I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 361
◈ 361. [STAGE 15] Even after the start of the war,
Lily and I toured the forward bases and talked to various union leaders who were repairing them.
After examining various equipment to be used for this defense, the guild leaders finally guided me to a room in the basement of the advance base.
“I heard that the operation is being carried out on the premise of the capture of the forward base here.”
“That’s it.”
“His Highness often directs the command, but it seems that a dangerous situation could arise by chance… … .”
The union leaders manipulated the walls of the basement and opened the hidden stone gate.
“I tried to create a space where you can safely hide in case of an emergency.”
“Hoo… .”
“It was not installed in a spatially solid manner, but camouflage magic was applied. But if you hide inside, you can go unnoticed for a few days.”
Startled, I opened my eyes wide and looked inside.
The space is so small that one person can barely squeeze in. There is also a little bit of water and dry matter inside.
I put my body in that space as a test. It is narrow enough to barely maneuver. This is almost a coffin.
“It’s a bit narrow.”
“This is a single-person facility only for Your Highness in preparation for emergencies.”
“Can we make it bigger? So that it can fit about ten people… … .”
“That level lacks facilities, resources, and space. Above all, it will make you unsafe.”
Well, the bigger the space, the higher the chance of getting caught by enemies.
“It is an emergency facility for emergencies.”
“okay. We shouldn’t have to hide in a place like this in the first place.”
Anyway, thank you for this kind consideration. I thanked the union leaders.
Climbing to the ground, I nodded toward the south.
“Let’s go see that damn lake one last time.”
Take the teleport gate and move to [Lakeside Pier].
The entrance to hell from which monsters will rise when the invasion begins. We arrived at the Black Lake.
thud! thud! thud!
Bang bang bang… … .
Loud hammering sounds echo around.
On the shore of the lake, more workers than those assigned to the outpost were gathered and sweating to install something.
It was a ‘trap’ that we had been working hard on.
Lily, who was looking down at the gigantic structure, swallowed dry saliva.
“Really, this… Will it work?”
“It is well worth the walk.”
I crossed my arms and carefully inspected the structure being built.
As long as this works properly.
This defense… … You can win very easily. You can also eat it whole raw.
“Come on everyone! The monster invasion is just around the corner!”
Looking back at the workers working on the lakeside, I raised my voice and encouraged them.
“You are protecting the world! Let’s do our best for a few more days!”
***
Time goes by so quickly.
One day before the monsters invaded the outpost. night.
“… .”
I was doing one last check of the plan of action lying in disarray on my desk.
In the meantime, he had trained his subordinate heroes and soldiers in various strategies, but this battle was on an unprecedented scale.
Will everything be possible within the framework of these operations… … .
It was then.
Knock. smart. Knock.
A knock rang at the office door.
once twice once. Only one person knocks with that pattern. I answered.
“come in.” It was
Lucas
who opened the door and came in. I narrowed my brows.
This guy has been knocking that way ever since the last task force incident.
It seems to be a secret password that was decided together with Ash in childhood.
At the time of the last incident, I accidentally used that pattern, so it seems that after that, I’m mistaken that I’m looking for old memories.
No, it’s just a pattern I came up with and used. How could I know something like Ash’s childhood memories… … .
Anyway, this time Lucas came in with that knock and smiled. I put down the papers and winked.
“Oh Lucas. It’s a battle starting tomorrow morning, what are you doing without sleeping?”
The answer came out from behind Lucas’ back.
“A senior like that is not sleeping, what are you doing!”
Evangeline’s small face came out from behind Lucas. Subsequently, Damian and Junior’s heads came out from behind Lucas’ back.
“Good night, Prince!”
“Haha, don’t scold me too much, Your Highness… .”
They were the main party members. These guys came with drinks and snacks in their hands.
“We had a meeting in the parlor to prepare for tomorrow’s operation, but it’s already this time.”
Lucas explained.
“I was about to have a late-night snack, but the master’s office light was on. So I thought it would be nice to eat together.”
“Thank you for your heart, but I am busy… .”
I tried to refuse, but Evangeline was already throwing herself on the sofa in my office.
“Ah! Just looking at it, it looks like you’ll be wrapping your hair for a few more hours! Stop doing that and play with us for 10 minutes!”
“Yonseok… !”
“With the exam just around the corner, do you think your grades will go up just by looking at the notes you’ve already memorized? You think it might be more efficient to take a breather and rest?”
It’s not that there’s no point… … .
“We’re also nervous like a tight bowstring, so we’re doing this on purpose to relax a bit. Seniors, please join us too!”
“uh? Are you nervous too?”
“Then won’t you be nervous? The monsters are huge, but they suddenly became the party leader and… … .”
Evangeline pursed her lips and whispered.
“It’s the first time the main party with seniors has been disbanded, so I’m a bit anxious… .”
“… .”
Come to think of it, it was the first time the main party was officially disbanded.
After the party was confirmed with these members, whether I went up to the ecliptic or each acted individually, the form of a party was maintained no matter what.
It was the first time that all five of them had been scattered. It’s the first time that each of them has become party leaders. It would be embarrassing.
What’s more, 50,000 monsters are coming… … These guys will also have complicated feelings.
