I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 455

◈ 455. [Side Story]

The morning after the key.

A fugitive has occurred in the military camp of the World Defense Front.

The remnants of the 1st Legion, including Metallic, and some of the Fallen King’s forces have disappeared. I ran away at night before I did the intense newspaper.

“It looks like everyone who escaped last night ran to Fernandez.”

I grinned after announcing the fugitives to the remaining kings.

“All of you who are left here have made up your mind to defend the banner of our world defense front… You can look at it that way.”

All of them were attached to the Emperor, not to Fernandez. Well, you can look at it like that.

There may still be those who hesitate, but the last train to leave for Fernandez has been cut off.

Those who remain here will now be mobilized for all-out war against Fernandez, whether they like it or not.

“It is a pity to miss the fugitives. If we had captured it, there would have been a lot of information we could dig up.”

One of the kings said:

That’s right. If they had been strictly guarded, they could have been captured.

‘But that’s how it gets in the way of my key infiltration operation.’

I deliberately placed the guards poorly and did not stop the fugitives even though I was informed of their escape movements.

I watched silently as they ran away in a hurry to the north.

In other words, I sent it on purpose.

‘Those sent this time will guide us into the ecliptic.’

I glanced north.

I hope that those who ran away and ran away will quickly reach New Terra.

***

Ecliptic New Terra.

south gate.

All over, all over… … .

A series of troops appeared on horseback in front of the closed door.

Those who looked exhausted and tired were all those who had escaped from the world defense front last night.

In the lead, Metallic, commander of the 1st Corps of the Imperial Army, was driving a horse with a hard face.

“Hey hey hey!”

They stopped in front of the closed south gate.

Whiiying –

A desolate wind blew.

Outside of the city, surrounded by huge walls, there are no signs of anyone. instead.

Clap! Clap!

The magical Mercury Devices emitting ferocious light sensed the moving creatures and aimed their muzzles at once.

gulp… !

Dry saliva went down everyone’s throat.

Even though I knew it was a formal procedure, it was never pleasant to see machines aiming at the life of this side that could tear a living person to pieces in an instant.

Everyone looked nervous, but there were a few soldiers who seemed particularly nervous.

They were the five soldiers who stood at the very end of the 1st Corps under Metallic.

No, five people dressed up as soldiers.

“Sir, what the fuck… … .”

The woman with light purple hair gnashed her trembling teeth and spat out.

“How did you come all the way here? … .”

She was Violet, the leader of the gambler’s party, the ‘Gamble Club’.

The 5 heroes of the gambler’s party ‘Gamble Club’. They were mixed in here wearing the uniforms of the 1st Corps and disguised as Metallic’s subordinates.

Violet lifted her face, glistening with cold sweat, and glanced at the south gate of New Terra.

It seemed that the magic water-based devices installed on the left and right of the strong castle gate would emit magical flames at any moment.

Wiping her palms wet with cold sweat on the hem of her pants, Violet recalled the conversation she had with Ash a few days ago.

– I will tell you about the mission that the five of you will take on this time.

I was suddenly called in the middle of the night and ran to the commander’s barracks, and Ash continued by introducing Metallic.

– You disguise yourself as one of Lord Metallic’s subordinates and enter the ecliptic with Lord Metallic.

– yes?

– Lord Metallic was Fernandez’s spy, but he switched to our side again. In short, it will serve as a double agent. You move together as Lord Metallic’s subordinates.

The faces of the 5 gamblers party turned dark. Ash laughed.

– Why? Didn’t all of you want to go back to the ecliptic?

– No, I did… … ! Asking me to go in now is like putting my face in the mouth of a crocodile!

– Didn’t you try to rob me of gambling? Wasn’t that supposed to be putting your face in the mouth of a crocodile?

– No, that’s… … .

Ash gave a smirk to Violet, who was speechless.

– It’s no different from what you’ve always done. Disguise yourself as a soldier and enter the heart of the world… … .

match!

Ash’s hands clapped loudly once.

– If you come out with a splendid scam, all the gold and silver treasures of the emperor are yours.

– … .

– Don’t deny it. This is the riskiest gambling table you’ve ever faced in your life.

Ash stared at the five gamblers in turn.

– Instead, the reward is enormous. Huge rewards you’ve never faced in your life.

– … .

– Everyone, let’s try the best hantang.

There is no right of veto anyway.

Since I came all the way here, it is impossible to fail. The option to step back does not exist.

Even if it’s a waste of what I’ve poured in, I must pick it up and go back… … !

“So don’t be afraid. Violet.”

Scarlett is the only N-class hero among the five and has the best gambling skills in this party with only hand skills and no special abilities.

She lightly squeezed Violet’s shoulder. Violet turned her trembling face to her.

“His Highness Prince Ash is right. Isn’t that what we always do anyway?”

“Scarlett… .”

“Catch Hogu and commit fraud. That’s all.”

Looking up at the still unopened south gate, a strange desire blazed in the eyes of the girl gambler.

“In New Terra, the world’s largest city of the world’s most powerful empire, they cheat against the fake emperor who is trying to rule the world… … .”

“… .”

“As a gambler, do you have another chance to go beyond this?”

Ash was right.

Gamblers are a group of perverted psychos who are addicted to risking their lives.

Scarlett’s shoulders were trembling slightly. But it wasn’t because of fear or tension.

