I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 336
◈ 336. [STAGE 14] My (底意)
God Hand’s voice cuts off and I’m anxiously on my nerves.
that buck that buck
heavy footsteps and
Sigh. profit.
I heard something dragging.
Heavy footsteps stopped in front of me and yanked the envelope from my head. What?!
Suddenly, my vision brightened, and I couldn’t come to my senses. I frowned and waited for my vision to adjust.
“Good afternoon. Your Highness, Prince Ash.”
It was a voice I heard in prison a few days ago. Soon, the opponent in front of me was clearly visible.
“Mason… !”
As expected, it was the spy.
Mason’s whole body was covered in blood, as if he had been through some kind of fierce battle. And his physique was much bigger.
I didn’t know, but I think it was a growing season. Or even doping with steroids.
Mason raised his mouth and smiled.
A shaggy beard… … It’s strange to say something like this, but rather than a human’s beard, it’s stiff and stiff like that of a beast.
“Thanks to you, I caught the rats.”
Having said that, Mason threw what he had brought onto the floor.
“Heuk!”
“… .”
They were two elves of the shadow unit. I shuddered.
“God Hand! Burnout! are you okay?!”
Mason shrugged as he raised his boots on the bodies of the two fallen elves.
“I knew long ago that these friends betrayed and joined Your Highness.”
“What… !”
“That’s why I leaked disinformation. Sure enough, he asked right away.”
A few days ago, as soon as Mason and Aegis entered the Crossroads, they leaked the information to God Hand, who immediately reported it to me.
As soon as I heard that Mason approached Lucas, I immediately grabbed Mason and put him in jail… .
Could it be that this was all an act of calculation?
“The Aegis task force is not an easy place to keep a double agent alive.”
Mason chuckled as he put his foot on God Hand’s injured part.
“Aren’t you worried about your fellow countrymen who are living a hard day in the borough, elves? You act like this. Yes?”
Kwok-
When Mason’s boots pressed down on the wound, God Hand screamed impatiently.
“Aww!”
“Enough!”
I shouted and Mason glanced at me under his thick eyebrows. I chewed it up and spit it out.
“I don’t care about the elven slaves. Stop dragging your legs and tell me your main purpose.”
“The main purpose?”
“okay. There must be a reason why you guys came all the way to the southern tip of this distant continent and act like this.”
I gritted my teeth and asked.
“Are the consorts and children of 1st Prince L’Arc the goal?”
“That’s not our team’s business.”
“Then are you trying to kidnap me and kill me?”
“Not even that. majesty. It seems you have some misunderstandings about our task force. They’re not big enough to dare to harm the imperial family.”
Mason dared to talk nonchalantly about the kidnapping of the imperial family.
I couldn’t stand it and got angry.
“Then what the hell are you doing all this for? I’m not kidding, I look easy enough to play riddles with you?! Hurry up and solve the main purpose, I can’t get out of my city!”
“… .”
Mason, who briefly looked surprised at my shouting, eventually laughed.
“Don’t get too excited, Your Highness. You don’t seem to be feeling well.”
Mason stroked my forehead gently with his thick hand.
I was very upset because he was worried about me, as if he were my real uncle. I want to kill you bastard!
“Okay, to be honest, the reason I brought Her Highness like this is to help us with our mission… I will tell you everything.”
Mason brought a chair, put it in front of me, and put his big body on it.
Then, quietly, quietly, the story began.
“Your Highness Prince Ash. In fact, we were dispatched here… … A few months ago.”
“what?”
“A few months ago, when the intelligence network of Crossroads was destroyed, I came down to carry out a special mission along with restoring the intelligence network.”
Back when God Hand and Marherita were revealed to be spies. I destroyed the temple communication line that was connected to Marherita.
That was already half a year ago, but Mason had been dispatched here since then?
“Recovery of the intelligence line was easily solved. The problem was this special mission given by His Highness Fernandez himself.”
Mason scratched his chin shyly.
“No matter how much I tried for the past few months, I couldn’t carry out the mission, and I couldn’t return empty-handed, so I ended up using the extreme measure of kidnapping Highness Ash.”
“… .”
“We hope for Your Highness’ cooperation in carrying out the mission we have been given. That’s all.”
I asked bewildered.
“why… What is that mission?”
“The top priority special mission given to us by His Majesty Fernandez himself is… … .”
Mason hesitated for a moment, but eventually spoke frankly.
“… It is the ‘audience of the demon king’.”
“… ?”
The accident hardened for a moment.
It was so unexpected nonsense that my head couldn’t roll normally.
“what?”
what? What did you say?
Mason calmly explained once more.
“We were dispatched here as human representatives sent by His Highness Fernandez, who will become the next Emperor of the Empire, to personally meet the ‘Demon Lord’, the ruler of monsters.”
“… .”
It hardened and then I barely spit it out.
With only the utmost sincerity.
“What kind of bullshit is that, you idiots… ?”
***
Mason told everyone what they had done for the Demon King’s audience here at Crossroads over the past few months.
Getting a seat at Crossroads was easy.
This city, suffering from a chronic shortage of manpower, was a place where people did not hesitate to come to work.
They planted people in every corner and restored the spy network in an instant, but the devil’s audience was not resolved.
“I already knew the information that there was a dungeon under the Black Lake. The problem was how to enter the dungeon… … .”
Although they succeeded in entering the bottom of the Black Lake.
