Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 128
◈ 128. [Side Story] Operation instructions (2)
The afternoon before evening. mansion entrance.
The first party to come to the mansion was, unexpectedly, not the party I had called..
“Jupiter?”
I was embarrassed and muttered shakily..
“What's going on here?.”
“…….”
Jupiter, neatly dressed in imperial uniform, smiled brightly..
His face was emaciated with telltale signs of illness, but his only eye was as bright as usual..
“majesty. Do you remember what I said before? They said they were spreading rumors all over the continent.?”
“huh?”
“Monster Front here pays well. The new commander, His Highness the Prince, said it would be useful. Didn't I say I was going to spread the word?.”
“Ah, that.”
okay. It was a few months ago, but I remember it clearly. He said he would spread the word to continental mercenaries..
I gladly agreed to do the same..
There's nothing better than having mercenaries flock to this city..
“After hearing the rumor, my former mercenary colleagues came to see me..”
Jupiter pointed to the mercenaries standing behind him..
Middle-aged men and women with clear wrinkles on their faces bowed politely to me..
Five people including Jupiter. There is exactly one party..
“The party name is… … Should we just call it ‘Old Hunters’??”
Jupiter spoke confidently..
“They are experienced friends who have fought on many hellish fronts. It will help you.”
“Jupiter.”
But I shook my head slightly.
“Your magical energy runaway injury hasn't healed yet. The insertion of wires is not permitted..”
“majesty.”
Jupiter did not back down.
“I heard that the opponent for this defense battle is a vampire..”
“…….”
“You'll need at least one more skilled wizard. Isn't it??”
I kept my mouth shut. That's natural.
A quick look shows that all of them are high-level veterans. The grade is also acceptable.
It would be of great help if you could use it in this battle..
but…….
“Don't worry. That's a mercenary. I'm not stupid enough to unleash magic even while burning my body..”
Jupiter took a big step forward and muttered desperately..
“majesty. give this old man a chance.”
“…….”
“That I am still a useful human being... … Give me a chance to prove myself.”
I couldn't bear to refuse.
“……come in. We'll have a strategy meeting with dinner soon..”
I smiled bitterly as I gestured into the mansion..
“5I guess I should prepare more servings..”
***
a few hours later.
Manor house. restaurant.
We were told to gather by 6 p.m., but before 5 p.m., all party members had gathered..
A long table was set up in the restaurant, and four party members sat down one after another..
From the head of the table, the order is the main party, the Shadow Unit, the Dion Mercenaries, and the Old Hunters who just joined..
Junior, who was invited separately, is also sitting at the table with the main party..
It looks like they're getting closer since they're chatting amicably..
At that time, Junior's eyes met Jupiter, who was silently swallowing water at the corner of the table..
“…….”
“…….”
The grandmother and granddaughter eventually looked away as if nothing had happened. That's right.
“Everyone is here.”
When I stood at the head of the table, everyone fell silent and focused on me. I nodded..
“Originally, I was going to feed him first and then have a meeting. Since you came early, let’s have a meeting first and then eat. Are you okay??”
Dion and Godhand nodded immediately..
“Of course, your highness.!”
“This defensive war tactical meeting is much more important than a meal..”
I scratched my chin..
“hmm… … That's true, but... … . After a meeting, I might lose my appetite..”
“haha! The day when my food loses its taste will not come even if the world ends. Don't worry about that..”
Evangeline said with a giggle, and Lucas also nodded with a serious expression on his face. These gluttons.
“good. Then, before the chef brings out the appetizers, I will tell you briefly about the information about this defense battle..”
Huh! Clear your throat.
“First, the most important information. The life of the boss monster of this defense, the vampire lord Celendion, is…….”
I immediately brought up the most important topic..
“……1There are a thousand.”
Celendion has 1,000 life stocks..
I think it could be called the saving king rather than the vampire king..
“…….”
The restaurant became quiet..
At the table where there was silence, Evangeline stuck out her tongue and muttered softly..
“Wow?”
So, I told you, the food may taste bad.…….
“……So you're saying I have to kill that powerful vampire lord a thousand times??”
Lucas muttered shakily..
“To be honest, it seems very difficult to kill it once... … 1,000 times?”
“Of course, it's impossible to kill that monster 1,000 times..”
I grinned..
“So, we have to find another way..”
***
vampire.
It is a monster that takes over the life rights of others and makes them its own through the act of vampirism..
The monarch is the one who stands at the top of this vampire race..
He is the one who owns the lives of all members of the corps as his own..
“Selendion's vampire army was annihilated once for some reason in the past..”
I don’t know what this ‘some reason’ is. All that remains is the setting that it was like this in the distant past..
Anyway, even though all of his subordinate vampires were dead, Selendion, who was left alone, did not abandon his subordinates..
Noblesse oblige).
A monarch is responsible for the lives of his subordinates..
