I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 564

◈ 564. [Side Story] Before the storm (2)

Currently, the influence of heterogeneous tribes has grown considerably in the world defense front.

They are participating in the war on the premise that the entire race will be released as free people. Naturally, I risked my life and death in this war.

The human countries also supported a considerable amount of troops and supplies, but the heterogeneous tribes were in the process of supporting the war by scraping up the roots.

Elves and dwarves are still gathering troops from all over the continent, and

although the main body of the mermaids joined the latest among the 4 different races, they brought a mermaid-only airship instead.

‘I don’t know if I can call it emptiness… … .’

A huge flying clam… … ? Same thing.

Originally, it is an object close to a submarine that swims in the sea, but it is said that it is possible to fly. Well then, it must be empty… … ?

In any case, the four major heterogeneous races currently occupy a significant proportion within the front line, and represent even other small heterogeneous races.

Since we met, I thought to warn you honestly about this defensive battle in advance. Let the other kings know by tomorrow… … .

“This defense. It won’t be easy.”

I looked around at the four kings and said.

“We have dispatched messengers to the ecliptic as well. The opponent in this battle is a flying monster, so I requested that the airship power be sent this way as much as possible.”

The four kings hardened their faces when they said that they had even requested the power of the Everblack Empire’s airships.

“You mean something worse than the monsters you’ve been dealing with?”

Dwarf King Kellison spoke first.

“Isn’t the power here already very strong? The last defensive battles are also being blocked with minimal damage.”

“… .”

“Why do you expect the next defensive fight to be more difficult?”

Everyone noticed me.

Taking a deep breath, I slowly began to explain.

“… It may sound strange when I say it like this.”

I looked around the kings.

“The monsters are too docile.”

“Quiet? Is that a big deal?”

“… Did you hear that the next monster to be defended is the Paris Legion?”

Fairy Queen Skuld, who had been listening quietly, answered.

“Yes, I heard. You mean that nasty bug is our enemy this time?”

“That’s right.”

“But Prince Ash, the Paris monster, is a monster that remains even in modern times. It is still breeding in dirty places around the world.”

Like Greenskin. Giant flies are a nuisance to modern humans… … It was a familiar monster in a good or bad way.

“It is certainly a loathsome foe, but we all know how to deal with it. I don’t know why you are so wary.”

I put on the pod slowly with both hands.

“According to the reports of those who have been exploring the current dungeon, all the Paris monsters ran away as soon as they encountered us.”

“What is so strange about that?”

“It is strange.”

I shook my head.

“A monster doesn’t run away when it sees a human. I’m going to kill you according to my instincts.”

“… !”

“A monster with intelligence will do things like run away on purpose to trap humans. But the fly monster is not very intelligent.”

A cold strain appeared on the faces of the four kings. I spoke.

“During this free exploration period, our side continues to occupy the inside of the dungeon without suffering any damage.”

In the depths, the Black Dragon Corps and the Demon Guard Corps are colliding with each other.

So, it is not easy to enter beyond the 8th district, but I succeeded in cleaning up to the 7th district.

The complete occupation of Area 7 is not far off.

… This is the problem.

The monster does not resist.

The flies are busy running away whenever they run into us, and we are occupying the empty dungeon.

“It’s strange. too… Calm.”

Like the calm before the storm.

An eerie calm descends on the Lake Kingdom. And it’s leaking out of that lake.

“And above all. My gut is telling me.”

I have fought more monsters than anyone else in this world, and I am the only person who knows about them better.

My intuition is something I can’t speak for myself, but… … Sometimes it can be sharper than any prediction.

“This battle will be painful and difficult.”

“… .”

“… .”

Silence fell.

Skuld, who had been silent and deep in thought, slowly opened his mouth.

“How much do you expect, Prince Ash?”

“… .”

“How strong the enemy is and how much damage we will suffer. What are your expectations?”

Hesitating, fumbling around, he said,

“Everyone.”

I finally spit it out.

“Did you write a will?”

The blood drained from the faces of the kings.

I breathed in and faced them face to face.

“I hope all my worries are for nothing. however. In the battle ahead… … It wouldn’t be strange if we all died anytime.”

Difficulty increases exponentially.

Up until now, I had endured by reducing damage as much as possible with a large-scale expansion of troops and buffs in supplies.

It will be different in the future.

“I’m going to tell the other kings tomorrow, but… This battle is particularly foreboding.”

“… .”

“I will tell you in advance. In this battle… … no in the future. Kings, do not fight on the front lines.”

This is why I brought this up to them.

This damn fantasy world.

A world where the anachronistic romance still exists where crowned men honor to fight on the front lines.

Well, it’s true that in this world where miracles such as magic exist, the kings who wield that power are powerful warriors… … .

Still, these are the chiefs of each faction.

There is no gravity in life, but there is gravity in position. Their deaths are more lethal to their forces.

“Please step back from the front lines and gather at the command post. Please help command the faction to which you belong.”

Immediately after, I laughed.

“… But you won’t.”

These stubborn kings. Ever since I said not to go to the front, I was preparing to refute something.

And to be honest.

Fighting with these kings, the strongest warriors of each faction, on the front line… … Enemies are not formidable enough to afford such a margin.

