I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 22

◈ 022. [STAGE 1] Main Party

Guaaaa!

The Living Armors reached the moat.

While crossing the moat filled with holy water, they slowed down and had to be beaten by a barrage of arrows on our side.

but sturdy

Receiving arrows with all their bodies, they finally crossed the moat and reached the fortress wall.

thud! thud! thud!

The leading Living Armors began knocking on the castle gate.

But the gates are thick and firmly locked.

No matter how much these monsters were monsters, they were not something that could be penetrated without siege weapons.

The Living Armors eventually gave up the siege to the gate and started climbing the walls.

Okay! Okay! Okay!

Watching the armored monsters cling to the walls and climbing them up… … It was monstrous. It looks like a scene from a horror movie.

gulp. gulp.

Dry spittle ran down the throats of the soldiers standing at the edge of the wall and looking down.

“atmosphere.”

Dry saliva went down my throat as I looked down, but on the outside I tried to pretend to be calm.

“atmosphere!”

Various rubbish such as stones and iron fragments remaining during the reinforcement work were placed on the wall in advance.

The soldiers prepared to throw these at the Living Armor.

The Living Armor climbed almost all the way up the high walls.

Now we were close enough to see the ghastly eyes of the men shimmering inside the helmet.

Only then did I command out loud.

“now! Drop it!”

“Drop it!”

“Drop-!”

The soldiers all at once pushed the junk over the wall and threw it off.

rumble… … .

Kudangtangtang!

The Living Armor, beaten by heavy rubbish, fell to the floor together.

Most of them were shattered by the impact of falling to the floor, but the rest jumped up again intact. I stuck out my tongue.

“It’s really terribly strong!”

I threw all the clutter piled up on the wall. Despite being hit by that, they were still climbing up the wall again.

I really can’t help it now. I raised my voice.

“Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!”

“yes! Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!”

“Forward to the melee squad!”

A hand-to-hand combat stand-by group of hundreds of soldiers waiting behind pulled out their blunt weapons at the same time.

In the meantime, the soldiers who had been shooting cannons and ballistas and throwing clutter had stepped back for a while.

After a short break, I will join the melee combat.

I opened the system window while the melee combat team and the existing soldiers took turns.

‘Party reorganization.’

Jupiter’s party had been wiped out, and the main party was now only four, so it was in need of a reorganization.

I opened the party window and added Jupiter from the sub party to the main party.

[Main Party (5/5)]

– Lv.5 Ash (EX)

– Lv.27 Lucas (SSR)

– Lv.15 Damian (N)

– Lv.17 Lily (R)

– Lv.35 Jupiter (SR)

Main The party is complete and ttiling! The party synergy was activated along with the notification sound.

[Active Party Synergy]

> (Commander 1) Battlefield Guard: This party does not lose morale.

> (Wizard 2) Double Mage: Increases the magic attack power of all party members by 20%.

A total of two synergies were activated.

‘So beautiful!’

Unknowingly, I called for joy.

In particular, Double Mage is a really great synergy. A 20% magic attack power increase!

As soon as Jupiter recovers, there is no better synergy than this in the current situation where you have to rely on her thunderbolt magic.

‘But for now.’

I saw living armor climbing up the walls.

Lucas holding his long sword in front of his chest, and the soldiers trembling with their blunt weapons tightly gripped.

‘I have to block it with pure flesh, not magic.’

In the meantime, although the soldiers were frightened, they carried out the defensive war reliably.

And the biggest reason that was able to do that was because the type of battle was a long-range artillery battle.

From now on, you have to fight while taking their attacks with your whole body right in front of your nose.

‘Can the soldiers do it?’

Worried about the anxious soldiers, I immediately shook my head.

‘No, I have to do it.’

Any veteran is a recruit at first.

Anyway, the stage continues after this. The invasion of monsters continues endlessly.

All soldiers must be strong to survive.

We have no choice but to collide, overcome, and move on.

“They are coming up!”

As the Living Armor climbed up to the bottom of the wall, the soldiers pushed them away with long spears or sticks.

snap! snap!

However, the Living Armors lightly grabbed them and broke them.

“Wow?!”

“What crazy!”

The frightened soldiers rumbled backwards.

The last resistance was easily neutralized, and the Living Armors appeared on top of the castle one by one.

ugh… … .

Aaaa!

The first one to climb up the wall let out a terrifying scream. A commotion spread among the soldiers.

And

flash-!

The monster’s helmet was split in half with one flash from Lucas.

The ribang armor, which had been split in half, staggered along with red-hot sparks.

Lucas kicked the guy in the chest vigorously with his foot and threw him off the wall.

“I cut them!”

Lucas yelled at the soldiers who were staring at him in surprise.

“All you have to do is hold on to the spot as much as possible and stop them!”

“Yes yep… !”

Lucas ran up the wall as if flying and cut through the living armor that came up.

Tsukak! Tsukaaaak!

Every time Lucas’ sword sliced through metal, bright red sparks flew out. It was as if flowers were blooming from the tip of the sword.

After staring at the dazzling performance of the SSR-rank knight, I suddenly came to my senses. I have to do my job too!

“Activate Lily’s next artifact!”

“yes!”

At my command, Lily quickly activated her artifact.

The second of the repaired artifacts.

N-rank Haste artifact.

An artifact that casts a wide-area speed increase magic on allies. Like N-rank, the effect and duration are short.

