I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 752
752. [STAGE 45] Cognitive assumption (3)
All kinds of monsters poured out behind Hecate’s back, baring their teeth and claws and tentacles…
Taaaa!
Just before the attack hit, Hecate’s body was lifted into the air as if someone had snatched it with a hand.
Afterwards, the rest of the Glory Knights and even Junior floated into the air.
While floating in the air, Junior broke into a cold sweat as he looked at the monsters swarming beneath his feet.
“Wow, it was really close…”
Tentacles came flying in succession, but I easily blocked them with magic.
Junior sighed in relief, looked up and waved his hand.
“Nice timing body bag!”
In the air, there was a telekinetic wizard, Bodybag, with a red face and sweating profusely. All the retired soldiers in the barracks were floating around her.
Although the body bag was not as fast as Diarmudin, it was capable of similar flight. So he flew to the rescue team with Junior and was working on lifting retired soldiers into the air while Junior was clearing out the surrounding monsters.
Finally, after capturing Glory Knights and Junior, who were attracting attention.
The body bag whined and began to fly towards the castle wall, carrying dozens of people in the air alone. Junior assisted with the body bag using wind magic.
“….”
He looked at the side face of Junior, who was floating in the air with a blank face and was using wind magic next to him.
Hecate slowly opened her mouth.
“I remembered it.”
“huh? What?”
“It’s something I want to do.”
A faint smile appeared on Hecate’s lips.
“It’s so funny, so absurd, and something I’ve only imagined… something like that.”
***
Same time.
Near the southern wall.
“Wow! “Aaaah!”
“Save people, save people!”
Soldiers and volunteers from the cooking unit continued to scream.
Since soldiers had to eat and drink to fight, the cooking team had to remain within the camp at all times under any circumstances.
Although the kitchen group also received minimal combat training, their combat capabilities were basically low.
To them, fleshy monsters with tentacles and teeth were very fearful and terrible enemies.
“Ugh! Wow!”
Among them, the cafeteria waiter who confessed to Evangeline, a young man who had come in as a volunteer before this battle, was in a panic, shedding tears and snot.
《Ah ah ah ah ah ah!》
Wow! Cheer up!
The tentacles swung by the monster that rushed in overturned all the kitchen utensils.
The waiter screamed and hid under the table. The fallen dishes poured down, making a violent sound.
Someone grabbed the shoulder of the waiter, who was crouching and shaking. When the startled waiter saw the large chef, he was holding a kitchen knife and yelling.
“Hey newbie! Wake! Are you going to die like this?!”
“yes? Yes yes? “Well then?”
“We must fight back! The cooking class is also a soldier! “You also received basic training!”
“B-but how do you deal with such a monster…!”
“Who wants to kill that guy? Instead of crouching still and shaking, grab something solid to block the attack!”
The cook foreman handed over a large pot. The cook foreman nodded to the waiter who hesitantly accepted it.
“Hold on just a little longer! “The rescue team sent by the prince will arrive soon!”
“Would Prince Hua Hua take care of a cooking class like us…?”
“Then of course! Because the prince is that kind of person!”
The cook foreman grinned, pulled out a kitchen knife in his other hand, and lunged at the monsters while yelling loudly.
The sound of dishes breaking, people’s screams, the cries of monsters…
Amidst the noise that filled his ears, the waiter, who was crouching over a pot, suddenly opened his teary eyes.
“Me too…”
He thought of his unrequited love, Evangeline, the heir to the lord who always takes the lead in fighting for the city.
Didn’t you speak to her condescendingly? I want to know what kind of fight you are fighting. So I enlisted.
But what does this little thing mean now?
“me too…! “I will prove my worth to live in this city…!”
The waiter managed to crawl out from under the table and stand upright, yelling.
“Come at me!” “You monster!”
And it was standing right in front of me.
A monster of ugly, flowing flesh. A monster with long tentacles flailing and teeth chattering from various parts of its body… A terrifying-looking monster. Right in front of you.
“ah. ah. ah. ah. Ah.》
“….”
《I’m going to eat it.》
I was so scared that my legs became weak.
The waiter sat down and it was heavenly luck.
Cheok-!
The tentacle aimed at the waiter’s heart narrowly missed the pot and passed by. The impact alone caused the pot to split and the waiter to fall backwards.
Craddangtangtang!
“Wow! “Cluck, cluck, cluck!”
The monster slowly approached the waiter, who was barely able to let out his blocked breath, one step at a time.
The moment the waiter, sensing death, closes his eyes tightly,
he screams! puck! Wow!
An exciting hitting sound echoed inside the kitchen.
“…?”
When the monster’s attack did not attack, the waiter carefully opened his closed eyes, trembling.
Then in front of my eyes….
Pow! Sigh! Paaaat!
I could see the remnants of Evangeline moving like a flash of light.
The girl knight dressed in white armor, with her white muffler swinging behind her, crushed the monsters in one blow with a sword and shield combined into one weapon, and repeated running to the next monster.
In an instant, the monsters that attacked the kitchen were annihilated. Evangeline shouted without breaking a sweat.
“All the monsters have been eliminated! Everyone, quickly evacuate to the wall!”
“Thank you, Miss Evangeline!”
“What. Of course it has to be done. Oh, if anyone gets bitten, please tell us! “I will administer the treatment right away…”
After giving the instructions quickly and concisely and even handing over the extra treatment to the cook foreman.
