I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 20
◈ 020. [STAGE 1] Killzone (2)
“Ughhh!”
“How can you catch such a big monster… !”
The appearance of the boss monster threw the soldiers on the wall into confusion.
Cannons and ballista fire stopped, and the fire net, which had been tightly maintained, loosened at once.
Aaaa!
Aaaaa-!
Living armor passed through the loose fire net and poured in through the front and left and right sides of the wooden outer wall.
These monsters are on their way to kill the nearest human.
Heading towards Jupiter, who fainted from the shock of falling off the horse.
“shit! You have to wear a dustproof!”
“Protect the wizard!”
Four members of Jupiter’s party hurriedly ran and built a square in front of Jupiter.
However, they were also in a state of being injured in the wind that fell off the horse. Besides, all the horses that were rampaging ran away.
The fate of a guerrilla unit that has lost its mobility is obvious.
‘Die!’
I gritted my teeth.
You can’t lose Jupiter to a hero party in a place like this!
“Damian!”
Damian looked at me. I hurriedly pointed to the Jupiter Party.
“Snipe the living armor coming to the Jupiter party!”
“yes!”
Damian swung the crossbow in the direction of his katana but didn’t put his finger on it.
Push! Push! Push-!
Snipers flew in succession.
puck! Pooh!
The arrows of the one-hit kill accurately pierced the living armor.
But the problem is… … Damian is a more sophisticated sniper than anyone else in the world, but his shooting speed is not fast.
Aaaa-!
There were too many Living Armors pouring in through the loose kill zone, and Damian’s sniping didn’t start to stop them all.
Lucas yelled at me.
“majesty! We need to support the Jupiter party by turning the cannon’s net!”
“no!”
I flatly refused.
“The network must be kept as it is! When the kill zone disappears, the number of people escaping increases!”
“but!”
“Take care of the restoration of the fire network! All the soldiers have gone crazy!”
I ran to the soldier who was hovering over the cannon in front of the wall and punched him in the back.
“Calm down you idiots! Don’t be afraid of that monster’s size!”
The soldier immediately came to his senses.
“omg?! I’m sorry, Your Highness!”
“Eh?”
Rather, I was bewildered. what? Is my back smash that stingy?
Looking down at my palm, I suddenly realized the reason.
My passive skill [Indomitable Commander]!
‘Soldiers 10m around me recover from mental abnormalities.’
I watched the soldiers tremble with fear from the top of the castle wall.
Could it be that recovering mental state abnormalities not only deal with debuff magic but also just shaken mentality?
‘Then, does that mean that if I terrify the battlefield, I can restore the soldiers’ mentality to normal?’
As soon as I thought about it, the decision was quick. I glanced back at Lucas.
“Lucas!”
“Please tell me.”
“I’ll take care of calming down the soldiers and restoring the killzone! Lucas you!”
I hesitated for a moment, but I finally let it out.
“Take over the rescue team.”
“… !”
“Open the castle gate and go out and rescue the Jupiter party.”
You can’t lose an SR rank wizard here. never!
And the only person who could go into that hell full of monsters and save Jupiter was the main character, Lucas.
Lucas quickly scanned the battlefield.
Even now, the Living Armors who had escaped the kill zone were attacking with terrifying momentum.
The armor monsters let out a terrible roar and rushed toward Jupiter’s party.
Enter the limb and rescue your comrades.
It is a reckless command.
“Yes, Your Highness!”
But Lucas looked at me with an unshakable face and nodded.
“I’ll be back right away.”
“… request. Lucas.”
It was a judgment that if you didn’t care, you might lose all of the SR-rank wizards and SSR-rank knights.
But I decided to trust Lucas. This guy decided to bet on the strong luck he was born with as the main character.
Lucas flew down the stairs and down the ramparts. Protagonist please!
I hurriedly ran around the outer walls of the castle and slapped the backs of the soldiers.
“Come to your senses, come to your senses, idiots! Are you going to go after everything like this!”
Damn! Damn!
All the soldiers who were hit by my devastating back smash jumped up and came to their senses.
“Keep?!”
“It stings!”
“Your Highness? what… .”
“Calm down and shoot the cannon! Can’t you keep the killzone upright?!”
Running up the wall with all my might, I roared loudly as I slapped the soldiers on their backs, cheeks, and shoulders.
“Are you afraid of that monster? really?!”
The soldiers looked at the huge ghost floating in the sky. Everyone was still terrified.
So I also spoke honestly.
“Fuck I’m scared too!”
“yes?”
“Are you scared or not scared? If you’re not afraid of things like that, you’re not even human!”
Monsters are bigger than humans.
Monsters are more powerful than humans.
I can’t help but feel the primal fear. There is no shame in being afraid.
but!
“But ordinary people will be more afraid of those monsters than we trained!”
I hit the backs of all the soldiers once while running along the wall once. Everyone came to their senses.
But even though I knew I had come to my senses, I ran one more time in the opposite direction, hitting each one more in the back.
“Your mother! wife! brother! child! Think of the horror you will feel when you see that monster!”
A new fear appeared along with bewilderment on the faces of the soldiers who hit my back.
“Think of when this place was breached and those monsters entered the city!”
“… !”
“Think of powerless ordinary citizens getting slaughtered by those monsters! Think of the countless children who will be sacrificed because of your fears!”
Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh. After running back and forth on the wall once, I was terribly short of breath. I feel like throwing up.
“We have to stop it here.”
I continued to scream while panting heavily.
“It is we who stop the monsters and protect the people! It is the final line of deterrence!”
The soldiers, still terrified, grabbed the cannons and ballistas again with trembling hands.
