I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 394
◈ 394. [Evil Side] Farm
Lake Kingdom Dungeon Area 10. ‘Farm’.
On this expansive land that suddenly spread out in the center of the city, there were endless rows of fruit trees planted at knife-like intervals.
A barn on one side, and rice paddies and fields on the other… … .
A high-end farm exclusively for the royal family that originally supplied food to the royal castle.
Covered with clean glass walls, this facility uses magic to maintain the optimum temperature and lighting for plant growth.
Even now, after the kingdom was destroyed and covered in darkness and monsters, this place is still functioning.
By the will of the owner who currently occupies this farm.
again.
The terrace of the mansion in the center of the farm overlooking this spacious and beautiful farm.
The red wine dripped into a wine glass placed on an outdoor table with a clear sound.
《Do you know the difference between fermentation and spoilage?
》 A deep voice came out of his mouth.
“The principle of both is the same. In other words, it is ‘rotten’ because germs proliferate. But the results are different. If it rots like that and the taste and aroma deepen, it gives off a fermented stench and toxicity, it’s called corruption.”
The man grabbed the glass and turned it around. The red wine spun and spun as if it was about to overflow the inside of the glass.
“It is equally rotten, but if it is beneficial to humans, it is fermented, otherwise it is corruption. Isn’t that a very convenient standard?”
“… .》
《There is a flavor like this wine even when spoiled, there is a time to harvest, and there is a trick to ripening. Humans do not know and do not want to know its true taste.”
The man slowly raised the glass and examined the red liquid in the light of the farm.
“So I tried to enlighten humans with the aesthetics of my corruption. Unable to accept my ideology, humans treated me as a monster.”
The man chuckled.
《Ohh Tongjaro! They called me a great doctor when I did what they wanted, but when I did what I wanted, they treated me like a plague monster. It’s really arbitrary. I’ve always been consistently studying rot.”
“… .”
“So I became a monster as people wished. Using my own body as a seedling, I planted all the corruption I had studied in my body… … I have become the incarnation of the plague.”
Gulp-
The man drank his cup.
After swallowing all the red wine in the glass, the man let out a satisfied exclamation and put the glass down. And I looked across the table.
“This has been a long talk. why don’t you take Except for the sake brewed directly on our farm. It tastes really good.”
“… .》
《A treasure trove of stir-fry to drink the liquor brewed by the Master of the Plague. Or did your appetite run away when you saw my naked face? Either way, I have to understand.” After
wiping his mouth, the man picked up the mask lying on the table. It was a white crow mask.
The man wore a hoodie and a black bowler hat over it.
The 4th Rank Commander of the Nightmare Corps.
Plague Legion Lord- Raven sat down and looked across.
《So, what’s your business today?》
《… .]
《I don’t keep talking like that, so I don’t have to talk to myself.》
Sitting across from Raven was a frost giant.
He was very small for a frost giant. It was slightly larger than a normal human.
However, this man is the leader of the Frost Giant Corps and the last king.
Among the beasts of Hell under this lake, one of the strongest was Hraim the Frost King.
Hraim, who had been glaring at Raven without opening his mouth even once, finally lifted his heavy lips.
《I will quit.》
《What do you mean?》
《I will stop living as a dog of your plague corps.》 After
succinctly speaking, Hraim pushed his chair and stood up. Raven tilted her head to the side.
“That means your wife and children who are held hostage by our Legion… Can I take it as meaning to throw it away?”
“… !]
Hraim turned around with his eyes wide open and growled fiercely.
《You’ve been holding my wife and children hostage for hundreds of years and treating us frost giants like your servants.》 《I
thought it was a good partnership.》
《Again, by your command, we send troops to capture the succubus queen. dispatched But the result was annihilation. Now, the few warriors left in my race have been consumed in vain because of your orders.” “
You say it as if I killed your warriors.”
Raven shrugged, sneering.
“I asked for cooperation and you accepted. The reason you were wiped out by the Succubus Queen was because your subordinates were weak.”
《… .]
《I lost all my subordinates and couldn’t catch a single dream horse left alone, and I was annihilated, so even the
frost giant was gone.
Hraim, who was about to pull out the greatsword kicked in his back and attack Raven at any moment, eventually let out a long breath and reaped his morale.
《As of this time, the frost giant corps will end the master-servant relationship with the plague corps.》
Hraim turned around and started walking.