I smiled and put down the file I was reading.
“You will all do well.”
Because they are all talented young people.
Because they are heroes I can trust.
“Okay, okay. Let’s just rest for 10 minutes.”
“Oh yeah~”
Evangeline let out a strange cheer.
As if they had waited, the members of the main party sat down on the sofa in the office one after another and started eating snacks while chatting.
I thought as I swallowed my portion of hot coffee that Lucas handed me.
Together with these children, we will be able to overcome this battle and the future battles well.
Undoubtedly… … I bet it is.
***
Manor House Annex. The shadow unit’s quarters.
Lily and God Hand sat side by side on the bench in front of the door.
Lily, who had been sitting silently looking up at the night sky, spoke first.
“God Hand.”
After that, it was an awkward few days, but I finally gathered up my courage.
Lily tried to speak.
“we… .”
“Miss Lily.”
But God Hand took the lead.
“Don’t give birth to my child.”
“yes?”
Embarrassed, Lily looked toward God Hand. God Hand was facing Lily with a serious face.
“If you don’t want to get married because you fear your child will be unhappy, don’t have our child.”
“No, that… .”
I’ve just decided that it’s okay to have children… … .
God Hand continued to speak to Lily, who was overbearing.
“I will also give up the elf-style marriage.”
“uh? An elven wedding? What is it?”
“I’m setting up a bridal room on top of a tree. You have to live the first week of your life on a tree. Only in this way can you receive the spirit of the World Tree.”
“What kind of squirrel are you!”
“Ah, you have to eat only what comes from the tree. Fruits, nuts, leaves, sprouts, things like that… … .”
Isn’t this a complete asshole?!
God Hand nodded at Lily, who was frightened.
“I will give up everything.”
“huh… ?”
“As long as you stay by my side, nothing else matters. I don’t need all of them.”
God Hand reached out and took Lily’s hand.
“therefore… Please stay with me.”
“… .”
Lily smiled bitterly and took God Hand’s hand.
“Let’s think about it together.”
“yes?”
“There are still many days left for us, right? I’ll fit you more. Whether it’s children or elven marriages… … I will review it positively. Let’s think more together.”
Immediately after, Lily shook her head.
“… no. Even so, setting up a bridal chamber on top of a tree was too much. That’s not allowed.”
“They say it’s really fun when you actually do it. There’s a beautiful tree over there in the southwest of this city-”
“No! I’m not doing it!”
As Lily shook her head violently, God Hand became sullen.
Lily laughed involuntarily at the sight and attached herself to God Hand.
“I like God Hand.”
“… Lily.”
“I want to be with you for a long, long time… So you have to be careful in this battle.”
Lily yap! He made a noise and clenched his fists tightly.
“If you are in danger, call my name. I’ll fly in and save you. Roast all enemies.”
God Hand burst out laughing.
“I will only trust Lily.”
Lily’s head came up on God Hand’s shoulder. God Hand raised his cheek slightly over Lily’s red hair.
The lovers leaning on each other looked up at the stars in the far southern sky.

… The night was passing.
Time has passed in fairness to all.
Advance base simple lodging.
Even though tomorrow is a big battle, it is a crossroads refuge for Kuilan and the punishment unit who are sleeping peacefully scratching their
stomachs.
Dungeon base camp
for Dusk Bringer and her knights, who travel around to see if their people spend the night well in late winter .
A city near the crossroads
for Belldandi and the Holy Grail Exploration Team, who are very nervous about participating in the battle on the ground .
To Serenade and her upper rank who arrived here along the evacuation procession, to
countless heroes, soldiers, workers, and citizens.
“… God please.”
Temple.
To Marherita, who finishes her day at dawn and prays in front of the goddess statue before going to bed.
“To save the lives of as many patients as possible. give me strength… … .”
and. also.
The leper slaughterhouse.
Even Thorkel, who couldn’t take off his helmet until he fell asleep.
“… .”
Before battle, he did not pray to the goddess as he always did. Instead, to this man who looked up at the pale moon until dawn.
Time flows ruthlessly and evenly.
And far away in the east –
the sun began to rise.
Burning darkness and grace, the day of war… … It was coming light.
***
Dawn.
A simple inn for the goblin god king.
《Great Kali-Alexandr.》 A
goblin Amir came in and informed Kali-Alexandr that he was fully equipped and even wrapped in a cloak.
“Invasion day.”
“Hmm.”
Carly-Alexandre, wearing a scimitar around her waist for the last time, nodded.
《Eggplant.》
Flutter!
As Carly-Alexandre exited the lodge, it was the central square.
There, his corps numbering 50,000 was waiting in an orderly manner.
thud! thud! thud!
The goblins slammed their weapons on the floor in unison. The entire area vibrated at the sound of a weapon being struck at once.
It was a heart-throbbing spectacle.
Suddenly, the faces of the wizard couple who took care of themselves and raised them appeared in Carly-Alexandre’s mind.
A bitter smile crossed Carly-Alexandre’s lips.
‘iced coffee. mother and father.’
rather then When you find me in the field
You should have killed me… … .
If that were the case, a monster like this wouldn’t have been born- 《
Go ahead
!
《Because we were born for that.》
That’s how the war started.
