I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 746
746. [STAGE 45] Curse of Dawn (3)
For a while, the battle went well like this.
After passing the three ‘party halls’, there is a crossfire zone, followed by ballistas, archers, and a very rough new castle wall.
The zombie monsters that ran first held on, but after passing this long defense line, they eventually collapsed and died.
The beginning of the battle went well like this, but…
“…!”
There is no way the monsters will just tolerate it quietly.
Ugh….
Aaaaaaa!
A thump accompanied by a scream that seemed to be scraping from the bottom of the zombie monsters’ souls
…! thud…! thud…!
Huge zombie monsters poured forward.
Other zombie monsters were also larger than humans, but this monster was especially tall and burly.
I gritted my teeth as I looked at them.
“Fire Giant…!”
It is one of the most powerful legions among the giants, with strength similar to that of the frost giants… It is a typical ‘stamping down with specs’ type of monster.
And it is these spec-type monsters that fully benefit from zombification. Since they have no special abilities or special abilities and only fight using their physical abilities, they have nothing to lose by becoming a zombie and only gain more.
‘Besides, these bastards….’
Like the ‘Fire Giants’, they are immune to explosions and flames!
pop! Bubble bubbling!
Amidst the flames of exploding mines and pouring shells, the flame giant remained unharmed.
Those who came forward took the barrage of shells with ease. In no time, the entire zombie monster army that followed them came closer to the Crossroads.
The crossfire zone has been breached.
Unrest spread among the soldiers. But this is a plan that was planned in advance!
“Then, let’s move on to the next phase!”
I raised my hand in the air and made a fist.
Then
giiiiing-!
A roar rose from the direction of the Crossroads.
La Mancha.
And Mikhail and the griffons guarding him!
“good-!”
Awesome!
The World Defense Front’s air force quickly closed the distance and flew over the heads of the monsters.
I shouted, stretching out my hand.
“Pour it out!”
Then, as if he heard me, La Mancha’s lower hatch opened at exactly the right moment…
Shoot!
They literally ‘poured out’ the cure.
Should I say that it is similar to spraying pesticides from airplanes on large-scale farms on Earth?
The cure rained down on the heads of the zombie monsters. The zombie monsters twisted their bodies in pain.
In preparation for the possibility that they might develop resistance to the treatment, we gradually reduced the degree of dilution and increased the concentration of the treatment.
Now that it is time for a decisive battle, the undiluted treatment solution will be released without hesitation!
Grrrr….
Aaaaaaa…!
A huge number of zombies who were showered with the treatment solution were forcibly ‘cured’, the parasites were released, and the zombie state was lifted.
I clenched my fists as I saw this sight.
This was the tactic we came up with.
Deploy as many layers of defense as possible, melt them with regular firepower, and drop the cure on the elite monsters that pass through these defense lines in large numbers!
And the elite monsters treated in this way are released from the zombie state and it takes a while for them to return to corpses again…
Wow!
Kyaaaaaaa-!
It becomes a wall for monsters.
Monsters that had not previously been hostile to each other as hosts of the same zombified parasite began to rush to attack the monsters that had been released from their zombification state.
The flame giants who had been walking firmly in front were attacked, and even as they fell to their deaths after losing their zombified state, the giants swung their fists backwards and turned the other zombies into a mess.
The monsters quickly caused chaos and created a bottleneck. I nodded with satisfaction.
This defense game ‘Destruction Game’ is so difficult that even if just two monster armies appear, the game will be over.
However, in this stage, dozens of monster legions appeared at the same time, even though they had become zombies.
If this continues, it will not be established as a ‘stage’. That would be something that neither the devil nor the observer would tolerate.
So, there is a ‘gimmick’ to clear it… and the route I chose was this cure.
And so far it’s working very well.
Not only do they neutralize the zombies by forcibly canceling their zombie status, but they also fight each other to reduce their numbers.
With this, we can get through it safely…!
“Treatment delivery completed. “We will return after a temporary retreat,”
La Mancha’s pilot communicated, and the aircraft’s massive body circled in the air and returned to the crossroads. He sprayed all the medicine he was carrying at once.
Now we will return to the hangar, refill the cure, re-enter the battlefield to drop it again… and repeat this process. We will pour out all the treatments that have been ignorantly stockpiled without sparing any effort.
In this way, another new area was created on the battlefield. It was divided into four major areas.
A three-layered party hall with installed traps.
A crossfire zone formed by Crossroads artillerymen.
A wall where de-zombified monsters and zombies fight each other.
A sniping zone for ballistas and archers.
Although most of the mines and traps in the party hall seemed to have been exhausted, the six walls of the new monsters’ self-supporting walls became a good new line of defense.
The corpses of the monsters they had fought and killed among themselves were piled up, literally forming a six-wall wall. The monsters constantly created bottlenecks and slowed down the pace.
Our ballista and archers melted the enemies trapped on this path, and the airship La Mancha, newly filled with the cure, flew over their heads and dropped the cure.
We looked at the battle situation, which was starting to go well again, but everyone remained alert.
This is probably because everyone now knows that the ‘real’ thing hasn’t started yet.
And…
boom!
The ‘real’ has appeared.
thud! thud! thud! Kuung-!
A giant bigger than the flame giants that had preceded him so far stepped forward.
While the bodies of the flame giants were burning red, this giant’s body was already charred.
Above my head was a halo made of flames…
I gritted my teeth as I realized the other person’s identity.
“Fire Giant King…!”
Yes.
This zombie monster army came out at once after most of the monster army gathered in Area 10 were turned into zombies.
Of course, the corps commanders of each corps have also been turned into zombies and are marching together…!
