I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 556
◈ 556. [Evil Side] Impregnable (5)
“I’m sorry Damian.”
On the way back to the Crossroads from District 8 of the Lake Kingdom.
Ash apologized when sniper Damian, who had been waiting from afar, joined.
“I entrusted you with a difficult task again.”
Ash instructed Damian to shoot so that Jackal could die comfortably. And Damian carried out that order without hesitation.
“I’m OK. Prince.”
Damian silently nodded.
“It was to make Jackal-sama feel comfortable, right?”
“… .”
“And forward… You can entrust the mission of sniping them.”
Damian glared at his enemies with clear eyes. Not far away, the fallen knights were swallowing their mouths while watching this.
“I may have been a man once, but… Because now they are unmistakably monsters.”
“… .”
After inhaling, Ash exhaled in a strong tone.
“Let’s go back.”
The hand holding the flagstick was white from how much strength had gone into it.
Grinding his teeth, Ash chewed and spat.
“To thoroughly annihilate them without leaving a single one behind. Let’s get ready.”
***
A few days later.
black lake.
Shoot Aaaaaa!
The surface of the water split and the 13 members of the Fallen Knights appeared.
Originally, she should have been stopped by a nameless person, but for some reason, she did not even appear in front of the fallen knights.
The battle between the Black Dragon Corps and the Demon Guardian Corps has escalated, and the Lake Kingdom is currently in extreme chaos.
The fallen knights could only guess that the one who had lost his name might be caught up in the battle there.
The Dark Event that the Fallen Knights received this time was ‘strengthening’.
The effect is simple. Amplifies all stats at once.
It was a dark event that made their individual power even more powerful even though they were already a small elite legion, the Fallen Knights.
In order to march forward without losing a single person to the person who had lost his name, the acting director gave it after much thought, but the person who had lost his name did not even appear.
The situation was dubious, but it was thankful if they didn’t block it anyway.
In the end, all 13 people were able to fully step on the ground of the outside world.
Tadak –
After riding on the body horse, a horse made of bones and rotten flesh, on the ground.
“Is it the sun… .》
Raising his head and looking up at the sky, the fallen king Pendragon frowned in the helmet.
《It still sprinkles the hateful light.》
This is the southern part of the continent.
The summer afternoon sun shone straight down on the fallen knights. It was hot and bright. It was not a very pleasant environment for the monsters buried in darkness.
《That winter, they didn’t even shine at us… … .”
“After destroying the people, let’s make the sun fall as well. Great King.]
《Kihi kihihihi What does the sun taste like? … .》
One of the fallen knights, who were giggling while exchanging jokes, suddenly rubbed his stomach with a serious expression.
“Anyway, the king is hungry, but… .]
《How long has it been since
you ate? … .》
After being revived in the Lake Kingdom, the Fallen Knights were completely free from food problems.
That’s also true, because all the humans in the Lake Kingdom were cursed with eternal life, and no matter how much they ate, they would soon come back to life.
Although they were flat and boring prey that had no reaction even if they were chewed alive because they were completely mesmerized. Thanks to this, the Fallen Knights have always had plenty.
However, as soon as they left the base and marched out, they felt empty. And Pendragon was also hungry.
Pendragon ran his hand over his empty stomach.
《… You must be hungry.”
“I’m hungry, hungry, hungry… .》
Unbearably, one knight began biting his own finger. Pendragon clenched his tongue and gestured towards the advance base on the side of Inse, which could be seen not far away.
“good night. Let’s invade that place right away. Judging by the size, there must be plenty of food.”
“Kihi kihihi! Come on, come on!”
“Gulp. Honey.”
“I want to chew on the beating heart… !]
The 13 fallen knights hurriedly approached the advance base, drooling through the gap of the helmet.
These 13 knights were full of confidence in their own prowess, but they were also fully aware of the overwhelming record of the defending army on the Inse side.
From the spider queen to the vampire king to the wolf king to the goblin god king to the ghost pirate captain to the magic master. According to rumors heard here, even the daughter of the Plague Lord and the Dream Demon.
A mighty defense line that is said to have defeated as many as eight nightmare corps commanders. Crossroads is not lacking in being called the last line of defense for royalties.
Except for himself, Pendragon was ignoring all those who called themselves kings in the Lake Kingdom.
But even so, I didn’t think they were weak.
These monsters were defeated by Inse’s commander and defenders.
‘Admit it. The defense force of the royal family is strong.’
So don’t be careless
They will crush it with all their might and chew the flesh of their enemies as trophies. An evil laugh flowed through Pendragon’s gaping helm.
《Everyone draw your weapons!》
Let’s judge that the forward base is close enough and is within range of the enemy’s interception.
Pendragon pulled out his greatsword – the cannibal sword Xcarnival. Then, the subordinate knights pulled out their terrible weapons in unison.
A longsword entwined with huge scythe tentacles, a flaming longsword fueled by human oil. … .
After looking around at those subordinates, Pendragon pointed his greatsword forward and shouted.
“It’s dinner time! Assault-!”
《Do uh-uh-uh-!》
《Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat!》 The
13 knights all sprinted on their bodies and galloped toward the advance base.
But why?
《… ?”
Despite the fact that the fallen knights were approaching moment by moment, there was no interception at the forward base.
‘what?’
Before degenerating into a monster, Pendragon, who was known as the King of Conquerors, felt strange. He was a man who had been through many wars in his life.
Why didn’t the interception fly?
Could it be that this is a trap that they want to knock out after attracting more of them?
no but… … .
‘I can’t feel the presence at all?’
From the forward base, not only the interception, but nothing flew.
As if empty with no one… … .
Soon, the other fallen knights also noticed the anomaly. All the knights gradually slowed down and slowly stopped in front of the gate of the forward base.
