I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 57

◈ 057. [Side Story] Don’t protect the world (3)

In a tutorial stage that can’t be cleared by default, kill the black spider queen and get a magic core.

Originally, it was after the middle of the second year to deal with the black spider army.

I guessed that the equipment made with this magic core would also surpass the current level of equipment.

‘I guessed, but… … This.’

I gripped the black horse gun in my hand and swallowed dry saliva.

Black Spider Queen An SSR grade horse gun Black Queen made from magic cores.

‘This is a balance breaker.’

So much so that I felt like an idiot for saving this mana core, a ridiculous piece of equipment popped out.

I’m still not sure what the hidden options are. The rest of the options are sufficient. no it overflows

‘At least for the first year, I can carry it by the collar with this one.’

Kangdam alone is a super bamboo spear.

For the next year or so, if you hit the weak points of not only elite monsters, but also boss-level monsters, you’ll be able to sort this out in one shot.

Besides, the user of this gun is Damian. A cheat character with [Clairsight].

It means that this overwhelming damage can be put in the right place.

‘Yo yo beggars footswaddle game! I guess you’re finally going to put me at ease?’

The corners of his mouth twitched. It’s only natural that I got an item that was so awesome that I couldn’t hold back my laughter.

When I was satisfied, the Blacksmith Guild Leader and the Alchemist Guild Leader also smiled broadly.

“I’m really glad that Your Highness seems to like it!”

“I felt like I was possessed by something throughout the making. We are just happy to be able to create something like this.”

“They both did well. Everyone in the studio also had a hard time.”

I looked around and congratulated everyone in the workshop.

“My bonus duduk will give it to you. Please take good care of the next one.”

“Yep, Your Highness!”

“Is it possible!”

I made Lucas hold the horse guns and Lucas and I went out to attack. Behind us, the two union heads bowed their waists.

“Is this horse gun really that great, my lord?”

I smiled at Lucas who was curious.

“It will change the landscape of war.”

“Is that enough… ?”

Lucas looked down at the horse gun in his hand.

“I’m so glad it was completed before the stage started.”

I looked at the remaining time.

[STAGE 3]

– Until the start: 20 hours and 30 minutes

There is still plenty of time before the start of the next stage.

You can deliver the horse gun to Damian and even train him to get used to it.

‘I’m sorry for swearing at Ader.’

I cursed at the director for not adjusting the difficulty of the trash game.

Conversely, swearing is enough for me to eat. I never thought the game would end so suddenly.

Joyful and happy, they rode the wagon and returned to the mansion.

Today was the day before the defense battle, so I had summoned the party members to the mansion in advance. everyone will be waiting for me

“Lord.”

As the carriage approached the mansion, Lucas from the driver’s seat called me.

“huh? what’s the matter?”

“It would be nice to see it for yourself.”

I stuck my head out the carriage window. Then

The entrance to the stone wall road leading to the manor house.

A little girl was standing there.

“… .”

She was a girl with bright green eyes and platinum blonde hair that gleamed brightly even under the late afternoon sunlight.

With a large bag on his back, he was ready to go on a long journey.

Evangeline Cross was waiting for us.

rattle!

I got off the carriage and approached Evangeline.

“Evangeline.”

“… .”

Evangeline looked up at me blankly with her characteristic pointed eyes and then sighed.

“Today, the assistant to Yeongju brought me this.”

Evangeline took out a bundle of magically treated papers from her bosom.

gold coin certificate

Because I can’t carry all the heavy gold.

Under the guarantee of the Continental Merchants Union and the Wizard Alliance Ivory Tower, it is a magical document proving that you actually have this much gold coins and where the real ones are.

Put simply, a check.

The certificate itself is fairly reputable across the continent, as usually few people have a mountain of gold coins sufficient to write a certificate.

It was a long talk, but anyway, when I roughly sorted out the assets of the Cross family, a considerable amount came out.