The Flame Giant King opened his mouth wide and spewed out a huge flame instead of making a sound. And then he began to run forward, spouting black smoke out of the corner of his mouth.
thud! thud! thud! thud!
It is as powerful as a steam locomotive spouting smoke.
Going to school-!
The Flame Giant King, who rushed in at once, approached his legions of zombie-free flame giants and stretched out a huge fist wrapped in flames… Pow
!
He blew away the upper bodies of those who were once his subordinates.
The six walls immediately collapsed in front of the powerfully swinging arms of the Flame Giant King. The monsters that had been zombified could not hold out for long and were wiped out.
Whoosh….
The Flame Giant King spit out flames from the corner of his mouth and turned his burning eyes to look this way. The flames in both eyes are stained green, as if to indicate that they are in a zombified state.
And
boom!
He began to walk in this direction with great strides.
“Shoot, shoot!”
“Stop his approach!”
The flagship ballista unit and archers all focused their attacks on the Flame Giant King.
Patter patter…!
however.
The Flame Giant King silently faced the barrage of arrows like rain and advanced forward. Because its body is so large, it walks forward as if it doesn’t care even though the bullet is hitting its target.
A body of ridiculously transcendent hardness.
The archers, realizing that regular sniping would not work, put down their bows with pale complexions.
This is the corps commander.
This is the majesty of a boss-level entity.
Besides…
this kid wasn’t the end.
thud…! thud…! thud…!
Huge zombie monsters appeared one after another from behind the Flame Giant King, shaking the earth.
After confirming the appearance of the named monsters, observers from all directions gave out reports like screams.
“Notice! Corps commander-level entities appear one after another!”
“It’s not just the ‘Fire Giant King’! ‘Cerberus’ and ‘Olthros’ of the Helldog Legion appear!”
“Confirmation of the tentacle snail corps leader’s individual name ‘vortex’!”
“At the head of the ‘Wingless Cicada Monarch’ group…!”
“Then ‘Deca’, ‘Bridegroom Predator’, ‘Thousand Legs’… they keep appearing!”
The last ones, in turn, are the monster commanders of the Rhino Mantis Centipede Army.
At the front line of defense, after being thinned out by burning, exploding, and dying, the general zombie monsters finally came out and took the lead in the ranks.
‘This is so All-Star.’
I clicked my tongue as I looked at his gorgeous face.
Who would think this is the final stage?
thud! thud! thud! thud! thud!
A procession of corps commander-level entities entering the party hall, crossfire, and everything else.
Even though they have become zombies, they all have stage boss-level specifications. It is difficult to inflict significant damage with general artillery fire or ballista. Moreover, the numbers are usually not that large.
Even if you catch as few as 10, maybe more….
Giiiiiiing!
La Mancha flew in again and poured the cure on their heads.
Even though the undiluted treatment solution was poured on him, the zombie status did not go away and he continued to move forward unharmed, perhaps due to some sort of compensation from the corps commander or because the parasites in his head had become boss-level parasites.
The soldiers all paled in front of the suddenly narrowing distance between them and the monsters.
“Just follow the plan!”
I encouraged such soldiers.
“Leave the commander-level zombie alone! “Concentrate on weeding out the rest!”
“Yes yep…!”
“Shoot, shoot! “Spread the fire net!”
As soon as my order was given, the soldiers skillfully adjusted their aim little by little, deliberately avoiding the corps commander-level monsters, and began to focus their artillery fire.
Isn’t one of the advantages of artillery bombardment called splash damage? Attacks the impact point over a wide area.
The remaining zombies, who had been hiding behind the strong corps commander, burst out one after another. Regular zombie monsters began to thin out again.
The problem is the huge number of corps commanders coming in.
To pour out this number of corps commander-level entities at once could be called merciless or lack of sense of balance.
“It’s unreasonable and shitty, but what can I do…”
I grinned and looked to the side.
“Life is always like this. Isn’t that right, Damien?”
“That’s right, prince.”
Damian, smiling brightly, sat down in the gunner’s seat of the modified ballista assigned to him.
“And isn’t life about overcoming those difficulties?”
Well said my sniper!
Slam! Slam! Slam!
As Damian prepared to fire the ballista, the waiting priests and alchemists loaded ‘special bullets’ into the modified ballista.
The special bullet is… It is an arrow with a large warhead attached, filled with an unidentified liquid.
‘At first, the diluted solution of the treatment was sprayed, and then the original solution of the treatment was administered.’
So what’s coming out now?
“It’s a special treatment concentrate, you monsters!”
It is a top-of-the-line, specially concentrated treatment bullet, one of which there are only a few on this front, made through the hard work of our temple priests, alchemists, spiritists, and even King Poseidon!
“Treat them with care, Damien!”
“yes!”
Damian carefully adjusted the angle of the modified ballista.
And he infused his magic into the bullets. Because I know Damian’s skills, I was able to find out what kind of tricks he used on the bullets.
Outside the bullet is the [Magic Bullet of Destruction].
Inside the bullet is [Healing Magic Bullet].
Two magic bullets were packed into one bullet at the same time.
[Magic Bullet of Destruction] will increase the penetration power of bullets, and [Magic Bullet of Healing] will increase the effectiveness of the treatment.
Damian then flashed his big brown eyes and put his hand on the trigger.
“I’m sniping you!”
Damian’s finger pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Tung-!
With a short, thick echoing sound, the modified ballista fired a special bullet…
Sigh!
The bullet flew straight towards the top of the Flame Giant King’s head.
The Flame Giant King tried to block the special bullet by swinging his huge hand, but
《…?!》
This means that this person has [Clairsight].
The special bullet, which strangely swirled and bent its trajectory, narrowly slipped through the Giant King’s fingers and –
poop…!
The flame pierced the Giant King’s eyes and lodged inside his head.