“If you wake up, shoot quickly! Cubs! Pour all the bullets you have!”
“Yes yep!”
“Fire! launch-!”
pop! pop! Perbung-!
Again the cannons fired and the ballistas started firing. I also screamed loudly.
“Shoot, shoot! Burn the monsters down!”
Killzone was finally restored.
The center of the wooden outer wall was again blocked by cross fire, and the Living Armors began to melt helplessly.
However, while the killzone was already neutralized, the number of monsters pouring into the outer wall was considerable.
“Open the gates!”
And to the field of monsters, Lucas ran out as a short-lived horse.
“Hey hey hey-!”
The figure of Lucas on the horse shot away. I clenched my fists tightly.
‘Please, Lucas!’
No on this stage… … .
The luck of the whole game. It’s in Lucas’ hand.
***
“Huh?!”
Jupiter opened one eye.
‘here is?’
Jupiter hurriedly glanced around.
It was the field in front of the fortress wall south of the Cross Road. There he fell down.
‘I remember falling off the horse because the horse suddenly went crazy.’
After that?
What happened?
“Sir Jupiter! Have you come to your senses?!”
An urgent shout flew in. Jupiter struggled to get to the floor and raised his upper body.
His forehead was damp, and when he touched it, blood oozing out. It appeared that he suffered a head wound while falling off the horse.
My back was sprained, and every time I moved, I felt a sharp pain.
“Oh, what a struggle at this age… … .”
“Sir Jupiter! One o’clock is urgent! Sir Jupiter!”
Looking in the direction from where the voice came from, his party members surrounded him and guarded him.
Aaaaa-!
And the Living Armors screamed and ran toward the party members.
“… ?!”
My head, which had been spinning round and round, became cold at once. Jupiter came to his senses and grasped the current situation.
Jupiter’s party was isolated.
Everyone was injured and Jupiter fainted when he fell on a field while falling off his horse.
Before even attempting to return to the city, they were attacked by the Living Armor.
“Rescue team coming soon! You have to hold out until then… … !”
The mercenary who was telling Jupiter the current situation hurriedly swung the mace in his hand.
Fuck!
One of the living armor’s helmets that rushed at me was hit by the mace and dented.
Aww-!
However, the Living Armor only paused for a moment before stabbing the spear in its hand roughly again.
“crazy! Can you survive being hit by this?!”
The mercenary spat out a curse.
The other party members did the same.
The Living Armors rushed forward like a wave and attacked, but the Living Armors did not fall with a fair amount of attacks.
Even if he is knocked down with a magic attack, he will continue to move unless the entire armor is destroyed with a physical attack.
This was the reason why Living Armor was difficult to deal with.
Even though all of Jupiter’s party members are N-rank, they are heroic characters.
Although they were skilled people who had dealt with quite a few monsters in the meantime, Living Armor, which had many numbers and each individual was strong, was not usually a difficult opponent.
In the end,
“Heheh?!”
Casualties came out.
It was a mercenary who informed Jupiter of the situation.
He succeeded in crushing the fourth living armor with his mace, but the upper half of the living armor crawled and was stabbed in the calf by the spear he wielded.
While staggering in pain, several more Living Armors rushed in.
He swung his mace as hard as he could and smashed the living armor in the lead, but
hey! Fufufufu!
The spears fired by the other Living Armor pierced his chest and abdomen.
“Big… evil… .”
Writhing in pain, he tried to swing his mace again, but the monsters were faster.
hooked! Pooh-!
After pulling out the spear with a mechanical motion, stab it again.
There was no emotion in the movements of the monsters. It just draws the optimal route to kill humans efficiently.
Jupiter’s eyes widened as he watched the brutal murder of a party member.
“These fry-and-eat monsters… !”
Jupiter quickly tried to use magic to wipe out the living armor in the area, but the mana did not properly gather in his hand.
Perhaps it was because he fell headfirst to the ground while falling off the horse, so he couldn’t properly control his magic power.
Jupiter put his forehead on his forehead and struggled to gather mana.
“Oh shit… ! hurry… !”
Fu-wook! Pooh-!
“Ahhhh!”
In the meantime, the second party member also collapsed.
It was a mercenary who somehow managed to hold a shield and let go of the attack.
However, the living armor’s fierce attack split the shield, and at the same time, the whole body was torn apart.
“Ughhhh! fuck fuck!”
The third party member who was fighting next to him turned around and ran away. No, I was trying to run away.
But as soon as he turned around, the Living Armors threw their spears at his empty back.
Poof! Whiik-!
Fufufufu!
The third party member, who was pierced by the javelin in an instant, fell to the ground without even screaming.
He trembled in the mud of his own blood, and eventually died.
The small defense line, which was maintained by only a few people, was destroyed in an instant.
Jupiter smelled the smell of the Living Armor right in front of him.
The smell of rusty armor and rotting water.
It is the smell of drowning.
“I’m going to stay quietly at the bottom of the lake for a while… .”
A handful of magic power gathered at the fingertips. Jupiter roared and stretched out his hand.
“Isn’t it too much of a pity that this grandmother is comfortably receiving her salary?!”
Flash-!
A thunderbolt of lightning struck and swept the area.
The Living Armors standing in front of them all collapsed and burned to black.
It was effective, but not even half of its usual output. The lightning bolts that had fallen in succession fell only one.
‘That’s wrong.’
Jupiter clicked his tongue as he saw the living armor rushing behind the charred armor.
And shouted at the last remaining party member.
“You run away too!”
“Yes yes?!”
The last party member was a young mercenary who still looked young. Jupiter roared again.
“Rather than all die, at least one should live! Quickly jump out, kid!”
