I am the Monarch Chapter 254:
‘It doesn’t even reach one thousand . ’
Mills Voisa, with a pale face, exhaled a long sigh .
They received an unexpected attack at the Sedes Castle and lost thousands of soldiers .
And the retreat of suffering that followed .
In that process, the soldiers who suffered big and small wounds died or fell behind .
In the end, the number of soldiers who survived to the end and were following Mills’s back did not reach one thousand .
A wretched and horrid situation .
But even whilst that, there was a point that was good .
‘There is no pursuit force . ’
Mills tightly clenched his teeth .
‘A little more, let’s endure just a little more . If we can just join up with the Byron Kingdom Army……’
The moment his thought reached about that point .
Sswaeeeeck!
A sharp shriek of air struck his ears .
Pbububuck! Pbubuck!
Following that and together with chilling sounds, the commanders and soldiers who followed his sides fell .
“Huhph!”
Mills crouched his body with a greatly shocked expression .
‘Damn it!’
Curses naturally pushed up .
The commanders and soldiers all died with arrows struck on the center of their foreheads .
‘Perfect accuracy . ’
It was just a single shot .
A soldier fell per a single arrow shot .
‘A sickening archery skill like this……’
It simply couldn’t be seen as a human’s skill .
“Counter! Counter!”
“Raise the shields!”
“Shoot the arrows!”
The surviving commanders and knights gave out vain orders .
A final struggle .
Pbububuck! Pbubuck! Pbubuck!
Even during that time, the arrows endlessly poured down .
The arrows, as if they had eyes, perfectly pierced the knights and soldiers’ foreheads .
After who knew how long .
“……”
His surrounding became silent .
The sharp shrieks of air were no longer heard .
Similarly, the screams, curses, and the shouts filled with rage also weren’t heard .
“Ah……”
Mills let out a long sigh .
A despondent look was clear on his face .
‘Everyone is dead……’
The one that survived was only himself .
‘Damn! It!’
Mills who was completely crouching his body kicked off the ground and jumped up .
“Who is it! Come out! Come fight me fair and square!”
From rage and shame, he lost his sanity .
At that moment .
Sswaeeeeeck!
Once again a sharp shriek of the air pierced into his ears .
“Hph!”
Mills who had gotten completely frenzied gulped empty air without even having thought of dodging .
Puuck!
The arrow exactly pierced the tip of his helmet .
Clang!
A dull sound echoed as the iron helmet fell to the ground .
Gulp .
Mills dryly swallowed and brushed with his right hand the top of his head .
There was not one injured spot .
It had precisely taken off just the helmet .
It truly was a shocking archery skill .
“Uuuuh . ”
In the end, Mills powerlessly fell onto his knees .
It was the moment everything ended .
He stared at the hills with a blank gaze .
Soon, the owners of the ghostly archery skills showed themselves above it .
Hundreds of archers who deeply wore robes over their faces .
They, carrying across their backs arrows far longer than their bodies, casually walked up .
“Who, who are you……? Are you people Roan Lancephil sent?”
Mills asked with a powerless voice .
At that moment, the archer who was farthest up front took off the robe she had deeply worn .
“Ah……”
Mills let out a quiet exclamation .
The archer was a woman he too knew well of .
“Princess Aily……?”
Mills roundly opened his eyes .
‘But she hid her trails after her key action in the Capture of Miller……’
That her had suddenly appeared in the kingdom’s Northeastern Region .
Aily made a faint smile .
“Mills Voisa . I have been waiting . ”
It was a gentle and soft voice, but he felt a power that couldn’t be carelessly treated . It wasn’t comparable to Roan’s, but she too naturally exuded the aura of monarch as the queen of the elves .
“Had Roan Lancephil saw this far down, princess?”
Mills shook his head with a resigned look .
He raised his head and looked straight at Aily’s eyes .
“Then the Byron Kingdom Army and the Istel Kingdom Army’s situations too must not be good . ”
Aily slightly nodded her head at those words in place of an answer .
“Huu . ”
Mills couldn’t hold it in and spat out a long sigh .
He made a bitter smile as if having given up everything .
“Will you cut off my head, princess?”
A crestfallen voice .
Aily still faintly smiled and shook her head .
“No . Your life will be used at a far more important place . ”
“By important place……?”
Mills tilted his head with a puzzled look .
Aily, in a very small voice, answered as if to whisper .
“We……”
Her eyes twinkled and shone a light .
“Plan to trade with the Holy Palace . ”