Evangeline turned to go somewhere else.
And then I made eye contact with the waiter who was still stuck in the corner and couldn’t move.
“…!”
The waiter felt embarrassed for some reason and wanted to hide. The young man lowered his head with a red face.
“I’m sorry for being so rude….”
“What do you have to be sorry for?”
Evangeline came up to the waiter, took his hand and helped him up, smiling.
“We each have different fields, but we are all fighting together on this battlefield.”
“….”
“Do your best for the rest of the battle. then.”
Evangeline stamped her feet lightly and quickly left the cooking class, flying away to rescue the others.
The waiter, who was looking at the back with awe, eventually lowered his gaze and looked at his legs, which were still shaking.
“….”
As the waiter lowered his head, the chef came closer and patted the waiter on the shoulder.
“It’s just as you said, Miss Evangeline. “Now let’s go to a place where we can fight.”
“Yes…”
With a happy, yet ashamed and sad heart.
The waiter gathered his luggage and began to evacuate with unsteady steps along with other kitchen soldiers.
***
Boom! pop! Pubububung…!
Signaling the success of the rescue operation, flares exploded in the sky over the city.
As I was assessing the overall situation, I glanced to the side. Lucas was seen silently checking his equipment.
I asked cautiously.
“Was it really okay if you didn’t go?”
“Isn’t there a role for each person in the right place?”
Lucas drew out [Excalibur] and [Granted Sword] in both hands and took a deep breath.
“It is true that I am worried about my comrades remaining in the barracks, but it is also true that I am needed more in the battle at hand.”
“….”
“Instead, in the barracks, there are not as many people as me… Depending on the situation, Junior, who is much stronger than me in a one-to-many situation, came to the rescue. “It will be okay.”
I originally planned to dispatch close combat heroes, including Lucas, to the barracks.
However, because the barracks were too far from the castle walls, it was not possible to send just one or two vanguard heroes, including Lucas. Moreover, in order to safely escort the non-combatants there, it was necessary to dispatch at least two parties.
At this time, it was Junior who came forward to save the barracks.
‘Please leave it to me. We will definitely rescue the retired soldiers in the barracks.’
Since Junior was so well-trained in mountain warfare, he decided to entrust him with rescuing the barracks.
Of course, not alone, but a telekinetic magician who excels in utility and shines in many situations other than combat – with a body bag attached. A duo of wizards.
‘Junior has the firepower, so if I assist, the two of us can do it. Please send.’
I decided to trust the two veteran wizards who volunteered.
The barracks rescue team that left like that fired a signal of success a little while ago. I squeezed my heart out. thank god.
In addition, non-combatants such as the cook group priest alchemist were evacuated one after another.
And the elite heroes who were not part of the rescue team and remained next to me looked down at the center of the city with stern faces.
Gooooooo…!
The carcass of a huge reindeer monster that spewed out monsters in all directions, as if spitting out all the monsters it had consumed.
In the middle of this gigantic piece of meat, with cloudy steam still rising… a devil monster with its horns raised was standing staggering around with bleary eyes.
《Ahhhh….》
Cromwell.
He was the leader of an enemy monster army that finally revealed his true face after peeling off his layers of skin.
‘We have to take him down now before he does something weird again.’
I took a breath and exchanged glances with the heroes around me.
Although we must avoid close combat as much as possible, we must not miss the opportunity now.
While the dispatched rescue team rescues non-combatants and individually destroys the zombie remnants on the four walls of the castle.
Their main base with the remaining personnel. It can be said to be a nucleus… It strikes Cromwell’s main body.
“It’s over in one fell swoop.”
I shouted as I pointed forward at the flagpole.
“let’s go!”
“yes-!”
The elite heroes, all wearing thick armor, led by Lucas, smoothly climbed down the castle wall and began running towards Cromwell.
At the same time, I turned to the side.
“Lily, activate all prepared artifacts!”
“yes!”
After receiving my order, Lily sent hand signals to those around her.
Then, the wizards and alchemists on the walls of the Crossroads main castle where the artifact was installed began to move busily.
The Black Dragon Wall [Night Bringer], which surrounds the outside of the main castle, is a structure that can be modified on site, so there is a problem that when a new wall is installed, water-based equipment to be used on it also needs to be installed again.
In this battle, the Black Dragon Wall was completed only before the Battle of Suseong. The cannons and ballistae were able to be installed immediately as trained.
Artifacts require magical engineering processes, such as connecting magical power paths. I just installed it on the crossroads main castle wall and used only the ones that were square.
But now the enemy is inside the crossroads.
All artifacts installed on the walls of the main castle can be used by simply changing the direction. Even the squares come out intact.
‘But we can’t devastate the inside of the city.’
Of course, we must be prepared to devastate it if the situation arises, but we must still cause as little damage as possible.
Among the artifacts, we decided to select and use those that cause less damage to the city while effectively eliminating enemies.
Geeeeee!
Slam! Slam!
All kinds of artifacts are loaded and aimed at the enemies at the same time.
“Please… let’s make it big this time… Please pay a high price…”
With Lily muttering a prayer, the alchemists carefully took out and installed an artifact in the form of a large metal plate.
An SSR grade artifact that sends opponents stamped inside a metal plate to the edge of the southern field.
It was [Again from the beginning!]
