I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 219

◈ 219. [STAGE 9] Why did I come out and

crossroads was peaceful?

Ash, the lord and commander, ordered an evacuation, and shelter was set up in the northeast of the city.

Citizens packed their bags and evacuated one by one to the place where drinking water and food and various facilities were cleanly provided.

Unlike the current situation of evacuation, there was no worry or fear on the faces of the citizens.

That would also be true for the past half year since Ash took office. Crossroads did not allow shouting.

Eight defensive battles in the Crossroads Nine times, including the fight against the Black Spider Corps at the outpost.

Under Ash’s command, the monsters were cleanly repulsed, and although the soldiers were killed or injured, no damage was done within the city.

So the citizens did not feel that the monster’s threat was increasing.

This evacuation order was also accepted as an extension of the previous safety first rule.

The summer sun was warm and the air was loose in the city.

It was the same with the temple here.

The priests had relaxed faces as they carried bandages and holy water potions to the simple medical facility prepared in the shelter.

Only Saint Marherita had a dark expression.

“Damian… .”

In front of Marherita sat Damian with an expressionless face.

On the day Ash took the party out, he gave instructions and released the handcuffs. Damian was leading a life as if handcuffed.

I locked myself in my room and couldn’t move.

“Damian. We are transporting all the patients here to the shelter. You must go too.”

“… .”

Damian, who had been silent, spoke for the first time today.

“What about the wires?”

“yes?”

“You’re forming the final line of deterrence on top of the castle wall. Can’t we go there?”

“His Highness told me to check whether your condition is improving and then make a decision for me.”

In the meantime, Damian aimed his gun at his ally twice.

Ash judged that the risk of shooting at his teammates was greater than Damian’s advantage as a sniper.

That’s why they were excluded from this defense battle at all.

Marherita glanced into Damian’s eyes.

“And from my point of view, you still look out of shape now.”

“… .”

“Let’s go to the shelter together, Damian.”

Damian was silent. Marherita sighed lightly.

“If you continue like this, we will have no choice but to drag you to a shelter. Shall we?”

“… I’ll go. shelter.”

A moment of relief crossed Marherita’s face.

Although I had to frown at Damian’s words that continued in the next moment.

“So my horse gun… Give me back the Black Queen.”

Despite the fact that the black queen caused this to happen, Damian wanted to hold the magic gun again.

Then, the dream of the lost precious person… … Because I can see Ban’s face again.

But Marherita shook her head coldly.

“There was an instruction from Her Highness not to return that gun no matter what.”

“… .”

“Damian. This decision was made by His Highness the Prince thinking of you. you know?”

Damian curled up on the bed.

“… I just want to stay here.”

“yes?”

“Anyway, the monster is the prince… And other people will defeat you. Do you really need to evacuate?”

In fact, most citizens of the city thought so. Marherita also thought so in her heart.

Ash will do it again. As always.

‘But preparing for the worst is the leader’s job.’

As the head priest, Marherita intended to faithfully follow Ash’s orders.

And while everyone else was leaving for shelter, Damian was the only one who didn’t listen.

‘How can I convince you… … .’

If you keep holding on, you have no choice but to call someone and forcefully move it. Marherita thinks.

“What’s going on, saintess?”

Someone peeked into Damian’s room.

Quylan’s older brother, Kureha, was occupying the next hospital room. He was carrying a load with crutches on his bony left leg.

Thanks to continuing to help the temple by volunteering, Kureha was now treated as an office assistant at the temple. Marherita laughed bitterly.

“Miss Kureha. that is… .”

“… aha.”

Seeing Damian crouched still and Marherita sitting in front of him, Kureha limped into the room.

“Is it an evacuation problem? I’ll try to convince Damian. Holy lady, go see another business.”

“yes? but… .”

“Anyway, the evacuation can be finished by tomorrow. Yes? I will try to convince you by tomorrow.”

Marherita hesitated, then nodded and stood up. Still, there were loads of other things to do.

“Please.”

“Please leave it to me.”

After Marherita left, Kureha came limping in front of Damian and sat down on a chair.

“This is the first time I’ve been able to say hello properly, Damian?”

Kureha smiled softly. Damian glanced up at Kureha.

Red braided hair and a skinny body suffering from illness. And a beastman with a particularly skinny left leg.

He’s a good opponent. I don’t know why I’m pretending to be close all of a sudden. Damian lowered his gaze.

“… No matter what they say, I’ll just be here. At any chance, if the monster pushes the wires, I’ll just be crushed to death… … .”

“It’s a coincidence. In fact, I meant to be too.”

“… ?”

Wondering what this meant, Damian looked at Kureha bewildered. Kureha shrugged.

“I didn’t want to go to the shelter either. Instead, I wanted to stand on the front lines and be of some help, but my legs are like this. So, I will stay with you.”

“How… Are you standing?”

“My younger brother is also out to stop the monster. The younger brother fights for his life, but the older brother runs away because the younger brother may fail? kinda like that, right? I just want to stay here.”

After turning left and right, Kureha put her hand next to her mouth and whispered in a low voice.

“Let’s stay in this city together!”

Damian looked at Kureha with dismayed eyes.

Shoot Aagh!

Jormungandr crossed the river.

It was a fairly wide river with a rapid current, but Jormungandd didn’t care at all, cutting through the current and crossing the river.

In the middle of the day, the punishment unit, which was working on Jormungandr’s body, stopped for a moment and was greeted by the cool spray.