“Those who are held hostage can do as they please. either kill or live. It is no longer our jurisdiction.”
“How cold is the Frost King. Are you going to abandon your wife and child?”
“I don’t think this is a story for you, who held the Frost King’s wife and child hostage for hundreds of years and never returned them no matter how much they begged and begged for them.” Hraim strode towards the center of the farm
. left the mansion of no i was trying to get away
Stumble.
《… ?”
Suddenly, his vision lowered.
Hraim, who was puzzled, soon noticed that he was kneeling on the floor. It collapsed due to the loss of strength in the leg.
“what… ?]
My stomach feels nauseous and my eyes feel dizzy.
Hraim belatedly realized that blood was pouring out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.
He gnashed his teeth as he collapsed, bleeding horribly from all the holes in his body.
“I haven’t even tasted the alcohol you offered me, but what is this… .]
《You sound like an idiot.》
Raven slowly approached Hraim and tapped the mask he was wearing with his fingertips.
“If you were wary of my abilities, you shouldn’t have even breathed in front of me.”
“Yes… bloke… .”
“Hasn’t it been hundreds of years since you met me face to face? Did you believe that I hadn’t planted a plague in your body?”
In front of Hraim, who was convulsing all over, he lowered his waist and said,
“There is nothing to worry about. The Frost King.”
Raven laughed dully in a voice that clearly contained ridicule.
“You are just returning to hell, where your wife and children are waiting first.”
“This… disgusting and dirty… … The plague monster… … .]
Hraim cursed while glaring at Raven until the end.
“Leave and see. The power of frost… … i won’t forgive you… … won’t… … .]
Those were the last words of Frost King Hraim.
The frost giant fell on his face and stiffened his whole body.
It was the paralyzing poison that Raven had infiltrated his body, so he did not die, but was now captured alive.
And if you are captured alive by the Lord of Plague, there is only one outcome.
《There is a new high-quality ‘field’ for the new plague to grow in.]
Become part of the ‘farm’ where the seeds of the plague are sown, nurtured and harvested.
《A plague that grows in the body of the Frost Giant King. It will undoubtedly produce a great flavor of corruption.”
Raven licked her lips as she inspected the Frost King’s mighty body. I was already looking forward to what kind of new plague would be born.
Fuck!
When Raven snapped his fingers in the air, caw
caw… .
Hundreds of crows swarmed, grabbed the Frost King’s body in their claws and began carrying it away.
《The Frost Giant Corps have been using their limbs well for a long time, but they are getting out of my arms like this… … Which corps should I recruit next?”
Raven clicked his tongue.
There is no such thing as a ‘army’ under the plague corps.
Flies and Crows Rats and Worms – As members of the living Plague, they rule over these vectors, but there are no subordinate entities that move with reason and consciousness.
Because just being with him for a long time is addictive, so no one could last long by Raven’s side.
One Man Plague.
The one who is the legion alone and the plague alone. That is Raven, the master of plague.
Because of this, the Plague Legion always suffered from a manpower shortage. Even if Raven himself struggled by creating an alter ego, the limits were clear.
So, Raven always formed alliances with other corps and managed them by subsuming them as subordinates.
However, the Werewolf Corps and the Dream Demon Corps, which had formed an alliance at best, were annihilated. Even the frost giants, who had been subordinate for a long time, had fallen away… … .
《The werewolf remnants and the frost giant remnants will all be used as a ‘field’ for the new plague… … .”
Raven clicked his tongue.
《We still haven’t been able to catch the dream demon corps we’ve been waiting for the most.》
What form will the pestilence cultivated in the body of the mental body, the dream demon?
As a researcher and seeker, Raven was always curious.
However, the dream demon corps were annihilated by the human player on their own… … Now, the only remaining sample, Salome, was frequently failing to secure.
He dispatched several small legions under his command to capture Salome, who was left alone, but the succubus skillfully escaped each time.
This time, I sent an army of frost giants, but the frost giants were completely wiped out.
《Anyway, as a monster, your legion cannot be revived, Salome.》
Raven murmured lowly as they headed towards the back of the farm.
《Then, how about it being used as a basis for my research?》
Anyway, to Raven, a colleague was like that.
Weak beings that are polluted with poison and die if left next to them for a long time.
If so, wouldn’t it be better to use it as a field to conceive a new plague?
