Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 103
◈ 103. [Side Story] Recapture Operation (1)
Five days later.
Alchemist Workshop.
Clap.
Grumble.
Cheolkeong.
The prosthetic arm in God Hand's hand worked with a smooth sound..
It felt like a slightly elaborately made gauntlet, but it moved like a real hand thanks to God Hand's metal magician abilities..
We looked at the prosthetic hand in admiration as it made rock-paper-scissors shapes while making noises..
“Oh oh…….”
“amazing.”
“It's totally plausible, right? Looks like a real hand.”
Chak-!
God Hand stopped spinning his hand and smiled vaguely..
“That's good. It is much lighter and easier to use than the prosthetic hand I used before..”
“of course. It is the most expensive magic metal that can be made in this workshop..”
Lily, who made the prosthetic hand with God Hand, shrugged her shoulders..
“It is light but sturdy, and has a quick horsepower response. It will be easier to control with less horsepower and less concentration..”
“Thank you so much, Lily..”
Godhand put the prosthetic hand in his arms with a movement that resembled a real hand, and then took out his wallet..
“The price of the prosthetic hand is…….”
“Put it away. It's the price of my life.”
Lily, who spoke coolly, frowned when Godhand glanced at him..
“So will I get paid for it? I'm so sick of feeling like I already owe something..”
“But, Lily…….”
“Ah, what a but! Let’s grab it and head out quickly! I'm already busy with a lot of things your majesty ordered, and I spent several days making them..”
Lily, who was angry, dragged her wheelchair and went into the workshop..
‘They're playing so cutely…….’
As I was looking at the two and thinking, God Hand approached me with a bitter smile on his face..
When I pulled down my sleeves and put on gloves, my arms looked really fine..
“Your body has recovered, and there will be no problem in your return, Your Majesty..”
“Good.”
Even so, he lost the arm below his elbow. I want to let you rest a little more.
Even if it's a harsh schedule, it can't be helped. You have to move as quickly as possible.
“At the manor house by 9 p.m., summon all the shadow troops. Going out tonight Since it will be a late-night operation, let the unit members sleep in advance during the day..”
“I obey orders.”
Godhand lowered his head, glanced at the alchemist's workshop one more time, and then turned to the temple..
I entered the workshop. I saw Lily dazed in front of the artifact being repaired..
“lily.”
“Ah yes! majesty. What's going on? This artifact, which you ordered to be repaired this time, will be adjusted by tonight.-”
“In this operation, you…….”
“Hehehe?!”
“……I won't take you away, so you can rest assured..”
They freak out at the mere mention of it. Before the last defense battle, you said you would stand on the front line every day, but was it all just a bluff?.
“As long as nothing bad happens in the future, you won't have to go to the front lines. Instead, this guy joined the main party..”
I gestured to Junior standing behind me..
Junior and Lily said hello a few days in advance..
From now on, whenever I hire a new wizard, I plan to have Lily, the senior wizard, say hello first..
“Miss Juju…….”
Lily held Junior's hand tightly and spoke softly..
“If your Majesty overworks you, come and talk to me. I will protest with you. We wizards should work together well. Right?”
“Hehe, I will. Let’s have a good time among ourselves..”
There is a tendency to form a wizard's union. Have fun with yourselves.
“Then come again next time. Good at repairing artifacts.”
“Yes, Your Highness. Just leave it to me. and…….”
After hesitating for a moment, Lily nodded with a determined look on her face..
“Please call the front line whenever you need it. I am prepared.”
“…….”
As I left the workshop, I thought to myself.
‘Be prepared when necessary…….’
3A week later, the clan army invades..
I'd like to leave Lily in charge of managing field artifacts, but when the time comes, I'll have to fight against monsters again..
‘Your retirement is a long way off, Lily..’
Someday, when Lily will only have an office job.
That will be the time when the front here becomes stable. I sincerely hoped that day would come as soon as possible..
“let's go.”
I gestured towards Lucas and Junior who followed me..
“I need to prepare for departure.”
All other party members were also summoned to the mansion..
at las… … It is time to launch an operation to retake the base camp..
***
And when I arrived at the mansion.
“huh?”
An unexpected person was standing at the entrance to the mansion..
I absentmindedly called that person's name..
“Jupiter?”
“…….”
Jupiter was leaning against a pillar at the entrance to the mansion with a pale complexion, wearing an old imperial military coat over the temple's hospital uniform..
“You're not feeling well yet. I need more rest, what are I doing here??”
“majesty.”
Jupiter glanced at Junior standing behind me and lowered his voice to me..
“I heard you're going out today..”
“Yes, but.”
“take me away.”
“what?”
“Aren’t they the ones who made me like this? give me a chance to get revenge.”
Jupiter's hand grasped my collar tightly. Jupiter, who was close to me, whispered.
“Junior is.”
“?”
“My granddaughter... … don't take me.”