The main entrance to the Lake Kingdom was firmly closed and did not open, and no other access route could be found.
The only entrance, [Dry Drainage], is a place that cannot be entered without guidance from NPCs, but recently most NPCs have been kidnapped by the Nightmare Corps.
In the end, he was unable to enter the Lake Kingdom, let alone meet with the Demon King.
“In the end, the only time the main gate was open-when the monsters were on their way, we even carried out a strategy to enter the open door, but we had to retreat after losing half of our agents to the monsters pouring out.”
Mason, recalling the time, bowed his head to me.
“I can’t believe you have been fighting against such a terrible group of monsters over and over again… I really respect you, Your Highness Prince Ash. This is sincere.”
“… .”
I just listened, glaring at Mason. Mason shrugged and continued.
“When I was about to give up because I didn’t know what to do… I was able to get one piece of information. It was the story that His Highness, Prince Ash, freely came and went to the dungeon under the lake, and that guests from there once visited the Crossroads.”
“… .”
“So our strategy has changed. By asking Your Highness for cooperation. However, there is no way that His Majesty, who is hostile to monsters and demon lords, will readily help… … .”
“Are you kidnapped and threatened like this?”
“What happened?”
Mason laughed bitterly. I stuttered and asked.
“What are you going to do when you meet the Great King? When you, a human, meet that guy who is eager to destroy the public interest… … What are you talking about?”
Mason shrugged his shoulders and told me honestly with a voice, ‘Well, you’ve come this far and you have nothing to hide.’
“It is a declaration of surrender.”
“… .”
In an instant, my eyes turned white.
“… It must be that I am not well.”
I shook my head, took a deep breath, and opened my mouth.
“I think you misunderstood. Say it again. What did you say?”
“This is a declaration of surrender, Your Highness Prince Ash. It is an expression of complete surrender to the monstrosity of man.”
sigh.
My head started pounding. I wanted to run my hand over my aching temple, but my arms were tied and I couldn’t move.
At this point, it’s a category that can’t be understood by the sane.
I can’t explain it other than that it’s just crazy and tasteless and trolling.
no why the hell
“Who are you to vote for a serenade while leaving those who fight so damn hard?! These crazy dogs! Right now! At the outpost, my soldiers are fighting to the death against monsters!”
He roared loudly. Mason just listened quietly.
“I can’t help that, but you’re going to play behind the scenes like this? I can’t understand a single thing! Why did Fernandez rebel and want to surrender to the demon king again?!”
“How could a hound like me know the deep intentions of Her Majesty Fernandez? I am simply carrying out the mission I have been given.”
Mason licked his lips bitterly and continued.
“However, His Highness Fernandez said this.”
“what?”
“’This is the only way to save the empire’.”
“… .”
“No one will understand, but this is the only way. I’m ready to accept everyone’s pointing and insults if it can make the empire last.”
I groaned as I brushed my teeth.
“We cannot cooperate.”
“Your Highness Prince Ash.”
“Do you think I’m going to cooperate with something like that because I’m crazy?”
My head hurt and I felt like throwing up, but I couldn’t stand it and screamed again.
“Fernandez is neither the emperor nor the commander of this monster front! You don’t deserve anything!”
“… well how about His Highness Fernandez will be the Emperor, and the Emperor is in charge of all fronts of the Empire. And he is the one who represents all human beings in this world.”
Mason nodded with a serious face.
“Soon, this world will move according to His Majesty Fernandez’s will.”
“I will stop.”
“Before that, why don’t we worry about Her Highness’ body first?”
Mason, who had risen from his chair, approached me with menacing steps. I gritted my teeth.
“I heard earlier that your liver isn’t big enough to harm the imperial family?”
“Usually, yes. However, for the sake of the mission, the Aegis task force is a group of people who can make livers without them.”
“Such a fucking crazy bastard… .”
I ferociously chewed and spat it out.
“Soon my men will come. Lucas, the young boy you served, will raise a sword in front of you and slit your head.”
Mason, who came right in front of me, shrugged.
“Mister Lucas is dead.”
“what… ?”
“I just stabbed my heart with my hand.”
Mason pointed to the blood spattering all over his body. I opened my eyes.
“Do not lie.”
“There is no salvation, Your Highness Prince Ash. Please help me to do my duty when I say nice things.”
Mason’s huge hand grabbed my shoulder.
“Today, my patience is a bit shallow. Beast shoes are all good, but the problem is that the string of reason is getting thinner little by little… … No, is this also an advantage?”
Mason smiled dangerously, put his hand on my shoulder, and-
“I’m kidding. There is a much more gentlemanly way.”
I slowly withdrew my hand.
Then he took out a syringe filled with pink liquid from his bosom. I opened my eyes.
“I don’t think… .”
“yes. A compulsory hypnotic extracted from a dreamer. It’s a really hard thing to find in modern times, when dream horses are almost extinct.”
Mason smiled confidently.
“No matter how strong-willed you are, you can crawl on the floor like a cute pet with this one.”
“… .”
“Hehe, Your Highness will have to do as I say.”
I shook my shoulders pretending to be terrified. Oh, terrifying!
‘I’m completely immune to mental disorders… … .’
Even the enchantment of the succubus queen doesn’t work, so I wonder if the hypnotic drug extracted from the dreamer under it will work!
This is bulletproof glass, you bastard!
‘More than that… … .’
I bit my lip and looked outside through the window.
‘Lucas… … dead?’