Increases movement speed and attack speed by 5% for 5 minutes.

But 5 percent is enough. 5 minutes is enough.

The most important buff, which takes time to initiate engagement, boosts the confidence of soldiers.

As their bodies became lighter, the soldiers wielded blunt weapons more lightly and threw out their shields.

“Push away the monsters!”

“Drop-!”

The living armor climbed up and the soldiers collided.

In the meantime, the melee combat standby team, which had been allowed to rest, endured much better than expected.

I couldn’t defeat the Living Armor, but it was enough to form a front line against them.

The attributes I wore in this battle are [Main Order] [Attack Totem] [Defense Totem].

It will help in hand-to-hand combat, albeit in small ways.

While the soldiers held on without being pushed back like this, Lucas hurriedly ran and swung his sword.

Flash! Flash!

Every time the sword light flashed, the Living Armors fell like straw.

A halo of light unique to skill use flashed from the tip of Lucas’s sword. Lucas’s 1st skill [Strike of Will].

[Strike of Will] is a stacking skill that gets stronger the more enemies you kill.

In my mind, I wanted to give all the remaining Living Armor to Lucas, but I couldn’t afford it.

‘It’s pushed.’

Lucas alone swept nearly half of the wall, but he couldn’t handle the whole.

The number of those who crossed the wall gradually increased. The number of injured also increased.

“evil!”

“OMG!”

“If you get hurt, get right back! Take turns!”

Every time an injured soldier came out, I put in the existing defense team waiting in the back.

However, the existing water-based team is also tired during water-based.

There were not many deaths, but the number of injured quickly increased. I gently bit my lower lip.

“Prince, I want to return to the front again… .”

Damian, who was resting at my command, raised his crossbow again, but I raised my hand to block it.

This guy needs to use his strength on his boss skills. Same with Jupiter.

‘What should I do?’

Is there any way to organize the remaining living armor while minimizing damage to the soldiers as much as possible… … .

It was then.

Roaring!

Suddenly, a fire broke out and reduced the living armor that had climbed the walls to ashes.

I was surprised and looked that way. Lily, in a wheelchair, held out her hand with a trembling face.

“That’s right, you could use magic?!”

When I freaked out, Lily made a puzzled face.

“No, the original fire mage!”

“sorry. I thought it was just a friend shield.”

“Isn’t that really too much?!”

The Living Armor continued to climb up the wall. Lily hurriedly spewed flames in all directions.

Aagh!

ah… … !

The living armor that came to the wall on the Lily side melted in an instant.

Since they had high physical resistance but low magic resistance, their flame magic was also very effective.

“Hehehehehehe… .”

Lily, whose mana was drained in an instant, gasped. It seemed that he couldn’t stand the ignorant consumption of magic power unique to flame-type magicians.

I ran behind Lily and grabbed the handle on the back of the wheelchair.

“Good work Lily! I’ll give you a promotion later!”

“No, please retire… .”

“I’ll give you a bonus as well! So come on! Let’s fire one more time!”

“Retire me! And I’ve almost used up all my mana!”

“You can do it one more time! Come on, cheer up, eulachacha!”

“Wow!”

I dragged the tear-stained Lily in her wheelchair and made her blow fire. Kill the effect!

20% from party synergy and 5% from my [Attack Totem] trait.

Lily’s fire magic, a total of 25 percent stronger, successfully blocked half of the castle walls.

I tasted it and poured the mana potion into Lily’s mouth.

“Cheer up, flamethrower! One more shot!”

“Anyway, they treat me like a human!”

As a result of the soldiers blocking it with their bodies, Lucas cut it with his sword and Lily burned it with flames.

[Enemy Info – STAGE 1]

– Lv.25 Ghost Knight: 1

– Lv.5 Living Armor Assault: 3 (Kill Counts: 1449)

The end is visible.

“Die, you bastard!”

“Get out of this castle!”

The soldiers surrounded the Living Armor and fed it with blunt weapons and said,

“Now for real… I can’t drink any more… … .”

“It’s the last, the last. now. Drink this all the way and fight!”

Lily dripped magic potion out of her mouth and barely roasted one of them.

Flash!

The last one was cut cleanly in two by Lucas’s sword strike.

“… finished.”

When the Living Armor was no longer visible, the bewildered soldiers cheered in unison.

“it’s over! We blocked it!”

“I did it! You did it!”

I poured cold water on the happy atmosphere.

“It’s not over yet!”

“Yes yes?”

“Don’t relax! Because the last one is coming!”

I stared into the air. The soldiers followed my gaze and turned their heads.

ugh… … .

With the whole body of a huge specter floating in the air. Fragments of armor from fallen Living Armor gathered throughout the campaign.

Clap! Clap!

Thousands of pieces of armor came together to form a gigantic, patchy piece of armor.

From the gauntlets on the fingertips to the pauldrons on the shoulders. breastplate of the chest. From the leg armor that forms the thighs and calves to the boots that wrap the feet.

And finally pitching.

Clap-!

The finished giant armored monster let out a sullen groan.

Aaaa… … !

ghost knight.

Blue flames shone from the eyes of the stage boss monster.

thud-!

When the thing floating in the air landed on the ground, the whole area shook as if an earthquake had struck. We stumbled all at once.

I swallowed curse words while holding on to the wall next to me and trying to keep my balance.

Where do you look at that stage 1 boss?!