“So I am telling you. Please write a will and designate a successor in case of an emergency.”

Still, I should give you a warning.

seriously in the future.

The fact that we all have to fight face to face with death. to be clearly perceptible.

“The briefing on the Paris Legion will be held tomorrow at the gathering of all the other kings.”

I stood up and scratched the back of my head shyly.

“… I’m sorry I brought up a heavy story at dinner time and left.”

“You have nothing to be sorry for, Prince Ash.”

The mermaid King Poseidon, who had been listening silently, nodded.

“The more you delay a story like this, the more painful it is.”

Now, the sign language concept is a mermaid king who speaks comfortably.

After bowing to the three kings and making eye contact with Quylan for the last time, I greeted them. went out there

“… .”

In the room I last looked around, the four kings were deep in thought with their troubled faces.

***

I am the main purpose of coming here to the heterogeneous barracks. Called Body Bag and Burnout.

“Body bag burnout. It’s been a while since we’ve talked to each other.”

The two elves who hadn’t seen each other in a while smiled at me. I also smiled at you.

“Only for this defensive battle, the two of you will operate as independent parties.”

I was reluctant and started talking about business.

Both Body Bag and Burnout have achieved awakening and are in a state of blooming their respective ultimates.

I was thinking of making new equipment for these two with the spoils from the last defense battle.

Armor obtained from ironclad lions for defensive equipment.

Bombing equipment with cores from dandelion monsters.

Each of them plans to entrust the operation to Body Bag and Burnout.

“Both equipments are going to be made with large-scale water-based equipment and firearms, not general personal equipment or firearms. The two of you should head to the smithy immediately starting tomorrow and coordinate equipment production together.”

“yes!”

Bodybag answered loudly on behalf of Burnout, who was gagged and unable to speak. I nodded.

“The monster we have to deal with in this defense is the fly. Various magic attributes are effective, but to wipe out the hordes of them… … Nothing like an explosion.”

Burnout raised the corner of his gagged mouth. I followed the body bag.

“Burnout wipes it all out with an attack and a body bag. You can block all of their attacks with your awakened abilities.”

I shook my clenched fist.

“Let’s show the monsters what they saw.”

“Just trust us, Your Highness the Prince.”

He put his hand in front of his chest and Buddy Bag smiled.

“I will not disappoint you in the name of the Shadow Unit.”

“… .”

Looking at the faces of these two elves, who still had a hint of youth, I was speechless for a moment.

God Hand. old girl. Skull. and body bag. Burnout.

My first sub-party, which once consisted of 5 people, now has 3 dead and only 2 left. Nevertheless, he was still fighting alongside me.

“Thank you guys.”

I gently squeezed the shoulders of the two elves.

“Thank you really… .”

***

the next day.

He summoned the heads of each country and organization belonging to the World Defense Front and explained the general information and strategy of the Paris Legion.

Although similar in appearance to Earth flies, these monsters of various sizes differ in many ways from Earth flies.

Although earth flies help pollinate plants and maggots are used for treatment, they serve as beneficial insects to some extent. The Paris monsters we will face this time are not like that at all.

These omnivorous bugs basically nest in filth, so they are naturally dirty and polluted.

It attacks this side with its sharp mouth and limbs infested with various debuffs.

I can block mental abnormalities and debuffs, but their tainted attacks are physical debuffs.

If infected, it must be treated with priests’ cleanse magic or holy water with a purifying effect.

and… reproduce rapidly

To be precise, these guys don’t even reproduce, and the legion itself has resources such as ‘eggs’ and ‘maggots’.

If there is not enough ‘food’, it is in a hibernation state, but when ‘food’ is given, it hatches, metamorphoses, and evolves into an adult in an instant.

Basically, it’s like this… … And last feature.

stupid.

It has almost no intelligence, so it can be easily defeated with various traps. Various insect traps are being prepared by the Alchemist’s Guild.

‘If it’s just this, it won’t be difficult.’

But my intuition as a player is calling out.

Something more than this will come out… … .

“This defense will not be easy.”

Just like what he said to the kings of the four different tribes yesterday, he also ordered the kings gathered this time to withdraw from the front line.

And even the words to write a will.

It was the first time I had given such a warning, so it was obvious that everyone was confused, but now the other kings gathered here were also accustomed to fighting the monster.

“Do you think you’ll be scared to say something like that, Prince Ash?!”

“If you run away from here, you will be teased by other kings later… !”

“Thank you for your concern, but now we’re used to fighting against monsters in our own way! We’ll fight if we think it’s worth fighting!”

The kings clamored and shouted.

Even those who tried to run away at the time of the Battle of the Emperor rolled up their arms and said that.

Is it because they are literally struggling to die together?

There are still conflicts and struggles, but it seems that a little brotherhood is building up in everyone’s hearts.

… I hope so.

I laughed bitterly.

“I will do my best to prevent such an unfortunate incident.”

As he spoke, he unconsciously put his hand into his pocket, making a creaking sound from the folded paper.

it was my will

I also wrote it in advance in case of an emergency.

“… .”

He clenched the will tightly and begged.

May all this be my fuss.

After the battle is over, I hope the other kings will slap me on why I overplayed it so much.

I sincerely hoped.