“Selendion split his powerful life force into 1,000 pieces and distributed them to 1,000 of his already dead subordinates, reviving them..”
I nodded heavily..
“Selendion's life is divided among the entire army of Selendion..”
All for one and One for all).
That's the vampire army.
The settings were long, so how is this applied in-game??
“Selendion will not die until the last member of the legion falls..”
You have to kill all the miscellaneous mobs to kill the boss mob..
“And if you fail to kill Selendion in the end, Selendion will retreat, regenerate his legions, and come back..”
If the boss mob raid fails, these bastards respawn. Well, this takes some time.
“The words were long, but in the end, the composition is simple..”
I organized my words..
“There are 1,000 vampire legions that are attacking this time. Until every last piece of the ghoul is completely incinerated... … You can't kill Celendion..”
It's not a figurative expression, but those words are clearly written in Celen Dion's status window..
Unkillable).
Immortality).
You bastard.
“In other words. There is no need to deal with Selendion..”
There's no need to waste firepower on someone who doesn't follow..
“Celendion is the secret weapon I have prepared, and I will isolate it and tie its feet. Meanwhile, you and the regular soldiers annihilate the vampire army..”
Easier said than done, but it's going to be a terribly tough battle..
Even if you remove Celendion, the remaining vampires are incredibly strong..
But without even bothering to show it, I raised my voice..
“Afterwards, raid the lone Selendion and end the defensive battle. This is the main trend of this defensive battle..”
Now, the big flow is like this.
“Now in detail… … I'll show you how to tame them, one by one..”
I snap my fingers! bounced.
Then Ader came into the restaurant again, this time dragging a blackboard full of text and pictures..
“Frost Ghoul. Frost Ghoul Reinforcement. Fallen Blood. A regular vampire. Vampire general. And even the vampire lord Celendion..”
With a stick in my hand, I hit the blackboard! beaten.
“I will now give a detailed lecture on how to attack each object, so everyone should keep it in their heads..”
It's time for a lecture by Ilta instructor, a classics fan.!
“If you put it in, it becomes blood and flesh... … It will be your life in this defense battle, so I hope you all understand it well..”
“Seniors!”
Then Evangeline raised her hand. I'm like oh! She pointed the tip of her wand at Evangeline..
“Okay, Evangeline. Do you have any questions before the lecture??”
Evangeline rolled her eyes and looked at her surroundings and asked cautiously..
“……Lectures cannot be held after eating.?”
“palm vs palm.”
“No, after hearing about the vampire strategy, I think you'll lose your appetite! He said we should do it while eating.!”
Hey, is food the problem now? The future of the defensive battle is in question.!
***
And so, it was three hours later that my passionate strategy lecture ended..
It was well past 8 p.m..
“…….”
“…….”
They all have pale faces that have completely lost their appetite..
I've recited in detail the specs of vampires that you only vaguely knew about, so everyone is likely to get sick of it..
While my lecture continued, the chef who had been watching from the back of the restaurant began to carefully serve appetizers..
However, while the food was placed on the table, all party members were lost in their own thoughts and could not touch the food..
“we… … Can you do it??”
It was Damien who carefully exhaled..
“An enemy stronger than any monster we have faced so far... … It's.”
“…….”
I am reminded of Celendion, whom I encountered just a few days ago in 'Road of the Loser'..
At that time, the main party was defeated by the guy without even being able to do anything. That bastard was definitely strong..
‘But it's a dungeon. It was his headquarters..’
This time we fight at our base..
And in line with Stage 5, his stats will also be adjusted downward. It would be much more worth doing.
‘After all, this game is an RPG.’
The level is a gangster, and the temperament is the king..
In other words.
“I want you to think about the battles you've been fighting..”
If he gets demoted and we get upgraded.
You can catch up. enough.
“All of the previous battles were harsh and almost impossible. but we did it.”
I looked around at everyone and smiled..
“It will happen this time too.”
I had confidence. I am confident in my strategy that I will be able to clear this stage..
but…….
“…….”
Honestly, I wasn't confident..
How many of these can be saved?.
I'm doing my best under the given circumstances, but…….
The limits come clearly.
‘……Ugh.’
Suddenly, that scene flashed through my mind..
When you clear the last stage on Earth.
All party characters are wiped out, and Lucas is the only one who survives..
The back of a lonely figure standing over the corpses of enemies and allies.
‘I won't make it like that..’
I shook my head violently..
‘This time, it's different.’
Here, in real life, Lucas is looking at me and nodding with a face full of trust..
I won't leave you alone, Lucas..
The person who can save... … no one misses.
“There are still 9 days left until the stage starts. Now that we have decided on the strategy, we will train accordingly..”
I sat down at the head of the table, picked up a fork, and stabbed the appetizer plate that no one had touched yet..
“So eat well, everyone.!”
I grinned as I munched on my salad..
“I'm going to die starting tomorrow.”