So, if you are reborn as a plague that never existed before and dwell in Raven’s body- you will be able to live together forever and ever.
Raven truly thought that this was a lasting camaraderie.
After moving Frost King Hraim’s body to the appropriate location, Raven sown the seeds of corruption in the Frost Giant’s body.
As if he was genuinely happy, even a hum flowed from under his crow mask.
After finishing all the work, Raven wiped his hands with a reverent gesture and headed to the warehouse on one side of the farm.
《The day we sowed a new plague on the body of the King of Frost… … I can’t help but have a drink at such a monumental moment.”
Even though he was the owner of a plague that rots the world with his power of corruption.
He was truly an American drinker when it came to alcohol.
Only fruits and grains were kept clean without using the power of corruption, and it was his pleasure to ferment and mature them with time and effort.
“There was Seondo harvested just in time. It would be special if you drink it with the peach wine made last year.”
When Raven opened the warehouse door, thrilled with the small pleasure to wrap up the day like that-
《… ?”
Raven noticed something was wrong.
There was no
The deepest place even in the fruit warehouse. His precious collection of only the rarest, specialty fruits – had vanished cleanly.
《What… … ?”
Looking at the empty cupboard, Raven groaned in bewilderment.
Peach Seondo (仙桃) grows by feeding on mana.
Among them, the peninsula is said to open only once every 3,000 years. The peach, said to be rarer than any elixir, had disappeared without a trace.
And that wasn’t all.
In addition to that, the precious magical fruits that Raven has been harvesting with great effort for a long time are bestowed with dozens of preservation magics and stored in the best condition, and all of those things that were too wasteful to drink tea or drink, just to look at – are gone
.
brushed off
“how… .》
Raven’s shoulders trembled with passion.
《Someday a big madman dares to sneak into the depths of this Plague Lord’s farm and steal… … !]
There were many times when the farm was robbed. Most of the monsters in the Lake Kingdom are full of greed.
However, this was the first time he had ever picked out and stole such a precious special item. It was the first time he felt such anger after being resurrected here in the Lake Kingdom.
Unable to control the power of corruption, miasma boiled over from Raven’s body.
All the other fruits and grains piled up in the warehouse rotted away.
“I will definitely kill you… ! The one who stole mine too! Even the greedy one! Everything!”
Raven shouted in a voice filled with anger and grief.
《I will find and kill them all!》
***
The way to get out of District 10 and enter District 9.
Mason is in the forefront of the reconnaissance, and Salome is in the last row, observing the surroundings as well. and I’m
cool
I’m eating the fruit that Salome got yesterday.
It’s all about eating and living, but you have to do it while eating. Mason and Salome don’t seem to need any supplies, but I can move only when I eat and sleep.
Especially from today, it is entering District 9.
Unlike the 10th district, which exudes a calm atmosphere like the final district, the 9th district is a living hell of misery. The battle will begin in earnest, so supplies are important.
Crunchy!
I took a bite of a peach and opened my eyes wide.
“Wow, what is this peach? It is very delicious.”
“Is it delicious? is it delicious? Whoops. I heard that I had a hard time sneaking up on you.”
Salome was smug in the back.
But it’s not empty words, it’s really delicious. Slightly better than canned peaches sold on Earth?
No, the fruits of the earth are the best fruits that have been improved through breeding by leading scholars.
Is it a huge compliment that the fruits of this fantasy world are tastier than those of Earth?
‘Maybe it’s because of my mood.
After clearing one, the whole body is energized. I looked at Salome and asked.
“Do you have a lot of fruit left?”
“huh! I brought a lot. Don’t worry if you eat it all! It’s okay to go to that farm again and do frosting!”
Stealing crops that others have worked hard to grow is a bad thing… … .
From what I’ve heard, it seems that this is the fruit that one of the monster corps commanders grew for me to eat. You don’t have to feel any remorse.
“okay. please don’t It’s delicious.”
《Hee hee! Leave it to us!》
Salome raised her nose and exclaimed triumphantly.
《If it’s for you, I’ll come to the farm until it’s gone!》
I don’t know who the owner of the farm is.
Please don’t stress too much about our frost… … .

And when we arrived at the place connecting District 10 and District 9 – ‘Daegyo Bridge’.
“… ?!”
Someone blocked our way to enter the wide bridge.