It was exciting.

The excitement of a gambler in front of a huge gambling board that will never be seen again.

Violet looked around with a tired face. The degree was different, but the complexion of the other members – Lime Orange Cobalt was not too different.

Everyone’s eyes were shining with strange longing.

Only then did Violet notice.

I don’t know if I have the best ability among them.

The fact that he is the most fearful of them all.

“Since the game has already happened, I will jump in. I will try dancing excitedly on a single rope.”

“Then what if it goes wrong?”

“You’re always prepared for that, aren’t you?”

Scarlett waved her small hand.

“Your palms are flying.”

“… .”

“If you’re less fortunate, even your hair will fly off. Haha.”

A gambler is such a being.

It’s like a clown performing tricks on a long, thin rope. If you get sprained even once, you will fall down and die.

When all five of them were defeated by Ash last time.

Scarlett was prepared to die. But Ash saved them all and put them under his command.

From the moment she was defeated by Ash in the first place, the gambler Scarlett fell off the rope.

She thought the gallows was already hanging around her neck.

So what is there to be afraid of?

After all, there is no life attached to this neck anymore.

The five gamblers swallowed dry saliva and waited for the door to open quickly. It was then.

“Clarify your affiliation and identity.”

A dull broadcast sound rang from the gate. Metallic shouted in a gruff voice.

“Metallic, commander of the 1st Heavy Knight Division of the 1st Corps of the Imperial Army. I was dispatched under a secret order from Her Majesty Fernandez, and I am on my way back.”

“… .”

“Hurry up and open the door. We are all tired.”

Metallic started to lose his temper, and after a while the broadcast sound rang.

“Your identity has been confirmed. Please wait a moment. I will open the door… … .”

Kugoogu Palace… !

The door started to open.

A blush flashed across the faces of the members of the Gamble Club, who were waiting nervously. A faint relief came over Metallic’s face as well.

It was then.

Go-oh-!

I heard a strong engine sound from beyond the wall, and I threw myself

into school… !

Three gigantic airships appeared in the sky as if bouncing.

A jet-black airship with a sword and a rose, the symbols of the imperial family. And two escort ships covered with thick iron plates followed to the left and right.

Among them, the empty space was very famous.

The flagship of the imperial family, and now the strongest airship of the empire, used as the exclusive aircraft of Fernandez and the magic corps.

“Alcatraz… !”

oh oh oh-!

Alcatraz flew in with a terrifying mechanical sound and lifted its heavy body above the south gate.

Keyiing… … .

Slowly, the hatch beneath the nostril opened, and an elderly sorceress appeared with a wand and a fluttering coat.

[Sir Metallic.]

As she opened her mouth, her voice amplified dully through the airship’s speakers.

“You have returned. Thank you for your hard work.”

“… Sir Rayna.”

Metallic, noticing the opponent’s voice, gnashed his teeth.

“You seem to be having a lot of trouble too.”

Reina smiled at Metallic’s answer.

“Aren’t you in a position to sacrifice your body and soul for the sake of each other’s empire? I just work hard.”

“Then may I come in? I’ve been dying to play the role of a spy I’m not used to.”

“That can’t be right,”

Reina shrugged.

「As you know, many rats have been blocking His Majesty Fernandez’s plan. I’m being extra careful.”

The atmosphere was unusual.

The five gamblers in the gamble club felt cold sweat welling up on their backs. Metallic also pretended to be unconcerned, but goose bumps ran down his old spine.

“I’m going to do a little inspection to see if you brought other rats with you.

”

“It’s nothing. We’re going to check if there are any other members of the police unit registered on our side, along with personal information.”

Reina let out a short laugh.

“I’m sure you didn’t do anything suspicious, Lord Metallic.”

“… .”

“It will be over soon. All you have to do is stay still.”

The headlights of Alcatraz, which started flying low, emitted a dazzling magical light and scanned the people standing in front of the South Gate as if scanning them.

Metallic gritted his teeth and the gamblers closed their eyes.

I don’t think it will take you straight from the entrance… … !

“… Hmm.」

However,

after reviewing the scan results for a moment, Reina said in a very light tone.

“No problem.”

“… ?!”

“Sorry to have kept you waiting. You may enter. Welcome to New Terra Lord Metallic. And everyone who came with me.」

Reina raised her hand in salute and disappeared into the airspace.

「Then I’m off to carry out another mission.」

Giiing-

The hatch door slowly closed.

Alcatraz and the two frigates slowly floated back into the air and flew away, blasting huge flames from their thrusters. Tuhak… … !

“… .”

“… .”

The gamblers, who had been watching the scene dumbfounded, noticed the change only then. Purple magic was wrapped around their bodies.

“Whoop whoop whoop!”

When he turned around to find the epicenter of the purple magic that disappeared belatedly, he found Violet gasping for breath.

In that instant, Violet opened the illusion realm and passed Reina’s scan.

“article… .”

With a cold sweat on her face, Violet barely sighed.

“It almost became X, damn it… .”

Violet was a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of Violet was a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of Violet was a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of

The rest of the gamblers laughed. Metallic let out a sigh of relief and looked ahead.

Kugoogu Palace… … !

The southern gates of New Terra were now wide open.

Is that inside a paradise of gold and silver or the entrance to hell?

If you go in now, you’ll know.