As long as the amount of that certificate is enough, Evangeline will be able to make a living wherever she goes.

“I am really grateful that everything was done in less than a week… .”

Evangeline growled, showing her prominent fangs.

“Immediately after receiving this, the aide told me.”

“What?”

“’The lord said that if you received this money, you should leave the city as soon as possible, since you have nothing to do in this city anymore~’ … Called.”

Evangeline, who even copied Ader’s tone, crossed her arms dissatisfied.

“And, saying it was the lord’s order, pack all my belongings and kick me out of the mansion. I was dumbfounded so I waited here to ask the senior directly. Did you really make this?”

I nodded.

“okay.”

“Aren’t you trying to expel me too quickly? I haven’t even said goodbye yet.”

“If we want to break up, we have to break up quickly. What are you going to do?”

I deliberately let out a stern voice.

“The next defense starts tomorrow. This will be a battlefield. Do you want to get caught up in this mud and roll with me?”

“still… .”

“Stop talking and leave immediately. You have nothing to do with this city anymore.”

He gave up his title and cleared all his property.

Evangeline, who was hesitant about what kind of lingering feelings she had left, cautiously opened her mouth.

“Still, I will help you with the next defense. Because you also helped me… … .”

“no!”

I flatly refused.

“If you are going to leave anyway, leave clean. Don’t get mud all over your body.”

“but!”

“I can protect this city without lending a hand to a child like you.”

At my words, Evangeline was furious.

“You saw me fighting! Enough for one person! no more… … .”

“Evangeline!”

When I screamed, Evangeline, startled, hiccupped and stepped back.

I pushed my index finger at Evangeline and pushed her.

“Haven’t you decided to leave your hometown and live a completely new life? So you gave up your title and disposed of your family property. You’ve disposed of the home you want to return to and all your lingering attachments!”

“that… but.”

“If you’ve made up your mind to do so, make sure. I mean leave without looking back!”

I continued to shoot fiercely.

“It is as you said. Here on the monster front there is nothing but death and dust. And that death and dust will never let you go once you step in!”

“… .”

“From now on, don’t dip your toes into a war against monsters. You’re leaving forever and finding something else you really want to do.”

I breathed in for a moment, then exhaled slowly.

“Be free to do what you want to do. That was your father’s will.”

“… !”

“You said you wanted to be an unfilial daughter, Evangeline. I want to live like a tree frog. But listen carefully to your father’s last wish.”

I passed Evangeline, who was stiff, and entered the entrance of the mansion.

“You are now an outsider. This mansion no longer belongs to your family.”

“Sir, wait a minute… !”

“We have to have a meeting to prepare for the defensive battle tomorrow. I want you to leave as soon as possible.”

“… .”

I moved my steps and headed inside the mansion.

I don’t know what kind of expression Evangeline was looking at my back.

“Thank you for the past few days, senior. No, Prince.”

A greeting came in a dignified voice.

“Last time I went to my parents’ grave… I will leave Crossroads.”

“… .”

“I hope the future prince will be with you on the path of prosperity.”

I didn’t answer until the end and entered the front door of the mansion.

As I entered the front door, I glanced around and saw Evangeline standing still with her back bent at 90 degrees. I murmured softly.

“… I wish you luck in your life as well.”

thud!

Closing the front door, I sighed. Ugh.

Lucas, who was standing next to me, smiled bitterly.

“You didn’t have to be so strict, did you?”

“If I say it halfway, that guy won’t have any regrets either. did you hear me say what? help with defense? Do you do one person’s share? Hi-go!”

I waved my hands.

“Like that, just one more day and one more time, and then you’ll end up sitting there forever. Then you can’t. You have to kick it out.”

“Still, I could have tied it well… .”

“Aren’t tears necessary for parting? A bunch of gold certificates is enough.”

I peeked out through the window in the hallway of the mansion.

Evangeline straightened her rucksack, strapped her spear and shield to her waist, and began walking slowly south.