“Puha!”

“Cool!”

“You can take a shower, and snakes are quite comfortable?!”

The members of the punishment unit, who had been joking around and giggling, turned around one by one.

kang… … kang… … kang… … .

I could see Lucas and Quylan wielding a pickaxe.

The confrontation between the two, which started last night, continued through the night until the sun came up in the middle of the sky.

Limping like zombies, the two swung their pickaxes alternately.

“… .”

“… .”

I have to stop it slowly, but they don’t even pretend to listen to me.

It was a time when the members of the penal corps looked at each other and licked their lips in embarrassment.

Cheerreureuk-

Taat!

With the sound of the hook sucking the gift, Evangeline flew in with the hook launcher.

It was as quick as a flying squirrel.

“Are you all doing well? The senior told me to find out what was going on, saying that the rate of destruction of parts had dropped only near the center, so I came… … but… … .”

Evangeline clicked her tongue when she saw Lucas and Quylan wielding a pickaxe slowly, looking exhausted.

“Ah~ I know this. I know Is it a battle of pride?”

“That’s right, knight. Like that last night… … .”

“This is a good solution.”

Evangeline quickly ran behind Lucas and Quylan and went wild

! baek!

Suddenly, he raised his shield and slashed the back of their heads. It was a blow without mercy or consideration.

“Keuhhehe… … ?!”

“Evangeline, what is this… act… .”

dump.

The two giants collapsed to the floor.

The two collapsed as if they were fainting, then lost their minds and fell asleep as if they were dead.

“The world is in danger of being destroyed. … .”

After recovering the shield, Evangeline exclaims! I snorted and looked back at the punishment unit.

“Okay, this is a draw. Yes?”

“Yes yes… That’s right… !”

The punishment unit trembled in fear and answered.

Evangeline, who had beaten and subdued those scary two with the momentum to kill them, was so terrifying.

“Sleep for three hours, then wake up and get back to work. Oh and this is a new work tool. I’ll explain how it works, so listen carefully.”

Evangeline handed out the new drill she brought to the punishment unit and explained how it worked.

The members of the penal unit listened to Evangeline’s lecture with attention.

“There is less than half the time left. If you wake up and try to do something strange again, everyone will stop you. all right?”

“yes!”

“good! Let’s get back to work!”

The members of the punishment unit clumsily grabbed a drill and started destroying the parts, and Evangeline corrected her posture one by one.

***

On the second day, time passed faster and it was already evening.

I raised my head and looked around.

After crossing the river, Jormungand entered the forest area.

Trees that grew tall fell in torrents along the path of the snake.

Broken trees falling overhead were a headache, but it was far better than the rock bombardments of the first day.

I was looking through the system window while swinging my magical blade to roughly remove the large stems that were falling in between.

[Jormungand – Part Destruction Progression]

– 1st center: 86%

– 2nd center: 42%

– 3rd center: 67%

‘The two wizards on the head are taking care of themselves… … .’

Looking at Jormungandr’s head in the distance, magic light is flashing. The progress is the fastest, and I don’t think I need to worry about that one.

‘The tail here is okay, and if you increase the speed of the destruction of the central part, I think you can finish it within the time without major problems… … ?’

Although the gimmick was unique, I think this defense will end without any major problems.

I’m thinking in my heart,

“Ah! ash!”

I heard Kelly Bay’s voice calling. I looked back.

Cheerreureuk- Tsukak!

Kelly Bay, who had hooked the hook at the end of her tail and climbed up, squealed in excitement.

“Listen, listen! I was wandering all over the place wondering if I had anything else to ask for?!”

That’s what it’s been like since yesterday.

“Did you find anything new?”

“Everything I found! As I rode down that side, I found Jormungandr’s warm anus!”

“port… what?”

I wondered if I had heard it wrong for a moment, so I asked Kelly Bay to explain it one more time.

“There was an asshole, asshole! I can not hear well?!”

“… Ah yes. no. It sounds good.”

“Don’t make a dirty face, kid! Jormungandr is basically a magical creature! How can a colossal body like this eat to maintain itself? This dude doesn’t get nutrients from his meals! It’s not the kind of digestive and excretory organ you think!”

If it’s not a digestive and excretory organ, why is it called an asshole… … ?

“It’s a structure that swallows and absorbs mana in the air, collects miscellaneous things that are not mana, and discharges them to the back!”

“that… I get it, so just tell me the point. What did you find?”

“Anyway, wouldn’t it be dwarven nature to enter a den when you see it? I went inside right away!”

“Why are you going there, Siippal!”

I unknowingly spat out curse words. But Kelly Bay didn’t care and just smiled.

“Then look at this! What have I picked up!”

Kelly Bay set something on her back on the floor. I freaked out and stepped back.

“Don’t come any closer! Because it smells like it!”

“Because it doesn’t smell! Rather, look at this!”

Kelly Bay took it out of Jormungandr’s anus and set it down on the floor in front of me… … .

“Our friend is nameless!”

It was a familiar dungeon merchant NPC with long white hair and a ragged robe.

“… ?”

Nameless, who had lost all his strength and was drooping, lifted up his trembling face, looked at me, and waved his hand with difficulty.

“Long time no see, Ash.”

“… uh?”

I didn’t understand the situation for a while, so I stayed in a daze.

I squealed.

“Why are you out there?!”

therefore… that… dick… … .

… .

Why are you coming from ‘there’?!