Jupiter's voice was a desperate tone I had never heard before..
“We shouldn't let that child go through war..”
I was surprised and looked at Jupiter quietly. Jupiter spat out earnestly..
“Please, your majesty.……!”
Jupiter pleaded..
It was then.
“Even though I can't stand properly, my grandmother.”
Junior approached and gently took Jupiter away from me..
“Are you saying you're going on some dungeon exploration with that body?.”
“junior……!”
Jupiter clung to his granddaughter.
“Please, it's not too late. Let's stop now. huh?”
“What do you mean.”
“Jumping into the mud of this war.”
A bright light shimmered in Jupiter’s single eye..
“I tried so hard to stop you from coming in here. You know that.”
“…….”
Junior let out a small sigh..
“And then my grandmother became so sick. Don't worry too much? 'Cause now I'll take over her grandmother's work.”
“no!”
Jupiter shook his head violently..
“That can't be possible. That can't be happening. I… … Even though I lived such a messy life until today, there is no reason to hold on..”
Junior gently held Jupiter's shoulder..
“grandma. I have already signed a mercenary contract with Your Majesty. Today is the operation day.”
“……!”
“If grandma yells like this here, okay? It's embarrassing for you, and I'm embarrassed too. First of all, let’s go to the temple today and rest and talk later.?”
Jupiter gritted his teeth and turned his head to look at me..
“majesty.”
“hmm?”
“If I'm fine and stronger than my granddaughter. All you have to do is take me to the dungeon.?”
I narrowed my eyes..
“What do you want to say, Jupiter?.”
“Sparring... … request.”
“ok?”
What are you talking about?.
“So, uh… … With Junior? you?”
“That's right.”
Jupiter was asking me to have a match with his granddaughter..
“If I were stronger, there would be no need to take my granddaughter to a dungeon or battlefield. Isn't that right??”
“What… … that is…….”
“Mercenaries are based solely on skill! This is the floor where skill is the only priority..”
Jupiter glared fiercely at his granddaughter..
“If you're weaker than me, there's no need to get a bonus here..”
“…….”
Junior sighed again..
“I have to do this, grandma.?”
“OK. I have to do it. I can't leave like this.”
“It's okay, I'll deal with you..”
Junior smiled narrowly and took out a bear bag..
“It's finally time to show off the skills I learned over my grandmother's shoulder.?”
A cruel smile appeared on Jupiter's lips..
“Don't be picky, granddaughter. Because your talent is exceptional... … Is it comparable to the Jjambap I’ve been eating all my life??”
Rumbling, rumbling…….
Thunder began to be heard in the sky.
“Your Majesty, this way for now.”
Lucas quickly grabbed me and made me step back..
No, wait, you shouldn't stop this rather than avoid it.?
But before anyone could stop him, the confrontation took place in an instant..
“Hmm-!”
A thunderbolt flew from Jupiter's single eye..
At the same time, a thunderbolt erupted from Jupiter's outstretched fingertips, and at the same time,.
“You're so old, my grandmother.”
I heard Junior mumbling..
flashing-!
Following the movement of Junior's carelessly thrown gombangdae, a huge bolt of lightning fell from the sky to the ground..
The thunderbolt that fell from the sky instantly swallowed the thunderbolt from Jupiter's hand, struck the ground, and burned the entire area to pitch black..
Kuwagwanggwang!
“my garden!”
I jumped without realizing it as I saw the stone wall and garden lawn being struck by lightning..
These wizards! Do your homework somewhere else.!
“big… … black!”
Jupiter groaned and sat down. Nosebleeds were dripping from the nose of the old lightning magician..
It's a winner.
“junior…….”
Jupiter muttered in a blood-filled voice while kneeling down..
“With this... … Why not??”
“…….”
“To get revenge on me... … Can't we finish it??”
Junior, who had been silent, answered coldly..
“It can't be done, grandma..”
“…….”
“I'm going back to the temple and resting. I'll be back soon.”
Junior entered the mansion first, flapping the hem of his robe..
Unable to get involved in the argument between grandmother and granddaughter, I could only watch from afar and quickly ran to Jupiter's side..
“Are you okay, Jupiter??”
“majesty.”
Even though Jupiter stumbled, he managed to get back up again..
The old wizard's shoulders were shaking like aspen trees, but he refused my help and stood on his own..
“My granddaughter... … i look forward to.”
“…….”
“Although he is talented, he still has little experience. Please don't ask me to do too much..”
Then he stumbled out of the garden, left the mansion, and started heading towards the city..
“Jupiter…….”
Even though she is not in good health, she goes to such lengths to try to prevent her granddaughter from going on the field..
What happened between the two people?.
I didn't know, and I didn't have time to listen right now. The expedition must proceed as scheduled..
I took a look at Jupiter's back as he walked away and then entered the mansion..
All party members under his command had already been gathered in the mansion's living room..