《Great King!》
At that time, the long-haired corrupt knight approaching the castle gate called out to Pendragon in a panicked tone.
《The door is open, Great King!》
《What… … ?”
When the surprised Pendragon saw it, it was true.
The thick gates of the forward base were not locked, but were gently opened as if to let them in.
[Let’s go in first.]
The long-haired Fallen Knight stood in the lead and opened the castle gate, and the rest of the Fallen Knights followed closely, ready to attack the inside at any time.
But- it wasn’t.
interception too. enemy too. no nothing
After confirming that there were no enemies, the fallen knights rushed into the advance base. And I was perplexed as I looked inside the empty advance base.
The outpost, clean and perfectly maintained, was empty. Pendragon fell silent.
“They don’t use these facilities for defense? just leave it blank… … ?”
“The great king. There is no one.”
The fallen knights who looked around the entire base returned and reported.
《Looking at the sense of life, it looks like a facility that was used until just yesterday… … They seem to have known we were coming and let them out.”
“… .]
Pendragon was suspicious of something, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t kill an enemy that didn’t exist.
“i get it. First, rob the warehouse here and find food. Let’s start with a meal.]
《The Great King! I don’t want to eat anything other than human flesh.”
“I haven’t eaten anything other than human flesh since I came back to life… .]
《Don’t whine, Yonsuks. Isn’t it a time of war now?”
Pendragon soothed the babbling subordinates, but the long-haired corrupt knight broke into a cold sweat after checking the warehouse.
“That great king, that… I can’t even see food.”
“What?”
“The warehouse is clean and empty. There is not a single speck of dust.”
Silence fell.
Pendragon frowned as if it was absurd.
“What do you mean by that? A facility of this size was used until yesterday… … Is the warehouse empty?”
But it was true.
When Pendragon confirmed it, it was true. All warehouses in the outpost were clean and empty.
《Did he take it out through the teleport gate… … .]
Pendragon clicked his tongue as he kicked the collapsed pile of magic stones.
I was annoyed, but I couldn’t fill the empty warehouse. At that time, the other fallen knights whined.
“maharaja… .”
“I am hungry… I’m going crazy… … .]
《Tsk.》
Pendragon gestured toward the nearby forest.
“Let’s go hunting. There must be animals in the forest over there. Let’s go.”
So, the fallen knights who escaped the outpost entered the forest.
However, after a few hours of hunting, the fallen knights noticed another abnormality.
“Something is strange, my king.”
“… .”
“People, let alone… Not a single animal can be seen.”
Saaaaa – Only
the hot wind blew through the desolate forest.
“It’s a ghost to sing. How can you not see a squirrel in the forest?”
answered the long-haired corrupt knight who followed Pendragon.
“Do you remember when I invaded the Fairy Kingdom in my previous life, Great King? Even back then, the forest was empty because the elves were cheating and all the animals
in the forest ran away.” Are you saying that there are both elves and elementals on the human side of the defense right now?”
Pendragon gnashed his teeth.
“I can’t believe you are using these clear field tactics… ?]
The fallen knights have picked up mushrooms and berries.
Even after one bite, the hunger was not resolved at all.
“maharaja! This means you won’t be hungry!”
“I’m hungry, I’m hungry, I’m hungry… … .”
“Something to eat… Give me something to eat, king… … .]
《Shut up and be patient, idiots.》
When we returned to the base, it was night before we knew it. After setting up camp, Pendragon scolded his men.
“If you go north for three days, isn’t there a line of defense for people? Let’s eat meat to our heart’s content there.”
“Ugh… .”
“I feel like I’m going to die of hunger… .》
The hunger of the Fallen Knights was practically a curse.
For hundreds of years, in the darkness of the Lake Kingdom, they lived affluently by eating the people of the Lake Kingdom, who survived even if they died, so it was a fact that they could not know.
Even a slight empty stomach can make the madness worse.
So that night.
awesome awesome Wooddeuk.
hard. Enemy. Enemy.
《… ?”
Midnight. A strange sound was heard in Pendragon’s ears as he struggled with supply issues. It was the sound of something being eaten.
Let the flagship Pendragon run and see
《These crazy bastards… … .》
Unable to endure hunger, the fallen knights were eating the corpse horses they rode.
The corrupt knights, who were hastily devouring the rotten meat, noticed that the king had come and knelt down in front of him.
《Great King Great King… … .”
“Your stomach won’t be full with this kind of food, majesty… .”
“Something to eat… give me something to eat… … .》
While watching the fallen knights crawling under his feet while holding on to his hungry belly, he suddenly realized that Pendragon too.
hungry.
hungry like crazy
《… Huh.”
Inside the helmet, Pendragon’s mouth smiled wide.
《I really like 13.》
《… ?”
“But my knights. For you guys, I can break that too.”
With eyes glistening with madness, Pendragon turned back.
“Why do you need supplies? I’ve already brought it.”
***
《Don’t do this, my lord.》
The long-haired corrupt knights cornered in the outpost aimed their longswords in front of them, catching their breath.
《You shouldn’t do this to me.》
The remaining 12 corrupt knights aimed their weapons at the long-haired corrupt knight and swallowed their mouths.
“It’s really sad that the number of thirteen of us gives one,”
whispered Pendragon, flicking his greatsword.
“There is nothing we can do to safely advance to the enemy’s wall. Just like in that winter mountain, I have no choice but to eat one person a day.”
“Please, great king… ! How loyal I served you… … .”
“Thank you my friend. Eat well.]
《Don’t do this!》
The rest of the fallen knights howled like beasts and charged. The long-haired corrupt knight screamed as he swung his sword.
《Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
this night, the Fall Knights could have a rich evening.