Lastly, did you say you would visit your parents’ graves?

“… .”

Looking at the small back of the girl walking away, I let out a small sigh of regret. Bye bye my expensive SSR… … .

“The guy who went to sleep is the guy who went!”

I hit the back of my other SSR rank knight next to me. Lucas smiled awkwardly.

“Let’s do our best, Lucas!”

“I’m just following the words of my lord.”

Me and Lucas entered the drawing room of the mansion.

In the drawing room, the members of the main party had been summoned in advance and were waiting. Jupiter Damian and… … .

“Why me again!”

Our Flame Archmage, Lily.

I smiled wickedly and sat down in front of Lily.

“Was the brief freedom sweet, Lily? Then it’s time to pamper them again.”

“Aaaaaaa! majesty! Please send it back to the studio! I will work until my bones are ground, so please go to an office job!”

Lily’s whole body is tightly tied with a rope, and Lily’s tears are gushing out.

Don’t act weak, Lily. You are the person who does it when you do it. The prince knows all about your abilities.

“Now, the defense battle is less than a day away. Finally, let’s check our party’s strategy.”

The strategy meeting began with Lily calming down.

A defense strategy against the golem had already been established. Today was a detailed check, familiarization, and final inspection.

With the map of the city wall open, the meeting continued for about an hour.

After explaining everyone’s roles once again, Lily was given an appropriate rear support mission.

“And Damian. I brought you another present.”

I smiled and held out two wrapped horse guns to Damian.

Damian’s eyes widened and he accepted the magic guns I handed him.

“Can I open the package?”

“of course! Hurry up and open it.”

It was the moment when Damian carefully unpacked the horse gun and I was about to explain how great the horse gun was.

bang!

The parlor door was thrown open.

Surprised, everyone looked towards the door. There stood a soldier gasping for breath urgently.

“Heh heh heh heh! Oh, Your Highness! This is an emergency!”

“what. What is it?”

“This is a report from the reconnaissance unit! monster monsters… … !”

At the words that followed, I opened my eyes.

“Monsters have appeared! The type is a golem legion giant monster! The number is over 200! They are now advancing on the city at a terrifying rate!”

“… what?”

Embarrassed, I hurriedly opened the system window.

“What nonsense is there still time before the start of the stage?”

[STAGE 3]

– Until start: 18 hours 55 minutes

“Look at this! It’s still nineteen hours… … .”

right at that moment.

[???’s ?? intervenes in the game!]

I felt the necklace around my neck getting hot, and then

I shuddered!

[STAGE 3]

– Until start: ■■hours ■■minutes

Out of nowhere, the numbers on the system window began to rotate violently.

“There is… .”

I trembled at the end of my words.

uh?

what else is this

what… What’s happening?

Clearly, the remaining time falls down with a gurgling sound.

Falling and falling again –

Clap!

[STAGE 3]

– Until start: 00 hours 30 minutes

disappeared.

A grace period of 19 hours remained. It all evaporated with only 30 minutes left.

“… crazy.”

I was dumbfounded, so I froze.

no don’t cheat At least the system window shouldn’t cheat.

what the hell is this… … ?

“Not only that, Your Highness!”

The soldier shouted in succession. I suddenly came to my senses and looked at it.

“According to reports, monsters are exhibiting strange behavior!”

“Abnormal behavior? what?”

“They say they split into two groups!”

The monster army? Divided into two groups?

why?

“About 200 main units, about 80% of the total, are coming straight to the city, but about 50 units that have split from the remaining 20% main unit… .”

The next words made my mind go crazy.

“The Marquis is said to be heading towards the orchard where he used to live!”

“… what?”

I slowly looked around.

Lucas, who met my eyes, also had a pale face.

Now in that orchard… … .

– Finally, I stopped by my parents’ grave… … I’ll leave the crossroads.

… Evangeline must be there.
