However, I'm not surprised or feel that it's unfair.
Because I knew that I was going to die like this.
"Whew."
He let out a long breath.
The steam rising from his mouth drifted into the sky.
"There's a bastard still alive over there."
Noticing the steam from his breath, some enemy soldiers walked toward him.
'Just let me be. There's a hole in my stomach anyway.'
He wanted to say that, but he just let it go.
He remembered the spring from 20 years ago.
'Was I 18 years old when I ran out of town, saying that I would become a great commander who would rule the entire world?'
After that, he spent 20 years on the battlefield.
And the result of that was just a bit of money in his hands and a lowly position in the First Corps of spearmen.
'A great general? What a joke. I'm going to die freezing. Damn it.'
His life flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
'What would have happened if I had participated in that surprise attack? No, if I had enlisted when they were recruiting soldiers in the Bate region? No, no… If I had gone west that winter during the monster subjugation?'
A crossroads filled with choices.
Each time, he chose one side without hesitation.
But the results were never good.
And because of that, he now had a hole in his stomach and was waiting to die.
Soon, he saw the cruel expressions of the enemy soldiers up close.
'Damn it.'
The curse rose in his throat.
Stab.
A steel sword pierced his chest.
"Damn… it."
His weak voice spilled from his lips.
Roan, of the First Corps of spearmen from the Rinse Kingdom, died just like that.
