenny, Jack and the Lecturer, went to another squad and brought some squad members. The commander of the army for the 42nd was Roan. ”


Gale's gaze was directed at Roan.


"Roman. You can do it well, right? ”


Hearing those words, Roan slightly lowered his head.


“I can do well. ”


He is not saying that he will try his best, or will work hard.


Will do well.


This situation required those words now, and he was confident as well.


Gale nodded with a satisfied expression.


Then, Roan raised his head and after glancing at the cold aides, he spoke in a low voice.


"Um but ……"


When her words became murky, Gale made a mark with her eyes as if it was fine.


Roan laughed awkwardly and continued to talk.


*****


Austin is a 28-year-old hot-blooded young man who has been roaming the battlefield for 8 years.


Even though his spear was out of shape, he had such excellent strength that he rendered small merit many times.


"good. If I keep this, in one more year I will be promoted to commander of the troops. '


When he was resting, he was dreaming.


"Austinians. It's a transference command. ”


The transfer order fell on the rose troop all of a sudden.


'Maybe! Already got a promotion for the commander of the troops? '


If not for that, there was no reason for him to transfer troops.


Expectations made his chest go up and down.


But the reality that falls is the sewer.


"To serve this novice as commander of my army?"


His face is constantly changing.


And this isn't just Austin's mind.


'Dangerous. I stepped on the dirt. '


'To serve a novice who has just completed his training as a squad commander. '


"Aren't we just going to die because of the commander of this rookie army?"


In the presence of the soldiers, anger, imprisonment, anger, and disappointment could be seen.


'Yes I understand you . '


Roan looked at the faces of the soldiers and smiled.


Because he would also be annoyed if he was told to serve an 18-year-old student as the commander of the troops.


He took a deep breath and looked into the eyes of the soldiers fixedly.


“You all should have a complaint. And you may not understand. ”


Childish voice.


The faces of the soldiers were acting up.


Roan did not feel disturbed and continued to speak.


“I won't talk long. ”


He raised ten fingers.


"Ten days only. Trust me for 10 days and follow me. If possible, you still don't like me after 10 days, I'll get you back to your original squad. ”


Only then did the faces of the soldiers loosen.


'10 days…… . . '


'So I just have to hold it for 10 days, right?'


They had to act recklessly until then.


Then, behind the desperate soldiers a loud answer could be heard.


"Understand!"


The owners of those voices were none other than Pierce and Glenn.


They were the soldiers Roan wanted to bring.


Roan turned around and laughed.


'Rest well tonight. Because you won't be able to think clearly from tomorrow. '


The corner of his mouth was raised with pain.


*****


A group of people entered the camp.


Worn armor with blood stains.


"Huk. Hukes. ”


The chest that shook violently.


Yet their eyes were fierce and their steps were impressive.


The soldiers who were resting near them started to whisper.


“It was a ghost army. ”


"They said that they did it this time too?"


“The commander of the troops there is a ghost from the battlefield. Ghost of the battlefield. ”


“He's really amazing. Justjust wonderful. ”


"They said that they exterminated three monster nests in just ten days. ”


The soldiers of the group received the gazes of the other soldiers and went to the deep part of the camp.


Then, a generous voice sounded.


"Oho! Ghost of the battlefield! "


The man who approached while shaking his hand was Pete.


The man walking in front of the group smiled brightly and bowed.


"Mr Pete. ”


Salute respect.


At that very instant, Pete shook his body and hands with a large movement.


"Aigoo. Commander Roan, please talk to me casually. ”


Funny voice.


Roan grinned and shook his head.


“Stop making fun of me. ”


"Ahem. because it's funny. ”


Pete laughed brightly and scratched his chin.


He looked at the people behind Roan and said in astonishment.


“Roan team commander. You did that today too? "


Hearing those words, Roan looked back.


Sharp eyes and impressive demeanor.


They were warriors who only 10 days ago had faces full of resentment and anger.


The newly formed 42nd Squad.


Now, the 42nd team is called as the ghost squad.


"Yes nih . We found some goblins. ”


“You met them? You didn't go looking for them? "


Roan simply smiled brightly instead of answering.


Pete has a funny expression.


“Commander of Roan's army, your nickname is ghost on the battlefield, ghost. ”


He hit Roan on the shoulder and continued talking.


“Because you guessed where the monster was and where the monster nest was. That's why you're a ghost. ”


Hearing his words, Roan smiled bitterly.


"It's a good thing I'm not the heavenly teller from the battlefield. '
